The Red Mage

Regardless of the usual chaos in the region, there is probably nothing to fault about the scenery alone, despite the pleasant summer climate of the Falling Star Coast, with the moist and warm sea breeze and the not-so-rough shore stroking the fine sand on the shore, the scattered crabs and turtles crawling on the beach, and the dense coastal vegetation swaying in patches of dàng ripples.

The domed roof of the waterfront is filled with music, and the domed theater is also a famous sight at the West Gate, where traveling circuses occasionally stop by a large number of wealthy merchants and nobles, far more than the city's trembling thumb colosseum.

After all, the exalted sight of a naked slave fighting an equally naked beast is a tiny fraction of the crowd.

However, it may be the great generation gap brought about by crossing time and space, and some of the tricks may still make Penny feel some interesting and study the mystery with great interest, and the long opera after that seems a little boring.

He didn't have an aristocratic upbringing, so naturally he couldn't dig out any connotation from the bursts of ghosts and wolves, and have a sense of appreciation, maybe what could make him pay attention was just the realistic scenes and gorgeous special effects that transcended the times, but when he saw through these illusions created by a lame illusionist, he completely lost interest.

Fortunately, the reason for this is not because of the size of the seat on the right of this crappy opera

The beauty looked at the ghost crying wolf howl on the stage for a while, but she was relishing, and then Penny began to think about the bloody dramas he had watched in his previous life when he was passing the time, and what it would be like if these two women saw it.

Luckily, the little girl from the same country as him didn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing, and she watched the illusion on the stage with great interest, as if looking for a loophole in the spell.

Children of this age probably know that they are looking for fun, and many adults find inexplicable things that can make them happy for a long time, even if they are born in a place like Searle, it is difficult to completely stifle the innocence that belongs to childhood.

There is no interest in opera, so the wizard has to turn his head to look at the beauties next to him, in a region like the Dragon Coast, there is naturally no fù person who will wrap himself tightly in the summer, it is too stupid to find guilt for himself, so both Vika and Hickel are dressed very coolly, under the translucent tulle huā edge, the soft skin exudes a yòuhuò light, which makes people can't help but want to pinch it a few times.

Penny was certainly not a very patient guy when it wasn't a big deal, his arm went around Hiccol's thin waist and pinched it on Vicka's half-out arm, as if intoxicated by the drama and unresponsive to such an action, Vica continued to stare intently at the stage, which made the wizard uninteresting, and he couldn't take any further action, so he could only choose the last path to pass the time.

He yawned and wanted to doze off, when there was a laugh from Vikka, he turned his head sleepily and looked at her holding Hickel, two beauties looking at him with four eyes, Vika had a smile on her face, and gently tugged Hickel's hair: "Look, he didn't take us to heart at all, he came to watch the play with us, and he was about to fall asleep like this." "I can't blame me. Penny shrugged his shoulders and looked at the clown on the stage: "You called me out, and arrived at this place without saying a few words, and then ignored me, since you can't just walk away without grace, then you have to think of other ways to pass the time." ”

"Vika, we really shouldn't have woken him up. Hiccor puffed out his cheeks and looked up at Vika: "Just leave him here alone when the play is over, and see what kind of demeanor he has." ”

Feeling the faint resentment in this sentence, the wizard was a little inexplicable, and it was even more unclear to know that these two women were deliberately ignoring themselves.

"Pan, you've disappeared again inexplicably. "You know how surprised we were when Elder Milìa brought the news to Vika, it was so dangerous that you still had to stay there. ”

This time, even Vika's face was obviously unhappy, and Penny spread his hands helplessly: "No way, plan... It's always time for change, and I'm always faced with adventure. "That sounds like a lot of life. Vika sneered, Hickor rolled her eyes, and finally sighed again: "You said that you will let us know later, you are not trustworthy at all, and you always hide some things from us." ”,

Hearing such complaints, the wizard was speechless, and could only silently bear such condemnation.

Whether it's the black robe of Hyrust or something about the Imaska Empire, all of them have bombshell-like power, and if too many people know that he is carrying half of the world-destroying thing, the lives of his relatives and friends will explode immediately.

Even now, in the face of a large number of things in front of him, he feels a little overwhelmed.

"Alright, baby, it looks like he already knows his mistake. Vika smiled and shook the still angry girl: "Wait for him to correct it slowly." ”

"He can't change it. Hickel snorted, but her movements softened, and she rose to her feet, sat down in the wizard's chair, and squeezed him into the seat between her and Vika, and then Penny was pressed against two fragrant bodies.

"It's a rare day off, don't be too nervous. Vika whispered in his ear, "It is said that the people of the Coast Association are interested in making you the vice president of the association, which is a good position, although it is not conducive to concentrating on the study of spells, but it is very beneficial to your career." The wizard shook his head: "This matter is relatively slim, and we can't expect too much.

