"Kalixi, there's a fire mage up ahead. He's performing right in the middle of the street. There are so many healers that they've completely blocked the street." Go lowered his head and stuck it to the window of the carriage, shouting loudly.
He had no choice but to shout loudly. The street was as noisy as boiling porridge. There were people everywhere, and there were voices everywhere. It was even more exaggerated than the train stations during the Spring Festival in modern society.
"It's just a fire mage. You can see those guys on the streets and in the taverns at the docks every day. There's nothing strange about it." Zaro's face was full of disapproval.
He was probably used to the traffic jams in Queers. He was still calm in such an environment. He took out a bottle of red wine from a compartment under the chair and shook it in front of Danny. He said, "Don't you miss your hometown? This is the best Golden Wine from Qingting Island. Let's have another drink. "
"No. Fire mages aren't that common in the Western Continent. I'll go out and take a look." Danny shook her head.
In fact, fire mages were often seen on the streets of Braavos and Pentos. Even the King's Landing under the Seven Gods Sect had a Fire Warlock Guild.
The fire mages that Danny and Rize had met before were more like handymen or magicians than mages.
However, Danny did not want to continue this nonsense with Zaro. She was mentally tired.
"Get me a horse." She stuck her head out of the curtain and shouted to the Blood Brotherhood Guards.
"Kalixi, your qipao isn't suitable for riding," Jorah said as he took a few steps forward.
There were three Blood Brotherhood Guards. One was on the left, one was on the right, and one was leading the way. Sir Jorah was guarding the back. He and Cui Luo were guarding the dragon cage on the carriage behind them.
"Sigh, this is troublesome." Danny looked around and realized that she was not tall enough to see through the dense crowd.
Suddenly, she had an idea. She smiled. "I'll stand on the back of the bull. Go support me from the side."
This carriage was one of the gifts that Zaro had given Danny. The body of the carriage was made of ebony and gold. The bulls pulling the carriage were also divine bulls that were one in a thousand. One was as white as ivory, while the other was as black as jade. They were very handsome and very docile.
The horns were inlaid with jewels.
As she spoke, she jumped off the ox cart and squeezed to the side of the white ox pulling the cart. Like an agile monkey, she lightly stood on the broad back of the ox and did not need Ah Ge's support at all.
It was fine if she didn't look, but with just a glance, Danny was shocked. The Fire Mage was a short man wearing a tight red robe. His face was dark and thin, and his body was like a monkey. At this moment, he was also like the most magical devil monkey. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a burning staircase two meters above the ground.
He jumped and landed on the swaying red fire stairs. He didn't fall. Danny didn't see any hidden support.
In fact, this was just the beginning. He stood on the empty fire stairs and waved his hands. Orange-Red fire stairs appeared in an orderly manner, extending all the way to the high lattice-like ceiling. Then, he climbed up the fire stairs like an agile monkey. Every time he stepped on a fire staircase, the staircase disappeared behind his feet, leaving only a wisp of silver smoke.
As he climbed higher and higher, he reached the height of four floors. At the top, he waved at the wildly cheering audience below and suddenly fell backward. His entire body, together with the last step of the fiery staircase, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Danny widened her eyes and looked at the empty yellow sky. She shouted in her heart, This is impossible.
If the Fire Mage on the street is so awesome, how can I survive?
"Ah Ge, Sir Jorah, what do you think?" She couldn't help but ask the two people beside the white ox.
They were riding on the backs of tall horses, and together with Danny, they had witnessed the miracle just now.
"It's a very good trick. Many palace magicians are not as good as him," Jorah praised loudly.
"Do you understand? Where did he go? Why can he stand on the fire out of thin air? Could there really be magic? "Dani asked in a low voice.
"Hahaha, Your Highness, you think too much. It's just a trick of the Jianghu magicians. They rely on this for a living. If they can't fool us, they won't be qualified, "Jorah laughed.
"This is not a trick," a woman said in the common language.
Hearing the voice, Danny noticed that Kui Xi was standing beside the white ox. She was still wearing a gray linen hooded mage robe and a red lacquered wooden mask.
She didn't know how long she had been there, but the few of them had ignored her.
She was obviously a wizard, but she had maxed out her stealth skills.
Danny complained in her heart as she turned around and rode on the back of the ox. She smiled and greeted, "Master Mage, long time no see. How have you been?"
After greeting, she hurriedly asked, "Do you know the trick of the magic just now? Or is that really magic? But how is that possible? "
"If it was half a year ago, I would agree with you even without seeing it with my own eyes. But it's different now, Danny Rize. You have brought back the power of magic to this world." Kui Xi's eyes reflected a watery luster behind the mask.
Danny blinked her eyes hard, but she couldn't see the color of her eyes.
"Isn't that too exaggerated? If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't know nothing about magic. "She laughed.
