In the Principality of Yali, there is a border city a few hundred miles away from the border of the no-man's land on the Pamiji Plateau.
The local name is 'Ephesus,' but outsiders like to call it Shepherd's City. Because the icefield blue sheep, which is popular in the food industry of the Principality of Yali, is produced here, and almost every farmer living here has its own sheep farm.
Because of the existence of a large number of sheep farms, Shepherd City is not surrounded by tall walls like other cities.
Shepherd City is a semi-open city, without city gates, but with guards on certain roads, somewhat like Waterglass in the fairy tale world.
However, although Shepherd City is a semi-open city, it does not mean that the city is not safe. Because it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is still a snow-capped mountain, and to the west is adjacent to the Xuenau River that comes from the permafrost river in the Pamiji Plateau. There is only one side that can enter the city from a flat road.
And this side also happens to have several steam train tracks. Not only the transportation company has to guard the tracks, but the soldiers of Shepherd City also strictly control it for safety reasons. So all in all, safety is guaranteed here.
Near a square in the center of Shepherd City, three figures appeared out of thin air.
There is a commercial area around, and people come and go, but after the three figures appeared, no one looked at them, as if they did not exist.
It was not until these three people moved that a few people noticed them, but there were too many people here. Even if they saw them suddenly appear, some people just thought they were dazzled and didn't think much about it.
Moreover, two of these three people are dressed as nobles, no matter their manners or aura, and most people would not dare to look at them, let alone think deeply.
The three walked down the square road and soon came to a small hotel.
However, instead of entering the hotel, they walked to the edge of the hotel and entered an alley sandwiched between two tall buildings.
The alley is very dark, and the floor has grown moss because of the lack of light all the year round.
"Teacher, where are we going now?" It was the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes who spoke, his forehead drooping down, covering the position of his right eye.
The young man was Angor who had just returned from the abyss. As for the object of his questioning, it was naturally the famous Southern Territory God of War - 'Master of Illusions' Sanders.
"Go to see an old friend of mine, and drop by to inquire about the current situation on the Pamiji Plateau." Sandston paused, his eyes slowly turning behind Angel.
Popota, who was covered by the cloak, trembled a bit, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sanders' eyes were dark, and only a gray halo flashed on the earrings, and Popota's figure disappeared.
"Let him stay in Gravity Garden first." After Sanders finished speaking, he said to Angel, "Come with me."
Along the long alley, they came to the end.
There was a gas lamp hanging on the wall. The dim yellow light was not very bright, but it illuminated the swashbuckling characters beside a gate at the end very clearly.
"If you are willing to burn the light of life for a rose. You must be crazy, I think."
Angel softly read out the swashbuckling characters written in this row, and frowned slightly, he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Moreover, he did not understand why such a paragraph was engraved in front of the door.
Sanders said: "This sentence is from "The Flower Seller Dancing for Sin," which is meaningless. But in this book, there is a demon called Zslade, who makes the protagonist from a poor man into a poor man. The wealthy businessman eventually became a knight and a general, and the protagonist paid his life, soul and emotion accordingly. Finally, the protagonist was with a flower girl. He thought he had broken through the limitations of the devil and gained love. But after they When they got married, Zslade said that there would be a test, if the protagonist can pass, then he will not only have love, but also the lost soul and lifespan will be restored."
"The protagonist agreed, so the demon turned the protagonist into a vicissitudes of life beggar, no handsome appearance, no wealth to rival the country, want to test the flower girl's choice. If the flower girl chooses to continue to marry him, the devil's The test will fail."
"The protagonist thinks that the flower girl is still the kind and beautiful girl when they first met, but she doesn't know that in their relationship, the flower girl has been dazzled and blinded by the money. After tasting the life of a rich lady, how can she be willing to change? The protagonist of old and poor. So the flower girl left the moment before entering the marriage hall."
After listening to the story told by Sanders, Angel twitched the corners of his mouth: "It does sound meaningless, and the devil will not be so kind."
"But this vulgar story is very famous in the Principality of Yali, and the newspaper that serialized it has become the number one newspaper in the Principality of Yali."
Angel nodded noncommittally: "Depicting the betrayal of women and describing the loyalty of the protagonist are what traditional aristocrats love. Because the story is often the opposite of the truth."
Sanders didn't make a comment, just smiled, stepped forward and pushed open the door at the end.
"Come on, go in and see my old friend, that kind demon."
Angel was not surprised. When Sanders told this story, he had basically guessed who the owner of this room was.
