"What are you looking at?"

At the table on the side, Feng Yuanbai looked at Feng Yi, who was staring at a newspaper, and he was eating a freshly peeled apple in his mouth.

"Nothing...... A little news, I didn't expect that there was an accident in the town of Ah Li that we passed by a few days ago, and this kind of thing was still engaged in under the current Wusa Empire, and it was poked out, and the royal family probably wouldn't spare this kind of family, boring things. ”

Shaking his head, Feng Yi casually threw the paper on the table, picked up the peeled apples on the plate, and gnawed them directly.

"Big brother, why did you eat my freshly peeled apple!"

The young man on the side threw away the knife in his hand and said angrily.

“......”

Looking at the apple in his hand that had already been gnawed by himself, Feng Yi smiled awkwardly and continued to eat.

"Humph!"

The boy was depressed when he suddenly saw the paper on the table and picked it up.

"Ah Lizhen...... Isn't this the town we passed by before entering the Empire? At that time, I heard that there were some bandits nearby, but they didn't dare to attack us, so I guess they weren't powerful bandits. ”

The boy looked at the paper with interest, and the matter of the apple had been left behind him.

"Speaking of which, we've been on the road for a long time, why haven't we seen that guy with the blood of the An family, are they traveling so fast?"

Feng Yuanbai casually threw the apple core into the trash can on the side of the road, and they were now at a pipeline station leading to the port of Yes from the Yes Empire.

"I don't know, we should be the fastest route, there's no reason why they shouldn't take this route......"

"Maybe they're not leaving......"

At this time, the boy who was looking at the paper suddenly muttered.

"Huh?"

Hearing Feng Zixuan's words, Feng Yi suddenly became agitated.

Yes, we were in a hurry to chase them, but they didn't know they were being chased......

Suddenly, Feng Yi felt that the apple in his hand was not sweet.

"We're not going to run ahead of them, are we?"

Feng Yuanbai seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Feng Yi blankly.

"No...... Right?"

"Actually, big brother doesn't have to worry. ”

The boy suddenly looked up and pointed to the message on the other side of the newspaper.

"Due to the big storm, today is the last flight of this time, half of the special ships will leave the port en masse, today is the penultimate round, the last round is more than a month later, if their target is also the eastern continent, we will meet them sooner or later in the port of yes, miss this flight, they will have to wait for 4 months. ”

Feng Yi looked at the small piece of article in the newspaper, which was the information of the sea ferry in the port of Yes.

Sea ferries are giant ferries that can cross the east and west continents, and in times of great storms, only such boats can withstand relatively weak sea storms.

The disadvantage is that it is slow, and it does not take half a month to travel between the east and west continents. It can take more than a month to take this kind of boat, and it may even take more than two months if the storm is severe.

But this is the only way to go to sea in the event of a sea storm, and it depends on the periodicity of the sea storm.

"Indeed, as long as we get to the port of yes first, no matter what, we will wait until they ......"

After Feng Yuanbai read the announcement, he set aside the young man who began to peel the new apple.

Compared with Feng Zimo, who can only cause trouble, it is obvious that this Feng Zixuan is much stronger, and it is no wonder that the royal family will release him for training.

......

Port yes.

"Golden Scorpion?"

Suzu looked at the information in her hand, at this time she was dressed in white, sitting in a restaurant, looking at a few pieces of paper in her hand, and raised her eyebrows.

"Go out and find the suspected dark mage...... In the town of Ali and ...... The eldest lady of the Cheng family and the guards fought each other, repelled everyone and robbed the second lady of the Rhodes family......"

The second lady of the Rhodes family?

Suzu's originally casual mood suddenly changed, and she began to read the information seriously.

“...... Later, the second lady of the Rhodes family reappeared after the night attack on Ali Town, and the golden scorpion disappeared...... "Ling finally finished reading the information in his hand, and his face returned to light.

"With him, you must be safe. Muttering, the woman finished the coffee on the table, "Golden Scorpion...... I don't know where to go, a level 7 powerhouse, if you are planted in his hands like this, it will be really unlucky for you. ”

"Please note to all passengers in the port of Yes that there is still one hour left for the sea ferry to the Greco-Persian Empire, so please board the ship as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this voice from the magic crystal amplifier, Suzu shook her head, put the paper into the space ring on her hand, and got up and walked into the toilet in the restaurant.

After a while, a masked man in black walked out.

I really don't want to wear this dress, but I still feel comfortable when the sun shines.

When he walked out of the restaurant, Ling's heart inexplicably remembered the short half day he had with Lu Fan in the imperial capital before.

In fact, this time she drank coffee here and took off her clothes, which was also a violation of the law.

In this kind of organization, there is no day when you can show your face, including your peers in the organization.

"I don't know what happened to the headquarters calling me in the past......"

Dozens of days ago, Suzu had already returned to the branch of the Yes Empire in the imperial capital, but before she could sit on her ass, there was news that she would take the fastest sea ferry to the headquarters of the Wind Spirit Empire.

