Chapter 90: The City of Enmat
Al slammed his foot behind the door and left.
After the steady footsteps outside the office faded away, Dai Li muttered to herself, "Captain Al, you're a little handsome." It's like Tingen's ......"
Her eyes were sometimes joyful, sometimes misty, as if she was caught up in her own memories.
Grandin, though a single dog, knows what he has to say now.
"Miss Daly. Loving this kind of thing is like riding a horse and speaking a foreign language. If you don't learn it when you're young, it's hard to get the hang of it. So don't be afraid, be brave and give it a try. ”
He said as he straightened his luggage.
He'll take the spiritual materials from the drawer, and the can of coffee in the closet will be cheaper for Captain El.
"It sounds like a middle-aged man who has been through a lot of vicissitudes."
Dai Li's tone was a little flustered.
"Yes, that's what Captain El said. His profession gave him a lot of experience, and the 'Midnight Poet' potion taught him how to express his emotions. So sometimes what he says is very profound and very meaningful. ”
Grandin picked up the brick book and gestured at the suitcase. It seems that the space in the box can no longer fit such a big thing.
"With such a romantic husband, his wife must be very happy." Dai Li said with some emotion.
"No, he's still single." Grandin got down on one knee and pressed it against the book, trying to stuff it into the box.
"Huh?"
Dali was a little surprised.
"Phew!"
Grandin struggled to close the suitcase and lock the buckles.
"Only if you're single, you'll be idle, think about this, right?" He took a breath and continued, "It's like only people who have never been in love can imagine the beauty of love and write pure and delicate words. And for those who have experienced it, the first thing that comes to mind is - 'Is she a hairless monster?' How can there be her hair everywhere. ’”
"This analogy of yours is a bit rude to the lady." Dai Li said angrily.
"I'm sorry, but I'm also deeply aware of how bad my character is."
But that sounds ...... You seem to have been through a lot? ”
Yes, that's right. Anyway, I'm also a keyboard powerhouse.
Grandin laughed at himself in his heart and said sincerely:
"Although I'm single, I read a lot of books, so I can naturally understand a little bit of everything."
Dalie looked sneered.
In his own team, a captain with rich life experience, he is still single. A member of the team with a lot of theoretical knowledge, he is still single.
She suddenly became pessimistic about her emotional path:
"Alas...... Night watchmen rarely seem to start families. ”
Before the atmosphere completely slipped into the abyss, Grandin forcibly changed the subject:
"Miss Dai Li, can you teach me how to make that fluorescent potion?"
It was too extravagant to use glowstone powder as an emergency light source, and it burned him 1 gold pound in the short time he was in the cabin. And Daly's fluorescent potion seems to be reusable.
"It's called a tracking potion, and glowing is just one of its properties."
Dai Li pulled back her melancholy thoughts and took out the dark green potion from her waist. She lifted the cap of the bottle and poured some on her hand, and the liquid was colorless and transparent.
Only then did Grandin realize that it was because of the tan bottle that the potion showed a fluorescent green color.
"You can use it to mark an enemy, or to drop it to the ground, and the person who steps on it will leave a clear footprint, so we can track the target."
"Of course, if you want to see the mark, you'll have to drink a specific potion or wear special glasses. It's easy to make, I'll tell you the recipe, you can memorize it......"
Throughout the morning, Grandin had been learning how to make potions from Daly. By the time he left the Nightwatchman's station in the afternoon, he had fully mastered the crafting method.
But Professor Philip's progress was not so smooth.
When he visited in the afternoon, he noticed that the old professor's complexion was improving, and it seemed that the amulet had indeed worked. After a brief small talk, he paid a deposit for the shock bomb and then offered to customize a firearm.
"It has to be quiet enough to fire, powerful enough to shoot far, disassemble so I can carry it around, adapt to a variety of warheads, and be easy to maintain."
"With this ability, I can still live here?"
Old Mr. Philip was furious when he heard these outrageous demands. But after gasping for breath and getting angry, he agreed.
"I'll give it a try, and I'll just challenge myself."
With that, he kicked Grandin out of his house.
"After this challenging job, the old gentleman probably doesn't have much time to miss the past."
Grantin nodded, thinking he had done another good thing.
The madder sunset shone down the ramp on him, and he walked briskly towards the dinner place.
......
"Woo-woo-"
Thursday at noon.
With the high-pitched, long, roar of the steam train, Grandin's feet finally set foot on the land of Enmat.
He watched as the train turned a corner and headed in the direction of the port.
Yesterday at the dinner table, Grandin asked Daly for a lot of news about the city of Enmat. For example, the locals don't like to call it 'Port of Enmat', but will emphasize that it is 'Port of Enmat'.
The city, with its nearby suburbs, has a population of less than a million and is one-sixth the size of Beckland.
It spreads along the shore and is generally in the shape of a long strip. There are huge complexes along the coast, and those are mostly warehouses and docks. The closer you get to the port, the more prosperous it is, and the farther west you go, the more fields you have.
Presumably in case of hurricanes, the buildings here are not very tall, with a mix of wooden and stone houses, and the tallest is only three floors.
The most visible symbol of the city is a huge, standing white lighthouse! The brass bell hangs two-thirds of the way around the tower, and a huge searchlight is at the top.
"This is the place."
Grandin's eyes were deep, and he remembered the great white tower that Crane had divined.
"But there's no need to rush to investigate......
Considering that this was the home of the Storm Church, he decided to figure out the situation first.
After getting off the steam train, his current location is in the southern district of Enmat.
To his left is a gentle hill. On the hills, the colorful wooden houses are brightly colored and full of interest. And the more upwards, the neater the house becomes. By the time you reach the top of the hill, the architecture has become magnificent, and there is a solemn church at the top.
"That's probably the 'Tide Church' of the Church of the Storm? So the South District is the rich area, right? ”
Grandin took it to heart.
The sea breeze brought a salty taste, and Grandin pressed his hat and joined the crowd as he walked out of the platform.
He was looking for the 'Guns N' Tavern near the platform.
It wasn't difficult, and after a little inquiry, he found the place.
