Doomsday Mage Summons the Undead

The heavy rain gradually stopped and the bright moon hung high.

In a blind corner of a street somewhere in Steam Town, Qi Lin's spiritual phantom clone suddenly opened its eyes.

"Let's go find the mayor."

Qi Lin moved his body and walked towards the mayor's residence at the southernmost end of the town.

Lao Jiu, who was wearing a tattered cloak behind him, followed suit.

The town is very quiet at night, except for the noise of some transportation vehicles, it is basically quiet.

Qi Lin felt that this should be related to the mayor closing the factory.

Of course, this also has something to do with Qi Lin's route of action avoiding some entertainment venues.

On the deserted street, Qi Lin and the undead walked leisurely on the street with few pedestrians.

At the corner of the street behind him, two knights of the Flower Guard, dressed in casual clothes, peered at Qi Lin and followed him.

Naturally, their actions cannot escape the detection of ghosts.

It can be said that in this town, except for a few places with magic defense traps that were not forced into by Qi Lin's order, basically all the disturbances could not be hidden from the detection of the ghosts.

"Master, those two are still following us."

Ghost Lao Jiu was playing with the dagger, laughing and asking Qi Lin who was walking in front: "The school said they are the mayor's people, do you want to kill them?"

Qi Lin, who was walking in front, was thinking about the connection between the mayor and Natasha. When he suddenly heard Lao Jiu's inquiry, Qi Lin instantly thought of the conversation with the ghost boss.

"Are you crazy?" Qi Lin suddenly turned his head and stared at Lao Jiu and said angrily: "They just want to see our details, and you want to kill them?!"

"Do you think I'm a murderer?"

"Master, Lao Jiu knew he was wrong." The voice of Lao Jiu, who was not well-versed in the world, trembled.

"My fucking anger has nothing to do with you!" Qi Lin gritted his teeth and spat out: "Old Shi, just find a quiet place for those two to sleep!"

The episode-like farce ended quickly, because Qi Lin came to the southernmost side of the town, a white house that looked like a church.

The house is surrounded by a variety of golden tulips in full bloom, as well as various wheat crops that don't seem to match.

This is the mayor's private residence.

Behind the high-rise glass windows of the white room, under the dim light, there is a figure holding a book and carefully reading it.

Maybe that's the earth emperor of this town: the mayor.

When Qi Lin stepped forward, he was about 500 meters away from the white room.

Put into the space ring by Qi Lin, the letter from the apostle Natasha to him automatically emerged from the space ring!

The letter automatically appeared in mid-air, swaying left and right like a compass, as if looking for something.

Soon, the letter pointed to the white room surrounded by various plants.

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, confirming that this letter from Natasha was indeed addressed to the mayor!

That is to say, the mayor does have a relationship with Natasha!

After the letter pointed in the direction of the recipient, it slipped into Qi Lin's hand covered by the cloak again, and once again became an ordinary letter.

"I hope this mayor can bring good news about the inn."

Qi Lin led Lao Jiu and strode towards the white room. As expected, he was quickly blocked by some of the mayor's guards.

"stop!"

A flower knight jumped out of the darkness. Just as he was about to pull out the standard steel sword, he heard someone shouting from a distance: "Be bold! Don't be rude to the guests!"

When Qi Lin heard this, he saw that he was the deputy commander of the Flower Guards. The deputy commander whose name Qi Lin could not remember walked out of the white room.

Qi Lin didn't have a good impression of these Flower Guards.

So when the deputy commander jogged all the way to Qi Lin, he took off his helmet very respectfully, made a ceremonial circle in front of him, and then bent down to salute.

Qi Lin didn't even look at him, he just glanced at the knight who just shouted out the word "stop" in anger.

At this moment, the knight saw the deputy commander's humble posture and knew that Qi Lin's status was extremely valuable, so he quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Qi Lin ignored him, didn't even look at the deputy commander, and just walked straight towards the white room.

I came here just to get information about the station from the town, not to punish criminals and eliminate evil, nor to show off that I was the messenger of the apostle so as to show off.

After the deputy commander saw Qi Lin strolling away as if he were entering his own home, instead of showing any anger, his expression became more respectful. He stood up and bent down, following Qi Lin from a distance, as if he was ready to accept Qi Lin's request at any time. Rin's order was to run errands for a guest whom the mayor said was extremely valuable.

Golden tulips bloom around the white room, beautiful and peaceful.

