Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

When Xi Sui'an and Zhong Heng entered the city, there seemed to be fewer guards at the gate, and the inspection was no longer strict. She looked up and saw that her search warrant had been withdrawn.

The city of Aurora rejected the search order issued by the mermaids.

Zhong Heng thought for a while and said, "It seems that the situation is indeed going to become complicated. I wonder if a fight will break out."

"No." Xi Sui'an thought for a moment, "The mermaids won't be that tough. I think they will choose to be gentle. As for the mayor of Aurora City... he has no ambitions."

She made this comment while thinking about the fox-eared young man with whom she had some dealings.

"That's not bad. Shall we go find Li Qing now?" Zhong Heng asked.

"No, the first priority is to have breakfast."

"..." Zhong Heng paused. He was obviously also a human being, but he still couldn't quite understand this strange guy in front of him.

She held the tide with one hand and pointed at the sky with the other: "The black market is closed at this time."

Li Qing can't run away anyway, so there's no need to rush.

They sat down in a random restaurant and Zhong Heng saw that she had ordered a bunch of dishes, which was far more than what was needed for breakfast.

"The tide will clear up." She touched the tide.

Chao Xi raised his tentacles happily: "You should eat more too."

Zhong Heng looked at the affectionate look on the opposite side from his master pet and inexplicably felt that he did not want to have dinner with her anymore.

The meal lasted several hours. Zhong Heng was very tired. He had never taken so long to eat before. He said irritably, "Hey, how long are you going to eat? Can you..."

"Shh, look." Xi Sui'an looked out the window with a smile on his lips.

He was startled, and followed Xi Sui'an's gaze, and saw a group of people entering the city in a low-key manner. The other party wore cloaks of the same color, and the leader's cloak was more special, with dark gold patterns embroidered on the edges. The breeze blew, and the silver-white hair on the chest of the leader fell down. The other party raised his white wrist and subconsciously tucked his hair behind his ears.

Only then did he realize that the restaurant Xi Sui'an had chosen faced the city gate, and leaning against the window, she had an almost unobstructed view of the outside. She was watching how things were going to develop.

"Those who came... are mermaids. So fast?" Zhong Heng frowned.

Xi Sui'an leaned back in his chair leisurely: "Aurora City is the largest city on the coast. It is also the city with the most frequent flow of alien races on the coast, not to mention the existence of the underground black market. These determine that Aurora City has an absolutely special status in the merman tribe who rely on business for their livelihood."

Of course they would not take action if they could avoid it. Of course, if they really had to take action, they would not hesitate.

I just didn't expect that the person who came was Ling Wei. It seems that the mermaids also have the intention of intimidating others with force.

"Let's wait."

“……”You’re here too early.

After a while, there were more and more sheriffs on the street, and she seemed to be thinking: Didn't they reach an agreement?

However, there was no sign of a decrease in the number of people in the afternoon. Instead, the situation seemed a little tense. She rubbed her chin and thought that it seemed that the negotiations were still going on, but not going smoothly.

By night, the City Lord's Mansion was ablaze with lights and faint music. It seemed that a banquet was being held and things seemed to have stabilized.

Zhong Heng had a wooden face, and felt that the person in front of him had great patience and was thinking a lot.

"It's almost time, we should go." Once they left, the situation in the Lost Sea would have nothing to do with them.

Xi Sui'an put on his hood and stretched: "It's time to leave the Lost Sea."

Go find Li Qing and find out what they have discussed. If there are hidden dangers and wars in the future, they must not affect the human race and the human world.

The shop called "Gold Rush in the Sea" is really easy to find because it is the worst shop on the black market. Looking at Zhong Heng's disdainful eyes and the fact that there are few customers, you can tell that the things sold there are probably rubbish.

The boss raised his eyelids and said, "Pick what you want to buy."

"Looking for Li Qing."

The boss was stunned, looked around, and led them to the back. They passed through a curtain of rippling water and entered a spacious room. There was only a simple long table, a dozen high-backed chairs around it, and rows of display cabinets against the wall, and they couldn't see clearly what was inside.

This looks like a stronghold.

Li Qing sat at the head of the table with his legs crossed, slowly flipping through a stack of papers, with no smile on his face. Hearing the voice, he raised his head lazily: "Are you here?"

Xi Sui'an noticed that he seemed unhappy, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Is the food in the City Lord's Mansion not tasty?"

