Chapter 10: Into the City of Eton

Anxiously coming out of the lab, Colin walked briskly into the study, grabbing the Travelogue Scholar's Registration Disc, a few small spell scrolls, and some odd knick-knacks. He put them all in his satchel, went downstairs, took the cane by the door and went out.

"Sauer!" As soon as he was out of the door, Colin shouted in the direction of Sauer next door.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Sauer family will not be here. Colin waited for a short meeting and did not respond, so he took out the note in his satchel, wrote a few simple words asking Sauer to help take care of the house, pasted it on the door of Sauer's house, turned around and walked away quickly.

Colin had a hunch that the trip would not be an easy one: he might well have been embroiled in a huge conspiracy between two empires, or even an entire continent. Dangerous, difficult, but Colin still chose to get involved. It may have been an impulse, but Colin could not allow the Viscount he had seen in the tavern to be assassinated and the people singing and dancing with the people.

Or perhaps Colin remembered the words on the title page of the First Scholar's Notes:

"I have traveled to the mainland with only two grand wishes: to set the right path of the world and rise to the top. - Heklas (???~130?)

Traveling scholars are supposed to be a group of people who travel all over the world and solve all kinds of problems for all kinds of people and so on to get the capital of life research. At the same time, it also implements the "justice of Heklas" in the world, that is, to protect the survival of mankind and prevent war.

Of course, there are many future generations who do not know how to learn and do not understand the significance of this great mission. Of course, it was only after carefully reading some of Heklas's writings that Colin came to a superficial understanding of the significance of this mission.

Heklas believed that each human being was part of a larger "racial will", and it was this will power that prevented the superior in the dream from directly influencing the real world. The reason for this is that the willpower of the superior is too great, just like a large iron ball will be blocked in the shallow layer when it smashes into the sand, but a small sharp needle is easier to pierce inside. Through the study and analysis of history, Heklas also found that large-scale superior disasters often occur when human countries are at war and the population is greatly reduced. This made Heklas hate the war very much, he was the one who had personally faced the superiors, and he knew very well how the superiors would treat mortals like mustard, and that kind of disaster the world simply could not bear.

Colin wasn't exactly a wandering scholar, but this may also have something to do with his early exposure to the journals of ancient travelers, and the ambitions of some of the great ancient sages influenced Colin's character to a greater or lesser extent. This can also be seen in his usual behavior: his fearless curiosity, his calm composure in dealing with crises, and his ability to think rationally.

At this time, Colin had already walked seven or eight kilometers along the road to Eton City, and happened to come across a carriage from the nearby town of Adlar to the city, and gave the coachman a silver coin and the driver agreed to his request to ride to Eton City. And Colin was also happy, sitting on the roof of the truck and taking out a copy of "Geography of the Eastern Continent" and reading it.

The truck creaked in the direction of Eton City. It's just afternoon, and Colin reckons that the car should arrive at its destination this evening, when he should go to his former boss, Jimmy, and settle down in his tavern before making the next move.

......

Your drank the last sip of fruit wine, a pot she drank for a morning and a noon. The drinkers around him changed one after another, and your carefully collected useful information from the conversations of the guests: some of the lord's decrees and traces in the past few days, the area guarded by the soldiers, and so on.

Standing up, your left the bustling square, walked down a dark alley, and walked around until he came to the black market that he had heard from a drinker.

The black market in Eaton City is located in an empty yard in the patio of a moulding building near the mercenary rally, half on the ground and half in the sewer directly below. The rule here is "clean on it, and don't see the light with blood." "There is also a big difference between the goods sold in the upper and lower districts. What is sold on the ground is often the valuables smuggled by relatively large smuggling gangs, and the things underneath are often rare treasures that cannot be quickly realized after killing people and overselling goods.

Your wasn't here to buy anything, she needed something that would cause chaos. She knew very well that the space under her feet was full of blood-licking thugs, and it was these people she was looking for. Your plan was clear, she wanted to cause as much chaos as possible in order to cover her tracks, so that she could be a sharp knife to the back of her target in the heart in the panicked crowd.

From the mouth of an open manhole to the sewer, there were a few vicious hawkers squatting on the dry ground on both sides of the pipe, and behind each hawker there was a black hole in the main waterway, and the sound of breathing came faintly from inside. It should be the accomplices of these hawkers. Gangs commit crimes, sell stolen goods, and distribute stolen goods, this is the operation mode of the most common gangsters on the mainland.

Finding a random vendor, your tossed a gold coin and glanced at the vendor who caught it towards the hole.

The peddler hurried into the dark hole beside him, and there was a muffled whisper, and in a few moments a sturdy one-eyed man with a scarred face strode out of the hole.

"What do you need?" asked the big man in a low voice.

"There's a caravan in this city called Calendula that has a purple cat's eye hedron in its cargo that I want to get within a week. With that, you took out a small bag of gold coins, "This is a deposit, a total of 50 coins." When this is done, I will only need the gem, and the rest will be yours, and I will give you another 200 gold coins when I deliver it. ā€

Dahan pondered for a moment, took the gold coin bag, and said in a deep voice: "After the matter is completed, the small post station on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city will be delivered, and there is a well at the door. Then he returned to the dark hole.

Your smiled and turned to leave. Now she was about to make her second move, and back to the surface from the well, your walked towards the mercenary assembly not far away.

......

Colin sat on the roof of the van and bumped all the way, and finally arrived in Eaton City in the evening. Entering the heavily guarded gates, Colin said goodbye to the coachman and hurried to Jimmy's broken pocket. He's going to settle there, and he's going to investigate the traces of any female assassins he's seen before. Colin wasn't sure if there were any other accomplices in the city, but it was certain that the operation was headed by the female Assassin.

A short time later, Colin arrived at the tavern, which was still bustling at night, and Jimmy was busy greeting customers at the counter. When Colin came in, he was pleasantly surprised to put down what he was doing, walked over briskly in greeting, and gave the former bard-in-residence a hug.

"What are you doing here when you don't take care of the manor in the town, it's not been peaceful in the city these days!" Old Jimmy sat down at an empty table with Colin, and ordered the waiter to serve two glasses of maple wine: this was Colin's favorite wine.

"It's not peaceful, it looks like I've come to the right place. As if he had received some confirmation, Colin asked, "Tell me what has happened in the past few days?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, the wine is coming soon, take a sip and then say, my mouth is very dry now, and it has to be moisturized." ā€

After a while, the waiter brought two glasses of wine, and Jimmy raised his glass to take a sip before saying, "I'll tell you about ......."