The appearance of the house is simple and exquisite, with immaculate white walls and blue curtains hanging on the windows, giving it a sense of tranquility.

Qi Lin approached the house, and he immediately noticed that strict defense measures were deployed around the house. Many guards were ready to protect the owner of the white house, either openly or covertly.

All around the house, ancient stone pillars surround the house.

There is also a wall around the house. Walking in through the door opened by two servants, Qi Lin found that the main road in the courtyard was paved with small stones. In this way, anyone approaching the house would make clear footsteps.

Qi Lin walked all the way into the house, surrounded by overt or covert guards as well as the gardeners who were walking through the courtyard and working hard to take care of the tulips. They all knelt on the ground respectfully, with their heads buried deep in their knees. They seemed to have obtained the gift in advance. Some kind of order, and I didn't dare to look at the sound of footsteps.

When he walked into the arched door of the living room of the white room, Qi Lin found that no one dared to look at him.

Pushing open the door, Qi Lin stepped into the room, the scene in front of him was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that the mayor's residence, which was not considered to be very popular in all kinds of information, should be extremely luxurious.

However, the fact is not only that, but it has gone to another extreme.

The mayor's living room is bright and spacious, with soaring ceilings, and the walls are covered with bookshelves filled with books of all kinds.

Qi Lin approached a bookshelf and found that the books here covered various fields of knowledge.

Among them, Qi Lin noticed many books on astronomy, astrology and sociology.

Rows of thick scrolls were stored on the bookshelf, their covers beautifully inlaid with gold edges.

Qi Lin pulled out a book, the pages of which exuded a faint fragrance of ink, as if they had personally witnessed the passage of time.

The decoration of the room is simple and elegant, like a huge library.

Elegant chairs and tables are placed between the bookshelves for people to rest and read.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows let in light and fall on the books, adding a mysterious and warm atmosphere to the entire space.

Opening a few books at random, Qi Lin was surprised to find that these books seemed to be about various fields of his civilization before the disaster.

Including enlightenment books for young children, as well as nine-year compulsory education, the weaknesses of human nature, and even selected works of Mao and so on.

Qi Lin looked around in silence and found several huge maps hanging on the wall, one of which was a starry sky map with the positions of various constellations and planets marked on it.

Judging from a star map that resembled a spoon, Qi Lin felt that it should be the Big Dipper?

It seems that this town is much more interesting than he imagined.

Another map records the social structure and population distribution of a certain place, as well as the timeline of historical events.

The maps illustrate the homeowner's keen interest in astronomy and sociology.

In addition to books and maps, the room also contains some ancient scientific instruments and astronomical telescopes.

The tiny sound of the clock's pendulum echoes through the room, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and concentration.

Qi Lin noticed that there were several photos hanging on the wall. The photos showed a man with a round face but smiling eyes full of wisdom and brightness.

Thump thump thump.

The sound of unhurried footsteps came from above the staircase next to the library, which looked like a living room.

Qi Lin turned to look at the red carpeted staircase.

An old man in elegant clothes came slowly, put his hands on his chest and said to Qi Lin: "Dear guest, please be considerate. The mayor has some physical inconvenience, distinguished guest, please come with me."

Lao Jiu, who was behind Qi Lin, curled his lips, as if he was dissatisfied that the mayor did not come down to greet the master in person.

Qi Lin, on the other hand, stepped on the red carpet without expressing her stance.

While walking slowly on the staircase, Qi Lin glanced at several locations in the library out of the corner of his eye.

There are several magic traps there.

[Trap]: Magic Perception Network.

【Quality】: blue.

[Status]: Inactive.

Note: This defensive trap can detect surrounding invisible creatures by emitting special magical sensing energy.

Once an invisible creature is detected entering the sensing range, the trap will emit an alarm signal to alert the trap setter or activate other defensive measures.

[Trap]: Bound by light and shadow.

【Quality】: blue.

[Status]: Inactive.

Note: This type of post-trigger attack trap uses the power of magical light and shadow. Once an invisible creature is sensed, the trap will immediately emit a powerful beam to illuminate the area where the invisible creature is located and restrain it.

The restraint effect will render it unable to move freely, giving the defender time and opportunity to respond to the threat.

[Trap]: Magic rock wall.

【Quality】: blue.

[Status]: Inactive.

Note: This defensive trap can quickly create a solid rock wall after being triggered, isolating the surrounding area.

