Outside the Strange Rock City, Mirin Karantso walked into the rainforest outside the city with one hundred and thirty-seven orc warriors.I pulled out a directional teleportation scroll from my magical beltpack, unfolded it, and recited a short spell before a portal wrapped in an arc of electricity appeared in front of me.The arc of electricity glows brightly in the dark night and joins into a curtain of light.I glanced at the bushes where Karantso had disappeared, and without hesitation, I led Katerina across the portal and returned to the eastern part of Strange Rock City.The portals filled with electric arcs were particularly conspicuous at night, and the portals that appeared in the eastern part of Strange Rock City quickly attracted the attention of the knights of the guard battalion, who were dressed in iron armor like canned scalps and rode on ancient Bolai horses, galloping through the open streets, passing Caterina and me.They didn't seem to want to interrogate us, but after searching around the place where the portal appeared, they found that nothing had happened, and there were no traces of the battle, so they didn't continue the search.The way they patrol the city on horseback is majestic on such a moonlit and snowy night.On the way back to the Hollien Hotel, Caterina and I didn't have the luxury of continuing to use the directional teleportation scroll, and the stars in the night sky receded, revealing a fish-belly white in the sky, and seeing that it was almost dawn, we decided to walk back along the pedestrian street of the city's Central Boulevard.The morning humidity in Qiyan City was relatively high, and the whole city was shrouded in a faint haze.The sky is getting brighter, but the fog in the city is getting thicker.The night watchmen in the city turned off the street lights on every street in the city, and the citizens of Strange Rock City began to take to the streets one after another, and in order to fill their stomachs, the poor people had to go out of their homes early and wait in advance at the places where they were recruiting workers in various parts of the city.Recently, business in the various workshops in Strange Rock City has become more and more sluggish, and the number of unemployed people in Strange Rock City has gradually increased, and the city is losing its former vitality.Pedestrians on the street look numb, their eyes lingering in front of the morning mist street food stalls, but few actually go up to buy even the most ordinary piece of hash brown.The bustle of the morning and the bustle of the night made me feel as if I were in two different cities.When the sun shines through the mist, the city lights up.We walked out of the Hollien Inn and came to the front of the avenue in Civic Center Plaza.Ying Li, Helena, and Becky got on a magic caravan and went to the Doge's Palace to visit the Archon Marquis of Norman, the Archon of Strange Rock City, and the Minotaur Ruka became their bodyguard and accompanied them all the way, and the magic caravan drove away from the Hollien Hotel, Helena's little hand stretched out of the window and waved back and forth, becoming crystal clear in the sunlight.Not long after the magic caravan that Ying Li was riding in left, another magic caravan came, and Anne and Sula took Erica to the magic caravan, and they planned to see the place where Anne used to live, and by the way, they stopped by the cathedral of Santa Fea in Strange Rock City, and I was worried that they would be in trouble, so I asked Justus to protect them.While Caterina and I were waiting for the next magic caravan at the entrance of the hotel, some adventurers came out of the hotel, some left the hotel in a hurry, some wandered along the side of the street, and some walked through the Civic Center Square to the Mercenary Association on the opposite side to collect their quests.Many adventure groups do not simply take on the client's mission, or hunt monsters and collect herbs in the wild, they often combine these things, and when performing the client's tasks, they will collect magic herbs at will, or when hunting monsters, they will see if there is a suitable task on the mercenary association.Strange Rock City is a city full of adventurers, and the mercenary guild here is also the most lively place in the city.In contrast, the mercenary association in El City is pitifully small, the mercenary association in my memory is located on the street between the free market and the horse market in El City, belonging to the slums in El City, and there are some wandering orcs everywhere on that street, as long as they are willing to take out a piece of cake, they can make the group of orc homeless people do something like running errands or carrying bags.In the morning, before the sun came out of the clouds, there were many people gathered outside the mercenary association in Strange Rock City.A vendor with a basket of fruit on his head passed in front of me, and I reached out and felt for two balas in it, and then threw a dozen copper plates into the copper pot hanging from his chest, and the vendor turned to me and bowed to me, and motioned that I could choose a few more fruits.Street vendors also like to carry trays on their heads.There is a breakfast in Strange Rock City that wraps all kinds of fruits and vegetables into a crispy cake, and adds some mayonnaise and salt, which tastes sweet and sour, with a little salty and salty taste, which is a little unaccustomed to us, but it is a favorite food of people in Strange Rock City.The mysterious disappearance of the six Assassins in the Hollien Hotel last night did not affect the daily lives of the guests in the hotel, and the group hiding in the shadows will probably have to reassess our strength, and in any case, even if they still have a move, they probably won't choose to work in the Hollien Hotel, at least I think."
