My Magic Age
Chapter 1596 145. This Night
The cracks in the wall were covered with moss. I reached out and touched the stone wall beside me. Even the surrounding walls were warm. This kind of stuffiness made people breathless.
I and the women of Yingli did not stay in the alley. We crossed the alley and came to the street opposite.
Of course, we can avoid killing people in narrow alleys, so we should try to avoid them. I asked Katarina, Justus and the minotaur Luka to stay behind to deal with the two trackers. Soon the three of them caught up from behind. Justus walked side by side with me. He asked puzzledly: "Don't you want to ask who ordered them to follow you?"
"It doesn't matter who it is." I said to Justus.
Justus paused.
I turned around and said to him: "I just want to give them a warning, and it is also a warning to others who are spying on us, so that they can think seriously, so as not to regard us as ordinary sheep."
A magic caravan sped past, bringing a gust of cool wind.
Ying Li and Su walked in the front. In the window of the shop in front, there was a set of pure white leather dress. The cut of the leather dress was very unique. However, in order to pursue the style, the product designer added some hollow designs to the leather dress, which made it lose the possibility of becoming a magic pattern leather armor. Su stood outside the window and seemed eager to try. It seemed that he wanted to go in and try it.
"You mean, even we are the prey of these people?" Justus followed me and asked.
Looking at the prosperous street market in front of me, people came and went on the street. The streets of Qiyan City looked more noisy than the water street of Haiyinsi City. I said to Justus: "Look at these streets. There are so many shops here. The streets here are clean and tidy. A large number of adventurers gather in this city. It is these trading houses in the city that make Qiyan City have such a prosperous night view."
Justus and the minotaur Luka followed the direction of my finger and looked at the shops with a dazzling array of goods in the windows.
"...But you may have forgotten that the merchants in this city have not traded with the Kingdom of Etia for at least a year. It has become more dangerous for adventure groups to enter the Savage Swamp. Even if there are some adventure groups in the Savage Swamp now, there are not too many. We can see from the guides who are looking for work on the streets that not many adventure groups are willing to go to the Savage Swamp at this time." I said.
At this moment, I seemed to understand the feelings of the guides I met on the street during the day. Ordinary guides couldn't find work in the city and it was difficult to make a living, so they desperately looked for work everywhere. And those experienced guides knew what kind of dangers there were in the Savage Swamp, but they were not willing to accept such dangerous tasks.
Justus seemed to understand what I meant.
The minotaur Luka looked silly, and his expression seemed a little confused.
I said to Justus and the Minotaur Luka, "So what do you think makes this border city so prosperous... one year after the war broke out with the Lizardmen?"
"Shouldn't it be like the town of Trum, where adventurers come to the town and bring a lot of wealth to the town?" Justus had a different opinion on this. He retorted, "This city has gathered a large number of adventurers. They spend money on clothing, food, housing, and transportation every day. Isn't this bringing new income to the city?"
The Minotaur shook his head hard, which was about to explode, and followed silently.
"It is undeniable that part of the wealth of the town of Trum comes from those adventurers, but most of it comes from the Black Forest. The natives there bring all kinds of resources from the forest to the town, which brings rich wealth to the town of Trum." I asked Justus, "And the wealth of Qiyan City comes from the dangerous wild swamp, but now there are not many adventure groups willing to take risks. Why do you think this city is still so prosperous?"
"Is this why you deal with the two trackers?" Justus looked at me deeply.
"Isn't this reason enough?" I stood there and said to Justus.
Justus shrugged his shoulders, put one hand on the broad shoulders of the Minotaur Luka, and walked straight past me.
He understood what I meant, and we didn't continue the topic.
Minotaur Luka whispered to Justus: "What were you two talking about just now?"
Justus and Luka walked forward arm in arm, and said as they walked: "He just told me that he smelled the blood in the city."
"Ah! That's it?" Luka said with a confused look on his face.
"That's it!" Justus grinned and showed a mouthful of sharp teeth, and strode forward with Luka.
After dealing with the two trackers following us, the feeling of danger disappeared completely, and my magic perception extended to the surroundings, and no one else was found.
Watching Ying Li and Su walking hand in hand in front, Annie walked behind them with a worried look on her face. She probably also felt that Qiyan City was full of dangers. She looked a little hesitant, probably a little regretful that she agreed to Su so easily and brought her to Qiyan City. However, although Qiyan City now looks superficial, in those dark corners of the city, danger is like a jungle beast squatting there to choose people to eat...
"Are you worried about Su's safety?" I walked to Annie's side and said to her.
"No..." After Annie finished speaking, she lowered her head with some guilt, looked at her shoes and walked forward step by step.
I looked at Annie's side face, and I suddenly saw Sister Guoguo in front of me. After blinking my eyes, Annie's outline became clear. I said to Annie: "She is far stronger now than she is in your eyes, and You and she have a reason to go on an adventure in the wild swamp..."
Anne looked at me doubtfully.
"...Want to know why I became the adopted son of Liante and Fanny?" I wanted to tell Annie the story of Sister Guoguo, but I hesitated for a while and didn't know where to start.
Anne was waiting for me to continue, when she heard Helena shouting sweetly from the window of a shop in front: "Jijia, come here quickly..."
I opened my hand to Anne apologetically and said, "Here we come!" The communication with Anne ended in a hurry.
Helena held my arm affectionately, and she smiled like a sweet sunflower. She said to me with smiling eyes: "You want to give us a reference, how about this set of leather armor?"
"fine……"
After saying that, I couldn't help but look back at Anne behind me.
