Chapter 2543 Kaer
The laws in Queen's Town are more stringent than imagined. The large-scale magic energy array covering the entire Queen's Town has been activated. A large number of magic barriers are erected around the Queen's Town, like a square dome, wrapping the Queen's Town into a huge transparent box.
In addition, the town itself is in an alien space, so the entire town becomes an isolated island.
The only exit of the isolated island is also under the strict control of the escort. You can only enter but not exit.
At this time, Doakes, who was standing at the top of a small mountain col, looked at the exit in the distance, a fierce red light flashing in his eyes: "Are we going to fight out?"
Angel: "No need, just walk out."
After speaking, Angel snapped his fingers, and a light and shadow illusion enveloped himself and Doakes.
"Let's go." Angel said to Doakes through the psychic tether.
"If we go out like this, won't we be discovered?" Doakes was still a little confused, but he still followed him. If it didn't work, he would force his way in.
Angel did not speak, but directly answered Doakes' question with actions.
It was not far from the exit, and there were a large number of guards at the exit. However, when Angel and Doakes came, it was like they were in a deserted place, and no guards noticed them.
The most important thing is that the magic energy array covering the entire Princess Town seems to have lost its effect on them.
As for the magic barrier, it was a piece of cake for the two official wizards.
Without alerting anyone, they easily left the magic energy array and appeared in the hunter's cabin outside.
However, even though they left Princess Town, there were still people outside the alien space guarding them.
There were obviously multiple auras outside the vicinity of the hunter's cabin.
However, without the supervision of the magic energy array, it would be a fool's errand to rely solely on these extraordinary beings, who had not even arrived as high-level apprentices, to discover the traces of the two official wizards.
When the light and shadow illusion was cancelled, Angel and Doakes had already appeared on the mountain several miles away.
When Doakes looked down at the three hunter cabins in the canyon, his expression was still confused: "Just came out like this? Is the magic energy array just a decoration? Or..."
Doakes turned to look at Angel: "Did you do anything to the magic array in Princess Town last night?"
Angel said angrily: "Does the wandering wizard even have basic common sense? With such a large magic energy array, I can figure out its context in one night. It's already pretty good. Why do you want to tamper with it?"
"Then when we came out, why didn't the magic energy array respond?"
"Knowledge is priceless, but..." Angel looked Doakes up and down and said slowly: "For the sake of future little gold, I will answer your question for free."
While Angel took out the gondola that Dox was envious of, he motioned for Speed Spirit to take the helm.
After they set off, Angel replied: "Actually, the answer is very simple. Everything was done by Modea herself."
Before Princess Town was still called Merandi Market, the maintenance of the magic energy array was maintained by the Vavenlock family. There was no need to expend energy to enter or leave the market.
But after Modea took over, she modified the magic energy array. She was unwilling to provide energy maintenance herself, so she created a system where everyone must enter the corresponding energy when entering the market. As the name puts it, energy comes from everyone, and Huangnu Town prospers together.
This change has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that those who obediently input their own energy will have almost no privacy after entering Princess Town, and will be supervised by the magic energy array throughout the process.
The disadvantage is that those who use magic crystals instead of energy input can avoid being targeted by the magic energy array in Princess Town.
This setting is quite hidden. If Angel's magic pattern level was not online, it would be difficult to detect the trick played by Princess Mordea.
Before, when Angel and others came to Princess Town, no one input energy, they all used magic crystals. Although it cost more, it escaped the monitoring of the magic energy array.
Since you are no longer under the supervision of the magic energy array, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the magic energy array when you leave here. As long as you have good invisibility skills and are not noticed by the guards, you can come and go easily.
After listening to Angel's explanation, Doakes' eyes were a little enlightened: "I see. However, I think you are wrong. It was not Mordea's fault. She secretly modified the magic array for better selection. prey."
The prey is the group of people imprisoned in prison.
"Your explanation makes some sense. Maybe you're right." Angel nodded with deep understanding: "However, overall, she still cheated herself."
"Oh, by the way. With Princess Town in such a turbulent situation, what happened to the homeless apprentices you rescued?"
Doakes shrugged: "I don't know. I left them alone after I sent them out. However, don't worry, wandering apprentices are different from wizards like you who claim to be noble. They dare to use any dirty tricks. It’s not a big problem to escape tracking. Besides, there is a ‘cross’ in Princess Town.”
Angel: "I feel like you're scolding me in a roundabout way."
Doakes: "Of course not, how could I beat around the bush."
Angel was silent for a moment: "For Xiao Xiaojin's sake, I won't pursue it this time."
Doakes: "...You actually just want to mention Little Jin. Don't worry, when Little Jin is born, I will definitely give you one."
Angel snorted and agreed.
The next step is to leave the Guman Kingdom and head to the sandworm market in the Principality of Laxum.
There was nothing to do along the way, so Angel and Dox simply chatted casually.
Dox was more interested in Abule's crowned parrot. Although he lost the war of words, Dox got a message from the crowned parrot.
"Before, that bastard kept making fun of me when I couldn't speak. At that time, it also said something. It said that if it was a thousand years ago, it would have waved its hand and countless brothers would have killed me."
