Early the next morning, Kiki carried a small suitcase and followed Barosh and Calvin on the carriage to other villages and towns. They were accompanied by a team of light knights and a young clerk who specialized in recording disasters. .

Keech didn't tell Hill that he was leaving, but when he set off, Hill still appeared in the see-off line.Kiki was stunned for a moment and then understood that the knight and the clerk were sent by Sirius, how could Hill, who has become Sirius' right-hand man, not know who will be involved in this from the Magic Association? trips.

Keeping his promise, Hill didn't go up to talk to Keech, but only looked at him from a distance, put his right hand on his left chest, and then clenched it into a fist.

Seeing this scene, Kiki suddenly began to regret why he had made such an agreement with Hill, and regretted even more that he promised Amir to leave the city of Yani.In this way, he would not be able to use the megaphone to talk to Hill in the future.If, as Barosh said, they might go directly to other provinces and counties or even return to Asshai, then the time between him and Hill would probably be far longer than a month.

But such thoughts stopped abruptly the moment he saw Li Qi.Li Qi was also in the see-off team, standing beside Joey, and the distance from Hill was not far away.Like a good sister seeing off her younger brother, she stood in the crowd, reluctantly waving a handkerchief to Kiki's position.

But Keech will never forget that after moving into the government affairs hall, Li Qi did not even have breakfast with him once; after he moved to the communication tower, she never visited him once; I haven't discussed with him whether I should find another place to live.

Now, she came to see him off.

Keech lowered his eyelids and got into the carriage without looking up.

Hilton on the other side was stunned for a moment. In the last moment, he could still feel Kiki's affection, and in the next moment, Kiki even gave him a look.

--what happened?

Hill subconsciously glanced around, and soon found Lizzy not far away.

She shouldn't be here, Hill was secretly annoyed, at least he didn't notify her.Obviously, it could only be Joey, who told her the news and brought her here.

As Hill was thinking about what to do with this self-assertive woman and his friend who was always being used, Lizzie had caught his gaze, or she had been waiting for his gaze, and smiled at him.

Hill bowed his head to Li Qi calmly, then turned his head and continued to focus on Keech's carriage.

—Perhaps, cold treatment is also a good method.

thought Hill.

On the afternoon of the second day after Keech and his party left, the airship of the Magic Association once again appeared in the sky above Yani City.

This time the airship came from the imperial capital Asshai, carrying important food seeds, more supplies, and more than a dozen magicians who will participate in post-disaster rescue and town reconstruction.

Of course Sirius had to bring A-Dong to greet him in person, and Hill and Joey also followed behind him.Today, the two of them are regarded as Sirius' right-hand man, his right-hand man, at least, on the surface, that is exactly what they seem to be.Hill is in charge of most of the government affairs around Sirius, and Joy is in charge of Sirius' armed forces, and the pen and the weapon complement each other.

Hill didn't let down his vigilance because of the seeming trust and reliance, but he couldn't make Joey be as cautious as him.Especially after the arrival of the Blue Dragon Legion, Joey, as the future commander of the Legion, became more confident. When he and Sirius had disagreements on certain matters, he also liked to speak out more and more, even often If you don't reach your goal, you will never give up.

Hill reminded Joey more than once to pay attention to his words and deeds, but Joey didn't take his words to heart at all, and complacently thought that Sirius liked his outspoken personality and needed him to speak the truth. The courtier of words.

Hill really wanted to throw Joey a pot of cold water, let him understand that the reason why Sirius indulged him was because he needed the Blue Dragon Army and the Grant family now, and when he no longer needed him, he was always available Destroy it - there is a real giant dragon by his side, and behind this giant dragon is a dragon clan that the entire blue dragon army cannot match!

But such a thing, Hill can only think about it.Just as it is impossible for Joey to accept all his suggestions, it is impossible for him to confess everything to Joey.Although they are friends, they are also nobles. When interests and friendship go against each other, none of them will make a wrong choice.

——I hope that Emperor De Rossi will have a long life, so that Sirius will need you for a longer period of time.

Hill silently prayed for Joey.

However, he forgot again that he is an atheist who doesn't even have a prayer object.

Just when Hill was distracted, the huge airship had slowly landed, and Amir, as the host of the Magic Association in Yani City, took the lead to greet it, but the first person to get off the airship was not a black-robed man. A magician, but a blue-robed female magician who was not on the passenger list at all——Christina Canaan.

Seeing Tina's appearance, Hilton was overjoyed, and even the worries caused by Kiki's departure were swept away.

But Amir's reaction was far less joyful than Hill's. He looked at Tina's figure in surprise, and only when Tina walked in front of him did he put on a smile and ask in feigned surprise: "How did you come?"

"It's too much for you guys to keep it from me when such a big thing happened!" Tina said angrily, "Where's Kitty?"

"He accompanied Barosh and the others to check the epidemic situation in the surrounding towns. Maybe you also know that many people died this time." Amir replied with a sigh.

"I know, that's why I came here and tried my best." Tina put away her smile and said seriously.

While the two were talking, other magicians also got off the airship.To Amir's surprise, there were no great magicians among them. The highest-level magicians were only two high-level magicians who wore purple robes like him, and the rest were all low-level magicians below the intermediate level.

"I thought there would be at least one of the Great Mage of Everton or the Great Mage of Summerhail." Amir asked with raised eyebrows.

"Dean Everton has led another group of magicians to Agran County. As for Summerhale... he is busy with a magic research and cannot get away." Tina shrugged sarcastically, and immediately returned He smiled mischievously, "Actually, that's fine too. They, including me, will all be at your disposal, Your Excellency the quasi-magician Amir."

