Chapter 0071 Return to the Principality

If Li Xun wants to choose a close object, gods and mages, Li Xun will not choose.

The gods practiced a typical policy of foolishness. In order to maximize the suppression of the people's faith and maintain the so-called purity of faith, they rejected the technological development of the believers, extinguished the spark of creation, and allowed the aristocratic lordship to be preserved for thousands of years. Under their rule, the people were forever primitive, without weapons against birds of prey and beasts, and without the large-scale development of commerce and industry, the people could only rely on the help of the gods in their loneliness and hunger.

The mages, on the other hand, inherited the arrogance of the Arcanists. The Arcanist's failure was attributed only to personal stupidity and the dispersion of power. Standing at the pinnacle of knowledge, the mage thought he could control a qiē, and classified himself as an otherworldly being like a god, no longer paying attention to the suffering of the people, but simply oppressing. For this reason, even the undead who exterminated a qiē dared to cultivate, wanting to tame them into an obedient beast and tear the enemy's helpers for themselves, I really don't know who gave them the courage and confidence.

For these two different categories, Li Xun is very disdainful. He always felt that he should take a special path that was different from theirs, a sustainable path that could give back to the world and be recognized by the world. However, he has not yet figured out how to go, and it still needs time and knowledge precipitation.

Time and knowledge, two things that are forever scarce!

Putting away the abyssal dirt copper, and exerting the power of removing the curse and dispersing the remaining curse on himself, Li Xun's heart was surging for a while. Walking to the porthole and pushing open the small window, letting the cold moonlight spill into the room, Li Xun patrolled the sparkling sea and stood quietly for a long time.

……

7 days later, the port of Ancona in the Duchy of Novis.

The port of Ancona sits on a slanted peninsula, and at the northern end of the island two large sharp headlands jut out in two directions, northeast and northwest, forming a large oval harbor. The northeastern headland stretches farther out into the sea, and at the top of the headland is a lighthouse made of huge basalt stones, which can be seen at night at least fifty miles above the sea. Because the headland winds deep into the sea, although the headland sticking out to the northwest is not as far as the northeast headland, the terrain on the headland is quite flat, and the headland is several hundred meters wide and the waist is much straighter, and there is also a lighthouse at the top of the headland, but this lighthouse is much shorter. The tips of both headlands resemble the claws of scorpions and crabs, with a small fork, hence the names East and West Chelicera.

The two headlands extend outward into the sea of gems to form an arc-shaped island arc, and the inner line of the island arc becomes a natural deep-water harbor, and a series of wharves of different sizes along the island arc look staggered, particularly neat and concise. Beyond the arc of the island is excellent fishing grounds, and the chain of looming islands and reefs along the arc is the most famous coral source of the Gem Sea.

Noon is the busiest time of the day, with large and small ships docked at the various wharves, busy loading and unloading cargo, tax collectors in brown robes standing on the shore and pointing, and the merchants surrounding the vicinity nodding and bowing.

Li Xun, who was standing on the bow of the boat, looked at this busy and noisy life with joy on his face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy, and wanted to jump into it immediately and sniff the long-lost life. It is said that in the past 18 years that Li Xun has lived, 17 years have been the lowest level of small citizens, squatting on the streets and alleys to eat some cheap snacks, peeking at the white thighs of passing beauties, scolding a few unpleasant petty officials, and bargaining with the street vendor boss. This kind of life is the rhythm he is familiar with, and it is the life he has experienced. Perhaps only by standing among them can Li Xun find the legendary ease and carelessness.

"You like this life?" A sudden questioning interrupted his recollection.

"Probably! I've been living like this before! As a mage apprentice, it is really not easy to make a living. Li Xun completed the arming of his thoughts in an instant, put on the reserved and elegant smile of the mage, and looked back at Xilis who walked behind him with a smile: "Haven't you ever flowed?" How was your Mage Trial completed? ”

Cialis looked at him calmly, and heard a hint of insincerity in his words, sighed secretly in her heart, raised her eyebrows and bowed her head: "I have already contacted the teacher." The carriage sent by the teacher may be waiting for me on the shore! You and Master Casas have taken good care of me along the way, and I hope to say thank you. ”

Li Xun hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "When I arrive in the principality, can I still see you?" ”

Cialis rarely floated a red glow, she didn't expect Li Xun to ask so directly: "Of course, I'm going to live in Pyrbon for a long time." As long as you can come, I will be happy to host you! ”

Hehe laughed a few times, Li Xun stroked his nose and didn't know what to say for a while! The almost blank experience of interacting with girls in his previous life not only did not give him any substantial help, but also brought him double the stupidity. However, following the princess's red cheeks, Li Xun noticed that she was dressed differently today.

The sea breeze blows the skirt as white as snow, the golden hair under the azure round-brimmed sunhat flutters in the wind, the blue and flawless eyes, the two dimples that seem to appear on the beautiful jade are still so plucking the deepest strings in people's hearts, the white porcelain-like pink neck is as delicate and lovely as a swan, and the coquettish expression of the teeth biting the lower lip.

Oh my God, the sluggish Li Xun only now found out that Xilisi was not wearing the usual mage robes, but was dressed as a formal princess, which made him couldn't help but be amazed.

