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".
"The monsters transformed together with the "Magic Faction".
The reason why Sefilia controls this monster army is because she has managed the "Black Maple Courtyard" for decades. In other words, nearly one-third of the output of the black maple tree is distributed by her.
.
This has also led to many spellcasting families sharpening their heads and wanting to send the younger generation of the family to the "Arcane Faction" to become disciples of the mage sage Sefilia.
Of course, this is also related to the teaching level of the mage sage Sefilia. One of the three great teachers of the Arcane Eternal Star is not an empty name.
The leader of the Arcane Faction, the manager of the Black Maple Courtyard, and one of the three great mentors. With these titles, Sefilia has already become one of the highest levels of the Arcane Eternal Star. Of course, above that is the Supreme Person.
That is the unshakable absolute authority, a pinnacle that cannot be shaken no matter how many titles you have.
Among the four major factions, except Sefilia's "Arcana Faction", the remaining three are not easy to mess with.
The leader of the "Elemental Faction" is King Howling Wind. With this leader as the leader, you can imagine how good the reputation of the "Elemental Faction" is.
In addition to being the leader of the "Elemental Faction", the "Void Library" of the Arcane Eternal Star is also under the jurisdiction of the Howling Wind King.
Of the remaining two factions, the soul figure of the "Magic Faction" is Dean Gu Ya. This is the dean of "Zhongshi Academy". There are many spellcasters in the Arcane Eternal Star who were once his students.
The last faction is the "Soul Faction", and its leader is Juwin Garwitch. More people call this old woman Lord Soul.
The Great Bell Tower under the jurisdiction of Juwin Garwitch seems ordinary. In fact, all soul-related resources are stored in the Great Bell Tower. Yes, all soul crystals and soul crystal nuclei of the Arcane Eternal Star are stored in the Great Bell Tower.
Store it there.
Before this person took over the Great Clock Tower, the soul crystals and soul crystal cores of the Arcane Eternal Star were in extreme shortage for a long time. After this person took over, although they are still scarce, they are barely enough. In recent years, there are still some.
surplus.
In short, the four leaders of the four factions all manage an extremely wealthy department or region, or serve as the dean of "Nakashi Academy".
In Su Xiao's view, it seemed that he was attracted by Arcane Eternal Star when he went to Arcane Eternal Star this time, but it was not certain which faction attracted him.
Specifically choose which faction you prefer, and you will see which faction gives you more.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of such benefits. As for signing a contract or something similar, let’s not talk about Su Xiao’s accomplishments in this area. What does the contract signed by Shengyan Medicine Master have to do with him?
As for which faction to make friends with in the future, it is still the same old strategy. It depends on which of the four factions gives more. Anyway, it is just free prostitution. As long as nothing suspicious is revealed, there is no need to worry about other aspects.
First of all, exclude the Howling Wind King. From the Wind Prince, you can see the nature of his father. There is a high probability that the Howling Wind King will not participate in this competition, otherwise he will not manage the Void Library.
Dean Gu Ya, Master Soul, and Sefilia, Su Xiao is most optimistic about Sefilia. This round of management of the "Black Maple Courtyard" has been transferred to Sefilia. It is a tree dozens of meters tall.
The tall black maple tree, from which you can imagine how many resources Sefilia has at her disposal at this stage.
However, it is also a good choice to make friends with Lord Soul. As a master of the three techniques, Su Xiaoqi lacks a soul crystal core.
After thinking about this, the train gradually stopped. Su Xiao still closed his eyes and took a nap. After all the passengers got off the train, he took Beni off the train.
A majestic scene over a thousand meters high, like a space vortex, is located in front. Around this dark purple space vortex, there are golden lines that disappear into the air. This is the "Gate of Law", the only way to enter the arcane Eternal Star.
A figure wearing full-body armor with magic energy patterns engraved on the armor stands in front of the Gate of Law. Most of these figures are ten meters tall, and only a few of them are between 1.8 and 3 meters tall. They are responsible for inspection.
Proof of permission to enter and exit the Dharma Gate, or invitation letter for this Arcane Dharma Celebration, etc.
These are not spellcasters. With the arrogance of the spellcasters, they will never do this kind of guarding of the "Gate of Magic" themselves. Instead, they order slaves who are completely controlled by the power of magic to guard this place.
There are already several groups of people lining up in front of the "Gate of Law", waiting to check the invitation letter and enter.
Seeing this, Su Xiao chose a team and started queuing up, but the queue was really long.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, a familiar figure trotted over from a distance, and finally stopped beside Su Xiao. It was the short-haired girl he met yesterday, who was Sefilia's disciple.
