my age of magic

Chapter 1601 150. The Truth
The outermost stone houses with no doors and windows but with fences installed are the places where the lizard slaves live and belong to the outer courtyard of the house.

When passing by the stone house, there was a faint smell of excrement and urine. Some skinny little hands were holding onto the rusty iron fence, with their yellow and slender faces sticking to it, looking out timidly and curiously.

The most eye-catching place in the outer courtyard is the extremely solid loess ground. Even in the rainy winter, there is no water in the courtyard.

A burly middle-aged man walked out of the gate of the inner courtyard wearing an exquisite magic-weave spider silk robe. His body was covered with gold ornaments of yellow and orange. His skin was a kind of brownish red. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was piercing and energetic, and the outline of his face appeared very three-dimensional. Behind him was a group of lizard warriors and a pair of constructed warriors, creating a grand scene.

The lizard slave girl quickly walked ahead to lead the way, and when she was standing at the gate of the inner courtyard, she whispered a few words to the middle-aged man in fine clothes.

"I am Abraham. Are you...?"

The middle-aged man walked up to me, looked at me warily, and asked.

I took a step forward and said to Abraham: "Jijia, from the imperial capital, Jonah Adams told me that you can find experienced guides here, so I take the liberty to come to visit today."

Abraham's expression softened when he heard that Jonah Adams had introduced him.

Then Abraham invited us to his inner house. Although he kept a smile on his face, I felt a kind of arrogance and guard on his body. Always ready to act.

Through a high-wall corridor more than 60 meters long, you walk into a tropical garden, which is very different from the outer courtyard.

White granite stones build a huge fountain in the garden. The sculpture in the center of the fountain is the scene of the Grimm Empire army hunting lizardmen in the wild swamp. The fountain and the swimming pools on both sides seem to be connected as one. More than a dozen female relatives are lying in the pool Under the umbrella next to it, some lizard female slaves were serving.

Various plants are planted in the garden. An unknown umbrella plant is planted in a giant flower pot taller than a person, which almost completely blocks the sunlight by the swimming pool. A beautiful building is hidden next to the pool. The building on the second floor The balcony hangs above the pool, and the design of this garden can be described as extremely luxurious.

I didn't expect that just a slave trader in Qiyan City would have such a gorgeous courtyard.

We were sitting on a wicker chair under a tree umbrella, and two handsome maids brought all kinds of fresh fruit plates and fine wines. Abraham sat on a wicker chair, staring at my face all the time, and said to me: "Mage Jijia, Jonah Adams and I have been friends for many years, and his friends are naturally my friends. When you come to Strange Rock City, just ask me if you need me."

Abraham waved his hand, signaling the surrounding maids to step back, but behind him stood two heavily armed saur-man warriors, but they didn't move a step.

"But... you said you wanted to find an experienced jungle guide, so are you planning to go to the wild swamp?" He changed his subject and asked me.

The tone and attitude of his speech, it seems that the nobles and magicians of the Green Empire are not interested, or in a border city like Qiyan City, identity is not important, what is important is one's own strength.

I nodded and just said, "Exactly."

He took out a mango from the fruit plate, savagely tore some of the peel off, gnawed on it, and made a rude 'sucking, sucking' sound.

He said while eating: "With all due respect, a battle for the throne broke out in the wild swamp a year ago, and the flames of war have now spread to the border of Qiyan City. Now almost no adventure group is willing to go to the swamp. I know many excellent guides, but At this time, if you want to invite them to the swamp rainforest in the south, you may have to pay a high commission."

The maid wiped Abraham's face with a towel, and Abraham suddenly handed me a mango. His eyes were full of aggression, and there was a sneer on his face. He asked me rudely, "Do you want to eat it?"

I frowned slightly, staring into his dark eyes.

A jet-black dagger pierced the mango with lightning speed.

Abraham withdrew his hands in fright, and panic flashed in his eyes.

Katerina put the mango-studded dagger in front of her, and the lizard warriors behind Abraham pulled out their scimitars and stared at Katerina as if facing a formidable enemy.

