Along the way, the snow turned into grasslands, and the grasslands turned into hills with tropical plants, after which the train went underground.

It was past six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Casali station. At Vane's suggestion, the group handed the notebook found in the cave at the bottom of the lake to the Guild staff, and gave a brief explanation of what had happened. But they didn't seem surprised by the news, which made several people feel a little strange.

Walking out of the Adventurers' Guild, it was still dawn outside, but the sun had already set in the west. At the entrance is a large wooden billboard that reads: Welcome to Casali, the Mariner's House is the place to be.

"The advertisements for this sailor's house have reached the Adventurers' Association. Felder shook his head.

"The Sailor's House should have something to do with the Adventurers' Guild, otherwise there would be no need for that monkey face to drag us to the Blackwater Inn. Vane said in a deep voice. It seems that Kane the Skinner, isn't omnipotent either.

"What's going on over there?" said Elena, pointing diagonally ahead. I saw a wooden sign standing next to the fountain in the center of the square, and a bunch of people crowded in front of it to watch something. Curiosity led several people to walk over that direction.

"The King's Bounty Order? What is this? Vane muttered to himself as he looked at the announcement on the wooden sign.

"Little brother, let me tell you—" A young man in his twenties next to him turned his head, and stopped abruptly halfway through his words. He looked at Vane as if he had seen a ghost, and ran away with horror in his eyes.

This man was strange, Vane shook his head slightly, and continued to look down.

"King's Want"

"Recently, there have been three murders in a row in the Beibu Gulf, which may have been committed by one person. The killer was a magician, with black hair and a northern accent. ”

"A reward of fifty gold coins is hereby offered, and those who know can go to the royal capital guard to receive payment, and those who know will not report the same crime as the murderer. ”

"Age of Magic, August 4th"

The announcement was signed with a scribbled name and a red stamp next to it.

"Vane, how do I feel like the person I'm talking about here is a bit like you......" Elena whispered as she stood next to Vane, a little worried.

"No kidding, Vane isn't alone in the dark-haired magician!" Felder said disapprovingly.

As the group continued to set out for the harbor, the conversation quickly shifted to the journey that was about to begin, and the bounty quickly made the episode quickly forgotten. About half an hour later, the group came to the port of the Central Bay again.

The port in the evening is another scene. The glow of the sun shines through the clouds, turning the sea red. The sea is sparkling and somewhat dazzling. There were far fewer ships docked at the docks, all of which were dyed orange-red by the setting sun.

A few seagulls perched on the railing of the pier and chirped softly, accompanied by the rhythmic rattling of the waves, everything felt peaceful and peaceful.

The door of the passenger ship ticket office in Port Casali was closed, and several teenagers stood in the doorway with their heads down, and the paper on the wall next to them was still the same as before, but it looked more wrinkled:

"Due to a storm at sea, the route in the direction of the Duchy of Lukan and the Kingdom of Divosk was suspended for three days. The words "suspended for three days" were crossed out, followed by "indefinite pause" in bold letters.

"What now?" Felder spread his hand, his expression helpless.

"Anyway, it's getting dark, so let's find a hotel as soon as possible and stay first. Elena said as she wiped the sweat from her head.

"Let's go to the Blackwater Hotel in the Beibu Gulf, which is clean and not expensive. Ace suggested.

After discussing it, everyone set off for the Beibu Gulf. Just after everyone left, a nearby guy wearing a men's wide-brimmed hat also left in a hurry.

Compared to Hebsel, Casali's sultry air was humid and uncomfortable. Soon Vane and his party had arrived on the wide Bright Street, where pedestrians of all colors walked between the two worlds.

At this time, there was something unusual in an underground casino in the Central Bay. There are no hysterical gamblers, no smoky air, and the usually bustling casinos become deserted.

"You're not as efficient as you used to be, Kane. If you are really old, I would advise adults to let you go home and retire. A man wrapped in a black cloak said. He sat in a chair, holding a staff of long sheep's skull straight on the ground with both hands, and his voice was hoarse and inaudible to his age.

The man on the other side sat calmly on the edge of the table, smoking a cigar in a muffled voice. His gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him look like a respected aristocrat. He squinted and took a large puff, exhaling a smoke ring into the air, and slowly lowered his right hand to the edge of the table, as if he was afraid of losing the gray ash. I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the people of the Beibu Gulf would be like this.

"I'm afraid you can't talk to that big man because of your status. Kane spoke, exhaling a faint cloud of smoke.

"You don't need to worry about this, what you need to care about is when you will pay for this month!" Black Cloak seemed to feel offended, and his tone became stern.

"How many children under the age of ten are left in the Gulf of Tonkin Tonkin?" Kane's face turned grim, and a long piece of soot fell to the ground.

"Then you don't want to get this month's gold. If you delay the adult's plan, think for yourself. Black Cloak's tone softened slightly, and he paused and continued, "What happened to the thing I asked you to do?"

"What's the hurry, has your missing subordinate returned? Kane said calmly, a smile on his lips.

The black cloak's face became a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Pay attention to your words, whether the business between us can continue depends on ......"

At this moment, the door of the basement was pushed open, and a young man ran in, holding a wide-brimmed hat in his hand, and said with a somewhat excited face: "Boss, the target has appeared!"

"Got it, you get out. Kane waved his hand.

After the door was closed, the black cloak spoke, "In short, no one should be allowed to influence your plans. No one else should be afraid, that magician must die, understand?"

Kane snorted lightly and said slowly, "It's time to close the net......"

It was getting dark, and in the narrow streets of Beibu Bay, Vane and the others were shuttling through the crowd, and the filth on the ground and the fishy smell in the air made Ace's face pale, and Simpson took the initiative to carry her.

It didn't take long for the group to come to that familiar street, and the door of the Blackwater Hotel was still so clean.

"It's finally here, and the rest of the Gulf of Tonkin is really unbearable. Elena let out a long breath.

"Sir, have mercy on me, my sister hasn't eaten for two days......" A teenage boy knelt at the door of the Blackwater Hotel, his hair was messy and sticky, and his thin face was so dirty that he couldn't see what it was.

Elena took out a few silver coins from her body, walked up to the little boy, bent down and said, "Take the money home and buy something for your sister to eat." ”

"No, I want that magician brother to give it to me. The little boy didn't know why his eyes flickered, and his body trembled slightly.

Vane felt that the situation in front of him was a little weird, but he didn't understand what was weird for a while. The little boy's pitiful appearance made him unconsciously walk over and at the same time pull some silver coins out of his pocket.

Just as Vane put the silver coin in the little boy's hand, the boy's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and said, "I'm sorry, only this is the only way to save my sister......"

Before Vane could react, the little boy suddenly swallowed a black object into his mouth, and then grabbed Vane by the arm.

Vane chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition arose. He broke the boy's hands with all his might. However, in the next second, the little boy's body was on fire, and the pedestrians around him let out crazy screams.
