"Why?"

"Come and see. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Master Akrama pointed to the drawings on the table.

Chirnith picked up the drawings and looked at them for a long time, but he didn't understand them. He has some fighting skills, but he doesn't know anything about this magic pattern.

Then the master explained it to him.

"This is a bird's view of the entire magic circle. The seven dots on the right I filled in 7 colors. Then the master pointed to the seven dots, "In this order, red, blue, yellow, green, red, purple, white, and red." What do you think of?"

"Red, blue, yellow, green, red, purple, white, red. Isn't this the order of the lighthouse colors of the port of Edria?" Chiernis had traveled to the New World many times, and reacted instantly to this important sign.

"Look at the location again. As he spoke, Akrama handed over a map of the ports of Edria in the New World.

"Hell, the location exactly fits. Chirnith looked at it for a long time and came to such a conclusion.

"If what the letter says is true. This magic circle will take effect on the Red Full Moon (Note 1) every year. The magic circle will begin to absorb the life energy of the surrounding hundred square kilometers and refine it into an evil piece of metal. However, after the Demon Array is activated, it will take a full day to refine it. During this time, humans will not feel anything. But the beast reacted abnormally. Especially if there is a high-level beast king, they will indiscriminately attack the location of the magic circle for their own survival, either terminate the magic circle or don't refine it into metal. And of course, all the inhabitants of the port were among them. Moreover, it is useless to destroy the lighthouse with light, and the so-called array eye must be destroyed in order to stop the magic array. ”

"Yes, at the end of last year's Beast Tide report, a large number of buildings were destroyed. Among them is a statue of your father in the center of the square. Then the tide of beasts receded. According to the above theory, the beast tide has retreated not because it is unable to resist the onslaught of humans, but because they have destroyed the eye. Phyllus added.

"How likely is this to be?" Although Chirnith had known that the beast tide was man-made, he dared to believe it after knowing the truth.

"There are a lot of formulas and calculations about the magic array mentioned in the letter, and I calculated them later, and they all matched. The conclusion is not what the letter says, but I deduce it according to the formula proposed. ”

"One more point. The vice president of the Pathfinder Guild, Kai Youan, is not a native of the country, he is a native of the Holy Empire. After the beast tide a year ago, the former vice president of the association disappeared. Oh, yesterday you told me I was dying in the turbulence of space. He took over as vice president. Philus said

"I forgot to mention it, in fact, the previous vice president I investigated nine times out of ten was also a spy of the Holy Empire. Seeing Philus mention something important in front of Master Akrama, he revealed the news.

"I see, I know the background of this. But it looks like we're going to have to dig a little deeper. ”

"This matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately, and it is best to bring some troops over to resist the beast tide, and more importantly, destroy the array of eyesights. There are still 2 months to prepare, and it will take a month to get there with my boat, so hopefully it will be in time. Chirnith said.

"Well, I will go with you to see Your Majesty in the afternoon. Also, Master Akrama, there is one more thing for you. Philus turned to the master: "Chiernis will take you to his ship, there are a few new magic patterns, I hope you can study them in the shortest time, and they will be of great use in the future, especially when it comes to the safety of the port of Edria in two months." ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry. ”

In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, Phyllus arranged the relevant matters and rushed to the capital with Chierneth in a carriage......

What they didn't know was that at this moment, another point in Achea's book was lit.

And on the other side of the sea......

In contrast to the Northern Continent, it is the coldest time of the year.

A few days ago, the lord issued an amnesty decree that pardoned those who had been captured by the Sea Tribe, and that they had the same rights as the citizens of Hong Kong.

After the decree was issued, the Sea Tribes were able to enter and leave various public places in Edria without fear of being considered spies. The premise is that they have an ID tag made for the Sea Clan.

In the past few days, after the vigorous fishing of the sea people, the special dock of Fairy Spring is full of batches of seafood. The fishy smell of seafood attracted groups of cats. But under the maintenance of the Siamese cat named Little Blacktail, these cats were just onlookers, and there were no robberies. Even if there were, I was stunned by the little black tail's slap and dragged aside and thrown into the water. On a cold day, it is a sinful thing for a cat to be thrown into the water. After a few times, no one (cats) dared to steal the seafood.

Due to the language barrier, the Sea Tribes did not go out a lot for the time being, and only the first group of people who came into contact with the Fairy Spring began to integrate into the city, and they walked the streets and alleys, selling seafood everywhere. At the same time, a large amount of seafood flows into the market every day from the dedicated dock of Fairy Spring, and some people even come to buy it. And those onlookers cats just prove the freshness of those seafood.

The main department has also begun to offer a variety of seafood recipes. Paella, salt-and-pepper lobster, sea cucumber with oyster sauce, fish sashimi and other delicacies are also constantly on the table. There are more people than usual, so much so that the seats are often full.

Then, the result is a large number of fish heads. These fish heads can't be eaten by throwing them to the cats. So, Achea came up with a new recipe: the fish head feast. But she didn't think the name sounded, so she changed it to a very literary name: looking up at the starry sky. To put it bluntly, it is to put a few fish heads, and the fish mouth is facing the sky. It looks like a school of fish looking up at the sky.

Of course, such a talent must be very bad. There are a lot of vegetables, fruit slices, mussels, etc. around the fish head, and the decoration is colorful. The mouth of the fish was slightly peeled open, and a number of round berries were added. For example, cherry tomatoes, grapes, etc., are like this fish holding it in its mouth.

Not to mention, such a shape and taste quickly became the signature dish of the store. There is also a popular saying in the city: If you have never tasted the fairy spring and looked up at the starry sky, it is the same as if you have never been there.

In the past few days, the Sea Clan has not launched any attacks. Fairy Springs also sent Sea Knights (horses on water) to patrol the nearby waters, and if the seabirds reported that they were heading for a boat, they would rush to ensure that the ships were not attacked by the Sea Clans. In particular, they are equipped with fried fish balls and special seeds marked with "LOVE-128.torrent" on the sea surface, and it is not a problem to deal with the regular army formation of the Sea Clan of less than 200 people, let alone those miscellaneous soldiers who are not yet combat-effective. More than 300 people, it was no problem to escape with the boat. If there are more than 500, if the Sea Clan can send half an army of people to deal with a ship, it will be enough.
