my age of magic

Chapter 202 2. Giving up is a sin
Sloit City is the largest city in the north of the Grimm Empire. On the territory of the Grimm Empire, there are no more than ten such big cities, and Sloit happens to be the northernmost one. It is located between the Benma River and At the junction of the sea, the rushing and turbulent Benma River flows from north to south, rushing down from the snow mountain all the way, until it turns to the north of Sluit City and flows east into the sea.In the south of Sloit City, the meandering Baixiang River flows slowly into the sea from south to north.

Summer in Sloitt is short, so people cherish it.Because in summer, men from many families will organize together, board the big boat, and sail down the Baixiang River into the sea to fish. When every cabin is filled with salted fish, it is time to return.Some people say that summer is the harvest season in Sloitt City, which is actually quite reasonable.

The council hall of Sloit City is built just to the north of the central square of the city. It is a magnificent marble building.This marble building is 30 meters high, and its overall shape is like a crescent moon across the north side of the city square.There are five statues standing on the stone steps in front of the hall. They are the greatest magicians in human history. Counting from left to right, they are Xiatun Aili, Qiu Guolie, Palubui, Ke Mole, Melt jade.Three of the five great magicians who promoted the progress of human magic actually represent fire magic, but each of them has created greater achievements in fire magic.Xiatun Aili, the one on the left, is an outstanding electric magician. He has always been the most respected and proud person in the Aili family, and he is also the first-generation patriarch of the Aili family.

Huaer Allie is the No.17 patriarch of the Allie family. Since he took over as the patriarch, the ships of the Allie family have at least doubled in size. Wally has changed the fate of almost all members of the Allie family. They lived a life of adequate food and clothing, but Wally turned each of them into a veritable big farmer, big businessman, and big boss.The Aili family has become one of the few richest men in the northern business world.Some people say that it takes three days and three nights to ride the fastest horse to walk across the land of Aili’s family. Not only that, Aili’s family monopolizes the shipbuilding, steel and other industries in the north. No wonder even the current king has to do everything. Give Ai Li a three-point thin noodle.

Today's Ellie family has had an unprecedented event, and all the dukes in the north follow behind the Allie family. It can be said that Wally Allie controls nearly 70.00% of the army in the North of Green, and there are only a few royal knights. , will not obey the orders of the Grand Duke Walter Ally.The Grand Duke Walter Allie can be said to be the one who overshadows the sky in Sloit City.

Last year, the smartest and most beloved little granddaughter Sha Aili was also named Princess Sha by the queen.This can be said to be the happiest thing for Hua Erli.

Now he was sitting on the big chair in the conference hall, furious, and yelled at the dusty head of the guard, Ming Hao: "How could it be possible that I didn't receive it? It's been more than half a month since Feige sent the letter, and the old man Mosra personally How come you didn’t pick up Sha, who went to the imperial capital, and how do you idiots do things?”

"No, no, really no, our war horses have already seen the beautiful blazing imperial city, but they just haven't seen Mr. Moras and Princess Sha. Please give me a few days, Lord Duke, this time I will be able to Princess Sha is found!" The head of the guard, Ming Hao, stood on the big red carpet in fear, at this moment, he was speechless for a long time.

All the elders of Sloit City sitting in this meeting hall sighed secretly. This young and promising head of the guard has always been favored by the old Duke of Ward, but this time I have to say that this young man is a little careless. Too bad, I underestimated Princess Sha's status in the heart of the old Duke of Waldorf. It was a rare opportunity to make meritorious service, but this time it might bring disaster to this young man.

"Hmph! How did you become the head of the guard?" Beads of sweat had already appeared on the forehead of the old Duke Walder, and the sapphire wand he was holding tightly in his hand was thrown to the ground.The beautiful wand fell to the marble floor of the meeting hall with a crisp sound, and rolled along the smooth marble for a long distance.

This magic wand was the most precious gift specially given to Sha Allie by Elder Wall before she went to the Royal Academy of Magic. Princess Sha must always keep it with her, but now this magic wand appeared alone at the meeting In the hall, there was no news of Princess Sha.

The sweat on Minghao's head had turned cold, and he was terrified: I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to break away from the relationship this time.The magic wand in front of him is enough to make his head fall to the ground.

Kay was sitting at the end of the conference table. Among all the people sitting at the conference table, Kay could be said to be the youngest one, and his proud face always had a disgusting look.Kai has the capital of self-confidence, because he is the youngest and best magician in Sloit City, and he has inherited all the excellent genes of the Ito family. This time, Kai felt that it was time for him to display his talents.

Kai put his hands on the table and said to the old Earl Wall: "Miss Sha may have been hijacked by bandits. As long as I bring a regiment of troops, I will be able to wipe out those bandits outside the city. Hmph! I don't believe them." Dare to touch Miss Sha."

"It was my negligence that made the banditry in the north more and more serious. Hey!" Old Huaer took a long breath, looking at the iron-wood pipe pot in his hand, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.This hand hadn't touched that sapphire wand in 20 years.The use of force is also the next strategy, even after the baby Sha is rescued, it is not too late to discuss.

