When taking a four-wheeled carriage to a garden party, the first problem encountered is how to transport the carriage there.

Moon City and Tambunita are actually in a straight line, facing each other across a semicircular bay.

"Can we drive the car to Port Toto and go to Might and Magic?" Cecil asked at the meeting before the trip.

"It's too expensive if you go by horse-drawn carriage." Oakes now has the financial power in his hands, mainly dealing with too much turnover. Cecil tried a few times and was dizzy by the numbers, so he had to throw it to him who is proficient in mathematical magic, "By boat Bar."

Cecil was a little puzzled and said: "Didn't the first batch of knights come through Might and Magic? There are only fifteen of us this time."

"Might and Magic is not priced by the number of people, um, if it is purely superior, it is priced by the quantity." Langdon explained, "If it is sold, it will be priced by weight."

Hearing this, Cecil immediately became depressed. The chassis and transmission of the four-wheeled carriage are made of metal, and the carriage is made of burnt hardwood. .

"I saw a lot of convoys when I went..." Cecil muttered softly.

"They are all loaded with magic items, and most of them are transiting here from the side of the Luofeng Mountains. There is a distance limit for Might and Magic." Langdon said patiently, "Might and Magic is settled with ordinary coins, compared to magic coins. It’s too cheap to come, and if the transport is magic goods, it’s not a big cost to go through the magic door.”

Cecil looked at the composure on other people's faces, and said with some doubts: "Then how do we get there? If we float on the sea for half a month, the garden party will be over long ago, right? Besides, we need more time to get from here to Toto Port." Time! Even if there is a carriage, there is no road, and you can’t run fast.”

"So we need to ask the temple for help." Langdon said with a smile, "Why do you always want to solve things by yourself? Since the temple requires us to participate, of course we need to give some support. It is impossible for us to go empty-handed." of."

Cecil: "..."

There is always a bad feeling.

Later that day, the support from the temple arrived. Calculating the time, they set off about half a month ago.This is a large group of magic knights, professional magicians trained by the Knights, wearing the gleaming uniforms of the Gay Knights, and bringing a lot of materials.

The entire leadership headed by Langdon was dispatched to greet them. Because of the existence of O'Casey, everyone had to do a crooked face-to-face salute, which took a lot of time and made everyone's cheeks blush.

"We will build a temporary magic gate on the grassland outside the city, leading directly to Yargi, the capital of Tambunita. The construction will be completed tomorrow, and then we will remove the materials and return to the temple. Thank you very much for your hard work outside." The friendly-looking knight said to Langdon, "It's fine here."

"Yes." Langdon nodded, "Thank you for your support."

Cecil felt something was wrong: "Can't this door stay here all the time?"

Langdon and the person in charge of Might and Magic looked over at the same time. The person in charge nodded to Langdon, turned and left.

"Without enough energy support, how can we open the magic door?" Langdon said helplessly, "What's more, we only have so few people here. Erji, it doesn't make sense to ask for this."

Cecil noticed the important point in the words: "Speaking of which, what is magic used as energy source?"

"Magic energy."

"..."

Can't talk.

"Then how do we come back? Did he say that we would dismantle it after we leave?" Cecil asked with a little hope.

"Come back." Langdon ruthlessly broke this expectation.

Cecil: "..."

I shouldn't have fantasized about it.

Because of the construction of the Might and Magic Gate, the residents in Moon City ran out to watch the excitement. The Sirin and Ebo people looked at the western scene and pointed boldly. The women were also in high spirits. From time to time, turbans flashed from the sky. And pass.

In contrast, the focus of the Cavaliers is different.

Some of them came for the magic knights, their dog-legged appearance was almost invisible, but it was the knights surrounding Owen who caught Cecil's attention.

Well, Owen, who looks like a sickly beauty, is indeed very eye-catching, and his identity as a healer is extremely popular, not to mention his good temper. The knights jumped on him like moths, one crop after another.

Cecil watched silently for a while, then leaned closer to Langdon and said, "Look over there, isn't this a deception?"

Langdon glanced at the crowd, and said calmly, "Owen doesn't like men. The boys know that, and they just want to get close to a healer. How can there be so many men who like men? Most of them join the group." gone."

The logic is really impeccable.

Seeing Owen pull a knight's wrist to feel for the pulse, Cecil said a little reluctantly: "Is Owen the kind of person who cares about others and is very nice?"

