West Feier raised his water glass and said with a smile: "Drinking is not allowed in the military camp. Today I will bring wine with water to apologize for the offense our Bright Tiger Army caused to the elders before." Almost all the senior generals of the Bright Tiger Army were present.
, including Sirui, the leader of the magician group who usually has little contact with the army, everyone stood up and raised their water glasses.
Ah-Dai hurriedly stood up and said awkwardly: "I understand that you also have difficulties, how can I blame you."
The high-ranking generals of the Bright Tiger Army did not hesitate to praise Ah-Dai's great strength with complimentary words. The feast ended in a joyful atmosphere for two hours.
Xi Feier personally led people to send the three people to the border, "Elder, if you encounter any danger in the Sunset Empire, come back immediately. As long as you come to us, we will definitely ensure your safety. However, these worries of mine should be put aside.
It’s all in vain. With your strength, how can those despicable guys from the Sunset Empire harm you?”
Sri said: "Elder Dumb, you are the most powerful magician I have ever seen. You can maintain your summoned creatures for more than an hour. I have never seen this even in magic books!"
Yan Yan was tired of hearing the praises of these people, and said impatiently: "Okay, I won't bother you all to see you off, we are on our way. Dumb, let's go."
Xi Feier and others watched the three figures of Ah-Dai disappear before returning to the military camp. They went to write a report letter to Aldos in an anxious mood.
Finally entering the Sunset Empire, Ah-Dai took out the elf bracelet from the dragon's blood and said: "Those generals are so enthusiastic, my head is so dizzy!" Socializing is what Ah-Dai is the worst at, today
He talked more in the military camp than he usually did in ten days.
Yan Li laughed and said: "Who allowed you to summon such a powerful silver dragon? No wonder they will continue to flatter you. Brother Dumb, if you encounter enemies in the future, as long as you summon the dragon, who can be us?"
The opponents. Those nobles of the Sunset Empire are nothing at all."
Dui shook his head and said: "Actually, Shengxie is just a little dragon. Its strength is very limited, but it was exaggerated by Commander Xi Feier and the others. Although the dragon is powerful, it is not invincible." He clearly understood.
How powerful is Shengxie? If he uses the transformation and the black iron bow, Shengxie will not be able to resist it. The main reason why it caused such a strong shock in the military camp is because of the powerful and mysterious dragon.
biological deterrent.
Shi Yan said: "Ah-Dai is right. No matter what you do, you have to be strong enough to be safe. Dragons cannot be summoned every time. We must also practice hard in the process of looking for elves.
"The three of them said as they entered the Dark Province of the Sunset Empire. Contrary to the large garrison of the Light Province, the Dark Province was very peaceful. The three of them passed through a hilly area and entered the plain. They did not
He dared to walk too fast and walked in a roundabout way, using the ability of the elf bracelet to see if there were any elves around him.
The residence of the city lord of Dark City, the capital of the Dark Province of the Sunset Empire.
The five dark magicians and four assassins who had attacked the remnants of the magician's union were scattered in a large dark room.
The door opened, and a ray of light shone in from the outside. A middle-aged man in Chinese clothes approached the room. He closed the door with his backhand, and darkness returned to the room. The killers were still scattered around, and the five
The dark magician stood up.
The middle-aged man asked calmly: "What is the result of this trip? Why did Aldos from the Province of Light concentrate all the troops on the border? Have you revealed the purpose of this trip?"
The leader of the dark magician put his hands behind his back and said in a hoarse voice: "The magician's union is more powerful than we imagined. This sneak attack did not succeed."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "You didn't succeed? To what extent did you fail? Could it be that Aldos's Bright Tiger Army was assembled because of you?"
The dark magician snorted coldly and said: "Don't talk to me like you're questioning your subordinates. This operation was indeed a complete failure. No one from the magician's union died in our hands. It was just the defenders in the Province of Light."
During the pursuit, we killed hundreds of ordinary soldiers."
The cold light in the middle-aged man's eyes could still be seen clearly even in the dim room, "A complete failure? Why did the plan fail completely if it was so thorough? The Magician's Guild could not have prepared in advance and lost so many people. What do you want me to do?"
Explain to the Grand Duke. Explain clearly what happened."
"Hmph, you don't need to explain it. I will go to the Grand Duke and tell you. There is no need to explain to you anymore. Prepare the carriage immediately. We have to rush back to Sunset City."
The middle-aged man exuded a trace of air-conditioning, and his tone was cold and emotionless, "Why can't you explain to me? Don't forget that I am the mastermind of this operation."