Who's sure what the demented bandits will do to Baby Sha?

"However, there is Teacher Moras in Princess Sha's returning convoy. With Teacher Moras' magic, how can the convoy make mistakes? If the thieves are really capable of resisting Teacher Moras' wood-type magic, just Can a regiment really be able to deal with these thieves of unknown origin? Baron Kai." Jingyue Aili, the head of the Guard Knights, frowned. She was as cold as ice, and even when she spoke, she had a kind of The feeling of facing the cold winter.

The only thing Kai dared not offend was his fiancée-to-be who was engaged to him, and what Jingyue Aili said was not unreasonable.Kai only sighed, sat down slowly, and leaned against the comfortable mahogany chair, which made him feel extremely at ease.Then he said dejectedly: "I'm just eager to save your sister, why do you pour cold water on my head! Such a serious matter, the Intelligence Agency did not find out clearly, who is to blame?"

Jingyue Aili gave Kai Ito a hard look, and asked in a cold voice to Huo Doumu, director of the Intelligence Agency who was sitting opposite him: "Director Huo, now that the bandit army is approaching the city, don't you know it at all? "

Everyone took it for granted that this eldest lady seldom spoke in the conference hall.But the words of the eldest daughter of Aili's family carry the most weight in Duke Wall's heart.And the person Jingyue Aili asked was Huo Tumu, the Director of Intelligence who was sitting opposite her. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Huo Tumu's face, and anyone could see that there was a murderous look on her cold face.The head of the Guard Knights had always been at odds with the Director of Intelligence for a long time, and with these few words, it was clear that Jing Yue intended to trouble Huo Dumu.

If it is said that the robbers hijacked Princess Sha, then it seems that it has no direct relationship with the Intelligence Agency.But the bandits are incapable of hijacking the convoy escorted by Mothra, so there is no force on the snowy ice field that can quietly hijack Sha, but now things are just the opposite. Princess Sha's convoy disappeared on the snowy ice field inexplicably. .Such a big event is not directly related to the Intelligence Agency, but such a big move by the bandits may be inseparable from the Intelligence Agency.

"This... come here!" Houdumu's fat face couldn't help but tremble, and his thick lips let out a low voice. Recently, excessive drinking has hollowed out his body, and the director of intelligence has become pale. As pale as paper, I can only nest in the office like a pig all day, looking at boring documents, or teasing a beautiful female secretary.As for official affairs, there are very few people who ask him personally.But Huo Tumu is a person who seldom makes mistakes, such a cautious old fox will show a flustered look in the conference hall.

Houtumu finally realized that Dawang seemed to have something to say to him in the morning, but because he got up late, he was late even for the morning meeting, so he didn't listen carefully to what Dawang said.Thinking about it now is beyond regret.

Just as the sound fell, a young man stood up from the row of auditorium chairs at the door of the conference hall.The young man was dressed in a light and convenient archer's short jacket, his small eyes moved nimbly, and his sharp chin was very individual. As soon as Hodumud finished speaking, the young man continued: "What is it? My lord .”

"Hmph, Dawang, how do you do things? What are your nearly [-] men in charge of collecting intelligence doing? Why can't you even get the information that the bandits outside the city are going to kidnap Princess Sha?" Huodu Mu's voice changed from Turning from low to high, it looks full of confidence.

Standing next to Dawang, the head guard Minghao glanced at Dawang triumphantly, but Dawang pretended not to see him, and quickly said, "Report to Mr. Director, Princess Sha is currently undergoing recovery in the space magic room of Sloitt Hospital. For sex therapy, the deputy dean of Deyi and the dean of the Benma College are having a consultation, and Princess Sha seems to be in a severe coma now."

"Then..." Huo Tumu tried to interrupt Da Wang, but was choked back by Lu Miheng, the director of the Finance Department sitting beside him, who said "Shut up!"

"At present, all the news we have received from outside the city was sent from outside the city yesterday morning. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, we have cut off contact with the intelligence station outside the city for a whole night. However, we still collected quite terrifying information. The news..." Dawang suddenly fell silent, and the meeting hall suddenly became silent.

Old Duke Walter frowned, obviously he was not used to waiting.So he pondered for a while before saying: "Why don't you continue talking? Young child."

Pain suddenly appeared on Dawang's compact and extremely harmonious face at that moment, but it was only for a moment.Hearing the old duke's question, the king quickly saluted and said, "Because our intelligence department has not verified and confirmed what will be said next, so the information is not 100% accurate."

Jingyue Aili asked urgently: "Say it quickly!"

Dawang paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "According to our information, the Celtic tribe, a nomadic people who originally lived among the barbarians in the ice and snow tundra, did not know when they crossed the defense line of the Borei Army and hid in El Near the city, their entire tribe has nearly [-] warriors, posing a great threat to our city of Sloit. They seemed to appear out of thin air, without any sign before. Then suddenly jumped from the galloping river out."

"What? Eight thousand barbarians from the Celtic tribe suddenly appeared outside El City? From El City to Sloit City, you only need to ride a horse." Baron Kai's snow-white handsome face suddenly turned livid, almost Jump up and say.

