Babylon, a magic tower standing in a thousand acres of wheat fields, the black tower body has formed an obsidian color through long-term repeated refining.
The tower is seven stories high, and the base of each floor contains a magic circle. The fusion and inlay of multiple magic circles make the magic tower a special building with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
After personally participating in it, the mysterious Demon Night Banquet rumored by the outside world actually seemed very casual. The banquet seemed like a large-scale blind date, and the experience of the coming-of-age ceremony did not have any consultation arrangements from the elders.
After the exiles were killed, there was no celebration ceremony. The demons only needed to complete the contract with their contractors. If they wanted to leave Alan, they could just make the corresponding registration.
This arrangement seemed to retain the mystery of the demon clan to a large extent, and it also seemed to declare the simplicity of the demon night banquet, as if announcing to the banquet attendees that the demon clan had no intention of colluding with external forces through the night banquet.
Cautious?
Although they can be described as a truly extraordinary race, the demon race gave Mu Hua a feeling of being cautious in many aspects.
Based on some of Roaring Bear's behaviors, Mu Hua guessed that the ghost named Tao Les should be easy to talk to.
After all, even a runner and messenger dared to show his disdain for him. It is unlikely that Roaring Bear would still be alive and well today because he has such a bad temper.
Following the Howling Bear out of the courtyard, because they went quite deep into the courtyard, when they returned to the outside world, it was already the morning of the next day.
Outside the courtyard, some people who had completed the trial were gathered and chatting, a few injured demons were receiving healing treatment, and next to three corpses covered with white cloth stood a few young men with unhappy faces.
Under the leadership of Roaring Bear, Mu Hua and his companions simply responded to the greetings of some of the guests, avoided the crowd under the vague observation of the guests, and finally saw a wizard's tower.
Walking among the wheat fields with rustling grass, as they got closer to the Mage's Tower, the increasingly active magic in the surrounding environment attracted Tabitha and Barbara to look around.
"You are from the Magic Empire, right? The magic gathering effect of Babylon is stronger than that of the magic towers in the Magic Empire. The magic environment here may make you a little uncomfortable."
"Don't cast magic here. If you are not used to the active magic here, it will easily lead to spell failure. Of course, to avoid the death aura attracting His Highness's disgust, it is best not to summon your summoned beasts here." Xiong said to Mu Hua and the other three while walking slowly.
The bear's tone was calm, but there was an unconcealable pride on his face. Tabitha stroked the wheat ears on the roadside with her hand, curiosity flashing in her eyes, and nodded slightly, as if responding to the bear's instructions.
Barbara didn't seem to like the arrogance in Xiong's words, but looking at the wizard tower not far away, she curled her lips but did not refute.
How to say it, fairness, a certain kind of fairness between people in Loren is deeply rooted in people's minds. Even the demons in the most remote places will not behave like a fool just because they listen to a powerful man.
It may be seen as disrespectful by some people, but this kind of interaction is often relatively simple and comfortable. If it has little to do with one's own life, one can just laugh it off if one runs into a head of state.
Xiong Ting praised the magical environment here, and his expression showed some concern for the country people. Tina, who was walking beside Mu Hua, frowned slightly, feeling the surrounding environment, but a sneer of disdain hung on the corner of her mouth.
Near the Mage's Tower, there are some people in the fields who seem to be working on the farm. Their silver hair reflects their identity as demons.
Occasionally, someone would cast a surprised look at Mu Hua and his companions, but when they saw Xiong walking in front of them, most of them quickly withdrew their slightly scrutinizing gazes.
"The aura of these people is not weak." Slowing down her pace and moving closer to Mu Hua, Taibesha glanced at those farmer-like demons and whispered to Mu Hua.
"Their age is generally over 200 years old." Before Mu Hua could say anything, Xiong took the initiative to introduce them.
Age, in a certain sense, is a unit of measurement that can represent strength.
The vague explanation did not explain why these people were farming, nor did it introduce their identities. It seemed to simply tell Tabitha that these people were very strong.
