The Thunder Crow flapped its two huge black wings, raising the yellow dust in the sky, carrying the two of them into the sky and piercing the sky.

Leighton lay on top of the Thunder Crow, looking down on the forest below from the air, like a sea of green, the breeze blowing like waves, rushing into the distance in waves.

This is the first time he has sat on a flying beast since he was a child, and the feeling of flying in the sky is very novel and exciting. The wind in the sky blew a little cold, and it also blew away the dull mood of missing the old man in the past few days, and became a little cheerful.

Soon, the Thunder Crow flew through the vast forest and flew to a small city on the side, and Layton found that it was the Red Fire City. Looking down from the sky, you can see everything in full view. From a distance, this small city is like a solid nail, nailed between the mountains, blocking the expansion of the demonic beasts in the northern mountains.

The Thunder Crow flew straight above the Red Fire City and landed steadily at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, a large group of people had already heard the sound and rushed to greet them, led by the city lord of Red Fire City.

The city lord asked respectfully, "Seeing Your Excellency the Night Soul, is this trip going well?"

The Night Spirit fell from the Thunder Raven to the ground and said, "Let's go inside." This is the child I brought, and I bother the city lord to settle down. ”

"Okay. The butler told the boy to go to the hall for a short rest. Hearing this, the city lord glanced at Layton and instructed the butler.

The city lord made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your Excellency Night Soul, please come here." The two entered a study, dismissed the servants around them, and began a detailed secret conversation.

After a full stick of incense, the two walked out of the room slowly.

The Night Soul turned around and arched his hand and said, "Then I will leave this matter to the city lord." ”

The city lord replied respectfully, "Your Excellency Night Soul, please rest assured, this matter will be handled in the future." ”

Then he called out a general in armor, covering his ears and not knowing what to order. I saw that the general just nodded incessantly, and then got the task and retreated.

"Your Excellency Night Soul, I have a reluctant request below. The city lord whispered.

Night Soul said calmly: "But it doesn't hurt to speak, I will definitely do my best to help if I can." ”

"It's about to be the time of enrollment for the major magic academies in September, and there is a child under his knees, and now he is more than twelve, I want him to enter the Spirit Wing Magic Academy to practice magic. The City Lord of Red Fire City immediately said.

The Night Soul didn't immediately agree, but nodded and said, "That's it, you bring him over first, let me see." ”

The city lord was delighted: "Okay. ”

After a while, the lord of the city brought a boy over. I saw the boy standing nervously in front of the night spirit, but the slight trembling of the palm betrayed the tension in his heart. He understood that the person in front of him, even his father, had to be respectful.

The Night Soul's eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul of the boy in front of him, constantly scrutinizing. "What's your name?"

"Mancklin. The boy replied.

"I can sense that you are very good, and you have already reached the third order at a young age. However, due to the excessive fusion of some external natural treasures, his soul power is not pure enough, and if he wants to enter the Spirit Wing Magic Academy, one of the four major magic academies in the Holy Dragon Continent, he may still be a little short. Night Soul stared at a miniature star mirror in his hand, which changed into some mixed colors, and said with a slight frown: "Although I am the tutor of the Dark Magic Department of the Spirit Wing Magic Academy, the academy has the rules of the academy, even if I can't break it casually, I'm sorry City Lord, I'm afraid I can't help you with this favor." ”

The city lord slapped his head and shouted: "Blame me, blame me, I'm ignorant." As he spoke, he took out a fluorescent treasure jade box and offered it respectfully with both hands, "This is a little bit of my heart, and I also ask Your Excellency Night Soul to accept it, and please be sure to fulfill it." ”

The night soul didn't even look at the jade box that glowed with a hazy light, as if it were all filthy. His face suddenly became a little angry, and he shouted: "What does the city lord mean by this, how can my night soul be such a person." ”

In the face of the defenseless reprimand, the city lord's face couldn't help but pause slightly, and then it became a little ugly, he didn't expect this night soul to give himself so faceless. I thought of some rumors in my heart, this night soul has never liked corruption and power.

