Chapter Seventy-Four: Plymouth Harbour

Located south of London, on the edge of the British Peninsula and across the sea from continental Europe, Plymouth Harbour is a historic port city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once home to the shipyards of the Royal Navy, it was one of the most important ports in Britain from the 16th to the 19th centuries, with regular passenger liners to France and Spain, and now the people who live in Plymouth have turned this history into relics and opened a number of galleries and museums to commemorate the long history of Plymouth Harbour.

The city is divided into east-west strips, with gently rising mountains to the north and a large number of forests standing on top of the mountains as the background of the city, and to the south a vast ocean, through which you can even see the tiny continent of Europe in the distance.

Most of the city's streets are sloping and have a special architectural style because they are built on the slopes of a hill.

However, the hillside is obviously not suitable for the construction of railways and stations, so the train station in Plymouth is located in a plain area far from the city, and it takes about half an hour to get from the station to the city.

The train from Burnham slowly pulled into the station, stopped, and most of the people in the train went down, and the conductor ran out of the toolbox as he began to clean the carriage, evading the conductor through hypnotic magic, and then climbed out of the station wall with X Mordred.

To be honest, there are very few magicians who are so downtrodden, after climbing over the wall, Luo Wei did not leave immediately, but turned back from the gate to the inside of the station, found the monitoring room, and eliminated all the monitoring inside, and then secretly left.

As soon as he got off the car, Luo Wei felt the smell of the sea in the air here, which was completely different from London, even if it was far away from the city, Luo Wei could smell the fishy smell wafting in the wind, although Plymouth is no longer the main port, but there are still many people living here who rely on the sea to eat, so it has become people's daily work to go out to sea to fish and sell it in the market.

Rowe took X and Mordred out of the station some distance before finding a restaurant to enter.

Although Servants don't feel hungry because of their special physique, foodies like X obviously can't be viewed with the cognition of ordinary Servants.

Less than an hour after the train left Burnham, X asked Rowe if he could go out to find food, because it was a smuggling relationship, Rowe didn't let her out, but every hour the girl would ask questions, and it would be half an hour, ten minutes.

By the time the train arrived in Plymouth, X had already repeated Rowe a dozen times.

So the first problem that Luo Wei has to solve now is his servant's desire to eat.

Of course, to be honest, he himself was a little hungry, after all, Luo Wei hadn't eaten since last night.

said that it was a restaurant, that is, a general fast food restaurant, the standard configuration of hamburgers and fries and cola, and X asked for five set meals alone.

On the other hand, after ordering five servings at X, Mordred added one more, making a total of six set meals.

Luo Wei felt that this matter was not simple, and sure enough, when the father and son sat down on the table with the food, they looked at each other, and then Mordred put an extra set meal between the two, five sets per person, and whoever ate first ate the middle one.

Even if it is eating, you must not lose to your father.

Seeing through Mordred's thoughts, Rowe felt that the biggest enemies of his departure from the Tower were not Rhaenys, but the two servants he had raised, threatening his wallet.

Then X and Mordred started the game in front of the attention of the entire restaurant.

As a result, X ate five portions of the set meal before Mordred, and I have to say that although Mordred had the idea of competing with his father, the speed of eating was completely inferior to X.

In terms of the speed of eating, Mordred lost to X.

"Stupid rebel. Victorious X made such a declaration and slowly ate the last set meal in front of Mordred.

Mordred, on the other hand, clenched his fists and seemed to want to make a move, but in the end he didn't make a move, after all, what he just did was a decent duel, and if he lost and dwelled on it, it would be against chivalry.

Despite being a rebellious knight, Mordred is still a knight.

It's just a matter of putting the outcome to the next time.

As an ordinary person, Luo Wei just ordered a set meal, he is not very keen on this kind of food, just a little cushion his stomach.

After the three of them solved the stomach problem, Mordred asked first.

"Hey, Master, what are you doing here? This is at least a few hundred kilometers away from Kamran, right?" Mordred, who had been squeezing each other with X along the way, also knew that the train had gone a long way.

"Well, it's better to stay away, it's not easy to be discovered, and there are still some things that need to be done before the official war begins. As he spoke, Rowe took a piece of paper out of his pocket, but at the same time he noticed that he was still wearing the uniform of the Clock Tower.

Although the records on the monitor were erased, he forgot that he was still wearing the uniform of the Clock Tower, which is not obvious to ordinary people, or that the uniform of the Clock Tower is a bit similar to the uniform of a general university, but if it is accidentally seen by a magician, it will definitely be discovered.

So Luo Wei plans to find a clothing store to change his clothes first.

Thinking so, Luo Wei looked outside, and saw that outside the window of the dining room, an old man in a black deacon uniform was waving his hand inside, and it was Luo Wei who was facing him.

Rowe, who was a little puzzled, looked left and right, because of the relationship between X and Mordred just now, there was no one sitting next to him.

If there is anything that can determine his identity, it is undoubtedly the uniform of this clock tower.

