The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
What kind of things can be found in a place like this?
Sean walked to the edge of the canal, where the water was flowing almost statically and also had a bad smell.
"Hey, are you going to take me with you or not?" The little witch behind him said with some dissatisfaction.
"Shh! Don't make any noise yet."
Sean made a pause gesture and squatted down near the market garbage to check.
Because as long as I look closely at these things in my sight, their attributes will still pop out...
【Household waste】
Even the classification is saved.
However, Sean also began to try to search with the wooden stick that the girl had used just now. If there was anything special in the garbage, he should be able to see it.
"What...did you find out?" Suddenly the girl squatted next to him.
Sean turned his head and saw her face. This time it was so close that he could see traces of the powder on her face being melted away by sweat.
"Nothing found!"
I threw the wooden stick away and searched around, but found nothing. It actually made my nose a little uncomfortable.
"When was the last time you found something? If it's been a while, someone might have taken it. Even though this is a garbage dump, you never know if there will be homeless people here. Maybe they'll see it and take it away."
It is not impossible to find good things from the garbage, but if a long time has passed, they may have been picked up by someone else, and there is no point in looking for them along the river.
But the girl shook her head.
"Impossible, that thing must not be discovered."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!" she answered confidently.
"Don't look at me because I'm smaller than you. I'm a witch... The things I can discover are impossible for ordinary people to discover." The girl simply stated her identity.
Wizards in Koga City are no longer so mysterious, unlike in the Telemian area where many people have never seen them. There are even special organizations in the city to provide wizards with daily expenses for magic props, which is already an open profession.
"You mean that thing is magical?"
"Well, it's not only magic but also very weird magic." The girl then told herself what she was looking for.
It turned out to be an animal, and it seemed to carry energy in its body. Some time ago, when she passed by Brucan Avenue, the magic props on her body suddenly reacted. When she chased it all the way, the thing had already jumped into the water.
"I've never seen anything react so strongly before. I think it's a monster."
"World of Warcraft?" Sean asked.
"Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"How should I understand if you don't tell me?" He retorted that Lucille had occasionally mentioned these common sense when she was teaching him, and she had also taken notes at that time, but the notes were left at Telemian's house.
"That's one of those... well, anyway, animals that carry magical energy. They're usually very hard to find because they can learn magic. Many high-level wizards bring magical beasts with them to help."
The girl's words reminded Sean of the crow in front of Lucille. He had seen the crow use magic at that time!
So that's how it is.
"I think I understand."
"Ah~ Do you know where it is?" the girl asked excitedly.
"I'm not sure, but if you really found it here, it must be hungry. There must be something edible in the garbage dumped from the vegetable market, so it must be looking for food."
Think about those stray dogs in the vegetable market, isn’t that what happens all the time?
"That's really pitiful," said the girl.
"Come with me, let's look for it somewhere else..."
With this clue, it was easy for Sean to find the target. Brucan Avenue was divided into several areas, and in the trade area near the canal, he only needed to find a few possible garbage dumping places.
Especially in poultry and aquatic areas, the dead poultry will be thrown into the river...
I don’t know whether Earl Hamilton has ever ordered the treatment of these sewage, or whether the citizens are just used to throwing it away casually.
The city of Koga looks prosperous on the surface, but there are various problems in secret.
Sean took the little witch to search for a long time but still did not find the magical animal she mentioned. They almost jumped into the river to dive to look for it.
"Still no."
After going around in a big circle, the little witch looked at the props in her hand worriedly.
It was a compass-like thing, with a mechanical appearance but no needle inside. Instead, it was a special water container with red and blue water droplets in it. It would not move when shaken normally, but according to the girl, it would react as long as a monster appeared within ten meters.
Seeing the little witch lowering her head in frustration, Sean walked over to the stall next to him...
"Give!"
When he looked up again, an apple was handed to him.
The state of [Happy!] appeared instantly.
"It's not that easy to find. You've been looking for it for so long and still haven't found it. Try looking a few more times and maybe you'll find it." Sean also squatted next to the little witch.
"You don't comfort me at all!"
"Really? I wasn't trying to comfort you."
Originally, I wanted to find the girl who sells peaches to ask about the peach saplings today, but I didn't expect to accompany this little witch for the whole day.
“Hmm…”
He puffed up his cheeks but still took a bite of the apple.
"What's your name?" Sean asked.
"You finally asked my name!"
"Huh?" He looked at the girl in confusion.
"They said men have to ask for names before they can tell me."
"Who are they?" Sean looked at the other party with some amusement.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you... My name is Igonia, what's yours?"
"Sean."
I looked at Igonia's eyes and looked at me...
"Such a common name."
"You're almost there..."
After that, the two fell silent again, and finally Ignia stood up first.
"Where do you live? Let's look for it together tomorrow." She took off her hood to reveal her long golden hair. Combined with her originally pretty face, she looked quite beautiful.
Not inferior to the previous Miss Alia.
“I may not have the time…”
"Then I can wait until you have time!" Igunya smiled.
"Scovey's," Sean said.
Igunya thought about it and seemed ready to leave.
"I'll remember that... and thank you for the apple." Then he trotted away.
However, Sean still saw the change in the other party's attributes...this [Friendly] has become [Friendly].
My favorability has been rising too fast recently.
……………………
After Igunya left, Sean returned to Scovi's store. Today, only Claude was at the front desk. When he saw him, he suddenly said.
"Brother Sean, someone from the trade market just delivered a letter. It should be from Thermian Town."
