Chapter 205: Upheaval
At the gate of the Arcane Academy, Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence looked at a large group of students coming from afar, at least hundreds of them, led by Zhang Jinli, followed by Miss Ulysses's fanatical supporters. It can be said that if it weren't for Zhang Jinli's true identity now revealing the Shenzhou ethnicity, the size of this supporter team would have expanded at least several times.
After saying goodbye to the reluctant students, Zhang Jinli walked out of the gate of the academy, and Feng Yinqiu and the two didn't say much, and directly used the giant hand of the force field to carry the three of them and flew out of the city.
Just after flying, Zhang Yanli asked, "Hmm... Although I am very grateful to Uncle Feng for waiting for me, why don't we go back with Xiaowen?"
"What are you going to do with him back? No one wants to plot against him. Could it be that you have found a lot of masculine classmates in this academy?" replied the Sword of Benevolence a little angrily. "Isn't he interested in studying here now? Now that you've paved the way for him, let him play freely in it. β
Zhang Yili asked with some surprise: "Uncle Qiu, what's wrong with you, is there something that upsets you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't get any benefit from a calculating old man. The Sword of Benevolence shook his head. "Little Brother, you'd better not come to this Arcane Academy casually in the future. β
"Ahh
The Sword of Benevolence replied: "It's not really peaceful here, and you and Uncle Feng can't be guarding you at any time, although the Fernandez family seems to have come to show goodwill, but it's still difficult to say what kind of thoughts you have, and your identity is delicate, in the eyes of some people, maybe it's a strange thing to live in." If it weren't for the two of us today, the spy who came in to see you acting might have caused a lot of casualties. Anyway, if you want to come, you can come, you have to tell the two of you first, at least one of us will accompany you. β
Zhang Jinli wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he pouted: "Okay, I know." β
The envoys were now stationed outside the city, and they would soon arrive under the flight of the force field giants. However, before the three of them could be found, a person flew straight up from the ground envoy station and came directly to the three of them.
"My dear two friends, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you a little. "This person is an elegant man who looks to be in his thirties, dressed exquisitely and gracefully, and he is also as comfortable as a nimble bird with his flying skills, which is obviously not something that ordinary high-level mages can do.
"Ah, you're the oneβ" The Sword of Benevolence thought back slightly, and nodded abruptly. β... That Incre's dough mage. β
The man's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he exclaimed with some embarrassment: "I am Nema Gan Adler, Your Excellency the Sword of Mercy, and you are not so forgetful? We've only been apart for a few days!"
"Haha, don't worry, even if you can't remember the name, I will never forget it. You still owe us two Nine Ring Arcane Scrolls and two million Aojin!" The Sword of Benevolence laughed.
Feng Yinqiu still couldn't stand it, and explained next to him: "He's joking, you don't have to mind, Your Excellency Adler." β
"Ah, well, I know he's joking, but it really spoils my mood when I came to see two old friends. Adler shook his head and sighed. turned to look at Zhang Yili next to him and saluted. "This is Miss Ulysses, who is famous as Oroyosta, and it is very impressive to have the privilege of watching your play, but I can't help but wonder that you are still the younger of my two old friends, and I can't help but sigh at the wonder of the world and fate. β
"Well, don't mess around with fate or anything like that in front of the little girl. What are you doing here, are you here to pay back?" the Sword of Benevolence interrupted him a little unceremoniously.
"Can you not mention that? Do you think I'm going to pay the bill?" Adler couldn't help but roll his eyes, and replied, "Of course, I'm here to discuss the next welcome ceremony with your envoys as a representative of Inclave. β
"Oh, are you finally facing up to your relationship with our legacy?"
"It can't be helped. Adler shook his head helplessly. "Originally, the plan of the Duke and I was to keep a low profile as much as possible to ensure safety, but because you are making such a fuss now, the entire Oroyusta already knows that the Duke of Incle is coming, and they all know that Incre has asked for a large amount of supplies from the Western Empire, and they all know that Incre has managed to obtain this material by disgraceful means and intends to transport it away quietly....... Well, this is a very effective means, Robert is very annoyed, but he can't help it, after all, Incre also needs to pay attention to the influence of word of mouth and the public. So I'm going to talk to you about a way that is acceptable to everyone. β
"That's the best way to go. Feng Yinqiu nodded. It seems that although Old Man Zhang's method is a bit adaptable, it really works.
"And then there's the grand invitation to Miss Ulysses to perform in our Incre. Miss Ulysses' singing and dancing illusion crystals are also very popular in Inclave, and if you go in person, it will definitely cause an unprecedented sensation. And we have a lot of Western ethnicity in Clay, so I'm sure they'll be proud of you. After a moment's hesitation, Adler asked again. "I heard .......that Miss Ulysses knew the great poet West, may I ask you?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Jinli was noncommittal.
