Chapter 3227: An Irresistible Trick
*************************************************** ***************************************
The day after I left the Fox Tribe, I wore shorts and a short shirt, and appeared at Lu Gaoyin's Twin Beach as if I were on vacation. I basked in the sun, looked at the sea, and really had a day's rest.
I thought it would be difficult to trick the evil dragons Lena and Aika Layi away, but I didn’t expect that I just mentioned it to them tactfully, saying that I wanted to practice quietly alone, and maybe I wanted to go on a casual trip. Aika Rai was considerate and nodded in agreement without much thought. This was what I expected, but I didn't expect that the evil dragon Reina also happily patted her butt and left.
Maybe I'm tired of staying in the fox tribe and want to visit other places. I also want to follow my example and take a walk-and-go trip. After all, if the two of us are together, we can't have a happy trip no matter how much we think. We will bicker all the way. , I am probably tired at the end of the day, so I am not in the mood to wander around and enjoy the scenery.
As for Uncle Valkmit, there's no rush, I just want to satisfy my curiosity. It's not too late to take a walk for a day or two before visiting him.
After admiring the sunset on the seaside, it was not until nightfall that I returned late to my own small villa. It is said that this villa is the only home that was not purchased by Princess Sanwu. King Aziz usurped the throne as the king's father of Princess Sanwu... These words go around so much that I feel dizzy. In short, it was given to me by King Aziz after the plan was passed. There is also a mistress Wuwu in the house. This may be The most...well, the most subtle gift I've ever received? All in all, I am still very glad that I did not drive Princess Sanwu away at that time, but kept her with me, although there is also a subtle feeling in this happiness.
I feel like my whole body has become more subtle.
A pink and white small fence with a height of one and a half people, a small and exquisite but not luxurious and eye-catching garden lawn, along the gravel path paved on the lawn, is a neat, elegant and unique villa. This should be many homes, I One of my favorite places.
only……
Looking at the opposite side, it is still as exaggerated as ever. If the villa on my side is a simple and chic villa, then the opposite side is the splendid palace. The front yard alone occupies one third of the street. In comparison, it is It's like a lion looking down at the ants.
I don’t know who lives in it. Yes, I seem to have a vague impression that when Sister Sharna and Princess Sanwu were tossing around in the house, I ran out for refuge and was regarded as a beggar. It did seem like... Seems to be……
Well, a very cute and kind little girl came out of the house opposite and gave me a gold coin. How many years ago was this? It's been fourteen or five years, if that little girl is still here, she should already be a tall and graceful girl. Time flies so fast.
Recalling this small and warm past, I feel embarrassed to complain that the family across the street is a nouveau riche. After all, they have a gift of one coin, although they were forced to accept it.
She took out the key and opened the door. The house was quiet. It must have been a long time since anyone came to live in it. However, the cleaning was quite clean and the floor was spotless. Princess Sanwu probably hired someone to clean it every day. When she thought about it, it turned out that her own house was also the same. Nouveau riche?
After finally coming here, I couldn’t just go back to the bedroom to sleep. As the owner, I pretended to visit the entire house and all the rooms. I also strolled on the lawn in the front yard, blowing in the desert evening breeze and watching. Looking at the flowers and trees, looking at the deserted moonlight, and taking a look at the bright lights of the house opposite, I can only use one word to describe it, that is, it is magnificent, which makes me wonder if they are painted with gold. This style makes me very happy. It felt a bit immediate, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
So, I spent a few days at Lu Gaoyin's house. During the day, I went to visit the Twin Seas and the other three cities in the Western Kingdom, the City of Highlands, the City of Oasis, and the Lost City.
Compared with those years ago, these three cities have undergone tremendous changes. Even the Lost City, which was originally covered with yellow sand and was the most desolate, is now a very lively large city with a population of about 300,000. As for why I know, don’t forget that our Linya and Lena are already half housekeepers of the alliance.
