In the end, the horses that Salin had sent his attendants to prepare were not useful.

The Andrei siblings who went to the magic tower to say goodbye to Master Kodiak talked about the content of the mission, and Master Kodiak thought about it, as if he remembered something, and asked if his carriage was still there, and after receiving Cassandra's affirmative answer, he asked Andre to take his carriage and use it.

Of course, the archmage's carriage is not an ordinary carriage, but an alchemy carriage equipped by the Arcane Order, the body is as light as nothing after constant alchemy and spells, and the cart is not pulled by ordinary horses but by constructed puppets that look like living horses.

It is said that this is the actual product of an elder who was obsessed with alchemy and mechanics in the early years, but because of the skill and cost barriers, it cannot be promoted, and the limited successful product was summarized after some research, and the manufacturing method was summarized, and more than a dozen vehicles were refined and distributed to the names of the elders of the arcane magic order, becoming the car of the archmage.

However, the archmages had their own means of transportation or various ways of traveling, and the speed and size of the alchemy carriage became relatively weak, so most masters did not like to use this kind of carriage, leaving them in the warehouse to cover them with dust, and only occasionally used them for very solemn and formal occasions.

Because Master Kodiak was interested in alchemy in his early years, he had also studied the disassembly of the carriage, so at this time he remembered that he still had an alchemy carriage in his warehouse.

But the speed of the alchemy carriage is a chicken rib for the master-level powerhouse, but it is a suitable means of transportation for Andre and others, of course, Andre will not be stupid enough to refuse the comfortable carriage to choose to ride a horse, and unceremoniously accepted the master's loan, and took the carriage out of the garage in the secret magic group.

When Lin An and John arrived, they saw a silver-white carriage like a small house parked on the wooden dock.

The main body of the carriage is silver-white metallic, and the agave emblem is the coat of arms of the master of Kodiak, and is made of various colored gemstones. In front of the carriage were two lifeless black horses, despite the appearance of sturdy horses. But the carriage was still very different in size from the small house in the back.

From time to time, people came and went in and out of the wooden stacks, and everyone glanced at the conspicuous carriage and the constructed horses in front of it as they passed.

However, most people did not stop to watch, because although this kind of carriage is not necessarily identical, there is still a clear consistency in the appearance and characteristics, even if it is not used often, but the old people who have been in the secret magic group for a certain number of years know that this is the royal car of the elders.

Andre in the carriage saw Lin An and John from a distance, and poked his head out of the window to greet Lin An, Lin An and John were the last to arrive, and the carriage started smoothly after boarding. Gradually faster, gradually becoming faster.

The huge body of the carriage is unusually smooth at high speed, and the scenery outside the window is swishing into various colored lines. The tea in the carriage was only slightly rippling, which made Lin An feel like he had taken the subway in his previous life.

The carriage does not need a royal person, and it is not the official road that runs, but the mountains and the water. Regardless of the mountain water, you can walk on the ground and run directly to the set destination.

It is very thrilling to watch a mountain crash into the car at high speed, but the gravity in the car is adjusted with the terrain, and there will be no roller coaster feeling when sitting inside.

Lin An secretly calculated the speed. It is speculated that at this rate, the water journey that originally took three days now takes up to half a day. More than enough time.

Only then did she have time to ask about the origin of the carriage, and Andrei explained why.

Salin had been intently observing the setting of the magic circle and the direction of the magic pattern in the car, when he heard the two of them talking, he couldn't help but interject and sigh:

"The carriage is cleverly designed and conceived. The complex process of magic circles and magic patterns gathered here is far from that of ordinary flying vehicles. What's even more terrifying is that they combine to a perfect effect!

Why not further reduce its shortcomings in speed and portability? Such a masterpiece should not be stored in the dust of a warehouse, and even the Kodiak master can't be further optimized? ”

André glanced at him, he had similar doubts when he first saw the carriage, but he didn't like it when others questioned Master Kodiak's abilities.

