Chapter 1246 Zslade
In the Principality of Yali, there is a border city a few hundred miles away from the border of the uninhabited area of the Pamiji Plateau.
The local name is ‘Ephesuswei’, but outsiders like to call it Shepherd City. Because it produces the ice-field rock sheep that are popular in the food industry of the Principality of Yali, and almost every herder living here has his own sheep farm.
Because of the existence of a large number of sheep farms, Shepherd City is not surrounded by high walls like other cities.
Shepherd City is a semi-open city with no city gates, but only guards on certain roads, a bit like Watergrass in the fairy tale world.
However, although Shepherd City is a semi-open city, it does not mean that the city is unsafe. Because it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and they are snow-capped mountains, and the west is close to the Snow River, which comes from the melting snow of the permafrost river on the Pamiji Plateau. There is only one side that can enter the city from a flat road.
There happened to be several steam train tracks on this side. Not only did the transportation company have to guard the tracks, but the soldiers of Shepherd City also strictly controlled them for safety reasons. So in general, safety here is guaranteed.
Near a square in the center of Shepherd City, three figures appeared out of thin air.
Surrounded by commercial areas, people came and went, but after these three figures appeared, no one paid attention to them, as if they did not exist.
Until these three people took action, a few people around noticed them, but there were too many people here, and even if they saw them suddenly appear, some people just thought they were dazzled and did not think much.
Moreover, among these three people, two of them were dressed like nobles in terms of demeanor and momentum. Most people did not dare to look directly at them, let alone think deeply.
The three walked down the square road and soon came to a small hotel.
However, they did not enter the hotel, but walked to the side of the hotel and walked into an alley sandwiched between two high-rise buildings.
The alley was very dark, and the floor was wet and moss-grown because of the lack of light for many years.
"Teacher, where are we going now?" The one who spoke was a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, his hair hanging down, covering the position of his right eye.
The young man was Angel, who had just returned from the abyss. As for the person he was questioning, it was naturally the famous Southern Region God of War - 'Master of Phantom Magic' Sanders.
"I'm going to see an old friend of mine, and by the way, I'm going to ask about the current situation of the Pamiji Plateau." Sanders paused, and his eyes slowly turned to the back of Angel.
Bopota, who was covered by a cloak, trembled all over, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sanders' eyes were dim, and he saw a gray halo flashing on the earrings, and Bopota's figure disappeared.
"Let him stay in the Gravity Garden first." After Sanders finished speaking, he said to Angel, "Come with me."
Along the long alley, they walked all the way to the end.
There was a gas lamp hanging on the wall. The dim light was not very bright, but it illuminated the cursive words on the door at the end very clearly.
"If you are willing to burn the light of your life in exchange for a rose. I think you must be crazy."
Ingres read the cursive words in a row in a flamboyant manner, frowning slightly. He did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Moreover, he did not understand why such a sentence was engraved in front of this door.
Sanders said: "This sentence comes from "The Flower Seller Dancing for Sin", a meaningless novel. But in this book, there is a demon named Zislade, who turned the protagonist from a pauper into a rich businessman, and finally became a knight and a general, and the protagonist paid the corresponding life, soul and emotions. In the end, the protagonist was with a flower girl, and he thought he had broken through the demon's restrictions and gained love. But when they got married, Zislade said that he would do a test. If the protagonist could pass it, then he would not only have love, but also his lost soul and life would be restored."
"The protagonist agreed, so the demon turned the protagonist into a vicissitudes beggar, without a handsome appearance and wealth, in order to test the choice of the flower girl. If the flower girl chooses to continue to marry him, the demon's test will be declared a failure."
"The protagonist I thought the flower girl was still the kind and beautiful girl I met for the first time, but I didn't know that during their relationship, the flower girl had been dazzled by the world of luxury. After tasting the life of a wealthy lady, how could she be willing to follow the protagonist who was getting old and poor. So, the flower girl left before entering the wedding hall. "
After listening to the story told by Sanders, Angel's mouth twitched: "It really sounds meaningless. The devil is not so kind."
"But this cliché story is very famous in the Principality of Yali. The newspaper that serialized this novel has become the largest newspaper in the Principality of Yali."
Angel nodded without comment: "Depicting the betrayal of women and describing the loyalty of the protagonist, this kind of novel is loved by traditional aristocrats. Because the story is often contrary to the facts."
Sanders did not comment, just smiled, walked forward and pushed open the door at the end.
"Let's go in and see my old friend, the kind devil."