Dox: "This is the end of being too proud. Look, it's exposed."
"The crowned parrot must have a previous owner, and it should be a summoning wizard from a thousand years ago. The so-called brothers are probably summoned like it. From its tone, we can know that the number of summoned creatures is not low. As long as we follow this direction, I will find out its details sooner or later."
After speaking, Dox showed a look of wisdom.
Angel silently poured cold water on Dox: "Are you sure what it said is true?"
Angel also heard what the crowned parrot said at the time. He still remembered that it raised its voice when it said this, as if it was afraid that no one could hear it.
In Angel's opinion, this abnormal behavior is likely to fool Dox.
"The crowned parrot is smarter than you think, and its insight is quite strong. It must have known that we are suspicious of its origin. So, it also gave a clue. But do you think that with its wisdom, the clue it gave will be true?"
After Angel said this, Dox also felt that it made sense.
"However, my spiritual perception did not react at that time. Maybe it guessed that we would be suspicious and said so deliberately, but in fact it was telling the truth."
Angel: "Do you think that we would be too smart if it calculated it correctly?"
Dox: "I don't know, but I'm still going to check it out. If it doesn't have a big background... Hum, Baibei Sea City, right? I will go to Baibei Sea City in person and let it know that birds should crow instead of talking!"
Angel: "..."
Dox: "Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Angel: "I just want to say that if you really find out, please contact me."
Although everyone has their own opportunities, the crowned parrot is Abule's opportunity, and Angel will not rob it, but he is still a little curious about the origin of the crowned parrot. If it really followed a knowledgeable wizard in the past, maybe there will be some things in the future that he can ask it for advice.
Compared with Dox's persistence in the topic of the crowned parrot, Angel is more interested in the topic of Kael.
Kael must have something outstanding to be favored by Isos, and he was also very curious about what alchemical drawings Kael had obtained that even Isos didn't dare to open directly?
Also, would Kael's stay in the Principality of Rasukum have anything to do with this matter?
With doubts, Angel asked Dox about Kael's character.
If it was a day ago, Dox would definitely not say it, but now that he knew that the so-called Leon was Angel and was not an enemy, it would be okay to talk about it.
"How should I put it? Although Kael is a wandering apprentice, he is not like a wandering apprentice in nature. He is more like an academic researcher."
The term academic was born to refer specifically to those fanatical researchers in wizard organizations. It is rarely used on wandering wizards, so Dox is right to say so.
"However, it is worth mentioning that Kael once told me that his dream was not to be a researcher, but a traveler."
"In fact, he is indeed fulfilling this dream, traveling around the southern region. I believe that one day, Kael's travel destination will not be limited to the southern region."
"His travel is not random, but he likes to wander in the ruins of various places. He came to the sandworm market because he was interested in the ruins here."
Angel: "The ruins in the black market?"
Dox shrugged, indicating that he was not sure: "Maybe, after all, he lives in that ruins now, so he should be a little interested in it. Interesting. However, the ruins have long been explored by the Lawrence family, and I don’t understand why Kael is still there. "
Angel: "Could it be that the Lawrence family has not explored some places yet?"
Dox: "This is impossible. The Lawrence family has been in control of the Sandworm Market for so many years, which means that their power cannot be underestimated. With their financial resources, it would not be too difficult to invite a prophecy wizard."
"However, this happened a long time ago. I just vaguely heard that the Lawrence family invited an observer through a city lord in Mesomia at that time."
The eighteen observers of the Crown Star Church are the people standing at the top of the prophecy world in the southern region.
Since the observers have arrived, the thorough excavation of the ruins has indeed been completed, and there should be no omissions.
"So, I guess Kael is actually just interested in the ruins. It doesn't matter whether the ruins have been excavated or not. After all, he is not an adventurer."
Angel did not agree with what Dox said. Kael's travel destinations are all ruins. He is either an archaeologist or has a purpose and is looking for something.
Archaeologists are a rare profession that also exists in the South Region, but they basically study the ancient lost era. They are not interested in modern relics.
So Kael must have other purposes.
"Could there be an undiscovered relic near the Sandworm Market?" Angel guessed.
Dox: "You mean Kael stayed in the Sandworm Market just to study an undiscovered relic?"
Angel nodded in agreement.
Dox said unhappily: "Impossible, Kael's life is extremely regular. He either sets up a stall in the eighth lane of Sandworm Street or comes to my bar to drink. The rest of the time, he is doing research in the cave under the black market."
"If there are really undiscovered relics, wouldn't Kael go to explore them?"
"Besides, you may not know Kael very well. He is a very pure person. Except for being too particular about "rules", all his thoughts are on his face. If there are really relics like you said, he can't keep secrets."
After speaking, Dox asked curiously: "Speaking of which, you seem to be very interested in Kael. Why?"
"Besides, I have another very puzzling question. Lord Iso can send other people to send a letter to Kael. Why did he let the famous super-dimensional wizard take on the responsibility of sending the letter?"
Dox leaned over and whispered: "Do you have any special mission? Just like the twelve constellations, Iso asked you to test Kael?"
"If that's the case, please take me with you."