Magical Guild!"
I was standing on the side of the street, and the magic caravan stopped in front of me, and I looked up and said to the coachman.The coachman took off his melon skin hat and said respectfully to me, "You will need to pay a silver hammer, honorable magician. ”With that, he jumped out of his seat nimbly and helped us open the door.Caterina boarded the carriage, his eyes drifted to the carriage, and Caterina glared at him casually, as if she had been drenched on her head with a basin of cold water, she instantly sobered up, panicked and boarded the royal seat, raised her whip and whipped it on the horse's stock, and the magic caravan went less than a hundred meters along the central avenue, turning into another road.Pedestrians along the way avoided me, and the scenery on both sides of the street passed by me.The Magical Guild in Strange Rock City is a five-story circular tower-like building, like a birthday cake with many tiers.In addition to the evenly distributed Roman columns, the outer cloister of the tower is carved with elaborate patterns in the arched doorway, and the flag of the Magic Guild is waving in the wind on the high roof of the tower, and those with a flag on each floor are dazzling when viewed from a distance.The tower of the Magic Guild is far less magnificent than the Tower of Pride in the Imperial Capital, and its area is less than one-tenth of that of the Tower of Pride, but when it comes to the exquisite reliefs on the Tower of Magic, it is the most eye-catching part of this tower.The people of the Grimm Empire liked to carve epic-like images into buildings or make statues in squares to preserve.The tower of the Magic Guild is next to the library of Strange Rock City, covering an area of less than an acre, and the top floor of the tower is only about one-third of the ground floor.The magic caravan stopped at the door of the magic union, and Caterina and I stepped out of the magic caravan just in time to see a large group of magicians walking into the magic tower in twos and threes.Some people walked in a hurry, some held a magic book in their hands, held a ceplum roll and fruit salad while reading and walking, and some whispered to their friends.The magicians of the Magic Guild here in Strange Rock City are more like the officials of the administrative departments of the Imperial Capital, just like those office workers who work from 9 to 5.The magicians in the imperial capital rarely appear outside the magic tower so early, and walk into the magic tower on time, the magicians in the imperial capital live more freely, there is no strict sense of the binding law, they often turn day and night upside down, and many magicians often appear in the office of the magic union after afternoon tea.As for the lifestyle of the magicians in the imperial capital, it is even more casual, such as the Yerkis scholar, he likes to sleep with Eve from morning to afternoon, and likes to go to the magic laboratory of the research institute at night to engage in the study of magic runes, of course, he was originally to cater to my schedule, but now he has developed this bad habit of sleeping during the day and staying up late at night.I reached out and wiped the magic badge on my chest, it was a silver magic badge that symbolized an intermediate magician, with a golden magic pattern embedded in it, and my own magic mark underneath the badge, which can be said to be my professional credentials as a magician.I followed the flow of people into the Magic Guild, and the guards at the door looked at me and Katarina, and I thought he would stand up and interrogate him, and was thinking about how to deal with him, but I didn't expect that after a few glances, he would look at the people behind him, and ignore us.The rotunda on the first floor of the Magic Tower was very spacious, and the magicians were scattered into the various rooms of the Magic Tower from here, and I stood in the middle of the hall, not knowing where to go.Looking around, he saw that the reception desk was next to a waterfall backdrop, and he walked over with Katerina.Two young magic apprentices in front of the reception desk were chatting in a whisper, and I just heard them talk, "Didn't you go to a private auction last night?"
