Chapter 563: Bastard Friend
PS: P.S. Thank you for the birthday red envelope from D.D.V, thank you for remembering me, and thank you for not giving up. Although life is full of unexpected troubles, with your support, I can wait for the day when the bitterness will come. Bow ~ thanks ~
The sea breeze carries a forgettable summer temperature, but it doesn't feel warm.
Ivan glanced at the slowly retracted sails, and subconsciously tugged on the shoulder straps of his backpack, which contained two magic magic weapon pistols and a white headband with a bow. According to the regulations, the magic guide secret weapon should be handed over to the alliance for safekeeping, if Aisha really can't come back in a short time to get back the magic guide secret weapon that belongs to her-
Don't want to be like this.
"Uh...... That, Miss Joan...... Ivan, when I'm done, I'll go to Adrian City to find you. John promised with a little embarrassment, and couldn't help but scratch at his hair. Yiqie is over, but he can't leave for the time being, and the people in the churches on the island want him to go to see the archbishop of the City of Light. Once a person is treated as an important person, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of trouble, and John is now very hopeful that Zi will also be able to do space magic. He hung his head and exhaled as if helpless and complaining.
"Well, no problem, when you get to Adrian City, you can go directly to the office in the south, and the clerks there are all old friends of mine. Xiulin glanced at him with a pleasant look, and shook Ivan's shoulder casually, "Ah, by the way, I remember that Mr. John also knows them, and if you inquire about such a thing, you just need to leave it to the clerk of Adrian City-"
Xiulin suddenly tilted her head and turned to an unfamiliar figure with a surprised expression. Just a moment. She felt as if someone was staring at them intently, listening to every word they said.
"What?" John immediately turned his head as well.
"Ah, Meishi, I really haven't rested yet......"
γγ¬γ€ is an illusion.
On the shore, only a group of anxious people craned their necks and pushed wildly, eager to fly to the ship immediately.
......
That Elsa Trander is missing.
In the crowd, the president of the Augustan Chamber of Commerce, Holy Flame, stared silently at the sailing ship on the shore.
This result was honestly a little surprising to him, listening to the crow's meaning, the girl's death was the most normal result. Attacked by the Demon Prince. Falling from a great height. Plus deadly magic poisoning. If she is still alive like this, it is estimated that she is not human herself. Xing, that bastard, didn't make it clear.
The elder has limited information at hand at the moment.
Finding a missing unknown creature is never an easy task. Before he could act, the Holy Flame had a premonition that this would not be easy. The Holy Flame was depressed as he wondered why he was so angry. Without hesitation, he took the trouble into Zi's arms. While continuing to secretly pay attention to the magician and his party.
They were going to Anglo, and it sounded like they were going to meet Laxis Flotica.
But they don't know yet. Laxis Flotica is no longer alive.
It is not surprising that the people of Messiah Island have not heard of Flotica, and there is no doubt that they have not received any news these days. What struck him as strange was that he hadn't heard anything of it when he was in Port Angel.
Bolenfuz didn't make a big deal about it in the first place? What kind of fame was that old madman doing? Did he just let Flotica go? Perhaps, the old madman didn't see Flotica's body and didn't know that Flotica was dead, but he had to release the news that Flotica had betrayed! This is not like his style!
No, nothing.
After a few days of rain and rain, the Port of Angel was as quiet as Messiah Island, and it seemed that the entire area of Yellin, even ...... The entire continent of Palan fell silent.
It's never a good thing to be quiet for too long, especially after such an amazing event that happened like a thunderbolt in the sky, and Holy Flame always felt that it was not a good sign. The Holy Flame heard from the star that Flotica's death was related to the star's brother, and that guy Yatel Hernos was probably not a simple person. The heirs of the black stars, none of them are honest.
I couldn't help but think of his bastard friend again.
Last time, if he hadn't stopped him without fear of death, Xing would definitely have gone to his brother to avenge the student's death. Xing's condition is not good, he is also injured, it seems that he is still injured a lot! When he thinks of this, the Holy Flame actually feels eerie - what happened on the island?
The wind blowing in the distance still oozes a faint smell of blood, as if to tell him that it is a heavy blow that human beings cannot bear.
Step by step, the Holy Flame moved with the crowd, his gaze sweeping over people's heads. They built a pontoon bridge over the sea. Most of the people couldn't go for a while, the boat was too small, and many wanted to move their homes to the other side, and the church sent people. He glanced again at the mages who were about to return to the Anglo region, wondering if they would leave by boat now.
In fact, the Holy Flame was not as anxious as he pretended.
He didn't plan to rush back to the City of Light immediately and tell SΓΉ Star the news of Ai Xia's disappearance. There are also many intelligence merchants of the Augustan Chamber of Commerce in the Anglo region, although few people in the Chamber of Commerce know him as the true president, but all the intelligence merchants know the "Instruments of the Holy Flame". If he had gone to gather information himself, he would have been more efficient than the clerk in Adrian City.