If the target enters the trap range, it will be trapped within the wall and cannot escape or attack.

[Trap]: Magic incineration circle.

【Quality】: blue.

[Status]: Inactive.

Note: This type of post-trigger attack trap will produce high-temperature magic flames within a certain range after being triggered.

After the invisible creature enters the trap range, it will be attacked by fire and its position will be exposed.

The heat and clinging magic of the flames can effectively eliminate invisibility, allowing defenders to react quickly and take further action.

There are many similar traps in this white room.

This once again reminded Qi Lin that caution is the basis for surviving in this extraordinary world.

Interestingly, these traps were activated before Qi Lin entered the white room.

The staircase was not long. Under the guidance of the waiter, Qi Lin quickly arrived at the study at the top of the white room.

The mahogany double doors of the study room opened wide, exposing the contents inside to Qi Lin's eyes.

In the spacious and exquisite study room, dim light shines on the wall, casting warm light and shadow.

The study room is elegantly and tastefully decorated, and the bookshelves are filled with many ancient and precious books for most people in this world.

In the quiet atmosphere, an old man sitting in a wheelchair stood out.

The old man wore a gorgeous and traditional aristocratic costume.

Wearing an exquisite top hat, he looked like a magnificent gentleman, ready to welcome the most important guest in his life.

His hair was graying, and his delicate face was engraved with the marks of time.

His slightly cloudy eyes revealed wisdom and calmness, as if he had witnessed countless years of baptism.

The old man sat in an exquisite wheelchair. The seat of the chair was made of carved oak, and the soft velvet cushions made him sit comfortably.

On the desk in front of the wheelchair, there is an ancient porcelain vase, in which a tulip with gorgeous magic patterns is placed quietly.

The charming fragrance fills the study room.

When the petals unfold, they look like thin red threads undulating slightly in the night light.

The scent of tulips filled the entire study, adding a pleasant fragrance to the night air.

The old man quietly admired the tulip with a slight smile.

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the petals of the flower, as if he were touching a precious work of art.

His deep eyes reveal his love for nature and beauty and his cherishing of life.

The old man is the mayor.

He is also the emperor of this land.

This is different from the speculation of residents in the town who could not see the mayor.

No bags under the eyes, no rooms filled with naked grace.

There are no all kinds of weird props to satisfy your fetishes.

Some only have an old man sitting in a wheelchair, reading quietly behind a desk.

The old man looked at Qi Lin at the door, his eyes a little disappointed for a moment, but full of enthusiasm.

The wheels on the wheelchair made a faint rolling sound, passing through the carpet now and then, allowing him to move freely in the study.

"I'm ill and can't greet you from far away"

"I'm so sorry."

The mayor stretched out his hand to invite Qi Lin to sit across from the desk. At the same time, he tried his best to twist his disabled body, and gently opened the curtain of the window next to him. In the process, he waved his hand to stop the waiter who wanted to come forward.

The cold night wind blew in through the windows.

This made the old man cough uncontrollably.

Qi Lin was like a fledgling kid, without any greetings, he directly took out the letter, put it on the table, and gently pushed it over.

After doing this action, Qi Lin didn't say anything, just watched the mayor's reaction quietly.

And the mayor, after seeing the letter, once again showed a fleeting look of loneliness in his eyes.

The letter seemed to have lost its extraordinary power, and the mayor gently opened it for inspection like an ordinary letter.

This made Qi Lin, who thought he knew some secrets, a little disappointed, but that was all. What he wanted to know most was whether the mayor knew where the station was.

Time passes, that letter with only one page

The mayor looked slowly.

But Qi Lin didn't urge him, he still had some patience.

After a while, the mayor who had read the letter gently folded the letter in half, and then put it in his pocket with great care.

The mayor looked at Qi Lin with complicated eyes, remained silent for a long time, then turned his head abruptly to look at the moonlight outside the house.

Then, under Qi Lin's observation, he lowered his head and sniffed the carefully prepared flower on the table. For this flower, the mayor paid a huge price and invited the palace magic pattern master of the city lord of the Yellow Sand City to cultivate it. After years of cultivation, I have such a flower.

Just as the mayor bowed his head and sniffed, the shining tulip in the cup on the table.

In this late night of waiting for more than thirty years.

Scattered like pieces.

This is not caused by the wind.

It is scattered naturally.

The mayor's face also turned pale in an instant.
