When Abel, the manager of the chamber of commerce in the Basque Country, rushed to the plank road elevator, he received news from the waiter that the two had used the teleportation magic circle to return to the lowest level, which was the floor that connected to the plain city.

Since he missed it, Abel didn't have to find someone to bring him to meet the Grand Magician of Pusley, who had already said that he would not force it.

The high cost of going up and down the floors and teleporting the magic array is not something that a young steward can afford; There is nothing to say about the elevator, and it will not be possible for him, a civilian, to ride until he is old. As for taking the marching staircase to the first floor, it was not even thought of. It is estimated that when you walk to the first floor, it will be dark.

Everything that happened at the Chamber of Commerce soon became known. In fact, there is no way to hide it. Because of that strange mist, you will go crazy when you touch it, no exceptions.

The barrier set up by the Grand Wizard of Pusley was quickly breached. Later, other magicians came forward to try to solve all this, but none of them worked.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get out of the way; But there are many more magicians who either go mad, or die, or go mad, and torture themselves to death.

But none of these are the trickiest. The most troublesome thing for the high-ranking people of the Wizards' Guild and the Basque Country is that the fog is still expanding.

And the only people who can enter that fog and still maintain their hearts are very few magicians who are good at spiritual magic. And you have to protect yourself tightly to get in touch with that fog. But it didn't work at all, because there were not many steps forward at all.

Even because of the tough push, the facial features spurt blood, and the skin oozes blood and sweat. If you're lucky, you'll be able to escape before you die, but you'll be either crazy or stupid. If you're unlucky, of course, you just stay inside, and others can't do it if they want to collect their bodies.

During this period, it was not that no one proposed to go to the 'Demon King' for help. But the opinions of these people belonged to only a minority, and they were soon drowned out by the swearing of the opposing side. Surprisingly, no one mentioned the trouble with him, and everyone tacitly ignored the two people who were temporarily living in the city outside the mountain.

But things are gradually spiraling out of control. Not only is the XX layer completely occupied by the strange mist, but no living creature can move freely in the XX layer, or even survive. What's even more terrifying is that the fog begins to spread along the stairs that connect the upper and lower floors, as well as some gaps between floors that people don't notice, towards other floors.

When the ) and ) layers fell one after another, the high-ranking members of the Basque branch of the Wizards' Association began to panic. Layers are nothing, but the point is that one level higher, that is, the level, which is already the core area of the district.

All kinds of important paperwork and records are not so easy to relocate. In particular, everyone has witnessed that ordinary utensils, left in the mist for a long time, will gradually decay and weather. In other words, the magic material can last for a long time, but it still can't completely resist the erosion of fog.

Just when everyone gritted their teeth and struggled to find a solution, the seriousness of the situation further increased, and no one could sit still. When the first monster to emerge from the mist, with a power that ordinary mages could not resist, it stepped out of the range of the mist's erosion. Everyone knew that if this matter was not resolved, the entire Shanling City would eventually be destroyed.

The origin of the monster is clear to everyone. It was a living thing that had died in the mist, including those who had ever known. What's even more terrifying is that these monsters are like plagues, not only spreading mist-like substances, but also making people with weak minds more and more crazy under their attacks. The only thing that is fortunate is that these monsters are not flexible, and the long-range fire strikes of the mages can still be effective.

However, the appearance of the monster is almost equivalent to a showdown. No one continued to ignore the man who sat in the inn in the city outside the mountains, silent about the whole thing.

The young steward of the Chamber of Commerce, Abel, was the most active of the two and the main voice of the compromisers. Of course, he was sent out to make contact with His Majesty the Demon King. The good thing is that if that one really harbors malice and dies a mere steward, no one will feel distressed, for the masters.

The whereabouts of the group have long been explored by those who are interested. It's just that I'm not sure what the other party's attitude is, so no one dares to contact rashly. Abel dressed in formal attire and went to the Dove Song Inn. The only formal dress he had on him sounded sad, but he was lucky compared to his colleagues.

Because of the more senior chamber of commerce managers, they all live in houses adjacent to the chamber of commerce, while Abel, a young man with no foundation, cannot afford to buy a house. But now the XX layer has all fallen, and a group of seniors of the Chamber of Commerce are homeless. In comparison, Abel, who lives on the lower floors, has a nest to live in.

After greeting the half-elf shopkeeper of the Pigeon Song, Able came to the target's courtyard. He smoothed the folds of his clothes, took a deep breath, and then reached out and knocked on the courtyard door. He shouted, "May I ask if Your Excellency the Great Magician Tikal is here?" ”

In a moment, a small crack opened in the gate of the courtyard. A twenty-eight-year-old girl poked out half of her face, looked around, and asked, "Are you the only one coming?" ”

"Yes, ma'am. I'm the steward of the Basque Chamber of Commerce, Abel. Under the instructions of the President Evers, the Grand Magician, he came to pay a special visit to His Excellency the Grand Magician Tikal. "Abel's careful use of the term 'great magician' actually means that the group of people he belongs to and what his attitude is. But that's not the official attitude of the Basque Country.

