Chapter 21 The Southern City Gate

Chapter 21 Southern Gate

The two people with false smiles separated at the door of the Peace Newspaper Office.

Editor-in-chief Philip, who had won another piece of capital for his bright future, moved his fat body towards his office. He still had many things to deal with today, and there was no need to waste too much on a short-sighted aristocratic illegitimate son.

time.

When Philip came to the door of his office, he heard some slight noises, as if mice were running on the floor of the room. However, when he opened the door, he found that the office was still extremely peaceful.

"Maybe I should ask them to get some rat poison."

Phillip thought this and returned to his position.

Outside the newspaper office, Xiuge, who had received a small amount of royalties, was not in a hurry to leave immediately. He asked a familiar newspaper clerk for a cigarette and a magic cigarette lighter, and then leaned outside the Heping newspaper office.

Beside the wall, he lit the cigarette with some unfamiliarity and held it in his mouth.

If someone were to observe Shuge at this moment, they would definitely find that the illegitimate son of the Ernst family was far paler and weaker than usual. He leaned completely on the wall behind him with the Armistice Celebration Poster.

, the smoke from the cigarette was floating, making his expression look a little uncertain.

Van Enzhong cigarettes have not been developed for a long time, so the taste of this cigarette is not very good. Fortunately, Shuge is not a very good smoker. He just likes to light cigarettes.

, and watched as it turned into smoke little by little.

Few people would disturb a smoker at such a moment.

Therefore, Xiuge squinted his eyes openly and focused entirely on the three-tailed mouse that was leaving along the mezzanine of the pipe. When the magic power was about to be consumed, he finally completed his goal - in his

Under the control, the three-tailed mouse successfully emerged from the paper products warehouse behind the Peace Newspaper Office with the metal box issued by the Legal Committee. It successfully bypassed two workers who were carrying magazines and newspapers, and then disappeared.

In a hidden corner.

They are alienated from each other, and this force can exist widely in all corners of the world. Every human individual, every object, and even every grain of dust floating in the air can become its carrier.

However, the female mage did not take any further drastic action.

The so-called magic law actually refers to the views and opinions of the magicians of the Law Committee on common things and phenomena in the world.

"Oh! I can't get it, I can't get it!"

Except for those crystal miners who got a holiday due to a short break in the mines, the vast majority of people still need to run for their own livelihood. At this time of year, the shops, pubs and various entertainment venues in the city always need

More manpower.

Carrying goods, decorating buildings, pickling food and wine, maintaining law and order, ensuring the cleanliness of the streets, and repairing and maintaining many magical equipment put into use...

Before the armistice celebrations every year, even the most lazy idlers in the city can find themselves a short and decent job.

For a low-level city gate guard like him, what could be more terrifying than "slandering the Legal Committee in front of a mage"?

Based on the law of magic, everything in Van En can always influence each other. Just as human beings can never exist without the influence of the same kind, spiritual forces are always exerting an influence on each other. Therefore, when creatures gather, they and the surrounding

All the powers contained in it will converge into one, and eventually form the invisible magic ocean that connects all living beings in Van En - the Sea of ​​Sinar.

According to his understanding of the Legal Committee, in this case, the other party has every reason and power to use magic to cut off his head in front of everyone, and such an approach will not even attract anyone

doubts.

Magic scholars who advocate the laws of magic believe that the so-called Van En is actually an ocean with a huge spiritual projection.

Xiuge smiled, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and then walked around from the alley on one side to the back of the Peace Newspaper Office. After a while, his figure reappeared on the southern square, just like the hurriedly walking people.

Like any other young man, he put his hands in his windbreaker, lowered his head and left silently.

As the only organization among Van En that has the right to interpret spellcasters and magic, the Legal Committee showed unusual silence before this year's Armistice Celebration. They did not carry out the targeted residential areas before major festivals as they did in the past.

The "Wild Mage" screening did not issue any reminder announcements for the residents of Salem City.

However, the people in Salem didn't care about this.

The man was speechless. He threw down the cigarette in his hand in a panic, stood up from the bed with a snap, and gave a standard military salute to the cold-tempered female mage from the Legal Committee in front of him.

The Law of Magic believes that everything in Van En is interconnected, and they exert a large or small influence on everything around them at all times, and this influence brings continuous influence to the entire world.

Development and change.

As a member of the younger generation of the Legal Committee who has made certain achievements in the academic field, Vereen Ernst considers herself not a rigid person who abides by dogma, but when looking at everything, she always adheres to the principles of thousands of years ago.

The "magic law" proposed by the Legal Committee.

However, for those few who are observing the situation in Salem City, this abnormal phenomenon reveals more possibilities.

The residents of Salem City will not stop their lives just because the city is closed before the Armistice Celebration. Most people still have many, many things to do.

The soldiers were unprepared for the changes that were happening right now. Although most of them, as city gate guards, wore weapons that could resist magic to a certain extent, in fact, no one dared to attack a lake-level man easily.

The adviser to the Legal Affairs Commission used knives and guns.

In fact, only those spellcasters who have successfully reached the lake and river valley levels can vaguely feel the existence of this legendary magical ocean, and the relationship between everyone and the Sinar Sea is unstable.

, Wei Lin knew very well that the so-called turmoil she felt was just a very, very vague feeling, and it could not be used as any actual evidence to deduce what was about to happen in reality.

"Aren't you afraid of others giving you a spiritual interrogation?"

"Aha, I knew... you would definitely be unable to resist attacking."

