my age of magic

Chapter 1592 141. Where did they go
雾霭
The sun shone through the clouds in the densely foggy Qiyan City, and a colorful rainbow spanned the sky above the cloud-like city.

There are no clouds above the sky. Standing on the deck in front of the airship, we can see the dense tropical rainforest beyond the horizon. This was once the edge of the wild swamp, and the Grimm Empire has continuously invaded this area for hundreds of years. The land has now successfully opened up a strange rock city in the depths of this jungle. The prosperity of this city is because it absorbs nutrients from the wild swamp day and night.

There are many adventure groups in Qiyan City, because there are a large number of monsters bred in the wild swamp, and there are countless precious magic herbs. Even those lizard tribes are also the hunting targets of the adventure groups. The people of Qiyan admit that it is in this swamp and rainforest The endless wealth stored in it will create this strange rock city.

On the magic airship, Captain Ursula was controlling the steering wheel in the cab, and kept giving instructions to the first officer and the second officer. After two days of flying in the strong wind belt above the rainforest, the magic airship finally came to the sky above Strange Rock City. Seen from the sky, Qiyan City looks like an isolated island in a sea of ​​green. The thin and tall buildings rising from the sky are the watchtowers at the four corners of Qiyan City. This city is hidden in the greenery. If you are not familiar with the jungle caravan Or the thunder rhinoceros caravan, it is easy to pass by this city without knowing it.

"Wow, this is Qiyan City!" Standing under the high platform of the giant dragon hunting crossbow at the bow, Yingli said to me excitedly: "Jijia, we have arrived."

Su wore a priest's robe, squeezed beside Ying Li, held Ying Li's arm, looked around, and asked curiously: "Where is Qiyan Harbor? Didn't you say there is a harbor near Qiyan City?"

Annie, who was wearing the 'Magic Serpent's Tooth' tight leather armor, pointed to a tree-lined road outside the city wall in the south, and introduced to everyone: "From here, go straight along the forest road extending straight to the southeast. For the magic caravan, it only takes one and a half days to reach the southernmost seaport of the Grimm Empire."

Ever since there was a not-so-big conflict at the ball that night, the passengers on board knew that we were the distinguished guests of this airship, and no one came up to take advantage of us. avoid.

After the airship arrived at Qiyan City, a group of us put on magic robes and magic patterns and walked out of the cabin. The passengers on the ship knew that we were an adventure group composed of a group of constructed knights and magicians. Most of them were young girls, and the passengers looked at Captain Ursula standing on the top floor of the ship building with a kind of respect in their eyes.

At this time, I am afraid that everyone will understand that Captain Ursula's thunderous suppression of the group of bald men is also protecting them at another level, because in the Grimm Empire, no one wants to be an enemy of magicians, but we There were two magicians in this team, and even a white-robed priest.

Our group was the first to step off the magic airship. The airport terminal of Qiyan City is in the northern part of the city. The airport terminal is actually seven giant trees with a height of [-] meters. This kind of tree is called "cloud top tree" by the locals, surrounded by craftsmen. A spiral staircase was built on the trunk of the giant tree, and there were soft ladders between the seven giant trees. Platforms were artificially built on the crown of the giant trees, and the airship was docked next to these platforms.

The staff standing at the airport pier on the platform, after waiting for the magic airship to stop, began to organize manpower to open the warehouse at the bottom of the airship, move out the goods inside, and a special clerk boarded the ship to confirm with Captain Ursula The specific information of this magical airship.

In Qiyan City, lizardmen seem to be very common. There are lizardmen carrying bags everywhere on the airport pier. When they walk, they keep swinging their arms to the left and right, but they are very powerful, carrying heavy loads on their shoulders. The wooden boards on the airport pier creaked with their big feet, and the people here seem to have gotten used to the existence of the lizardmen. Only the passengers on the magic airship will show surprised eyes when they see this group of lizardmen. .

No one stopped us. After we walked down the giant tree, we found many magic caravans parked outside the airport. Those coachmen were much more diligent than the coachmen in the imperial capital. They would take the initiative to help guests carry large luggage, and they would Recommend the city's special fruits to travelers. As for those small fruit vendors who walk through the crowd with baskets of various fruits on their heads, they will quickly approach when they hear the call of those coachmen.

There is a lot of traffic at the gate of the airport. Annie lived in Qiyan City for several years, so she walked in front and rented a magic caravan for us. The magic caravan here is also very special. There are no doors or windows in the car. Tied with colorful ribbons, it is very eye-catching when running on the street.

We took the magic caravan to stay at the largest hotel in Qiyan City. At first, we thought that there were many magic caravans in this city. After the magic caravan left the airport terminal, I realized that all the magic caravans in this city seemed to be gathered near the airport terminal. Yes, there are not too many magic caravans on the city streets, and the biggest feature of the streets here is that they are separated by tree walls. Apart from being able to see the front, it is difficult for us to see the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going.

In this way, I have a wonderful feeling that even if I am in the city, I seem to be integrated into this forest.

"The largest hotel in Qiyan City is called 'Hollion', which is just next to the Civic Center Square. Few locals in this city are engaged in production work, and there are no workshops here. The blacksmith shop here is very skilled in repairing weapons, but making The level of weapons is poor, and almost all the locals in Qiyan are engaged in some service industries, and many adventure groups from all over the country are willing to come here to pan for gold." Annie sat across from Yingli and me, and introduced this new city to us .

The magic caravan slowed down at the intersection of the street, and there happened to be a group of strong men wearing leather armor, carrying shields and fishing nets, with long swords and hunting clips on their waists, hurrying across the street. .

"Aren't those people all soldiers from a certain adventure group?" Su leaned his head out of the window and asked Annie, pointing at the group of people.

