Chapter 342 A spoonful of dog blood
When we arrived at the top of the mountain, it was exactly noon, the time when the sun was at its strongest.
Angel had previously learned from Tokou that there was a big city on the other side of the mountain, but he had no idea how big it was. It was only after reaching the top and standing on the terrace that I was surprised to discover the vastness of this unknown city.
The first thing Angel noticed was not the city, but the huge body of water. Angel previously thought it was connected to the sea, but after looking down, he discovered that it was actually just an inland lake. However, the area of the lake that you can see is almost half the size of Daredevil City. You must know that Daredevil City is a city with millions of residents!
This large, clear blue lake is like a giant water mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky.
Thousands of white waterbirds fly around the lake and play in the clouds.
And the target that Angel is about to go to, the city built by the water, is not a self-built city surrounded by land as Angel imagined, but is spread out from the foot of the mountain to the lake, with dots extending to the clouds and mist. The huge city at the end.
Within Angel's visual range, the entire lakeshore was covered with buildings, but they were distributed from sparse to dense. In the densest places, the houses were clustered together like ants. Angel roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of thousands of people living there. .
In the densely built areas, Angel even saw some obvious artificial islands that extended to the center of the lake. Many buildings were built on the water, which gave them a unique look.
"It is indeed a big city, and the location is so good." Living by the water, backed by rich mountains and forests, God has also gifted a vast basin and vast waters, which is what Angel has seen. The abundant paddy fields and the more diligent fishing boats show how fertile this land is.
Perhaps, once the location is determined, we can stay here for a while.
But the premise is that we can get to Sky Machinery City before the Purification Garden opens next year.
When going down the mountain, Angel's footsteps sped up a lot. Although the city is very close when viewed from the top of the mountain, time is still a bit tight if we want to get to the gathering area that night and find a place to live.
Because he was approaching a crowded place, Angel took the initiative to weaken his sense of presence in order to avoid trouble.
His black and white plaid trench coat and smiling hat were too eye-catching. The original almost passive effect of the bracelet to eliminate his presence was offset by the eye-catching degree of the trench coat. Now, in order to avoid being high-profile, he can only actively activate the stronger "boundless silence".
Under the effect of boundless silence, Angel is like a shadow walker, his figure looming with the dappled sunlight.
Dudolo, who was following him, was confused for a moment when Angel turned on "Boundless Silence". However, Tatolo's attention was always on Angel, so he didn't lose track of him.
On the way down the mountain, Angel passed through a deep and dense forest.
As soon as he stepped into this forest area where sunlight could not shine, Angel's first feeling was that of coolness, and his second feeling was that of a faint stench lingering here.
This is the wizard's inspiration.
After possessing spiritual power, the wizard's natural inspiration will be amplified, and the smell of filth, undead, evil spirits, etc. can sometimes be felt without detection.
"Have many people died here? Or..." Angel frowned and looked at the soles of his feet: "A lot of people are buried under your feet?"
Although there was filth, it was not enough to turn into an undead. Angel just felt a flash of emotion in his heart and stopped paying attention.
But he didn't take a few steps when he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing in front of him, reaching a large tree with leafy branches on the other side.
The black shadow was very small, no more than the size of a palm, and it was moving very fast. Angel couldn't catch the specific shape with his naked eyes.
"Squirrel? Or flying weasel?" Angel patted the well-fed and sleeping man and signaled him to get up: "Be careful, my safety depends on you."
When Angel said this, he actually never thought about the danger he would encounter. He woke Tuo out of envy and envy for the lazy bird who was eating, sleeping and doing nothing every day, and his strength was still growing. He also wanted to live this kind of life!
Tuo didn't understand Angel's sinister intentions, so he stood on Angel's hat and began to perform vigilance missions.
However, as Angel expected, he didn't encounter any strange things along the way. The little black shadow and the faint odor were like a passing cloud, dissipating in the corner of his memory with just a touch.
Not long after walking out of the dark dense forest, Angel walked out of the mountain forest and came to the plains.
Not long after Angel came down the mountain, he saw a lot of people, including several houses built by the lake. Some people were fishing by the lake, and others were working in the fields. These people are all ordinary people. The clothes they wear are similar to the clothes Angel found in the forest ranger's cabin. Most of them are made of cotton and linen. The women basically wear long skirts and various aprons; the men mostly wear long skirts and various aprons. They are wearing long clothes and long trousers. Although they are not exquisite, the overall look is clean.
Angel did not contact these farmers, but relied on his spiritual power to sense what they said from a distance.
"It's a common language, but the accent isn't heavy." Angel turned back and glanced at Dodo Luo, who was following suit. On the contrary, Dodo Luo had the strongest accent, but I have to say that the soft and high-pitched local accent was very nice.
It seems that Dudolo is not from here, or maybe his accent has changed over the millennia.
