The warriors of this world are willing to accept the soul of the green beast, which is a great thing for Aichen, and it saves a lot of worry. But if you think about it, it's normal. After all, it is the combat power of the white come, how can those who have experienced more harsh wars than themselves not be impressed?

Feng Man is still very willing to believe in the two things of 'Sage in the Clouds' and 'Beast Tide Descending'. Not to mention that the Blue Beast Divine Soul had exceeded the limit of the mage's ability that he was familiar with, the most important thing was that Ai Chen was able to locate the nearby creatures in the clouds and accurately discover their location.

If the magicians of the White Stone Tower had the ability to do this, it would be easier to clean up the monsters on a daily basis. It's a pity that this convenient power is obviously unique to the sage in the clouds.

"Now there's another problem." Ai Chen said to Feng Man: "There is still a month before the beast tide, we must move the population of the nearby villages and cities to the spire city, and then mobilize all our forces to help defend the city. ”

According to the rules of the game, a 10-kilometer radius of competitors belongs to the 'scoring area', so Aichen doesn't want the battlefield to be too big. It is more convenient for you to take points by keeping a little bit.

To do this, we naturally need the support of the ruling class.

After Feng Man heard about it, he couldn't help frowning, feeling that this matter was very difficult to handle.

"Moving people is the same as emptying other cities. The nobles of those cities would not agree. Borrow the power of Spire City to defend the city...... This can be fought for, as long as His Majesty believes that the beast tide is coming. ”

"I want to see your king, how can I meet you?"

Ai Chen could choose to turn on the barbarian god and rush directly to the king, and no one could stop him. However, it is better to talk about cooperation in this meeting, and it is better not to cause contradictions.

Feng Man said that if he wanted to see the king, he only needed someone to introduce him.

"The captains of the three legions of Spire City, the curator of the Red Stone Tower Library, and the Elder Magicians of the White Stone Tower, only these people are qualified to introduce strangers to meet His Majesty the King."

"So much trouble? So who should I turn to for help? ”

"This ......," Feng Man hesitated, "I can introduce Your Excellency to our regiment leader." However, she has a very bad temperament and usually doesn't take care of things, so it may not be a good choice. Since Your Excellency is a sage in the clouds and a magician, it is best to go to the White Stone Pagoda and ask first. Not really, it's not a bad idea to have Master Penceby introduce you to the Director of the Redstone Tower. ”

Aichen noticed that Feng Man used the female 'she' when he said the leader of the Flame Regiment. It's kind of funny.

"How old is your head and how does he look?"

"Thirty years old, unmarried, all those in the legion who dared to joke about her family affairs were sent to the most tragic front. But the Legion Commander is still quite beautiful. ”

Hearing this, Aichen decided to go to the Agni Regiment first. There are two reasons for this. First, he hopes to meet more beautiful big sisters and increase the number of helpers for fellow practitioners. Second, he wanted to use the Blue Beast Divine Soul as a bargaining chip to convince the female leader, which should be the most efficient approach.

In order to make contact with the ruling class in the area, Achen had to leave the village and make a trip to the Legion's camp outside of the Spire, a place called the Burning Castle.

The scholar Pence Sby had heard some things about the sages in the clouds and the beast tide coming down, and although he didn't believe it, he didn't completely deny it, and planned to continue mapping the river in the village.

"I also wish he was a sage in the clouds, after all, the Sky Island is the greatest mystery of our civilization. If you need help, come to me. I'm right here. ”

Before leaving the village, Aichen consulted with the villagers, and owed money to buy the flesh of the creatures in the clouds in their hands, and piled it all up in the cave before.

There is still a month before the big trouble, and in order to obtain as many green beast divine souls as possible, every hour must be saved and not wasted. The villagers were very talkative and agreed to the benefactor magician's IOU. However, interest will be charged.

After poking the Blue Beast Altar into the ground, Aichen asked two warriors from the Flame Regiment to help guard the door.

"I'll be back tomorrow at noon at the latest, and don't let anyone else touch this sealed cave until then. When I come back, I'll give each of you a copy of the Green Beast Divine Soul. ”

Feng Man and his friends didn't understand what the hell this 'sage in the clouds' was doing, and they weren't interested in asking, anyway, it must be some strange work of magicians.

The two warriors happily took the job of guarding the city, while Aichen rushed in the direction of Spire City. The Fire Castle is a small castle on the outskirts of Spire. It forms a triangular area with Fort Glory and Fort Wisdom, and the Spire City sits in its central location.

When the group arrived on horseback, it was almost dinner time, and it was completely dark. Near the castle, Feng Man saw a group of his own army, led by acquaintances, rushing forward at night, and the nearby villages and towns in front of him did not need to think about it and knew that they were going to relieve the disaster.

He paused to inquire about the damage caused by the movement of the islands, and the latter said that he did not know much about it, only that the eight islands in the nearby airspace had moved their positions one after another. Although it didn't go far, it threw down a large number of creatures in the clouds.

