Chapter 2: Cellmates

The town between the federal government and the slums, known as Caesars, has the custom of the Alternate Day Market, where vendors set up stalls in the trading area every other day to sell food and daily necessities.

It's the opening day of the next day's fair, and the stalls in the trade area are already set up early, fresh fruit and freshly baked bread give off the enticing aroma, and the bustling crowd shows how much prosperity the federal presence has brought to the surrounding towns.

Both the horses and camels around the inn looked fat and healthy, and even the wild dogs on the side of the road seemed to be round.

The streets were filled with people of all colors, from members of ancient sects wearing turbans to oriental beauties in cheongsam, and young people gathering together to smoke cigarettes.

This is an era of great mixing of human races, there is no difference between human races, thousands of years of mixing and marriage have made there is almost no difference between human races, only relying on some subtle differences to distinguish their ancient bloodlines, but obviously no one cares about these.

Although it was a good situation, Shi Di, who was obviously also in it, couldn't be happy, and he even felt that he hadn't been so unlucky for a long time.

In the morning, he came to the bazaar with the intention of using the gold coins he had stolen yesterday to buy some meat and bring back to satisfy the little ones.

Although he turned his head sharply and pretended to be calm and walked away quickly, he was still dressed in the same way as yesterday, so that the other party immediately recognized him.

"Stop! It's him! It's this little bastard who stole Lao Tzu's gold coins!

So yesterday's situation repeats itself again, no, it's worse.

At present, he is in the law enforcement category of the city guard, not as familiar with the terrain as the slums, and the pursuers behind him have suddenly changed from 1 person to 3 people, and if he fights with them, he obviously has no chance of winning.

After three blocks, another block will be "there", and the presence of the Earth Barrier will make him have no way to escape.

The soldiers also discovered this and were about to push Shi Di to a dead end.

However, after turning a street corner, the soldiers were shocked to find that the target they were chasing had disappeared.

The boy who had just run wild could no longer be found on the streets, and the soldier who had stolen the gold coin looked hateful, thinking that this little bastard could not be a sorcery, and that the slime that was so sticky yesterday that he couldn't even take off his boots was also his ghost.

"Hey, did you just see a bastard with a headband and a leather bag running over?" asked the soldier who was traveling with him, pulling a stiff old man by his hand.

The old man pointed to his ear and waved his hand, indicating that he could not hear.

The soldier let go, and the old man continued to move slowly in the opposite direction, an unobtrusive smile flashing across his face with his back to the soldier.

If they come out after changing their appearance in the morning, it will not be their turn to shout, Shi Di is a little annoyed, it seems that the little ones have no luck today.

For a moment, Shi Di ignored that there was a figure in front of him who was roaring in his direction, and he couldn't avoid it, and the two of them collided.

With a whoosh, it was as if something had slipped out of the man's body.

Still in the sight of those soldiers, Shi Di had to lie on the ground and act awkwardly.

While acting, Shi Di looked at the daredevils who knocked him down.

She is a girl in a black robe, holding a book in her left hand and a staff in her right hand, dressed as a high-level spiritual magician. She was covered with a pale blue halo, a frozen elemental spirit technique called the Ice Shield, and it was this spirit that protected her, leaving her unscathed even if she collided with Shi Di.

The girl is thin, her hair is wrapped in a black turban, and her face is also veiled, so she can't see her face clearly, only a pair of eyes that reveal the girl's unusual identity.

Burgundy eyes, she's a spirit clan?

At this moment, the terrifying red pupils did not look at Shi Di, but looked straight at the red spar that was broken in half beside Shi Di, and did not look away until the light of the flame element that the spar was originally shining slowly dimmed.

"It's the Spirits!"

"At such a young age, you have reached the realm of refining flame elemental crystals?"

The people around began to whisper, the girl turned around, raised her hand, and a cold light shot at Shi Di.

Shi Dixin couldn't scream well, but he couldn't dodge at all, and was directly shrouded in cold light and became an ice sculpture.

"It's a freezing technique! a spiritual technique that can only be performed by the high-level spiritual power of the ice and snow elemental!"

"Is it actually a spirit clan that cultivates both the ice and fire elements?"

The girl left the crowd directly as if nothing had happened, and her eyes did not stay on Shi Di from beginning to end.

All that was left at the scene was people's endless speculation, and Shi Di, who was frozen and unable to move.

The cold wind from the Freezing Technique had shattered some of his disguise, and the three soldiers had apparently noticed something strange coming towards him, and he couldn't move now, and his footsteps were getting closer.

This time it was really capsized in the gutter, and Shi Di thought resignedly, he would inevitably suffer some flesh and skin.

