[I was urged by the editor to write something. I definitely can't update two times today, and I will only update three times tomorrow]

Aini patiently burned the bodies of five mercenaries, dismantled his magic weapons, and took back his backpack.

"Sarin, we cannot stay here for a long time, and the town ahead is not safe." He was afraid that Sainin would not understand the situation of the Qinin Empire and its affiliated principality, so he patiently explained: "Even if the town is not destroyed by the black magician, if we encounter an army, we may be forced to recruit. We must try our best to bypass everyone."

After hearing this, Salin didn't dare to stay for a long time. He pulled five horses left by the mercenaries, and four of them hurriedly set off on the road.

Aini was in poor health. Fortunately, he was skilled in riding skills and practiced since childhood, otherwise he would not be able to hold on. The group did not dare to walk on the main road and hid. It took five days before he approached the boundary of the Principality of Phoenix.

There are only two roads from Phoenix to Qinyin. When I saw the city from afar, Aini stopped his horse.

He jumped off the horse, walked to Salin, took out a badge from his arms, and handed it to Salin. Salin took it in his hand and looked carefully. The badge was silver, and it was a bit heavy, much smaller than his mysterious badge.

The center part of the badge is a lion totem, but it is the symbol of the Clyde family. The Clyde family has no fiefdom, but it is an earl, and it is hereditary. This silver badge is only sent to the bloodline of the direct lineage. Those with silver badges have the opportunity to enter the family center and may even become the next patriarch.

Although Aini lost the magic string and had no future in development, her bloodline could not be erased, and the family did not take back the badge. Salin was a little dissatisfied. If Aini took out the badge, Baron Cook might not have to kill.

Enni smiled and said to Salin: "This badge is just a souvenir to me now. As long as I become a necromancer, the family will create a golden badge for me again. The badge has the alchemy mark I left, and you take it to Kron County. My uncle's name is everywhere, and it is Lance. He looked at the alchemy mark on the badge and will give you potions."

Salin frowned, jumped off the horse, grabbed Eni, and asked, "Why don't you go with me in this condition?"

"It's okay, the family is in this city. I have to stay. Baron Cook cannot return to Qin Yin. You three, give up the horses and climb over the mountains, so as not to cause trouble."

Salin was silent for a long time before he smiled, took up the badge given to him by Aini, and then took out a gem. The gem was crystal clear, and under the sunlight, there were black filaments like smoke and mist, as if they were still floating gently.

He stuffed the gem into Aini's hand, patted Aini on the shoulder, and said, "Take care."

Aini was a little dazed. He looked at the back of Salin and others as they walked away, held the perfect black hair crystal in his hand, and suddenly shouted loudly in the direction of Salin's departure: "Salin, after becoming a great magician, remember to find me..."

Salin heard Aini's shouting, but he did not look back, but waved his hand to Aini.

If Enni was ten years older, Salin said he would not dare to date and get close to him. But now, Enni's thin body and sickly face reminded him of his childhood. The two people are so similar.

After crossing dozens of mountain peaks in succession, Salin and others entered the Qinin Empire. The border city of Phoenix is ​​very small, but the Qinin Empire stationed heavily on the border. It was not that the emperor did not trust the Grand Duke of Phoenix. This corps was left behind since the founding of the country, and its main purpose was to prevent the black magician from rekindling.

The city is huge, and after Salin left Skochenya, he saw such a majestic city tower for the first time.

From a distance, the main body of the city tower emits a copper-colored light, and the top of the city tower is covered with seven-colored glass. Salin is dazzling and confused. Such a big move is not a nouveau riche. The seven-colored glass is a product of alchemy. With this thing on the city tower, the mage under the magician cannot even use magic locks.

The city walls dozens of meters high are all made of huge green steel bricks, and shine brightly under the sunset. It is obviously to avoid the city wall being corroded and it will be washed frequently (similar to European castles, just larger in scale).

The closer you get, the more you can feel the huge pressure brought by the city wall itself. There must be a solidified magic array inside the city wall, and the magic core is not embedded yet, otherwise it will probably immediately stimulate the defensive magic on the Salin magic robe.

Even hundreds of thousands of black puppets can do nothing about it.

Salin suddenly understood why the Qin Yin Empire dared to fight against the Holy Holy Church and did not allow the Holy Church to build any church in his territory. Even the pastor dared not blatantly enter the empire area.

The foundation of the magic empire is too profound, and even a city is so thrilling.

The disaster in the Principality of Phoenix has obviously not affected the empire yet. It is estimated that the Grand Duke of Phoenix can still control the situation. The border town is still open, but there are many more soldiers patrolling the city.