The Flame Legion is the best of the Spire Legions, and this cleanup is up to them.

Feng Man asked about the situation of his own army commander by the way, and he was worried that the boss would lead his troops out on a whim. Anyway, this kind of bad luck didn't happen.

The boss talked to her literature teacher all day, and he was locked in the room and didn't come out. I guess I was stimulated at last night's dance. ”

Feng Man: "Huh? The boss locks himself in the house? It should be that you are not in a good mood. I wonder if bringing someone to visit at this time will make her angry? ”

"It's okay, you go to yours, it's a big deal to be scolded, and it's almost the same to eat a whip at the worst. Anyway, the boss has a small hand, and it doesn't hurt at all to beat people like a massage. I've been having sore back muscles lately, and I really want my boss to use her little hands to help me press it. ”

Ai Chen listened to the conversation between the two and was very interested in the legendary female leader. It sounds like a guy with little majesty.

The Burning Castle, lit with torches and oil lamps, remained dark on late autumn nights, and did not at all live up to its bright, fiery name. Every autumn and winter, the soldiers would joke that 'Castle of Fire should be renamed Fort Gloomy'.

Compared with Fort Glory and Fort Wisdom, this place is really shabby.

The Legion's room was on the top floor of the castle, a very well-lit place. This will make it warmer during the day.

The fire was burning in the fireplace in the room, and the dry wood crackled. In front of the fireplace, a slender woman lies sideways on a buckskin blanket, clutching a novel and reading by the firelight.

As a military attaché, Galia is very passionate about literature and art. After all, the city of spires is a city of scholars, a city of books, and a city of magicians. The whole city is in the mood for this.

Last night, Galia, as a veteran military aristocrat, attended a ball held by His Majesty the King to celebrate His Majesty's coming-of-age ball.

As a woman, she really can't blend in with the military attache circle. There were men there, and if he approached him, he would be in danger of being proposed to him on the spot. There was no way, she had to run to the circle of her childhood girlfriends and chat with them to pass the time.

During the dinner, the drama performed a new play, and the first performance after rehearsal was said to be based on a popular novel in the city. Galia and her companions gathered together to watch, but they were spoiled by the people around her.

She was a little displeased, and said with a straight face, 'I haven't seen it yet, I don't know the plot'. I thought that the people around me would stop spoilers and watch the play quietly. Still, they couldn't finish their discussion.

Seeing this, Galia had to emphasize again, "Ladies, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Unexpectedly, several people on the other side retorted with displeasure: "This novel is so popular now, even civilians are exchanging and reading, and we have read it a long time ago." If you don't look at it yourself, forget it, after all, it's a martial artist. Let's not discuss, what is the reason? ”

Galia was carefully dressed before going to the prom, and her temperament was graceful and luxurious, and she could compare with the princess's style. Compared with the military attaché, she is more like an ordinary aristocratic woman who is lazy all day long and does not do anything to produce.

Seeing these female companions refer to themselves as 'military attachés', Galya felt a little offended, and ran to the corner to watch quietly.

Although she seemed to be in normal mood and was not affected by the Tao, she was a little inferior inside.

They were right, I was a military attaché. Not even the popular novels of the moment, let alone the obscure academic works. ’

Early the next morning, she called the literature teacher and asked him to make a list of the most popular books in the city, hoping to flesh it out a little, at least not to be ashamed. She thought that there would be about ten books at most, but the list was more than a meter long.

Galia decided to start with the easier ones, so she picked up a novel about a teenager who chases his dream of Sky Island, but is ruined by a liar who calls himself the 'Sage in the Clouds'.

Looking at it, Galia sat up straight from her lazy side lying position, then sat back at her desk with a frowning eyebrow, holding the book upright and reading.

"Are all the novels so interesting now?"

She really likes the protagonist in the novel, a very innocent and charming teenager, and the author spends a lot of ink describing this character, so that readers can feel pity and recognition of him without reducing the readability of the novel, which is quite rare.

However, the story is interrupted, and the sunny plot takes a sharp turn. The appearance of a con artist ruins the charismatic protagonist and makes him fall step by step, fall and fall into the abyss.

Watching and watching, Galia was so incited by the sensational passages in the book that she began to shed tears. Just as the climax is over and the finale is about to be revealed, the arrival of a herald ruins all the atmosphere.

"Boss, that kid Feng Man brought a few people over, saying that he wanted you to meet them."

"Don't call me Boss, call me Captain Galia."

"Don't do it, boss, it's very awkward. We've been used to it for so many years, and you should give up on the things that forced us to change our words, right? It's useless, it can't be changed. ”

"Alright, alright, you can go quickly. Call Von Man over. By the way, who did he bring with him? ”

According to him, he found the true Sage in the Clouds. Listening to all kinds of unreliability, you may have been deceived. ”
