In fact, when he just got the letter, Su Xiao's thoughts were the same as those of the city lord. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention the historical changes of hundreds of years since the founding of the city, the damage caused to Peacock City by the beast tide two hundred years ago alone is already very serious, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to recreate the magic array.

Merlin is definitely reluctant to give up this opportunity to restore the lost magic circle, but the city lord also has his concerns: "The magic array may be able to play a big role in resisting the beast tide, but it is not easy for Peacock City to develop into the way it is now, it's not that I don't want to, but you also have to think about how I can explain to the people?" Because they want to restore a magic array, they have to demolish their home? What's more, it has been less than 20 days before the next beast tide, and this huge project has not been completed in four or five years? ”

The city lord's words are reasonable, and Merlin can't refute them, if it really takes years to restore this magic array, then what is the point of restoring it? Is it to prevent the tide of beasts hundreds of years later? Such useless work that costs people and money is really inefficient.

Just when Merlin was already about to give up this magic circle, Su Xiao put forward a different point of view: "I think this matter may not be as complicated as you think. ”

"How?" Hearing Su Xiao say that there was a scene in the restoration magic array, Merlin's eyes were shining.

"I don't know much about the structure of magic, so I'll say that if there's something wrong, don't laugh at Mr. Merlin." Su Xiao took the letter from the city lord's hand, and said while reading: "In my impression, there should also be a distinction between primary and secondary in the magic array, and it can be seen from the information left by Ivan that in these hundreds of years, the city wall is still the same city wall, the main road is still east, west, north and south, the eye of the array is still the fountain in the center of the square, and the array is still this castle, which means that the basic part of the magic array is still there." ”

Seeing that the city lord and Merlin nodded in agreement, Su Xiaocai continued: "The letter said that Ivan was responsible for building a city, and the reason why he used the buildings in the city to form a magic array was mostly due to his love for magic and his whim. Just as magicians can now draw arrays on paper and on the ground with a red pen and mercury, I think that as long as Mr. Merlin is provided with enough manpower and materials to draw the array, this magic array should be restored quickly without destroying the buildings in the castle, right? Even if there is a house that must be demolished, there is no need to consider rebuilding after demolition, and it should be faster to draw a formation after razing the ground. In this way, even if you can't catch up with the second wave of beast tides, is there a problem with completing the big array before the third wave? ”

Hearing such a constructive speech, the city lord was overjoyed, his eyes flickered, and then he turned back to Merlin for advice, but saw that he was stunned by his face, and his hand holding the drawings trembled slightly.

Truth be told, Merlin was shocked by Su Xiao's proposal. The magic array can be painted or posed, and Ivan used Peacock City to set up the array, although the scale was grand and unexpected, it did not go beyond the scope of the array. However, Su Xiao's proposal was to half-draw the magic array, based on the existing city walls, castles, roads and holy fountains, and then use the way of drawing the array to supplement the details of the magic array, which is absolutely feasible, but definitely against tradition!

There is a saying in the real world: the temperament of science is indifference, arrogance, isolation and xenophobia. Some people may think that this statement is too extreme, but without this indifference, arrogance, isolation, and xenophobia, science will never be able to promote human progress and gradually develop into the most rigorous and reliable systematic discipline.

The magic system and the scientific system are definitely very different, but in terms of stubbornness and arrogance, those magicians who stand at the top of the era are definitely more extreme than the scientists in the real world, which is also the source of Merlin's hesitation.

"This ......" Merlin frowned, looking like he was a teenager in just a few seconds, "this method may not work......

"Why?" Alice was concentrating on playing with the fur collar of the Beastmaster jacket on Su Xiao's body, and the others didn't understand magic, but she hadn't been fooling around Merlin in vain these days, and immediately asked, "I think the young master's method is feasible?" ”

"No why!" Merlin glared at Alice angrily, "It's against tradition!" ”

When Alice heard this, she immediately glanced at Merlin with a look of "get out of the way", waved her hand disdainfully and said, "Teacher, you are too cowardly, tradition or something, it was originally used to break for future generations!" If you want me to say, don't care about those old stubborn rules, they have a bunch of big rules, and in the end they don't want us to protect Peacock City? They're so awesome, you let them defend the city! ”

"Presumptuous!" Alice's words made Merlin raise her eyebrows, and immediately shouted angrily: "You have only been studying magic for a few days, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at the leaders of the Magic Association?" These days, the old man has been teaching you so much in the hope that you will become a good magician, and you have learned these deviant things somewhere! ”

"Young Master!" Merlin's angry look was terrifying, so frightened that Alice quickly shrank behind Su Xiao.