"Healing mages are like this." Langdon was busy looking at the bill in his hand. This is a list brought by the magic knights and must be signed by the local top supervisor. How is your body?"

flesh……

Cecil watched in a daze as several knights squeezed into Owen's side, some stretched out their hands, some stuck out their tongues, some were about to take off their clothes and didn't know what to show.

"Then what, if Owen is what he is, would there still be so many knights around?" Cecil hesitated, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the key point.

"No." Langdon also ruthlessly revealed the truth.

"...Then do you want to tell them the truth?"

Langdon finally read the list. After signing, he habitually pressed Cecil's forehead, and said with a smile, "Owen didn't want to tell us his name. His magic probably has something to do with his real name. Maybe it will be easier to tell us his real name." Exposed, do you understand?"

"He didn't want to reveal his true colors." This was not beyond Cecil's expectations.

Langdon nodded: "So, you must protect the illusions of your comrades, right? Don't offend a master healer by the way."

"Of course." Cecil said without hesitation.

Langdon patted Cecil on the forehead: "Very good."

After Cecil apologized to the "comrades" who swarmed up, he remembered something: Why did Owen tell Langdon his real name?

The construction of the Might and Magic Gate was very fast. On the second day, a huge semicircular arch was erected outside the Moon City. The material was very strange. It glowed with metal but had a stone texture. It was hot to the touch and had amazing hardness.

There are a total of 15 people on this trip, Cecil and Langdon are must go, the entourage includes Russell, O'Casey and Eugene, and the other [-] entourages, five legion knights, five ordinary knights, and nine carriages vehicles and merchandise.

Cecil was a little strange when he saw the list: "Why didn't Russell and Oaks stay together, and Moyer and O'Casey stayed, it seemed as if they were deliberately separated."

"The lovers of the leadership are not allowed to fight at the same time, as a rule," Langdon said.

"Why?" Cecil didn't understand.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?Lovers who go to the battlefield together are more effective in combat. Isn't that how Sparta came from.

"Ordinary knights are not limited to this, only leaders." Langdon tilted his head slightly, showing a meaningful expression, "On the surface, the argument is not to let lovers sacrifice both, but in fact it is to prevent the frontline or rear Betrayal, think about it, your lover is still there. Now it has become a routine, not only on the battlefield, but also in major events."

Cecil looked at the list again and muttered softly, "But we went at the same time..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing!"

Passing through the Might and Magic Gate was more ordinary than Cecil had imagined, with almost no feeling, just like passing through a thin layer of mist, the smell of green grass and earth smelled before passing through, and the moment it passed through, it turned into a slight floral fragrance.He raised his head and saw a garden slowly rotating in the sky. This is not the point, the point is that the garden is spherical.

That's right, a spherical shape, a large ball floating in the air, full of plant flowers, the plant flowers have exquisite shapes, stone paths and fountains are dotted among them, and there are gorgeous wooden pavilions, each pillar is carved with patterns .Some people are walking on the road, and some seem to be lovers sitting in the gazebo. Occasionally, birds and beasts come and go in the bushes and flowerbeds.

Suddenly, a large cluster of petals sprayed out from the fountain. Unlike the strange gravity of the sphere itself, these petals did not fall back on the sphere, but formed a shower of petals in the air, sprinkled towards the city, adding to the air. A floating dark fragrance.

"Dear Cecil, this is Algi, the capital of Tambunita." Langdon said, "This is a magical country."

Cecil took a blow.

He thought he would see some roads paved with small bread bricks, European-style wooden buildings, some strange towers, that's all, just like the fantasy on the earth.

The slowly rotating huge flower ball was enough to shock him. The flying objects composed of countless animals and carriages shuttled non-stop, and giant animals roared from time to time.Most of the main bodies that make up the urban buildings have more than three floors, all kinds of materials are available, and the colors are also very colorful. It seems that there is no standard.On the road, small metal puppets in the shape of trash cans are constantly patrolling, picking up trash in the trash cans, each of them is only the height of a calf but can swallow normal human-sized things, he leans over to take a look, there is only darkness inside the trash can nor.

The people coming and going wore all kinds of clothes. A majestic man wore an extremely exaggerated floor-length robe. The tail of the robe was like an actress’ evening dress, decorated with many shiny gems and pearls, and even some metals. Small round beads that jingle as they move.There is a woman with a pair of ostrich legs and a peacock-like skirt tail, which looks very elegant.