Abraham picked up a wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp to calm himself down.

"...If you just want to stroll around the outskirts of Qiyan City, in my opinion, there is no need to hire a jungle guide. Now the city is full of a group of unemployed young people. I believe that your first feeling when you come to Qiyan City should be : The guides here are so enthusiastic! Although they don’t have much experience in living in swamps and jungles, they are very familiar with the surroundings of Qiyan City.” After he finished speaking, he showed a smile.

Then Abraham put away the smile on his face and said solemnly: "No adventure group dares to go to the wild swamp at this time. If it is not necessary, I think you'd better give up the idea of ​​dying."

Perhaps it was because he had been a slave owner for too long, and he had become a little nervous. After Katerina woke him up with a dagger, he became normal again.

I said to Abraham: "Actually, I plan to go deep into the wild swamp to find an altar. As for the issue of commission, if we can reach a cooperation agreement, let's sit down and have a good discussion."

Hearing what I said, Abraham nodded, rubbed his forehead and said:
"That's good. Some of my friends live in the swamp rainforest all year round. They are quite familiar with the lizard tribes there. I will help you find the best guide..."

At this moment, the lizard slave woman who was guarding the outer courtyard appeared beside Abraham again, bent down and leaned into Abraham's ear, and said to him, "Lord Angus is here."

Before her words fell, she heard exaggerated and playful laughter from the garden, and saw a young nobleman wearing elf-style hollowed-out leather armor strode into the courtyard. A blond beauty lying on a wicker chair jumped towards her, causing the blond beauty to fall into the swimming pool with a scream, and then she threw herself onto another wicker chair, and the lizard slaves on both sides wanted to stop her. , but was stopped by the guard behind the young nobleman with a long sword.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of chaos by the swimming pool, and the beauties in Abraham's inner house jumped into the swimming pool to take refuge.

The young aristocrat's skills are also considered flexible. He ran a few steps by the pool, and threw the blond beauty who was lying in the innermost place and had no time to escape on the wicker chair. He grabbed his hair and pressed it down hard.

"Mage Jijia, sit here now, I'll deal with it..."

At this time, Abraham took the lizard warriors around him, walked quickly to the pool, and shouted loudly at the young nobleman: "Angus, that's enough, don't mess around with me."

The young nobleman was lying on a wicker chair, with a blond beauty in cool clothes in his arms, looking up at Abraham without any scruples, with a hippie smile like a ruffian.

The noble young man named Angus said meanly: "Yo Yo Yo... Does Uncle Abe feel sorry for these beauties?"

Abraham glared at Angus, but he didn't let the lizard warrior behind him come forward. Instead, he pulled the blond beauty away with his own hands, and asked angrily, "Angus, why don't you enjoy life in your own palace?" , what are you doing here?”

Angus smiled without sincerity: "Look at what you said, can't I come to visit Uncle Abel if I have nothing to do?"

"You won't." Abraham said firmly.

There are three swimming pools between the place where they talked and my place. The straight-line distance is about [-] meters away, and there are two rows of thick palm trees and umbrella trees in the middle. They can only be seen vaguely. Ordinary people sit here Can't hear what they're talking about.

But I am different. My five senses are several times more sensitive than ordinary people. In addition, I can also manipulate the magic perception to probe outwards, so their quarrels clearly penetrated into my ears. When I heard this, I felt that this was from within the Abraham family. It's a shame, every family can't guarantee that there will be such a dude, so I don't plan to continue listening.

But what the young nobleman said next left me dumbfounded:

"Sure enough, Uncle Abe understands me. The members of the nightingale team in the family were with a group of fat sheep yesterday. They must have been accidentally discovered by the group of fat sheep. Two nightingales were killed, and Uttas then They sent an assassination team to infiltrate the hotel where the Fat Sheep lived, but for some reason, the entire assassination team mysteriously disappeared in the Hollyon Hotel. According to the people who went to the hotel to investigate today, they didn’t hear anything at all last night. Any movement."

