A not-so-big farce ended, bringing many unexpected results to Lin Qian. First, the knot he had been unable to let go of was finally let go, second, his relationship with Xiaoyi had finally changed substantially, and third, for another reason, he once again felt unable to face Elena.

Since that day when Xiao Yi told him that Elena also had a secret affection for him, Lin Qian had some thoughts when he got along with Elena. He secretly observed Elena's reaction and expression, and finally determined the truth of this conclusion, and then tried to avoid her. Guild - main courtyard - branch, the life of three points and one line made Lin Qian gradually alienate Elena in her busyness, making her really become an imperial princess who lived alone in the boudoir.

The first general meeting of the Magic Guild was officially held in early February, and it was Lin Qian and a group of magician cadres who participated.

"Childe, Calvin's whereabouts are still unknown, and their family has re-elected a patriarch, who is the previous Great Elder-Caria. I heard that Caria used thunder to get rid of many dissatisfied elders, as well as many of Calvin's cronies, and the whole family is now panicked, and the overall strength is much weaker. "The Ice Plains Sanren has now taken Clausen's place as Lin Qian's follower, of course, he actually belongs to the royal family, so he doesn't call Lin Qian the president.

Lin Qian had great respect for this short and thin water magician, on the one hand, his experience was quite legendary, and on the other hand, he was also Elena's uncle and his elder.

Calvin basically won't come out easily, he has offended both sides this time, and I'm afraid there won't be any good fruit for him to eat anywhere. As for the family now known as Karia, Lin Qian still had an account that he hadn't settled with them, and the two elders were bent on putting themselves to death that day, almost killing him.

"How's the chapter in Crystal City? I'm going to check it out when I have time, it's a strategic location and our home base against the Caria family. ”

"It's basically been built, and the scale is about the same as here, but there is no candidate for the post of branch president for the time being. The Ice Plains replied respectfully.

"Actually, the seniors are the best candidates, but I'm afraid this girl Elena won't agree to let you go. "Lin Qian knew that the Ice Plains Sanren had led a group of magicians here, but it was just because there were no magicians to support them in the early days of the guild.

A young magician below smiled and said, "The elder is serious, you and Her Royal Highness the princess have no distinction between each other, as long as—"

"Eh-" Lin Qian immediately interrupted, "What don't we distinguish between each other? We are a magic guild, not a royal magician group, and I can't mess up my personal relationship with Elena." In particular, don't think that you have a princess behind you when you do things, and you will become more and more arrogant, and I have heard a lot of people report this kind of problem recently. ”

No one said a word about the magicians below, it was the first time they saw that Lin Qian was dissatisfied with them, and they had always had this idea in their hearts: this magic guild was just authorized by the princess to Lin Qian to manage, in fact, it was still a big force belonging to the royal family, and they were actually working hard for the royal family. But now it seems that this elder has a lot of intention of distancing himself from the royal family.

"Okay, I'll find someone else to go to Crystal City,—— is there any movement over there in Nanyang?" Although Lin Qian did not rule the empire, he was still more concerned about the potential hidden dangers of the empire.

"They seem to be holding a water festival lately, but because of the disagreements between the elders and the tribal islanders below, they have been delaying this matter lately, and there have been several conflicts. ”

It turns out that the inhabitants of the South Sea Islands are often threatened by the fierce beasts of the sea, Einsos, so they perform water sacrifices at the beginning and middle of each year, that is, they send living people into the sea to sacrifice to fierce beasts. Although the elders later ruled the entire tribe, this "tradition" was preserved, as the threat of ferocious beasts never diminished. Even a master like Poolem was still helpless in the face of such a fierce beast, and his son was also captured by the beast and became its belly.

Although the method of human sacrifice was dull, the inhabitants of the tribe preferred to believe that it would reduce the number of movements of the beasts, rather than follow the advice of the elders and move all of them to the higher parts of the island. They live on the sea and feed on it, and they are a little helpless without it. And the strength of the elders is there, and they can't deal with the beasts, so who should these residents trust?

"What the hell is going on with that beast?Is there a race that is more difficult to deal with than the dragon race?" Lin Qian knew that the dragon race was strong, but he didn't expect that there were stronger species in this world.