The black-robed magician was not at all intimidated by the other party's appearance, and said disdainfully: "Because you are not worthy of listening to my explanation. Don't forget who I am. Don't say you are just a little viscount, you are the Duke."
You are also very respectful to me. I don’t have time to argue with you here, so hurry up and prepare the car, I have to go back and report to the leader."
The middle-aged man's body was trembling slightly. He barely suppressed his overwhelming anger. He couldn't afford to offend the forces behind the dark magician. Even the Duke had to rely on them. He tried to control his voice as calmly as possible and said:
"The car is ready. You can leave now."
The black-robed magician said calmly: "Let's go." He walked towards the door first. Opening the door, he stopped under the light outside. His long back covered the middle-aged man, and he turned his back to the middle-aged man and said
: "Since you are the direct descendant of the Duke, I remind you. In the Magician's Guild, there is a young magician with superb martial arts skills. This operation was sabotaged by him. I didn't see what happened to his magic.
, but my martial arts skills are very good. Moreover, I used the summoning of demons in the Magician's Guild, but when we waited for the news later, we found that the taboo summoning of demons did not cause any casualties to the Magician's Guild. Think about it.
Let's go." After saying that, he left with the four magicians and the remaining killers. With a bang, the last person to go out closed the door forcefully, leaving only the middle-aged man known as the Viscount himself in the room.
The anger in the middle-aged man's heart was dispelled by the dark magician's last words. He murmured: "The devil's summons? That guy actually used the devil's summons. Doesn't he know how dangerous this magic is? And the magician
The union actually succeeded in using this magic. It seems that the young magician who is good at martial arts cannot be said to be a complete failure in this operation. At least he has found out the details of Huasheng. Unexpectedly, they also have hidden forces."
Thinking of this, a sinister look appeared on his pale face.
"Here comes." The middle-aged man shouted loudly. A slender figure pushed the door open to the gap and stepped in. A pleasant but cold voice sounded, "Master."
"Pass my order, all previous deployments are cancelled, and all personnel return to their posts and stand by. At the same time, order Eagle to sneak into the Province of Guangming, inquire about a young magician who knows martial arts, and report back immediately if found. Also,
Let the spies always pay attention to the movements of the troops gathered in Guangming Province, and report quickly if there is any abnormality."
"Yes, Master." The figure flashed, and the slender figure disappeared. An evil smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he followed the slender figure out of the room. The dark room became silent, and there was no trace of life anymore.
fluctuation.
It was getting dark, and the three of them found a sheltered hillside and stopped.
Yan Li sat down on the ground and said dissatisfiedly: "It's better to stay in the military camp for the night. It's better to have to go on the road in the evening. You have no village in front of you and no store in back. You have to sleep in the wilderness again."
Dumb said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Yanli, but those generals are so enthusiastic. I'm afraid that if I don't leave, I'll make them pester me so much that I can't even sleep at night."
Yan Li laughed and said: "Okay, no need to explain, I'm just kidding you. Come on, use your fire magic to light a bonfire. It's just March and the chill is still quite strong." He pointed.
Referring to the branches and some leaves on the ground that the three of them had just collected.
Ah-Dai agreed and chanted a spell that he had not used for a long time, "The fire element that fills the world! Please give me your warm power, condense it into a ball, and appear in my hand." Ah-Dai clearly felt the constant movement around him.
The fire elements that he had condensed, the little red lights continued to gather, and with a pop, Ah-Dai's hand lit up, and a dark blue fireball about ten centimeters in diameter burned like it came from hell. Ah-Dai was startled, and he
Has his mental power improved again? Why is the fireball so big, and the heat seems to have increased a lot.
Dui's magic power has increased, no, it should be said that his mental control has increased. In the past six months, when he was practicing the transformation every day, he concentrated on using his consciousness to control the vitality in his body and gradually transformed it into a solid form.
, and then transformed into various forms, which allowed him to continuously cultivate his mental power. Although he did not meditate deliberately, his mental power still improved to a certain extent, and he became more comfortable controlling the magic elements.
Duan stretched out his left hand and used it to generate Qi. A faint white light flashed on his finger. He flicked it on the fireball, and a little blue spark suddenly flew out. Although there was only a little spark, it fell into the firewood pile.
But the whole pile of branches was lit at once, and the dark night suddenly became brighter. The three of them felt their bodies warm at the same time. They put their hands next to the fire to warm their bodies. Yan Li said: "Ah-Dai, I'll go again
Find some branches, the fire is big, I guess these are not enough to burn for one night." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the small woods not far away.
Since the three of them had eaten too much today and were not hungry now, Ah-Dai and Shi Yan found some dead leaves left over from winter and piled them together to temporarily use them as beds in preparation for sleeping.
