[[[CP|W:800|H:600|A:L]]] In the small town of Caesar's Manor, the farmers are afraid to go about their work, grinding, feeding the horses, harvesting forage, etc., and several women with bibs are coaxing their children who have just turned two or three years old, while peeling and cutting the fruit that has just been picked from the orchard.

Alice exclaimed, "What a pleasant farm life, carefree, living a peaceful and beautiful life." ”

Bingzhi said evilly: "How do you know that they are not worried, have you forgotten about Toby and their family?"

"Yes, even ordinary people will have troubles in their homes. Alice turned back to the people behind her, "Why are you still following us?"

The guards who followed behind said, "It's our lord who asked us to follow and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"No, no, no. Alice waved her hand and said, "I hate it the most, when I come out, I am followed by a large group of followers, you go back quickly, I don't need your protection." ”

The guards looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Alice raised her fist and said, "If you don't leave, I'll beat you away." ”

Seeing that the princess was resolutely unwilling to let them follow, the guards had no choice but to leave.

Get out of Caesar's Manor and return to the streets of Arrant. As the day of the alchemy competition approached, more and more magic alchemists came from all over the world, each wearing strange magic robes, and some of them even wore various medals of honor that they had once received. After all, they must all be masters of alchemy, and no one wants to lose to the other in momentum, and everyone is willing to let others cry out in amazement after seeing their medals.

"Look at the master, it's a goblin, it's a dwarf, are they alchemists too?" Alice couldn't help but cry out as she pointed to a few alien mages with clubs on the street.

Bingzhi said evilly: "Not necessarily, these subhuman races of underground shijie are good at analyzing and decomposing mineral materials, and many alchemists generally hire them to help themselves." ”

"Oh, I see. Alice called again: "Master, you see they have brought a lot of magical beasts." Look at that master, what kind of monster is that?"

"That's the Fire Gull. ”

"And what about that?" Alice said as she walked, pointing to the various monsters passing by in the street.

In the city, it is generally not allowed to allow magical beasts to appear on the streets at will, but some magical beasts that do not cause much damage can still allow their owners to summon them.

These magicians who came to participate in the alchemy competition came from all over Shijie, and the magical beasts they brought were also from all over Shijie.

"Ah, it's a unicorn! There, there's a king crab, I miss Bertha. Alice couldn't stop shouting the names of the various magical beasts she knew, and suddenly asked, "Master, what kind of magical beast is that, it's so beautiful." ”

I saw a creature floating above the head of a magician on the side of the road, which looked like a dandelion and a white anemone, the size of a grinding disc, and the tentacles as thin as silk were constantly dancing in the air, which was very beautiful.

"Oh!" Bing Zhixie was a little surprised, and said as he walked, "This man is a great man. ”

Alice asked, "Weishenme, is that monster very powerful?"

"I can't say it's amazing. Bingzhi said: "That's a kind of spiritual demonic beast, called the spiritual dweller." This kind of demonic beast is only attached to people whose spirit and heart are absolutely pure, and even the slightest evil thought will not be favored by it. ”

"The heart is absolutely pure. That's amazing, master, let's go get to know the owner of that monster. Alice said.

Bing Zhiyi grabbed her and said: "No need to go, there are many people on Shijie who have all kinds of abilities and can stand alone, and there must be a lot of alchemy competitions this time, you want to get to know them, they don't necessarily want to know you, don't go to this trouble?" Let's find a place where we can exchange news, don't you like to listen to stories?"

"But......" Alice turned around again, only to see that the mage with the spirit dweller monster was gone, "Okay then." ”

At this time, the city of Arrant is naturally very lively, because it is a large-scale competition, many art performance troupes from Godiruaya come here to sing and dance, and perform various programs to welcome guests from afar, and there are also some famous orchestras, dance troupes, magic troupes, and circuses invited by the Arrant government to perform here. In the square, along the streets, there are a variety of entertainment games for travelers to play, and there are also live alchemy performances by residents of the city of Alante.

