Chapter 63: The Palace
An old lady walked out of the palace.
She was dressed in a luxurious garment, but her complexion was very bad.
In addition to the wrinkles on the dejected face, two tear stains can be faintly seen.
She saw that Alan and the two were dressed mysteriously, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy.
"You ...... It must be a magician, right?"
She walked over.
"Ignore her. ”
Mia said a word to Alan, ignored the old lady, and walked towards the palace.
Alan also wanted to leave, but the old lady was already in front of him.
Out of politeness, Alan asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"My cat lost ......"
Sure enough, it's such a trivial thing.
Alan didn't have time to delay, he was about to get past the old lady, but suddenly he saw a golden light.
The old lady held a gold coin in her hand.
She slipped the coin into Alan's hand and gave him an address.
"Come to me when you're free. ”
Alan looked down at the gold coin in his hand, and then at the back of the old lady leaving, a little confused.
Are all the people in the city so rich?
Putting the gold in his bosom and the one given to him by Earl Scott, Alan walked towards the palace.
Ordinary people need to struggle for a lifetime of wealth, and he got it just by looking at him.
But I'm not short of money.
The moment he walked into the palace, Alan didn't think he was a money fan.
In the middle of the palace, there is a huge stove.
The flames inside the furnace were so strong that even at the entrance of the palace, Alan could still feel the heat inside.
The flame was scarlet, thick as blood.
Beside the fire, stood a cloaked figure.
He was hunched back, and gray-white hair was exposed under the hood that covered his face.
She reached into the furnace and pulled a scroll out of it.
Next to it are rows of reel racks, but most of them are empty.
Mia was standing in front of her, not sure what she was thinking.
"Magician, I heard Mia say you're from out of town?"
Tiffany put the scroll in her hand on the scroll rack on the side, looked at Alan who walked through the palace gate, and asked in a deep voice.
Alan answered.
"And what about your identification?"
Hearing this, Alan suddenly became a little nervous.
Frante hadn't mentioned it to him.
"Frank, what's the identification?"
"You can just say you don't know what it is. ”
Alan pressed the tension in his heart, "What's that?" ”
Hearing Alan's words, Tiffany let out a dry laugh.
"Hehe, let's make a reprint. ”
She stood by the fire and made a gesture of please.
"Put your hand into the fire of Apharon, and it will recognize you. ”
Cold sweat ran down Alan's forehead.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Mia.
Mia didn't look at him, but she held the hilt of a sword tightly in her right hand.
It was a sacrifice!
Is this a trap?
Alan was a bit of a hard time riding a tiger.
If they put their hands into the fire of Naafallon, who knows if they will recognize themselves as the Travelers, and the still alive Frant in their right arm.
But what if they can't be recognized?
Alan didn't want to live in the shadows.
He prefers to have an official identity and be able to accept the commission to hunt monsters.
Alan decided to take a gamble.
Seeing that Eren only hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the huge stove, Mia's brow, which had been tense, couldn't help but relax a little.
But her hand never left the hilt.
As long as Eren dared to make any abnormal moves, she dared to inject magic power into the hilt of her sword and kill Eren on the spot.
Alan could certainly see what Mia was going to do, and he was ready for it.
As soon as things don't go well, he immediately pulls out the broken sword that the three-headed dog dropped.
The sacrifice dropped by the three-star monster will not be worse than the hilt of the sword in Mia's hand.
Alan's footsteps stopped.
He stood in front of the fire, and a wave of heat hit him.
But he didn't feel the heat.
Instead, there is only warmth.
Alan slowly reached into the furnace with his right hand.
He only felt the warmth of his whole body, as if he had entered another world.
The scarlet flames still flickered.
Nothing unusual happened.
After a few more seconds, a sigh suddenly came from Alan's side.
"Mia, don't worry. ”
"He's not wanted. ”
Tiffany walked over to Ellen and patted him on the shoulder.
Alan suddenly withdrew from that strange state.
Wanted?
Alan was a little confused for a moment.
He turned his head, and although he couldn't see Mia's expression, he could feel that Mia's body was visibly much more relaxed than it had just been.
"Young people, many people forget who they are and where they came from after sacrificing monsters, because they are mixed with the memories of monsters, so you don't need to worry too much. ”
Alan seemed to understand why Mia and the others were doing all this.
All along, he didn't act like a magician in front of Mia, but like an ordinary person who didn't understand anything.
They thought that Eren had lost his memories because of the cost of sacrificing monsters.
He came here as if to test whether he was a wanted criminal.
While Alan was thinking, Tiffany walked up to him and shoved a piece into his hand.
"Since you're here, you'll be a magician in Boulder City from now on. ”
Listening to Tiffany's words, Alan looked down at the object.
It was a stone pendant with a boulder city carved on it, and a mysterious pattern next to it.
"It's a special offering. ”
"It doesn't need to be in an offering bag, and its vitality won't be lost. ”
"As long as you transfer the mana inside, you can communicate with people nearby who have the same sacrifice, and there is no problem with covering Boulder City. ”
Alan wore the pendant around his neck.
He vaguely remembered that Mia seemed to have one of these pendants as well.
So now, he's from Boulder?
"This is a two-star commission around. ”
Tiffany took two scrolls from the reel rack next to her and placed them on the table.
Alan sat down next to Mia and looked at the two scrolls.
"One of the locations is in the western village of Haisong. ”
"The other one is in the southern part of Boulder. ”
With Tiffany's voice, the two positions are shown separately on the reels.
"How is the star rating of the commission determined?"
Alan looked at the points of light displayed on the scroll and couldn't help but ask Frante in his heart.
If it's tracking monsters, then the monsters have all appeared in Boulder City, why does it still look harmonious and stable on the surface?
"It's judged by the concentration of mana in the target area. ”
"If the concentration of magic in a place is too high, then there is a good chance that someone in that place will not resist the temptation and fall into monsters. ”
"The strength of a monster is usually calculated by the physical fitness of the monster itself and the concentration of magic power around it. ”
"If it's a magician who gets out of control, even if it's the lowest-level one-star magician, it's bound to become a two-star or higher-level monster. ”
"But if it's just an ordinary person, then the chances of it degenerating into a high-star monster are very low. ”
While Frant was explaining, Mia had already decided.