Thinking so, Rowe looked at the paper in his hand again, which contained some information about the hidden stronghold that Romel had found him.

A downtown villa in Plymouth Harbour owned by a nobleman who lived in a castle on a hill.

If you connect the deacon in front of you with this master, does it mean that the master has arranged for someone to pick them up?

The unsure Lowe and X said hello to Mordred, respectively, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant together.

"Yes, Mr. Rovi?" asked the deacon as soon as he was out the door.

Luo Wei did not answer, he was not sure whether the old man was the servant of the nobleman, or maybe he was sent by the Clock Tower, after all, the one who recognized his clothes was either a magician or someone who knew about the magician.

"Oh, that's rude, I haven't introduced myself yet, the despicable man's name is Sauron, the owner of Lokmny Castle, the servant of Viscount Ash Lokmny, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Mr. Rowe Hidley from London, right? The old deacon introduced himself and identified himself as a way to dispel Rovi's vigilance.

Rowe looked at the note again, and it was exactly what was written on it.

"I'm Rowe Hildley, and I may I ask the castle master's servant why he is here?"

Seeing that Rowe was still suspicious, the old deacon was not angry, and slowly explained: "The master said that Mr. Rowe has come to Plymouth Harbour for the first time, and let me come to receive it, and there are already two young ladies who have arrived in Plymouth before, and I have already sent them to the villa." ”

Hearing this, Luo Wei was relieved.

The two young ladies undoubtedly referred to Miria and Messeri.

They set out from the Templar Church, and if this is the case, they must have come to Plymouth Harbour through the Templar Church, which means that only the people who know that they are here are the Templar Church, which is also what Rowe and Romel said, otherwise Lenys only needs to check Miria's movements, and everything will be exposed.

Since the old deacon can say this, then he must be someone from the Templar Church, or a related person, and there is no possibility that he is a spy arranged by the Magic Society.

"Thank you, Mr. Sauron, how long have you been waiting here?" As a courtesy, even if it was a servant on the other side, Rowe politely addressed him as sir, after all, he had sent Miria and Messery to the villa first, and it was necessary to thank him.

"It's good that Mr. Rowe calls me Sauron, after all, you are a guest and I am a servant, please come with me, and I will drive you to the villa. Then the old deacon led the way.

Walking through an intersection, a black sedan was parked there, still an extended version, with a body length of nearly ten meters, this was the first time Luo Wei had seen such a luxurious car.

Inside, there are still only four seats, but there are all sorts of things inside, like a small mobile bar, a bar, a freezer, wine glasses and a music box.

Rowe sat in the co-pilot's seat, and X and Mordred sat in the back, looking at the things curiously.

For the two of them, these things have never been seen before, and they are full of novelty.

The car was moving, the sun had sunk into the mountains, slowly setting towards the horizon, and counting the time, it took about an afternoon from leaving Camran to reaching Plymouth Harbour.

Although it is a famous port city, there are surprisingly few cars, and after driving some distance, the roads are all built on the slopes of the hills, which is much more expensive than building roads on the ground.

After half an hour's drive, the sun had completely set and the car had finally driven into Plymouth's downtown area.

During this time, X and Mordred were making trouble in the back of the car again, preparing to open the wine placed in the back of the car to compete, although Sauron said that it was originally for the guests, please enjoy it as you please, but Rowe still tried his best to stop them.

Just kidding, to let them drink in such a small space in the carriage?

X obediently did so, except that Mordred was not so easily convinced.

"Huh? Why?"

Rowe didn't know how to explain it, so he had to make up an explanation to deceive Mordred.

"If you drink that, you'll foam at the mouth, vomit everything you eat, and end up with a perforated stomach and you'll die. Although Rowe knew that this was all nonsense, and that it was possible to drink too much in a sense, he also pulled Sauron to prove that he was right: "You said yes, right? ”

Sauron glanced at Luo Wei, immediately understood, and then said slowly: "Well, it is true, because the master has a lot of enemies, so we have prepared some things in the car, if they run into the enemy, they can die of poison without defense." ”

Rowe didn't expect Sauron to do this.

"Then why did you let me drink it just now? I don't even know your master, do you want to harm me?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry, because usually the people who get in this car are the enemies of the owner, and I said so unconsciously. ”

Such statements made Rowe wonder if his master, Ash Lomini, was really an enemy.

Mordred accepted the statement and put the bottle down in her hand.

The car then remained calm and the sedan made its way through the city to the other side of Plymouth Harbour.

Sauron took the steering wheel and slowly parked the car in front of a villa.

It is very close to the city, and about less than 500 meters away, there is a place that looks like a market, and there is still a red light, which should be still open.

Rowe got out of the car and looked at the villa.

First of all, from the outside, there are three floors, the first floor is the same as the second floor is a general style structure, white bricks, square frame windows reveal light, the third floor is an attic, mahogany roof, the triangular windows are pitch black, a staircase leads to the main entrance, the bottom is made of stones, a small rectangular window opens on the ground, there should be a basement.

