  It seems that I felt the entry of Ah-Dai's spiritual power, and one life form quickly approached Ah-Dai. A spiritual force touched Ah-Dai, and in this spiritual contact, there was no distinction between languages. Both sides only felt each other's inner thoughts. A voice echoed in Ah-Dai's heart, "Dad, you can finally communicate with me."

  Upon hearing this sentence, Ah Diao nearly lost his composure and replied with a spiritual force: "You, who are you? Why do you call me Dad?"

  "Dad, it's me Xiaoxie! You've finally found a way to communicate with me. Dad, when are you going to let Xiaoxie out? Although it's very comfortable here, Xiaoxie is feeling really suffocated!"

  A'Diao was completely stunned, Holy Evil, Holy Evil actually called himself "Dad". What, what's going on? In fact, this is easy to explain. Although Holy Evil is a powerful dragon clan, it also has a sense of family affection. When it was born, the first person it saw was A'Diao, and A'Diao provided food for it, cared for it and loved it. The two had an equal contractual relationship, based on these reasons, Holy Evil naturally developed a dependent emotional attachment to A'Diao, treating A'Diao as its closest person. This dependent emotion was understood by A'Diao in the spiritual energy exchange as "Dad".

  It wasn't until a while later that Ah Dui finally reacted, and with a helpless expression, he used his spiritual power to tell Xie Er, "Xiao Xie, you shouldn't call me Dad, but rather Brother."

  "Brother, oh, okay then, I'll call you silly brother."

  A'Duo let out a sigh of relief, only then remembering the important matter, and hastily asked: "Xiao Xie, what happened to that Bone Dragon from that day? Why did you have me put it in the Divine Dragon's Blood?"

  "Brother, that bastard has been subdued by me and is now my younger brother. In the future, I can let him help you! Although his consciousness isn't very clear, after being subdued by me, he's still quite honest. And besides, since you saved him that day, he's extremely grateful to you! With me around, he absolutely won't dare be arrogant, so don't worry!"

  "Ah! I've got another Bone Dragon friend. Xiao Xie, you'd better keep an eye on it, its destructive power is too strong."

  "Brother, you're so stupid! If you hadn't been ambushed that day, with your Dark Iron Bow, you could have shot it like a giant snake and exploded its head. It would have been solved long ago. Who needs me to come out? Don't worry, it's very obedient now, honestly serving as my little brother. In the Dragon Blood, it seems very satisfied, just like me, absorbing energy from the outside world through the Dragon Blood. Because I can absorb energy in the Dragon Blood, I don't need to eat anything anymore. However, if there's delicious food, brother, don't forget about me! Brother, when are you going to let me out to play? Little Evil is so bored in here!"

  Sheng Xie asked one question after another, making Ah Dui a bit dizzy. He replied: "There are too many people here, it's not convenient for you to come out. Let's find a place with fewer people and I'll definitely let you out. Little demon, just play with Gu Long for now, when there's an opportunity, I'll definitely let you out and accompany you."

  "Alright then, brother, I'll go fix that guy. Call me out if you need anything."

  A'Dai responded with a sound, slowly withdrawing his spiritual power from the domain of Shenlong's blood. Although they had only exchanged a few words, he already felt somewhat fatigued. In his heart, he secretly thought that it seemed his spiritual power was not very strong after all, and it had been a long time since he last meditated, wondering if his spiritual power had regressed or not.

  "Ah, so comfortable... I slept really well." Yan Li stretched his waist and woke up. "A-Dai, are you done with your training? You're really something, sitting for a whole day and night!"

  "Ah-Dai said in a low voice: 'Yan-Li big brother, speak softly, Yan-Shi big brother just fell asleep.'"

  Yan Li looked at the rock-like figure on the bed and said, "You've been cultivating for a whole day and night, big brother has been vigilantly guarding you. It seems like you're too tired. Let's go out for a walk."

  The two walked out of the room, their residence was in the backyard of the Magician's Guild. The yard was quiet with various plants and trees planted, the fresh air invigorated Ah Dai.