"Mr. Shengyan, what are you doing?"
"queue."
"You don't have to queue, just go to the front."
The short-haired girl scratched her short hair hard, but her little brain couldn't keep up with the alchemist master's thoughts.
"Lead the way."
"Ah? Oh! Okay."
The short-haired girl began to lead the way, and soon she arrived under the Gate of Law. Su Xiao walked onto a teleportation array, and the short-haired girl on the side activated it. Vaguely, Su Xiao heard an exclamation, and the short-haired girl shouted: '
No!!'
The next moment, Su Xiao appeared in a vast field. The ground here was paved with flat square stones. Each square stone was several meters in diameter and was cleaned to be spotless.
Located not far away, a mana guard with a height of ten meters stood in a large row, all looking at Su Xiao.
"Who are you?"
A male spell caster sitting on top of the magic energy guard spoke. Surrounding him were several fist-sized, slowly coiling magic energy balls. His eyes were completely dark, with no distinction between fundus and pupils, which was impressive.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, but just threw the invitation letter in his hand to the other party. After the black-eyed spellcaster took it, there was confusion in his eyes at first, and then there was a sense of pie-in-the-sky surprise.
"Are you...the Holy Flame Medicine Master?"
"right."
"I am Lu En from Zhongshi Academy. I have admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance today."
Lu En was a little confused and a little shocked at the moment. In the days leading up to the Arcane Celebration, all parts of the Arcane Eternal Star were very interesting. As a result, he was transferred by the academy to guard this closed "Magic Palace".
Door".
I originally thought that this was an extremely boring job, but Rune never expected that the alchemist they wanted to win over at this arcane celebration would suddenly appear in this "Magic Festival" where no one should have come.
In front of the door.
Thinking about it with his feet, Rune knew that it was the people from Mentor Sefilia's side who had adjusted the wrong transmission device when picking up the person. Apart from Green Way, Rune really didn't think there was anyone there who could have done this.
Other idiots can make such mistakes.
In other words, Master Sefilia's acceptance of Greenway as a disciple has been an unsolved mystery discussed by the younger generation in recent months. How could such a serious mentor accept such a disciple?
"Mr. Sheng Yan, are you thirsty? I have wine here. If you are hungry, I have snacks here."
Lu En didn't want to laugh out loud, but he just couldn't help it.
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing, but at this moment, shouts came from a distance.
"sorry!!"
The short-haired girl ran at full speed. When she got near Su Xiao, she braked suddenly and slipped.
"..."
"..."
Su Xiao and Lu En did not speak, and Lu En even lowered his head and covered his face with one hand, as if to say that this sand sculpture did not belong to their Arcane Eternal Star.
"Sorry, I set the wrong transmission device."
The short-haired girl Greene Wei expressed her apology very sincerely.
"What's your name?"
Su Xiao opened her mouth, and when she heard this, Greene Wei's heart trembled. She subconsciously thought that this Holy Flame Medicine Master would complain to her mentor later.
"My name is... Luen."
Greene Wei's voice was a little soft in the second half of the sentence, and she tilted her head slightly with a guilty conscience.
"Holy shit!"
Rune, who was sitting on the magic guard more than ten meters away, had good hearing. He said angrily: "Her name is Green Wei. She is the apprentice of Teacher Sefilia. She lives in the lakeside dormitory."
Hearing this, Greene Wei closed her eyes in despair.
"Oh? Green... Wei."
After Su Xiao looked at Green Wei up and down, she asked him to lead the way.
Greene Wei asked tentatively: "Mr. Shengyan, you won't complain to my mentor, will you?"
"Won't."
"Really? You are such a good person. Let me tell you, I was too nervous just now..."
Greene Wei gradually returned to her previous jumping appearance and began to lead the way.
"Mr. Sheng Yan, you see, that is the tallest "Magic Energy Tower" in our Arcane Eternal Star. It is more than 1,200 meters high. If a thief comes, one shot can knock them all to pieces."
Green Way pointed to the "Magic Tower" standing in the distance, already transforming into a little tour guide.
"My mentor also said before that when you come, I will take you to visit "Silver Moon Lake". My mentor... mentor, mentor!!"
Greene Wei suddenly stopped. Because of what happened just now, she had forgotten that she was still waiting to meet the mentor of the Holy Flame Medicine Master at No. 3 "Gate of Law".
At this moment, Greene Wei suddenly felt that the world had become bleak, and so had her life.
