Chapter 25: Whispers in the Dark

White City, Wilderness District, Iron-Blooded Thorn Blacksmith Shop.

"Master Aninotes, I'm really curious, what kind of animal bone is this large piece you brought? I've been hammering it all afternoon, and I've only driven two nails into it, and if it's another guest, I'm afraid I've made half of the shield!" the blacksmith asked in confusion as he sweated profusely, sighed, picked up the keel, looked left and right, and asked suspiciously.

"This is an extremely rare skeleton of a magical beast, and I can't reveal what it is. I'm sorry for you to sweat a lot, and when you're done, your salary will definitely be indispensable!" said Aninotes, looking at the blacksmith's helpless look. Of course he won't tell the truth, if he lets this blacksmith know that this is the skull of the dragon clan, I'm afraid that he will immediately throw down the steel hammer and nails in his hand and return the money immediately, right?

"Excuse me, at least when will it take to make this shield?" Mirhat couldn't wait to get the strongest shield in the world, and without waiting for the short sword enchanted by Aninotes, he hurriedly pulled the two of them to the iron-blooded thorn blacksmith.

"If it's all done, we'll have to wait until this time tomorrow, to say the least. I've been nailing the third nail for so long!Really, what kind of monster is it that has such a hard bone?Alas, what ......about people," the blacksmith complained, only to find that the three teenagers who were still standing in front of him were gone.

"By the way, Aninotes, I remember you didn't say that it would rain for at least three days and three nights, and why is the sky clear now?" asked Mihat, looking at the clear sky.

"How do I know? It was late that night, maybe I didn't see it very clearly......" Aninotes couldn't help laughing out loud in the middle of his sentence.

"Yes, damn little magician, how dare you lie to me!" Mihart scolded, turning and grabbing Aninotes' braids.

The "hateful little magician" writhed in pain in his head, trying to free his braid from the shackles of Michat's fingers, but where was he a match for the young Duo Saik?

In this world, apart from Lord Secret Fire, the only person who can call Brother Anitates "hateful little magician" and dare to pull the braids on his head is probably only Brother Mihat!

Ayson sighed in his heart, but saw Agnotes turn his head viciously, his mouth was full of words, and his palms were also shining with a lilac light!

Mihat was so shocked that he quickly loosened Aninotes' hair, and jumped backwards with great speed, knocking Aython to the ground.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

No, why is there no movement?

"Hahahahaha......haha

The sound of Aninotes' laughter echoed in Mihat's ears, and when he got up to look, he saw that the little magician was already laughing and was almost out of breath, and it suddenly dawned on him, where is this Aninotes casting magic? He was obviously bluffing to scare himself and let go of his braids! The "incantation" he just said was probably also an insult to himself, right?

Mihart thought about it, and hurriedly picked up the little Ai Yusen, who had fallen to the ground by himself, and wiped the mud from his body, but where did he wipe it clean?

Looking at the two little masters who were scuffling together again, Ai Yansen, who was covered in mud: "......"

At this moment, a dirty hand reached out in front of little Ai Yusen.

When he looked closely, he saw that he was an unkempt beggar sitting on the side of the road, his clothes were wet and with many holes, and the rain was dripping incessantly, and his right hand, which was reaching out to him to ask for money, was bare, and his sleeves had rotted into "tassels" of different widths, and his sunken eyes, covered with dense bloodshots, stared straight at him, and his eyes showed a pleading gaze that made people feel pity.

This man probably hasn't eaten for a long time, hasn't he? The heavy rain had been falling all night, and he had just stopped, and he wanted to find an eaves where he could hide from the rain, and if the owner of the house found out, he would probably drive this hungry and cold man away, right?

The two little masters are kind-hearted people, and they will definitely not blame themselves for spending their own money to help this poor man who has no way out, right?

Ai Yansen looked at the beggar's outstretched hand, took out five copper coins from his pocket, thought for a moment, took out five more, and handed them to the beggar.

The beggar slowly took the copper coin and whispered, "God bless you, good child." With that, he returned to his demeanor, as if he had died. His left hand was clenched into a fist in a tattered sleeve, and his ring finger was even shorter than his little finger, because it had been severed from the second joint, and if you looked closely, you could see that the wound was neat, as if it had been cut directly by a sharp blade!

When the three of them reached the corner of the street, the beggar suddenly turned his head and stared at the short sword at Mihart's waist, with a look of deep hatred on his face!

White Mancheng, Genting District, the residence of the chief magician of the palace.

A blue-robed magician hurriedly walked in from the door, bowed and said, "Master Kalisa, this is the lord's secret letter. Then he took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve, placed it lightly on the table, and withdrew.

With a snap of her fingers, the parchment flew into the air, opened with a "snap", and burned to ashes from the center! The ashes twisted in the air, turning into a winged "little man", and the "little man" immediately opened his mouth and called out in a high-pitched, thin voice: "The chief magician of the court, Carissa Secret Fire:

After discussion and decision by the Council of Lords, the proposal of the chief mage of the court, Lord Mihuo, to suspend the implementation of the guard shift system for ten days, effective immediately. The various departments of Lord Bai Man sent condolences to Master Carissa, expressing their implores for the Daybreakers under Master Carissa's command to work together to eradicate hidden dangers for our city and protect our subjects.

This letter

Council of Lords of the White Man

Founding of the Empire 1218 / Rain Palm Month / Day 17 / Thursday"

As soon as the ash villain's voice fell, it immediately disappeared.