Jingyue Aili looked at the timid Baron of the Ito family with disdain, and then continued to ask: "So, our guard group has something to do."

After finishing speaking, this extremely proud Miss Jingyue Aili of Sloit City walked out of the conference hall.

The people in the conference hall looked at each other, the old Duke Walter's little granddaughter who was in a coma, it seemed that the Secretary-General next to him glanced at him, and Secretary-General Lart very wisely announced the end of the meeting.

Then, Old Duke Walter rushed out the door with the director of Sloit Hospital, who was already fidgeting.A group of ministers in the conference hall followed closely behind and rushed to Sloitt Hospital.

***
There were only 3 people left in the conference hall for a while.

Only Baron Kai, sitting in the last row of the conference hall, sat on a chair with a gloomy face.

Standing by the side, Ming Hao, the head of the guard, also smiled triumphantly: "Dawang, what do you think Jingyue's rose is doing now? Is it gathering people to rush to the Benma River?"

"Hehe, no matter whether you go or not, the result is still the same! The hateful guy who has always been self-righteous, will bow his head and kneel in front of me before sunrise tomorrow, oh! No, he should be my slave! Haha. Their sisters will fall into my hands sooner or later!" Baron Kai looked at the stained glass windows of the conference hall with extremely sharp eyes.

Dawang smiled strangely, and said, "She has offended you, let her taste the bitter fruit she brewed."

"No! She gave up on me! She shouldn't look down on her fiancé like this. I want her to know how stupid she is to do this. Her so-called noble blood is actually worthless, hehe, that's just It is the glory of the ancestors, how can a person of noble origin rely on the glory of the ancestors to live! After all, Old Wall is old and his mind is not flexible. From now on, the city of Sloitt should be in charge of our Ito family!" Baron Kay said in a low voice.Whenever he thought of this, Baron Kai would feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure all over his body.

"If she saw that instead of eight thousand Celtic warriors waiting for her outside the city, there were dozens of times more barbarians from the ice and snow tundra tribe, I don't know if our eldest lady can come back alive. But Mr. Kai, you promised to give Princess Sha to me, and you can't let her suffer any harm." Dawang chuckled, his eyes almost narrowed into slits.

Minghao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Why don't we go sit in the bar! Today will be the longest day. Next, let's try the first gift Mrs. Calle gave us!"

"Is it Morayal's sweetheart? If it wasn't because she and her father participated in the Ai Li family's dispute, I would never be willing to attack her. She has always admired me! I really don't want to let I self-destructed my status as an idol in her heart. Minghao, Dawang, you must know that even the devil does not want the image of the devil to be engraved in everyone's heart." Baron Kai's eyes were narrow and bright, and he spoke I like to let myself be intoxicated by it.

It took Baron Kai a long while to put away his intoxicated look, and he glanced slightly at the door of the conference hall from the corner of his eyes.He said calmly, "Master Dale, are you here? Why don't you come in?"

The door of the conference hall was slowly pushed open, and a burly and outstanding man walked in from the outside. He was wearing a blue mage robe embroidered with golden patterns, showing his lofty status.There was a faint purple glow in his purple pupils, he walked straight to Baron Kai, and said calmly: "Count Ito asked me to come, let me tell you, it's not too late for you to stop now!"

Baron Kai's eyes immediately danced with faint blue flames, like a burning hellfire.Everyone knows that when the Ito family members are angered, such flames will appear in their eyes.This is also because people in the Ito family have a peculiar physique, with a unique fire magic element flowing in their bodies.

"Brother!" Dawang, who was standing beside Kai, hurriedly stopped him.

Baron Kai's eyes began to dim slowly, and he snorted coldly: "You come! Just to talk? Do you know what life our Ito family has been living these years? Do you know that for this plan, How many people have spent so much effort? What are we for? Is it only for our own selfish desires?"

Dale smiled lightly, and then said: "Kay, I know you have been preparing for this plan for five years. It can be said that all your hard work has been spent on this plan. So I don't expect to be able to persuade you. After two quarters of an hour, Earl Ito will leave here, and I will also go south with me, and I will say goodbye to you today, and there will be no future."

The blue flames in Baron Kai's eyes faded away, revealing a little sadness.He approached and frowned heavily and said: "Dalle, do you really want to go away with your father? Don't you still want to help me? Why do you still not understand that their so-called political laws are entirely for their personal satisfaction? A tool of selfish desires, don’t you really want to try to change? Look at what the current society has become.”

Dale turned around silently, turned his back to Baron Kai and said, "I didn't really give up on you until now, you have grown up! Kai, you have learned to think independently, and now you have done something wrong, no People will bear it for you. Just like if you do one thing right, you will enjoy the glory to yourself. I decided to leave Sloiter now because of the old earl's face, otherwise I will definitely stop it You. Although...forget it! You can do it yourself."

The unfinished words made Baron Kai, who was sitting on the chair, look gloomy again, the veins on his forehead were slightly raised, and he fixed his fierce eyes on Dale.
