Chapter 56: Bright City Lord

It seems that I felt the entry of Ah-Dai’s mental power. One of the life forms quickly approached Ah-Dai. A psychic power touched him. There is no language in the contact of mental power. Both parties just felt the other's inner thoughts. . A voice rang from the bottom of Dumb's heart, "Dad, you can finally communicate with me."
Hearing these words, Ah'Dai almost lost his mind, and replied mentally, "Who are you? Why do you call me Dad."
"Dad, I am Xiaoxie! You finally found a way to communicate with me. Dad, when will you let Xiaoxie go out! Although it is very comfortable to stay here, Xiaoxie is so boring!"
Dui was completely stunned, Sheng Xie, Sheng Xie actually called himself father. What is going on here? In fact, this is a good explanation. Although Shengxie is a powerful dragon, it also has family affection. When it is born, the first person to see is Dui, and Dui provides it with food and cares about him and loves him. The two have an equal contractual relationship. Based on these various reasons, Sheng Xie will naturally develop attachment feelings to Dui, and regard Dui as his closest person. This kind of dependent feeling was understood by Dui as the meaning of dad in the mental communication.
It took a long time for Ah Dumb to react, and reluctantly told Sheng Xie through his spiritual power, "Xiao Xie, don't call me father, you should call me brother."
"Brother, oh, all right, then I'll call you Dumb brother."
Dumb breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered the business and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Xie, how was the skull dragon that day, why did you let me receive it in the blood of the dragon?"
The holy evil said: "Brother, that has been subdued by me. Now he is my little brother. I can ask him to help you in the future! Although his consciousness is not very clear, he is still honest after being subdued by me. Moreover, you It’s very grateful to you for saving it! He will never dare to be presumptuous with me. Don’t worry.

"Ah! I have another bone dragon friend. Xiaoxie, you have to be optimistic about it, its destructive power is too strong."
"Brother, you are so stupid! If you weren't attacked by it that day, use your profound iron bow to shoot its head like a giant spirit snake. It would have been solved long ago. Where did I use it? Go out? Don’t worry, it’s very well-behaved now, and honestly be my little brother. In the blood of the dragon, it seems very satisfied, and it can absorb external energy through the blood of the dragon like me. In the blood, because it can absorb energy, I don’t need to eat, but there are delicious things, brother, don’t forget me! Brother, when on earth do you let me out to play! Xiaoxie is here It's so stuffy inside."
Sheng Xie asked one question after another. Duan was a little dizzy, and replied: "There are too many people here, and it is not convenient for you to come out. When you find a place with few people, your brother will definitely let you out. Little evil boy, you just need to get out Let's play with the dragons. If there is a chance, my brother will let you out and play with you."
Sheng Xie said aggrievedly: "Well, brother, I'm going to fix that guy. If you have something to do, call me out."
Ah Dui promised, and slowly drew his mental power out of the realm of the dragon's blood. Although he only exchanged a few words, he already felt a little tired. I thought to myself that it seemed that my mental power was not very strong yet, and I hadn't meditated for a long time. I don't know if my mental power has regressed.
"Hey--, it's so comfortable, I slept really well." Yanli stretched out and woke up. "Dumb, have you finished your cultivation? You are really good. This sitting is one day and one night!"
Dumb whispered: "Big Brother Yanli, keep your voice down, Big Brother Rock just fell asleep."
Yan Li looked at the rocks on the bed, and said, "The eldest brother has been watching you vigilantly all day and night during your cultivation. It seems that you are too tired. Go, let's go out and take a walk."
The two of them walked out of the room. They lived in the backyard of the Wizards’ Guild. The yard was quiet, planted with various vegetation, and the fresh air refreshed Ah-Dai.
"Dumb, the people in the Mage Guild seem to be very busy these two days. There are many more people coming and going than when we first came."
