The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1215 Abnormal behavior
Since ancient times, using troops against water and fire has been the most ruthless method of warfare. Manpower cannot compete with nature, and the outcome of a battle can be determined in the blink of an eye.

It is estimated that there is a dam in the upper reaches of that river valley. The shallow water is not entirely due to the dry season, but more likely because the dam has blocked the water, and it is only waiting for an order to open the gate to release the water.

Like a tsunami-like flood rushing across the battlefield, the effect is comparable to that of a map wipe.

I feel that this trick may have been done by people from the empire, because although the two armies are in a state of fierce battle, the empire retreated in an organized way before the flood and firmly guarded the embankment above the waterline. If it weren't for them It's impossible to know the water level so clearly.

To be more specific, Lin Tianci didn't know, and he wasn't interested in how to fight. He just watched the flood submerge the army with admiration, and then called Petra and the two to dodge quickly, because the people on the other side of the mob army had already discovered After seeing them, it seems that a team of cavalry was sent over to check.

Sai Li said that there are many honeycomb-shaped and irregular holes near the dead magic area. This reminder is quite correct. On the way away from the dead magic area, the magic items and magic weapons that Lin Tianci carried often dimmed abruptly. It also returned to normal from time to time. If he hurriedly flew into the sky with a Yujian, he would definitely fall down the moment he entered the hollow.

However, the range of the void is not too large, and it should be said that the range of the entire dead magic area itself is not too large. After all, a long time has passed, and the existing dead magic area is actually shrinking every day.

When the two walked out for about ten minutes or so, they didn't encounter the sudden failure of the magic weapon. After that, it was naturally Lin Tianci Yujian, and Petra rode her celestial flying horse named Joanna.

Their current position is near the border of the Edrastia Empire. Flying east, they will soon see a winding mountain range in the north.

That was the Silver Pine Mountains. Lin Tianci had been to the Lost Lands last time, and it was also where Petra's mother, the Ice Demon, lived.

After seeing the mountains, the two continued to fly eastward. The distance of four to five hundred kilometers is not too far for a guy who can fly, and no matter if it is a flying horse or Yujian, the speed is absolutely guaranteed.

Around noon, Lin Tianci had already seen a huge city appearing at the end of the Silver Pine Mountains. The main body was a stone structure, showing an almost golden beige color in the sunlight, with the blue sea behind it. It looks dignified and beautiful.

This is the capital of the Edrastia Empire, nicknamed the City of Gold. It does not mean that it is made of gold, but that a lot of gold coins can be earned here.

It is a city with a well-developed trade. The main structure is distributed in a ladder shape, with one floor higher than the other, and each floor is divided by a city wall.

Compared with the University College, which directly transforms a mountain into a university town, the Golden City uses stones from the Silver Pine Mountains by the sea to build a 'mountain' on the plain.

Although they saw the target location, the two did not fly directly there. Hearing from Petra, the sky above the city of gold was covered with powerful magic protection, and if they flew over without authorization, they would definitely be shot down.

So they landed in a deserted forest near a small town outside the city.

This has to say that Petra is a really big-hearted girl, or that an old pedant who has read a lot can easily ignore things that are not of interest to him.

She lived in the Dragon Palace before, so she naturally wore clothes in the style of Eastern China. This time when she returned to the Lost Land, she changed into the same set of shorts + short-sleeved shirt that was similar to that of a boy scout.

But the girl's buttocks with a big tail with the characteristics of a chilong and the almost white silver hair from an ice demon are too conspicuous. Don't forget what they are here for. will be discovered.

So Lin Tianci had no choice but to hold Petra, who was full of confusion, and took out a spare cloak, which was the one that Mei Li helped Lin Tianci pick out, and put it on Petra until she was wrapped so that she couldn't be seen as a person. This is the end.

Following the caravan's carriage from the town, the two of them entered the city without attracting any attention. Anyway, among the travelers and businessmen around, there were quite a few travelers and businessmen who were so tightly wrapped up like them.

As I just said, the City of Gold is a city with extremely developed trade, but a developed trade does not mean that the city is in chaos.

In this day and age, very few cities have a complete sewer system, and the streets of many cities...

Let's just say it's like India.

However, the City of Gold is an exception. The streets are very clean. It seems that someone has been hired to clean it every day. The people passing by are also very conscious of throwing rubbish into the trash can instead of just throwing it away.

This alone is much better than other cities.

What's more, not long after entering, Lin Tianci found that the people in this city seemed to be very polite. Even if they accidentally bumped into each other on the road, the first reaction was to apologize to each other, and he could also find that the common people here seemed to be very energetic. The emperor ruled well.