The city lord is worthy of being a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and at the moment, he pressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, changed into a smiling face, and begged for the next thing: "It's abrupt, I humiliated Your Excellency the Night Soul, and I can't compensate you here." It's just that Xiao'er's talent is not top-notch, but he doesn't want to give up this opportunity in vain, so he just asks His Excellency Night Soul to be able to piggyback on Xiao'er when he returns to the Spirit Wing Magic Academy. ”

Night Soul frowned, and had no choice but to say, "Since the city lord insists on giving it a try, it doesn't hurt to bring it, but I have to make it clear in advance, I can't guarantee that he will definitely enter the Spirit Wing Magic Academy." ”

After hearing this, the city lord on the side seemed to put down the stone in his heart, and kept nodding and saying, "This understands." Then let Xiao'er follow His Excellency Night Soul to the imperial capital. ”

At this time, the general just now went and returned, walked to the city lord's side, whispered something in his ear, and saw the city lord nodding constantly.

"Okay, you can step back first" The city lord waved his hand to the general, turned to the night soul and said, "Your Excellency the night soul, I have already sent someone to check his identity just now that you brought Layton. It has been confirmed that he is a native of Montenegro Village in my territory, and he has been dependent on an old man since he was a child, so he can rule out suspicion. ”

"There is the lord of the city. Hearing this, the night soul said calmly: "Since the matter is already in place, I will hurry back to the imperial capital to resume my life, and I hope that the city lord will send a secret letter to the emperor about this matter as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The city lord arched his hand and said, "I will arrange a flying merchant ship for Your Excellency Night Soul to go to the imperial capital." ”

Before leaving, the city lord handed the treasure jade box to his son, whispering something, and the boy nodded incessantly.

Under the arrangement of the city lord, the night soul took Layton and Manklin and carried the last flying merchant ship to the mainland Zhongzhou.

The flying merchant ship was moving steadily in the sky, the whole ship was shining with silver light, the hull was engraved with complicated runes, and the flagpole stood a windward flag, and the four big characters of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce fluttered in the wind.

This is a flying merchant ship belonging to the Wanguang Chamber of Commerce, which travels to and from the major capitals every month.

The establishment of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce can be traced back to ancient times, with a history of thousands of years, and its inheritance can be compared with the Holy See of Light, the Temple of Darkness, and the Four Great Empires. Its industry has long spread throughout the Holy Dragon Continent, and it is well-deserved to be the largest chamber of commerce in the continent.

On this trip, the three Night Souls must first arrive at Storm City, and from there borrow a teleportation array to rush back to the imperial capital.

The most famous part of Storm City is the Gameda Plateau, which is home to a number of kilometers of non-stop giant storms. And there is a large amount of wind elements floating around the perimeter of the giant storm, which is a holy place for wind magicians to cultivate.

The most legendary is Howard Kevin, the lord of Storm City. He used to be a fifth-order wind magician, who had stayed at the fifth order for hundreds of years and could not break through, and then came to the giant storm cultivation of the Gameda Plateau, and stayed in the periphery for ten years. When he came out of the giant storm, he had become a ninth-order wind mage, easily crushing the old city lord at the time, becoming the new master of Storm City, and swearing eternal allegiance to the Empire, which was officially recognized by the Starlight Empire.

A little-known person, after entering the Giant Storm cultivation, was able to become a ninth-order magician and become a city lord, this matter instantly caused a sensation in the entire magic world, and the giant storm of the Gameda Plateau was also famous throughout the continent.

Every year, countless wind magicians come to practice, hoping to become the second Howard Kevin, and for wind magicians, this is the way to become a high-level magician.

However, things are not always rosy. In the deepest part of the Giant Storm lies the legendary Land of the Dead, where no one ever knows what actually exists. For thousands of years, people who have entered have never come out alive. Even, including a former Terran Holy King, is gone. As soon as this incident came out, it shocked the mainland, and since then it has become a forbidden place on the mainland, causing countless people to speculate and reverie for a while.

Leighton lay on the bonnet and quietly enjoyed the scenery, the flying merchant ship had been sailing for two days. During this period, he drove through a series of bustling small cities, jumped over patches of lush trees, and passed through the endless prairie, showing a different world to Leighton.

At this time, Manklin walked from a distance with his hands behind his back, looked around, and then approached Layton, raised his head and said coldly: "Layton, what is your relationship with Lord Night Soul?"
