Chapter 22: Gathering from all directions
The Blue City has become more and more lively in the past few days, and the rooms around the magic trial ground have been full, among which there are many rebuyers and resellers, and some guests have paid a month's room money at once, ready to sell to the magicians who can't find a house at a higher price.

A group of people crept into the Blue City without attracting anyone's attention. The old man at the head of the group sat in a green robe and led the group into an inn slowly. The few rooms they booked in advance were among the most luxurious in the area.
"Shopkeeper, who lives downstairs?" one of the people in the team inadvertently asked the boss.
"It's inconvenient for us to do business," the boss replied with a grin, and then whispered, "They are all about twenty years old, but they are all wearing black robes, and one of them is wearing a mask, and it seems that it is also for this magic competition." ”
"I don't think so," the man smiled arrogantly, "what can you do at about twenty? ”
"Yes, I don't know how many of you ......?"
"Don't ask!" the man interrupted suddenly, and then handed over a gold coin, "We haven't been going out for a few days, so when we get to dinner, I'll send some food upstairs, just eat it, and the rest will be yours." ”
When the boss got the gold coin, he stopped talking and hurriedly put it in his pocket.
After entering the house, several people gathered together to sit down, and the green-robed old man on the main seat was the first to speak: "I told you before I came, this is the Blue Continent, not your tribe." Don't go out these days, wait for the girl to come. ”
Ten days until the beginning of next month, the Magic Trial Ground had already been attacked dozens of times during the night. The goal of the visitors is very simple, that is, the "right hand of God" who is heavily protected.
"The people who are coming are getting more and more powerful, I'm afraid these people can't resist. Benjamin, the Supreme of the Light Department, sighed.
"Do you want us old men to watch over it ourselves?" muttered Andre in a huff.
"Isn't that the girl's trick?" said Muggis.
"Do you think she's really not worried about the theft of the Divine Hand?" Calvin, the usually silent Summoning Archmage, suddenly spoke.
Compared to the patriarchs of other families, Calvin is not a master of magic, and the summoning department has never had a master of magic, but this kind of magic that few people practice makes other magicians stay away because of its mystery.
"Could it be ......" Water System Supreme Lambert suddenly didn't dare to think about it.
"Are you so skeptical?" Benjamin didn't seem to believe either.
Lambert nodded: "It's just that this price is a little bigger." ”
"I think it's just a coincidence. "There was indeed an explosion that day, but I didn't feel the fluctuation of the earth-based magic, and there were no burns at the scene, so it shouldn't be the fire-based magic." Other than that, no other magic can cause an explosion, I can only believe that it is the power of the hand of God. ”
"Those amethyst faults are very new, they don't look like they were cut, they should have also broken after the explosion. "Freeman, who is proficient in wind magic, has a superhuman sensitivity to some cuts.
"That's a bargain for her!" Andre regretted remembering the amethyst.
"As long as you get the hand of God, what are those amethysts?" Mugis obviously didn't want to mention amethyst again, because he was the leader of the Seven Great Patriarchs at that time, and he took the initiative to give up Amethyst.
Andrei snorted dissatisfiedly, he had always thought that he would not be able to hide anything.
Benjamin understood and quickly changed the topic: "Then let's discuss how to deal with the hands of God." ”
There was silence.
Benjamin had no choice but to speak first: "Now we only have two ways, one is to try our best to protect it, and the other is to take it ourselves." We...... Let's decide. ”
In this way, a group of top figures on the mainland, after discussing a unified solution, could only adopt the most primitive method -- voting by a show of hands. In the end, only Andre, Muggis, and Calvin agreed to take the Hand of God, while the other four decided that it was better to protect the Hand of God from falling into the hands of others.
"Then, how about we do this first, and then each family sends some masters to guard it?" Although Benjamin was extremely reluctant to be the leader, he could only speak cheekily when he saw that Muggis had nothing to do with himself.
"In that case, let's live nearby, so if something happens, we might as soon as we get there. Sam added.
"That's it. ”
Imperial Palace.
"Queen Mother, where are you going?" William asked when he saw that Princess Ante was about to go out in disguise.
"Go see your grandfather. Princess Ante stared at William, as if caught in a memory.
"Grandpa?" William's eyes widened, "Grandpa is here, where is he? I'm going to see him too." ”
"You can't go for a while, practice magic at home, you'll see you later. Princess Ante, who had already dressed in her civilian clothes, glanced at William, and turned to walk out.
Elena was also worried about the magic contest at this time.