Kui Xi pointed at the Fire Mage who had appeared out of nowhere in the crowd and said seriously, "I know him. Half a year ago, at the same place, he couldn't even use the Dragon Crystal to start a fire. He could only rely on gunpowder and wildfire to fool ignorant fools.
Daenerys, take a closer look. That fatty Queers in the colorful robe is a priest of the Memory Shrine. That girl in the felt hat behind him, take a look … "
Danny looked in the direction where Kui Xi was pointing. Seven or eight meters away, there was a girl wearing a felt hat and a magenta dress, dressed like a rich lady. She leaned against the fat priest's waist and squeezed in another direction as if nothing had happened.
"That girl is a pickpocket! I saw her use a blade to cut open the cloth bag on the priest's waist. "Aggo exclaimed.
"Do you understand now?" Kui Xi looked at Danny and said lightly, "That fire mage used magic to attract the audience's attention, and then the pickpockets under him took the opportunity to do their work."
"But … what does this mean?" Danny murmured.
"He's not a proper fire mage."
"You saw the flaming stairs with your own eyes. But half a year ago, he could only perform barefoot steps on burning coals or make burning roses bloom in the air. I don't need to explain. You should be able to guess the key point. Compared to the performance now, it's like heaven and earth. "
Finally, she said to Danny, "The reason is simple. The tide of magic is surging, and his own magic power is increasing. The power of every occultist in this world is increasing rapidly."
"You don't want to teach me magic. What's the use of telling me this?" Danny said noncommittally.
Even if the dragon brought magic to this world, she didn't even know the most basic incantation.
After listening to Kui Xi's words today, she even gave up the idea of going to Asha to study.
If she really went to the Wizard City, would she learn witchcraft from the wizards, or would the wizards develop witchcraft from her "body"?
"I want to warn you, Danny Targaryen." Kui Xi suddenly stepped forward and held Danny's right hand that was supporting her on the cow's back. "You must leave this city quickly, or you won't be able to leave."
"Son of Shadow, don't touch the Mother Of Dragons!" Jorgo's eyes were sharp, and he nimbly knocked the whip handle on Kui Xi's finger. Her finger hurt and she immediately withdrew her hands.
Danny frowned and raised her right hand to look carefully in front of her eyes. Her skin was white and soft, without even a trace of red.
Was it an illusion?
The moment Kui Xi had touched her right wrist, she had felt a sharp pain at the spot where she had touched it.
It came suddenly and went quickly. She wasn't sure if it was an illusion or not.
"What's the danger?" She asked.
Kui Xi looked calm. She was not angry even after being hit by Jorgo. "The royal family has seen your dragon. You rejected Zaro many times, and you will continue to reject him in the future. The wizard has always coveted your dragon. You should know this yourself. None of the major forces in Queers are your friends. Isn't it dangerous enough? "
Dani glanced at the ox-cart behind her and said noncommittally, "Where do you think I should go? Well, I won't go to Asha. "
Kui Xi said indifferently, "To go north, you must go south. To reach the West, you must go east. To go forward, you must go back. To see the light, you must go through the shadows. This is your destiny. "
"Alas, why do you want me to go to Asha? Even a lousy witch could easily ruin my life, but there are countless wizards who study mysterious powers there. "Dani said helplessly.
"There is the truth, the truth of the world that you must know." Kui Xi said.
She did not wait for Danny to ask again. She bowed and disappeared into the crowd.
Aggo looked at Kui Xi's back and snorted. "No one in their right mind would believe in the Children of Shadow."
"Hahaha, your barbarians have wisdom that they don't know." Zaro was in the carriage and heard the whole conversation. He opened the curtain and invited Danny back to the carriage. "Even if you keep rejecting me, I will still be your most loyal friend and your most passionate admirer. You can treat my palace as your home and stay as long as you want. "
"Thank you. You are my most trusted friend, Gentleman Zaro," Danny said with a smile.
I don't believe you. It's time to leave.
When the sun set, they returned to Zaro's mansion. After dealing with Zaro, Danny immediately called Jorgo to the study and asked him about Kui Xi's words.
"Although I don't trust her, Kui Xi is right about one thing. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it is. Even from the perspective of a guest's rights, a short visit counts as a guest, but if we stay here for too long, we will become a sojourn and can no longer be considered a guest. "Chora talked about the tradition of the Northern Region again.
"Where do you think we should go next?" she asked.
"The east. The Far East is not just Asha. There are many trading cities in the Jade Sea," Jorgo said.
"Going east means giving up the chance to return to the Westeros," Danny said calmly. "Illyrio is not trustworthy.
"Illyrio is not trustworthy. He is fat, which means that he is gluttonous. As the saying goes, 'A glutton is greedy.' At the same time, he is a powerful person. There is another saying, 'A person in power is cunning.' How can you trust someone who is both greedy and cunning?" Chora said solemnly.
