It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that the light of the mirror tower gradually faded.

The Lord's Mansion of Dover, located at the junction of Baicheng District and College District, is prosperous on one side and scholarly on the other.

After a thousand years of development and construction, today's Thurand Island is undoubtedly a pure land on the sea. However, the "Mirror Princess", one of the six mage lords, Lady Desiris, who was strolling in the garden, had a faint worry on her face.

Said to be "Madame", but De Hiris was not married, she studied under the leader of the mages on the island of Thurland, "Arcane Hand" Kelzman, and was promoted to the Archmage of the Seven Rings at a young age. On the mainland, it is also amazing. What's more, if Mage Thran wants to be promoted, in addition to hard power as a foundation, he also needs to pass a series of tedious exams.

They are called "academics", but they don't just talk about it.

Mrs. Desiris, who is only thirty-three years old. She has black hair in a bun, wears a silver-gray robe, has an elegant demeanor and a noble temperament. However, to be able to sit firmly in the position of lord, her wrist naturally has something extraordinary.

"The envoys have departed, and should be able to meet the spring meeting in March," said the slender lady with the money, "and be escorted by Lord Morent, as instructed by Madame." ”

"Although he is a six-ring wind method, if he encounters a big man in the seventh ring or even the eighth ring, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out," De Hiris sighed softly, "I don't know that they are still a little afraid of the teacher." ”

"If Lord Kerzman speaks, who would dare to disobey Thuran and the Celestial?" said the female official with an inexplicable expression, but the titular speaker had not participated in any discussion of the Nine Rings Council for many years. In recent years, he has stayed on the gray tower and does not go out, often meditating once. It will last for two or three months.

"The teacher can't speak," De Hiris shook her head, she was still willing to reveal some secrets about the loyal female officer, "and once he takes a stand, the apparent balance will be upset. If the two factions tear their faces apart, Thran will inevitably be greatly damaged, and may even evolve into a protracted civil war. ”

"But we have the Gray Tower. The female officer asked puzzled. The Grey Tower, one of the Nine Towers, wields the power of the Arcane Origin to silence any opponents.

"A victory is a tragic victory, and the thousand-year-old heritage of the island of Thrand cannot be destroyed," De Hiris rolled up her sleeves. Pluck a petal, "As for the Gray Tower......

She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't continue. Regarding the core secrets of the magic web, the less people know about it, the better.

"Madam, the lord of the castle asks to see you. At this moment, the pink-clothed maid came running in small steps.

"It's so late, not see!" said Desiris's fair face, a look of displeasure was evident. She frowned and came up with an excuse. "Just say I slept. ”

"Said the lord of the city," said the second maid, dressed in blue, gasping for breath, "he has seen the light of the mirror tower, and knows that you have not slept yet, madam." ”

Desires was stunned for a moment, but did not speak. The third maid in Tsing Yi ran over in a panic, "Madam, the city lord has broken in." ”

The "mirror princess" with a dusty temperament finally couldn't help it. She poked out a jade finger. Pointing to the garden door, he whispered,

"Mirror maze. ”

"How's it going, have you had enough today?" asked Allegri, sitting on the edge of the bed, in a warm voice.

The big dog pounced and shook his head aggrievedly. Zenis didn't take it seriously at all, and after eating and drinking enough, he picked his teeth, and then remembered the poor big dog, and the old man was reluctant to spend money, so he went to the stable and brought half a pot of hay, and tried to send it away.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to eat meat. Allegri assured that the lives of a man and a dog have long been linked, the so-called you have me, I have you.

The big dog barked, as if to express satisfaction. But after all, it was eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it didn't take long for an angry shout from the other side, "Shut up, don't let people sleep." ”

Hearing that it was Beverly's voice, Allegri stuck out his tongue at Simba. For nightingales, sleeping at this point is not common, I guess I didn't go to work tonight.

Perhaps, she was touched too. Allegri thought so and took off his robe to go to bed.

