In the hinterland of the far north, on a stretch of snow-capped mountains, a shadow suddenly passed over. It was like a shadow cast by a passing cloud. But if you look carefully, you can find that although this shadow is huge, it is constantly changing.
, like a dancing butterfly.
But when I raised my head, I couldn't see anything, only the long sky and the soothing cloud flow.
I don’t know how long it took, but a strange bird flew to the snow-capped mountains.
This bird is not big, and it is not a living thing. The whole thing is made of metal. If an alchemist is present and looks at it with the alchemical eye, he will find that the inside of this bird is full of springs and hinges.
A robot bird made by mechanical alchemy.
The bird's skin was painted blue and white, and as it flew, it emitted a sound that belonged to a certain wizard's channel.
Following the call of the robot bird, a huge colorful butterfly suddenly appeared in the untainted sky above the snow-capped mountains. Its flapping wings built an exquisite wooden tavern on its back.
The robot bird circled in a circle, flew to the mailbox at the door of the tavern, spat out a red-paper and white-covered letter into the mailbox, and then flew away into the distance without stopping.
As the robot bird disappeared, the huge colorful butterfly also hid its figure again.
When the colorful butterfly disappeared, a little fat man suddenly appeared in the wooden tavern behind it. He jumped to the mailbox, took out the envelope inside, and said loudly to the waiters in the tavern: "
There’s a letter, there’s a letter from the instructor!”
Little Fatty was wearing a white chef's uniform, but his sleeves were full of oil stains and gray unknown powder. His round face was also full of black charcoal marks, and there was a faint aroma of barbecue wafting from his body.
Little Fatty had just finished calling, and a plump woman who was almost naked came out of the tavern. She had bronze skin and a toned and shiny skin. She only wore pieces of cloth cut from a thin white chef's uniform at three o'clock.
Cover up.
"Alan, what did the tutor write? Has she come back after talking for a long time?" Along with the woman's question, various voices came from the tavern, with different voices and different emphasis on the questions, but the content was basically the same.
It’s not much different from what the woman asked.
The chubby little Allen swallowed his saliva and looked at the woman infatuatedly, with blood flowing out of his nose.
When the woman saw this, she covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. As she laughed, the two big lumps on her chest shook. Little Fatty suddenly had nosebleeds and fell to the ground.
"Tana, if you keep wearing it like this, I doubt that our little cute Allen will bleed to death." A cheerful voice came from the tavern.
Tana twisted her hips nonchalantly, winning everyone's mouths of water, and then she pretended to be coquettish and said: "Isn't this my value?"
Tana walked up to Allen amid a burst of howling. She grabbed Allen's feet directly, carried him with one hand and prepared to walk into the tavern.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew away the envelope in Allen's hand, spinning in the air, and landed in the palm of Tana's hand.
Tana lowered her head and looked at the cover of the envelope. It was a row of extremely beautiful squiggles. This butterfly-like squiggle was created by her mentor. It also contained some kind of indescribable password that could only be found in the tavern.
Only people can interpret it.
——Tana, personally written by Allen.
Written to Allen and I? Tana's face was filled with joy, and she didn't care that she was still holding Allen in her hand. With the "bang bang" sound of Allen's head hitting the ground, Tana opened the envelope.
In addition to a letter, there are two cards in the envelope.
After Tana finished reading the letter, she suddenly froze on the spot. Allen covered his head and screamed ouch. Seeing Tana's shocked look, he ignored his headache and walked over, his head close to her.
In front of the envelope.
"...Huh?! What the hell is the Purification Garden? Can it be eaten?!" Allen looked at it in a daze and only saw a few keywords, the Moon of Recovery, Sky Mechanical City, and... the Purification Garden.
…
The Sin World is located in the northwest of Fan Continent and is an affiliated plane in the center of the Baikal Sea. The medium of entry is an undersea crater.
On the edge of the sinful world, there is an inconspicuous small country called the Kingdom of Gabillon.
There is no wizard organization stationed in the Kingdom of Gabillon, and the people here do not know what extraordinary power is. But in this country, a sect was born that is disgusted by most wizards in the wizarding world - the extreme sect.
The belief of the extremist sect is the will of the world. Although most of them call themselves believers, in fact they are also wizards, and they are wizards favored by the will of the world. Because they hunt down all illegal immigrants from other worlds, this is in line with the will of the world.
expectations.
This is probably the "political correctness" of the wizarding world. It is precisely because of political correctness that the leaders of extreme sects even obtain some unexplainable power from the Great Will through some secret methods.
It can be said that although the Extreme Sect is not a wizarding organization, it is a force that cannot be ignored in the wizarding world of the Southern Region.
On this day, in the nurturing garden within the sect, many apprentices who received hunting training and alien knowledge lined up to greet a big figure in the sect—the black-robed bishop.
This is one of the three nurseries of extremist sects.
In the entire nursery, most of them are apprentices under the age of twenty, and some are even only five or six years old. But no matter how old they are, they are all affected by the solemn atmosphere in the nursery. Every apprentice has an expressionless face, as if
The new corpses in the cemetery are cold and pale.
The black-robed bishop is very satisfied with this next generation.
He said calmly: "The Purification Garden of Sky Machinery City is about to open. Those who want to go can sign up here."
All the apprentices did not speak. The black-robed bishop did not get angry because of the cold situation. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, the place in the Purification Garden is not given to you for free. If you want it, you can fight for it."
