In Rios City, in the hall of the city lord's palace, more than a dozen local nobles from Rios City were arguing over the list of candidates for the new city lord. On a temporary high platform, a young man loudly expressed his opinions.
point of view, he held a speech script in his hand, but his eyes did not stop on the script at all. Instead, he tried to let his voice cover the entire audience so that the noisier nobles below could hear his words.
.
"Let him go down!"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a full beard suddenly stood up and shouted. He was wearing a simple leather guard outfit, and his flushed face was basically unfamiliar to the local nobles. Obviously, this man was just attracted by a certain
A temporary guard hired by a nobleman to crash the place.
The young man on the high platform seemed not to have heard the middle-aged man's words, and still shouted his speech vigorously, but his voice was obviously higher than before.
"Damn it!"
The young man's disregard made the middle-aged man who was temporarily hired feel annoyed. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he quietly fell on his employer. The employer gave him a sinister look in return, and the middle-aged man felt a little nervous.
, he realized that if he didn’t drive the young man off the stage quickly, his reward of ten gold coins would be lost.
Ten gold coins!
That was his income for half a year as he worked diligently every day to continuously produce inferior handicrafts and ensure sales!
Thinking of this, a look of sternness appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He suddenly leaned down and pulled up his shoes, pointed at the young man, and shouted again: "Let him get out!"
At the same time, with a flick of his arm, the shoe, stained with sweat and a strange smell, flew towards the young man's face!
"What are you doing?!"
The young man yelled angrily, but his body moved aside relatively quickly. It was obvious that this was not the first time he faced such an attack.
However, the middle-aged man's shoes did not miss, but they did not hit anyone. To be precise, after the young man got out of the way, the shoes flew in the air for a while, and then were caught by a pair of hands that happened to appear behind the young man.
Lived.
A figure suddenly appeared standing on a small magic teleportation array that had just been formed. However, when he stepped out of a cluster of magic teleportation arrays, facing such treatment, the man's face was obviously angry.
"Lord Jonas!"
The young man immediately recognized the person and bowed his head respectfully. He had to recognize him because it was the person in front of him who eliminated the former lord of Rios City, Carol Ferrag and his family.
's legion.
As for this man's name, Aranza, only a few people in the city of Rios know it.
Aranza's eyes flashed over the shoes in his hands, and a flash of disgust flashed through him. He snorted heavily and threw the shoes aside. Then he nodded to the young man who saluted him, and at the same time moved out of the way of the magic teleportation array.
, let the people behind follow you.
The first one to come out was Hancock, followed by Cyril, Ilita and others. The appearance of every woman who stepped out of the magic teleportation array had the ability to amaze the nobles in the audience, but the nobles
At this time, they had no time to pay attention to the beauty that suddenly appeared. Instead, they closed their mouths tightly in fear, not even daring to wipe away the cold sweat that slipped into the corners of their eyes.
The originally lively scolding battle suddenly fell silent. The reason was that while Aranza was getting out of the way of the magic teleportation array, his cold eyes glanced at the faces of a group of people in the audience, and he said in a moderate voice: "Well
, let me guess whose shoes those were just now."
Just one sentence made the people in the audience feel so terrified that they didn't even dare to make a complaint. They could only close their mouths and pray that Aranza would find the owner of the shoes quickly and leave here.
"What's wrong?"
Cyril, who came out of the magic circle, walked up to Aranza and asked softly. Her wolf-headed mask was lost long ago in the unknown sea, and the remaining face is both wild and gentle, which does not conflict but reveals something strange.
Beautiful, her hair was cut casually and messy. Every time she saw it, Aranza couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and this time was no exception. And Cyril also stood next to her obediently, letting him
He ran his hand through her hair without feeling any disgust.
Aranza smiled, but her previous anger stopped abruptly after Cyril spoke out, and she felt instantly better. He said, "Well, it's nothing."
Having said that, Aranza seemed to have forgotten that he was intimidating the nobles in the audience, and led the people who came out of the magic teleportation array to leave the city lord's palace. It is worth mentioning that Karu, who finally appeared from the magic teleportation array,
Putting on the cloak, after all, no matter what his nature is, the dark beast head still makes his identity close to that of a half-orc, and half-orcs are definitely a strange existence in the Continent of Thorns. In order to avoid trouble, Aranza still asked Karu to go out.
Put on the cloak.
The sudden turn of events surprised the nobles in the hall of the city lord's palace for a while, and then there was a roar of explosion. They all ignored the fear they felt just now and happily threw themselves into the fruitless scolding battle again.
