Chapter 185: Understanding the Situation
"I'll talk about this later, I have something to say to you. ”
**
Raphael, who was leaning against the window, looked smiling, floating outside the window, with no intention of coming in.
Clearly, he was still immersed in the exhilarating sensation of his first flight.
"I'm still looking for you for something!"
Alan actually wanted to ask about the cause and effect of Raphael's breakthrough, but he had more important things to ask.
Raphael smiled and said, "You say first, what is it?"
"How did I get out of there?" Allen's eyes burned, and the question he asked was simple and clear.
This question has been bothering him for several days, and he has not given up thinking and investigating the matter since he woke up, as well as other questions.
However, everything else has more or less become more or less obvious with his investigation, but he is puzzled by the fact that he has somehow escaped from the underground world.
He was carried out of the secret room by Raphael, and all witnesses said so, but Raphael disappeared inexplicably after he sobered up, and searched all the taverns in the bay but did not find him, and did not know where he went.
Alan was about to give up looking for him, but now this guy jumped out on his own.
"How did you get out there?"
Hearing this question, Raphael's face was strange: "You ask me, I ask who to go, I haven't figured it out yet." ”
It's like you don't know anything...
Alan couldn't believe it, thinking that Raphael was joking with him, but Raphael's appearance at this time was serious, which couldn't help but make him hesitate.
"Then I..."
"You floated out on your own. ”
Raphael said: "I was cracking the magic circle, and then I felt something unusual in the magic circle, and then, you floated out from below. ”
Alan still knew about the magic array, and he originally thought that the blue lake was a special place formed by nature, but after inquiring with Charles, he was told that it was artificial.
This made his teeth itch with a little hatred, because if it weren't for that thing, he would have woken up and left the underground world a long time ago, how could he still be at a loss?
However, he had guessed that his escape might also be due to the mages, so he wasn't prepared to trouble them, and now looking at Raphael's appearance, it seems that he didn't save himself....
Alan looked at Raphael thoughtfully, thinking of some prank ideas in his heart.
Under the silence, the middle-aged mage was a little hairy by his evil eyes, so he began to say to himself: "You seem to have been dragged out by a piece of light at that time, and the light in that place is very different, and I can't see it clearly. ”
"Radiance?"
Alan perked up and hurriedly asked, "What kind of light?"
"It's golden, but it's lighter. Raphael frowned and recalled: "It's like.... It's like...."
He seemed to be looking for a figurative word, but Alan had already ignored the words from his mouth for the time being, because Raphael's description made him naturally think of the spots on his body!
"It seems to be a faint gold... Dark gold?"
He looked down and rolled up the sleeves at his wrists to make sure, but when he showed the area below his wrists, how could the smooth appearance still have the strange spots before?
"Why did it suddenly disappear?" Alan wondered.
"What suddenly disappeared?" Raphael was meditating there, and subconsciously raised his head when he heard the words, looking at him blankly.
"Nothing. ”
Naturally, it was impossible for Alan to talk to Raphael about his strange "skin disease", because it seemed to involve his own experience in the underworld.
So he waved his hand, and seeing that Raphael seemed to want to ask, he hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, you said that you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?"
Raphael looked at him suspiciously, trying to see something on his face, but he didn't see anything hidden except for the inexplicably wicked eyes.
So he had no choice but to answer Allen's question: "To be precise, it was Elder Momiji who was looking for you." ”
"Elder Momiji looking for me?" Alan thought of the old woman who was chattering, and subconsciously rolled his eyes: "What is she looking for me? is it because of the underground world? Or is it because of the big hole under the secret room?"
"Probably all or neither. ”
Raphael, who was floating outside the window, shrugged his shoulders: "If it were me, I would probably find out what happened to that secret room, and then I would be curious about what happened to your kid below, but Elder Momiji is not the same as us normal people, and her thoughts are probably only known to her." ”
"Okay. Alan chuckled, he wanted to ask for something else, such as time and place, but Raphael's burning gaze on the other side was a little speechless.
"What do you think I'm doing like that?" he touched his face, looking inexplicable.
"I've said it so obviously, do you want me to continue to say anything?" Raphael raised an eyebrow, "Can't you satisfy the curiosity of your faithful friend?"
Apparently, he was asking about what happened to Allen.
"Curiosity kills cats. Alan was a little reluctant to say it, wanting to change the subject.