The farmers mostly talked about trivial matters in life, and this season was the harvest season every year. Along the way, Angel heard nothing more than which fields harvested more and which fields harvested less. The farmers also discovered their group, but not many people were interested in them. Occasionally, a few pregnant girls looked over and said with emotion that Todoro looked handsome, but no one discussed them again.
This kind of leisurely and nostalgic affairs made Angel feel as if he had returned to Pat Manor. I was young and carefree at that time. He also often goes to the tea garden, and while working, he talks with the maid Ollie and the head maid Mana about family affairs.
Although such days are very relaxing and without nutrition. But it made Angel miss it very much. It was probably because he had been in the wizarding world for too long and had little contact with mortals. As soon as he came here, he was seduced by this peaceful and leisurely life.
Angel shook his head, getting rid of the past memories, and tightened the string in his heart again. He did not dare to relax at all until he achieved the goal of rescuing his mentor.
Continuing to move forward, in order to avoid fertile farmland, the road began to deviate from the fertile soil near the lake. This detour almost reached the Byzantine Mountains before detouring back to the main road.
Angel soon moved from a densely populated area to a sparsely populated area. Although he could see houses and buildings from a distance, they were still too far away.
The main road deviates from the crowds, and is adjacent to the deep forests of the Byzantine Mountains. This is simply the best place for bandits to rob!
Those who took the main road must have been vehicles, and those who were alone must have taken a shortcut by taking a shortcut. The reason why Angel took the main road was because he was not familiar with the road and did not want to cross farmland and disturb the lives of ordinary people too much.
Generally speaking, those who have cars are the wealthy class. The robbers will definitely have a lot of money. After the robbery, they will go straight into the deep forest. It is not too easy!
While Angel complained that the road was too poorly built, he speculated with a dark mind, could it be that the official built it this way? Even if they avoid fertile farmland, they won't avoid such a remote area.
When Angel was thinking this, he heard the arrogant sound of robbery not far away.
Angel's eyes flashed with a look of "Sure enough," and he looked up, but just as he looked over, his eyes suddenly froze.
A few hundred meters away, a tall carriage with an exquisite black sealed carriage was surrounded by a group of knife-wielding men. This group of knife-wielding gangsters basically wore tank tops that exposed their breasts, and wore a black eye mask. The leader was a fat man with a fat head and big ears, and a huge body, revealing a belly that was as bulging as a balloon. He was also the only one not wearing an eye mask. However, there is a deep scar on his right eye, which makes him even more frightened when he wears an eyepatch.
The carriage surrounded by these gangsters looked like a noble carriage. Even the driver was a silver-haired old man wearing a black gentleman's uniform. At this time, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the old man wearing round glasses, and he said to the leader: "What do you want to do? If you want money, we can give it, but After giving it, please leave immediately."
"Of course I want money! But..." The fat man in charge showed a ferocious smile: "But, I also want people! Hand over Miss Magda, we will definitely love her..."
When he mentioned "love", the other gangsters around him showed tacit smiles at the same time, with extremely obscene expressions.
"One-Eyed Brotherhood, do you really dare to take action in Waterglass?! Aren't you afraid of the Earl's wrath!" the old coachman shouted.
A group of gangsters known as the One-Eyed Brotherhood laughed loudly: "Anger? If it is the past, that's fine, but today is different from the past... We are not afraid of that old man Leonric now."
Although I don’t know what the one-eyed brothers have the courage to call the earl by his name, but judging from their fearless appearance, I am afraid they are no longer afraid of the earl. The coachman's face showed a look of defeat. Today's situation is probably a dead end!
Suddenly, the driver saw a shadow walking alone not far away——
"Do you think that the kidnapping of Miss Magda will never be exposed? Once the earl finds out, you will disappear from the world forever!" The coachman said, while taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he gestured to the man who was walking over. .
The gesture had no specific meaning, it was to tell him to run. He may have to confess here today, but if someone can tip off the information and inform the earl, his death will be considered worthy of death.
The driver just wanted the man opposite him to have better eyesight so he could see his strokes.
The man the coachman saw was Tatolo. Of course, Dudolo's eyesight is fine, but it would be difficult for a disabled child to understand his obscure gestures... Angel, who had a very low sense of presence, sighed in a low voice when he saw this.
Dotolo saw the coachman's gesture, but he didn't understand it. His only thought now is to follow Angel.
Therefore, when Dodolo walked a hundred meters away from the scene, even though the gangsters had their backs turned to them, there were still brotherhood members on guard who noticed the movement behind them.
"Boss, there's a man coming from behind! Judging by his clothes, he seems to be a farmer nearby." The scout said to the fat, scarred man while looking at Dotolo.
"Farmer?" The scarred man turned his head and glanced at Dudolo, snorting coldly: "He's just a young man with a stupid head. Capture him and deal with it with the old man later!"
The coachman sighed slightly, his face showing a gloomy look. Not only is she unable to protect herself this time, the young lady may be bullied, and even innocent people may be harmed.
