"Bold—what?"

The greased old man crushed the expensive wig in a panic, and was just about to call the guards in anger, when he heard someone report the name of an organization that he had never heard of before, but it seemed to be very big, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What research society?"

"Fuck off!"

Fifian took out a spoiled child very realistically, his upturned little nose was almost facing the sky, and he walked unceremoniously to the door, and in the flow of magical elements, a mysterious and beautiful rune suddenly floated on the immature skin in the center of his forehead: "O sleeping guardian, I command you in the name of the 'Las Vegas Ancient Magic Research Society', open your eyes, and open the way for us according to the eternal contract!"

Under the illumination of this runic light, the ancient gate emitted a strange tremor, and those exquisite statues lit up one after another, as if they were rubbed new by magical power, and the heavy door leaf blessed with many magic spells opened silently, and then the road leading to the interior of the academy also began to emit a beautiful rainbow light, extending all the way into the interior of the school, causing the apprentices on the road to let out a surprised exclamation.

The old man stood at the door in a daze, looking at this unbelievable scene, and the dentures in his mouth had begun to fall out halfway, not even knowing it.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

He stammered, and accidentally revealed his true country accent: "Why, why are the gates of the academy lit?"

――That's a great question, and I'm ****** want to ask!

Already there, Doug began to rub his forehead with a blank expression, and his other hand was clenched into a fist to help him restrain himself. It's just that one didn't hold it, and this little girl immediately made such a big commotion, still in the prosperous area of Xi'an!

If it weren't for the fact that he had obtained a treasure like 'Angelina's Will' that could change his appearance, he would have immediately left Fifian and fled. On this sensitive day when the emperor was just assassinated, even the dog looking for food in the garbage heap knew that he would have to cross the road with his tail between his legs today......

"Teacher!"

Over there, Fei Fei turned his head sweetly and called, ignoring the crowd that was gradually gathering around him: "The door has been opened, let's go in!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Doug squeezed this sentence almost out between his teeth, but fortunately his real face was hidden, otherwise he would have been exposed.

"What are you trying to do with all this attention-grabbing mess!"

It was his whispered shouting to Fifian, "Our target only needs those 'magic apprentices'!

"Nasty!" the little girl's interest disappeared at once: "What are you murderous...... I just heard that your adventure was fun, and I wanted to do it again...... Hmph!" The tone has unconsciously become a little different from before, and even a little coquettish.

What are you doing in common??!!

Doug almost yelled, feeling his irritability, he had to take a deep breath again to suppress his mood swings: "Don't worry about this, let's hurry up and ask for the address of that damn store, and leave!"

"Okay. ”

Fei Fei turned around sullenly, took a breath, and then faced the magic apprentices who were attracted to him, and a cute smile was already on his raised little face: "Big brothers, big sisters!"

Her crisp childlike voice was sweet and soft: "May I ask if any of you know of a store called 'The Silence of All Things'?"

The cute voice and even more cute image suddenly made the several magic apprentices gathered here feel good, and the old demon who had been stunned on the side suddenly came back to his senses at this time, and ran to the small door in a panic, as if he wanted to inform someone.

Doug's right hand had subconsciously retracted into his sleeve and grasped the handle of the dagger the moment he turned, but it was immediately stopped by reason - this was a public place.

And the two of them won't stay for long, and they will leave when they ask for the address they want, so it doesn't matter.

Fifian asked two more times in a cute voice, but the magic apprentices just looked at her and Doug, whispering to each other, and none of them answered.

"What kind of shop is this, little sister?"

Finally, a young female magic apprentice couldn't resist Fifian's cute attack, and leaned over and crouched down with the most kind expression: "Brothers and sisters have never heard of this name!"

"It's a magic material store!"

Fifian continued to play the role of a cute little sister, but her big eyes secretly flashed a look that did not match her appearance: "I heard that it has a lot of strange and good things for sale!"

"Hehe, do you like weird things, big sister, there are a lot of them here!"

Listening to Fifian's fairy tales, the female magic apprentice couldn't help laughing, and even took out a very delicate magic ornament on her belt to show Fifian: "Look, is it okay for my sister to give this to you? ”

"Thank you, big sister!"

Fifian replied crisply, smiling sweetly on her little face, but she didn't even glance at the magic ornament: "But that shop has something good that I want, so I must find it!"

"It has to be......"

A look of embarrassment flashed on the face of the female magic apprentice, and she was a little annoyed that she was attracted by this cute face, so much so that she got into trouble: "It's not a good time now, something big happened to Xi'an, many apprentices went home to hide, and the masters were also invited by the council to help, I'm afraid not-"

Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already a little straight, her lips subconsciously opened and closed, but no more sound came out, staring blankly ahead, unable to move—at the height of her line of sight, a pair of well-maintained hands wearing several large magic crystal rings were rapidly approaching, and all the attention of the magic apprentice was attracted by the huge crystals that scattered beautiful light and clear magical aura, so that she didn't even react to the approaching person, until the little girl's voice woke her up.

"Teacher!"

The little girl sweetly called the later 'Lord of the Rings': "The big brothers and sisters here say they don't know! Go in and ask the white-bearded old man - I've had a good time with the big sisters here!"

The implication was that Doug went in to find the old men, and here she asked for more apprentices herself—the original plan was to find clues in the magic apprentices, but now it seemed that she had to go one step further.

"Why don't you go?"

Doug asked quietly, "You know, I'm not good at magic. ”

"I've always hated those research freaks!" Fifian wrinkled her little nose and responded, "Especially the kind that likes to carry lollipops with them!"

