After walking out of the stronghold, Ling Xiao and Xiao Key did not go directly to the beach, but came to the core of the entire Fort of Concedu, the castle lord's mansion of Fort Concedu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the Key, although the Dark Realm and Fort Concedus are facing each other, there is a Dark Abyss Strait in between.

The Abyss Strait, where feathers do not float, birds do not cross, is extremely dangerous, and it is impossible to cross from Fort Concedu to the Dark Realm without a very strong ship.

And all the ships on the shores of the Abyss Strait are in the hands of the greatest force in Fort Concedu, the Lord of Fort Dus.

The Dark Realm provides ships for the Dark Realm's magicians, and the Dark Realm's magicians are paid to pay each other, which can be said to be the only economic income for the Castle of Conscience, which is located in the westernmost part of the continent and cannot grow food.

Although this transaction was not officially recognized, the lord of Concetus was obviously not an ordinary person, and for thousands of years, the royal family of the Tis Empire did not send anyone here, or perhaps, they did not know about it at all.

Ling Xiao wanted to reach the Dark Realm, and he had no choice but to take the road to Fort Concedu.

Located in the center of the castle, it is the most luxurious building in the entire castle, and the dark red gate exudes a vast color in the twilight, like dried blood, telling the pathos of time.

"Stop! Who are you! ”

As soon as Ling Xiao and Xiao Key walked up the steps, a row of soldiers with spears in their arms instantly rushed up, and the sharp spears were pressed against the foreheads of several people, and even the stinging pain could be felt through the skin.

The air instantly tensed, and as long as they made the slightest movement, Ling Xiao believed that the soldier's spear would unceremoniously pierce their eyebrows.

His brows furrowed slowly, and in Ling Xiao's eyes, a circle of spiral-shaped black particles slowly rotated.

The soldier's spear, the polished and shiny spear head, suddenly appeared out of thin air a wisp of black flame, and the head of the fine iron sealed spear burned under this evil black flame, leaving only a round wooden stick.

"Dark Mage!"

With an exclamation, the soldiers took two steps back in fright, and their eyes were full of fear and fear when they looked at Ling Xiao.

"Go in and tell your lord, and say that someone has come to visit."

At this moment, out of the soldiers came a slightly older man, who seemed to be very calm and unfazed by the dark magic that Ling Xiao cast.

He first nodded respectfully towards Ling Xiao, then pushed open the door of the Castle Lord's Mansion and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The rest of the soldiers looked at each other, they didn't advance or retreat, they looked at each other a few times, and finally they could only stand in front of Ling Xiao, lest he suddenly break into the mansion.

The reputation of dark mages on the continent is unknown to everyone and everyone does not know, especially in Fort Concedu, where powerful dark magic can solve many things.

Sure enough, a string of hurried footsteps came from behind the door.

Here it comes.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, judging from the degree of disorder in his footsteps alone, it should be two people, one was a soldier who had just entered, and the other must be the butler or consul of the capital fort.

With a creak, the door of the castle lord's mansion was opened again, and the soldier who had just entered hurriedly walked out, and behind him, sure enough, followed by a gentleman who looked like a butler.

After the butler saw Ling Xiao, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, just from the soldier's description of the magic used by Ling Xiao, he judged that Ling Xiao's strength must have reached the realm above the level of a magician, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

After all, the butler is also a person who has seen the world, his eyelids are drooping, and he hides the surprise in his heart very well.

"You go down first, you can't tell anyone about today's incident, violators, family law will deal with it."

The butler waved at the soldiers, who breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed. For them, Ling Xiao's black flames were too terrifying, and they didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour.

"Uh, I don't know ...... little brother"

"Steward, I'm afraid this is not the place to talk."

Interrupted by Ling Xiao's voice, Guan was stunned for a moment, but even if he understood, his eyes flashed with apologies.

"Little brother is right, this is indeed not the place to speak, please, please inside." With that, the housekeeper opened the door and invited Ling Xiao in.

