The sun is shining and the ancient and majestic city of Aalto stands on the banks of the Belém River, looking over the land.
Its walls are different from the black that most magicians like, with a dull yellow color, as if they have passed countless years, like the eternal starry sky.
Although Fernando did not dare to fly, he traveled day and night, and arrived in the current core city of the empire a few days later.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the city gate, where a dozen magicians were guarded, and the leader was unabashedly flamboyant, a teacher At this time, it was noon, but the farmers, merchants, and citizens who entered and left the city did not decrease at all, and they were still bustling, giving people a sense of the prosperity and vitality of Aalto.
A mid-level magician who was guarding the door saw Fernando approaching and waved his hand vigilantly to make him stop, no one wanted to be a victim of the night watch.
Because Fernando was wearing a bright red magic robe, the attention of the mages guarding was diverted, except for that teacher, their expressions were slightly calm, and it seemed that if there was a slight change, they would strike mercilessly.
Fernando said in a loud voice, "I am from the Great Holm region, and I have come here to find my friend Antek, a student of His Excellency the Nightmare King. ” Antek is just a high-level mage who has just entered the Sixth Ring, and he doesn't want to be famous, so in order to avoid accidents, Fernando directly brought out his teacher, the legendary magician "Nightmare King".
The lineage of their lineage culminates in the profession of "Nightmare King", just like the Maskelyne who ruled the city in the past.
There are only two legendary classes on his book of astrology and elements, "Prophet" and "Elemental Dominator".
If you want to get more legendary professions, you can only make enough contributions to the empire, and then you can enter the Imperial Library "Tower of the Gods" in Antifleur to study In the heyday of the Sylvanus Empire, the magicians inflated their confidence, thinking that the legendary powerhouse is the gods of the mortal world, and different professions are the gods of different fields, so the Imperial Library was named the "Tower of the Gods", but the rise of the Church of Truth made these "gods" fall into the dust.
"Lord Nightmare King" hears it to be a legendary magician.
The division guarding the gate put away its nonchalant attitude.
Much kinder.
Fernando nodded slightly: "Yes, but I don't know him, I am only familiar with his student Antek." ” He disdained to cling to legendary magicians.
The magicians present with the strange honest guy don't understand Fernando's pride, and assume that he is the kind of person who studies magic and makes himself stupid.
The master guarding the door smiled, "I know another student of His Excellency the Nightmare King, Stennis.
From his lips he had heard the name Antek.
So.
You go in. ” Ah, in the face of this treatment, Fernando was not used to it, so he went in so easily, and they didn't even ask their names That teacher would have been wrong.
Thinking that Fernando didn't remember Stannis, he didn't dare to believe his words easily, so he lowered his voice and said: "Stannis is the best student of His Excellency the Nightmare King, you should have heard Antek mention that he has known the world half a year ago and is regarded as a quasi-legend, hehe, maybe we can see a rare sight, the two Nightmare Kings are in the same city." ” "He already knows the world half-solidified" Fernando originally thought that he was about to be regarded as the leader of the same generation of "young" magicians, but who knew that Stannis, who was not much older than himself, had actually come to this extent.
"Yes, maybe he will try to be promoted during this time, he is a true genius in the dream realm of the illusion department."
This division can hardly hide his envy, there is only a line between the nine rings and the legend, but it is the difference between heaven and earth.
Fernando didn't nod, and said eagerly, "I also have a deep study of illusions. ” What he didn't mean was that he hoped to talk to Stannis this time to see if this "true genius" lived up to his name, so that he wouldn't praise, envy or look up to anyone The gatekeeper looked stunned, thinking that this magician who was good at illusion had come to ask Stannis and the "Nightmare King" for advice, which was not uncommon, especially since he was also familiar with Antek, a student of the "Nightmare King".
"I don't know what to call you" From the mention of "Nightmare King" by Fernando just now, he felt the need to get to know this high-level magician, "I'm Nice Brown, you can just call me Nice." ” Fernando thinks this is the proper procedure: "I'm Fernando Balista, and I like people to call me Fernando." ” "This surname, it seems to be from the Arthurian Empire," Neston asked hesitantly.
Fernando nodded: "Yes, but my teacher is a mage of the Empire. ” Ness didn't confirm further, as if to be sure that Fernando's words were true, and he smiled: "Fernando, come in, Antek is waiting for you, and we have a chance to exchange magical knowledge again." ” "What Antek is waiting for me, just go in like this, don't check to verify my identity, I'm not afraid, I've surrendered to the church and become a night watchman," Fernando felt that after he and Douglas got to know him, the problem was increasing day by day.
