Chapter 451 Blue Water City
Blue Water City.
A very strange city.
It seemed to be quite wealthy, with some of its buildings rivalling those of the capital of the Principality of Kerma.
But it seemed very poor, and most of the magnificent villas were uninhabited.
On the contrary, the civilian area across the street was packed with people.
Judging from its economic income, it would not be an exaggeration to downgrade it to a town.
However, as a port city that once had a splendid historical and cultural heritage, its lord would rather maintain the original city-level tax scale than lower his own status and class.
In addition to the city lord, there is also a group of once wealthy people who have the ability to relocate but still insist on staying here.
But these rich people who live in three-story houses and large gardens may have cleaner pockets than the poor people who live in thatched huts.
City Lord Macken once again leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea with his wizard friends in the garden.
His friend said he was a wizard, but in fact he was only a second-level apprentice. He knew very few magic skills, and it was unknown whether he was a dropout who was kicked out by some wizard organization.
The second-level apprentice was named Caron, who was over 40 years old and lived in fear every day. Even the city lord McKen found it difficult to invite him out.
But since he has been invited out, he naturally needs to communicate with him. 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 teacup in front of him and took a sip, looking very pleased, and looked at Caron with a hint of flattery.
"You have locked yourself in your room for half a month. Now the shallow water roses are in bloom. If you don't come out, you will miss the blooming season."
Karon said nothing. He picked up the empty teacup in front of him and poured the solution he brought with him into it. "I have to go out for a while soon."
McCann was stunned and immediately asked, "Where are you going? How long will you be gone?"
Caron muttered, "I've run out of important materials for my experiment and need to go to the beach to collect some. By the way, how is the collection of black water snails going? I need a thousand of them."
The city lord's mouth twitched. The black water snail was one of the few profitable commodities they had left. He didn't expect that this Kalon wizard would ask for 1,000 of them.
But there is no other way. If you want to keep the other person, how can you do it without something valuable?
"I'll ask the butler to do the statistics right away."
Caron nodded, "Hurry up then, I have to leave tomorrow."
This wizard Charon goes out once or twice a year, and comes back in three days or half a month.
But every time the other party went out, City Lord McKen would get nervous, fearing that the other party would never come back.
The presence of a wizard, even if he is only a second-level apprentice, can solve many problems that ordinary people cannot solve. Moreover, what is the difference between a city without wizards and a village? When the city lord McKen was thinking about whether to buy something to strengthen the feelings of the wizard Caron towards Blue Water City, a steward hurriedly walked in and bowed deeply to him from a distance, which meant that there was something urgent.
The wizard Caron, who was sitting opposite the city lord McKen, naturally saw this scene. He picked up the white porcelain cup skillfully, took a sip of the unknown solution inside, stood up and said, "You go ahead, I'm going back."
Although Lord McKen felt sorry that the time he had to communicate with the other party was too short this time, he knew that unless it was a really important matter, the butler would not dare to come in and disturb them.
"What happened?" In order to show his trust in Wizard Karon, he asked without waiting for the other party to leave the garden.
"The soldiers guarding the city have sent news. A wizard has entered Blue Water City."
"Oh?" The city lord stood up suddenly.
Even the wizard Kalon, who was walking out, stopped.
"The soldiers guarding the city were about to collect a city entry tax from the other side."
Lord Macken almost jumped up when he heard this, "How dare he?"
The housekeeper quickly said, "After he saw a white mushroom moving on the other driver's head, he immediately returned the money."
Even the coachman behaves in such a strange way, so the person sitting in the carriage must be the wizard.
"What kind of mushroom is it?" Wizard Karon turned back.
"It is said that it looks like the most common white mushroom, with a little gray on the cap." The butler quickly turned to Caron and bowed again.
"White mushrooms?" Caron thought.
"Where is that wizard now? Do you know what he came here for?"
"He asked the soldiers for an address, so he should be heading there." Without waiting for the city lord or the wizard to ask, the butler told them the address, "No. 16 Haixia Street. Most of the people living there are from other places or poor locals. I have asked someone to check who lives there now."
The city lord nodded and nervously reminded, "Don't let them follow too closely, or they will think you are arrogant."
Then Lord McKen looked at Caron and said, "Master Wizard, should we invite him to come over for tea?"
Caron thought for a moment and asked the butler, "Is there any special mark on the car?"
But before the butler could say anything, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, what can you tell? Respectfully invite the wizard. But if he refuses, don't bother him. He should be at least a third-level wizard apprentice."
"Hiss——" the butler took a breath.
Lord McKen also wanted to, but he held back.
…
Thor, who was being talked about by the Lord of Blue Water City and the resident wizard, had already arrived at No. 16 Shrimp Street in a carriage.
He naturally noticed that someone was following his carriage from a distance, but he didn't pay much attention.
When the carriage stopped at the door, passers-by stretched their necks to look at this double-decker carriage, which was a means of transportation that only wealthy people could afford.
However, when people saw the mushroom twisting on the driver's head, they all showed expressions of fear and immediately left the alley.
Agu jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door.
After knocking twice, I heard the sound of hurried running from inside.
After a few breaths, the door was suddenly opened, revealing a familiar face.
"Who... who are you looking for?" Sander looked nervous and excited, but became stunned when he saw Agu.
At this time, Thor had just got off the carriage and turned his head to Sander and said, "Let's go in and talk."
After seeing Thor, Sander's expression turned into joy again, "Sir, you are here? Please come in!"
Thor nodded and stepped in.
The courtyard at No. 16 Haixia Street is not big. It is a bit like a separate space separated from other courtyards by a wall.
Thor's carriage couldn't enter the courtyard, so it had to park outside. The coachman waited in the carriage, and Agu followed Thor in.
They walked through the narrow courtyard and entered a small wooden and stone house with only two rooms.
I walked into the room and closed the door, and the room suddenly became dark.
Just as Sander was about to fumble for an oil lamp, he saw a soft light appear above his head, completely illuminating the room.
Then Agu walked forward, holding a water ball the size of a head.
The strange thing is that before this, Sander had never noticed that Agu was holding something in his hand.
In this clear, slightly flooded ball of water, I saw a terrifying little fish with a human face swimming.
"Oh no!" Sander was shocked at the first sight, especially the little fish, which seemed to have seen Sander's half face pop out of the water ball.
Although the fish quickly shrank back, it still scared Sander so much that he almost fell to the ground.
Agu raised his chin, "Why, can't you recognize it?"
As he said that, he raised his hand and threw the water ball into Sander's arms.
The water ball hit Sander's chest and rolled down his clothes. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold it.
There were only slight stains of water on the clothes, and the water ball felt icy cold when held in the hand.
The terrifying human-faced fish once again half of its body emerged and spit out a stream of clear water at Sander.
Sander stared at the mermaid, and the fear on his face slowly turned into astonishment.
"Mi, Miduoer?!"
Next chapter, at night!
I can't help it, I've been too busy lately. I'm in a hurry.
