178. Follow in the footsteps of Sister Guoguo

Usually, I rarely have the opportunity to stand on the rooftop of the teaching building to see the scenery of the entire city.

Looking down from where I am, the cleanest area in the city is the southeast corner. Most of the buildings here are two-story small buildings. These unique small attics are lined up one after another. Each unique building has an exquisite garden, full of lush fruit trees and flowers. There are neat trees on both sides of the street, forming rows of green shades for pedestrians to cool off. It is clean and tidy. Occasionally there are gorgeous carriages passing by the street, and it can also be very smooth on the straight and flat streets. The southeast corner of the city is considered a wealthy area in the city. My home is on the edge of this area, and Yingli's residence is in the center of this area.

The northern part of the city is the poor area. Although the houses here look like two-story buildings, most of them are simple tube buildings, which look quite old. Although there are green trees on the streets, most of them are golden apple trees. At this time, the lush fruit trees are already hung with green golden apples, which are also a source of living for residents in the slums.

On the north and south central axis of the city, there is a clean and tidy commercial street. This is the most famous Central Street in El City. However, this street is divided into north and south. The two central streets, north and south, are divided into two by Central Mountain in the center of the city. Only bypassing the ram road built around the foot of the mountain can you reach the other end of Central Street.

Most of the shops on Central South Street are high-end shops, mainly magic shops, tailor shops, leather shops, herbal shops, and weapon shops. They sell the highest-end goods in the city. In the southwest corner of the city, there are large auction houses, Grand Theater, and the guard camp of El City. As for the northern part of the city, in addition to the slums, there are free markets, livestock markets, slave markets, etc.

The entire town is wrapped in a city wall of sixteen meters high. The bottom of the wall is ten meters thick. There are tall arrow towers built on the four gates and four corners of the city wall. A light crossbow chariot is installed on the city wall. One is equipped every twenty steps. They can easily pierce the thick chests of the barbarians on the snow tundra. Those barbarians will mostly stop here in the past decades.

On the other side of the city's outer moat, some wanderers and untouchables live there. When disaster strikes, the place will be razed to the ground. However, in peacetime, it is a paradise for homeless people and refugees.

The environment here is very poor, with dirty garbage everywhere, and there are no special personnel to clean it up, but there are also good places there, that is, the city's tax officials never stop there, and it is adjacent to the moat and water can be supplied for free. In addition, there are relief stations here all year round, where you can receive free black bread. Of course, each person can only receive one piece a day, which can only ensure that no one starved to death will appear.

At my feet is a rich and quiet northern town. I stood at the top of the rooftop and felt that as long as I could reach the clouds in the sky, I could reach the sky with my hand. Ying Li looked at the direction of the temple in the distance at the corner of the rooftop. The clouds there were very low, so I couldn't see the entire outline of Mount Antia. The entire temple was also under the clouds. There were some relatively high buildings, even inserted directly into the clouds.

While we were resting during the break, we secretly ran to the rooftop to see the city scenery together. This was recommended by Yekis. He told me that if you have the chance, you must go to the rooftop of the Magic Guild teaching building to see the entire city. From there, it will have a different taste.

I began to tell what happened on Saturday afternoon. When I talked about the priests in the temple trying to capture me and lock me up in the manor on the back mountain, Ying Li looked a little sad and said silently: "Aunt is right. This temple is full of decay. Only by cutting off the rotten meat with a sharp knife can the entire temple be restored to life and receive the blessing of the goddess. Maybe this is an extremely painful process, but if the tumors cannot be removed, the temple will continue to decay."

It seems that what the elder Angel Boulder who lived in the temple said was particularly touching for Ying Li, and she retelled the words in full.

I looked carefully into the direction of my home in the distance, trying to find Su's small yard. There was a lemon tree in her backyard. Thinking of the warning that Yaer had given me the night before yesterday, he said to Ying Li: "I never thought that the priests in the temple were actually connected with the evil mage of the Black Magic Secretary Society. This is really something that can't be understood anyway. Maybe the Magic Guild will have some reactions, and the guard battalion will continue to follow up. After all, this is related to the safety of the entire city. The night before yesterday, I saw Teacher Morayal patrolling the bushes in the park."

After saying this, I suddenly regretted why I mentioned Morayaer in front of Ying Li?

The look of her eyes at me was a little surprised, and there was a playful smile on her face. She looked at me curiously, waiting for me to continue talking.

So I could only talk down, but no matter what, I felt a little guilty and my voice became weaker, like a child who made a mistake: "You know, she is a very outstanding wood magician. As long as there are trees and jungles, it is her home court. She said that maybe there are still fish that escaped from the manor in El City, or maybe they are all people from the 'Black Magic Secretariat'."

I continued to say to Yingli: "I think in recent times, El City has been full of potential dangers, so you should be more careful these days!"