"I can't afford to be your lord." Amir smiled slightly, and led Tina and the other magicians to Seres, who was already waiting aside, and introduced them to each other.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Sirius, Tina turned her gaze to Hill behind him, opened her arms, and gave him a big hug, "Long time no see, Hill, you've grown taller again, and you've become a big Really handsome guy!"

"It's a great honor to be praised by a beauty like you." Hill smiled and kissed Tina on the cheek, showing their familiarity and intimacy to the people around him, and then smiled apologetically at Amir, "Hopefully" he doesn't think his actions are too overreaching.

After reminiscing about the old days, Hill introduced other people around him to Tina, including his most powerful assistant, Sandora.

Since coming to Yani City, Sandora has shared a lot of Hill's work, especially in dealing with and communicating with the nobles, Sandora has given Hill a lot of help.She used her paternal surname that can be accepted in any social occasion, and her matrilineal origin that would not be envied by other ladies, to go in and out of many aristocratic families in Yani City, mingle with the noble ladies among them, and use their surplus With sympathy and a never-fading desire to compare, he raised donations for the civilians in Yani in the name of charity, and achieved great results.

The moment she saw Tina, Sandora opened her mouth wide in surprise. When Hill introduced her to Tina, she quickly recovered and curtsied to Tina.

Tina didn't pay much attention to such a young noble lady, she quickly ended the greetings she neither liked nor cared about, and discussed with Amir about the accommodation.The rooms in the Contact Tower are limited, and few are suitable for living. Therefore, before they arrived, Amir and Sirius agreed that some magicians would enter the Governor's Mansion for a temporary stay.

Now, what needs to be discussed is who will live in the governor's mansion and who will move into the communication tower.

Such a choice did not take too much time. Except for two magicians who were determined not to live with ordinary people, everyone else chose the Governor's Mansion with better conditions.Although Tina also wanted to live in the mage's tower with Amir, she finally went to the Governor's Mansion under Amir's lobbying so that she could help Hill and the others more quickly and accurately.

When the magicians headed for the governor's mansion began to board the carriage one after another, Amir discovered that Tina not only ran over by herself, but also brought Avella with her, and this was the real reason why she got off the boat empty-handed. The reason—all the luggage is with Avella.

Hill did not return to the Governor's Mansion with the magicians, but stayed in the square to continue processing the food and grain seeds that were transported with the magicians.

At this time, Shuori Square is no longer a place where ordinary civilians can enter at will. Since Sirius also began to distribute free food to the residents of the city, the church has been prohibited from distributing food in Shuori Square.Of course, in exchange, Sirius allowed them to continue to provide medical assistance to residents in the city and victims of disasters outside the city, and they could also set up food distribution points in places other than Shuori Square, but it was the same as the distribution points opened by the royal government. There must be soldiers around to maintain order and monitor and supervise.

The people working in Shuori Square were no longer ordinary civilians, but replaced by reliable servants provided by nobles. They knew how to work far better than ordinary civilians recruited, and they were good at keeping secrets and obeying orders.

Hill was watching these servants carrying food down from the airship. Sandora, who also did not leave, walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "That female magician named Tina... how old is she?"

"It's impolite to inquire about a lady's age, Miss Sandra." Hill glanced at her suspiciously.

"Just curious, just curious." Sandora smiled awkwardly, "She...should be more than 20 years old, right?"

"She's probably 27, or 28, if I remember correctly," Hill replied.

"Then she's bigger than I thought!" Sandra blinked, and asked with pretended doubts, "She's already... so old, why doesn't she marry Amir the magician? She's his Fiancee, right?"

"She is a magician, Miss Sandora, and she is an outstanding middle-level magician. You can't measure them with the thinking of ordinary people." Hill replied helplessly, "Most magicians are immortal Married or not, in their circle, people like Magician Tina who are willing to enter the marriage hall are quite different."

"Why? Could marriage affect their use of magic?" Sandra asked.

"In a way, the family does affect their concentration on magic - as far as I know, every magician spends a lot of time alone and meditating every day, and for most wives, this Things are even more unforgivable than cheating, they will never tolerate it, let alone let it continue-do you know what I mean?"

"Of course." Sandora sighed, "My mother is a good example. She always wants to see her father by her side all the time. Once he is out of her sight, she will be hysterical, as if the sky is about to fall. Same."

"Yes, marriage has advantages and disadvantages for us, but for magicians, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages." Hill nodded, and then changed his voice, "However, I am also curious, Sandra Miss, what made you curious about the magician's marriage? I heard that you have a close relationship with that Calvin magician."

"It's over, at least, he obviously doesn't want to marry me." Sandra didn't hide from Hill, and she laughed at herself bluntly, "It was good at first, he even invited me to the magician's stone tower He is a guest here, but...as soon as I mentioned the matter of marriage, he immediately changed his attitude. When he left Yani City yesterday, he didn't even say goodbye to me."

"You are too impatient, Sandra." Hill couldn't help laughing, "Let's not say that you are only 16 years old, even if you are 36 years old, you shouldn't mention marriage in just a few days, in that case, Not just magicians, any man will be scared away by you."

"It seems that it is not easy to find a husband by yourself." Sandora sighed heavily again.

"Nothing will be easy, be patient." Hill smiled, "And, why do you have to choose a magician? From my point of view, they are not ideal candidates for a husband. Marrying them, you I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared to be alone in the empty boudoir."

"That's not bad, at least, I can have enough time to do what I want, isn't it?" Sandora shrugged, "And, given my background, what better choice can I have? ? A libertine with no future, a rich widower, or a commoner like my grandfather? Believe me, Mr. Balotelli, marrying a magician is already the best result for me."

"Don't rush to give up on yourself, Sandra, you are still young, we are all young - remember this, because it means infinite possibilities, which is more important than anything else." Hill said seriously, " Also, just call me Hill."
