Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 454

Chapter 451 Blue Water City

Blue Water City.

A very strange city.

It seems to be very rich, and some buildings in the city can even rival the capital of the Principality of Kerma.

But it seems to be very poor, and most of the gorgeous villas are empty.

On the contrary, the civilian area across the street is crowded.

According to economic income, it is not an exaggeration to downgrade it to a town.

But as a port city that once had a splendid historical and cultural heritage, its city lord would rather maintain the original city-level tax than lower his status class.

In addition to the city lord, there is also a group of once wealthy people who obviously have the ability to move, but still insist on guarding here.

But these rich people who live in three-story buildings and large gardens may have cleaner pockets than the poor who live in thatched huts.

City lord McKen once again enjoyed afternoon tea leisurely with his wizard friend in the garden.

His friend said he was a wizard, but in fact he was just a second-level apprentice. He also knew very few witchcrafts. I don’t know which wizard organization kicked him out of the dropout.

The second-level apprentice is called Karon. He is over 40 this year and lives in fear every day. Even the city lord McKen found it difficult to invite him out.

But since he has been invited out, he naturally needs to communicate well. After all, he is the last wizard willing to stay in Blue Water City for a long time.

McKend took a sip from the small white porcelain teacup in front of him, with a comfortable look on his face, and looked at Karon with a little flattery.

“You have locked yourself in the room for half a month. Now the shallow water roses have bloomed. If you don’t come out, you will miss the flowering period.”

Karon didn’t speak, picked up the empty teacup in front of him, and poured the solution he brought with him, “I have to go out recently.”

McKen was stunned and immediately asked, “Where are you going? How long will it take?”

Karon muttered, “I have run out of important materials for my experiment and need to go to the seaside to collect some. By the way, how is the recent collection progress of black water snails? I need one thousand here.”

The city lord twitched his mouth. The black water snail was one of the few profitable commodities they had left. Unexpectedly, this Karon wizard asked for 1,000.

But there was no other way. If you want to keep him, how can you do it without something valuable?

“I’ll ask the butler to count immediately.”

Caron nodded, “Then hurry up, I’ll leave tomorrow.”

This wizard Caron goes out once or twice a year, and comes back in three days or half a month.

But every time he goes out, Lord McKen gets nervous, fearing that he will never come back.

The presence of a wizard – even if he is just a second-level apprentice – can solve many problems that ordinary people can’t solve, and what’s the difference between a city without wizards and a village?

When Lord McKen was thinking about whether to buy something to strengthen Wizard Caron’s feelings for Blue Water City, a butler hurriedly walked in and bowed deeply to him from a distance, which meant that there was something urgent.

The wizard Karon, who was sitting opposite the city lord McKen, naturally saw this scene. He skillfully picked up the white porcelain cup, gently sipped the unknown solution in it, stood up and said, “You are busy, I’m going back.”

Although the city lord McKen was very sorry that the time for communicating with the other party was too short this time, he knew that if there was no real big thing, the butler would not dare to come in to disturb him.

“What happened?” In order to show his trust in the wizard Karon, he asked before the other party left the small garden.

“The soldiers guarding the city sent a message. A wizard entered the Blue Water City.”

“Oh?” The city lord stood up at once.

Even the wizard Karon, who was walking out, stopped.

“The soldiers guarding the city were about to collect the city entry tax from the other party.”

The city lord McKen almost jumped up when he heard this, “How dare he?”

The butler hurriedly said, “He saw a white mushroom moving on the other driver’s head, and immediately returned the money.”

Even the coachman had such a strange performance, so the wizard must be sitting in the car.

“What kind of mushroom is it?” The wizard Karon turned back.

“It is said that it looks like the most common white mushroom, with a little gray on the cap.” The butler quickly turned to Caron and bowed again.

“White mushroom?” Caron seemed to be thinking about something.

“Where is the wizard now? Do you know what he is doing here?”

“He asked the soldiers for an address, so he should be going there.” Without waiting for the city lord or the wizard to ask, the butler said the address, “No. 16 Haixia Street, where most of the people living are from other places or poor local civilians. I have asked someone to check who lives there now.”

The mayor nodded and nervously reminded, “Tell people not to follow too closely, lest they think you are arrogant.”

Then Mayor McKen looked at Caron, “Master Wizard, should we invite him to come over for tea?”

Caron thought for a moment and asked the butler, “Is there any special mark on that carriage?”

But before the butler could speak, he shook his head, “Forget it, what can you see? Respectfully invite the wizard. But if he refuses, don’t get entangled. He should be at least a third-level wizard apprentice.”

“Hiss–” The butler took a breath.

Mayor McKen also wanted to, but he held back.

…

Thor, who was being discussed by the mayor of Blue Water City and the resident wizard, had already arrived at No. 16 Shrimp Street in a carriage.

He naturally noticed that someone was following his carriage from a distance, but he didn’t care.

When the carriage stopped at the door, passers-by around were stretching their necks to see that this double-decker carriage was already a means of transportation for them, which was already quite wealthy.

However, when people saw the mushrooms twisting on the driver’s head, they showed horrified expressions and immediately left the alley.

Agu jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door.

After knocking twice, they heard hurried running sounds from inside.

After a few breaths, the door was suddenly opened, revealing a familiar face.

“Who… who are you looking for?” Sander looked nervous and excited, but became stunned when he saw Agu.

At this time, Thor had just got off the carriage and turned his head to Sander and said, “Let’s go in and talk.”

After seeing Thor, Sander’s expression turned into joy again, “My lord, you are here? Please come in!”

Thor nodded and stepped in.

The courtyard at No. 16 Haixia Street is not big. It is a bit like a separate space separated by a wall built from other courtyards.

Thor’s carriage could not enter the courtyard, so it had to be parked outside. The driver waited in the carriage, and Agu followed Thor into the room.

They walked through the narrow courtyard and walked into the wooden and stone mixed house with only two rooms.

After walking into the room and closing the door, the room suddenly became pitch black.

Just as Sander was about to fumble for an oil lamp, he saw a soft light appear above his head, completely illuminating the room.

Then Agu walked forward, holding a water ball the size of his head.

The strange thing was that before this, Sander had never noticed that Agu was holding something in his hand.

He saw a terrifying little fish with a human face swimming in this clear and slightly overflowing water ball.

“Oh my!” Sander was shocked at the first sight, especially because the little fish seemed to have seen Sander’s half face “poof” out of the water ball.

Although the fish quickly shrank back, Sander was still scared to the point of almost sitting on the ground.

Agu raised his chin, “Why, don’t you recognize it?”

As he said that, he raised his hand and threw the water ball into Sander’s arms.

The water ball hit Sander’s chest and rolled down his clothes. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold it.

There were only a few water stains on his clothes, and the water ball was icy cold when he held it.

The terrifying fish-faced man-like creature once again half emerged from its body and spit out a stream of clear water at Sander.

Sander stared at the fish-faced man-like creature, and the fear on his face slowly turned into astonishment.

“Mi, Miduoer?!”

Next chapter, at night!

I can’t help it, I’ve been too busy lately. I’m in a hurry.