Big villa, at least much better than the squat single room in the Sidley family.

Luo Wei nodded with satisfaction, if there was such a residence, it would be convenient for them to move.

Sauron walked over and said, "Mr. Rowe, please rest first when it is late today, and tomorrow I recommend you to go to the port area for a walk, there is a very unique Plymouth culture, and the day after tomorrow I hope you will make time to meet my master." ”

"I heard that Lord Viscount lives in a castle in the mountains, right?"

Sauron nodded, and then explained: "The master has some things to deal with these days, and he will only meet the guests indirectly until the day after tomorrow, and ask Mr. Luo Wei to wait here for a day, and then the master will directly talk to you about the transaction." ”

Rowe nodded, in understanding.

The so-called transaction is that the Viscount provides a stronghold for Luo Wei and them, and Luo Wei wants to help the Viscount do something.

This is a normal deal, and with the Templar as an intermediary, the Viscount Lokemini should not deal with him.

After confirming this, Sauron returned to the car, X and Mordred got out of the back seat, and then the car slowly drove away, leaving the rest to Rowe to deal with.

Turning to look at the gleaming villa on the first and second floors, Rowe guessed that Miria and Messeri should be waiting for him.

"Is this your house?" asked Mordred, observing the villa with a curious look.

"Home.... Sort of it, a new home for me. With that, Rowe walked up the low staircase and knocked on the wooden door.

There was no response, which was strange, it stood to reason that there was a light inside, and Miria and Messery should not have slept.

The door was pushed, but it was not locked.

Pushing open the door and walking in, no one answered.

And quietly somewhat scary.

This alerted Rovi, who gestured to X and Mordred behind him, and the two servants immediately cheered up and looked around.

Luo Wei was the first to explore inward, and after walking through the hallway, there was the living room, on the right was a staircase going upstairs, and on the left was a door that led to the dining room.

Walking over and pushing open the door of the restaurant, Rowe saw two young girls.

Miria was on her knees, leaning on the table, lifeless, while Messery sat in her chair, looking weak with her eyes closed.

"Miria!" Luo Wei hurriedly ran over to help Miria up, the girl's face turned a little pale, and after being picked up by Luo Wei, her body reacted a little.

"Luo. Rowe?" Miria, who opened her eyes, looked at Rovi and said slowly.

"Miria, what's going on?" Rowe's whole heart lifted, could it be that this was a hoax, who had set the trap?

"First... Leave that alone. Miria grabbed Rowe's hand and uttered something that shocked the boy.

"Find something to eat, I'm dying of hunger. ”

"Huh?"

What do you say? He's dead?

In fact, there is no trap, and Sauron did not lie to Rowe, it is none other than Miria herself who really caused this situation.

The last time the girl had eaten was at noon the day before, after which she went to the Tower of the Clock to try her magic, and then Rowe found her in the afternoon, and took her on a run without eating all night, and then returned to Ermero's house, and Milia was also thinking about Rovi, and had not slept or eaten all night, and in the morning, after Rowe had negotiated with Leenys, he set out for the Templar Church, and took Messery with him to Plymouth.

After getting out of the car, Miria met Sauron who came to greet her, and after confirming the identity of the other party, Miria and Messery took Sauron's car to the villa.

Sauron then returned to the station to pick up Lowe, leaving Miria and Messeri in the villa.

Because it was early in the morning, Miria and Messeri did not eat, and it was already noon when they arrived at the villa, and Milia, who was a little hungry, was about to go around to buy some food, but found a serious problem.

She.... Didn't bring a wallet.

Of course, as a patient, Messery would not have such a thing.

Although the villa was the property of the viscount, he himself would not have come to live here, so there was no food here.

And Sauron is gone, and there is no way to contact him, so if you just walk from here to the station, it will probably be night.

In desperation, Miria and Messeri can only wait for Rovi to arrive.

Miria collapsed on the table because she had not eaten for a day and a half, while Messery fell asleep because she had not eaten for a whole day because of her weak constitution.

Knowing all this, Rowe burst out laughing in an instant, and was also attacked by Miria's punishment, which was weak but still powerful.

"What are you laughing at! Buy food. Then the girl fell asleep again.

On the side, Messery also opened her eyes, but she didn't speak, and it could be seen that she was also in a very weak state.

Rowe shook his head and picked up Miria and carried her to the living room, where she lay down on the soft couch.

Messeri handed it over to X, and then Rowe immediately went out to the nearby market to buy ingredients.

It was only when he arrived at the market that Luo Wei realized that he didn't seem to know how to cook, so he could only find some cooked food and buy it back.

However, the market is dominated by fish, most of which are still live, and the only food that can be considered cooked is dried fish.

Luo Wei had no choice but to buy a large bag of fishing rods to take home, and there seemed to be no better choice than that.

Before thinking about the Holy Grail War, it seems that there is still a matter of survival to be solved.
