"I can come in here when I'm drunk. Zhou Lie looked at the familiar scenery around him and laughed, originally thinking that he would not be pulled into this spiritual world if he was drunk.

"The world of consciousness has nothing to do with your physical body, just as you don't feel drunk right now. Frem on the side appeared, still Zhou Lie's appearance.

"Can you change your appearance?" Zhou Lie looked at the other party and felt uncomfortable.

"The way you see the image of me in your heart, it's not that I became like this, after all, this is your world. ”

"I just imagined you as a pig, why haven't you changed. ”

"Because what you really think in your heart hasn't changed. ”

"How I don't know. ”

"I've heard a saying that the last thing people know is themselves. ”

“。。。。 So you don't know what you are, so you're human?"

"You can think so as you want, but I do have a 'personality', it's true. ”

After practicing in the dream in the past few days, although Frem has also done a demonstration in person, Zhou Lie still failed to ignite the flames steadily, let alone the fireball, but mastered a variety of explosion methods and explosion degrees, these different explosion degrees were divided by Zhou Lie into one to five or five gears, of course, they were all divided by his physical sense.

So this time Zhou Lie planned to change the way, he had always forcibly taken out some of the fire elements surging around his body and gathered them, but every time there was an explosion, after Wilson's speech, after hearing the principle of the cooling spell, Zhou Lie realized that simply driving the fire element to run would not produce an explosion, and it would not even produce flames.

The explosion caused by oneself is basically caused by the expansion of the air caused by the accumulation of a large amount of heat in a very small space, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that the flames are not simply gathered at one point, but converge into a one, constantly jumping, and emitting heat to the surroundings.

Imagining the way the flames jumped, Zhou Lie followed the direction of the fire elements surging around him, causing them to condense and imitate the way the flames jumped.

Under the guidance of Zhou Lie's spiritual power, the fire elemental that moved irregularly around the body ran in a regular cycle, and the flow of those elements that were originally thick but light in color was restrained. turned crimson and writhed beside Zhou Lie.

"Bang"

After a soft slight sound, a flame appeared around Zhou Lie's body, enveloping him, and the huge pillar of fire writhed like a snake, swaying and writhing, and kept spinning around Zhou Lie.

Seeing the huge pillar of fire around him, Zhou Lie waved his fist excitedly, as long as he succeeded once, he could succeed a second time, and then he only needed to make the scale of the flames smaller.

There is still a long way to go, but now, he has the confidence to use this power freely in reality.

In the secret base of the Old Street Rebels, in a small room located somewhere in the sewers, in addition to the leaders Fawkes, Aiden, and Lian, there is also a middle-aged man, who is discussing the news that the teenager Bashir has brought back.

That night, Bashir met Fawkes with trepidation, and handed over a letter from the consul Augustus, recounting what had happened to him in the Consulate, and Bashir had the courage to persuade the leader to attend the meeting, but when he saw the anger on the other side, he did not dare to say a word after stammering these things.

The wooden box that was split into two pieces and the letter were placed in front of everyone, but it was Aiden who got the news about this thing and sent someone to grab it, but he didn't expect to be delivered to him by a passing Oriental teenager.

"Don't you need to think about it, there must be some conspiracy here, if this Augustus had the slightest good intentions, he would not have sent an army to intervene in this matter, so as to make an indiscriminate act of killing civilians in the old street. Aiden on the side said angrily.

"Don't worry, maybe it's not as bad as we thought, after all, the other party sent Bashir back, besides, we didn't get the contents of the box, if we can hand over this half of the box in exchange for citizenship, I think it's worth it. A young man sitting next to Aiden said.

"Alex, the other party is just grabbing you with this mentality and deceiving you in the past, and when the time comes, you will know that you are wrong when you are surrounded by the other party. ”

The young man known as Alex said, "But in the face of this invitation, if we refuse directly, it will not necessarily provoke the other party's tough measures, if the other party does another sweep of the old street, we will have to leave here, and now we do not have enough strength to protect the safety of the residents, but in this case, I am afraid that the residents who remain here will only be worse than they are now." ”

Fox waved his hand, stopped the argument between the two, and then looked at Lian, who had been silent on the side, and asked, "At that time, you were going to investigate the wreckage of these two boxes, did you find anything?"

Lian picked up the remains of a box from the table, and said, "The wooden box is an ordinary wooden box, but the wood and the inside left traces of the magic circle, I calculated it, it should be a formation used to trap something, but that formation is a little broken, I don't know what it is used to trap, I think that when the oriental boy sent the things over, the things in the wooden box were gone." ”

"You mean there's a living creature in the box?" Fawkes asked, frowning.

"I don't know, but judging from the fact that the wooden box is simply split by a sword, the box itself is too fragile, so the possibility of a living thing is very low, it should be a spirit body, such as a human soul or the soul of a demonic beast. Lian said.

