Chapter 54: Neighbors(1/3)
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Su Xiao looked at Penny aside. Penny had slept too much in the past two days. She couldn't sleep last night. She stared at her bright eyes and played games all night.
Judging from the erratic look in his eyes, he is preparing to sleep during the day.
"Meow."
Penny barked, meaning that this morning she saw Nilin leaving in a hurry before dawn.
This is actually understandable. Normally, Nilin should come to say hello and express her gratitude before leaving. The problem is that during yesterday's treatment, Nilin was deeply involved in a nightmare. As a result, she only needs to see her now.
Su Xiao felt phantom pain all over her body, and the pain was getting worse and worse.
The time is almost here, not counting today, there are only three days left before the Arcane Celebration will be held.
Each Arcane Magic Celebration lasts for 5 to 7 days. The morning of the first day is the opening ceremony. The atmosphere is solemn and not interesting. Only middle-aged and elderly spell casters will take the initiative to attend this opening ceremony. Other spell casters have to attend.
Come.
At noon on the first day, we went to the grand banquet hall for dinner. This was a part that most people liked. At this luncheon, the Arcane Eternal Star Association showed extreme generosity, using rare ingredients that could not be bought normally.
, you can taste it today, and it’s free + unlimited.
In the afternoon of the first day, young people from all ethnic groups communicated and learned with each other. This environment was actually a business exchange between young people, or greetings between enemies, but it should be appropriate and absolutely not violent.
When it gets dark, there will be a dinner party at seven or eight o'clock. This is a must-go for young men of all races. The reason is that to see the legs, who can refuse a female caster wearing an evening dress?
Where are the beautiful girls from other ethnic groups?
On the second day, the "Star Square" was almost fully open, and in the afternoon, the "Void Library" of the Arcane Eternal Star would also be partially open.
In the evening, there was an auction jointly organized by several major races at the "Liguang Manor". This auction can be said to be the most grand auction in the void every few years.
The noodles will definitely be full.
It is worth mentioning that this auction only accepts soul coins as payment. This threshold will undoubtedly make the auction a few levels higher.
On the third day, there will be the finale show. From the third to the fifth day, young talents from all races will express themselves in the "Arena" of "Star Square".
Naturally, there are prizes for this kind of competition. The top six prizes are provided by the Arcane Eternal Star, the Demon Clan, the Feather Clan, the Star Clan, the Devil Clan, and the Soul Clan respectively.
Each major force provides one type, and the first and best reward is naturally provided by the Arcane Eternal Star.
It's just that every time the winners are mostly young spellcasters from the Arcane Eternal Star, and occasionally the younger generation of the Soul Clan.
Among the several major forces, the Soul Clan is even more low-key than the Star Clan. They are too ancient and silent, and it is difficult to see the people here.
To be precise, there is another great force in the void, and that is the underground force led by White Bull. However, this great force in the dark world cannot, for various reasons, act as a great force like other great forces.
, participate in the Arcane Celebration.
This is not without its benefits. Young people from the White Bull Force can also participate in the Arcane Celebration Competition, but the number of places is limited.
This is the tacit tacit expression shown by Arcane Eternal Star, which is not only giving White Bull face, but also warning White Bull.
Bai Niu himself didn't care about this. If the young subordinates he selected ranked among the top six, it would be equivalent to using the prizes given by other big forces in vain. Who would have any objection to such a satisfying thing?
Don't think that this kind of competition between the younger generations of each ethnic group is a routine performance. This kind of competition can undoubtedly reflect whether each ethnic group has successors.
You don't need to think about it to know that Su Xiao will definitely be a VIP audience at that time. Just watching the novices pecking each other will inevitably seem boring, so for so many years, every time this stage comes, someone will open a handicap in private.
When the competition of the younger generation is over, the Arcane Celebration has come to an end. Representatives of all ethnic groups will participate in the secret meeting hosted by the Arcane Eternal Star to re-divide the territory. After this secret meeting every few years,
, the division of forces in the void has undergone considerable changes.
…
The scenery outside the train window flew by. Su Xiao did not go to the Arcane Eternal Star with Bainiu. The reason was that someone had just left the mansion in the flower field and someone came to seek revenge on Bainiu.
In the past, these people did not dare to jump out on White Bull's territory. Now that the Lighthouse Star is under the jurisdiction of the Arcane Eternal Star, these people took the opportunity to seek revenge on White Bull.
In other words, Bai Niu did this on purpose. He seemed to be here alone, but he actually brought a group of capable and ruthless younger brothers.
Every time he comes to the Arcane Celebration, Bainiu can receive various valuable weapons or secret treasures used in battle from a group of enemies, and he will not take action during the whole process, watching his younger brothers besiege the incoming enemies.
That's it, not only can you make extra money, but you can also take the opportunity to clear out the number of enemies.
In the past, the Arcane Eternal Star had an Arcane Celebration every year, but now it happens every few years. White Bull is quite dissatisfied with this. In the past, it harvested one crop a year, but in recent years, it takes several years to harvest one crop.
Bai Niu does not underestimate his enemies, but as the underground emperor of the dark world, his enemies are too numerous to count.
Among the members of the Star Constellation, Bai Niu has the most experience in being revenged. Every time he goes out without his little brother, if he doesn't meet anyone seeking revenge for more than ten days, he will become vigilant. That means that the upcoming event
Waves of enemies are difficult to deal with.
There were many passengers in the train, and most of them came to participate in this Offensive celebration, such as the two acquaintances opposite, the two sisters Lilim Mia and Lilith Aya.