This sentence is what I want to express to her in the end. She walked slowly from the corner of the rooftop. Her figure was taller among girls of the same age, at least not shorter than me now. The reason why I didn't find that her height was the same as mine, maybe it was because she was with Helena and Lagertys all day long, both of whom were extremely slender and good figures.

She stood in front of me, gently covering her lips with a rather surprised smile, and then said to me, "Gija, sometimes you can always give me a little illusion, like... like a child who can't grow up."

I rubbed my nose and thought to myself that this was not something worthy of praise.

"Gijia, don't you want to ask me about Nichols?" Ying Li put the hair splattered by the north wind behind his ear with his hands and turned to ask me. She sighed resentfully again, looked at me carefully and said, "In class just now, I knew he must have told you something!"

I asked her in surprise: "Nichols only told me that the emperor of the Green Empire issued an order to betroth you to him. Is there any other secret?"

Seeing that I didn't care at all, Ying Li felt a little disappointed when he heard me say this.

She turned her head to look at the city street in the distance, avoiding my eyes, not wanting me to see the lost gaze in her eyes, and then tried to make her voice dull, saying, "That's it, I thought you would care a lot!"

"Yes! Of course I care a lot, after all, he has come to the door!" I said without any concealment.

She looked up at my face in surprise, and saw a burning flame in my sincere eyes. The not-so-stunning face I stared at her. Although she will never give people a stunning feeling, she is very attractive. Her face will always give people a bright atmosphere. Only by looking closely can you find it.

I slowly said to her, "I know that the Emperor of the Green Empire must not know that in El City, Sloyd Province, there is a little magic apprentice like me. As your elder, he has the right to find happiness for you in the second half of his life. I do not deny that Nichols has all the good qualities of the nobles. Of course, he also has a little bit of elf and noble pride, but this is by no means too bad. So I must grow up quickly, get the qualification to meet Emperor Green, tell him what happened between us in person, and let him take back the king's order!"

Ying Li didn't expect that I would give such a positive comment on the half-elf noble boy Nichols. He looked at me in a daze, with moving stars flashing in his eyes and said coquettishly: "But you can't hit him, after all, he is still my guest here, I must leave some face for the royal family. If Nichols just ran back to the imperial capital with the dark circles just now, how do you ask me and my uncle to explain it!"

I then said to her, "But I need to declare sovereignty to him, I have to tell him: He is late. Tell you some of my experiences. I think sometimes fists are the bottom line."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and the hanging heart completely fell back to its original place. She smiled like a delicate pomegranate flower. Her eyes flicked and looked at the drum tower standing in the south city in the distance. She didn't know what she was thinking for a moment, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more obvious.

"But you have to tell me what you think!" I suddenly stretched out my hand and held her face and said seriously to her. "I admit that he is a little handsome than me!"

She didn't expect that I would suddenly hold her face up and let me hold it with my hands without any warning. She was like a frightened little rabbit, and asked me nervously: "What do you want me to tell you? I'm standing with you openly in front of him. What else do you want?"

"I don't care, you have to tell me what you think!" I kissed her forehead gently and said arrogantly.

She secretly glanced at the entrance of the rooftop with embarrassment, as if she was very worried that the iron door on the rooftop would be pushed open suddenly.

I told her about Su again. I felt that when she mentioned Su, she was looking at me with a smile, but she kept listening quietly without asking any questions.

Later, I talked about Su's experiences in the manor, and about the potions she was forced to make with demon blood. She opened her mouth and showed a look of sympathy on her face. Ying Li is a magic apprentice who specializes in magic herbs. She usually likes to read some books about magic herbs in the library. Last time I went to Xinliu Valley with her to look for demon blood. After she came back, she read a large number of historical documents and found that the Bihuo Ink is an extremely rare magic ink.

Some people say, "As long as you have the Green Fire Ink, it is equivalent to having the 'Demon Gui' magic scroll."

This is an open secret. For a long time, the magic scroll drawing that can increase the power of magic skills when casting spells is said to be discovered by an inscriptionist who specializes in making advanced magic scrolls in an ancient ruin. This magic scroll drawing was later copied by him several times and spread in every corner of the Green Continent. This magic scroll is not advanced, and can be drawn by any inscriptionist with a little experience. However, the magic ink used in this magic scroll is extremely rare in the Green Continent.

The magic skill of "Magic Catalysis" is one of the few magic skills that can increase the power of spell casting, but this magic skill can only exist in the form of a magic scroll, which means that the magic scroll of "Magic Catalysis" is very rare, and because it is rare and practical, it is a expensive magic scroll.

Because of the "magic catalysis" scroll, the Demon Blood has attracted widespread attention from many magic scholars. Many magicians are studying the Demon Blood, wanting to find magic materials that can replace it, so as to create more "magic catalysis" scrolls. Of course, this matter has always been an important topic in various magic clubs. What comes along is that the magicians gradually clear the mystery of the Demon Blood.

