The mirage sky is golden, and it is already sunset.

The carriage was driving on the way to the portal, and the witches were talking enthusiastically, not only did Finney and Tina completely lose the usual-for-tat taste, but even the introverted Insi was like a sparrow. It was difficult for Elle to keep up with the discussion, and several times she tried to recruit parrots, but unfortunately she ran out of time at the market before, and she was so anxious that her face was flushed.

Not to mention them, even Li Qi is full of novelties in the market and restaurants. Everyone's space rings are stuffed to the brim, and their bellies are bulging, so what kind of rock sugar slime, beef-flavored Xinghai squid, and fairy jump~ egg meatballs are really delicious.

Richie and the witches sat in the back of the carriage, and the two fortresses and two demon warriors chatted in the front row.

Finn still isolated a shadow city from Silver City, and was puzzled by the fact that the civilians would not be exposed to the sun.

"Magicians don't completely ignore civilians, materials are free to circulate, and there are no restrictions on the application of magic technology, and they also make illusions to simulate the sun and moon. With this effort, why don't you tear down this barrier and merge with Silver City?"

Finn said regretfully: "Don't talk about Silver City, it's just Shadow City, there are many places that are more advanced than our Beta City, which can make civilians live happier lives." ”

Poppy had the same question: "I remember that on the way to Silver City, there were also many civilians living under the magic towers on those islands, and they were not isolated from magicians like this, could it be that in Silver City, civilians must keep a distance from magicians and not be in contact?"

Dresser and Kramer looked confused, as if they were facing such a question for the first time.

Kramer sighed, "Silver City has been like this for thousands of years, how do we know why?"

Dresses added, "It's been like this for tens of thousands of years, to be exact, when everyone in the Storm Islands lived in Silver City, and then they were separated. It wasn't until the secondary mask was legalized that the major families began to build their own magic towers on various islands. ”

"The materials circulating here are a small part of the harvest from the development of the mage plane, which is distributed to the slaves, and then the slaves take it out and trade. As for the magic guide technique, it was also some down-and-out magicians who couldn't stay in Silver City or other families anymore and brought it to Shadow City to eat. ”

"Silver City is not without supervision of Shadow City, but there is a secondary mask, and magicians can easily monitor all signs of extraordinary power, as long as it is not too harmful, they don't bother to ask. The affairs of Shadow City are in charge of the city council organized by the various guilds, and demon warriors like us, and even some magicians often come to Shadow City, so the order on the surface is very stable, and no one dares to do evil. ”

In short, as long as Shadow City doesn't mess up too much, Silver City doesn't bother to care about it at all, right?

Li Qixin said that this is also in line with the three views of magicians, their pursuit is the power of magic, which is otherworldly. To ask them to care about the well-being of mortals and lead all people on the path to happiness would be against their faith.

When I came to the central square, I found that the teleportation hall was crowded with people, and when I asked, I realized that there was a problem with the teleportation circle and needed temporary repairs. Not only here, but also teleportation circles elsewhere.

Dresses snorted coldly, "It's true that the teleportation circle will be overhauled from time to time, but this time is really a coincidence. ”

Sashina, the blonde who had been following behind, stepped up: "Duke, the situation is not right! I can contact the master and leave the teleportation circle at the bottom of our family's magic tower!"

Not to be outdone, the double ponytail Josie said: "The Duke should go directly to the magic tower where the mansion is located!

"If this is not a coincidence, then the people who attacked us should have been ready on both routes. ”

Richie was not flustered, which was expected.

Saheina and Josie's faces changed, and this possibility was indeed quite likely.

"Our power is suppressed here, but as long as it's not a legend, there's nothing to be afraid of, but ......"

Li Qi sighed: "The Storm Islands are really a strange place, and I believe that the accidents I received today are far from the upper limit, so I really dare not make a big deal in the face of an enemy who has been prepared for a long time." ”

"Duke, I will report to my master immediately and ask her to send someone to answer it!"

"I'll contact the clan and send a team of battle mages!

The two reception commissioners were still fighting for me, and Li Qi said, "It's just right, I'm too lazy to go back to the mansion, and by the way, I can feel the difference in the night in Shadow City." ”

Sashina and Josie tried to persuade them, but Richie waved his hand to stop.

As for the attack, he had already thought about it all.

There must have been an attack, and it was Zold...... No, Zolde shouldn't have reached this level, which is what both Perrot and Hathaway were looking forward to.

Richie doesn't know much about the details of the Storm Isles' sub-mask and Shadow City, but he knows a lot about the politics of the Storm Isles. From Rowanna and other sources, the political map of the major families in the Storm Islands has long been pieced together, as well as the situation of the dark war around the reorganization meeting of the Supreme Council.

In the earth world, you have to do your homework in advance to talk about business, and take the witches to a completely unfamiliar place, how can you not understand the situation clearly.