The city's ground is extremely clean and flat, with fine textures but strong friction, and the four-wheeled carriage runs extremely smoothly without any bumps.The vehicles coming and going include not only four-wheeled carriages, but also some skateboard-like things, which can move forward without power at all.There are more animal mounts of all kinds. When Cecil found out that someone was actually riding an octopus, it was really hard to look away.

"What kind of octopus is that?" Cecil bumped Langdon's shoulder. "In the sea?"

"Devil's Claw." Langdon glanced at it and said, "A land and sea mount requires a Warcraft Taming license."

"There is such a thing as a Warcraft Taming license?" Cecil said in surprise, "I thought magicians were self-sufficient, and they didn't care about anyone."

"If you're alone, that's true. Your needs for eating, drinking, and drinking are all met by magic. You can set up a magic tower in the wild and do whatever you want, and no one will interfere." Russell interjected, "But if you If you want to join a magic kingdom, you must abide by some rules, otherwise everyone will act recklessly, and the city will be in chaos? There is no reason to enjoy rights without restraint." He paused, "Oh, if you are strong enough, you can , some great magicians in history are really willful."

Langdon smiled: "Every situation in a magical country is different. Tabnita is already considered a relatively open country. As long as Might and Magic is applied for, it will generally allow connections. Some countries, such as Loschere, do not allow any private Might and Magic throughout the country. Connect it, if you dare to connect it, you dare to blow it up, no matter how many people die."

Cecil: "Then if someone is going to this country..."

"Go." Russell said.

Cecil: "..."

The Gay Knights booked a hotel for Cecil and his party. It is an inverted trapezoidal building with a small bottom and a large top. Fish jumped out of the water.

Cecil: "The devil..."

Russell: "Magic."

Cecil stood downstairs and stared blankly for a long time, re-realizing how powerful and widespread the magic of this world is, not only profound, but also pervasive to every corner of life.

This fucking even exceeds the level of the earth!

Cecil took a deep breath and forced himself to pull himself together.

This is magic, and it depends on people. When all people die, there will be nothing left!

The reception staff of the hotel were very warm and polite, and they publicized how lucky it was that the "World Magic Expo" was held in Algis, how wonderful the urban construction of Algis was, and how famous their hotel was.

"Dear gentlemen, you must try the pond on the roof. It is our latest relaxation item 'Sky Cool Bath', which can effectively massage the brain that has overused magic. Hot baths are no longer popular this season. The bath meets the sky, and with magic bread and wine, you've got a wonderful evening."

Cecil caught the keyword: "Are hot baths popular?"

"Of course, master, this winter is very popular, especially suitable for noble people like you." The receptionist was a young girl, her mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and her eyes were watery, "But this weather is no longer suitable. , the cold bath is just right, if you agree, I can accompany you personally."

The gays responded blankly, took the keys and left.

Cecil was very happy to successfully create a wave, but at the same time he was a little puzzled: "Why does the tanning work, but the hot bath doesn't."

"Who knows, don't talk about God's affairs." Langdon lowered his voice. "Especially don't discuss the God of Civilization here. Although it won't cause trouble, it's not a happy topic. Magicians always talk about it." Avoid the god of civilization."

Cecil said disdainfully: "No matter how taboo the God of Civilization exists, he has the ability to destroy the God of Civilization."

Langdon's smile was even brighter, and he grabbed Cecil's head with one hand. There was not much difference in height between them. It was still a bit of a struggle to do this, but he was already doing it smoothly.

"What did I say, dear Cecil?"

"I was wrong."

"very good."

Fifteen people, every two people have a room, and as the supreme leader Langdon has one room to himself, Cecil didn't know whether he was envious of the room or Langdon, let alone his roommate was O'Casey.When he sat on the bed well-behaved and stared at O'Casey in the next bed, he instantly realized that Langdon was the one he envied.

The "World Magic Expo" will open in three days. People from all over the world are coming through the Might and Magic Gate. The itinerary of the temple can be said to be very considerate, and Cecil has the opportunity to take a good look at the city.

The Hanging Garden "only" needs one magic coin to visit. Cecil looked up at the ground for a while but decided not to go.

"Are you really not going?" Langdon asked. "I can invite you."

"No." Cecil was a little annoyed unconsciously. This kind of impotent rage is really not a good sign, "It's boring."

