The Principality of Yali, a few hundred miles from the border of the uninhabited area of the Pamiji Plateau, has a border city.

The local name is 'Ephesus', but outsiders like to call it the Shepherd City. Because, there are ice field rock sheep that are popular in the food world of the entire Principality of Ali, and almost every farmer who lives here has his own sheep farm.

Because of the large number of sheep pastures, the sheep city is not surrounded by tall walls like other cities.

Shepherd's City is a semi-open city, with no gates, but with guards on some major roads, somewhat like the fairytale world of Vottgrass.

However, although Shepherd City is a semi-open city, it does not mean that the city is not safe. Because it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is also a snowy mountain, and to the west it is close to the Chennau River, which melts from the permafrost river on the Pamiji plateau, and there is only one side that can enter the city from the flat road.

And there happen to be several steam train tracks on this side, and not only the transportation company has to guard the tracks, but the soldiers of Shepherd City also strictly control this for safety reasons. So overall, safety is guaranteed here.

Near a square in the center of Shepherd City, three figures appeared out of thin air.

It was surrounded by a commercial area, and people came and went, but after these three figures appeared, no one looked at them, as if they didn't exist.

It wasn't until the three of them made a move that a few people next to them noticed them, but there were too many people here, and even if they suddenly appeared, some people just thought they were dazzled and didn't think much about it.

Moreover, two of these three people are dressed as nobles, whether they are in style or momentum, and ordinary people dare not look at them directly, let alone think deeply.

The three of them walked down the square road, and soon came to a small hotel.

However, instead of entering the hotel, they walked to the edge of the hotel and entered an alley sandwiched between two tall buildings.

The alley was very dark, and the floor was moist and mossy because of the lack of light all year round.

"Mentor, where are we going now?" spoke a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, his forehead drooping down, obscuring the position of his right eye.

The young man was Ingres, who had just returned from the abyss, and as for the object of his questioning, it was naturally the famous god of war in the Southern Regions, the 'Master of Illusions' Sanders.

"I went to see an old friend of mine and asked me about the current situation in the Pamiji Plateau. Sanderston paused, his gaze slowly turning behind Angels.

Bobota, who was covered by the cloak, trembled and lowered his head without saying a word.

Sanders' eyes darkened, and a gray halo flashed on the stud earrings, and Boporta's figure vanished.

"Let him stay in the Gravity Garden first. After Sanders finished speaking, he said to Angels, "You come with me." ”

Along the long alleyway, they made it all the way to the end.

There was a gas lamp hanging on the wall, the dim light, not very bright, but the flower script by the door at the end was very clear.

"If you are willing to burn the light of life, in exchange for a rose. I think you must be crazy. ”

Angel softly read out the flowery characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in this row, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Moreover, he did not understand why such a passage was engraved in front of this door.

"This quote is from 'The Flower Seller Who Danced for Sin,' and it doesn't make much sense," Sanders said. But in this book, there is a demon named Zislade who makes the protagonist go from a poor man to a rich merchant and finally a knight and a general, and the protagonist pays for his life, soul and emotion. In the end, the protagonist is with a flower girl who thinks he has broken through the demon's restrictions and gained love. But when they get married, Zislade says that he will have to put it to the test, and if the protagonist can pass it, then he will not only have love, but also regain his lost soul and life. ”

The protagonist agrees, so the demon turns the protagonist into a beggar, without his handsome appearance and wealth, and wants to test the choice of a flower girl. If the flower seller chooses to continue marrying him, the demon's test will fail. ”

The protagonist thinks that the flower girl is still the kind and beautiful girl when they first met, but he doesn't know that in their relationship, the flower girl has been dazzled by drunken gold, and after tasting the life of a rich lady, how can she be willing to follow the protagonist who has become old and poor. So, the flower girl left the moment before entering the marriage hall. ”

After listening to the story told by Sanders, the corners of Angle's mouth twitched: "It does sound very meaningless, demons are not so kind." ”

However, this vulgar story is very famous in the Principality of Ali, and the newspaper that serialized this newspaper has become the largest newspaper in the Principality of Ali. ”

Ingres nodded noncommittally: "The portrayal of female apostasy and the loyalty of the protagonist are the favorites of the traditional aristocracy. Because, the story is often the opposite of the truth. ”

Sanders didn't comment, just smiled and stepped forward to push open the door at the end.

"Let's go, go in and see my old friend, the good demon. ”

Ingres wasn't surprised, and from the time Sanders told the story, he had basically guessed who the owner of the room was.

