The city of Andulon

[It's almost time to get to the place.] 】

Edward didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he was woken up by the negative body, he lazily stretched his arms and legs, and after reaching out, he found that his arm had touched a person, so he quickly sat up.

"I'm sorry, I just woke up and didn't notice anyone around. ”

Edward apologized to the woman sitting next to him, only to realize that he had not only touched the other party, but also slept on the other person's lap when he slept.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Edward felt a little strange, the seat here was not high or wide. If the head is resting on the other person's thigh, then because of the other person's body, he must be leaning on the pillow there, unless he is holding his head with his hands, or standing on tiptoe to keep himself close to the other person's abdomen, Edward does not understand how he managed to pill his head at an inclined angle without falling.

"Don't mind, I saw that you were about to fall off when you slept soundly, so I asked Veronica to help you. Bartola said kindly when he saw that the boy about his size apologized.

Edward also thought that the young man sitting across from him was a passerby, and realized the problem after hearing the other party's words.

The people who can get on the car are all mages, and the thin air in the air is enough to keep a lot of people out, and it is difficult for a mage to take the initiative to put another stranger on his lap and let the other person sleep on his lap, this kind of thing can hardly happen in a normal relationship.

The woman in front of me should be a doll......

"Oh, but thank you again. Edward thanked the doll and stood up, "I'm getting to the place, goodbye." ”

Edward ignored the young man who should be two or three years older than himself, and didn't want to get involved in the other party's human affairs, today's incident was also deliberately done by the other party, and it didn't hurt to stay away from this kind of person.

"Are you also going to the city of Andulon? I'm Bartola, and this time I'm going to study in the city of Andulon, what about you?" Bartola saw that the other party was really going to the city of Andulon, so he politely said.

"I'm okay to wander around, you're free. ”

Edward said something and walked out, confirming his judgment when he saw the large number of empty seats in the carriage.

Seeing that Edward didn't like to talk, Bartola didn't continue to entangle with Edward, and when he couldn't figure out the specific situation of the other party, Bartora didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"Veronica, do you know what the other party's attributes are?"

Bartola asked about his puppet after Edward walked away, Edward was pillowed on the base of the puppet's thigh just now, and Veronica's hand also touched the opponent's head, in this case, he could naturally feel the old magic fluctuations emanating from the other party's body.

The one who really wants to apologize is Bartola, doing this kind of thing while a mage is asleep, if it is someone else, he will wake up and directly mark this master and servant as an enemy, and it is normal to fight directly.

"Thunder and darkness, and both the thunder and dark elements are quite active. ”

Veronica is a doll with flesh and skin touch, and her vitality is more tenacious than that of normal humans, and she basically has the functions that normal people have, and when Edward breathes, the dark elements that are sprayed and absorbed from his nose, as well as the thunder elements that are naturally emitted because of his forehead close to each other, are very clearly felt.

Edward did not need to breathe to survive, his breathing was a natural meditation, a function left over from the body's transformation, and could be performed in a way that was less efficient than normal meditation.

Thunder and darkness are both very special energies, and in the Cloud Continent, these two are even more prone to lightning splitting.

Bartola didn't care if he just understood it, and he didn't look like a powerful guy when the other party looked like a powerful guy, and when the train was about to arrive, he got up and walked to the door.

When the door opened, Edward walked down, and the black cat girl she met when she got into the car was still sitting in her seat looking at the clouds outside the window, and it seemed that she was not going here.

Edward stepped out of the car door and headed for the lower entrance ahead.

This is the top above the city of Andulon, the city of Andulon has a total of three floors, the first floor is the basic plate of the kingdom of Andulon, the second floor is even the city of Andulon in the true sense, where a large number of high-level mages and special people live, and the third floor is divided into many pieces, with stations and other special buildings.

Edward stood on the floating ladder and chose to go to the first floor.