  "Ah, these two days, the people from the Magician's Guild seem to be very busy, coming and going, there are a lot more people than when we first arrived."

  "Perhaps it's because they've been on high alert since the sneak attack that day," Ah-Dai said, looking around cautiously. "Brother Yan-Li, once Brother Yan wakes up, we'll set off for the Empire of Sunset. I won't feel at ease until we find the Elf tribe soon; it's already been over half a year, and Queen Elfina must be getting anxious."

  Yan Li nodded and said, "Yes! The area of the Lu Ri Empire is not small, we're probably going to have to search for a while. By the way, Ah Dai, Big Brother and I found that when we left the Elf Clan, there was a mistake."

  "Ah-Dai was taken aback and asked: 'What mistake?'"

  Yan Lidao: "We forgot to ask the Elf Queen about the exact number of missing elves. Without knowing the exact number, how can we be sure that all the elves have been rescued?"

  A'Dai's heart skipped a beat, Ah! How can we ensure that all the elves are rescued without knowing the exact number? He hastily asked: "What should we do then? Do we have to go back to the elven tribe again? Not one of their people has been rescued, and I wouldn't dare return to see Queen Elfina."

  Yanli shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first, maybe the rescued elves will know the exact number? Even if they don't know, as long as we can rescue Princess Xing'er, the task is basically completed. As for other elves, we can talk about it later."

  A'Dai was about to say something, when two people came from the front yard. One of them was Kari, the president of the Magic Guild, and the other was a middle-aged man he had never seen before. The middle-aged man wore a white robe, simple but with an air of dignity, and A'Dai could sense a murderous aura emanating from him.

  Kari also saw Ah-Dai and smiled: "Ah-Dai, how's your injury? What a coincidence, I was just thinking of looking for you?"

  "Ah-Dai hurriedly said: 'My wound will heal, thank you for your concern, it's almost fully recovered now. What brings you to find me?'"

  Kari turned to the middle-aged man who had come with him and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Lord Orldos, the lord of Light City, who not only rules over Light City but also serves as the governor-general of the entire province of Light. Orldos, this is that young hero from the Tian Gang Sword Sect I was telling you about, Ah-Dai, he's a great benefactor to our guild!"

  A'erdosi looked up and down at Ah'dai, took a glance, and the young man in front of him didn't seem to have anything special about him. But after taking a closer look, he discovered that Ah'dai had an inexplicable aura on his body. The kind and honest feeling made him feel grateful, and he smiled: "Ah'dai little friend, thank you for helping Kari big brother! Otherwise, this Guangming City Master would have a hard time."

  "Ah, good day to you, Lord of Ordo City. I am also a member of the Magician's Guild, and this is what I should do. Moreover, the Assassin's Guild has killed my uncle before, I'd love to wipe them out."

  "Come on, let's go to my place and have a good chat," Kari said. Over the past two days, under Ordo's command, the entire garrison of the Bright Province had been moving towards the border with the Empire of Hua Sheng and the Empire of Lu Ri. At the same time, he also reported the attack on the Magician Guild to the high-level officials of the Empire of Hua Sheng. The current Emperor Lyle of the Empire of Hua Sheng was greatly enraged, but since there was no sufficient evidence to prove that the attack was ordered by the Empire of Lu Ri, he only commanded the garrisons of several provinces bordering the Empire of Lu Ri to be mobilized and ready to counterattack at any time. The entire army of the Empire of Hua Sheng had been greatly affected by the attack on the Magician Guild. Kari was not idle either. Over the past two days, he used his identity as the president of the guild to issue orders to various magician guilds across the continent, requiring them to gather and be ready to receive instructions from the general guild at any time. Although magicians were usually very leisurely, they relied on the guild's salary for their livelihood. When something happened to the guild, they naturally had to stand up and help. The entire Tianyuan Continent was also affected by the abnormal behavior of the Magician Guild, and the undercurrents that had been brewing for many years began to flow rapidly.

  Kari brought the three to his residence, although he was the president of the Magic Guild, but his residence was not very luxurious. The room was large, but there were no special decorations, only a large bookshelf, a table, a big bed and several chairs.

