Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sniping San Chio
Magicians are a money-burning business, and the more advanced the magician, the more so. But correspondingly, the real high-level magicians are rich masters, and the more high-level magicians are, the more so!
As one of the three highest-ranking saint-rank magicians in the Aegean, Neil's purse is definitely more generous than that of most of the so-called wealthy merchants in the Aegean. Therefore, even if the hotels and inns in the towns around the Leaning Moon Lake have become sky-high prices, he still doesn't care about chartering an entire courtyard to arrange a group.
In the middle of the night, a strange wave of elemental probing magic woke up Neil, who was meditating. Opening his eyes, Neil frowned slightly. It was an elemental fluctuation with a very obvious provocation. I'm not sure if it's against him or anyone else in the vicinity, but Neil is sure that the one with this elemental wave is strong!
"Teacher!" Joseph's voice came from outside the door, "You feel it too!" Obviously, the arrogant probe not only woke Neil, but also Joseph and the others.
"Very arrogant little guy!" Putting on his coat, Neil pushed the door and walked out of the room, with a mocking scorn on his face: "Let's go, let's go and see, that little guy is so arrogant, maybe he can find out about the conspiracy of the Xin family and Jiangnan in the Western Regions!"
Neil wasn't worried about traps or anything like that. With the identity of their group, even if they are thousands of troops, even if they can't be defeated, there is absolutely no problem in getting out!
The town, which had been quiet because of the night, suddenly became noisy, and it was obviously not just Neil and his party who were awakened. However, only Neil and his party rose into the air with a big grin. Especially Neil, who doesn't use any magic and relies entirely on magic to fly through the sky, showing off his powerful strength in a low-key and gorgeous way! Joseph, as a celestial fighter, can also fly through the sky, but not as inconspicuous as Neil. The whole body flashed with dazzling purple thunder and lightning fighting energy. His fierce gaze swept over, and many of the adventurers who had planned to come out to join in the fun all obediently hid back in their rooms.
Neil ignored the adventurers, instead looking around. Although the elemental exploration just now was arrogant, the time was very short. Neil felt it, but he didn't know exactly which direction it was coming from. So there was some hesitation for a while, but I don't know whether it was intentional or not, and the wave of probing fluctuations swept over again. Now he was caught by Neil. I didn't say hello, and flew straight in the direction I sensed.
A faintly translucent air shield envelops Neil, flying at a speed like a meteor streaked across the sky.
Only Joseph calmly followed him, and the others, whether magicians or guard warriors, tried their best to catch up, but they were still gradually distanced away.
Neil's speed was truly astonishing, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had already left the town for more than a hundred miles. However, Neil did not continue on his way, but stopped, frowning slightly. According to perception, the starting point of that wave is still ahead. But they had already traveled more than a hundred miles, what kind of detection magic could detect such a huge range? Neil was guaranteed by the cultivation of a saint-level magician, and there was no detection type of magic in the known world that could reach this distance! As for the spiritual detection of the samurai, it was even more of a joke. The fact that a samurai can sense a distance of ten miles is already remarkable. Even the powerhouses of the Holy Rank may not be able to do it!
Go on, or go back?
Neil hesitated. The other party's strange and unreasonable detection magic made him a little confused, although he was extremely confident in his own strength, but rashly facing an unknown opponent was definitely not a wise act. But if you go back at this time......
Looking at Joseph and the guards who had just caught up, Neil felt a little embarrassed. Just when Neil was in a dilemma, a change occurred!
At Neil's feet, a huge magic array centered on him and with a radius of several kilometers appeared out of thin air. Whether it was Neil, the accompanying guard mage, or Joseph and the others, they all felt that the elemental power in their bodies was instantly suppressed to the minimum. Immediately after that, some of the surroundings began to blur. It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like a long time had passed. When the surroundings became clear again, Neil and the others had appeared in a strange place.
Neil looked around, and everything around him seemed strange. It was a plain area, with no special terrain, except for a tall tower a few miles away. It is common to see a tower of that shape in the southern part of the Western Regions, but this one is a little special, and Neil can vaguely see that it seems to be a metal tower. That's a bit rare. This tall tower is 100 meters above and below, and even if it is just a layer of metal plating on the outside, the consumption is extremely amazing.
Soon, though, Neil didn't particularly care. There are a lot of strange buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions, and although this one is particularly strange, it is not worth paying too much attention to. Neil was more concerned about what had brought him here.