Although relatively speaking, the Western Kingdom still has a lot of autonomy, and the entire country is still centered on the king. However, King Aziz is quite self-aware and knows which parts of his rights should be controlled and which things should be let go to the alliance. So so far Everyone got along very happily. According to Lena, King Aziz has been actively promoting recently, wanting the Western Kingdom to join the Hundred Tribes Alliance as an independent member, just like the Foxmen, Werewolves, Dwarves, and Elves.
Forget it, Akara and Lena have to worry about these things. I am here to cultivate and recuperate.
In addition to several cities in the Western Kingdom, I also sneaked around the Horadric City a few times. Dia was not here, so I was too lazy to show off as a prince and cause unnecessary sensation. Since it is self-cultivation, I should save those tedious things. Etiquette, right? Grandpa Sakron, you won’t blame me, your grandson-in-law, for not saying hello to you when I came to your territory.
As the current Great Elder, although Grandpa Sakron's talent as a mage is somewhat lacking, it has to be said that his talent for management and development is full. Now, with the power of the mage, Horadric City is already a city as prosperous as Lu. Lu Gaoyin is a metropolis. You must know that Lu Gaoyin has the right time, place and people, especially the right location. It took countless years to become the city of gems and gold according to the word of mouth.
What about Horadric City? Located in the center of the desert, the environment is harsh, with not a single blade of grass growing. During the day it is hotter than a stove, and at night it is as hot as a glacier. There is no weather or location. The only thing we rely on is people. Yes, we have many mages and are willful. Isn’t it just a bad environment? Are you afraid of the temperature (air) temperature (regulation) magic circle that covers the entire city? Are you convinced by the defensive magic circle that protects against natural disaster-level sandstorms and tornadoes? It can even be exported. Look at the defensive magic circle of the fox-human and werewolf clan. Thanks to us, they can avoid the pain of migration. Isn't such a big advertisement enough to attract people?
All kinds of magic items are dazzling, cheap and affordable. You can’t buy them in Lugaoyin. Do you want to experience the charm of magic as a civilian? What are you waiting for? Come to Horadric City to realize your dream of being a mage.
Ahem, why did I read out Horadric's advertisement without knowing it? All in all, mages are a group of guys who are not afraid of anything. What can awe them is always more profound knowledge and magic, not any heavenly things. Together with the earth and magic, it will always be the most mysterious and noble power in the minds of ordinary people. Coupled with Sakron's good management and development, all these have created the rapid prosperity of Horadric City. It is hard to imagine that more than ten years ago What the rundown little village looked like when we first came here.
How many years? I didn’t completely relax and take a walk to see the unique scenery of the Dark Continent. Every time I saw the prosperous scene, I couldn’t help but feel a little secretive in my heart. After all, I was also a cheap savior. I could point to this prosperous scene. He proudly said to his precious daughters, you see, this prosperous age is only one percent of your father’s and my credit.
It shouldn't be too much to brag like this, well, it doesn't count even if it's forced.
It's a pity that I don't have Xilusi Aikelu and the others with me, and I don't even have anyone to brag about. What's even more pity is that there are no girls around me in such a relaxing day. The family should be traveling around the mainland and enjoying everything. It’s the right time for family happiness, and I owe them so much.
Thinking of this, the fun in my heart has faded a lot. Forget it, I have already done all the shopping. It is time to do business. Although it is not serious business, it is purely to satisfy my curiosity.
Early the next morning, I held a small piece of paper and started searching the streets for Uncle Valkemit's home.
To be fair, even though they are hidden in the city, they should not be so careless and blatant about setting up their home in a conspicuous place. The dragon family has many treasures. Even if they are given a place the size of a dog hole, they can create a new world. Come.
Therefore, according to my speculation, it should be those inconspicuous streets and alleys. Of course, it cannot be a slum. Even if you want to hide your identity, how can you live in such a place with the arrogance of the dragon? It's even less likely to be a sewer, unless Uncle Valkemit's brain is filled with water.
In this way, the scope of the investigation is much smaller. As long as you lock these places and search according to the addresses on the small note, you will be almost inseparable.
Well, pretty much the same...
Who am I, where am I, what do I do?
At noon, the sun as big as a basin was shining on my forehead, which gave me a magical feeling of dizziness. It was definitely not because I was lost. It was probably an intermittent disorientation caused by an overheated mind. Street recognition should not be dizzy. Can't tell where you are syndrome.
