038 Bet
In Delbon City, a wide road leads forward, and every few dozen meters, there is a left and right intersection. Square buildings with different heights also extend to the distance.
There are many hawkers on both sides of the street, as well as many skinny beggars, with a tattered pottery bowl in front of them.
Because it was early morning, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but it seemed very lively.
As soon as Roland and Beta came in, they pinched their noses at the same time.
Because... it's too smelly.
The streets are filled with excrement, humans and animals. In the drainage ditches on both sides, there are clusters of yellowish colors that cannot be seen directly.
Hongtu Town is not too clean, but at least it is not so dirty.
But this is very consistent with the medieval style.
As soon as Roland and Beta appeared, they attracted the attention of almost everyone, but most people looked at them and looked away.
No one wants to cause trouble.
Beta also felt this atmosphere. He pinched his nose and said in a strange tone: "I feel that the people in this city seem to be afraid of the nobles. Whether it is the merchants outside just now, they are residents in the city. The people in Hongtu Town are not so afraid of me, and some people even take the initiative to chat with me."
Roland thought for a while and smiled and said, "Hongtu Town is a remote town, with simple people. The most powerful figures there are Falken and the mayor. Both are older people with gentle personalities. The people in Hongtu Town naturally do not have much intuitive feelings about the aristocratic power, but it is different here. With a population of nearly one million, there will definitely be many big figures. It is hard to say how many of them have surly personalities."
Beta thought about it and thought that the same was true. The same is true for modern cities. The bigger the city, the more densely populated the place, the more weird people there are. He understands this.
The two were walking on the street, and the pedestrians around subconsciously avoided them.
As the two walked, they saw a pool of sewage in front of them.
The sewage on this beach is very large, not only occupying the entire street, but also very long. Neither Roland nor Beta could jump over it.
Many pedestrians walked over on tiptoe, and even if there were some yellow and white things in the sewage, they didn't care much about them. They were ordinary people and didn't pay so much attention.
The nobles were traveling in carriages and were not worried about this situation.
At this time, on the third floor of the building on the right, a young man looked at Roland and Beta with interest through the window.
"Young nobles and spellcasters I have never seen before." The young man looked pretty good, and he turned his head to his companion next to him and said, "But they seem to have encountered some trouble. Do you think they will solve this problem in front of him?"
Several noble people looked up to the window and looked down.
One said, "I will take a detour."
Another said: "If it were me, I would throw some money out and let the untouchables lie on a ladder, and I would walk past them."
“Good idea.”
The others were in line with each other, and the young noble who had just spoken was quite proud.
The nobleman who initially spoke said, "If it were me, I would turn around and hire a carriage. These two are obviously unfamiliar faces, not our locals. If they take a detour, they might be going around themselves wrongly. And things like human ladders are too high-profile, and they will hurt the hearts of civilians and have bad evaluations of us."
"Hahaha, John, you're still so 'kind'."
The young nobleman named John chuckled: "Let's bet."
"How to bet?"
"If the following two people use the three methods we just mentioned, I will ask everyone to be happy for three more days."
"What if they use other methods?" someone asked.
"Then each of you will attend my sister's birthday party the day after tomorrow."
"Hahaha, OK, no problem."
Everyone was very happy. John's words meant that he continued to pay to make everyone happy for a few more days, or went to his sister's banquet, which was a good thing. No matter what the result was, it would not be a loss for them.
In the street downstairs, Beta looked at the sewage and was a little at a loss. He scratched his head and said, "Why don't we go around from other places."
"Need not."
Roland stretched out his fingers, a cloud of cold air poured out from his fingertips, passing through the middle of the sewage, and then an ice road appeared.
This is a derivative magic of the Ice Ring Technique and a gadget that Roland has made recently. It is not powerful, but he thinks that if used properly, it can be used as a freezing technique and can be used in some special occasions.
For example, now.
And in the window on the second floor, a group of young nobles were silent. Finally, John laughed: "What an interesting spellcaster. The first time I saw such a squandering man."
Beta also exclaimed: "Magic is so useful."
The appearance of magic made the residents around him feel a little surprised. Then he saw that Roland and Beta had no intention of hurting others, so he gradually calmed down.
Walking past the ‘Ice Bridge’, Roland and Beta continued on.
When they entered the city just now, they asked the guards guarding the city. The tallest white tower-shaped building in the city was the Magic Association.
And this magic tower is far from the end of the road.
Delbon City is very big, and the white magic tower looks very close, but it is actually a bit far away.
The two walked for nearly half an hour before they reached the door of the tower.
Here is a square paved with blue and white floor tiles, without a trace of garbage, which looks quite clean.
The magic tower is made of pure white rocks without a gap, as if the rock was born to grow into a tower.
Moreover, the tower covers a large area, with an estimated radius of at least seventy meters.
Looking up at the top of the tower, Roland could feel that the tower exuded a rather regular hidden fluctuation.
"Is this tower a magical creature?" Roland murmured softly.
At this moment, Beta suddenly said, "Brother Roland, I won't go in with you. After all, I'm not a magician. I plan to walk around the city to see if I can trigger any mission!"
Roland frowned and asked, "How do we gather?"
"On the way I came, I saw a hotel called 'Lamb' on the side of the road, where I would stay. If you want to find me, you can go there."
"Okay." Roland nodded: "This city is big, and it is also a good choice for us to explore separately."
Beta waved at Roland and ran away excitedly.
Roland looked at the gate of the Magic Association and slowly approached.
As soon as he walked to the door, one of the two guards stood up and blocked him: "Sorry, only internal personnel can enter the Magic Tower. Do you have a mage certificate?"
Roland was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How to get the certificate?"
