my age of magic

Chapter 1596 145. This Night
It was a sweltering night without a breath of wind.

Moss grew between the stone crevices of the wall. When I reached out to touch the stone wall beside me, even the surrounding walls were warm, and the sultry heat made me breathless.

Yingli Zhunu and I didn't stay in the alley. A group of people went straight across the alley and came to the opposite street.

Murder in a narrow alley can of course be avoided by Ying Li and the others, so try to avoid it as much as possible.I let Katerina, Justus and the tauren Luka stay behind to deal with the two pursuers, and it didn't take long for the three of them to catch up from behind. Justus walked side by side with me, and he was puzzled Ask: "Don't you want to ask who ordered them to follow you?"

"It doesn't matter who it is," I said to Justus.

Justus paused in his footsteps.

I turned around and said to him, "I just want to give them a warning. This is also a warning to other people who are spying on us. Let them think about it seriously, so as not to treat us as ordinary sheep."

A magic caravan galloped by, bringing a cool breeze.

Ying Li and Su walked in the front, and there was a set of pure white one-piece leather skirts in the shop window in front. The cut of the leather skirts was very unique, but the craftsman added some hollow designs to the leather skirts in order to pursue styles. , making this leather skirt lose the possibility of becoming a magic pattern leather armor, Su stood outside the window and looked eager to try it, it seemed that he wanted to go in and try it.

"You mean, even we are the prey of these people?" Justus pressed after me.

Looking at the bustling market in front of you, people are coming and going on the street, the streets of Qiyan City look even more noisy than the water street in Haiyinsi City.I said to Justus: "Look, there are so many shops on these streets. The streets here are clean and tidy. There are a lot of adventurers in this city. It is the trading houses in these cities that make Strange Rock City With such a bustling night scene."

Justus and the tauren Luka followed the direction of my finger and looked towards the shops with a wide range of goods in the window.

"...But you may have forgotten that the merchants in this city have not traded with the Aetia Union Kingdom for at least a year. It has become more dangerous for the adventure group to enter the Wild Swamp. Even if there are some There are not too many adventure groups, we can see from the guides who are all over the street looking for work, not many adventure groups are willing to take risks in the wild swamp at this time." I said.

At this moment, I seem to understand the feelings of the guides I met on the street during the day. Ordinary guides can’t find work in the city, and it’s hard to make ends meet, so they desperately look for work everywhere.And those experienced guides are well aware of the dangers that exist in the wild swamp, and they are not willing to accept such dangerous tasks.

Justus seemed to understand me.

The tauren Luka, on the other hand, had a naive look, with a confused expression on his face.

I said to Justus and Luka the tauren: "Then what do you think... that makes this border city... a year after the war between the Saurian tribe... it is still so prosperous... ?”

"Shouldn't it be like the town of Trume, where adventurers came and brought a lot of wealth to the town?" Justus had a different view on this, and he retorted: " This city gathers a large number of adventurers, and their clothing, food, housing, and transportation are consumed here every day, aren't these bringing new benefits to the city?"

The tauren shook his head, which was about to explode, and followed him silently.

"It is undeniable that part of the wealth of the small town of Trum comes from those adventurers, but most of it is bestowed by the black forest, where the aborigines brought various resources in the forest to the town. , will bring a lot of wealth to the town of Trume." I asked Justus: "The wealth of Strange Rock City comes from the dangerous wild swamp, but there are not many adventure groups willing to take risks now. Now, why do you think this city is still so prosperous?"

"That's why you disposed of those two trackers?" Justus gave me a deep look.

"Isn't that reason enough?" I stood there and said to Justus.

Justus shrugged his shoulders, put one hand on the broad shoulder of Luka the tauren, and walked straight past me.

He understood what I meant, and our conversation stopped.

The tauren Luka asked Justus in a low voice, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Justus and Luka walked forward shoulder to shoulder, and said as they walked, "He told me just now that he smelled blood in this city."

"Ah! That's it?" Luka said in a daze.

"That's it!" Justus grinned, showing his sharp teeth, and strode forward with Luka.

After disposing of the two pursuers who were following us, the sense of danger disappeared completely. My magical perception extended to all directions, and I didn't find anyone else.

Seeing Yingli and Su walking in front arm in arm, Annie walked behind them with a worried expression on her face. She probably also felt that Qiyan City was in danger. It seemed that she was a little hesitant, maybe a little regretful that she agreed so easily. Su, and brought her to Strange Rock City, but the current Strange Rock City seems to be showing its superficial glitz, but in those dark corners of the city, the danger is like a jungle beast squatting there and devouring people...

"Are you worried about Su's safety?" I walked to Annie's side and said to her.

"No..." After Annie finished speaking, she lowered her head with a guilty conscience, staring at her shoes and walking forward step by step.

I looked at Annie's side face, and I saw Sister Guoguo in front of my eyes. I blinked, and Annie's outline became clear. I said to Annie: "She is far stronger than the one in your eyes, and You and she have a reason to go on an expedition to the Wild Swamp..."

Annie looked at me suspiciously.

"...Do you want to know why I am the adopted son of Leant and Fanny?" I wanted to tell Annie the story of Sister Guoguo, but hesitated for a while, and didn't know where to start.

Anne was waiting for me to continue, when she heard Helena shouting sweetly from the front window of a shop: "Giga, come quickly..."

Apologetically, I opened my hand to Annie and promised, "Come on!" The communication with Annie ended in a hurry.

Helena held my arm affectionately, she smiled like a sweet sunflower, and said to me with smiling eyes: "You want to help us refer, how about this leather armor?"

"fine……"

After I finished speaking, I couldn't help but look back at Annie behind me.

The night of Qiyan City is much more lively than the daytime. Under the neon lights, groups of young people can always be seen wandering on the street, and some small vendors who can’t be seen during the day don’t know where to come from. When I ran out, the smell of food on the street made me feel like I was not in those high-end restaurants, but hidden in front of the food stalls in the streets and alleys.

We are a group of people walking on the street, whether it is Helena who is the team's face value, Sue who is as fresh as a small white flower, or sexy and sexy as Becky, Anne and Katerina have their own differences, our group It's hard not to be the focus of those young people's eyes.During this period of time, Ying Li's appearance has also been subtly changing. The shadow of Princess Ariel can be seen on her body, and that flawless face is constantly reappearing on her face. Not used to being peeped by many people, a faint rouge appeared on his face.

Some young people will boldly come over and ask if we need a guide. When Annie asked them if they would like to go to the wild swamp, the faces of those young guides immediately changed, and they said to us with a smile, "Don't be kidding, you guys. With so many ladies in the adventure group, the most they can do is to go around the rainforest in the north of Qiyan City. Who would take an adventure in the wild swamp at this time... Oh, that can no longer be called an adventure, it should be said to be a death.Please give up this idea of ​​sending yourself to death!The world is so beautiful, is it not good to live? '

It's as if our offer to go to the Wild Swamp is a decent way of saying no to these guides.

……

Back at the Hollyon Hotel, I met a group of young guides at the hotel entrance. Before they could come around and ask questions, the tauren warrior, who was as strong as an ogre, came to the front, opened the hotel door, and forcefully opened the hotel door. His eyes prevented the guides from approaching.

Luka and Justus opened a room in the Hollyon Hotel. For tall and tall Tauren fighters, Hollyn Hotel has a special room for them. This kind of room is on the first floor of the hotel. The night shift manager led the way tremblingly, kept looking back at the tauren warrior behind him, and said to the tauren: "If you think the quilt is not long enough, we can provide you with a longer blanket..."

"It's okay, if your bed here is not that big, I can sleep on the floor!" the tauren Luka said gently, he never wanted to cause trouble for others.

I settled Justus and Luka the tauren, then took Katerina upstairs together.

When I walked to the third floor of the hotel, I found that Yingli girls were actually sitting on the bench in front of the balcony enjoying the night view of Qiyan City. Senior sister Erika also participated in it. She was wearing a tight vest that looked a little different and In bloomers, wearing a pair of soft shoes, with a cup of lemon tea in front of him, he looks like he just woke up, and his hair looks wet. When he saw Katerina and me walking upstairs, he asked me: "Find your two Do you have any friends?"

I squeezed between Yingli and Helena, sat down on the bench, and said to Senior Erika: "Not yet... But I have already issued a task on the Thieves Union, I believe there will be theirs soon news."

Regarding this wild swamp, I hope Senior Sister Erica can know more about the formulas of antidotes.

Senior sister Erica said to us at this time: "Just now I heard from the passengers in the hotel that recently, adventure groups in Qiyan City have mysteriously disappeared one after another. Even the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Qiyan City have already intervened in this matter."

Helena's warm body was half leaning on my arms, and she said to me with some concern: "The adventure group disappeared... Could it be because the wild swamp is too dangerous, and all the adventure groups going there are in danger? "

Becky sat on the other side of Helena, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's the lizard tribe in the wild swamp that blocked the swamp jungle."

"Can you still laugh?" Helena asked Becky with wide-eyed eyes.

Becky hugged Helena's neck, and said with a smile, "What's the matter! We've never been afraid of the Nebulu spiders in the black forest of Hierro plane, why should we be afraid of the natives in the wild swamp?"

Su looked at Becky enviously, as if he was very envious of her being able to fight the Nebulu spider in the Hierro plane.

Before the oracle of the Statue of Liberty came down from the temple, in the war of the Grimm Empire, the army would be accompanied by battle priests and priests. The battle priests could bless the knights with holy beliefs, and the priests would display powerful auras on the battlefield. Because of these clergymen, the combat power of the Green Empire's legion is at least twice as strong as it is now, so whether there are priests in the team makes a big difference for a battle.

Su doesn't belong to the priests in the temple system, but her body possesses divine power. Under the teaching of Sola University scholars, she can perform prayer-based healing techniques. She is a very special kind of existence, and her body contains two A completely different power, I have always had an intuition that her dark body is far more powerful than the holy chakra, so her importance is self-evident to our adventure group, but she is currently I still know my strength too well.

Annie probably didn't know about these things.

"Don't make random guesses. Tomorrow, we will go to the Magical Union of Qiyan City to understand the situation, and we will talk about it later." After finishing speaking, I stood up and prepared to go back to my room to sleep.

Katerina naturally went back to the room with me, and when I walked to the door of the room, I found that Yingli was also standing at the door of my room, followed by Helena and Becky, and only Sue and Annie were left on the balcony. and Erika-senpai.

"Hey, do you have anything to say to me?" I asked Yingli with a smile.

"No...good night, Jijia." She blushed slightly and replied.

I strode up to her. In fact, she lived next door to me, and our room door was only a few steps away. I held her cheek and kissed her on the forehead.
"Oh, good night, my princess."

Her face was flushed red at the moment.

When I turned around and walked back, she reached out and grabbed my magic robe, and hugged me from behind...

After all, this is the corridor of the hotel. She pulled me into the hotel room, hugged me tightly, and said with some distress: "What do you think we are? We have been married for so long!"

I held her hands, and the rationality in my heart was slowly melted by Yingli's enthusiasm, "So you are going to...? What about the promise we made to Manda?"

Ying Li was a little annoyed but said stubbornly: "Of course I will stick to our oath, but it hasn't been that long..."