"In any case, the thing is gone, so in this case, there is no bargaining chip for the other party to negotiate the deal. Fawkes frowned.

"So you want to circumvent this negotiation?" asked Alex, who was on the side.

Fawkes knocked on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't forget the original purpose of our resistance, we are fighting for the Portians who are being discriminated against, if Augustus can keep his promise, we can talk to him." ”

"But it's definitely dangerous. Aiden, who was on the side, heard Fox say that he wanted to accept the other party's invitation to negotiate, and hurriedly stood up and wanted to object.

Before Aiden could say the next words, Fox raised his hand and interrupted, "Since it is a negotiation, it will naturally not be in the other party's territory, I want to let them enter the old street, otherwise I will not accept the other party's negotiation, I have already thought of the location, there is an empty house on the west side of the old street, and the secret passage there is enough to fill twenty people in an ambush in advance, plus the guards on the surface, I am not afraid of conflict." ”

"Then it's better to take this opportunity to kill the other party and take control of the city by the way. Aiden said.

"Have you forgotten why we didn't do it, even if we had the power to assassinate the administrators, we didn't have enough power to run the city. Alex replied, "The Empire forcibly removed half of the Portians in this city, and with the suppression in the past few years, we can't take over this city and run it well in a short period of time, not to mention that you forgot that on the day the city was broken, something attacked it." ”

"Killing people won't solve the problem, and we've given up on the plan to restore the country a long time ago, have we? Fox said, patting Aiden on the shoulder.

"Yes, Your Highness. Aiden lowered his head unwillingly.

"Is Your Highness going to tell the other party that this box was sent by the Oriental boy?" asked Alex on the side.

"No, I don't think the other party knows this, otherwise I wouldn't think that the thing is with us, the Oriental man was originally involved in it, we don't need to pull him in again, this is not good, and the other party may not believe it. ”

After thinking about it, Fox expressed his opinion.

"Indeed, the statement that the other party said that the box was empty when we got it, and that the person who delivered the box was an Oriental boy passing by is indeed too low. Alex smiled bitterly, "But this problem returns to square one, we can't carry a pot that doesn't belong to us." ”

"Lian, if it's really a soul or something in the box, as you speculated, what will he do when he leaves the box?"

"If it's an evil spirit, I'm afraid it will immediately invade a person's body, and if it's something else, it will quickly attach itself to a certain container, so the possibility that that the Oriental boy has what they want is extremely high. Lian replied.

"Heh, I really don't know if we're unlucky or if he's unlucky. Fawkes shook his head with a wry smile, "Anyway, how to say this matter, leave it to me to judge, Lian and Aiden will go to set up the defense of the meeting place, Alex will help me write a reply letter, give it to Bashir, and let him go on another run." ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them left the room to deal with the task at hand, and Fawkes tapped on the table, quietly thinking, recalling the events of the past few years.

Fox Scott, the second prince of the Kingdom of Portia, according to the records of the Empire, his whereabouts are unknown after the destruction of the city of Osling, but he was actually rescued by his chief knight Aiden and the court magician Lian, and collected the remnants of the defeated army of the Kingdom of Portia outside the city, which was the predecessor of the rebels.

At first, they hid in the city to create all kinds of chaos, trying to shake the empire's control of the city, looking for an opportunity to restore the country, but unexpectedly, the empire actually forcibly relocated half of the civilians in the city, and moved a large number of Marstians from the north into it, and sent troops to forcibly maintain the order of Oslin for two years, and now they have little foundation to shake the empire's rule in the city, and their desire to restore the country has basically been declared bankrupt.

As a former prince, he can only hide in the secret room in the sewers, silently guarding this old street, and at the same time secretly sanctioning the imperial officials who are angry with the Portians, robbing them of their supplies to help the orphans and widows in the old street who have no work income.

Of course, there will also be people like Aiden who have never given up the idea of recovering the country, who will trouble each other from time to time, and then also find trouble for themselves.

"Hey. Fox sighed, he was really tired all these years.

Bashir returned home that night with his legs limp, and now he didn't believe that he had walked through the Consulate and delivered a letter to his own leader on behalf of the Archon.

Thinking of the majesty of the leader that night, and the courage of the men standing behind the leader, Bashir felt nervous,

"Knock knock. ”

When Bashir came to the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a gentle face holding a letter in his hand, and said to Bashir, "You are Bashir." ”

Bashir nodded.

"The leader of this letter wishes you to go and deliver it to Archon Augustus, saying that we will grant your request, but that he must come to the Old Street to negotiate with us, and that he must not be more than five men with him. Alex said in a flat tone.

Bashir solemnly accepted the letter and assured Alex, "I will deliver it absolutely." ”
