Mint asked, "Here... Wasn't it a dam in the first place? How could it be suddenly... What has it become? ”

"It should be a dam" After observing Vasily, who was not a local obsesser, he came to the conclusion that "you see, although it is made of stone, the location of the port cave is the same as the previous dam, and the shape of the wall is very similar to that of the dam"

Minter took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, and he understood a little: "It must have been magic!" Didn't you say that a large number of magicians came to Ori? Yes, magic can't be turned into something out of thin air, but if you change the appearance of something that was originally there, it's still fine, and the magic cost is not large! ”

Vasily nodded: "It should be so, but it's also remarkable...", he looked ahead, saw that the high wall stretched far away, and sighed, "Could it be... Even on the surface of the Barrow River, there is such a high wall, right? ”

This possibility is very high, because from the direction of the extension of the wall, it can be seen that it has been crossing the position of the bed of another river in the distance, if the wall on the river here is changed from the dam, then the wall over there is completely conjured out of thin air, which shows that the power of the magician in Shaonan is really strong

The two of them kept admiring there, and the colleagues of the Security Department who followed behind couldn't help but remind: "Don't look at it, let's find a way to cross the river, now there is not a single boat, do you want to take the land route?" ”

Mint and Vasily came to their senses, and the latter frowned and said, "There is no way, if you can't cross the river, you can only spend half a day more and go around to the other side of the mountain and enter from behind the town, but..."

Minter understood his hesitation, if it was usual, of course it would be fine to walk like this, but now that there is such a wall, who knows if the other side of the mountain can be passed?

In the midst of his annoyance, he caught a sharp glimpse of two boats on the other side of the river, and cried out happily: "Look over there! There are boats! He ran a few steps forward and shouted at the two boats: "Boatman! This way! We're going to cross the river! ”

One of the two boats was carrying more than a dozen people carrying luggage, and the other empty boatman waved when he heard the call, and then held the boat over and waited for him to get closer, Mint stepped forward and wanted to speak but found that the man was a little familiar, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Uncle Pauldorman?!" Didn't you go to the Magic Capital? How could it be here?! "It was the boatman who sent him and his grandfather to the Magic Capital

But the person concerned was a little confused: "Young man, do I know you?" ”

Minter then remembered that he was now dressed as a boy and coughed a few times: "I rode your boat when I was a child, but you probably don't remember"

Baodeman was relieved when he heard this: "I have carried not ten thousand, but also eight thousand, of course, I can't remember everyone, but..."

This time it was Vasily's turn to cough, and Minter hurriedly changed the subject: "Uncle Baodeman, we are going to the town of Orly, please give us a ride."

"No problem!" Baodman responded very cheerfully: "Get on the boat, the sun is about to set, and the river is not allowed to sail at that time, and today is the last day of navigation, and the river will be completely closed from tomorrow."

Minter had some doubts in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to lead the boat, and when the boat set off, he asked Baodeman what was going on with the river, and the latter smiled: " This is the magicians came up with a way to turn the original dam into a stone city wall, so that those monsters will not dare to come, these days, as soon as it gets dark, the river is blocked, the first day is an earthen dam on the surface of the Barrow River, and then it becomes a stone ground, the next day this city wall is connected, I heard that in two days, this wall will extend to the Senluo River Valley, and this side is extended to the border line, which is about 10,000 kilometers! ”

Tens of thousands of kilometers? Minter suddenly felt that this statement seemed familiar, had he heard it somewhere?

Before he could come up with it, Vasily asked, "Although the city wall is very long and strong, what if the demonic beast bypasses the wall and invades directly from somewhere else?" And, can you really build a wall that long? There's always a gap, right? ”

Baodman smiled: "Everyone thinks like you, but in fact, since the invasion of the sand pirates, the Shaonan people have learned to be smart, their army is not good, they can only rely on magic, that dam is not a mess of repair!" It turns out that the Shaonan people build dams on each river, which can prevent floods and droughts on the surface, but in fact, all the dam locations are carefully designed When the war comes, the magicians will turn the dams into city walls, connecting them together to prevent the enemy from invading from Ori, all the way to Yini, there are five or six of these defense lines, and south of Yini, there are also a few, and the large harbor in the south is equipped with countless boats, ready to sail at any time, even if the monster really comes, the Shaonan people have a way to retreat

When the people heard this, they all sighed, and by this time the ship had come under the wall, and Baodeman greeted the guard at the head of the wall, who asked his name, and asked who was on board, and Vasily stood up and answered, and the soldier hurriedly turned back and asked the entrance to the harbor cave, so that the ship could enter the river

Minter looked carefully at the surface of the stone at the top of the harbor cave, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was indeed the texture of the stone, but the texture was very similar to wood, it seemed that the wood was really turned into stone by magic, but once this magic lost the support of magic, it was easy to fail, and when the time came, would this wall collapse or be reduced to a wooden dam?

