Chapter 53: The Duke of the Wind
Chapter 53: The Duke of the Wind
After a night's rest, all the members were called up by Commander Gu Xin early the next morning, and got into the carriage to Moon City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Patrick, you're too big, aren't you?
"Go, go, children, don't get involved with adults!" Patrick said arrogantly, "this is my ability!"
"The Sprinkle family thinks so too!" said Blue very arrogantly, one person occupied the position of two people, and he was complacent about it.
"It looks like we'll need at least three wagons. Gu Xin was not surprised by this.
"Guest officer, are you in a hurry to go to Moon City so early?" one of the elven grooms asked Gu Xindao.
"No, although I don't have to be in a hurry, wouldn't it be better to solve the problem sooner if I finish it earlier? And the distance is not close, and if there is a traffic jam at that time, it will be troublesome. Gu Xin still said in his disguised voice.
"It seems that there is going to be a conference or something these days, and there are indeed many more people than before, and there will really be traffic jams. The elven groom, who looked like a woman in her thirties and forties, said very approvingly, "After all, in order to increase the transportation capacity during this time, a large number of carriages have been added, and it is indeed possible to jam the traffic when there is a lot of traffic." ”
"And where are you going in the city?" asked another elven coachman.
"Can you get to the vicinity of the Duke of the Wind's mansion?" asked Gu Xin.
"Of course...... Are you visiting the Duke of the Wind?"
"No, we're just going to get around there. Gu Xin said very calmly.
"Understood. The elven coachman replied cheerfully.
So everyone rode in three carriages and headed towards the spectacular Moon City in front of them. There were three carriages, the first of which was ridden by Shangguan Ziyang, Gu Xin, Alice and Kenji. The second carriage was ridden by Blue, Araz, Ike, and Amiri, and the third carriage was directly Patrick.
Three carriages traveled from the satellite city of Mooncity to Mooncity along the bridge in the early morning glow.
This bridge in the sky is 300 meters wide and about 10 kilometers long, because it is high in the air, so even if the construction materials of the bridge seem so reliable, and the bridge is so wide, it still makes Shangguan Ziyang feel very unsafe. It's just that in such a high altitude, there is no imaginary wind, and there is no altitude sickness, which is really a bit against scientific common sense.
"It's a magic shield. Gu Xin answered Shangguan Ziyang's question, "It is a wind-based magic shield that maintains the air pressure in the shield and controls the wind. In fact, Moon City's magic shield is a rational attribute magic shield, that is, there are magic shields of any element, and these magic shields can prevent objects from entering under control...... And these magic shields are large enough to enclose the entire Moon City, including the satellite cities. And each satellite city and the moon city itself have their own separate magic shields. ”
"You know this in detail, we don't know that much. The coachman who drove the car for Shangguan Ziyang and the others said.
"Of course, after all, the one who knows himself best is still his enemy...... Of course, that's all we can say at the moment. Gu Xin seemed to say with emotion.
"Oh, speaking of which, looking at your clothes, it seems that you are from the Qin Kingdom. ”
"Yes, after all, the Demon Martial Arts Conference is about to be held, and we just want to join in the fun, just want to take a few championships. "Gu Xin began to brag about B.
"You are very confident, guest officer!" said the elven coachman with a smile as he drove the unicorn.
"That's because we have that strength!" Gu Xinniu B blew without thinking about it at all, "after all, we are so powerful." ”
"That'...... I wish you excellent results in the future Demon Martial Arts Tournaments!" said the elf coachman, following the old and new boasting bull B.
The length of this bridge in the sky is 10 kilometers, so that when the satellite cities behind it become smaller and smaller in the back, the moon city in front of you still seems to be so unreachable. Observing such a man-made structure on such a bridge in the sky is really thrilling.
The carriage was not fast, and it was not until it was close to noon that it finally reached the vicinity of the Duke's palace of the Duke of the Wind.
"I seem to have seen the building on the road just now that says 'Continental Magicians United Association', but it's not at all the same as the one we saw in Beisha Leaving City, could this be the headquarters?" Shangguan Ziyang said.
"That's right, the headquarters of the Continental Mage Association is in Moon City," Gu Xin said while settling the bill for the elven coachman, "After all, the largest mage collective on the continent is in the Elf Empire, so it doesn't seem strange that the mage association is headquartered in Moon City." ”
"No wonder the elves seem so rich, after all, magic is the primary productive force here, right?" Shangguan Ziyang began to enter a state of emotion.