Duan looked around and said, "Maybe it's because the union people became vigilant after being attacked that day. Big Brother Yanli, when Big Brother Rock wakes up, let's set off for the Sunset Empire. I won't find the Elves as soon as possible. It's been more than half a year, so the Elf Queen Auntie must be anxious."
Yan Li nodded and said: "Yeah! The area of ​​the sunset empire is not small. I am afraid we will find it for a while. By the way, dumb, big brother and I discovered that we made a mistake when we left the elves."
Dumb froze and asked: "What's the mistake?"
Yan Li said: "We forgot to ask the Elf Queen for the exact number of missing Elf Clan. I don't know the exact number. How can we be sure that all Elf Clan members have been rescued?"
Dumb was shocked, yeah! How can we ensure that all the elves are rescued without knowing the exact number? Anxiously said: "What can we do then? Do we have to go back to the Elf Clan again? One of their clan members has not been rescued. I am embarrassed to go back to see the Elf Queen aunt."
Yan Li shook his head and said, "Let’s talk about it first, maybe the elves who rescued will know the specific numbers? Even if they don’t know, we only need to rescue the elf princess Xing'er first, and the task will be basically completed. Elf, I can talk about it later."
Dumb was about to say something. Two people walked from the front yard. One of them was Karri, the president of the Wizards’ Guild, and the other was a middle-aged man he and Yan Li had never seen. The middle-aged man was dressed in a white cloth robe. Although his attire was simple, he had an awe-inspiring aura of majesty. From him, dumb could feel the aura of killing.
Kari also saw Dumb and smiled: "Dumb, how is your injury? What a coincidence, I'm just about to find you?"
Dumb hurriedly said, "President Kari, thank you for your concern. My injury has basically healed. What can you do with me?"
Kari turned to the middle-aged man who came with him and said, "Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Lord Aldous, the lord of Guangming City. He not only rules Guangming City, but also the whole province of Guangming. Governor. Aldous, this is the young hero of the Tiangang Sword Sect I told you, Dumb, he is a great benefactor of our union!"
Aldous looked at Ah-Dai up and down, and took a quick look. There was nothing peculiar about the shy young man in front of him, but a closer look revealed that Ah-Dai had an unspeakable temperament. The simple and simple feeling made him feel good about Dasheng, and smiled and said, "Dummy kid, thank you for helping Brother Kari! Otherwise, it would be difficult for me, the City Lord of Bright."
Dumb scratched his head and said, "Hello, Aldous City Lord, I am also a member of the Mage’s Guild, this is what I should do. What's more, the people who killed the hand-killing club once killed my uncle, I can’t wait to smooth them out. It."
Carrie said: "Come on, sit down with me, let's have a good chat." In the past two days, under Aldous's order, the garrisons of the entire province of Guangming have been constantly escalating to the Huasheng Empire. The frontier of the sunset empire moved, and at the same time, he also reported the attack on the wizard's union to the senior leaders of the Huasheng Empire. The current Emperor Lille of the Huasheng Empire was furious, but because there was no sufficient evidence to prove that the attack was instigated by the Sunset Empire, he only ordered the garrisons of several provinces bordering the Sunset Empire to mobilize and prepare to face the fall. The invasion of the empire. The troops of the entire Huasheng Empire had a huge impact because of the attack on the Mage Union. Kari was not idle either. In the past two days, he used his status as the president of the trade union to issue orders to various magician trade unions in the mainland, asking them to gather together and wait for the dispatch of the association at any time. Although magicians are usually very idle, they are supported by the union's salary. When the union has an incident, of course they are obliged to stand up and help. Tianyuan Continent has also caused a little turmoil following the magician union's abnormal behavior. , The undercurrent that had been brewing for many years began to flow quickly.
Cary took the three of them to his residence. Although he was the president of the Mage’s Guild, his residence was not very gorgeous. Although the room was large, there was no special decoration, only a large bookshelf. A table and a big bed and a few chairs.
