Chapter 5 The Red Flame That Blooms in the Rain
Nightdock Magic Lighthouse,
As the leading tower defense information defense line in the magic capital, most of the navigation information of various flying magic energy vehicles is sent from here.
Of course, the biggest function of the Magic Lighthouse is the information network that can cover the entire Magic Capital, and the most advanced projection device on Xia Guoming's face is also on the tower, but it is rarely used because it is usually used to transmit information.
But tonight's tower isn't too peaceful.
"Lao Wang, how is the circuit inspection over there?"
"Don't worry, it's just the aging problem of the ordinary magic energy device, and you need to replace the thunder magic energy stone that supplies power here in the main box and went to the warehouse, so it's a little slower, but there is a magic wheel worker, it's not a problem."
"That's good, I thought something was wrong with you going for so long!"
"Hey, you still don't know me after so many years, it's just a small problem, you are busy first, and my side will finish it soon."
"Okay, then you pay attention to safety, it's raining outside, I'll hang up first."
"Well, I'll take notice."
"This Lao Li, really, it's still the same after so many years, but the Lei Neng Stone in this total box is consumed fast enough, and it only took a few days before the energy was exhausted and aging, Xiaogong handed me the tools, Xiaogong, Xiaogong, what's wrong with you, Xiaogong, are you there?"
Lao Wang just put down the pager, shook his head and complained that Lao Li was making a fuss, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, where did his demon pet go?
Maybe people really have the so-called dark induction, and this too calm atmosphere will always reveal a little weirdness.
Lao Wang turned his head slowly, and the first thing he saw when he turned back was a black gear-like magic pet magic wheel worker who fell to the ground and a mysterious black shadow standing quietly behind him, silent.
"It's raining, Master Wang, please rest for a while! Don't worry, it's just a matter of sleep, and this baptism of rain will end soon. β
The dark blue gaze of the demon pet flashed in the shadows, and a black mist rushed out of the darkness directly, wrapping around the middle-aged man wearing the work clothes in the tower.
"Ahh
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Some people say that the rain at night always gives people a cold feeling, but this statement may not be very suitable for the magic capital.
This is a busy city, the word silence seems to have nothing to do with the magic capital at night, when the black hangs over the whole city, it has another new name - the city that never sleeps, the light of the day has not yet descended in front of this stage, and the performance under the rain curtain ushers in its first climax with the arrival of the last Mojing high-speed train tonight.
It is not for nothing that it is known as the gate of the magic capital on the sea, where you can see people from different countries, different skin colors, and different languages naturally mingle together to communicate, work, live, and friends from all over the world gather together harmoniously like a family, well, at least on the surface.
"Oh! My esteemed Mr. Drake, I really didn't expect us to be so fated to meet in this beautiful night rain, and I think it must have been the arrangement of the Supreme God. β
As the director of the Economic Division of a region at the gate of the magic capital, Zhou Wen knows very well what kind of energy an ancient family that has stood in the world economic system for nearly a thousand years has it, Kardiman Derek, just by virtue of this name, is already worth a lot of people's investment, if he can catch the big ship of the Kardiman family, then Director Zhou feels that the position under his ass can rise at least two steps, this is not that he feels good about himself, you must know that Xia Guo's current promotion is all based on political performance, The entry of a 100 billion group is enough to drive the development of economic resources in a small region to a higher level, not to mention a thousand-year-old family with a complete economic chain, and the influence behind it should not be underestimated.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Zhou, I have long heard that the beautiful scenery of your country is unparalleled in the world, but I didn't expect that even the rain scene of the magic capital at night is so beautiful.
The foreign old man in the rain is very talkative, and he does not despise others because of his identity, even between his gray eyebrows, he seems to be able to see that he is young and handsome, oh, it seems that this is an old man with a story.
He doesn't have the tall figure of those foreigners on TV, but this well-proportioned figure with a black suit shows that he is extraordinarily energetic, which is probably what people call temperament, no brand-name clothes and no golden hand-worn watches, only a pair of white gloves and an old cane clutched in the rain to look particularly low-key.
On the other hand, the black bodyguard on the side, medium and strong, but it seemed to hide a shocking explosive force, Zhou Wen could even feel the sharp gaze hidden under the black sunglasses, and the straight and regular standing posture under the black suit looked like the real elite who had stayed in the barracks, and the hand holding the umbrella for the old man behind his back did not move.
"Oh, that's really a coincidence, not to mention anything else, I'm a native of the Demon City, and I know the scenery and attractions of the Demon Capital well, so it's a treasure, Mr. Derek If you need it, I'm ready to help."
Director Zhou's smile was even brighter, as if he had seen a "golden avenue" leading straight to the sky in front of him, just like a businessman would not be unable to get along with money, and no director would be unable to get along with his political achievements.
"Boom! Bang! β
The rain seemed to be heavier at night, and thunder was called to help, and even in the densely populated magic capital, there were not many people in the streets at this time.
Jiafu supermarket is also a famous supermarket in the magic capital, even if it is rainy, there are nearly three-digit foreign friends shopping in it, Director Zhou also brought two children to shop This time I happened to meet Mr. Dereck, but we are on the rise Director Zhou obviously forgot something.
"Ziyue, hurry up! Now it's raining heavily. β
The girl cautiously poked her head out of the supermarket gate, as if she wanted to see the size of the rain, but her hair was accidentally disturbed by the raindrops, and the single ponytail was lying directly on the pink jacket but showed a different kind of vitality.
"Yaoyao, wait for me! It's rare that today's "Jiajiafu" supermarket is on sale, and you won't suffer a lot if you don't buy it! You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, but my sister is already self-reliant. β
The chubby Qiu Ziyue walked out slowly behind with a large bag and a small bag like a penguin, and it was difficult to lift so many things for her chubby figure.
Of course, what's even more pitiful is the same big bag and small bag full of camera dogs, you must know that the little guy's companion magic tool is an unclear camera!
"Alas! My uncle didn't know where he went, so he knew that he was unreliable, if only my brother were here, he used to buy things. β
Chen Yingyao, who struggled to fight against the rain in her hair and then to no avail, helplessly kicked her little leather boots, she suddenly missed the days when her brother was there, if he was at home, at least he wouldn't let his lovely sister carry so many things alone in this weather.
"Oh! Isn't that our uncle? Who is our uncle talking to, that foreigner is so familiar! I seem to have seen him on TV. β
Qiu Ziyue, who is still engaged in journalism, has sharp eyes, and at a glance he sees Zhou Wen talking happily with people by the bridge.
"Qiu Ziyue, that's my uncle! Really, my uncle didn't say a word to us when he went out! Uncleβ! β
Chen Yingyao also shook her head helplessly for this old uncle who often deviated, and just wanted to shout, but felt the cuffs tighten, and when she looked back, Qiu Ziyue's little chubby hand directly grabbed her sleeve tightly, as if she had found something, and swallowed her saliva violently
"Yaoyao, am I mistaken, the sea is on fire on a rainy day?"
From a distance, fine raindrops fell on the surface of the sea, and where the dark clouds met the sea, a red flame burned in the rain.