"'Magic is the primary productive force'?" Gu Xin thought thoughtfully, "Maybe you're right, the Dark Moon Empire is indeed one of the richest countries on the continent. A great deal of wealth can be obtained just by producing and selling magic wizards. Gu Xin agreed.
"The capital is different, it's so much more populous and the buildings are much taller. Alice was amazed.
"Indeed, the number of people in the vicinity is about the same as that of the city of Saint-Martin. Shangguan Ziyang said. "But unlike human cities, human cities don't have so many flying inhabitants - they don't have such a huge tree, and there are no large buildings built directly on top of them. ”
"Aha, in fact, the Duke of the Wind Mansion we are going to is built on the branches of this tree of wisdom. Gu Xin smiled proudly.
"It's unbelievable. "I never thought that there would be such a huge tree in the world! it is really bigger than I imagined! This tree should be the biggest life place of the elves, right? I can feel that this big tree has almost endless vitality on it!"
"Incredible, unbelievable. I really don't know how to describe it...... What a big guy!" Blue said, looking at the super-large tree in the center of the city, known as the "Tree of Wisdom."
"Yes, I admit it's a spectacular view, but we're not here to see the tree. Gu Xin said solemnly in his disguised old voice, "We have other things. ”
"Do you know where to go next in the Duke of the Wind?" Ike asked.
"It was a hassle for us to go straight up to the branches, so we had to call a taxi. Gu Xin said, then looked at the bustling streets and the magic carriage flying overhead from time to time, "It's a magic carriage like this that can save us a lot of trouble." ”
So the crowd looked at the carriage without wheels that was not flying overhead, and did not say anything.
"This kind of carriage is needed for short-distance operations, and in most cases it cannot be used for long distances, so in the elven air city, this kind of transportation is still a very widely used means of transportation. Gu Xin, who was sitting in the magic carriage, said, as if he was now a tour guide, and everyone else was a hillbilly.
"Cities that are mostly human are not suitable, do they? I still don't see that Hayabusa Knight is human, let alone human or male. Shangguan Ziyang speculated, "And although the Pepalde can do the same thing, it is too big and useless." ”
Shangguan Ziyang and his entourage finally arrived in front of the so-called "Duke of Feng's Mansion" after a period of time.
"It's amazing how the building is built. "Amiri observed the building, built of different layers of unknown stone on multiple branches nearly a kilometer in diameter," seemed to ...... The elves have a soft spot for reflective building materials, which are polished and smooth, but they seem to have a strong reflective ability!"
"Who are you, why are you pointing in front of the Duke's Palace?" It is estimated that the behavior of his group is so strange that the doorman of the Duke's Palace began to ask questions to everyone.
"Please tell the Duke, our Goddess Mercenary Regiment has completed the mercenary mission issued by the Duke, and now brings Aberia to meet the Duke. Gu Xin stepped forward and made a salute and said.
"Please wait. As soon as one of the guards finished speaking, his wings shook and he flew into the Duke's palace.
Not long after, probably a few minutes, the elf flew back and said, "Lord Duke, waiting for you in the study. Please come with me, everybody. Saying that, another doorman opened the door, and he walked in front to guide Shangguan Ziyang and the others.
Among the people who entered the Duke's Palace, except for Gu Xin, Xianzhi and Shangguan Ziyang, the other guys looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and Gu Xin was for the necessary calmness, and Xianzhi was very indifferent to external things. And for Shangguan Ziyang, looking around in other homes is a very bad thing.
"Just look at it, and don't mess with other people's things. Shangguan Ziyang said to several of his companions who were very uncalm.
"Understood. I see. Patrick replied as the bull's head turned, and the horns on his head knocked over a rockery.
"You ......" Shangguan Ziyang was really speechless.
"It's okay, someone will take care of it later, let's go see the Duke first. Seeing this situation, the elf who led the way in front said to Shangguan Ziyang, who was about to reprimand.
"Why don't you pay attention to it, Yamiri, you look at him!" Shangguan Ziyang said very unpleasantly.
"Yes, Lord Shangguan. Amiri returned cheerfully.
"The Duke is waiting for you in the study, please come in. The elf led the group to a building surrounded by foliage, and said.
