Noland, Black Pigeon's Hall of Silence.
Aurelia was recording a new song today. She had been preparing this song for almost a month with the Man in Black Suit.
The Man in Black Suit's musical talent was mediocre, but he was a great lyricist.
The song was composed by Aurelia and the Man in Black Suit wrote the lyrics. The two of them sang a song about winter together.
When Aurelia finished recording, she walked out of the Hall of Silence and found that her friend Wen Enna had been waiting for a long time.
"Aurelia, listen to me … The human guests are coming to Assequero soon!"
Wen Enna's voice gradually changed from excitement to uneasiness.
She had been practicing baking for so long just for this day.
"My grandfather asked you to welcome the humans?"
Aurelia had mixed feelings when she heard the news. She knew that this day would eventually come.
But when she learned that part of her homeland was going to be occupied by humans, she still felt a little unhappy.
But after living in Noland for so long, Aurelia had learned how to control her emotions.
As long as she imagined the humans as guests, and they were the hosts who welcomed them, she could completely accept it.
"By the way, here are the cookies for today."
Wen Enna said to Aurelia like a virtuous wife.
"I'm going to bring the sample to Qianmian. Do you want to walk around?"
Aurelia also wanted to ask Wen Enna about the recent situation of Assequero. So, after saying goodbye to the Man in Black Suit, she left the Hall of Silence with Wen Enna.
The Black Pigeon's Hall was as noisy and busy as ever. People of different races gathered together to work on words.
Wen Enna carefully followed behind Aurelia. The hall was full of busy goblins and orcs. She had to pay attention when walking, or she might get knocked down.
But when Wen Enna was about to reach the stairs leading to the upper level, she was still hit by a figure running towards her.
"Wen Enna, are you okay?"
Aurelia, who was walking in front, turned around and saw her friend on the ground. She immediately ran back.
"I'm fine …"
Wen Enna propped herself up, and when she looked up, she found that the person she bumped into seemed to be a child.
Just as Wen Enna was about to ask if he was alright, the child's face made Wen Enna freeze in place.
The hood on his head had fallen off due to the impact. What was exposed to the air was not flesh and skin, but a strange metallic texture. His empty pupils were suffused with a kind of blue light.
"You … wait a minute!"
Just when Wen Enna wanted to ask him, he had already put on his hood and ran away. Wen Enna stood up in a daze and looked at Aurelia beside her.
Aurelian's eyes were also filled with shock.
"Is the legend told by the elders true?"
Aurelian muttered uncertainly.
"Let's go ask Qianmian. He seems to be a member of the Black Pigeons. "
When Wen Enna tried to look for the petite figure again, she had already disappeared.
…
Hai Lan was at the headquarters of the Black Pigeons calculating his wages for the day. When he used to work for the Black Pigeons, the group of people in charge of the accounts would always take his wages when they saw that he was a child.
If Hai Lan dared to question him, he would only be greeted with a beating.
But now, the situation was different. If the other party dared to take Hai Lan's wages, they would be the ones who would be beaten up.
Hai Lan handed over all the money he earned from selling the newspapers and his satchel. It was a total of 37 copper coins.
Due to the news of the Golden Can of Sin Cola and the opening of Arthur Crowe, the newspaper sales nearly tripled.
As a result, Hai Lan received five copper coins as a reward for his wages.
Just as he was about to leave with the five copper coins, a figure about his height grabbed his arm.
"You … Why are you here?"
Hai Lan's voice was slightly distorted when he saw the figure.
"Hai Lan, is that your brother?"
The auntie who gave him his wages popped her head out of the window curiously.
Hai Lan nodded at her and dragged the figure out of the headquarters of the Black Pigeons. They only stopped when they reached a deserted alley.
"Lu Qi … What are you doing here?!" Hai Lan asked him loudly.
He took out a can of Sin Cola and waved it in front of Hai Lan. His expression was hidden behind his hood and mask.
However, Hai Lan could feel that he was very pleased with himself.
"Where did you get this from? You didn't steal it, did you? "Hai Lan became very nervous.
The other party kept shaking his head, denying Hai Lan's guess.
"I bought it with money I found in the sewers … Will I get the Golden Can? Lu Qi! Didn't I tell you not to use your ability on the ground?! "
Hai Lan could understand what the other party was saying. When he heard that the can of Sin Cola would definitely win the prize, he became very angry.
"How can you be so sure that you weren't discovered? Casters on the ground are very sensitive to magic! Wait … Don't throw it! "
Hai Lan's lecture seemed to have annoyed Lu Qi. He was about to throw the can of Sin Cola into the trash.
Lu Qi's body emitted a strange sound as if he was laughing at Hai Lan, but he still passed the can to Hai Lan.
Holding the can in his hand, he took a deep breath and pulled the ring.
A golden light appeared in his hand, and the green can slowly turned into a pure gold color.
"Isn't this a little bad?"
Hai Lan was not excited about winning the prize, because he knew that his brother had cheated.
"Of course it's a mistake!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and in the next second, silver-white inscriptions surrounded him, and then his body was comfortably shackled by magic power.
Hai Lan lost his balance and fell to the ground. He saw a caster appear at the end of the alley.
"Strange magic, and the fact that you went to twelve stores to buy this can of coke. I knew there was something wrong with you."
The caster walked towards Hai Lan and Lu Qi with his staff.
"Little guy … You can see through the seal set by the Grey Robe, right? A bottle of Pot of Gold is worth thousands of gold coins now … "
Lu Qi saw Hai Lan on the ground panicking. Hai Lan struggled, but he could not break free from the caster's restraints.
"Let's go! Just like before … "
Hai Lan noticed that her brother's eyes were glowing a deep blue under his hood.
"It's this magic. It's so pure that it doesn't seem like it belongs to a human."
The spellcaster was already behind the two of them. Just as he was about to reach out and grab one of them, an arrow suddenly pierced through his palm.
The caster cried out in pain. He covered his palm with his hand, and a large amount of blood flowed out.
"Who!"
The spellcaster shouted angrily. A magic barrier spread out from his body, but another arrow directly shattered his magic barrier and pierced through his arm that was holding the magic staff.
"If you don't want to die, then in three seconds … No, I can't let you go."
The moment the voice rang out in the alleyway, the caster did not even have time to speak before a black shadow appeared behind him and knocked him unconscious.
The magic shackles on Hai Lan's body were also removed at that moment. She shielded her brother behind her and looked at the person in front of her cautiously.
"Who are you?"
"The person you should respect, Lord."
Hai Lan immediately recognized the person's identity. Dark Elf Qianmian … the ruler of Black Pigeon, the most dangerous existence on Squirrel Street.
"Lord Qianmian, we've been attacked by him."
But to the weak, Qianmian was their protector. Hai Lan's impression of Qianmian was the same.
"I know. I'll deal with this guy and throw him to the Enforcers."
When Qianmian said this, she could not help but sigh. Ever since she followed Josiah, she had completely turned over a new leaf.
In the past, whenever she encountered troublemakers like this, she would just slit their throats. They would not be allowed to live in the Enforcers' dungeon.
"Thank you, Lord Qianmian."
Hai Lan wanted to leave with her brother after expressing her gratitude.
