......

Port Amplo.

It's been a while since Viska the sea snake attacked the port, and the rushing waves and roaring sea serpents are long gone, and it is not so easy for the port to recover.

The ruined lighthouses on the coast, the wrecks of ships floating on the sea, the broken merchant ships, the old taverns almost flooded with sea sand, kelp and marine debris...... Everything is showing the tragedy of the past, and even the air seems to be gloomy.

On the dockside, civilians with sad expressions are bending down to salvage sampan fragments with long wooden poles, on the ruins of the old tavern, the boss sighs and sighs to clean up the sea sand and algae, and on the beach farther away, several elderly people have set up a simple altar at some point, and are secretly sacrificing to the sea lord, praying for repentance......

The sunset appeared on the horizon at some point, and the magnificent color dyed half of the sky red.

Under the sunset, everything seemed to be dyed with a layer of red light, just like the oil painting displayed in the window, the color was intense, but it became more and more shocking.

Suddenly.

The silence of the harbor was broken by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.

The civilians on the dock subconsciously turned their heads to look over, but saw a group of knights in armor and bright clothes galloping towards them, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the ground slightly.

Behind the knights, a luxurious carriage wrapped in gold leaf followed.

Under the frantically waved whip of the coachman, the speed of the carriage has been pushed to the limit, and even the body is already a little bumpy. The people in the carriage were not fast enough, and they were still urging vigorously.

The huge wheels that were spinning quickly ran over the black reef ground that had not yet been cleared, and the mud and sand on the ground were suddenly swept everywhere, and even the glazed windows on both sides of the carriage were splashed a lot.

The civilians on the side of the road didn't have time to dodge, and they were even splashed with mud and sand, but they still dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

Because, this carriage is impressively printed with a golden family emblem.

The family emblem belongs to the lord of this place, Viscount Taylor.

"It's my lord! Hurry up!

Seeing this, the old people on the beach hurriedly got up from the ground and hurriedly began to pack their things. In the midst of the chaos, he didn't even care if the bowl on the table was overturned.

The faces of the civilians who cleaned up the sediment and salvaged driftwood on the wharf changed, and they hurriedly shouldered the salvage tools and climbed to avoid the galloping horses' hooves. A few of them ran a little slower, and were almost hit head-on by the galloping horses, and cold sweat suddenly soaked through the linen robes.

In the midst of the chaos, the knights and carriages came to a rapid stop on the docks.

The knights hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and a man quickly got out of the carriage.

This man was about thirty or forty years old, dressed in a dark red aristocratic dress, with a round belly that almost tore his clothes, two black and shiny mustaches on his lips, and a face full of fat and oily tones.

This middle-aged man is the lord of this port of Amplo, Viscount Taylor.

Because he was in too much of a hurry to get out of the car, Viscount Taylor's clothes were a little scattered, and even the hair that should have been meticulously combed was curled, but he didn't care about tidying it up at all, and he was still hurriedly telling the old butler next to him: "Lord Earl will be here soon, you should keep an eye on it over there, but don't make a mistake." ”

"Don't worry, sir. The old butler looked confident, "The supplies prepared by the old servant are the best, and the dishes for dinner have been prepared since this morning, all of which are carefully kept, so that the earl can feel your sincerity and intentions." ”

Viscount Taylor breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of the servant to arrange his clothes and accessories, he took a deep breath, and the anxiety and excitement on his face slowly subsided, and he tried to squeeze out a warm and respectful smile.

Ever since he received the news that the new Earl was coming to Port Amplo for supplies, he knew that his chance had finally come.

As the lord of Amplo Harbor, his source of income will naturally not only be seafood and taxes, but also the caravans at sea are the largest source of his income.

But since the death of his predecessor, Earl Raymond, he has no backers, and business has not been very easy. There are also many nobles in the thorn collar who are red in his business, and since these days, there have always been people who have made him stumbling in the open.

If he can't find a strong backer, he may not be able to keep his exclusive business.

He had been in a hurry for the past two days, but the Earl of Black, the only one who had the ability to shelter him, did not respond to the post he sent.

Unexpectedly, my lord blessed, at this critical moment, he actually received the news that the Earl of Black was coming to Port Amplo for supplies!

Is there more exciting news in the world?

As soon as the Earl of Black came, he was confident that he would promise to shelter himself. He now has a trump card in his hand, and he is not afraid that Earl Black will not be moved.

And the new Earl of Black is backed by the Duchy of St. Violet and the Holy See of Light, and his background is unfathomable, as long as he can take advantage of this opportunity to join him, he can not only keep the business in his hand, but also have countless benefits in other aspects.

Viscount Taylor seemed to see a broad avenue paved with gold and precious stones slowly spreading in front of him, and couldn't help but rub his hands in anticipation.

That's when it happened.

