Chapter 41: On the shores of Wanze Lake
After completing the passage procedures from the Magic Guild in Dante's Town, Hig and the others teleported through the portal of the Magic Guild to the Magic Guild in Donindo City, Angra Province, Mizusawa Country.
All the magic guilds in the Mizusawa country are basically the same as those in the barbarian country, and the highest is only a third-level magic tower, which also reflects the overall level of magicians in the entire country. The main inhabitants of the Mizusawa country are also animal tamers and witches, and they also use the aquarium beasts as the main slaves and warriors, but unlike the barbarian countries, their witches can also domesticate some special plant species to serve the empire.
Donindo is the capital city of Angela Province with a population of more than one million, which is one of the best cities in Mizusawa Country. Duoning Duocheng is located on the east shore of Wanze Lake, and the endless Wanze Lake is to the west. It is not entirely accurate to say that it is a lake, because in the relatively dry autumn and winter, the west of the city of Doningdo is composed of countless potholes, rivers and swamps, and only during the rainy season during the wet season, when the water level rises, and the water from the major rivers of Mizusawa is injected into this low-lying area, forming a lake as wide as the sea, and at that time, even huge sailing ships can move through the lake at will.
This change in water level in two seasons has created the biodiversity of the area, and also created the largest city on the eastern shore of Wanze Lake.
When Higg and his party arrived in the city of Donindo, it was early spring, the rainy season in Angola province had not yet arrived, and Wanze Lake was the driest time of the year. Even the driest season of the year in Mizusawa is always much wetter than the rainiest season in the barbarian country.
Higg and his family climbed to a sightseeing tower on the east bank, looked at the lush Wanze Lake, and thought that in the near future, the vegetation at the bottom of the lake would be covered by the vast ocean of water, and they couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the world.
said that he was looking for an opportunity to understand the origin of the water system, but Higg didn't know where to start at all. Nicole, Butterfly and Thomas immediately agreed, and Daniel, who was usually the most active, didn't seem to like it very much, and never expressed his opinion since coming here.
Also sightseeing at the observation platform on the other side of the observation tower is a young man of twenty-four or five years old, with a dignified appearance, dressed in white, and a graceful appearance. This is not the season for sightseeing, and there are not many people who spend huge gold coins to come to the top floor to watch, except for a few outsiders from Higg, the locals will not climb the tower to enjoy the scenery at this time.
As they spoke, both Higg and the young man couldn't help but notice each other, but they just nodded and smiled at each other.
Suddenly there was a cacophony downstairs, and I saw seven or eight young men and women coming up from the staircase, giggling and saying this loudly as they went.
At the head were a young man and woman, the man in his early twenties, of average appearance, but dressed in a luxurious, dark yellow silk suit, light gray leather shoulders, and a red cloak; The woman was also twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a purple mink fur blouse and a snow-white velvet collar cloak draped over her shoulders, and there seemed to be an unapproachable arrogance in her expression.
"Hahaha, people think that the lake view is not good this season, but I think that compared to the wide water surface of the waves, the green lake view at this time has a different flavor, Miss Anna?" The man at the head said to the young woman.
Anna smiled and didn't speak, but a man who looked like a retinue next to her said flatteringly: "Only with the vision of our Young Master Robert can we have a different aesthetic from others, and the young master is surprising everywhere, which is really admirable!" ”
"Hey, why is there someone in that position?" The other attendant said strangely, then walked towards Higg and the others, and said loudly: "We, Young Master Robert and Miss Anna, want to use this position for sightseeing, please let me go!" ”
Higg raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing when he just arrived here today, and it would affect his mood too much. But he immediately calmed down, he didn't want to cause trouble yet, this was not his territory, he just arrived today, and he didn't understand the situation yet, but he couldn't give in in humiliation.
At this time, Nicole spoke first: "Everything must be said to come first and come first, why should I give it to you?" ”
"Huh? , this young lady is good, haha! Another attendant came up and said, "Don't make trouble for yourself, you can't afford to mess with you!" ”
"Hahaha-" The other attendants laughed as well.
"Friend, I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it!" Higg looked at Nicole and turned red with anger, and stood up and said to Robert.
Robert clapped his hands, and several of his entourage suddenly quieted down, and then said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I invited Miss Anna to enjoy the lake view today, I'm afraid Your Excellency has to give up the best position, and I will make amends to Your Excellency another day!" ”
"Oh, what if I don't let it?" Higg asked with a contemptuous smile.