  As he entered the room, Ah-Dai was immediately drawn to the shelves of magic books, his eyes gleaming with desire. As a mage and president of the Magic Guild, Kari's collection naturally consisted of rare and precious volumes. Seeing Ah-Dai's interest in his collection, Kari couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, saying: "I have many rare editions here, Ah-Dai, if you're interested, you can take a look."

  Ah-Dai was initially delighted, but thinking that he would be leaving soon, he shook his head and said: "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. However, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to borrow it. Tomorrow morning, we will leave here for the Empire of Sunset. Today, I bid you farewell."

  Kari exclaimed in surprise: "What's the hurry to leave? Stay a few more days at the guild, I still want to find an opportunity to exchange magic experiences with you!"

  The foolish one helplessly said: "I also want to ask for your advice, but we have an urgent matter that must be dealt with as soon as possible, so I can only say sorry. By the way, Kari will grow up, did those assassins who attacked the union get caught?" His question suddenly made Orldos a bit embarrassed, "Those assassins are indeed cunning, my dispatched troops captured their trail, but those few dark magic practitioners were not weak, and they still managed to escape. The several assassins we caught also took their own lives." As soon as he mentioned this matter, Orldos became somewhat annoyed, nearly a thousand people blocked the opponent, yet in the situation of losing three hundred men, let five dark magic practitioners all escape, and the few assassins that were caught also killed themselves. If it weren't for his close relationship with Kari, he really didn't know how to explain this to him.

  Kari patted Aldos on the shoulder and said, "Those guys had a plan ahead of time, even if we catch them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything out of them. Dark magicians are rarely seen, their magic is indeed very powerful. However, you can rest assured that now that they've made an appearance, their days will not be easy from now on. I have already reported this to the cathedral in the city and the Holy See will take care of these blasphemers. I believe that after they escape, they won't dare to appear for a while. What I'm worried about is that we don't know how many dark magicians there are, if there are a lot, it will be difficult to deal with them. Apart from the Holy See's light magic, ordinary magic can hardly compete with theirs."

  "Ah-Dai asked: 'Will those dark magicians be from the Assassin's Guild?'"

  Kari shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I've never heard of a magician in the Assassin's Guild. After all, sneak attacks are more effective with those who have been specially trained and skilled in martial arts. This time they sent assassins at the level of ninjas, which makes me somewhat incomprehensible, I don't know if they underestimated us or did it on purpose. If I were the leader of the Assassin's Guild, I would definitely not send a magician, just let the assassins launch a sneak attack from the dark and retreat immediately, our magicians will surely suffer heavy losses."

  Aordos shook his head and said, "No, Kari brother, this assassination guild is more sinister than we thought. Think about it, if all the people who came to ambush us were assassins, how would the Huasheng Empire react? His Majesty would definitely be furious. It's common knowledge that the headquarters of the Assassination Guild is in the Luori Empire, and I don't believe the Luori Empire doesn't know their exact location. If His Majesty uses strong measures to demand people from the Luori Empire, even the Church won't protect them, after all, the Assassination Guild belongs to the dark forces. Under pressure, I think it's very likely that the Luori Empire will reluctantly sell out the Assassination Guild to us. The guild leader of the Assassination Guild must have thought of this relationship, so they asked the Luori Empire to send dark magic users to cooperate and let those magic users unify the command of the assassins. Attacking the Magic Guild in the Huasheng Empire is very dangerous, the Assassination Guild did it out of selfishness, that's why they didn't dispatch higher-level killers."

  A'ordo's ability to sit in today's position is not a coincidence, his analysis made Kari nod repeatedly, "Not bad, City Lord, what you said makes sense. If it's really like that, then it means that the Sunset Empire and those dark forces under him may not be of one mind, which would make them easier to deal with. Ah-Dai, you just said you're going to the Sunset Empire, what are you doing there? It's very chaotic there right now!"

  "Exactly because the Empire of Sunset is a dark force, we must go. Some of my friends were kidnapped by the Thieves' Guild and may be sold into slavery, and the Empire of Sunset is the most likely place, so we need to find their trail."

