In the package storage area of the Hexagram Station.
The young lady put on a polite smile, "Nice to meet you. How may I help you?"
"I have a suitcase that needs to be stored here. I'll pick it up when I return from Allyn." Ramiro smiled casually, and the smell of peppermint spread out from his mouth.
It was a special kind of tobacco from the Kingdom of Brianne, called "Peppermint". Instead of smoking, it was dried in a secret way and directly chewed. It could refresh one's mind and make one feel as intoxicated as cigarettes.
The young lady smiled, "How many days do you need? Are you a sorcerer? " As an ordinary woman in Renstadt, the fact that she could find such a well-paid and relatively leisurely job was all thanks to Arcana Voice. Her prejudice against sorcerers had been eliminated, and she dared to apply for the job and successfully stood out from the few competitors. Therefore, she had a good impression of sorcerers.
"I'm just an ordinary sorcerer. Hmm, three days. Forget it. I'll pay for seven days first. Can I get a refund or a refund?" Ramiro said unhurriedly. He did not look like he was in a hurry at all.
The young lady smiled understandingly, "No problem. Let me check the package."
After listening to Arcana Voice and working in the Hexagram Station, she finally realized that sorcerers were not as rich as she thought. Some of them could barely make ends meet in order to improve their strength and arcana research.
Ramiro handed over a black suitcase in his hand like a normal traveler.
The female worker was not careless. Following the training procedure, she put the suitcase into the magic circle in the large alchemical device behind her back and pressed the switch to activate it with electricity.
It was a simplified alchemical item developed by Gifts of Elements, which was designed to check packages and other items. After being simplified, it could be activated with electricity and could be used by ordinary people. Therefore, it was popularized in magic steam train stations, Nekso Palace, villas and manors of the great nobles, concert halls, opera houses, city halls and other places.
After checking and confirming that there were no curses or dangerous items inside, the young lady opened the suitcase and checked it again with her naked eyes. She found that most of the things inside were ordinary clothes, some of them were tobacco from Brianne, and a piece of light black meat wrapped in gray cloth.
"A local beef?" She asked curiously.
Ramiro's lips twitched, "Yes."
"One Nar a day, seven in total." The young woman closed the suitcase, hung a sign on it, and placed it on the corresponding luggage rack in the warehouse behind.
When she came back, Ramiro took out seven shiny silver coins and let them fall onto the counter one by one. He squinted his eyes and listened to the crisp sound.
"This is your receipt. Please keep it well. When the time comes, it will be settled according to the actual number of days." The female clerk respectfully handed the receipt with the seal to Ramiro. It was an ink pad mixed with a special magic potion, which could only be forged by official sorcerers, but they would not do such a thing for such a small amount of money.
Ramiro picked up the receipt and looked at it. Chewing his tobacco, he nodded slightly. "Thank you."
Then, with his hands in his pockets, he walked to the platform where the magic steam train was waiting. When he approached a silver trash can, he suddenly extended his right hand and threw a piece of carbonized paper into it.
The black paper slowly fell to the ground. As soon as it was touched by the wind, it broke into countless tiny butterflies and disappeared without a trace.
After doing all this, Ramiro turned into the washroom. Looking relaxed, he carefully checked the surroundings. After making sure that no one was watching him, he pinched his face in front of the mirror. Suddenly, his whole body wriggled weirdly like a Sludge Monster. Within a few seconds, he turned into a beautiful young lady with a curvy body. The black double-breasted suit he was wearing also turned into a light purple cake dress. The collar and the cuffs were decorated with elegant flounces.
Looking into the dark blue eyes in the mirror, Ramiro smiled at "her" and said, "Avelina, long time no see. Sometimes, I find that being a girl is much more interesting than being a man."
Of course, "Avelina" would not answer him.
Tidying up his clothes, Ramiro took out a wide-brimmed hat with beautiful ribbons and put it on. Then he walked out of the washroom gracefully and boarded the magic steam train that had just arrived.
"Avelina, you're back from Brianna?" A young man stood up from his seat in surprise.
Ramiro smiled, "Yes. The arcana in Allyn has been developing too fast. I can't keep up with the times if I stay in Brianna. So I came back."
"That's great. Where's your boyfriend, Lavrov?" The young man politely asked "Avelina" to sit down.
Ramiro put on a sad face, "We've been separated."
"Is that so?" The young man tried to suppress his joy and comforted her, pretending to be sad, "It's okay. There's something better waiting for you."
Ramiro "sadly" watched the train slowly retreating from the platform. Listening to the long whistle and the clanking sound of the iron wheels hitting the track, he cursed in his mind.
"Who the hell is he?"
In Avelina's memory after she was controlled, there was no such person …
The young man was intoxicated by the "quiet melancholy" and could not say a word. Time passed quickly. The magic steam train gradually ascended and headed for Allyn.
When passing through the defense of Allyn, Ramiro slightly narrowed his eyes and felt the power of the defense sweeping over him.