What do you mean?

Doug was a little confused, but the little girl had already expressed his wishes very resolutely, and in order to save time and not cause further trouble, Doug finally accepted the arrangement, smiled and said a few fake words to the magic apprentices who were staring blankly at his fingers, and walked quickly towards the inside of the academy.

However, he soon discovered that it was the wrong decision.

"It's ******, it's troublesome......"

Standing at a wide intersection, Doug grinded his teeth as he watched as several intersecting roads gritted his teeth.

What the hell do the nervous magicians think all day? Why have the towers been built everywhere and irregularly, like a pile of large wooden stakes in the schoolyard, causing a good path to twist into all sorts of strange shapes—could it be that their brains have been so polluted by the magical symbols that they can't even draw a straight line?

He had been full of confidence just now, having succeeded in coming into contact with one or two mentor-like men by virtue of his experience in disguise Tutang Carmen—the old fellows who were full of magic were easy to fool and easily make up their words—but his attention only relaxed for a moment, and he suddenly found himself in a labyrinth of paths, with countless crooked paths tangled with each other, surrounded by towers of little difference, and turning around and unable to find the right direction.

Due to the assassination, many magic teachers were asked to study and analyze the 'poison' that killed Anagu II, and the further you went inside, the more deserted the magic academy became, and you couldn't even find someone from the academy to lead the way.

God of War in ...... Next to it, if Doug @Srieu, who used to be active in the darkness of the night and accurately visited every target, actually got lost in broad daylight, it is destined to become the most funny joke of the year!

Doug's grim gaze wandered around, and after a few more minutes of hard work, he finally decided to put aside the fear of revealing his identity and climb to the seemingly unmanned tower next to him to take a closer look—he couldn't afford to waste any more time in this stupid place, anyway!

After a quick survey of the environment, Doug dodged into the shadows of the building, and even though he was in a hurry, he waited quietly and motionlessly for a moment to make sure that no one was around, and then continued to enter the empty tower through the first-floor window with a neat turn.

But today was destined to be his unlucky day—when he had reached the roof with the utmost care, and had not met a single mouse, and was rejoicing in his good fortune, he was astonished to find that there was no window at the top of the damned tower—and the panes seen from the outside were actually decorative fakes!

Do these magicians have brains in their heads!?

When he discovered the truth, Doug's anger burst out, and he was about to smash his fist into the table in the room, but he stopped at the moment when he was about to touch it, and then frowned, secretly vigilant.

Even though the smell of various pungent materials wafted from the place, he still forced himself to take a few deep breaths to adjust his overly irritable mood and calm his heartbeat as quickly as possible.

I've been quite uncool lately...... Obviously, although he didn't show it explicitly, he was still affected by the fact of going to the graveyard of the dragon lich - or rather, his always cautious and organized self was provoked by Fifian's purposeless and unplanned ways, but he could only endure it, and thus subconsciously produced the seeds of irritability that were not easy to detect......

Analyzing his state of mind, Doug quickly calmed down. The lesson of blood and tears mixed with the street made him understand the importance of restraining impatience, and he also summed up a set of methods to calm his emotions through a specific way of breathing, which proved to be very effective.

"Doug, come on, I've got a clue!"

Just as Doug resumed his normal breathing and smiled in satisfaction, Fifian's excited children's voice rang in his ears.

"Really?"

Doug breathed a sigh of relief and lifted his spirits, "Does anyone really know about this store?"

"I guess so...... One of the newly returned apprentices said he had heard of the shop, and he did know the sign, but he said it was in a very remote place, and he couldn't tell it by his mouth. Fifian's voice was fast and soft, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood: "You come out quickly!"

"It's good, but ...... There's a small problem. ”

Doug began to rub his forehead, "--you hurry up and get me out of this perverted campus!"

......

After the light of the teleportation magic was extinguished, Doug stepped out of the circle surrounded by magic symbols with a cold face, and the first thing that came into view was the idiot face of a magic apprentice with a shocked face and the small face of Fifian next to him, smiling brightly.

“...... Hee-hee...... Are you lost?"

Fifian's thin laughter came from the communication device: "There are too many departments in the Xi'an Royal Academy of Magic that study the Radiance Divine Arts, everyone wants to attract as much light as possible from Sanin, and they are all rich guys, and the consequences of building more towers are like this...... Congratulations, the 'Magician's Labyrinth' is a famous sight that posterity can only imagine in their minds!"

"Fart landscape!"

Doug smiled reservedly at the idiot-looking apprentice, and secretly grinded his teeth and replied, "Since you knew, you didn't warn me sooner?...... These magicians are not afraid to starve themselves to death on the road!"

"People know magic!"

Fifian finally laughed a little, "If you really want to get lost, you can turn yourself into a big light bulb, and the whole academy can see it!"

"You know the shop called, well, 'Silence of Everything'?"

Ignoring Fifian's laughter until his little body trembled, Doug raised his hand and gagged with graceful movements, and skillfully revealed the magic crystal ring on his hand, and then asked majestically.

"Yes, yes. ”

The magic apprentice was visibly also shocked by the crystals, and his speech was a little unsmooth, "I, I've heard of this shop...... It's a sign of three triangles nested together, right?"

He gestured in the air, and the little girl's big eyes gleamed with excitement: "That's right!

"Very good, please take us to that store!"

Doug smiled with satisfaction, "I'll remember you, zealous young apprentice!"