  "Aoluo Duosi let out a furious hum, 'This Luori Empire is simply a cancer on the mainland, almost all despicable things are related to them. It's really infuriating, I want to see how long they can still be so arrogant.'"

  Yanli asked curiously: "Since the setting sun empire is so abhorrent and a concentration camp of dark forces, why don't the other empires on the continent unite to destroy them?"

  Aordos glanced at Yan Li and smiled, "Young brother, you think too simply. If it were that easy to destroy, the Sunset Empire wouldn't be so rampant today. A thousand years ago, when the Church eliminated the evil Dark Magic Clan, the first Pope, God's Envoy, received help from many friends, among whom the founders of the Sunset Empire were the most important. So, the Church naturally protects them to some extent. Moreover, although the dark forces of the Sunset Empire are rampant, within their borders, there are also the most people who believe in the Church, which is a great irony. Therefore, the Church has always been protecting them. You should know that on this continent, only the Church can make the four major empires simultaneously wary. The region where the Church is located may not be vast, but their power is so great that it controls most of the continent, with millions of believers, as well as powerful Light Priests and Goddesses, and a small number of extremely strong Holy Knights. Who can contend with them? Our conflict with the Sunset Empire has been deep for some time, and usually, when there are minor frictions, the Church turns a blind eye and doesn't intervene. However, if the conflict escalates into real war, they will likely intervene. In overall strength, we may be slightly stronger than the Sunset Empire, but as long as the Church supports them, we cannot move, nor dare to send troops to fight. Who wants to offend the largest power on the continent? Moreover, the Church has been looking at us with disfavor for a long time. The people of our Huasheng Empire are self-sufficient and have no good feelings towards the Church's priests. If it weren't for the Sword Saint's prestige deterring the Church, they would have found excuses to forcibly spread their teachings long ago. So, we can only wait, wait for the Sunset Empire to take the initiative to send troops, and maybe there will be some opportunities."

  These complicated situations made Ah Dumb's head spin, and he muttered: "It's better not to fight, fighting will probably get a lot of people killed!"

  "Who wishes for war? But when it comes down to it, sometimes things are beyond human control. I suppose that's just the will of heaven."

  A'erdous said: "Ah-Dai little brother, I think it's better for you not to go to the Luori Empire for now. The border situation is so tense, and there might be a lot of trouble."

  "A'Doh shook his head firmly and said, 'No, we must go to the Empire of the Setting Sun. Don't worry, we'll be careful.' The Elf Queen's entrustment was something A'Doh would complete no matter what."

  A'erdous looked at him deeply and said, "General Feng Wenyuan and I have a good relationship. If you are willing to join the military, he can introduce you. In the empire, your future should be boundless!"

  "He? He's not suitable for the army at all! Ah-Dai is too kind-hearted, I'm afraid that on the battlefield, he won't even be willing to kill a single person."

  A'erdousi glanced at Yan Li and said, "Judging from your physique, you should also be practicing martial arts. If you're willing to join the military, I can arrange a good position for you."

  Yan Li shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not suitable for this. I'm used to a free life, if I were in the army, I would cause trouble for you."

  "Ah-Dao said: "Ordos City Master, thank you for your kindness, we really are not suitable to join the army."

  Aorde's mood didn't change due to Adai and Yanli's refusal, smiling: "Adai, I'm a bit older than you, so stop calling me 'City Lord' all the time, it's too impolite. Call me Uncle Aorde instead! This time you helped the Magician Guild, I'm very grateful. If there's anything you need in the future, come find Uncle, and Uncle will definitely help you."

  Kari muttered to himself, "You're a sly one, Orlodis. You really know how to buy people's hearts!" Before Ah-Dai could respond, he hastily said, "Yes, not only will he help you, but now you are the Guild's benefactor. From now on, if you have any difficulties, the Mages' Guild will also help you. After all, you are one of us, and the Guild is forever your home." As he spoke, he pulled out something that had been prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it over.