For the first time, the girl was honored as a lady, and excitedly said to her companion who was hiding behind the door, "He calls me Lady, Kaya." ”

"Where's the ma'am?"

The blonde girl happily opened the door and said, "Please come in." My sister is inside, and I'll let you know. ”

Stepping into the small courtyard of the inn, Abel stretched out half a foot, and immediately froze in place, stunned to see the scene in the courtyard.

People, full of people. There were warriors, there were magicians, there were those who were all armed, and there were those who wore night clothes. And the common characteristic of this group of people is that they stand quietly in place. Some had frightened expressions on their faces, while others looked lean, as if they were concentrating on something. There were many people in it that Abel had seen, most of them famous warriors and magicians in the Basque Country.

It seems that no one has used a tough approach to try to solve His Majesty the Demon King. It's just that they did it quietly, and then they failed just as quietly...... It's no wonder that no one hyped such a humiliating thing.

"They...... Still alive? Abel asked worriedly. Finding out this person's attitude was the most important purpose of his trip. If the two sides tear their faces apart, they will have to respond.

The dark-haired, brown-skinned girl standing behind the door put away a strange metal prop and walked side by side with her companion. The blonde girl, while leading the way, said, "They are still alive." But if you continue, you don't know. Because the first person who came here to be punished had been standing for five days, and had not eaten or drunk. ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"As soon as I entered the door, it was noisy and noisy, and several of them even directly posed as if they were going to kill, and they were fixed here by my sister." As she spoke, the girl suddenly turned her head, looked at the visiting guest with suspicious eyes, and asked, "You won't be here to quarrel too, will you?" If so, I advise you to leave. ”

"No, I'm here with good intentions. There is absolutely no offense. ”

"Hmm." Pouting, the girl looked at the guest for a while and said, "Do it yourself." After speaking, he pushed open a door in the small courtyard, went in, and said, "Sister, another guest is here." ”

"Are you looking for the dead? If yes, let him wait outside first, I'm busy. ”

"It doesn't look like it."

Because the girl was so big that there was no cover, Abel, who followed her, saw the situation in the room at a glance. It was like a starry sky in the dark. The two people in the room seemed to be standing in the void, and with a flick of their hands, a point of light would fly from one end to the other. But strangely, some points of light will disappear for a distance before reappearing.

When they saw the guest, the two waved their hands, and the wonder disappeared. The people in it were the two people Abel had seen from afar at the Chamber of Commerce before, the magician Gabrash Lin Tripwood, and the former demon king, Grand Magician Finn Tikal. He hurriedly saluted respectfully and greeted, "Good day, two Excellencies." I'm the steward of the Basque Chamber of Commerce, Abel. ”

Because it is a small courtyard of an inn, and it is for caravans, there is a large long table. In addition to being a dinner table, it can also be used as a conference table, and Fen is the first to sit on one side of the table. As for the other man, he stood in his original position as if he had nothing to do with him, muttering constantly, and using magic to leave symbols in the air, not like magic runes or magic arrays.

"Sit. What are you here for, just say it. Fen was not polite, and asked straight to the point. However, the two girls still remember to serve tea to the guests and their sisters.

For such a character, of course, Abel does not dare to slack off. In fact, not to mention the great magician, even if the other party is just a magic apprentice, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to offend. Therefore, when His Majesty the Demon King asked, Abel who was seated stood up again and said, "Your Excellency the Grand Magician Tikal, I bring the goodwill of the Basque Chamber of Commerce and apologize for the previous offense. ”

"Okay, I accepted. Is that all? If it's okay, you can go. ”

Hitting a soft nail hard, Abel saw the great magician get up and leave the room, and went to do his own thing, he hurriedly caught up, and then said: "Your Excellency, in fact, we still have something to hope that your Excellency can help. ”

"Needless to say, you are not sincere enough." Standing in the courtyard, Fen didn't plan to talk much nonsense with the person in front of him. She said directly: "If you have the heart to apologize and ask for my help, you should show your sincerity." And are you qualified to decide something? If not, then no matter how much you talk about it, it's nonsense. To show my sincerity, let you take these gifts home. But remember to tell them that if they dare to come a second time, then I will kill them directly, and I will not show mercy again. ”

After speaking, Fen flicked his fingers, and the people who were punished to stand in the courtyard seemed to be unrestrained, and they fell to the ground softly.
