In the early morning of the 27th day of the Sword Lily Moon (September) in the third age of the El Continent Gods Calendar 3025, the city of Bordeaux, which had been noisy all night, finally quieted down at this moment, because of overindulgence and tired night men and women yawned, disheveled on the way home, and stayed up all night, the gamblers with red eyes like rabbits either shouted with excitement to show the world his luck, or like the walking dead, and some of the more radical guys in the latter gathered at the exit of the casino, shared a burning cigarette, and then threw down the cigarette butts, turned around and walked into the underground casino that had swallowed up most of their wealth, and a small number of these people relied on their fleeting luck to win back what they had lost, and turned to become a new person, but most of them have since disappeared from everyone, or even worse.

But no matter how much the people of the city love it, or how much they hate it, the thriving gold-encrusted rose is like a spell, stubbornly attracting everyone's attention, and recently there have even been big businessmen from the northern and southern hills of the continent, who have been drained of the last bit of money they carry with them by a variety of luxuries, and will always be invited to the secret office at the top to discuss with the mysterious people sitting in it, and finally get a license to operate a chain and a just contract from the holy warrior or priest of the Temple of Justice, in the days to comeAs long as these lucky pioneers are not too wasteful in their own ability, most of them ended up becoming famous rich people in the mainland, and even their children and grandchildren are proud of the courage that their parents mustered at the beginning.

Although for the parties involved, it is just a kind of all-or-nothing luck after being uncertain.

Wendy, dressed in a simple and heavy pajamas, held a cup of tea in her hand, and sat quietly on the chair that Elivan had favored, and in the morning of the rising sun, in the highest position in the city, the gentle wind blew her beautiful face, like the most gentle touch of a lover, and for a time made the temporary host behind the gold-encrusted rose fall into a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Da, da!"

The footsteps from behind didn't make Wendy turn around, and in this place where the gold-encrusted roses were almost the most heavily defended, there were only a few people who could walk in calmly, and sure enough, a young and deep voice sounded then,

"Second sister..."

Wendy's body moved, her voice was no longer the gentleness she had when she faced Eleven, but a hoarse voice that contained some pain and anxiety, of course, this was not Wendy's intention, but Elevin had completely lost the news recently, which made the little girl who was already worried about him more and more anxious, and her whole throat was almost swollen.

"Still no news?

Although it is now the dry weather of autumn, Pars is wearing a thick velvet trench coat that he has only had the opportunity to wear in the cold winter, and he is wearing a pair of exquisite fur gloves on his hands, Rao is so, but his face is still cold and white, but judging from the sparkle in his eyes and vigorous movements, this guy's situation is much better than when he was in Sam City, but now he is trembling and standing not far behind Wendy, without a trace of superfluous movements, the reason why he is so respectful is that he has been bullied by Wendy since he was a child, and secondly, because in order to save him, Elivan now lives and dies, from the day he fled from Sam City, Pars's heart was full of guilt, and this guilt became heavier and heavier as time went on day by day, hearing Wendy's question, Pars hesitated for a moment, but still said the latest news,

"I just got the first-hand news from the Stalker Guild, it is said that there is a mysterious ruthless character who blew up the Demon Hunting Tower of the Nine Towers Council, and also killed at least ten high-level mages and two heavyweight leaders of the Demon Hunting Department, as for the low-level mages and apprentices, there are countless casualties, it is said that the Nine Towers Council has recalled the five elite battle mage troops in the northern Xinjiang, and there are mages in the Stalker Guild in the name of a private person to issue a bounty, whoever catches that ruthless character, a direct reward of 200,000, and a reward of 10,000 for providing information, I estimate that guy is Elivan, and since the Nine Towers Council issued a bounty, it means that they did not catch Elivan on the spotMaybe that guy has escaped and is now rushing to Bordeaux. ”

Pars said as he waved his arms excitedly, he himself was very sincere in hoping that his guess was correct, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that Elivan could not survive such a strong explosion, that kind of terrifying scene, it is said that even the high-level stalkers secretly sent by the Stalker Guild to Sam City to investigate the situation were startled, and when they came back to describe it, they actually used the word "hell on earth", you can imagine how bad the situation is.

Pars's small movements naturally couldn't hide Wendy's eyes, she turned around, put the cold tea in her hand on the table, and her beautiful eyes looked directly at Pars, making the latter stand trembling in place.

"Is it really bad? Is it so bad that you're all lying to me?"

Wendy asked in a low voice, her expression was as usual, but the indifference in her words was very similar to that of Elivan when facing the enemy, Pars was panicked when he heard this, and immediately replied with his hands in waves,

"That's not the case, second sister, don't think about it! Everyone just doesn't want you to worry too much! Well, I'll tell you all!"