He came to the Stormed Islands as an observer of the Order Alliance, and smashed into the Stormed Islands chess game as a heavyweight pawn.

The Storm Isles' families prospered on trade with the Okato, and after the overthrow of the Golden Family, these families coalesced into a single group, creating a sharp confrontation with the "Queen's faction" led by the Ted and Menessus families. Naturally, this group sees itself as a thorn in its side and sees its killing as a great opportunity to turn the tide.

On the other hand, how could Ted and the Menesus family let go of the opportunity to fish this group as bait and give it a heavy blow?

As for Perro, he didn't give Vicky to himself for the first time, and that old legend seems to be still riding the wall. But taking the opportunity of his own attack to clarify his position, gain more support from the "queen faction", and at the same time make it not too difficult for the "fragrance faction", this is completely a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone.

In short, from the moment he stepped into Silver City, he was doomed to be attacked.

Attacks cannot be avoided, but that does not mean that they have to accept the arrangements of the other side in terms of time and place.

The reason why I came to Shadow City was because I thought that if the Mildern family's position changed drastically and their mansion was attacked, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Zolde had already sent a message reminding himself to pay attention to safety, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, naturally related to the fact that his father was still riding the wall and he couldn't influence the decision.

As for Hathaway's side, there was not even a word of reminder, Sahina was obviously just a character on the face, and there should be other arrangements in secret.

Richie was still at ease with Hathaway, not trusting her friendship with herself, but trusting her vision and position to tie the future of the wizard to the Alliance of Order.

"Let's find a hotel," Mr. Richie said with a grin, not taking the attack to heart at all.

Based on the above judgments, Li Qi is sure that if there is an attack, there will be no danger.

The carriage turned around and followed Dress's instructions and headed for the crowded city with a concentration of hotels.

Here, Li Qi and others gained a lot of novelties......

The innkeeper knocked on the completely large hive and said, "Don't think it's a hive, it's a bee man's nest, what's the hive?

For bees, made up of countless hexagonal holes, a two-story nest is naturally too large. For people, there is no way to associate it with a "hotel", and even the capsule apartment is much larger than that.

"It's a beehive-style morgue after all," Tina said.

The boss said in a hillbilly tone, "This is from the Beeman Plane, you're in the Shadow City for the first time, haven't you seen it?" ”

From the hexagonal hole that only allows one person to enter and exit, it is suddenly open, it is a small suite, although it is only thirty or forty square meters, it is enough for one or two people to live. And the installation is good, almost up to the standard of a 4-star hotel.

This "Hive Hotel" turned out to be a space magician, in principle, the same as the magic villa that Rowanna gave to Aurora, of course, the degree of luxury and the proportion of space compression are much worse.

Li Qi drilled out and beckoned, "Let's go." ”

Not only was the divine power suppressed even more severely inside, but if the assassin directly used his hands and feet on the entire hive, maybe the whole person would be cut into countless pieces by the shattered space, and he didn't know what the assassin looked like.

The innkeeper behind him muttered and muttered, "Sure enough, it's a hillbilly......"

The carriage continued on the street, and while the people were still sitting in the carriage, a string of light and shadow swayed slightly, and turned into the narrow street.

After a while, a group of people came out of the shadows, divided into two groups, and it was not obvious that they were a group, and the color of their clothes changed completely.

Li Qi and others used a stand-in puppet to impersonate themselves, and then used an invisibility cloak to change direction and change clothes to cover their whereabouts. Don't expect to get rid of trackers completely, you can delay a little time.

Finney taunted Richie: "Three silver pennies will also be repaid!"

Josie and Sakhina tugged at their clothes, looking unaccustomed to it, and it seemed that they rarely did such things. Li Qi is even more sure that these two girls who have no security knowledge and counter-espionage skills are just vases given to him by both sides to activate relationships, and the real security forces have not shown up.

"Dress!?Are you Dresses?You're still alive!"

The Demon Warrior and the Fortress, who were walking in front, stopped and actually met an acquaintance of Dress.

"Are you looking for a hotel? I'm running a hotel, there's a room! Come on, Dress, let's meet again after a long absence, just to talk." ”

The other party was a rickety half-old man, and considering that it was a complete encounter, Richie nodded to Dress, and the group followed to the inn deep in the street.

"Moshiu-Iptenni, formerly a battle mage, comes from the Iptoni family. The Ipteni family is a vassal of the Sulomon family, and betrayed the Sulomon family during the Golden Revolution, but many of the family's battle mages and demon warriors were disposed of because they were not trusted in the Sulomon family's guard. ”

"I heard that he and many others were exiled to the Undercity, but I didn't expect him to open a hotel here, someone in the family should have protected him. ”

Dressy whispered to Richie to introduce the man, and finally added, "He used to be on the same team as me and was my squadron leader. ”

At this time, the moon is shining, and the street is already very deserted, but the entrance of the hotel is crowded with people, and it is very lively.