"I'm not a cat. ”
Raphael seemed genuinely interested, and looked desperate: "Is there any secret in it?"
"Yes, yes, no, no, no ”
Saying this casually, Alan felt that there was nothing to hide, so under Raphael's inquiring gaze, he briefly talked about what happened in the secret room and underground.
This is, of course, a cut version, for example, he didn't say what exactly the treasure in the secret room was, and why the loyal chief of the guard would suddenly betray.
For example, Alan really just survived in the underground world for an unknown amount of time, and then inexplicably came out without any twists and turns and accidents?
"Is it really that bland?" Raphael didn't believe it, but he could see that Alan was obviously really reluctant to say more about these things, so he didn't ask any more questions, but got down to business: "The elders will arrive at the bay in five days, and the local store will still be a grocery store, and I'll take you there then." ”
"Okay" Alan nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Are you mage towers very poor?"
"Why do you say that?" asked Raphael, curiously.
"The upstairs of the grocery store is like a shabby hotel, damp and dark, and a slightly wealthier mercenary wouldn't live there. "Alan is serious about the environment in which the mage lives.
Raphael rolled his eyes: "What do you know, we are doing penance, exercising the will, and it is good for the cultivation of magic power." ”
"Is that really the case?" Alan doesn't believe in so-called penance or anything, who would have nothing to do with that condition to find guilt for himself?
Facing Allen's suspicious gaze, Raphael persevered for a while, and finally lost the battle, touching his nose with a wry smile.
"Okay, it's true that it's poor, but it's not that poor, it's just that Elder Dere, who is in charge of logistics, doesn't feel the need to be extravagant and wasteful. ”
"That's right!" Alan squinted and nodded, and the words in his mouth provoked Raphael's angry eyes, but he didn't care about it, and began to babble:
"I mentioned to you before that I was going to hire mages, didn't you say that the mage tower would not restrict the freedom of mages, so can you help me contact them? I want to set up some mage research organizations and guard organizations in the bay, and I haven't thought about the specifics yet, but no matter what, it will definitely require a lot of mages to participate, so you can tell them that the salary is good, and the food and accommodation are included..."
At the end of Allen's speech, he suddenly remembered something, and changed the topic and said, "By the way, are you sure to put a big-character poster on me?"
Raphael was pondering what Alan had just said, and subconsciously replied when he heard the words: "I don't know, I didn't go back to the tower, probably posted." ”
Alan asked, "How many mages are there in your mage tower?"
"It won't be less than a thousand, the exact number is unknown, didn't I tell you about this before, what's wrong?" Raphael came back to his senses slightly.
"It's nothing, it's just a casual ask" Alan said this when he said this, there was nothing unusual on the surface, but he was very puzzled in his heart.
If there would be no less than a thousand, then why did he only harvest about seven hundred energy masses?
Since beating him in the underground with a large number of extractions, his six-pointed star has been stuck in the stage of gray gift accumulation energy, or the slow growth rate, Alan wants to extract the white one, so naturally he has no intention of opening it.
But after so many days, his six-pointed star has not yet accumulated to white, and has been hovering in the gray stage!
Obviously, this is not the speed that Allen expected, in his expectation, after pasting his big-character poster in a conspicuous place, not to mention everything, at least ninety percent of the mages should be able to see it, why did it suddenly go out except for the first outbreak?
"The mages are used to staying at home for many days?"
"Or are there not that many people in the Mage Tower?"
"It can't be eaten by that black gift, right?"
"I guess the old lady cut corners and turned out to be dumb..."
Thinking of the nervous old woman, Alan felt that his last guess was still more reliable, and then he decided to mention it again the next time he saw her.
The purpose of contacting the mage is to harvest the energy group, otherwise how could Eren let her be on call? He didn't respect the old and love the young to the point of obedience.
Allen, who was secretly pondering and complaining, would not know that the old mage did not cut corners, but did a very perfect, even sensational effect.
However, it's not a good thing to be too perfect, the old mage made a lot of noise, and was stopped angrily by the other elders of the mage tower, so the two almost fought, and were watched by countless mages, and the scene was very lively.
Then the mages were attracted and diverted by some old stories gushing out of the mouths of the two elders, and they were still talking about it, so they naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the "big-character posters" that had no connotation and had disappeared
In addition, the old mage is more forgetful, and he forgot about this stubble directly after the quarrel, and Allen's matter is over....
