Through the morning light, you can see the majestic outline of the mobile fortress of "Mobius", and countless pipelines support this monster-like city. Because there is an industrial area between the old city and the craftsman area, there are chimneys, and it looks foggy from a distance.

Two sparrows stayed outside the window, and they built a nest between the magic pipelines that ran across the attic. The pipelines were transformed by craftsmen for other purposes over the years, and powered the entire city through the huge magic furnace core of the mobile fortress.

Leila wiped the mist on the glass with her hands, looked at them, and bent her fingers and tapped the window. The two birds turned around and looked at the former with their little heads, not seemingly afraid of the hostess in the attic.

A smile spread across the girl's pale face and she started to laugh.

She had no friends in this strange city, but seeing this scene made her lonely heart feel a little comforted. Leila remembered something and jumped out of bed - the bed was nothing more than a wooden board, a quilt, and a layer of bed sheets - and there were some thick books under it.

She walked barefoot on the floor of the attic and came to the bookshelf beside her. The tall bookshelf occupied most of the space in the attic, and was densely packed with various books - and some cartons.

Some books can be read often, and the cover that was wrapped in a layer of the book was worn out and rolled up, but the owner seemed to cherish these books very much and carefully pasted another layer of tape.

Other books have not been moved for a long time, and are brand new and have long titles written in strange words. Some can be seen as biography and history, while others are not commonly used by the Aoshus.

Leila stood on tiptoe and took a glass jar from the top of the bookshelf - like the jar containing candy, but now it is filled with coins, about half a jar, mostly yellow copper coins, one is the face value of three or five litersel.

There were a few silver coins mixed in.

Leila carefully placed the jar on the desk beside her, opened the lid, and carefully counted the few silver coins, a total of eleven. After she confirmed that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the eleven silver coins one by one and wrapped them in the palm of her hand.

She took out another silver coin from her pocket, put it together with the other coins, lay open and looked at it carefully. After watching for a while, the girl poured them back into the jar, making a pleasant sound of ding dong dong.

Finally, I closed the lid with satisfaction.

"If this continues, maybe you can make up enough money before the exam," thought Laila. "A robe is needed to enter school, but Brita promised to give me her old one."

She looked at the glass jar carefully, as if she was looking at her whole world, and her heart was full of happiness. It was her dream that she saved little by little.

In her eyes, these coins were like pairs of wings, carrying her way to the future.

Laila read it for a while before putting the jar back on the top of the shelf and blocking it with a few books.

On the desk next to it, there was a magic light, and the base was polished shiny and it had been used in the owner's hands for many years. The magic crystals on it were almost transparent, and they could only emit a dim light.

There were many papers scattered on the table, with densely packed poses on both sides, a quill pen inserted in an ink bottle, and the thick books spread out were also marked with various notes and marks.

The girl put the book together and put it together with the notes. Then she picked up the plate next to her, covered the cloth with a half of the leftover bread last night, took a small bite, and swallowed the dry bread with the cold water in the cup.

She ate a small piece of bread for a while, and she squinted her eyes slightly as if she was savoring some delicious food.

After breakfast, Laila went to the small compartment to wash, turned on the faucet, connected a small basin of water, scooped up a handful of water with her hands, poured it on her face, and then wiped it dry with a towel.

She raised her head and looked at her face through the mirror.

A girl of only fifteen or sixteen years old has a pointed face, but she is a little lacking in health. Her hair hanging from her forehead is soft, but she is dark and beautiful, with thin eyebrows as thin as willow leaves.

The brown and green eyes always have an indelible feeling of pity inside. The tip of the nose is very beautiful, and there are some faint freckles on both sides, which makes the girl feel a little shy.

Leila picked up the glasses from the bathroom next to her and put them on the bridge of her nose.

There was a crack in the middle of the glasses frame, but it was carefully glued back with glue and carefully wrapped a circle of cloth strips. The thick lenses were shining against each other, covering the timidity in the girl's eyes with her hanging hair.

