Chapter 463 462. Alien Demon

The aroma of honey wine permeated the air, and the laughter of toasting and drinking was endless. Milei, wearing a black off-shoulder dress, walked through the crowd with a smile, and accepted all those who came to greet and toast, showing the gentleness and good upbringing that matched the personality of "Ms. Corinna".

The eager eyes always followed Milei, sometimes staying on her half-exposed calves, and sometimes sweeping across her chest unscrupulously. When Milei cast her eyes back, these glamorous people put on a gentle and harmless look, as if the inadvertent thirst was just the aftertaste of alcohol.

After the port city-state of Wupu City was occupied by Tanya's Green Shade Territory, it was always managed by the original lord. Until recently, Tanya sent a governor from the Green Shade Territory to take over some of the powers, and he himself finally left the Green Shade base camp and went to Wupu City to preside over today's banquet.

Having said that, after drinking for more than thirty minutes, except for a few people who were deeply puzzled by Tanya's invitation, everyone else was already tipsy. She only showed up at the beginning of the banquet, signaling that everyone had a good time and then disappeared.

"Is it just to show her presence and win over some people, without any substantial purpose?"

Milai drank a sip of honey wine, and used the excuse of being drunk to stop several nobles who usually chased her, intending to leave this boring banquet.

"Hello, Ms. Corinna, Her Majesty Tanya invites you."

A waiter came over and whispered when Milai picked up a piece of honeydew melon.

The invitation alone made Milai wary, but her face remained calm.

She smiled and followed the waiter through the hall and the courtyard. By the pool in the backyard, Tanya sat at a square table filled with fruits and snacks, looking at a scroll, while Chihong held the end of the scroll and slowly unfolded it.

Many unfamiliar faces that Mile could not recognize were responsible for Tanya's protection. Just the faintly stirring magic was enough to prove that they were all high-level.

"Is this the stray cats and dogs that Lady Lulu mentioned?" Mile thought.

While thinking, Mile bent down, introduced himself with impeccable etiquette, and offered his blessings to Tanya.

With a smile on her face, Tanya asked someone to change the fruit on the table, and a honeydew melon fruit plate was served.

"I heard from the waiter that my sudden summons forced you to give up the honeydew melon you just ate. It's okay, there are some here, please use it."

As she said that, Tanya personally took action and handed the fruit plate closer.

If you don't know Tanya, the affinity shown by her conversation, behavior and etiquette is irresistible.

"Your Majesty Tanya, compared to the honeydew melon, I am more eager to know the purpose of your invitation tonight in the form of a banquet. I think... I should not be the only one who has the honor to talk to you up close."

Tanya waved her hand and asked Chihong to put away the scroll. After hearing Mile's words, the corners of her mouth rose, and she took a sip of tea before slowly speaking.

"It's true, but before the formal conversation, I have a question that I hope Ms. Corinna can answer."

The teacup was gently placed on the coaster, making a crisp sound.

"Ms. Corinna is a high-level magician, right?"

The magic power of the several guards on guard behind Mile surged, as if thousands of soldiers were heading straight for her.

Milai was calm and calm, and she picked up a piece of honeydew melon and put it into her mouth, saying frankly: "It is true."

No matter how well you hide it, there will always be traces in front of experienced high-level magicians. Instead of lying and letting Tanya deepen the misunderstanding, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to get out.

"Such a young high-level magician is rare." Tanya crossed her fingers, held her chin, and looked Mile up and down.

"Rare? There seem to be many high-level magicians around Her Majesty Tanya who have ordinary backgrounds, and can even be said to have climbed up from poverty. Compared with them, I am so mediocre with my rich family background and sailing around with my parents to study."

The guards in the distance knelt on one knee in unison, staring at Tanya with fanaticism in their eyes.

Tanya's serious and earnest face once again showed a smile. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Ms. Corinna seems to be a little modest. I also provided them with favorable conditions. This road cannot be built by resources. You and I both know it."

