It's night.

The night was like a huge curtain covering the four fields, and the earth was silent, not even the sound of insects, as if falling into a permanent sleep. But when you look down, you will find a lively scene in many places, like a sleeping dream.

Winter has arrived, but the world is still moving.

On the plain, a large river rushes in, the water mixed with broken ice, and the flow makes a "rattle" sound.

"Squeak and squeak", wooden boats carefully navigate the river, dodging ice floes and reefs, and finally reach the pier. The poor coolies on the wharf, dressed in thin clothes, poured into the warehouses of the wooden boats by the light of the lamps, and laboriously carried the goods out of the wagons, one by one.

In a moment, the porters were already sweating, and more than a dozen wagons were filled. With the sound of the groom's shout, the whip was drawn and flung in mid-air, and the horses sped forward, pulling the wagons full of goods towards the silhouette of the city in the distance.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gates of the city, and after being inspected by the soldiers, it quickly drove into the city.

Somewhere in Emerald City, the doors of an entire warehouse had been opened, waiting for the wagons to rush in and unload the goods. After daybreak, these goods will quickly flow into the shops of the Emerald City, large and small, and sell them to those in need, earning large amounts of gold and silver coins for their owners.

In other places, in many corners of the city and beyond, there are still a large number of other people who are busy, doing different things for food, clothing, profit, or other things.

In a cul-de-sac somewhere in the city, a group of people panted and fisted each other fighting for the territory for which they could collect protection money.

In front of a closed infirmary on a street, several people were anxiously pounding on the door, waking up the nobleman who was going to treat a sudden illness.

In a certain gold cave in the center of the city, the lights are bright and green, the warblers are singing and dancing, and the nobles throw out a lot of money, which provokes the graceful body to scream for a while.

In the thatched hut next to the farmland on the plains, the lights are shining through, and the three thieves are taking stock of the day's profits and distributing the spoils according to the amount of effort.

On the bank of the river, with a scream, a corpse was pushed into the river, killing people......

Unlike the cities of the rest of the country, and unlike the Blue Lion City of the Blue Lion Kingdom, the Emerald River flows through it and has a different kind of prosperity and more nightlife.

After all, in times similar to the Middle Ages, rivers were the real arteries of transportation, and a vast river was more important than a single highway on the modern earth.

Inside and outside the Golden City, it was lively and noisy, and a pair of eyes watched it all from above.

Richard meditated out of his body, the transparent band connected to the physical body, and the spiritual body floated in the air hundreds of meters above the Emerald Golden City, looking down on everything, with a strange calm.

In fact, anyone who looks at the world from this perspective has a kind of emotion that is out of the way, unaffected by emotions, and unusually calm, so there is a saying from God's perspective.

Richard looked at the scene below him, quickly recalling what had happened recently.

It was already his seventh day in Emerald City. When he met with Gro and gave him some psychological burden, Groh left with a heavy heart. And he rented a small courtyard in Emerald Gold City, lived with Pandora for a long time, and waited for the arrival of the mainland wizard while conducting research.

During this period, everything went according to the plan in an orderly manner, and it was not the first time that he was out of the body, and he was already familiar with the layout of the entire Emerald Gold City. In the process, I have also seen a lot of interesting things that happened at night, such as the arrest and rape of a noble young woman who had a tryst with her lover, such as the gang boss being killed by an enemy pawn in a gang fight, and so on.

Turning his head in the air, Richard looked in a certain direction of the Emerald Gold City and saw a large building, which was the royal palace.

Although many parts of the palace were dark, some of them were bright.

The new king, who had just succeeded to the throne, that is, Gero's eldest brother, was extremely diligent, and worked all night every day to deal with political affairs, and ministers and nobles were constantly summoned into the palace overnight to discuss. Therefore, the kitchen, stables, and meeting rooms of the palace are all brightly lit, and there are constantly people and vehicles passing by on the bluestone avenue.

Don't know what Gro is doing?

Richard thought suddenly.

Since Gro left with the ether, it stands to reason that he should have tried to meditate many times, but he has never seen the other person leave his body. Could it be that the other party's wizarding talent is really inferior to this extent?

Thinking about it, Richard controlled his consciousness body to quickly float above the palace, and then easily found the palace where Gro was.

Stopping above Gro's palace for a long time, and finding no movement below, Richard controlled the consciousness body through the roof and descended into Gro's bedroom.

Gro's bedroom was large and empty.

Probably to ensure that the meditation was not affected, there was no maid or guard, only Gro lay upright on the bed.

Richard approached and saw an ether bottle at the head of the bed, and Gro lying on the bed, motionless, like a corpse. In the depths of Gro's body, the consciousness body is constantly vibrating, and it looks like he wants to break free from the shackles of his body. It's just that the restraint from the flesh is extremely strong, and no matter how hard Gero keeps trying, he can't break through, and he tries again and again, but it's the result of failure. Slowly, Gro's face was dripping with sweat, revealing a look of obvious agitation and tiredness.

After Richard looked at it, he estimated that according to normal development, if Gro tried a few more times, the power of the consciousness body would be exhausted, and then he would fall into a deep sleep, and he would not wake up until the next morning.

In this regard, Richard identified two things:

First, Gro still hasn't given up hope of becoming a wizard. Maybe it's because of the unwillingness in my heart, or maybe it's because of something else, but I'm still working hard.

Second, Gro really doesn't have any wizarding talent, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to get out of his body.

Shaking his head, Richard thought about leaving and going to do the rest, but after taking a look at Gro's struggle, he decided to do a good deed and help the other party.

Richard controlled the consciousness and approached Gro, reaching out and touching Gro's body.

Gro's body seemed to feel something, a little vigilant, the muscles of the flesh subconsciously contracted, and the consciousness body was also a little evasive.

Richard didn't care about this, his hand reached directly into Gro's body, grabbed Gro's consciousness body, and burst out of spiritual power, pulling Gro's consciousness body out of the body.

Richard felt like pulling a man out of a swamp, and the process was full of resistance, but fortunately he succeeded in the end.

With a "poof", Gro's consciousness body left his body and floated in midair, a transparent band on the back of his neck connected to his body.

Richard was relieved and looked at Gro's consciousness, ready to say hello, only to find that Gro's consciousness was floating in mid-air and unresponsive, as if he was dead.

Uh, this ......
