Chapter 5: The Sea Journey (Part 2)
Bushen City
The largest port city in the north has a permanent population of 48,000, of which humans occupy 70%, while dwarves account for 15%, half-elves, half-elves, and half-orcs occupy the others. It can be said that this is one of the paradises of half-elves, because it also implements the commercial coordination policy, which benefits from excellent ports, enlightened systems, inclusive spirit and powerful magic traditions.
Since Bushen City is so important, it naturally became a troublesome place, with all kinds of forces, from religion, chambers of commerce, mage organizations, and personnel sent by foreign rulers, filled them.
The lord of Bushen City is not one, but a council consisting of 16 people with a confidential identity, responsible for managing the entire Bushen City. The lords always wear masks when they appear in public and are protected by magic, and are not affected by divine artifacts and other forms of magic.
Pirgaren, who directly controls the city's military power, is a level 15 warrior, the supervisor of Bushen City and the commander of the watchman, and is the only lord who has appeared publicly. His palace in the center of the castle area is the seat of the government. It is speculation that who is the other lord is an entertainment for the people of Bushen City.
After three days of sailing, the boat had already seen the dock, and at this time, a carriage was parked on the dock. The carriage was made of two white horses, and a pretty gorgeous waiter sat in the driving position of the carriage. The people passing by were avoiding it from afar and looked at it curiously.
Although the dock area is the busiest, it is also the dirty. The dense fleet is moored there, and a large number of laborers work here, constantly sucking ships and commodities from all over the mainland. Of course, because of this, the fish smells smelly and sweat smelly. There are garbage everywhere and the smell is spread in the air. Few nobles like to come here.
A fleet approached the shore. At this time, a corner of the dock was temporarily cleared out. The people on the boat came and the people around were very surprised. Because there were at least about five hundred elves coming down from the boat. Although there were also elves in Bushen City, after the elves moved, even Bushen City, the commercial exchange center, had only about 100 elves living there. But now there are so many elves coming down all at once, of course, it is very attractive to see.
"Are you His Excellency Annien? I am the envoy sent by Lord Pilgelen. I will lead your army to station in the designated military camp and invite you to negotiate tomorrow." At this time, a group of soldiers who had already greeted the land, and welcomed him under the leadership of an officer.
"Your Highness, do you want to join them?" A questioning sound came from the carriage.
"No, they still have to work hard now, send an envoy to talk to Annien. After he finishes his work, he will naturally come over." A voice came from the carriage.
It is obvious that all servants have no doubt about such orders, and the carriage is galloping outward. In the eyes of the waiter, how could his Highness stay in such a dirty and messy place?
After a moment, the carriage stopped in front of a residence in the coastal area. This is the richest area in the entire city and the place where the nobles live. It has wide streets, amazingly exquisite statues, grand shops, and the Arena Victory Garden.
However, the residence here did not have much extravagance, at least it looked like this, with two guards at the door. After the guards opened the door, the carriage did not stop and went directly to the square of the villa. Then he stopped. A young man came down from the carriage.
The young man, Prince Reinstein, walked straight to the door, and naturally a servant pushed open the door for him. He casually ordered a housekeeper to greet him: "You can prepare a banquet."
"Yes, Your Highness." The housekeeper retreated silently. With his order, the whole house suddenly became noisy. Of course, these things had nothing to do with Ryanstein. He entered the door and walked through a corridor and came to a small hall. The small hall was extremely exquisitely decorated and full of luxury.
In the small hall, there is a pair of elves, Loli. The two of them have not changed at all in the past six years. This is a matter of course, because although Loli grows fast, if she is an elves, it must be a different matter. The life of elves is not something that ordinary humans can compare to.
The most attractive sight in the small hall is an old man wearing a grey robe of the great wizard. He looked very old, with almost skinny faces, so he exposed his towering cheekbones and deep eye sockets. However, once a great wizard becomes a great wizard, he cannot treat him with the aging of ordinary humans. Although he seems to look very old, living for hundreds of years is just a matter of time - a high-level wizard has the ability to prolong his life.
"Brother!" Seeing Ryanstein coming back, two Loli, who were reading books, immediately greeted him from left to right, each hugging his hands, with a very intimate attitude, which made Ryanstein sit down opposite the old mage with two sisters like croakers.
"Master Punier, if you want to see the earthlings, you will arrive in about an hour. Please wait for another hour!" As for the mage, even if you use the power of Reinstein, you dare not neglect it and call it "you".
"Well, this time is not long. I also want to meet this talented young mage who can get your cooperation and get the praise of the Moon City. I believe he must have something amazing. In fact, the constant temperature technique he created is not high, but it shows his pioneering thinking and profound magic knowledge." The great mage Punier said calmly: "The speed of his level improvement has made us very interested. Within five years, he has reached level 11 or above, and he has a parity of over level 2 every year. Even if it is not unprecedented, it can be regarded as a fast promotion record for the top ten in hundreds of years."
"So you want to come and see Annien?"
"Yes, I have no doubts about your vision, but I am too young and too fast to advance, and have mastered a lot of power. I am afraid that before such power, it will have an adverse impact on his growth, so I must observe him. Moreover, learning magic, in addition to talent, whether it is knowledge accumulation, experience in casting magic, and a deep understanding of magic, time is the most important. The success of this genius young mage surprised us because it is not in common sense."
The great mage Punier said almost bluntly, and Reinstein could only smile bitterly. The great mage Punier was already a great mage who had mastered powerful power and had a strong influence in the magician union in the Northland. Even Ilminster, the strongest elector of the Magic Goddess, had to give him some thin face and would not completely regard him as a junior, so of course he could say this and do this.
"But, as far as I know, there are still many mages who can reach such a height, even more than anything else."
"It's different. They are electors, or simply the Son of God, with the power and knowledge given by God, and the talent that transcends mortals, but isn't Ann?"
"This is not necessarily the case." Reinstein hesitated for a moment and said.
"Oh, he is also a goddess' voter?"
"No, maybe he is the favorite of another powerful god. You should know that the great elf god Anshuyar also has a magical clergy." Reinstein did not want to see the conflict, so he revealed some secrets, although these secrets are no longer secrets among some of the top leaders.
"Oh, you mean, Mr. Annien, is also a voter? Is the voter of the Elf Lord God Anshuyar?"
"I didn't say that, but I'm talking about the favored ones of God."
"The favored one of the gods." Master Punier sat upright and frowned. He was a little confused about this vague answer. He didn't know what kind of gods Annen received. Although the elf god Anshuyar is not a human god, the existence of powerful divine power itself has an inviolable majesty. Therefore, even Master Punier has some taboos about this.
"The Northern War is right in front of you. If there is any problem, you can talk about it after the war. After all, he is the noble appointed by Moon City, the regiment commander, and the commander sent by the elves." Reinstein said with a smile, but this sentence is very important. These identities, especially the latter two, are extraordinary. Even with the status of the Great Master Punier, they cannot be humiliated easily.
"Well, of course, I'll just observe it." Master Punier still had a relatively clear understanding of this. He shook his head and said, although he was a master, he was also a wizard, and in name was still a believer of the goddess of magic. Therefore, there was no benefit in confronting the senior officials appointed by the goddess' daughter.
After a moment of silence, the maid came up and brought drinks.
"Come on, Master Punier, you can taste this special coffee, which must have a different flavor." Reinstein said with satisfaction.
