While the air was still foggy in the morning, the group said goodbye to the Luthers and made their way to the town's docks.

"Oh, good morning, everyone. ”

On the dock, two guards greeted everyone sleepily.

"Hello, friends. Omoni nodded in acknowledgment.

At the unanimous recommendation of the crowd, Omoni stepped forward to speak on behalf of the adventuring group and others.

According to Esenus, although Omoni's strength is almost meaningless, the name and age of the spellcaster can fool a large number of people no matter how you look at it.

"Are you going to Artisan Town?"

"Exactly. ”

"You don't have to come so early. One of the guards rubbed his eyes, trying to sober himself up.

"Why is that?" asked Omony.

"Do you see the two ships in the back? The guard pointed behind him, and two ships with black stripes on a white background and some dark red decorations on the sides were leaning against the harbor.

"The two ships take turns departing at noon, and it's still early at noon. ”

The guard patted his cheek.

"But it's not bad to come so early, this is your first time going to Artisan Town, please come with me here, and we'll check in - George, don't fall asleep here. ”

"Is it a qualification?" asked Omoni as he followed the guard.

"Yes, we will never allow the homeless and those with ulterior motives to enter. ”

The guard led them into a small cabin, sat down at a table, and took out paper and pens.

"You may be seated. Name?"

"Omoni. ”

"Age?"

"How many are fifty? I don't remember exactly. ”

"Occupation?"

"Wizard. ”

The guard looked up in some surprise.

"Mage?"

"No, it's a wizard. Omoni corrected.

"Spellcaster?" the guard asked again.

"Yes. ”

The guard's expression became serious, and he asked a little stiffly, "Can you please prove it?"

Omoni nodded, and raised his hand to be his best shield.

The guard stood up, drew his saber from his waist, and pointed it at Omoni.

"I'm presumptuous, Master Mage. ”

With that, the guard inhaled and stabbed Omoni straight in the face.

This sword battle is vigorous, showing the strength level of the guards approaching the Sanctuary. Moreover, this sword is not only extremely powerful, but also has a special direction to take, if Omoni's spell is just an impostor, this sword will not only break the protective shield, but also have the strength to pierce Omoni's head.

Omoni's protective spell had been tested by the dragon, and the Guardian's sword simply bent its own blade on the shield and bounced back.

The guard's demeanor became more respectful, and he bowed slightly and said, "Now that your identity has been confirmed, there is no need to conduct the asset review and purpose review in the future, these are all prepared for people with ulterior motives and displaced people." All your companion needs is the rank name and class. ”

A mage's name and status are much higher than Isenas imagined, and a person can be almost equal to a medium-sized consortium. Although in his opinion, the level of this old man is just like that, and it is not half as high as the level of the mage he met in the kingdom of God.

With the help of Omoni's identity, Leo's sanctuary identity on paper did not make much waves, and Nana and little Paul were able to get through the trick.

Only Ente had some accidents here.

"Are you a paladin?" the guard reaffirmed Ente's identity.

"Yes. ”

"I wonder which true god you serve?" the guard was more careful.

"I used to serve the Lord God of Light, but now I'm an apostate. Ente replied with a comfortable expression, not hiding anything about the betrayal.

The guard looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, sir, but the Lord God of Light is a god on our list that is off-limits. ”

"But now he has betrayed the Church. Leo couldn't help but come out and defend himself.

"Neither will apostasy. The guard shook his head. "There are many examples in history of believers who have tried to betray their faith in order to gain the trust of others. ”

Although things were expected, the degree of difficulty was beyond everyone's estimates.

Isenus groaned, poked Omoni covertly, and waved his wand with his hand.

Omoni will.

Of course, Isenus couldn't have meant to kill them with magic... Isenus wants Omoni to do things as a mage.

Omoni stepped forward and said, "What if I vouch for him in the name of my wizard?"

Hearing this, the guards were also a little uncertain, in their rules, the mage is the highest priority guest, no matter what the request should be met as much as possible, and the person on the rejection list, it is already for Omoni's sake that he is not immediately expelled.

"I need to talk to the above. The guard finally had to reply that a guard only had to take care of what was within his authority.

With that, the guard walked up to a strange-looking box, put his hand into it, and kept pressing something, as if communicating with someone through the box, which caused several people to look at the box.

After a while, the guards returned.

The guard said cautiously, "Are you sure, Master Wizard, if this paladin does anything out of the ordinary in the city, not only will you and him be on our attack list, but the forces that cooperate with us will not have any kind of cooperation with the two of you. ”

"No problem, I trust my companions. Omoni nodded slightly.

"Well, these badges are your identification, so be sure to wear them in a conspicuous place when you enter Artisan Town. Now I'm going to take you aboard. ”

The ship used to transport guests could not accommodate dozens or hundreds of people from the outside, but there was a hole inside.

Leo estimated that this could at least be comparable to a thousand-passenger cruise ship.

Omoni also looked surprised, and turned to ask the guard.

"The space expansion here is your masterpiece?"

"This is what the mages who came to visit before helped us to do. The guard's look was proud.

"On this small lake, it is not easy for large ships to dock, and small boats are not capable of carrying passengers, so this mage helped us build these two magic ships. ”

"Before you, a total of six mages visited Artisan Town, and each of them has made a huge difference to us, so the adults above are looking forward to your arrival. ”

Omoni smiled, noncommittal.

The service on board was unexpectedly exquisite, and even though it was still early in the morning, the chefs were still busy preparing breakfast for the six members of the adventure group.

In this regard, the guard's explanation is that if you want to enter the Artisan Town, you must first come up with assets equivalent to 100,000 gold coins and above purchasing power for review, these are all rich people in the Artisan Town, so they naturally have to serve well.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were the same, and they glanced at the small money bag on Nana's waist with a vague heart. The shriveled wallet of a few hundred gold coins was not even a fraction of the admission ticket.

Sitting in his seat, Leo couldn't help but ask Ent, "What have you done in the church? ”

Ente replied helplessly, "I'm a senior thug in the church, how do I know what they've done?"

"Then why don't you tell me how you betrayed the Church of Light?" There was a lot of uproar at the time, but the details were not revealed at all. ”

"What's there to say about this, isn't it just that I was chased for thousands of miles. ”

Little Paul and Nana want to hear it, too. ”

"Forget it..."

While Leo was chatting, Isenus pulled out a copy of the Goddess of Wisdom from the bookshelf in the rest area and asked Omoni.

"Does the caster cherish it so much?"

"More cherished than you think. Omoni nodded.

"After the cultivation of Dou Qi is successful, no matter whether you have learned skills or not, you at least have objective combat ability, and you also have a lot of room for exploration in terms of skills. ”

"But after the cultivation of magic power is successful, if there is no corresponding casting method, magic power will not have a little effect, plus magic power is adaptable to everyone, the effect of the same casting method in different hands may be very different, so in the practice of magic, personal qualifications and the inheritance of teachers are equally important, which is also the reason why magic cannot be popularized on a large scale like fighting spirit. ”

"In other words, each mage's skills are unique?"

"So to speak. ”

Isenus closed the canon and said thoughtfully, "Then your role in this trip may be more important than expected." ”

Isenas sat up straight and arranged for Omoni: "After you get off the ship, someone will come to greet you, you just need to agree, in this operation, Nana is the daughter of your deceased, and little Paul is your new little apprentice, you have to show that you value them very much." ”

Although Omoni did not know why, he still wrote down Izenus's instructions.

After getting off the boat, the crowd began to look at Artisan Town in the harbor.

It's more of a city than a town.

The streets of Artisan Town are neatly organized, and the houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road at the same height and size, and the road is also square.

If Qinghu Town is a splendid wildflower that grows wantonly, then Artisan Town is a well-manicured garden.

At the exit of the port, two men in robes and uniforms were looking around anxiously, and when they saw Leo and his party coming out, they were overjoyed and went straight to Master Omoni.

"May I ask if you are Master Omoni?" one of the tall, thin middle-aged men stepped forward and asked.

"It's a wizard, sir," Omoni corrected with all his might, trying to get rid of the mage.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wizard. The middle-aged man bowed slightly.

"We are members of the five-member technical review committee of Artisan Town, and we are also the actual controller of Artisan Town, we sincerely invite you to our association to consult on technical cooperation, I don't know if you are willing to do so?"

Omoni and Esenus looked at each other. Sure enough, it was expected by Esenas.

"Of course, more than please," Omoni smiled gently, fully demonstrating the bearing of a mage of his age, rather than the usual salted fish atmosphere.

It didn't take much effort to get the thing done, much to the relief of the middle-aged man, after all, most mages were notoriously weird tempered.

Another young man ran out into the street and waved, and immediately eight armchairs with wheels slid over.

Omoni touched the chairs curiously, and he felt subtle fluctuations in mana from them.

The middle-aged man was very discerning, and immediately explained: "This is our unique means of transportation, it can recognize certain body movements and language, and its driving energy is the magic stone system that Master Catherly helped us establish thirty years ago. ”

"Cathery?" said Ormony, with some interest. "Is that the female mage known as the 'Arcane Torrent'?"

"Exactly, it was here that Mage Catheri perfected her magic system with us. ”

There was some ostentatious meaning in the middle-aged man's tone, and Omoni also cooperated and exclaimed.

Seeing that everyone was sitting on the chairs, the middle-aged man put his head close to the back of the chair behind him.

"Eight, Alchemy Tower, the fare is deducted from the council's public expense. ”

The chair trembled slightly, and a voice of urns came out: "The fee has been deducted, please make sure that your body is placed safely on the chair, for your safety, please do not do anything other than human movements." ”

Everyone was amazed, even Isenas considered himself adventurous, but he had never seen such a city. Driving on the street, from time to time you can see a crack in the gray road on the side of the road, and then a chair emerges from the opening and slides towards a person waving on the side of the road.

The chair slid left and right, and soon came to the bottom of a stone tower with white lines on a black background.

"Here we are, gentlemen. The middle-aged man led the crowd to a door.

Pushing open the door, inside was a confined space of several square sizes.

"This is the gondola, also known as the elevator, and we can get to the top of the stone tower by standing in it for a while. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and this was something they had never seen before.

In the elevator, Omoni asked about the tower.

"How tall is this tower?"

"It is 241 meters high and has 29 floors. ”

"This tower is all for the use of the Council of the Five of You?"

"Nope. The middle-aged man shook his head. "We only use the top fourteen floors, and the bottom fifteen floors have been deprecated. ”

"Deactivated?" Omoni couldn't understand how half of a good building was gone, and it was better to rent it out than to leave it here.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and replied, "This is not a secret, as long as anyone who has been in Artisan Town for a while knows it, plus your noble status, you should also know these things." ”

The middle-aged man sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued: "This tower was built more than a hundred years ago with the Artisan Town, when it was just a small alchemy workshop, and with the expansion of the Artisan Town later, it was also heightened again and again. However, due to the vision of the time, some of the designs and functions that seemed very novel at the time were now considered wastes of space, so gradually no one wanted to use the substructure. ”

"But there is no such thing as a complete waste product in the world, let alone these towers, which cost a lot of money to build at the time. There are still quite a few people who value the special functions of some floors and work there. ”

"It wasn't until more than 20 years ago that a major accident occurred on the eighth floor, which caused the structure of the bottom floor to be unstable, and the tower below the fifteenth floor was completely banned. Originally, everyone advocated demolishing the tower and rebuilding it, but I heard that the five-member council thought that the tower had a deep historical value and did not advocate demolition, so it gradually became what it is now. ”

More than twenty years ago?

Leo and Esenas got excited. The timing is so coincidental that this eighty percent is related to the war more than 20 years ago. It's just that because of the small space of the elevator, the two just exchanged an excited look.

Leo was even more excited to speculate about the accident, until he came to the five-member council.