Alice was so happy to see this that she had forgotten about it, and ran here to see it for a while, and then ran over there to play games, and forgot about the heresy that she was going to the tavern to inquire about the news. Bing Zhixiao had no choice, so he could only accompany her to look around.

On the other side, Caesar was playing a game in the flower garden with his young and beautiful little maids, when his butler Wadland came: "Sir, here is Scoler." ”

Caesar gasped for breath and asked the maids to help him up, "Let him wait for me in the gallery." ”

"Yes. "Wadeland went right away.

With the help of the maid, he changed into a more formal set of clothes and came to the painting hall of his mansion, and in the empty and silent hall, a man with a white beard dressed in a bright kingdom uniform was admiring the art treasures in this hall through the sunlight shining down from the glass windows of the dome. In fact, although this hall is called an art hall, some of it is more than just paintings.

Caesar dismissed the servant, let the butler Wadeland out, and closed the door.

Scoler turned around, "Lord Caesar, I heard that you arrived only last night, and I'll be here right today." ”

"Ho-ho, is there anything about this alchemy competition?" asked Caesar.

"Yes, King Bixia attaches great importance to this alchemy competition. At present, the Demon Moon Empire is at war with Santa Vicia, my country and the Demon Moon are friendly countries, and I want to use this competition to choose more talents to help the Demon Moon Empire, bixia asked me to ask you if you still need anything, just bring it up. ”

Caesar smiled: "You go back to Bixia, everything is fine here, and I don't need anything." ”

"That's good. Skole nodded, and suddenly said: "Lord Throne, Tima and other subordinates of 'Martiriel' have already transported the rare materials collected in the first half of this year, and I have sealed the 'Ekmeister' under my command as usual and refined it into finished equipment, and then transferred it to the organization for internal use." This time, though, Tima didn't get the Tears of God. ”,

"I know. Caesar said, "It's understandable that something so big has happened in Burning Sun City, and she can't get the 'Tears of God'. I also know that you and Tima are not very happy to work together, but she is very close to Little Red Riding Hood now, don't blame her for such a trivial matter, it will cause you to get yourself in trouble. ”

"I see, sir. Scoller said, "I just heard from your Vedlan that Alice, the princess of the Demon Moon Empire, and the previously wanted mage Ice Evil have come to you?"

"That's right. ”

"Didn't the organization keep an eye on this man?" and he killed Kuranstone. ”

Caesar said: "The organization is paying attention to this person, but the water in this is too deep, and it is not the situation you imagined. ”

"What does that mean?" asked Scholer.

Caesar said, "You didn't attend this meeting, I don't know. Because I am the zodiac directly appointed by the divine seat, the throne slightly revealed a little bit of the meaning of the divine throne to me, in short, the current ice childish evil person is a little useful, this does not belong to our Aquarius Palace, let's not worry about this. ”

Scholer asked, "Then what should we do? What should we do with him?"

"Don't do it. Caesar said, "When he comes to me, I will receive him with courtesy, and when he wants to leave, I will send him away." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Caesar said, "There are things you don't know, and I can't tell you." But one thing should be clear to you, we are the only house of the zodiac that is independent of the battle for the four thrones, and we cannot get caught up in their vortex on our own. ”

Skole looked at Caesar for a long time: "Oh, I see, sir, are you saying that this man is the god who uses him to deal with ......"

"What is in the heart of Lord Kamiza, how can you and I know. But there are some things that you understand, and you have to pretend you don't understand, you know?" said Caesar.

Skoller bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency has taught you so. ”

Caesar stepped forward, patted his arm with a smile and said, "Your son is doing a good job in the organization, you should also teach me to you, teach him more." When the Four Kings lose power, I will recommend him to Lord Kamiza, and he may be more useful than your father in the future. ”

"Thank you, sir. Skohler was delighted.

Caesar looked at the famous paintings in his collection around him and said, "I heard that the prince has recently become obsessed with Solophie's paintings, I have a few here, you can take a look at them, and choose one for him." ”

(Choose a picture of the town style for everyone to see, but there is a car in the painting, this is a bit of a problem, but you don't mind too much, just a picture, let everyone appreciate the customs of the other place.) ）
