Chapter Seventy-Three: The Confluence of Rivers

When Layla heard this, her face turned red with anger, and she kindly came to save people, how could this troublemaker still use himself as a shield to tell the story? And looking at his costume and appearance, he should be a sage-level magister, why is such a high-status person so unreasonable?

The group of soldiers looked at each other, they knew that a magister would arrive here recently, and the commander had already ordered that magister must be restricted from his actions and not let him act recklessly, it seemed that this was the person at the moment.

As for the girl, the soldiers were quite fond of her help, not to mention that she was a lovely woman, and the officer-like person spoke up without Layla retorting.

"This girl uses a magician to help people, and Your Excellency is approaching the fortress and using such a dangerous way to enter, causing heavy losses, the two are naturally not comparable. ”

Kuwait stretched out his hand and pushed in the air, and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I know, just kidding, I have something to find your chief this time, please lead the way, in addition, this little magic master, you are in the training, very good, do you want to be my apprentice when you go back?"

Layla snorted and said, "I already have a mentor, and I can't imagine a teacher as reckless as you. ”

"Hahaha, the word wanton is used well, I like it, after all, the wind is to be free and easy, and it is pervasive. Leaving these words of unknown significance, Kuwait followed the officer out of the city walls, and the commotion caused by the army gradually subsided.

"Kuwait, that's a familiar name. Zhou Lie came to Layla's side, and he also heard a little bit of the conversation between the two sides, and this magister has the arrogance of the warriors, and when he reports his name, his voice is loud, for fear that others will not hear it.

"Well, I know him, he's one of the few sages in Tionlis, the Wind Mage Kuwait, and the one who Tionlis sent to assist us this time, Randy told us about the whole person on the road before. Layla nodded, Zhou Lie may not care about these things on the road, but Layla remembers it very clearly.

In the past, when she was in Tionlis, Layla didn't have the opportunity to meet a sage-level figure, but after seeing it today, the original reverence disappeared in an instant, and in her impression, all great magicians should be unsmiling, serious and rigorous characters, what happened?

"In other words, we will have to work together in the future. Zhou Lie laughed, but he didn't have the disillusionment of Layla, firstly, because he was not clear about the temper of these magisters, and secondly, he was such an interesting character, and it would not be too troublesome to get along with.

A broken lookout was naturally repaired, and those civilians were naturally driven away from the city wall, Zhou Lie and Layla were no exception, the two walked around, and they also felt tired, so they returned to the hotel and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

It wasn't until the evening, when it was almost nightfall, that Randy and the others returned to the hotel, and sure enough, Kuwait, whom Baituan had met, was among them, and they were talking to Alfred along the way, if it weren't for their costumes telling the people around them that they were different, otherwise everyone would think that the two were friends who had known each other for a long time.

The three of them met again, Kuwait was very happy, but Layla ignored the sage, it seemed that the daytime events really made her unhappy, and the sage did not care, after the group finished eating, they asked the hotel for a large private room, closed the door, and formally discussed the search.

The first to speak was Kuwait, "The star carving in Mephisburg is a wind attribute star carving, and at the moment I can only sense that it is not far away, but I don't know the specific direction and distance, and I don't know what it is, but this powerful thing, as long as someone uses it, will inevitably cause a high-profile incident, so we will search for all similar things these days." ”

"Wind, haha, no wonder you sent the Wind Magister to help us. "But as you can see, Layla is the only magician here, and the rest of them don't know anything about magic. ”

Kuwait smiled, his eyes stayed on Zhou Lie for a moment, and said, "It's okay, I believe that with the intuition of the two of you, you can also find relevant clues, this is just an empty and big search direction, I believe that we will find specific clues at that time." ”

"Do you want us to ask one by one in the streets and alleys?" asked Zhou Lie, who didn't know anything about intelligence.

At this time, Randy replied, "If you want to know all the news about Mephisburg, there are two ways, one is through the official intelligence department, where will the big and small things in Mephisburg be recorded, although it can't be said to be 100% complete, but it also includes many events, if you want to know the news from the bottom, you have to rely on the city's underground information channel, that is, the black street." ”

The word Black Street, Zhou Lie is very familiar, in Oslin, those illegal underground casinos are the tip of the iceberg of Black Street, speaking of which Zhou Lie is also a legend of Oslin Black Street, and with his intuition, today he found some familiar atmosphere.

