The metal bracelet shimmered and changed out of thin air, turning into a fist-sized, pure black metal ball.

"Please put this gold coin away. It allows you to move around Kata unhindered, and it can store the information you need. ”

"Thank you, wizard." Leon walked up to the metal cabinet, pulled open the drawer, and threw the gold coins inside.

The gold coins tumbled down the drawer and quickly disappeared.

“……”

Leon touched the corner of his forehead, resisting the urge to smash the gold coin, nodded at Arthur, and walked to another table.

On the table was a stack of thick paper scrolls and a stack of yellowed parchment books.

Arthur said, "These are the daily experiences and habits recorded by wizards, some of which they have personally experienced, some of which they have guessed and observed. While they don't have much evidence, I think these things should help you settle into Katari as quickly as possible. ”

"Hmm."

Leon picked up the parchment book and flipped through it, reading page by page, and found that it was all about the sorcerer's prophecies of disaster and chaos.

For example, some wizards once saw a disaster happen somewhere, but were rescued by a powerful wizard.

Another example is that a wizard once captured a powerful monster with his own hands, and was eventually killed, leaving behind a pile of bloody skeletons.

Another wizard proposed to gather wizards from all over the country to explore an underground tunnel, but was attacked by an unknown beast and suffered heavy losses, so he had to retreat.

The author of such a book is clearly not at ease, hoping to use the power of the wizard to destroy the beast and the tunnel.

However, none of the wizards believed it.

The wizarding world worships the law of the jungle, and wizards don't easily believe other people's lies. What's more, these things that don't even have a shadow.

Therefore, once such books are printed, they will scatter like snowflakes and be destroyed.

Leon closed the parchment book and frowned, "Aren't there any other clues?" ”

Arthur shook his head, "Other than that, the other wizards are quite optimistic. However, I guess they're all pretending to be relaxed.

These people, I am afraid, have fallen into despair, and plan to take advantage of the night to escape from Katari. ”

Leon sighed silently.

The lifespan of wizards is too short, and even with the protection and support of the Wizards Association, there are still many wizards who cannot survive for long.

They will be forced to flee and seek refuge from the Wizarding Society.

The Wizards' Guild will nurture and control these people.

These wizards will become employees of the Wizards' Guild, doing groceries, repairing equipment, and so on; At the same time, they will also be supervised and constrained by the Wizarding Association, and even forced to join the association.

The social relations of wizards are so complex that even the wizarding guild has a hard time fully grasping the situation.

The social system of wizards is far more complex and changeable than that of ordinary secular society.

Leon muttered in a low voice, turned his head to Arthur and said, "Do you have any friends?" I'd like to talk to a few people. ”

Arthur hesitated, "Friend? Well, I don't have any real friends, just two. ”

"Oh, then let's contact them first, and by the way, give them the files of those wizarding associations." Leon pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Arthur to take a seat, "The two wizards you just talked about...... Are they all in Katari? ”

"Yes, one of them is on duty outside, and the other is in the office building."

Arthur sat in his chair, picked up his laptop, and typed down a few words.

Leon glanced at it.

Arthur:

[The one on duty outside is named Roger Black, a fifty-year-old man who likes to drink and gamble. We occasionally bump into each other outside. 】

[In the office building, named Floyd Patton, is a tall and thin man in his forties, very cautious, very careful, an out-and-out wizard. He always takes his cat with him. 】

"Who's that cat?" Li Ang asked with interest.

Arthur was stunned, his cheeks slightly red, and he smiled awkwardly, "It's a pet." ”

Li Ang said thoughtfully: "It seems that you also like small animals." ”

"Uh...... Well, it's okay. Arthur hesitated, "That cat, it's a stoat." ”

The ferret, a petite, fluffy, fluffy little animal. In the wizarding world, the stoat is one of the most dangerous beasts.

Wizards would tame stoats and use them as mounts and servants. When the wizards need to hurry, the stoats will run with the wizards on their backs.

Arthur was a hunter, and he hunted a lot, but only one small animal like a rabbit or pheasant could be caught at a time.

Arthur is a little nostalgic for the free and easy life he used to have.

Since he was a child, he has longed to embrace the sun and enjoy family fun. But the Wizarding Guild's brutal competition and endless battles wore away his expectations of freedom.

It wasn't until he met the chief wizard of the Wizarding Guild that Arthur regained his dreams of youth.

In this world, the life of wizards is very monotonous and boring, and they do not have any entertainment except for the necessary cultivation. The only thing that can be done is to study, fight, and exercise.

But Arthur felt that the wizards lacked a cute and intelligent pet, so he wanted to buy one and keep it home.

Arthur's parents agreed, and were willing to pay for him, including the purchase of the Catari Diaries.

On the title pages of these books, there are some experiences and lessons learned by shamans as they excavated monuments.

Li Ang browsed casually, and suddenly noticed a sentence, "I heard that a huge ancient castle hidden in the mist has appeared in this land, and it is said that it is a palace built by an ancient hero, with mysterious powers, and can change the pattern of the entire world. ”

Arthur shook his head and explained with a wry smile, "It's fake. ”

"Oh," Leon nodded, "Indeed. ”

He flipped through two more pages of the book when he suddenly saw a passage.

"This is a historical book about the Well of Oblivion. It is said that hundreds of years ago, a powerful wizarding kingdom was born here.

The lord of the kingdom, possessing extraordinary strength and wisdom, able to communicate with the Netherworld Abyss, and wielding powerful magic, is the greatest being in all of Katari.

Later, however, the lord of the kingdom disappeared. The city-state under his command also disappeared with him, and never returned to Katari, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

It is said that the inhabitants of those city-states were swallowed by a strange black storm. ”

Arthur sighed and said, "I've heard my father talk about these things, but they're legends. We are just a bunch of lowly civilians who cannot comprehend what is beyond our imagination.

Moreover, the wizards did not believe that the inhabitants of the city-states had disappeared because of witchcraft, and they preferred to believe that some powerful wizard had cast an evil spell that had caused the city to fall into ruins.
