Chapter 43: The Moving Castle
"A moving station?" An Xu really couldn't imagine what kind of station could move on his own.
"Hey! Anyway, tell you, I guess you won't understand, it's a huge castle, all the strong people in the guild worked together to place a huge magic energy circle on it, and under normal circumstances, outsiders can't see it, because it will be hidden in a dimensional space. ”
"Like the treasure chamber last time?" An Xu asked.
"That's understandable! If no one controls the circle, the station will remain hidden, and it will only come out at a certain point each year. But this point in time and where it appears is always changing, and the law of change is known only to the adult. By now you should understand how difficult it is to find it, right? ”
An Xu nodded, no wonder Bingyan has never mentioned this matter, this is no longer difficult to describe in two words, unless you are lucky enough to go against the sky and happen to meet it, it is impossible to find it.
He suddenly remembered a question and asked, "And what does this have to do with your notebook?" ”
"At first, I thought that maybe the magic core supplying the circle had dried up, and the guild station had stopped somewhere, so my notes would be found! But according to the information you asked, it is clearly not the case. That chick didn't lie, since it was really picked up, the clue was broken, and it was useless to ask! Bingyan sighed.
"Isn't there any other way?" An Xu was very unwilling, it was okay not to know about the guild station, but now that he knew it, he found that he couldn't find it, and that feeling was crazy.
Bingyan said angrily: "If only there was another way, do you think I don't want to find it?" ”
Damn, An Xu is not calm, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to ask, how can he calm down now?
"Why didn't you speak all of a sudden?" Ya Yun Ling looked at An Xu standing there and asked strangely.
"Nothing!" An Xu replied weakly.
Ya Yun Ling was afraid that An Xu would think that he was perfunctory to him, and added: "That mercenary is still in the Emerald King City, if you need to, you can go to him in person and ask, but he also doesn't know anything, I guess you can't find any useful information!" ”
"Forget it, no need, I already know about it!" An Xu can only try to persuade himself to give up now.
Suddenly sensing that the atmosphere was a little weird, he raised his head and saw Ya Yun Ling staring at him with his arms crossed, and asked strangely, "Why are you looking at me?" Do I have dirt on my face? ”
Yayun Ling blinked and said, "I've already answered your question, now it's your turn, say it!" Why do you know this magic circle? ”
An Xu reacted at this time, and she also promised Ya Yunling to answer her question.
Fortunately, he had already thought of his words: "That's because I know the owner of this notebook, and it just so happens that he told me the principle of this magic circle, so I wrote it down!" But that was the only time, and I didn't understand anything else. ”
After An Xu said this, his face couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and he himself felt too fake.
Sure enough, Yakumo Ling stared at him with a smile, with a 'You are a fool of me?' 's expression, I can see An Xu's heart furious.
After a long while, Yakumo Ling spoke: "Okay, I'll just assume that what you said is true, then you tell me, who is the owner of this notebook?" ”
"Isn't his name on the cover?"
Ya Yunling picked up the notebook and flipped through it, pointed to the words on it, and asked strangely, "Bingyan?" What's the name? I always thought that there was some special meaning to these two words on the cover. ”
"yes, he's not from our side, so the name is uncommon."
"And where is he now?" Ya Yun Ling asked with a fox.
"I don't know this, it was he who traveled to Hidden Moon City and hired me as a guide in the first place, so I met him. He left after a while, and then I never saw him again. An Xu continued to ramble.
"What does he look like?"
An Xu stroked his chin and tried to 'recall': "He is very ordinary-looking, he looks quite old, his hair is gray, there is a spot on his face, and he often wears a green hat......"
"Hey, boy! That's almost enough, even if I'm just a soul, I need face! Bingyan couldn't listen to it anymore, so he quickly stopped An Xu, and couldn't help but want to beat him if he continued to talk.
An Xu thought to herself, is it easy for me? It's not just to ask about the guild's location, so I have to make a last resort.
I have never panicked in my life, the taste is too uncomfortable, Ya Yunling's sharp eyes are like nails, and An Xu couldn't help but want to look away several times, but forcibly held back.
I will never lie to anyone again, An Xu swore secretly in his heart.
"Well, I'll trust you for once! I will instruct people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of this arcane master, and if you have any news of him, you should also inform me as soon as possible, and the benefits will not be lost to you!" Yakumo Ling couldn't ask for any nutritious news for a long time, so he had to give up.
She is not a child, An Xu's words must be mixed with some water, and she will remember it after listening to it once, what is the fool of this? But everyone has their own secrets, and if An Xu doesn't want to tell it, she can't help it.
"May I ask what you're looking for him?" An Xu was a little curious.
