Chapter 68: Goodbye Shangguan Ziyan

If he could, Shangguan Zi** didn't want to see this domineering peer of the Shangguan family again. It's just that she is designated as the crown princess of the Great Qin Empire, so as the fiancée of the crown prince, her status will make almost everyone from the Great Qin Empire here have to be polite. Coupled with her own excellent grades in Oriental College, it is conceivable that this proud woman of heaven must be domineering, as if everyone in the world should respect her for three points. Although she is beautiful enough, such a beautiful woman has always been described in one word in Shangguan Ziyang's heart:.

The drunken Patrick didn't strike lightly or heavily, and a direct punch made the Templar incapable of fighting again, so Patrick advanced in a drunken state.

Seeing Patrick's victory, the Goddess Mercenary Group and others were ready to go home.

However, by coincidence, on the way back, I met someone Shangguan Ziyang didn't want to meet again: Shangguan Ziyan.

Since the names both have a "purple" character in them, it means that the two are actually from the same generation.

However, although they are of the same generation, Shangguan Ziyan is several years older than Shangguan Ziyang.

"I didn't expect you to be the head of the mercenary group!" Shangguan Ziyan stood in front of the team that obviously represented the Oriental Academy of the Great Qin Empire, and just bumped into Shangguan Ziyang's goddess mercenary group when she was out of the arena, and when she saw Shangguan Ziyang appear in the team, she immediately stepped forward and said condescendingly: "It's really promising, I didn't expect to be regarded as a guest by the elders of several major families, and even sent core disciples to protect you...... You...... What the hell is going on?"

Shangguan Ziyang obviously felt that Gu Xin's behavior was very unnatural - the other people from the Great Qin Empire, Dongfang Caihua, Nangong Yiyi, Ximen Chun, and Northern Tang Seng Jian, and even Saito Kenji all bowed slightly to this woman as a sign of respect, but Gu Xin shrank slightly, and his self, hidden by the wide cloak and hat, was quietly hidden behind Patrick's huge body, as if he was not from the Great Qin Empire, or was it ...... Is he hiding from the crown princess of the Great Qin Empire?

"How did I do it...... What's the matter with you?" Shangguan Ziyang stepped forward and scolded her directly, because she had never seen such a bully unhappy, whether it was a man or a woman. "You're so good, can't you do the same?"

"You ......" Shangguan Ziyan was speechless for a while, her palm flipped over, and for a while, there seemed to be a flash of light on her palm.

Seeing this, Dongfang Caihua and Northern Tang Seng Jian immediately flashed in front of Shangguan Ziyang and arched their hands: "The crown princess is angry, no matter what, this Shangguan lord is a very important figure in our four major families, and I also ask the princess to focus on the overall situation, don't be rash." ”

"......" Shangguan Ziyan looked at the Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian and Dongfang Caihua, who had bowed their hands to him and blocked Shangguan Ziyang tightly, and was silent for a while. Immediately after that, the palm of the hand was flipped over, and the light in the palm disappeared.

"Go with Hongu. Shangguan Ziyan said to the elites of the Oriental Academy behind her, and when she passed by the side of the goddess mercenary group, she dropped a sentence: "Don't forget that you are still a member of the Shangguan family." ”

"So what?" Shangguan Ziyang also retreated without humility or arrogance.

Looking at the distant backs of the Oriental Academy team, Shangguan Ziyang asked suspiciously, "Is this the elite team of the Great Qin Empire?"

"Maybe, but I still don't think they can beat us. Gu Xin, who was hiding under the black cloak, said in a disguised old voice, "In the team that came from the Oriental Academy this time, except for Shangguan Ziyan, who is indeed a master of the senior year, the other contestants are actually just freshmen in the lower grades. ”

"How can you see it?" Shangguan Ziyang asked in the tone of the Qin people.

"It's a badge. The Northern Tang monk replied first, "Except for the crown princess, the badges of the other team members are all junior students. ”

"I see, I really don't know. Shangguan Ziyang muttered to himself, "But why don't you send all the new students or all the old students?"

"Maybe in this way, the crown princess will be able to have absolute leadership in such a team...... Dongfang Caihua opened the folding fan with a "snap", and pretended to be very elegant.

"Why does she want such a strong leadership? Isn't it said that the teams sent by your major families are also very strong?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

"Strong is really strong, after all, they are all the core elites in the family, but our goal itself is not to be a champion. Nangong Yiyi always seemed to say with a smile.

