The fragrance of mead permeates the air, and the laughter of toasting and drinking is endless. Wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress, Mi Lai walks through the crowd with a smile. In line with the gentleness and good upbringing of the "Ms. Corinna" personality.

The longing gaze always follows Mi Lai, sometimes staying on her half-exposed calf, and sometimes sweeping across her breasts recklessly, and when Mi Lai casts her gaze back, these glamorous people are full of people. However, he changed into a gentle and harmless appearance, as if the inadvertent hunger and thirst were just the aftertaste of alcohol.

After the port city-state of Wupu City was occupied by Tania's Green Shade Territory, it was always managed by the original lord. Until recently, Tania sent a consul from the Green Shade Land to take over part of the power, and she herself He also finally left the Green Shade Base Camp and went to Wupu City to preside over today's banquet.

Having said that, after thirty years of drinking, except for a few people who were deeply puzzled by Tania's invitation, everyone else was already slightly drunk, and she only showed up at the beginning of the banquet to signal that everyone had a good time. gone.

"Is it just to show the sense of existence and win over some people's hearts, and there is no real purpose?"

Mi Lai took a sip of honey wine, and with the excuse of being overwhelmed with alcohol, he fended off a few noble children who usually chased him, and planned to leave this boring banquet.

"Hello, Ms. Corinna, Your Majesty Tania is welcome."

A waiter leaned over when Mi Lai picked up a melon and said in a low voice.

The invitation alone made Mi Lai vigilant, but his face remained the same.

She smiled and followed the waiter through the hall and the atrium. By the pool in the backyard, Tania sat at a square table full of fruits and refreshments and looked at a scroll, while Chi Hong was holding the end of the scroll, slowly Expand it.

Many unfamiliar faces that Mi Lai couldn't recognize were in charge of Tania's guard work, and the mere presence or absence of stirring magic power was enough to prove that they were all high-level.

"Is this the stray cat or dog that Master Lulu said it picked up?" Mi Lai thought.

While thinking, Mi Lai bent down, introduced himself with impeccable etiquette, and offered his best wishes to Tanya.

Tanya with a smile asked someone to replace the fruit on the table, and a honeydew melon fruit plate was placed on the table.

"I heard from the waiter that my sudden summons made you have to give up the honeydew melon you just ate. It's okay, it's also available here, please use it."

As she said that, Tanya started her own hands and brought the fruit plate closer.

If you don't know Tania herself, the affinity she expresses in her speech, actions, and etiquette is irresistible.

"Your Majesty Tanya, I'm more eager to know the purpose of your invitation to a banquet tonight than honeydew. I think... I'm not the only one who is lucky enough to have a close conversation with you."

Tanya waved her hand to make Chi Hong put away the scroll. After hearing Mi Lai's words, the corners of her mouth raised and she took a sip of tea before opening her mouth slowly.

"It's really not, but before the formal conversation, I have a question that I hope Ms. Corinna can answer."

The teacup was gently placed on the coaster, making a crisp sound.

"Ms. Corinna is a high-level magician, isn't she?"

The guards behind Mi Lai surged with magic power, as if thousands of soldiers were attacking them.

Mi Lai was calm and breezy, without changing her expression, she casually picked up a piece of honeydew melon and put it into her mouth, and said frankly: "That's true."

No matter how well it is hidden, there will always be traces to follow in front of experienced high-level magicians. Instead of lying to deepen Tanya's misunderstanding, it is better to take advantage of the situation and come out.

"It's rare to see such a young high-level magician." Tanya crossed her fingers, resting her chin, and looked up and down Mi Lai.

"Isn't that common? There are quite a few high-level magicians around Her Majesty Tanya who are from mediocre backgrounds and can even be said to have climbed here from poverty. Compared with them, they have a wealthy family background and sail around with their parents. I was so mediocre in my studies."

The guards in the distance knelt down on one knee, watching Tanya with fanaticism in their eyes.

A smile appeared on Tanya's serious and earnest face again. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Ms. Corinna seems to be a bit self-effacing. I also provided them with favorable conditions. This road is not just a matter of resources. Pile up, you and I both know."

