It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the night that the light of the mirror tower gradually faded. The Lord's Mansion of Dover is located at the junction of Baicheng District and College District. On one side is the bustling scene and on the other side is the fragrance of literature and calligraphy. After a thousand years of development and construction, today¡¯s Seran Island is undoubtedly a piece of pure land on the sea. However, the "Mirror Princess" walking in the garden, Mrs. Desires, one of the six mage lords, had a hint of worry on her face. She is said to be "Madam", but Desires is not married. She studied under the mage leader of Serland Island, "Arcane Hand" Keltzman, and was promoted to the Seventh Ring Archmage at a young age. On the mainland, it would be stunning. What's more, if Master Seran wants to be promoted, in addition to hard power as the basis, he also needs to pass a series of tedious examinations. They are called "academics", which is not just talk. Mrs. Desireis is only thirty-three years old this year. Her black hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing a silver-grey robe. She had an elegant manner and a noble temperament. But to be able to hold the position of lord, her skills are naturally outstanding. "The envoy has already set off and should be able to catch up with the spring meeting in March," the slender female official arrived and bowed to report, "Following Madam's instructions, Lord Morente will accompany him to escort him." "Although he is Six-ring wind technique, but if you encounter a big shot of seven or even eight rings, it may be difficult to escape," Desires sighed softly, "I don't know how much they are still afraid of the teacher." "If it's Kerr. Lord Ziman speaks, who among Seran and his superiors dares to disobey?" The female officer said with an incomprehensible expression, but this nominal speaker has not participated in any discussion of the Nine Rings Council for many years. In recent years, he has stayed in the gray tower without going out, often meditating. It will last for two or three months. "Teacher, you can't speak." Desires shook her head. She was still willing to reveal some secrets to this loyal female officer. "Once he takes a stand, the apparent balance will be broken. If the two factions are at odds with each other, If he loses his face, Seran will definitely be severely damaged, and it may even turn into a protracted civil war. "But, we have a gray tower," the female officer asked in confusion. The Gray Tower, one of the nine highest towers, controls the source of arcane magic and is enough to suppress the voices of any opponents. "The victory is also a tragic victory. Thousands of years of accumulation on Seran Island cannot be destroyed," Desires rolled up her sleeves. Picking off a petal, "As for the Gray Tower" She hesitated for a while, but still did not continue. Regarding the core secrets of the Magic Network, the fewer people know about it, the better. "Madam, the Lord of the City wants to see you." At this moment, the maid in pink came running over. "It's so late, no see!" Desires's fair face showed an obvious look of displeasure. She frowned and came up with an excuse. "Just say I fell asleep." "The Lord of the City said," the second maid in blue panted, "He saw the light of the mirror tower and knew that Madam, you are not asleep yet." Desires He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't speak yet. The third maid in green clothes ran over in a panic, "Madam, the Lord of the City has barged in." The "Mirror Princess" with her extraordinary temperament finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stretched out a jade finger. Pointing to the door of the garden, he chanted softly, "Mirror Maze." ****** "How are you, have you eaten enough today?" Allegri asked warmly, sitting on the edge of the bed. The big dog rushed over and shook his head aggrievedly. Zenis didn't take it seriously at all. After eating and drinking and picking his teeth, he remembered this pitiful big dog. The old man was still reluctant to spend money, so he went to the stable to bring half a basin of fodder and tried to get rid of it. "Tomorrow, I will take you to eat meat." Allegri promised. It is said that there is me in you and you in me. The lives of one person and one dog have long been connected together. The big dog barked, seeming to express satisfaction. But after all, it was eleven or twelve o'clock in the night. Not long after, there was an angry shout from the other side, "Shut up, I won't let anyone sleep." Hearing the voice of Beverly, Allegri asked Xin Tomoe stuck out his tongue. It was unusual for Nightingale to go to bed at this hour. She probably didn't go to work tonight. Maybe she was also touched. Allegri thought so, took off his coat and prepared to go to bed to rest. But at the moment when the candles were blown out, there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the corridor outside. Getting closer and closer, finally stopping in front of his door. Allegri felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the oak stick standing beside the bed. But he couldn't remember anyone he had offended. Could it be that Aubrey was so fast that something happened in the afternoon and someone came to the door in the evening? Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door. He was being sentimental. This person was looking for Beverly. Allegri breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal Simbamo to scream. He hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he just listened. There was a heavy breathing sound, and the person who came seemed to be a drunkard. Then, the door creaked open, and Beverly's impatient voice sounded, "Who is it?" "You slut, have you even forgotten me?" the man cursed. asked, "Why are you not doing business today?" "I don't want to do it." Beverly replied coldly, wanting to close the door. "Hey, a bastard, you still know how to show off your face?" the man cursed. He kicked open the wooden door and followed in. "Get out!" Beverly raised her voice. She stretched out her hand to push, but she couldn't push it. "**!" The strong man locked her hands and pressed her on the bed. With a sneer, the woman's pajamas were torn open, revealing large areas of white and tender skin. The man was full of filthy words, and he wanted to be the overlord. Beverly couldn't resist, and there was a cry in her voice. Allegri, who was two layers of thin boards away, sighed secretly and picked up the stick. This is what is called "involuntarily". ? ****** ¡°Let her go!¡± Allegri pushed the door open and shouted. Simba followed beside him, barking equally ferociously. "What the hell are you doing?" The burly man dressed as an adventurer turned his head, his face full of displeasure. "Let her go." Allegri repeated. He had no relevant experience, so he seemed a little cautious. If he was a skilled person, he would have rushed forward by now and struck first. "Fuck!" the big man spat. He stuffed the thing back into his crotch, fastened his belt, and pulled out a short knife from his boot. "Are you this bitch's mistress?" He stood up. He was tall and taller than Allegri. "If you don't get out, I will castrate you." "It's you who should get out." Allegri said. Li said in a deep voice that although Beverly's room was larger than his, it was only a few dozen square meters. There were only five or six steps between the two of them, and he could clearly see the other's rough face and the hideous scar on his left eyebrow. "Looking for death." The big man rushed over and slashed diagonally with his short knife. Amid Beverly¡¯s screams, Allegri sidestepped and used the move Zenis taught him, smashing the wooden stick horizontally. He hit the opponent's waist hard. The big man felt pain, roared violently, and finally looked at his opponent. He took a step back, moved his joints, and a pair of arm guards actually lit up with a light cyan luster. Enchanted protective gear? Allegor's expression tightened. He did not expect the enchanted items on Seran Island. It is so widely used that prostitutes are looking for pleasure in taverns. You can equip a pair. With the blessing of wind magic, when the big man wields his sword, he has both speed and power. Fortunately, Allegri had practiced martial arts for a period of time and was able to withstand it. And as time goes by, his moves become more and more proficient, which is the value of actual combat training. Just when the two were fighting. The tavern guard finally got wind of the situation and arrived. The waiter Lu Ben, who was running at the front, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Who dares to make trouble in the Bronze Compass? Stop it!" Don't look at his effeminate manner, but what he said is really effective. Allegri's wooden stick wave. Avoid each other and retreat into the corridor. The big man also hesitated to stop and just glanced at Allegri viciously. Lu Ben came over with his guards, separated the two of them first, and then went to ask Beverly directly. She wrapped herself in a quilt, her expression gloomy, as if she had finally recognized the reality. This is fate, a fate that cannot be avoided no matter what. As long as you choose this profession, you will be despised. As long as you pay for this body of skin, you can use it as you like. "Hank, you are also a regular customer of the tavern. If the lady is not at work, you will find someone else. Why are you chasing me here?" Lu Ben recognized the big man's identity and his expression softened a bit. Hank snorted, put away his dagger, pushed past the guards and left. Luben turned to Allegri and was about to chatter a few words when Zenis slowly