Chapter 32 Bet
The sunset is setting, and the afterglow is like fire. The real Alto is even more like a cemetery. Except for a few magicians who guard the walls of different areas far away, there are only a few pedestrians wandering the streets.
On the empty road, a "horse" car drove by quickly without arousing the sound of hooves and wheels colliding, just like a special envoy from the silent hell.
The reason why this "horse" cart is like this is because it has no wheels. The four horses running in front are hazy, as if pale mist condenses, only the head is burning with blazing flames, and the eyes are in two red lights jumping.
"Is this the 'nightmare' in the rumor?" In the half-open car, a rare middle school audio sounded, slightly magnetic, and particularly tempting.
Antek's magic robe turned into a dress with a collar to the back of his head, which was bright and fashionable, which made him particularly uncomfortable. He kept pulling different parts of his clothes, and seemed a little breathless: "Yes, this is a special horse created by the teacher that can directly enter the dream. It is made up of undead creatures such as Ghost Horse and the demon "Dream Controller" with special abilities step by step."
There are too many kinds of demons, and even the most knowledgeable legendary magicians cannot boast that they can fully identify them. Moreover, the magic empire does not have the trend of sharing knowledge and does not come up with enough important things. Others will not share their own unique knowledge at all. Even some spells and knowledge as trump cards will not be shared at all. Therefore, even if some types of demons have been discovered, they are only known by a few people, such as the "dream controller" mentioned by Antek, which Fernando has never heard of before.
"'Nightmare' pulls the cart. Is the party in a dream?" Fernando, the bright and radiant "girl" suddenly said.
Antek laughed dryly: "No, I borrowed it specially. Since I have a female companion, I have to be more grand."
"It seems that you are not completely helpless." Fernando expressed his praise with his unique habits. On his delicate and beautiful face, his bright red eyes were particularly bright, just like the lightning that lit up in the dark, extremely attractive.
Antek first straightened his chest, but soon hunched over again, sighing sadly: "When you are ridiculed, it will be even more painful. 'Look, the female companion that the fool finally found was specially lent out to the nightmare, and it was easily snatched away. The loser is the loser'."
The tone of the next half of his sentence was vivid, and he deliberately pinched his throat, obviously imitating a companion who often laughed at him.
"It's better than before when I was not even qualified to be robbed." Fernando didn't know whether he was comforting or ridiculing.
Antek thought about it: "It makes sense... It's a good thing to make progress every time. Anyway, I don't expect to really find a female companion. When I become a great master, I will have as many female companions as I want in my dream."
"Don't take illusion as reality." Fernando calmed down and reminded his friends seriously that he hadn't seen each other for so many years. He found that Antek was increasingly addicted to dreams.
"Why can't illusion become reality? Why can't dreams become a real world?" Antek suppressed it for a long time before, his tone was a little excited, "This is the common hope of all magicians in the illusion system."
"So, the highest achievement of the illusion system is to deceive yourself?" Fernando's mouth was much more poisonous than Antek.
Antek shook his head: "No, it's not a deception. It's really becoming real..."
Before he finished speaking, the "Nightmare" had stopped. In front of him was a villa with serious style and gloomy colors.
"It's here, don't rush to discuss the illusion." Antek pulled the collar again, walked out of the carriage after stepping, then turned around, and reached out and held "her" down according to the etiquette taught by Fernando - in this regard, Fernando is much more experienced than him.
"You still have the help." Fernando nodded, holding Antek's hand with a very "working ethics". He was short and quite appropriate to stand with the tall and thin Antek.
Antek's face suddenly had a suspicious blush, and his left hand moved unnaturally, feeling the indescribable part below Fernando's neck full and elastic.
"This, this, this, is this true, is it true?" he stammered, his body tense, as if he was entangled by a giant snake.
Fernando said proudly: "Don't doubt my magic level. Even a legendary magician would not be able to achieve such a constant transformation without obtaining that item."
"But I still think it's weird..." Antek led Fernando toward the gate stiffly.
"Haha, you can't even enjoy the 'strange', so hurry up and take the opportunity." Fernando said with a smile, as bright as the sun.
Antek found that Fernando's mouth was so ungrateful that he had to look up to, so he had to shut up and step onto the steps with his hands and feet.
"You think, is the godlike power shown by Pope Gregory in Lance this time true, or is it the magical mystery lock arranged by Lance?" Fernando suddenly spoke up and said something else.