After a moment of silence, Tania said: "The reason why Ms. Corinna no longer sails is that her parents and sisters were killed in shipwreck, right... I am sorry for this question, but when it comes to the topic we will discuss next, I It has to be."

Mi Lai's acting skills exploded, and the brewing pain was fleeting on her face. She let go in a casual tone: "It's been a long time, it doesn't matter, now I'm just an ordinary person eager to enjoy."

"I don't know, do you intend to return to the old business, or is it a risk?"

Coming, Millais quickly realizes, this is what Tania is for.

A scroll was presented in front of Mi Lai. It was a plan, which recorded the trade routes being planned by the Green Shade Territory, except for the short-term trade route from Molten Mountains to Port De Maurice, which had already been opened, but the number of people was obviously insufficient. There are also many long-distance commercial routes that run through the continent of Mera.

With the green shade collar as the core, the commercial roads radiate from east to west to north and south, extending into the sea, crossing the vast sea, and spreading across the surrounding continents.

Mi Lai was shocked. She realized that Tanya was able to show herself the plan so easily, which meant that she didn't think it was a secret, but an ambition that could be made public.

What exactly is Tania trying to do?

If she builds her Green Shade Territory into a chamber of commerce consortium system similar to that of Kelai Continent, won't her authority as His Majesty be infinitely diluted, and eventually be divided and eaten by profit-seeking businessmen?

"His Majesty's plan is shocking."

"Is this shocking?" Tanya smiled. "Just adding to Mera's existing business system shocked everyone, and I was also surprised."

"I can still understand the standard commerce, but in the blueprint drawn by His Majesty, there are several routes pointing to unnamed sea areas beyond the known sea routes..."

Tanya took a sip of tea to moisten her throat: "I am sponsoring the adventurous sea knights to challenge the boundless sea and cut through the wind and waves to find a new continent."

"New continent?" Mi Lai became more and more confused.

"Have you ever heard that there is an ancient empire and strange monsters in the unknown direction of the vast, distant sea of ​​tranquility?"

...

...

"Strange demon, what is that?"

Hearing Mi Lai's regular report, Lu Yu was full of question marks: "Is it a special kind of monster? It doesn't sound like a good thing."

Sera, who was knocked out of the room by Lulu, touched her chin, lost in thought.

Lulu explained to Lu Yu: "The so-called strange monster is not a kind of monster, but a very special magician. The magic power of a different magician can restrain ordinary magic power. You can understand it as the magic-breaking material that walks on its own."

Meera's first account of strange demons comes from Solon in the middle of the glorious age. Some sea merchants rescued a group of shipwrecked and dying magicians at sea. "

These magicians claimed to have encountered unprecedented huge waves during the voyage. Even though they tried their best to prevent the ship from being smashed with magic power, they had already fallen into a huge vortex. Compared with the vortex, their huge ships were like A leaf boat.

Wanting to escape by floating, he found that the magic power in the entire sea area was scarce, and he could not fly away from the vortex area at all. The magician, who realized that struggling was useless, gave up completely and was dragged into the bottom of the sea by the vortex in despair.

When they woke up, there were less than one-tenth of the survivors, but they found that the surrounding magic power was filled again, and only then did they have the strength to call for help from the passing sea ships.

Serra said: "Their language is completely different from the surrounding language family that Meera knows. No one knows what they are talking about. For a long time after they were sent to Solon for treatment, communication was extremely difficult."

"Also among this group of people, there are two strange magicians. The magic power released by them can suppress the normal magic power and interfere to a certain extent, but they cannot transform the 'different magic' into the form of magic to attack."

Lulu recalled: "At that time, the Solon royal family had established initial trust and asked about the power of strange magic after being able to communicate, but was rejected by the different magician. It was still a glorious era, and the Solon royal family was also a benevolent The monarchy, therefore, did not do anything out of the ordinary, and even allowed them to leave after their injuries."

