Just one coin is not enough to divine the third chosen one. Even if Luvia has used the time of the players in the city to advance from the third ring to the fourth ring, her "cost divination" cannot be greatly improved.
Decreased demand for monetary relics.
On the other hand, she finally got the information about "Fort Midhill" that she applied to the headquarters of the Prophet Association. There were a lot of descriptions about the "Narrow Room of Life and Death", but it was of no use to Shade, and he didn't know how to do it.
Enter that place again.
The only thing that surprised him was that the Prophets Association believed that the "extinct volcano" of Mount Sikal was not a naturally formed volcano, but a volcano formed by external forces the day after tomorrow. Moreover, there is still the possibility of Mount Sikal erupting.
But what spews out may not be magma.
"Does the association believe that once death breaks out, the most likely outbreak point is the top of Mount Sikal?"
Shade asked in confusion, but Luvia couldn't understand it either.
From the basement of his home, he came to the ruined tower in the Sikar Mountains. After practicing his sword swings a hundred times in the forest in front of the tower, he went all the way down the mountain and entered the city.
Cassandra Auction House can be regarded as the most famous chain auction house in the entire Old World. The headquarters of the auction house is in the city center of Fort Midhill.
The auction house, together with the Church of Nature, the Church of the Dawn and the City Hall of the parish, are all located on Santa Carla Avenue in the city center. Although geographically speaking, this is not the center of the city, but rather in the south, but this neighborhood is indeed
The economic, political and cultural center of the entire city.
The two ends of Santa Carla Avenue are Oak Street and Punjab Street respectively. Many important border agencies such as the Kingdom's Border Administration are located on the former, while the latter is dotted with offices of large and small transnational trading groups.
"Wait, Punjab Street?"
In the second half of the harvest month, the branches and leaves on the street trees have begun to peel off. When getting off the carriage at Cassandra Auction House, Shade was suddenly startled, and then turned to look at the intersection of Santa Carla Avenue and Punjab Street:
"I remember that in the intelligence passed by the Grey-headed Eagle, the Principality of Set told the Kasenrik people that the goods they helped transport were in a certain warehouse on Punjab Street. Wait, what does this have to do with me?
"
He immediately forgot what he suddenly remembered, and was very sure in his heart that the loyal MI6 major-level agent Shad Hamilton had no connection with the evil Kasenrik people (note).
Today I came to Carsonrick Auction House mainly to meet the great witch Granny Xina Cassandra and Sister Devlin of the Spiritual Order. In addition to thanking them for their help, I would also like to explain in detail, Zhou
What exactly happened in the narrow space of life and death on six nights?
Of course, Shade would not say that he and Priest Augustus both "died" once and then returned from the world of the dead. He only said that he met many strange people in the narrow space of life and death, and even saw a man from a distance.
A very powerful vampire.
"The opponent is really strong. In addition to the man with wings, maybe the person who caused the red aurora phenomenon above Sikal Mountain may also be the vampire. After all, the power of vampires does not always contain blood.
Red?”
Shade said without any psychological burden.
He saved the middle-aged vampire and his nephew, and they were not only of a different race, but also a foreigner who spoke the Kasenric language. They might never see him again in this life.
"Vampires? There do seem to be some long-term residents here, but aren't they always acting as ordinary citizens?"
Grandma Cassandra had a conversation with Sister Devlin, and she didn't seem to doubt his words.
The two also told Shade that a total of 17 missing persons, including Priest Augustus, had been found by the City Hall and the soldiers of the Delarian Royal Army in Windy Trail yesterday.
Everyone has lost the memory of being in the "Whole of Life and Death". This is not only due to the impact of the level 0 relic itself, but also because living people should not have any memories related to the world of death.
In short, Priest Augustus has successfully returned to Dawn Church. After a physical examination and simple questioning, he can return to his normal work. Compared with the other sixteen missing persons, there is nothing special about the priest.
, no one remembers what he did in the [Challenge of Life and Death].
Mother-in-law Cassandra knew that Shade came to Fort Midhill from Tobesk using special means, so before Shade got up and left, she told him that if he had any trouble in this city, he could always come here to find him.
She helped. Although Sister Devlin of the Spiritual Order also heard all this, she did not express curiosity about Shade's space crossing.
She didn’t understand why the great witch would get close to a man, but she also promised that Shade could get help from the [Spiritual Cultivation Order] at any time. She still didn’t tell Shade the location of the Order, but Shade could contact him through the [House of the Blind]
to her.
After expressing his gratitude again, Shade said that he wanted to acquire special blood, currency relics and time keys, and then left the Cassandra Auction House. When he walked to the door, someone called him from behind.
name:
"Mr. John Watson!"