Rock said: "Brother Dumb, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to find the elves this time. If we want to visit every corner of the Sunset Empire, two years may not be enough. What's more, I don't know if other countries have gotten involved in those people.
The captive elves, if any, would be even more troublesome."
Duan thought for a while and said: "Brother Rock, we discussed last time that since those elves were kidnapped by the Thieves Guild, they should be sold to the big nobles who can pay the highest price. I think, since they are big nobles
, it shouldn’t be in some remote places. Although the Sunset Empire is very large, there shouldn’t be too many cities where big nobles live. As long as we look for these big cities as our primary targets, we should be able to gain something.
, as long as we can find the elves, we will definitely learn some information from their mouths, and it will be much more convenient to search again, what do you think?"
Shi Yan looked at Ah-Dai in shock, and it took him a while to react, and said with a smile: "Ah-Dai, when did you become smart? This is indeed a good idea!"
Dui scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I can't say that I'm smart, I just suddenly came up with this idea and said it out. Brother, do you think it's feasible?"
Rock laughed and said: "Of course it works. This may be the best way now. Come on, let me see, which big city is closest to us?" As he said that, he took out the map from his arms and spread it flat on the ground.
First find their own location, and then look around. "Well, this is it. We are in the Dark Province. The capital of the Dark Province, Dark City, is the largest city here and is very close to here. Let's start from
Find it here, and then we will search the capital cities of every province, with the final goal being the capital of the Sunset Empire."
Dumb nodded and said: "Okay, let's hurry up tomorrow and go directly to the Dark Province. I hope this first stop will be fruitful."
"Let me go, let me go, let me die, let me die. What's the point of living?" The cries kept coming, and Ah-Dai and Yan Yan looked at each other in shock, only to see Yan Li coming out of the woods.
He ran towards me, holding a person under his arm. The person was struggling constantly, and the crying sounds seemed to be coming from him.
Yan Li's body flew up and landed next to Ah-Dai and Yan Yan. He let go of his hand and threw the person he was holding onto the ground. He was a middle-aged man. His clothes were torn in many places and his face was pale.
He looked embarrassed and was thrown to the ground. He screamed in pain, got up, pointed at Yan Li's nose and cursed, "You short winter melon, who wants you to meddle in other people's business? Don't I even have the right to die?"
What? If I want you to take care of it, who do you think you are?" He spoke fluent Holy Vatican language so that all three of them could understand it.
His scolding touched Yan Li's inverse scale. There was a flash of black light, and a battle ax was placed on his neck. Yan Li said bitterly: "Who are you calling a short winter melon?"
The middle-aged man snorted and said: "Of course I'm talking about you, you go ahead and kill me. It's just right to kill me. I don't want to live anymore."
Ah-Dai and Yan Shi looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. Yan Yan asked, "Ali, what's going on? Why did you find someone to come back to Chai He?"
Yan Li said angrily: "This guy is a bastard. I just saw him in the woods about to hang himself. I kindly rescued him, but he scolded me. I should have let him die if I had known better."
Dui stood up, walked to the middle-aged man, put Yan Li's battle ax aside, and said harmoniously: "Uncle, why can't you think about something that makes you want to die? If you die, you won't be able to survive."
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at Dumb, "Nonsense, since I want to die, I don't want to live again. What's the point of living? I have nothing, nothing." As he spoke, his emotions
He became excited again. Ah-Dai pressed the middle-aged man's shoulders and injected a pure and pure Qi into his body. The Qi nourished the middle-aged man's body with vitality. His face became rosier and his mood gradually calmed down.
He came down and sat down on the ground, his eyes dull.
Dui glanced at the rock, squatted next to the middle-aged man, and asked: "Uncle, what happened that forced you to go to a dead end? Tell us, okay? We will try our best to help you."
The middle-aged man looked at Ah-Dai, only to realize that he was dressed as a magician. A glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he murmured: "I was originally a wealthy businessman in the dark city. A year ago, I still had a lot of wives and concubines, and my family was rich.
Wan Guan, but in just this year, I lost everything! What's the point of my life? I'm already over forty years old and there's no way I can make a comeback." As he said that, he put his
The encounter was revealed. It turned out that this person’s name was Wattana. He was originally engaged in the business of selling medicinal materials in the Dark Province. After more than ten years of hard work, he built a huge family business. He was middle-aged and had a fighting heart.
Gradually, he began to stick to what he had done. He bought a mansion and a shop in the Dark City, the capital of the Dark Province, and still made a living selling medicines. Due to the poor public security in the Dark City, fights often occurred, so there was a demand for medicines.
