Chapter 51: I'm Just a Monk

night.

The sound of horseshoes resounded on the open central street of Wildfire City. The residents who had already fallen asleep were awakened by the sound.

This is the eve of the Mudong Festival, and it is also the time when the whole Wildfire City is least fortified.

Xu Nan sat on the carriage, listening to the voices in the darkness silently, the lights in front of the carriage occasionally shone on his face, and he saw many shadows.

Barnes, who was sitting opposite, was obviously in a good mood. He even took out a goblet and was savoring a glass of fine wine.

The smell seemed familiar, similar to that emanating from Irene.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Barnes looked at Xu Nan pointedly, and said with a calm smile, "I never heard that the city lord has the habit of going to bed on time."

This sentence nakedly pointed out that the most powerful person in the Sebalon family spared no effort to monitor Xu Nan. At this time, he did not shy away from this point.

"That's not the way to go to the theater."

Xu Nan tried to calm herself down: "Where are we going?"

"Shuangyue Square." Barnes didn't mean to hide anything. Perhaps at this time, he thought everything was under control.

Although he was tasting fine wine, his eyes were sober, without the slightest hint of intoxication:

"Of course the rehearsal will be at the place where the party will take place, won't it?"

Xu Nan nodded in agreement, and suddenly said:

"Where's the city defense team?"

"I remember that Wildfire City implements a semi-curfew system. Why didn't I even see a patrol team when I ran down this lap?"

Barnes shrugged his shoulders: "Recently, bandits have often appeared outside the city and on the King's Road in Bando Port. I sent them out of the city to suppress the bandits."

"My lord, you don't have to worry about the safety of Wildfire City itself, because I have already assigned other people to take over the defense work of Wildfire City."

While speaking, the carriage drove through an open alley, and Xu Nan saw several dark figures inside.

Although there was only one glance, Xu Nan could still see the faces of those people clearly.

They wore typical academic mage robes and pointed hats, with serious expressions, but they looked funny that I didn't know how to describe. They held wooden barrels and brushes in their hands. If they were on Earth, Xu Nan might think they were a group of non-mainstream graffiti teenagers, but in Wildfire City, their identities are ready to be revealed.

"The Black Flag School of Wizardry..." Xu Nan silently read the name of the organization in his heart.

This result was not unexpected.

He had known for a long time that this wizard school had colluded with that guy in the Ghost Mother Forest. After they disappeared, it would not be difficult for them to sneak into Wildfire City under the cover of the Sebalon family.

After all, ever since Barnes eradicated the Blackwater Gang and ruled out dissidents within the family, it has been completely overwhelming in Wildfire City.

Limited by Xu Nan's academic level, he doesn't know what ghosts these wizards are drawing, but it must not be blessings such as Happy Mudong Festival.

"A wizard organization with more than 300 members, the strength is unknown, but at least they are all from the second level up..."

"Cebalon's own guard with more than 200 people is very strong and completely obeys the command of Barnes..."

"Coupled with the behind-the-scenes manipulator and other factors that may come at any time... This is a hundred-person book!"

Xu Nan secretly complained in his heart.

He blames himself a little.

In the past few days, he was held back by Irene's affairs, unable to make a decision, and at the same time, he was distracted. He didn't even consider that the Mu Dong Festival party might be just a cover.

The other party did this just to numb himself...or other potential opposing forces in the city.

Tonight is the time when the black hand behind the scenes will really do something.

It's just that Xu Nan's most concerned question is why today? Or, why this time?

You know, Theron wine has a long history.

During these hundreds of years, are the masterminds behind the scenes eating dry food? Or, it has been so weak that it will take hundreds of years to recover, so it can plan tonight's change?

Xu Nan couldn't figure it out, after all, there was not enough information, but he was just astonished and surprised, without any fear.

There is no way, there is a backer behind him, and he has enough confidence.

As long as the thighs are hugged well, you won't be afraid of a few more waves!

He looked at Barnes as if he was sure of winning, but deep in his heart he felt sad for Xiaoba.

"Let me see what kind of monster you are!"

The carriage arrived at Shuangyue Square, and Xu Nan took the initiative to get off.

At first glance, he saw the girl in the middle of the square.

Still have wonderful long legs.

It's just that she looked extra stunning and beautiful this night.

It seems to have felt Xu Nan's amazed gaze.

Erin turned her head slowly and smiled sweetly.

"I thought of the perfect ending."

She blinked, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Behind her, a dozen shadows dressed in the costumes of stage actors stood like puppets, with their eyelids lowered, silent.

Xu Nan silently followed Barnes into the seat. In fact, before he arrived, there were already many people in the auditorium.

These people are the most prestigious leaders in Wildfire City.

