Chapter 451 Blue Water City
Blue Water City.
A very strange city.
It seems to be very wealthy, and some of the buildings in the city are even comparable to the capital of the Duchy of Kema.
But it seemed very poor, and most of the gorgeous villas were empty.
On the contrary, the civilian area across the street was packed with people.
In terms of economic income, it is not an exaggeration to downgrade it to a town.
But as a port city with a splendid historical and cultural heritage, its city lord would rather maintain the original city-level taxes than lower his status.
In addition to the city lord, there are also a group of once-wealthy people who still insist on staying here even though they can afford to move.
But the pockets of these rich people who live in three-story buildings and big gardens may be cleaner than those of the poor who live in thatched huts.
City Lord McCann once again enjoyed afternoon tea leisurely with his wizard friends in the garden.
His friends said he was a wizard, but he was actually just a second-level apprentice. He also knows very little about witchcraft. He is a dropout who was kicked out by some wizarding organization.
The second-level apprentice is named Caron. He is over forty this year and lives in fear every day. Even the city lord McCann found it difficult to invite the other party out.
But since you have invited me out, I naturally need to communicate and express my feelings well. After all, he is the last wizard willing to stay in Blue Water City for a long time.
Mackenzie picked up the small white porcelain tea cup in front of him and took a sip. He looked satisfied and looked at Caron with a hint of flattery.
"You have locked yourself in the room for half a month. Now the shallow water roses have bloomed. If you don't come out, you will miss the flowering period." Karon said nothing, picked up the empty teacup in front of him, and poured in the solution
he brought. "I'm going out soon."
McCann was stunned and immediately asked, "Where are you going? How long will you be going?"
Caron muttered: "I have run out of important materials for my experiment and need to go to the beach to collect some. By the way, how is the recent collection progress of black water snails? I need a thousand here." The city lord twitched the corner of his mouth, that black water snail
is It was one of the few money-making products they had left. Unexpectedly, the Karon wizard opened his mouth and asked for 1,000.
But there is no way. If you want to keep the other party, how can you do it without having anything valuable?
"I'll ask the butler to do the statistics right away."
Caron nodded, "Hurry up, I'll leave tomorrow."
The Caron wizard goes out once or twice a year, and will be back in as little as three days or as long as half a month. .
But every time the other party goes out, Lord McCann will be nervous, fearing that the other party will never come back.
With a wizard around - even if the other person is just a second-level apprentice - he can solve many problems that ordinary people can't solve. And what's the difference between a city without a wizard and a village?
When the city lord McCann was thinking about whether to buy something to enhance the Caron wizard's affection for Blue Water City, a steward hurried in and bowed deeply to him from a distance. Urgent matter.
Wizard Caron, who was sitting opposite Lord McCann, naturally saw this scene. He skillfully picked up the white porcelain cup, took a sip of the solution with unknown ingredients inside, stood up and said: "You go ahead, I'm going back. "
Although Mayor McCann regrets that the communication time with the other party this time was too short, he knows that if there is no real big deal, the housekeeper will not dare to come in and disturb him.
"What happened?" In order to show his trust in Wizard Karon, he asked without waiting for the other person to leave the small garden.
"The city guards sent news. A wizard has entered Blue Water City."
"Oh?" The city owner stood up.
Even Wizard Karon who was walking out stopped.
"The soldiers guarding the city are about to collect the city entry tax from the other party."
Mayor McCann almost jumped up when he heard this, "How dare he?"
The butler quickly said, "He immediately returned the money after seeing a white mushroom moving on the driver's head."
Even the driver had such a strange behavior, and the person sitting in the car must be the wizard. .
"What kind of mushroom is it?" Wizard Karon turned back.
"It is said that it looks like the most ordinary white-skinned mushroom, with a little gray on the cap." The butler quickly turned to Caron and bowed again.
"White-skinned mushrooms?" Caron thought thoughtfully.
"Where is the wizard now? Do you know what he came here to do?" "
He asked the soldiers for an address. He should have gone there." Without waiting for the city lord or the wizard to ask, the housekeeper said that The address, "It's No. 16 Haixia Street. Most of the people living there are relatively poor civilians from other places or locally. I have asked people to check who is living there now." The city lord nodded and nervously warned, "
Let Don't follow people too closely, lest the other party thinks you are arrogant."
Then Lord McCann looked at Caron, "Master Wizard, should we invite the other party over for tea?"
Caron thought for a while and asked the butler: "In that car Are there any special marks?"
But before the butler could speak, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, what can you see? Invite the wizard respectfully. But if the other party refuses, don't pester him. He should be at least a third-level wizard apprentice."
"Hiss—" the housekeeper took a breath of air.
Lord McCann wanted to do it too, but he held back.
...
Thor, who was being discussed by the Lord of Blue Water City and the resident wizard, had already arrived at No. 16 Sea Shrimp Street in a carriage.
He naturally noticed someone falling behind his carriage in the distance, but he didn't pay much attention.
When the car stopped at the door, the pedestrians passing by craned their necks to see that this double-decker carriage was already a means of transportation for wealthy people.
However, when people saw the mushroom twisting on the driver's head, they all showed frightened expressions and immediately exited the alley.
Agu jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door.
Before knocking twice, I heard the sound of hurried running coming from inside.
After a few breaths, the door flew open, revealing a familiar face.
"You...who are you looking for?" Xander looked nervous and excited, but when he saw Agu, he became stunned.
At this time, Thor had just gotten off the carriage and turned to Sander and said, "Let's go in and talk."
After Sander saw Thor, the expression on his face turned to joy again, "Sir, are you here? Please come in!"
Thor nodded and stepped in.
The small courtyard at No. 16 Haixia Street is not big. It is a bit like a separate space separated by a wall from other courtyards.
Saul's carriage could not enter the small courtyard, so it had to park outside. The driver was waiting in the car, and Agu followed Saul in.
They walked through the narrow courtyard and walked into the wood-and-stone hut with only two rooms.
Walking into the house and closing the door, the house suddenly became dark.
Just as Sander was about to fumble to light an oil lamp, he saw a soft light appear above his head, completely illuminating the room.
Then Agu stepped forward, holding a water balloon the size of a head in his hand.
The strange thing is that before this, Xander didn't notice that Agu was holding something in his hand.
I saw a scary little fish with a human face swimming in this clear, slightly flooded water ball.
"Harmful!" Xander was shocked when he saw it for the first time, especially when the little fish seemed to have seen half of Xander's face pop out of the water balloon.
Although the fish quickly retracted, it still frightened Xander to the point of almost sitting on the ground.
Agu raised his chin, "What, don't you recognize it?"
He raised his hand and threw the water balloon into Xander's arms.
The water ball hit Sander's chest and rolled down his clothes. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold it.
The clothes were only slightly stained with water, and the water balloon was ice cold when held in the hand.
The terrifying human-faced fish emerged from half of its body again and spat out a stream of water towards Sander.
Xander stared closely at the human-faced fish, the fear on his face slowly turning into shock.
"Mi, Miduoer?!"
Next chapter, night!
I can't help it, I've been too busy lately. In a hurry.