The two sisters are completely different in appearance, temperament, and clothing. It is confusing to say that they are half-siblings.
Lilim is a succubus. To be precise, this is the shame of a succubus. As a succubus, the slim leather clothes she wears are tighter than those of the little girl from the Yin tribe next to her. To be precise, they are tighter than those worn by her sister Lilith.
Strict.
Lilith on the side is a fighting demon. Before Su Xiao went to the Black Abyss, the demon clan also sent her to the Black Abyss. As a result, Lilith, who knew nothing about anything except fighting, became aware of the dangers in the world.
In addition to Lilim and Lilith, there was also a demon with white hair and a broken horn on the opposite side. Just by looking at the rough look on the other person's face and the stubbornness unique to a reckless man in his eyebrows, you could guess that this was a demon.
Tiehanhan, this Tiehanhan’s name is Mond. This time he is not only here to participate in the arcane celebration, but also on vacation.
In other words, he was forcibly removed from the battlefield by the higher-ups of the Demon Clan. Ever since the war between the Demon Clan and the Yu Clan, Mond was like a flat-headed man possessed. He was either fighting to the death or on the way to a fight without even eating.
Sleeping is all done on the road, and I am in a state of combat 24 hours a day.
Because of this, the aura of this fool is extremely strong at this moment, surpassing Lilim and Lilith, and at the very least, it has a ninth-level combat power.
Demons like Mondstadt either die at a young age or become very strong. Demons do not lack resources, and they will not let people of Mondstadt's race lack resources.
Next to Mondstadt, Lilim, and Lilith, there is an old demon with a goat head. This old demon is old and thin, but don't underestimate it at all. This is one of the old immortals of the demon clan, Walpole.
In addition to the four demons, there were several acquaintances in the carriage. Su Xiao looked at the seats closer to the front. Sias, Ona and his wife were sitting opposite each other, having lunch together. Although lunch was not a big deal,
The meal was sumptuous, but the bottle of table wine must be valuable. The couple must be on a business trip at official expense.
Sitting next to Sias and Ona was Wood, and next to him was a pale, thin, morbidly beautiful girl. This was Wood's sister. Su Xiao and Sias had heard Wood mention it before.
.
Whether it is the Sias couple or the Wood brothers and sisters, it is normal for them to come here. In this arcane celebration, one of them represents the fallen star, and the other has participated in the arcane celebration several times.
The Sias couple and the Wood brothers and sisters obviously made an appointment with each other to go to the Arcane Eternal Star together.
As for Su Xiao's chance encounter with them here, this was not a chance encounter. Su Xiao chose this train after learning about Wood's general whereabouts through the intelligence channel at Bainiu, and met Lilim and others.
This is indeed a coincidence.
With nothing to do, Su Xiao took out an ancient book, and a few seconds later, Sias, who was a few meters away, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his wife Ona, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"It's so expensive, drink it slowly."
Ona put down the wine glass and spoke in a voice that only Sias could hear. Sias smiled and poured another glass, and the glass was full, almost overflowing. Seeing this, Ona smiled "gently and considerately".
"When you feel better, of course you have to drink a few more drinks."
Sias drank the wine in the glass again. Hearing this, Ona looked suspicious. Previously, this person in her family knew that she was coming to the Arcane Eternal Star to participate in the Arcane Celebration. Xian De was worried, but now she has a different attitude.
.
Sias whispered: "Honey, I recently learned a truth, knowledge is power."
"Pfft~, cough cough cough..."
Ona choked after a sip of wine. She looked at her husband solemnly and asked: "Husband, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Wood, who was sitting next to him, pushed up his sunglasses.
At first glance, nothing has changed in the car. In fact, everything is as it should be. Wood pushed up the sunglasses he was wearing, which means seeking stability. This is a void. There are some things that he cannot do openly, even if it is true.
If they want to join forces to cause trouble, he is also the one hiding in secret. This is understandable, since the devil clan is a force in the void.
In other words, Void is Wood's hometown, and he must have chosen a low-key way to do things here. Furthermore, the Devils have never been known for being high-profile, but rather for being weird and insidious.
Sias is the opposite. He represents the Death Star, or the camp of the ancient gods. This side is chaotic, extremely evil, and strange.
Sias filled the wine to the point where it almost overflowed, clearly indicating that if something happened, he would not only participate, but also fill it up directly, and if he wanted to cause trouble, he would do it the biggest and most ruthlessly.
The reason why Sias and Wood expressed this way was not because they had the ability to see through Su Xiao's disguise.
In the "Cathedral" of the Dead City before, Su Xiao had interpreted this ancient book. There were only five people who knew that he had this ancient book, not counting Bubo Wang, Amu, etc. They were clearly the demon blacksmith, Gulu, and Caesar.
,Sias,Wood.
Based on the acuity of the two dog thieves not far away, Su Xiao was sure that they could discover this.
After reading the ancient books for a while, Su Xiao began to take a nap with her eyes closed, thinking about the countermeasures this time.
First of all, although the internal structure of the spellcaster forces is extremely complex, excluding some non-combat factions or schools, there are actually only four powerful factions in the Arcane Eternal Star.
1. Austrian law faction.
2. Elemental faction.
3. The magic faction.
4. Soul faction.
Among the four factions, the leader of the "Arcane Faction" is the mage sage Sefilia. In addition to her disciples, she also controls the strongest garrison of the Arcane Eternal Star. Those who are not spellcasters are "soul factions".
To be continued...
