The city of Camor, the Empire's elemental industrial city, is located in the middle of the Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you can't stand the crowded black factories and lead-gray skies in the city, you happen to have noble blood in your veins or a generous noble friend. Then, a cluster of manors on the west side of Camor City would be a good place to visit and give you a new understanding of Carmore. The estate, on a gentle slope or hidden in a hollow, blends perfectly with the forest that stretches for thousands of miles. In the summer, the manor is like a bird in the forest, and you can only hear the song of the manor, but you can't see where it is. In winter, when the green leaves reced, they resemble reefs after the tide recedes, especially when night falls, and when you look down from the sky, you will think that there is another starry sky on the ground.

The labyrinthine manor group can only distinguish the boundaries of the land by those who have lived here for more than ten years. In some places, large plots of land are scattered with several estates, while in others it resembles a small town. And one of the Copperfield family's properties, next to this small city, is not a small but exquisite estate.

With the development of communication technology, more and more aristocrats choose to move their offices to this small city with a better environment. As a result, the security here is probably the best place in all of Carmore, and the biggest security accident here is when a drunk accidentally falls off his head. At the same time, this is also one of the safest places, there is the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and the "Elemental Magic Mobile Brigade", even if a legion of god believers suddenly attack, this small city can hold out for a month, and it is possible to destroy all the enemies who come alone.

Any dirty intrigues and tricks are gone here, and many forces default to this "peace zone", and anyone who dares to break this invisible rule will be solved together, after all, people always need a place to relax.

Therefore, Arcarnes, who is playing Gwen with his friend Elena, does not plan to make big news. This little gamble, the bet is to drink more wine, and now the two women are facing the fact that they are always beaten to the bottom, and they have become a pair of opponents to find confidence in this lively banquet.

"The fifth round, the last round. At one end of the round table, the dealer in a velvet shirt asked, "Do the two ladies want to change cards?"

"The two ladies need to discuss. After Elena finished speaking, she leaned to the left, put her lips to the ear of the white-haired girl, and whispered, "Aina, how are your cards?"

The hot breath from her mouth mixed with a faint smell of wine rushed into the ears of the white-haired girl.

"A wasteland that makes you lose your appetite when you see it. Arcanis muttered as he covered his mouth with his left hand, seemingly casually, "How's your card?"

"A grove of fruit trees. ”

"Let's swap cards. Arcanis suggested, "Otherwise, this one will lose." ”

"We lost too much tonight. ”

"Not really, but luck always takes our way. ”

The dealer coughed solemnly, and the two ladies consciously distanced themselves and gently rested the cards on the lacquered surface of the table, and Arcanis pulled out a "It's over, it's going to be over" expression from the expression library and put it on his face. She glanced at the sizable pile of wooden chips on the table, which were soon going to travel a short distance and move into the hands of their opponents, turning into the amount they were asking them to drink. As long as she cheats and doesn't get caught.

"We're going to change cards. ”

Elena said that after getting the go-to, they put the two face-down Gwent cards into the deck and took the Gwent cards from the top. Arcanis, who didn't notice when she switched cards, mixed a few trash cards from her cuffs into them, and when she shuffled them, she cleverly moved them to the top.

The two women drew cards separately, Elena's face was extremely ugly, the blue wolf was expressionless, and a set of bad cards in her hand made the spectators behind her amazed. The blue wolf sighed pretendedly, and then said in a strong and sacrificial tone: "We are ready to face the bleak fate with courage. ”

Ten minutes later, the sum of the cards played by the two women was undoubtedly three grades lower than that of the opposite side. The two gentlemen opposite, God knows which petty nobleman they were, had long known that Elena was not interested in blind dates, so they did not intend to show a gentlemanly demeanor of being considerate of the lady.

A pile of wooden chips was replaced by three bottles of wine, which were placed in front of the two women. The Copperfield family offers a liquor that is mixed with sweet fats and juices, and it tastes quite delicious.