After a moment of silence, Tanya said: "The reason why Ms. Corinna no longer sails is that her parents and sisters died in a shipwreck, right... I'm sorry for this question, but it involves the topic we are discussing next, so I have to do so."

Mile's acting skills exploded, and the brewing pain on her face disappeared in an instant. She said in a nonchalant tone: "It's been a long time, it doesn't matter, I'm just an ordinary person who is eager to enjoy now."

"I don't know if you are interested in returning to your old business, or taking risks?"

Here it comes, Mile quickly realized that this is Tanya's purpose.

A scroll was presented in front of Mile. It was a plan that recorded the trade routes that Green Shade Territory was planning. In addition to the short trade route from Molten Mountains to Port Demoris, which had already been opened but had obviously insufficient numbers of people, there were also many long-distance trade routes that ran through the Mela Continent.

With Green Shade Territory as the core, the trade routes radiated east, west, south, north, and extended into the sea, and then crossed the vast ocean to cover the surrounding continents.

Mi Lai was shocked. She realized that Tanya could show this plan to herself so easily, which meant that she did not think it was a secret, but an ambition that could be made public.

What exactly does Tanya want to do?

By building her Green Shade Territory into a chamber of commerce conglomerate system similar to that of the Colai Continent, wouldn't her authority as Your Majesty be infinitely diluted, and eventually be eaten up by profit-seeking businessmen?

"His Majesty's plan is shocking."

"Is this shocking?" Tanya smiled, "Just strengthening Mela's existing business system shocked everyone, which also surprised me."

"I can still understand standard trade, but in the blueprint drawn by His Majesty, there are several routes that point to unknown sea areas beyond the known sea routes..."

Tanya took a sip of tea to moisten her throat: "I am sponsoring adventurous sea knights to challenge the boundless sea and cut through the wind and waves in search of a new continent."

"New World?" Milai became more and more confused.

"Have you ever heard that there is an ancient empire and strange demons in the unknown direction of the vast and distant sea of ​​tranquility?"

…

…

"Exotic demon, what is that?"

After hearing Mi Lai's regular report, Lu Yu was filled with questions: "Is it a special kind of monster? It doesn't sound like a good thing."

Sera, who was knocked out of the room by Lulu, touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Lulu explained to Lu Yu: "The so-called strange demon is not a kind of monster, but a very special magician. The magical power of a strange magician can suppress ordinary magic power. You can understand it as a human-shaped self-propelled demon-breaking material."

The account of Mera's first strange demon comes from Solon in the middle of the glorious age. Some merchants rescued a group of dying magicians who were shipwrecked at sea. "

These magicians claimed to have encountered unprecedented huge waves during the voyage. Even though they tried their best to use their magic to avoid the ship being smashed, they had fallen into a huge whirlpool. Compared with the whirlpool, their huge ship was as small as A small boat.

He wanted to float up and escape, but found that the magic power in the entire sea area was scarce and he could not fly away from the whirlpool area. Realizing that his struggle was futile, the magician gave up completely and was desperately sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool.

When they woke up, less than one tenth of them survived, but they found that the magic around them was full again, and they had the strength to ask for help from passing ships.

Serra said: "Their language was completely different from the surrounding languages ​​Mela knew. No one knew what they were saying. For a long time after Solon was treated, communication was extremely difficult."

"Also among this group of people, there are two strange magicians. The magic they release can suppress the normal magic and interfere to a certain extent, but they cannot convert the ' strange magic' into the form of magic to attack."

Lulu recalled: "At that time, the Solon royal family established initial trust and was able to communicate. After being able to communicate, they asked questions about the power of the strange magician, but were rejected by the strange magician. It was still a glorious era, and the Solon royal family was also a benevolent person. The monarchy therefore did not do anything extraordinary and even allowed them to leave on their own after recovering from their injuries.”

The records about the strange demons ended abruptly, and no one knew the whereabouts of the two strange magicians. However, most speculations are that they set out to sea again and tried to return home after receiving the help of the Solon royal family.