The Imperial College was also on the second floor, and Edward was not in a hurry to go over, wanting to go to the first floor for a meal.

People in this world like to eat greasy meat, but Edward likes lighter food, and has always liked to drink dairy drinks.

The first floor of the city of Andulon still belongs to the city in the sky, and unlike those human kingdoms on the earth, the people here are accustomed to seeing mages, and they do not show any difference in Edward's arrival.

The island was so large that Edward couldn't see the edge, and it was hard to think of it as an island floating in the sky.

Just like those in the Continent of Light couldn't imagine that this huge area of the Continent of Clouds was above the sky.

Edward walked out of the teleportation area, which was located in a plaza with armored soldiers patrolling and standing guard nearby, and the road surface was very flat.

After leaving the square, Edward saw the surrounding buildings and the noisy crowd, there were swordsmen in adventure suits, spellcasters in mage robes, but more often merchants and nobles in decent clothes, this was the core area after all, and it was not for the poor to enter at will.

In front of Edward there was a row of buildings, which were all kinds of shops, such as weapons shops and armor stores, general stores, pet stores, etc., mainly for those who came down from above.

Unlike the spire-like roofs of Raven City, the roofs here are all triangular roofs, with chimneys on one side, and the color of the houses is uniformly white, while the color of the roofs varies, the main one is red.

At the door of the shop or on the door plaque, there are words and patterns to indicate what is inside.

As he descended, Edward saw the general layout of the neighborhood in mid-air, with many alleys between the rows of houses for people to pass through, and after crossing a river, he could reach another area, which was also an area where stalls and transactions were allowed.

If you want to eat something special, you have to go to the merchant street, and Edward walked in one direction.

After crossing the two streets, Edward noticed that there were more people dressed in ordinary clothes, but there were still many well-dressed people passing by.

Edward saw an alley ahead of him, and walked into it as he passed, passing through it to get to the high street faster.

The man's gasping stopped abruptly, and Edward looked at the men and women fighting in the alley, very helpless.

This city is full of people, and it is impossible for Edward to use the spell to detect people to find his way, and he didn't expect such a normal thing to happen here.

A long-haired young woman in high-heeled boots bent over the wall in front of her, her two long legs set off by high-heeled boots parted in a figure-of-eight, her hair hanging downward, and behind this woman was a middle-aged man looking nervously at Edward.

The middle-aged man wore ordinary clothes, and the young woman was not a big person, just the most ordinary warbler in the city, and in layman's terms, she was a prostitute.

If you find a sexually dressed woman standing still in the alley, it is the staff, usually these people take the initiative to stand at the mouth of the alley to attract customers, and then go to the alley to complete the transaction.

This is not a drama of forcibly seizing a people's daughter, nor is it a classic plot of an alley that needs heroes to save beauty, this is a business that you and I are willing to buy, and it is also what most women in this world will do, just to make ends meet.

This is a normal thing in this world, there is nothing to be ashamed of, human women who would rather starve to death and live a poor life for the sake of chastity can only be said to be very few in this world, after all, there is no Lao Zhu who advocates chastity for women in this world, but there are many goddesses of joy who advocate timely enjoyment of joy.

Edward was very helpless, it was indeed not the right time for him to appear, the middle-aged man must have been frightened, after all, the lightning sign on his forehead was always there, and the clothes on his body were also very good travel clothes.

". Edward saw that the other party was still not leaving, so he let them leave, and he was fine, and he also created a flame in his hand to prove that he was not easy to mess with.

At this time, if you retreat, it always feels a little inappropriate, and Edward can't let the other party continue to do that kind of thing in front of his eyes, so he can only break up the other party.

The middle-aged man quickly lifted his pants, and then quickly ran out to the other side, although he didn't do anything bad, but the mages didn't need a reason to teach him a lesson.

The walls on both sides were not low, so the alley was a little cool, and Edward looked at the woman with a somewhat calm look in her eyes, and felt that this was a person with a story.

