Chapter 58: The Island
In the blink of an eye, it's Friday again.
The sky of Lallaye is still shrouded in white mist, and the people of Lallaye have clearly felt that the sky has become more gloomy and the city has become more oppressive.
The purple-clothed archbishop of the Church of Mechanics was also visibly aware of this, so he flew into the sky to see why the white mist had increased.
He still found nothing, but vaguely sensed that the white mist was coming from the sea, and thought it was not harmful, so he gave up going to the sea to explore and returned to the Cathedral of the Church of Mechanics, Lalleyer.
Seven o'clock tonight is the time for the Transcendents to gather.
The black steam wagon sped south along the Boulevard of the Civic District, three blocks to the mercenary quarter.
This time Wallace didn't drive the steam carriage himself, but had Cole send someone to drive it.
Along the way, Wallace and Anna sat in the back and snuggled up to each other and chatted.
Wallace took out the apology gift given to him by Philoiméa the day before yesterday - a medium-level bat-winged artifact.
This blood-red bat wing can be large or small, making it easy to carry.
Wallace held the already small blood-red bat-winged in the palm of his right hand, and then handed it to Anna and said: "Anna, give you this mid-level blood-red bat wing, you need this strange thing more than me, your body's defense ability is too poor now, you can take this alone in the future, I can rest assured." ”
"I don't want it, we mediums don't need this bat wing, it's too ugly, and I have a flying curiosity.
To show you, although this one is not as capable of attacking as your mid-level one, it is also a rare treasure among low-level strange things. ”
Anna suddenly pulled two small threads on both sides of her chest, and in an instant a pair of white swan wings grew behind her.
"Aren't your family a ruined aristocracy, why are there so many good things?" asked Wallace, looking at Anna with some confusion.
Anna rolled her eyes in annoyance, and then watched Wallace explain the concept of a broken aristocracy.
"In fact, as long as there are nobles without fiefs in the Bauhinia Kingdom, they are called broken nobles, and when our Bauhinia Kingdom was first established, they all had fiefs.
However, as it has been passed down from generation to generation, it has gradually lost its territory due to various circumstances, which is why we call it a broken aristocracy.
Now you understand, but it doesn't mean that we have lost our family heritage, but it does not rule out that a few dilapidated nobles have indeed lost their family heritage, but some low-level strange things in my family still have a collection. ”
Wallace gently stroked the swan's wings, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"I thought the two lines on your clothes were just decorations, but I didn't expect that as soon as I pulled the small thread in the front, two seams appeared in the back, and wings could emerge. ”
"Hee-hee, this is a custom-made dress that I personally found someone to order, and you can't buy this kind of clothes in ordinary stores. ”
Anna explained to Wallace with a proud smile.
Wallace looked at the sky outside the car window and muttered to himself.
"The sky in Lalaie is getting darker and darker, and even the moisture in the air is increasing. ”
Anna heard him talking to herself, and chimed in, "I feel it too, and the fishy smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger, it turns out that although Lalaye also has a fishy smell, it is not as obvious as it is now." ”
Wallace always had an ominous omen in his mind, as if something terrible was about to happen to Laleigh.
He looked back at Anna and asked, "I don't know why, I've always had an ominous premonition lately.
And when I smell this fishy smell, the words "deep diving tribe" come to mind.
Recently, you have to be very careful, don't rush up when you encounter danger, immediately ride your swan wings and escape, save your life is the most important thing, I don't want to lose you. ”
"Uh-huh, I will, don't worry!"
Anna nodded obediently and agreed to Wallace very seriously.
As the two spoke, the steam wagon had crossed the entire mercenary area to the outskirts of the city of Laleye.
Lalaye is a steely harbor city, and like the rest of the town, it has no walls, in fact, most of the cities in the Bauhinia Kingdom have walls.
But there were only four roads out of Laleye, where carriages could get out of the city, and all the people spontaneously gathered from the various paths to the only way out to the south, and the roads were marked with checkpoints.
In the middle of the Lanyin Lake, next to the small valley to the south of Lalaie, a small island lies quietly in the middle of the lake.
The boats docked at the small pier by the lake, and since the island was a noble fiefdom, the police of L'Alleye did not need to take care of it, so there were no police officers patrolling here.
The black steam carriage stopped at the lake. Wallace, dressed in a black robe, got out of the carriage.
He took a small iron box from the carriage of the carriage, which was also jet-black, and placed it on the ground.
"Come, my dear little princess. ”
Wallace held out his arm so that Anna could help her get out of the car.
Wallace's simple gesture took the initiative to show his love for her, which not only won Anna's favor, but also made Anna think that he was a capable and gentlemanly person.
"Thank you, my dear gentleman!"
Anna took Wallace's arm and slowly got out of the car.
"You just stay in the car, lock the car, watch the car, and don't open the door except me and Anna. ”
Wallace instructed the coachman sent by Cole in the car.
"Yes, sir. ”
When the coachman saw what he had said, he immediately answered.
Wallace and Anna walk hand in hand to the lake, where he takes out the black cat mask and puts it on his face, while Anna has the white cat mask.
A small boat quickly headed towards the two people on the lake, and soon came to the lake where the two were located, and the stern of the boat was directly against the lake.
Wallace jumped onto the boat with a small black iron box, and as soon as he jumped onto the boat, he felt the hull sink significantly.
He first put down the small iron box in his hand, and then stretched out his right hand to Anna in the boat, and Anna pulled his also onto the boat.
The boatman, who was obviously a veteran, rowed a small boat with ease, and the boat broke the waves like a swimming fish, and quickly approached the small island in the middle of the lake.
The boat docked at the island's small dock, and as soon as Wallace and Anna landed on the island, they found it like a small bazaar.
Small vendors are densely packed on both sides of the path, and those who pick up their items walk on this only path.
There are people on the island who succeed or fail in trading all the time, but they have quarrels but no fighting, and the sound of selling and bargaining is intertwined, and it can be said that the island is very lively.
At this time, the sky had also darkened, and the fifth kerosene street lamp on the road was lit up in an instant, and suddenly the entire island was brightly lit, illuminating all the stalls.
The kerosene street lamps on both sides of the path are about two meters high, and there are street lights every one meter.
