Chapter 51: I'm Just a Warrior Monk
Night.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the open central street of Wildfire City, and the residents who had long fallen asleep were awakened by the sound, and at most cursed a few words, turned around and wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt, and continued to fall asleep.
It's the eve of Mudon's Day, and it's the least defended time for the entire Wildfire City.
Xu Nan sat in the carriage, silently listening to the sound in the dark, and the lights in front of the carriage occasionally shone on his face, only to see a lot of shadows.
Barnes, who was sitting opposite, was clearly in a good mood, and he even took out a goblet and was savoring a glass of wine.
The smell was familiar, similar to that emanating from Irene.
"Looks like you're not in a good mood."
Barnes looked at Xu Nan meaningfully, and said with a calm smile: "I haven't heard that the city lord has the habit of sleeping on time. ”
This sentence is naked-naked, pointing out that the most powerful person in the Sebalon family spares no effort to spy on Xu Nan, and at this time, he did not shy away from this.
"It's not the way to the theater."
Xu Nan tried to calm himself down: "Where are we going?" ”
"Twin Moon Plaza." Barnes didn't mean to hide it at all, and perhaps by this time, he thought he had everything under control.
Although he was tasting the wine, his eyes were very sober, and there was no hint of intoxication:
"Of course the rehearsal should be at the place where the party is held, right?"
Xu Nan nodded in agreement, and suddenly said:
"What about the City Guard?"
"I remember that Wildfire City has a half-curfew system, why didn't you even see a patrol after running down this circle?"
Barnes shrugged: "Recently, there have been bandits outside the city and on King's Road in Banda Harbor, so I sent them out of the city to suppress the bandits. ”
"Lord Don't worry about the safety of Wildfire City itself, because I have already sent someone else to take over the defense of Wildfire City."
As he spoke, the carriage drove through an open alley, and Xu Nan saw several dark figures inside.
Although there was only one glance, Xu Nan still saw the looks of those people clearly.
They wore the robes of typical academic mages, wore pointed hats, and had serious expressions, but they looked comical in their way that they didn't know how to describe. They were carrying barrels and brushes in their hands, if they were on the earth, Xu Nan would think that they were a group of non-mainstream graffiti teenagers, but in Wildfire City, their identities were already about to be revealed.
"Black Flag Wizard School......" Xu Nan silently read out the name of that organization in his heart.
This result was not unexpected.
He had long known that this wizarding school was in collusion with the guy in the Ghost Mother Forest, and after they disappeared, it was not difficult to infiltrate Wildfire City under the cover of the Sebaron family's forces.
After all, since Barnes eliminated the Blackwater and eliminated dissidents from the family, it was a completely one-handed rhythm in Wildfire City.
Limited to Xu Nan's academic level, he didn't know what ghosts these wizards were drawing, but it must not be a blessing like Happy Muddy.
"A wizarding organization of more than three hundred people, the strength is unknown, but at least they are all second-order and higher......"
"More than 200 Sebaron's own guards, very strong, completely under the command of Barnes......"
"Add to that the people behind the scenes that could come at any time and other factors...... This is a hundred people! ”
Xu Nan secretly complained in his heart.
He blamed himself a little.
In the past few days, he has been dragged by Erin's affairs, and he has been unable to make a decision, and at the same time, he has been diverted, not even considering that the Mudon Festival party may be just a cover.
The other party did this just to numb himself...... Or the sight of other potential opposition forces in the city.
Tonight is when the mastermind behind the scenes really gets to work.
It's just that Xu Nan's most concerned question is - why today? Or rather, why this time?
You know, Theron has been around for a long time.
In these hundreds of years, are the people behind the scenes eating dry food? Or is it weakened to the point where it will take hundreds of years to recover and plot for tonight's events?
Xu Nan couldn't figure it out, after all, the information was insufficient, but he was only stunned and surprised, without any fear.
There is no way, there is a backer behind him, and the confidence is enough.
As long as the thighs are hugged well, you are not afraid of a few waves!
He looked at Barnes as if he was winning, and deep down he felt sad for the minibus.
"Just let me see what kind of demon you are!"
The carriage arrived at Shuangyue Square, and Xu Nan took the initiative to get off.
At first glance, he saw the girl in the middle of the square.
It's still a wonderful long leg.
It's just that this night, she looks extra stunning and beautiful.
It seemed that he felt Xu Nan's amazed gaze.
Erin turned her head slowly and smiled sweetly.
"I thought of the perfect ending."
She blinked, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Behind her, a dozen shadows dressed as stage actors stood like puppets, their eyelids lowered and silent.
Xu Nan silently followed Barnes into the seat, in fact, before he arrived, there were already many people sitting in the audience.
These are some of the most powerful leaders in Wildfire City.
