Chapter 32 "The Undercurrent in the City"
"See nothing, Mr. Gordon."
Nina shook her head, then looked at the surrounding environment, and looked at the pedestrians with only one shape in the alley, she nodded repeatedly and affirmatively.
“I don’t really see anyone else here.”
"Well, then I understand."
Ge Dun squinted his eyes thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't continue to ask, so Nina was no longer curious about asking.
Although she was really curious about what Geton was thinking...
Just as Geden was still thinking about the scene just now, a woman with rare purple hair, wearing Sumerion's most common wizard robe, and wearing the academy emblem of the city, was walking leisurely in the corridor corridor. Her position could see the alley below just now. She swept the combination of man and cat and smiled calmly.
“Interesting ~”
She gently exhaled a sound like a breeze, and disappeared with the sound of footsteps.
However, her eyes did not stay on the strange combination for too long, but walked straight down the corridor to the end of this mansion.
An oak door with a quaint shape is quite common in the lower and old town areas of Sumerion. After all, there was a large oak forest nearby. At that time, in order to harvest trees here, Feiyan, the founder of this magic city had made many harsh treaties with local tree people, such as the number of cuts per year and the number of seedlings cultivated, which were strictly required.
However, as the territory gradually expanded, Sumerion's power became stronger and stronger. A contract that once could bind this city also disappeared with the wind as the tree race and the elves moved away.
But the wooden doors made of oak trees were gradually replaced with the birth of new craftsmanship. It can even be said that everything in the city can be replaced with magic-related things, including doors.
The magic gate, crystal gate, and even the secret gate all appear in Sumerion. The entrance to the building of the mage hut is a unique secret gate. When necessary, the hut can even close the entrance and hide everything in the hut in another half plane, thereby ensuring safety to the greatest extent.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The purple-haired woman knocked on the wooden door with a staff that looked like a spiral spear, and at the same time, fluorescent light began to brew from the bloody gem in the spiral staff.
"who?"
A simple and old voice came from inside, sounding like a woman.
"I'm here to find Geqiusha. I'm her friend. Is she there?"
Her voice was gentle, and you could imagine the smile on her face when she said this.
However, if you look through the crack of the door, you will find that the smile on her face is not increasing or decreasing, and there is an indescribable weirdness.
When the person inside heard the name, after a while, he asked in surprise with a sound of footsteps.
"Is it Little Liv's friend? She is still in the Magic Academy and has not come back. You can go to the academy to find her first. She usually only comes back on holidays."
However, when the footsteps gradually approached, the woman who opened the door, saw the purple-haired woman wearing the mage's outfit and the jewelry on her chest, she was still very enthusiastic about explaining to her why her daughter had not returned home.
But in the end she couldn't help asking.
"Didn't Liv tell you that she doesn't go home at all?"
"I just happened to pass by here and thought that Geqiusha had told me that her family had lived here, so I came to visit me to see who could train Geqiusha so well. In my opinion, if you have cultivated such excellent students for the college and Sumerion, your glory is not inferior to that of outstanding representatives in any other city."
The purple-haired woman's unmarked boast made the woman who could see from her face that she was quite beautiful when she was young and smiled even more happily and waved her hands quickly.
"Where is, Liv has worked hard since she was a child, and I didn't help at all."
As he said that, the woman wiped her apron with her hands with water, showing a passionate smile.
"What's your name? Is it Xiao Lifu's friend? Come in and sit down. How can you stand at the door? Xiao Lifu knows it, but she will be chanted by her again..."
The purple-haired woman walked in the still graceful and light steps of the woman's chattering family, like countless people in the city invited guests, entering this ordinary mansion.
The magic reconnaissance guards who were floating above this area and working all the time did not find any abnormalities.
In its judgment, as long as the visitor does not cast spells, does not start a battle, and does not break into or sneak into the house against the owner's wishes, most of them will not trigger patrol alarms in the city, thereby attracting law enforcement guards.
As for how long the people inside stayed there and didn’t come out, it didn’t matter. It was only responsible for the safety of public areas, as for private spaces.
In Sumerion, whether it is the mage, noble or civilian living here, they pay more attention to this. They would rather sacrifice a little security than expose their privacy to the observations of the magic reconnaissance guards.
This time, after all, it was like thousands of families invited guests to sit at home, without any turmoil. The inspector who was always staring at the floating screen did not notice what happened outside the mansion in the old city.
As for the time of their trip, even if the wizards have super memory, their brains are not used to remember these meaningless things.
If everything you see must be recorded in your mind, then the monitors responsible for monitoring various urban areas every day may not be long before they will become mentally exhausted and become weak in the brain.
Most of their time they spend checking the status of the people entering the city, including monitoring the two men, Gonton and Nina, who had just entered the city, looked like they were one person and one cat, but in fact they were a combination of two dragons.
However, as a monitor of Sumerion, I have never seen any storms. When the demon eroded, a Barolo Flame Demon even broke into the monitoring site and even played a self-destruction. But so what? In the end, the Abyss Portal was shattered. Half of the Abyss Lord's hand is still in the upper-level laboratory of the parliament, studying the abyss energy contained in it.
They intend to study the weaknesses engraved in the bloodline of the abyss demon, and want to see if they can create a bloodline mystery lock similar to the dragon clan, thereby directly destroying the chaotic plane from the root.
Therefore, I just slightly teased the weirdness of the group. Seeing that Goton and Nina were not strange, they lowered their surveillance level. A few days ago, they received a message that a woman suspected of believing in the crow came to the vicinity of Sumerion and slaughtered several caravans and adventurers who met her. The news was sent back from a druid who was watching from the sky.
