It took a long time for the airship to sail to the Land of Aurora before slowly leaving Stephen Sand's harbor.

This is probably due to the large number of invited spellcasters, and even if they line up in an orderly manner, the speed seems to be very slow; Xu Nan observed that the decks of the three floating boats, including the Red Sun he was riding, were full of people.

This kind of scene was common in Xu Nan's previous living environment, but considering that everyone was an elite-level spellcaster, even a mage holy place like Stephen Sand, I am afraid that it would be difficult to do this except for a grand ceremony of the level of Aurora Tide.

Perhaps because many magical organizations had predicted the intensity of the cosmic vision in advance, Stephen Sand was under pressure from many quarters and had to send out more than three times the number of invitations in previous years. Most of them are Stephen Sand's resident wizards, and there are also cooperative organizations like Paradise Lost that have close ties to Stephen Sand.

Regardless, the intensity of this year's Aurora Tide is undeniable, but the competition is also extremely fierce.

From Stephen Sand, it takes about four to five hours to get to the Land of Aurora, and the main source of error is wind and some other factors, Stephen Sand's float is basically purely mechanical, except for a few anti-gravity components, so as to avoid the impact of anomalous factors on the edge of the world to the greatest extent.

From here, further north, you are really close to the edge of the world.

This is also an important reason why Akai said that Stephen Sand is the barrier that guards the north of the main material realm, and north of Stephen Sand, there is basically no natural civilization - some are just exiled races.

Xu Nan stood on the deck and looked out, and the aurora appeared in the sky, at first he felt fresh, like most wizards, and he was reluctant to see this beautiful scenery that could only be seen at the edge of the world; But it didn't take long to get used to it, people are like this, no matter how beautiful things are, after a long time, they often feel like that.

"If these three floating boats are shipwrecked and sunk, and below is a forbidden place like the Sea of Damned, where there is no return, I wonder if the major magical organizations in the main material world will directly enter a period of decline......"

Xu Nan squeezed out of the crowded edge of the deck while complaining silently in his heart.

His joke is not just a complaint, if it really happens, I am afraid that the severity will only be higher.

After all, it carries almost all the young elite spellcasters in the entire world.

Of course, Xu Nan can think of this, and Stephen and Sand's enemies can naturally also think that in the shadows of this grand ceremony, an invisible war has begun - where ordinary people are not aware of it, there is often a shuddering fear and blood, just like he accidentally took a den of the Soul Stealer Legion some time ago and indirectly saved Stephen and Sand once.

The reason why this world is so beautiful is precisely because she is saved by all kinds of people in various ways every day; And those who live in the world are good enough to be saved.

……

Xu Nan crossed the deck and arrived at the VIP room on the third floor, where Jiang Yuanchi had been waiting for a long time.

As one of the Six Apostles, she had the right of first apostle boarding and naturally had the right to enjoy her own separate cabin on the crowded floatboat.

After briefly explaining to the wizard in charge of the guard, Jiang Yuanchi led Xu Nan into the cabin to rest.

There were not many people in the VIP room, and along the way, Xu Nan noticed that the wizards here seemed to have a lot of respect for Senior Sister Jiang.

I'm afraid it's not just because of the Six Apostles.

Xu Nan recalled the attitude of other people towards Akai and Emma, and he didn't seem to have the kind of awe and fear of Jiang Yuanchi, he pondered for a while the eyes of the wizard brother who had just walked over and took the initiative to greet Senior Sister Jiang, and secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that Senior Sister Jiang's prestige of the Thunderbolt King is also first-class in Stephen Sand?

Otherwise, these mages with similar strength to her don't need to respect her so much, right?

Or maybe she saved Stephen Sand?

Xu Nan suddenly realized that he still didn't know anything about the details of Senior Sister Jiang's stay in Stephensand for a whole year the year before the official invasion of the world.

He only got some information from Roger's mouth: Jiang Yuanchi was said to have been accepted as a disciple by An Suli, even if her strength was not enough to be qualified as one of the six apostles, she was also entered into the list of one of the six apostles in advance, and she was on an equal footing with the other five powerful people with outstanding qualifications.