At this moment, the south gate, like the city gates in several other directions, is completely closed. Some bored city guards are waiting here. During the annual armistice celebrations, these guards do not have much specific work to do.

, so they all choose to gather together at this time to play a folk card game called "Dragon Tooth Card".

However, the soldiers sitting opposite him remained silent. The soldier who was using the Legal Committee deck raised his hand and gently gathered up a few ironic cards on the table with a sneer.

His eyes kept squinting to the side.

A soldier held the colorful cards in his hand and danced: "Just in time, I have a 'Unlearned Female Mage' here. Your three cards can be turned over!"

Seeing that the game was irreversible, the soldier with a cigarette in his mouth decisively chose to admit defeat. He took out a few coins and slapped them on the table while laughing and cursing: "If there is such an opportunity, I will definitely go.

,hey-hey……"

Not many people will like these scary spell casters. Their supernatural power and the terrifying power from the Law Committee are enough to suffocate ordinary people. Therefore, for ordinary people, the Law Committee that does not show up at will is a good spell.

committee.

But now, whenever Weilin closes her eyes, she can feel the faint turmoil coming from the Sinar Sea.

This is true of magic, the Legal Council that promotes the development of magic, and even more so the large and small kingdoms that are inextricably linked to the Legal Council.

With uneasiness and worry about the future, Vereen Ernst got off the carriage. She adjusted her robe, pushed up her glasses, and then walked towards the south gate of Salem City ahead.

In fact, those rigorous scholars who study magic are already among the most rational and intelligent people in the world.

As expected, the violent behavior from the female mage did not come. Weilin glanced around, and then her eyes fell on the iron gate leading to the inside of the city gate fortress.

But at the same time, it is one and the same.

Hearing these words, the soldiers looked at each other. Finally, the middle-aged soldier who was extremely nervous stood up. He once again saluted the female mage in front of him, and then said in a trembling voice: "Mage

Your Excellency, according to Order No. 1 of the independent government of Salem City... until the start of the armistice celebrations, people not on the list are not allowed to enter or leave Salem City."

In the process, his eyes secretly glanced at the magic book in the opponent's hand, and he saw a emblem that was enough to make him collapse.

Just like the legend about the magic goddess Mel, all spiritual forces in the world are like bodies of water that sometimes disperse and sometimes gather.

Weilin took a look at the soldiers in front of her. She did not commit any bloody act of revenge. Instead, she calmly raised her finger and tapped the magic book twice. Then she spoke out her words.

Request: "I have urgent matters and need to leave Salem City temporarily."

No one will be flustered by the city's blockade, and no one will be curious about the world outside Salem, because everyone knows that as long as they wait a few more days, everything will return to the way it was before, and the armistice celebrations will be as they were in the past.

Each time that happens, it brings prosperity and tourists to the city.

In fact, there is, and he did so.

He swallowed nervously: "This is customary, I hope you can understand."

The cold magic power immediately swept around Weilin's body, and the invisible barrier gently hit the soldiers, forcing them to step aside. Then Weilin walked straight to the iron gate, the blue mage's

The hand appeared at the right time and pushed the iron door open for her.

He couldn't imagine that he would say such dirty words in front of a lake-level female mage from the Legal Committee.

The middle-aged man holding a cigarette finally reacted. He slowly turned his head, only to see a figure that was much prettier than the portrait on the card standing behind him at some point. The gaze behind his glasses was already bigger than the one on the card.

Ice blades need to be colder and sharper.

Time flows again.

The card-playing soldier on the opposite side who was at a disadvantage was holding a cigarette and swearing: "Damn, the cards in the Legal Committee series are always so disgusting, even more disgusting than in real life!"

A skinny soldier made a weird laugh with unknown meaning: "Keep your voice down, be careful that an 'uneducated female mage' invites you to have afternoon tea at the Legal Committee's headquarters."

"Your Majesty the Master!"

He took a puff of smoke from his cigarette, and the expression on his face became more and more obscene: "We are all from the same city gate, and we know the basics. We obviously can't live without these pieces of paper and the novels of the 'Happy Master' every night.

Go on, you dare to show off in front of me...Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and try again!"

The soldier's mouth twitched sharply, and his expression almost collapsed.

The soldiers finally got up from the suppression of the invisible magic barrier, and then they dispersed. Two of them were preparing to send a warning to the inside of the city gate fortress, while the rest picked up their weapons, while

Trembling, he chased in the direction of Wei Lin.

"..."

"It's over!"

In such a mood and habit, almost no one noticed the unusual movements of the Legal Committee.



"The premise is that it must look the same as the pattern on this card, haha, and it must be the kind of uneducated person... Come, look at this painting for yourself, tsk tsk, aren't you tempted?"

After entering the city wall, she slowed down her pace and walked along the inner corridor accompanied by the mage's hand. Her manners were very good, her steps were smooth and steady, and she exuded the aura of a magic consultant.

Come, the mage logo on the magic book in his hand is also glowing slightly, which makes the soldiers stationed inside the city wall look surprised - at this time, Wei Lin looks like those members of the Legal Committee who launched a surprise inspection of a specific stronghold.

.

And Weilin did exactly that.

After the nervous soldiers caught up, they were surprised to find that the female mage was carefully inspecting various protective facilities within the city wall. Her expression was so serious that the soldiers in front who were forced to break through by Wei Lin

They were all dumbfounded at the moment, not daring to move forward easily.

A moment later, the city gate guard responsible for the security of the southern city gate of Salem City hurriedly arrived. He glared at his useless subordinates, then forced a smile and raised his feet towards the strange woman.

The mage walked over.