But at the moment when the candle was blown out, there was a heavy footstep in the corridor outside. Getting closer and closer, it finally stopped in front of his door.

Allegri's heart sank, and he subconsciously clenched the oak stick standing beside the bed. But he couldn't remember who he had offended. Could it be that Aubrey was so fast, he had an accident in the afternoon, and someone was sent to the door in the evening?

Bang bang, bang, bang,

Allegri breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal that Simbamo was going to scream, but he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he just listened.

There was a heavy gasp for breath, and then the door creaked open, and Beverly's impatient voice rang out, "Who?"

"You slut, you even forgot about Lao Tzu?" the man asked scoldingly, "Why don't you do business today?"

"I don't want to do it. Beverly replied coldly, wanting to close the door.

"Yo, a **, have you learned to shake your face?" the man scolded, and he kicked open the wooden door and followed in.

"Get out!" Beverly raised her voice, reaching for a push, but she couldn't.

"**!" the big man locked her hands and pressed her to the bed. With a snort, the woman's pajamas were torn apart, revealing large patches of white and tender skin.

The man was full of foul language, and he wanted the overlord to bow hard, but Beverly couldn't resist, and her voice was full of crying. Allegri, who was two thin planks away, sighed and picked up the stick.

This is called "involuntarily".

"Let her go!" Allegri shouted as he pushed the door open. Simba followed, the same ferocious howl.

"What kind of hanging thing are you?" the big man in the adventurer's costume turned his head, his face full of unhappiness.

"Let go of her. Allegri repeated, he had no relevant experience, so he seemed a little reserved. If you are familiar with it, you will already rush forward at this time, and it is better to strike first.

"Grass!" the big man spat. Tuck the job back into the crotch of his pants, tie the belt and pull a short knife from the boot shaft.

"Are you the concubine of this bitch?" he said, standing up, with big shoulders and a round waist, half a head taller than Allegri, "and don't get out of here." Lao Tzu castrated you. ”

"It's you who should get out. Allegri said in a deep voice, although Beverly's room was bigger than his, it was only a few dozen square meters. Only five or six steps between the two of them, he could clearly see each other's rugged faces, as well as the hideous scar on his left eyebrow.

"Look for death. The big man pounced and slashed at him with a short knife.

At Beverly's screams, Allegri dodged sideways and performed the moves Zenis had taught him, smashing the stick sideways. smashed the opponent's waist ribs.

The big man was in pain, roared violently, and finally looked at this opponent squarely. He took a step back, moved his joints, and a pair of arm guards actually lit up with a pale cyan luster.

Enchanted Armor?Alleg's color tightened, he didn't expect the enchanted items on the Isle of Thran. It is so widely used that the prostitutes in the tavern are looking for pleasure. can equip a pair.

With the blessing of the wind magic, when the big man swings his sword again, he has both speed and strength. Fortunately, Allegri has practiced martial arts for a while, and he can still resist it. And as time progresses, his moves become more and more proficient, which is the value of actual combat drills.

Just when the two were fighting. The tavern guards finally arrived. Lu Ben, the waiter who ran at the front, pinched his throat and shouted, "Who dares to make trouble in the copper compass?

Don't look at his mother's motherhood, what he said really works, Allegri waved his stick. Avoid each other and retreat into the hallway. The big man hesitated to stop, only to give Allegri a vicious look.

Luben came over with his guards, separated the two first, and then went directly to ask Beverly. She wrapped herself in a quilt, her expression gloomy, as if she had finally recognized reality.

This is fate, no matter what, there is no escape. As long as you choose this trade, you will be despised, and this body of flesh and skin, as long as you pay, you can use it at will.

"Hank, you're also a regular customer of the tavern, Miss doesn't go to work, you're looking for someone else, why did you chase here?" Lu Ben recognized the identity of the big man, and his expression softened a little.