Shangguan Ziyang was puzzled.

"Our goal is to get rid of all the potential opponents of the Oriental Academy. Northern Tang Seng Jian made it clear in one sentence.

"It's just that now because of your presence, the plan has changed slightly. Dongfang Caihua closed the paper fan with a "snap" and pretended to be very elegant.

"What do you say?" Shangguan Ziyang said very humbly.

"It's not very clear, but the elder told me that your safety is the number one priority at the moment, and that I can sacrifice myself if necessary. Dongfang Caihua's feminine voice seemed to say something that had nothing to do with him. And the descendants of the other three great families did not express any objections. This made Shangguan Ziyang surprised.

(It seems that the people of the Great Qin Empire are indeed not very normal, not only do they regard me as a "god", but they also have to die and live all day long...... ）

"Is it so dangerous?" Shangguan Ziyang was very surprised, "Why is it life and death at every turn...... Is life really so lowly in your eyes, including your own life?"

"Maybe...... Dongfang Zihua opened the folding fan with a "snap", and it was a fan of burning buns. At the same time, he looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and the expression on his face was sad and compassionate, as if he really thought he was a "turbid son".

I don't know why, Gu Xin, who has always been the most talkative, didn't say a word along the way, until he returned to the Duke's Palace, he muttered: "It's not easy to deal with now......"

Shangguan Ziyang was a little puzzled, but he didn't pay too much attention to Gu Xin's comic comparison.

"If the people of the Shangguan family are like that Shangguan Ziyan, I really have to consider the attitude towards the Shangguan family. Although this body does come from the Shangguan family, it is still debatable whether it is really 'recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors'...... In addition, I don't know what happened to the so-called strange 'relatives' in this world. Shangguan Ziyang carried the little white tiger snatched back from the hands of the "Ximen Beauty", and did not pay too much attention to the "Ximen Beauty" who was beaten by himself and was "pitiful".

casually threw the little white tiger into the room, "Ximen Chun, that guy is really disgusting!" Shangguan Ziyang dropped a sentence and sat down at the desk, and took out the "memoir" from the "god" ring again and looked at it.

"That's it, that guy is the most annoying! or the master is the best!" said the little white tiger as he ran to Shangguan Ziyang's feet and rubbed it, as he seemed to enjoy it.

"Go, go, play! I'm disturbed reading!" Shangguan Ziyang kicked the little white tiger away and said very unhappily.

The next day, Shangguan Ziyang left the Duke's Mansion again, followed by the two ghostly guys of the Northern Tang Dynasty Seng Jian and Dongfang Caihua. According to them, Shangguan Ziyang absolutely had to stay in the sight of the elite disciples of these four great families most of the time, just in case. If it weren't for Ximen Chun being controlled by Nangong Yiyi, it is estimated that the little white tiger would lose his freedom again, and he would be hugged and followed by Ximen Chun's arms, instead of coming out to spread joy by Shangguan Ziyang's side like this.

"Lord Shangguan, what is the purpose of your trip out of the Duke's Mansion this time?" Dressed in black and green tones, the style is the style of the classical Chinese nobles on the earth, the Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian, who is covered in pitch black skin, and only has dark green eyes, looked at this extremely spectacular man-made city in the sky, and asked Shangguan Ziyang Dao.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed some purpose - I read some books on elementary alchemy before, and I plan to see if there are any suitable materials here in Moon City......" Shangguan Ziyang touched his chin, seemed to think about it, and said.

"Are you planning to do alchemy experiments? Anyway, your subordinates have always felt that there are obvious spell fluctuations in your body, it seems that you are really a magician? And it seems that the level is not low?" Dongfang Caihua is still a dashing and handsome boy brother in the wind of Yushu, if he didn't know a little bit from others, he was really deceived by this transvestite guy who dressed as a man. I really don't know why the Qin people I saw, except for the Qin army team I met in the Demon Beast Mountain Range that time, there was no one with normal thoughts.

Oh no, strictly speaking, the guys around me who don't have normal human thoughts at all are a group of snake spirits, especially those who seem to have the attribute of shaking M. In a comprehensive comparison, Alice's thinking is closer to the thinking of a "normal person" in her mind. Of course, this is only "close...... After all, Alice is still young, and her values have not yet been fully established, so there should still be room for cultivation.

"Speaking of which, I did know some spells, but due to some unexpected circumstances, my magic was temporarily unusable. Shangguan Ziyang said casually (that magic-using "me" is now being conceived in that black "egg", what can I do?).

