Chapter 62 Sewer
Sending it away is no longer a transaction.
It is not a transaction, so there is no prohibition.
That’s okay.
The question is, why should someone give such a precious thing to you for free?
Gothe was asking himself, and he also wanted to ask Pierre.
To be honest, he admitted that he had already done a lot of favors to Pierre, but he thought that he could not repay Pierre with anything.
Seeing Gothe freeze for a moment, Pierre seemed to understand what Gothe was thinking, and said with relief:
"Just follow it up as I give it to you. You will definitely need these three spells."
"That small amount of money is useless to me. It's different whether I have it or not."
After thinking about it, Pierre took out a pen and paper from the counter, wrote a few lines of words, and handed it to Gothe.
"Is this?" Gothe took the note and didn't react yet.
"This is my place to stay in Bremen," Pierre explained: "If you go to Bremen one day and can't find a place to stay for the time being, you can come to me."
"Of course, if you go too late, I don't guarantee that I will still be there at that time." The little old man smiled heartily.
Gothe was silent for a moment, and after a while he put away the note, caressed his chest and bowed his head and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Sent Gothe away, watching his back carrying the package disappear from sight, Pierre took a sip of tea into his mouth, his eyes already wandering.
Among mages, there is a saying that is widely circulated:
Spells are a private realm open only to geniuses.
But those who have truly experienced it know that magic is a private realm only open to the rich.
If you are not very talented, you may not be unable to become a high-level mage.
But without money, it is absolutely impossible to become a high-level mage.
It is often said that practicing Dharma is difficult, but the degree of difficulty is also very different.
It is difficult for ordinary people to make a living, and how difficult is it to practice magic a hundred times more than for those from rich families?
He was also born as a commoner, and he managed to find a path through his own efforts.
Now that his journey has come to an end, seeing Gothe at this time is like seeing himself in his youth.
When he was young, he really hoped that someone would lend a hand to help him, but he never had such luck.
In this case, now you should be the one who reaches out.
This is just a simple and easy effort.
Pierre was silent, poured another cup of tea, and poured it into his mouth.
"The precursors of frequent ley lines are enriched in magic power, ley line creatures are increasing, and the population is missing"
Gothe kept repeating these keywords in his mind on the way back. He always felt that he had grasped a key point, but he had ignored it.
Just like this, he couldn't figure it out until he returned to the medicine garden.
Stepping into the medicine garden with a lot of worries, Gaode, who was a little worried, first went to the medicine field area to see how the seedlings planted some time ago were growing.
Aiqi and Raymond were taking care of the seedlings, loosening the soil and fertilizing them, chatting while working.
"Aiqi, during this period of practicing the guidance method, have you noticed that for some unknown reason, the concentration of magic power seems to have increased a lot." Raymond asked smoothly.
"It's true. Two hours of practice these days is almost equal to three hours of practice before. It's so cool!" Ai Qi said with emotion.
The two chatted incessantly.
Gaode was stunned on the spot.
"The concentration of magic power has increased a lot?"
He immediately turned around, returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and quickly entered the meditation state of the guidance method.
As usual, countless stardust appeared in Gothe's consciousness, floating around.
It's just that this time he could clearly sense the amount of stardust, which was almost 50% more than before.
The next moment, Gaode suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of surprise.
During this period, he has been practicing the guidance method with the help of basic magic potion.
Since drinking magic potion eliminates the need to introduce magic power into the body from the outside world, it was only today that we learned from two apprentices that the concentration of magic power in the environment had increased so much during this period.
"Okay, how can the concentration of magic power increase?"
Before the question has completely popped out, Gothe has already thought of the answer: "It is the enrichment of magic power!"
The two major precursors of the rebirth of earth veins: the enrichment of magic power and the increase in the number of earth vein creatures have been verified at this moment.
"The medicine garden is located in the suburbs, far away from the city center and close to the wild, so it can be the first to sense changes in the concentration of magic power."
"At the same time, I also want to understand why the important people in the city, including Pierre, did not notice such an obvious change in the concentration of magic power.
That's because they live in the center of Hogan City, and the influence of the enriched magic power has not yet spread there.
"Is there really going to be a new leyline born? Just outside Hogan City." Although I am not 100% sure, in Gothe's view, this is already a high probability event.
Gothe got up and walked around the room.
Many thoughts are flashing through my mind.
"The phenomenon of enriched magic power has already affected the medicine garden, which shows that the formation of earth veins must have started a long time ago."
"Wait a minute." Gothe thought of another thing.
Two months ago, at Pierre's grocery store, the city guard came to deliver a notice.
At that time, the original words of the city guard were "The number of dark swamp crawlers in the city's sewers has increased sharply recently, and they are extremely active."
If the Dark Swamp Stalker were replaced by its actual identity of "Leyline Creature", wouldn't it be exactly the same as the anomaly that has been going on outside the city for a long time now?
And if you look at it this way, the abnormality actually appeared in the city two months ago.
"The sewer, it's the sewer!" He subconsciously recalled his experience in the sewer. In an instant, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly flashed through Gothe's mind.
The doubts that had troubled Gothe for a long time were solved at this moment:
He might have found where the earth-line creature that caused the strange things in the city came from and where it was hiding!
Two months ago, he went into the sewer to help Pierre clean up the swamp crawlers in the sewer, and obtained the second source from there.
While leaving, I saw a pair of dark red eyes vaguely in the sewer.
It was just that the threat of Master Seda was in front of him at that time, so he had no intention to dwell on the matter. As time passed, he actually forgot about it, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly recalled it.
How did the earth-line creatures bypass the outskirts of Hogan City and reach the center of Hogan City?
How did you hide yourself so that your traces have not been exposed?
This is something that Pierre and the big shots in the city have been unable to figure out.
In fact, the answer is too simple.
Just take the sewer.
There are people on the ground. It is difficult to sneak into the central city quietly, so use the underground sewers.
The city guards searched back and forth, but could never find the hiding place of the possible "earth-line creatures".
Because they have never looked for a sewer.
Why do strange cases of missing people always occur in civilian areas and near commercial areas, while the slum areas have always been safe?
Because the sewer system in Hogan City is not developed, only wealthier areas have rudimentary sewer facilities.
As for the slums, there is no sewer system at all.
Poor people discharge domestic wastewater directly into the streets and nearby rivers.
Gaode was not only affected by this, he was also struck when passing by the slums.
The so-called slime left at the scene is actually the sewage in the sewer, right?
Everything has a reasonable explanation.