It's very big. His business is getting more and more prosperous. Even people from other provinces and cities will come to buy. After a few years, he has become somewhat famous in the Dark City. When people have money, they will gradually become depraved. Beauty
Gambling naturally became his hobby. Not only did he marry more than a dozen concubines, but he also started gambling under the instigation of several bad friends. Once gambling becomes addicted, the addiction will soon become bigger and bigger. At the beginning,
, he can still gamble casually, and losing a little money is nothing to him? But with the encouragement of his friends and his own gambling addiction, the bets have doubled.
Soon, he became a high-roller who spent a lot of money. The money kept disappearing like running water. After a year, not only did he lose all his property, but he also owed a bunch of gambling debts, including his own money.
Those concubines also ran away and became a lonely man. The day before yesterday, the people from the casino came to press for debts again. In order to escape with his life, he had no choice but to run out of the dark city and spent two days and two nights in fear.
This brought Wattana close to the edge of collapse. He felt that he had lost everything and was still being hunted while he was alive. It was better to take care of himself, so he took off his belt in the woods and prepared to hang himself. At this time, he happened to meet
Yanli, who went to collect firewood, rescued him.
After listening to Wattana's story, Ah-Dai took a breath of air. Although he didn't quite understand what gambling was, he was deeply surprised by the harm it caused, "Uncle, is gambling so terrible? I can actually force you to do so.
It's a dead end. It would be better if I didn't gamble."
Wattana smiled bitterly and said: "You said it easily. Gambling is more addictive than beautiful women. It can make you rich overnight, or it can make you poor. Although few people win, most people always
He enjoys it endlessly and cannot control himself at all. As soon as he has money in his hand, he will feel itchy. The gambling industry in Dark City is very developed. From 80-year-old people to teenagers, almost everyone does not gamble. Like
There are not only one or two people who have lost everything like me."
Rock snorted disdainfully and said: "You are all asking for it. You have a comfortable life, but you insist on throwing yourself into the abyss of gambling. You are the one who forced yourself into this dead end."
Wattana sighed and said painfully: "Yes! I forced myself. But, little brother, you don't know, when a person has too much money to spend and not play, he has already enjoyed what he should enjoy.
.His soul is so empty. In order to find a spiritual comfort, I embarked on this road of no return. I regret it now, but what is the use of regret? I have lost everything, that is not possible.
It's redeemable. For me now, maybe death is the best relief. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not gamble anymore. You should just let me die. I have no hope."
Dui said anxiously: "There is no need for the afterlife, you are not very old now! There is still time to develop again. Uncle, you have to cheer up, you can go back to your old business, and maybe you can restore your past glory!" Of course he is kind-hearted.
We can't watch Wattana commit suicide, we can only try our best to comfort him.
Wattana sighed and said: "It's impossible. I no longer have the energy of my youth, and I don't have any children. It can be said that I have no worries now. Thank you for listening to me. I'd better leave and find someone.
I want to end my life here so as not to cause you any trouble. Death is the best escape for me. Perhaps, the pursuers of the casino to press for debts are almost here."
Dumb grabbed Wattana who was about to stand up and said, "Uncle, don't be like this. Isn't it just some money? We'll pay it back for you!"
Wattana glanced at Dumb and said: "Although you are a magician, the amount I owe is not a small amount, it is tens of thousands of gold coins! That is not something that can be repaid. Hey——,
In the past, more than 10,000 gold coins were nothing to me, but things are different now. Even if I were sold by the pound, I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth even one percent."
Dumb was stunned for a moment and said: "Ten thousand gold coins?" This number reminded him of what Kari said to him when he was in Guangming City. As the elder of the Magician's Union, he can mobilize assets of less than ten thousand gold coins in any branch.
, isn’t it equivalent to having tens of thousands of gold coins? Since it is to save people, it can’t be considered a waste of money. Thinking of this, he resolutely said: “Isn’t it just tens of thousands of gold coins? Uncle, don’t worry, I will help you.
Then you can regain your life, and it’s not too late to start over again!”
Wattana's eyes lit up, he grabbed Ah-Dai's shoulders and said tremblingly: "Little brother, you, what did you say?"
Dui said firmly: "I said, I will help you pay off your gambling debts, so that you don't have to die."
The rock on the side shook his head secretly, thinking that Dumb didn't even know the details of this person, but he only listened to his words, and yet he was willing to help him so unreservedly.
Wattana's body softened and he collapsed to the ground. Tears of excitement continued to flow down, and he murmured: "My child, you are such a good person, you are such a good person! I, I am saved again. I am saved again. Look.