I have no choice but to finally use that trick?
Holding the small piece of paper in my hand, I showed a look of reluctance. Is it too exaggerated? A mere bit of syndrome actually requires this druid to use his terrifying seventh sense. This is a terrifying ability that could level Lu Gaoyin if he doesn't control it even slightly.
At this moment, a hoarse, mysterious old voice appeared in the corner of the alley.
"Young man, you seem to have encountered some difficulties."
When I turned around, I saw a mysterious old fortune-teller wearing a veil, waving to me.
"Are you lost on the road of life? Trust me, I will guide you to the right path." After saying that, he touched the crystal ball from a distance, and a burst of light bloomed, which shocked me. .
"free?"
"Uh... you are the first customer today, free of charge." Is it an illusion? The old fortune teller seemed to roll his eyes.
"Business is not very good. I didn't meet my first customer until noon." When I heard that it was free and I could take advantage of it, I quickly sat down opposite the old fortune teller, for fear of being preempted by others.
"I want you to take care of it."
"What?"
"I mean, divination is a wonderful magic of fate. It is the connection and guidance of the thread of fate. People who are not destined, even if there are a hundred or a thousand standing in front of me, cannot be regarded as guests."
"You are very dedicated." I was shocked again, old man, and my heart was broken.
"Hurry up and divine. Don't you want to see the direction in the fog?"
Is it an illusion? She seemed a little impatient. Anyway, since it’s free, you can’t ask for too much. I still have this basic customer ethics. On the contrary, those guys who are hospitable in the name of free are more suspicious.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt relieved: "Let me explain in advance, I am not lost, I am just a little confused, and my personality is confused. Do you understand, old man?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand very well, please tell me quickly."
Look at that impatient tone, does it look familiar? In any case, she is at least a straightforward businessman.
"Do you really understand? Then please read my words three times. You are not a fool, you just lost your way in life."
"Which is more serious, being a road fool or losing your way in life? Are you an idiot?!"
"Ahem, I'm very sorry. My voice is a bit bad today and I'm a bit angry. Guests, please don't be offended."
"Well... I understand... I can understand..."
Is there a necessary connection between having a bad throat and being angry? Forget it, don’t worry about the details.
"Actually... I am currently deeply troubled by a problem called street noun and intersection recognition disorder."
"speak English!"
"Oh... um, I'm just a bit... a little disoriented." This fortune teller is not only a little angry, but very angry.
"This is Lu Chi, okay?" the other party blurted out.
"I'm leaving. I wish you will close the door soon." I stood up expressionlessly, turned around and left.
"Wait, wait, it doesn't count just now. Let's start again. This is free divination. There will be no more shops after this one. If you go to other people, you will have to pay. Don't you feel sorry for your money?! "
I was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt quite distressed. After all, Rogge was the third stingy person. Since the other party sincerely apologized, I reluctantly gave it a try again.
Sitting down again, I hesitantly handed over the small piece of paper in my hand.
"Look, it's right here. Can you tell me where it is?"
"Oh, it turns out it's here..." The old fortune teller laughed meaningfully.
"Do you know where this is?"
"Of course I know. I've been bored all over Lu Gaoyin these past few days, even the sewers."
"I see, you are indeed an experienced driver. Wait, these days? Aren't you the hidden mysterious fortune teller who has been living in Lu Gaoyin?"
"Don't worry about the details, just come with me." After saying that, the old fortune teller stood up, his legs and feet were nimble, and he walked quickly without looking back. He didn't want the stall anymore. Even I, a poor lost lamb, wanted to abandon it. regardless of.
"Hey, wait a minute, just tell me where it is. It's too much trouble for you to lead the way."
I hurriedly caught up with him, having a bad feeling in my heart. Could it be that I was on guard day and night, or was I accidentally tricked? When he takes me to a certain place, the old fortune teller will show his true face and either force me to get a hair-washing card or sell me to an ocean-going fishing boat?
Wait a minute, old man, I want to spread the flames, but now is not the time to take advantage of it!