She seemed to be looking for something, otherwise she would not have been wandering around Sumerion. Although there was no news of the attack on the caravans in the past few days, the group of fishing law enforcement law enforcement law enforcement did not naively think that she had left here. Instead, they asked the detectors in the city to increase their efforts to find all those who could be characteristic of the voters of the crows.
The ship of Geden and others came from the north, and the passengers and sailors on it were naturally subject to strict inspections, but they still had no clue. Even if it was so strict, the woman's figure was still like an illusory ghost, floating beside her, only hearing her voice, not seeing her.
"Damn, what the hell is that damn Son of God looking for?"
Like a fog, the hidden danger of being unable to see the traces hangs on the side of the heart, like a time bomb that may explode at any time. The law enforcement officers have already raised their tables with a hot blow and given the final order. If the murderer who attacked the city merchants many times within a week still cannot be found, then all the law enforcement officers will have to get out and the family behind them will be implicated.
After all, Sumeirien is not short of a bunch of waste that can't do anything except collecting gold coins.
If things really get stuck, it's not as simple as getting out.
"Maybe he's gone."
Someone said in a deep voice.
"Or she has found what she wants, and she shouldn't attack the caravan again until she starts."
"We can take back all the spies sent outside and strengthen internal martial law. What we can be sure about before was that she did not dare to enter the city, or she was a little afraid of Sumerion monitoring. Otherwise, she would not choose to take action outside the city, and now she will not take action outside the city. If she does not leave, then the last thing is possible..."
Before he could finish his words, his subordinates exclaimed.
"Will she now..."
Whether it was the speaker or the listener, they suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
If it is true, then if this is said, the voter is likely to have already sneaked into the city and sneaked into the city with means they did not know.
"Do you want to notify..."
Some people hesitate. After all, such a big thing must be notified to the upper class no matter what, otherwise the entire law enforcement department will not be spared.
"Boss Jodonst has gone to discuss with the chief of the Star Council, trying to narrow the scope and whether he can use prophecy to capture the person's position in the city."
Many people were relieved to hear this. Jodonst, the CEO of the law enforcement department, plus the chief of the famous Star Council, and the city's leading legendary astrologer. These two together, Sumerion did not say a tremor, but no one could ignore this power.
"But we also have tasks. Don't let go of every corner of the city, especially the academy, and there is no need to lose anything!"
The number of mage apprentices and the resource construction of the academy are far beyond the ranks that money can calculate. The reason why Sumerion became the only city in the southern Principality that is independent or even transcendent to the Federation is because it has the largest number of spellcasters on the continent and the most comprehensive spellcasting system.
If the involvement of the Son of God really affects the academy, causing heavy losses to personnel, or a treasure is stolen, then their law enforcement and supervision departments are the first to bear the brunt of it, and the first pot must be handled steadily.
"Anyway, no matter what, the martial law in our city must be done well, but the wind should not be revealed. It should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Next, I plan to divide you into two groups, one group of people to find out if there are any missing people in the city, or the residents who have entered the city from outside the city these days. The second group is to investigate suspicious foreign elements. Do not let them take advantage of the situation..."
A series of rigorous and moderate instructions were issued in an orderly manner. Everyone performed their duties, investigated the residents who had returned recently, investigated the trajectories of outsiders, and surveyed the trajectories of the law enforcement officers who were leaving for the college area. They were sorting out magic wands to charge them and magic carpet tools for transportation to prevent them from going wrong if they encountered a battle or emergency situation.
Just as Sumerion's vigilance was silently raised to the highest level, and the entire law enforcement department launched an attack.
Gordon and Nina had already arrived at the door of the mage's hut, and as usual, the clerk named Coral came forward to receive it.
Geden keenly felt that when it came, other clerks cast envious eyes at the coral, and of course there was no shortage of jealousy.
But the rules of the mage hut made them unable to even say a tentative word, so they could only watch as the coral lead a man and a cat towards the hall, which was specially prepared for the fledgling mage adventurers.
Geden, who had just spent a lot of money yesterday, was also very enthusiastic at this time. Especially after visiting the robe area, Geden discovered that there were so many robes. In addition to ordinary abortions, there were also robes specially used for dragon descendants. A retractable round hole was specially used to poke the tail behind it.
In addition to this, there are also various cute robes, such as clothing for beast-made people, and cat-made people suits that are even more cute.
Gorton felt that Nina was wearing this dress with a black cat portrait and a robe embellished with gold wire to match it.
"Miss Nina, this is the latest "Dark Night Star" in the Wild Beauty series..."
"wrap up!"
So, the clerk girl Coral was halfway through the sales words, and was ended by Gedu's first decision. Nina looked at the Dark Night Star in the mirror with satisfaction, which was naturally covered with the original robe, especially a black cat standing on her shoulders, not to mention how much it was.
But in this way, Nina couldn't help but look at the price above with distress, but in public, she didn't have the nerve to complain to Geton. She now knew clearly that she just needed to make Geton pay quietly.
Instead of still like being in the nest, the housekeeper complained that the Shaozu earned a few gold coins today and lost a few gold coins tomorrow.
Anyway, it’s good that Mr. Gordon is happy!
It is happy, so am I happy!
Thinking of this, Nina couldn't help but smile, which made Geden, who was worried that Nina would say that she would spend money indiscriminately, was slightly stunned, but soon understood what she meant.
One indulgence that can be indulged...
Then...then let's come bigger!
So, Gouton said boldly.
"Come on, bring me all the items in your store that can be used by the mages below the Fourth Ring Road!"
"I want to buy something very happy!"
Today is sunny, so it is good to shop and avoid hospitality...
