Chapter 17: The Uninvited Guest
The ribbon-cutting of the lantern festival is about to begin.
A peaceful atmosphere.
The Canglan Lake is reflected with various colors of light, accompanied by the moonlight, showing a sense of holiness.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Song Yixiu's face became a little deeper.
In fact, he had guessed before that someone might take advantage of the Lantern Festival to make some mess today, but he didn't expect so many uninvited guests to come at once.
Although those people pretended to be civilians, they were all new faces, and they should have only recently entered the city, so Song Yixiu couldn't notice it a few days ago.
Moreover, now that so many magicians and great magicians suddenly appeared, the background of Canglan City was too thin, and Song Yixiu really couldn't find any good helpers in a short period of time!!
Although Song Yixiu has no problem protecting himself.
But if they want to make some mess in the city, Song Yixiu is really not easy to stop!!
"Lord of the Castle? I'm about to go up and speak. ”
Looking at the pensive Song Yixiu, Tang Yinqi opened his mouth to remind.
Song Yixiu nodded.
Now he doesn't know what the purpose of these mages is, so he can only take one step at a time.
"Well, right away."
"Whatever happens today, don't get too far away from me."
Song Yixiu continued to add.
"By the way, go talk to President Wu, and ask him to inform the mages in the Mage Guild, and if there is an accident, go in the direction of the Mage Guild as much as possible."
......
The ribbon-cutting process went smoothly.
Civilians cheered all the way.
Followed by the launch of various programs, as well as the exclusive activities of the lantern festival launched by various shops, there were cheers and laughter everywhere in the whole Canglan City.
Canglan City is peaceful.
The moonlight hanging in the sky is gentle.
But under this calm, Song Yixiu's mood became deeper and deeper.
He was almost sure that this group of people was with the red-robed mage!!
Time passed little by little, and the group of mages still did not move.
Song Yixiu accompanied the two girls to walk around the lantern festival, and after getting in close contact with a few people, he found that this group of people seemed to have a common characteristic, that is, their skin was very fair, and they would use any decorations to cover their heads and faces.
"The camouflage technique is also too poor." Song Yixiu secretly complained in his heart.
When Song Yixiu approached with the two girls, the disguised people would pay attention to them.
Although Song Yixiu, the city lord, has his own aura, their kind of scrutiny is obviously different from ordinary people, and they don't know if they are arrogant or they don't hide it at all, they always have the meaning of hunting.
Through Song Yixiu's judgment and intuition, the target of these people should be Gu Linghuan.
When they passed by, most of their attention was on Gu Linghuan, and they only occasionally looked at themselves.
Song Yixiu glanced at the two girls, but Gu Linghuan didn't notice anything abnormal, she still looked innocent, talking and laughing with Tang Yinqi.
Finally, when Song Yixiu followed the two girls to the edge of Canglan Lake.
This group of mages has moved!
"Let's go around the island in the middle of the lake." Song Yixiu opened his mouth and proposed.
Although there is not a lot of people in this place, if there is a fight, it will definitely affect many civilians.
After all, after being the city lord for so many years, it is impossible to say that Song Yixiu has no feelings for this city.
There is no need for this kind of thing to affect civilians and cause meaningless casualties.
......
Canglan Lake is the largest lake in Canglan City.
It is even said that according to some records, the entire Canglan City was originally built by the lake.
The island in the middle of the lake is not large, and is connected by two long wooden bridges.
Because the lantern festival is coming to an end, the flow of people is much less than before, and because of the arrival of the cold season, the lake has begun to feel a little cold.
The two girls didn't notice anything abnormal, they were still watching the scenery, and Song Yixiu was also waiting quietly, he wanted to see what tricks this group of people wanted to do.
If they spread out and go around the city to make trouble, it might be a headache.
But now that they are obediently gathered together, Song Yixiu is not so troubled, and even vaguely excited.
The opposite side is hunting.
Song Yixiu is not hunting?
Two Great Magicians, four High-level Magicians, and at least hundreds of points in the Polar Shadow Organization's point evaluation!
Although he knew that they should have come for Gu Linghuan.
But everyone who came was a guest, and Song Yixiu didn't have to be polite to them.
Song Yixiu looked at the group of people surrounding with interest, and just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect that a great magician led by him took the initiative to step forward first.
"City Lord Song, excuse me."
"We are from Tianhuang Mansion in Beizhou, and now we need to take Miss home."
The air suddenly fell silent.
Tang Yinqi and Gu Linghuan behind Song Yixiu were stunned, because their strength was slightly lower, they didn't even notice that there were so many people around them suddenly.
"People from the Heavenly Phoenix Mansion?"
The corners of Song Yixiu's mouth grinned, he didn't expect the other side to be so direct.
"Any evidence?" Song Yixiu asked.
Although he also guessed that the other side was because of Gu Linghuan, it was very likely that it was someone from Tianhuang Mansion.
But there are too many doubts about this matter.
If Song Yixiu didn't have the intelligence of the Polar Shadow Organization, if Song Yixiu hadn't noticed the hunting fun on the other side, maybe he would really believe the words of the other side.
But now, all kinds of signs are added together, and Song Yixiu is more of a suspicion!
"Can the people of the Heavenly Phoenix Mansion sneak attack the dean of my Canglan City Magic Academy at will? And with such a heavy hand. ”
"And since you are from Tianhuang Mansion, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for someone in the open, why do you want to be so mysterious." Song Yixiu opened his mouth to question.
“.......”
The archmage on the other side paused:
"There is a misunderstanding here, and we will give you an explanation."
"This is the token of the Heavenly Phoenix Mansion, which should prove our identity."
Song Yixiu raised his brows slightly, raised his fingers slightly, and pointed to a formation rune in the distance.
"I don't know the token of the Heavenly Phoenix Mansion, who knows if it's real or fake."
"Besides, it's too much for you to set up a magic array in front of me."
This formation was just a hastily arranged hidden illusion formation, which was able to isolate the aura and scene of the island in the middle of the lake and the outside world, so Song Yixiu did not stop them.
Although I don't know what they have to see.
But Song Yixiu himself also has secrets that he doesn't want the outside world to know.
Sure enough, when Song Yixiu pointed out the location of the formation, several people on the opposite side fell silent again.
They were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Song Yixiu to have an understanding of the formation.
In their intelligence, Song Yixiu was just a native mage of Canglan City, who had never even been out of the distant gate, and at best his magic talent was relatively high.
