"These two stones have been enchanted by the Great Prophet. When you get close to the bastard who killed Dolan, there will be a notification."
"The Great Prophet has already foreseen the location of that brat, but that place is not a place to act rashly."
“I’ve already contacted the person on the paper beforehand and explained everything clearly. You just need to bring the things to him.”
"After I finish dealing with things here, I will visit him."
"Ok."
Mosan quickly stepped forward, put away the paper and stones, and went outside.
The door was closed again.
Larry looked at the now quiet room and took a deep breath.
He felt empty inside, and an unnamed fire ignited in his heart, which he forcibly suppressed.
The pressure on him from the capital is now at its peak. If he leaves Bandanda, his downfall is imminent.
Furthermore, he received information that the capital wanted to bring him down completely within three months.
Ah.
Larry sneered inwardly.
downfall?
As long as four out of five are eliminated, even the capital city cannot bring him down.
All this time, he has nurtured, loved, and even spoiled his son, just for this day.
He could never repeat his father's mistakes.
……
Six or seven hours later,
In the Forest of Illusions.
Luo Xiu and his group followed behind Nika.
The light around me seems to be getting stronger.
The once dark mushroom forest gradually regained its color under the refraction of light.
Nika pointed in a certain direction ahead and smiled nonchalantly:
"Mr. White, we're almost there."
"Please be prepared, I believe Kanril will not let you down."
Luo Xiu nodded and smiled:
"I am looking forward."
Just after the group had walked another hundred or two meters,
Luo Xiu followed Nika through an archway made up of two mushroom trees, one red and one white.
moment,
The bright, dazzling light shone into his eyes.
He squinted unconsciously.
All around were the sounds of lively conversations, carriages, vendors' cries, and arguments, all mingling together to create a bustling atmosphere.
Luo Xiu opened his eyes.
What comes into view is a towering city wall that can only be described as majestic. This wall stretches out to the left and right like the horizon, disappearing into the distance with no end in sight.
Below the city wall,
It has five huge, wide archways, each marked with a different symbol.
Above the first archway was a sinister magic circle.
The second archway features a nimble hand.
The third archway features a human figure whose face is obscured.
Above the fourth archway are crossed swords and shields, with a staff in the center.
The fifth archway features a skull.
Outside the archway was a vast rectangular area filled with a lively crowd, with tents and campsites everywhere, and long queues.
Especially below the second archway, a long queue stretched from the entrance all the way to where Luo Xiu was standing.
There is a row of statues standing there.
It seems to exist as a boundary line for the living areas outside this city wall.
Inside the statue, between it and the city wall, there was a great deal of noise.
Outside the statue, in the forest of illusions, only Luo Xiu and his companions were present.
"This is the outer city of Kanriel."
Nika laughed:
"Welcome to Kanriel, Mr. White."
"How about it? It should be more imposing than Bandanda, right?"
Luo Xiu nodded.
He had never even been to Bandanda, only stayed in Wheel Town, and the scene before him was indeed far more prosperous than Wheel Town.
Moreover, this is outside the city walls.
A faint sound of flowing water reached Luo Xiu's ears, and he was startled:
“Miss Nika, can you hear that? It sounds like a river flowing by.”
Nika gave a thumbs up:
"Mr. White is really amazing. This is one of Kanriel's signature attractions, the River of the Sorcerers."
"The main city of Kanriel is a very long and narrow shape. Under its ground, there is a very deep underground river that crosses it. For some reason, the sound of the flowing water in this underground river is extremely loud, so it can be heard on the surface."
"It's called the River of the Sorcerers because there's a legend that there's a passage in the city that leads down to this river, and students from the Alchemy Academy often go down into the river to retrieve the alchemical materials they need."
Dark river, alchemical materials?
Luo Xiu marveled at the wonders of this world.
Nika had already moved forward.
"Come on, Mr. White, let me show you around the outer city."
"I was just looking around to see if any guests wanted to go back to Red Mushroom Town, though I doubt it would be easy to find."
With a reliable guide, Luo Xiu naturally agreed.
Nika led Luo Xiu to the row of statues, pointed at them, and said with a smile:
“Mr. White, this is the Philosopher’s Stone Sculpture Group. Beyond this boundary lies Kanriel’s jurisdiction.”
“A few months ago, these stone sculptures were enchanted by Kanriel’s sorcerers so that they would automatically identify and intercept people carrying the mushroom disease.”
"Furthermore, if any demon bats manage to pass through the Forest of Illusions, they will be intercepted by the Knights when they cross the stone sculpture group."
"And here is a small gift that Kanriel prepared for the guests who have just arrived."
"small gift?"
Luo Xiu looked at the statues.
These statues all appear to be cast from the same type of stone.
However, their condition varies.
Some of the statues look brand new, and even seem to have a faint sheen of wax on them.
Some of the statues were covered in green moss, looking like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Some statues even have only half a body remaining.
What is the connection between these statues and the gifts?
Luo Xiu asked.
Nika chuckled:
"These stone statues are all of people who were once very famous in Kanriel."
"There is a spell cast by the first lord of Kanriel here. As long as you call out the name of any one of these stone statues, you can receive a small gift from Kanriel."
Luo Xiu looked at the stone statues, but there were no familiar faces.
He couldn't help but laugh:
"I don't think I know any of them."
Nika smiled:
"It seems that Mr. White is really not from Kanriel. The one in the middle of these statues is the current lord of Kanriel."
"Count Shek".
Luo Xiu looked in the direction Nika pointed and looked at the stone statue in the very center.
It was a stone statue that looked very new.
He had a mustache, slicked-back hair, and an upright posture.
His face was extremely dignified.
Luo Xiu stepped forward and spoke softly to the stone statue:
"Shek".
Swish! ! !
A flash of shimmering white light appeared on the stone statue.
Luo Xiu felt that the stone statue seemed to have become newer than before.