That's an incredible thing in itself.

You must know that although Stephen Sand is not a place that attaches great importance to seniority, seniority is definitely a very important influencing factor; A person like Xu Nan who has made great contributions has only been secretly awarded an honorary citizen medal by the law enforcement team and the official.

"What kind of contribution has Senior Sister Jiang made?"

Xu Nan suddenly gossiped in the depths of his heart.

However, what happened in Stephen Sand in the past year seems to be the content that Jiang Yuanchi is most reluctant to mention, and Xu Nan is not easy to bring up directly, so he can only sit here and talk dryly about some things.

The main thing is that he is talking, and Jiang Yuan is listening.

They ordered two cups of milk tea, but unfortunately it didn't have the same flavor as the few restaurants on the street near the school, and they didn't know what the wizards of Stephen Sand had added, and there was a smell of inferior coffee.

“…… That's about it. ”

"I didn't expect that a random person would be a soulstealer."

Xu Nan took a sip of milk tea and couldn't help but complain.

He really didn't expect this thing, he only thought that Thomas had a small problem at the time, but he didn't expect it to be such a big problem; What I didn't expect was that the melon that came out of the Soul Stealing Monster was actually related to the alchemy of the gods!

It's just that this part, he promised Akai that he wouldn't tell anyone.

The matter of the soul stealing monster is nothing that Jiang Yuanchi wants to know about, but the matter of Helena and the little sun god is much more complicated; Xu Nan told Jiang Yuan that it didn't matter, but he was afraid of extraneous branches.

"A soulstealer? And this kind of thing? ”

Jiang Yuanchi showed a look of surprise, and then she pulled her hair and muttered:

"Did it really happen?"

"Huh?" Xu Nan was a little confused.

Jiang Yuanchi pursed her lips, her expression was a little uncalm, and she sighed: "I mean, I didn't expect a similar subversive crisis to appear." Fish belly junior, you have definitely made a great contribution this time! ”

"I'm sure you'll be rewarded with more than just a medal, it's just that that guy Akai doesn't understand the doorway."

Xu Nan didn't really care so much about the reward or anything, he was more interested in the mystery in Jiang Yuanchi's words.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

Jiang Yuanchi did not hesitate this time, and said very happily:

"It's what happened a lot."

"In the last year, Stephen Sand has had a lot of subversive crises - a crisis of this level can destroy the entire city, so it is called subversive."

"I haven't experienced this firsthand, but the Soulstealer is a terrifying species that is definitely one of the most terrifying opponents."

Speaking of this, she suddenly threw a trick in her hand, conjured a grass-green straw for herself, inserted it into the milk tea cup, and began to suck from time to time, while continuing in a slurred voice:

"Aren't you all curious about what I did at Stephensand that year?"

Xu Nan immediately pricked up his ears.

Jiang Yuanchi bit the straw and said in a particularly indifferent tone:

"I'm saving the world at Stephen Sand."

Xu Nan was stunned, he didn't expect that the plot he guessed casually might be true.

Although Jiang Yuanchi seems to be joking, after all, [Fragile Stephen Sand] is a much-talked about old stalk in this floating city opera house.

This old stalk comes from Stephen Sand's opera content that has remained unchanged for many years, basically Stephen Sand's script in crisis, and the young wizard is ordered to turn the tide and then not only save the world, but even get a good result.

The audience is tired of watching too much, and will always complain about why Stephen Sand is always in dire straits.

But as far as Xu Nan knows, this old stalk actually has another meaning.

The city looked powerful, but it was also made fragile because of it—he vaguely remembered Romans' assessment, and Ansoli seemed to be present at the time, and as Stephen Sand's owner, she had no objection.

However, he was still a little uncertain about Jiang Yuanchi's words.

"A year?" He asked.

"That's right, a whole year." She suddenly bit the straw very seriously, and Xu Nan noticed that the milk tea in her cup had been almost drained by her: "That's why they respect me so much, Ms. An Suli will grant me the title of the Six Apostles, and I can obtain the title of [Daughter of Floating City]...... Of course, there are many other conveniences. ”

Xu Nan was a little envious: "To be reasonable, I also saved Stephen Sand...... Half a time, right? ”

Jiang Yuanchi continued to toss the straw: "Really? But I ......"

