The rising ground slowly stopped, and although it had not yet reached the exit from the top of the mountain, it was not far from there.

A hole in the smooth wall slowly opened, and then the otherwise silent crowd erupted again, and the people hiding in the carriage opened the door and got out of the compartment, some began to communicate in whispers, some did not say a word, but their attention was mostly focused on the hole.

Most of these people are mages.

Are you leaving here?" Lynch beckoned the two companions in the carriage to come down, and looked at the two men beside him who had also disembarked from the carriage.

A man and a woman, dressed in robes and with a mouthful of brown hair, also looked quite young, and the faint aura from their bodies told Lynch that they should be two mages.

The two of them, like everyone else, turned their attention to the slowly expanding hole, their lips squirming slightly, as if they were communicating in some way.

"Excuse me......"

As if they hadn't heard anything, they didn't react to Lynch's attempts to talk, still staring in the direction of the hole.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, and the huge hole stopped expanding, and the voices of the people became more and more noisy, and they moved, passing through the gap left by the carriages, and proceeding in an orderly manner towards the mouth of the cave.

The two young men beside him did not stop, following the flow of people, Lynch looked at the two curious babies standing behind him, but did not care much about the current situation, and sighed in his heart.

"Let's go," he said to the two children behind him, "this should be the entrance." ”

......

The main city of Kate is the highest longitudinal city in Thras.

By the power of magic, as sharp as the peaks, the tall buildings are firmly rooted in the steep peaks, and many of the buildings are lined with cliffs on the other side of the street. They are connected to each other by seemingly equally dangerous bridges or by resource-intensive elevators, but there are very few people coming and going between these tall buildings.

The city itself has a small population, and its main role is not for ordinary people, and generally speaking, most of the people who stay in the city are mages or relatives of mages.

In the center of the city, on top of a relatively thick hill that connects the mountains behind it, sits the city's grandest building, a tall, Gothic castle with minarets connected by pointed arches along the topography of the peaks, and the dark walls of the castle are intricately carved with ornamental patterns and colorful windows.

It's the residence of Councillor Kate, and at the same time, it's completely unconnected to any other buildings in the vicinity, and the owner doesn't like to be disturbed by people waiting for it - those who can afford it don't need to be connected to the castle by bridges, etc.

"I meant to have a banquet," the bepleasing woman with thick black eyeshadow stared at the girl in front of her, her back leaning back on a soft chair, and the small fountain pool on her right hand smelled of alcohol: "You are the first person I have invited to my private mansion." ”

Ying Lan smiled and stroked her hair, she didn't have any burden, she sat directly on the soft big bed, and the fragrance coming from it was the same as that of the woman opposite—in fact, if the makeup wasn't too thick, it could be called a girl.

This room should be Blake's bedroom. Ying Lan thought so. But it's really big and luxurious.

"This is your private mansion?"

"That's it after the transformation," replied the woman patiently, and at some point a delicate glass appeared in her hand, inlaid with crystals, "In fact, the whole hilltop should have been my private domain, like the dilapidated mansion of Old Wells. ”

"Wow......" Ying Lan sighed, lying on her back on the soft and comfortable bed, looking at the ceiling carved with all kinds of patterns, but it was pitch black: "You mages will really enjoy it." ”

"This is not the problem now," the woman's face appeared in Ying Lan's field of vision, she lowered her head to look at Ying Lan lying on her bed, and did not mind at all: "Why don't you plan to have a banquet? ”

"I don't like to have boring parties. ”

"Oh yes?" the woman replied, "I thought you would be the kind of person who likes to communicate." ”

Ying Lan didn't reply, she shifted her gaze to the face of the woman who was still looking down at her, sniffed lightly, and looked at the woman who was also staring at herself boldly: "You are very fragrant." ”

"Huh. Kateling's master chuckled, "Thank you." ”

"It's just that the makeup on the face is really ugly. ”

"You wait. ”

Kate immediately disappeared from Ying Lan's sight.

With a meaningful smile on her face, Ying Lan straightened up and looked at the private bedroom that belonged to Kate again.

Kate didn't disappear long before she reappeared in the bedroom and sat back in the big soft chair. At this time, the heavy makeup on her face had been completely removed, and now she looked more like an innocent little girl next door.

"What do you want to ask?"

Such a voice matches such a face.

"It's mainly about Perrisius and their Sunstrider family," Ying Lan responded, "I don't know if it's because we took in Perlicus, but the Sunstrider family's attitude towards us seems a little strange." ”

"Strangeness is inevitable. Kate responded, "They don't want Polysius to come back, or that most of their family should be tempted to kill Perisius right now." ”

"You ......"

"We're on the same side," Kate clearly knew what the person in front of her was trying to ask, "but the Sunstriders themselves are a fickle force, and they don't fit in with all of Thras, and there may be a reason why they are outsiders, but it should be more about their characteristics." ”

"Features?"

"They rely on the means of immortality," Kate continued, twisting the ornate black skirt with her two hands: "To live long by exchanging bodies—presumably, but each time they exchange they change their personality, or rather, well...... Someone else. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's that they think they're alive, when in fact they're a new individual. ”

"What does this have to do with the other Sunstriders' disgust with Perlicus?"

"Although Perlicus was the head of the family at the time, he was not actually the one with the highest status, but he secretly used the only perfect body that their family had kept secret for a long time. He provoked the envy of their entire family. ”

"A mid-bench member doesn't die so easily, and while I don't know exactly what happened to make Perisius die, it's certain that many of the Sunchasers are probably biased towards Mion. ”
