Kaulgrei is a large city that has been established for less than 100 years, but both in terms of infrastructure and population density, it has far surpassed the current royal capital of the Principality of Kema.

And there were so many novelties that I had never heard of before, and even Captain Harry's airships were a rundre place there.

However, it is very difficult to settle there, you have to go through a series of audits, and you have to pay a lot of money, even for wizard apprentices.

Admission to Baidong Academy is free and open to all existences of official wizards and above.

"What if it's just for a short time?" Thor asked.

"Then you just have to pay this number. However, it needs to be reviewed on a regular basis. Pound pointed to Sol with a number.

Saul immediately gave up on the idea of going to Cowgli next.

During the conversation, the walls of Bluewater Bay were already close in sight, but Thor had not seen the "Blue Water" yet, and neither did the Black Water.

"Isn't Bluewater Bay waterfront?"

"Yes, but after the Great War a hundred years ago, the city of Bluewater Bay moved away from the sea. Over the years, the soul tide has become more and more frequent, and even the villages living near the water bay have all moved away. ”

Pound opened the wide window and pointed in the direction for Saul, "If you want to go to the beach, just follow that road and go south." ”

Listening to Pound's introduction, Thor slowly frowned, "Since the seaside has long been uninhabited, why is there a dock where the ship is docked?" ”

Pound's face was bitter, "Because it's cheap, my lord." However, in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer ships willing to dock in Bluewater Bay, and life has become more and more difficult. ”

Thor swept Pound's ten fingers, "Difficult? ”

"Haha," Pound tugged at the corners of his mouth awkwardly, "I don't do business in this area, I only occasionally come to see my wife and children who live here." ”

Thor naturally didn't care about Pound's private life, he left Pound mainly to learn about the soul tide.

"How much do you know about Soul Tides?"

"A lot, sir."

Pound's eyes lit up, and he knew that his chance to perform had come!

……

Thor didn't end up making it into the city of Bluewater Bay either. He asked Pound for a horse, and halfway through he turned silently onto the path to the bay.

Although the wealthy businessman Pound regretted not being able to invite Saul to his house to sit, he was more relieved about Saul's departure.

He told his men to hurry up and go home as soon as possible, but as soon as the carriage sped up, he saw a group of nobles waiting outside the city gate.

"Sir!" Outside the window, the slightly older attendant trembled softly and said, "Viscount Araf, Madame Schertley, Monsieur Audhu, please come and sit down for a while." ”

Pound was stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath.

On the other side, when Thor arrived at the beach, the sky was already gray.

Heavy clouds come into view almost instantaneously. The sky was still clear on the shore, but the sea was covered with dark clouds.

It's like a sharp blade that divides the sea and the land into two worlds.

Only the waves wrapped in white foam occasionally crossed the line. They are like the palms of struggling to survive, trying to climb ashore, but finally retreating in despair because of the indifference of the beach.

It wasn't all figurative. Thor squinted his eyes, and between the ebb and flow of the waves, there were occasional pairs of pale arms, knuckles grabbing at the shore menacingly, and they were quickly scattered by the waves.

"There's a real problem with the water here."

The sea in the past life is refreshing, but the sea in front of you always gives people a faint sense of season.

It's like you're not looking at the sea from the shore, but you're a drowning person who will sink forever to the bottom of the sea at any moment.

The farthest place where the sea and the sky converge is also distorted, pale gray and deep inky blue gradually merging together, but swallowing each other.

The skyline is not a straight line, but a twisted outline.

After only looking at this for a moment, Thor felt a little restless in his mental body, and he lowered his head, no longer looking at the end of the sky, but only focusing on the present.

"It's no wonder that the average person would rather spend a lot of money to move a city away. If you really live by the sea every day, looking at such a scene, 9 out of 10 will go crazy. ”

At this time, he was standing on a cliff some distance from the sea, and was about to fly to the bottom of the cliff to observe the water up close, when he heard other sounds mixed with the waves.

It was the sound of shoe soles rubbing against gravel shells, and the sound of marching against the waves.

Thor wanted to look around, and finally saw a dozen people on a flat sand ground below the cliff.

This group of people is male and female, old and young. Each of them had a thick hemp rope tied around his waist, and the hemp rope was tied to a larger stone on the shore in the distance.

Their eyes were covered with black scarves, their feet on the wet sand, and sometimes knee-deep water.

They take a step or two and then stop and reach into the water or sand to fumble their way.

Every time they bent over, they seemed nervous, their knees slightly bent and tense, ready to exert their strength at any time. It's as if they're not going to bend over, but they're ready to jump.

"These people...... Is it catching the sea? ”

Thor used his flying skills to silently jump off the cliff and land a hundred meters away from the men.

He took a few steps in the direction of the water, looked down at the beach where the waves plowed it, and found nothing.

"There are very few shells and seaweeds here. But there was no sign of anyone walking. It shows that it was not poached by people who drove the sea. It's this inaccessible place, where flora and fauna are inherently lacking. ”

At this time, Xiaozao suddenly took the initiative to burrow out of the back of Thor's neck, like a nimble little snake looking left and right.

"What did you find again?"

Algae immediately turned her head in the direction of the waves.

"Is it the breath of death?" Thor thought to himself, and took two more steps to the water.

Suddenly, he heard a frightened shout from the crowd.

He immediately turned his head to look, and saw that one of the men straightened his waist and ran in the direction of the rope without saying a word.

】

He didn't stop until the waves couldn't reach him. Obviously, it was only a few steps, and I was so tired that I bent over and gasped.

Apparently frightened.

Although Thor only turned his head to look after the other party shouted, his quick reflexes and excellent eyes allowed him to see clearly what was scaring the man.

It was a pair of miserable white hands, hidden in the same miserable white waves.

The hands turned into substance in an instant, and in an instant they grasped the wrists of the man who were groping in the sea.

So the man fled ashore in terror.

After the man fled, the others all stopped and straightened up. They turned their heads in black scarves in the direction of the man, and they were also very nervous. But after a few breaths, no one followed the man ashore.

They seem to be hesitating, hesitating, and reluctant.

After another minute of silence, the first man continued to bend over and grope for something in the sand, then the second, then the third......

Everyone's face was numb, even the little ones.

And the man who had been frightened away, after resting for a while on his knees on the shore, unexpectedly stretched the rope again, and after making sure that the rope was strong on the stones, he went out into the sea again.

"There should be something in the sea that can be sold for money." Thor simply walked over to the men's location, ready to ask directly.

At this moment, the accident was born again.

A boy suddenly slipped and fell into the water. He struggled to get up, but somehow managed to take two steps into the deep water.

After choking on the waves, he panicked and tugged on the rope around his waist to determine the direction of the shore.

But when he straightened the rope and climbed two more steps in the direction of the rope, he found that the water was deeper.

He had a frightened expression on his face that wasn't covered by the black scarf, and he obviously didn't know why this was happening.