"It's no secret that the plays you sing are all by West. We are also trying to find a way to contact the great poet, but he has done a very good job of secrecy, so I would like to ask Miss Ulysses to tell us his contact details and real identity, and we will invite him to Inclave with 120,000 good faith. β
Zhang Yanli nodded: "I'll tell him, if he's interested, let's talk about it." β
"Well, then please forgive my faux pas. Next, can I ask the Sword of Benevolence and Chief of Staff of the Wind to talk about it separately?"
"Then ask Miss Yuri to go back first. "Feng Yinqiu applied a low-ring arcane 'Feather Fall Technique' that increases air resistance on Zhang Jinli's body, and Zhang Jinli gave a salute to the three of them, and then jumped off the force field giant hand with his hand on the long skirt, and the whole person slowly fell from the sky like an impatiens.
In this way, there were only three of them left in the sky, Feng Yinqiu looked around, and motioned to Adler: "Then we are here too, and we don't need to go down, how about it?"
"Of course. Adler coughed, a little unnatural, and he reached out and clicked a few times in the air around him, as if using arcane magic to prevent detection, before he continued: "I think you two should know what I'm going to say." β
The Sword of Benevolence smiled: "Of course, it's like peeking at a girl taking a bath, so it's like peeking at a girl taking a shower, so naturally it has something to do with that orc's bloodline contract, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Adler let out a long sigh of relief. This thing is not only a pair of shackles that he can't break free, but also a great shame, but he can only endure it like this. "I wonder if you two know, where is that druidfield?"
Feng Yinqiu made a helpless expression: "I saw him with the Fernandez family before, didn't you pay attention to it yourself?"
"Yes, I saw it in the theater before, but then that Julia Fernandez disappeared from Oroyosta with him, and seemed to take him back to the True Red Collar. This is not our Incre's territory, and because of the incident of Your Excellency Minsk some time ago, our intelligence network has been greatly damaged, and it is not easy to spy on the affairs of Fernandez's house at will, so as not to cause misunderstandings......"
"Isn't that kid's whereabouts unknown to you, isn't it good for you? It's better that he dies quietly somewhere...... For example, Julia Fernandez's belly, haha, then you will be much more relaxed. β
β....... My bloodline contract is still in his hands. If he does die, I'm in big trouble. Adler looked like he was constipated, an expression that was out of step with the mild-mannered demeanor he had shown in front of Zhang, more like a desperate peddler talking about a contract that was about to expire this afternoon.
"What does that mean?"
β...... This means that if he dies somewhere, the contract on my body will begin to catalyze rapidly, and the urge to complete the contract will be extremely strong, just like those who are deeply addicted to psychedelic alchemy, all their thoughts will be spent on how to complete that contract, and if the contract cannot be completed, I may even lose my mind and go completely crazy in the end......"
"Haha, it sounds like this bloodline contract is really a good way to deal with those who are on the wrong foot......" The Sword of Benevolence couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he and Feng Yinqiu had heard him talk about the detailed effects of this bloodline contract, and Adler had kept silent about it before, and they didn't ask much, thinking that it was just triggering some spell effect like the sequence in the arcane. "Aren't you guys at a very high level of arcane art, can't even be a savage orc's bloodline magic?"
Adler shook his head, with a look of lovelessness: "Don't underestimate the divine arts, in essence, the level of divine arts is actually higher than the arcane arts, but the orc chief used the form of the altar of destruction to take the remnants of the divine power of the beast god to carry out this contract." Even in the Age of Empires, it was not easy to break such a contract. The divine power of the beast god has a very high affinity for humans, because from the biological realm, humans are actually a kind of beasts, and this contract is directly imprinted into the deepest part of my bloodline, and if you want to clear it, you must at least use the large sequence in the floating city back then....... Of course, completely abandoning this body is also a solution, but it also requires at least ten rings of arcane art, and the risk of transforming a spirit body is so great that it is almost no different from looking for death......."
"Looks like we're really going to have to do you a favor. The Sword of Benevolence scratched its head. "Otherwise, you're going to die or go crazy, and we're going to ....... to our debts."
"I really want you to lend a hand based on friendship. Adler shook his head angrily. "Actually, I wanted to find a chance to talk to you about this guy named Phil and those orcs....... But I really don't have a chance with that guy, a high-ranking cleric of the wind element has an essential understanding of the movement of any air current, and even the arcane can't block his hearing. Fortunately, now that he has gone to the True Red Collar, a distance of two thousand miles so that we can talk with confidence. I've wanted to talk to you two for a long time, and it's been very weird from start to finish......"
"It's a pity, you should at least choose a secret place, and mention some sensitive words at such a close distance in the windy sky, I don't think it's easy not to pay attention. β
Dozens of miles away from Oroyusta, in a suspended car flying at high speed, Phil Fernandez, the upstart of the True Red Family, suddenly tilted his head out of the window, looked at the clouds flying by outside and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, what are you talking about?"
Stephanie, who was sitting across from her and sipping a cup of black tea, asked. Although her posture was very virtuous and elegant, as if she was immersed in the deliciousness of this drink, in fact, all her attention was on the young blonde young man in front of her, like a cat stepping into a strange environment, and the slightest movement could arouse her alarm.
