Chapter 64: The Underground Castle (I)

McCann explained: "The magic conference once every twelve years, usually held on Shenlong Island or the Alchemy Country, when the magic guilds of various countries will send representatives to participate, this conference is a magic exchange event, in addition to many magic guides to participate, will also be recommended by each guild to young magic apprentices, competition. ”

"Magic apprentice? Nicole and I have already obtained our magician's certificates, are we still apprentices to magic? Daniel asked.

"Of course, as long as you enter the Magic Guild to study in the period between the last conference and this conference, you can count it." McCann said.

"Isn't the Guild of Magic out of the jurisdiction of the nations? Why represent the country in participating? Can I represent Alasia too? Are you asking me to represent Arad or Her Majesty? "Higg said me.

"You represent the Magical Guild of Tilis! It has nothing to do with Arad and His Majesty Catherine, the Magic Guild is separate from the government, but in order to reflect the strength of the magic of each country, the team is finally divided by country and region, and the Magic Guild of Erathia will have a total of thirty magic apprentices this year. Of course, the number of places in each country is determined by the results of the previous magic apprentice competition, which reflects the overall strength level of the young generation of magic in each country. Higg said.

Daniel asked curiously, "Why is it held on Shenlong Island?" Shouldn't it be on Rainbow Island, a magical mecca? ”

"Originally, it was on Rainbow Island, but now it is usually on Shenlong Island or Alchemy Country. Since the magic rainbow disappeared thousands of years ago, the magical shrine of Rainbow Island has fallen into decline, and has lost its qualification to hold magic conventions. The Dragon Island, which has a magic vortex, and the Alchemy Country, which has a super magic library, both want to replace Rainbow Island as the leader of the Magic Guild and establish a new alliance of magic guilds. So for thousands of years, the magic guilds of these two countries competed with each other to hold magic conventions. This time, it is the turn of Shenlong Island. ”

"Magic Vortex? The Magic Library? Higg asked, "Which countries are participating in the magic guilds?" ”

"Rainbow Island, Shenlong Island, Alchemy Country, Erathia, Barbarian Country, Mizusawa Country, Forest Country seven countries, to be exact, eight teams, because the Forest Country has split into the existing Forest Country under the Elven King and the Forest Country under the Druid."

"But the three of us are magic apprentices on Rainbow Island, how can we represent the magic guild of Erathia?" Nicole asked.

"It doesn't matter, which magic guild participates on behalf of the magic apprentice himself." McCann said, "If you don't have an opinion, I'll coordinate it." Thomas, Pantony, and Butterfly Caiyun go to Shenlong Island as their entourage! ”

"Good! McCann, you go through the formalities. Higg said, "I have some experience with the nirvana technique of fire magic, although it can't save Sea for the time being, but it should be no problem if it can keep her going longer!" ”

"Phoenix Nirvana? Really, young marshal? McCann exclaimed, "This is simply wonderful! ”

……

Two months later, representatives of the magic apprentices of Alasia gathered in the small town of Leith, and made their way to Dragon Island through the portal here.

Magical apprentices who are eligible to participate in the magic conference are only through brutal campaigns, or the recommendation of the Great Magic Guild, in order to get such an opportunity. There are more than 30 magic apprentices gathered in the Delis Magic Guild, including Higg and others, all of whom are the elite magic apprentices of Alasia in the past twelve years, and most of them will become magic guides in the future, and they are the treasures of magic guilds everywhere, so every magic guild with apprentices will be led by magic guides and go to the magic conference together.

The leader of the magic guide sent by Tilis is not McCann, but the magic guide Otalan, the law enforcement elder of the Tilis Magic Guild, who is second only to McCann and Sayah in the Delis Magic Guild, and is also the general leader of the team participating in the Erathia Magic Guild this time.

Higg, Daniel, and Nicole, who had never been in contact with the other apprentices, were not treated well by the other apprentices as members of the convention, and even Ortalan was very dissatisfied that the three places were forcibly taken away by McCann. Higg didn't care, his main destination was the Sin Sinkhole, the Magic Convention was just a cover-up.

From the portal to the magic guild on Shenlong Island, there are still three days before the opening date of the magic conference, but most of the magic apprentices and magic guides will take advantage of this rare opportunity to enter the magic tower of Shenlong Island to learn and communicate, which is the privilege of the participants.

Shenlong Island is a huge volcanic island, the whole island is composed of many large volcanoes, and some volcanoes are still erupting, so that the island Shenlong Island has been shrouded in volcanic ash for a long time, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept the pungent sulfur gas in the air, but it is said that because there are many sulfur mines on the island, the black dragon clan, who like sulfur very much, built a large number of dragon's dens near the sulfur mines, and thrived on this island.

Such an environment has created a unique human habitation environment on the entire Shenlong Island - an underground city. The people of Shenlong Island have almost hollowed out the underground of Shenlong Island, except of course, where it is closer to the active volcano, and has built a unique underground castle here, although it is underground, but all the facilities of the city are readily available.

