After three months, the 'Qianyuan Highway' from the west coast to the Aoro Plain across the marshes was finally completed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a big day for Ossing, and the connection of this road almost directly changed the pattern of the West Coast, and the trade route between the West Coast and the Great Plains could be restored to the level of the Imperial Era, at least much better than the previous one. No more risking goblin bandits and wild beasts of the great mountains in the wastelands of the north, or a month or two of detours in the territory of the Southern Legion. As the closest big city after this new access road, Ossing City is itself the largest deep-water port on the West Coast, and has become the most direct beneficiary, and it is almost certain that it will become the largest city on the West Coast in the foreseeable future. The inhabitants of Ossing are excited about this, and spontaneous small celebrations are everywhere. The large-scale celebration organized by the Council of Mages and the Temple was a lively scene not seen in decades.

The main character of the celebration is, of course, the envoy group who built this road, a specially modified large carriage drove out of the camp of the envoys, carrying several leading figures led by the envoy Li Wenmin, passing through the city of Oss, followed by the soldiers and sailors of the envoy group, and receiving the cheers of the residents along the way.

"Who came up with this idea? It's like a champion parade through the streets. It suited the appetite of those adults, and looking at their appearance, they were glorious and energetic, and they were really more than ten years younger. Do they really think that they can't build this road? Do they sweat more than half a drop and put a little thought into it?"

In the back line, Mu Qinyi had a gloomy face, and being pulled to participate in such a parade and celebration made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and her face, which had never recovered from her injury, looked even more ugly.

"It seems to have been organized by the Mage Council...... It seems that they really figured out the preferences of these adults. You don't need to care about Miss Mu, just take it as a place to see the excitement and relax. After meditating and recuperating these days, it's time to come out and move your muscles and bones. Feng Yinqiu was unimpressed on the side, and replied casually. He really thought he had gone for a walk, and after all these days of hard work, he had finally learned the last few of the four rings of arcane magic he could collect, and this was the first time he had gone out and walked.

"Please don't talk to each other in Western. Although I knew just by looking at Mu's expression that she was cursing those bureaucrats. Next to her, the female mage Motri looked around and seemed to be in a good mood. "The road is finally complete, and we are not far from Oroyosta. Mu you don't have to complain, as long as you can go back to the Arcane Academy and go to the library to check carefully, there is a good hope that you can find information about the Water Element Temple. Moreover, several of the professors in the academy are archmages from the Imperial era, and they are very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which should help you mentally and spiritually wounded. ”

"Okay, okay, that's the only good news. Mu Qinyi nodded, his face looked a little better. After that failed tracking, she was able to return to Oss City in a groggy state, which was already a good luck. But in the fight with the woman in black, the forced elementalization made her already incomplete injuries even more serious, and even after about two months of recuperation, it didn't get much better.

“...... About this, Miss Mu, don't blame me for the crow's mouth. This departure to Oroyosta may not be possible in a short period of time. Feng Yinqiu said suddenly.

"Why?" the two women were surprised together.

“...... You can see if you look at this celebration parade now. ”

The female mage and Mu Qinyi looked carefully left and right together, only to see that it was a lively and prosperous area, the citizens on the side of the street were enthusiastic, several adults in the carriage in front were full of ambition and satisfaction, and the soldiers and sailors in the envoy group were also high morale. But I don't really see anything strange about it. The two of them once again returned their questioning eyes to Feng Yinqiu's body.

"This time the road to the Great Plains has been opened, and Ossin City is just around the corner to become the most prosperous city on the West Coast, but until now, the next manager of Ossin City has not been chosen. Needless to say, every family that is qualified to compete for this position is spending every ounce of effort in the secret and desperately fighting, and a ten-year tenure is enough to completely change a family's position on the West Coast. ”

"You mean they will find a way to win over the envoys of the Qian Empire?" The female mage was keenly aware of Feng Yinqiu's meaning, and immediately shook her head. "But this is only an internal matter within the West Coast Mage Council, right? Even the local temples and churches will not interfere, and your envoys will not have any say. ”

"I don't know exactly what's going on, I've been studying the arcane all these days, and I don't know much what's going on in the legations. Feng Yinqiu walked along with the team, and looked around gracefully, it was really like coming out for a walk. "But I know very well that these mage nobles would never waste so much effort to make such a celebration to curry favor with someone who has no effect on them. ”

“...... It seems to make sense. The mage Motri nodded in amazement.

