Chapter Twenty-Six: South Ridge
"What is 'Wu'?" After dinner, a group of people huddled in a large room, chatting. Except for Isa, who lives next door, everyone else is in the same room.
Ian didn't have the slightest aristocratic shelf, and the two children brought by Shesky had been messing with him for a long time, but he had been sitting in the corner of the bed, and under him was his piano case, and no one could touch it.
"The spell of 'Witch' is similar to the spell of the Black Tower, but it is delayed. Isha leaned against the corner and looked at the Codex she had received from Shesky.
"Delay?"
"It's just not going to happen immediately, some people call it curse, some people call it 'Gu', it's always something that comes from the south, the capital has sent people to see it, it's all unorganized savages. Nemesis said, "And there is the so-called 'witch' hidden inside." ”
"It's kind of interesting, is there a book to study?" Ian remembered the blackness encyclopedia of Huaxia Kingdom, which is said to have an Internet in Kewei City, maybe you can go there and buy a mobile phone.
Or make a mobile phone, it's called a "banana".
"No one wants to spend paper on them, and the people of Manda don't like them. Isha took out a lot of notebooks from her spatial ring and threw them to Ian: "Their spells are rarely used for good deeds, so 'witches' are generally mixed in underground organizations and used by people to ......"
"I'll make it, assassination!, isn't it?" Ian jumped out of bed and picked up the notebook, several pages of which were a summary of Isa's work for "Wu", a knowledgeable mage who had read everything.
Isha nodded, looking at Ian's expression, a little worried. Since his return, this young master likes to dance with knives and sticks, and even recruit mercenaries. To be honest, if it weren't for Isa's spiritual spell next to him, he wouldn't have known how many times he would have died based on his actions.
"Very good, I'm going to check it out someday. ”
"Young master, that place is not for nobles. Isha raised her forehead: "We have a special contact person at home, and I will tell you later." ”
"Not bad, not bad. Ian felt like he had a little more to play with, but the next second, he actually got out of bed, pulled out his case, and prepared to go out the door.
"Young Master?"
"Isha, you and I have a moment. Nemesis, you are optimistic about them. Have fun, Shesky, don't let people see that there are fewer people in this room. Ian immediately changed his tone, and Shesky, who was sitting in his chair, felt a hint of danger, and he sat upright and nodded.
Ian finally turned around and gave the two children a smile, then closed the door and went out into the street with Isha.
Shrouded in a spiritual spell, two men hid in the small city, strolling through the streets. Far away from the tavern, the nightlife here isn't very rich, but Ian has a case on his back and looks around with interest.
"Young Master?" Isha followed behind him, feeling that he was a little different from before.
"A lot of things have been interesting these days, Sister Isa, I want to talk to you alone. By the way, let's go to the vicinity of that villa to have a look. ”
"Young Master, why now?"
"It's not the same to go at night and during the day, it's always right to go and see, and I'm not used to going to bed early anyway. Ian glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and in the previous world, I am afraid it was still training time.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Talking about my father, my thinking is a little clearer, for example, if you follow his past to find it, you are likely to see a lot of truths. Ian bought a glass of juice on the side of the road: "And a lot of things, the House of Lords won't tell you." ”
"Seeing through lies is also a profession, and people who can lie also know how to see through other people's lies. Isha said, "For example, field trips. ”
"But I don't like to lie, Isha, or rather, I don't approve of lying to win a game, it's not good for people to trust each other. Distrust can hinder the development of many things. I know there's a lot of truth in what I'm saying, but you think, it actually affects everyone. ”
"We have a panic ceremony, young master, I understand what you said, but as long as the panic ceremony is there, the benefits of lying will always be more real than telling the truth. ”
"Are you calling me? there's no panic plaza here~" Suddenly, Kars didn't know where to come from. The place where the guardian elf sleeps seems to be a little different from reality, it has been almost a week, and it seems that he has just slept: "Where are we?"
"South of Burke City, over there, there's the Elven Forest. "Isha seems to have a good relationship with Kars.
"Has Mr. Ian been here before? I mean, Ian III. Kars fluttered his little wings and used his tail to get water out of Ian's cup.
"Do you remember?"