"Hmm" Shi Di slowly woke up, only to feel a hot pain in his body, and it was as uncomfortable as if he wanted to die if he moved a little.

Still with his eyes closed, Shi Di recalled the last memory before he fainted, which was that he was frozen on the ground and was kicked by those soldiers with military boots.

Opening his eyes, Shi Di looked around and found that he was in a small iron cage, surrounded by a man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his body exuded a strong smell of alcohol.

Staring at the flickering green light on the wall outside the iron cage, Shi Di understood that he had been captured and imprisoned in Caesar City's Fengyun Prison, which used the Fengyun Elemental Crystal as an energy source, hence the name Fengyun Prison.

Over the years, although Shi Di has committed a lot of burglaries of all sizes, he has never been caught by the city guard once by relying on his flexible skills and astute adaptability, coupled with the strange props he invented himself.

It's a good thing now, thanks to the unknown spirit girl, not only was she arrested and put in prison, but she also seemed to be seriously injured, and her ribs were probably broken, and I don't know if I still have the life to get out of here alive.

Alas, even if you are a ghost, you have to ask the spirit girl why she wants to do it to herself.

Just as Di was worried about his future fate, and at the same time drew circles and cursed the spirit girl he met before, the man next to him turned over and seemed to wake up.

"Beauty, don't run, come" The man muttered blindfolded and leaned over to Shi Di, and stroked Shi Di's face with one hand.

Thinking about it, he didn't wake up from a hangover, and thought that the prison cell was a gentle township, and he regarded Shi Di as a woman.

"Hey, you can see clearly, little brother, I'm a 24k gold pure man, straight and straight, get out of the way!"

Shi Di was touched by the man, the hairs on his body stood up, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, the movement was so big that it drove the injury to his ribs, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"Huh, didn't I just wait to see the legendary first beauty of the Federation while drinking wine in Le Shu Ju, when did you enter this ghost place?"

The man got up, a puzzled look on his face.

How do I know, I'm afraid I'm dreaming. Shi Di rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to the man.

With the faint green light in the prison, Shi Di began to observe the man next to him to assess whether he would pose a threat to himself.

The man is about thirty years old, his face is very delicate, he wears round eyes, a white psychic suit, and there is no weapon at hand.

"Oops, you're hurt. After talking to himself for a long time, the man noticed Shi Di's injury, "Fortunately, you met the divine doctor me, which will make you regain your strength!"

What is rejuvenating, as if he didn't lift Shi Di just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but the man couldn't help but raise his hand to Shi Di's chest, a burst of white light flashed, Shi Di only felt that his body was very warm, and when he came back to his senses, he found that all the injuries on his body had healed.

Shi Di moved in disbelief, and the broken ribs were also connected.

"I can't thank you enough. Seeing that Shi Di wanted to thank him, the man took a step ahead of him and said, really, a personality that can be pulled better than him, but I like it, Shi Di couldn't help laughing.

"In the next Shi Di, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" was in a good mood after recovering from the injury, and Shi Di dragged up the text.

"Just call me Gu Ci!" the man introduced himself.

has the relationship of saving his life, and Gu Ci is a master who is more than Shi Di, Shi Di quickly chatted with him endlessly.

During the chat, Shi Di learned that Gu Ci was a spirit clan sorcerer specializing in light elemental spirituality, and he had lost his memory due to an accident in his early years, and since then he has been traveling around the Kama continent to find out his identity.

It is precisely because of Gu Ci's travels in recent years that he has a clear understanding of the situation up and down the Kama continent, and the conversation has opened the eyes of Shi Di, who has never left the slums and Caesar City.

There are three races living on the vast Kama continent, the Blood Race, the Spirit Race, and the Human Race.

The Blood Clan is the most dangerous race on the continent, which is related to their innate talent, fortunately, the Blood Clan is used to living in the southern part of the continent, except for some Blood Clan elites in the federal government, there are basically no footprints of the Blood Clan in other places. Blood people whose strength has reached a certain level can conclude a contract with the ancient phantom beast, and the appearance of the blood clan after the contract is no different from that of the human race, and after entering the battle, they can turn into a beast form, and the specific form depends on the form of the phantom beast that signed the contract. Since most of the phantom beasts on the Kama continent are descendants of Warcraft, only a very small number of blood people can get the Divine Beast contract, so the blood people are mostly affected by the heart of Warcraft and become bloodthirsty and brutal, and only the blood people with particularly strong spiritual power can get rid of the influence of Warcraft and maintain their hearts.