"How do you know that the later ones haven't tried? The carriage was designed by a master of alchemy and mechanical engineering, and the finished product seen now is the most perfect result of the master, and no one has been able to further optimize the carriage since the death of that master. ”

Salin heard Andrei's displeasure, smiled, and did not argue with him.

Lin An smiled and smiled, "I think the carriage is designed to be of such a size, not just for comfort, but for the needs of the magic pattern seal space, and this carriage has indeed reached a bottleneck at this point." ”

From the moment he got on the train, Lin An noticed the dense magic patterns and magic circles hidden in the seemingly inconspicuous gaps in the carriage, not to mention the cost of materials for the carriage, it was difficult for anyone to reach it in terms of alchemy level requirements alone, you must know that not all mages are proficient in alchemy and mechanical engineering.

Among the information books given to Lin An by the wardens, there is not much about mechanical engineering, and alchemy is still recognized and studied by most mages, and mechanical engineering has always been regarded by the mainstream as a deviation from the essence of the law.

There was a lot of space inside the carriage, and in addition to the main carriage, there was even a small bedroom and a small dressing room, which was empty, and it seemed that it had not been used at all since Master Kodiak got the carriage.

Lin An guessed that the designer of the carriage might have been a woman.

Although there are many male mages who have the quality of meticulous thinking, in the humanized setting of designing a dressing room in a carriage, in Lin An's impression, is generally only done by women.

The journey was not long, and compared to the arduous trek of thousands of miles while in the ice fields, it was a completely vacation-like journey.

The three mages extended their experience from carriage design to alchemy, and John's and Shiryl's, two warriors of similar level, also exchanged occasional exchanges on the side, and time passed unconsciously.

The speed of the alchemy carriage was a little faster than Lin An expected, and when the sun rose in the middle of the day, the carriage arrived at the west gate of Onda City.

The city walls of Onda are similar in design to Pompeii, of course, far less majestic than the imperial capital, but it is also a large city with a population of more than 300,000, and the walls are as high as ten zhang. The blue-black walls looked down on the ant-like people below.

Onda City is also a waterfront port city, the deep water river passes through the city from the middle, the downstream river that flows outside the city impacts at the bend, forming a ponding lake that eases the water potential, after years of impact, the lake is nearly 100 miles wide, the vast ocean is like the sea, it is the destination of Lin An and others Onda Lake.

The area of Anda Lake ranks eighth among the inland lakes of Balin, and the west bank is less than 20 miles away from the east gate of Anda City, and the fishing industry along the lake is developed. The fish caught are transported to the city for sale and transshipment, and a lively fishing market is often formed between the east gate and the shore of the lake. The outer city trade area of Onda City is concentrated in the eastern part of the city.

When you come to a city with people, it is inconvenient to run in a straight line and at high speed like on the road, and the constructed horse does not have the ability to distinguish the road, so in order to avoid being too high-profile to shock the world, Andre had to personally control the carriage.

The carriage entered through the west gate. The central gate was not opened, and a side door was opened on each side. There was a long queue of people on the left, and the door on the right was not crowded, and occasionally there were beautiful carriages entering and leaving, but the dragon of people at the side door on the left did not diminish in the slightest, and they did not dare to enter through this empty side door.

The carriage of Lin An and the others was huge. Even if the guards guarding the gate could not see that the horses in the trailer were puppets, they knew that the two huge carriages dragged by the horses and undriven were extraordinary, and they did not dare to stop them.

A noble carriage in the city gate was preparing to come out. The carriage had already entered half of the horse's body, and seeing the huge size of the carriage opposite, the coachman hurriedly drove the horse out to make way for Lin An and their carriage.

Andrei drove the carriage unceremoniously over, and the coachman breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the surprised voice of the owner in the car, he hurriedly turned around and explained.

"Where did this country aristocrat come from. Isn't there a basic sense of politeness? ”

The nobleman in the carriage was not pleased with the rude behavior of Lin An and the others without even showing their faces, and glanced at the window behind the carriage, and was startled when they saw the huge body like a small house, and immediately did not scold the coachman again.