Entering the room, Adam was immediately attracted by the magic book on the shelf, and he unconsciously showed a longing look. As a sorcerer and the president of the sorcerer's guild, Kari's collection is naturally some rare rare books. Seeing that Dumb was very interested in his collection, Kari couldn't help but said proudly: "I have a lot of magic books here. Dumb, if you are interested, you can take a look."
Dumb was happy at first, but when he thought he was about to leave, he shook his head and said, "Thank you, President Kari. But I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to borrow. Tomorrow morning, we will leave here. Go to Sunset Empire , I’m here to say goodbye to you today."
Cary was surprised: "Why are you in a hurry? Stay in the union for a few more days. I still want to find opportunities to exchange more magical experience with you?"
Dumb helplessly said: "I also want to ask you, but we have an urgent matter that must be dealt with as soon as possible, so we can only say sorry. By the way, President Kari, did the killer who attacked the union caught it that day?" His questioning immediately made Aldous a little embarrassed, "Those assassins are indeed cunning. Although the troops I sent captured their whereabouts, the cultivation of the dark magicians was not weak, so they let them escape. The several assassins who were caught also committed suicide." Aldous was a little annoyed when he mentioned this. Nearly a thousand people stopped him, but after losing 300 people, all five dark magicians escaped. If it was dropped, the assassins who caught it all killed themselves. If it weren't for the close relationship between him and Kari, I really didn't know how to explain it to him.
Cary patted Aldous on the shoulder, and said: "Those guys have planned for a long time, even if they catch them, I am afraid they can't ask anything. Dark magicians are very rare, and their magic is really powerful. However, Don't worry, their appearance will make life difficult in the future. I have already reported to the Holy See through the sacrificial hall in the city. The Holy See will deal with these blasphemers. I believe that after they fled back. , I’m afraid I’m afraid to show up for a while. What I’m worried about is that I don’t know the number of these dark magicians. If there are a large number, it will be difficult to deal with. Except for the light magic of the Holy See, ordinary magic is very difficult. Contend against them."
Dumb asked: "President Kari, are those dark magicians the people who kill the manual?"
Kari froze, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. I have never heard of the existence of magicians in the killing hand club. After all, only those specially trained and good martial arts killers are more powerful. This time they sent The killers who came are all of the ninja level, which makes me a little bit unable to understand. I don’t know if they look down on us too much or if they deliberately do it. If I were the president of the Killing Hand Association, I would definitely not send a magician. As long as we let the killers sneak attack from the dark and retreat with one blow, our magicians will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
Aldous shook his head and said, "No, Brother Kari, this killer will be more insidious than we thought. Think about it, if all the assassins came this time, how would our Huasheng Empire react? Your Majesty must be furious. As everyone knows, the headquarters of the Killing Hand Society is in the Sunset Empire. I don’t believe that the Sunset Empire does not know their exact location. If your Majesty uses strong means to demand people from the Sunset Empire, even the Holy See will not protect them. , After all, the killing hand will belong to the dark forces. Under pressure, I think it is very likely that the sunset empire will bear the pain to sell the killing hand to us. The president of this killing hand will definitely think of this relationship, so he will The sunset empire asked them to cooperate with the dark magicians, and those magicians would uniformly command the killers. However, it is very dangerous to attack the magician union in the Huasheng Empire. The killers will be out of selfish thoughts, so they will not send them. A higher-level killer."
It’s not fortunate that Aldous can sit where he is today. His analysis made Cary nod his head repeatedly, "Yes, Santo, what you said makes sense. If this is the case, it means that the Sunset Empire and him The dark forces under your hand may not have one mind, so it's much easier to deal with. Dumb, you just said you are going to the Sunset Empire, what are you going to do? It's messy there now!"
Dumb lowered his head and said: "It is precisely because the Sunset Empire is a dark force that we have to go. Some of my friends have been taken away by the thieves’ union, and they may be sold into slaves. The Sunset Empire is the most likely. Place, so we are going to look for them."