"Of course, I asked him to be my teacher, the person who can write these things is definitely a very powerful arcane master, you don't know, such a secret master is too hard to find! My magic energy has been increasing, but my achievements in the secret method have stayed for a long time because I can't find someone to guide me. Yakumo Ling said with a deep sigh.
An Xu suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, he didn't expect that an identity like Ya Yunling would also face a lack of teachers, but fortunately he entered the Demon Martial Academy, otherwise he would be a headless fly now, and he couldn't find a way at all.
If Bingyan was likely to be resurrected, An Xu wanted to introduce Bingyan to her, but because there was no clue about the guild's residence, Yayun Ling was destined to be disappointed with him.
However, he was still a little puzzled and asked, "Then why do you have to practice arcane arts, isn't the elemental mage also very good?" With your abilities, it's still easy to find a powerful elemental mage to be your teacher, right? ”
"Hey, what do you know!? Esoteric learning is the essence of the real mage, and the elemental mage is just a pediatric thing, so I can't look down on it! Yakumo Ling was stubborn.
An Xu was speechless, well, another poor kid who drilled the horns of the bull.
Even he understands that there is no perfect profession in the world, each with its own merits!
Elemental mage pediatrics? An Xu just wants to hehe, if you have a temper, you go to Lan Caier to try it, and I promise to abuse you until you start to doubt your life.
On the way home, An Xu and Yakumo Ling both had listless expressions.
An Xu was disappointed after being extremely excited, and the huge gap caused him to be extremely depressed, and Yayun Ling did not ask about Bingyan's whereabouts, and his wish to apprentice was disappointed, and his mood was very low.
When they returned to the residence, they happened to meet Yun Feng who had returned from errands.
Looking at the same expressions of the two, Yun Feng was a little stunned, why didn't he see each other for a day, these two people became like this when they came back from the Demon Martial Academy, is it so terrible to go to school?
When Yun Feng came back, Ba Yunling put away his emotions a little and gave him a look: "Let's go, let's go in and talk about it." ”
"I'm back in my room!" An Xu said, when he returned home, he didn't have to follow Yayun Ling, there were professional guards everywhere, and it wasn't his turn to worry.
"Go ahead!" Ya Yun Ling waved his hand, and then walked into the study with Yun Feng.
After instructing the servants to leave, Yakumo Ling sat down on the bench and asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”
Yun Feng shook his head and said in a low voice: "The guards there are extremely strict, and it is very likely that your identity will be exposed if you approach rashly, I have tried a few times but can't, so I can only give up first." ”
"You're right, this matter must be quietly investigated, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake!" Ya Yunling pondered for a moment and said, "The matter here is not in a hurry for the time being, let's slow down for a while, let's deal with the problem of the family industry first!" ”
"It's also not good, I've already counted, the family's several rare ore veins on this side of Hidden Moon City have suffered huge losses this year! According to the reports of the people below, they were all attacked during the transportation, all the supplies were looted, and the other party was extremely ruthless, leaving almost no alive, and there were no eyewitness clues for the time being. ”
Yun Feng said, took out a stack of materials from his arms, and continued: "And the attacker knows the route of the transport team very well, several times the nearby patrolling troops have arrived at the scene, the battle is over, it is obviously a premeditated ambush, so it can be so fast. Not only that, the other party only picks rare minerals to start, and ordinary mineral materials have not been lost once, so it is clear that the information of these convoys is very clear. ”
"You mean, someone in Yakumo's family leaked the news?" Yakumo Ling frowned.
"Not sure, but it's a big possibility! There were several times when the family arranged expert guards in the transport team, but the other party seemed to have received a message, and there was no movement at all, and once these people were withdrawn, they would be attacked again. There are too many minerals on this side of Hidden Moon City, and just relying on the manpower here, they can't take care of it at all. ”
"Do you know where the lost supplies went?"
"The City Lord's Mansion has sent people to search, but nothing has been found. With so many minerals, it is impossible for them to sneak through the checkpoint and transport them out of the country in a short period of time, so there is a high probability that they are still hiding somewhere. ”
"Is it possible that they have already gotten rid of these supplies from the black market?"
"I also went to investigate the list of metal resources in the underground trading market of Hidden Moon City, but the identity of the Yakumo family is too sensitive, and the people here are very vigilant and don't want to reveal too much information. This is not suitable for me to investigate, it is better to find someone else who is familiar with the local situation! ”
Ya Yun Ling pondered, this time she came to Hidden Moon City, she only brought Yun Feng's team of guards, in some industries here, there are many people who are familiar with the local area, but she doesn't dare to trust these people at will now.
"I've got the right person!" Yun Feng saw that Yayun Ling was in trouble, and suddenly reminded.
Hearing Yun Feng's words, Yayun Ling raised his head thoughtfully: "You mean An Xu?" ”
