On the Seven Towers

Eselit's house is on the hillside of Ayre City. The houses in this city are very dense. Even though he was the captain of a cruiser, his house in the city was not too big. It was a three-story house with a small courtyard.

After Esselit and Bruders left respectively, Xiao Chen and his party of more than 20 people waited in this house.

The interior decoration style of houses in the Western Continent tends to be metal and wood, which is very different from the style of the Eastern Continent, which is mainly stone and wood. Many furniture are either steel structures with wooden boards as the countertops, or wood frames with metal decorations.

Xiao Chen guessed that maybe this continent had many trees and was rich in minerals. Industrial development improved smelting technology, so this style was formed.

Xiao Chen picked up a local newspaper from the coffee table in the living room. This newspaper called Al's Morning was very similar to an early newspaper from another world. It was full of all kinds of gossip, advertisements and gossip. Some serious news items are squeezed into the upper part of the first page.

"Mayor Agurod visited the newly completed Anita Steel Plant. The new plant will recruit 20 experienced workers and 50 apprentices."

"The fire that broke out in the north of the city the night before killed six people. It is reported that it was an attack launched by rebel wizards to rob the prison. The execution team of the referee agency has come to the city. All residents are asked not to panic and try not to go out. If you find strangers Please report your whereabouts to the City Hall in a timely manner.”

"The day after tomorrow, the witch Beida, who used demonic power to kill and wound five civilians, will be hanged in the square in front of the city hall."

Among the most important pieces of news, two are about witches. It seems that people who use "devil's power" are not as rare as Captain Balivian said.

The witch would be publicly hanged, presumably for the most heinous of crimes, and her accomplices were causing trouble in the city in an attempt to free her.

Xiao Chen is very interested in these wizards. According to his guess, these people are actually wild mages. In a world where magic is forbidden, what kind of state the naturally occurring wild mages are like is a very interesting subject. . Especially since most people on this continent are naturally resistant to magic, I wonder how these wild mages will use their power.

When Xiao Chen found Huang Zheng, he was on the terrace of the house, observing the warships in the port. In addition to the Red Cloud, there are two other heavy cruisers parked in the port of Ayre City, as well as four or five smaller warships that can be called destroyers.

"Are you still observing those ships?" Xiao Chen asked.

Huang Zheng rested his hands on the railing, looked at the sea in the distance and said: "Yes, ever since I discovered that the Western Continent is a whole country, I have been wondering why they are still working so hard to develop armaments. If it is to combat pirates and maintain If they are stable, the armor and firepower of these battleships are too strong.”

"Maybe their imaginary enemies are our 'devils' from the Eastern Continent?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I also have such a guess, but such a warship does not look like it is designed for defense."

Xiao Chen said: "Perhaps the top leaders of this country are preparing for an expedition to the Eastern Continent?"

"this……"

"I'm just guessing." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

He handed the newspaper to Huang Zheng and said, "Look at these news about wizards and witches."

Huang Zheng scanned these pieces of news, raised his head and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Wizards and witches are actually a very important aspect of this continent. Before negotiating with the rulers, I would like to see what these people are like. Now give your marines a mission. Search in secret In this city, if you can find these wizards who came to rob the prison, send them to me. I will ask them some questions.

I have sensed some unclear mental energy fluctuations coming from afar. You may gain something by looking in those directions. "

Huang Zheng immediately took the order and left. In this city without magic, it was really convenient for people with magic power to do things secretly.

He sent out two teams, each consisting of a high-level warrior and a high-level mage. They disappeared and sneaked into the city in the direction Xiao Chen pointed out.

For these magicians who can detect spirits, as long as the wizards take action, their mental power will fluctuate as clearly as lights in the dark.

Less than half an hour later, the reconnaissance team composed of Crete and Catalina dragged an unconscious man back.

This was a rather young man, dressed in the clothes of a port freight worker. There were no wounds on his body, and it looked like he had been attacked by magic.

Catalina said: "We found this guy near the port. At that time, he was using some crude tricks to deceive several dock workers, trying to sneak into a warehouse to steal something. We dropped him and stopped there. I looked inside the warehouse and found that it was a warehouse for military supplies, with a lot of explosives piled up. I thought he was going to steal the explosives and use them to blow up the cell."

"Let me come and talk to him." Xiao Chen, Luo Ling and others took the young man to a lounge and sealed the room with magic. First, he searched everything on the wizard and then woke him up.

After the young man suddenly woke up, he found that he was in a very strange room. He was sitting on a chair, and there were several men and women standing opposite him.

He thought he was caught by the judicial authority and wanted to escape immediately. He pushed his hands forward without any reason, and a ball of sparks popped out between his hands, rolling towards Xiao Chen and Luo Ling in the shape of a fan. But the magic disappeared before it sprayed in front of Xiao Chen. The man who was turning to escape from the room was immediately kicked on the leg by Roger who was guarding on the side, and fell to the ground.

"Don't get excited, wizard." Xiao Chen looked down at him and said, "This is not a judicial authority, and we are not executors. I brought you here just to ask you some questions."

The young wizard obviously didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, and his face was full of distrust, "If you didn't want to catch me, why did you secretly attack me and tie me here?"

Xiao Chen didn't answer his question, but just said: "What's your name first?"

"Name? Those of us who hide have long abandoned our names. They call me Crow, and you can call me by this name too."
