At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Li packed the three books and put them in his luggage. After talking to Lilia, he brought the "lighthouse" and an ordinary oil lamp, and went to the agreed place of the party with Anna, the West Hill.
Hundreds of years ago, this place was an area that was only allowed to enter by the royal family, and it was completely opened to the public a hundred years ago. Standing at the top of the hill, you can overlook the entire vast city that never sleeps and the wonderful Star Lake reflected in the starry sky on the top of the mountain, which made the people keen to come for picnics and parties.
Until the initial night disaster came.
Plants stop growing, mist covers the sky, and the wild represents danger. No one is willing to wither the woods and lakes become stagnant western hills.
There was a car rental store in the neighborhood at the foot of the western hills. Lu Li placed a carriage and was pushed by Anna, approaching the gentle and low hills at the end of the street.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky began to become dark, not far from the arrival of night.
Here Lu Li and Anna met a parked carriage. The servant lifted the curtain and the middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo stepped out.
He looked at Lu Li Anna not far away and said, "Are you here to attend the party?"
Lu Li nodded in response.
"Then you must be Lord Lu Li invited by Foley." The middle-aged gentleman smiled and followed the groom carrying the box to Lu Li. "Please allow me to introduce myself. The Ma Fulin family, the exorcist Henry
Ma Fulin greets you."
"Senior Investigator, Lu Li."
"We've all heard of your legendary experience," Henry Mafulin said with a laugh. "It seems that my luck is as good as Foley, and I can meet you first than other guys."
Although the second-level exorcists are not common, they will not be praised by the exorcist families for generations, or even more than ten generations.
The real reason is that Lu Li personally resolved the dispute between the two evil gods and killed one of them.
He did many things that the third-level exorcist could not do.
In addition to night watchmen, most of them are curious about the unknown.
Mysterious, Lu Li, who never comes into contact with people, is like the unknown.
Henry Mafulin introduced their gathering to Lu Li: exchange their experiences and stories, or tell them about their knowledge. Usually held once a month, and friends who are exorcists can be invited to come. Henry Mafulin was introduced by a friend.
Party that knows.
He told Lu Li that he might have only four people in this party. Many exorcists in the royal city went to the surrounding area to maintain public order and follow the evacuated people in the villages and towns, and they would not come back tomorrow.
"I guess Furley and Rhodes must have wanted to know about your legendary experience." Henry Mafulin said with a smile on his face as he walked along the path between the dead woods.
After thinking, Lu Li replied: "There is still an evil god who survives. When it comes to the Shadow Town incident, he may be paid attention to the evil god."
"That's really regretful." Henry Mafulin felt sorry.
He didn't ask who was pushing the wheelchair, just like the servant who was following him. Henry Mafulin thought it was Lu Li's servant or servant.
Through the sparse jungle, the rippling star lakes and royal buildings extending to the end of the horizon are presented in the eyes.
"It seems that Foley is earlier than us." Henry Mafulin looked at the figure at the other end of the Star Lake and said, and walked around the Star Lake with a diameter of 100 meters to approach Foley.
Kiger Fore was building a bonfire and noticed that the two people were close to each other were already ten meters away.
"Hi Ma Fulin, Your Excellency Lu Li." Kiger Fora said hello, and he was very happy to see Lu Li appear.
Ma Fulin's servant was sent by him to build a bonfire, and the idle Kig Fulai and Ma Fulin gathered around Lu Li.
"It's only Rhodes who have not arrived." Kiger Furley looked across the lake, and the trail climbing the hill still did not appear.
After a while, the built bonfire was lit, dispelling the dimmering sky.
A few street lights lit up on the streets stretching under the hills, and the evening is dotted like stars.
As the evening approached, the last figure finally appeared. Rod Tesla, Foley and the others had introduced him to Lu Li.
A familiar surname, Rod Tess, then said that this familiarity really exists: "My uncle has mentioned you many times."
"Michael Tesla?"
"Hmm." The young exorcist nodded and smiled, "So I met you earlier than those three guys."
Kiger Forre seemed to relax. Rod Tesla was not a good guy to get along with, it was related to the family behind him and his personality. But now it seems that there is no need to worry that he would have conflicts with Lu Li.
The light behind the clouds was completely away from the earth, and the royal city that lit up the stars wrapped the only dark western hill. But the western hill was not completely dark, and a small firelight existed at the top of the hill.
Four exorcists gathered in front of the crackling bonfire, and Kige Furley slowly turned the food on the fire to start the theme of today's party: "Then I'll start first."
Ma Fulin teased: "As long as you stop telling repeated stories."
"Of course not, this story was specially prepared for Lu Li."
"I remember you have been teaching students at university recently." Ma Fulin said in confusion.
"It's my brother."
Kiger Foley shrugged and replied, the flames licked his face and slowly told his brother's experience.
There is a centuries-old open-air excavation site in the Tashufik area of the Kingdom of Allen. At first, it was just excavated for newly built towns dozens of miles away to obtain stone. However, after digging down more than ten meters, people found that the bottom floor was rare.
mineral.
The excavation site was then taken over by the official mining. In the following hundred years, the excavation site, which was originally only a dozen meters deep, was expanded to be enough to accommodate a village.
About sixty years ago, the minerals mined at excavation sites began to decrease. When people thought that mineral resources were exhausted, new minerals were discovered soon, and they were even more rare and precious: gold mines.
Although disturbing things happen from time to time during the excavation, such as skeletons buried in ore and crazy miners, it is impossible for the royal family to stop mining precious gold because of the lives of hard-working slaves.
The gold rush has also been set off in the Tashufik area, and many people risked being caught by guards and hanged around the excavation ground, trying to dig out gold.
The temptation of gold is greater than expected. The royal family has gained a lot of wealth from excavation sites for decades, and the corresponding one is that the excavation sites have changed from a village to a town, and the bottom of the excavation sites is even close to three from the ground.
At a height of 100 meters, the spiral-like road extends downward, like a vortex mark left on the beach by a conch leaving.
The excavation site becomes a strange event after the night disaster comes.
The workers reported that the geology began to turn into strange black stone. A few days later, the bottom of the pit was suddenly shrouded in strange gray mist that gushed from the ground, swallowing hundreds of workers who were digging.
