Chapter 126 Seeing the Stars
Chapter 126 Seeing the Stars
Entering the scope of Leigu Town, the line of sight is blocked by a layer of faint fog, and the field of vision suddenly becomes cloudy.
The gray-winged roc was not disturbed by the fog, and landed on the outskirts of Leigu Town familiarly. When Ash and the others jumped off its back, it made a low cry, as if saying goodbye, and then flapped its wings to fly again , and return in the direction of Dante Town.
There are forces of the Secret League in Leigu Town, and this group of people has links with the mysterious organization that sells magic materials.At the moment, Meng, Suya, and Jane are trying to mix in with the forces of the secret alliance here, and then get in touch with the mysterious organization to determine its core stronghold in the undead swamp.
As for Ash and the others, they waited for news from Meng through the task of patrolling near the Undead Swamp.
Once the location of the mysterious organization's stronghold is determined, it's time for them to act... er, it's time for Sigourney to act.
Cast a confusion technique to hide the faces of the few people, without hesitation, Yolande, as the leader on the bright side, led the Ashji people straight to the center of the town, where there is a sixth-level wizard tower, which can receive Take the quest to return to the Wizarding Guild.
The publisher of the task they took is the owner of this tower.
It is said that the Undead Swamp has recently changed due to unknown reasons. Many aggressive undead creatures have wandered out of the swamp, seriously threatening the safety of surrounding towns.
There are two types of tasks listed by the Wizarding Association.One is to recruit wizards above black robes and go to the depths of the swamp to find the root of the change.The second is to recruit mid-level wizards and above to participate in the daily inspections around the swamp and eliminate the undead creatures wandering out of the swamp.
The US team took over the latter.
The town shrouded in gauze-like mist has a gloomy and mysterious texture.There are many pedestrians passing by on the street, but they all come and go in a hurry, and the volume is not loud.
Perhaps it was because most of the guests who came to Leigu Town were to enter the Undead Swamp, and they used to keep silent—because undead creatures are particularly sensitive to sound. In Leigu Town, experienced veterans subconsciously entered this state.
The deep town, the many pedestrians, the quiet streets, from time to time you can see a few skeletons walking behind the wizard, so weird and creepy.
Yelena's voice consciously became softer: "This is the style of the Pale Throne."
The previous Dante Town was like a town with the Emerald Throne majoring in wood elements, not authentic at all.
The town is not big, and they quickly arrived at the wizard tower in the center.
The wizard's tower is quite tall, more than twice the average level of the town's buildings. However, in the eyes of those who are used to the third wizard's tower, it is just a small tower.
The first floor of the wizard tower is the mission hall.
Walking in, there are people coming and going in the hall. Although the volume is still lowered, the voices of so many people are still buzzing and shaking, making people feel tight in their chests.
The person they're looking for is very visible.
To the northeast of the hall, a magical water curtain projected a series of missions for "Undead Swamp". There was a counter under the water curtain. Behind the counter stood a thin middle-aged wizard, who was sorting out the scattered materials on the counter with his head down.
"It's him." Yolande affirmed, leading Ash and the others through the crowd, to the middle-aged wizard.
"Hello." Yolande handed over his identity badge, "We are from Brilliant Academy, and we received the task of patrolling the perimeter."
The middle-aged wizard scanned the badges on the chests of their group, recognized the strength of the team, and then imprinted Yolande's badge on a scroll with magic.
He returned the badge to Yolande, and at the same time clicked out of thin air, and a detailed map appeared under his fingertips: "Miss, your task has been successfully received. From today until the end of this month, you will be responsible for this area." Area inspection, is there a problem?"
Yolande took down the map, and it was not far from Leigu Town.
He nodded: "Thank you."
After completing the task handover, several people planned to go to the task location.It must take some time before the news comes. During this period of time, since their team has accepted the task, they must complete it well, otherwise it will damage their team's reputation.
But as they left the hall, they were stopped by a scrawny old wizard.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
He stepped forward and stared intently at Quentin and Signy in the team, with a gleam of light in his gray eyes: "This is... a vampire?"
The obfuscation technique only confuses the appearance, but the difference between vampires and humans is still easily recognized.
He didn't need Ash and the others to answer him, because he already had an affirmative answer in his heart.He asked almost urgently: "Is it a high-level vampire? Can you sell it to me? If you can't sell the whole thing, can you sell half of my blood volume?"
