From star abyss

A dark wind prevailed over Port Victory, and the windows of every house were closed.

Such a scenery is really a bit abnormal in this city. According to common sense, the tropical monsoon from the Futon Sea will bring sufficient water vapor, coupled with sufficient light from the sunrise trees, Victory Port has always had a comfortable tropical marine climate. , cloudy days and dry and cold weather are not associated with it.

Quinn Mahamut was holding his pipe and looking out the window. His eyes were filled with purple brilliance characteristic of the void, as if he wanted to cross the leaden sky and monitor the trajectory of the route.

However, even with the help of the power of the void, all he could see was the fog rising from the sea, blocking his brother's fleet heading south.

"The situation is not good, Master."

Butler Meht walked up to him and said worriedly:

"This dry and cold wind is very strange. According to many sailors and captains, there are high-density ice floes under the sea. Many ships have suffered losses. Now the ship repair yards in Victory are full of queues."

Quinn shook his head: "It's not a big deal. The environment of Jingyuan is ever-changing, and heat will spread for no reason. A piece of ice can even heat a cup of water to boiling. This dry and cold wind will freeze the sea water, which is not a strange thing. "

"That's true. The environment in Jingyuan is full of surprises."

The housekeeper glanced at Quinn and said:

"But it's a coincidence that Aisil and his thugs disappeared on the day Yin Feng appeared."

Hearing this, Quinn Mahamut picked up his pipe, seemed to want to take a puff, frowned, and finally said:

"Aisiel is the leader of the sixth team. The one who keeps an eye on outsiders should be pretty good. Although he has not converted to the path, it is more than enough to teach mortals and stowaways a lesson."

Mortals in the context of Jingyuan refer to people in the Kapa stage (10) who have no path.

In fact, due to insufficient educational resources, the overall illiteracy rate in Jingyuan is much higher than that in Layyuan, and the road penetration rate is even more shockingly low.

But the strong basic conditions are here. For those gangsters who have sneaked down, Ai Xier who is at the Lambda level (11), we should deal with them like eating peanuts, one bite at a time.

"Ashir has been missing for two days."

The steward said:

"The members of the team also disappeared."

"The whole team, four good thugs are gone." Quinn frowned: "Have you encountered any hard problems? It's not like you have offended someone with narrative civilization."

"Young master, you know that if you mess with the narrative civilization, they will have wiped Victory Port off the map by now."

The steward explained:

"I asked the people he was close to and found out that Aixier had previously targeted two illegal immigrants. He stayed at the Stray Hotel and did some menial jobs. He ate and drank the free tea and drinks provided by the hotel every day."

"Hmph, who would have expected that two quarrels would end up on the iron plate - do you think you are writing a third-rate novel?"

Quinn wasn't angry that one of his subordinates was killed. He couldn't see the identity, background and abilities of the other party. This was purely a personal issue, and it wouldn't make him angry if he was just a small boss.

What really made him uneasy was the timing.

Yin Feng and the disappearance came at the same time, and it was exactly when he was reestablishing communication with the void.

"No one knows that Asheer is missing, right?" Quinn asked.

"I asked the people below to find an excuse, saying that I was arranging for him to go out of the city to do something."

"Well done. Brother is not here now, and the congressmen have started to look down on us. We must not let anyone take the opportunity to seize the period when we are communicating with the void."

"Are you worried about the Commonwealth Arbitration Court? As far as I know, Jingyuan has a neutral attitude towards Void."

"Neutral? Neutrality is relative. If a dwarf fights with a strong man, and you look on and say that you are permanently neutral, then you are supporting the strong man. If we are really exposed, the Arbitration Court will not let us go. .”

Although he is not as smart and decisive as his elder brother, Quinn is not stupid and has a clear grasp of the overall situation:

"Due to the large-scale activities of [society] during this period, many people have fallen into trouble. In recent years, due to the closure of Qianyuan Port and the supervision of trade in the void, the narrative union has been loosened, but our family took the opportunity to convert I’m afraid they still can’t accept the matter of the Void Path.”

"Those two gangsters may retaliate, but at most they will kill a few minions and will not threaten us. The gangsters are gangsters after all. Once they do anything excessive, they will inevitably be besieged by the entire Victory Port. "

Even so, the housekeeper still gave solid advice:

"Considering the general situation, how about you endure it for a while? A trip back from the north to the south only lasts for two or three years. If it doesn't work, you can write a letter of divorce to Lord Elliot and let Lord One-Armed Gun go back first, but It only takes four or five days.”

"That's not enough. After all, we still have 'that child' in our hands, and ordinary people have no right to trouble us... This time, my eldest brother placed his parents in the countryside before setting off. I'll talk to him later. .”

Quinn thought for a while, and immediately used magic to edit the letter. Looking out the window at the gray-white sea, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked:

"Meht, do you think this evil wind has anything to do with those two gangsters?"

"I don't know, Master. Many roads have the ability to affect the weather, but if it is the power of roads, then the guardians of Victory Port and the Overlord King's hotel should post notices or issue reports explaining the source. .”

"Isn't it the power of the road?"

Quinn murmured:

"Then, besides roads, what other force can directly change the weather?"

"The weather in Jingyuan is not that easy to control. Even demigods can only passively cause weather disasters. The only ones who can do this are phantom beasts and holy beasts that are as famous as gods."

Meht thought for a while and said:

"The most representative one is probably the dragon."

Snap!

A bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the thick clouds and struck straight on the top of the Mahamut family's attic. Fierce sparks immediately bloomed, and electric sparks instantly filled the metal parts of the entire house.

Almost instantly, the entire house was set on fire. The servants and family members were startled, but they quickly calmed down and went about putting out the fire.

"It's really weird. It's such a dry day, but there's thunder?"

Meht said in surprise:

"Although the clouds outside are thick, there is no rain at all."

"It's not the scent of magic either."

Quinn's eyes showed the unique purple color of the void. He scanned around and found no elements of magic.

"This is just a purely natural phenomenon. Perhaps there is too much accumulation of thunder and lightning elements in the air." Macht said: "It seems that it is necessary to ask the guardian of Victory Port to take action to cause a rainfall or absorb the thunder elements. "

However, the butler's statement failed to reassure Quinn.

After a while, the commotion within the family caught Quinn's attention. Instead of the temperature lowering as the fire was put out, the strong smoke made him frown.

The fire was showing signs of getting out of control.

"Meht, wait a moment."

He opened the door and was immediately overcome by the strong smell of sulfur. Quinn quickly covered her nose, grabbed a passing maid, and asked:

"What's going on? You guys have been putting out the fire for a long time, but why is it getting bigger?"

Unexpectedly, the maid didn't care about his identity and just shouted:

"Run quickly, Young Master, there are monsters in the sea of ​​fire! Anyone who gets close will be eaten by the fire."

"Monster?" Quinn grabbed the other person: "Tell me clearly, what exactly is it?"