The records about the strange demons come to an abrupt end here, and no one knows the whereabouts of the two different magicians, but most guesses are that they went to sea again after receiving the assistance of the Solon royal family, trying to return home.

In the relevant classics, we can still see people's discussions about strange demons during that period, among which there are many members of the Mage Tower, who are interested in the "power of interference".

If you want to interfere with the magic power in a large area, the simplest and rude way is to turn yourself into a huge container like Huogu, suck up the entire area, and create a temporary magic vacuum.

It is more convenient to use magic-breaking materials to build a magic-breaking circle, and invite you into the urn, just like the crisis encountered by the evil beast earl Lu Yu.

But their discussions were buried in the long river of history along with the disappearance of the different magicians. Although there are many adventurous people who challenged the dangerous and unknown route, and indeed explored many new islands and continents, but Neither fit the description of a different magician.

Hearing this, Lu Yu already knew why he couldn't find it. He glanced at Lulu and found that she was also secretly looking at him.

"A giant teleportation circle, and it's natural." The two said in unison.

Such a magic circle is a masterpiece of nature, a masterpiece formed by chance and coincidence.

Some trigger conditions are very clear, Silent Mountain only needs enough mana to complete a teleportation, while others are extremely cumbersome.

In Vanessa's travel notes, it is recorded that a group of low-intelligence slimes have a giant teleportation circle in their lair. The slime king bred here vaguely knows that this is a strange "depression" that can attract magic power, so it occupies here.

Out of curiosity, King Slime simply and rudely poured magic power into the magic circle, but what returned to them was an elemental storm, causing heavy casualties to the clansmen. Even he himself survived by actively splitting and escaping.

Vanessa only saw the tiankeng filled with water at the scene, and she could vaguely see the remnants of the natural magic circle when diving into the bottom, and the rest had been reduced to ashes.

Vanessa speculates that the natural teleportation circle here needs other conditions to be triggered, and King Slime, who has a low IQ, keeps pouring the essence of elements into it, which eventually leads to a storm of elements. When this family is not collapsed by the magic circle, The leaked force tore it to shreds was already an explosion of luck.

The huge vortex that can confine magic power started to operate the natural teleportation circle accidentally. The two different magicians were not at the other end of the channel where the sea merchants rescued them, but the coordinates of the teleportation circle were randomly placed there. .

Lulu paced the room in confusion: "It's not right...I always feel that something is wrong."

"I can understand that she wants to open up trade routes. Whether it's Mera's or the surrounding continents, these are all profitable. She always does things like this. She will only act when the gain outweighs the loss. Funding adventurers is a pure act of giving. , her current reputation is enough to attract talents, there is absolutely no need to do more."

"Besides, are strange demons something worth worrying about for her now? Even if Zenier has shown victorious victories over Divic's army one after another, she can be distracted, but the search process is very likely to take five years. Ten years, or even decades as a unit, with the current turbulent magic tide, her own future is full of uncertainties, would someone like her worry about this?"

"It doesn't fit her personality and style of doing things. I can understand Tania's arrangement of trade routes, but I can't understand how she found out the 'strange demon' hundreds of years ago, and then advertised it. I'm going to Look for it."

"If she desires to gain this power, she should let her loyal cronies act instead of looking for businessmen who can't keep secrets. What good is it for her to make this known?"

Lu Yu and Sera believed in Lulu's judgment 100%. The two who were lost in thought suddenly raised their heads, looked at each other, and murmured.

"She didn't really want to find that ancient country..."

Lulu also came to her senses, she raised her head and looked at the two people who were looking at each other, suppressed the little awkwardness in her heart, and participated in the topic.

"Her purpose is to use this incident to remind some people..."

"Then who is the person she wants to remind?" Lulu was stunned, "Could it be a strange monster... But are there any strange monsters in Mela Continent?"

...

...

Among the majestic mountains, a group of people in purple robes gathered in the cave.

The news from the banquet in Wupu City came to their ears like the wind.

"It seems... our actions have been discovered by someone with a heart?"

"Who is that?"

"Your Majesty, a princess who has a separate regime, she seems to be warning us not to pollute her territory again."