"I'll do it. ”

Arcanis volunteered to take three finger-high bottles of wine, and reluctantly handed one over to Elena at protest. After drinking it all, she looked drunk.

"I need to go and rest, go to the toilet and throw up. ”

The blue wolf, who was supported by Elena, said,

The blue-eyed friend, while helping her go, kept nagging her to pay attention, and she had to protect herself when she was drunk.

Finally arriving at the women's bathroom, Arcanis opened the door and opened his mouth to the white but strong smell of alcohol, making a loud vomiting sound.

"A, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's a lot better. I want to go and lie down for a while. ”

Arcanis stared at her conscious self in the mirror, just as she hadn't thought that the biggest difficulty after entering the city would be work. After the banquet, Elena was like a hen guarding her chicks, always by her side, and she finally deceived Elena with wine, making her think that she was drunk and that she had enough reason to act alone.

After leaving the house, she was helped by Elena to the lounge, where the sofa was full of gossiping people. For many first-time women, it was unthinkable to be able to play with the aristocracy, so most were cautious or desperately trying to curry favor with any richly dressed man.

Elena asks someone she knows, and she looks at A-Na who is lying on the sofa, and she needs to taste a new snack.

Three minutes later, the blue wolf watched her talk to a man and snuck away, into a quiet spot in the back garden. The temperature here is warm, the trees and shrubs have not faded green, the green grass is paved with black stone slabs, and men and women walk in pairs, setting off in all silent directions.

Arcanis, with his sharp ears, caught the distant moaning in the air. She shook her head, wondering how many illegitimate children were born after October to provide fodder for novelists. Of course, it was more of a cry of pain, and it was mostly a clumsy girl who pricked her finger with a needle and used too much force. In the Zofia Empire, there was a romantic practice of exchanging blood. Its practical use here is to give the man an important reference, and the reference standard comes from the "Bloodline".

She took off her gown, quickly changed into a brown linen shirt, fastened her breasts with strips of cloth, covered her face with a gray cloth, and wore a magic crossbow on the belt around her waist, and put on Sby's sheep's head ring. Ten minutes later, unbeknownst to anyone, a woman had sneaked over the fence without a single cry from the alarm magic.

The Copperfield Mansion, just a wall away from the sea of joy, is surprisingly quiet. The mansion is roughly rectangular in shape, four storeys high, and supported by columns at the bottom. Centuries old, it has fallen into decay under the weight of time, and it is surrounded by lush gardens, surrounded on all sides by twelve-foot-high stone walls, and a faint amber glow through the closed windows on the third floor.

Arcanis falls in the damp and fragrant garden at night, listening intently and motionlessly, without danger.

She hid in the shadows and checked that the doors and windows on the first floor had been locked, and she didn't want to use her half-baked lockpicking skills to challenge the legendary anti-theft mechanism. Fortunately, the Copperfield family is not a nobleman of high status who must always worry about assassination. As a result, they have an unrealistic illusion of height.

Arcanis inserted his hands and feet firmly into the gaps in the smooth and cold wall tiles, and cautiously climbed to the roof, the first floor, the second floor was dark, and the third floor was lit by the room on the north side, and the blue wolf cautiously climbed all the way up, over the low wall of the roof. It was her first time diving, and her heart was pounding with excitement. She couldn't help but look at the ocean of joy on the side, and listened attentively, but fortunately, there was no anxious cry of Elena in the noisy voices.

The twin moons loom behind the gauzy gray clouds. To her left, the city of Carmore was like a giant hidden behind the darkness, six unfathomable towers reaching into the sky, like a few dark shadows in front of the sky. The faint light from the nearby alchemy ball did not reduce the sinister atmosphere of the tower, and standing on the ground and staring at the tower, Arcanis felt that the alcohol in his body began to work.

She shook her head, the roof was a deserted place, dusty, and she opened a small door with wire, and walked past the fourth floor to the narrow stone staircase that led to the third-story side porch.