"Ah, what?" Antek did not have the same "frequency" with Fernando at the beginning, and then came to his senses: "I don't know. Anyway, I heard from my teacher that he did surpass the peak of the legend at that time, and there was no doubt, but since the end of the battle, He has not left Lance half a step away."
Fernando nodded, and thought again to the point where Antek could not keep up: "Will Stanis attend to tonight's banquet?"
This is a small circle of gatherings, and most of the leaders are legendary students.
"Ah, what?" Antek expressed his confusion in the same language again, and then said, "He hasn't been in Alto these days and has gone out to collect materials."
With so many magicians gathering in cities such as Alto, materials will not emerge out of thin air for no reason. Therefore, magicians will take turns leaving the city, entering forests and dark mountains to collect resources, or go further to places with rich gem minerals in the north.
This gave night watchmen and clergy the opportunity, assassination, siege and other incidents emerged one after another. The magicians would not swallow their anger and set traps. In turn, they killed the church personnel. Therefore, cities such as Alto and Tria were calm and peaceful when there was no legendary battle, but the surrounding areas were in a state of repeated strangulation.
This is not a trap of trying to lure the legend into action, but neither side has created too much results.
So, Stanis went out, maybe it was to really collect some materials for promotion. Maybe it was to set up a trap.
Fernando knew a lot about this situation and nodded, "When he comes back, he will discuss illusions and dreams with him."
"Well, you're staying in Alto for a few more days to find magicians who have potential and are willing to go to the Holm area." Antek said happily. This is one of his true friends in his life. The total number is no more than three.
Fernando laughed and said, "So my nickname will become 'Antek's shame'?"
"I think you'd better go back as soon as possible... Anyway, you've already understood the general situation." Antek looked at his right hand sadly.
"Hehe, I have to understand the specific battle details in depth, collect information about the Cardinal and the Epic Knight, so that it can be easily dealt with in the future, so in a short time, you have to bear the reputation of shame." Fernando said indifferently.
At this time, the iron door of the villa opened without wind, and a slightly sharp male voice sounded: "Oh, Antek, where did you find a female companion? Could it be that it was paid for the 'Pink Mound'?"
Magicians, Dark Knights, Dwarves and ordinary people have physiological needs, so the "Jinv" industry has not lost space to survive. "Pink Mound" is one of the best, of course. They mainly provide services in dreams.
"This is my good friend. I met at Rentat before, Lando." Antek introduced nervously, for fear that someone would see through Fernando was actually a man.
Fernando smiled brightly and said, "It turns out that Antek has no female companion in Alto."
Antek was a little surprised and he was stunned.
"Haha, someone must also look down on him..." The sharp voice gradually disappeared.
Antek quietly gave Fernando a thumbs up and praised him for his great performance: "He is Beto, and he likes to laugh at me the most. His teacher is the 'elemental dominator'."
…………
In the villa, sixty or seventy magicians were walking in the hall with strange drinks, and they were faintly surrounded by four men and one woman.
There was a water curtain floating in front of the four men and one woman, showing a scene near the iron gate.
"Hmph, Antek also has a female companion I have known since childhood." The sharp voice was a man with two beards. His face was unhesitant and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Tsk, a pretty little beauty." A girl holding a strange light green drink said, "The red-eyed red dress is bright and enthusiastic, and she is such a beauty."
She is tall, with black hair and a pretty appearance, like a pure and beautiful lady, but her words are incredibly rude, but the people around her seem to have been used to it.
Bearded Beto curled his lips: "Fran, this is just a vulgar woman from the countryside, rude and never seen the world."
He belittled Fernando.
In the minds of the magicians who once Antifferre, the Holm area was a countryside, with backwardness and rudeness.
"But you can't deny that the country girl who was not infected by the depravity and lewd atmosphere of Antiffer and Tria must be innocent and shy." The delicate beauty Fran laughed.
A blond man with a gloomy face next to him snorted: "Are you going to embarrass Antek? He is also a legendary student and has a good relationship with Stanis."
"This kind of thing depends on each other's feelings. How can it be embarrassing Antek? Hey, although you like me, you have no right to interfere in my life." Fran sarcastically. She was just talking casually, but when someone interrupted, she was a little angry and wanted to try.
The gloomy man closed his mouth and decided to forget this perverted guy quickly.
Beto's heart moved and said deliberately: "That country girl and Antek have known each other since childhood, and their relationship must be very deep. Fran, even if you want to, you can't succeed."
"Is that?" Fran knew that Beto was trying to stimulate himself, but after looking at Fernando in the water curtain, he still said loudly, "Why do we make a bet?"
