Chapter 890: Estrangement and Encounter

The Iron Acropolis is a very... Peculiar city.

It is located beneath the Deep Green Basin, bordered by the Land of the Sea on the top, the Land of Steel on the left, and the Land of Frost on the right.

The Iron Acropolis was also a neutral city where it was founded, and the abundant protozoite veins around the city attracted merchants and nobles from the three countries to exploit it.

The initial dispute over the mining of the veins has gradually calmed down, and the city is governed by the forces represented by the three states.

Although ostensibly governance... But behind the scenes, disputes over land and mining rights have been playing out in the city.

Carrillo... Or rather, the short-touch wand was born in this city full of chaos under the order.

Short-touch Wand quit his job at Golden Thread half a month ago, and asked for leave from the Academy, spending half a month from the capital of the Iron Nation to the Iron Acropolis on the border.

This is because he received a letter from home, where his father informed him that something might be wrong with the Acropolis and asked him to return to bring his younger brother and sister back to the land of the sea.

"Are you from the land of the sea?"

The short-touch wand is being inspected in front of the teleportation hall of the Iron Acropolis, and the guards here wear a strange kind of iron mask on their faces, and the short-touch wand can feel the cold eyes behind the iron mask.

"Yes." The short-touch wand answered the guard truthfully.

After he entered the Iron Acropolis, the atmosphere around him became very dreary.

The guard doubled his identification credentials.

"Your mother is from the Land of Frost?"

The guard's voice suddenly became terrifying, and the eyes that looked at the short-touch wand were like looking at some kind of monster.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

The Short Wand didn't understand what was happening, but the guards around him immediately gathered around him when they heard the news.

"Catch him!"

The guards shouted and raised their spears to approach the short-touch wand, and he instantly clenched the staff in his hand and retreated in panic, and finally he lost his balance and fell to the ground in some embarrassment.

"Stop! All stopped... I have Master Hemerson's clearance papers! The young man was sheltered by Lord Hemerson! ”

Just as he felt that his life was almost over, a middle-aged man ran up to the group of guards, holding a parchment scroll in his hand.

The leader of the guards brutally took the sheepskin scroll from the middle-aged man's hand, and after confirming that the inscription mark on it was indeed genuine, he motioned with his eyes to the soldiers who were surrounding the short-touch wand to get out of the way.

"Don't hurry up yet!" The middle-aged man shouted at the short-touch wand.

The short-touch wand scrambled up from the ground and followed the middle-aged man out of the teleportation hall.

"Father... Father, hair... What happened? ”

The short-touch wand was still in a state of panic, and his voice was shaking.

"The plague." Two terrifying words came out of the middle-aged man's mouth, "Damn the people of the Frost Nation brought the plague here, and half of the city was quarantined!" Carrillo, you're not allowed to tell anyone that your mother is from the Land of Frost, understand? ”

"Well... Good. ”

Frightened, he got into his father's car, looking out the window as he watched the scenery.

The Acropolis used to be a bustling commercial city, but now the streets are very depressed, most of the shops are closed, and civilians are hurrying around.

Guards in armor and iron masks patrolled the streets, and some poor people in shabby clothes were caught by the guards and executed, while others were sent to the other side of the street in groups.

"How can there be a plague?"

The short-touch wand looked through the window to the other side of the street, where the memory should have been populated by civilians had been walled and the guards had sent the homeless into it.

"God knows, it may be the gods who have punished those greedy foxes, Lord Hemerson and Ymir, the Lord of the Iron Fist, are ready to join forces to banish the people of the Frost Nation from this city."

"It's... It's a little too sloppy. ”

Although the exact cause of the short-touch wand is unknown, this act is tantamount to the two nations uniting to declare war on the Land of Frost.

"Carrillo! Don't say this when you get there, Lord Hemerson hasn't been in the mood to tolerate you saying the wrong thing lately. The middle-aged man warned in a serious voice about the short-touch wand.

"I'll shut up, father."

The short-touch wand looked out the window at the bleak and depressed scenery all the way to the area controlled by the Sea Nation in the Iron Acropolis.

It looks a little more human, but it's still full of a sense of desolation.

It wasn't until the magic cart drove into a grand manor that the wand felt the scenery change from gray to color.

"You're waiting here!"

The middle-aged man took his short-touch wand to a garden at the back of the manor, and after leaving this sentence, he hurried into the manor.

At this moment, the short-touch wand regretted going back to his hometown at such a time, if it was in Nolan, he would have been lying in bed a long time ago, drinking coke of sin, while chatting and bragging with friends on the magic network!

Even though there are no beds and no karma cola, there are still magic nets with a short touch of a wand!

He earned three World Tree leaves when he bought the Minecraft Deluxe Limited Edition!

He never told anyone about it.

Short-touch wand found a chair in the corner of the garden, opened the web, and began to browse the latest news on the caster's forum.

"The trailer for the epoch-making game "World Rift"... What is the teaser? Wait a minute! A new game for Joe Xiu Okami! ”

The short-touch wand almost screamed with excitement when he saw that the producer's signature was Qiao Xiu under the game, but he realized that this was the territory of a big nobleman, and he had to cover his mouth immediately.

And the short-touch wand held back his excitement, and wanted to log in to the magic web vision to watch this trailer... He heard the sound of branches being crushed.

This caused the Short-Touch Wand to immediately look behind him, and he saw a little girl with long flaxen hair sitting behind him.

More appropriately, she was in a wheelchair.

The short-touched wand was frightened by the sudden appearance of the figure and fell to the ground again, and the other party seemed to be frightened as well, but after calming down, she looked at the young man who had fallen in the pile of fallen leaves with concern.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what that weird magic of yours is." There was a hint of guilt in her voice.

"Strange magic?" The short-touch wand pushed his crooked glasses, "You mean the magic net?" ”

"Magic web?" The girl doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.

"Recently in Nolan can be said to be the magic that has changed everyone's lifestyle, if you are interested, I can introduce you, and my name is Carrillo."

The short-touch wand slapped off the fallen leaves and stood up, the girl in front of him with a little freckles on her face, but she looked about the same age as him.

"My name is Hermina." She also decently told the Shorttouch Wand her name.