"Mr. Sheng Yan, instead of going to "Silver Moon Lake", we should visit the "Gate of Law"."
"..."
Lidya Su said nothing, just stopped.
Ten minutes later, in front of No. 3 "Gate of Law", Su Xiao stopped here with the extremely anxious Greene Wei leading the way.
Su Xiao came behind a group of spell casters in front of them. These casters looked at the Gate of Law in front of them from time to time. The few people at the front were holding banners to welcome them. However, the banners were held crookedly. After all, they were still in the preparation stage.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"I don't know. Calculating the time, it should be here."
"I've been waiting here since morning. Lady Sefilia is really good at summoning people."
"Shut up, you lazy elementalists."
More than a hundred spellcasters, both men and women, were talking to each other in low voices. Being in the Arcane Eternal Star, they were in the most relaxed state of perception and did not notice that a figure was sitting on the last step. Green Wei was sitting beside him.
, and looked like he was about to die.
The scene became extremely magical, and Sefilia, who was at the front, wearing a golden and white robe, and looking at the door of law, her slender eyebrows gradually wrinkled. Normally, the guests she wanted to welcome should be within half an hour.
She had arrived before, but now she has not come. Not only the guests have not come, but the apprentice she sent to the other side of the Gate of Law has not come back either.
This gave Sefilia an ominous premonition. She suspected that the Holy Flame Apothecary had been assassinated. After this thought occurred, she decided to go to the Gate of Law to see the situation.
"You guys, come with me..."
As soon as Sefilia turned her gaze, she saw the figure sitting on the steps behind everyone, and Greene Wei, who seemed to be about to ascend to heaven as if her soul was about to float out of her mouth.
Sefilia narrowed her eyes, took a closer look, and signaled the waiting spellcasters to disperse.
When all the greeters left, Sefilia stepped forward and said: "Mr. Holy Flame, welcome to the Arcane Eternal Star."
"Um."
"Mr. Shengyan came all the way. Do you want to live in a quieter residence or be neighbors with other distinguished guests?"
"With the others."
"good."
As Sefilia spoke, the ring on her little finger shimmered, and the next moment, everything around her suddenly changed.
The smell of water vapor and vegetation appeared in the surroundings. A few dozen meters away was a lakeside dormitory. It was said to be a dormitory, but it was actually extremely luxurious. More importantly, this place was one of the student accommodation areas of "Nakashi Academy", so there was no need for safety.
Talk too much.
"All the distinguished guests this time will be accommodated here. Mr. Sheng Yan, please choose a guest room."
After Sefilia raised her hand, several room keys appeared, floating neatly.
Su Xiao chose randomly, turned to look at the endless lake, and asked: "This lake has a unique atmosphere, what is it?"
"This is Silver Moon Lake."
"oh."
Su Xiao walked towards the lakeside dormitory, went up to the third floor, passed through the corridor with a window on one side, and opened the door with the key.
Seeing this, Sephilia, who had brought Green Wei here, said, "I'm tired from the journey, so I won't disturb Mr. Shengyan's rest."
With these words behind her, Sephilia left with Greenway.
The door behind her was closed, and Su Xiao looked around at the layout of the room. The carpet was spotless, the furnishings were antique, and the curtains were thick. After closing the curtains, the room was pitch dark. The bathroom and toilet were separated, and there were two bedrooms.
Su Xiao sat on the single sofa. It was similar to what he expected. Arcane Eternal Star did not conduct any checks, but this did not mean that there would be fewer subsequent tests.
In addition, the girl named Green Wei seems to be doing something ridiculous, but if you think differently, this may also be a temptation.
In serious situations, everyone will stay vigilant, but when faced with coincidences that are both funny and magical, most people will relax their vigilance for a moment.
After a while, Su Xiao stood up, took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, went out to the corridor, and looked out at the lake outside the window.
Silver Moon Lake.
Su Xiao definitely doesn't believe that this lake with moonlight breath has nothing to do with Silver Moon Wolf.
"Meow."
Penny on Su Xiao's shoulder called out, meaning that it just heard someone opening the door to the next room. It seemed that other guests invited by Arcane Eternal Star had arrived.
At this moment, the door of the next door opened, and a figure wearing a light-colored dress walked out of it. After looking at Su Xiao, he walked towards the stairs in the middle of the corridor.
Su Xiao continued to look out the window. He felt that compared to the welcoming ceremony of the Arcane Eternal Star, the neighbor he met now was a bit more wonderful. The person living next door to him was actually the goddess of luck.
