The weather in the rainy season is changing, it was originally a very hot weather that was about to roast people, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered and rainstorms suddenly came, and the sleepless city standing in the torrential rain looked like a giant beast lying on the horizon from a distance, this level of heavy rain is also relatively rare for the sleepless city located in the north of the imperial border, but the sleepless city is also relatively dry, after the heavy rain falls on the ground, it will be quickly absorbed by the hungry and thirsty ground, don't worry about causing floods, but the people who are still outside the city are suffering, and they must quickly find a place to hide from the rain.

Hundreds of miles south of Sleepless City, more than a dozen heavily armed knights quickly set up their horses and galloped, among them there was a huge metal cart pulled by six horses, the wooden cart was densely bound with iron chains This huge metal box engraved with magic array, next to them sat several people dressed in magician robes, the group of people along the official road towards Sleepless City fast, although the equipment and weapons on everyone's body along the way have been scarred and bloodstained, but everyone rubbed the emblem on their chest very brightly, look carefully, the emblem is the symbol of the Molten Gold Blacksmith Guild。

The cloud-covered Sleepless City was already not far from the team, and after running for a while, one of the knights leading the team at the front raised his hand, and the entire huge escort team slowly stopped.

"President, the horses are reaching their limit and need to stop and rest. When the group stopped, the leading knight urged his crotch steed to the middle of the group and said to a knight wearing a hood.

By this time, the six horses pulling the carts had foamed at the corners of their mouths, and the loud and rapid gasps could be heard even at the end of the procession.

"Yes, take a break before you go, but don't take it lightly and keep an eye on your surroundings. The man known as the chairman said slowly, and there was a small forest not far away, which was a good place to ambush.

"Yes. The leading horseman turned around and went to rest, and the chief jumped off his horse, rubbed his sore back, and took out the water bladder on his waist and took a big sip of it.

There is still some distance from Sleepless City, it is already outside the coverage of the torrential rain, and the sun is still scorching overhead, although the current strength of the president has long been cold and heatless, but the long journey and a series of things that happened in the middle also made him feel depressed in his heart.

"Looking at this distance, it will take at least one day to reach Sleepless City, and after the construction and activation of the Ring of Time and Time is completed, it will be just in time for the third round of the Guild Competition. The president said softly, watching the leading knight command the deployment not far away, and slowly walked towards the back of the team.

"This guild sacrificed too much in exchange for the right to use the Ring of Time once, and even Mike died on the way, I hope those little cubs can be worthy of such a sacrifice. A middle-aged man came up to the president and whispered, this middle-aged man looked very burly, with a short black beard and beard that had not been taken care of for a long time, and half of his face was like wearing a mask.

Although the guild leader had his back to the several magicians sitting on the cart, he still managed to keep an eye on the other side in case the other party heard the conversation on his side.

"The resources traded with the Wizards Guild are not important, it's just a pity for Mike, but Mike, as the vice president of the guild, can fight for the rise of the guild until the last moment, then he is glorious, but Sacolaire, over the years, I have worked hard to gather the resources of the entire guild, and it has taken decades to make the entire guild pretend to be a shrunken turtle so that the imperial royal family can relax a trace of suppression of the guild, so I have won this opportunity, so even if I need to sacrifice my life, I will not have the slightest hesitation, this matter can only succeed, otherwise, the entire guild will not have a bright day。 Although his voice was small, the resolute will of the president when he spoke was very obvious.

"Yes, the inheritance has been cut off for nearly a thousand years, I don't know how the ancestors of the guild persevered, all we are asking for is dignity, if it weren't for the arrangements made by the ancestors and the president over the years, maybe the guild would have disappeared long ago, this time we must seize the opportunity. Sarcolaire said slowly.

"Let Reeth be careful, although it is very close to Sleepless City, but there is still a trace of danger in my heart, the strength of my level will not have a useless premonition, I don't know how to leak the news before causing Mike to die. "Rytoth is the knight in the lead.

"Yes, President, I'll remind Reeth. Sacolaire returned.

"Well, my injuries in the previous battle have not yet recovered, and if you can't keep it when you use inspiration to explore the surroundings, there will be mistakes, you are currently the most well-preserved strength in the entire team, you must be more careful before you arrive at Sleepless City, don't make any mistakes in the last step, okay, you go and help Retoth, I'll take a walk and rest by myself, by the way, take care of those magicians, and when the time comes, it will all depend on them to build the ring of time." The fact that the president was able to say such things showed that he trusted Sarcolaire to the extent that he could entrust his life to the other side.