As a sorcerer of Santa Chio, Neil's sensitivity to the elements is definitely incomparable to that of 99.999999% of the entire Aegean. But even he hadn't noticed the powerful elemental fluctuations that would allow them to teleport before. Neil cultivates the three main systems of fire, qi, and earth. And all three types of magic have teleportation magic, so Neil is very familiar with the elemental fluctuations of teleportation magic, and he is also very familiar with teleportation array magic as he often rides the teleportation array. Either way, the elemental fluctuations produced are very peculiar and easy to perceive. However, the elemental fluctuations generated by the teleportation array with a huge range just now were extremely weak, and they couldn't even catch up with the fluctuations of an intermediate magic. And it has no resemblance at all to the elemental fluctuations of the teleportation magic currently used by the Aegean!
Neil was still concerned about the teleportation magic that he didn't know about, but Joseph and the others were blown up. Several guards held Neil tightly in the center, carefully scanning the surroundings, and Joseph drew his sword and looked around cautiously. Obviously, there are people who are calculating them, and those who dare to calculate the Holy Rank Mages are basically not available in Aiqin personally, and there are only a handful of people who have this ability and courage. But these limited forces are definitely very difficult!
And at this time, they are in the Jiangnan Empire of the Western Regions, and the one who has the most reason, motive and ability to calculate them is undoubtedly the official of the Jiangnan Empire of the Western Regions!
As if to verify the thoughts of Joseph and the others, a white cloud came out of the tower not far away, which seemed to be slow, but in fact it flew extremely fast. It slowly fell more than 100 meters away from the group. The clouds that were originally more than ten meters long gradually converged, and several figures appeared in the clouds.
"Flying clouds!" Neil frowned slightly. Everything in front of him made him have a very bad association. Wanli Feiyun is a unique means of transportation for the royal family in the south of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions. It is a mysterious and powerful cloud-based magic guide that is said to be able to carry a hundred and ten people and fly at a speed that exceeds that of wind-based magic. However, it is rumored to be extremely difficult to make, so it is only used by the royal family of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions. The cloud system is a branch of the qi system, and Neil has always been like getting a convenient and fast means of transportation to study, but the awkward relationship between the two empires of Jiangnan and Francisco in the Western Regions makes this kind of semi-strategic magic guide impossible for him to reach at all.
The clouds and mist of the flying clouds gradually dissipated, revealing the figure inside. At the head was a young man dressed in a brocade robe. Neil recognized at a glance that it was the new emperor of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, the Shenrui Emperor Ye Chenhan. And the more than ten Extreme Dao masters around him with powerful elemental fluctuations like tides proved his identity.
Joseph narrowed slightly. As Sangio, Neil spends most of his time studying magic, and doesn't know much about the top masters of the Aegean. In fact, what deserves his attention are only two or three kittens and puppies of the Holy Order. So although he felt that the elements of the group on the other side were super fluctuating, Neil still couldn't recognize their identities. But Joseph was different! Most of the people on the other side were recognized by him. It was precisely because of this recognition that Joseph became more and more frightened!
The official first samurai of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, Xia Jiayue and Joseph, are old rivals, and they are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to say more. The three major masters of the empire are all here today! Xie Chunyu, the Great Demon Master of the Flame Department, Xu Wenchang, the Great Demon Master of the Cloud Department, and Yang Yongxiu, the Shadow Shadow Cultivator, are rumored to be the Yunshui Double Cultivator of the Holy Rank, and these three people made Joseph sweat in his head.
And the Aegean pirate king Chen Zuyi, Beamon's first knife St. Shaun Michaels, and the second killer of the Aegean to dominate Esteban, the third of the ten Aegean kings, are also characters that Joseph does not dare to take lightly. And the two men in black who disappeared as soon as the clouds and mist cleared, although they didn't have time to observe, but judging from the fact that Joseph couldn't detect their existence at all, they were definitely top players! Among the top assassins of the Francisco Empire, there were less than five people that Joseph had seen such hidden skills! All of them were difficult to deal with!
The head of the Night Emperor's Four Shadows, Yutai Yizhi, is probably the lowest in combat power, but it is rumored that he is not inferior to Yang Yongxiu, the first healer of the Aegean Dynasty, and his treatment methods still make Joseph frown!
Grindelwald Joseph didn't recognize it, but judging from his powerful and strange elemental fluctuations, Joseph was sure that none of the accompanying guard mages were his opponents!