Aldous snorted, "This sunset empire is simply a cancer on the mainland. Almost all despicable things have to do with them. It's a jerk. I'm going to see how long they can be rampant."
Yan Li asked curiously: "Since the sunset empire is so hateful and a concentration camp of the dark forces, why don't the other empires on the mainland unite and destroy them?"
Aldous glanced at Yanli and smiled and said, "Little brother, what you think is too simple. If it can be destroyed, the sunset empire will not be rampant to this day. Thousands of years ago, destroy the evil dark demons. At that time, His Majesty, the first Pope of the Holy See, had been helped by many friends, and the most important of them were the founders of the sunset empire, so the Holy See would naturally protect them to a certain extent. Besides, Although the dark forces of the Sunset Empire are rampant, there are also the most people who believe in the Holy See in their territory. This is a great irony. Therefore, the Holy See is always protecting them. You should know that on this continent, there is the only one. Only the Holy See can make the four empires scrupulous at the same time. Although the region where the Holy See is located is not vast, their power can be said to control most of the mainland. There are more than tens of millions of believers alone. There are also those powerful luminous priests and goddesses, as well as a small number of holy knights with extremely strong single combat capabilities. Who can compete with them? The contradiction between us and the sunset empire is the deepest. It is not a day or two. Now, some small frictions that usually occur. The Holy See does not interfere, but if the conflict escalates to a real war, I am afraid they will intervene. In terms of overall strength, we are slightly stronger than the Sunset Empire. , But as long as the Holy See supports the Sunset Empire for one day, we can’t move, we can’t, and we don’t dare to send troops to the enemy. Who wants to offend the largest power on the mainland? Not to mention the Holy See has long seen us not pleasing to our eyes, our Huasheng Empire The people of China are self-sufficient and don’t have a lot of affection for the sacrificial offerings of the Holy See. If it weren’t for the old man of the Sword Saint of Tiangang to deter the Holy See, I’m afraid they would have found a reason to forcibly spread their teachings. Therefore, we can only wait, When the sunset empire takes the initiative to send troops, then there may be some opportunities."
After hearing these complicated situations, Duan couldn't help but feel dizzy, and muttered, "It's better not to fight. If you start a war, I am afraid that many people will die!"
Cary sighed: "Who wants to fight? But when things come to the fore, sometimes humans can't change them. This is God's will."
Aldos said: "Dad brother, I think it's better not to go to the sunset empire. The border situation is so tense, I am afraid that many situations will occur."
Dui shook his head and said firmly: "No, we must go to the Sunset Empire. Don't worry, we will be careful." The elf queen's request will be completed anyway.
Aldous took a deep look at him and said: "Marshal Feng Wen and I have a very good relationship. If you are willing to join the army, he will introduce you to the empire, and the future should be boundless!"
Yanli laughed and said: "He? He is not suitable for joining the army! Ah-Dai is too soft-hearted. I am afraid that when he is on the battlefield, he will not be willing to kill himself."
Aldous froze, looked at Yan Li, and said, "It depends on your figure that you are also practicing martial arts. If you are willing to join the army, I can also arrange a good position for you."
Yanli shook his hand again and again and said, "I can't do it. I'm used to a free life. If I'm in the army, I'll cause you trouble."
Dumb said: "City Lord Aldous, thank you for your kindness, we are really not suitable for joining the army."
Aldous’s mood didn’t change because of Duan and Yanli’s refusal. He smiled and said, "Dumb, how old are you so dumb. You don’t want to call me from the city lord. That’s too much. My Uncle Or! This time you helped the Mage Guild. I am very grateful. If you need anything in the future, I will come to my uncle. Uncle will definitely help you."
Kari secretly said in his heart, good Aldous, you will really buy people's hearts! Without waiting for Ah Dui to answer, he rushed: "Yes, not only will he help you, you are now the great benefactor of the trade union, if there are any difficulties in the future, the wizards will help you, you will be one of us after all, the trade union It will always be your home. This is for you." As he said, he took out the things he had prepared and handed them over.
