Abidis casually picked up a bottle of purple potion on the table, shook it slightly, and the liquid inside also shook, and a red light flashed away, like embers blown by the wind. This thing has to do with Melly. The recovery potion made by Lauren is similar, and it doesn't look like it can send people to that place. Abidis thought to herself.

"Can I go see the kid?" He asked Kakireć, who was experimenting inside.

"Yes, but don't do something stupid, don't let him find out, don't reveal our purpose."

"And where is he? Tell me about it. ”

"Deadwood Province, lord of Rand Town, called Kane. Sivir. It's the place where the Dark Altar appeared last time, and the aura of the listening book has been eliminated by the guys from the Magic Association and the Church, and it is completely impossible to see what it looked like before the Dark Altar. Kakirech stood in front of the salamander's biological chart, holding a black marker in his hand, and added a few striking red marks to the diagram, as if he were taking important notes.

"It's a wonderful coincidence, and since it's a familiar place, I don't have to look around. I'm going to take my leave tonight, and I'm going to see our "hopes". ”

Abides used the word "hope" very accurately, at least in Carquirech's opinion.

Kane rode his horse in the direction of his home, and every now and then he took a sip of the liquor to keep it warm, and the bottle had bottomed out under his frequent visits, and when he picked it up again and poured it into his mouth, not a drop of wine had come out of the mouth. That's when he realized that the bottle was empty.

The journey without alcohol was a bit difficult, but luckily he was on the paved avenue, and even if he couldn't see his surroundings, he knew he wasn't far from home. Because he had brought someone to repair it not long ago, the road through a small area of dead forest was a shortcut, through a dead forest about a thousand meters wide, and then it could go straight to the town of Rand.

It took a lot of time to go around the entire forest, and by the time he was about to get out of the forest, Kane could already see the outline of Rand Town in front of him. The whole town didn't sleep, and there were some places where the lights were bright.

Taverns, rosé districts, boxing rings, and other places are open almost all night, and although Rand is still called a town, he is actually the size of a small city, and the prosperity is no less than that of some cities. The prosperity of this place is also thanks to the adept management of Lady Carney, who is the titular lord of Kane, but who actually governs the entire territory.

Kane is grateful to her for that, and to Arya for bringing her right-hand man here. And Kani is also very loyal to him, and has no intention of overpowering him.

When they arrived at the gray gate made of rock, the guards on patrol at the head of the city saw that it was their lord, and they immediately opened the gate with great spirits, and they straightened up, their spears stood in front of them, and their eyes were determined to welcome Kane into the city. Kane bowed his head in affirmation.

In front of a small manor with a flower garden, Kane led the horse into the stable next to the wooden fence, and in the dim kerosene light, Kane tied the reins and closed the stable, passing by the flower bed with goose-yellow flowers, and noticed that the window on the left side of the house was still shining.

Is there anyone who hasn't slept? Could it be that Carney is busy working out Rand's development again? Kane questioned, took out the key and opened the door to the brown iron tree. The wooden door creaked, this door is always like this, every time it is opened, it will sound well, it is fine during the day, and it is especially loud when you open the door at night.

When the door creaked, Arya, who was asleep by the flame-extinguished fireplace, broke open her sleepy eyes, and the red blanket that covered her body slipped to the ground. She reached out and rubbed her eyes, and said, "You're back." ”

Kane stepped forward to pick up the blanket and put it back on her, but she refused. I just heard her say, "I'll go and make you something to eat." ”

Kane refused, "No, I've already eaten at the tavern before I came back, and I'm not hungry yet." Didn't I tell you that I don't have to wait until the evening when I go out? ”

Arya smiled and replied, "Before going out today, I saw that your face was not quite right, and I was a little worried, so I thought about waiting for a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep after waiting." ”

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"But your face still doesn't look a good now, is something really going on? Can you tell me about it, I can't help much, but it might make you feel more comfortable saying it. Arya took the kettle from the stove and poured him a cup of hot water and handed it to Kane.

Kane took the water glass, sat on the upholstered sofa, sighed, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, but I was called to try a potion again today." I've gained power this way before, and this time again, only this time it's a little different than the last time. It's a bad feeling to be treated as an experiment. Kane told the story of what had happened, and at the same time some of his grievances in passing.

What really made him uncomfortable was the feeling of being treated as a test subject, and he couldn't refuse. At first, he longed to gain power and become strong in this way, and then he had a chance to survive in such a cruel situation of this dynasty. However, when he gained these powers, he found himself in that moment as a pawn, an experiment.

"Maybe one day I'll lose my value from an experimental product to an experimental waste, and it doesn't seem so easy to survive." Kane's voice was suddenly filled with emotion.