Pars let out a long sigh and slowly recounted what he had recently heard.

The current situation is far less optimistic than Pars said, in the third hour after the Nine Towers Council confirmed that it was attacked, the tower master of the Brilliant Tower, known as the Brilliant Lightning, who had been traveling for three years, rushed back to Sam City, and with him came back with thirty guardians of the Tower of Splendour, a high-level spellbreaker team known as the "Mage Buster", and in the fifteenth hour after the incident, the tower master of the Tower of Change, the Arcanist Gryll, who is said to have been concentrating on cultivation in a certain place, fell from the sky The moment he landed in Sam City, he summoned a large group of extremely fast, small-sized astral planes, and blocked the entrance and exit of the entire Gray and White Plains with the power of one person, and the Council of the Nine Towers also immediately issued a statement that the entire Gray and White Plains had entered a state of war, and everyone was allowed to enter and not leave, which was considered to have completely cut off Elivan's chance to escape.

And according to the reliable information obtained by the Stalker Guild, the afternoon before yesterday, there were already three teams of elite battle mages who broke away from the Northern Frontier Front and rushed back to the Gray Plains from the Dragon Canyon in the stars and moons, accompanied by the Lord of the Warlock Tower, who has been active near the Barren Stone Plateau recently, and is also the "King of Warlocks" who is also an Arcanist Trisleman, that is to say, once the most powerful forces of the Council of the Nine Towers return to Sam City, the now impregnable Grey Plains will become even more difficult to hide, and if Elevenn is still alive, then he must escape from the Grey Plains before the arrival of the King of Battlemages and Warlocks, otherwise once the most skilled battlemages return, there is a high chance that Elevenn will die without a place to be buried.

And with the surging of the gray plains, the surrounding countries also immediately accelerated their actions, the border guards of various countries began to move frequently, and a large number of mercenaries began to enter this area, and people with a discerning eye can see that this time the attack on the Nine Towers Council is definitely the best opportunity for the surrounding countries that have been oppressed by the barbarian mages for a long time to resist and break away, which is why the Nine Towers Council asked the surrounding countries to immediately want the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce after the attack was refused, the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce together with the Waujin Temple and the upper echelons of the Principality of House, which have been operating in secretThe Nine Towers Council has been exploiting the surrounding scattered countries for decades, and these countries and organizations have long coveted the commercial system that the Nine Towers Council occupies under the banner of the Nine Towers Council, which is simply lying down to make money, and the hatred and hostility accumulated by all kinds of filth have also been quite intense, this time there is the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the middle of the continent, as the leader, how can others not be willing to cooperate with the beating of the water dogs？

In fact, the reason why the rulers of these small countries dare to sing against the powerful mages at this time is very simple, it is nothing more than one person, this time there are as many as six or seven small countries participating in the secret alliance, nominally speaking, they have occupied half of the thirteen countries in Northern Xinjiang, which is equivalent to them have tied the other alliance countries to the chariot, although there may be some diplomatic disputes afterwards, but as long as you can get real benefits, it doesn't matter if you send more diplomats to fight the skin, so the current situation has become like this: as long as the mages of the Nine Towers do not want to officially turn their faces with the Northern Frontier AllianceAt most, they have formed a mortal enmity with the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but after they rebuild the completely destroyed workshop area, those lost profits can never be returned, and in such a long time, those idle commercial channels have long been cleaned up by other chambers of commerce.

Therefore, this attack by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Elivan simply burned the Nine Towers Council to the end of decades of efforts, and once other organizations hostile to the Nine Towers Council saw that the mages had no way to take revenge on the abusers, the flame of hatred and ambition would burn brightly, and the days of peace in the middle of the continent would never return.

As for where does the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce come from that it dares to go head-to-head with the Council of the Nine Towers?

The answer is the Waujin Chamber of Commerce, the goddess of wealth has been troubled by her stagnant divine power, and the knowledge given to him by Elivan has become a means to try, it is said that recently the Great Temple of Waujin in the port city of Sastan of the Union of the Marlborough Straits has begun to try to serve merchants with short-term loans and long-term deposits, and some priests of the temple have also begun to recommend a method called "insurance" to believers in the name of the goddess Because the goddess of Waukin, the absolutely neutral goddess, has an indisputable reputation on the mainland, so whether it is a loan or a deposit, and even the effect of insurance is surprisingly good, in just a few months, the entire Sastan has more than 20% of believers who have converted to the goddess Waukin, which is said to have satisfied the goddess, and within a week, she issued three oracles in a row, ordering her pope to push these effective means to the whole continent。