Over the devastated harbor, a streamer of light suddenly galloped in.

The streamer was as fast as a meteor, but in a matter of moments, it had already soared from the horizon to the sky above the harbor, turning into a behemoth suspended in the sky, and began to descend slowly.

Against the sun, the behemoth was submerged in a dazzling light and shadow, the edges blurred, except for the huge shadows cast on the docks.

Viscount Taylor subconsciously looked up, and then his eyes widened in shock.

The behemoth hanging above his head looked like a huge ball studded with crystals, and in the sunlight, the surface of the ball reflected brilliant colored light, and it was as brilliant as an oversized gemstone.

As it arrived, a huge wind pressure howled down, and waves were set off on the sea.

The sound of waves came from the sea, and the waves crashed against the pier, rolling up countless snow-white droplets. Even the flags planted in the harbor were swept up by the strong wind, and they swayed wildly.

"Gang, Master Gangter's Archmage Tower?"

Viscount Taylor swallowed, and the expression of shock on his fat face was as if he had seen the undead in broad daylight.

Master Gaunt has been settled in Gru Town for so long, even the nobles who are closed off the news already know the news, let alone Viscount Taylor, who is bent on taking the new earl? What's more, Master Gaunt's Archmage Tower has a maverick shape, and there is only one family, and there is no other semicolon, how can he not recognize the reason?

He never thought that he would come to the docks to wait for Earl Black, and he actually waited for Master Gangter's Archmage Tower! This, this is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing~

He's Tyler Emerson, and it's time to get going!

"Master, Master Gangter is a big man who can't even be invited. At this time, the old butler also reacted, and his eyes lit up with excitement, "If the hospitality is good, as soon as the master is happy, maybe he will agree to make magic equipment for you." ”

"It's up to you to say that. Viscount Taylor took a deep breath, and even his spirit was lifted, "Let's go, go and welcome the distinguished guests." ”

As he spoke, he straightened his collar and walked towards the edge of the dock under the huge wind pressure. Under the strong wind, his fat cheeks were almost blown out of shape, but he didn't care, and his eyes were still full of excitement.

At this time, the Archmage Tower had descended from the sky, stretched out eight huge mechanical legs, and firmly erected the Archmage Tower on the sea surface at the edge of the harbor.

Although most of the surrounding civilians didn't know what this behemoth was, out of the simplest philosophy of the low-level civilians, they had already vigilantly carried their guys out of the whirlpool center of the dock, and only a few curious and fearless people secretly hid in the corner to watch.

Under the curiosity or excitement of the crowd, the gate on the bottom floor of the Archmage Tower slowly slid open to both sides, and several figures walked out of it.

Viscount Taylor's eyes quickly crossed everyone's faces, and when he saw the blonde Black and the bearded Jimmy, his eyes lit up, and he went straight to meet him.

"Good day, Earl Black. ”

He first gave Blake a noble salute, then turned to Jimmy Gaunt next to him.

"Good day, Master Gangter. Good day, a few friends. ”

His attitude was respectful and graceful, and after greeting the two, he didn't even forget to greet Wu Hui and the others next to him, and his etiquette was impeccable.

After all, in his eyes, it is not easy to get in touch with these two characters, and it is always right to stammer.

"Are you...... Lord of Port Amplo, Viscount Taylor?"

Blake casually greeted him.

Viscount Taylor, as a low-ranking nobleman in the Thorn Domain, is nominally a vassal of Blake - the kind of direct subordinate who can let the other party lead troops to join his army when he goes to war.

It is a tradition and obligation for the lower nobles to serve the upper nobles for tens of thousands of years, so it is not surprising that Blake will see Viscount Taylor at the docks.

Daniel and Liliana are obviously used to this kind of thing, and they skillfully put up the shelf. Only Jimmy, still impatient, didn't mean to deal with Viscount Taylor at all.

Wu Hui glanced at it and withdrew his gaze with disinterest, and lazily shrank behind a few people.

Coincidentally, he only passed down the oracle yesterday and asked the Holy See to find a clue to the Heart of the Earth, and it turned out that there was a clue right away. This clue actually comes from Jimmy, an alchemy master.

To be honest, he was really shocked when he first learned the news from the Holy Maiden of Light yesterday.

The Heart of the Earth is the condensation of the essence of the earth, and it is one of the five origin stones of the universe, and there are not a few pieces of the entire light plane. However, the heart of the earth, as one of the five origin stones, does not emit obvious fluctuations like the Stone of Creation at all, but instead looks like an ordinary stone with no magical fluctuations, and mortals can't tell the difference at all.

Only a god like Wu Hui can see the essence through the phenomenon and find it out of countless ordinary stones.

As long as he can find the heart of the earth, Wu Hui's strength will change drastically, and for a while, his heart is a little hot.