But this has nothing to do with himself, judging from the negative energy on the other party, the other party can't live long, the will to survive and his own intuition are numb, and he is the kind of person who has no concern.

"I'm sorry for delaying your business, that man shouldn't have given you money, right?" Edward saw that the woman was still polished, and thought that the man should not have paid for prostitution, "Can you please put on your clothes now?"

The woman nodded, picked up the skirt on the ground and tied it around her waist.

This is a very unique way to wear, this kind of clothing is difficult to see from the outside how different it is from a normal skirt, but it is perfect for quick unraveling, and it is much simpler.

Edward took out a wind coin from the money pouch around his waist, walked over and held the other person's hand, and placed the wind coin on it, "Here you go, if someone wants to rob you of your money and question you about the origin of this money, tell him that it was given to you by Master Karl, and I will stay in the Imperial Academy for a while, and within a month, you will spend the money." ”

After finishing speaking, Edward walked by the other party's side, this month is neither long nor short, if the other party continues to be like this, it is enough to spend until the other party dies, you don't have to sell it for food and lodging, and wait quietly in the room to die.

If the other party sees hope because of this money, then the other party can continue to live.

Edward walked in the sunlight and continued to walk forward.

[She's dead.] 】

Edward paused, hesitated, and then turned back into the alley.

The woman was indeed dead, committing suicide with the weapon that the adventurer had dropped.

Edward looked around and the woman's palm, but didn't notice the Wind Coin just now.

[In the mouth.] 】

"I don't understand, why did you die? Edward didn't understand why the other party died, and questioned the negative body, "The damned don't die, why don't you die?!"

[In the past, I couldn't see hope, and I lived numbly. I just felt the warmth, there was a contrast, and then I couldn't live anymore. 】

"Grass!" Edward finally couldn't help but scold, this is a rare situation, Edward rarely spits dirty words.

The sound of the armor rattling reached Edward's ears, and the direction of the sound happened to be Edward's.

A small group of soldiers appeared at the entrance of the alley, led by two young men, a man and a woman, and behind them were soldiers in armor.

"We're the Guards!Don't try to run away, turn around at once!" Kelly shouted after hearing her pet say she felt the smell of blood, and shouted when she saw a teenager in travel clothes in front of the corpse.

Edward was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to be reasonable.

"Thunder Ice Thunder, Storm Hurricane, Claw of Tonnarus, My Great Enemy Floating in the Air!" Edward quickly completed the spell cast, and when the opponent realized that something was wrong, Edward had finished chanting and swung directly forward with his right hand.

Kelly spread an ice shield in front of her, which took less time to chant than her opponent, so she barely managed to finish it before the opponent's mage could strike.

The young man next to Kelly also set up an earth shield to protect the rest of the place, and he didn't think that the other party would fight without saying a word, obviously it was just an ordinary person who died, and everyone obviously had something to say.

The spell in magic language is different from kanji, the pronunciation of a word is not just one syllable, just as goodbye in Japanese and goodbye in Chinese are not the same pronunciation and length, and magic words will be more complex when combined, far beyond the original syllable.

A fierce hurricane swept down the ground towards the soldiers, passing underneath the shields of the two mages, whipping up all those on top of the hurricane.

The soldiers, boys and girls were lifted up and fell heavily to the ground.

Edward was very irritable, looked at the soldier who was thrown to the ground, and said indifferently: "This woman killed herself, I want to cremate her now, do you have any opinions?"

"Young man can't be so grumpy, that prostitute did commit suicide, but you're breaking the rules by attacking the guards. ”

A man appeared behind Edward, and when Edward turned around, he saw that the other man was picking up a blood-stained weapon.

The weapon in the opponent's hand was the weapon that the woman used when she committed suicide, and Edward looked at the rich light attribute energy on the other party's body, which was not only the light attribute, but also the light power that only those in the Temple of Light possessed.