Dui took a look. It turned out to be a golden magic card. Its appearance was a bit similar to his original red magic card, except that the symbol of the wizards’ union was protruding, and the card contained a touch of energy. Dumb, who had studied alchemy in Reese, knew that this card was not made of gold, but a mixture of rare metals. "President Kari, don't say that. I am not some kind of benefactor of the union. The union is in trouble. I will definitely help. This, what is this?"
Kari smiled slightly and said, "You also call me uncle. This card represents your identity as an elder in the wizards’ guild. There are already nine elders in the guild, and you are the tenth. When you reach each branch, as long as you If necessary, they will help you unconditionally."
Dumb froze and pointed to his nose: "Me? Elder? Kari will..., ah, no, Uncle Kari, how can I be an elder? My magic is very poor."
Kari sternly said: "Of course you can. I have discussed with several other elders. Although you are not very old, with the magic that you summoned the Silver Dragon that day, you are enough to hold the position of elder. I will officially grant you the position now. The position of honorary elder of the Wizards’ Guild."
Dumb still wanted to refuse, but Kari sternly said, "If you don't accept it, you will look down on your uncle and the wizard's union. Don't you want to be our enemy?"
In desperation, Dumb had to put the card away next to him, and Yan Li envied him: "Dumb, you are so lucky, Uncle Kari, what is the monthly salary of this elder?"
Kari smiled and said: "The elders don’t have a monthly service, but because of the lofty status of the elders in the union, no matter where they are, with this identification card, they can always use the union’s funds not to exceed 10,000 gold coins. that power."
Dumb was surprised: "What? Ten thousand gold coins? I can't use that much money, just enough to spend."
Aldous looked at Cary, his eyes showed approval, a rare master! Being able to win over such a magician with the ability to summon dragons is bound to be of great benefit to the future development of the magician guild. He smiled and said: "No one wants you to spend so much money. Brother Kari means that as long as you need it, The amount below 10,000 gold coins can be at your disposal. If you spend less, you can take less from the union. When you meet for the first time, Uncle Orr will give you a gift." He took a diamond-shaped silver square from his arms and handed it. To dumb. Dui took a look, and there was a letter in the center of the square. He started with a heavy hand. He put it under his nose and smelled it. A faint fragrance passed into his nose, and said with emotion, "This, this is agarwood silver!" Silver is a very precious metal that has a strong anti-corrosion effect. Its effect is better than that of silver tin, and it can emit a refreshing faint fragrance. Many noble women’s jewelry boxes are made of it. , The cost is extremely expensive, this thick agarwood silver foot can make several jewelry boxes.
Aldous did not expect that this dull young man was quite knowledgeable, and nodded: "Yes, this is a token made of agarwood silver with my special mark on it. With it, you can enter and exit the Huasheng Empire at will. Garrison, since you insist on going to the Sunset Empire, I think it will have some effect on you."
Dumb said embarrassedly, "Two uncles, how can I receive such precious gifts from you?"
Carrie said: "No matter how valuable things are, life is not as important. You saved so many people. This is what you deserve. Okay, put it away."
Yanli nodded repeatedly, grabbed the token from Dumb, stuffed it into his arms, and smiled: "I thank you both for Dumb."
Aldous stood up and said, "I have a lot of things to deal with, so I will leave first. If there is anything to ask me, no one will stop you as long as you rely on this token."
After the three of them sent Aldous away, Kari ordered them to send a set of magic robe to Dui. It was also a red magic robe that symbolized the identity of the fire magician, but this set had a special place. The six-pointed star is hooked with gold thread. The six vertices are also inlaid with red ordinary magic spar. There are nine golden six-pointed stars on the right shoulder, which symbolizes the identity of the union elder. Putting on this gorgeous magic robe, Duan couldn't help but feel a little awkward, but couldn't refuse Kari's kindness, so he had to do so. Kari originally wanted him to choose some magic items from the union's collection, but they were all rejected by Dumb. After all, he knew that his level of magic was not high, and it was useless to ask for those magic supplies. Early the next morning, when the three of A'Dai left, Kari personally sent them to the west gate of Guangming City, and gave A'Dai one hundred amethyst coins as travel expenses, and A'Dai had to accept it.
