Hathaway lay lazily on the sofa, wrapped in a layer of white soft mud, looking at the outline, she obviously didn't have a wisp, even if she was lying down, the mountains were spreading, and she still stood proudly.

The maid on one side chanted a spell, condensing translucent palms with blue and green light, rubbing her body, causing the legendary sorceress to let out a numbing moan.

The soft mud is gradually changing color, and whenever there is a little gray, there is a palm to scrape away the mud, revealing the crystal white skin. The other hand took in the air and pulled up another stream of jade-like soft mud and covered the body.

Hathaway was surrounded by more than one busy maid, and the maid was rubbing her long black hair with colorful foam. Two kneeling at their feet, one trimming the toenail of one foot, and looking at the blue light flashing between their fingers, is also using magic.

Hathaway was enjoying it tiredly, and her brow suddenly furrowed slightly. She stretched out her hand and heard someone's voice, reporting something to her.

After listening, Hathaway said lazily: "Sakhina, the order I gave you is to stay by the duke's side and never leave, it seems that you have not done it." Thinking of the love you accompanied me when I was a child, I gave you this opportunity. If you can't grasp it yourself, don't blame me when you stand on the jumping platform of the floating ship in the future. ”

Sakhina's frightened plea was abruptly cut off, Hathaway pointed her finger at her pale chin, and said to herself: "The atmosphere in Silver City is no different from that of the upper nobles, but he still feels suffocated, and he is indeed a revolutionary who is determined to free slaves." ”

The maid took the hand of magic and covered her face with oozing mud, she closed her eyes and muttered, "Then try to toss, boy." The more lively it is, the better, and it's best to turn Silver City upside down. ”

Somewhere in the mansion, translucent tentacles wrapped around Josie's neck like a snake, lifting her petite body high. The double ponytail girl kicked her legs and struggled desperately, but no matter what spell she used, the magic power seemed to be sucked away by tentacles, except for overflowing streams of blue light, it had no effect.

Seeing that her face was blue, her eyes were white, and the corners of her mouth were overflowing with white foam, the tentacles were released.

Josie fell to the ground, clutching her throat and coughing violently.

"It would be a dereliction of duty not to follow the Duke, Josie, you don't really think of yourself as a young lady of the Milderns, do you want me to serve you?"

The half-elf dressed as a maid reprimanded in a deep voice, whether it was her tone or expression, she didn't look like a real girl.

Josie argued, "I was sent by Master Zold!"

The magic tentacles flicked and gave Josie a hard slap in the face, causing her to roll on the ground several times.

"Before Young Master Zolde did not divide the family and become the master, all the slaves of the Mildern family must obey the orders of the master! I am the deacon of the mansion, of course you have to obey my management!"

"Now, get out of here!

Josie bit her lip, covered her already bruised cheeks, and left silently.

On a large island very far from Silver City, on the terrace at the top of the towering White Tower, Perro-Mildern rebuked Zolde: "You didn't arrange some of the programs for the Duke to like, the Duke is obviously uncomfortable staying in the Mansion!"

"I ......"

Zelder said helplessly: "Going to Shadow City is his favorite show, the Duke is not an ordinary nobleman, he is the Pope of the revival of Eros, and dealing with civilians makes him feel comfortable, and he is not even happy to let me accompany him." ”

He was slightly excited, "But he's agreed to attend the Mildern Family Tower Celebration, the donation of Space Stones to the Supreme Academy of Magic, and the anchoring ceremony of the Mildern Plains Plane, which of course also happens to be your birthday." In addition, he offered to be the guest of honor of the Mildern family to attend this year's Dimensional Exploration Auction and the Magic Boat Race. ”

Perro twitched his eyebrows, which were no longer visible, "Oh, is the Duke still interested in the auction and the magic ship?"

"Yes, the auction ......"

Zold's mind flashed through what Li Qi said: "I thought there was no this, but since there is, it is a repertoire, how can I miss it." ”

Completely confused about what "repertoire" meant, Zolde decided to ignore it.

He said: "The auction is nothing, it seems that a certain little saint is very fond of flying boats, and the duke asked for it." ”

Perro nodded: "It's good to have a common preference......"

Zolde continued, "If you hand over Vicky to the Duke now, he should be able to stay in the mansion with peace of mind." ”

"No hurry, no hurry......"

Perro waved his hand and said, "Zold, the chips must be handed over at the end to ensure that everything is under control." ”

Zolde said dissatisfiedly: "But ......"