Although the vice president of the association is a position of power, it is suppressed by the president, more like an occasional coolie ornament, although some wizards who are obsessed with arcane arts do not take this position seriously, but there are not a few people who covet the rights that may be obtained by standing in this position.

With Penny's strength, he may be worthy of this position, but he is a newcomer, and his lack of qualifications in this plane is also an important factor restricting people's progress, not to mention whether those association wizards will allow a stranger to point fingers at the distribution of benefits that belong to them, even Penny himself thinks that it is a bit hasty to hold such a position.

He didn't refuse to be in power, but it came at an inopportune time.

"You are arrogant, Pan, Elder Milìya has inherited a lot of favors from you, and Elder Xiao Brandant is not disgusted with you, in their eyes, behind you stand a lot of Simon's power, which is of great value, so you can try. 、，

"Can you try it?" the mage pondered the word for a moment and began to think seriously about the possibility of success.

He didn't miss any opportunity to expand his power, although it didn't come at the right time, but if he missed this opportunity, there would be no such good thing in the future.

The Wizards of the Coast Association doesn't have a vice president every day.

"Don't talk about these boring things. Hiccor pursed his lips in dissatisfaction: "What is the vice president?

Her puffed face came to the wizard's eyes, and the two spots of pink on the pale background that had just recovered from illness were extremely bright, even the dimly lit theater could not hide it, Penny couldn't help but peck at this face, and the two pieces of pink on her cheeks suddenly spread to the roots of her ears and neck, and her gaze was also hazy, and her body moved closer with the wizard's embrace.

This atmosphere added a bit of comfort to the already casual atmosphere, but soon a small head broke it all, and she emerged from the space in front of the mage xiōng, which was already not too large, and turned a bulging little face towards the wizard.

"Nephi. Penny looked at the little girl's eyes a little helplessly, and then looked at the small space in front of him: "When you grow up a little more, there will be no room for you here"

The little girl blinked and laughed slyly, like a cute little fox.

In public, such a reckless hug is undoubtedly a very conspicuous move, and it is not surprising that some young men with the fire of hope see all this, and feel envious, jealous and hateful, in fact, in literature in all aspects, this situation is widely used as a habitual means to provoke conflicts.

However, in this theater, the person who is angry about this is not an aspiring young man with a sperm brain, and the reasons for the conflict are also different.

As the only male heiress of the Ed Méng family, and the sibling brother of Vika Ed Méng, Claude Méng is shameless and drunk, and is generally identified as a fool by the nobles of Simon City, who believe that if Ed Méng's family business falls into the hands of this ruined family, it will definitely make this signboard that has been shining on the Dragon Coast for hundreds of years fall into the yīn ditch within ten years, and the old man of Ed Méng is also very aware of this, so he entrusted the property to the shrewd and world-seen eldest daughter Vika before falling ill, for thisClaude Edéngt's reaction was not as resentful as that of his son, who was usually taken away from his inheritance. ,

Although he has been doing countless stupid things all day long, this does not mean that this boy is a lump of paste in his head, just as anyone has advantages and flaws, in addition to his miserable flaws, there is also a rare self-knowledge of idle idiots~ He knows very well that with his own ability, Ed Méngt's family business falling into his hands will only be a dead end, and most of the outsiders who want to help him seize power are ill-intentioned, which is not as reliable as blood relations.

With Vika in charge of the family business, he can guarantee that in his lifetime, he can rely on a part of the equity he inherited to go down with peace of mind, and he understands this shrewd woman, compared to her shrewdness, her heart is actually very soft.

But what Claude knows better is that there is another connection in this world, which can have a very huge impact on blood ties, especially for women, and that is the love that a son like him basically does not believe.

He didn't believe in it, but he grew up in the chaotic land of the Dragon's Coast, and he had seen countless men and women do so stupid and stupid things for an inexplicable impulse that even he, a gentleman, could not bear to see.

And he knows better that most people who know how to use this weapon have bad intentions, if Vika is seduced away by such a man with bad intentions, and the purpose of this man is Ed Mégette's family property or for various reasons to look at Claude unpleasantly, then with the intelligence of a woman in love who has descended to the freezing point, wouldn't Claude, a rice worm parasitic on Ed Méngt's branches, end up bad?

And Claude also knew that it was too difficult for a young woman who was physically mature to suppress that kind of hope, and for the sake of his future, he had to settle for the next best thing and take Vica's marriage into his own hands.

Claude still remembers that the witch who was held by Vika was offended by this guy after a drunken time, which is not the most important thing, but more importantly, this man is definitely not a guy who can be easily manipulated, and it is important that Vika's husband must obey Claude in the future.

