After spending a whole day in the palace, it was already night when Cai Anping left.
The stars hung high in the night sky, and the cold air blew.
"The vague time and place have been obtained. I just need to use the velvet of alchemical magic to search it at that time. The jackdaw will definitely not escape my sight."
"It's just that Anivia also said that she sensed a vague sense of crisis. I still have to be more careful. I'm afraid that the demon behind Noxus is putting more effort into the Freljord than I imagined..."
Chai Anping was also very interested in being able to fight this demon from a distance——
It would be even better if I could steal something!
In the next few days, Anivia continued to make improvements, while Chai Anping set off for the target location to start looking for clues.
…
Onkar Rock, Mahun City.
Maweng City is a seaside city on the edge of the rocky land, far away from the Rockefell Island. It is the most prosperous commercial area in Freljord.
The city-state became independent and did not join Winter's Claw or Avarosa.
It is also open to both parties.
Merchants from other parts of the continent who came here by sea gathered here. A large number of precious ores and animal skins in the snowfield were the treasures pursued by the merchants.
After several days of searching, Chai Anping finally trekked to this huge city with the help of Anivia's lock.
The city is a mixture of many styles, and the buildings in different urban areas are completely different. Some are made of white stones, and some have high roofs with colorful flags hanging from the top.
There are mostly low bungalows along the coastline rising along the rolling hills. Standing on the mountains and looking out, there are huge ocean-going ships docked at the huge harbor docks. Although most of them are wooden ships, they can travel in the deep sea and
A terrifying warship where giant beasts fight.
The dock was crowded with people, and there were even many Demacia merchant ships among them.
After a long time, Chai Anping looked away and sighed to himself: "It's actually in such a prosperous city... It would be really bad if we start a fight."
He changed into inconspicuous clothes and entered the city. The guard at the city gate just collected the tax and issued a temporary ID card to let him enter the city. At the same time, he also had a thin copy of Ma Weng City's rules. Violators will be wanted.
Arrested, any violation will most likely result in being thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
"Loose management not only facilitates trade, but also facilitates the Masons' infiltration and accumulation of wealth. It is no wonder that it has become the target of the Masons."
Don't underestimate a city like this. This city-state that frequently trades with the outside world is the source of many daily necessities for the people of the Snowy Plains. Without these trading channels, some tribes will inevitably be unable to survive.
"But if Jackdaw can appear here in person, there must be some kind of rare treasure... or it may be related to the plot against Avarosa."
Instead of going to Avarosa's station here, he wandered alone in this exotic city. Although it was still cold, it was very lively. Outsiders wearing all kinds of cotton-padded clothes were happily shopping along the business road.
The level of civilization in Maweng City is even better than that of Avarosa, and it can be called a tourist attraction.
The alchemical magic power spread outwards along his body, and the city was vividly displayed in his mind.
The drunken sailors in the tavern, the "children" playing with daggers in the alleys, the tricks of the traders...
Once there is a picture that interests him, the ghost will escape from his shadow and transmit clearer images and sounds simultaneously.
That is to say, his current soul cannot withstand the impact of information from so many creatures in the entire city. Otherwise, with his current ability, it would not be difficult to cover the entire city with fine velvet of alchemical potions in an instant!
In other words, if he were some kind of evil villain, he could poison a city's population in an instant.
Soon, he filtered out information one after another.
What he was most concerned about was whether there were any precious treasures in Ma Weng City that were worthy of being obtained by the Masons. From the conversations between various religions and people, he had quickly learned the secrets of this city.
Among them, he found three possible directions:
One is an ancient war blade owned by the Arno clan, the actual ruler of the city-state. Legend has it that this war blade was once owned by Serelda, one of the three sisters, and can give the user powerful abilities.
Second, the Pound family's mobile treasure trove. The Pound family is the talker of maritime trade. Their ancestors were originally outsiders, but after several generations of marriage, more than half of their bloodline is from the Freljord.
Sitting on the wealth brought by sea, the Pound family built several treasure houses, the most famous and mysterious of which is the "Mobile Treasure House". The treasure house built by Xuan Tie is attached with ancient magic, so it is always in the city.
In a mobile state, only the correct spells and rituals can be used to open the treasure house. Because of this security, the most precious treasures of the Pound family are placed inside.
The third is a legend that cannot be verified. Legend has it that Maweng City is very special. It is protected by an ancient god in the strait. Whenever it snows heavily at night, an ice and snow scepter will appear. If you can possess this scepter, you can
Gaining the favor of the gods, and the scepter itself has unpredictable power, the holder can control ice and snow.
These are all treasures that can barely be compared with the "Sword of Star Spirit Oath" in Cold Wind City. Of course, I haven't seen the real thing. I just heard people's gossip and there may be discrepancies.
Especially the "god" appearing in the third rumor may be Jackdaw's real target...
In the next half day, he focused on investigating this so-called divine blessing. Unexpectedly, there was actually a temple for worship in Ma Weng City, and the incense was flourishing.
Both locals and foreign tourists and merchants say that visiting the temple can make going to sea more stable, and that there is a hidden blessing from the "Poseidon". Only pirates and merchants from the Bilgewater Strait sneer at this, but even so they will still come here.
Offer incense and money.
After all, when you go out for a walk, you would rather believe that it is there than that it is not!
"The strange thing is that Anivia already knew that I was coming to Ma Weng City, but she never mentioned to me that there were any animal spirits and demigods nearby...
If there really are any demigods stationed here, Anivia can’t possibly not know about it, right?”
There was still some time before the jackdaw appeared, so Chai Anping decided to investigate a few rumors first. For example, the war blade of the Arnold clan only needed a sweep of his ghost to confirm its location. He also checked to see if there was one here.
The war mason is just planning the treasure.
After spending two days marking more than a dozen treasures that might be targeted to ensure that he could react immediately, Chai Anping began to search for possible traces of demigod beast spirits along the coastline.
"It's going to snow heavily tonight."
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, feeling something in his heart.