Turning around, he saw that it was the lobby manager on the first floor of the auction house who had just helped Shade lead the way. The brown-haired middle-aged man in a neat formal suit hurried over and handed Shade a brass-colored card.
Shade originally thought it was the other party's business card, but after looking through it, he realized it wasn't.
"Mr. Watson, this is the VIP card of Cassandra Auction House. It can be used in all auction houses and branches in the Old World. I forgot to give it to you just now."
He said respectfully, Shade nodded and put the card away, and then asked him again:
"If I want to contact an officer stationed at Fengqi Trail, what is the easiest way?"
The camps of these border troops were all in the Sikal Mountains. Shade didn't want to follow the windy path into the mountains, because it was too far.
"Do you know the specific unit number or camp location?"
The middle-aged manager asked, and Xia De shook his head:
"I only know the rank and name."
"Then I suggest you go to the tavern in the south of the city and ask. Officers like to go into the city to hang out in taverns during their holidays. They know each other well, and you will find the answer."
Seeing Sha De nodding, he hesitated and said:
"I don't mean to offend those respectable border guards, but they are often rude and rude, and it may be difficult for a gentleman like you to deal with them."
This middle-aged man didn't know Shade's true identity, but seeing that he was favored by Ms. Cassandra, the owner of the auction house, he thought he was a young noble descendant or from a wealthy merchant family.
"What do they like to do in the pub?"
Shade asked curiously.
"What else? Women, alcohol and Rhodes."
"That's it"
Shade was thoughtful. He believed that he would get along well with the local officers.
Because it connects the most important train lines in the central and eastern parts of the mainland, the density of pubs and hotels around Fort Midhill Railway Station in the south of the city is amazing. Even during the day on a Tuesday, most of the pubs along the street are still open.
, and there are many guests.
It happened to be noon, and Shade wanted to find a place to eat and gather information. He didn't want to squeeze into a crowded tavern, but going to a high-end restaurant was not only expensive, but also impossible to gather information.
I was interested in finding a big hotel like the Three Cats Hotel in Tobesk Anthem Square, which looked decent and had a relatively formal business. When I was riding a carriage just now, the enthusiastic coachman recommended it and it was just across the street from the train station.
Two streets away, the "Sikal Hotel" is located on Birch Street.
The name is quite straightforward, but it seems to leave a deeper impression on people.
"I don't know if 'Sikal' is a chain brand. If so, someone will probably charge brand fees."
Shade thought happily, only he himself understood what these thoughts meant.
Fort Midhill City is extremely rich in timber resources, but the buildings built in the old era in the south city area mostly use stone structures due to military and fire prevention needs. The area of Sikal Hotel is far smaller than that of the three buildings in Tobesk City.
It's just a cat hotel, but this hotel is also divided into four floors on the ground. The upper two floors are accommodation areas, and the lower two floors are restaurants and pubs.
It happened to be 11:30 in the morning when Shade put on her eye shadow and opened the door and walked into the hotel. The sun was not bad today. The light shined through the gray stone window frame and shone on the tables and guests.
, leaving bright or dark mottled marks.
There is a smell of wine in the hotel, and at this time, two-thirds of the tables on the first floor have been filled with guests having lunch. The restaurant is bustling with people, using various languages and people of different identities interacting with each other.
chat.
Even when Shade came in, he heard someone loudly complaining in Kasenric that the autumn in Fort Midhill was too humid. This was a scene that could only be seen in peaceful times.
Beside the wall was a long-haired male bard wearing a red hat, sitting on a high stool playing the lute, and a silver Kasenrik whistle stood at his feet.
Seeing that there was an empty table near him, Shade sat down, then asked the waiter for a menu, and chose some food that might suit his taste. He didn't order too much food, after all, he had an appointment with Austria in the afternoon.
When I met the priest Gus, the priest still owed him a meal.
When choosing drinks, Shade unconsciously thought again of the sip of wine Tifa brought to him at last night's dinner. With a straight face and no expression, Shade returned the menu to the waiter, and then watched the poet playing and singing beside him, waiting.
Bring your own lunch.
The bards who make money by playing in taverns often use heroic epics and legendary stories as their material. Sometimes they also cater to the needs of the kingdom's officials and sing about current affairs news for a fee.
What the poet in front of me is singing is the story of the Phoenix in local legend. The current aria has reached the end of the story, and it is the part where people in the story mourn the Phoenix who sacrificed his life for the city.
PS: Chapter 368 mentioned that Shade is already a major.