But the coachman stammered, "No, no, master!" …… There was no coachman in front of the carriage! ”

……

Lin An and the others didn't know what was going on behind them, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

They arrived a day earlier than scheduled, and the luxury passenger ship where the auction was held would not leave until tomorrow evening, so they had about a day and a half to spare.

"Although it is the third time I have been to Onda City, the first two times I have passed by, and the other is for the mission, and it is the first time I have free time to stay here.

It is said that the fish here is famous for its 'cashmere ring', and the fresh supply of freshwater rivers in the imperial capital mainly comes from here. Why don't we try the river fresh food that is a specialty here? ”

It was just noon, and everyone was a little hungry, so Salin's Tiyì had everyone's support.

Because Salin came once when he was doing a pre-task, he was familiar with the way to a noble hotel called "Tulips and Beauty" in the business district west of the city, and stopped the car in the backyard.

There are also three or four aristocratic carriages parked in the backyard, but none of them are conspicuous by Lin An, the backyard gate is not small, and it is more than enough to accommodate two carriages in and out at ordinary times, but this time the doorman looked at the gap between the door edge and the car body that was less than a fist, and couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

The arrival of Lin An's carriage alarmed the innkeeper, and the fat man in a dress personally greeted the carriage.

Three men and two women walked down the open car door one after another, Lin An was ignored by Andre before getting out of the car, and a wrong eye was directly ignored, and the innkeeper saw their young faces and the robes of two of them, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

Seeing that the masters were so attentive, the servants did not dare to slack off, and a clever horse servant came up to lead the horse.

Andre stopped: "No need to lead, the carriage is placed here, and no one is allowed to come within a kilometer." ”

The innkeeper was not surprised.

It was a time of inaccessibility, and many of the merchants, who were more knowledgeable than the minor nobles, had long since noticed that the coachman's place was empty, and that the two horses in front of the carriage had been as quiet as if they had died since they had stopped, and had not even touched their furs.

Onda City is the closest big city to the imperial capital of Pompey, and mages are often seen in ordinary times. Their means of transportation are always bizarre, with winged skateboards, air-sprayed flying shoes, and carpets spread in the air...... In the eyes of ordinary people who don't understand the mysteries of magic, the carriage of the master's masterpiece is no stranger than the things that preceded it.

This aristocratic inn occupies a large area and has an interesting architectural concept, except for the splendid three-storey building of the main hotel. The large backyard is full of thick old trees. The old tree is not tall, the trunk branches are thick, the branches are made of wooden materials and vines to build a tree house, and the door of the tree house is connected to the bottom with a wooden ladder, which looks exquisite and beautiful, full of interest.

The five got out of the car, Lin An and John fell last, because of the neglect technique, everyone saw Lin An ignoring the past as if they didn't see it, so Lin An was also at ease.

Salin is also the first time to come to "Tulips and Beauty". The five of them listened to the introduction of the innkeeper and walked to a treehouse on a large tree under the guidance of a beautiful maid.

In a treehouse with a large tree behind them, a brown-haired young man in the clothes of a wealthy merchant opened the window and looked at the scenery condescendingly.

His location is relatively secluded. I couldn't see the situation in the backyard and Lin An's carriage, he was drinking alone by the window, and he didn't even need the maids arranged by the hotel, occasionally casually scanning the scenery outside, and the first glance of seeing Lin An and his party of five was just a glance. Then his gaze suddenly turned back, and a burst of surprise burst out of his eyes.

The young man followed the backs of Lin An and his party, and even stood up by the window until their backs completely disappeared into the cover of the trees.

Sighing as if satisfied and dissatisfied, the young man's jeweled fingers tapped on the lattice, "Go and find out where they come from." Especially with their subsequent trips. ”

The sand of the leaves on the side of the treehouse sounded as if in response.

On the other side of the woods, Lin An looked back as if he was conscious. Seeing only lush branches and leaves, John on the side asked in a low voice, "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”

Lin An shook his head.