"Heh, I just accidentally heard a few friends talking about me, so I thought it was a little funny. Phil smiled. The sun was shining through the window on his blonde hair, as bright as his smile. And Stephanie's wariness doesn't seem to be able to hide from him, just like a child is just ridiculous and cute in front of adults, no matter how disguised it is. "Don't worry, Stephanie, don't you understand after all these days? β
β...... Yes, I'm pretty sure of that. Thank you very much, Mr. Phil, if it weren't for your help, I would have been a prisoner of the True Red Family, and needless to say, freedom, maybe even life is not guaranteed. Stephanie replied sincerely, but her perfect manners and posture still couldn't hide the defense behind her. "But I need to remind you once again that I am a faithful member of the Arcane Revival, the whole meaning of my life is dedicated to the great arcane, there is no other room, you are a very attractive man, both in appearance and bearing, I believe that I can capture the vast majority of women in this world, but I am ......."
"Alright, alright, relax, Stephanie. Phil waved his hand, his ease and relief in stark contrast to the nervousness of the female mage, one the owner basking in the afternoon sun in his own back garden, and the other a small beast accidentally intruding into an unfamiliar territory. "You don't have to worry about what I'm going to do to you, yes, you're very beautiful, and I like you very much, but this liking is not based on the love of a man and a woman. You see, the druid's vision is different from ordinary people, we like a flower, and we don't transplant it in a pot and put it in our house as our own personal belongings like you, we like the vitality of the flower trying to bloom in the cracks of the rocks, we like her efforts to stretch her leaves to fight for every ray of sunlight, even the aphids hidden in the cracks of her leaves, the bacteria and toxins lurking in the folds of her branches, because these are all an inseparable part of her life. β
Stephanie stared hard at the man in front of her, handsome, easy-going, charismatic, as dazzling as the sun, and like the sun that she couldn't see, she didn't know what kind of mentality to use to face it, and she couldn't even grasp the true meaning of these words.
"So, you can do whatever you want, I won't interfere with you, and if you have any difficulties and get stuck in Fernandez's house like last time, then I will also help you. β
"But....... I really don't know how to take your kindness......" Stephanie felt a little incoherent. "What do you get by helping me like this, and how can I repay you?"
"You don't need anything in return, you don't even need to be grateful. I just love it. Phil smiled faintly, like a kind gardener looking at his beloved flowers.
Stephanie stopped talking, raised the teacup in her hand, and disguised her confusion by drinking tea.
"Trite, thirty degrees north, let's go to the camp of the Western Empire envoys outside Oroyosta, I think I have three old friends to meet. Phil turned to the window.
"Yes. A clean, cold voice replied immediately. To fully drive this high-level flying car, it would take at least three high-level mages, and the elemental crystals consumed by flying directly from the Crimson Collar to Oroyusta were enough to make some minor nobles go bankrupt directly. But this is just the daily life of the upper echelons of the FernΓ‘ndez family, which is the essence of the big family.
β....... Western Imperial Mission?" It took a full ten seconds for Stephanie, who was immersed in her own thoughts, to react, and looked up at the young man opposite in amazement. "Where are ......we going? Are any friends there? Westerners?"
"Yes, three very interesting friends. I think I'll have to meet them. Phil looked at Stephanie with interest. "What's the matter? Do you have any special opinion about Westerners? I think you seem a little surprised and wary?"
"Doom...... I ......" Stephanie was speechless.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Phil seemed to notice something unusual, his brow furrowed, and his expression that had been relaxed and relieved became stunned, and then shocked, he turned abruptly and walked out of the carriage.
Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, and after she had settled down, she thought about it and walked out of the carriage anyway.
Outside the carriage is a bright sunshine, this floating car is a complete imitation of the imperial period of creation, large, luxurious, magnificent, just the platform outside the carriage is the size of a courtyard, and the carriage itself is a small villa. At the front of the platform were three high-ranking mages in the arcane circle, which were enough for some minor nobles to hold up the faΓ§ade, but now they were only the most basic personnel to run the floating car.
Through the arcane circle, only a gentle breeze blew in front of him, and white clouds swept around like huge marshmallows, and Oroyosta could already be faintly seen below. This is clearly an extremely beautiful picture, but Phil, who is standing in front of the platform, is full of doubts and horrors, and he looks at the beautiful scenery in front of him in a daze, as if he sees a precursor to the imminent collapse of the world.
"What's the matter, Your Excellency, is there any problem?" the mage who was manipulating the floating car saw his expression and hurriedly asked.
Phil shook his head and didn't speak, barely reluctantly retracting the doubt and shock on his face and turning it into a serious one. It seemed that only he could see this astonishing sight, and he had no intention of sharing it with anyone else, but just waved his hand, nodded forward, and said, "Hurry as fast as you can, I must go and see what they have done." β