"I apologize for what happened, so Mr. Paladin, can I burn this man and leave?" Edward didn't have a good impression of these people, and knew that he was indeed impulsive.

The man shook his head, "I'm not a paladin, I'm just an ordinary believer in the Temple of Light, and the leader of the guards. But this woman can be left to you, and none of us want to get into trouble, do we?"

Edward didn't speak, chanting a spell to summon flames to consume the poor woman.

It's not that Edward hasn't seen dead people, and he has seen a lot along the way, none of which have anything to do with Edward, and he has done murderous things, from breaking Elsa's heart, Edward has also killed many robbers.

The main reason why Edward is so annoyed is that the other party found the courage to seek death through Edward's hand, just like a person who doesn't want to live was originally going to jump into a river, but when he saw you driving by, he suddenly went down the road and crashed into your car.

The other party was originally just living numbly, working to avoid starvation and cold, but Edward's appearance made her understand that she couldn't live like this, and then died......

If he had known that this would happen, Edward would not give money to the other party.

In this environment where the gods are in the lead, this kind of alley trading and certain part-time jobs are very normal jobs, and human husbands do not prevent their wives from going out to support their families.

"Negative body, do you know what this woman has been through before?"

[When I encountered the bugs, I left my husband and children and ran away. 】

The family affection in this world is indifferent, and survival is also human instinct, not everyone can be so great, this kind of person can't say much, but there must be a small part, Edward doesn't understand, "Is it because of this? I want to live, but I can't stand the condemnation in my heart?"

[There are reasons for this, and part of the reason is that the mother goddess she believes that she has violated the teachings and confiscated the shelter and financial support given to each mother.] 】

This woman's actions cannot be said to be wrong, only to be discouraged, and survival is everyone's instinct.

There are many gods who have the priesthood of motherhood, but there is only one mother earth goddess who can be called the mother goddess, and there are earth temples everywhere, and every mother who believes in and is favored can get a place to live and a small amount of food subsidies, and the people of the temple must not tolerate this woman who has not fulfilled her mother's responsibilities to enjoy the support of the temple, which is a negative effect on the entire temple. Without punishment and receiving previous funding, it is already a blessing.

The last thing Edward wants to encounter is this kind of, many people in this world are miserable, but I don't have to be much happier with you, why do you have to die in front of me?

A soul without faith is really dead after death, as long as you don't offend the gods, the gods will not pull you into heaven, and the woman in front of you is not qualified enough, no god will care if she offends herself, everyone is very busy.

After seeing that there was only one hot wind coin left burning, Edward picked up the wind coin on the ground, which could no longer be spent, and the magic circle on it had been destroyed and lost its original value.

Edward apologized to the Captain of the Guards who were waiting, "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood and a little excited, if it's okay, I'll leave." ”

"Please. Also, how long are you going to stay here?" the guard bowed slightly, not minding what had happened to Edward.

"I don't know, it should be more than a month, or more. ”

When the guard heard this, he suggested: "The Imperial Academy in this city is where many spellcasters gather, and now is also the time for recruitment, and in a few days it will be the time for the teachers of those colleges to gather, if you are interested, you can go and have a look, if you want to enter the Imperial Academy to study, I can open a letter of introduction for you." ”

"Oh, first-level mages are common, right? Are the guards of Andulon City also recruiting for the academy part-time?" "Edward's strength is the first level, and if it is not the light of destruction and the negative body, it is the first level of combat effectiveness.

"I'm Beirut, and I know about the woman who committed suicide, and I'm in charge of this area, so I know who she is and what she does. "Beirut thinks that Edward has a more stable temperament and is the kind of person worth cultivating.

Edward didn't want to get involved with anyone here, especially the official ones.

"Oh. I'm going to eat, you feel free. ”

Edward turned to leave, there was no more to him here.

When he walked out into the sunlight again, Edward felt the need to find a god to believe in.
