Chapter 243: The Pearl of the Sea
Jiao Wen looked at Thaler's eyes, Thaler didn't look away without a weak heart, and after a few seconds, Jiao Wen stood up, "I hope what you said is true, and the money for the equipment will be sent directly to my temporary foothold, I will leave tonight, you better hurry." ”
After speaking, he directly pushed open the door and left the house, the guard watched Jiao Wen leave, and quickly walked into the house, and found that Thaler was sitting in a chair, sweating constantly on his forehead.
Seeing the person he trusted the most coming in, he hurriedly commanded, "You hurry up and equip the bill and send it to the legendary lord, and the price will rise by 50% according to the market price, and it will be regarded as a good fate." ”
"Okay, just your safety." The guard reminded him.
"It's okay, just go and get back quickly." As he spoke, he took out the necklace from the box and put it on his neck.
It seems that the strength of this business boss himself is not low, at least the cold of the Frost Tears itself does not seem to have any effect on him, but this beautiful necklace is a little out of place on his neck.
"Okay, no problem." The guard turned around and left the room to get the money, and as for Jiao Wen's temporary residence, it would be a shame for Thaler to be who he was if he couldn't even find out about it.
In the evening, Jiao Wen took the rested Hathaway to the pearl of the sea, Stulk, which was a city built on the sea.
On the way, Jorge opened an additional letter from Thaler, which contained some information about Iskey, the liaison of the Magical Council was not just a restaurateur, but also the head of the underground forces in the city of Stulk, and a godfather if anything.
The next morning, Jiao Wen came to this city, which was somewhat similar to Venice, a water city on the earth, and the shipping industry in this place was very developed.
The two of them first hired a sharp boat and then began to admire this beautiful city, the slight wind blowing on the clothes of the two people, the waves of the sea under their feet continued to hit the seawall next to them, splashing one after another, and many small rainbows appeared in the air by the sun.
"Dear guests, every canal in the city of Steulk is like the streets of other cities." The boatman looked at Jiao Wen and the two of them who had been observing left and right, and knew that this was a tourist who came here, so he introduced him very warmly, "There is the Church of San Major, there is the Convent of the Holy Spirit of Sturke, there is the Bell Tower of Truth, and there is the Temple of Prayer......
Jiao Wen stretched, no matter what the Holy See did, their buildings are still quite good-looking, "This should be Sturke's temple area." ”
The Holy See will have at least one church in every city and town, but there will always be an area where the church building hits, and this area is called the Temple District, which is also an area with extremely high defense in a city.
"Yes, so it's not crowded, beyond this area is the business district of Steulk, where you will see merchants and travelers from all over the world." The boatman replied with a smile, and when he spoke, it did not affect the movement of his hands at all, and the sharp boat passed through the arched bridges one after another, so stable that Hathaway did not feel any shaking in her sleep.
After a while, the surrounding voices began to quarrel in the afternoon, and the sharp boats stopped next to the building, or entered the building with a waterway.
The whole city came alive in the afternoon, and Hathaway, under the influence of the sounds around her, woke up from her sleep, wiped her eyes, and looked curiously at the nearby scenery.
"It's a bustling city." Jiao Wen looked at the scene next to him and sighed, as a person who grew up in China, this kind of scene made him feel very comfortable.
The boatman was very proud to hear his words, and continued, "Of course, we in Sturk are on the edge of the Storm Strait, connecting the east and west, north and south, and there is a natural deep-water port, where countless goods are turned, and the city is much more prosperous than it is now, when the merchants' permits were still auctioned here. ”
"Communicate something?" Jiao Wen asked a little puzzled, you must know that the east side of the Storm Strait is Holm and other countries, which are the countries that the Holy See focuses on.
"That's right, a lot of valuables in the vicinity are traded through us, but only merchants with the Holy See's permission can buy them through the Stormwind Strait." The boatman had been in contact with so many travelers, so he naturally knew what Jiao Wen was wondering about.
Jianzhou slowly drove past the shark restaurant as she spoke, and Hathaway subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiao Wen, who shook her head and signaled her not to worry.
After all, the information given by Thaler is not necessarily true, and he is also curious about how this Iskey continued to be this liaison even though the Holy See knew his identity, maybe he was a double agent.
It's better to be cautious in these things, and when the ship arrives at the place, Jiao Wen takes Hathaway on the street and says to her, "Hathaway, your vigilance with me has been lowered a lot recently, you should pay more attention." ”
"yes, I see." Hathaway nodded and said, a magician like her, who is hunted down by the Holy See, may be more than many Aalto's magicians on the basis of magic, but the vigilance must be a level higher, because a little negligence may bring death.
A week later, Jiao Wen took Hathaway to the shark restaurant, and this week was not only to find out information, but more importantly, Hathaway finally reached the level of a first-ring magician.
The first spell she engraved in her soul was called the mana shield, which Jiao Wen found from the mercenary tavern in the time, this magic is the mage's life-saving magic skill, claiming that as long as there is enough mana, it is a shield that cannot be broken by gods.
After inscribed this spell, Hathaway can be regarded as a bit of defense, and more importantly, after becoming a full-fledged professional, she does not have to compete from the lowest level after arriving at Aalto.
Jiao Wen and the two sat down on the second floor under the leadership of the waiter, and not far from the diagonal opposite of their table was Iskey, this is not a coincidence, Jiao Wen had already put a mark on this person.
And because of the different power systems, ordinary legends can't find this mark if they don't take it seriously, and they can be regarded as the overlords in the surveillance.