As if understanding his suffering, Arya sat beside him and comforted, "One day you will be strong enough to control your own destiny, and even those who have been above you will bow down to you." Now Rand is growing fast, it's a city with great potential, and the nobles in the neighborhood who want you to die are afraid of you, they're afraid of you, they're afraid of you. Here, you have a strong army and subjects, and that day will come eventually. ”

She held Kane's hand, and the warmth came from her palm, which also made Kane feel a little reassured. For some reason, she can always bring Kane a sense of peace of mind, with her, Kane has the warmth of home, every time she comes back, she greets Kane with a warm smile, silently by Kane's side, paying attention to his mood changes.

Kane took a sip of hot water, the lingering smell of spirits in his mouth. He leaned back on the couch and lay down on his back, slowly closing his eyes to feel Arya's delicate skin.

"Hopefully." He said.

The two of them sat down for a while, feeling each other's breath, and sat quietly on the sofa, the kerosene lamp emitting a soft orange glow. The light shone on both of them, and the shadows behind them spilled on the walls, snuggling up to each other.

Abydes used the teleportation circle to teleport directly to Rand Town, where a team of four patrolling guards patrolled the city. But they were not aware of the sudden teleportation of Abides, and they continued to walk forward with neat steps. Abides appeared like a ghost at the guest table outside a store, and he glanced back at the guards who patrolled by, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

It was obvious that he had come to Rand so late to see for himself the man chosen by Kakireich. But Abydes doesn't seem to know where Kane's residence is, but that doesn't bother him, and it's best to ask where he knows where it is.

Along where the lights were on, he walked all the way to the local tavern where he had been partying all night. He knew it was an intelligence outpost, and there were all kinds of locals here, and it was easy to ask you what you wanted to know if you were willing to have a drink.

It was a skill he had mastered shortly after arriving in Harrens to inquire about information, which he had not had in such a convenient place to live and lurk among the tribes of the Northlands. They have to pay a lot of money to know some information, and intelligence is like a valuable commodity, and the information dealers clearly mark the price according to their importance, and even the simplest, most inquiring information needs to exceed the price of a glass of Longwill here, or even more than ten times higher.

Therefore, Abythes still thinks that it is convenient here, and the level of civilization is indeed much higher than that of their Northland, even if the Northland is a little lower, the civilization of the Frost and Snow Dynasty sandwiched between the Northland and Harrence is not as advanced here. He had been to the Frost and Snow Dynasty many times, and every time he went, he felt that although it was called a dynasty, it gave him the impression that it was just about the same as some tribes in their northern lands, only a little bigger, a little more populous, and a little more civilized than all the tribes there.

And the level of civilization is only a little higher, just a little, not too much. The reason why I think this way is because the Frost and Snow Dynasty did not use technology like Harrence here, they only believe in magic, and avoid science and technology as a flood beast. If anyone dares to try to put forward the concept of science and technology, it is estimated that this person will be sent to the execution table as a heretic of the country.

This concept of theirs also had a slight influence on the Northlands, and some tribes also forbade the use of science and technology and devoted themselves to the arcane magic of magic. But these tribes did not include Abydes's tribe, and they even wished that they could master these powerful technologies and use them as if they were magic, otherwise they would not have allowed Kakirech to go to Harrence and use alchemy to find a way to enter that place.

Abides looked up at the sign above her head, "New Withered Forest Tavern" added the word "new", maybe because this tavern was not here before, Abides guessed in his heart. An old signature tavern was more effective when he inquired about it, and he pushed open the wooden door that was permeated by the smell of wine.

The space inside was spacious, and the layout was different from what he had seen in Carrot City, where there were many tables for six to eight people. But there are only three long tables in the tavern, each of which can seat a dozen people. Everyone sits together, whether they recognize each other or not.

Therefore, the atmosphere here is also more lively, everyone does not drink quietly, and plays various wine table games at the wine table, playing cards, throwing chess pieces, guessing numbers, etc. are the most common. Abides went to the front desk and asked the fat boss with two beards for a normal beer, and the boss saw that he was an outsider, so he recommended him to the tavern specialty.

"I think you look like a foreigner, maybe you should try our special wine, the Baiguo wine. Once you've drunk it, you'll never forget it. He said as he wiped the barrel.

Abidis was intrigued by the wine he had recommended, so he ordered a glass.

"Okay!" The fat boss picked up the glass keg and went back to fill it before it came out, and he poured a large glass into the glass in front of Abides.

"Please take your time." He made a gesture of please, and looked at Abides, as if convinced that the out-of-town guest would be amazed by his home-brewing wine.

Abides smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to try the taste, and as soon as the wine entered her throat, a mixed aroma bloomed in her mouth.
