Chapter 60: The City of Dawn
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Alice and the others stayed in the City of Wind and Frost, and Alice went to see Claes, who explained the route of the trip.
Early the next morning, the elves took Fillmos to the outside of the city. In the dark, Nia and Adaman transform into three black dragons and fly north with the elves, and Alice takes Yulia to lead the way on Rebeca's back. In fact, Philmos can also fly, and the members of the Bloodline all have a pair of bat wings, but he is afraid of revealing his identity, so he still obediently sits on the back of the dark with Karin. After about a morning of flying, I found a place to rest, and continued to fly forward, about an afternoon of flight, close to dusk, a majestic Terran city appeared on the ground in front of me, and the Terran castle building was very similar to the city of wind and frost, but it was nearly twice as large. However, it is interesting to note that the city is surrounded by four huge angelic statues, and in the middle there is a shrine to the goddess of the dawn. The five buildings look golden in the strong sunlight, and it is clear that this is the City of Dawn marked on Alice's map.
"Let's go down and get some rest. ”
Yulia suggested.
"Alright, Rebecca landing. ”
Rebecca flew down with three black dragons and slowly landed in the woods 200 meters away from Auroville. The elves jumped off the black dragon outside the city of dawn. (Most cities are no-fly zones, especially for other races.) Alice led the group into the city on foot, and the city of Dawn was more prosperous than the city of wind and frost, and the streets made of white bricks were bustling with Terran traders and civilians. Alice led everyone to gradually approach the city gate, the city guards came up to interrogate according to the custom, Alice and the others showed the graduation certificate of the Kedra Academy of Magic, and were let in by the guards, and Fermos looked completely human, and the guards didn't bother to ask.
The elves appeared in the streets, causing a large crowd of onlookers, who were already surprised, and through the dense crowd, they found an inn called the Song of Light. Alice felt that her cultivation of her magic power in her spare time in the past few days seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough, so she sat alone in her room and practiced magic. Yulia and Kana went shopping again, while Shadow stayed by Alice's side, trying to practice the Jade Fat Fairy Skin Technique. Just when everything was going well, there was a small episode.
"Fillos, come out with me. ”
Carlin said with his hand on Fermos's shoulder.
"What's the matter?"
Fillmos pretended not to care, followed Carlin to the corner outside the inn and said.
"You like Alice too, don't you?"
Carlin asked.
"Yes, I like her very much, she not only looks like Christina, but she is kind and beautiful, and I decided to pursue her in my own way. ”
Fillmore replied calmly.
"You've only known her for a few days? and you've been with her since we were kids, and I've been Alice too, and she's mine. ”
Carlin blushed and said excitedly.
"Oh, yes, coward, why don't you say it if you like her so much? Besides, what does it matter to you that I show her love? It's not up to you whether she likes me or not. ”
Fillmos said when he heard Carlin's words and pointed to his nose.
"It's useless to talk too much, dare you fight with me. If you lose, leave immediately. ”
Carlin pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Fillmos.
"Hehe, boy, do you really think I'm a weak Terran?"
Fermos's nails stretched out, glowing with cold light, and seemed to turn into ten sharp knives. His thin body became taller, a head taller than before, his face was pale, his yellow hair had also turned blood red, he was wearing a bright red ornate robe, and a bright red cloak was draped behind it, and Fillmos's body revealed a strange aura. Carlin saw the change in Fillmos, and he himself became cautious, the long sword in his hand glowed faintly white, and he took out a round shield to block his chest, ready to attack.
"Whoosh. ”
Carlin only heard a gust of wind, and Philmos suddenly appeared in front of Carlin with great speed, waving his shining claws and grabbing Karlin, who hurriedly raised his shield to meet him.
"Ugh. ”
There was a screeching sound of metal cutting, and Fillmoth's claws cut four deep marks in Carlin's shield. Seeing that Fillmos had no success in his right hand and his left hand was coming with the sound of whirring wind, Carlin hurriedly dodged Fillus's attack, but a shallow blood mark was accidentally scratched on his arm. Carlin slashed with a white sword, Fillmos stepped back quickly, and Carlin slashed through the air with a single sword. Fillmos said as he stretched out his left hand and licked the blood from his fingernails with his tongue.
"The blood of the elves is delicious. ”
Carlin also saw Fillmos's identity.
"Hmph, you damn demon wants to touch Alice with your dirty hands? ”
Carlin swung his sword and slashed at Fillmos.
"No, no, no, you're wrong, my love for Alice is genuine. Not what you think. Moreover, our blood clan has broken away from the demon domain and set up our own portal, and we are no longer demons. ”
Fillmos dodged Karin's attack in an instant, shaking his palm and saying.
"Hmph, who believes your nonsense? Demons are demons, and none of them are good. ”
Carlin swung his sword again and slashed at Fillmos.
"For the sake of your face as Alice's friend, I didn't want to do anything with you. Since you don't know whether to live or die, then I'll punish you a little. ”
Fermos instantly appeared behind Carlin with his claws, swinging them hard at his back.
"Ugh. ”
There was another screeching sound, and four deep marks appeared on the back of Carlin's breastplate, and orange blood flowed out of the cracks in the armor. Carlin was caught by Fillmos and almost fell to the ground, Carlin saw that the armor could not prevent Fillus's attack, so he decisively took off the armor, and pressed the red combat boots with both hands, and the speed instantly increased, and Fillmores's left hand attacked.
"Ding. ”
As soon as Carlin turned around and collided with him with the long sword in both hands, Fermos was surprised that Carlin, who was very clumsy just now, actually became flexible in an instant. With a fierce heart, he raised his right hand and swung it at Carlin again.
"Ding. ”
Carlin crossed his sword and skillfully blocked Fermos's attack again, Fermos had a headache, he had just said a big thing, but now he couldn't get the upper hand. Just as the two of them were fighting, Alice heard the fight in the inn and hurried over, appeared in front of them, and said.
"Stop. ”
Both Carlin and Fermos stopped hearing Alice's voice and looked at Alice together.
"What are you two doing, going behind our backs?"
Alice lashed out at Carlin and Fermos with her hands on her hips.
"I, we. ”
Carlin stumbled to speak.
"Shut up. ”
Alice pointed at Carlin and said, and Carlin obediently shut up.
"And you, who are you? How much else do you have to hide from us? Since we treat you as friends, you can tell us. ”
Alice said, pointing at Fillmoth.
"Well, I'll confess. ”
Fillmos lowered his head and said, Here's the thing. Filles tells Alice the whole story, as well as a sad story about his former wife, Christina.