"We have only heard of it in recent years, and there is no record of it in the historical records, so I am afraid that it only operates in the waters of the South Sea. It is said that it is huge, resembling a giant fish, covered with thick scales, and ordinary magic has no effect on it at all, the only drawback is that it never lands, and may not be able to leave the water. A well-informed old magician replied.

Lin Qianxin said This is really every race has weaknesses, human life is extremely short, the strength of the dragon race grows very slowly, this fierce beast can't do without the water environment all its life, and the creator is really impartial.

The Ice Plains Sanren, who was sitting on the side, added, "Actually, there is another theory about this beast. It is said that the right hand of the god went to the mainland to spread magic, and the left hand went to the South Seas, and this beast may have been the fierce beast that the left hand of the god finally suppressed, but for some reason it broke free. ”

"Hmph, this god is really powerful. Lin Qian didn't have any awe for this legendary creator god, some were just curious. The reason why he was able to reach this world must have been sent to him by a powerful person, and at present, it seems that only the power of God can reach this state, but he doesn't know where to find this "god".

On the largest island in the South Seas, Potlaim sat on a rock on the edge of the beach and meditated with his eyes closed, as if waiting for someone to arrive. After a long time, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, "He is worthy of being the number one magician in the mainland." ”

Lipsus, dressed in a black robe, looked at the churning waves with his hands behind his back and looked thoughtfully, he had just appeared, but he seemed to have been standing here for a long time.

"You've been looking very bad lately, so be careful that you can't hold it up. Lipsus said with some concern.

"Hey, a handful of old bones, just scatter!" said Potlem was basking in the sun, where the sun had always been good, but his face had always been very pale.

"Did you find what I wanted?" said Lipsus.

"If it's so easy to find, your strength doesn't stop there. "Potlime was a little helpless, since he couldn't find anything, then Lipsus was likely to leave with his hands.

"Do you think there are only three books in the world?"

"Illusions, puppets, and space, which one is not a universal thought? Three books, enough. "Potlaim seemed to be trying to persuade him to give up.

"Three is enough, but I always feel that there is another mystery in this. You're an outsider, and I want to hear you once. "Lipsus rarely asks for advice in an inquiring manner.

Potlaim tightened his crutches and drew slowly on the beach: one horizontally and one vertically, one horizontally and one vertically.

"You mean him?" Lipsus was a little puzzled, "you haven't been in contact with him a few times, why are you so sure?"

Potlaim chuckled softly, and glanced at the inhabitants in the distance who were secretly preparing a water sacrifice: they were carrying an old man who was about to die of illness onto a raft and sent him to the depths of the ocean.

"My people, though they are a little dull, are good people who believe in the retribution of heaven and earth, and they believe that all causes have an effect, and that all effects have a cause. ”

"I see. Lipsus was about to leave. Since only Lin Qian can understand the last words on those three books, the final result has to be found from Lin Qian.

"You're still so impatient. "Potletme educates Lipsus like a student, and Lipsus is not angry at all.

"If you're not in a hurry, there's no time to rush, and you should think about it. Lipsus looked at the other party's old face, and must have remembered the past, and stopped for a moment.

"What's there to think about? There are things that I have forgotten myself, maybe God will not remember. Portlem pointed. The two seem to have had a relationship before, otherwise they wouldn't have talked so peacefully.

"Why don't you stop it? This should happen a lot, right?" Lipsus watched as the group of people pushed the raft into the ocean, and the old man on it looked peaceful, not caring about his life or death at all.

"If the people on top of us are incapable, why should we stop the people below from trying? We can't make them safe, they should have the right to make themselves feel at ease. "Potlime was talking about the water festival in a breezy manner. I wonder if the other elders will be angry when they hear his remarks.

A wave hit it, and the already rickety raft was overturned in one fell swoop, and the old man on it also lost his composure and fell into the sea in a panic. Lipsus disappeared from the beach at some point, and when he reappeared, he was holding what appeared to be a potion in his hand.

"It seems that your people are not very kind. Lipsus opened the jar and poured out all the contents of it.

This potion was taken from the old man's body, and the liquid inside was black and steaming, which should be used to "poison" the beast.

"They're not stupid, they're just incapable, and I'm underestimating them. Potolem said with a pause. He has always regarded himself as a wise man and a strong man, and he naturally scoffs at things like water festivals, but today's wave of residents has given him a different concept.

"Don't underestimate any thought, what they lack is just an opportunity. ”
