Chapter 434: City of Chaos (17)
Arissanrite Empire, East Coast.
The sky was gray, and the clouds were like waves stacked on top of each other.
There was not a trace of blood on Orin's face, and his sunken eye sockets were full of dark circles, which had not been relieved by yesterday's rest.
"That's it. Bobilis looked at Orin and asked for his opinion.
Looking at the verdant under his feet, and then at the sea cliffs not far away, scattered seagulls hanging lonely in the sky, Orin nodded, indicating his approval of this place.
Bobilis picked up a tool and began to dig, and the others silently followed him.
The weak Orin didn't have the heart to step forward to make trouble, but leaned against Knight Egger's coffin and pondered something, with a lot of sorrow in his eyes.
After a long day, a rectangular tomb large enough to place the coffin was dug, and after a rest, a group of people got up again to carry Egger's coffin into the tomb, which was not a light job, and a group of people had little experience, and after working for a while, the coffin finally fell smoothly into the tomb.
Picking up the tool again, Bobilis looked at Orin and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say to him at the end?"
Orin was silent for a long time, then shook his head.
Bobilis turned to look at Vivien, who took out a glass bottle of colorful sand and handed it to a man standing beneath the grave. The man placed the glass bottle on the coffin and crawled out of the tomb.
"You are a worthy knight, though you are still my enemy. Bobilis said something serious, then scooped up the dirt and threw it into the tomb.
In the cemetery outside Carouston, Li Xuan placed white flowers in front of Lady Mandy's grave. Then he calmly left the cemetery and walked towards the city step by step.
Today is the fourth day since Mrs. Mandy's death, and at the funeral, the missing youngest son, Cole, still did not show up, and no one knows where he went. Only the Grand Duke Altins sent a representative, while the other Dukes Hermann and Thomas were very indifferent to Lady Mandy's death.
The resurrection of Luma and Luma has spread throughout the city of Carroston, and rumors have spread to many other parts of the Alessandite Empire. Duke Altins rushed to Maple Leaf Manor on the same day, hoping to resurrect his guards, but he didn't even enter the door of Maple Leaf Manor, and the cave man Jaeg was thrown at the gate of Maple Leaf Manor, becoming a temporary security guard for Maple Leaf Manor.
After Jag the caveman had cleaned up some of his unsightly hands, Altins finally gave up on the idea and returned to the fringe camp.
After Li Xuan slowly walked back to Maple Leaf Manor, Emma, Somla and Jaeg were discussing and analyzing a series of questions.
Seeing Li Xuan come back, Somla asked him directly: "According to your theory, if the magic elements are all based on the same substance, does that mean that there can be changes between different elements?"
"First of all, I would like to correct you that I am a guess and not a theory, and a theory can only be called a theory if it is concluded through countless practices. Li Xuan shook his head and said.
"The fact that the ever-changing forms of the magical element can be fused into something substantial indicates that its existence has a very high degree of homogeneity, and this homogeneous substance is the real core of the magical element, and we don't know anything about this homogeneous substance, and we can't even be sure whether it really exists. Although, it seems to me that this homogeneous substance must exist, and must be influencing the magical element, and giving some kind of property that we don't know about. Li Xuan spoke slowly, trying to get them used to their vocabulary and the way they communicated in the other face.
"Wouldn't it be very easy to transform between the different elements if it were real?" asked Emma.
Li Xuan nodded: "From the perspective of speculation, it should be that the different magic elements are only slight differences in the core, and this slight difference gives the magic elements different attributes, fire, air, earth, and water, and the transformation between the different elements you are talking about is just a very small change in the differentiation of the core of the microscopic magic elements, and then there are new changes in the attributes that are given, and the impact on the original is not particularly large." ”
"The guidance and operation of the spiritual power required here is an unimaginable microscopic operation, and it is almost impossible for a magician to do that, and neither can I. The bar here is much higher than any other. Li Xuan explained again.
Li Xuan's words made Emma and the others fall into silence again.
At night, outside the city of Carostone, a small team of horses was still hurrying at night, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the empty night.
Led by Bobilis and a few cavalrymen, Orin and Vivien were also in the horse team, this time the trip back was much smoother than when they went, after burying the Knight of Egger, the group returned along the road, and in the magic guild of a large city on the east coast, they got the "Time and Space Gate" teleportation of the high-level archmage, and went straight back to the Duchy of Zereva, and then the group rode back to Carouston from Zereva.
The closed gates were extremely indifferent in the darkness, and when he returned to his town again, Orin had a feeling that he had been away from Carouston for too long, that he had not saved the Knight of Iger in Durogar, and that he had a large amount of debts, which would become a burden on the city of Carouston in the next two or three years.
Bobilis didn't have much expression on his face, and there was some tiredness on his resolute face, and the continuous rush made him a little unbearable. The father and daughter of the Stanlini family did not say a word of rest along the way, and followed them all the time. Bobilis looked at them with some admiration in his eyes.
Finally, the horse team has arrived at the east gate of Caroston City!
"Who are you!" Archers and crossbowmen gathered on the watchtower at the city gate. The sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night was particularly clear, and before they could reach the gates, the watchtower's watchmen spotted them and woke up the other soldiers on the walls. The soldiers all cautiously put on their light armor, picked up their bows and crossbows, and waited by the pier of the city wall on the city gate, listening to the sound of horses' hooves that had stopped, and vaguely saw that the number of horses below was not large, only 7 or 8 horses.
Orin looked up and shouted, "Open the door!" I'm Orin, Orin Stanlini! I'm back!"
There was a commotion on the ramparts, and the voice of Viscount Orin was clearly heard.
Then there was a loud bang at the gates, and then they slowly opened.