The middle-aged man who lost his shoe was startled and then took off his other shoe without any hesitation.
At this time, Aranza and others were about to step out of the gate of the city lord's palace, but they happened to see Aryan coming towards them, and the traveler walking behind her, shrouded in a cloak.
The spatial fluctuations caused by magic transmission are very easy to detect. Nobles without any magic potential may not notice it, but Aryan senses it and appears at the door of the city lord's palace in time. As for the traveler, she does not need to sense it at all, she knows Aranza
It will appear at this time, so I rushed here.
"You're finally here!"
When Aryan saw the group of people behind Aranza, he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses and saying hello to Aranza.
Aranza gave an understatement of "hmm" and asked directly: "Well, has the magic portal been built?"
Hearing this, Aryan groaned and complained: "Looking at the strange mission you issued, do you really think that having a bunch of magic crystals is a big deal?"
As she spoke, she pointed her hand unceremoniously to the traveler standing aside and said: "And the magician you left behind, did she just graduate from the magic academy? She didn't even have the basics to build a magic portal.
I don’t even know the knowledge! Oh! How does her magic come out, and it is so powerful!"
After complaining, Aryan's face showed a touch of pride again: "Fortunately, the fat man who came later was smart enough and brought some more useful materials. The little dwarf also knew the basics of the construction of the portal. Now it is finally possible."
It’s done.”
"Well, just build it."
Aranza smiled coyly and said that he did not understand the actual difficulty of building a large magic portal. Seeing Aryan complaining like this, this portal probably really took a lot of energy. At this time, Aranza naturally couldn't blame Aryan for anything.
. His eyes turned and fell on the silent traveler. He could feel that when Aryan complained, a touch of guilt and loss came from the traveler's soul.
He walked over and patted the hood on her head. The action was somewhat similar to stroking Cyril's hair, and said, "Well, it's not a big deal, don't be sad."
The traveler under the cloak nodded.
At this time, there was a voice specifically speaking against Aranza. Li straddled Longlong's back and flew to Elita's ear. She pointed her little finger at Aranza and said, "Look, look! He is such a playboy."
!”
Aranza's face darkened, she turned to glare at Li, gritted her teeth and said: "I said, if you don't complain, I will die?!"
Li let out a snort from her small nose, but pressed her rumbling pink head with her little hand, letting it fly behind Ilita, refusing to come out even after saying anything.
Of course, through soul induction, Aranza knew that Li was definitely hiding behind Ilita and made a rather disdainful face at him.
The episode did not affect Aranza's good mood. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sky in Rios City was not as gloomy as the sky in Fortress Alice. The autumn sunshine looked light and elegant, shining happily through the streets and alleys.
Aranza lowered his head and said to Aryan: "Well, take us to see the large magic portal."
Everyone walked through the streets and alleys illuminated by the sun and arrived at the large magic portal built inside the city gate. At Aranza's request, it was built close to the city gate, and its architectural style was similar to Leo's.
The buildings around the city gate are quite similar. If it weren't for the light blue light curtain flashing on the portal, no one would have noticed that there is a large magic portal here.
At this time, several magicians poached from the local nobles of Rios City were busy around the magic portal. They held valuable magic crystals in their arms and carefully inserted them into the mechanisms on the wall of the portal.
to serve as the operating energy for this large magic portal.
Such a large-scale magic portal is extremely rare in the human map of the Bramble Continent. Except for some large commercial cities, few people would spend such a large amount of money. Moreover, with the popularity of airships, businessmen are more willing to
Use the funds to build row towers and purchase airships. After all, the maintenance costs of row towers can be paid directly with gold coins, while large magic arrays consume magic crystals that are more valuable than gold coins every day.
Therefore, the magicians were extremely cautious when using magic crystals. Kim Gates and Savannah, who supervised them, were even more cautious, but they stared intently at the magic crystals in the hands of the magicians, for fear that they would sneak them into their arms.
It seems to be enough to pick up one or two.
Of course, such a thing is unavoidable. At least as soon as Aranza arrived here, he felt some sneaky signs coming from the soul points of several magicians. But he was in a good mood at this time and did not intend to argue with these magicians.
As long as they can ensure that this large magic portal will not cause problems in this link.
At this time, the people who followed Aranza were really looking at this large magic portal curiously. The location where it was built was really worth pondering.
Even Cyril noticed something was wrong, but could never guess what the problem was.
"The location of your portal is worth studying..."
Hancock turned his eyes and said to Aranza. There was a lot of curiosity in his voice.
"hey-hey."
Aranza laughed and said, "Well, let's get the teleportation coordinates up first."
