Chapter 131 It’s a Long Story

In 987 AD, five years ago, the Principality of Mar welcomed its first queen, Skadi.

She was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and later married the crown prince of the Principality and became a princess.

Not long after the marriage, the frail crown prince died. Skadi relied on her vigorous execution and political means of combining firmness and flexibility to quickly win over a group of nobles who supported her and successfully inherited the throne.

However, the forces within the Principality were very complicated, and Skadi only really got the power of ruling for about two years.

It was during these two years that she managed the capital, Hutton, as solid as a rock.

The location of the Principality of Mar is extremely special. There are the Bantu tribe and Xuzu in the north, the Dark City in the south, and the Des Empire in the east. It is also the most fertile land on the continent.

Although surviving in the cracks, the several heirs of the Principality are all good at getting along with both sides, especially Casti in power, who signed defense treaties with Xuzu and Dark City successively, which made the Principality of Mar truly peaceful for a period of time.

The walls around Hutton are a hundred feet high, piercing the clouds. There are four gates on each side of the city, all heavily guarded.

"Oh my god, how high is this wall?" Duan Zixuan looked up.

"Yes! It's so high, I can't imagine how much manpower and material resources it takes to build it!" Ye Shengge sighed.

"There is an elf magician's guild in the city, and they can use magic to help build it!" Alia whispered.

"Are the elves in the Dawn Forest different from the elves in the Great Magician's Guild?" Chen Ping looked at Alia.

"As far as I know, there are at least ten elves of different races. The elves in the Great Magician's Guild are basically from the light elves in the east of the continent, while the elves in the south of the continent are the dark elves. There is a dark city there, which is the power of the dark elves."

"In addition, the strongest is the ice elves in the north, and our forest elves are the weakest!" Alia introduced in detail.

"It turns out that there are so many elves in this world!" Chen Ping nodded.

When they walked to the city gate, a dozen soldiers from the Principality stopped them.

Alia explained to the soldier the reason given by Barn and took out the pass. Besides, Kher was indeed seriously ill. Alia did not lie.

"What about these alien races?" the soldier asked coldly.

"They are the warriors who protect us!" Alia said hurriedly.

The soldier frowned and glanced at Chen Ping and others.

Chen Ping understood and hurried forward, taking out a string of jewelry distressedly.

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. We are really looking for President Sharan. Miss Kher of the Elf Clan is very ill and can't be delayed any longer!" Chen Ping stuffed the jewelry into the soldier's hand without leaving any trace.

Behind him, Kher also coughed lightly a few times.

The soldier glanced at the people around him, secretly checked the jewelry in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I remember, you seemed to have been here not long ago."

"Yes, that's right. I met you on duty last time. It's fate. We are here this time... for a checkup!" Chen Ping said with a smile.

The soldier nodded and made a mark on the pass. This pass has only one chance to be used. After the next use, you need to apply for a new pass from the Principality.

After entering the city smoothly, everyone seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden.

Even Alia was a little overwhelmed. This was her first time in Hutton City.

"According to the map, the Great Magician Guild is on Street 13 in the North City!"

Chen Ping glanced at the map, asked passers-by, and after confirming the location, he immediately led everyone there.

Hutton City is very large, even much larger than the prefecture-level cities in Blue Star Dragon Country.

Before dark, Chen Ping and others arrived in front of the Great Magician Guild.

The building of the Magician's Guild is very similar to the style of the European church on Blue Star. Chen Ping did not look at it carefully and entered the guild with everyone.

There are not many people in such a large guild, to be precise, there are not many elves.

"Sister Shalan! Do you still remember me?" Alia saw Shalan who was flipping through ancient books at a glance.

"Alia? Why are you here?" Shalan was slightly stunned, and then recognized Alia's identity.

"This matter is a long story..."

Alia's speech was indeed very long, starting from the fire in the Dawn Forest five years ago, and it lasted for two hours. Duan Zixuan, who was standing behind Chen Ping, even snored.

"Who? Brother Shan, why are you pinching me?" Duan Zixuan shuddered.

"You are really amazing. You can fall asleep while standing!" Li Shan glanced at Duan Zixuan.

"Uh... I didn't rest well last night." Duan Zixuan replied awkwardly.

"Forget about sleeping, the snoring is so loud, I'm really afraid that Alia can't help it and will come over to give you two big fights!"

"This... I can't control it either, I won't sleep anymore!" Duan Zixuan pinched himself hard to keep himself awake.

But Alia's story was too hypnotic.

"Oh, you are the warrior that Alia said?" Sharan suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Ping.