Andre in front found a multispore mushroom that could be used to refine medicine in a tree mushroom next to a rotten wooden root, and learned that it was actually cultivated by the innkeeper, and he took a turn in the woods under the guidance of the innkeeper. Sure enough, more than one magical plant was discovered.

The backstage behind the owner of this inn is not small, and everyone walked around. Without asking too much, I chose a treehouse to climb on, the room-sized treehouse was quite spacious, and there was only a beautiful maid dressed in plain clothes.

Andre waved away the maid, and at this time, Lin An's neglect technique also failed, and the innkeeper couldn't help but light up when he saw Lin An's appearance, and when he came back to his senses, he was shocked again, and hurriedly apologized for his gaffe.

Everyone was used to this for a long time and didn't care.

The innkeeper was even more respectful, served them to order, and politely recommended a few signboards, and saw that Lin An and the others were not talking lively, so he retreated with interest.

Soon after, the innkeeper and the waiter arrived with the food delivery attendant, and the main ingredients of the dish were freshwater river fresh, and there were some magic plants in the auxiliary ingredients, which was quite fresh.

The innkeeper also brought a bottle of aged golden bottle of black wine chilled in crushed ice, and Andre frowned: "We didn't order this wine. ”

This innkeeper is well-informed and runs an inn, so he should not be unaware of the mage's habit of not drinking alcoholic drinks.

Andre was hearty and generous before, and when talking to the innkeeper, he did not have the arrogance and reserve that ordinary mages are used to, and his personality was easy to give people a sense of sincerity and purity, which made people unconsciously let go of their defenses.

The innkeeper was looked at by him, and was originally going to say that it was to make amends for his previous strength, but the answer that had already reached his lips was changed to the truth, "This is a distinguished guest who ordered this beautiful mage lady." ”

After finishing speaking, the innkeeper immediately woke up, wiped his sweat secretly, and said in his heart that he had looked away this time, these young people seemed to be tender-faced, but they were not just the second generation of Fa who relied on the remnants of their elders.

He has a lot of experience and knows that this kind of person is not easy to mess with, so he can't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and explain after confessing his guilt:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wine order from one of the host's distinguished guests.

This bottle of Golden Bottle Black Li Wine has been treasured in the cellar of the lower master for twenty-five years, which is just the most suitable taste for drinking, and it is said that long-term drinking can prolong the life span of youth and assist in cultivation. ”

The five of them were slightly surprised.

Of course, the five of them had heard of the reputation of Heili wine, and it was indeed one of the few wines suitable for mages to drink.

And many people who really know how to taste wine know that the average wine reaches its peak taste within three to ten years of brewing, and the value of a longer wine is reflected in its collection value rather than drinking.

Heili wine is an outlier, its efficacy and taste reached its peak for a much longer period than ordinary wines, and the recognized vintage is around 25 years, and it is considered to be the emperor of wines.

Even though there is no shortage of Heili wine in the cellars of those nobles in the imperial capital. But it is true that there are very few black li wines of this year, and they are extremely precious, so it is no wonder that the innkeeper can introduce them so proudly.

But except for John's alcohol, none of the people present were alcoholics, so they were not tempted, and their eyes were focused on Lin An, intentionally or unintentionally, and the innkeeper realized that Lin An, who had been neglected, was the dominant person in the line, and he had a feeling of surprise and naturalness in his heart.

Lin An remembered the feeling of being spied on before, and couldn't help frowning, "The distinguished guest of your master you said." Was you in the hotel just now? ”

The innkeeper's white face wrinkled for a moment before he said, "Yes, my lord." ”

He was a civilian. Even if he is worth a lot of money, for Lin An, the obvious upper class, he must be honored as an adult.

Salin, who was sitting in a seat across from Lin An, was playing with the silver knife and fork in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was not deep, "I'm not interested in the wine you recommended, but I'm very interested in the distinguished guest you mentioned." ”

He was smiling though. But it didn't make the innkeeper feel friendly, and the innkeeper, who had been wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, met his gaze, and suddenly froze, becoming chaotic and sluggish.