Carissa closed her eyes tightly, staring at the crystal ball in her hand without changing her face, smoothly injecting magical energy into it, only to see that the crystal ball suddenly shone brightly, and countless lights and shadows flashed in the ball, like some fragments of memory, but it seemed like a scene that had not yet happened. The lights and shadows kept spinning, faster and faster, faster and faster......

Kalisa then opened her eyes, her gaze rested on the crystal ball, and saw the last image that flashed inside the sphere - in the terrifying darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, two pairs of eyes loomed, one glowing green, and the other flashing scarlet rage!

Kalisa put down the crystal ball, turned around and walked to the windowsill, looking down at the white manxiong city at her feet, her eyes slowly swept over the crowded wilderness area, the peaceful and peaceful Zefeng area, and the *solemn Genting area, and muttered to herself: "Although the number of guards has doubled, I am afraid it will be useless in the face of these two guys." Kenmore, you must always be vigilant, and you must not let up in the slightest. In this city, there is about to set off a bloody storm......"

Outside the window, a gray sparrow "chirped" twice, staring at the lonely figure of Carissa, for a long time, towards the distant horizon, flying away.

Baiman City, not far from the city gate, Shimmer House.

"Thank you, just put it here. Pointing to the ground, Aninotes said to the two carpenters behind him who were carrying the furniture.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately placed a large bed on their shoulders at the door of the Shimmer House.

Originally, the work of transporting goods should not have been done by them, but when they saw that the person who bought this bed was the famous Master Aninotes, they did a favor. People with such a high status are not seen every day, and such a rare opportunity must be seized. So the two immediately closed the store and offered to deliver it to their door.

Aninotes smiled slightly, took two gold coins from his pocket, and handed them to the carpenter.

The two looked at each other and immediately smiled.

I've made a lot of money today!

Looking at their expressions, I can't wait to sell the store directly, and follow Aninotes to carry things every day!

"I said, Aninotes, you are so rich, and you have given the gold to others casually, why can't you help me buy another bed?" complained to Mihat when he saw that the two carpenters had gone away.

When I was buying furniture from the carpenter just now, I took out the money bag that my father had left for me, opened it, and was dumbfoundedβ€”it contained not silver coins, but copper coins!

His monthly expenses were sixty silver coins, and even if he subtracted the thirty as a punishment, he should have three or thirty left! It must have been that day at the inn, my father took the wrong money bag in a fit of rage, and kept the money bag that he used to hold copper horns and bits and pieces for himself!

Mihart was helpless, so he lowered his head and asked Aninotes for help.

This guy is a good thing, he only gave himself six silver coins, and six silver coins, which is one hundred and twenty copper coins, this ...... That's just enough to buy a bed!

Hearing Mihat's complaints, Aninotes said coldly: "Whether it is gold or silver, it is my money, I can spend it as I wish, can you manage it?" I forgot to remind you that I bought this bed for Ayersen, and as for you, if you want to sleep in the bed, you have to ask for Ayssen's permission." If he doesn't agree for a day, you'll have to sleep on the floor for another day. By the way, you've been living in my shimmering house for two days, and for the sake of your good relationship with me, I'll count you as a gold coin for a day......"

Listening to Aninotes' deliberately sarcastic words, Mihart suddenly became furious and interrupted: "Aninotes, you are too much! I am shy now, are you just going to fall down the stone so unscrupulously......?

"Brother Mihat, don't say it, it's not what you think. Realizing that Mihart was really angry, Ayerson interrupted him, turning his head and glancing anxiously at Aninotes.

Why?

Why do I keep having trouble with this guy?

Why is it that I have won, but there is no joy in my heart?

Why do I feel so ashamed when I look at this guy's angry appearance?

What is the reason for all this?

"Mihat, I'm too much, I'm sorry. I take back what I just said...... You know, I didn't mean that...... I'm too much, I'm sorry," Aninotes apologized, "I'll help you move the bed in." ”

The little magician walked to the head of the bed, recited the incantation, and at the same time manipulated the four mirror entities to the four corners of the bed, and the five of them worked together, barely lifting the bed by an inch before taking a step, and as soon as his hand was weak, he slammed the bed to the ground.

Mihart looked at Aninotes' guilty expression, and also felt that what he had just said was a bit excessive, but he was still angry, and he ignored the little magician, and just said to Ayerson: "Ayersen, take a hand, let's carry the bed in." After saying that, he stood on the side of the bed, firmly buckled the plank under the bed, and with the help of his hands, waist, legs, and back, he lifted the bed up and walked steadily towards the house.

Aninotes stood in the doorway: "......"

White City, wilderness area, underground waterways.

"My beloved Anna, how are you?"

"Hmph, why did you come back so early today? You don't stalk anymore? Don't worry, your beloved Anna won't die so easily. ”

"The number of guards has roughly doubled, and they know we are coming. ”

"I don't care, Danny, tonight, I have to do it! In order to conceal our whereabouts, my magic energy is almost exhausted, and if I don't eat, I will become a monster again, and then you will dislike me again!"

"When have I ever despised you, and even when you have shown your true form, I love you all the same. ”

"Alright, stop the rhetoric. You've been out for most of the day, and what else have you discovered?"

"I'm so hungry and groggy that I forgot if I had been reminded by you. I think Kenmore's son has been discovered by me. The child's sword was silver, and it smelled of his dead father, and there was no mistake. ”

"Hmph, whether it's a kid or an old man, they're all dying. ”

"Let's do it tonight, but be careful, the haunting dawnbreakers are already aware of it. ”

"Heh, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to kill them all. ”
