Chapter 22 Okay, Accept

The group had arrived at the beach adjacent to the water city at this moment, and the beach was foggy at the moment, and it was almost impossible to reach out to five fingers.
At this time, a small boat swayed by.
"Hey, we're here!" Andrew shouted in a low voice.
Linton felt a little uneasy when he saw Andrew's appearance, so cautious, and then thought of the mages who attacked before.
The five of them got on the boat, and the boatman paddled the water with a paddle to let the boat move forward cautiously, while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"Why are you so careful, you can't see far away in the fog now, and even if anyone doesn't show up at this time." Linton pouted.
"Hey, you little ghost, you know what, if we really let those magicians find out, we're done! This is in the water, and the magicians of those water countries can exert extraordinary strength, not to mention that you only have one high-level magician, even if there are a few more, you have to explain here. When the boatman saw that Linton had so much to look down on himself, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Shhhh Quiet up, y'all of you! Andrew was a little angry, this group of people actually made a lot of noise at this time, didn't this tell others to kill themselves.
The boatman hurriedly lowered his voice, "Let me tell you, this is also because of the fog that I dare to come out to cross the river, otherwise, I will not be able to take you across the river at all!" ”
After the boatman finished speaking, he did not continue, but rowed seriously and watched around vigilantly.
Linton closed his mouth in displeasure.
The boat continued on its way, and after about a quarter of an hour, the boatman said, "We will reach the bridge ahead, and you will be safe when you cross the bridge!" ”
After listening to the boatman's words, Linton immediately looked up, only to see a huge shadow vaguely appear in the fog in front of him, which seemed to be a bloodthirsty beast in the dark night, and like a blooming peach blossom.
But as the boatman's boat got closer, a huge structure appeared in front of Linton.
It was a huge bridge, not yet completed, but it looked like it was already surprising to Linton. Each pillar of the bridge was incomparably huge, as if it were a foot of a god, falling from the sky and stepping on the water, and Linton estimated that each pillar was as thick as a house.
"Wow, that's spectacular!" Linton couldn't help but exclaim, he had never seen such a majestic building, it could be said that such a building could be thousands of times larger than the Magister Hall.
"Mr. Andrew, is this the bridge you built?" Nebauniel said almost with his mouth covered.
"Well, but the bridge hasn't been built yet, it's just been built." Andrew said.
"This, only, only half of it!" Even Bode had to exclaim, such a project could be said to be the most magnificent building they had ever seen, but this was only half of it, so if it was all completed, what would it look like, how magnificent it would be, it was really a tower.
"Mr. Andrew, by now, I have to make it clear to you that your mission has already involved the magicians of the Water Country, so if you don't explain everything clearly, wait for the shore and we will leave! The mission is truly over, and that's it. Vernal glanced at the huge bridge, and his heart was also shocked, but he was not blinded by the scene in front of him, but he just felt that since such a huge project, and there was a magician to kill Andrew, this task was probably very problematic.
Seeing Vernal frowning, Andrew coughed dryly, and he said slowly: "Okay, now, I have to tell you the truth."
I will tell you everything, without reservation, but you must keep me safe. ”
"Let's wait until you finish talking about protection, we don't know how difficult the task is yet, if we really can't complete it, even if we want to protect you, we can't do it." Vernal said cautiously.
"It all starts with a character, I'm sure you've heard of this person, he's Booz." Andrew finished speaking and glanced at Vernal and Linton and the others.
Sure enough, Vernal's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Buzi, is it the legendary rich Buzi?" ”
"Yes, that's him!" Andrew nodded, as if getting a hint of recognition from Vernal's face, "That Buzz, he is the richest person in the entire Northwest Territory, and he also claims to be the richest person in the world!" ”
"Wow, the richest man in the world, what's going on?" Linton interjected.
"He is the owner of the shipping company, but you don't look at him on the surface that he is running a shipping company, in fact, he is doing some drugs and contraband business behind his back, otherwise he would not make so much money, you must know that it is not easy for every successful businessman to make money, others may have to go through several generations of accumulation to be able to achieve such an achievement as him, but he has achieved such an achievement in just a few years, it is really incredible, right?" Andrew glanced at Linton and said.