Langdon laughed and wrapped his arms around Cecil's neck, which was not out of the ordinary, as long as they weren't kissing in the street, no one would care.

Cecil saw the automatic sprinkler that constantly sprayed water mist, visited the magic web center that controlled the routes of flying tools in the city, and ate taste-level magic food-this was the only thing that comforted him, because the taste was really mediocre, A street away, the virtual 3D tailoring shop made his emotions fall to the bottom again, especially after learning from Langdon that this thing can also be applied to the military.

It's all magic, it's all about people, and people will always die!

Cecil grabbed Langdon's hand seriously and asked, "These things need to be controlled by a magician, right? Can they still work if the magician is dead?"

"A certain number of years, it depends on what kind of magic it is." Langdon held Cecil's hand back, "However, large-scale magic is always more complicated, and magicians who are not geniuses generally can't reach that level, and geniuses are always rare. .”

On the first day of his arrival, Cecil spent so much time and again. On the second day, he was awakened by O'Casey's kiss. Although it was on the cheek, it was still horrifying. When he opened his eyes, he saw such a big face in front of him. , no matter how handsome he is, he can't stand such a trick!

"Uh... good morning?"

"Good morning." O'Casey said solemnly, "It seems that the translation magic has worked."

"Thanks." Cecil sat up, suddenly curious, he wanted to endure, but the death gene was flowing in his blood, and in the end, he obeyed the "call of blood", "Then what, O Casey, Are you not unaccustomed to the whole set of rules of the knight order? I mean, these kisses, kisses, you paladins must not do this."

O'Casey said calmly: "Rules are rules. If it is something everyone likes, then there is no need to make rules, because everyone will do it."

Cecil: "..."

Fuck, it makes sense!

"But the Gay Knights are different after all." Cecil said.

A good young man like me in the 21st century thinks that many regulations are too weird!

O'Casey's hand on the belt stopped, and then he said nonchalantly: "Existence is reasonable, and the Gay Knights have a long history, and since I agree with the gender I love, I naturally have to agree with it. ……matter."

Actually, you want to talk about trouble, right?You can say what you want, I won't tell the truth!

Cecil swallowed the words silently.

The hotel provided breakfast, and the super-unpalatable magic bread, so Cecil also decided that the hotel must not be high-end.The water is free to drink, but the method of getting water is very strange: press a toad sucked on the wall with its head down, and a large amount of water will be spit out from its mouth.

Cecil stood in front of the toad and watched others use it before he learned it. Just as he was about to pick it up, a figure in armor pushed him away. After taking the toad, Shi Shiran turned around and said with a sneer: "Has the gay knights run out of talents now? Send a country bumpkin like you who has never seen the world to participate in the expo."

When encountering this kind of thing, the first element is to find out the background of both the enemy and the enemy, so as not to become the cannon fodder of the protagonist.

Cecil looked at the person who came, and suddenly felt familiar, and thought about it carefully - since Langdon's deep kiss, his memory has indeed improved greatly, and he remembered everything about peeing and mud when he was a child - this Isn't that how O'Casey was dressed when he first arrived?

Cecil tentatively asked, "Paladin?"

"It's the Alliance of Holy Knights!" The visitor lowered his voice and said threateningly, "Boy, put your mind on it and remember what I look like, one day..."

"Charles, you shouldn't bully the weak." O'Casey's voice came, "You have lost your status as a paladin by doing so."

"A man like you who sleeps with a man is qualified as a paladin?!" The strong man named Charles reacted extremely fiercely and said angrily, "Arthur Young O'Casey! You are a disgrace to a paladin ! If it’s not that I can’t beat you, I will directly issue a challenge and take your life to wash away the shame of the Holy Knight Alliance!”

Cecil always felt that this provocation was full of flaws, and he couldn't say anything when he wanted to say something.

"This has nothing to do with me." O'Casey probably saw this kind of scene too often, "You should leave."

"Why should I leave!" Charles shouted, "Do you own this hotel?"

"...No." O'Casey seemed helpless, "I just want to protect you."

"Protect me?" Charles blushed, "What right do you have to say that!"

Cecil doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but eating melons is really irresistible.

"Yo - this is not O'Casey's former colleague." A cheap voice came, and Cecil could tell it was Russell without looking at the person, "Oh, what a strong man. !"

O'Casey sighed, and Charles' expression changed instantly.

Cecil suddenly understood why Langdon had said that meeting the paladins every year was a "good show."