It's just that at this moment, their expressions were terrified, as if they had realized something, but they didn't dare to protest. They could only put their hands together fiercely, as if they were praying for the protection of their ancestors.

"let's start."

The person who spoke was not Irene, nor Barnes, but a wizard in a cloak.

Eight thin black flags were planted behind him. At first glance, it looked like a Beijing opera singer, but Xu Nan knew that this was one of the signs of a black flag wizard.

"It's really uncreative... It's like a setting like the eight-pocket elders of the beggar gang. The more chess pieces are inserted behind the back, the higher the level..."

"If the level is inflated in the future, won't it become a hedgehog?"

Xu Nan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and then Shi Shiran sat down on his buttocks.

He's ready for a play.

He was actually quite curious about what the ending that would satisfy Irene was.

After all, on Earth, he has read a lot of novels, most of which are online novels, most of which are unfinished, and rarely end well; among them, a guy named Deep Blue Coconut Juice is the most hateful... It can be seen that he can write It is not an easy task to come up with a finale that satisfies the author himself.

However, the actors on stage did not move.

Shadows appeared all around in unison, and these shadows came to everyone with glasses of wine.

"What does it mean?"

A warrior from the Ice Plains couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Barnes, I only agreed to come to see Miss Irene's stage play, but I didn't agree to drink the Theron wine produced by your family..."

Barnes smiled lightly:

"Stage plays are something to watch."

"Alcohol must be drunk."

The atmosphere became a little stagnant.

Near the Double Moon Square, more and more black shadows emerged.

Although the people in the ice field are simple-minded, they are not mentally retarded; the weird atmosphere tonight has long made them suspicious. In this situation, it is impossible to figure out what happened.

Everyone knew that there might be something wrong with the wine, but due to Barnes' power, it was hard to really refuse it.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the sound of music and dialogue from actors suddenly came from the stage.

The musical has begun.

"Drink it." The black flag wizard said grimly: "All these wines must be drunk..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a man jumping up and down, snatching the wine glasses from the hands of the waiters, and started pouring wine into his mouth frantically!

The speed was so fast that they didn't even have room to react!

It wasn't until Xu Nan drank the eleventh cup that he was angrily stopped by the black flag wizard:

"Everyone has to drink!"

"You drink too much!"

Xu Nan smiled slightly: "I don't think so, didn't you say that the wine here must be drunk?"

"They don't want to drink, so give them to me. Do you think they are willing?"

After all, he looked at the others.

The people in the ice field were still in a daze. They looked at Xu Nan and said hesitantly, "My lord, you..."

Xu Nan secretly scolded the idiot.

To Xu Nan, this kind of trick is simply trivial, okay? The disappearing Theron wine was just thrown into his dimensional pocket.

The people in the ice field actually thought that something would happen to them, and they were blocking the knife for them... Isn't this brain circuit too strange?

Do I look like that kind of self-sacrificing person?

Well, from the appearance point of view, it seems to be true.

Xu Nan wanted to continue drinking, but was held down by Barnes.

His strength is amazing.

His tone was calm: "My lord, you drank too much."

"I suggest you sit down and look at Miss Irene's great creation first."

"As for the others, sooner or later they have to drink Theron. The reason, I will explain in a moment."

"This is the first step towards a great renaissance for our Wildfire City, and we can only do this if we work together, understand?"

He said the last sentence to those people in the ice field.

His eyes were very sharp, and some people in the ice field seemed to give in, tremblingly reaching for the wine glass.

"Forget it, look at your appearance! What a disappointment! Let's watch the rehearsal first."

Barnes said a little irritably: "I'm looking forward to the end of Miss Irene's story."

"These wines are the same when you drink them after watching the stage play."

Only then did the rest breathe a sigh of relief. The black flag wizard seemed a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say it directly, but kept staring at Xu Nan.

Xu Nan completely ignored his eyes, and he just stared at another place on the stage.

At the same time, silently estimating the time.

"Before I decided that the Mudong Festival Gala was the beginning of the ceremony..."

"Limited by the nature of the unstable portal, Evelyn and I made an appointment to teleport tonight..."

"As for the location..."

He looked at a corner of the stage with a bit of pain, where there was a not-so-obtrusive curtain hanging.

...

Time passed by every minute and every second.

It didn't take long for the stage play to reach its climax.

An actress covered her chest, pointed in the direction of the curtain, and wailed hysterically:

"I can feel your presence...you are there, tormenting me!"

"You evil existence has been watching us, watching each of us..."

"Who are you?"

In the next second, under everyone's breathless gaze, a bald man stepped out from behind the curtain.

He rubbed his head, a little stunned and said:

"I'm just a monk."

Xu Nan covered his face instantly.

...
