118 Mentor Trail
The streets are neat and clean, the air is fresh and comfortable, and Jack and Kacano feel much more comfortable on their skin and nose when they enter the 'Grey Eye City', which is protected by large protective bubbles that keep pollutants and toxic gases out of the city.
Generally speaking, large cities are built around wizarding schools, and the people who live here are mostly collateral of wizarding families or distant relatives with no talents, and they are considered the happiest class among ordinary people, and even many wizards and apprentices are not comparable to them.
In this era of reconstruction, wizard apprentices may not be better off than mortals, except for remote villages and outcast tribes, the quality of life in central villages and towns and large cities is still good, and it is more difficult for foreign apprentices over the age of thirty to live in it.
Only those wizard apprentices whose mental strength has not declined and can work for the city for more than six years will be eligible to move in, of course, this is equivalent to giving up the wizard path, but relatively they have been given a more comfortable and safe living environment.
If Jack fails to advance, his parents will send him to settle in a large city controlled by the Brans, which is quite a good treatment, considering that many civilian apprentices can only run to barren towns to struggle to survive after failing to advance.
Of course, after the soul fusion, Jack can become a full-fledged wizard by relying on alternate meditation, but his parents and sisters are not necessarily very happy, the current era is gradually becoming turbulent and dangerous, and wizards on the front line of the continent are more likely to die and fall than mortals.
Swelling and painful, Jack rubbed his forehead while thinking about his family, and for some reason he felt a slight tingling in his head, as if something was growing and rubbing in it.
Not paying much attention to it, Jack thought it might be due to the fatigue of the overnight journey, and by this time he and Kakano had already finished briefing the official wizard, and now the two of them were sitting on the benches outside for a short rest.
"I've heard Shar say that her dream is to visit all the cities and towns on the continent, but for the elite seeds of the family, this may be a luxury that will never be realized. ”
Jack looked at the greenery and streets of the City of Grey Eyes in a slightly silent voice, the moist and fresh air reminded him of vague memories of his travels on Earth, and he felt that Shar would be very happy if he was born in that world.
"Romy, the wizard of Grey Eye City has sent a message, the contact location we reported has found a hidden bloodline wizard, the medical wizard of the Western School has been disguised and blended in, I didn't expect these guys to really hide in the most dangerous place. ”
Smiling, Kakano called out to a distracted Jack, who was now happily grooming the feathers of a white flying monkey, the messenger of the wizards of Grey Eye, who had sent updates and quest points to the Inland Princes (princesses).
"Huh?!, is there really one?"
Jack was a little surprised when he heard the other party's words, he and Kakano sent the news of the green-haired witch to the hands of the 'Grey-Eyed City' immediately took action, and Jack didn't expect the information sent by the two to really come in handy.
Very important, the wizard master who is good at perception secretly went to find the vague fluctuation of the power of the bloodline, and this made him very happy and excited, the other party must have a big plan to stay in the 'Gray Eye City' at the risk, and there are already many masters eyeing where at this time.
"A bloodline wizard, six apprentices at the peak, and many ordinary believers, it is estimated that this dark post has been operated by them for a long time, and now the 'Gray Eye City' has been quietly under martial law, and we can only enter but not leave, it is estimated that we will not leave until it is dealt with." ”
Kakano smiled and explained, it seemed that he didn't mind being locked up in 'Grey Eye City', Jack also nodded silently after hearing her words, because there are more official wizards here, so there is no need for them to complete the infiltration work, and Jack is happy to do so.
"Your Highness, where are we going now? should we go to the hotel to rest first, or should we go directly to the footprints of Zeka Arsa's life?"
Slightly tired, Jack knew that the prince (princess) had followed him to the City of Grey Eyes mainly to find out the news of Zeka Arsa, and that he was just trying to give it a try when it came to special missions or something.
"Immediately set off, Grey Eye City, Blue Water City, Iron Rod City, Zeka Arsa must have settled in these three places, it's ridiculous that the Western School has put a lot of people in the Flower City where he appeared, and they don't know Zeka Arsa at all, the 'Ignorant Teacher'. ”
Kakano sneered disdainfully at the school higher-ups and then stepped away, and Jack, who was next to her, had no choice but to follow, and the two of them rushed here overnight to rest for a while, and then the prince (princess) immediately moved again.