As expected, Allyn was lax on the outside but strict on the inside. Although it was still as open as a normal city, the secret inspection was quite strict. Luckily, his ability of "body control" made him equal to the real "Avelina".
The magic steam train stopped at the platform. As soon as Ramiro got out of the train, he saw the dazzling starlight in the magic tower of the Congress headquarters in the distance. It was as bright and dazzling as the red sun in the sky.
"What's going on?" Ramiro recognized what it was, but he asked in confusion.
The young man took a closer look, "It looks like a well-established Portal to Alternate Realm. Your Excellencies who were exploring the mysterious space are back so soon?"
"Let's go and take a look." Ramiro smiled.
It seemed to be an opportunity, but it was also a bit of a coincidence.
However, Ramiro would not give up such an opportunity. The reason why he was able to become the thirteenth night watcher and defeat several level-nine experts was because of his decisiveness and decisiveness. Those who were used to scheming and scheming would never expect that he would come and take action just like that.
"Only 2.7 seconds …" Ramiro said to himself. This was the time for the defense of Allyn to react when it was not fully activated. He was not sure if he could take advantage of this time to kill Lucien Evans. He had to play it by ear.
… …
In the hall on the thirty-second floor of the magic tower of the Congress headquarters, there stood an illusory gate that was five meters tall and three meters wide.
The foundation of the gate was a complicated magic circle inlaid with countless gems and precious materials. Dazzling starlight was radiating from the gate. Many sorcerers had gathered around the gate.
"Master, why did you summon so many senior-rank sorcerers and archmages?" Lucien had just arrived when he sensed the anomaly. He did not receive any information before he arrived.
Fernando, who was still wearing a long, red magic robe, said solemnly, "The races in this world are normal, but the environment is special. Every corner is filled with a weird feeling, which greatly suppresses our spiritual power. Even Douglas could only sense three hundred meters away. Also, this world is divided into countless small pieces by a half-solidified space barrier. It does not affect the ordinary people, and it's still a whole world, but for the legendary sorcerers, it means that they cannot fly at full speed. If they accidentally crash into the half-solidified space barrier, they may be heavily wounded."
"In such an environment, it seems difficult to find the whereabouts of the demigods who can block many prophecy spells …" Lucien basically understood why the Congress summoned so many senior-rank sorcerers and archmages. At this moment, more people was more important.
Fernando nodded. "We had a battle with the Church. Because the pope took action in person, we were at a disadvantage. However, the number of people they could summon was not as many as ours, and they could not surround and kill us. Later, after discovering the uniqueness of this alternate dimension, everybody stopped fighting. Right now, the most important thing is to explore the new world and find Alterna and her companions. A direct battle will only benefit other forces."
"A new world …" Lucien wondered if it meant that Natasha would also lead the Knight of the Duchy of Orvarit into the new world.
Seeing that Lucien was absent-minded, Fernando smiled. "By preliminary estimation, this alternate dimension is at least half the size of the main material world. It's sort of a new world. Whoever occupies it will gain abundant resources."
"I see. Then why didn't you summon middle-rank sorcerers? The number of senior-rank sorcerers and archmages is still too small. "Lucien asked in confusion.
Fernando shook his head. "Because there's a special kind of experts in this world who are above senior-rank. Sending middle-rank sorcerers in will only cause a lot of casualties."
"Special kind of experts?" Lucien had never heard Fernando describe experts in such a way.
Fernando's face became serious. "False gods, like the false gods that popped up in the early stage of the War of Dawn. They're all kinds of monsters and are very powerful. However, for some strange reason, they can grant their believers the ability of spells like devils and demons, and their minds are in a state of madness and stubbornness. So far, we've captured one and are studying it at the same time. "
"Captured one …" Lucien suddenly felt that false gods were pitiful animals being hunted.
Seeing that most of the senior-rank sorcerers and archmages had stepped into the Portal to Alternate Dimension, Fernando glared at Lucien and said, "Whatever ideas you have, just extinguish them and stay in Allyn to improve your magic power. You'd better stay in Allyn if you're not good enough for your ranking on the Cleansing List, and don't even think about getting involved in the mysterious space. "
The ranking on the Cleansing List was the legendary level … Lucien rubbed his chin in distress.
Fernando did not say anything more and asked Thompson to step into the Portal to Alternate Dimension together.
As he stepped in, the batch of sorcerers had all been teleported. Only the sorcerers who were sending off their friends and teachers were left. The exploration this time was much more dangerous than before. Maybe this would be their last farewell.
In the crowd, Ramiro saw that the starlight was slowly dispersing and the Portal to Alternate Dimension was about to degenerate into a half-activated state, so he started to estimate the time.
"With the interference of the dispersing power of the Portal to Alternate Dimension, the reaction time of the magic tower in Allyn is seven seconds."
Ramiro glanced at Lucien at the beginning and then did not pay any attention to him at all, in case he would be alerted.
"Seven seconds …"
This was such a good opportunity. Let's do it!
