The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [Luoqiu Chinese]https://Fastest update! No ads!

After bidding farewell to Luvia, Xia De took the cat to Lengshui Harbor while he had time in the morning, and went there to see if the entrustment of purchasing coins and items related to the power of the sun had any results.

The seven broomsticks in the black market in the dock area still found nothing, but the bartender recommended to Xia De a special product in autumn in the New World, a disgusting plant called "sheeptail". It was white and as long as a sausage, and it swayed from side to side when touched. It can be used as a material for some basic healing potions, but unfortunately the old continent itself has substitutes such as sage, so it is not very popular.

And when Xia De went to the lighthouse outside the city, he was attacked by murlocs by the sea.

This incident is also interesting to say. He originally took a horse-drawn carriage out of the city, but because he wanted to see what the beach looks like in autumn, he got off the car early one mile from the sea cliff where the lighthouse is, and held the cat in his arms. walk on the beach.

The port of Lengshui Port is busy, and the scenery of the shallow water beach outside the city is also very beautiful. Xia De even picked up a beautiful conch and planned to take it home and put it in the living room as a souvenir.

Just as he was picking up the conch, there was a faint sound of a horn in the sea. Then, amidst Mia's panicked cry, three crumpled and bald heads emerged from the water.

Not knowing why, Xia De's first reaction was to retreat, and then he realized that it was an ugly murloc crawling out of the sea. But it's not that he has the ability to pollute the mind. Even if he just leaves a portrait on the painting, he can affect the viewer. The one who appeared this time was only a mixed-race guy.

One of them was stout and low, and carried a rotting wooden staff hung with seaweed and topped with pearls. The other two were tall, holding large iron forks that had rusted from seawater corrosion. After the chunky murloc chanted the spell softly, there were some blue water marks on the two weapons that didn't look very useful, which was a spell to strengthen the weapons.

"A spellcaster and two melee professionals? The murlocs in Lengshui Harbor really cooperate with each other."

The three murlocs obviously fell in love with Xia De and Mia, and after the fat murloc finished casting the spell, they rushed towards Xia De while making the sound of Ulu Uru from their mouths.

This is the ordinary monster with the weakest strength but also the largest number lurking in the coastal waters of Lengshui Port. Even if there are three added up, the difficulty of the challenge is about the same as that of a human ring warlock with a third ring or a fourth ring.

So there is no suspense in the next battle. Xia De drew out the [Moonlight Great Sword] and went up to him. The murloc had to dodge sideways, took this opportunity to get close again, and punched out with the left fist wearing the [Mind Crystal Ring], causing his seven orifices to bleed and fall down.

Looking at the fat murloc caster, it has already retreated to the beach, speaking untranslatable obscenities in the murloc language, and then waving the rotten wooden staff embedded with pearls, while the ring of life appeared, Suddenly, dense schools of fish sprang out of the sea. These schools of fish landed on the sand and piled up together to form a terrifying human figure that could induce trysophobia.

"Summon?"

Xia De took a step back to avoid the fishy smell, and stretched out his hand to press down on Mia, whose small head was protruding from his arms—the cat was bouncing its nose, and then took out the moonstone ring and kissed gently:

"confusion!"

Under the misty yellow moonlight, the fish school monster turned around and rushed towards its summoner, leaving a string of weird footprints on the sand. The fat murloc let out a strange cry, and immediately threw himself into the sea, while the school of fish monsters also chased after it.

Xia De didn't chase because he didn't want to get his clothes wet. He stood on the beach and looked at the two corpses:

"After the Coldwater Harbor incident, the murlocs here have become the only trouble. If the Mibao incident can be successfully resolved, probably 'ghosts' will also become a specialty there. Every city has its own characteristics."

Restore the canvas toy to canvas, use it to turn two murloc corpses into toys, and plan to sell them to Mr. Edmond, who guards the lighthouse. Of course, Mr. Edmund did not want to study the corpses, but the local church recovered these corpses. Xia De didn't want to go to the city to go to the black market anymore, so he sold it to the old tower guard and let him make a difference.

But unfortunately, there are no new coins here for the Tower Keeper. As for the items containing the power of the sun, Mr. Edmund sold a gray parchment roll and a sun-patterned scroll to Shade at prices of 5 pounds 3 shillings and 21 pounds 14 shillings. Round metal badge.

There are many ways to draw the sun pattern, and the sun pattern on the badge is not the holy emblem of the righteous **** [Old Man with the Lamp].

"This roll of parchment is said to have been found from the ruins of the old temple in the New World. Although there was nothing on it except the runes that represented the sun, when it was found, it was placed in a pedestal with only the base left. Under the statue. As for this badge, it is an antique I recently received, and it has very low miracle elements on it, which can slightly increase most thaumaturgy and spells related to the sun."

The old man explained that Xia De tried his own "sun rays" and found that the degree of enhancement was almost negligible.

"Are these two items really related to the power of the sun?"

Xia De was very suspicious.

"What are you going to do with them?"

Mr. Edmond asked as he packed his fishing gear.

"To open an ancient seal, five different items related to the power of the sun are required. Now I have found three, and there are still two left."

"Then find a few more pieces and try them all, and you will always find something that meets your requirements."