Originally, Yanli wanted to buy a few horses, but after reading the map, the rock found that the terrain from here into the sunset empire was complicated and it was difficult for the horses to pass, so he dispelled this idea. In this way, the three continued to embark on the journey to the sunset empire. The biggest gain for Duan in Guangming City was not to obtain the title of the elder of the Mage Guild and the token of Aldous, but to use the blood of the dragon to conquer. A bone dragon. The bone dragon's physical attack power is so strong that it can be said to be worse than the dumb who doesn't need to change. It will definitely be a big help for him in the future.
Two days later, the three finally passed through the Guangming Province and came to the junction of the Huasheng Empire and the Sunset Empire. Looking at the barracks that were unable to find the border, the three of them couldn't help but froze. Yan Li lost his voice: "Why are there so many troops here? How can we get there?"
Rock pondered: "It seems that the relationship between the Huasheng Empire and the Sunset Empire is very tense! This should be the defensive army of the Huasheng Empire. It seems that it is estimated to exceed 100,000."
Yan Li looked at Ah-Dai and said, "No wonder the Aldous City chief gave you a token. Without the token, it is impossible to pass the garrison of the troops."
Dumb took out the token from his arms and said, "Then let's go. Didn't Uncle Orr say that there is this token that can pass through the garrison of the Huasheng Empire at will?"
The three of them walked from the front to the barracks. When they were hundreds of meters away from the barracks, they were stopped by the patrolling infantry. When Dui showed Aldous's token, the infantry recognized the origin of the token and did not dare. Neglecting, quickly led them into the barracks.
In the establishment of the Huasheng Empire, every ten men was a squadron, every hundred men was a squadron, every thousand men was a large brigade, and ten brigades and ten thousand men were a corps. Ten legions form a group army, which is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the group army. The 100,000 people stationed here are the only group army of the Guangming Province. Their commander-in-chief is naturally the Governor Aldous of the Guangming Province. These troops can also be said to be the direct line of Aldous. The title of Tiger Army, under the leadership of the bright tiger Aldous, has made numerous contributions to the Huasheng Empire. It is the most powerful unit other than the Knights of Light led by Fengwen.
Because of the many affairs of the Bright Province~EbookFREE.me~, Aldous will naturally not be in command here. For the time being, he is replaced by the commander of the First Army of the Light, who has the title of Viscount, West Africa. Being cautious, good at defensive, and loyal, he is highly regarded by Aldous. With him commanding the army to garrison here, even if the empire is suddenly attacked by the setting sun, Aldous is sure to keep the enemy from getting close. The infantry who stopped Ah Dui and the others, because they were holding Aldous's token, regarded them as messengers from the City of Light, and reported directly to the headquarters of the group army.
West Africa was discussing with nine other army commanders and some staff officers and generals in the group army. Upon hearing that an envoy had arrived from Guangming City, they hurriedly invited the three dui into the headquarters.
The headquarters is a makeshift large tent, which is extremely wide and is as large as hundreds of square meters. Entering the tent, the three dumbs looked at the brightly armored and knightly commanders. They couldn't help but feel a little panic when they hadn't seen the world. They just walked by the way, but they didn't expect to be received by the commander here.
Xifei walked down from the main seat and looked up and down at the three of them. Because Dui was wearing a generous cloak of the magician, he could not see clearly, but he knew the mark on Dui's shoulder. He was shocked and hurriedly politely. Said: "West Africa has never been welcomed, please forgive the elders. I don't know what the Governor-General has ordered?" I wondered in my heart that the messenger had not clearly stated the identity of the person, how respected the identity of the elder of the wizards’ union, I should It's right to come out in person.
