"I said, I'm really afraid of getting you in trouble." Hearing Uncle Lei say that the environment was remote, Zhou Yao couldn't help but complain.

The gate was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the carriage was getting faster and faster, and there were four guards guarding the gate, plus the barricades placed in front of the gate, which was the full force of the obstacle.

It was said that it was a barricade, but it was just a wooden fence, and it was simple, and probably the guards would not have thought that someone would dare to break into the city gate, and they were a little caught off guard by the rushing carriage.

However, there was a guy who looked like a captain who was not afraid of danger, and commanded the remaining three people to close the city gate behind him, and he himself raised his left hand and whispered a spell, a layer of light blue translucent barrier rose from the ground, like glass and crystal, it looked very defensive, obviously he thought that the crude barricades could not stop the menacing Uncle Lei at all, and he couldn't even complete the task of delaying time.

"Hold on!" Uncle Lei, who was sitting in front of the carriage, said loudly, and one of his free arms also began to condense magic.

"Don't you want to be so exciting!" Zhou Yao said helplessly, hurriedly hugged Lei Ruxue with one hand and grabbed the doorknob with the other. Sakiya is even more directly spiritualized and disappeared into the carriage. made Zhou Yao a little envious.

"Leaping Thunder!"

The pale golden magic bullet like a thunderball shot straight out, the beating arc seemed to be wrapped around it, and a thin tail dragged behind it like a free electric tadpole.

The gatekeeper who erected the barrier magic didn't expect that the other party was also a magician, and the magic released was obviously powerful, and he saw that it was not good, and hurriedly threw down the barrier and ran to the side.

The lightning bomb hit the barrier and exploded into fragments instantly, and the scattered electric light quickly expanded to the surroundings, and the barricade was burned to ashes without even a little resistance.

"Let's go!" Uncle Lei laughed loudly, and the horsewhip shook hard.

The neighing sound of the horse, and the guards who were hiding to the side in embarrassment could only watch Zhou Yao and his party rush through the city gate that had not had time to close.

"Whew, I really pinched a cold sweat."

As the carriage drove safely into Yode City, Zhou Yao touched his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling a slight struggle in his arms, he quickly let go of his arm.

"I'm sorry, Ru Xue, I'm afraid you'll get hurt." Zhou Yao sincerely apologized.

"Well, I understand, thank you, Brother Yao." Lei Ruxue blushed and shook her head, and said with a smile.

"What a gentleman, master." Sakuya returned to the carriage and said in a teasing-sounding tone.

"You have to take care of it!" Zhou Yao glared at her.

The gentleman in his dictionary is the same as the gentleman (bian) scholar (tai), and Sakiya is scolding him at a turn.

As the people on the road came and went as they drove into the city, Uncle Lei had to slow down the carriage so as not to hurt the innocent.

Zhou Yao also had the opportunity to officially enjoy the city's scenery.

Sure enough, the big city is not the level of prosperity that can be compared to the small town, the road is lined with tall and slender street lamps, the bright light dispels the darkness for Yode City, and on both sides of the street are the shops with magnificent decorations, compared with the grocery store of Zhou Yao's family, it is a heaven and an underground.

Passers-by wear all kinds of clothing, some modern, some ancient, some Chinese, some Western, so that Zhou Yao has the feeling of walking into the Cultural Grand View Garden.

"I'll take you to the place where you live to settle down in a while, and I'll go to an old friend to solve the matter just now, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Uncle Lei turned his head and said.

Sure enough, he has friends who are easy to do, and breaking into the city gate is not a whim for him.

"The carriage in front stops!"

Suddenly, a loud sound sounded in the street, attracting the attention of everyone in the neighborhood.

Zhou Yao looked curiously towards the back of the carriage and saw a small group of people in standard robes approaching them, and it was the man with blonde hair at the front of the team who shouted.

"What should I do, uncle, do you run away or stop?" Zhou Yao couldn't help but ask Uncle Lei for his decision.

"There are too many people here to speed up, stop and listen to what they have to say, if I'm not mistaken, these people are the soul slayers of the Yoder City branch."

Uncle Ray tightened the reins to stop the carriage, and he jumped off the platform to meet the ill-intentioned group.

"When did the association even take over the work of the city guards, and make extra money?"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Uncle Lei spoke angrily first. It's like going to negotiate, it's like going to fight.

"You! These are extraordinary times, and of course our branch is up and running as part of the city of Yode. The blonde man was angry at first, and then he suppressed his anger again when he thought that this was a public place, and said with a serious face.

"It's going to say pretty things." Uncle Lei pursed his lips boringly, and his contemptuous attitude annoyed the blonde man again, and even the people behind him showed hostile glances, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, call that guy from Warrier, and I'll tell him." Uncle Lei waved his hand impatiently, as if to dispel the atmosphere that annoyed him.

Hearing the name "Warrier", the blonde man was startled at first, then calmed down and spoke.

"My name is Shival, what are you looking for your uncle! And what is the attempt to break into the city gate, could it be that it is a spy sent by the Dead Apostles! Shival questioned sharply and ordered Uncle Ray to be surrounded.

"I'll just say, with my uncle's temper, I will definitely mess things up, and when we see the opportunity, we will withdraw first." Zhou Yao, who was watching the show, said loudly and sold Uncle Lei without hesitation.

"But......" Lei Ruxue, who was worried, just opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Yao, who turned her gaze.

"Don't worry, the uncle said that he has acquaintances in the city, it should be the guy he just mentioned, it sounds like he is still a good status, and the uncle will be fine." Zhou Yao pressed the head of Lei Ruxue, who was still about to say something, and continued.