"Yes, President. Sacolaire nodded and walked away.

Looking at the Sleepless City that seemed to be swallowed by dark clouds in the distance, the guild leader sighed softly: "Black clouds crush the city, just like our guild, Sleepless City, you, the immortal fortress that maintains the spirit of hundreds of millions of human beings to resist aliens, will become a springboard for my Divine Weeping Warrior Guild to rise again." ”

。。。。。。

On the evening of the end of the second round of the competition, the elven ambassador Shalamander, who was originally going to follow His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince back to the imperial capital the next day, fell ill and had a high fever.

"Your Royal Highness, I have used a lot of medicine and changed several treatments, Ambassador Shalamand is still unconscious, and the high fever has never gone away, the body structure of the elves and my human race is very similar, if this high fever continues, I am afraid that something will happen." In the study of the thirteen princes of the royal palace, the court doctor lowered his head and reported to the thirteen princes.

Listening to the report of the court doctor, the thirteenth prince had another thing in his mind.

"It seems that these elves are indeed looking for something in Sleepless City, and in order not to leave Sleepless City, they actually used the trick of pretending to be sick, and now the only clue they know is that little blacksmith named Andre, do you want to get him to the palace to ask carefully. "The Thirteenth Prince was not worried about Shalamander's condition, he was sure that the elven ambassador's illness was caused by them nine times out of ten, in order to continue to stay in the city that never sleeps.

"Are there any traces of magic on the ambassador?" asked the Thirteenth Prince, without a clue.

Knowing what the Thirteenth Prince wanted to ask, the court doctor replied quickly.

"The ambassador has only her own magic, and it flows normally, and no traces of spells such as curses have been found. ”

The Thirteenth Prince nodded and continued, "Did the other elves of the ambassador say anything, such as the ambassador had this disease before. ”

"One of the elves said that the ambassador would have symptoms for a few days every year, and then he would get better after a few days of rest, which sounded like a chronic curse, but I didn't find the cause of the symptoms after I checked it. The court doctor returned.

"Okay, I know, in the next few days, you should be diligent, take good care of the ambassador, let her get better as soon as possible, and we can return to the imperial capital as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince was probably sure that Shalamander was pretending to be sick, but it was difficult for the court doctors with excellent medical skills to find out, which made the Thirteenth Prince a little curious, and that once a year, it sounded ridiculous to him.

When the court doctor went out, the thirteenth prince had a bunch of high-end nutrition and medicines brought to Ambassador Shalamande's room.

。。。。。。

The full moon hung high, except for the people standing guard in the royal palace, everyone else had already fallen asleep, and Garanord, who was staying in the "sick" ambassador's room and was pretending to sleep, suddenly opened her eyes, she stood up, quietly lifted the ambassador's quilt, and stroked all over the ambassador's body, and then a few long green needles as thin as hair appeared in her hand.

The ambassador, who was in a coma with a high fever after being "sick", slowly opened his eyes, and the flush on his face due to the high fever quickly dissipated.

"Ambassador, get up and get some water and rest. Garanord said in a lip tongue.

The ambassador nodded, even if she was pretending to be sick, but the prolonged high fever made her mouth dry and dizzy.

Taking a sip of cold water, the ambassador's spirits were lifted a lot.

"How's it going?" asked Shalamander, too, with his lips.

"The people who have been dealing with the Thirteenth Prince today have no chance to get out. Garlanor replied.

"Okay, I'm going to pretend to be sick for a few days later, but after that, when you use the vein golden needle, you have to make my symptoms a little less every day, otherwise it won't be possible to say that I will suddenly get better, and this high fever is too uncomfortable, can you get other symptoms?" Kicking the tightly covered quilt away, Salamand said with a frown.

Garanord shook his head, indicating that he had no other way.

"Forget it if you don't, the mother tree matters, you have to find a chance to contact that little blacksmith starting tomorrow, and we will delay until the final of this blacksmith competition is over. ”

"Yes, Ambassador. ”

"Get me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger after a day of sweating, and the most important thing is that I can't take a shower yet, it's too sticky and uncomfortable. ”

After eating a lot, Shalamander lay down again, and fell asleep after a while, but Garlanod did not rush to give her the needle, the golden needle of the vein worked very quickly, and it was not too late to let the ambassador "feign illness" when it was almost dawn.