The smile on Ness's face was slightly weird: "Don't worry, there won't be a night watchman in Aalto, you see, isn't that Antek" Following his fingers, Fernando saw a young man wearing monocles, his body was thin, his hair was messy, his face was pale, his cheekbones were high, his face was covered with stubble, and he smelled sick to his stomach, as if he hadn't been out of the meditation room or laboratory for a long time.
"You're still as ugly as ever."
Fernando unceremoniously hit Antek, "And he doesn't know how to clean himself up." ” Antek said with a bitter face: "Anyway, if I can't clean it up, no beautiful female mage will take a fancy to me, hey, only a handsome guy like you has the value of cleaning up." ” There was a hint of envy and jealousy in his tone.
"You're not going to give yourself a makeover," Fernando didn't think about taking care of Antek's mood at all.
Antek thought about it very seriously: "We don't have many people in the Magic Tower who are good at remodeling, and I don't trust others very much.
I'm afraid that the transformation will be uglier. ” "Hmph, I'm still a coward, I don't dare to try, I don't dare to take risks, I always think that others will do things badly, you shouldn't have learned from His Excellency the Nightmare King, you should have gone to the Tower of Doom in the first place" Fernando's mouth was unusually poisonous.
The Tower of Doom is the half-plane of the legendary magician of the Lord of Doom, who has fallen to Antiphre.
Antek was not so timid in front of his friends who had known him for many years, and said with a slight meaning: "My teacher said that I have a strong talent in the dream realm, and it is best for me to quietly hide in a safe and hidden place to manipulate dreams.
Manipulate illusions. ” "Yes.
Great for you coward.
"Fernando is not authentic.
Antek suddenly smiled: "Fernando, I'll tell you a story. ” "Well, tell a story" Fernando didn't keep up with Antek's jumping thinking, and suddenly felt that after more than ten years, this friend had something more than he could grasp.
Antek led Fernando through the city gates.
Walked into the lively market area.
The Bloods with the parasols.
Elves embracing the sun, dragons hovering on rooftops, dwarves staggering.
The busy human beings make this place like a garden of all nations, where different customs are blended together.
"My teacher's friend, His Excellency the Abyss Lord, is a leader in the field of bloodline fusion and transformation, when he was young, he was often ridiculed by another of his good friends, mocking him for being infected by demonic blood and breath, becoming extremely ugly, and he would be feared and scared by girls all his life, but now, he has many mistresses."
Antek said without ups and downs.
Fernando has no envy: "He's a legendary magician, and if you don't want to, you have to be willing." ” In the Magic Empire, legendary magicians have great privileges, and crimes such as murder are only fines as long as they do not involve a strong background.

Speaking of this, he exclaimed: "So, you rely on this story to motivate yourself, it's really inspirational" "That's not the point, the point is that when His Excellency the Abyss Lord was only seven rings in strength and was not as good as his good friend, because he was ridiculed, he attacked from behind and killed his friend and made him a demon dog."
Antek's tone suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.
During the interaction with Antek, Fernando choked for the first time, and said with a somewhat frozen expression: "You are making me thank you for not assassinating me" "Hehe, I don't really dare."
Antek replied with a grin, he was satisfied to see Fernando's expression.
Fernando was just about to roar a few words, when he suddenly saw a bloodline fighting an elf on the avenue ahead, and the aftermath of high-level supernatural power destroyed many houses.
"Isn't there anyone to stop it" Aalto's decree is so relaxed, that there is no need for the church to call, maybe after a while, they will kill each other cleanly Antek's voice suddenly became strange, half amused and half confused: "Fernando, you have pretended to be a girl" "How do you know" Fernando was startled, how could this matter reach Aalto Antek pointed to him, "She's right here." ” Fernando looked to his right hand in dismay, only to see a petite red-eyed beauty standing side by side with him, but her figure was slightly blurred.
He was at first dazed, and then suddenly said: "This Aalto City is my dream" "No, it's our dream."
Antek replied with a smile, and when it came to the subject, his timidity disappeared a lot.
"Ours is theirs," Fernando frowned and pointed to the humans, elves, dragons, bloods, and dwarves around him.
Antek nodded: "This is the dream of all the creatures of the real Aalto, you enter here, you naturally join the dream, and in such a dream, it is difficult to hide the traitor." ” "This level is not something that your teacher can achieve, is it impossible for him to break through to the third order of the legend, and it is impossible for the third order of the legend" Fernando also has an in-depth study of illusions, and has read many books analyzing the examples of legendary battles.
Antek laughed and said, "You forgot that Prince Dracula is in Aalto. ”:
