In the southern part of the Thorn Wasteland, in the harbor of an independent city-state, a strange ship spewing white mist slowly approached the harbor, and the mast was not visible on the deck, and it looked like it was on fire from a distance.

However, the strange thing is that the ship, which should have dropped anchor, approached the dock in all directions.

Seeing this strange ship, the helpers who were carrying goods in the port stopped their work and looked at it curiously.

Not far away, on a merchant ship, a young sailor stood on the deck and said in surprise: "Look, look, that ship doesn't have a mast!" ”

With that exclamation, everyone around him also looked over, and the old sailor next to the young sailor narrowed his eyes, and he thought that the ship must have been in a great storm.

"They must have been blessed with luck, or they wouldn't have wandered here."

No one questioned the words of the old sailor, whose days at sea were more than many people's age.

"Wait, I'll see if there's anyone alive up there." The young sailor said curiously.

As soon as he turned around, following the rope on the mast, the sailor quickly climbed up to the mast's lookout, looked over, and then he froze in place, and there was no trace of the mast on the neat deck.

God, is it the legendary ghost ship of the ocean?

This astonishing discovery almost frightened him into falling off the mast.

Just as the natives were speculating about the origin of the ship without a mast, a somewhat haggard man stepped out of the cabin, shattering everyone's illusions.

"My lord, we have arrived in the Thorn Wasteland, do you want to go down and rest?" A guard followed behind him, looking at Du Wei and said.

After a month, Du Wei set off from Crocodile Island by steamboat and arrived directly in the southern part of the Thorn Wasteland, although he didn't need much effort along the way, but a month of wandering, especially two torrential rains, made him not in a very good state.

Especially in order to hurry, I basically didn't stop at the port along the way, and I was all eating dry food to deal with three meals.

Du Wei looked up at the sky, they were taking advantage of the first morning sun in the sky to land, and the morning sun in the distance was slightly flushed.

Frowning and thinking for a while, he shook his head, barely cheered up and said, "No, find someone to prepare a few fast horses, you go to the tavern to find two trustworthy mercenaries, and after breakfast, we will go to Boulder City immediately."

He had heard long ago about the dangers of the Thorn Wastes, and Boulder City was one of the inland trade hubs connecting the kingdom of Rick with the southern city-states, and many robbers would choose to settle in the wasteland to loot. Not only that, but some vicious demonic beasts also roam this wasteland.

"Okay sir, I'll do it now." The guard saluted and said respectfully.

After the guards left, Du Wei took out an electronic tablet from his bag that was out of place in this era, and wrote on it the news that he had arrived in the Thorn Wasteland. Clicking [Send], he muttered something as he watched the inky line of text disappear in the center of the tablet, and then stuffed the tablet into his bag.

"Witchcraft...... This kind of thing is really convenient. ”

……

At this time, at the westernmost end of the Thorn Wasteland, in the city hall of Boulder City, Jiang Feng, who was drawing at his desk, received a message from Du Wei. After glancing at the text message and thinking for a moment, he wrote a line on it.

"Stay safe, look for me at City Hall when you get to Boulder."

After confirming the reply, Jiang Feng pressed the bell on the table, and soon a servant appeared at the door of his room.

"Honorable Chief Wizard, what are your orders?" The servant saluted respectfully and asked.

"Clean up a guest room and come out," put the quill into the ink bottle and dipped it in ink, Jiang Feng didn't look back, and said casually, "There is a guest from afar, treat him well for me." ”

"Yes, sir."

After nodding, the servant hurriedly left the room, he needed to send the news to the mayor as soon as possible.

The wizard's guest, that is, naturally the guest of the entire wizard's territory, must not have any mistakes in the hospitality. Otherwise, even if the wizard didn't say anything, Mayor Lembert, who was eager to behave in front of the wizard, would definitely make a knife on himself as a little person.

After spending a day and a night on horseback, Du Wei ran to the gate of Boulder City, and felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

And the horse under him was already neighing at this moment, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam.

Maybe ten kilometers away, and it's going to see the Father.

"If I knew you were in such a hurry, we would never have accepted this commission," the mercenary leader who jumped off his horse and carried his sword and shield scolded, "Damn, Lao Tzu's bones are about to fall apart." ”

Without saying anything, Du Wei took out a belt of silver coins from his bosom and threw them impatiently.

"Commission."

The expression that called Hanako made the mercenary unhappy for a while, but after unpacking the string of the money bag, all the dissatisfaction disappeared, and I saw him smile flatteringly, nodded and said, "My lord, go slowly, if you want to go back to the south, you can come to the tavern at the gate of the city to find us." ”

Although it took only one day to travel, the wages were calculated on the basis of three days. Not only that, but there are more than 20 UBS in it, and I don't know if it is more or counted as their reward.

It is very rare for a boss to make such a generous shot.

After all, merchants are scheming fellows, and trying to take a silver coin from their hands is like killing them.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the city, Du Wei saw a fat man in luxurious clothes, with a sincere smile on his face, and opened his arms to greet him.

"Welcome, guest from afar, contemptible Rembert, mayor of Boulder City." Rembert bowed slightly and made a noble salute, "Allow me to take you to the town hall, where there is a banquet prepared for you to wash the dust away." ”

"Thank you for your kind invitation, but the wizard is still waiting for me, and I hope to see you soon." Du Wei politely declined.

"Don't worry, the wizard is in the town hall, let you rest for a day, that's what he meant." Rembert laughed.

Hearing this, Du Wei no longer shirked.

It just so happened that he was so tired that he wanted to die, and since it was ordered by the wizard, he didn't have to worry about being blamed for not seeing the wizard in the first place.

The luncheon was as sumptuous as the dinner, and the table full of delicacies made Dewey's eyes straighten. He was drunk at noon, and was carried back to the guest room by two young maids, and it was not until the next morning that he woke up from the gentle country in a daze.

Seeing the sun rising outside the window, Du Wei, who had just opened his eyes, hurriedly got up from the bed, didn't even have time to wash up, changed his clothes and ran to Jiang Feng.

Looking at Jiang Feng with a smile on his face, Du Wei bowed awkwardly and bowed his head.

"Du Wei has seen the wizard, yesterday ......"

"It's okay, it's exactly what I meant to let you take a day off and come back to see me, I believe Mayor Rembert should have conveyed this to you correctly," after a pause, Jiang Feng asked, "How about the port of Sevit?" Have I taken care of everything I have arranged for you to do? ”

Du Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, there is no problem. ”

"That's good," Jiang Feng nodded, "You should have heard along the way, I was canonized as the chief wizard of the kingdom by the Rick Kingdom, and this thorny wasteland is already my territory. ”

Du Wei gasped.

He hurried to this side non-stop along the way, and he really hadn't heard of this rumor. The mayor's respect for himself, he only understood that he was treated as a guest of the wizard. After hearing Jiang Feng's words, there was only one thought in his heart.

What a big deal!

Using a piece of land the size of a duke to canonize an uncontrollable wizard is a ruthless king of the kingdom of Rick.

"It's okay if you haven't heard of it, now you know," seeing the surprise on Du Wei's face, Jiang Feng smiled and continued, "In exchange, I will win this war for him." ”