"Cut, master, you obviously don't believe in the existence of magic and can't use it......" The little white tiger who was trying to grab the butterfly was kicked away by Shangguan Ziyang before he finished speaking, and immediately lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

"Oh, that's a shame. Indeed, if you can't use magic for a while, maybe you can find a way by trying the alchemy that is common on the mainland. The Northern Tang monk Jian with a dark and stiff dead face said, "Of course, the subordinates don't understand magic, but the subordinates feel that this method really seems to be able to make you discover something, Lord Shangguan, maybe you can't say anything?"

"Although my subordinates don't know about your situation, Lord Shangguan, if you want to get a large amount of high-quality and reliable tools and potions, your subordinates suggest that you go to the Continental Mage United Association, and you may have unexpected gains. Dongfang Caihua slapped the folding fan in his hand and said.

"In that case, then according to what you said, go to the Moon City branch of the Continental Mage United Association. Shangguan Ziyang's purpose was immediately clear.

"No, the 'Continental Mage United Association' in Moon City is the headquarters, not the branch. Dongfang Caihua reminded carefully.

“...... Well, I don't know much about that. ”

However, what happened after that proved what it means to be "narrow".

When Shangguan Ziyang came to the Moon City Branch of the Continental Mage United Association, she happened to bump into the person she least wanted to see at this time.

"Why are you here?" With a domineering scolding, Shangguan Ziyang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Eldest sister, I still want to ask you, this Moon City is really small, I can meet you wherever I go! I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today!" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the noble cousin of the same clan in front of him, and his tone was quite helpless.

"Hmph, you still know that this palace is your sister???" Shangguan Ziyan raised her eyebrows, relying on her height, and condescendingly looked at Shangguan Ziyang, "That's how you talk to your sister??"

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, this is not my Great Qin land, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will calm her anger and don't make any extraneous branches. Dongfang Caihua stepped forward and bowed slightly to Shangguan Ziyan.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, if there is a dispute, although it can be resolved in the ring, I hope that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will give us a thin face for the sake of our classmates for many years, don't embarrass this Shangguan Ziyang, what is it?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid that you little girl won't be able to hold out to the moment of confrontation with me. Shangguan Ziyan's tone was very disdainful, "But you even became the leader of a small mercenary group, and you also received the help of the four great families...... I really don't know what kind of good luck you little girl has, but I'm very interested!"

"This is ...... with Her Royal Highness the Son of Heaven It doesn't seem to matter at all, right?And our mercenary group represents the Duke of the Wind's Mansion, and the team battle can directly advance to the semi-finals, Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you are worried about whether you can reach the duel with me!" Shangguan Ziyang, who was standing between Dongfang Zihua and Northern Tang Seng Jian, looked very petite, and her blonde hair and weird golden eyes made her look very unusual. It's just that the 3 hideous scratches on the left eye and the scar on the right cheek completely destroyed the half-race face that should have been cute, but added a strange cruelty.

"What a sharp-toothed little girl, it seems that she has not been educated in the family, and she really has no temperament, and she knows all about quarrels. Shangguan Ziyan still said condescendingly.

"You have received a good education from the family, but in my opinion, the Shangguan family's family education is not very good!" Shangguan Ziyang sneered.

"But what are you doing here in this Mage Association?" Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Ziyan tried to calm herself down, and then asked in an almost questioning tone.

"This ...... It seems that it is also with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess...... It doesn't matter, right?" Shangguan Ziyang replied with an indifferent attitude, "And Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess...... Why are you here? You don't look like a mage?"

"Hmph!" Shangguan Ziyan snorted coldly, "What is this palace doing here, you have no right to ask." See you on the stage then. Saying that, Shangguan Ziyan passed by the three of them, and the students of the Oriental Academy behind her also followed.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Shangguan Ziyang bowed slightly to Shangguan Ziyan who left, but the expression on his face did not mean any respect.

"Hmph!" It is estimated that Shangguan Ziyan will not have any other words, so she will only snort coldly.

So Shangguan Ziyang didn't pay too much attention to the departing Shangguan Ziyan, and walked directly into the Continental Mage United Association.

The feeling of the headquarters and the branch is different, first of all, the momentum of the building and the branch are not half a star. The branch of the Mage Guild is the size of a Holy Light Church, but this headquarters looks like a city. It seems that the authority of the Mage Association in the Dark Moon Empire is not small, and it turned out to be the second largest building complex in Moon City after the Elemental Magic Academy.