Hank snorted, put away his dagger, pushed away the guards, and walked away. Luben turned to Allegri and was about to say a few words, when Zenis slowly shook up and beckoned, "Igo." ”

"The old knife is looking for you, you can go," Luben waved his hand, "remember, don't meddle in the future." ”

Allegri glanced at Beverly with concern, and when he saw that she was just cowering on the bed and not speaking, he shook his head helplessly. He put the stick back into his room, ordered the big dog to watch the house, and followed Zenis down the stairs.

"Why, I'm ten percent martial arts, and you haven't learned one percent yet, so you're in a hurry to save the beauty of the hero?" the old man stabbed with his hands behind his back and lightly.

"What kind of hero am I, Beverly is not a beauty," Allegri scratched his head, "but just a few steps away, I can't sit idly by, can I?"

"If you want to live a long way, you have to sit idly by," Zennis said in a deep voice, "I have been in the copper compass for fifteen years, and the young lady has changed one stubble after another, are they really forced to be helpless? The poor boy by the sea, who can live by collecting shells, and Anne, the orphan girl on the dock, goes to the fish market before dawn to set up a stall and still make money to make a living...... It's not that they can't endure that hardship, so they are willing to fall and choose the path of making money with their legs?"

Allegri sighed, there must be something hateful about the poor man, and he did not know it.

"I advise you, don't befriend them, what is the point of giving up your self-esteem for money?" Zennis looked at him with one eye, "Besides, you don't have that ability now." ”

"I see, teacher. Allegri nodded in reply.

"You drove one out today, and there will be a second and a third in the future," the old man continued, "how do you know how many times she has sold over the years?"

Although this sentence is a bit harsh, it is also true, and Allegri is speechless.

"That Hank, a gang thug, has some power in the docklands," Zenis thought for a moment, and then reminded, "These days, when you go out, be careful. ”

"I will, teacher. Allegri made a note of himself.

"Also, the hay room by the stable, if you are willing to live in it, I will let someone help you vacate it," the old man thought for a moment, and then said indifferently, "You practice the knife well, don't delay it." ”

Allegri nodded silently.

After talking to Zenis, Allegri stood by the well in the backyard, fetched a bucket of cold water and washed his face.

During the fight, he was scratched with a few wounds on his body, but it was very shallow, and there was a "bright godhead", and he should be able to heal when he got up tomorrow.

After a casual moment, he walked back to his room, where Beverly's door was still open, and the dim light shimmered and poured out.

Before Allegri pushed the door, he subconsciously glanced at it and saw that Beverly was still in her original position, and she was stunned.

He hesitated for a moment, but turned and walked in, moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

Beverly shook her head and didn't speak.

"Has this ever happened before?" Allegri said, not being able to chat.

Beverly nodded, still not speaking.

"Don't do it, this kind of business, there will always be accidents. Allegri persuaded. After he asked that question, he knew that he was stupid, perhaps because of today's experience, she resisted like never before. Otherwise, what's the difference between being downstairs and being upstairs?

"In that case, I won't have any money for Lanaya. Beverly muttered.

"As long as you're alive, as long as you want to live, you won't starve," Allegri was a little annoyed when she still said this, "If you exert your strength in the workshop, even if you are bullied, you can justifiably resist, instead of being regarded as a tool to vent your desires like now." ”

His words were a bit heavy, and Beverly was hurt, so she reacted quickly and said angrily, "Why are you teaching me?"

"As a friend," Allegri said, "if you find it unpleasant, you can get by and live this life...... But do you think Ranaya is willing to use the money she earns to practice magic?"

Beverly sat down on the bed and covered her face with the quilt.

"I can lend you some money before you move out and find a new job," Allegri said softly, "whether it's laundry, cooking, weaving, or a small business, if you look for it, there's always a way." ”

With that, Allegri put the somewhat shriveled money bag on the bed, pushed the door open, and went back to his room to get ready to rest.

After a few more moments, Beverly stepped out of bed, closed the door barefoot, and put the scissors hidden under her back into the drawer.