She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the room outside to change into the robe. One of the only two robes was much shorter last year, but she cleverly extended a piece with the same color of fabric, and the worn areas were also filled in the same way from the inner layer.

In this way, there is no trace of the patch from the outside.

Lera felt proud of her clever ideas more than once.

Then she picked up the books, thought about whether she had any missing places, then pushed the door out, lowered the stairs from the outside walkway, and climbed down the attic.

There were no people in the hotel during this period, and it was quiet, but this made Lail breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that those people would point fingers at her, and her eyes fell on her, although most of the people in the hotel were quite friendly to her.

When passing by the doorman, Mattri, who was in charge of the boiler, turned around and saw the girl floating like a ghost. He couldn't help but shout: "Lella, have you eaten something nice recently? Why do you think your face is getting worse and worse?"

"Eat, Uncle Mattery," Laila replied in a low voice, "... There is still an extra meal tonight, half a loaf of bread... By the way, Aunt Rosa has been in good health recently?"

"She is much better," Mattry looked at the little girl and taught earnestly, "You should also be more careful and don't be so anxious. If you have any trouble, you can ask everyone for help."

"oh."

The girl responded quickly and fled in panic.

Mattry looked at the other person's back and couldn't help but shake his head, shoveling a shovel of coal into the stove.

Although some people use magic furnaces to heat them nowadays, they are a luxury that only wealthy families can afford. Aiyin Bullock is located on the Four-Leaf Grass Plain, and the nearby underground store amazing coal resources.

This is the famous city of steel. The Oshu people used coal to smel steel here for centuries. The coal here is quite cheap, and both industries and residents use it to generate calorific value.

The abundant steel resources also write the legend of this magic city that extends to today.

Leila came to the lobby of the hotel. She wanted to discuss the rent with Mr. Pusher, but unexpectedly found that there were many strangers in the hall today - the leader was a young alchemist.

There were also a few men and women. One of the girls made her look at her twice, and then she hurriedly looked away before looking at her, thinking to herself how could there be such a beautiful person in this world?

There was also a young man who was holding a sword and sitting quietly on the side, and she also paid more attention to it. Because the other party was wearing a magician's robe and a sharp magician's hat, but it was a swordsman.

Demon Swordsman?

She thought to herself that she had only heard of this profession in stories.

There was also a tall Lion Paladin who had been looking at her from the beginning. When she saw her looking over, she smiled slightly with kindness to her.

Laila was so scared that she lowered her head.

She had heard of this race, which was born on the wild plains, and built a country with ancient commandments, that is, the wild country Rotao, the guardian of the pillars of stars.

Rotao's ancient knight, the Holy Guard of the Miro, still abides by its oath today, and guards the great wilderness with that ancient kingdom. It is the place where the dragons were born and the place where the stars fell.

New customers have arrived in the hotel?

When Laila saw the Platinum Morning Star on the collar of the alchemist led by the leader, she couldn't help but be shocked, her heart was pounding. How could a person with such a respectful identity live in the old city?

Are they the Selected Ones?

Only the Saint Selected Ones will have such a young and advanced alchemist.

She didn't dare to look at it anymore, and even felt a little ashamed in front of these people. She subconsciously blocked the patched area on her robe with her hands, and then lowered her head and walked out of the hall.

...

In the hotel lobby is the group of Qihai Brigade.

After leaving the Principality of the Dead, the Qihai Traveler turned straight south, leaving the people who came to the Guild far behind, and passed through the Grand Canyon of the Empire Gate.

I enjoyed the magnificent scenery in the Grand Canyon, and arrived in Ravendur a few days later.

There, they were lucky enough to meet the craftsman delegation from self-Kaolin Ishurien. To be precise, it was the delegation of the Guta Craftsmen Association, where Fang Yu also met the girl named Vikki whom he had met before.