Wauquin is undoubtedly a trustworthy god, so she reciprocated the favor and ordered the Bordeaux City Waujin Temple as the hidden force of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce to help them bear the mage's crazy revenge counterattack head-on, and even in the case of the heavy losses of the Bordeaux City Waujin Temple, she also directly mobilized all the high-level priests near the northern Xinjiang to Bordeaux City, as if she was going to fight a long-term war, and the Nine Towers Council that learned about this was also quite difficult to ride, if the opponent was only a mortal country and a merchant organization, then kill it, and it would be impossible to slaughter the city, it would be nothing more than a loss of reputation, but if a god was involved, and a great god with medium divine power whose followers are all over the continent, and even the lower and upper creatures are involved, then they must think about the consequences of this war continuing.

Even if the world rules of Eldorn do not allow the gods to come in person, they can only appear as saints, but once they really anger a god, it will lead to the terrible "God War" Outbreak, even if there is only that possibility, the Nine Towers Council will be immediately surrounded by the powerful forces of the entire world, and even hit, no one wants the God War to break out, because that means that everything they have now will be wiped out, this is not some kind of conjecture, counting the history of various eras, the only few God Wars have resulted in the overall backwardness of regional civilization, of course, those recorded in the history that have been destroyed are only occasionally mentioned, and their true situation is unknown, but Rao is so, and the mages do not dare to act rashly, after all, the goddess of the magic net is notoriously dislike to meddle with these things, unless Wokin is mad to slaughter the mages of the whole continent, otherwise, it is basically impossible for this side, which is only a representative of the continental mage, to use the power of the gods.

To sum up, the tower masters of the Nine Towers Council are not crazy after all, on the contrary, they are all arcane masters with superhuman intelligence, so these insidious guys have chosen the third option besides war and truce, stalemate!

It has to be said that this choice is excellent, even the omnipotent gods will not waste a lot of resources in worldly confrontation for a long time, once the goddess Waujin is tired of this boring confrontation and chooses to withdraw the priests and knights in various places, then it will be time for the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and those stupid worldly kings to pay the price.

The mages who figured it out were not in a hurry at all, and the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce was even more happy to see this relatively peaceful environment, between the attitude of the upper echelons, the lower echelons of the two sides of the frontal battle rationally chose a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, so half a month after the attack on Sam City, the commercial activities of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce returned to normal, but this time, they went out under the banner of the Waujin Temple, and Mrs. Hu, who was the leader of the caravan this time, wore a dog-like armor of a king-sized Waujin Temple Holy Warrior, and arrogantly threw five or six boxes of gold coins in front of those stunned mages, in the tone of a pretentious clergyman,

"In the name of my god Wokin, this is enough compensation for all the unpleasantness before, enough for you to repair the buildings of Sam City, and the supreme god has handed over an olive branch to repair relations, do not let this olive branch fall from your hands!"

The leading magister looked at Khufu who turned around and left after pretending to be b with an idiotic look, he forcibly held back a fireball and planned to paralyze the debris in front of him, and then squinted at the mottled gold coins, and his heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, Khufu was right, these gold coins are indeed enough to repair the buildings in the workshop area, but the problem is, just repairing those buildings is of a hairy use!! the workers and craftsmen that the council has worked hard to save for decades have been killed by you, okay? Is your little gold enough to make a master craftsman?

Of course, he didn't say the last sentence involving blasphemy, but reported the matter to the high-level of the Nine Towers Council as it was, and several tower owners were also stunned by such shamelessness, but when they realized the dirty deal behind this, they couldn't help but curse a few foul words, no wonder the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce dared to directly provoke the Nine Towers Council, originally their actions had already been secretly approved by the goddess Workin, and I don't know at what cost these mortals communicated with the unattainable gods, and let a god with medium divine power willingly be a backer for them, but no matter what, on the surface, the goddess Workin has already given compensationThis means that the gods think that this matter should end here, and does the Council of the Nine Towers have the courage to reject the "friendship" of a god?

Of course not, if it was an old mage organization that had existed since the beginning of the Third Age like the Tower of the Star and Moon or the White Stone Mage Federation, maybe they still had the background to disobey a god, but the Council of the Nine Towers did not dare to do this, they only had nine arcanists at full strength, and they might be tough in the face of those temples with weak divine power, but they couldn't even call their opponents in front of a behemoth like the Temple of Workin, so they could only withdraw the mage squad outside Bordeaux, and on the surface, they were "decent" with gods The way ended the war, but secretly issued a kill order for the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and several national caravans of the secret alliance within the council, which can be regarded as the beginning of a dark war that will not last to the death.

