Main Text Volume Chapter 444 Talents Gather Together
In the hinterland of the far north, a shadow suddenly passed over a stretch of snow-capped mountains. It was like a shadow cast by a passing cloud. But if you look closely, you will find that although this shadow is huge, it is constantly changing, like a dancing butterfly.
But when you look up, you can't see anything, only the vast sky and the soothing flow of clouds.
After an unknown period of time, a strange bird flew over the snowy mountain.
This bird is not big, and it is not a living thing. It is made of metal. If there is an alchemist present, you can use the alchemy eye to see that the inside of the bird is full of clockwork and hubs. It is a mechanical bird made by mechanical alchemy.
The bird's skin is painted blue and white. As it flies, it emits a sound frequency that belongs to a certain wizard channel.
With the call of the mechanical bird, a huge colorful butterfly suddenly slowly emerged in the spotless sky above the snowy mountain. It fluttered its wings and built an exquisite wooden tavern on its back.
The robot bird circled and flew to the mailbox at the door of the tavern. It spit out a red letter with white cover into the mailbox, and then flew away without stopping.
As the robot bird disappeared, the huge colorful butterfly also hid its body again.
When the colorful butterfly became invisible, a little fat man suddenly jumped out of the wooden tavern behind it. He jumped to the mailbox, took out the envelope inside, and said loudly to the waiters in the tavern: "The letter has come, the mentor has come!"
The little fat man was wearing a white chef's uniform, but his sleeves were full of oil stains and gray unknown powder. His round face was also full of black charcoal marks, and there was a faint smell of barbecue on his body.
As soon as the little fat man called out, a plump woman with almost naked body came out of the tavern. Her bronze skin was glowing with a healthy oily sheen, and only the three points were covered with a thin piece of cloth cut from the white chef's uniform.
"Alan, what did the tutor write? Did she come back after a long time?" Along with the woman's question, there were also various voices in the tavern. The voices were different and the questions had different focuses, but the content was basically the same as what the woman asked.
The fat boy Alan swallowed his saliva and looked at the woman infatuatedly, with blood flowing from his nose.
Seeing this, the woman covered her mouth and laughed. As she laughed, the two mountains on her chest shook, and the fat boy bleed directly from his nose and fainted on the ground.
"Tana, if you keep wearing it like this, I suspect that our little cutie Alan will die of excessive blood loss." There was a giggling voice in the tavern.
Tana twisted her plump hips carelessly, winning the saliva of the crowd, and then pretended to be coquettish and said: "Isn't my value just this?"
Tana walked to Alan's side with a howl. She grabbed Alan's feet directly and held him upside down with one hand to walk into the tavern.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew the envelope in Allen's hand away, and it spun in the air and landed in Tana's palm.
Tana looked down at the cover of the envelope, which was a row of beautiful cursive characters. This butterfly-like cursive characters was created by the mentor himself, and it also contained some indescribable code that only people in the tavern could decipher.
——Tana, Allen personally.
Written to me and Allen? Tana's face lit up, and she didn't care that she was still holding Allen in her hand. With the "bang bang" sound of Allen's head hitting the ground, Tana opened the envelope.
In addition to a letter, there were two cards in the envelope.
When Tana finished reading the letter, she was suddenly stunned on the spot. Allen covered his head and screamed, and seeing Tana's astonished look, he didn't care about the headache, and walked over and put his head in front of the envelope.
"...Huh?! What the hell is the Purification Garden? Can it be eaten?!" Allen looked at it in a daze, and only saw a few keywords, the Moon of Resurrection, the Sky Mechanical City, and... the Purification Garden.
...
The Sin World is located in the northwest of the Fan Continent, in the subsidiary plane of the center of the Baikal Sea. The medium for entering is an underwater crater.
On the edge of the Sin World, there is an inconspicuous small country called the Kingdom of Gabilon.
There is no wizard organization stationed in the Kingdom of Gabilon, and the people here don't know what extraordinary power is. But in this country, a sect that most wizards in the wizarding world hate was born-the Extreme Sect.
The belief of the extreme sect is the will of the world. Although most of them call themselves believers, they are actually wizards, and wizards favored by the will of the world. Because they hunt down all illegal alien stowaways, this is in line with the expectations of the will of the world.
This is probably the "political correctness" of the wizarding world. It is precisely because of political correctness that the leaders of the extreme sects even obtain some unspeakable power from the Great Will through some secret methods.
It can be said that although the extreme sect is not a wizard organization, it is a force that cannot be ignored in the southern wizard world.
On this day, in the training garden of the sect, many apprentices who received hunting and killing training and foreign knowledge lined up to welcome a big figure in the sect-the black-robed bishop.
This is one of the three training gardens of the extreme sect.
In the entire training garden, most of the apprentices are under 20 years old, and some are only five or six years old. But no matter how old they are, they are affected by the solemn atmosphere in the training garden. Every apprentice has a blank expression, like a new corpse in the cemetery, cold and pale.
The black-robed bishop is very satisfied with this next generation.
He said lightly: "The purification garden of the Sky Mechanical City is about to open. Those who want to go can sign up with me."
All the apprentices did not speak. The black-robed bishop did not get angry because of the cold situation, but nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, the place in the Purification Garden is not given to you for free. If you want it, fight for it."
"Those who sign up will be randomly assigned to a life-and-death battle. The only winner in the end can come to me to claim their spot. Remember, this is a life-and-death battle. Don't tell me about friendship. There is only life or death."