"Even if something really happens, I'll let Sakiya rescue Uncle, rest assured."

"Oh." Lei Ruxue replied softly.

With the stalemate between the two sides, the smell of gunpowder became strong, and street riots could evolve at any time. Seeing that the situation was about to deteriorate further, the crowd of onlookers suddenly parted into a gap, and a slightly rickety figure walked over.

"It's still a nasty temper."

The visitor said as he walked, the mage's round hat on his head trembled and made people worry that it would fall at any time, the purple-red mage robe was embroidered with strands of golden lace, and a staff inlaid with large round crystals struck the ground with his steps, and the whole person was completely dressed as a magician in a fantasy movie.

"Uncle!"

Shival saw the loud exclamation, and after glaring fiercely at Uncle Ray, he hurriedly trotted over.

"Why are you here, doesn't it matter to your body?" Shival said as he reached out to help, but was refused.

"You're still dressed up for a bad taste, but it's a good fit for the way you look now." Uncle Lei grinned and retorted verbally.

"It's been a few years?" Warrill pushed Shival's hand away and walked towards Uncle Ray with his long beard in his head.

"About three years." Uncle Ray thought about it and replied, and approached Warrill as well.

The two stood face to face, laughed in unison, and hugged each other, which made Zhou Yao, who was looking at it, sigh full of affection.

"When I heard the report that a bald man with a scar had broken through the gates, I thought it must be you."

"Haha, you guessed it!"

"You've been attacked by the Dead Apostles, you've been restless lately, and you've been disturbed by this kind of thing lately."

"That said, I was taken aback when I first arrived."

"Alas, you mean those refugees, I can't help it, the nobles in the city firmly disagree."

"Is it the Sivir family who is in charge of District 11 now?"

"How can it be replaced, unless the eleventh district is gone."

On the outside, it seems that one is a grandfather and the other is an uncle, but they talk intimately like a close friend of the same generation. Xival on the side was stunned, and in his impression that his uncle, who had always had a serious face, would laugh out loud regardless of his image, which made him forget the unpleasantness just now for a while, and became a little curious about Uncle Lei.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me to the meeting and sit."

So, Zhou Yao and the others followed Uncle Lei to the branch of the Yode City Association.

In a palatial conference room, Uncle Ray and Warrill sat opposite each other, talking to each other. Sitting next to them were Zhou Yao and Lei Ruxue.

Sakuya chose to stand behind Zhou Yao on the grounds of the maid's duties, and opposite her, there was Xival, who was also standing next to Warrill, at this time, his eyes were glued to Sakuya's body and he couldn't move away, his eyes were full of intoxication and admiration.

From the moment Sakiya got out of the carriage, he felt a strong shock to his heart, which is called love at first sight. On the way here, he actively came over to talk a few times, wanting to get closer to Sakuya, but unfortunately he was repelled by the cold-faced Zhou Yao and the unmoved Sakuya. But he won't give up, Sakiya is the goddess in his destiny.

So much so that Zhou Yao looked at him more and more unpleasantly, originally Zhou Yao didn't have a good impression of men who were more handsome than him, the reason was very simple, because he was not a handsome guy himself.

Zhou Yao had already made up his mind, if Xival really pestered Sakuya, he would let Sakya teach him a lesson.

"Ru Xue, do you know that old man?" Retracting his gaze from Xival, Zhou Yao leaned over to Lei Ruxue next to him and asked in a low voice.

"I think I've seen it once before, but I can't remember it exactly." Looking at the white-haired Warrier, Lei Ruxue said with some uncertainty.

Her gaze caught Warrill's attention, and the old man smiled kindly at her.

"In a flash, Ru Xue's child was slim, and she was still wearing a diaper when she first saw her." Stroking the beard on his chin, Warrill said with some emotion.

Hearing his words, Lei Ruxue's face flushed.

"I really want to thank you at that time, otherwise Xiaoxue wouldn't have grown up safely, and it would have caused you to become what you are now, alas."

Uncle Ray said something strange in a low tone, and looked at Warrill with apologetic eyes.

"What do you do with that, isn't the relationship between the two of us a matter of course, your daughter is like my daughter." Warrill said with some annoyance, and it was quite appropriate to describe his current appearance as a blowing beard and glaring.

And Lei Ruxue, who was on the topic, was full of question marks, and she didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so she had to bow her head stiffly.

However, Zhou Yao was keenly aware of something, looked at Lei Ruxue, and then at Warrier, and pondered.

"Well, I'm really convinced." Unable to stand up to Warrier's glaring threat, Uncle Lei raised his hand in surrender and said with a wry smile.

"Xiaoxue, he is Warrier, call him his father-in-law. If we get into trouble in the city in the future, you can go to him. "Listening to Uncle Lei's words, he has made up his mind to be restless, and yes, whoever just comes to Yode City will be besieged by the association.

"Oh, father...... My lord. Lei Ruxue called out obediently.

"You, you're really ......" Warrill smiled dumbly, but he didn't care, as if he was used to it, he nodded at Lei Ruxue affectionately.

"I'm just an old man, I can't be called an adult, you can call me my stepfather if you want."

"I'm not an adult yet, I'm all the head of the association's branch." Uncle Lei teased, an expression that was rarely seen on his face before.

"I want you to be verbose!" Warrill scolded with a laugh.

"By the way, one more thing, boy, boy!" When Zhou Yao came back from his contemplation, he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"He is Zhou Yao, who grew up with Xiaoxue, and just opened the magic circuit a few days ago, oh, he is still a spell holder, and the maid behind him is the heroic spirit he summoned." Uncle Lei finished speaking in one breath and introduced Zhou Yao's identity.