As he said it to himself, the longing and greed in his eyes were like that of a traveler who has been trekking in the desert for a long time and sees the water.
"No, I can't, I won't sell it." Ash replied blankly, grabbed Signi with his backhand, and strode out.
Seeing that a vampire had left, the wizard did not force it, but set his expectant eyes on Yolande and his party.
"What about this?" He was referring to Quentin, "Which one of you is his master? Can you sell it to me? The price is negotiable!"
Yes, that's the attitude!
Familiar, long-lost attitude!
Despicable disgusting human attitude!
Quentin gloomily stared at the shriveled wizard in front of him, his eyes wandering up and down on the wizard's body, suddenly, his eyes froze on the inside of the wizard's sleeve, his pupils constricted irritatingly—that's it!
He seemed to have recognized something, and suddenly became agitated. His fingers curled up and then loosened, and then he curled up again. His sharp fangs grew instantly, and they were already touching his lower lip—he was trying to restrain himself from breaking the opponent's neck. impulse.
"It's not negotiable. It's not for sale." Ash, who walked to the door, came back at some point, and pulled Quentin, but he didn't pull. He looked up and saw Quentin's scarlet eyes. It was a vampire who was about to lose control. Performance.
He froze for a moment, and then quickly whispered something, a voice that only a vampire with keen hearing could catch——
"Look! There is a baby water elf at the door!"
Quentin's ruthless expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously looked towards the door.
Ashe looked at him in a daze, pulled him past, and then dragged the two vampires out, with a cold and decisive attitude, leaving no room for the old wizard to imagine.
The old wizard looked at Yolande and the others in disbelief: "Both belong to him?"
Yelena was angry: "It's not yours anyway!"
After finishing speaking, he followed Ash's example, holding his elder brother with his left hand and Yolande with his right hand, bypassing the old wizard blocking the way, and chasing after Ash.
Behind them, the old wizard lost his expression, looked at their backs lifelessly, and murmured: "Both... seem to be high-level..."
His shriveled face moved, as if he was smiling: "My luck is good..."
Outside the wizard tower.
Quentin has returned to his usual appearance, except for Ash, no one knows that he almost stuck out his fangs just now.
Ash pulled Signi and frowned: "After this mission is over, I think..."
Signy: "Huh?"
"Sigourney and I will sack him together?" Ash said quite seriously.
Yolande came over, happened to hear this sentence, and laughed: "You don't know who the other party is and where they live, so how can you get someone else's sack?" He blinked slyly, "However, I can help you find out Find out his whereabouts. In exchange, you will have to enter my fitting room once."
Ash shook his head: "No need. I found his corresponding star, and next time I follow the star, I will definitely find him again."
Yolande: "..." What kind of operation is this?
Sigourney raised her eyebrows: "Learned from Nance's notes?"
When it came to Mr. Nance's notes, Ash's interest became high: "Well! Mr. Nance said that everyone has a corresponding star, and the trajectory of the star is the trajectory of fate, which is very interesting!"
"It means...you can see our corresponding stars?" Yelena was incredulous, "It's amazing!"
Ash blushed: "It's just that I can see it. I can't see the trajectories of the stars clearly, so I can't go back to the past and predict the future very well. I can't change the trajectories of the stars and change the direction of destiny as mentioned by Your Excellency Nance." . . . I'm still far from it."
Everyone: "..." Is it an exaggeration to see it?Let me ask Iluf, how many astrologers can determine the stars that are related to the fate of others?
Ash is helpless: "Besides, I can't see my own and Signy's stars clearly. Your stars too, because they have formed more or less connections with my stars, they become blurred in my perception .”
However, it was clearer in his eyes like the stranger who had never been masked before.
That old wizard was in a black robe, even if Ash tried to do something with him, he would be noticed immediately.
For the sake of the task and taking the overall situation into consideration, it can't cause any major disturbances yet, but it doesn't prevent Ash from marking his star in the bright starry sky, and then go to get the place back when the business is over.
He really understands the essence of Sigourney keeping black accounts in a small book.
Sigourney agreed very simply this time: "Yes."
We can go to put on sacks together.
The old sorcerer's unrestrained eyes were obviously included in Sigourney's displeased blacklist.
Ash turned his head to look at the silent Quentin: "Do you want to be together?"
Quentin was stunned for a while, before answering the question: "There is a flower pattern on the inside cuff of his wizard robe...I have seen that pattern before."
It dawned on Ash... So, this is why Quentin almost lost control?