The three of them walked into this Continental Mage United Association, and after entering it, they found that there were a lot of people inside. More than half of them are elves.

No way, it is said that the elves are born with "elemental bodies", and they are a race that can definitely become mages. Humans, on the other hand, are much inferior and rely heavily on talent. Most humans have no affinity for magic, so they are not destined to become mages. And those who have a magical affinity, there are also many people who stay in the magic apprenticeship stage for life, unable to become magicians and disappear. Therefore, Shangguan Ziyang, who was certified as an intermediate magician at the age of 10, is definitely a "magical girl" who is a genius among geniuses. But it's a pity that this "genius magical girl" is now sleeping in the black "egg" of that spiritual world.

However, when it comes to the division of mage levels, it is the level formulated by the Continental Mage United Association. It corresponds to the corresponding magic level. Normally, you can independently cast spells of a certain level, that is, you are a mage of the corresponding level.

Regular spell levels are graded from 1 to 9, and magic beyond level 9 is called a "forbidden spell". Every forbidden spell has the power to destroy the world. When the spaceship crashed that day, the elven air battleship formation released the forbidden spell that could easily defeat the three large curipedes.

And the corresponding titles of the mage are:

Magic Apprentice - Able to unleash level 1 magic independently;

Wizard - Able to unleash level 2 magic independently;

Wizard - Able to unleash level 3 magic independently;

Grand Magician - Able to unleash level 4 magic independently;

Magician - Able to unleash level 5 magic independently;

Archmage - Able to unleash level 6 magic independently;

Magister - Able to unleash level 7 magic independently;

Archmagister - Able to unleash level 8 magic independently;

Sage - Able to independently unleash level 9 magic;

Legend has it that there are only a few people who have surpassed the level of sages, and that is the 3 founders of the Continental Mage Association:

Astor Ibrahim Trista Troy

St. Johns Alexandria Ariel

Ash Kendetros Darkmoon

These three are actually the Sage of Darkness, the Qur'an god Troy, the god of light, Pope Ariel, and the elven queen Darkmoon.

and the last human on the continent to become a god, and the legendary god of war who became a god of double cultivation:

Undefeated in the East!

Legend has it that the dark sage Quran, the teacher of Astor and Pope St. Johns was the first god on the continent - the goddess of nature. And the elven queen Ash, the daughter of the goddess of nature. In other words, the Qur'anism and the Holy Religion of Light are actually of the same origin, and it is not known why the followers of the two religions later fell in love with each other.

If the legend is true, then the Great Sage, the Pope and the Elven Empress don't know if there will be any stories of love and killing, so that in the current human world, the Eastern Great Qin Empire is the only family; in the west and the middle, the Ancient Religion and the Light Holy Sect love and kill each other; and the Southern Continent is a corner of the Elven Empire, and from time to time there are military conflicts with the Eastern Continent Great Qin Empire.

"Hmm...... In this way, the relationship between these three people is really ambiguous......" Shangguan Ziyang said to himself while looking at the stone tablets and history of the hierarchy in the Mage Association.

"Of course, after all, it's a story between two students and a daughter, and the goddess of nature shouldn't know anything...... "Dongfang Caihua" No matter how ambiguous their relationship is, it was countless years ago, and they are no longer in this world now, and it seems pointless for us to discuss these here. ”

"That's right. Shangguan Ziyang looked at the map on the wall of the Mage Association, which explained the structure of the Mage Association in detail, and what surprised Shangguan Ziyang the most was that in addition to the things that could be purchased directly with money, there was also an area where barter. Isn't this already a civilized world? Why is there still bartering? Or is it in this Continental Mage Association?

"My lord, because not everything in this world can be measured in terms of money. Some things are too precious and are not things that can be measured in money, so they can only exchange things that make the other party happy, which leads to bartering. If you want to come here before Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, I guess it's just to see if there is anything you want. As if seeing Shangguan Ziyang's doubts, the Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian Yin explained in a measured voice, "It is said that in the headquarters of the Mage Association, sometimes holy weapons and even artifacts can appear. ”

"Holy weapons and artifacts?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the Langton Omen on the fingers of his left hand, which turned into a ring-shaped ring, and the three-phase power on his chest that turned into a pendant-like shape, "Is this precious?"