"Probably saved a hundred and eighty times, right?"

"I can't remember the exact number, I was so tired that year, I came and went in the rain every day, either there was a problem here or there, but no one else in Stephen Sand could do this kind of task except me!"

She couldn't help but complain: "I'm so tired, when I first became a savior, I had a sense of accomplishment; But later, all that was left was a sense of responsibility, and I was so tired......"

Xu Nan looked at her suspiciously.

He still believes that he saved Stephen Sand once or twice, after all, Stephen Sand is so fragile, he Xu Nan can easily save it once and a half, but it is too nonsense to say one hundred and eighty times, right? There are so many wizards in this floating city, what happened to make an earthling need to save it?

"Huh? Earthling? Xu Nan suddenly realized something.

Perhaps, this identity is the key, after all, Jiang Yuanchi mistakenly entered Stephen Sand, and at that time, she was probably the only one on earth in the entire Stephen Sand, if there is something that Stephen Sand's locals can't do, or even wizards can't do, then entrusting Jiang Yuanchi to do it can be explained.

"What is the main job you do?"

Xu Nan was a little skeptical.

Jiang Yuanchi thought for a while: "There is too much content, and it is inconvenient for me to say it." ”

"Let's pick one of them, one of the tasks is related to bright light, and I have to do it, and I can't wear protective equipment...... After it was over, my eyes were short-sighted. ”

"You know, before I entered Stephen Sand, I didn't have such a serious myopia......"

Xu Nan touched his nose: "How many degrees is there?" ”

Jiang Yuan bit the straw uncertainly:

"More than 700 degrees, right?"

"Seven hundred and five."

Xu Nan's face darkened: "Just add fifty degrees?" I think you're deliberately telling me some nonsense, right? ”

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised: "You can see it?" ”

"But I'm not lying to you."

"I'm just lying to you about milk tea."

With that, she took another puff.

Her own cup of milk tea had obviously been drained by her early, but miraculously, Xu Nan found that there was indeed liquid gushing through her straw.

He looked down at his cup, and a large cup of milk tea was empty.

Looking at Jiang Yuanchi's face with a slightly evil smile, Xu Nan fell into deep thought-

Was this really just a joke, or was she taking the opportunity to confide in herself part of the truth?

After thinking for a while, Xu Nan came to a serious conclusion:

She is indeed just lying to her own milk tea.

Sure enough, there is also a negative impact after the second order of true insight, that is, I become more and more suspicious.

Jiang Yuanchi snorted and changed the topic to talk about something else.

Xu Nan was a little disappointed, he was actually quite interested in Jiang Yuanchi's past, after all, with the qualifications she showed, she was second only to Lu Honghong among the people Xu Nan knew.

It's a pity that Senior Sister Jiang has a very clear grasp of the distance between people, she has a good attitude towards Xu Nan, and she is basically responsive, but she often avoids talking about many topics related to her secrets, but this is easy to provoke reverie.

I don't know if she did it on purpose.

……

The two chatted in the cabin for a while, and then rested for another hour or so.

Outside the cabin, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and from time to time a slightly noisy sound came from outside.

"Mr. Barbossa!"

"Any indication for this Aurora Tide?"

"Do you have any tips to share with us? After all, you finished second last time! ”

Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi also opened the hatch with some curiosity and looked outside.

There was a large crowd of people in the corridor that was not too open.

These people were all elite wizards from Stephen Sand's native production, the oldest of them was about twenty years old, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old. Excitement was written on their faces.

And in the center of them was the legendary wizard Barbossa, who had spoken at noon before the celebration began.

He still looked a little shy, and seemed a little helpless in the face of everyone's flood of questions.

Fortunately, someone next to him kindly relieved him, and he barely got a breathing room.

Facing the enthusiastic wizards, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then smiled:

"Just keep your mind on the ground."

Fans are clearly not satisfied.

He thought about it again and added:

"Treat the Mana Beasts with the same way you treat me."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and laughed.