"He came back here every summer for a holiday, and when he was a kid, not only him, but also his father. ”
Ian seemed to have caught some inspiration, and he looked up at Isa, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't know about it. After she took up the post of steward of the Ian family, Ian III did come here every year. But before that, she didn't know.
"Why are you here?
"Don't ask me, I don't know. Kars seemed sleepy again, lying on Ian's head, his little tail drooping, "I wouldn't normally show up without the Panic Ritual, and I don't care what they're doing here." It's just that when I wake up in the summer, I always see them here, that's all. I still have to go back in winter, it's uncomfortable and wet here. Hey, isn't there a panic square ahead?"
With that, the two walked to a lively market. This is the heart of the city, and the night casts a veil over it, and many things that happen in the market do not want to see the daytime sun.
"The black market here is obvious. Isha swept her finger over the stones sold at a stall, one of which glowed brightly.
The stones are written - "Magic Rough Stone".
But only one is true.
The stall owner gave Isha a roll of his eyes and pointed to the sign next to her, which also read: Don't sell the Black Tower.
The state protects lies, and because of this, those who deceive people not only do not have to be held accountable by the law, but also do not have to be subject to moral constraints, and they can be at ease when they deceive.
And the center of the bazaar, of course, is Bu Yi Square. It's bustling day and night, and every city is like an open-air casino.
One after another, the winners get everything, and the losers are all full-chested, but because the current world is built up again and again, no one will say anything even if this activity drains all the financial resources of the residents.
After all, there is so much money in the market, but from one gambler's pocket to another's pocket, the country has nothing to lose.
"The Panic Elves here are not the same as the capital. Ian looked at the beggar elf holding the golden bowl around the pillar, which always seemed to have a serious face, but the gold coins in the bowl rang again.
"Panicker, failure. It announced the results of a panic, and countless panic values circulated in people's accounts, followed by a wailing cheer.
"The south is mainly the image of the guardian elves of the Fittier family, as the guardian elves of the aristocratic era, the places we have been to will breed similar panic elves, for example, the city north of the capital, there will be some alien elves, the capital and the west of the capital, mainly the battle elves of the Grant family, and the east is the judgment elves of the Charles family, alas, anyway, they are all the same, that is, they work for people. ”
As he spoke, Kars lost his temper.
"Actually, I don't understand, why our family's guardian elf is a demon, and what does it represent?" Ian grabbed Kars above his head, and looked closely, his appearance really matched the image of the demon in his memory.
"Let go of my young master! Demons are the most cunning race in ancient books, and the Ian family is also the most lying, this is the glory given by your ancestors! We are the result of each other's choices, so yes, you are like demons!"
Tsk tsk. Ian put Kars back on his head, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that the House of Lords did not dare to immediately pronounce the verdict on his panic, but considering that one of the most lying-savvy families, the last lone seedling, Panic naturally had his reasons.
But who would believe that he was telling the truth?
Soon, Ian left Bu Panic Square, but as he walked through the bazaar, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked back, there was only an empty table left in the dark alley, and there was no one left.
"Isa, are you sure no one can see through your magic?" Ian had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Unless the other party's level is higher than mine, the Black Tower assessed me as level six, and Page Seven saw me cast a level seven spirit spell, but in fact, I was already level eighth. Isha frowned: "There are many people who are stronger than me, and the Black Tower should not be able to find much." ”
"Everyone thinks you're on the third floor, but you're actually on the fifth floor. Ian's mouth shattered, and the uneasiness in his heart barely dispelled a little, but he still felt that someone was watching him.
Look at him, not follow him. Outside the city, the feeling fades away. But at that glance in the alley just now, he seemed to really see something.
"Young Master, in front of you is the Southern Delier Mountains, the Elven Forest is behind the mountains, and your villa is over there. ”
Looking down from Isha's hand, the dirt path under her feet gradually extended down to the edge of a small river. The river slowly converges into a rushing stream that surrounds the town behind them and completely separates the valley from the city.
On the other side of the river, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"For an hour and a half, we climbed up from there. Isha, the magic is about to be used. ”
"Yes. ”
As soon as the words fell, on the outskirts of this deserted city, Isha began to draw a spell with her right hand in earnest. Ian watched the huge spiritual power gather on his body, and in the past few days of his own practice, the level of that half-son was definitely different from her.
Isha Sher should be considered a top-notch young mage.
The blue light flashed, and Ian's legs were infused