Passing through the harbor cave, everyone's eyes lit up, there were many small boats coming and going on the wide river, transporting arrows, swords and other things to the city wall, and on the surface of the Barrow River, sure enough, the city wall also appeared, and it was integrated with the tributary side of the river, there were countless soldiers running back and forth on the river bank in front, hundreds of tents were neatly arranged on the original field, and the soldiers and people wearing magic robes shuttled between the tents in the town of Ori on the left, and it had changed its appearance The lively scene at the dock was gone, only three or two boats remained, A few soldiers stood at the water's edge and looked around, catching a glimpse of the boat, and kept an eye on it

When the ship docked, the soldiers immediately came up to Baodman to register, it turned out that in order to prevent people from sailing privately during the no-sailing period, all ships must be under unified management, Baodman did not care, asked where his ship docked, then led everyone ashore, turned around and said to them with a smile: "The foreign friends who came to help in Ori are all living in one hotel, yo!" I'm just going to take you there, right? ”

Vasily smiled and nodded, and Mint jumped over happily: "Thank you, uncle, you are so nice!" Baodeman chuckled and led them into town

The current town of Orry is very different from the town that I passed before, the original lively streets are much more deserted, the people who pass by are transporting supplies in trolleys, and there are no women and children, I asked Baodman, only to know that since this place was declared the front line, all the old people, women and children have been moved to the rear to the village and town safely, leaving only the men to help with the logistics Baodman himself was also recruited because he was a professional boatman, and from tomorrow, he will be on standby with other colleagues, Ready to carry people to the rear at any time to the inn fixed for outsiders, Baodman greeted the innkeeper and was about to leave, before leaving, he smiled at Minter and the others, and said: "I am gone, you will not run away from my boat" and then looked at Vasily a few more times: "It is really familiar, where have you seen it?" ”

Everyone in the security team laughed dryly, saw him off and then turned back into the room, looking for someone to find someone Vasily was going to report to the local governor and ask Minter what his plans were, Minter remembered that this inn was for outsiders, and since a large number of magicians had arrived here, would Alex also live in? Then he said: "I still have a task to find someone, you go by yourself, remember to report my name"

Vasily nodded and agreed to leave, and Minter turned to ask the shopkeeper, "Do you have a young magician named Alex living here?" I'm looking for..."Before he could finish speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from the corridor next to him: "... Use more snacks when you work, and don't be sloppy, you know? "Yes, Father, go back to your room and rest."

Minter's eyes widened as he looked at Father Riddle and Ivan who came out of the corridor, surprised and delighted: "Priest?!" How did you end up here? Are you alright? Hurt?! ”

Father Riddle turned his ugly face and immediately recognized Minter, with a smile on his face: "It's you, little Minna, it's great to see you, I'm fine, the injury is all right!" He stretched out his red hand to Minter, and he could see that the wound on it had been scarred, but Minter was a little distressed when he saw it, and he didn't even correct the other party's "wrong" name

Ivan showed a confused expression next to him: "You... Isn't it called Minter? How did it become Minna? Father Riddle smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You can leave this alone, go ahead" Ivan went with a puzzled expression

Minter stepped forward and hugged Father Riddle: "How did you come here?" I heard that Van A Suoguo, I thought you had already returned to China, but I didn't expect to meet here, did you come from Enke City? ”

Father Riddle nodded: "I can't bear the children, they are not Brahmans, they can't follow me back, so they stay in Encore, later, a few children working in Pharadis are not at ease, they must let me leave, I took everyone to Auri Originally, they wanted me to go to the land of Pharadis, but I saw that the people here were preparing for the war, and I wanted to make a difference, so I stayed with a few old children, and the small ones were sent to Faradis, so we don't need it"

Minter looked closely at his slightly pale face, "You must have suffered a lot, right?" Did those bad guys really hurt you? ”

Father Riddle smiled and gently stroked his injured forearm: "It's just a little bit of suffering, they are actually being used to get them out of their manic mood and return to calm, which is the responsibility of our monks"

Minter took out a bottle of magic leaves, wiped them for him, and watched the scars fade away, Riddle hurriedly stopped him: "My injuries are healed, don't waste them, now we have to fight, keep it for those who need it"

Minter was about to persuade him, but heard the shopkeeper calling to himself, "Guest, are you looking for Alex the Magician?" He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Alex standing in front of the counter, looking at himself with a surprised expression, walking two steps, catching a glimpse of Father Riddle beside him, and his surprise was even deeper: "You... How could it be here?! ”

"Aren't you little Mandheling? Why aren't you in Van Ah? Father Riddle was equally amazed

But no one can compare to Minter's shock at this time: "Mandheling?!" Alex, are you from the Mandheling family?! ”

Alex restrained the look on his face and raised his chin: "What? Isn't it possible? What about my last name, Mandheling? Didn't you tell me the truth? Mr. Shawmint! ”

Minter glared at him, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled: "Okay, we didn't tell the truth, it's even, but..." Is it collateral or descendant? You treat my grandfather..."

Alex turned his head: "He made my aunt miserable, but this is a matter between them, I don't care!" ”

Minter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't expect that Alex was actually from the Mandheling family, and he was also the nephew of Miss Elena, but the two had been fighting together for so long, and when facing Warcraft, they had fought together back to back, and if they turned against each other because of each other's surnames, then the original friendship would become a joke He smiled and patted Alex on the shoulder: "Okay, I can't take care of grandpa's affairs, we will still be good partners in the future!" ”

Alex snorted, and in agreement, Minter gave him a blank look, and pulled him and Riddle into the room, who kept smiling at them, sat down after entering the room, and asked Alex, "Didn't you learn light magic from the archbishop?" How did you come to Shaonan? ”

Alex's eyes were red: "Teacher... passed away..."

"What?!" Riddle was shocked, "Why haven't I heard of it?!" ”

"In order not to cause panic among the people, the funeral was held in a low-key manner, but I couldn't attend..."Alex said uncomfortably, "they... Suspect that I have something to do with the murderer, and want to deport me"

"Murderer?!" Riddle and Minter shouted at the same time, hurriedly asking what was going on
