This place is much more prosperous than the places I passed before. The roads are spacious and clean, and the pedestrians around are well-dressed and wealthy.

The three entered a hotel for travelers to rest. When they put down their hoods to eat, the hotel attendants looked straight at them.

So are the surrounding guests.

The attendant quickly came to his senses, and said nervously to the three of them, "Dear guests, you are in Ante City, so don't show your appearance easily."

Emil wondered, "Why?"

The waiter seemed to be afraid of something, he didn't dare to say any more, he just served them food in a hurry.

They soon understood why the waiter had warned him like that.

Before the meal was finished, gorgeously dressed guards rushed into the hotel.

The leading guard looked around, and his eyes fell on the three of Mu Xing.

He was amazed for a moment, then his eyes sank, and he waved: "Take it away!"

Emir and Essia pulled out the short swords tied around their waists almost instantly, and they are already very fast in responding to unexpected situations.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

The guard didn't expect that the two weak-looking children were warriors.

But no one took them and their weapons seriously.

The guard's eyes were pitiful, but he said in his mouth: "We are from the City Lord's Mansion. Who doesn't know that in Ante City, beauty is the biggest sin."

Twin siblings: ?

They looked at Mu Xing.

Mu Xing quietly put down his chopsticks: "You decide what to do."

You can't count on him for everything.

Essia and Emil were at a loss for a moment.

As the elder brother, Amir calmed down and asked the guard: "Why do you say that? When we first came here, we didn't commit crimes or break city rules. Why did you arrest us?"

This made the guards laugh.

The leading guard sneered: "What a naive young master, where are there so many truths in this world? In Ante City, the orders of the city lord and his wife are the greatest truths."

He didn't seem to want to talk nonsense, and waved his hands: "Bring them to the City Lord's Mansion, and let Madam send them off!"

Hearing this, the twins glanced at Mu Xing again.

Seeing that the king didn't intervene or have any intention of speaking, the two looked at each other and met the guards who surrounded them.

The elves already have unique martial arts and magic talents, and the twins are geniuses of the elves.Their strength is not comparable to ordinary guards like the City Lord's Mansion.

When they fought against Carlos and his subordinates last time, their fighting skills were still immature, but now in actual combat, they seem to be in good shape.

Essia knocked the man down to the ground, and Emil chanted a spell, and several vines grew out of thin air, binding up all the guards lying on the ground moaning.

When the people around saw this scene, they exclaimed:

"It's a magician! It's a noble magician!"

Magicians are extremely rare in the human world and have a very high status.

Although Ante City is the main city at the end of the Sulan Empire, it is also one of the 36 main cities. There are only a few hundred magicians who are members of the Magician Association in the city.

The way they looked at Mu Xing and the three of them suddenly changed.

The guards on the ground were also terrified.

They dared to arrest anyone in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, but they dared not easily fall into the hands of the Magicians Association.

The president of the Magician Association of Ante City is a big man who even the city lord treats him politely.

Essia asked him: "Can we talk now? Why are we arrested for no reason?"

The guards who were quite stubborn just now begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, we are just obeying orders."

"Yes, yes, it is the order from the wife of the city lord, all the good-looking ones in the city will be arrested and taken away!"

The twins looked at each other, and Essia continued to ask: "Why did the wife of the city lord issue such an order?"

The guards looked bitter: "We don't know either."

The surrounding guests also spoke one after another:

"The mayor's wife used to be a very good person, but she hasn't gone out much in the past two years, and her personality has begun to change."

"We have lost many beautiful girls in Ante City, and they were all taken away by the City Lord's Mansion."

"I don't know if the mayor's wife is cursed."

Mu Xing heard Essia's voice: "Wang, what should we do now?"

It is a unique communication method of the elves, and other people cannot hear it.

Mu Xing asked her, "What do you want to do?"

After all, Essia is young, has a sense of justice, and likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

She replied: "I think there is something suspicious about it, as well as those girls who were arrested. I want to go to the city lord's mansion to have a look."

Mu Xing smiled and said, "Then do as you want."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three magicians spared the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

No one knew, it didn't take long for them to catch up with those guards.

Emir and Essia used the spell of confusion, making the guards forget what happened just now and their identities.

They pretended to be caught by the guards and sent them to the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is a huge castle, very magnificent.

Seeing the guards coming in with three people in cloaks and sending them to the place where the lady lived, the servants who came and went were not surprised.

The three of them were taken to a gorgeous room with a scarlet carpet, the windows were sealed, and only candlesticks like lamp beans were burning. The whole room was very dark.

The twins met the rumored wife of the mayor.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, with her face hidden in the hood, she walked in accompanied by a maid.

A maid approached the three of them and pulled down the cloaks of the three of them. The beauty of the elves could be clearly seen under the dim candlelight.

There was a gasp in the room.

The lady was also silent for a while, and suddenly laughed sharply: "It's really a charming beauty."

She pushed away the maid, saw Essia who was also a woman, rushed over, and stretched out her left hand to touch Essia's face.