“...... Whatever, I don't care anyway, no matter what those adults say, I can't worry about it like this..."Mu Qinyi spread his hands and yawned weakly.

"Mr. Wind, I can see you. Are you willing to come out and see the sky after all?" Liu Xuanying didn't know where he came from, obviously surrounded by an impenetrable crowd, but he walked to Feng Yinqiu's side effortlessly, and the people he passed by didn't seem to notice him much.

"Ah, Daochang Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Feng Yinqiu hugged Liu Xuanying's fist.

"It's been a long time...... I heard that Mr. Feng is dedicated to the study of European arcane arts, so he must have entered the territory for a long time, right?"

"It's just a small trick. But what is Daochang Liu busy with these days?"

"What else? Basically, I was in the camp guarding the gifts in return, and with General Chen, I beware of the younger ones coming to steal them or disadvantage a few adults. Occasionally spar with the dwarven leader Jin Shi. Then the leader of Jinshi brought the Zhang family to translate, is it Mr. Feng, don't you want to explain to him again?"

"Not really. It's because the dwarf didn't bother me himself, so he should be busy building roads, right?"

"Also, the golden stone dwarf has only come to learn from me a few times in the past two months, and each time he has come and gone in a hurry, asking for some practical moves, and then asking for any more inheritance of the mind or anything like that. Speaking of this, Liu Xuanying lowered his voice slightly. "Is there any news of the Sword of Mercy these days?"

"Nope. Feng Yinqiu shook his head. "I don't leave the house these days, and I don't know the outside world. The Temple of Sunlight and the acquaintances of the Guardian Hand all escorted the fragment to the south......"

"Aren't you worried, Mr. Wind?"

"What's the use of worrying?" Feng Yinqiu shook his head indifferently. "I also believe that he will not be easily controlled...... Besides, even if he was captured by the people in the temple, he would be sent to the elf's forest, if he really had nothing to do with those otherworldly demon gods, wouldn't that be right?"

"Alas, this is also incomprehensible. The original will of the Sword of Benevolence was indeed deviated, but judging from the fact that he saved Mu Daoyou, he was indeed not an evil and ruthless person. In this European Shinto, there must be some variables in the operation of heaven and earth that are beyond our comprehension...... However, those people in the temple are conclusive, and they will not let go of the reason for death, which really makes us not know what to do. Liu Xuanying couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "Speaking of which, he is also my Shenzhou lineage after all, if we can confirm that he is not possessed by gods and demons, if we have a chance in the future, we should also help him no matter what...... It's just that why did he refuse to go to the Moonlight Forest? Is it just because of the arrogance of the martial artist? It is also said that it is indeed a ......little reluctant to ask for an innate martial artist who enters from the outside and punches out his own realm with one punch just because of the oracle of the alien race."

The wind is also silent. Mu Qinyi dragged his seriously injured body back that day, and told him what he had seen and heard all the way to the past, which really made Feng Yinqiu and Liu Xuanying stunned each other, and they were speechless for a while. In the end, the two discussed, and there was no need to tell the temple church about this. Regardless of whether the Sword of Benevolence is possessed by those otherworldly demon gods, whether he wants to join forces with those who are suspected of being the Southern Legion and call themselves the Arcane Revival Society, anyway, now that he is alone, he will also pass the word back to ignore him, and now it is really good to let it be natural.

After greeting the wind and autumn, Liu Xuanying turned to Mu Qinyi next to him and said, "That's right, Fairy Mu." Before, Master Li asked people to come to you and the mage girl, saying that they would allow you to travel with them in the big car, and let you explain the reason for this grand ceremony to the girl who was born in the country of Europe along the way, all because of my great work in the teachings of the Great Qianli Sect......"

"You don't see me, Daoist Liu. Mu Qinyi waved his hand weakly, his voice was weak and delicate, his posture was shaky and weak, and his face was as pale as paper, as if he was really going to fall down at any time. "You also know that I am injured, and it is already a little powerless to be dragged out for a walk by them, and you really want me to get into that carriage, maybe I will fall down at any time and die......"

"You must know that the sour smell of those adults is just on it, and now there is actually a dwarf barbarian's earthy smell, it is not easy for me to stand here......" Looking at the short figure standing in the corner of the carriage, Mu Qinyi did not hide his disgusting expression.