"Let's go. Gu Xin did not hesitate, and took the lead in pushing the door into the building. Shangguan Ziyang followed and entered the building, so the scene that appeared in front of Shangguan Ziyang was: a very spacious room, with many bookshelves full of all kinds of books on both sides, and in front of the door there was a large desk that looked very sturdy, and in the middle sat an elf who looked like a woman about 30 years old from a human being, with blue and cyan hair that seemed to give people a very fresh feeling, and a beautiful face (it seems that I have not seen an ugly-looking elf so far). ?), looking intently at a book in his hand (what seems to be a magic book?). When all the people had come in, she put down the books in her hand, got up and said to them:
"You say you found Aberia, where is it?"
Shangguan Ziyang set his sights on Kenji.
Kenji's eyes, which had been half-squinted, seemed to be closed directly at this time, only to see his head tilted to the left, and his shoulders immediately emitted a blue-blue light, gradually converging towards his right shoulder, and finally gathering into a human figure, only to find that it was a little elf the size of a cat sitting on Kenji's right shoulder. Kenji had done this in front of everyone before, but it seemed as if the elf had disappeared since then.
"You ...... Signed a contract?" The Duke of the Wind looked at the elf sitting on Kenji's right shoulder, "Naughty child, don't come over quickly!" So the elf on Kenji's shoulder shook its wings and flew in front of the Duke of the Wind, and the Duke of the Wind stretched out his right hand, and the elf called "Aberia" stopped in the palm of the Duke of the Wind.
"Now that the goal has been achieved, what ...... Next, let me break this contract. Kenji said as he pulled out one of the ridiculous six swords hanging from his waist on either side, and thrust the tip of the knife into the ground, and the moment the tip of the knife touched the mantle, a glowing formation appeared with the tip of the knife as the center. At the same time, both Kenji and the elf emitted a white glow.
Seeing this, everyone immediately retreated to the surroundings, watching the light on Kenji and the elf Aberia all pour into this formation on the ground, and after just a few seconds, the formation disappeared without a trace, as if the light and formation just now had never appeared.
"I am so grateful that you were able to get my children back. The Duke of the Wind placed Aberia on his desk, stood up and bowed to the crowd, "I will keep my promise and give you the reward you deserve." ”
"You're welcome, it's our honor to be able to help the Duke in what we can. Gu Xin began to be polite.
"No, you deserve it. The Duke of the Wind said, "By the way, are you going to participate in this Demon Martial Arts Conference?"
"If nothing else, yes. Gu Xin said.
"It's about a month before the conference officially opens, do you have a place to stay?" asked the Duke of the Wind.
"For the time being...... No. Gu Xin said very calmly.
"So...... If you don't dislike it...... "Duke of the Wind looked at all the members of the goddess mercenary group present, "It's better to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a while, after all, the hotels outside are basically booked now, because there are many powerful forces joining the conference, and those hotels and hotels may have been booked out a long time ago, right?"
"This ...... Not really, okay?" this time Shangguan Ziyang opened his mouth and said, "After all, although our mercenary group is not big, there are quite a few people......
"Don't worry, this is my thank you for bringing my child back safely. You are the honored guests of the Duke's Mansion during this time, please accept your gratitude!" The Duke of the Wind gave people a feeling of fresh breath, so that Shangguan Ziyang didn't know whether to refute or not.
"Since the Duke said so, thank you so much. Gu Xin didn't have any opinion on this, and generously accepted the Duke of Wind's proposal.
"Actually, as the Duke of the Wind, I have a team to participate in the tournament alone, and I can skip the early tournament and enter the mid-tournament as the seeded team, I don't know what the ...... is" The Duke of the Wind seems to have a plan.
"Thank you for your kindness, I don't think it's needed. Gu Xin saluted and said, "We participated in the Demon Martial Arts Conference this time, in order to communicate with the elites from all over the mainland, if we directly skip the early stage of the game and go directly to the mid-stage game, won't we lose our original vision?" Gu Xin said very decently. Shangguan Ziyang swears that today is the first time he has seen Gu Xin so serious-even if he knows that he is actually acting under the cloak and hat now, but this gap is too big, right? Seeing a mature beauty like the Duke of the Wind communicating so calmly, could this guy be a perverted lolita?可~~ I feel a chill when I think about it-especially since my current appearance is a little Lori......
