Every once in a while, the night watchmen within the city will launch a large-scale search, each lasting two to four months. During this period, the night watchmen's activities will be unprecedentedly frequent, and they will conduct searches in various neighborhoods of the city.
The surveillance will be so close that it's scary. Sometimes even in the most remote and inconspicuous parks, their eyes and ears are hidden, from pedestrians on the roadside to insects in the grass... Every pair of eyes is monitoring suspicious people.
The movements are intertwined into an airtight network, so that the aliens can only cower and hide in their lairs, shivering.
The Night's Watch calls this special period the "Harvest Moon", and the Aliens call it the "Harvest Moon." In this simple metaphor, the Aliens essentially play the role of weeds in the fields, and the Night's Watch stirs up a turbulent period.
The wind will be like a sickle, easily blowing down a large area of numb decay.
One hundred and fifty-eight years have passed since Siesta ended her tour and established the Goblin Sleep Inn in Rosting City. The "Harvest Moon" she experienced must be unbelievable in the eyes of other aliens.
The numbers may have been so numerous that even she herself could not recall them all.
The biggest contributor to helping Siesta and the Goblin Sleep Inn escape countless searches was the magical secret lock she learned from a alien called the "Photon Elf" when she was traveling abroad when she was young.
A technology that builds a barrier to isolate the magic within a specific range from the outside. Both the night watchmen and the pathogenic organisms they control rely heavily on the feedback of magic to track the enemy. Therefore, after isolating the flow of magic, the hotel changes from occult science to
In the sense of "disappearing", it will naturally not be discovered by the night watchman.
But the Magic Lock does not work at all times, because the flow of magic in the world is in a very strange state. Sometimes it is so smooth that it seems dead, and sometimes it is so turbulent that it seems violent, just like the tide.
Cycle through cycles.
Every time the magic power is active or quiet, the effectiveness of the magic lock will weaken. This is the most dangerous moment for the hotel. If it happens to hit the "Harvest Moon", there is a high probability of being discovered by the night watchman.<
/p>
This was the case last time. The silent period of magic happened to coincide with the "Harvest Moon" of the Night Watch. The magic accumulated in the underground garden escaped slightly due to the weakening of the magic lock. The sensitive Night Watch caught the breath, so
Without hesitation, he dispatched a team of magic knights and surrounded the entire Sherel Street, and a more rigorous search was about to be carried out.
Siesta almost felt despair, thinking that it was finally unavoidable, but Saint Shalia suddenly appeared, leading the night watchmen to the wrong path, and saving the fate of the Goblin Sleeping Hotel.
However, the Night Watchmen are not the kind of people who will swallow their losses obediently, especially when it comes to attacking aliens in the city. Anyone who opposes them is their enemy and will surely receive the cruelest revenge. So.
"Perhaps Xiaoxia was targeted by the Night Watch at that time." Shesta's face lost the gentle expression and became very solemn: "Her power is so magical that she can use magic without the need for magic...
…I think any human being who sets foot in the extraordinary realm will be interested in this."
Because humans are the only intelligent race that is born without magic and cannot use magic.
A trace of worry flashed in Shelia's eyes: "But Xiaoxia has been away for several months. How could the night watchman know that she was about to return to Rosting City, so they chose to conduct a search at this time?"
"I'm not sure about this." Shesta shook her head and said: "But, no matter what, Xiaoxia was targeted by the night watchman because she wanted to help us, so when she needed help, we
You must give your full support?"
"That's natural, eldest sister, I'm worried about another thing."
"Another thing?"
"Well, it's about...Xie Mi."
When the heroic girl said this, she pursed her lips, and between her sharp and slender eyebrows, there was a clear concern and worry. If the little girl who had been afraid of her second sister since she was a child saw it, she would definitely be very surprised.
: "It is very dangerous to help Xiaoxia and avoid the pursuit of the night watchman. We don't care, we have been mentally prepared for a long time. But what should Xie Mi do? She has just grown up this year and has not even completed her own
During the tour, do we want her to live in danger anytime and anywhere like us? I don’t think this is possible, eldest sister.”
Shelia's tone was very serious, and she obviously said these words after careful consideration.
After the traveler elf grows its first pair of butterfly wings, it will embark on a journey with the wind, which is the so-called pilgrimage. It will not stop until the second pair of butterfly wings grows.
However, Xie Mi, who has already grown a second pair of butterfly wings, has never left the hotel or even stepped out of Sherrill Street. This is because today's environment has changed drastically compared to the past hundreds of years.
The changes in the world and the brutal oppression of aliens by the alliance of the sects have made the pilgrimage of the traveler goblins full of dangers. Now if Shimei is allowed to travel, he may have fallen into the net of the night watchman before he even leaves the city, and he will be lost.
life.
If you ask whether it is possible to travel away from the city, the answer is unfortunately no. Not to mention that the current Western Continent is full of traces of human activities. How difficult it is to avoid civilized settlements.
Things, even in primitive places where human footprints have not yet touched, are not necessarily safe, because the silver rabid dogs of the Balance of Order are sharpening their sharp claws and watching eagerly.
Due to various concerns, at least until today, Siesta had no intention of letting Xie Mi embark on a tour.
But blindly suppressing nature is not suitable for the growth of a traveler fairy. Before that, Xie Mi had already shown obvious anxiety and restlessness. It was the blood in her body that yearned for freedom that was urging her to rush towards the mountains where she came from like a gust of wind.
and rivers. It is the urge to return home and the desire to explore the unknown.
Siesta alleviated this instinct a little by holding banquets and letting her serve as a maid, but this was not a long-term solution. One day, she would embark on a journey. If Siesta didn't want to go on a journey in the dead of night.
If you suddenly lose your beloved little sister, you must make a decision as soon as possible.
Although it may be a difficult decision.
"We are Xie Mi's sisters, so we must take responsibility for her future, but that is not to protect her under our butterfly wings, but to encourage her to pursue her own future, just like in the beginning, eldest sister, you encouraged her
It’s like I left my hometown and embarked on a journey.”
Shelia leaned against the door, raised her head slightly, with a look of memory in her eyes: "If it hadn't been for that journey, I wouldn't have known how naive I was. For travel fairies, adulthood begins at this time, Xie Mi
It's time for her to reach adulthood."
The two-hundred-year-old second pair of butterfly wings is only an adult in terms of age, and psychological adulthood is the moment when the tour is completed. Therefore, the tour of the traveler fairies is also their coming-of-age ceremony.
"Well..."
The beautiful and generous landlady gently tapped her lips with her fair and slender fingers, her gentle and lost eyes seemed to be thinking, but she remained silent for a long time without answering.
The kitchen fell into silence for a while. Even the cabbage and hot onions that were fighting in the pot wisely chose a truce and silently sank to the bottom of the pot, bubbling.