"Hehe, Poor Dao is just talking casually, and I know that it is not a good errand to stand on that car...... If you let the poor road go to the poor road, you don't want to... And in the eyes of the two adults, Poor Dao is not that qualified. Liu Xuanying's eyes also fell on the short figure, and he shook his head with a wry smile. Now that dwarf is not just a leader of an alien barbarian, because of the credit for building the road, or the credit for making several adults have a great face, Lord Li Wenmin specially sealed the title of 'Lingtianwei Loyal and Resolute Warrior', and he is also a person with status, so he can get a place in the corner of the carriage. Now he wore the helmet of a Shenzhou military general who seemed to be General Chen, hiding his bald head and most of his face underneath, and stood in the corner like an ornament without saying a word.

"What is the reaction of the old man of the Zhang family to knowing that the Sword of Benevolence is wanted by the temple?" Feng Yinqiu looked at the old man of the Zhang family who was standing beside Lord Li, who had made great contributions to the former dynasty clan and the envoy group today, and was still a decisive figure, and now he was also in the car with a smile on his face to accept the cheers of the people around him. In order to maintain the family foundation Shenzhou bloodline, this old man has been thinking about it all his life in the exotic continent that has been oppressed and excluded, and at this time he finally got the opportunity to take his clan to raise his eyebrows, and he was definitely happy and excited in his heart, but how many other thoughts were hidden below, no one knows.

"It's not clear. I heard that some young people of the Zhang family were quite shocked, after all, that invincible Mr. had led many of them for a while, and he was quite popular...... But the Zhang family stated on the surface that they had made a clear cut with the wanted sword of benevolence......"

“...... Then in the handicraft guild in Osstar City, there was a guild leader position for the Zhang family to take over. Mu Qinyi, who was on the side, added leisurely. "And the Zhang family's chamber of commerce has also been approved by the Mage Council, allowing them to enjoy exactly the same power as the chamber of commerce of other Euros, these two things have never been precedent, I heard that there are still many Euros who are making noise, and finally it was calmed down under the pacification of the temple......"

Feng Yinqiu nodded: "That old man of the Zhang family is indeed a good hand in pragmatic trade-offs. Later, whether the envoys should step on the left foot or the right foot is up to him. I'm an idle cloud wild crane who doesn't care about this, and just leaves...... But has Daoist Liu ever gone to talk to him carefully and let him understand the importance of everything?"

"What to do, what should have a limit, I believe this old man should know in his heart. With him in practice, he is also happy and leisurely. Liu Xuanying still looked unimpressed. "And after all, he is seeking the well-being of the Shenzhou ethnic group, and there is no difference in this point. The distinction between great cadres and great righteousness is a vague and important matter in the eyes of those adults, but it is meaningless in the eyes of poor people......"

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?" the female mage next to her, who had been unable to understand all along, was a little unhappy.

Mu Qinyi casually explained: "They are saying that the Zhang family used their statement of the sword of benevolence to exchange benefits for the temple and the mages, but it is just some boring things. ”

"That's right. That Sword of Benevolence, that guy doesn't know what's going on now?

"Mr. Liu didn't know, he was still talking to Mr. Feng about this just now. Mu Qinyi also sighed. "That guy is crazy, but he's not really a bad guy. I don't know if I'm being caught by the Hand of Guardian and the Temple of Sunlight now. ”

“... I was wanted by the temple co-brand, and I have never been in such a situation in my memory. What a pathetic fellow. The female mage also sighed. "Maybe I'm hiding in some tree hole or crypt right now, eating bugs and frogs or something, and if I have the chance to meet him, and he will beg for mercy, I will do my best to help him deal with those ...... sticks."

"Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence, the feast is ready, and the Marquis is waiting for you. ”

A handmaid in a pure white robe stood in the far doorway, with a smile on her face that looked no more than a decade old, and looked at the burly Western man standing in the middle of the hall with some curiosity.

The Western man, dressed in a luxurious aristocratic costume, was standing there in a strange posture, as if he was preparing to fight desperately with an invisible person, and as if he was guarding against the enemies that might appear at any time in the void, but his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be falling into deep meditation. Around his body, a small cloud of bright flame and a small cloud of cold mist were swirling around him, making him look more like a mysterious statue.