So he turned to the man standing respectfully next to him: "Shukoladi, go, sāo disturb them." "This man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and handsome. Dressed appropriately, if you don't care about the tuxedo that represents the family shì, most people who see him will think that he is a noble son of a certain family, his coordinated facial features exude a poet-like temperament at any time, and the vaguely visible muscle outline under the sleeves also makes people know that he has nothing to do with the word weak and can't help the wind.

For women, such a man is undoubtedly full of power.

In the Claude program... He is the grandson of Ed Méng's current butler, and the whole family has been serving Ed Méngte for more than two hundred years, and Claude thinks that the characteristics of men who can attract women are nothing more than a few kinds of power, talent, and exquisite skills in a certain aspect, and as Vica's brother, Claude knows that power cannot attract his eldest sister, but if it comes to talent and some kind of kung fu, the object he chooses is absolutely impeccable。

And Vika is still not interested in him.

But no matter what, Claude would not allow an unknown wizard to get his hands on Ed'Méngt's estate, and when he saw that Huccoladi did not react, he raised his eyebrows in anger: "Dear Huccoladi, have you missed my instructions?" "No, dear young master. Schucoladi shook his head, and then glanced at the men and women huddled together in the distance, his slender eyebrows pressed down slightly, looking a little more gloomy: "It's just that that method will be disgusted by Miss, I'm afraid it will backfire." ”

"So you're huddled here like a coward?" Shocorradi's voice was flawless in high and low tones, very pleasant for a man, but it made Claude raise his eyebrows, and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"Of course it's not the young master..."Shukoradi owed: "You can leave for a while, I have some other solutions for this kind of scene, maybe it can be more effective, but it's not suitable for you to watch......"

"You mean" A strange light flashed in Claude's eyes, and he looked up and down at the respectful Schukoladi, and nodded for a long time: "Okay, okay, solve it as soon as possible, and wait for your good news." ,

"Yes" Seeing Claude leave, Schulcoradi looked at the wizard for a long time, hid in a dark corner on the sidelines, and wiped a ring from his hand.

A ruby on the ring was large and translucent, very beautiful, when the finger of Schulkoradi rubbed the surface of the gem, a bright light appeared in it, like an eye with open pupils, a black mist floated out of it, but the shape was condensed, and fell on the half of Claude's body, gradually piling up to the height of a person, the black mist dissipated, and a woman wearing a black sè collared robe appeared in place.

"Mistress Lavinia. Hukoradi got down on one knee respectfully: "Our plans are in trouble." ”

"Oh, is that young lady so difficult to deal with?" she turned slowly, and as soon as she raised her hand, Xiukoradi's body straightened: "It's superfluous to salute in this kind of place, it's better to hurry up and make things clear, I'm in a hurry." ”

Schukoladi didn't dare to sniff hard in front of the adult, but a breath of yín still wafted a short distance into his nose, which made his nose tickle a little, but he didn't dare to do anything unusual.

He knew that whenever Lavinia smelled like this, it meant that there were singular or plural men who had been turned into withered corpses under her relatives, and although there were a few who survived, Hukoradi was not sure if he had enough value to survive in Lavinia's eyes—he was not a Blood, but a collaborator who had made a pact with the dark creatures.

So he explained the ins and outs succinctly, and this boring performance certainly made Lavinia a little dismayed, and knowing the situation, she waved her hand to drive Shukoradi away, and then recited a spell, and another younger male vampire appeared beside her with a black mist.

"Look at that man, Duncan. Lavinia gestured to the wizard's seat, "According to the description and some information, he looks like your enemy. She didn't hear the vampire's answer, but the hatred on the male vampire's face as he looked at the chair undoubtedly answered her, and she pressed Walken's shoulder: "You should be happy by now that this man is blocking our path to control the Ed Méng family." ”

The former mage apprentice whose face had turned pale to gray, and whose mouth had also become gray because of the dark blood, took two deep breaths before calming his thoughts, and he barely maintained his tone like that of an ordinary vampire, but he couldn't wait to pour out his revenge: "My lord, I'm glad to hear that this guy has embarked on the path of death against us, but I still want to make a suggestion, that is, this wizard is very difficult to deal with. "Not easy to deal with?" Lavinia's eyebrows raised again.

"He once killed two high-ranking yīnhún wizards almost single-handedly, and his magic skills are very strong. Basdy Duncan bowed her head.

Although he wants to get revenge immediately, being a dark creature will only make him more sane and difficult to deal with, not more impulsive.

"So" Lavinia was silent for a while, the repertoire on the opera house stage seemed to have come to an end, her eyes wandered over the women on either side of the wizard for a few seconds, and suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Isn't this a weakness that can be exploited?" she smiled lightly, waved her hand, and the lights above the theater were suddenly extinguished, and she recited two more incantations, and the sound of the music and the actor's ghostly howl lasted for less than two seconds, and then became a pot of boiling water along with the exclamations of the audience. ！。
