Chapter 199: Old Tacoma
The thought that this book, which alchemists called legendary, could be in Old Tacoma made it almost impossible for Sean to fall asleep......
Until dawn, when the first maid opened the door, she was startled.
"My lord, why are you ......?"
"It's okay, I woke up early today. Sean said.
Looking at the state of [Curious!] and [Shocked!] above the maid's head, I have never really gotten up early for almost a month, how can I not be surprised that there is such a sudden show today.
"Aslant, are they here?"
"Not yet, sir...... It's just dawn, are you hungry, I'll let the kitchen prepare something to eat. The maid said.
Usually the servants don't dare to disturb Sean's rest, they all choose to come in at dawn and quietly pack up their things and go out, who knows that he is so early today, probably only when he wakes up hungry.
"No need to ......"
Sean looked at the sky outside, and it was indeed not fully lit up.
"Lord Earl, Butler Kalibo said let's get you some desks at noon, shall we move in?" said the maid suddenly.
After Kalibo came to the Earl's Court yesterday, Sean took the opportunity to make him the housekeeper of the house, since he likes to fiddle, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't lose his original things.
"Since it's the old butler's opinion, let's get it. Sean replied casually.
I waited in the room until the official dawn, when Luke and Dan reminded them to come......
If the Necronomicon is really in Old Tacoma, it can't wait for others to find it, and in Alphonse's previous description, this 'probable' book contains a lot of unknown things, belonging to many alchemists who study the 'Gate of Truth' want to get their hands on the texts, and many of the horrific stories or ancient spells heard in the world are excerpted from that book, although many of them are unsuccessful.
This was Alphonse's exact words at the time, and Sean knew that the difference between wizards and wizards was that alchemists pursued this book instead!
I also talked to Frelia about it earlier, but the other party didn't seem to know about it at the time, and said that I would pay attention to it in the future...... There is little to know about that girl, and it is not the first time that Sean has known.
When I first met Frelia, I thought the other party was very powerful, of course. In terms of strength, she has never met a human of a higher level than her, but she is not as knowledgeable as a wizard like Ai Xiu in the study of magic.
If it's possible that the Necronomicon is in Old Tacoma, it's worth visiting for yourself...... Even if it's just a possibility, you need to check it out.
When Sean said that he was going to go to Old Tacoma in person, several people around him were [surprised!].
"My lord, that place is too dangerous. ”
"What danger can there be, the Edaks are just merchants who may stay in that place, and the old city of Tacoma we will have to be rebuilt sooner or later, I'm just going to see how it goes. Sean didn't tell anyone about the Necronomicon because Alphonse had said in his account that anyone who came into contact with the book was likely to have unpredictable effects.
So Sean still had reservations about whether to tell Luke about this, fearing that if they sent someone to look for it, they might encounter the same fate as the Black Feather Knights.
"But there are still a lot of things in Oro City that need to be taken care of by the adults themselves......"
"It's only a day or two, and I'm more relieved to have you here. ”
Although people like Luke and Harry insisted that they not go there, for Sergeant Major Joseph, he would have been tempted to go right away, so that the soldiers on the border would also be inspired, because the border army really couldn't choose to camp directly in the old military fort in recent times.
But because there were many people who had died in this area before, there were always rumors among the soldiers...... If the lord himself had gone over to take charge, it might not have been so much trouble.
"That's it, I'll be back in a few days, or four days at most. Now that other cities are already eyeing each other, of course I can't just sit there!"
........................
Taking care of everything, Sean only chose to let Joseph lead the team with him, while Aslant continued to let him stay in Oro City to take care of other things.
Ciudad Oro is actually not far from Old Tacoma, and it can be reached by the morning and the next evening......
There was no one in the town along the way.
Once the sphere of influence is out of Oro City, the whole environment becomes bleak and decaying, and the residents who survived the events of Tacoma City are thinking about how to escape, and I heard that almost half of the surviving residents have already chosen to leave when the Black Feather Knight retreats.
Look at the place you walked before......
The last time it was in the fog, and now it can be seen more clearly, but it is also colder.
"My lord, the old city of Tacoma is ahead, and the city is dead silent now, should we go directly to the camp to have a look?"
"No, since you're here, of course you have to go in. ”
The military fortress was the place where the Black Feather Knights lived at that time, and it was relatively close to the city, and not far from the border, so it was the best place for soldiers to camp.
Entering Tacoma City again doesn't feel the same, not shrouded in fog and not so many walking dead in madness and disorientation, but depressed and filthy......
The streets of the whole city are deserted, and there will be echoes when you walk on the road.
"My lord, where are we going now?"
"City Central ......"
Sean thought that since he was looking for clues, that place should be the best clue to leave.
This is where Frelia was escorted by the divers and the octopus, and it is also the place where the 'Great Being' is about to appear in the mouths of the divers.
It's a pity that the summoning didn't succeed!
It just left a broken trail......
Sean looked into the depths of the large well in the middle of the city, it was said that it was originally a fountain but was transformed into a huge well by the deep divers, and there was water in it, and Frelia said that the Black Feather Knights had also gone down to see it before, but some of the deep well water was connected to the southern swamp through groundwater.
But the thing with the huge octopus tentacles was not found, as if the thing had disappeared completely after the summoning failed!
It's a pity.
At that time, Frelia should have sent more people to pay attention to this place, since the summoning location was here, there should be something left, better than just dry grass now.
Looking around, there is hardly anything of value, and you can't see any useful props even in your field of vision.
However, at this time, suddenly a hint appeared in the field of vision......
"Who ?!!?"
Look at the corner of the laneway.