"Master, I called you!" Xiao Hei bit Chen Ping's neck.

"Ah! Yes, yes!" Chen Ping woke up suddenly.

"The big magic circle in the sky has always been managed by our magician union. We will take the airship regularly to check it!"

"Not long ago, we just checked the big magic circle and there was no problem!"

"It's getting late. I'll arrange for you to rest first. Tomorrow, I'll send a few elves to guide you. Have a good time in Hutton, and then you can return to the Dawn Forest!" Sharan looked extremely cold.

"Sister Sharan..."

Alia wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Sharan: "By the way, you just said that a few friends were injured. Take them and go to see the wizard of the union with me. It happens that the wizard has time. As for other things, don't mention it again!"

"But..."

Alia's words were interrupted again. This time it was Chen Ping who interrupted her.

Chen Ping pulled Alia's fair and tender arm, then shook his head. Seeing this, Alia sighed.

Then, Xue Na carried Xiaobai on her back, took Su Xixi, and the brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Xin who supported each other, and followed Sharan away.

"You're not going?" Chen Ping turned his head and looked at Duan Zixuan. After all, he was embedded in the wall by Catherine and was also seriously injured.

"It's okay, I've almost recovered!" Duan Zixuan shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in plain clothes holding a harp slowly walked in front of Chen Ping.

"Shalan is lying!" the woman said softly.

"Who are you?" Chen Ping asked vigilantly.

"My name is Letina, and I'm a fortune teller. You should be from another world, and you met someone from the Des Empire in the Tower of Babel. That person should be the leader of the Silver Wolf Knights, Barn, one of the four great sword masters, and the princess of the empire. You got the black plague armor from them, and you... you also learned the fierce dragon slash?"

Letina, with skin whiter than snow and golden hair draped over her shoulders, looked at Chen Ping.

Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

"Is this witch cheating? Or does she have perspective? So accurate?" Ye Shengge was a little surprised.

"I want to calculate how long I can live!" Duan Zixuan was indeed a little tempted, but Chen Ping's eyes suppressed his impulse.

Chen Ping frowned slightly. If he were in Blue Star, he would firmly believe that the woman in front of him was a charlatan, or more precisely, a beautiful charlatan, but this was in the Scarlet Secret Realm, or in other worlds.

Letina was an elemental mage, a wandering poet, and a fortune teller from the Demon Realm. She had fortune-told the Queen of the Principality and the nobles of Dark City many times, and all her predictions were 100% accurate.

"Letina? Are you also an elf?" Chen Ping asked.

"No, I'm a demon!" Letina did not hide anything.

"Since President Sharan is lying, what is the truth?" Alia asked next to her. She was not interested in Letina's identity.

"A long time ago, a very strange magic suddenly appeared at the top of the Tower of Babel, causing the airship to be unable to approach at all, so the Magician's Guild has not checked the Great Magic Circle for several years!"

"Then... why did President Sharan hide it?" Alia frowned slightly.

"Because she thinks you are all ordinary people. Even if you know the truth, you have no ability to change it. Instead, you will spread it and cause panic!" Letina replied with a wry smile.

"Damn, don't we deserve to know the truth? The big magic circle is about to explode, but we are still singing and dancing here, thriving?" Duan Zixuan made a precise complaint, but his voice was very low, and Letina and others did not hear it.

"Others do not have this strength, but you are different! You are the only one who can resolve this crisis!" Letina looked at Chen Ping.

"Great warrior, for the people of the principality and for the lives of the continent, you must climb to the top of the Tower of Babel and check the big magic circle up close!"

Chen Ping just nodded.

"Sister Letina, I have a contaminated crystal here, can you purify it?" Alia took out the crystal dropped by the golden stone giant.

"In fact, you can purify it yourself, just use your mental power to lock the evil breath on it, and then use your hands to guide it into another magic stone, that's it!"

As Letina spoke, she took out a magic stone and handed it to Alia.

Under her guidance, Alia kept stroking the crystal with both hands, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Not long after, the crystal trembled and sprayed a milky white evil breath, which Alia immediately guided into the magic stone.

Chen Ping suddenly felt that he also had a bit of evil breath, but now was not the time to purify it.

The purified crystal exuded the same breath as the big magic circle in the Dawn Forest.

As soon as Alia finished guiding, Letina suggested that Sharan help to look at the crystal.

At this time, Sharan returned with Su Xixi and others. They looked much better, but they didn't see the figures of Kher and Xiaobai.

"Your friends have recovered, but Kher's body is a little abnormal, and the wizard left her behind."

"But it seems... there is still one person missing!" Alia said.