It's just that at this moment, their expressions were all terrified, as if they realized something, but they didn't dare to resist, they could only put their hands together fiercely, as if they were praying for the protection of their ancestors.
"Let's get started."
The one who spoke was not Erin, nor Barnes, but a cloaked wizard.
There were eight thin black flags behind him, which looked like singing Peking Opera at first glance, but Xu Nan knew that this was one of the symbols of the Black Flag Wizard.
"It's really uncreative...... It's like a setting like the eight bags of elders of the beggar gang, the more chess pieces are inserted behind the back, the higher the level......"
"If there is grade inflation in the future, won't it become a hedgehog?"
Xu Nan couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then Shi Shiran sat down.
He's ready to see the show.
In fact, he was quite curious about what the ending that would satisfy Erin was.
After all, on the earth, he has also read a lot, most of which are online articles, most of which are particularly unfinished, and there are few good endings; Among them, a guy called dark blue coconut water is the most hateful...... It can be seen that it is not easy to write an ending that satisfies the author himself.
However, the actors on stage did not move.
Shadows appeared all around, and these shadows came to everyone with glasses of wine.
"What does that mean?"
An iceplain warrior couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Barnes, I only agreed to come and watch Miss Irene's stage play, but I didn't promise to drink your family's Theron wine......"
Barnes smiled lightly:
"The stage play is to be seen."
"Wine, too, must be drunk."
The atmosphere became a little stagnant.
Near the Shuangyue Square, more and more dark shadows appeared.
Although the people of the ice fields are simple-minded, they are not mentally retarded; The strange atmosphere of tonight had long made them suspicious, and in this situation, it was impossible to figure out what had happened.
Everyone knows that there is something wrong with this wine, but because of Barnes's power, it is difficult to really refuse.
Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, the sound of music and the dialogue of the actors suddenly came from the stage.
The revue began.
"Drink it." The Black Flag Wizard said grimly, "All this wine must be drunk......
Before he could finish his words, he saw a man rise and fall, snatch the wine glasses from the hands of the waiters, and begin to pour wine into his mouth frantically!
The speed was outrageously fast, and it didn't even give them room to react!
It wasn't until Xu Nan drank the eleventh cup that he was angrily stopped by the black flag wizard:
"Everybody has to drink!"
"You're drinking too much!"
Xu Nan smiled slightly: "I don't think so, didn't you say that the wine here must be drunk?" ”
"They don't want to drink, let them all to me, do you think they are willing?"
With that, he looked at the others.
The people of the ice field were still in a daze, they looked at Xu Nan and hesitated: "City Lord, you ......"
Xu Nan secretly scolded the fool in his heart.
This kind of trick is simply trivial to Xu Nan, and those disappeared Theron wines are just thrown into his dimensional pocket.
The people of the ice field still thought that something was going to happen and was blocking the knife for them...... This brain circuit is too strange, isn't it?
Do I look like that kind of self-sacrificing person?
Well, in terms of appearance, it seems to be true.
Xu Nan wanted to continue drinking, but was held down by Barnes.
His strength was astonishingly great.
His tone was calm: "Lord City, you have drunk too much. ”
"I suggest you sit down and take a look at Miss Irene's great creations."
"As for the others, Theron is something to drink sooner or later. The reason, I will naturally explain in a moment. ”
"This is the first step towards a great revival for Wildfire City, and we can only do that if we work together, you know?"
The last sentence he said was addressed to the people of the ice field.
His eyes were so fierce that some of the ice plains seemed to give in and tremble towards their glasses.
"Well, look at you! What a disappointment! Let's watch the rehearsal first. ”
Barnes said with a little irritation, "I'm looking forward to the ending of Miss Irene's story. ”
"These wines, when you drink them after watching the stage play, are the same."
The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. The Black Flag wizard seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say it directly, but kept staring at Xu Nan.
Xu Nan completely ignored his gaze, and he stared at another place on the stage to himself.
At the same time, the time is silently estimated.
"I decided that the Mudon Gala was the beginning of the ceremony......
"Due to the nature of the unstable portal, Evelyn and I have made an appointment that tonight will be the time for teleportation......"
"As for the location......
He looked a little pained at a corner of the stage, where a curtain hung that was not obtrusive.
……
Minutes and seconds passed.
It didn't take long for the stage play to reach its climax.
An actress covered her chest, pointed in the direction of the curtain, and wailed hysterically:
"I can feel your presence...... You're right there, tormenting me! ”
"You, the evil being, have been watching us, watching each and every one of us......"
"Who are you?"
In the next second, under the bated gaze of everyone, a bald head came out from behind the curtain.
He touched his head and said with some astonishment:
"I'm just a warrior monk."
Xu Nan instantly covered his face.