Li Qing rolled her eyes: "I've never eaten such a disgusting meal." Ling Wei actually asked Vega to invite him to the banquet as well. Tsk, he wanted to be a spectator, not a supporting role in a big drama.

He paused and glanced at Xi Sui'an: "This time, the great elder of the mermaid tribe, Ling Wei, came in person. She is a big shot who is about to reach the ninth level, and the Lord of Vega is only at the eighth level. There is a whole level difference, so he had to bow his head.

This time, the mermaids did not interfere with Aurora City's independence and freedom, and also acknowledged Aurora City's objection to the search. The other party had only one condition, which was to allow the mermaid auction house to be permanently stationed in Aurora City. "

Zhong Heng sneered as he listened: "It's like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly seeping in."

Xi Sui'an listened and affirmed: "We will use both soft and hard tactics. If Vega doesn't want to break up with him right away, he will have no choice but to agree. For Vega, he has already made clear the current attitude of the mermaids. The time for them to settle in the auction house and establish themselves in Aurora is a buffer period for him. As long as Vega can reach the level of competing with the ninth rank during this buffer period, the situation will be different by then."

Li nodded lightly: "You are right. I hope the mermaids will take it easy." He sighed deeply.

"Forget it. It's none of our business from now on. It's more important for the little ones to go to school." He looked at Zhong Heng and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. You look pretty good. If you are within the aesthetic standards of Teacher Yi Luowen, he should give you an easy assessment."

Hmm? Yi Luowen also determines the difficulty of the assessment based on appearance? Xi Sui'an's face slowly darkened. So the source of her bumpy journey might be because she didn't meet his aesthetic standards? !

Xi Sui'an's fist hardened.

Zhong Heng had never heard of the name Yi Luowen, but seeing Xi Sui'an's darkening face, he intuitively felt that he was a very troublesome person. He sighed silently in his heart: Brother, why don't you come, I'd better go back to sleep.

Bo Yan gently refused in his heart: "No, I won't help you cheat."

"How do we get to Damocles College? Do we use the teleportation array in Aurora City?" Zhong Heng looked at Li Qing and asked.

"Of course, we're in a hurry."

Li Qing stood up and threw the documents in his hand back. The flying papers instantly burned into ashes and disappeared silently. He turned to the owner of the store and said, "Watch how the situation develops and continue to collect information. If there is any problem, we will relocate."

"Got it, Director." The boss nodded and said goodbye with a smile, "Go back and train your junior students well."

Li chuckled and led Xi Sui'an and Zhong Heng across the water curtain. He lazily raised his hand to indicate that he understood.

Li Qing led them towards the city center. He looked at the people coming and going and said, "There are many ways to travel, but the most convenient one is the teleportation array. We have to thank Vega for that. Fortunately, he is an alchemist and built a large long-distance teleportation array for Aurora, otherwise we would have missed it."

Xi Sui'an pondered, and thought to himself: "Does the bigger the teleportation array, the farther the distance?"

The system shook: "Yes, the size will affect the transmission distance, and the degree of precision will affect the stability of the transmission."

She felt she understood a little bit.

A square with a diameter of about half a mile in the center of the city was slightly sunken by two steps. The intricate lines on the ground outlined a huge formation. The points and corners were inlaid with different alchemical materials in an orderly manner. Rays of light converged in mid-air, forming a tangible and intangible armillary sphere that was constantly turning.

He walked to the entrance of the small square, took out a bag and threw it to the staff, saying calmly: "Three people, not returning to the city."

The staff handed him three coin-like objects, and he turned around and threw them accurately into the hands of Xi Sui'an and Zhong Heng.

Only then did Xi Sui'an realize that the coin in his hand was an overall bluish-black color. Not much could be seen on the surface, but when he rubbed it with his fingertips, he could feel many lines on it.

"This is a meteorite, which contains the power of the stars. This teleportation array will rely on it to build corresponding connections and achieve accurate transmission." Zhong Heng explained to her seeing that she was a little curious. He had to show some concern for the little bumpkin when she came to the city.

Xi Sui'an didn't know what Zhong Heng was thinking, so he nodded and understood a little. It turned out that this thing was just an alternative train ticket.

They followed Li Qing to the center of the formation. The coins in their hands lit up silver-blue, as if a small living snake was swimming. The silver-blue light intersected with the light of the armillary sphere. Soon, it stood still at an angle and emitted a fierce light. The formation on the ground lit up at the same time in an instant, and the three of them disappeared into the teleportation formation.