But what really moved Joseph was the last two, one of whom was dressed in white, and his face was as handsome as a crown of jade. Even standing beside Ye Chenhan, who is known as the most handsome emperor of the Aegean, is not far behind! He has an arrogant temperament, as if everything in heaven and earth is not in his eyes! Among Ye Chenhan and his party, only he and Yang Yongxiu do not have the slightest elemental fluctuation on their bodies! Or to put it another way, only the two of them can suppress the elemental fluctuations to the point that even Joseph is difficult to detect! Joseph is already the pinnacle master of the Heavenly Warrior, and he can hide his eyes, and the level can be imagined.
And even Yang Yongxiu and the unknown man in white caused Joseph's mood swings to be inferior to the last person!
The last person looked like he was blonde and blue-eyed of Western descent, with an ordinary appearance, but sharp and angular! If you look closely, the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are still somewhat similar to Joseph. When Joseph saw this person, his eyes immediately widened, and he simply gritted his teeth. Spit out his name word by word: "Hussein!"
The accompanying guard mages and guard warriors were subconsciously stunned when they heard this name, and then looked at the man with a surprised face, no way, this name is really famous in the Francisco Empire!
Francisco is a big empire, there are countless wealthy families, but there are only a handful of people who can really be called an empire-level gate valve. The Reinhardt family, who is known as the first family of the empire, is certainly a big family in the Francisco Empire, but compared with the real gate valve, Reinhardt, who has only risen for more than 300 years, lacks a little bit of background in both military and political circles!
Under the Francisco Empire, the first gate is the Margaret family, a double prince, not to mention the entire Francisco, even the entire Aegean is unique! The Margaret family crisscrosses the military and political worlds of the empire, and its strength and influence are comparable to the status of the Xinjia family in the southern part of the Western Regions before the destruction. It's just that compared to the Reinhardt family, which is widely rumored because of Charlemagne, the first strongest man under the stars, they are much more low-key!
Slightly inferior to the Margaret family are the four major gate valve families, namely Lancelot, Ranmarlock, Bedwell and Grahag. All four of these families are ancient families that existed since the beginning of the empire. Originally, there were 12 wealthy families at the beginning of the establishment of the Francisco Empire, and after 2,000 years of ups and downs. The patriarchs of these four families all have the title of king, have a hereditary territory of tens of thousands of kilometers, and they have a huge influence in the military and political circles. Any power that the four major families can use will not be inferior to a small country!
Joseph's Ranmarok family has always been second only to Lancelot among the four major families, and can be said to be the third largest family in the empire. But in recent years, the family's situation has not been good. A large part of the reason is because of this Hussein in front of you!
Hussein was originally the first in line to the family. At the age of twenty-five, he obtained the title of Heavenly Warrior and was a star in the family. After entering the Heavenly Warrior, Hussein's cultivation speed did not slow down at all, and he had already reached the high level of the Heavenly Warrior in his early thirties. Once hailed as Francisco's most gifted samurai, he was considered one of the most promising young people to advance to the Holy Order!
However, this talented Hussein openly rejected the patriarch's marriage because he was in love with a commoner woman. He even left the family in order to resist the pressure of the family. If that's all there is, although Hussein will be rejected by the family, it is not a big deal. But this Hussein assassinated His Majesty the Emperor Francisco five years ago who was hunting in the royal hunting grounds!
Although it was blocked by His Majesty's Guard, it still dealt a heavy blow to His Majesty the Emperor. The emperor was furious, if it weren't for Hussein's betrayal of the family, the Ranmarok family would have been wiped out under the emperor's anger! But even if Hussein had already betrayed the family, His Majesty the Emperor would not be able to directly burn out his anger. But the impact on the Ranmarok family was huge. Several children of families who originally had real power in the military and political circles either rose and fell secretly, or found faults. All of them have left positions of real power. The Ranmarok family was suddenly reduced to the last of the four major families. And all this is caused by Hussein!
However, after Hussein failed to assassinate the emperor and escaped, he completely disappeared. The empire offered a reward of 10 million gold coins, and he was stunned that he even mastered his deeds. I never expected to appear next to Ye Chenhan.
Hussein was so calm about Joseph's anger that he didn't even look at him more. Joseph only hated the roots of his teeth. No wonder I couldn't find him, I didn't expect him to hide by the emperor's side! The guards of the deep palace in the south of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions were indeed enough to cover Francisco's eyes!