"Who's the one who delivered the wine?" Saleen asked softly.

“…… Yes, it's Lord Remus. The innkeeper had some willpower, and began to struggle slightly, only to obey as Saleen's mental bewitchment deepened.

"Who's Lord Remus?"

"A guest of honor for the host......"

Salin's voice shifted. Becoming a little hoarse and low, "Who is your master?" ”

But the innkeeper replied without any difficulty, "It's the lord of the city." ”

Lin An next to him looked at each other. The lord of Onda City is a son of a royal family who is highly regarded by the Emperor Alabham the Great, and he is born in a side line, and his bloodline is separated from the current royal family by three or four generations.

It is not surprising that "Tulips and Beauty" are doing so much in Onda City, and it is not surprising that the city lord is behind the scenes, which should be something that many people know. Otherwise, even if Salin had used Spiritual Charm, the innkeeper would not have answered so smoothly.

Andrei had thought that Saleen was too cautious. They came over in the alchemy carriage of Master Kodiak, and there could be no danger within five hundred miles of the imperial capital, from Lin An's previous question, they all heard that it might be Lin An's neglect technique that was caused by someone who saw through and saw his true face, but this was just a small episode.

It wasn't until he heard that the matter involved the city lord of Onda City that Andre became a little more serious.

Although they were not afraid of the city lord, the auction was held on the other party's territory, and if the city lord intended to do something, they were unprepared, and it might also make their task uneasy.

If the mission fails, and then trouble the city lord, it will still be more than worth the loss for them.

The temptation of spiritual demagogy continued, and Saleen's voice became deeper and hoarse.

"So, who is that Lord Remus from the city lord? What does he look like? Are you still in the hotel? ”

"I don't know. I heard my master call the master 'Master'...... He was a young man who looked very young and spiritual, and his status registered in the hotel was that of a traveling merchant...... But the lord had just left. ”

Lin An was originally lazily leaning on the handrail on the side, but when she heard the "master", she couldn't help but straighten up, and the others reacted similarly to her, almost at the same time.

Everyone looked at each other, they were all a little weird, and Andre grinned: "There are many 'masters', not necessarily the kind we think, maybe they are academic masters?" ”

But everyone knows that this is just a word of comfort:

The other party can see through Lin An's neglect technique, the possibility of cultivators accounts for ninety percent, and the remaining one percent may rely on strange object props; And there happened to be an underground auction held near Onda City, and the master who appeared in Onda City at this time was more likely to be an archmage than a scholar master.

Salin asked a few more questions about the "Lord Remus", but the innkeeper was either unaware or the answers were very marginal and could not help them determine the identity of the other party.

"Forget it, with his identity, I guess I can't know more. Even if the other party is an archmage, it seems that he is still kind - let him go. ”

Lin An said loudly, and the last sentence was said to Salin.

Salin let go of the innkeeper's mind control and used hypnosis to erase his memory.

When the innkeeper woke up, he was already under the treehouse, and he shook his head, a little dizzy in his head, and groped his way back in a daze.

The five who were still in the treehouse fell into a strange silence.

Thank you for the big pink vote! o(n_n)o~

Recently, there are some cards in the code word.,It's not that there is no plot.,It's the style of writing that makes me a little unbearable...... Khan, unconsciously, has the feeling of combining East and West, and is more and more deviant from the translation - although I don't force myself to write a strong translation, but the constant appearance of various idioms and ancient sayings is really tangled.

Hey, it's all because I've read too many ancient sayings recently, and there's no way, the Western Fantasy Book is in a daze...... Roll around and ask for recommendations!

Character Cards:

The owner of the inn - the owner of the "Tulip and Beauty" in Onda City, the owner behind it is the lord of Onda City who was born next to the royal family.

As for that Lord Remus, because his identity has not fully come out, in order to avoid spoilers, he will not write the character card first.