Her left hand is actually very beautiful, but her complexion is extremely pale, as if she has not seen the sun all year round, and the temperature is extremely cold.

Athea took a step back.

"Why did you arrest us?" she asked, "I heard that you arrested many young and beautiful girls. Where are they?"

The mayor's wife seemed to be wearing some special magic tool on her face, and Essia couldn't see her clearly at such a close distance.

She didn't hear Essia's words at all, but stared at Essia with greedy and jealous eyes, and kept murmuring: "What a dazzling beauty. If I can have such a beauty, Hewen will Don't hate me..."

"Pick off your face and put it on mine..."

Essia felt the creeps.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand and waved away the hand extended by the lady of the castellan, and a gust of wind blew off the hood of the cloak.

The woman wrapped in a cloak is tightly dressed, with the collar reaching her chin.

She wears a strange mask on her face, which hides her appearance at all.

Essia's actions seemed to wake her up from a strange state.

She stepped back, put the hood on herself in a panic, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stop them and lock them up."

The maids rushed up, but Essia was even faster.

She took out a dagger from the storage ring, approached the mayor's wife very quickly, and put the dagger on her neck.

The maid exclaimed: "Ma'am!"

They found themselves unable to move.

Emil immobilized them with magic.

Essia subconsciously reached out, wanting to pull the woman's hat and mask.

"Don't...don't!"

The woman suddenly sobbed.

The lady of the city lord, who was still crazy and weird just now, shrank back and kept begging: "Please, don't take off my mask."

Essia's hand froze, she paused, she didn't continue, she just asked: "Then you have to tell me, why are we arrested, and where are the other girls who were arrested?"

However, the woman seemed to be terrified by her action, and her whole body softened, she didn't even care about the dagger on her neck, she collapsed on the ground, huddled up, and only knew to keep chanting:

"Don't take off my mask."

"Dont look at me."

"Please don't look at me."

She's not in the right shape.

A maid who was fixed in place suddenly burst into tears when she saw this scene.

She cried and said: "My lord, are you a magician? I can tell you everything you want to know, don't ask my wife."

The maid choked up and told a story.

There used to be a beautiful girl named Emily, the daughter of an earl, with a gentle and talented personality.

She fell in love with a young man from a down-and-out noble family, and married him despite the family's opposition.

The young man was very grateful and vowed to love her only in this life, and the two would be together forever.

The young man is ambitious and capable. With the support of the girl's family, he revived the down-and-out family, and at the same time successfully won the election for the seat of the city lord.

The story here is all about happiness.

But in the second year after the young man became the lord of the city, the lord of the city was plotted against by his former enemies. After getting drunk, his room caught fire, and his enemies wanted to burn him alive.

All the magicians in the city lord's mansion were transferred away, and no one dared to save people under such a fire, except the city lord's wife who loved her husband wholeheartedly.

The delicate noble lady rushed in desperately, carrying her husband on her frail shoulders.And before the house collapsed, she burst out with all her strength and threw her husband out.

She herself remained in the fire.

She didn't die, she survived under the magician's treatment.

But the whole body, except for one left arm, was scarred.

This broke the city lord's wife, but what really knocked her down was her husband's attitude.

The husband still respects her, but he no longer stays in her room and doesn't come to see her very often.

Later, the wife of the city lord smelled the fragrance of powder from her husband, and her maid met other beautiful wives in the city lord's mansion.

……

The maid cried and said: "Madam is already crazy. She always feels that it is because of her disfigurement that the city lord has changed his mind. Sometimes she hates beautiful women and orders people to arrest them all. After she wakes up, she is very upset." Regret my actions..."

"Those girls, the lady didn't hurt them, they were all locked up in a manor, and someone took care of them.

"

"Madam said that she felt that she would not live long, and told us that when she died, those girls would be released."

"She knew she was wrong, but she couldn't control her jealousy and madness."

The twins are young after all, and they are very angry when they hear such stories.

Essia's eyes widened: "How can your city lord do this? He promised his wife that he will only love her for the rest of his life!"

Emil was also angry: "Besides, the mayor's wife was burned to save him."

The mayor's wife is so pitiful!

Essia couldn't help looking at Mu Xing.

Can Wang help the mayor's wife?

After receiving the message from the twins, Mu Xing sighed in his heart: After all, he is still a child.

He looked at the wife of the city lord who was lying on the ground tightly wrapped, and asked, "You know very well in your heart that the fault of this matter is not in the beauty, not in those young and beautiful girls. People who really broke their vows and moved on , is your husband."

The woman froze.

Mu Xing: "You don't take revenge on your husband, but arrest those young girls to vent your anger. How long can girls have their youth? They are innocent, but they are wasted because of your jealousy and selfish desires."

The twins were stunned, at first they only felt sorry for the mayor's wife.

But now, after listening to Wang's words, he suddenly felt that it made sense: Aren't those young and beautiful girls even more pitiful?

And their family members, their beloved daughter was taken away for no apparent reason, and there is no news at all, and they are sad every day, isn't it pitiful?

They looked at the eyes of the mayor's wife, and suddenly became subtle.