When I walked into the house, I realized that it was a small antique shop.

The gold-rimmed glass display case is full of antiques from various countries and periods, among which Ingres even found a spherical nautical instrument from the flash silver age of the Ferran continent.

Rare treasures, dazzling.

Moreover, there is plenty of light here, and the light collides with gold and silver utensils, and even a very ordinary object will make people feel dazzling.

However, for Sanders' master and apprentice, the antiques here are all ordinary and do not attract much attention from them.

At this moment, directly opposite them, suddenly a metal box descended in a spiral. In terms of volume, Ingres' first thought was the coffin, but when the coffin door was opened, Ingres understood that it was probably a ...... Mechanical elevators?

There was an old man in a robe in the elevator, with his back to Angel and Sanders, and as he spoke, he slowly turned around, full of style.

"Those who can walk in must have something in mind. Honorable guest, are you going to trade your life, or ...... spirit" However, halfway through the fan, he suddenly paused. Because he turned his head and faced Sanders' face.

"Uh...... Aha, it turned out to be Lord Phantom, just because I didn't say anything just now. The old man smiled awkwardly, and the style just now instantly fell to the bottom.

He came to the side a little crampedly, and pressed a few buttons.

I heard the sound of gears turning, and after a while, the tables and chairs spun up from the ground out of thin air.

Ingres' eyes flashed with admiration, although it was just a simple take-off and landing device, but it was very exquisite.

After everyone sat down, the old man looked at Angel and looked at him for a long time before he said, "Your Excellency the Phantom Demon, this is the new apprentice you have adopted?

The corners of Ingre's mouth stiffened, and he said indifferently: "I am indeed Ingres, but I don't recognize the music box warlock." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Now your nickname has not been decided, this is all what we call in private." Sky Mechanic City can't find your record in the Sky Tower, otherwise, you can directly use the name you recorded in the Sky Tower. ”

Angel said without hesitation: "That's even worse!"

Angels' reaction was a little excited, which made the old man's eyes flash with doubt, and he looked back at Sanders, only to see a rare smile in Sanders' eyes.

The old man seemed to understand something, and it was estimated that Angels' name in the Sky Tower was a little indescribable, which was also normal...... When he was in the Barbarian Cave, he was registered as the "Truth King." It's strange that you really have to go out under this name and not be ridiculed.

But he also understands this mentality, boy, he always feels that the world revolves around him, isn't it normal?

Thinking of this, he suggested to Angel: "If you want to correct your name, you might as well pass the news to some influential magazines, or go directly to the Sky Tower to re-register a name, or you can also do it." ”

Ingres nodded, although the name is not a big thing, but every time I meet someone in the future, I will call myself a music box warlock, how boring it is, and I will only refine the music box.

Sanders finally spoke at this point, and said to Angle, "He is an old friend of mine, and you can probably guess the name, it is Zislade in "The Flower Seller Who Dances for Sin." However, he's not a demon, he's also from a savage cave, but he's been gone for almost two hundred years, right?"

"One hundred and ninety-six years, to be exact. Zislade sighed and said, "Originally, I was only one year away from His Excellency the Phantom Demon, and now you are already famous in the Southern Regions, and I am still stuck in the first-level wizard and cannot advance an inch. Alas, I don't know if I will be able to embark on the path of true knowledge in my lifetime. ”

"Well, don't talk about these sad things. Zislade tapped on the metal table, and a mechanical doll floated over, holding a plate, but instead of food, it contained several small bags of pale green powder.

"Come and try it, something new from the Wizard's Bazaar just a few days ago. ”

Zislade placed the bag in front of Angel and Sanders, but neither of them opened it. Only Zislade himself opened the bag, scooped a spoonful of pale green powder into a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, Zislade realized that Ingres and Sanders had not used anyone, and he sighed: "Alas, you have exactly the same personality as you did back then, and you don't know how to enjoy it at all." ”

"Relying on mana algae powder to release sullomon is not a real pleasure. If you are still addicted to this, it is indeed hopeless to embark on the path of true knowledge. Sanders unceremoniously pointed out the badness of mana algae powder, this thing is an addictive thing, although it is not a big harm to wizards, but it is a waste of time and energy, and even more of a waste of money.

Zislade paused, sighed, and handed the remaining mana powder to the mechanical doll.

"You didn't come to teach me a lesson, did you? I haven't asked you yet, what is the matter with you coming to me?"