  Ah-Dai took a look and found it was a golden magic card, similar in appearance to his original red magic card, but with the symbol of the Magic Guild embossed on it. The card contained a faint energy, and Ah-Dai, who had studied alchemy with Goris, knew that this card was not made of gold, but rather a rare metal alloy. "Guild Master, don't say that, I'm not some kind of benefactor to the guild, if the guild is in trouble, I'll definitely help out... what is this?"

  Kari smiled slightly and said, "You can also call me Uncle. This card represents your identity as an elder of the Magician's Guild. There are already nine elders in the guild, and you are the tenth. In each branch, they will unconditionally help you whenever you need it."

  "Ah, I...? Elder? Kari will... Ah, no, Uncle Kari, how can I be an elder? My magic is really bad."

  "Of course you can," said Kari Seiro. "I and the other elders have discussed it, and although you are young, your magic that summoned the silver dragon is enough to qualify you for this position. I hereby formally confer upon you the honorary elder of the Magician's Guild."

  A'Diao still wanted to decline, but Kari's face turned stern and said: "If you don't accept it, it means you look down on Uncle and the Magician's Guild. Do you want to be our enemy?"

  Under Ah-Dai's helpless circumstances, he had no choice but to put the card away, and Yan Li beside him envied and said: "Ah-Dai, you're really lucky. How much is Uncle Card's monthly salary as an elder?"

  Kari smiled and said, "The elder doesn't have a monthly allowance, but because of the elder's high status in the guild, no matter where they are, with this ID card, they have the right to call on the guild's funds at any time, up to 10,000 gold coins."

  "What? 10,000 gold coins? I don't need that much money, just enough to spend is fine."

  Aorde looked at Kari with a gaze of approval, "Ah, a master is hard to come by! Being able to recruit a magician who can summon dragons will definitely bring great benefits to the Magician's Guild in the future." He smiled and said, "No one told you to spend so much money. What Brother Kari means is that as long as you need it, you can use up to 10,000 gold coins at your discretion. If you spend less, then just take less from the guild. As a gift for our first meeting, Uncle Aorde will also give you something." He took out a silver rhombus-shaped block from his pocket and handed it to Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai took it and saw that there was a seal character in the center of the block. It felt heavy in his hand, and when he brought it under his nose to smell it, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils, and he was moved to say, "This... this is fragrant silver!" Fragrant silver was a very precious metal with strong anti-corrosion properties, its effect even surpassing that of silver and tin. It could also emit a refreshing fragrance that could refresh one's mind. Many noblewomen's jewelry boxes were made from it, and the price was extremely expensive. This thick piece of fragrant silver could make several jewelry boxes.

  A'ordo didn't think that this young man was quite knowledgeable, nodded and said: "Not bad, this is a token made of agarwood silver, with my special mark on it. With it, you can enter and exit the border defense of the Huasheng Empire at will. Since you are determined to go to the Luori Empire, I think it will have some effect on you."

  "Two uncles, how can I accept such precious gifts from you?" Ah Diao said with embarrassment.

  "Even if things are precious and expensive, they're not as important as life. You've saved so many people, this is what you deserve. Alright, hurry up and take it."

  Yan Li nodded repeatedly, snatched the token from Ah Dai's hand and stuffed it into his own bosom, laughing: "I'll thank you two on behalf of Ah Dai."

  A'rdos stood up and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll leave first. If you need anything from me, just show this token and no one will stop you."

  After sending off Oldos, Kari had someone send a set of magic robes to Ah-Dai. The robes were also red, symbolizing the identity of a fire-element mage, but this set was special - the six-pointed star on the chest was embroidered with gold thread, and at each point there were inlaid red ordinary magic crystals. On the right shoulder, there were nine golden six-pointed stars, which symbolized the identity of the Guild Elder. Wearing this magnificent set of robes, Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel a bit awkward, but he couldn't refuse Kari's kindness either. Kari had originally wanted to let him choose some magic items from the guild's collection, but they were all refused by Ah-Dai. After all, he knew that his own magic level was not high, and having those magic items would be useless. The next morning, when Ah-Dai and the three others left, Kari personally saw them off at the west gate of Guangming City and gave Ah-Dai 100 purple crystals as travel expenses. Ah-Dai couldn't decline and had to accept them.