"Almost!" Anne smiled lightly, and said to us: "Those people should be slave catchers. The occupations of the members of the adventure group are more mixed. Rangers, warriors, swordsmen and archers are clearly assigned. Weapons are more specialized, unlike this group of slave catchers, who know a little about everything, but they can’t do anything very well. Most of the time, they need to set traps to make up for their shortcomings.”

"The orc tribe has a profession called a hunter, which probably means that." I interjected.

The magic caravan pulled us to the "Holyne" Hotel in the Civic Center Square. Katerina gave the coachman a silver coin, and the coachman happily drove the magic caravan back to the airport pier, and we walked directly into this three-star hotel. The hotel is composed of rows of lofts. As soon as I entered the lobby of the hotel, I saw a group of maids walking down the stairs with various salutes. The leader in charge led them through the hall and came to the back door. He ordered: "Put all these luggage in warehouse No. [-]."

"Mr. Van Gen, Warehouse No. [-] is already full of luggage discarded by guests. See if we can pick out some worthless luggage from six months ago and discard some. Now there are more and more guests who have abandoned their luggage. No matter how many warehouses you have, it's not enough!" The receptionist chased the steward and said beside him.

"Why are there so many luggage? Has no one come to claim them all the time?" The steward stood at the back door, rubbed his temples vigorously, and said distressedly.

The receptionist quickly shook her head and said: "No, adventurers like to store their luggage with us, and they used to return almost within the rental period, but recently, the number of guests who do not abide by the contract has increased a lot. It's as if I've given up on the luggage that exists here."

"How can the luggage of the guests be discarded casually? In this way, I will apply to the boss for a warehouse, and then we will store these luggage in a large warehouse by category. The warehouse on the hotel side is still mainly used to store daily items." The lady at the front desk ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Van Gen." The front desk lady agreed and ran back to the front desk again.

At this time, Anne has helped us choose three rooms. The hotel provides free breakfast. If you want to have dinner at the hotel, you need to make a reservation at the front desk in advance. There are several restaurants around the hotel. If you don’t want to eat in the hotel, you can eat outside It is also very convenient.

I stood next to the front desk and looked at the hotel. It turned out that most of the people who came in and out of the hotel lobby were young adventurers. They came to Qiyan City from all over with dreams, and they all wanted to explore the unknown world.

Standing at the front desk, I asked the lady at the front desk: "Are there any guests named Morayal and Heidi here? Oh, they are all young ladies, oh, young female magicians, they are ours." Companion, we have an appointment to meet in Qiyan City."

"Please wait a moment, let me check...Miss Heidi and Miss Moraya are indeed staying with us, but they haven't come back since they left two weeks ago." The front desk lady rummaged through the check-in records and said to me .

"Did they leave any messages or notes?" I didn't expect Morayal and Mentor Heidi to choose to leave the city at this time, so I asked the receptionist after thinking about it.

The front desk lady and her companion looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time to say no.

"Uh, that's it! Well, thank you." I said to the receptionist, and gave them two silver coins, and told them: "If you think of anything, remember to tell me, even if it's about where they went, Or go out on an adventure with someone...it doesn't matter."

The two front desk ladies nodded like chickens pecking rice.

A waiter took us upstairs with a bunch of keys. I took the opportunity to ask which room Morayal and Heidi lived in. The waiter refused to say at first, but after I gave him five silver coins , the waiter quickly said a series of numbers.

The waiter took us to the room, opened the door and handed us the room key before leaving.

"Isn't Teacher Heidi in Qiyan City?" Ying Li asked beside me.

"They're probably out looking for clues to that altar, maybe to deal with other things." I said to her.

The original plan was that after we arrived at Qiyan City, we would rest in Qiyan City for two days. After finding the guide, we would enter the wild swamp to find the ancient altar deep in the swamp. Waiting for us, the two of them ran into the jungle, such a big jungle, and I don't know where they went.

"Then what shall we do, wait for them here?" Ying Li asked me.

I thought about it, and then said: "Stay here first, and I will go to a senior guide tomorrow. I think that even if Mentor Heidi and Moraya leave temporarily, they will leave a message for us. If there is no news, it should be What's up temporarily."

I glanced at Katerina, and Katarina gave me a slight nod, and I knew she understood what I meant.

I took the magic airship for seven consecutive days. After traveling all the way, I was exhausted when I arrived at Qiyan City. We stayed in the hotel. After taking a hot bath, we slept in the hotel in the afternoon. When I woke up again, it was already Hongxia In the sky, Katerina was lying on the side sleeping soundly like a lazy cat, her long red hair spread out on the pillow, I crept up from the bed, and she woke up immediately.

"Have you been to their room?" I asked Katerina, wearing boxer shorts, drawing the curtains in front of the balcony.

"Yeah." Katerina was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her long red hair.

"What did you find?"

Katerina said to me: "There is nothing, it seems that they left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to tidy up the clothes in their room."

"So, I just went out for a temporary business? But I have been out for two weeks..." I thought about it, and said, "Ya said before that she would help me collect information about the altar and find a way to find it. A detailed map to find the safest way, if not necessary, they will never stop waiting for me in Qiyan City."

"Then what should we do?" Katerina quickly put the Yalong light leather armor on her body, and tied two daggers to her thighs.

"I'm going to find Kalancuo. The orcs have the most unique tracking method. If it hasn't rained in the past two weeks, then you and Kalanco will follow this clue. I will do some research in Qiyan City..."

finished.I opened the portal and walked into Xinliu Valley. Kalancuo, Justus, and Tauren Luka were all waiting inside the teleportation altar.

Seeing me walk in, Justus stood up excitedly and asked me, "You guys arrived at Strange Rock City so soon?"

I walked up to Kalantso and said to her: "Well, Moraya and Heidi are missing, and now I need you to help me find clues about them..."