Perro said, "Isn't this witch the biggest reason why the Duke is willing to come to the Storm Islands?"

Zolde suppressed his anger and said, "I think the biggest reason is that the Duke is interested in the prospect of cooperation between him and our Mildern family!"

"It's with you, Zold-Mildern's prospects," Perro said with a faint smile, "until you don't overtake your sister in the line of succession, that's the truth." ”

"Father!"

Zelder finally broke out: "Do you still think there is hope on Erxiang's side? You don't know what kind of person Greta is, does she say in your ear all day long, the current situation is that Erxiang is playing big chess, Erxiang is still in control of everything, and will eventually be the ruler of the mainland?"

Pei Luo was not angry, but shook his head with emotion: "Young man, ......"

"It doesn't matter what Greta says, until Theresia takes Valentine and obtains the Shield of Loyalty, all signs may be God's layout, and they are not enough to determine the fate of the family. ”

"Zold, the Storm Islands are 30,000 years old, and ninety percent of them have been spent battling storms and tides, and struggling with suffering. Before the legalization of the sub-dimensional mask, there was never a storm or tide for the magician that was final and required all our strength, because they never stopped. ”

"Our family is different from Ted and Menesus, they have demigod guidance and can glimpse the history of two to three steps, and a subordinate family like ours cannot foolishly follow their footsteps and charge for them. ”

"What's more, the Mildern family didn't grow alone, and no big family could hang their own crest in the tower in the center of Silver City on their own. We must be in step with our partners, and it is necessary to be probing in all directions, but we must not stand alone until we have agreed on a position. ”

His father's teachings contained the experience accumulated by the family for generations over thousands of years, and this heavy force forced Zolde to bow his head.

He said helplessly: "That's why my father agreed to give the magic guide ** paper to Gretta?"

"You have to ask the real reason", Perro shrugged: "Actually, it's very simple, the Storm Islands are our foundation, what is the chaos on the continent, which god dominates the mortal world, what does it have to do with us magicians? ”

Zolde said, "But the prophecy of Dean Menesus ......"

"Didn't I just say that?"

Perot said disdainfully: "Those of them can get a glimpse of the history after two steps, and the so-called prophecy is just a trick to use us as pawns." ”

The old legend looked at the blue sea and said leisurely: "Do you see that reef in the distance? Since I was born, it has stood there, and it has not changed at all until now, even the tide line is still the same." ”

"We've built our eternal home in the Storm Isles, and it's always going to be so peaceful. When you reach my age, you will follow me, my father, and my grandfather, and stare at that reef and teach your children and grandchildren. ”

Zolde opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

Shortly after Zolde left, a little blue ice crystal appeared in the air.

Perot tapped with the tip of his staff, and the ice crystals turned into a projection of a woman, extremely beautiful, and her facial features were vaguely similar to Zold's, but her flying eyebrows made her whole person proud and sharp, which was very different from Zold's temperament.

Nor was she speaking in a tone as respectful as Zold's: "Father, the arrival of Richie Prell has made our allies suspicious, feeling that you have completely fallen to the Alliance of Order. ”

"That's not our ally, it's your Greta Mildern," Perro said. ”

Grita snorted coldly: "After all, it is a voice that cannot be ignored, from a force that cannot be ignored, otherwise you would not have let me befriend them since I was a child." If it weren't for the fact that the son-in-law of the Green family never became a legend, I would be a member of the Green family now. ”

Perro sighed, "I didn't decide to completely fall in favor of the Order Alliance, and no family would do so, but Theresia's Oath of Broken Tower has forced the Storm Islands as a whole to lean in favor of her, this is an unstoppable trend, and we must show it." ”

Greta chased after him: "Using Prell to show off our family's close relationship with the Alliance of Order is not a normal expression. Father, while you are gaining more family support, you are also pushing away some allies, and they will not sit idly by. ”

Perro said in a deep voice, "That's what you need to solve, Grita. Your succession not only determines your treatment in the family, but also represents the responsibilities you carry. ”

Greta laughed and said, "Then I will follow my understanding and my method to protect the interests of the family." ”

"Grita!"

Pei Luo was about to say something, but the other party's figure had already dissipated, and he paused his staff in annoyance, wanting to cast a spell summon, but stopped again.