Again, Alfred is familiar with this aspect of things.

"Collect information, understand, and then it's time to investigate and corroborate, and to ensure the ownership of the star carving without alarming the other party. Zhou Lie said.

The crowd nodded.

"So, what if it's already on someone's body?" Zhou Lie asked, looking at Randy.

"At this time, I will naturally make a move. Kuwait smiled and said, "This kind of power falls into the hands of bad people, naturally it is a disaster, so I am an insurance, if you can't deal with that person, I will naturally help you, and when you are looking for information, I will also use secret techniques to search, I hope we can solve the work as soon as possible." ”

After recalling, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and the next day they worked in groups, Zhou Lie and Alfred naturally took on the job of communicating with the black street, Layla was unwilling to follow Scott, so she decided to refer to the events that Randy had screened out yesterday, and went to visit and investigate one by one, while Randy and Fried continued to read the information.

"I heard that you are a prince, why don't you stay in the palace, what are you doing here like a mercenary?" On the way, Alfred still couldn't suppress his curiosity and inquired about Zhou Lie's background.

"Because, for all sorts of reasons. Zhou Lie's tone was lazy and perfunctory.

"Uncle, I just want to see the true face of this world. Alfred didn't mind Zhou Lie's words, and spoke alone.

"Do you believe that there is a god in this world?"

"Well, I don't think so. Zhou Lie heard the other party's question and replied in confusion.

"Uncle thinks yes, although the empire has been preaching atheism, but in fact, that group of people all know that God exists, so we will despair about this world. Alfred said.

Zhou Lie also remembered that Bobolini told him that gods exist, and their ultimate purpose in collecting star carvings was to kill gods, and it seemed that the uncle in front of him was also someone who knew some inside stories.

"At least no God has ever appeared to help me in my life, and it makes no difference to me whether I have it or not. Zhou Lie said lightly, although it was perfunctory, but it was indeed the truth.

Alfred shook his finger and said, "Young man, you are still too young to have seen the real despair, when you think you have grasped hope and you get nothing, you know what I mean, God does exist, but they are never what the church preaches, God is selfish, greedy and ruthless." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Lie asked curiously.

With an inscrutable smile, Alfred pushed open the door and walked into a pawn shop.

The boss with eyes looked up at the two of them, and said in a cold tone, "What do you two need, or do you want to pawn something?"

Alfred stepped forward, leaned half on the counter, and said, "I'm going to pick up some tongues, do you have any spirits?"

This is the jargon in the dark street, the tongue represents intelligence, the spirits indicate strange things, and so on, there are ales, liqueurs, cocktails, referring to different aspects of the news, the boss looked at Alfred, there was vigilance in his eyes, and he hesitated before saying, "Your Excellency, I don't know who introduced you." ”

"No one introduced, but your store reveals a dark street atmosphere, I think it's a lot of people's intelligence house, I don't care who you work for, the price or the price on the market, the rules of the road, you should understand. "Alfred is a hooligan at the moment.

Hearing the other party's familiar appearance, the boss knew that the other party was also an insider, not a person who came over after learning two or three black words and wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, so he said with a straight face, "Please come with me." ”

There was indeed a secret room in the pawn shop, Zhou Lie was no longer surprised, and when he came to the secret room, a graceful maid immediately appeared.

"Whatever you want to know, Lilith will answer for you, the price list is on the side, and of course, if you want something else, we will provide it here. The boss said this, and after a few more words of rules and the like, he left the secret room and continued to stay at the counter.

"I don't know what news the two of you want to buy?" said the maid in a coquettish voice, knowing that the other party did not deliberately scratch his head and make a gesture, but the maid's voice stirred the two of them in a trance.

It was Zhou Lie who reacted first and said his intention.

"I'd like to know if there's anything strange going on in the city, like any signs of magicians in the last week. After considering the wording, Zhou Lie asked, "Of course, I don't mean the arrival of Kuwait yesterday, but something much earlier." ”

The maid smiled slightly, motioned for the two to follow her, came to a room, took out an envelope, and handed it to the two of them, "The matter you asked about is in it." ”