With a sigh, the Sword of Benevolence slowly opened its eyes, put away its fist, and let out a long breath, the long breath echoing in the underground hall, as if a dragon was breathing. With a move of both hands, the two fist-sized balls of flame and mist obediently flew into his hands, and then dissipated with a squeeze of both palms. Striding to the door, he frowned slightly thoughtfully all the way, as if he was thinking about something.

"May I ask what you were doing?" the maid asked suddenly. "Is it a religious ritual in the West, which seems mysterious?"

"Of course not, don't you know that we Westerners are unbelievers? The sword of benevolence grinned.

"What's that? Then why did you do that?" the maid's big eyes flickered, like a child seeing a novelty toy.

The Sword of Benevolence puffed up his chest and made a very powerful appearance and said, "It is a unique exercise method in our great culture, which can summon the mysterious energy of the universe and beat all those enemies that do not please the eye to the flesh. ”

"But the fire elemental and the water elemental were clearly formed by arcane, right? I can't tell how many rings of arcane it is, but it's definitely arcane. ”

"Oh?" this time it was the Sword of Benevolence's turn to be surprised. "Can you tell it's arcane? Does even an ordinary maid in Marquis Arroyo's mansion have such eyesight? The nobles on the West Coast where I stayed before would have shed tears. ”

"Of course, the Marquis sometimes teaches us something about the arcane. The maid winked mischievously. "Also, I'm no ordinary maid. ”

"Is there anything peculiar and extraordinary that can be honestly shown to me, a hillbilly Westerner, to open my eyes?"

"When you have the chance, the Marquis is still waiting for you. It's funny what a joke you talk about. The maid smiled, turned and walked forward.

"Hehe, what a funny girl. The Sword of Benevolence walked behind, looking at the back of the maid in front of him and grinning. The seemingly conservative robe was trimmed in a chic way, not only completely outlining the curvaceous waist curves, but also with gaps on the sides of the legs and shoulders below, and the white and tender skin and limbs swaying underneath were faintly visible when walking and swinging, but it was more attractive than showing it naked. The swing of the waist and hips between the walking of this maid is also very charming, swaying slightly like a willow in the wind, and like a flower in the rain, so that people watching from behind can't help but be dazzled. "That's a lot of fun. ”

The Sword of Benevolence, led by the maid, also took twenty minutes to pass through the small half of the Marquis's mansion. It can be seen that this extremely magnificent mansion has not been affected by the wars of decades ago, and has preserved the extremely extravagant and extravagant style of the noble mages of the imperial era, full of decorations, sculptures, gardens and amusement facilities, of course, due to the lack of sufficient elemental gems and the operation of the arcane mages, many facilities have been idle for many years, and occasional cleaning can only remove the dust from it, but it cannot regain vitality and vitality. The scarcity of servants and maids compared to this huge mansion also made this empire-era mansion seem a little deserted.

However, there is also something remarkable, that is, every servant, maid and even the guard who walks in it is young, beautiful as a flower, and has an outstanding appearance, and even some of the servants who are responsible for sweeping the floor and taking out the garbage and other rough and dirty work are also dignified, at least with good facial features, and they must be at least one in a hundred among the poor people who are running around and working for a livelihood outside.

Of course, this feature is purely due to the owner's own hobby. The Marquis of Arroyo was also well-known in aristocratic circles for his pickiness and pursuit of appearance, or 'beauty'.

The feast was held in a very delicately decorated flower hall, and more than a dozen beautiful maids smiled sweeter and more beautifully than the flowers around them, and exuded an aura of youth and vitality that would have made any man in the middle of it delirious. The Marquis Arroyo, who looked to be in his early thirties, sat in the center, smiled and opened his hands to the sword of benevolence as he approached, and said, "Welcome, Honorable Guest, your presence fills me with sunshine and warmth. Allow me to introduce you to these beautiful maidens, and I hope that you will be satisfied with this special and exquisite feast. I've heard that Western culture has a very broad mind in its eating habits, so I've deliberately used some ingredients that ordinary people can't accept, so you'll like it, right?"

Glancing at the steaming organs on the dinner plate on the table, the Sword of Benevolence couldn't help but look up and laugh, "It's just the brains, internal organs, and genitals of some animals." Absorbing cosmic energy from these organs and internal organs increases one's own combat effectiveness, but we have inherited a long-standing culture that has been passed down for 50,000 years. ”
