Chapter 129: Modu
"You want to go to Modu?"
Hua Mi thought to herself, isn't this a coincidence? We can just catch a ride.
I was still thinking about how to speak to her.
"Princess Karen's coming-of-age ceremony will be in a few days, and I was invited to the banquet." Alais glanced at him, seeming to guess what he was thinking, and said lightly: "I just left the Emerald City and I haven’t severed previous interpersonal relationships.”
Uh, that’s right.
She was only deprived of the title of "Glimmer" within the elves, but she was actually still the famous master of architectural design, and this had not changed.
"I think, given the princess's beauty-loving character, your mandarin honey would be a good gift."
Alais thought about it and offered to buy him a few bottles of mandarin honey as a birthday gift for the princess.
Of course Hua Mi would not ask for her money.
I gave her 5 bottles directly.
"Just use it as travel expenses." Hua Mi vowed: "To tell you the truth, I am not good at learning languages. I may never master the centaur language in this life, so if I want to use the centaur portal, I have to ask you to lead the way. ."
Not just for this transmission.
There are also longer-term considerations.
Using honey to brush Alais's favorability is a very cost-effective way, and you will definitely make money without losing any money.
In the past few days, he has also sent some thunderbolt flower honey to the unicorn from time to time. Presumably the unicorn brother's favorability towards him has also increased a lot.
This is called honey diplomacy.
Honey is not just a business for him, but a strategic resource.
He wasn't just content with making a lot of money.
Money is, after all, an external possession.
As the saying goes, the most painful thing in life is when someone dies without spending all the money.
This magical world has infinite possibilities for him, and he must explore and harvest as much as possible to continuously supplement himself.
Just use the Black Forest as your base, rely on beekeeping and farming, and grow a patch of sky.
...
Before the trip, I gave the eight little ones some warnings as usual.
When the fake flower spirits heard that he was going to collect new nectar plants, of course they raised their hands and feet in approval.
Huajing Xiaobai wanted to go with him.
But Hua Mi asked her to stay and look after the house.
She didn't have any objections and stayed obediently.
Hua Mi packed up her things and came to the centaur's portal with Alais.
Alais stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone doorframe.
Then, he muttered something in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, the door frame lit up with light blue inscriptions.
Along with the "buzz" sound, a layer of gray mist also appeared in the doorway, like a layer of gauze covering it.
Alais glanced back at him and motioned for him to follow.
Hua Mi walked over and put his hand on her shoulders, then walked into the portal with her.
The two figures disappeared into the "gray mist".
...
Hua Mi's vision was instantly occupied by gray fog.
Apart from the fog, the only thing that could be seen was Alais walking in front.
There is no sense of weightlessness and squeezing that I experienced when I went to the City of Brass.
Everything feels normal and there is no loss of direction.
The soles of my feet seemed to be stepping on solid ground - even though I couldn't see the ground.
Hua Mi doesn't need to do anything, and she doesn't need to think about anything.
Just follow Alais.
Probably walked forward twenty or thirty steps.
The gray fog in his field of vision suddenly began to recede rapidly from both sides, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
When he came to his senses, he was already outside the portal.
The breeze blows on my face, bringing the fragrance of fragrant grass.
In front of us is a vast expanse of prairie. The sky is high and the clouds are light.
The grassland rises and falls like green waves.
The grass swayed from side to side in the warm wind, adding some liveliness to the static land in front of us.
They were standing on a higher grassland "bulge", looking at the great city in the distance.
The capital of the Kingdom of Tulum, Modu.
Not only is it the largest city in the Kingdom of Tulum, but its prosperity is also unique when looking at the entire human society.
From a distance, the city wall stands tall like an iron wall.
You can see some high-rise buildings extending beyond the city wall, revealing the tip of the iceberg, as if waving to passers-by.
On the other side of the city gate, caravans and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream.
The sky is also full of aircraft and flying monsters.
This level of excitement is far beyond that of a small place like Blackstone Town.
"The Misty Mountains...should be over there."
Hua Mi looked far away and saw the bulging mountain range in the distance.
But don't rush there.
He planned to go to the city first to buy some supplies.
Especially the "Misty Mountains Adventure Guide", you must read it before entering the adventure area to be prepared.
Hua Mi took Alais's aircraft and quickly flew to the city gate.
The entire area of Modu is prohibited from taking off without permission, so passengers flying in must land at the city gate. No matter how awesome they are, they must keep their feet on the ground.
Generally speaking, Modu is a very open city. There are only soldiers guarding the city gate symbolically, and there is no need to register or anything.
Passed through the main gate easily.
This officially arrived in Modu.
The architecture here is different from the style of Blackstone Town.
Most of the buildings in Blackstone Town have pointed roofs, but here they do not deliberately make the roofs pointed, and pursue beauty and individuality more.
"I'm going to the Duke of Weston's Palace next." Alais said to him, "The Duke's daughter is my friend, and I will live with her these days. What about you?" "Don't worry about me, the party is over
. I will go find you later." Hua Mi smiled and waved to her, "By the way, if you see a mage named Carter at the Duke's Mansion, please say hello to him for me." If I remember correctly,
Carter The Duke mentioned in the letter before was Weston - of course Carter is probably no longer in the Duke's Palace.
Hua Mi learned that in this world, although Duke is the highest title, it seems that it generally has no real power and is basically an honorary title.
And the Duke's daughter that Alais mentioned was probably the one who gave him the bellflower seeds.
According to etiquette, I should have paid a visit, expressed my gratitude to the person in person, and given some reciprocal gifts or something.
However, the purpose of Hua Mi's visit this time was to collect nectar plants, not to make friends.
Complete the first task first, and if you have time, it’s not too late to do the “optional branch”.
After separating from Alais, Hua Mi left the main road and walked along a street.
The first priority was to find a bookstore and buy a copy of The Misty Mountains Adventure Guide.
Soon, Hua Mi found a small bookstore on the roadside.
Walk in and ask the boss if he has the "Misty Mountains Adventure Guide".
"There is one copy left. This one has been very popular recently. If the customer comes one step later, I'm afraid it will be gone." The boss pointed out the location to him with a smile.
Hua Mi followed the boss's instructions and walked to the bookshelf over there, and sure enough she saw the book she was looking for lying alone on the bookshelf.
"It's better to come early than to come late."
Hua Mi picked up the book and looked at the cover, which was similar to the "Black Forest Adventure Guide" and had the same style.
This is normal, after all, they are all issued by the Adventurer's Guild.
Speaking of which, the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild is in Modu.
Clark must have arrived a long time ago, I wonder what his condition is now.
It must be very difficult for a vampire spawn to integrate into human society. I don't know how he plans to deal with it.
Hua Mi was thinking about something and was about to take the book to pay.
Suddenly a hand stretched out from beside him and snatched the book from his hand.