Linton nodded, he didn't know about making money, but he also knew that it was not so easy to make money in this world, and ordinary magicians could only get high returns by taking on some dangerous tasks, but even so, these high returns were only a drop in the bucket compared to the richest man in the world.
Therefore, many magicians will take risks and do things that harm the interests of civilians in order to obtain greater returns, such as the business of drugs and contraband.
And this Buz seems to have started with this, otherwise he wouldn't have become the richest man in the Northwest so easily.
"Yes, this Booz became the richest man by relying on this kind of business, since he had it, he has been more unscrupulous, and his subordinates have adopted a lot of magicians to do things for him, including some high-level magicians, and they have also become Buzz's lackeys willingly." Andrew said resentfully, his face turning from a flush to a pale.
"Speaking of which, you haven't said why Bouz sent a magician to assassinate you." Vernal asked, frowning.
"Ahem, this is going to start with our water city." Andrew coughed dryly twice and continued: "Water City is the only city in the entire Water Country that is completely an island, although this city does not look very rich on the outside, but in the poor Water Country, it is already the richest city, and the finances of the Water Country are completely dependent on the income of Water City. However, since Buzz fell in love with this place, he immediately used money and evil forces to plunder this place, and finally the only shipping system in the entire water city was occupied by Buzz. ”
Speaking of this, the boatman behind him also seemed to feel something and sighed.
"Since Buzz occupied the shipping here, he began to monopolize the source of all goods, which made the entire water country a product of Buzz's control, and the result was that the military, politics and economy of the water city fell into the hands of Buzz, Buz is a ruthless guy, after he took charge of the water city, the people are constantly exploited, and in the end everyone can't eat.
That's when I decided to build a bridge so that the people of the city could enter and leave the city freely. Of course, when I made this proposal, it was also recognized and supported by the people of Shuicheng, but it deeply touched the interests of Booz, and once the bridge I built was completed, the shipping monopoly of Bouz would be immediately disrupted.
At that time, people may not use his shipping system at once, he will not only lose the benefits of shipping, but also lose the monopoly effect of the water city, it can be said that this is a thing that benefits the people, but it stings Buz.
So he was desperate to stop me from completing the bridge, and he also sent a magician to hunt me down. Andrew told the cause and effect of the incident in one breath.
"In that case, when you put a bounty on the mission, why don't you explain that you have already reached the B level of the mission, and you need more rewards to complete it." Vernal said impatiently.
"In fact, whether it is Water Country or Water City, we spent a lot of manpower and material resources when building this bridge, and now we have no money, and we can't afford to hire the magicians needed for B-level tasks." Andrew said helplessly.
"In that case, then we will be separated from you as soon as we go ashore, so that we can go back and hand in the mission." Vernal said ruthlessly.
"Woooooo Andrew immediately burst into tears, whimpering and saying, "It's none of your business, but I guess they killed me on the way home after I got ashore, but that's okay, only my three-year-old grandson will be sad for me." ”
Listening to Andrew's cry, and what he said about a three-year-old child, Linton and Nebornier suddenly showed sympathetic looks, and even Vernal was touched in his heart when he saw this scene.
"And my seventeen or eighteen-year-old daughter, she may cry for me as an old man, but he will definitely hold a grudge against the magician of Ox Village for the rest of his life." Andrew continued to howl.
"Hey, forget it, in that case, let's continue to keep you safe." By this time, even Vernal, who had always been calm, could not withstand such sadness. He then agreed to Andrew's request and continued to protect Andrew's safety.
Hearing this, Andrew immediately put on a posture of victory, and the sad expression just now suddenly rolled out of the clouds.
The boat continued on its way, finally crossing the bridge and entering a picturesque place.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Linton was also stunned by the scene in front of him, but he didn't expect that after the fog, the scene here was like a fairyland.
"Alright, I'll take you here." The boatman docked the boat and let the five men ashore.
"Be careful......" Andrew thanked the boatman.
