Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 23 Seven...Fragile Order!

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Rex left.

The Iron Wall Caravan is still moving forward normally. According to their past experience, they will be able to successfully reach the mountain capital in four days.

During this period, Rorschach also integrated into the caravan very harmoniously.

This is of course thanks to the contribution of Clauser, the "brother-in-law". He really treated Rorschach as his own brother-in-law and was so enthusiastic.

Naturally, Su Xueqi would no longer be cold to Luo Xia as she did before. To the outside world, the two of them were clearly a young couple in love. They stayed together from morning to night and most of the time, without even any communication.

“This is probably the charm of youth!”

Claus looked at the two men's backs with great emotion, and said to a cousin of the same clan beside him.

His cousin beside him also nodded in agreement.

However, what they didn't know was that Luo Xia and Su Xueqi were not completely without any communication, it was just that they couldn't see or hear it.

As for the content of the communication, most of them were naturally about the circle of Water Blue Star Replacers.

Luo Xia had almost no knowledge of this aspect before, and although Su Xueqi was also a new replacement, she came from a top cross-border intelligence organization like Gui Tui Mo, so she had a very comprehensive understanding of this aspect.

With Su Xueqi's nanny-like popular science, Luo Xia quickly gained a more comprehensive understanding of the circle of replacers on the Blue Water Planet.

First of all, standing at the top of this circle are undoubtedly the seven official replacer organizations formed by the seven political bodies of the Blue Water Star. Most replacers are accustomed to referring to these seven official replacer organizations as the "Seven Majors".

For example, the official replacement organization of the ancient country of Dayan, named 'Yanlong', is one of the best even among the seven major ones!
Below the seven major ones, things become very complicated.

Be it the top conglomerates, aristocratic families, or underground organizations such as Guituimo and Gentlemen's Clubs that roam the gray world, they have already begun their own layouts!

In addition, perhaps due to the power of the Spirit of Origin, although the substitutes have different bodies in the two worlds and cannot arbitrarily bring things from one world to another world, any changes are synchronized!

For example, if Su Xueqi successfully merged the blood of the rock turtle in the Gray Domain, then she would be able to do the same on the Blue Water Star, there would be no difference.

This has also led to the undercurrents on the Blue Water Planet becoming increasingly turbulent.

If it weren't for the Seven Majors maintaining the apparent order, some of the Displacers who suddenly gained power would have caused chaos long ago.

Even now, there are occasional vicious incidents, but the Big Seven will do some cleanup work in their respective territories.

Therefore, ordinary people like Rorschach were able to be carefree as office workers before, without being frightened by these things all day long.

But this seemingly calm order is very fragile.

As the number of replacers grows, no matter how hard the Big Seven try to maintain it, there will only be more and more unexpected situations.

In particular, there are now some noises within the Big Seven, which believe that it is meaningless to maintain this false calm, and that it will be broken sooner or later, so it is better to start preparing for that day as soon as possible.

However, this is only the opinion of a small number of people and it will not affect the overall situation for the time being.

"Boss, if you don't mind people knowing Gray Domain's identity, you can actually consider working with the people from 'Flame Dragon'..." Su Xueqi analyzed for Luo Xia seriously.

But before she could finish her words, Rorschach interrupted her in his mind: "Do you feel anything is wrong?"

"Something's wrong?" Su Xueqi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Luo Xia suddenly asked this, and asked hesitantly, "Did something happen?"

"A-Dai seems to be a little irritable all of a sudden, something is wrong..." Luo Xia pointed at A-Dai under the two of them, his expression obviously looking a little serious. "A-Dai, are you referring to this gray-horned rhino?" Su Xueqi realized that Luo Xia was talking about the mount they were riding.

She really didn't see anything special about Ah Dai, and just thought of it as a common gray-horned rhino.

In the Storm Empire, there are about four or five common mounts, and the gray-horned rhino is one of them, which is very common.

So Su Xueqi didn't think much about it at all.

"It's not some gray-horned rhino... Anyway, you just need to know that it's very different. Since it looks a little irritable, it must have noticed some abnormal conditions that we haven't noticed yet."

Rorschach did not explain Ah Dai's origins in detail, but just let Su Xueqi realize that Ah Dai was very unusual.

After hearing what Rorschach said, Su Xueqi probably understood why Rorschach suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She felt it carefully and indeed realized that the mount named A-Dai beneath her was making a series of rumbling sounds!
"A-Dai, stop for a moment--"

This time, Luo Xia no longer communicated with Su Xueqi through his mind, but directly asked Ah Dai to stop first, and then said in a deep voice, "I think I know what's wrong..."

"Huh?" Su Xueqi still didn't find the problem.

Although she tried hard to find any abnormalities, she really didn't find anything wrong.

"What's wrong, brother Rorschach?" Claus, who was behind, saw that their mounts suddenly stopped and hurried forward to ask.

"Rorschach seems to be aware of something going on around here." Su Xueqi explained for Rorschach.

"Something's wrong? What's going on?"

The cheap brother-in-law looked around, bewildered.

"For some reason, we seem to have not moved since the beginning. We have been spinning in circles." Rorschach said in a heavy tone.

This was naturally the first time he encountered such a strange situation.

And if Ah Dai hadn't suddenly seemed a little irritable, he wouldn't have noticed this at all.

"We're going in circles?"

When Claus and Su Xueqi heard what Rorschach said, their reactions were very similar. After a brief moment of surprise, their faces suddenly changed!

It was obvious that the brother and sister had thought of something at the same time!
"Do you know what's going on?" Rorschach also noticed that their reactions were a little unusual and asked directly.

"No way, I can't be so unlucky." Claus' face turned pale.

Su Xueqi said solemnly: "If we are really spinning in circles, then it is very likely that we have encountered... a ghost!"

When the word 'spooky' was mentioned, Su Xueqi's expression was not very good, only slightly better than that of her cheap elder brother Claus.

"Ghostly?"

Rorschach was very unfamiliar with this term and it was the first time he heard it.

Su Xueqi also realized that Luo Xia probably didn't know about Yougui, so she immediately explained it to him. After listening, Luo Xia finally understood why the two people in front of him had reacted as they did just now.