  Originally, Yan Li wanted to buy a few horses, but after studying the map, he found that the terrain from here to the Sunset Empire was complex and it would be difficult for horses to pass through, so he gave up on this idea. In this way, the three of them continued their journey to the Sunset Empire. The greatest gain for Ah Dai in Guangming City was not getting the title of Magic Guild Elder or the token of Ouluos, but using the Dragon's Blood to tame a Bone Dragon. The physical attack power of the Bone Dragon is much stronger than Ah Dai who doesn't use Shengshengbian, and it will become his greatest help from now on.

  Two days later, the three finally passed through the province of Guangming and arrived at the border between the Huasheng Empire and the Luori Empire. Looking at the endless military camps in front of them, the three were stunned. Yan Li exclaimed, "How can there be so many troops here? How are we going to get past this?"

  "It seems that the relationship between the Hua Sheng Empire and the Lu Ri Empire is quite tense! This should be the defensive army of the Hua Sheng Empire, looking at it, I estimate there are over a million people."

  Yan Li looked at Ah Dai and said, "No wonder the main city of A'erdous gave you a token. Without a token, it's simply impossible to get through the garrison."

  Ah-Dai took out the token from his bosom and said, "Then let's go, didn't Uncle Or say that with this token we can pass through the garrison of the Hua Sheng Empire at will?"

  Three people walked towards the military camp from the front, when they were still hundreds of meters away from the military camp, they were stopped by patrolling infantrymen. After Ah Dai showed the token of Ordos, the infantrymen recognized the origin of the token and did not dare to neglect it, so they hurriedly led them into the military camp.

  In the Imperial system of Hua Sheng, every ten people form a small team, every hundred people form a medium team, and every thousand people form a large team. Ten large teams make up an army corps, with a total of 10,000 people, led by the commander-in-chief of the army group. The 100,000 troops stationed here are the only army group in Guangming Xing Province, and their commander-in-chief is naturally Ouerdos, the governor of Guangming Xing Province. These troops can also be said to be Ouerdos' direct line troops, with the title of Guangming Tiger Army. Under the leadership of Guangming Zhihu Ouerdos, they have made countless contributions to the Hua Sheng Empire. They are the most powerful troops, second only to the Holy Light Knights led by Fengwen Tongling.

  Ordos was busy with the affairs of the Bright Province, so he wouldn't be commanding here. Temporarily taking his place was Westerner Sifel, the commander of the First Legion of Light, who held a viscount title. Sifel was cautious and good at defense, loyal and devoted, deeply trusted by Ordos. With him in command, even if the Sunset Empire launched a surprise attack, Ordos would still be confident that the enemy wouldn't be able to get close. The infantry led by Ah-Dai and others were stopped because they carried Ordos' token, and were treated as envoys from Bright City, directly reporting to the headquarters of the army group.

  Xī Fēi ěr zhèng zài hé qí tā jiǔ míng jūn tuán zhǎng yǐ jí jí tuán zhōng de yì xiē cān móu, jiàng lǐng yì shì guāng míng chéng lái le shǐ zhě, gǎn máng jiāng ā dāi sān rén qǐng jìn le zhǐ huī bù.

  The command center was a large tent, extremely spacious, with an area of over 100 square meters. As Ah Dai and the others entered the tent, they saw one by one the armor-clad, intimidating generals, and they couldn't help but feel a little frightened. They had only passed through this place, but didn't expect to be received by the commander-in-chief.

  Xifel stepped down from the main seat, looked up and down at the three people, Ah-Dai was wearing a thick magician's cloak, which made it impossible to see his appearance clearly, but he recognized the mark on Ah-Dai's shoulder, and was shocked in his heart. He hurriedly said politely: "Xifel has not gone far to welcome you, please forgive me, elder. I don't know what orders the governor has?" In his heart, he secretly wondered why the messenger hadn't made it clear who the visitor was earlier. The identity of the Magic Guild's elder is so revered that he should have personally come out to greet him.
