Although it is already the depth of winter, there is no snow in this city close to the ocean, and the sky is still gray. I don’t know whether it is because the smoke and dust obscure the sky above, or because the winter sunshine is obscured.
There are mostly pedestrians in coats on the streets, many of whom are mages and alchemists of the magic sequence, and some are workers in various workshops in the city. Among them are calculators, typists, warehouse dispatchers, and maintenance technicians.
Personnel, postman, etc.
Compared to other places in Ivar's world, Mozwa, the former capital of Rurna, is more like a Renaissance city. But unlike the advocating for humanities, there is really extraordinary magic and all kinds of magic here.
Alchemical creation.
The giant airship flying in the sky, the heavy motorcycle on the street, the shining hollow patterns on the shops, the clicking sound of typewriters in the roadside shops, and the mechanical guns and swords carried by the patrols all show that they are related to the past.
Earth's civilization has a completely different style.
On a street near the edge of the city, a man wearing a top hat and a black trench coat walked silently. His boots stepped into the shallow puddles, making a slight splash that echoed in the alley.
He turned around several corners and came to the door of a cafe.
The front door of the cafe is a rotating hard metal door, but a large glass is inlaid in the middle, and the frame is painted with black paint. It looks a bit artistic, making it more in line with the temperament of this store.
The man in black took out a small dark gold card from his pocket and placed it in the groove on the wall next to the door. A burst of magic light flowed into the groove along with the complex lines on the card, and the door also
There was a soft sound, and then the man in black pushed the door open and entered.
Unlike ordinary cafes, this place only entertains members, so there are very few customers. After the man in black walked in, there were only three people sitting at two tables. Two of them were talking quietly, so don't worry about it.
The man in black walked straight to another table, where someone was waiting for him.
"You're here." Sitting at the mahogany table was a neatly dressed man with a white silk scarf on his collar fastened by metal buttons. He was looking at the customer who entered the cafe.
"Yeah." The man in black replied briefly before sitting across from him.
He took off his hat, shook off a few water drops, and put it aside, revealing the long gray hair under the hat. His face looked like a man and a woman. At first glance, he was very beautiful, but upon closer inspection, he felt ordinary.
will be ignored.
"The adults are very satisfied with you during this trip to the south. Even the two highnesses also praise your achievements."
"Yeah." He responded briefly, as if he didn't care about this comment.
"A new mission has arrived. This time it is to the sacred mountain of Kalunriel in the north."
"What's up?"
"Assist Bishop Thebis to become pope. He doesn't like Crancia."
"Is that all?"
"Yes." After thinking for a few seconds, the man continued.
"Don't reveal your identity. Even if you do, let people think it wasn't us."
"I know." The gray-haired man in black nodded.
The man opposite looked at an unknown man of gray hair and black clothes, tapping his fingers slightly for a long time.
"Don't you need any assistance?"
"Maybe." He replied nonchalantly.
"Oh, although you are very confident, the organization also knows that this mission will not be easy, so this is a backup method."
"If it doesn't work, just kill the other competitors."
After finishing speaking, the man clapped his hands, and the other two guests in the cafe suddenly stopped talking, picked up the suitcases at hand, walked over, put them on the table, and then returned to the previous table to continue talking.
, as if everything just now was an illusion.
The man opened the box, and inside there was a transparent bottle set in velvet cloth, with tear-shaped gemstones surrounded by black and white metal floating in it.
"This is a relic of a witch. After being processed by those two highnesses, it can be used twice. The effect is equivalent to a sequence 9 witch using her full power."
"What effect?" the man in black asked, his voice neutral.
"Did it work? Haha." The man opposite looked at the man in black, his eyes and facial expressions motionless. He added the sugar cube on hand to the coffee and stirred it gently.
"Just like this piece of candy, it disappears."
The man in black nodded slightly, closed the suitcase, and then its magic power and power fluctuations were obscured, making it difficult for even Sequence 9 to detect it.
He stood up, took his suitcase and was about to walk out of the cafe, when a voice came from behind.
"The witch's title is the Salt Witch. She died in a secret siege by the church thousands of years ago."
The man in black nodded slightly, then pushed open the revolving iron door and walked out of the cafe.

Emenas, Temple College.
A group of people, including 2 teachers and 8 students, boarded the back of a white dragon and sat on the saddle on the dragon's back. Then as the dragon flapped its wings, there was a thrust from the back, and everyone followed.
The dragon rose directly into the sky.
This huge flame dragon from the Sanctuary is a Sequence 7 existence. It is not too old and has a slightly gentle personality. It is suitable for picking up these students who travel between the Sanctuary and Emenas.
High in the sky, the wind is freezing.
A faint halo appeared around the giant dragon, offsetting the howling cold wind and air currents, and everyone became slightly more comfortable.
Riding on a giant dragon is a very novel experience for many students. They look at the back of the giant dragon curiously, and sometimes want to reach out and touch the white scales of the giant dragon.
But a few of them still held back their curiosity for a while. It would not be nice if they made this giant dragon unhappy. Besides, as exchange students now, they have to take into account the face of the college and cannot be as casual as they were in school.
.
After flying for a long time, when it got dark, mountains and peaks began to appear in the distance.
The giant dragon walks through the mountain peaks. Between the peaks are tall palaces and churches. The stone steps extend between the mountains. There are tall fire pillars at regular intervals around them, illuminating the mountain road below.
Pedestrians wearing various clothes walked on the mountain road. They walked on foot, sometimes worshiped, and murmured some words in their mouths.
The flame dragon tilted its wings and turned in front of a high mountain, then slowly slowed down and landed in an open space halfway up the mountain.
Ingrid took the lead and jumped off the dragon saddle, and the following students also jumped off from above.
Although they are 5-6 meters high from the ground, these students are all extraordinary, so naturally they will not be injured.
Lorraine Hill also landed in this open space. In front of it is a tall palace half covered in the mountain. Behind it is a huge abyss nearly a hundred meters wide. Below is an extremely deep valley with some gravel and small
trees.
Halfway up the mountainside are trees covered with snow, and some palace buildings and platforms are partially exposed in the valley, faintly visible.
