Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Guide
After buying the ingredients for the potion, Merlin went to the best restaurant on the street, ordered a plate of roasted unicorn lizard meat and two honey cakes, and ate slowly.
The business of the hotel is good, and most of the guests are second- and third-level wizard apprentices, and usually the formal wizards eat in the private rooms above the second floor, where the environment is better and the service is more considerate.
The wizards did not have the habit of eating and sleeping, nor did they have any sense of secrecy, and the communication between them was actually mutual communication, even if anyone noticed Merlin's actions, they would not be surprised.
However, in an open environment like this, the amount of information is a bit larger, and Mei Lin relied on her strong mental power to filter out irrelevant information little by little, and finally heard what she wanted to hear.
"You ask me why I didn't leave here today? Didn't you let those people in the Sun Hill make trouble? They searched the docks with great fanfare, and I didn't want to touch that moldy head. ”
"Yes, this is the territory of Sun Mountain, and it is rare to see them acting so flamboyantly, why?"
"This ...... Can't say. ”
"Let's talk about it, they are so flamboyant, sooner or later there will be news coming out, what's not to say?"
“...... Well, it's not top-secret information, it's just a joke. This time, Sun Mountain has a second fourth-level wizard, and it is better to say that it is a party to celebrate, but it is better to say that it is a demonstration. It's just that I didn't expect something to go wrong in the middle. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that someone had infiltrated Cumbre del Sol, as if they had stolen something. Anyway, this is Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, and the specifics are not clear. They are now on the docks and on the main transportation routes. All of them have set up cards, and ordinary people and wizards in the past have to be checked by them. ”
"If they do a mass search. I'm afraid I'll offend a lot of wizards, even if it's Sun Mountain, I don't dare to risk the wrath of the world, right?"
"Of course they don't dare, but they seem to have a special way of detecting the energy fluctuations of stolen items, even if they hide them in a storage bag, as long as that person falls into their eyes. You can't even run away. ”
"Shh ”
The two men who spoke stopped talking with some weakness as two wizards from the Mt. Sun walked in.
Merlin smacked her lips with some regret, but the most important things were already known. Now it's time to study how to leave.
If there was only one potion, she would definitely use it, but it was both a potion and a sunflower, and this method was simply unrealistic. Is it possible to bury them somewhere?
Merlin finished her meal with a heavy heart. On the way back to the hotel, I bought a map.
Needless to say, there are some major intersections, and as for smuggling...... That's still a province, this is the territory of Sun Mountain, and there are people watching it in the end.
However, no matter how dense the net is, it must have holes. After much deliberation, Merlin finally found a breakthrough - the Witch Spirit Mountains.
If the Cumbre del Sol is a paradise for wizards. The Witch Mountains are the hell of wizards. It is certain that Sun Mountain will not miss the inventory of the transportation arteries of the Witch Spirit Mountain Range, but the terrain there is too complicated, and if they really want to completely block it, they will have to mobilize all the people of Sun Mountain.
The Witch Spirit Mountain Range is still a bit troublesome for a third-level wizard apprentice, and after thinking about it again, Mei Lin still found the innkeeper over.
"My lord, what do you command?" the innkeeper stood respectfully in front of Merlin.
"I think the Cloud Witch Soul Mountain Range needs a guide who is familiar with the Witch Soul Mountain Range, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Wizard?"
The innkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Yes...... Well, there was a man named Lincoln who had crossed the Witch Spirit Mountains several times, but he had a high asking price and hadn't been in the mountains for years. ”
"Money is not an issue, can you help me contact him?" asked Merlin.
"Lincoln has a hound with me, which will bring guests to him if there is a business. The innkeeper said.
......
The footsteps of the setting sun paced towards the Witch Soul Mountain Range little by little, and the Witch Spirit Mountain Range at this time was bathed in gold.
A light carriage slowly drove into the small town of Minsk, which was only a dozen miles away from the Witch Soul Mountains. The carriage was very light, with only two wheels fixed to elastic brackets, and the wheels were large, the latest of the kind, with pure steel bearings, I-shaped spokes and rims, and soft wheel sleeves wrapped around the outside of the rims.
An oval-shaped soft canopy covers the entire saddle, which not only completely insulates the dust and wind and rain, but also gives the light carriage a very low-drag appearance.
There was only one horse pulling the cart, but it was faster than any other carriage on the road. Sitting in the carriage was Merlene,
Once in town, she let a hound down...... It was left behind by the hunter named Lincoln, and with his help, the guide would soon be found.
The innkeeper didn't tell her his exact address, which was the biggest trouble.
Minsk is a real country town, and there is not a single commercial street to be found here. The air here is very fresh, even the pebbles on the road are as smooth as if they had just been cleaned, and the roads are lined with quaint-looking houses, and the three-story houses here are considered very tall.
The sound of gushing water can be heard in the distance, this is not the seaside, Minsk is an inland town, next to a small lake that is not very large.
Suddenly, the hound barked in a hoarse voice, and the sound of the dog barking immediately broke the silence.
"Hey, keep your dog shut, if you keep going like this, you'll become persona non grata." ”
The window on the second floor of the roadside house suddenly opened, and a wrinkled face came out of the window, and after seeing the hound clearly, the old man's face showed a happy look: "Paine, have you brought a guest?"
The soft canopy of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and Merlin jumped out of the carriage, "Is that Mr. Lincoln?"
Seeing that a young wizard got out of the car, the old man's expression immediately became a little more respectful: "Yes, my lord, please wait a moment, I will get down immediately." ”
A moment later, the door opened, and the hound whimpered and pounced on the old man who had opened it, licking his cheek affectionately.
"Hey Paine, now is not the time to be affectionate, quick, there's still a wizard here......"
The old man pulled away the hound and bowed humbly to Merlin: "My lord, I am Lincoln, if there is anything to say, your carriage can be parked on the side of the road, there will be no thieves here." (To be continued.) )