Seeing that these people were all a couple with a teenage child, shouting and fighting for the room, Li Qi was in a trance, is this the high school entrance examination or the art examination?

Moshiwu led Li Qi and the others through the crowd, and these couples suddenly became excited.

"Didn't you say there was no room, how could they live in it!?"

"yes, why, your inn is too bullying!"

"My brother is the battle mage of the Stillly family, beware of me calling him to teach you what fairness is!"

Shouting and shouting, someone stepped forward to stop them, causing the crowd to push and push.

Ouch actually provoked the anger of the crowd by going through the back door......

Li Qi was speechless, Sakhina snorted coldly, pulled her hands, and the arc crackled and flickered, startling the crowd outward.

"Magician!"

"No, it's a battle mage!"

"That's amazing!"

There was an empty space around her, and Sakhina smiled at Li Qi as if she was invited, and Li Qi opened her mouth and didn't scold the "idiot".

has already caused a commotion in the crowd, and it is just the icing on the cake to come back like this, so I don't bother to bother with her.

Just as he was about to ask what the situation was, Dressy patted his head and suddenly said, "I just remember, these few days are the selection day of the Supreme Council." ”

Moshiwu, who led the way in front, said: "Yes, the fate of the family is all pinned on the child, and if you are selected, you can become a demon warrior or even a battle magician." Parents want their children to sleep well, eat well, and take care of all the details. Even if it's just a detail that goes wrong, it's like losing a crucial point. ”

"Kids?"

Finney asked puzzledly, "Look at them older than me, didn't you say that the Demon Warriors have been taking potions since they were five or six years old?"

Dressy said, "Yes, Temple...... Miss, those children outside are five or six years old. ”

"Huh!?"

Not to mention Finney, even Ellie was dumbfounded.

There were two of them, one was 1.3 meters and the other was 1.4 meters, and the shortest of the children outside was 1.4 meters and looked bigger than them.

"Young Master is the first time to come to Shadow City", Moshiwu turned around, revealing a wrinkled face, "You don't know yet, the children of the Storm Islands develop quickly, and of course they age quickly. If I didn't have magic, I would have lived to be thirty or forty years old, and guess how old I am?"

Finney and Elle shook their heads, originally guessing, but when they said this, they were completely uncertain.

Moshiu smiled, "I'm Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today......"

Looking at his mouth, which was already missing half of his teeth, Li Qixin said that even if he is sixty-two, he is not as old as you.

Tina next to her thought of something and asked Sahena, "How old are you?"

The blonde said, "Twelve, what's wrong?"

Li Qi, Fei Ni, Elle and even Insi stroked their foreheads at the same time, thinking that they were a royal sister......

Josie snorted, "I'm thirteen, older than you!"

That's pretty normal.

Finney looked at Sahina, then at Josie, her eyes on the top of their heads and chests, and then she pursed her lips and snorted hatefully.

Li Qi and the others were arranged on the highest floor of the hotel, the room was not large, and the installation was very simple, but it was quite clean.

After making the necessary arrangements, Li Qi entered the room with the four witches.

"Look at the situation," Richie said to Tina.

Tina nodded, pulled out the crystal scythe with both hands, closed her eyes, and began to probe her surroundings.

In the carriage, she noticed that someone was following her, but it was not convenient to observe it closely.

"I don't believe it......"

The divine power was suppressed, and the detection was affected, and Tina gritted her teeth and used all her strength, and the scythe flashed with crystal light.

"I found several teams of people, two teams centered on us, surrounded by a kilometer away without moving, all of them are magicians and demon warriors, very powerful, maybe all heroic peaks. ”

This should be the security force of Hathaway and others, and it is estimated that the beacons are Saheina and Josie, so that they can accurately locate their locations.

"There were also two teams of people swimming two or three kilometers away, professionally ...... It's messy, it's all above the hero level, and it's supposed to be looking for our traces. There was a group of people who were so close to the lurking people, almost stacked on top of each other, that they didn't react. ”

Sure enough, the instructions these people received were not to stop the attack, but to guarantee that Li Qi and the others would not be killed. Richie felt that if the attackers could not find a trace of him, they might still be secretly directing.

"I'll take a look at the underground ......"

Tina's vigilance is so vigilant that she won't let go of the directions that are most easily overlooked.

"Huh...... What a strange power, it's another barrier, and below is the Underground City?"

"This barrier can't stop me, I'll see ......"

Hey, curiosity kills......

Li Qi was about to remind her that Tina's scream made the scythe shatter into crystals, and the person collapsed on the ground and trembled.

"Weird...... Blame ......"

Her eyes were unfocused, her mouth was foaming at the mouth, and she was still muttering like a dream.

Damn, curiosity kills pointy ears!