As a result, Petra told him that the quality of the residents in the capital of the empire is due to the strict laws, and the punishment for littering is enough to make you bankrupt...

Here, the cost of crime is very high, and the division of crime is very detailed.

Take a pickpocket as an example, there are two levels of punishment for being caught if you succeed and if you don’t. The amount of property stolen depends on the number, and the punishment is also different. Go to the streets to show the public and chop off two fingers at the end.

The law is strict, and the cost of crime is high, coupled with the government's propaganda, it is no wonder that the quality of the residents is high.

But not only in terms of law, the emperor of the Adrastia Empire did have the ability to rule. Petra said that the tax rate of the empire was the lowest among all the countries, but it was also the country with the most powerful military.

Having said that, the fact that she, a historian who is not interested in the political situation, knows so many things about the empire is actually because she has been here many times.

There may be a lot of materials related to Avis that were left behind in the empire, but those materials are stored in the heavily guarded library, and there is only one way to get in, and that is to get the permission of the emperor of the empire.

This question may be incomprehensible to others. How can you say that not everyone can meet the emperor of a country casually? It's not too difficult for Petra to solve.

The reason is simple, the current emperor of the empire was actually a classmate of Petra...

On the other side, far away on the clock tower in the kingdom of fairies——

Sai Li would hang up on Lin Tianci's communication and did not follow up on the situation of the Lost Land as usual, it was indeed because there were important things to do.

Rarely, Sally rummaged through a stack of books for a large black robe and found a slender stand.

She hung the bracket on herself first, and then put on the robe, which made Saili, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, look like she was about 1.8 meters tall.

In the dimly lit place, the robe perfectly covered all of Sally's physical features, making it impossible to see her true face.

Well prepared, Sai Li swiped her hand and opened a portal.

In Lin Tianci's impression, Sai Li is like a serious squat at home, as long as the problem can be solved on the clock tower, she never goes out.

In fact, Celie needs to leave the clock tower often, not never.

Stepping into the portal, as the light curtain closed, Sai Li came to another small room.

What can be considered as furniture is only a desk and matching chairs. What's even more strange is that there is no door in this room, only a small round hole placed on the wall to communicate with the outside world.

It's more like a secret room than a room.

This is the headquarters of the White Hands Association, to be precise, one of the headquarters.

Saili is also the boss behind the White Hands Association. Every day, a large amount of information is collected in her hands. The main job of the day is to classify these information, and put the useful parts in bound books on the bookshelf of the clock tower, as the next blue goblin. One of the inherited memories, information that cannot be determined for the time being is classified according to different planes and different categories, and it will be confirmed later.

Before coming here, Sai Li needed to disguise herself first, in order to hide her real body.

Although many people in the top management of the White Hands Association know the existence of the blue goblin, but this blue goblin really has no majesty. After all, it is difficult for Saili to be full of majesty with the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl... …

Almost at the same time she entered the room, an eye looked in through the small round hole in the wall, and upon seeing Sally, she immediately said:
"My lord, the information for this month has been collected."

The voice could not be identified as male or female, and it was obviously disguised to a certain extent.

As the sound fell, a round crystal ball was stuffed in from the small hole.

The White Hands Association is extremely powerful, and the information collected every day is also countless. If you only use paper to gather it, Sai Li will not be able to move it.

This crystal ball is actually the same effect as the jade slips used by the monks, which is roughly equivalent to a large-capacity USB flash drive.

Sally hooked her fingers to the crystal ball, and the latter flew over immediately. With a burst of magical aura lighting up, Sally glanced roughly at the information in it.

"It seems that there is nothing I specifically ordered?"

"Sorry, the Shadow Cult's actions are too careful. Our people have never found any clues about them, and a lot of information is just a little trace left after their actions."

Although the Shadow Order and the White Hands Association have two children from the same mother, when the Shadow Order separated, they took away a lot of treasures and magic techniques from the Shadow Guard period, and they were mainly concentrated in stealth operations. The most well-informed White Hands Association can do nothing about it.

"However, the recent actions of the Shadow Order are a bit strange. In the past, they always came and went without a trace, but recently they often leave more conspicuous traces, as if deliberately letting people discover their existence."

Although he said that it is more conspicuous, it is still not obvious to laymen.

"My subordinates speculate that the sect seems to want to convey some news, but they are afraid of being discovered."

When Sally heard it, she immediately knew:

"Continue to collect information about the sect. It is estimated that there will be new news soon. This is very important."

"Yes."

The Shadow Order, which has been acting like a shadow, suddenly changed its mode of action. This is an extremely obvious signal in itself, and it will make them change in the near future...

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the monks.