Come on, God is really taking care of me, allowing me to meet noble people like you."
Dumb helped Wattana up and comforted him: "Uncle, don't be like this, we can't see you go to a dead end! You can rest here with us for one night, and we will go to the Dark City tomorrow."
Wattana kept panting, staring blankly at the red fire in front of him, muttering speechless.
Dui took out the dry food and water, handed it to Wattana, and said, "Uncle, please eat something first, and then go to bed early. When tomorrow comes, everything will be fine."
Wattana took the dry food and water and choked with sobs: "Little brother, how can I repay you!"
Dumb said: "You don't need to repay me, you just need to live well. Eat quickly." Wattana seemed to be hungry for a long time. He stuffed the dry food into his mouth desperately, and when he was about to choke, he
Take a sip of water. Dumb looked at Wattana eating and smiled with satisfaction. For him, helping others is the greatest happiness, which will bring him a sense of satisfaction.
Rock pulled Ah-Dai to his side and whispered: "Ah-Dai, there are no good people in this Sunset Empire. How do you know this guy is not a liar? It's better to be careful. Besides, ten thousand gold coins is not a small amount, you really
Do you want to help him?"
Dumb nodded and said: "Brother, look at how pitiful Uncle Wattana is! He is about to commit suicide, so how could he be pretending? Don't worry too much. Although ten thousand gold coins are a lot, in order to save people, it is still
It’s worth it! I don’t think the Magician’s Guild will blame me.”
Rock sighed and said: "Then let's take it one step at a time. It just so happens that we are here for the first time and we need a guide." He couldn't bear to embarrass Ah-Dai, but he secretly paid attention to the sudden appearance of Wattana. He thought to himself
, as long as you show your fox tail and do anything unfavorable to us, I will definitely have your head removed. Since entering the Dark Province, Rock has been very cautious. After all, this is the dark place of civilization across the continent. According to legend,
, everything here is full of evil atmosphere...
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Wattana, a man who was familiar with the terrain, the four of them set out on the road to the Dark City. Along the way, Wattana remained taciturn and rarely spoke except for guiding the path. He only occasionally spoke with a full voice.
He looked at Ah-Dai with grateful eyes. The closer he got to the Dark City, the more worried he looked on his face.
The Dark City, the capital of the Dark Province, seems to be even bigger than the Light City. The bustling crowds are constantly shuttling back and forth from the wide city gate. On the surface, there is no indication that this is a city with developed dark forces.
, it seemed that it was not much different from the City of Light. When he arrived at the city gate, Wattana stopped, with a look of pain on his face, as if the door in front of him was not the gate of the city, but the gate of hell.
"Uncle, don't worry. Since I promised to help you pay back the money, I will definitely be able to do it. Let's go in." Dumb comforted Wattana while taking out the elf bracelet from his arms. The bracelet was slightly warm.
, unexpectedly flashed a faint green light. Dumb looked at the rock. Both of their faces were filled with excitement. The bracelets had told them that there were elves in the dark city.
Yan Yan whispered: "We are so lucky. I didn't expect that we found the target so smoothly at our first stop." As long as we find one Elf tribesman and then ask about the whereabouts of other Elf tribesmen, it will be much easier, Yan Yan said in a low voice.
At this time, Li also noticed the change in the bracelet on Ah-Dai's hand. He was about to shout happily, but his mouth was covered by the rock and he glared at him before calming down. Wattana didn't seem to notice their changes and remained low-key.
He was thinking about his own thoughts.
Dui put the bracelet in his arms, looked at the gate of the Dark City, and said confidently: "Let's go." My fellow elf friends who are suffering, you are about to be freed. I will definitely save you from the sea of suffering. You must
Hold on! Thinking of this, Ah-Dai's eyes flashed with perseverance.
Walking to the city gate, Wattana suddenly stopped, his body convulsed slightly, and whispered: "Brother Dumb, I'd better not go in. I, I'm afraid I will meet someone who is trying to force me to pay my debts."
Dumb stopped Wattana's body that was about to shrink back, "Uncle, don't be afraid, didn't I promise to help you pay back the money? If you pay back the money, those people will not do anything to you again. Come on, let's go in."
Then, he pulled Wattana and walked towards the city. How could Wattana resist Dumb's power? The group of four finally entered the dark city.
The flow of people coming and going in the Dark City was more than double that of the Light City. They all looked like they were in a hurry, and many people had a decadent expression on their faces. Having entered the city, Wattana relaxed a little.
, whispered to Ah-Dai: "Look, those people with decadent and tired faces all gambled all night and lost money. I used to be one of them too!"