Looking at the intoxicated and infatuated look in the other party's eyes, Princess Cialis felt a little satisfied, playfully made a court salute, and turned to walk to the pedal with the support of the maid.

Li Xun watched her get off the merchant ship, and under the guidance of a man who had been waiting for a butler on the dock for a long time, he boarded the four-wheeled carriage and sailed away. Li Xun's face seemed to be sad and happy, and his heart was sour, and it took a long time to find Casas standing beside him and thinking about it.

"Don't think too much about it! I have nothing to do with her. Li Xun hurriedly defended, to be honest, even he didn't know why he was in a hurry to justify.

"It's okay if I think too much, I'm just afraid that you think too much." Casas sighed unsatisfactorily.

“……”

Now that the princess has been picked up, this mission is officially completed, and now is the happy moment to receive the reward. Unfortunately, the quest reward still needs to be collected at the Principality Mage Guild in Pilbon City, so the celebration can only be postponed for a few more days.

After greeting Basar of the Pisa Comptoir and exchanging contact information, Li Xun and his entourage found a hotel near the port area under the leadership of Casas.

With the departure of Princess Xilis's master servant and 4 family knights, Li Xun's team is only left with 2 mages, 3 principality knights, and 1 forest ranger. After nearly 4 months of getting along, they have become very familiar with each other, and now that they are back in their own country, a sense of security at home is accompanied by the grief of losing their comrades, and people can't help but want to get drunk. Casas was very understanding and gave the four of them a one-night vacation, and went to the city hall alone to contact the escort, while Li Xun flew solo again.

Walking freely on the most prosperous streets of Puerto Ancona, taking off his mage robe and wearing a simple aristocratic dress, Li Xun is a down-and-out aristocratic young master. Li Xun didn't have a specific goal, nor did he have anything to do, just walked forward along the flow of people, occasionally stopping to watch something he was interested in, and unconsciously came to the door of a tavern. Looking up at the huge wine glass on the signboard, Li Xun thought about it sideways, but decided to visit.

Aren't the legendary down-and-out princes, princesses of the Qiao family, and reclusive masters all like to stay in taverns and wait for people to claim them? Then I'm going to experience it. With all kinds of strange thoughts, Li Xun pushed open the hidden door and walked into the tavern, and the noisy sound instantly drowned him out. From the rough signboard, it was a place where the inferior people gathered, and at noon, it was already full of sailors, porters, adventurers, and the like, all of whom looked red-headed and had obviously drunk a lot. Li Xun slowly walked to the counter, his eyes swept over the entire lobby, except for seeing a mage apprentice in the corner, he didn't find any interesting characters, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Avoiding a few oblique limbs, Li Xun sensitively felt a slight malice, glanced back lightly, and stared at a young man who was quietly stretching his hand to his waist. The young man coldly made a look at Li Xun, his body stiffened suddenly, as if he saw something terrible, screamed and retreated, bumped into a few drinkers who were in the way, and staggered out of the tavern.

This sudden situation immediately shocked a group of drinkers who had been heated by alcohol, and those who were in the way of Li Xun began to unconsciously move their bodies and give up their positions. Li Xun walked straight to the counter as if unconscious, threw out a gold coin, and said simply: "The best barbecue and the best wine!" ”

Since the soul talent was upgraded to soul sanction, Li Xun has never fought the enemy in close combat, so he rarely uses soul coercion. Last time, I tried it when I subdued the dark priestess Zena, and it could effectively suppress the opponent's thinking activity and shock the soul, but it was for the dark elves with high resistance, and today it was suddenly used on an ordinary person, and it actually produced an effect similar to that of the fear technique. In retrospect, it seems that the harpy of the sea and the dwarf underground have consciously or unconsciously avoided their position during the battle, could it be that the coercive effect of the soul sanction is at work? If it's true, then it's equivalent to bringing a mosquito repellent, and I'm no longer afraid of mosquito bites in summer, but do those mosquitoes have souls?

Li Xun's eyes fell on the tavern owner, but his faint gaze had already made him feel at a loss. Li Xun restrained his mental strength a little, and the fat boss wiped his sweat, nodded and served a glass of wine, and then turned his head and walked to the back kitchen under the pretense of urging the kitchen to serve the best barbecue to the guests. When he turned into the corridor and got out of the sight of the mysterious man, the fat boss leaned against the wall and gasped. It's terrifying! Just a brief glance with the young man, he seemed to see the man-eating beast from the black eyes, a chill from the bottom of his heart, people couldn't help but tremble their teeth, trembling hands and feet, always trying to find a safe place to hide. However, this feeling only existed for a few seconds, and then disappeared without a trace, but the clear feeling still remained in Zài's memory, always reminding him. Now I know why that little deflated Sankar ran out with a strange scream like a ghost possession.

Do you want such a terrible person to ask the meeting and find out the details? But as soon as he thought of this thought, those black eyes inexplicably emerged from the bottom of his heart, and the fat boss was so shocked that the fat boss jumped wildly, and he quickly dispelled the thought, and this feeling gradually subsided. The fat boss even called the evil door, and didn't dare to use any crooked brains, so he hurriedly scolded the bastard cook who was lazy and lazy, and didn't hurry to entertain the mysterious master with the best things.
