Volume 3: Dramatic Changes in Life Chapter 213: Shadow by the Lake (1)

George, who didn't know that he had been labeled as a "son-in-law candidate" by the blacksmith Victor, was stopped by a strange old man in front of the dock in the town of Morak.

"Boy, give me the password, or you can't board the ship!" This is what the old man said over and over again, but it was this sentence that made George hate it.

According to the location given to George by the bartender, the Temple of the Heretic Trial was located not far from the other side of the red-scaled lake. Night had fallen. George originally thought that the dock had been closed and the water route was not feasible, but when he got close to the lake It was only later that I discovered that the lighthouse next to the pier was shining brightly with magical light, and the channel in the lake was illuminated as clearly as daylight.

Moreover, unlike the crowded scene during the day, it is no exaggeration to describe the pier at this time as bustling with people:

Caravans of all sizes crowded the avenue in front of the dock. The nobles seemed to be attending a masquerade ball, wearing various masks on their faces and holding the catkins of their wives or mistresses in their hands. Enter the dock surrounded by servants and board the exquisite yacht.

After looking at the huge lake shoreline, George gave up the idea of ​​riding across the shore and decided to cross the shore by ferry. However, just when the team in front of the pier finally got his turn, the strange old man in front of the pier stopped him and refused to let him get on the boat no matter what.

George originally wanted to use his telepathy talent to detect the password, but the strange thing is that since entering this area, George seemed to be in a chaotic mental magnetic field. His originally tried-and-true telepathy talent actually failed. Not only this The old man, and even other nobles, George could not use his telepathic talent.

After his plan failed, George changed his tactics and quietly put a gem into the strange old man's hand, but the old man didn't even look at it, and slapped the gem into the lake.

At that moment, George almost couldn't help but want to pull out the vampire kiss from his waist and send this strange old man on his way. But he still endured it forcefully.

There were too many nobles around, and George didn't want to get angry after making trouble here. Moreover, although this strange old man looked weak, George could feel that his actual combat power level was definitely above the third-level intermediate level, plus the strange old man There are also a group of masters disguised as boatmen around them. If they can't kill them all in one blow, they will really follow the stick, and there will be endless troubles.

"Little brother, you should hurry up!" The nobleman behind George couldn't hold it anymore and stepped forward to ask the strange old man about the situation. But when he knew that George was turned away just because he didn't have a password, he instead Showing a relaxed expression.

"What? It's just a small matter. Old man, please help me register. I'll be his introducer and vouch for him."

After the nobleman approached the strange old man, he lifted up a corner of the mask on his face, revealing a crack, allowing the strange old man to confirm his identity.

"Okay... next one."

George thought that the weird old man would hesitate or refuse, but he didn't expect that he agreed very simply, without any delay at all.