Entering the house, only to find that this is an antique shop.
The glass showcases inlaid with gold rims are full of antiques from various countries and periods. Among them, Angel even discovered a spherical navigation instrument from the flash silver era of the Feilan Continent.
Exotic treasures, dazzling array.
Moreover, the light here is very sufficient, the light collides with the gold and silver utensils, even a very ordinary item will make people feel very dazzling.
However, for Sanders and his apprentices, the antiques here are all ordinary things, and they cannot attract much attention.
At this moment, where they were facing, something like a metal box suddenly descended in a spiral. In terms of volume, Angel first thought of the coffin, but when the door of the coffin was opened, Angel realized that it was probably a... mechanical elevator
There was an old man in a robe in the elevator. He stooped with his back to Angel and Sanders. While talking, he turned around slowly, and he was full of style.
"Those who can come in must have something in their hearts. Dear guest, if you plan to trade your life, it's still your spirit..." However, halfway through Qifan'er, he suddenly stopped. Because he turned his head to face Sanders' face.
"Uh... Ahahaha, it turned out to be Your Excellency Phantom Demon, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now." The old man smiled awkwardly, and the Qi Fan'er just now fell to the bottom in an instant.
He came to the side a little embarrassed and pressed a few buttons.
I only heard the sound of gears turning in my ears, and after a while, the table and chairs turned up from the ground out of thin air.
Admiration flashed in Angel's eyes. Although it was just a simple take-off and landing device, it was done very delicately.
After everyone was seated, the old man looked at Angel, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Your Excellency Phantom Demon, this is your new apprentice? I remember, it should be the 'music box warlock' Angel, who is widely rumored in the wizarding world. ?"
Angel's mouth froze, and he said dumbly: "I am indeed Angel, but I don't recognize the music box warlock."
The old man said with a smile: "Now your nickname has not been decided yet, this is what we called in private. Sky Machine City can't find your record in the Sky Tower, otherwise, you can directly use your name in the sky. The name recorded by the Sky Tower."
Angel said without hesitation: "That's even worse!"
Angel's reaction was a little excited, which made the old man's eyes flash with doubts. He looked back at Sanders, but saw a rare smile flashing in Sanders' eyes.
The old man seems to have understood something. It is estimated that Angel's name in the Sky Tower is somewhat indescribable, which is normal... When he was in the barbaric cave before, his registered name was "Saint King of Truth". If you really want to go out with this name, it's weird not to be laughed at.
But he also understands this kind of mentality. As a boy, he always feels that the world is revolving around him, isn't it normal
Thinking of this, he suggested to Angel: "If you want to correct your name, you might as well pass the news to some influential magazines, or go directly to the Sky Tower to re-register a name, that's fine."
Angel nodded. Although the name is not a big thing, but every time I meet someone in the future, I call myself a music box warlock, which is so boring, so I can only make music boxes.
Sanders finally spoke at this time, and said to Angel: "He is an old friend of mine, and you can guess the name, it is Zslade in "The Flower Seller Dancing for Sin". However, he is not a demon, he is also from a barbaric cave, but he has been away for almost two hundred years, right?"
"Accurately speaking, it's one hundred and ninety-six years." Zslade sighed and said, "At the beginning, I was only one year away from Your Excellency Phantom Demon, and now you are famous in the Southern Region, and I am still stuck in A first-level wizard can't make an inch. Alas, I don't know if I will be able to embark on the road of true knowledge in my lifetime."
"Oh, don't talk about these sad things." Zslade tapped on the metal tabletop, and a mechanical doll floated over, holding a plate in his hand, but the plate was not food, but a few Small bag of pale green powder.
"Come and have a taste, the new products that I picked up from the wizard's market a few days ago."
Zslade put the small bag in front of Angel and Sanders, but neither of them opened the bag. Only Zslade himself opened the bag, scooped a spoonful of the light green powder into the water glass, and drank it freely.
After drinking it, Zslade realized that neither Angel nor Sanders had used it. He sighed: "Alas, you have exactly the same personality as you did back then, and you don't know how to enjoy it at all."
"Relying on mana algae powder to release Shulomon is not a real enjoyment. If you are still addicted to it and want to embark on the road of true knowledge, it is indeed hopeless." Sanders bluntly pointed out the mana algae powder's Bad, this thing is addictive. Although it is not harmful to wizards, it is a waste of time, energy, and money.
Zslade paused, sighed, and handed the remaining mana powder to the mechanical doll.
"You didn't make a special trip to teach me, right? I haven't asked, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
