"What?" The voice from inside seemed completely unaware.

"There's also a team of seven people showing up. I've seen them before. They give me the feeling of a well-trained army. Don't say you don't know them... How could someone you don't know try their best to save you, no matter how many alchemists there are?" Sean could only ask tentatively since he couldn't see the other person's face.

Occam inside paused for a moment.

"I really can't remember who it could be. It could be Marshal Owen's men, or it could be a secret organization of the royal family... or maybe someone from another country. Many people know about me, unless they see me in person!"

Seeing that the alchemists around him were looking at him curiously, Sean had no choice but to reply.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After saying that, he returned to the front of the team.

………………

Kimo River Town is indeed full of rivers. The accumulated water flowing from the nearby swamps surrounds the town all year round and basically cannot flow out unless it evaporates.

As a result, the land around the entire town is more or less flooded, like a wetland... It's not deep, but you can still see a moist green area in front of you. There are small bubbles coming out of a lot of the stagnant water, and you can see the skeletons of dead or discarded animals, as well as some floating dead fish.

"This place looks dead." Sean said as he walked along the road and looked at the surrounding scenery.

"Actually, the town is quite lively, but the swamp makes the outside of Kimohe Town look like this. We had the same feeling when we first came here. However, this swamp is a treasure for the local residents. There are not only fish and swamp beasts in the swamp, but also some plant medicinal herbs that are the first choice for alchemists to purchase." Rorschach introduced on the side.

Lewis City is a coastal city, and the vegetation coverage is not as much as that of mountain cities. In fact, most of the roads along the way are flat grasslands and pastures. The emergence of such a small town in Lewis City and the center of the imperial capital does provide a lot of natural resources.

The shade-loving vegetation in rainy days, or the frogs and crocodiles in the swamps, are all ingredients for the alchemists' special potions.

"So this town is rich?"

"It's okay, but the town can't expand because of the swamp, and if we leave the town and live somewhere else, there won't be such a good place to make money." Rorschach said helplessly.

"Then making money is useless, right?" The girl walking in the middle of the three people finally lost her sleepiness in this gloomy weather.

Although only five or six years old, Lucille was very sensitive when it came to making money. After all, she worked on a cargo ship, and her monthly allowance was only enough to buy clothes and snacks...

"No, these people are much smarter than you think. Even if they go to the city to enjoy themselves, they won't forget their work here. Part of the work is done by the workers!"

This is probably why a wealthy town looks as shabby as those towns deep in the mountains.

As he walked towards the town, Sean consciously glanced behind him...

Those seven people haven't appeared yet, but they should be behind.

If we don't take action even in this place, we will have no chance to take action when it comes to the jurisdiction of the imperial capital.

After entering Kimo River Town, Rorschach and Rachel were busy sending people around to ask if there were any hotels that could accommodate 200 people, or if three or four rooms that were not consecutive would be enough. However, the answers were all no. There were some hotels that could accommodate more than 30 people, but they were too far apart to be meaningful. In the end, the team decided to rent an open space near the edge of the swamp to set up camp.

Anyway, this has been the case most of the time these days, and Sean and Lucille are used to it.

As the sky darkened, Sean began to record the surrounding routes while watching everyone busy setting up camp. He began to plan a rescue plan in his mind, looking at the swamp deep in the pool...

Black water.

swamp……

There was also the cloudy weather that was unique to this area, and Sean kept picturing various scenarios in his mind.

But first, I have to send a message to those people to ask them to prepare for action tonight, preferably a little later, so that I won’t consume too much magic power when casting spells.

“Teacher, mentor…”

Before it got dark in the evening, Lucille bought some of her favorite dried fruits from the town and prepared to give some to Sean.

"Did you go shopping just now?"

"Well, this town is really prosperous. Although it is old, it has everything... There are more varieties than those towns I've been to before." Lucille basically worked on a ship before. She probably just walked through the port when docking. It can't be said that she has been anywhere. Of course, Sean would not take such words to heart.

"Teacher, what are you doing sitting here? Dinner is almost ready." The fair little hands tore open the peel and finally placed the flesh in Sean's palm.

"have a look……"

"look?"

"Look, this area is very humid. I guess there are all kinds of animals living in the swamp over there. I'm observing whether there are any magical beasts." Sean just said it casually, but Lucille took it seriously.

"Should we go look for it then?"

"It's too late now, and I guess there's nothing good here... maybe next time!"

Pat the other person on the head.

Just then a raven flew out of the swamp woods.

The sun had almost set when Saroyan and his companions hurried to Kimo River Town, and a red-eyed raven was hovering at the entrance of the town.

"You're finally here?"

Several people looked up in surprise, only to discover that the black crow, with only a pair of red eyes visible in the dark night, was sitting on the wooden sign.

"Your Excellency?"

"Didn't I tell you to act here?" Sean's body was around the tent at the moment. He didn't have much time to talk and didn't beat around the bush anymore.

At this moment, Saroyan suddenly looked at the team members behind him, because he had told everyone about this matter...

"Are you the wizard who wants to help us? But how can we trust you?"

"You guys are incapable of rescuing Occam!"

Sean does like to play charades on weekdays, but it is infuriating that he is beating around the bush when there are people waiting for him outside.

"Remember, I'll only say this once. When the fog rises, you enter the camp north of the town and prepare... The carriage holding Occam will be marked. You can take him directly and leave in your own way to a blacksmith shop in the south of the town. Someone will pick you up there." Sean said.

Then the raven's eyes returned to their normal color.

Ah~

With a cry, it flew out of the town...