However, he shizai did not like the Anglo region. That place, and the Wizard Alliance, always made him feel very uncomfortable, as if all the internal organs were crowded together.
......
The Flame wasn't called Valiel Augustus before, he had a very ordinary name that no one had mentioned for a long time.
His grandfather was a merchant in the kingdom of Ola, and although not well-known, he also owned a considerable fortune.
With this inheritance, his uneducated father married the daughter of a beautiful nobleman. Shengyan felt that Zi was not half as beautiful as his mother, which he often regretted, but he had inherited his father's love for beautiful women, in other words. His father was a playboy in his youth.
The Holy Flame had a beautiful and short childhood, but before he could remember his grandfather's moyang, the steady old merchant died. The family's business fell into the hands of his father, which can only be said to be a tragedy, and Shengyan still can't figure out how his father squandered all the huge family property in just a few years, coupled with his father's constant scandals, soon, after the beautiful mother shed countless tears, he left home and never came back.
Seeing that the father and son were about to become beggars on the streets, the father took out the last money left by his grandfather. Handed over to a group of mysterious merchants. Until the time of pick-up. The Holy Flame realized that his father was actually doing business with the terrible Demon Crystal Thieves. Moreover, that group of people is not ordinary Demon Crystal thieves, their ships travel between the distant Demon Continent and several hidden ship ports, if this kind of thing is known by the Demon Wizard Alliance. None of them will end well.
However. The forbidden business allowed them to regain the kuaile of the rich. And the self-esteem that belongs to the upper classes, and beyond that, it seems, there is something else. When he was a child, he was often afraid of his father. But I can't help but be fascinated by this magical resource. He secretly studied his father's goods, hoping that one day, Zi would be able to master the power of these colored stones.
That is the power that can bring prosperity! Everyone should have the right to pursue it!
When Saint Flame was fifteen years old, his father went to meet the magic crystal thieves as usual, and it was not unsurprising that he encountered the executors of the Demon Wizard Alliance. The thieves who dared to go to the Demon Continent had already put their lives on the line, not to mention that they were waiting to die if they were caught, and they immediately got into a fight with the magicians. Flame didn't know who killed his father at the time, only that it was a chaotic battle, and the murderer could be a magician or a thief. But in short, my father died, and he was safe. At that time, his father did not take him with him.
After the accident, he fled with the money.
In those years, although he was only doing some jewelry, fur and other businesses on the surface, he was still secretly researching new magic techniques. The death of his father seems to have turned those magical stones into an even more wonderful treasure, exuding a fatal temptation that only belongs to "taboos" all the time.
He didn't want to believe that he couldn't touch that kind of thing for the rest of his life, especially when he found out that Zi could use the magic magic weapon. Yes, this kind of power is indeed dangerous, but the Holy Flame is not willing to let the dangerous power be in the hands of a few people - according to the qingkuang at that time, it should be said that it is in the hands of Asa Hernos alone.
He was eager to see the most terrifying demon in the legend.
And then he actually saw it.
Across a small old dining table, the young man in a black cloak across from him silently raised a glass full of red wine in his hand, and the Holy Flame almost fell from his chair as if he had been pressed against the center of his brow by a magic magic pistol. But he straightened up, sweating profusely.
"It's me. "The young man seemed to read the deepest fears of his heart," said Asa Hernos. β
"You...... You're coming to me personally?"
Sheng Yan understood that Yiqie's defense was useless, it was not the first time he had faced death, and whenever he felt that Zi was about to die, he would think of his father. But that kind of person has embarked on a path that no one else dares to take.
It's strange that he wasn't so upset.
In his eyes, only that moment, only the moment when his father made up his mind, did the figure that had been muddy all this time become hard. Men should dare to risk their lives and dare to question the "order" set by the strong. If you can't control Zi's destiny and fight for Zi's ideal future, then what's the point of living?
His father was not a good father of good character, but he felt that his father had many things and did nothing wrong.
What he didn't expect was that the demon let him go and agreed to his bet. Although it was only a verbal promise, Saint Flame instinctively felt that he would obey. In the days that followed, the Holy Flame lived in a sense of crisis that he would die at any time, which made him feel that life was extremely real.
Hoshi didn't know about his past, and he never said that he once blamed Hoshi for his father's death.
For the Holy Flame, finally being able to become friends with the star must have been an outrageous enough experience. Sometimes Shengyan felt that Zi was more courageous than his father, but he was much more cautious than his father, and he had to hide when he knew how to hide. He glanced at the Magus again, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes, looking for his traces from time to time.
Joan?
That woman, who wanted to investigate his chamber of commerce half a year ago, had a very good evaluation of her, saying that she was a smart opponent. If she had the chance, Flame would be willing to make friends with her.
Not right now, though.
Now, Holy Flame only hoped that she hadn't found any Yiyang from this large crowd. (To be continued......)