But the above-mentioned turmoil, which can be called a storm that swept over one-fifth of the continent, has nothing to do with the missing Eleven, even if the Council of the Nine Towers ostensibly acknowledges the end of their hatred with the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, but that is only based on the fact that the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce destroyed the workshop area and only damaged the Council, but for the mysterious person who destroyed one of the Nine Towers symbolized for a while, the Council of the Nine Towers insisted that he would see people alive and corpses when he died! Anyone who dares to stop the council's pursuit will be dealt with the craziest blow from the Council of the Nine Towers, no one dares to stop a group of crazy arcanists and archmages, and there is no need to stop them, anyway, the participants in this turmoil have already got what they want, and it is almost equivalent to the life and death of the guy who single-handedly set off this storm is no longer important to them.

But is it really so easy for a madman who dares to blow up the headquarters of the Nine Towers to die and disappear?

No, of course not, if such a madman chooses to hibern, it will definitely not be out of fear, but just to prepare for a crazier performance later.

Not to mention how Wendy is worried in Bordeaux City, let's quietly turn the picture to the now noisy Sam City,

"Ahem"

The sound of heart-rending coughing kept coming from the dark basement, but the sound disappeared strangely when it passed through an unpretentious broken door, it was clear that someone had engraved a miniature soundproof magic circle on this broken door, so who was so bored as to make a soundproof room in this basement?

"Hmm... You're awake! Tsk, that scared me out too!, boy!"

The oily but similar voice sounded in Elivan's ears, and the confused boy tried to roll over from the rattling bed, but the action caused him to suffer from wounds all over his body, and the boy let out a scream, and fell back to the bed again, but he still turned his head and saw the shadow of the talker.

"It's you... Ratle, why haven't you run away? Have you found your conscience?

Hearing Elivan's teasing words, Rattle squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face,

"It's not that you're in trouble, you guy! Do you know that now the entire gray plain is not allowed to enter or leave, and the abyssal giant mouth Grylls personally incarnates into the astral plane to float and monitor every path out of here, let alone me, even a great mage can't leave quietly at all, and I don't want to be hunted down by the four tower masters together!"

Rattle shrugged his shoulders and threw over a small bottle of potion casually, Eliven didn't even look at it and twisted the lid and drank it, he seemed to completely believe in this temporary ally, seeing Eliven's movements, Rattle sighed helplessly, this guy in front of him is too shrewd and too bold, even in Rattle's most arrogant fantasies, there has never been a scene where the Demon Hunter Tower collapsed, although at least half of the credit belongs to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that Rattle followed the agreement and placed all the magic crystals in the storage ring in the weakest place of the defensive circle in the middle of the Demon Hunting Tower before 15:45, the magic crystals that Elivan sprinkled casually would not be enough to destroy the Demon Hunting Tower's magic circle, after all, it was the top magic circle that the Nine Towers Council had strengthened layer by layer for decades, and it was definitely not so easy to destroy.

Thinking of this, Rattle couldn't help but turn his gaze to Eleven, who was already sitting upright, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opening the black notebook he had escaped from his pocket to check something, and he didn't know what was going on, Rattle directly said what he was thinking.

"Hey, boy, is there any better way to get out now? I don't think you want to wait to die, do you?"

When Eliven heard this, he raised his head in some surprise, and he looked at Rattle suspiciously, until the latter moved his neck a little uncomfortably.

"Why should I run? Do you think this is what I call revenge? It's naïve, it's just the beginning!"

Rattle was startled, only to see Elevenn holding the black notebook and holding out his hand to him,

"You should have this thing with soul crystals, right? give me six, well, forget it, give me twelve, and the horns of a three-year-old black goat, the wings of a night bat, and three dead soul flowers, well, and finally the hair of a woman who has been dead for no more than three months, that's all. ”

Elevenn closed the plain black notebook and said to Rattle with a grin,

"If you find all these things before midnight tonight, I'll give you a chance to escape!

Rattle was stunned, and it took him more than a minute before he reacted and pointed his finger at Eleven,

"You, you, do you know what you're doing?

"Of course I know what I'm going to do, and you know what I do, and you know what a learned Magister, and you can tell the truth about such strange material. ”

Rattle calmed down, he thought for a moment, then walked up and down the house restlessly, and finally stamped his foot vigorously, pointed at Elevan and scolded,

"You madman! Okay, I promise you, but you have to make a big noise! Give Lao Tzu a chance to live! Or Lao Tzu will definitely kill you before he dies!"

Elevenn waved his hand indifferently, he hadn't thought about getting out of Sam City alive since Pol died in his arms, and of course, it would have been better if he had escaped alive.
