Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 462

Chapter 459 Metropolis

The boss had finished observing Sol and Agu at this time, and pushed away the boy who was about to reply, and stood in front of Sol.

He leaned forward slightly and said respectfully: “Yes, sir, since the third recruitment order was issued by the ancient city of Guaster three years ago, the few people left in the town have moved there. Now only some orphans, the elderly, and the sick live in the town. If I didn’t have this hotel to run, I wouldn’t stay here.”

“Urbanization?” Sol didn’t expect that the ancient city of Guaster had developed to this extent, but can the bottom productivity of this era keep up?

“If people move to the ancient city of Guaster, what about agricultural reclamation? It can’t all rely on trade, right?”

Sol’s question stumped the boss.

He had to change the way he said it.

“Who will farm the land?”

“Oh, the farms are all serfs and, and…” The innkeeper understood Sol’s question this time, but he forgot the words halfway through his answer.

“And magic tools, sir!” The boy looked quite smart and immediately followed the boss to call Sol.

He saw that Thor was not from the neighborhood, and explained carefully, “Magic tools are some props related to witchcraft made by Baidong College, but ordinary people can also use them, and they are very powerful. It only takes half the time to farm!”

Baidong College actually made a batch of magic tools that ordinary people can use?

It should be a simple witchcraft prop.

But how do they solve the problem of ordinary people being radiated when using witchcraft props?

And as long as there is magic power and mental power, there is the possibility of pollution.

If it is a wizard, even if it is only a second-level wizard apprentice, there are certain means to solve the pollution.

But how should ordinary people solve the pollution after using witchcraft props?

They may not even have the ability to protect themselves.

Thor originally wanted to ask them what those molds look like, but he thought about it and gave up. Even if these people have seen it, they don’t understand the real core, so it’s better for him to see it himself.

The boy opposite him was still talking like a chatterbox, “The book says that those molds used for farming in the suburbs are just the simplest molds. The really powerful ones are those big factories in the ancient city of St. Paul. It is said that even ordinary people can make more powerful magic tools with the help of magic tools. If I didn’t need to take care of my grandfather here, I would have gone to the city to work with my brother Luffy.”

The boy wanted to say something, but was pulled back by the innkeeper.

Thor glanced at the innkeeper and felt that when he heard about the factories in the city, his expression was not as yearning as the little boy’s.

There was even a hint of fear.

Then Thor asked some more questions, and the little boy told Thor enthusiastically, and said that he had read all of them from the book. If Thor wanted to fully understand the ancient city of St. Paul, he suggested reading that book, which was very clear.

As a result, when he asked the title of the book, it turned out to be the novel that the boy and the innkeeper had just read.

Just hearing the name makes people feel unreliable.

The innkeeper returned to the bar and took out a brand new novel of the same model to give to Thor. “Please accept it, sir. It doesn’t cost money. These books are given to us for free in the city, just to let us give them to the guests staying in the hotel.”

The owner didn’t say that he had charged the guests for the books before.

Thor accepted the book without hesitation, and no longer asked the two people. He turned around and followed the boy to stay in the courtyard next door.

The innkeeper next to him also came to deliver food, which was very enthusiastic.

When they left, Thor heard the little boy muttering that he wanted to work in the factory.

The innkeeper seemed not to want to lose the last waiter, saying that the magic tools in those factories had eaten people.

The boy said nonchalantly that it was because the workers did not operate properly and did not follow the regulations.

Hearing this, Thor shook the book in his hand and decided to finish it before entering the city.

The next morning, Thor and his party left the inn and continued to go to the ancient city of Archester.

Last night, Thor read the first extracurricular book in three years of crossing. But he skipped those parts that were obviously YY entertainment and focused on the details of life in the city.

It turned out that these details also need to be put in double quotes.

The book describes many dangers and even some strange events that the farmer John encountered after entering the city, but these things turned out to be caused by evil people or others’ carelessness in their work.

The book also mentions wizards, but they are all mentioned in a few words, and it is obvious that they dare not write in detail.

The wizards in the book are mysterious, powerful and wise. Every time they develop new magic tools, they will bring great changes to the lives of ordinary people.

Although Mash was driving the carriage, they still spent most of the day on the road. When the carriage arrived at the foot of the city of Archaeoster, the sun in the sky had set again.

The huge city stained by orange-red sunlight appeared in front of Thor.

The high-rise buildings lined up one after another seemed to bring Thor back to the original world.

Archaeoster was built on the mountain and faced the sea on the southwest. To the north is a low mountain with a gentle slope, and only the east is flat and can be driven in and out.

Outside the city is a circle of not too high walls, with soldiers on duty. There is a giant crossbow every few meters on the wall, and a square hole every hundred meters.

The book that Little John used to enter the city said that there was a magic crystal cannon hidden in the hole, which could be operated and detonated by ordinary people.

There were three entrances to the city on the east wall of the city, and there was a long queue at each entrance.

But when Thor’s carriage approached, two soldiers on horseback immediately rushed over.

One of them held a compass in his hand, and after confirming it twice, he dismounted and came close to Thor.

“Dear wizard, you don’t need to queue up to enter the city. Please follow us this way.”

Thor pushed open the car door and looked at the compass in the soldier’s hand, and found it very interesting.

The appearance of his car did not have any mark of wizard identity, and the other party was obviously an ordinary person, but he could determine that he was a wizard from such a distance.

Obviously, the compass in his hand was working.

When Thor was in the wizard tower before, witchcraft props were either used for fighting or for research, and there were few such convenient infrastructure.

Under the guidance of the two knights, the group came to the fourth entrance.

Hidden magic circles were drawn on the city gates and nearby walls.

After entering the radiation range of the magic circle, the noisy sounds around suddenly became much quieter.

The two knights deliberately stopped outside the range of the magic circle, saluted and left.

At this time, another person came up, wearing a blue and white standard dress. It was a simple style, very design-oriented, and would not hinder movement.

The other party’s cuffs, collar and hem were decorated with two silver embroidery lines.

“Good afternoon, sir.” The other party stood outside the car and spoke, “Welcome to Archaeologists, I am Dumar, a second-level apprentice at Baidong College. Is it convenient for you to do identity registration?”

Agu walked out without letting the other party see the situation in the car.

“What do you say if it’s convenient, and what do you say if it’s not convenient?”

Dumar’s smile remained unchanged, and he took out two metal cards from his front pocket.

One red and one blue.

“We naturally respect your idea. Because in Archaost, many places require passes to enter and exit, and to make purchases. So we have prepared two passes for you. The blue one will simply register your information, so that we can provide you with services. The red one is an anonymous pass, which can also be used for most services, but for core services, you may need to show relevant certificates before you can process it. Of course, your basic living needs will definitely not be a problem.”

Dumar politely handed both passes to Agu.

Let him choose.