Angel was not surprised at all. When Sanders told this story, he had basically guessed who the owner of this room was.
When I walked into the house, I found that it was an antique shop.
The glass display case inlaid with gold edges was filled with antiques from various countries and periods. Among them, Angel even found a spherical navigation instrument from the Silver Age of the Feilan Continent.
There were a wide variety of rare treasures.
Moreover, the light here was sufficient. The light collided with gold and silver utensils, and even a very ordinary item would make people feel very dazzling.
However, for Master Sanders and his apprentice, the antiques here were all ordinary things and could not attract much attention from them.
At this time, a thing like a metal box suddenly spiraled down from the place they were facing. In terms of volume, Angel first thought of a coffin, but when the coffin door was opened, Angel realized that this was probably a... mechanical elevator?
There was an old man in a robe in the elevator. He turned his hunched back to Angel and Sanders, and while talking, he slowly turned around, full of style.
"Those who can walk in must have something in mind. Distinguished guests, are you going to trade your life, or your spirit..." However, halfway through the style, he suddenly stopped. Because he turned his head and faced Sanders' face.
"Uh... ah ha ha ha, it turns out to be Lord Phantom, just pretend I didn't say anything just now." The old man laughed awkwardly, and his previous style instantly fell to the bottom.
He came to the side a little awkwardly and pressed a few buttons.
I only heard the sound of gears turning in my ears, and soon, the tables and chairs turned up from the ground out of thin air.
Angle's eyes flashed with admiration. Although it was just a simple take-off and landing device, it was made very delicately.
After everyone sat down, the old man looked at Angell and looked at him for a long time before saying, "Mr. Phantom, is this your new apprentice? I remember that it should be the 'Music Box Warlock' Angell that is popular in the wizard world?"
Angel's mouth froze, and he said woodenly, "I am indeed Angell, but I don't recognize the Music Box Warlock."
The old man smiled and said, "Your nickname has not been decided yet, and this is what we call privately. The Sky Machinery City can't find your record in the Sky Tower, otherwise, we can directly use the name you recorded in the Sky Tower."
Angel said without hesitation, "That's even worse!"
Angel's reaction was a little excited, which made the old man's eyes flash with doubt. He turned around and looked at Sanders, but saw a rare smile flashing in Sanders' eyes.
The old man seemed to understand something. It was estimated that Angell's name in the Sky Tower was a bit indescribable, which was normal... When he was in the Savage Cave before, the name he registered was "Holy King of Truth". If he really went out with this name, he would be laughed at.
But he also understood this mentality. As a teenager, it is normal for him to feel that the world revolves around him.
Thinking of this, he suggested to Angel: "If you want to clear 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."
Angel nodded. Although the name is not a big deal, it would be boring to call himself a music box sorcerer every time he met someone in the future. It would make him seem like he could only make music boxes.
Sanders finally spoke at this time, saying to Angel: "He is an old friend of mine. You may have guessed his name. He is Zislade in "The Flower Seller Dancing for Sin". However, he is not a demon. He also comes from the Savage Cave, but he has been gone for almost two hundred years, right?"
"To be precise, it is one hundred and ninety-six years." Zislade sighed and said: "At that time, I was only one year behind Lord Phantom Demon. Now you are already famous in the South Territory, and I am still stuck at the first-level wizard. Alas, I don't know if I can embark on the path of true knowledge in my lifetime."
"Alas, let's not talk about these sad things." Zislade knocked on the metal table, and a mechanical doll floated over, holding a dinner plate in his hand, but the dinner plate was not filled with food, but a few small bags of light green powder.
"Come and try it, I just bought new goods from the wizard market a few days ago."
Zislade placed the small bag in front of Angel and Sanders, but neither of them opened the bag. Only Zislade opened the bag, scooped a spoonful of light green powder into the water cup, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking it, Zislade realized that neither Angel nor Sanders used it. He sighed: "Alas, you are exactly the same as you were back then, and you don't know how to enjoy it at all."
"Relying on Mana Algae Powder to release Shulomon is not a real enjoyment. If you are still addicted to it, it is really hopeless to embark on the path of true knowledge." Sanders pointed out the badness of Mana Algae Powder without hesitation. This thing is addictive. Although it is not harmful to wizards, it wastes time, energy, and even more money.
Zislade paused, sighed, and handed the remaining Mana Algae Powder to the mechanical doll.
"You didn't come here to teach me a lesson? I haven't asked you yet, what do you want to see me for?"