Neil didn't know Hussein, and he didn't even know about Hussein's assassination of the emperor. Although the assassination of the Emperor was an earth-shattering event, the Holy Rank Mage's gestures were earth-shattering.
Therefore, Neil did not look at Hussein, but looked straight at Ye Chenhan, and blessed himself with amplification and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Western Regions Jiangnan came in person, and he also got this seat here, and made such a big battle, I don't know what you are doing?"
"Your Majesty's words are interesting," Ye Chenhan smiled lightly, and naturally there was Scholar Yang beside him to bless him with amplification techniques: "As His Majesty, he entered the realm of Jiangnan in the Western Regions without being informed, and I didn't come to take a look, wouldn't I despise His Majesty too much?"
Neil frowned. The five holy orders of the Aegean, except for Shaun Murphy of the Wizards' Guild and Mo Wenjian who traveled in all directions, the three holy orders just happened to belong to the three empires. Gato Suogui is the emperor, and Ji Lingxia and Neil are both in the name of the emperor, which is indeed quite sensitive. Normally, if you want to enter the country, you have to greet the official! However, Neil suspected that the collapse of the heart family was a conspiracy this time, and came to investigate, so naturally it was impossible to inform the official. So Ye Chenhan's words made him not know how to answer for a while.
"Your Majesty is a guest from afar, if I don't entertain you well, it will be too rude!" Ye Chenhan ignored Neil's embarrassment and continued to smile: "It's better to go to Lingxiao City with me to rest for a while, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord!"
"It doesn't have to be!" Neil refused, "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated by you." There's still a lot of work to go to this seat, and I'm going back!"
"Your Majesty Neil!" Xie Chunyu, a scholar beside Ye Chenhan, said with a smile: "You and your family are guests from afar, since you are guests, you should naturally follow the master's wishes, otherwise you ......"
"How else?" Neil smiled faintly, he was always haughty, and his eyes were above the top. For Xie Chunyu, who was only a high-level Grand Magister, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Otherwise, it will be a villain, and we may not be so polite to a villain!" Xie Chunyu smiled, and there was still a gloom in his tone.
"Hehe, this seat is leaving, who can stop this work?" Neil smiled disdainfully, and as soon as he raised his hand, a dazzling fire flickered.
Ye Chenhan and his party have a strong lineup, if Yang Yong's monk does have the level of the Holy Rank, then it can be said that he is more than one step better than Neil and his party! After all, there is only Joseph who can really be called a top player around Neil, and the remaining guards warriors and guard mages can play a very little role in a real top-level battle. And on Ye Chenhan's side, except for Yutai Yizhi, almost everyone's strength is not below Joseph!
But Neil remained calm and calm, because he was sure that no one could stop him if he wanted to go!
Neil's self-confidence is justified!As a cultivator of three of the four main systems, Neil is proficient in the three major teleportation magics! The leyline teleportation array, the flame teleportation array, and the wind tunnel teleportation array are all magician-level magic. However, due to the complexity and difficulty of the magic structure, it is difficult for ordinary magicians to control. But that's not a problem at all in Neil's face. He can use all three of these magic instantaneously! Not only can he walk by himself, but he can also take Joseph and the others with him. The teleportation magic distance is as high as thousands of kilometers, and unless you know that the teleportation location is also teleported, it is impossible to catch up anyway! For Neil, the only problem is that the reputation of retreating without a fight is not good for a saint-level mage!
However, Neil felt that nothing was wrong today. The firelight flashed, and the group of people who were supposed to be teleported thousands of miles away did not move!
Neil frowned slightly. In his early years, he cultivated flame-based magic, and now that he has become a saint-level, he is still more proficient in flame-based magic, so what he subconsciously flashed just now was the flame teleportation array. But it didn't work!Immediately summoned the Wind Tunnel Teleportation Array again, but it still failed!
On the other side, Ye Chenhan and the others all showed a hint of a smile, and Xie Chunyu said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you want to try your leyline teleportation array again?"
Neil frowned slightly, let go of the perception and sensing around, and did not notice any strange elemental fluctuations, but he didn't know what means Ye Chenhan and the others used to block the teleportation magic! Thinking that Ye Chenhan and the others also appeared on the flying clouds instead of teleportation magic, Neil had some thoughts in his heart. Didn't continue to summon the leyline teleportation array. Instead, he launched an attack directly! As soon as he struck, it was a flame-based grandmaster-level magic, the spear of the god of fire!