"Then ask these two young ladies to accompany us to enjoy the lake view!" Robert smiled, pointed at Nicole and Butterfly and said, "As for the three of you, leave one arm and get out!" ”
Smack - Robert's face left five bright red marks, but it was not Higg, but the young man who greeted each other with Higg just now: "Get out, I've disturbed Lao Tzu's enjoyment, I've completely abolished you!" ”
Robert and his men were furious, and several of them rushed up and smashed their fists at the young man. There were several loud slaps in a row, and Robert and several of his followers were beaten to the ground, but none of the fists fell on the young man.
"Who are you? Do you dare to report your name? Robert knew he couldn't beat him, so he stood up and held back his anger and said.
"You are also worthy of knowing the name of Young Master Ben, get out!" After the young man finished speaking, he kicked Robert to the top of the stairs.
"There's a kind of you waiting!" Robert was still angry, and after he finished speaking, he even rolled and crawled, and several entourages also surrounded Anna and hurriedly went downstairs!
Higg was speechless, what is the situation, he hasn't done anything to settle it, although that Robert is annoying, but that young man is even more simple, are the characters in Mizusawa so good? I met this strange thing on my first day here.
Nicole walked up to the young man and said, "Thank you, what do you call you?" ”
The young man laughed: "Don't thank me, I just can't get used to those people's arrogant faces and disturb my Yaxing!" It's just that Pingshui meets, if he has a fate in the future, he will report his name again! After speaking, he strode downstairs, and his chic appearance made people feel good!
"Higg, we don't need to cause trouble, I think it's better to go first!" Daniel had not moved for a moment, and only then did he say his first words.
"Okay, I think this thing is a bit weird, as for what's weird, I haven't figured it out yet, let's go first, don't cause trouble!" Higg said.
"I feel the same way, this place seems to be full of evil!" Nicole was also very much in favor of leaving.
Butterfly and Thomas were always Higg's followers, so they left the observation tower in a hurry.
There are a lot of accommodation inns by Wanze Lake, the most comfortable way is to rent a set of lakeside courtyards, although the price is expensive, very luxurious, but the important thing is that the service is comprehensive, no outsiders disturb, the price is high.
Sigg and his family rented a lakeside courtyard next to the observation tower, which was not only fully equipped with a view of the lake, but also equipped with ten professional maids, and did not have to worry about their information being exposed. This is a rare pause since Higg came out of the Valley of Flowers, just in time to sort out and digest the results of his perception in the recent period.
Nicole and Butterfly Caiyun can never get rid of the nature of women, and Thomas is only a half-grown child, and several people don't drag Higra to the bustling street, so they have to team up to go shopping. Higg and Daniel are also rare in purity, and discuss magic together in the lakeside courtyard.
For more than ten days in a row, Higg got up early to instruct Thomas on magic learning and swordsmanship, spent the afternoon meditating and practicing by himself, and discussed magic with Daniel and Nicole in the evening. Thomas's talent for magic is not high, but he has a high comprehension of swordsmanship, and Higg is not too strong in magic, which cannot be achieved overnight, and not everyone will have their own natural ability. Daniel and Nicole did not regret that they followed Higg out to break out, although it was dangerous, but compared to the magic academy, the real travel life could make them gain more, coupled with communicating with Higg, a pervert, the proficiency in the use of first- and second-order magic skills is not what it used to be.
"Oh no, Miss Nicole, a few of them had a conflict with people outside, and they were surrounded by people!" That afternoon, Higg was meditating in the courtyard as usual, when a servant ran past Higg's room, shouting loudly.
"Where?" Daniel rushed in and asked loudly.
"Don't rush, speak slowly!" Higg turned to Daniel and said, "Nicole and Thomas will definitely not suffer, I guess they just don't want to cause trouble, so they are surrounded!" ”
"Across the street, Miss Nicole, Miss Butterfly Caiyun, and Master Thomas were surrounded by more than thirty patrolling soldiers, and they spoke disrespectfully to Miss Nicole. Miss Nicole didn't want to do much, and although she spoke hard, when I came back to report, she hadn't done it yet! The servant said anxiously.
"Higg, let's go, go see!" Daniel said eagerly.
"You don't want to cause trouble, but things will come to mess with you, hehe, let's go!" Higg said with a wry smile helplessly.
On a street across the courtyard where Higg lived, Higg was surrounded by dozens of patrol regiments, shouting insults at the exit, but not moving.
Outside the encirclement, two young women and a patrol captain were laughing and chatting outside the circle, it was Robert and Anna.