"I don't know if the little brother is coming to my castle lord's mansion?" The steward looked at Ling Xiao with an inquiring look, he didn't believe that a dark mage of the level of a magician or above would come up to play here on a whim.

"That's right, I'm here to borrow a boat to go to the Dark Realm, I don't know if it's convenient." With a slight salute, Ling Xiao bluntly expressed his intention.

"This ......," the steward suddenly became embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao's heart chuckled, and his speed of speech was a little urgent.

"It's... Since the little brother is a dark mage, then I won't hide it, we at Fort Concedou do control the transportation between the continent and the Dark Realm, but now it's not that we don't want to go to the Dark Realm, but because the Dark Realm unilaterally closed this transportation road. ”

"Unilateral closure?"

"Yes, you also know that there is an abyss strait between the dark country and my Concedou Castle, the abyss strait has monstrous waves, dangerous and abnormal, and the periphery of the dark country is shrouded in a very thick layer of sea fog all year round, if no one responds in the dark country, our ships will not be able to find the right route through the sea fog, we have an agreement with the dark country in the past, but we have not been able to contact the dark country recently, so ......"

The steward's face showed a look of embarrassment, needless to say that Ling Xiao could understand that they didn't want to let themselves go to the Dark Realm.

Why did the Dark Realm cut off its connection with Fort Consedu Ling Xiao is very clear, at this time, the Dark Realm is in the midst of civil strife, and if the Soul Eater Hall and the Puppet Hall want to force Jing'er, the lord of the Dark Realm, to step down, it is impossible for her to escape, and severing contact can also prevent people from the mainland from coming to make trouble.

However, the more chaotic the Dark Realm became, the more Ling Xiao had to rush there, not only because he had promised Xiao Key to save her father, but also because of the girl who had a dream in the "dream".

"Isn't there any other way?" Ling Xiao's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect the problem to be so tricky, the Soul Devouring Hall and the Puppet Hall were really aggressive, acting like this, I am afraid that it was not just to pull Jing'er down from the position of the Lord of the Dark Country.

"What if we don't need your people, we just need to borrow your ship and go to the Dark Realm on our own."

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, the steward snorted and laughed, "Little brother, don't say this outside, as we all know, the Abyss Strait is surging, the waves are surging, the wind is rampant, and the sea beasts are raging, not to mention the magician, even the magician, the magician-level magician, he doesn't dare to sail the boat alone, the sea is boundless, the sea is boundless, if you are not careful, you will lose your way, and then die on the ******." ”

"This ......" Ling Xiao hesitated suddenly, he could feel the emotion of the steward, he didn't say anything false.

"Little brother, if you say something you don't like to hear, why do you have to go to the dark realm? Now it is also the season of sea beasts making waves, and going to the dark country can be said to be a dead end, in this case, it is better to wait for a while, and when we contact the dark country, it is not too late to pass. ”

By the time you get in touch with the dark realm, the daylilies are cold... Ling Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, since this matter was related to the secrets of the Dark Realm, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"It's really because I have a reason why I have to go to the dark realm, so I hope Mr. Steward can make it easier." Ling Xiao bowed to the steward.

If someone else came to borrow a boat, I am afraid that the steward would directly refuse, but Ling Xiao was different from others, it was the first time he had seen such a young dark magician.

Being able to be the steward of a castle, his eyesight and mind are naturally extraordinary, and he understands that a talented young powerhouse like Ling Xiao must not be offended even if he can't make friends.

"It's... It's not that I'm not willing to be accommodating, it's that the ships that go to sea are also ...... to me at Concedubour."

Although he didn't want to offend Ling Xiao, the steward was still stubborn and ready to refuse Ling Xiao, however, before he finished his words, a long voice suddenly pierced out from the deepest part of the ancient castle.

"It's not impossible to borrow the ship of my castle, it depends on what price you are willing to pay, and whether this price can impress me."