Naturally, all the magic guilds on Shenlong Island are also built underground. The magic conference is held by the magic guild of Moros City on Shenlong Island, Moros is the capital of Shenlong Island country, and the magic guild here is also the largest magic guild on Shenlong Island. The five-story demon's magic tower, it can be seen that the overall level of magic on Shenlong Island is indeed higher than that of Alasia.

Higg and the others were not in such a hurry to go to the Magic Tower to learn and communicate like the others, but found a tavern to drink and appreciate the customs and culture of the underground castle.

The tavern has always been a distribution center for heroes from all walks of life, with all kinds of people, a dazzling array of wines, and most importantly, conversations with high-drinking drinkers will expose a lot of hidden news, gossip news.

Higg and the others found the largest tavern in the city and walked in. I thought there wouldn't be too many people in the tavern at noon, but when I went in, I found that more than 20 tables were basically full. Higg tossed the tavern guy a bag of gold coins and quickly arranged a well-placed table, and Pantony soon couldn't wait to order a few jugs of wine and unceremoniously start drinking the cow.

There was a mess in the tavern, some of them talked loudly and chatted without any scruples, some of them guessed and played dice and gambled on wine, some of them wholeheartedly enjoyed the performances arranged in the tavern, and some of them hugged the wine girl left and right while drinking. On a table next to Higg and the others, there was only a drunken man, in his forties, whose most striking feature was a hideous scar on his face, and a sloppy beard that seemed to have not been shaved for a long time. The man had a good drink with Pantony, one sip at a time, and there were already four or five empty flasks on the table, but there was no drunkenness at all.

The scarred man's eyes always seemed to be peeking at Higg, intentionally or unintentionally, but when Higg turned his eyes, the man was pretending to be concentrating on drinking, which made Higg more vigilant.

Except for Pan Dongni, everyone else was slowly drinking wine, slowly tasting the snacks on the table, talking and laughing.

At this moment, five young men appeared next to Scarface, followed by a young woman, twenty years old, richly dressed and very handsome. One of the men said to Scarface, "One person occupies such a big table, and there is no place for the masters, please let me go, and the wine money will help you pay!" ”

Scarface ignored them, continued to peel the peanuts, threw the peeled peanuts into his mouth, and then took a sip of the wine glass and dried it, enjoying it so much that he didn't even look at the gang.

With a bang, the man slapped his palm on the table, shaking Scarface's glass full of wine, and the wine spilled on the table, and the man shouted, "Are you deaf?" I didn't hear you tell you to give up your seat! ”

All the people in the tavern looked this way, and the guy in the store was about to come up to persuade him, but was stopped by another man.

As if he hadn't heard, Scar Man dusted off the wine that had been splashed on his sleeve, and then still peeled his peanuts and drank his own wine.

"Where did such a short-sighted thing come from, dare to be so ...... in Moros City?" The woman in the back scolded angrily, and suddenly two peanuts flew out of the scar man and smashed into the mouth of the woman in the mouth, and the woman coughed several times before spitting out the peanuts. was caught off guard by the plot, spit out peanuts, and shouted to several men: "I'm so angry, don't you all have long eyes?" ”

The man, who was completely ignored by the scar man, shouted angrily, "Holy shit, in Moros City, there are still such unsightly people. Brothers, dismantle him! ”

After saying that, the word and the other four people also fought five to one without any scruples, and punched and kicked the scar man. I saw a moment of chaos, and several men who stepped forward all fell down with slumps, and the man with the scar didn't even stand up.

The tavern looked at the men who got up from the ground in surprise, and the five of them were put down by the scar man in a blink of an eye, and they didn't even see how the scar man made a move.

"You wait, don't go!" Several people crawled out of the tavern, and the young woman smiled awkwardly and went out.

The guy in the tavern hurriedly ran to the scar man, and said with a smile: "Brother, you should leave quickly, you can be annoyed, those few just now are the family members of General Monterand, and that young lady is someone in the general's family, our small shop can't afford to mess with it!" The boss said, I'll free you from drinking money, you hurry up, it's too late to come! ”

The scar man smiled coldly, took a sip of the wine, and said, "Can the general's family bully people like this?" Serve me two more jugs of wine! ”

After all, there were many people in the tavern who were afraid of things, but as soon as they heard that they were related to General Monterand, most of them stood up and left one after another. The guests in the tavern were busy paying their bills, but the people of Higg did not move, and they continued to eat and drink, ignoring them.

"You have to go right away!" The tavern guy said a little angrily, "I kindly advise you, you have to be a hero yourself, huh! ”

"Let your boss rest assured, I will definitely not bother your tavern!" Scar Man laughed.

"Humph! A Monteran, our boss may not be in the eyes! The guy said angrily, "But I don't want any customers to have an accident in our store!" ”

"Then stop talking nonsense and go to the bar!"

Higg and the others are not people who want to do a lot of things, after all, they are not familiar with the place here, so they can't make a fuss here, and they are about to get up to settle the bill, but there is a noise at the door.

"So fast?" The customers in the store who had not finished settling the bill were startled, only to see that the few housekeepers at the door had returned, and in addition to the woman, there was also a young man about twenty years old.