"Those who sign up will be randomly assigned to a life-and-death battle. The only winner in the end can come to me to claim their spot. Remember, this is a life-and-death battle. Don't tell me about friendship. There is only life or death."
After the black-robed bishop finished speaking, he laughed eerily and left the nursery. Then he continued to walk to the next nursery.
Half a day later, the winner of the first nursery walked the long road paved with blood and appeared in front of the black-robed bishop.
"Very good, tell me your name." The black-robed bishop looked at the cold-faced young man in front of him and said with a satisfied smile.
"Saladin Buai'er." The young man's hair was covered with blood, which showed how fierce the battle was not long ago.
"Very good, I give this card to you." The black-robed bishop handed the boy a card.
The young man nodded, turned and left without saying a word.
The black-robed bishop was very satisfied with the young man's character. The deputy bishop next to him suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty Bishop, I heard that Sky Mechanical City is not behaving well this time. There are many little tricks behind the scenes."
The black-robed bishop smiled: "I have received news that Sky Mechanical City has invited me to discuss matters. From what the messenger said, the Purification Garden may turn into a killing field this time... However, precisely because of the killing field,
, then there will be greater opportunities. Hahahaha!"
…
There is a vast country in the northwest of Yongye Kingdom. Its name is Fengrao Country. Although it is called Fengrao, nearly three-quarters of this country is desert. Because of this, although its land area is very large,
, but neighboring countries are unwilling to attack it.
In the hinterland of the desert in the Fertile Country, a little urchin riding a white sand rhinoceros suddenly appeared in an oasis town.
He was young, looking about ten years old, but he was extremely naughty. In just three days, he traveled through dozens of oasis towns. Every time he passed through an oasis town, there was a wave of criticism, but
But he never tired of it.
He always holds a small leather whip and whips the three-meter-high White Sand Rhinoceros, causing it to break all the buildings it sees with its sharp horns.
When he came to this oasis town called "Horseshoe", something unexpected happened.
Just as he whipped the rhinoceros and crashed into the outer wall of a stone castle, his ears were pinched by a young man falling from the sky.
"It hurts, it hurts—" the little naughty boy cried with a pitiful expression on his face.
The man's face was expressionless: "Loki, my mentor said that you must not interfere with the lives of mortals."
"I didn't interfere, it was Xiaobai who did it!" the little urchin named Loki defended with tears in his eyes.
"Xiaobai is your magic pet, and this is also your responsibility." After the man said this, he grabbed Loki's ears and bowed to apologize to the people gathered around him. He had wiped Loki's butt countless times along the way.
He vowed not to let Loki escape his sight today!
Loki burst into tears and acted coquettishly to everyone.
Seeing such a child, the residents of Horseshoe Town finally forgave him, but they still had to compensate what was due.
But while the compensation was being paid, someone shouted: "Oh no, the sand thieves are coming!"
In the vast desert of Fenghuo Country, there is no official governance, and the most common breeds are sand bandits and bandits. Upon hearing the arrival of sand bandits, the residents of Horseshoe Town all became embarrassed.
However, the sand pirates basically only want to make money. Although their faces are ugly, they are not desperate.
But when someone shouted, "It's the Bari-A-A Sand Bandits," everyone's expressions immediately changed. This was a notorious sand bandit group nearby. They left no grass behind in their path and had massacred several small towns.
Everyone ran away one after another, either hiding in cellars or simply running out into the desert.
However, the little naughty boy Loki and the young man did not hide away. At this time, a kind-faced aunt suddenly pulled Loki over and said: "Foreigners, come and hide in my cellar!"
Before Loki could finish speaking, the young man said calmly: "No need."
The aunt said "Alas" and saw that the sand bandits had entered the town and fled into the cellar. The young man disappeared into the air with a curious look on his face. Loki.
The Bali-Asha Bandits fully lived up to their reputation. They rushed into the town of Horseshoe on horseback, burning and looting along the way. They cut down people they saw and robbed treasures they saw. In just one minute, more than a dozen lives were lost.
Seeing more and more people dying, Loki looked at the young man in confusion: "Brother Hermes, aren't we going to save him?"
He crashed into countless buildings and injured countless people along the way, and he relied on Hermes to clean up the aftermath and save people. So he subconsciously thought that Hermes would show up to save people from the fire and water.
But Hermes shook his head and said: "We don't want to get involved in ordinary people's affairs."
Loki pouted.
Although he likes to play pranks, he has never taken the initiative to kill people.
Loki watched the lives passing away one by one in front of his eyes. When he saw the sand bandits pulling the aunt who had shown kindness to him out of the cellar, Loki finally couldn't help it anymore: "Xiaobai, come on! Get all these sand bandits."
Kill him!"
Hermes glanced at Loki, but did not stop him.
Xiaobai roared and wiped out all the sand pirates with only two or three sand magic tricks.
A sandstorm, a sand trap.
When the town of Horseshoe returned to calm, Loki triumphantly stood out from his invisibility and wanted to be praised by the townspeople, but no one dared to come forward. They all looked at Loki with demonic eyes. Some even asked him
He threw the torch. Even the aunt who showed kindness to him before took a step back in fear.
Loki was a little injured. Brother Hermes didn't save people, but he got the gratitude of many people. He saved people, but he was still disliked by others...
"People's hearts are unpredictable, don't worry about these people. Let's go." Hermes took Loki's hand: "The mentor has arrived at Sky Mechanical City. We have been late for a long time because of your naughty behavior. We can't miss the Purification Garden.