When Angus lay on the rattan chair and said these things, he tried to lower his voice as much as possible. After all, this is not a glorious thing.

But I'm listening...how do you feel that the fat sheep that Angus is talking about are us?
Abraham frowned and asked in a deep voice: "So you have met a second-rank strong man?"

Angus said nonchalantly: "Youtas said the same thing, but the strong people in the family have left Qiyan City for the time being to deal with things outside. There is no manpower left in Qiyan City. Utas asked me to come You come here and borrow a team of lizard warriors. It is best that the strength of this team of lizard warriors is infinitely close to that of the second-rank strong, otherwise it will really lose a few fighters. Even if we compensate Uncle Abel later, you still need to retrain, right? "

As he spoke, he sat up from the rattan chair, but looked at the lizard warrior behind Abraham.

"Why did you guys make it so big? I advise you to stop earlier." Abraham did not give Angus a positive answer, but advised him to stop.

Angus waved his hand impatiently, "Uncle Abel, I didn't come here to listen to your nagging, well, anyway, my words have been delivered, how to do it, you can talk to Uttas, I still Go home, lest you get annoyed when you see me..."

He pinched his waist and stood up from the rattan chair, and the servant behind him hurriedly followed up and held up an umbrella for him.

"Angus!" Abraham shouted in a deep voice, his tone full of warning.

In exchange for Abraham's admonition, Angus became more impatient: "I know, we will pay attention, and we won't leave any clues..."

Abraham couldn't help asking: "What is it that sent all the elite fighters of your family out?"

Angus saw that Abraham stopped nagging, but suddenly asked about this matter, and said with a little joy: "I am also a little puzzled about this matter. You know the Seychelles Adventure Group!"

In his mind, maybe it was just fun.

Abraham scolded: "Nonsense, Seychelles can at least rank in the top ten adventure groups in Qiyan City. I have contacted their leaders. Ten second-rank strongmen with good strength. You don't want to beat them. Idea?"

Then he looked at Angus worriedly.

Speaking of this, Angus was even more proud, waved away the slaves and maids around him, and said to Abraham: "Hehe, you really underestimated our brothers, and now the Seychelles Adventure Group has long existed in name only, Uttas Before the Harvest Festival, all the members of the Seychelles Adventure Map have been personally disposed of. Unfortunately, for some reason, a magician in their adventure group left the group last year. I did not expect that magician to return last month. Strange Rock City is here, looking for Seychelles everywhere in the city, and even alarmed the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union."

The veins on Abraham's forehead were bulging.

It's just that Angus didn't notice the change in Abraham's expression, and said to himself: "Uttas intends to get rid of this annoying magician, but he didn't expect that this magician was accompanied by a powerful man." A strong companion, she has also learned some natural magic similar to that of a druid, she is very slippery, and our people have been chasing and killing them in the jungle for nearly half a month."

There were a lot of misty things in my heart, which suddenly became clear in front of my eyes. It turned out that they were chasing and killing Moraya. Hearing what he said, it seemed that Moraya and Mentor Heidi were still in the wild swamp.

I held back the anger in my heart, and continued to listen to Angus say, "If it wasn't for this, we wouldn't have gone to Uncle Abel to borrow lizard men to fight slaves."

Abraham also sighed softly at this time, and said to Angus: "But my lizard warrior slaves are just a group of gladiators. They look brave in the arena, but they are not good at fighting in the jungle."

Angolas obviously didn't believe Abraham's words. He said bluntly: "I don't like to hear your words. Lizard warrior slaves are not good at fighting in the jungle? Just kidding, they were born from the moment they were born." Are jungle combat experts good at it?"

Hearing what Angus said, Abraham was also a little speechless, so he could only say to him: "I will go to discuss this matter with Utah in person. I still have guests here, so I won't entertain you."

Angus and his party left the house resentfully, and I couldn't help squinting my eyes when I saw Abraham walking around from the pool...
