That night.
The night shrouded the surrounding areas like a huge curtain, and the land was quiet, not even the chirping of insects, as if it had fallen into a permanent sleep. But if you look down, you will find a lot of liveliness in many places, like a murmur in a deep sleep.
Winter has arrived, but the world is still moving.
On the plain, a large river rushed forward. The water was mixed with broken ice and made a "swishing" sound as it flowed.
"Creak, creak, creak", wooden boats drove carefully in the river, avoiding ice floes and reefs, and finally arrived at the dock. The poor coolies on the dock, wearing thin clothes, swarmed into the warehouse of the wooden ship under the light of the lights, laboriously moved the goods out, and moved them one by one to the carriage that had been waiting for a long time.
In a moment, the porters were sweating profusely, and more than a dozen carriages were filled. Accompanied by a shout from the groom, the whip was swung out, making a sound in the air, and the horses moved forward quickly, pulling the loaded carriage towards the silhouette of the city in the distance.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the city gate, and after being inspected by the soldiers, quickly drove into the city.
Somewhere in Emerald City, the doors of an entire warehouse have been opened, waiting for carriages to file in and unload the goods. After dawn, these goods will quickly flow into the large and small shops in Cuijin City and be sold to people in need, earning their owners a large amount of gold and silver coins.
In other places, in many corners inside and outside Cuijin City, there are a large number of other people busy, doing different things for food and clothing, profit or other things.
In a dead end somewhere in the city, a group of people were breathing heavily and fist-fighting, fighting for the territory to collect protection money.
In front of a closed medical clinic on a street, several people banged on the door anxiously to wake up the doctor to treat the noble who had a sudden illness.
In a certain gold-selling cave in the center of the city, there was feasting, singing and dancing, and the nobles threw out large amounts of money, causing the graceful bodies to scream.
In the thatched house next to the plain farmland, the light shines through, and the three thieves are counting the day's profits and dividing the loot according to the amount of effort.
On the bank of the river, accompanied by a scream, a body was pushed into the river, murderous and silenced...
Emerald City is different from cities in other countries, and different from the Blue Lion City in the Blue Lion Kingdom. Due to the flow of the Emerald River, it has a different kind of prosperity and more nightlife.
After all, in an era similar to the Middle Ages, rivers were the real transportation thoroughfares. An extremely wide river was more important than a highway on the modern earth.
Inside and outside Cuijin City, it was so lively and noisy, and a pair of eyes looked at it all from high in the sky.
Richard meditated out of body. The transparent belt connected the physical body. The spiritual body floated hundreds of meters above Cuijin City, looking down at everything with a strange calmness.
In fact, anyone who looks at the world from this perspective will feel aloof, unaffected by emotions, and extremely calm. That's why there is the term God's perspective.
Richard looked at the scene below him and quickly recalled what had happened recently.
This is already his seventh day in Cuijin City. When he first met with Gro and gave him some psychological counseling, Gro left with a lot of worries. And he rented a small courtyard in Cuijin City and lived with Pandora for a long time, conducting research while waiting for the arrival of the wizard from the mainland.
Everything during this period was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan. It was not the first time that I had been out of the body. I was already familiar with the layout of the entire Cuijin City. In the process, I also saw a lot of interesting things that happened at night, such as a noble young woman who was having a tryst with her lover and was caught raping, or a gang boss who was killed by an enemy pawn in a gang fight, etc.
Turning his head in the air, Richard looked in a certain direction of Cuijin City and saw a large building, which was the royal palace.
Although many places in the palace were dim, some of them were bright.
The new king who had just succeeded to the throne, who was Gro's eldest brother, was extremely diligent and stayed up all night every day to deal with political affairs. Ministers and nobles were constantly summoned to the palace overnight for discussions. Therefore, the kitchen, stables, and reception rooms of the palace were all brightly lit, and people and vehicles were constantly passing by on the bluestone avenue.
I wonder what Gro is doing
Richard thought suddenly.
Since Gro left with the ether, he should have tried meditation many times, but he has never seen the other person leave his body. Is the opponent's wizard talent really that bad
Thinking about it, Richard controlled his consciousness to quickly float above the palace, and then found the palace where Gro was staying with ease.
After stopping above Grotto's palace for a long time, he found that there was no movement below. Richard controlled his consciousness to pass through the roof and landed in Grotto's bedroom.
Gro's bedroom was large and empty.
Perhaps to ensure that the meditation was not affected, there was no maid or guard, and only Gro was lying upright on the bed.
Richard approached and saw an ether bottle beside the bed, while Gro was lying on the bed, motionless, like a corpse. Deep inside Gro's body, his consciousness was constantly vibrating, as if he wanted to break away from the shackles of the body. It's just that the restraint from the body is extremely strong. No matter how hard Groo keeps trying, he can't break through. He tried again and again, but failed. Slowly, sweat broke out on Gro's face, showing an obviously anxious and tired look.
After looking at it, Richard estimated that according to normal development, if Gro tried a few more times, the power of his conscious body would be exhausted, and he would fall into a deep sleep and wait until the next morning to wake up.
In this regard, Richard determined two things:
First, Gro still hasn't given up hope of becoming a wizard. It may be because of inner reluctance, or it may be because of other things, but in short, I am still working hard.
Second, Grotto really doesn’t have any wizard talent, otherwise it wouldn’t be so difficult to leave the body.
Shaking his head, Richard originally wanted to leave and go do other things, but he took a look at Gro's struggle and decided to do a good deed and help him.
Richard controlled his consciousness, moved closer to Gro, stretched out his hand, and touched Gro's body.
Gro's body seemed to feel something, and he was a little wary. His physical muscles subconsciously contracted, and his conscious body also dodges a little.
Richard didn't care about this. He reached directly into Gro's body, grabbed Gro's consciousness, exploded with spiritual power, and pulled Gro's consciousness out of the body.
Richard felt like he was pulling a person out of a swamp. The process was full of resistance, but fortunately he succeeded in the end.
With a "pop" sound, Gro's conscious body left his body and floated in mid-air. A transparent belt behind his neck was connected to his body.
Richard felt relieved and looked at Gro's consciousness, ready to say hello, but found that Gro's consciousness was floating in mid-air without any response, as if dead.
Um, this...