The medicinal properties of the Demon Blood were published in detail, including its magical illusion-making characteristics, and the fact that it would become addicted after taking Demon Blood once or twice. A magician who tried the medicine on his body once wrote in his last book: Taking Demon Blood is like branding the soul, and immortality will never get rid of the unforgettable torture.

Now that he heard the evil magicians of the "Black Magical Cultivation Society" in Subei forced to drink the potion prepared by the demon blood, Ying Li's face showed an angry expression, and he frowned tightly and said, "How could they persecute a priest apprentice in the temple like this? I want to tell my aunt about this!"

"I don't want to let many people know that Su is abandoned by God because we exposed this incident. Those fanatical believers in the temple may tie her to the stolen rack!" I quickly grabbed the angry Ying Li.

Ying Li said to me in grief and anger: "Then you say, would you just let Anduya get away with it like this?"

"I don't believe that in other aspects, this Cardinal will do it without any leakage. As long as Su's safety is not involved, I can properly provide some information about their collusion with the 'Black Magic Secretariat' to the men in the Guards." I said to Ying Li.

But this is just a saying. I would not let Anduya go so easily. Even if he is covered with the halo of the temple bishop, since he has touched my bottom line, he has touched Sister Guoguo's relatives, who are the people I want to protect most in El City. I will make a complete plan to let him taste the taste of being abandoned by God and entering hell.

I told Ying Li about these things, but in fact I didn't want to hide anything about Su, because as long as Su enters Xinliu Valley, I will never avoid contacting Ying Li, so I must at least make Ying Li mentally prepared.

But speaking of this, we brought back some "devil's blood" from Xinliu Valley and discovered a new business opportunity, which is the expensive "magic catalytic" scroll on the market. I didn't expect Xinliu Valley to have such a huge treasure that is incalculable. Just a pool of demon blood in the stone chamber can produce at least thousands of scrolls. The scholars of Yekis always say that a successful inscription master was piled up with countless money, so I think that such a huge wealth may pave my future path to an inscription master.

The bells prepared before class came from the teaching building. Ying Li and I listened with each other, knowing that if we didn't rush back at this time, we would probably continue to stand behind the seats in the demonstration hall to listen to the class, so we hurriedly ran towards the iron gate of the rooftop.

Just when Ying Li and I just ran to the rooftop iron gate, the rooftop iron gate was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people walked out of it, including Heidi Magic Tutor, who was as cold as an iceberg. Her cold and beautiful appearance had already burned to the freezing point. I could only look at her secretly and know that she was getting angry. Whoever she saw with those beautiful eyes could almost turn people into ice.

She followed her assistant Sophie. When Sophie saw me, she looked at me. It seemed that something was about me... I was so embarrassed!

Next to Teacher Heidi is a group of knight masters wearing the uniforms of the Guard Battalion Punishment House. If you want to say that these people are real knight masters, they are not responsible for public security or city defense. They are a group of guard battalion inspectors who supervise the ethics of knights, commonly known as the punishment knight. Behind them, the big knight who had met several times on the Manor Mountain Road. He saw him standing behind the crowd with a look of disdain, and it seemed that his situation must be very bad recently.

I think: No one will look good when invited by these knights of commandments!

Before these masters of the Knights of the Disciplines did anything to me, Teacher Heidi's figure standing at the gate of the iron gate instantly turned into an ice sculpture. The next second, her figure appeared in front of my body. One hand directly grabbed the magic robe on my chest, held it tightly in my hand, and held me in the air. Teacher Heidi was tightly bound to the magic robe. For a moment, I even had difficulty breathing and my face turned red.

Teacher Heidi raised his head and asked me coldly: "Gija, I only give you one chance. You must honestly say, how did you kill the evil mage in the manor behind the temple, the evil ones in the manor behind the temple? Where did you hide the treasures in the manor? Say quickly, don't waste my time, I still have classes!"

Teacher Heidi's cold questions made me feel like a bolt from the blue. I was stunned and didn't know how to answer. I thought to myself: I'm trouble now, how did Teacher Heidi know about me killing that evil mage?

When I was panic and at a loss, I saw the men of the commandments behind me, looking at Teacher Heidi and me with an awkward look.

Sophie was still winking at me from behind, and I instantly understood that Teacher Heidi's move was to advance and retreat. She took the lead in taking action to directly seal the mouths of all the Knights. And the last sentence, "Don't waste my time, I still have classes" was clearly meant to give those Knights the Knights to listen to. I instantly understood Teacher Heidi's original intention. Pretending to be unable to understand, she asked, "Teacher, what did you say?"

Then he became panicked again, and whispered like a child who made a mistake: "You even know what happened to Ying Li and I made an appointment to go to the temple?"
