Chapter 166: The Shores of Larissa
The sky was gray, the time was in the afternoon, or rather at sunset, and black clouds drifted across the sky, obscuring the setting sun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The blue sea waves wash the brick and stone breakwater on the shore, and behind the breakwater with a little moss and shells on the outside, there is a small town built on a hillside, and the distance from the coast is about a kilometer away, and the altitude rises by dozens of meters, which is why the town looks as if it is sloping. It's about four or five kilometers horizontally, and it's not a big town.
The main body of the town built on the mountain is white, and the white brick and stone make up the frame of the house, this stone has the characteristics of moisture resistance, even in the humid environment of the seaside, it will not be easily decayed, and the blue house dome is not very large, although it is not a large coastal town, but it has a peculiar beauty.
This is Larissa, a small town in Greece on the Aegean side, and it's rare for travelers to pass through, but anyone who sees the beauty here will rave.
The town's inhabitants enjoy this quiet life, with the abundant mountains and the nearby shallow sea, which makes them self-sufficient, and the government has invested in the construction of highways from here to nearby cities, and in general there is nothing lacking.
During the day, some people go to the sea to hunt seafood, some people go to the mountains to collect mountain treasures, and some people go to the city to do business, except for the occasional passer-by, few people will spend money in this town, and because of this, although there is only one coffee shop in the town, it is often difficult to operate, after all, there are so few customers.
Due to the location, the owner has transformed most of the coffee shop into an open-air area, with white square tables and parasols, so that guests can enjoy the scenery of the sea while tasting freshly ground coffee, which is also a feature.
The problem is that the smell of the sea in the wind doesn't go well with the taste of the coffee, and although some people say they like it, most of the guests say they don't like it.
The shopkeeper had been troubled for a while, but he couldn't find a better solution.
I can only say that I will stick to some more days, count some days, after all, this store is left by my father, and I have collected some feedback from customers, maybe there will be a turnaround.
With that in mind, the first guest of the day came.
No, it should be two.
Although it is a happy thing to have a guest, he does not understand what the other party is saying.
The owner of the shop, a Greek, naturally spoke Greek, and the two guests were obviously from other places, wearing loess-like cloaks to cover their bodies, although the other party took off his hood when he spoke, so that he could see the delicate face clearly, but the messy English made him not know how to answer.
Damn, this is Greece, don't be English in all the countries of Europe, okay?
"Coffee?"
"Yes!" The guest raised two fingers and told the other person how much coffee he needed in a way that everyone on earth knew.
The owner pointed to the outside seat, and the leader replied with an OK gesture, and then walked out, the owner concentrating on grinding coffee, thinking that the idea of collecting customer feedback seemed to be about to be lost.
It wasn't long before the owner brought the hot coffee to the table outside, and the two guests were looking at the sea level in the distance, but he didn't say anything, put down his coffee and returned to the bar.
"Well, it's a wonderful feeling, the taste of the coffee mixed with the sea breeze, it's a new experience too, isn't it?" said the man who took off his hood as he took a sip of his coffee.
"This kind of thing... I don't really understand. The other, still wearing a hood, did not react as if he were an emotionless person, although he tasted the bitterness of the coffee and the smell of the sea breeze.
"Hawkers, take your time, don't worry, I asked you to accompany me here, it means that there is enough time to help you recover your memory, and this place is much better than the desert in Astra, there is no scorching sun, and there is no dry dust, hmm~ Smell this sea breeze, I just want the entire academy to move over, what a good place it is. ā
The conversation between the two suggests their identity, and there is no doubt that they are magicians, or rather, alchemists, of the Astra Academy.
"Speaking of which, it's deserted, and there's no sign of anyone else coming. After taking off the hood, what was revealed was his short blue hair, if it weren't for the appearance of a middle-aged uncle from the face, it is estimated that everyone would think that his blue hair was dyed.
What's even more mysterious is that his pupils are actually purple.
In comparison, another person with black hair and black eyes looked much more ordinary.
The people they were talking about were not ordinary people who lived here, but magicians like them.
"Whatever they do, I can't guess what those guys think about the sea, but since they said that the location is in the Aegean Sea, let's just come over, whether they like to go to the Mediterranean Sea or Rome, it's none of my business, anyway, in the end, King Solomon's treasure will definitely be in my hands." ā
"Is it the same even if the people from the Clock Tower come?" the blue-haired man asked, although he had lost his memory, but through the knowledge instilled by the other party, he still knew, maybe they were once equal in strength, but in the face of the current Clock Tower, Astra Academy and Wandering Sea were on the weak side.
"What are you afraid of, the one sent by the Clock Tower is just a vain guy, pretending to be a lady every day, but behind her back she is called a 'crane among ladies', such a guy doesn't need to worry at all, even if she is a very elegant lady, she must be a gorilla at heart. ā
"yes, since you think it's okay, then I won't ask any more. The blue-haired man took a sip of coffee and paused for a long time before continuing to ask, "Then do you think what Wandering Sea said is credible?"
"Of course it's not credible, even if it's not as good as when the Magic Association was established now, but the wandering sea wants to fully cooperate with us? absolutely impossible, I think there must be some necessary conditions to obtain King Solomon's treasure, they must not be able to do it by wandering the sea alone, so they will hype it up like this, otherwise, they will definitely swallow it themselves. ā
The letter sent to Astra Academy was different from that sent to other organizations, and it made it clear that Wandering Sea wanted to join forces with them against the Tower of Time and the Templar Church.
It's fine if it's a simple alliance, but the other party says that they want to join forces completely, share resources, share intelligence, and fight consistently, to put it bluntly, it's an alliance.
And if you are dealing with them, why do you tell them all this news?
As this one said, the behavior of wandering the sea is very suspicious, and the people of Astra Academy are not stupid, how can they completely join forces with these guys?
Moreover, as one of the few seven great alchemists in Astra Academy, Jacksey has enough self-confidence that he feels that his strength can completely snatch King Solomon's treasure in the competition, no matter what kind of magician the other party is, he has such confidence.
In other words, the Great Alchemist is the existence of the same level as the monarch.
Jack is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, but as early as a few years ago, he was already a magician in the color position, and such a magic level can be called the top in the whole world, so he is not worried about this aspect at all.
"Wouldn't it be better if I didn't come? ā
Jacksie waved his finger.
"Of course not, aren't you a magician from Russia? It's a bit of a distance from Russia, but it's closer than the desert of Astra, and wasn't the scope of your activities as a magician in Northern Europe? ā
"Greece is not Nordic, and I don't remember anything you said, I don't have that memory in my head. ā
It's a magical pair, one keeps saying that he has no memory, and the other keeps telling history he doesn't know, and it's not normal to think about it.
"Ah, look, there's a shooting star. ā
In the distance, above the sea, to the northwest to be exact, something like a meteor streaked by, leaving a scratch in the sky, which intrigued Jacksy.
In the desert where the yellow dust is blowing, you can't see such a scene.
Jacksey was happy, but the other lowered his head a little in a low voice, having said that, this is only a judgment made through actions, for him, the result of amnesia is probably that even his feelings are deprived.
"Okay, don't be so pessimistic, your memories will be retrieved one day, after all, what you remember is the reward we want for all the hard work we have worked so hard to resurrect you from a dead worm. ā
Jacksy's face had a ghostly smile, gentle on the outside, but there was something untouchable in his eyes like an abyss.
Finally, he said the other person's name.
"Dirty inkstone, no, Machiri Zorgen. ā