If the Grand Duke of Phoenix did not ask for the emperor's support, the Qin Empire would not have entered the country.

There were soldiers at the city gate to check the past businessmen, but now it is a bit deserted, and probably no businessmen are willing to take risks at this time, but there are quite a few mercenaries.

The identity of Salin's magician made him enter the city smoothly, and the soldiers also exempted him from the entry tax, but they just looked at his mercenary badge. Salin saw that the soldiers at the city gate were all wearing stainless steel armor and carrying Qin Yin's eight-sided sword, and he sighed in his heart. Compared with the soldiers in Ceylon City, the soldiers were just a bunch of shit.

In Guderian City, Salin remembered this name. This should be the name of someone. It is a very common thing on the mainland to name the city. This person must be a hero for a while and has made a lot of contributions in history.

Salin had no intention of staying in Guderian. He directly found the professional union and hired ten mercenaries. This time he also rented a carriage, and without even stopping to rest, he passed through the city and quickly left the border.

The carriage is large and comfortable, and the price is also very expensive.

Salin lay on the soft, wide seat, opposite Neris and Shika.

"Nelise, how are you learning the Common Language?"

"Master, I don't have time to learn." Neris held the book Salin gave her, full of pronunciations. Sika held her stick and seemed to be about to fall asleep. The carriage was extremely stable, and it was probably equipped with some parts made by an alchemist.

"In three months, learn it for me. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to speak in the future." Salin was not polite. When he fought against the headless knight, Neris dared to slacke off and almost harmed Sika.

"Yes, master." Nelise replied with a bitter face. Salin felt regretful. If the little devil became an adult, he could teach her memory magic, and there was no need to be so troublesome. Unfortunately, Nelise seemed to be far away from adulthood. Who knows what harm would cause to her after being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years?

The empire was peaceful. The carriages walked on the main road for more than two months, but they did not encounter a group of bandits. The mercenaries hired by Salin were very professional and did not chat with the employer. They just protected the carriages loyally and did not relax their vigilance even if they were resting in big cities.

In the past two months, Salin has been cautious and dared not use badges to train. The mysterious badge can increase his mental power, but it will cause his body to lose control after use. Salin was scared all the way and did not believe in the mercenary. However, Shika's injuries were completely healed, and he felt a little irritated in the carriage every day.

Fortunately, as soon as he woke up that day, the mercenary knocked on the window of the carriage outside and whispered: "Master, Kushui County has arrived."

Salin opened the carriage window, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but it was still a little chilly. It was already winter, and it was still the middle of the empire, and it was about to snow.

"It was 9 days in advance, even 10 days." Salin smiled.

"Thank you, Master Mage." The mercenary was very polite.

"What? You don't follow us into the city?"

"No, I can't receive tasks here, and I have to collect taxes. Master, there will be no more danger here, we..."

Salin knew that this was a mercenary who didn't want to enter Kushui County. He jumped out of the carriage and looked up. He could see a simple and majestic city in the distance.

"Brother, I want to ask, what should I do if I want to meet the princess?" Salin saw that the mercenaries refused to enter the city, and did not force it. It was only a few minutes away.

"You are a mage, just go to the door."

"Well, you can take this." Salin took out a deposit ticket from the Skochenya Imperial Bank and said, "There is nothing else on you, so I'll give it to you."

This is a depositary note with a denomination of 100 gold coins. If it is exchanged in the Qin Empire, it can only be exchanged for 90 gold coins. The loss in between is quite large, but the price agreed between the two sides is only 50 gold coins, and the excess is 40 gold coins, but it is a reward. Before hiring these mercenaries, Salin said that if he could arrive in advance, he could increase the reward of four gold coins every day in advance.

It takes less than three months for 10 mercenaries to get 9 gold coins each, which is quite a small income for low-level mercenaries. Moreover, such an escort mission is the easiest. Even if there is a secret thief group, they will not attack such a target.

The mercenaries happily took the gold coins, but Salin and others were going to walk into the city.

This city is a bit weird, built on the mountain, and is in a jealous place. If attacked, you only need to trap the people in the city on the front. Of course, the pressure to defend the city will also become smaller, and only one-quarter of the troops of the ordinary city can withstand the enemy's attack.

What's even more strange is that the city wall was not built with bricks, it was vertical, with a smooth surface like a mirror, and there was no gap. There were no Qin Yin-style stents on the city wall, which were flat.

The city gate is beautifully built. The wooden door is opened to the inside, and the patterns on the door are corroded with magic. However, such a gate may be broken if the siege hammer hits it.

Salin and the other two walked into the city with their heads raised their heads, with a thick arm blocking them, and a thunderous sound rang out.
