Mena didn't know where people with such a lack of common sense came from.
The port is not a town sealed by a tower. The reputation and status of the Duke Warlock should be heard by all citizens of the empire, even in the border areas.
What's more, as the outpost of the Great Expedition era...the port, there are many legends passed down from our ancestors.
You can even find biographies of the Grand Duke in some old houses.
But Holo's ignorance didn't look like he was pretending, which really annoyed him.
Hero spread his hands to express his innocence:
"Don't look at me like that. You know, I have been a slave of the fishmen. I am lucky to be able to grow up alive and well. You don't expect those fishmen who embrace the deep sea to tell me about the great achievements of the imperial magicians!? "
Mena wiped away the blood stains hanging from the corner of his mouth, calmed down the boiling soul energy, and once again activated the cleaning effect of the silver robe.
He complained to Holo:
"Believe it to me, don't forget which tower I came from. When you were taken to the coast, I had already asked an old fishman. Your children were all bought through the slave ship in the port. "
"hey-hey..."
Hero could only smile awkwardly at this. The origin of his life experience was vague in his memory. The only thing he remembered was that he stayed in the port for a long, long time.
As for why the information Mena forced out was different from what his aunt told him...
Maybe it's because my aunt is the main person in charge. After all, she is so insidious that she might also deceive others.
He didn't even know why he wasn't stained with the mark of the deep sea. His physical fitness was astonishing.
It is better to bury this secret forever. Even the Grand Master has never solved the mystery. If others find out, they must not be used as experimental subjects... disembowelled for research.
"Let's take a break first. The suppression of souls across such a large level is too serious. Entu is still very scared now, and [Wortex] is unpredictable. If we go now, we might encounter it ahead.
The Grand Master of the [War Tower] had his soul buried in the endless deep sea during the Great Crusade. At the last moment, he chose to cut off his soul and free the complete [Vortex].
But for some unknown reason, [Wortex] did not act according to the Grand Duke's established procedures, but wandered in the southern part of the empire. Fortunately, its underlying procedures did not allow it to approach the town privately.
If you encounter it in the future, remember to hide your presence, it is only hostile to high-density souls.
If you had continued to toss just now, I would have been discovered by it, and we would all have died! "
Holo opened his mouth, but he didn't understand for a while:
"Program? Isn't it a soul beast?"
Mena slapped his head. He forgot that Hero, a child who knew nothing, didn't know a lot of common sense.
"This is the greatness of the Grand Duke. During the Great Crusade, he gathered all the resources of the [War Tower] to artificially create this supernatural soul beast.
There are even some towers that involve the field of soul machines, which is not surprising. "
"The flesh and blood are weak and the machine ascends?"
That Grand Duke is really awesome for taking this path. Who would dare to put their souls in this direction?
If his own awakened soul circuit is related to this aspect, he can really consider it.
Look at that giant war beast, its agitated aura alone makes it difficult for low-level magicians to withstand it.
Hero has almost lost his fear of giants in the past few days, seeing a total of three soul beasts.
One end is bigger than the other!
The smallest scorpions are two stories tall.
It is estimated that the smallest spirit beasts that will be seen in the future will only be octopus babies hatched from eggs.
"Get some sleep, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
Mena said hello, covered himself with a silver robe and began to rest, while Hero looked at the wide path plowed by the [Whirlpool Canal], sat there for a while, and then fell back and began to rest.
.......
Before dawn, the old capital of Galle was sleeping in the dream of a prosperous and peaceful age.
Except for the Black Forest Port, this is the southernmost city in the true sense.
At the top of the towering gray-white city wall, there is a row of female statues lined up. The face of each statue is hidden under the hood, only the mysterious smile and the exquisite body are faintly revealed.
"This is Galle. The traces of history are really visible."
Hero was wearing a silver robe and looked at the magnificent city wall.
The robe had been given to him by Mena when he was approaching the town.
Although Mena didn't say anything, he still saw the meaning in Mena's eyes...
He couldn't afford to embarrass this person by following him in such rags!
Many border cities are not guarded by high-level magicians, so Mena does not need to show his tower certificate to prove his identity.
With a casual call of spirit, the guard let them in without even paying the door fee.
As for what level Mena is, whether he belongs to the Empire Tower camp or the Chaotic Evil camp.
They can't control it, and they don't dare to.
Immediately after entering the town, Mena took Hero to a rather conspicuous building.
Pure white Baroque dome, quiet and warm garden, and a blooming apple tree at the door.
The person who came out to greet him was a sorceress from the Scarlet Tower. While receiving treatment, Hero caught a glimpse of Mena's ambiguous eye contact with her.
He Luo felt helpless as Ganqing was still an old friend.
His wounds have almost recovered after last night's rest. After a glorious healing process, the last scar has disappeared.
While Mena and the sorceress didn't know where to go, Hero also took the opportunity to use the room to clean himself.
"As expected, I still look handsome when I'm clean. It would be even better if I gained more weight!"
Holo's appearance is very clean now, but the eyes are still very deep, and even look a little dark and evil when they are in the shadows.
No, I have to become a sunny boy in the future. Now when people see me like this, they think I am a villain.
After groping for a piece of men's plain clothes, he put on a silver robe, walked out of the room and started wandering in the garden.
Not to mention, the quality of this robe was so good that he couldn't put it down.
After being hungry all night and not finding anything to eat after shopping around, Hero picked an apple at the door and took a big bite. The sweet juice instantly moistened his throat, making it especially sweet.
After finishing the fruit in two or three times, Hero reached out and wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve. He raised his head and saw Mena coming out, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"You're going too fast."
After one night's experience, Hero's unfamiliarity with Mena disappeared a lot. Maybe this was the friendship between men. Even Mena didn't care about the title. His character and temper were just so weird.
"Go, go, what do children know about the Baron? I'm leaving this gentleness for the future. Let's go, it's time to go back after being out for so long."
Even though Hero held his stomach and told him that he was hungry, he didn't waste time eating.
Take Holo through the streets and alleys of Galle, making many twists and turns.
"Are you looking for something?"
Mena didn't answer him.
The two found a dead end.
There were two small stone beasts on the ground at the end of the alley, just like the stone lions that guarded the gates in ancient times, but much smaller in size. Hero felt that he could kick them away with one kick.
Mena took out a bag of coins and sprinkled them in front of the little beast's mouth. The coins shone blue on the ground.
Pointing at the little beast, he said to Hero:
"The empire has a vast territory, and towns are far apart, so magicians will use [gates] when traveling around the empire. The previous chess pieces were disposable items. They were considered as one-way round-trip tickets, and the distance they could be transported was not far.
This kind of mechanism hidden in the darkness of the town can travel anywhere in the empire. As long as an anchor point is set, enough soul coins are paid according to the length of the journey, it can be teleported multiple times over long distances. "
As the two little beasts devoured the soul coins on the ground, a huge target point occupying the entire wall was formed between them.
