Chapter 001: Hogg Town (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After a few hours of Grant's convoy along a loess path, the sky suddenly became overcast, the sunny weather and bright light were gone, and a cold wind blew all around, and the curtains rattled.
The convoy withstood the impending rain and continued to move forward.
"Rustling ......"
After a while, the air suddenly sounded the sound of rain crashing on the ground, and they fell to the roof of the car with a rhythmic sound like noisy beans, and there was a layer of gray water vapor on the edge, and the sky and the earth became blurred and gray.
Grant sat in the carriage and carefully analyzed the heart left over from a purple-veined python in his hand, he thought that he could extract a small number of useful bloodlines from these purple-veined pythons and reserve them, and the level nine demonic beast hearts could also be regarded as having a certain storage value.
"It's a noisy sound." Halfway through his analysis, Grant couldn't help frowning when he heard these voices, and after putting down the scarlet heart in his hand, he withdrew into the reserve space, he lifted the curtain and saw that the trees and sharp rocks in the distance were all covered by rain, and the dripping rain made everything blurry, and it was impossible to see the original scenery clearly.
The gray mud and the rain mixed together, and it became muddy and sloppy. A handful of hollow puddles of water had accumulated in a thin line that meandered in other directions, when a black carriage rolled over it, splashing some thin mud.
After advancing for hundreds of meters, there is a gray-white stone tablet pointing the way on the road, on which it is simply marked with three national characters, and there is a layer of colorful at the bottom, as if the magic font of the shining street lamp in the previous life.
A few simple words. They are: the place where mages gather, ordinary people are not allowed to enter - Hogg Town.
"See this sign. I think Hogg is almost there. It should be easy to get inside in two hours, and hopefully get in early this time. Don't wait a month or a half to open the Noah's door. ”
Grant whispered and closed the curtain. He thought it was boring, so he just went to sleep, and when he woke up, he should be able to reach the town.
…………
"Bang!"
The carriage shook suddenly, then stopped.
"What's going on? Arrived? Grant, rubbing his slightly wistful eyes, poked his head out of the car window and saw a cluster of buildings rising from the ground in the distance, standing on the gray dirt floor, because the rain was thicker. Those buildings can't be seen very clearly.
The edge of Hogg Town is surrounded by a circle of black vines and dwarf trees, their black torsos as if they were pressed by a huge mountain, and if they exceed five meters, they will deform or entangle at ninety degrees to form a strange thick and solid wall.
Outside the black "city walls", there were a number of horseback riders in wide raincoats back and forth, and they slowly drove into the town, and on the periphery there was a place where a simple roof was erected, and several black-robed men were in charge of inspection.
"Looks like it's here."
Grant knew that their destination had been counted.
The black-gray front curtain door was opened a gap, and a cold wind blew in. The oil lamps in the carriage became wobbly, and the temperature dropped quite a bit.
A dark-skinned, bald-headed man poked his head out, and he said respectfully, "Master Grant, we have reached the outskirts of Hogg Town. You'll be inside in a while. ”
"Got it." Granette nodded and wrapped her neckline.
He pulled back the gray curtain and stuck his head out to see some mages in raincoats appear along the advancing route. They hurried straight ahead with their heads bowed, and occasionally some gray-robed mages glanced at Grant in the carriage with their spare eyes. Showing a hint of surprise, he quickly ran to the front.
The route kept moving, and the gravel on the ground became a little too much.
Grant looked at it for a moment, noticing rows of figures lining the perimeter of the wall made of black trees. They were passing through the route of two black-robed men outside the town gate.
"Take out the proof, and leave if you don't have it!"
"I haven't proven that I'm not a mage, what are you doing here when you're not a mage? Get out of here! ”
Some shouts rang out in front of them, and occasionally some of the more amazing convoys could easily enter without a certificate, Grant squinted his eyes and stared carefully at the three convoys in front of him who had entered the town gate, and in the center of their carriages there was a pattern depicting a giant sparkling hand.
Grant remembered that in Mikasa Castle, there were also several relatively large forces, such as the spark giant hand in front of him was the mark of the giant organization, among which there were more than a dozen second-order mages, a powerful organization of more than a hundred first-order mages.
"You bring out the proof."
Two black-robed men stood in front and asked.
Grant looked at the front and took out the shadow badge when Teffel came out and showed it to the two of them, and they simply let it go after a little inquiry.
The convoy soon entered the town, which was relatively remote, with a street lined with small wooden buildings on both sides, and a few spire-shaped buildings standing in the distance, most notably the three glittering golden mage towers.
Grant knew that they were three second-order mage towers, which were specially built attack spell towers, and there were no test rooms, living room residences, etc. All are pools of stored spells and energy elements. Any organization that dares to attack outside of Hogg Town will be devastated.
There are also some gray-robed law enforcement teams in the town, they belong to the ordinary mages who are temporary part-time in the mage cluster, and their strength is about the middle and late stages of the first order, and they basically rely on these guardian patrols to obtain magic stones.
Grant looked through the carriage and saw a lot of hurried raincoat people walking back and forth on the muddy road in front of him, their hands in their sleeves, staring at the surrounding scenery indifferently and walking.
"Master Grant, Miss Tiffel said just now that we are going to stay at a hotel in front of us."
"Okay, she's in charge."
Grant sat in the carriage and nodded casually, he was also afraid of these troublesome things, and he didn't have to worry about them with Tefeel to deal with them.
The convoy eventually stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated inn with a dozen black horses tied to it, and a few sackclothed servants parked outside the inn, all of them talking with gray hair and smiling faces. They are responsible for the hay of the Malaysians.
At this time, he noticed that Grant's motorcade was coming, and immediately ran to the front to talk to the leader Tenfil, as if asking about something.
"Come here." Grant looked through the window and beckoned another servant to come over. At the same time, he threw a piece of Devil Stone into the muddy pavement, and the rumbling gray cement quickly submerged it.
A servant in sackcloth and trousers, his eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the magic stone with both feet, didn't mind the cement left on it at all, wiped the stain a little and put it in his pocket, stared at Grant with awe, and said humbly: "My lord, what are your orders?" ”
"Well, I have something." Grant sat in the carriage and asked calmly. (To be continued.) )