"It's okay to let the other families see that I'm under pressure for this. ”

Perro shook his head: "Young and beautiful boy, you are destined to be a tempting flower, so let it bloom more brilliantly in the Storm Islands." ”

..................

"Someone must be cursing me viciously......"

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Li Qi felt a ...... in his heart No, there were several weird chills, muttering subconsciously.

No one noticed him, and the witches, as well as the two fortresses of Poppy and Finn, were shocked by the sight in front of them.

They came out of the ground, a wide square with petals extending out of the avenues, and the great stone pillars that divided the avenues reached into the clouds.

It's not a cloud, it's a fake vision......

Looking up at the sky, although it is a piece of blue, it occasionally spreads faint ripples, which makes people not have the realism of the sea and sky, and is faintly depressed.

Looking at those stone pillars, it is naturally the bottom of the magic tower, without the decoration of paint, revealing the true color of the rock that is either blue or gray. The body of the tower is surrounded by a circle of patterns composed of countless magic circles, which should be a protective barrier to protect the magic tower from attack.

The thinnest stone pillars, which are hundreds of meters thick, penetrate the space hundreds of meters high like a building, and look out from the square to the surroundings, stretching endlessly, giving everyone a sense of insignificance in a huge forest.

If you look closely, around the bottom of the tower, a circle of buildings made of wood, rock and even metal is mottled in color, dilapidated and messy, which immediately dilutes the shock brought by this strange painting style. Some of the buildings climb up the tower, more than 10 stories high, without any planning and coordination, like a dirty snakeskin bag on the back of a Maserati seat.

What makes Li Qi familiar is that many dilapidated buildings are still projecting various mirages, and even hanging large mirage scrolls to play various images, no wonder Rowanna's mirage industry can develop so rapidly, and the shadow city of the Storm Islands is a big market.

"Hey, a lot has changed......"

"yes, there weren't that many Mirage signs before. ”

The two demon warriors also expressed surprise.

Finney, Tina, and Insi kept admiring, "There are so many people", "There are so many cars", just like the hillbilly who has just entered the big city, even Ellie can't help but roll her eyes.

Dressy said in a tone that I didn't know whether to look back on pride or embarrassment: "The population of Silver City is said to be about the same as that of Rakka, with millions of them, and at least seventy percent of them live here. ”

No wonder there are few people in the Silver City above......

Dressy asked, "Where does the Duke want to go first?" to visit the market or to eat?"

Of course, it's to go shopping first and then eat, and Li Qi still understands this program.

As he spoke, a crowd of people gathered around, all carrying long horsewhips.

"Master, take my car, five coppers an hour!"

"My car is big enough to sit all down!"

"This is the center of Shadow City, no matter where you go, it's a long walk to the station!"

It's a very intimate scene......

"Get out of the way...... Young Master and Miss, stay away!"

"Wait obediently to pick, don't blame us for being rude if you nag again!"

The two demon warriors shouted coldly, and the coachmen noticed their complexions, and they all shuddered, and they did not confess their crimes, and retreated again and again.

Not...... It's not kind now.

"Whose car does it belong to? Yours? Okay, we've got it, three silver pennies a day. ”

"Don't be too late, you know who we are and dare to bargain?"

The Demon Warrior got the transportation in a moment, and in Li Qi's opinion, it was not the familiarity of the situation but the identity of the Demon Warrior.

After getting into the car, Dressy said: "We demon warriors only work in Silver City, and live at the bottom of the magic tower, each magic tower has a portal to the Shadow City, and we usually have a pastime here, so we are very familiar with the situation here. ”

Li Qi nodded: "Then let's go to the bazaar that sells novelty first." ”

Two demonic beasts with horns on their heads and scales scattered around their bodies pulled the carriage and sank into the traffic.

After a while, a blonde woman stepped out of the underground teleportation passage, unfolded the scroll in her hand, and looked around, unable to determine the direction for a moment.

Another black-haired girl with a double ponytail rushed out, making eye contact with the blonde, and both of them snorted at the same time, but did not speak.

"It's there!"

The girl in the double ponytail glanced at the scroll in the blonde's hand and pointed in a certain direction, and the blonde looked at her suspiciously.

"Believe it or not, whatever you want. ”

The double ponytail pulled out a skateboard from the spatial ring, stepped on it, and sped away in the direction she pointed. The blonde sighed helplessly, and with a wave of her hand, the cart resembling a wooden horse fell to the ground, and she rode the cart in quick pursuit.