In the relevant classics, we can still see people's discussions about strange demons during that period, including many members of the Mage Tower. They were interested in the "power of interference".

If you want to interfere with magic power in a large area, the simplest and crudest way is to turn yourself into a huge container like Huogu, sucking up the entire area and creating a temporary magic vacuum.

The trick is to use the magic-breaking materials to build a magic-breaking array, and invite you to enter the urn, just like the crisis encountered by the evil beast Earl Lu Yu.

But their discussions were buried in the long river of history along with the disappearance of the strange magicians. Although there are many adventurous people who challenge the dangerous and unknown route and indeed explore many new islands and continents, but None of them fit the description of a strange magician.

Hearing this, Lu Yu actually already knew why he couldn't find it. He glanced at Lulu and found that she was also secretly glancing at him.

"A giant teleportation circle, and it's natural." The two said in unison.

Such a magic circle is the miraculous workmanship of nature, a masterpiece formed by chance.

Some trigger conditions are extremely clear, and only enough magic power can be used to complete a teleportation in the Silent Mountains, while others are extremely cumbersome.

In Vanessa's travel diary, it was recorded that there was a giant teleportation circle in the lair of a group of low-minded slimes. The slime king born here vaguely knew that this was a strange "depression" that could attract magic power, so he occupied it. here.

Out of curiosity, the Slime King simply and rudely poured magic power into the magic circle, but what came back to them was an elemental storm. The clan members suffered heavy casualties. Even he himself survived by actively splitting and escaping.

Vanessa only saw the sinkhole filled with water at the scene. When she dived into the water, she could vaguely see the remaining veins of the natural magic circle. The rest had been reduced to ashes.

Vanessa speculated that the natural teleportation circle here requires other conditions to be triggered, and the slime king with a low IQ kept pouring elemental essence into it, which eventually led to a great elemental storm. When this family was not collapsed by the magic circle, The leaked power to tear into pieces has been an explosion of luck.

The vortex that was so powerful and could imprison magic power was a natural teleportation array that started to operate by chance. The two alien magicians were not at the other end of the channel where the merchant rescued them, but the coordinates of the teleportation array were randomly moved there.

Lulu paced around the room in confusion: "Something is wrong... I always feel something is wrong."

"I can understand that she wants to open up trade routes, whether it's Mela's or the surrounding continents, these are all profitable. She always does things like this. She will only take action when the gains outweigh the losses. Funding adventurers is a pure act of giving. Her current reputation is enough to attract talents, and there is no need to do anything unnecessary."

"Besides, is the alien demon something worth worrying about now? Even if Zenir defeated Divik's army one after another and has shown a winning trend, she can be distracted, but the search process is likely to take five years, ten years, or even decades, with the tide of magic. In this turbulent time, her own future is full of uncertainty. Would someone like her worry about these things? "

"This is not in line with her personality and work style. I can understand Tanya arranging trade routes, but I can't understand why she dug out the "alien demon" hundreds of years ago and then advertised it. I want to find it."

"If she desires this power, she should let her loyal confidants take action instead of looking for merchants who can't keep secrets. What good will it do for her to make this matter known to everyone?"

Lu Yu and Sera believed in Lulu's judgment 100%. The two people who were lost in thought suddenly raised their heads, looked at each other, and murmured.

"She doesn't really want to find that ancient country..."

Lulu also reacted. She raised her head and looked at the two people looking at each other, suppressed the little awkwardness in her heart, and participated in the topic.

"Her purpose is to use this incident to remind certain people..."

"Who does she want to remind?" Lulu was stunned, "It can't be the alien demons... But are there alien demons in the Mela Continent?"

...

...

A group of people in purple robes gathered in a cave among the towering mountains.

The news from the banquet in Wupu City blew into their ears like the wind.

"It seems... our actions have been discovered by someone with ulterior motives?"

"Who is that person?"

"A princess who rules a region, she seems to be warning us not to pollute her territory again."