In all fairness, Su Xiao really wanted to give Alice a big thumbs up, when the beast tide is raging on the continent and Peacock City is at stake, is this the time to set the rules? Su Xiao's favorite line when watching "Little Master" is "The tradition of Yangquan Restaurant is to break all traditions", without innovation and change, no matter how great things are, they will fall, even magic.

Su Xiao respects Merlin, but it doesn't mean that he will agree with Merlin against his will, just as he was thinking about how to convince Merlin to repair the magic array, he heard Merlin roar angrily: "his rules!" Go to his Magic Society! No matter what, the old man doesn't care about anything! Such a magic array that has been lost for hundreds of years is in front of you, how can it be worthy of the old man's magician soul if you don't repair it? Please help me prepare enough red pens and mercury, and within a month, the old man will make this great array reappear in the world! At that time, if the Magic Association really condemns the crime, the old man is willing to bear it! ”

Hearing that Merlin was willing to restore the magic array, the city lord immediately said: "Mr. Merlin can pay so much for Peacock City, the Marshall family can't thank it, if it really involves criminal responsibility, Peacock City is willing to advance and retreat together with the old gentleman!" ”

After expressing the excitement in his heart, the city lord faced Su Xiao and the three of them and said gratefully: "Thank you to the brave man for finding the great array to protect the city, such a great achievement is not to be appreciated!" The three of them are leaving the castle today, if there is any need, just say it, the Marshall family will never refuse if they can! ”

Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan glanced at each other, they had deliberately concealed the treasure map, and they always felt that they couldn't get over it with their conscience when they accepted the reward, so they said: "We just found out, Mr. Merlin repaired the big array is a great achievement, the city lord rewarded us, it is better to reward Mr. Merlin." ”

"You can't say that!" In order to pull Su Xiao into his camp, the city lord has never been so generous in his life, as the saying goes, he has a short hand and a soft mouth, no matter how much Su Xiao regards money as dung, if he gets enough benefits, he will not turn his face and deny people at a critical moment, right?

Chengism said solemnly: "I will naturally not forget Mr. Merlin's merits, but things are one yard at a time, and the city protection array was discovered by you, so you should not ...... again."

Before the city lord's voice fell, a pillar of golden light suddenly bloomed on Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan's bodies, which first frightened the three city lords for a moment, and then suddenly congratulated them with a sense of enlightenment: "The two brave men have been promoted to another level, which is really gratifying!" ”

"And me!" Alice popped up in displeasure, "I was 27 last night!" ”

Su smiled and patted Alice's little head, then took out the upgrade coupon that must be used before level 30 from his backpack, and after clicking on it, a golden light burst out from the three of them again!

This kind of continuous escalation scene shocked Alan Marshall's jaw was about to dislocate, thanks to the city lord and Merlin still had some knowledge, he did not lose his temper, and sighed again and again that Su Xiao and the three of them were extremely lucky, and they could get such a strange thing as an upgrade coupon.

In this way, the city lord is more and more unable to let go of Su Xiao's thighs - it is just that a person has strength, and at the same time, his luck is so good, this is definitely the rhythm of heaven!

After making up his mind, the city lord resolutely said: "The three brave men first discovered the great array of city protection, and then upgraded one after another in my castle, such a happy thing, as a witness to this scene, I must give you some good luck!" ”

"Forehead......" Su Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment, he understood the city lord's thoughts, although he really didn't care, but repeatedly shirking it would be too bad for the city lord to lose face. Regardless of the relationship between the two parties before, at least now they have been entertained for more than ten days, during which they handed over the sister flowers that Allen had robbed from the slums, and also took out the tribute-level hairy crabs to share with them, which shows their sincerity.

At this time, I asked Su Xiaoqiu if he hated the city lord, and asked himself, he couldn't say the word "hate".

In desperation, Su Xiao had no choice but to say: "That's it, I heard that a new batch of palace equipment arrived in the castle at noon yesterday, if the city lord must reward it, give me two sets of level 30 court robes." ”

"Two court robes? No problem, you can just pick it up in Kandal before you leave! The city lord agreed to Su Xiao's request with a smile on his face.

To tell the truth, the palace equipment or something is not even a drop in the bucket for the city lord, and it is not enough to win over Su Xiao. The reason why the city lord accepted Su Xiao's proposal was not because he slammed the door, but because he saw that these two sets of palace robes were already Su Xiao's biggest concession, and he was afraid of annoying him if he forced the reward.

The matter of the city protection array was successfully resolved, Chen Yaxuan and Alice's new armor was also unexpectedly purchased, Su Xiao did not want to continue to waste time in the castle, and after politely thanking him, he left the city lord's office with the sister flowers behind him.

Walking on the corridor of the castle, Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan both had solemn expressions and did not say a word. Alice felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, and just as she wanted to ask, she heard Su Xiao suddenly burst out laughing, and the sound of laughter resounded throughout the corridor!