"Are all of them here?" Elena pointed to a list in front of her.
"I've already entered the city, but I don't know where I live. Clausen replied from his lower position.
"It's good to come in. Elena commanded, "In and out of the city in the past few days, you must record it, especially the movements of these people. If there's nothing to do, you can go down. ”
"Princess," Clawson had evidently something to say, "the dozen or so teenagers we met on our return from Colo have already entered the city. ”
"Well, what are they doing here?" Elena frowned, "looking at this group, I think they are coming strangely. By the way, you call Brother Lin, you go down first. ”
"Brother Lin, your friend is here. Elena said to Lin Qian as soon as she came up.
"What friend?" Lin Qian didn't know who was his true friend in this world.
"Those friends who caught you last time. Elena said this with obvious displeasure.
"They're not friends, they're just acquaintances. Lin Qian knew that she was still worried about the other party's sneak attack on her in the first place.
"Can you tell me who they are?" Elena had never asked Lin Qian about the past, but this time she must not allow an accident to appear.
Lin Qian knew that she wanted to know, and told the truth: "They ...... I was a student of Lipsus, and I was brought there by Lipsus to live with them. Lipsus is missing now, and they think I betrayed Lipsus, so they want to ask me about it. ”
"What the hell happened that day?" Elena asked for the first time, though she had guessed most of it.
Lin Qian had no choice but to explain the matter roughly, anyway, with the intelligence of the little girl, she would be able to find out sooner or later.
"Brother Lin is so smart, he still thinks so much when he escapes. "Elena is saying that he went back to report the fake letter and ran away with his things.
Lin Qian also sighed with emotion when he thought about it, he finally escaped death, and fell into a predicament again: "Yes, if I am not smart, your father will not be resurrected." ”
One sentence made the atmosphere suddenly fall into freezing, which was something that Elena and Lin Qian didn't want to mention. Elena has apologized to Lin Qian, so she has always treated Lin Qian like an older brother, as long as Lin Qian is safe and waits for death. Lin Qian also likes this little girl very much, and sometimes treats her as a little sister, but he always feels uncomfortable.
"Alright, I'll go back. Lin Qian broke this embarrassment first.
Along the way, Lin Qian didn't raise his head, entered the room, leaned back on the chair, spread his legs, tilted his head back, closed his eyes and recuperated.
"Childe," Xiao Yi's voice sounded in her ears, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"Oh, no. Lin Qian hurriedly put on a serious sitting posture in front of the woman.
"Childe, you kept your head down when you walked just now, and you didn't see me, were you thinking about something?"
"It's okay, do you have something?" Lin Qian was reluctant to confide in his heart at will, even if he said it, the other party would not understand.
"Childe, you ......"
"Oh, yes. Lin Qian was afraid that she would ask again, so he hurriedly interrupted, "Although I said that I want to marry you, if you regret it, you can regret it at any time!"
Xiao Yi's face turned red: "Xiao Yi will not regret it." ”
"How could it not?" Lin Qian's voice suddenly mentioned, "Don't be swayed by the interests of the family, your happiness must be carefully chosen." You don't know how precious it is to have the choice in your own hands!"
"Childe, you...... What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yi also noticed that Lin Qian's emotions became excited.
Lin Qian gradually stabilized his emotions: "I'm sorry, I was a little out of shape just now. ”
"Childe, can you tell me about your world?" Xiao Yi's tone was still so gentle, like a spring breeze in March.
Somehow, Lin Qian was suddenly very grateful to the person in front of him, which made him couldn't help but agree to her request.
"You also sit, there is no master and servant in this house, and there is no one in the world, and everyone should be his own master. ”
Counting it, it's been more than half a month in this world, and I don't know what has become of school and home?
"Do you have parents?" Lin Qian asked.
"I have a mother, my father died very young, and I haven't seen what he looks like. As soon as Xiaoyi's eyes were red, she was about to cry.
Lin Qian didn't seem to see it, and said to himself: "I have parents, I have a bunch of relatives, friends, brothers and sisters, but now I don't know what happened to them. I don't even have time to think about them anymore, I can't do my own thing. ”
"Childe, do you want to go back?"
"Go back?" Lin Qian thought about this question more than once, but there was almost no possibility, "I don't dare to think about it anymore, do I still have a chance to go back?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yi replied with tears in her eyes, but replied firmly, "You will go back, there will be a day." ”
Lin Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Even I don't believe it." ”
"Childe, you must believe it!" Xiao Yi really wanted to tell him: I have already seen the day you go back.