"Where are their contractors? Did they dye their hair?" After observing the farmers and not finding any hair color other than silver, Mu Hua asked Xiong.
"They couldn't get rid of the shackles of their lifespan and fell asleep. They want a peaceful life. If there is no emergency, they will help His Highness deal with some chores inside and outside the magic tower." The bear replied. The natural lifespan of humans is much lower than that of demons, and everyone has their own hobbies of "eating, drinking, whoring and gambling". Even the limit of 300 years is not something that everyone can achieve. The so-called sleep should be the situation in the petri dishes in the white whale's body earlier.
These farmers have served their contractors their entire lives, and ultimately their masters have chosen a nearly sacrificial way to prolong their lives.
And their existence may have laid the foundation for the strength of the demon clan.
Mu Hua and Taibetha looked at each other as they asked and answered questions.
Both of them had complicated feelings about the demons, so it was difficult to comment too much. In the silence, Xiong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and saw two figures standing in front of the heavy main entrance of the Mage Tower.
A man and a woman, the woman looked to be in her fifties, with a gentle expression on her face. The man rolled up his sleeves, wearing trousers and a shirt, like a white-collar worker taking a lunch break.
The man was wearing a mask on his face, which seemed to conceal his aura and made it impossible to see his appearance.
"Your Highness." Seeing the two men, Xiong quickly stepped forward and bowed to the masked man.
"Elder." Following Xiong's footsteps, Mu Hua and the other three also came in front of the two people. Unlike Xiong, Barbara and Tina took the lead and bowed slightly to the woman, speaking respectfully.
"Yeah." The masked man nodded in response to Xiong, and the woman stood beside the masked man, half a step behind him, nodded at Barbara and Tina, but did not say anything.
"Mu Hua, Tai Besha, nice to meet you. You can call me Tai Daxiong." Without saying much to Xiong, the masked man took the initiative to speak to Mu Hua.
"..." Mu Hua and Taibetha looked at each other in confusion, then turned to look at the bear who had retreated to the side.
His Highness? It should be a ghost, right? Isn't it called Tao Lesi? Who is this His Highness Tai Daxiong?
"Well, Your Highness, changing your name casually will not change the admiration of men for you." Faced with the confusion of Mu Hua and Taibesha, Xiong on the side had a strange expression and his whole cheek twitched a few times. However, the woman who was called elder by Barbara on the side coughed dryly.
"No, Casey, I just simply like more majestic names." The masked man whose name was controversial retorted.
"You don't have the talent for naming. Believe me, this name is not majestic." A look of helplessness flashed across the face of the woman named Cathy.
"That's better than Tao Le Si." The masked man shook his head.
"Your Highness, you have touched the color range, but you are not a sissy. Your distortion of homosexuality comes from your attitude towards life." Casey also shook his head.
"How dare you say I'm a sissy?" The masked man seemed angry.
"Okay, I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm just used to hearing you say it so often. I apologize." Cathy took another half step back from the masked man and bowed to apologize, but Mu Hua always felt that her tone lacked some sincerity.
Tao Lesi, a color domain ghost. As mentioned earlier, charm can only be regarded as an additional ability of the color domain. Rumor has it that where the color domain ghost exists, within a certain range, there is no reproductive isolation between creatures. . .
Well, let’s not talk about the rumors first. As for charm, since it is easy to cause bad influence on the lives around him, in order to prevent people who see his appearance from having abnormal desires for him, he always wears a magic mask to conceal his breath.
Probably because he had received too many confessions from people of the same sex and was troubled by his own supernatural powers, this ghost tried to change other people's first impression of him through his name, and some words like "tall, big and strong" became his first choice.
Not only did he like to change his own name, he also liked to change the names of the people around him. When he was arguing with Casey, just by looking at the bear gritting its teeth beside him, one could guess that the name of the Roaring Bear was probably given by him.
After the brief contact, Mu Hua was still unsure of what name to call the ghost in front of him.
However, judging from the current situation, this ghost god does not show any ferocious behavior, at most he is a little off in some aspects. (End of this chapter)