The Spirit Race is the most mysterious race on the main road, they do not like to live in groups, they are scattered all over the Kama Continent, and only once every ten years they gather at the headquarters of the Elemental Association located in the northern part of the Kama Continent. The Eldarites have a fanatical quest for manipulating the elements, and the secret methods passed down from generation to generation have made the Elvestreams know how to drive the different elements, and they seem to only be interested in this matter. The cold spirits have no concept of kinship, and they are often sent by their parents to the nearest branch of the Elemental Association to cultivate them as soon as they are born, and leave the association to practice alone until a certain elemental spiritual power reaches the qualified standard. Although generally speaking, the spirit people will continue to practice in the direction of the elements they chose when they were young, but there are also a very few spirit people with extraordinary strength who can manipulate a variety of elements, according to legend, if the spirit people can integrate the spiritual power of the seven major elements, and will get rid of the shackles of ** and become a spirit body to obtain eternal life, it will be tantamount to a god-like existence.

Shi Di's Terran tribe lives in the middle of the continent and is in the federal government's sphere of influence. Neither possessing the strong military strength of the blood race, nor the ability of the spirit race to manipulate the elements, in the Kama continent, the human race is in a relatively humble position, if it were not for the Kama federal government issued a number of decrees to protect the human race, and the mysterious organization called the Heavenly Punishment Gate secretly supported it, the weak human race may have disappeared in the long river of history. Fortunately, despite the lack of talent, the Terrans have agile skills and flexible mobility, although these abilities make the Terrans in the Kama Continent equate with words such as theft and fraud, but as long as they can survive, who cares. After all, it was through theft, deception, and assassination that the Terrans were born with the Divine Punishment, a mysterious organization that other races and forces feared, and won a place for themselves.

These three major races have formed four forces on the continent, namely the Tyrannical Kingdom, the Elemental Association, the Heavenly Punishment Gate, and the Federal Government.

The Rampant Kingdom is the center of power of the Blood Clan, respecting the Xuan clan as the royal family of the kingdom, and Xuan Nuo as the current king. The Xuan clan, which has inherited the contract from generation to generation with the ancient divine beast Bai Ze, was born with the spirit of a king, and Rao is a land of tigers and wolves where most of the residents are demon blood clans such as the Raging Kingdom is also in strict order under the governance of Xuan Nuochen, and the brave and warlike king ** under his command has made the Kama Federal Government dare not touch the southern part of the continent for many years.

The Elemental Association is held by the elders of the Seven Spirit Clans, Ice, Snow, Fire, Wind and Cloud, Thunder and Light, Earth, Darkness, and Light, and all decisions are made by the monthly Elder Roundtable. Due to its absolute neutrality and never participating in the struggle between forces on the mainland, the Elemental Association has been at peace with other forces on the continent for thousands of years. It's not so much that they don't have ambition, it's that they don't know what ambition is.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate is a mysterious force that has risen rapidly in the past 200 years, and the members of the organization are uncertain and have no fixed residence, and the outside world knows little about it, nor does it know who its leader is. Although it is good at concealment, the things that the organization has done in the past 200 years are full of heart-wrenching heart-pounds, and the members of the organization are decisive in killing, ruthless in their methods, and they regard the other three major forces as if they were violating it many times, stealing the highest secret method of the Elemental Association, assassinating the important ministers of the federal military aircraft, and abducting the prince of the rampaging kingdom, and after each crime, he retreats like a ghost without leaving the slightest trace, only a piece of paper that follows to reveal his identity to the other party. No one knows who they are, just as no one knows what their purpose is.

The original purpose of the federal government, which was composed of the elites of the blood, spirit, and human races, was to unite against the external forces that invaded the Kama continent, but after the invading forces were defeated thousands of years ago, the federal government was not dissolved. The original elites who formed the Federation had the idea of dominating the continent and instilled it in their next generation, and after a millennium, the members of the federal government had become the rulers of the human settlements in the Middle, and they were undoubtedly the nobles of the region. The current leader is Xiu Yuan, a spirit clan who is not only interested in elemental spiritual power.

All this is new knowledge for Shi Di, and he was deeply moved by Gu Ci's narration.

The feeling of wanting to leave "here" is getting stronger and stronger, as if the longing for the distance that can gush out of your mouth.

At this time, Shi Di did not know that the gears of fate had begun to start slowly, and the future that greeted him was shining with a seductive and dangerous light, prompting him to compose a grand epic that even he could not imagine.

Easter Egg Theatre:

Shi Di: I'm a straight man, don't come here, don't come here, come over again, I'm going to call

Gu Ci: (Throwing soap)

Shi Di: Uh-huh, ah-hmm, yes (10,000 words omitted here)

Gu Ci: He said no, but his body is very honest!