The sound of steady footsteps echoed in the corridors, and there seemed to be some strange low sobs in the darkness, which disappeared without a trace when you listened closely. Knowing nothing of the mansion, Arcanis prayed for luck in her heart, leaning down and peering around the corner on her left.

As a result, I saw a corridor separating the three floors, and an old man happened to leave the study, did not close the door, and walked straight into the bedroom opposite. He slammed the door shut, the clatter of metal locks echoing through the hallway.

The blue wolf took advantage of being invisible in the shadows and moved forward cautiously.

It's just sneaking into an office, and it's not heavy or anything, why is it so nervous?

When she managed to enter the brightly lit study, she thought to herself.

The alchemy ball in the study was surprisingly bright, and even the alchemy ball hung under the table and chair, without a single shadow, so Arcanis appeared. This really made her feel a little panicked in her heart. She walked over to her desk, which was a tall glass-doored bookcase filled with books and... Some weird gadgets.

A fine parchment made of lambskin of a full moon, a statue carefully carved from an oak branch chopped by lightning, a silk sachet, a green moon gem. Of course it was all strange, and it was strange that the fine parchment, with a dull luster, was half blackened, like rotten flesh, with a few holes in it.

Why would a nobleman collect corrupt parchment? And parchment would be corrupt?

Even stranger, Arcanis thought, was the statue, carved with a goddess! This goddess didn't look very good, because her upper body was dark and had a few wormholes. The strangest of all is the egg-sized green moon gemstone, which is half a brilliant green and the other half a dull color, and is very strange..... It was as if it had been eroded by some dark force, and it looked soft.

To be precise, they don't rot, but they show a rotten appearance, and the white-haired girl, driven by curiosity, wants to open the bookcase, but is suddenly attracted by the photo on the desk.

She made sure she wasn't under the influence of alcohol, because there were six young people, four men and two women.

One of them was Professor Andrew, and the other was Professor Derek! They were dressed as adventurers, some in armor, some in leather armor, and the young Professor Andrew was wearing a robe, and his handsome face was full of youthful vitality. The young Professor Derek in fine leather armor on the side had a smile on his face, completely unanimous and cynical.

Only one woman, unarmed, wearing a sunhat, with long blonde hair and purple eyes, smiled brightly at the camera. Arcanis' eyes narrowed, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The other woman was a samurai, dressed in full-body armor, with piercing eyes and a healthy wheat complexion, standing in front of them with a sword in both hands and a slightly raised chin, apparently a proud female swordsman.

Arcanis vaguely felt that he had reached a turning point in his fate. Before she could recover from her surprise, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. She was startled, her body made a move before her brain, and the blue wolf climbed lightly onto the tall bookcase, but she was thin enough, light enough to get into the narrow space, her back was against the ceiling, and the most uncomfortable thing was her breasts, and she finally turned around to see which guy it was.

The alchemy ball hanging from the ceiling, swaying slightly in front of her, she looked down and saw an unexpected person - a masked thief.

She was slender and clearly a woman.

Arcanis held her breath, and she had a vague feeling that it wasn't as easy as she thought.

The masked thief flipped through the desk, carefully unraveling an ingenious alarm mechanism, and quickly flipped through the layers of papers on the desk.

The blue wolf sighed in her heart, it should not conflict with her goals, she just needs to stay here honestly.

As soon as she thought about it, she saw the masked thief pull out a document, and at the head of the document there were ten big red characters "List of Suspicious Refugees Who Have Recently Entered the City", like a needle prick, piercing her eyes. Below is a dense line of words, with occupation, gender, Arcanis was shocked, with her toes to know, there must be her name on it.

Gray-haired, elemental factory workers, it's strange that they weren't added to the list by the bureaucracy.

She was extremely anxious for a moment, and Arcanis knew that this city was not so casual to enter, and now the only remedy was to get rid of her name from the list.

The masked thief looked at it and was about to put the list in his arms.

Damn! How can there be such a thief? Steal the list directly? Isn't it just telling the master, hey! Your documents have been stolen?

The anxious blue wolf, calling out the scimitar, prepared to attack.....