There is also the somewhat dull fighting craftsman boy with her.

The Guta people currently have some subtle relationships with the Kaolin Kingdom. The mountain people launched a turmoil in the northern border under the instigation of the Crow Claw Temple, but the candidates were very little affected. After all, both Xingmen Port and the candidates had their own interests and positions.

The same is true for the Guta Craftsmen Association.

Although the Guta and the Treasure Coast have always been within the sphere of influence of Northeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and the Guta Craftsman Association is more closely linked to the interests of several countries, the Craftsman Association and the mountain people are not in the same mind.

What's more, the Guta Summoner and the Kaorin-Ishurien Summoner are in a competitive relationship, but the two are not hostile.

After arriving at the Empire, this relationship became more obvious. After all, they were all players in the second division, and the common enemy here was the Aoshu and the candidates of the Empire.

Therefore, the ancient tower craftsmen association, which was originally a bit hostile to Fang Zhu, also eased its attitude; and Vikki and the young man had no grudge against him. Fang Zhu also advised the group to learn ancient alchemy in the southern border.

Therefore, the two told Fang Yu that the people from the Southern Alchemist Alliance and the Kaurin-Ishurien Association set out before them and had already gone to Ayinblock. The Guta Craftsmen Association had some business dealings in Ravendur, so they stayed for the time being.

In terms of time, the Guta people really have nothing to worry about.

The Imperial people have changed the start time of the Craftsman Competition for some reason this year, and the competition will be held in March after the Flower Festival, and will not end until May and June.

Even if you wait until it snows before going on the road, you will have more than enough time.

However, Fang Yu did not intend to stay and wait for the Guta people. After all, although the relationship between the two sides eased, it was not a good deal. Moreover, the Seven Seas Brigade had its own sailboat, so there was no need to stay and wait for the shuttle between Ravendur and Ronor.

After saying goodbye to Vikki and others, the Qihai Brigade and his group moved on.

Through the "Wind Gorge Route" through the empire, passing through several cities, and experiencing the first snow since the beginning of winter - a light snow. Before the snowflakes could even accumulate, they disappeared without a trace.

After wandering over the Akira Sea for several weeks, the Qihai Traveler finally entered the Ronor area.

Arrived at Aiyin Bullock.

It was mid-January. According to Yayue, it should have snowed in the northern area of ​​the Duchy of Hart. However, in the south of the warm empire, the Four-Leaf Grass Plain does not see snow all year round.

As soon as everyone left the airport, they immediately came to the old city.

Asked passers-by along the way, I finally found this hotel called "Gears and Magic Book".

Fang Zhu and Silweid had previously gone to the Principality of the Deer to find Sir Mawei's old friends, one of which was to seek help for the trip to the empire. However, although Sir Ash was no longer alive and the Lynn family disappeared, the old servant of the Lynn family still provided them with some guidance within their ability—

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The owner of this hotel called "Gears and Magic Book" is a businessman named Pushe.

When he was young, the other party had a business deal between Cintaan and Kaorin-Ishurien. After retirement, he bought the hotel from others. He currently runs hotels and several local businesses in Aiyin Block.

This hotel was originally an industry of the Lynn family. Later, after it was sold, it came to the former.

The old servant told them that when he was managing the Lin En family's property, he had met several times and was a person with reliable character. If they wanted to find a reliable place in Aiyin Bullock, they could find each other in his name.

This Mr. Pusher is enthusiastic and will definitely help them.

This is also the reason why Fang Yu and his group appeared here-

"That's it?" Fang Yu saw Laila huddled her head and hurriedly passing through the hall. Her figure disappeared outside the door. When she saw the amiable old businessman in front of her, she couldn't help but ask: "Is it a local college student?"

From the beginning, he noticed that the girl's robe was old-fashioned, but it could be seen that it was a gray-brown low-level magician robe. And there was no stairs on it, so maybe she was still a student of the academy.
