Chapter 722 Scavenging
Keli's question made Duoze silent again.
After a moment, the other party replied weakly in a low voice: "Lady Keli, going out to sea... is too dangerous for me."
Seeing that Keli was speaking, he mustered up the courage to defend himself.
"In fact, it's not just me. Almost all the third-level apprentices who followed Master Kaz chose to stay. When Master Kaz left, there was only one third-level apprentice and a few second-level apprentices by his side."
Keli sighed. It was everyone's own choice and she couldn't interfere.
At this time, perhaps because the carriage had been stopped for too long, the curtain was opened a little, and several pairs of eyes were hiding behind it and peeking.
Seeing this, Keli changed the subject, "What are you doing now? Working for Baidong College? Or have you joined a wizarding organization?"
"I am alone now. I am not joining any organization here. I am working directly for the Archaeological City of St. Paul. Those people behind me are the refugees I brought back from the border between Kerma and Knaas."
Keli raised her eyebrows, "Kidnapping people from the Principality of Kerma?"
Population is a big issue for every country. Doze, a second-level apprentice, should not dare to secretly abduct people.
"No, Lady Keli." Doze knew that Keli came from a noble family in the Principality of Kerma, and he quickly explained, "Small-scale wars have been breaking out between Kerma and Knaas in recent years, and the number of refugees and slaves has been growing. These are the people I bought from there, and I have obtained permission from the local lord."
Doze also showed Keli the license certificate hidden on his body.
Keli knew that Grand Duke Kira did not want the population of Kema to continue to decline, but she was powerless to stop the border lords from buying and selling people.
But Keli didn't understand, "Why does the Archaeological City need so many refugees?"
Obviously, the nearby towns have been emptied by the ancient archaeologists. Why are they still buying people? "I don't know about this. I am only responsible for sending people to the outer city." Duoze continued with his head down.
"Forget it. Don't think about it. The position of Marquis has been given to my brother anyway." Keli curled her lips and didn't want to ask any more questions.
"Then I won't waste your time. Go and get busy."
After saying this, Keli flew back to the big rock where she had just been meditating, and sat upright with her eyes closed.
Doze quickly bent down and bowed again.
Then he returned to the carriage and continued on his journey.
Keli's location was not far from the outer city of Archaeoster. After Doze continued on his way, he soon passed through the outer city gate and entered the outer city.
After entering the outer city, he followed his usual route to an office, found a third-level apprentice, handed over the items on the carriage to him, and received a small bag of magic mirrors.
Just before leaving, Duoze suddenly remembered Keli whom he met today.
The red-haired girl with freckles has grown into a beautiful young lady. If it weren't for the familiar fluctuations of his mental power, Duoze would not have dared to recognize her.
Although Keli's mental power was familiar, its intensity almost made him breathless.
Thinking that the other party had at least advanced to a formal wizard, while he was still a second-level apprentice, Doze's heart, which had been shrinking for many years, was suddenly awakened.
He gritted his teeth and stopped the third-level apprentice who was about to leave.
"Senior, we have brought in so many people, why don't we see them appear in the outer city?"
Unexpectedly, the third-level apprentice opposite him immediately turned gloomy and his kind smile disappeared.
"Why, are you curious? If you're really curious, I can let you take them there."
Duoze's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the destination of these refugees must be very complicated. He quickly smiled and said, "No, I just asked casually. Go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."
Doze was so scared that he left immediately.
The third-level apprentice who stayed in the office snorted coldly and watched him leave.
Doze thought about it before leaving, and ran to the trading center again. He used the magic crystals he had saved up over the past few days to buy a magic book.
Holding the expensive book that had passed through who knows how many hands, he thought silently: "I don't want to be promoted to a formal wizard, but a third-level apprentice should be fine, right?"
…
Thor picked up a tattered book from the dust and carefully shook off the dust.
This is a witchcraft notebook.
It also looks weathered.
Even though Thor shook the book very carefully, a few pages were still shaken to the ground along with the dust.
After leaving the small building where Wizard Jonah was, Thor did not immediately head towards Baidong College, but wandered around the college as if he was doing nothing.
Sometimes he would pick up some books left behind by wizards, like he was doing now, and sometimes he would stay in a room for a while.
The book he picked up this time was a wizard's magic notebook, hand-bound and very thick, but the magic mark on it had disappeared.
"Some experimental experience can be taken back to the newcomers in the wizard tower for research." Thor picked up the page that fell on the ground, stuffed it back, and then put it into his own storage device.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It seems that the radiation from the disaster that broke out in the inner city was quite large, and these simple witchcraft books and witchcraft arrays have been scrapped." Penny was also flying in the room, helping Thor find useful materials.
On the other side, Herman put down the glass bottles in his hand, turned around and said to Thor helplessly: "Master, the materials here are all contaminated and spoiled. They can't be used."
"That's normal. The protection measures for materials placed outside are generally not very good. Look for places like secret rooms. It's difficult to find clues in physical secret rooms through mental scanning."
Hermann nodded, then found a wall and crashed into it.
His spiritual identity was very useful at this time, and physical facilities without magic could basically not stop him.
Thor continued to look through the original owner's notes and books, but as he was searching, he discovered that these things seemed to have been tampered with.
The thickness of dust on the bookshelves varies.
"Brother Sol, Brother Sol!" Penny flew to a corner and suddenly flew back.
Sol thought Penny had made some new discovery, but he heard her excitedly say, "I found another living person!"
"Oh?" Thor became interested. "Where is it?"
Penny said: "There are two people, and they are consciously hiding their existence, so I discovered their dreams."
"Anyone who can consciously hide his existence is either a wizard like Jonah, but in better condition than him, or another intruder."
The defense of the archaeological city of Sterne is very strict, but it is also loose.
It relies entirely on magical circles for protection, with no human intervention. Once a wizard like Thor finds a way, he can find a loophole and get in.
"We are definitely not the only ones interested in Archaeoster. Maybe these people know what happened in the inner city."
Thor raised his hand and pulled back Herman who was running around in the house. Then he put away the nightmare butterfly, flew out of the room and flew towards the place where Penny found the living person.
Along the way, Thor deliberately restrained the fluctuations of his magic power and maintained it at around the second level.
His approach soon alerted the two targets.
But what surprised Thor a little was that the first person who came out to attack him was actually... a cat?