"Resolute, this inland prince (princess) is not only cruel to others, but also herself, my physique is strong, she is a little tired, she has no rudimentary magic and supernatural abilities, and she can be regarded as amazing-willed. ”
Sighing slightly, Jack secretly admired the inland prince (princess), he knew how uncomfortable it was to travel overnight in a polluted desert, and poisonous gases and pollutants were very damaging to the body, even if they had pets.
"Chirping ~ hissing ~ "
Loud chirps, the flying claw soaring nearby suddenly receives a message from its owner, because Jack and Kakano are going to stay for a while, so they are ordered to forage and rest on their own, which also makes the flying claw hiss happily a few times.
"Hehe, freedom is the best gift of all things in the world, whether it is the incomparably powerful 'Six Teachers' or the humble and weak ordinary animals, Zeka Arsa also lives in seclusion in the cities of the western part of the continent in order to enjoy a moment of freedom. ”
Kakano looked at the magic pet outside the protective bubble and smiled, although her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were full of confidence, and it seemed that she had some vague inferences and clues about Zeka Arsa's traces.
"I rented an ant cart nearby for transporting goods, and now the area that has been secretly blocked by the city wizard is not counted, there are quite a few places we can choose from, where do you think it is better to go first?"
Turning her head to look, Kakano nodded lightly when she saw the wooden 'ant cart' that Jack had found, she was very satisfied with the other party's efficiency and clever mind, and she could borrow better transportation at the wizard's station, but Jack chose an ordinary ant cart in order to avoid people's eyes.
"Farming areas, breeding pastures, purification pools, upper gardens, and the civilian black market, as the mentor was customary, to find the mid-range taverns and inns at the end, I guess it will take at least seven or eight days for us to complete these places. ”
Jack nodded after hearing the other party's words, although the 'Gray Eye City' only has a population of 800,000, but its scope and area are not small, it is estimated that it is more extensive than some metropolises on the earth with a population of tens of millions, even if it is more troublesome to use magic to detect and move.
Agricultural farmland, residential areas, breeding pastures, as well as urban armament and experimental land, the cities on this continent do not only provide shelter for people, because of the harsh environment of the continent, the various facilities for purification and reconstruction are compactly crowded together.
It is impossible to produce and work in a polluted desert, so every large city is almost a self-sufficient miniature state, and the sorcerers stationed there rely on magic to control the population and regulate the land, and if something goes wrong, they are responsible for dealing with it.
"Your Highness, I borrowed a map of Grey Eye City from the wizard's station, let's go to the purification pool today, it is estimated that we can finish half of it before dark, and after the search is completed tomorrow, we will briefly check the scattered pastures in the west, and then ......"
Jack laid out two light yellow drawings on the rented ant cart, and after pointing out the current location, he and Kacano planned the walking route for the next few days, and after a brief discussion, they drove the 'ant cart' towards the western part of the city.
At the same time, in the polluted area close to the 'Blue Water City', a group of cold-faced wizards were walking silently, and the extremely oppressive and heavy radiation power entangled between them.
"Mentor, we've got what you wanted. ”
With respectful expressions, the wizards slowly walked to a black forest that emitted a fragrant fragrance, and they knelt down and took out a transparent container shaped like a glass ball, in which a lot of strange flowers and dirt were stored.
"It's really hard for you in this environment......
Slightly tired and shaking his head slightly, a burly old man with gray hair slowly walked out of the woods, very strangely, the ground under his feet grew weeds and shoots, and the verdant plants were quietly spreading in this extremely polluted abandoned area.
"Mentor, it is rumored that Eskar Brans has discovered your lab, and in the last few days he has recruited a lot of people from the Western Wizarding School to send here, as if he is planning to make some big moves in the near future. ”
A small black-clad witch looked at the burly old man with great concern, she was not a bloodline wizard, but for the burly old man in front of her, Zeka Arsa admired and respected him very much, and she was worried that the mentor's research had been ruined.
"Eskar Brans, the bad boy who stole the work of Nanasha Fix, the Withered Witch, and you said he discovered my lab and recruited a lot of people from the school?"
The burly old man's eyes were shining with glowing eyes and gray hair after hearing the other party's words, and then he showed a faint smile, and his originally tired and sad body seemed to stand up.
"Hehe, Eska, you're such an interesting little fellow, Sophie, I'll leave the western region with those troublesome students in three days, and when I'm gone, you can help me run to Grey Eye and Blue Water, there are a few enchanted items that need to be activated......"