After the black-robed bishop finished speaking, he laughed sinisterly and left the nursery. Then continue to the next nursery.
Half a day later, the first winner of the nursery walked the long road paved with blood and appeared in front of the black-robed bishop.
"Very good, tell me your name." The black-robed bishop looked at the cold-faced young man in front of him and said with a satisfied smile.
"Saladin Buai'er." The young man's hair was covered with blood, which showed how fierce the battle was not long ago.
"Very good, I give this card to you." The black-robed bishop handed the boy a card.
The young man nodded and turned to leave without saying a word.
The black-robed bishop was very satisfied with the young man's character. The vice-bishop next to him suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty Bishop, I heard that Sky Mechanical City is not following the rules this time. There are many little tricks behind the scenes."
The black-robed bishop smiled: "I have received the news. Sky Machinery City has invited me to come over for discussion. From what the messenger said, this purification garden may become a killing field... However, because of the killing field, , there will be a greater chance. Hahahaha!”
…
There is a vast country in the northwest of Yongye Kingdom. Its name is Fengrao Country. Although it is called Fengrao, nearly three-quarters of this country is desert. Because of this, although its land area is very large, , but the surrounding neighboring countries are unwilling to attack it.
In the hinterland of the desert in the Fertile Country, a little urchin riding a white sand rhinoceros suddenly appeared in an oasis town.
He is not very old, he looks about ten years old, but he is very naughty. In just three days, we passed through dozens of oasis towns. Every time he passed an oasis town, there was a wave of criticism, but he never tired of it.
He always holds a small leather whip and whips the three-meter-high White Sand Rhinoceros, causing it to break all the buildings it sees with its sharp horns.
When he came to this oasis town called "Horseshoe", something unexpected happened.
Just as he whipped the rhinoceros and crashed into the outer wall of a stone castle, his ears were pinched by a young man falling from the sky.
"It hurts, it hurts -" the little naughty boy cried with a pitiful expression on his face.
The man's face was expressionless: "Loki, my mentor said that you must not interfere with the lives of mortals."
"I didn't interfere, it was Xiaobai who hit him!" the little urchin named Loki defended with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Bai is your magic pet, and this is also your responsibility." After the man said this, he grabbed Loki's ears and bowed to apologize to the people gathered around him. He had wiped countless butts for Loki along the way, and he swore that he would not let Loki escape his sight today!
Loki burst into tears, crying and acting coquettishly to everyone.
Seeing such a child, the residents of Horseshoe Town finally forgave him, but they still had to pay what was due.
But just as they were paying compensation, someone shouted: "Oh no, the sand thieves are coming!"
In the vast desert of Fenghuo Country, there is no official governance, and the most common breeds are sand bandits and bandits. Upon hearing the arrival of the sand pirates, the residents of Horseshoe Town all became embarrassed.
However, the sand pirates basically only want to make money. Although their faces are ugly, they are not desperate.
But when someone shouted, "It's the Bari Asha Bandits," everyone's expressions immediately changed. This is a notorious group of sand pirates nearby. They leave no grass behind in their path and have slaughtered several small towns.
Everyone ran away one after another, either hiding in the cellar or simply running out into the desert.
However, the little naughty boy Loki and the young man did not hide away. At this time, a kind-faced aunt suddenly pulled Loki over and said: "Foreigners, come and hide in my cellar!"
Before Loki could finish speaking, the young man said calmly: "No need."
The aunt said "Oh" and saw that the sand bandits had entered the town, so she fled into the cellar. The young man disappeared into the air with Loki looking curious.
The Bali-Asha Bandits fully lived up to their reputation. They rushed into the town of Horseshoe on horseback, burning and looting along the way. They cut down people they saw and robbed treasures they saw. In just one minute, dozens of lives were lost.
Seeing more and more people dying, Loki looked at the young man in confusion: "Brother Hermes, aren't we going to save him?"
He crashed into countless buildings and injured countless people along the way, and he relied on Hermes to clean up the aftermath and save people. So he subconsciously thought that Hermes would show up to save people from the fire and water.
But Hermes shook his head and said: "We don't want to get involved in ordinary people's affairs."
Loki pouted.
Although he likes to play pranks, he has never taken the initiative to kill someone.
Loki watched the lives passing away one by one before his eyes. When he saw the sand bandits pulling the aunt who had shown kindness to him out of the cellar, Loki finally couldn't help it anymore: "Xiaobai, come on! Get all these sand bandits." Kill him!"
Hermes glanced at Loki, but did not stop him.
Xiao Bai roared and wiped out all the sand pirates with only two or three sand magic tricks.
A sandstorm, a sand trap.
When the horseshoe town returned to peace, Loki stood out from his invisibility triumphantly, wanting to get praise from the townspeople, but no one dared to step forward. They all looked at Loki with eyes looking at a devil, and some even threw torches at him. Even the aunt who had shown kindness to him before took a step back in fear.
Loki was a little injured. Brother Hermes didn't save people, but he was grateful to many people. He saved people but was still despised by others...
"People's hearts are hard to predict, don't care about these people. Let's go." Hermes took Loki's hand: "The mentor has arrived at the Sky Mechanical City. Because of your mischief, we have been late for a long time. We can't miss the opening of the Purification Garden."
Loki pouted and nodded aggrievedly: "Okay."