"Of course it's precious! Each artifact is inextricably linked to the gods of this continent—so most artifacts are not only powerful, but also have various special abilities. Even if it's not an artifact of this kind, because it has an inextricable relationship with the gods, in the eyes of those who are interested, it is priceless!" Dongfang Caihua was very surprised by Shangguan Ziyang's ignorance, "However, although the 'holy weapon' is inferior to the artifact, it is also a priceless treasure because it is the pinnacle of many dwarves or elven masters." Don't you seem to know any of this?"

(Because I have, I don't think it...... Is this "what is not precious is the most precious"?)

"In that case, wouldn't it be dangerous for someone with a holy weapon or an artifact?" Shangguan Ziyang didn't seem to have encountered any danger since he thought about what he had synthesized the scroll. Even if the village chief of Alice saw it at the time, there was still nothing wrong, so he asked suspiciously.

"Although both the holy and the sacred are precious, that means that what is precious without an owner. The Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian's compassionate voice sounded, "Because the holy weapon and the artifact are spiritual, once the master is recognized, not only can the owner use it, but any behavior that threatens the safety of the master will be automatically counterattacked by the holy weapon or artifact." Therefore, only the artifact that does not recognize the Lord is the most valuable. ”

(it, hang it like this?...... Shangguan Ziyang thought about the first duel between himself and Kenji, before Kenji's thrust stabbed him in the face, all the damage was actively borne by Langton's Omen, it seems that this is the principle?

"It's so precious, why would it be traded?" Shangguan Ziyang was puzzled.

"In the eyes of those who are interested, they are priceless, but in the hands of those who don't need it, the value of artifacts is not necessarily as valuable as what they are more interested in in exchange for other people. Dongfang Caihua said with a smile.

Shangguan Ziyang probably understands that there is a market to be valuable. Value is given by the person who needs it, not what it is born with.

However, these things are none of Shangguan Ziyang's business, Shangguan Ziyang bought some experimental equipment and various colors of "chemical (magic) potions" that are almost the same as those in the school laboratories on the earth in the previous life, and prepared to go back.

Shangguan Ziyang thought and asked Dongfang Caihua, "You seem to know magic, so have you ever learned alchemy?"

"I haven't studied alchemy, but I've learned something like alchemy. Dongfang Caihua closed the folding fan, "That is the 'machine technology' taught in the school." ”

(Wait, I remember that the book left by that pioneer predecessor seems to have a copy of "Jiyu Technology"?) But Shangguan Ziyang didn't show anything, just nodded, "I see." ”

Although the Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian and Dongfang Caihua didn't know what Shangguan Ziyang meant by the phrase "so it is", they didn't ask.

So a few people planned to go back to the Duke's Palace directly.

But what I didn't expect was that on the way back, I met someone I didn't want to meet very much.

"I didn't expect us to be so fateful, Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Shangguan Ziyang took the lead in bowing slightly to show respect, but there was not even the slightest respect on his face, and some of them seemed to be a faint mocking smile.

"It's really fate...... "It looks like she should be on the way shopping, because next to her, there is a girl with red hair and red eyes, who looks like she should be a girl from the Nangong family, and a girl with black and white hair "cat ears" with silver-white eyes, but the pupils are vertical. If nothing else, this cute-looking "cat girl" should be a girl from the Simon family.

It's just that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess saw Shangguan Ziyang's posture, and the expression on her face was very exciting.

"It's really a coincidence, I can meet you here!" Shangguan Ziyan looked Shangguan Ziyang up and down with a complicated face, "You're not following the palace, are you?"

"Stalking you, dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, what do you have that is worthy of me as a villain?"

"You...... Hmph!Who knows what your intentions are for following this palace!" Shangguan Ziyan seemed to be angry, "Otherwise, how could this palace and you meet three times in one day so coincidentally!"

"How do I know? Could it be that this is 'fate'?!" The expression on Shangguan Ziyang's face was almost provocative, and he didn't smile, "Villain, I almost thought that Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess was following the villain!"

"You ......" Shangguan Ziyan was about to say something more when she was interrupted by a voice.

"Are you the senior of the Northern Tang Dynasty Monk Jian, so handsome, can you make friends with me?" The girl who looked like the Nangong family suddenly ran to the side of the Northern Tang Monk and said with a smile, but the Northern Tang Dynasty Monk Jian still maintained a cold appearance and did not respond at all.

"Hey, this is the child of our Simon family, why was you signed a contract without changing shape?Who are you?" The girl who ran to tease the little white tiger on the side didn't know when she asked Shangguan Ziyang with a very unfriendly face.