The old man talked about his suggestion, and recommended that if Xia De couldn't find it, he should sneak into the Sun Church in the countryside and wait for the opportunity to steal the holy emblem hanging on the main auditorium.

Of course he was joking, the only end of doing this is to be hunted down by the sun believers in the whole world.

First return to the urban area of ​​Lengshuigang, taste the delicacies of the coastal city with Mia in a restaurant, then return to Saint Teresa Square, take a carriage out of the city to visit the Witch's Manor, and ask the Witch if she has obtained items related to the sun.

Xia De hoped that he could be promoted to the fourth ring before the end of the incident at Fort Midhill, so that he could have more strength in the troubles he was involved in. Therefore, he must enter the fifth era in 3024 for the third time as soon as possible to complete the unfinished story. And assisting the witches to obtain the "Book of Nameless Sacrifice" is also something that needs to be done.

Unfortunately, Miss Galina and Tifa were not there when Shad arrived at the manor at two o'clock in the afternoon.

But they didn't go into the city, but accompanied Queen Diana to watch the horse race at the racecourse on the outskirts of the city.

"race?"

"Yes."

The old housekeeper of the Witch Manor smiled kindly in the foyer:

"Now is the last season suitable for horse racing before winter. There are many well-known racecourses in the southern suburbs of the city. There will be one or two races every week. Local well-known riders can sign up for the competition, and there are even official betting games. Miss is not keen Because of this kind of sport, but Queen Diana liked it very much, so she often called the noble ladies and members of the royal family in the city to watch the horse races outside the city."

"Then I'll wait here for Miss Galina to come back. Since they're all ladies, it's inappropriate for me to go."

Xia De said, but the old butler shook his head again:

"It's not just ladies. The horse farm they went to today belongs to the Le Maire family, and the horse farm is next to the manor of the Marquis Le Maire. The nobles are allowed to go there at will, and there are many nobles who like horse racing. Moreover, being There are not a few people who are attracted by Her Royal Highness, you can go there now, do you need to prepare a carriage? Or do you want to ride a horse yourself? The weather is fine today, and the country roads in autumn are worth admiring."

Shad doesn't know how to ride a horse, and Tifa only lets him learn how to mount a horse for the time being. And he also took Little Miya with him, so of course he wouldn't engage in such "high-risk" sports:

"Get the carriage ready for me, I've never seen a racehorse before."

Le Maire Racecourse is located about 2.3 miles from the edge of the city. When the carriage drove Shad all the way to the south, he felt that the road in front of him was familiar.

After inquiring, I learned that the large manor and horse farm of the Marquis Le Maire are connected to another nobleman's manor, which is called the Lake View Manor. In fact, the horse farm and the surrounding pastures are sandwiched between the two manors. Strictly speaking, half of the area of ​​Lake Schluchsee, which is adjacent to the Lake View Manor, belongs to the Marquis Lemaire.

When thinking of the special place of Lake View Manor, Xia De would inevitably think of the Rhodes card under the vines in midsummer night, the blood-clothed **** on the third floor of the manor, and the kick under the moon.

Obviously that was only half a year ago, but it really seemed to have happened many years ago.

To enter the horse farm, you need to enter the Le Maire Manor first. Although this manor also occupies an amazing area, and the sculptures and gardening in the courtyard are exquisite, it is still not as luxurious as Miss Galina's manor.

The carriage with the emblem of the Duchess of Saladir entered the manor without any obstruction. It's just that the courtyard of the manor is divided into two floors, inside and outside. The carriage did not drive towards the inner floor where the three-story mansion was located, but drove along the carriageway of the outer courtyard towards the side entrance of the manor.

A servant had been waiting here for a long time. After the carriage stopped for a while, the servant respectfully asked the identity and name of the guests on the carriage. After the coachman announced the name "Hamilton of Regard", Miss Galina's current location was immediately known.

There is a dedicated driveway between the side gate and the horse farm, and wooden fences on both sides separate the manor from the adjacent pasture. It didn't take long before I heard the noise, and then I saw from the car window the racecourse surrounded by tall wooden and iron fences, and the auditorium on the edge of the racecourse.

The carriage stopped, and after Xia De jumped out of the carriage, he could see the dust raised by the running horses through the gap in the fence, and he could also hear the sound of cheers and roars.

Ribbons were pulled above the racecourse, and good people excitedly waved their hats to the riders. The riders galloped happily on the horses, and the heavy sound of hooves even scared Mia in Xia De's arms.

Under the leadership of the servants, Xia De bent over and walked up the auditorium from the rear stairs, while Miss Galina and Queen Diana sat in the awning in the south of the racecourse. Ladies in gorgeous dresses are wearing sun hats with colorful feathers, or holding porcelain teacups, or holding small binoculars, or holding lupine fans, enjoying this dull autumn afternoon.

The shadow of the awning stays on the sunlit ground~lightnovelpub.net~ In the muggy and cool air, there is no wind at all. Everyone is so comfortable, the activities of nobles have always been like this.

All the tension that comes with venturing through the haunted, foggy, windy city of Fort Midhill melts away in this moment.

The racecourse seems to be covered with golden yellow, and the warm sunlight makes the body warm. The corner of Xia De's mouth showed a smile unconsciously. He raised his hand above his eyes and looked at Miss Galina, who seemed to be aware of it.

Tobesk this autumn is really peaceful.