I took a picture of something good, and I took it out and showed it. ”"Tell me more!
I was optimistic about a magic shield scroll, but unfortunately it was robbed by those of the pharmacy department, who always bought magic items at a premium with money bags and drums, and hated as much as they wanted. ”"Who made them assistants in the magic potion department, and now you don't know the market of magic herbs, it keeps rising all day long, and a bottle of spirit potion is simply sold at a sky-high price!"
The two magical assistants in front of the reception desk looked quite good, and when they saw me coming over, they stopped chatting and asked me with a smile, "Your Excellency, is there anything I can do for you?"
”"Ahem, is the registration of the alien magician here?"
It's the first time I've done this, and I don't really understand the process on the Magic Guild side."
Well, Your Excellency the Magician, it's in the Magical Public Official's Data Room on the second floor, and you're not a local magician?"
Perhaps it was because I didn't have a local accent, one of the magical assistants asked curiously."
I'm from the imperial capital."
I replied."
If you're here for the first time, I can take you to the reference room."
One of the magical assistants said immediately.I didn't expect the magical assistants of the Magic Guild in Strange Rock City to be so diligent, originally I only expected them to tell me how to go, but I didn't expect one of the magical assistants to come out of the reception desk and lead the way in front of me, leading me directly to the magic public official data room in the archives area on the second floor.When the magicians are training in the Grimm Empire, they will look for the local magic union as soon as they arrive in a strange city, and then register their identities, mainly to record the whereabouts of the magicians, in principle, the local magic union should provide security for the safety of all the magicians in the Grimm Empire in the jurisdiction, although it seems difficult to do this, but this is also a disguised protection for the magician nobles.The room was filled with large bookshelves, rows of materials were neatly placed on the shelves, and the magical assistants in the data room were sorting out the materials on the shelves, and when they saw someone walk in, a young female magician came from the bookshelf, sat down at the table and asked us, "Your Excellency the magician, do you want to register personal information?"
”I sat down in front of the sorceress and said, "Yes. ”The magical assistant at the reception desk nodded to me, turned and walked out.I took off the magic badge from my chest, handed it to the sorceress, and asked her, "Can I register on my behalf?"
”The sorceress didn't raise her head, she just took my magic badge and copied the personal information on my magic badge into the parchment book, and the goose pen in the witch's hand swiped on the paper, and there was a rustling sound, and she stopped writing and said to me, "Of course, but you have to provide their magic badge, and I will note your name after their name, is that okay?"
”"In that case, please register the profiles of these two magicians as well."
I took out the magic badges of Ying Li and Erica-senpai and helped them register in the data room.Then I asked the sorceress, "I would venture to ask, can I check the information of my two friends here?"
”The female magician finally raised her head, stared at me in surprise, and refused: "That's not okay, each magician's personal information is confidential, only members of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team have such power, if you want to investigate your friend's personal information registered here, you must get the consent of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team." ”Then she was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she added: "Recently, there have been a lot of people looking for information in this area, and the Magic Guild has become much stricter in this regard, so we can only do things according to the rules." ”Hearing her say this, my heart sank, and I had to say, "Okay, I'll try it." ”She pushed the three magic badges in front of me, then sat up straight, pointed to the right side, and said to me, "The headquarters of the Law Enforcement Corps in Qiyan City is on the third floor, and when you turn right when you go out, you can see the stairs leading to the third floor. ”Walking out of the magical bureaucracy's library, Caterina and I looked at each other, and it seemed that many of the other mages in Strange Rock City had encountered this situation