She rushed here, grabbed the stronghold here and got a ticket, just in time to catch this ship.

......

Ah left the town, and the sky was close to dusk.

"Miss Cheng hasn't woken up yet?" Lu Fan walked into the ward, only to see Qian on the side shaking her head slightly, and also saw Cheng Moyin who was still asleep, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh.

It's really a disaster, even if you are betrayed by your family, you will be targeted by the dark magician......

Speaking of the dark mage, Lu Fan remembered the ring he had taken off from that Prell, so he took out the ring from the space backpack and sat on the chair next to him to observe it carefully.

[Detected, Space Ring, unable to open.] ]

A line of words suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Fan was stunned, and the system actually detected that this ring was a space ring.

"Anyway, Xiaoqian, look at this. ”

Lu Fan called out to the girl who was reading a book on the side, and handed over the ring.

"Hey, this is the space ring, where did you get it?" the girl put down the book and handed the ring over.

“...... It doesn't matter, can you turn it on?"

"Why can't it, you don't need magic and vitality to open the space equipment?" said the girl, looking at the ring in her hand, as if observing what was inside.

"Is it......" Lu Fan secretly wiped his sweat, and it seemed that there was an essential difference between his body and the people in this world.

"On the Nature of Magic...... What is this, a magic practice book?" Suddenly, an old booklet appeared in the girl's hand, and judging from the traces on it, it seemed to be a long time ago.

"Huh?" Lu Fan opened the booklet that the girl handed him and began to read.

The book is not thick, and after reading it for a while, Lu Fan realized that something was wrong.

This is not so much a book as a diary-like notebook, in which the author uses a lot of self-talking and a very manic tone.

And the content of the record is indeed too ......

Too edgy?

This author believes that all magic is based on a special particle, not some god-given, and that the magic that produces fire, water, and even light is that people mobilize these special particles and use the magical energy in their bodies to make them change and produce their own desired effects.

And magic restraint is the repulsion of these particles, which will squeeze out the magic factor that they reject, and at this time, it depends on whose magic is strong, and which side of the weaker can be squeezed out.

Most daringly, this man pointed out the reciprocal transformation of magic before it, and pointed out that there is no such thing as evil, and that light and darkness themselves are mutually reinforcing......

Is this a "physical" explanation of magic?

Lu Fan couldn't help but be a little shocked, this kind of remark was very inconsistent with the mainstream concept on this continent, it was simply too advanced.

Is this author still alive?

Judging from the words on the last few pages, the author is on the verge of madness, and he denounces the incomprehension and discrimination of those around him in large numbers, and threatens to change the world, and here it comes to an abrupt end.

"Egkins ......" Here, Lu Fan saw this author mention his name for the first time.

"Egkins? That's a magical apprentice who died at the hands of the Holy See in a hundred years. Hearing Lu Fan's name, Qian took her attention away from the ring.

"Magic apprentice?"

Lu Fan was a little shocked, this may be the first person in this world to guess the essence of the magic factor, but he was just an apprentice?

"Well, this is what a lecturer in a history of magic class mentioned that this person was executed by the people of the Holy See of Light for making inappropriate remarks and openly studying dark magic, and saying that dark magic is not evil or anything...... It's from the Greco-Persian Empire. ”

The girl put her index finger under her lips and made a thinking gesture, probably trying to remember what the lecturer said.

Studying dark magic, was put to death...... Lu Fan looked at the yellowed booklet in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the scientist named Bruno, who was burned to death by the Holy See for promoting Copernicus's heliocentric theory.

It's just that why did this kind of booklet end up in that Prell's hands, and did he get any inspiration from this book?

"Sir, is this the dark mage's spatial ring?"

Akane on the side suddenly said this.

"It's indeed his, I picked it off his hand last night, what, is there anything else in it?"

“...... There's something to do with dark magic, and there's some money. The girl nodded, not taking them out.

"Are we going to hand in these things?" Lu Fan thought for a while, but decided to ask the girl's opinion.

"Why do you want to pay, people are defeated by Mr., this is something that belongs to Mr. in the first place. Akane didn't agree, and even a little dissatisfied, and handed the ring back.

"There are tens of thousands of gold coins in it, to say the least. ”

Lu Fan looked at the ring on his hand, slightly embarrassed, although the money was good, but the more than 3k that he sold the magic crystal at the beginning was not used up, and he couldn't use this ring himself.

"Isn't this ring quite spacious. Lu Fan glanced at the small backpack hanging on Qian's waist, and seemed to think of something.

"It's pretty big......"

"Then I'll use it for you, I don't need this ...... anyway"

Lu Fan couldn't help but pull one of Qian's hands over, put the ring on her index finger, and regardless of whether the size was suitable or not, he withdrew his hand and hurriedly got up and walked out of the ward.

What he didn't notice was the already red cheeks of the black-haired girl and the strange gaze of Uncle Zhong standing by the window looking at the two.