Qiyan City is much more lively at night than during the day. Under the neon lights, you can always see groups of young people wandering on the streets. Some small vendors who are not seen during the day do not know where they came from. When I ran out, there was more smell of food on the street, which gave me the feeling that Qiyan City was not in those high-end restaurants, but hidden in the food stalls in the streets and alleys.
A group of us were walking on the street. Whether it was Helena who was the most beautiful person in the team, Su who was fresh and fresh like a little white flower, or sexy and sexy like Becky, Annie and Catalina, they all had their own differences. It's hard not to be the focus of those young people's eyes. During this period of time, Ying Li's appearance has been changing subtly. The shadow of Princess Ariel can be seen on her body, and that flawless face is constantly reappearing on her face. Ying Li is a little bit Not used to being peeked at by many people, a faint blush appeared on his face.
Some young people would boldly come over and ask if we needed a guide. When Anne asked them if they were willing to go to the wild swamp, the faces of the young guides immediately changed color, and they sneered at us and said, 'Don't be kidding, you guys With so many ladies in the adventure group, the most they can do is wander around the rainforest in the north of Qiyan City. Who would go on an adventure in the wild swamp at this time... Oh, that can no longer be called an adventure, it should be said to be death. Please give up this idea of sending yourself to death! The world is so beautiful, isn’t it good to live? ’
It was as if our offer to go to the wild swamp became a decent way to reject these guides.
…
Returning to the Huolien Hotel, I met a group of young guides at the door of the hotel. Before they could gather around and ask questions, a tauren warrior as strong as an ogre came forward, opened the door of the hotel, and forcefully opened the hotel door with a cold blow. His eyes stopped the guides from approaching.
Luka and Justus opened a room in the Huolien Hotel. For the tall tauren warriors, the Huolien Hotel has special large rooms to entertain them. This kind of room is on the first floor of the hotel. The night shift manager cautiously led the way, constantly looking back at the tauren warrior behind him, and said to the tauren: "If you feel that the quilt is not long enough, we can provide you with a longer blanket..."
"It's okay. If the bed here isn't that big, I can sleep on the floor!" The tauren Luka said gently. He never wanted to cause trouble to others.
I settled down with Justus and Minotaur Ruka, and then took Katarina upstairs with me.
When I walked to the third floor of the hotel, I found that the Yingli girls were actually sitting on the bench in front of the balcony admiring the night view of Qiyan City. Senior Erica also participated in it. She was wearing a tight-fitting vest and a pair of clothes that looked a little different. Wearing bloomers and a pair of soft shoes, with a cup of lemon tea in front of him, he looked like he had just woken up and his hair looked wet. When he saw Catalina and I walking upstairs, he asked me: "Find your two No friends?"
I squeezed in between Ying Li and Helena, sat down on the bench, and said to Senior Erica: "Not yet... but I have posted a mission to the Thieves Guild, and I believe there will be one for them soon. News.”
For this wild swamp, I hope Senior Erica can know more recipes for antidote potions.
Senior Erica said to us at this time: "I just heard from the travelers in the hotel that recently there have been inexplicable disappearances of adventure groups in Qiyan City one after another. Even the knights of the guard camp of Qiyan City have been involved in this matter."
Helena's warm body was half leaning in my arms, and she said to me with some worry: "The adventure group disappeared... Could it be because the wild swamp is too dangerous, and all the adventure groups that go there are in danger?" "
Becky sat on the other side of Helena and said with a smile: "Maybe it was the lizard tribe in the wild swamp that blocked the swamp jungle."
"Can you still laugh?" Helena asked Becky with her eyes widened.
Becky hugged Helena's neck and said with a smile: "What's the point! We've never been afraid of the Niburu spider-men in the black forest of the Hierro plane, so why should we be afraid of the natives in the wild swamp?"
Su looked at Becky with envy, as if she was very envious of her being able to fight the Nibru Spider-Man in the Hierro plane.
Before the temple sent down the oracle of the Statue of Liberty, the Green Empire's army would be accompanied by combat priests and priests in the war. Combat priests could bless the knights with holy faith, and priests would perform powerful healing spells on the battlefield. Because of these clergy, the combat effectiveness of the Green Empire's legions was at least twice as strong as it is now, so whether there are priests in the team makes a big difference in a battle.
Su is not a priest in the temple system, but she has holy power in her body. Under the guidance of the scholar Sora, she can perform prayer healing. She is a very special existence, and her body contains two completely different powers. I have always had a hunch that her dark body is much stronger than the holy chakra, so her importance is self-evident to our adventure group, but she is not too aware of her own strength at present.
Annie probably doesn't know these things either.
"Don't guess, let's go to the Magic Guild in Qiyan City tomorrow to learn about the situation, and then talk about it later." After saying that, I stood up and prepared to go back to my room to sleep.
Catalina naturally went back to the room with me. When I walked to the door of the room, I found that Yingli was also standing at the door of her room, followed by Helena and Becky. Only Su, Annie and senior Erica were left on the balcony.
"Hey, do you have anything to say to me?" I asked Yingli with a smile.
"No... Good night, Jijia." She replied with a slight blush.
I strode to her. In fact, she lived next door to me, and our room doors were only a few steps away. I held her cheek and kissed her on the forehead.
"Oh, good night, my princess."
Her face was red at this moment.
When I turned around and walked back, she reached out and grabbed my magic robe, and hugged me from behind...
This was the corridor of the hotel after all. She pulled me into the hotel room, hugged me tightly, and said with some distress: "What do you think we are? We have been married for so long!"
I held her hands, and the rationality in my heart was slowly melted by Ying Li's enthusiasm, "So what are you going to do...? What about the promise we made to Manda?"
Ying Li said angrily but stubbornly: "Of course I will stick to our vows, it hasn't been that long..."