swayed up and greeted, "Ego." "Lao Dao is looking for you, go ahead," Luben waved his hand, "Remember "Come on, don't meddle in your own business from now on." Allegri glanced at Beverly with concern, and when he saw that she just huddled on the bed and didn't speak, he shook his head helplessly. He put the oak stick back into the room, ordered the big dog to guard the house, and then followed Zenis down the stairs. "Why, you haven't learned even 10% of my martial arts skills, and you are so anxious to be a hero and save the beauty?" The old man put his hands behind his back and stabbed me lightly. "What kind of hero am I? Beverly is not a beauty either," Allegri scratched his head, "But it's just a few steps away. I can't just sit back and ignore it, right?" "If you want to live longer, , just sit back and ignore it,¡± ZeNiss taught in a deep voice, "I have been at Copper Compass for fifteen years, and the ladies have changed one after another. Are they really forced to have no choice? The poor boy on the beach can still survive by picking up shells, and the orphan girl on the dock Annie, go to the fish market to set up a stall before dawn and still make a living Aren't they unable to bear the hardship, so they are willing to degenerate and choose to make money by spreading their legs? " Allegri sighed, pitiful? There must be something hateful about this person, and he doesn't know it. "I would like to advise you, don't make friends with them. If you can give up your self-esteem for money, what's the point of friendship?" Zenis stared at him with one eye, "Besides, you don't have that ability now." " I understand, teacher." Allegri nodded. "If you drive away one today, there will definitely be a second and third one in the future," the old man continued, "How do you know how many times she has been sold in these years?" Although this sentence is a bit harsh, but It was also true, Allegri was speechless. "That Hank is a gangster and has some influence in the dock area," Zenis thought for a moment and then reminded, "Be careful when you go out these days." "I will, teacher. ." Allegri noted secretly. "Also, if you are willing to live in the hay room next to the stable, I will have someone help you free it." The old man thought for a moment and then said calmly, "You should practice your sword well and don't delay it for this." Li nodded silently. ? ****** After talking with Zenis, Allegri stood by the well in the backyard, picked up a bucket of cold water, and washed his face. During the fight, he received several cuts on his body, but they were very shallow. With the "Bright Godhead" there, they should be able to heal when he gets up tomorrow. After dealing with it casually, he walked back to the room. Beverly's door was still open, and the dim light poured out tremblingly. Before Allegri opened the door, he glanced subconsciously and saw Beverly still maintaining her original posture, dazed. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked in, moved a chair and sat beside the bed. "Are you okay?" he asked. Beverly shook her head and said nothing. "Has this kind of thing happened before?" Allegri doesn't know how to chat, which shows. Beverly nodded, but still didn't speak. "Don't do it, something will always happen in this kind of business." Allegri advised. After he asked that question, he knew that he was stupid. Perhaps it was because of today's experience that she resisted like never before. Otherwise, what's the difference between downstairs and upstairs? ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t have any money to give to Ranaya.¡± Beverly murmured. "As long as you are still alive, as long as you still want to live, you will not starve to death." Seeing her still saying this, Allegri was also a little annoyed. "If you work hard in the workshop, even if you are bullied, you can be justified." Resist, instead of being regarded as a tool to vent one's desires like now." His words were a bit harsh. Beverly was hurt, and she reacted angrily, "Why are you teaching me a lesson?" As a friend," Allegri said sternly, "If you find it unpleasant, you can just muddle along and continue this life But do you think Ranaya is willing to use the money she earns to practice magic? " Beverly collapsed on the bed and covered her face with the quilt. "You move out first and I can lend you some money before you find a new job," Allegri said softly. "Whether it is laundry and cooking, a weaving workshop, or a small business, as long as you look for it, you will always be able to find a new job." There is a way." After saying that, Allegri put the somewhat shriveled purse on the bed, pushed the door open, and went back to his room, ready to rest. After a while, Beverly got out of bed, closed the door with bare feet, and then put the scissors hidden under her back into the drawer. ¡(To be continued¡)
