Chapter 2: See the Red Wizard Again (part 2 of 3)
When he first entered the city, Bird was still in high spirits, and after a long walk, he felt that it didn't mean much, and it was getting late, so he planned to find a place to stay first. Bird didn't spend a lot of money to buy a whole house like in Anxi Town this time, Bird didn't plan to stay in Bloodsail City for a long time this time, but just passed by, so he honestly found a hotel and found a decent and quiet place.
Bird was holding the map at this time and kept looking around, trying to find some of the hotels marked on the map, and suddenly a touch of red appeared in front of Bird's eyes, how could anyone wear such eye-catching clothes in Bloodsail City, Bird has seen the most since entering the city is gray or white and black-based clothing, even green and blue are extremely rare, there is actually a person in a red robe here.
Bird looked horrified, wasn't that the red-robed wizard? In the centaur camp, beside the huge lake of the black crow, the memories in Bird's mind kept tumbling, although he had already known about the existence of this group of replicants before, but when he appeared in front of Bird's eyes again, Bird was still extremely shocked.
The red-robed wizard walked directly in front of Bird, and the passers-by on the side of the road were still talking and laughing as if they couldn't see the red-robed wizard. Bird wanted to pretend to be a pedestrian on the side of the road for an instant, as if he didn't see it, but the red-robed wizard noticed the gaze projected by Bird very sensitively, and also looked at Bird a few times, but did not stop beside Bird, but turned around and walked into a small alley next to Bird.
"This man doesn't seem to recognize himself?" Bird said secretly in his heart, "Or is he just pretending?", Bird glanced at the situation in the alley, the red-robed wizard seemed to have entered a storefront, Bird was afraid that it would attract the attention of the red-robed wizard, so he didn't dare to stay for long, so he quickly looked down at the map and quickly left here, but his fingernails had already marked the paper map and wrote down the alley.
Bird found a hotel not far from the alley but secluded, owned by an elderly couple. The night was dark, Bird had just finished meditating at this time, he had experienced a lot of things during this time, but he didn't expect that the strength of the original middle wizard apprentice began to loosen, and slowly developed in the direction of the senior wizard apprentice, Bird estimated that he should be able to break through to the high wizard apprentice after a while, but the speed of promotion was too fast, and Bird was still a little worried that there would be an unstable foundation, so a lot of time spent on meditation was spent on stabilizing the foundation.
Regarding the task of exploring unknown ruins, Bird thought that his mission might fail, because he didn't gain anything from the whole exploration, but the night before he was ready to set off from Anxi Town to Bloodsail City, the system task was actually judged to be completed, allowing him to obtain the architectural drawings of the Wizard Tower, a thin one pinched in his hand, in the eyes of others, it seemed to be a drawing with a tower, but in Bird's eyes, it was a different story, the building materials required for the first stage of the Wizard Tower drawings: Magic Stone Crystal × 5, Mithril Masonry × 5000, Eyes of the Void × 1, Bai De Rub × 20.
Of all these materials, the only thing Bird knows is Mithril, a tool often used in alchemy, and some common alchemy techniques, such as turning stones into gold, rely on Mithril. However, the price of Mithril is far more than the same amount of gold coins and even magic stones, as far as Bird knows, the Mithril in the Valley River Academy is definitely no more than twenty grams of deposit, so Mithril Masonry Bird has not seen it so far. And most importantly, these are the materials needed for the first phase, and Bird doesn't know how many more stages will follow, or even what the material requirements will become.
Therefore, with the current strength of the academy, building a wizard tower is simply a dream, when Bird first heard that the system task was completed, he was very happy, but as soon as he saw the building materials of this wizard tower, Bird was like a fish in his throat, and his face was extremely ugly.
Anyway, it would be nice to look at this wizard tower as a target, and Bird's mind turned quickly, so he put the blueprint away with peace of mind and prepared to rest. But there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and Bird didn't pay much attention at first, but it seemed that there was only one horse walking around the neighborhood, which was really annoying, and when Bird pushed open the window and looked out, there was no one in sight.
Bird got up early the next morning, because he still had to go to some large mercenary gathering places nearby, to ask if there was a mercenary group going to the Lack of Arrival Mountain, because he couldn't be sure if Duke would help him with his heart, or if he could find it, so Bird had to go to the large mercenary gathering place in Bloodsail City by himself, which was actually just a place where mercenary missions were issued.
I don't know if it was because the hotel was too remote and Bird walked out of the room, and he didn't see any of the other tenants get up, but the two old men got up early and greeted Bird, asking if Bird needed anything like breakfast.
"Did you hear the sound of horses' hooves last night?" Bird wanted to find a topic to get acquainted with the two old men, who were serving food and water for themselves, and Bird felt a little embarrassed.
"No" The other party replied very simply, and Bird suddenly felt that there seemed to be no possibility of continuing the topic, but after the two old men muttered in a low voice, they leaned over and said, "Guest, did you meet a dementor?" "Dementor? Soul Charmer?!" The old man nodded quickly in response, indicating that what Bird said was the same person as what he said.
"Probably not, I opened the window and saw nothing" "Maybe the guest heard about this rumor and thought too much about it at night and had auditory hallucinations" "Maybe" The two old men said on the side, but soon another tenant walked out, and after the two old men dispersed, Bird thought about the events of last night, and felt that it seemed fruitless to think about it on his own, so he finished eating and prepared to go out.
Looking at the place of the mercenary hall written on the map, Bird still involuntarily shifted his attention to the small alley where he was marked yesterday, if he wanted to go to the mercenary hall, he would definitely pass by this place, Bird didn't know if the red-robed wizard found him yesterday.
Thinking about it, he hadn't walked a few steps before he was already outside the alley, and Bird was still hesitating whether he wanted to go in, in case the red-robed wizard just pretended not to know him, and then laid some trap in the alley, wouldn't he deliver it to his door?
