Main Text Volume Chapter 356 The Commotion at the Harbor

Three days later, when the frozen earth moon came, Angel finally built the model of voice transmission successfully with the help of the holographic tablet.

When other wizard apprentices build a new magic model, they usually consume 3/4 of the magic power in the magic source, mainly because the levels of other apprentices are generally the same as the magic.

But when it was Angel's turn to build the model, the magic power consumed in the end was less than one-thirtieth of the magic source, which also shows that his level is much higher than the magic level.

The reason for this situation is that, firstly, it is because of the "Singularity Scattering Meditation Method", there is basically no bottleneck in cultivation, and the efficiency is extremely high; secondly, in that plane channel, the cultivation speed is inexplicably accelerated several times, and when he is in the plane channel, he can't concentrate on magic research, but can only practice with one heart. The final result is that now he has reached the level, but his strength has not kept up.

Fortunately, when he really fights, he has other secret weapons, so he is not too anxious at the moment. As for the problem of magic tricks, he could only spare more time to study them. After all, the magic tricks he wanted to learn now were mostly about understanding and integrating knowledge, not about learning them immediately.

After studying the art of voice transmission, Angell next started the "healing art", which was also one of the magic tricks that he had to learn.

However, when Angell was about to start studying, someone knocked on the door again.

As soon as he opened the door, Angell saw an old face with a pale face.

When he saw Angell, he was frightened in his eyes and said timidly: "Fake... Master Mask... I, I..."

He shivered for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Master Mask, Tyrael has reflected on himself these days and has realized his mistakes. Please forgive him." The speaker was an old lady with wrinkled skin. Angell remembered this person, Caroline, a national treasure-level doctor.

As for the shivering old man, it was Tyrael who was arrogant before. Now, he has been tortured by the horror illusion for three days, leaving only a skinny body. Even his spirit and energy were gone by 70%, how could he still have the arrogance of the day before.

"I have punished those who should be punished, don't bother me in the future." Angel didn't want to waste time on unimportant things, so he closed the door without hesitation.

After returning to the living room, Angel didn't continue to study healing, but thought about Tyrael's visit.

He was not thinking about Tyrael himself, but these people came to visit one by one, which made him very annoyed. Not to mention Baal and the magician, Leonrick and Tyrael obviously checked him secretly before knowing the address here.

It's okay to investigate, and he himself has no intention of hiding his tracks. But this group of people disturbed him unscrupulously, which made him a little unhappy. This is not a tavern, and anyone can come and stay.

After thinking about it, Angel called Du Shan and asked her not to go out for the time being and teach at home. Then he arranged several illusion nodes near the house to construct a basic illusion.

This illusion does not harm the human body; but Angell has incorporated some of his own ideas. Anyone who steps into the illusion will be aroused by the nightmare atmosphere and fear in their hearts... As for what the final result will be, Angell is too lazy to think about it. There is always a price to pay for disturbing his thoughts, isn't it?

At night, Angell followed the moonlight and the quiet waterway to the center of the bay area.

There is a spacious square here, with fan-shaped floor tiles and traces of elegance. In the center of the square is a statue of a contemplative old man reading a book. Around the statue is a fountain.

During the day, this place is crowded with people. People play with flying birds and white pigeons, listen to the music of street performers, and live a pleasant life.

But at this time, it was late at night. There was no one in the square. Except for the whistling of the evening wind, only the fountain continued to make a constant sound of water.

Angel lowered his hat and slowly walked to the end of the square, where there was a multi-towered hall like a church.

——This is the central library that enjoys the highest reputation in the academic world of Waterglass.

Angell walked in. There were armored guards standing guard in the front hall, but none of them noticed Angell and all turned a blind eye.

Passing through a deep corridor reflecting irregular colored glass windows, he came to the first floor of the hall. There were dozens of bookshelves neatly arranged here, and each bookshelf was marked with a classification, but Angell ignored these books directly. He did not stop here, but continued to move forward.

According to the information provided by Bal, at the end of the first floor hall, there is a passage leading to the basement, and Angell's destination, the ancient book secret library, is there.

Along the way, he met several teams of guards on duty, but under the effect of "boundless silence", no one stopped him.

He arrived at the ancient book secret library smoothly.

The key to the secret library is divided into three, which are controlled by the director of the library and two deputy directors respectively. If others want to enter, they must get the authorization of the three directors.

Angel didn't bother to care about these. He stretched his mental tentacles into the hole and gently opened the complicated lock core.

After entering the ancient book secret library, Angel casually set up an illusion in front of the door so that people would not notice the situation here.

The ancient book secret library is not big, with about a dozen bookshelves. Although it is full of stale smell, there is no dust, which shows that someone cleans it frequently.

Angel didn't waste time and started to read one book after another.

According to the woman who runs a clinic, her grandfather saw the "snake entwined in a scepter" pattern in a book. So Angel did not read carefully, but controlled three magic hands, plus his own hands, to read four books at the same time, stopping whenever he saw similar patterns.

His flipping speed is extremely fast, and he can finish a book in a few seconds. Plus he was flipping through four books at the same time, so it was even more efficient.

Time passed slowly while he was reading...

…

While the bay area was sleeping in silence, the onshore area of ​​Waterglass was still in the dazzling stage. Especially Taluo Seaport, the most prosperous inland trading port in the entire Fuxu Royal Court, was sleepless all night.

The sailors unloading the goods and the merchants picking up the goods changed batch after batch. There is also an endless stream of ships docking at the port. Many people arrive at Haimen in the morning, and there are many people queuing up to enter the port until night.

Such a lively scene will continue until the end of the Tundra Moon. Then Taluo Seaport will experience three months of leisure, until the early part of the Flower Moon, when the sea lanes are unblocked, there will be crowds of people from all directions again.

"Is it your shift change? How many ships are coming into the port today?" The person in charge of the dock saw a man wearing a black velvet cape and night uniform coming over from a distance.

This man is a night clerk who was replaced from Haimen. The so-called Haimen is actually similar to the land gate. It is responsible for registering the stay of foreigners and issuing temporary residence certificates. However, the Haimen registers ships and is busier than the city gate. When the city gates are closed, Haimen is divided into two shifts: day and night workers, which shows how busy they are.

The man on night duty shook his head: "I can't count them. Judging from the ships currently lined up, it will take two or three days. And I heard that the Tiantian Sea has been lifted again. It seems that the merchant ships of the Wude Empire and the Yefu Dynasty are all going to After crossing the ocean, there will be no time to rest.”

The person in charge of the dock patted the night duty man on the shoulder: "It's only been these two weeks. After this period of work, you can rest for three months. By then, Haimen duty will become a job that everyone envies and hates."

The man working the night job was noncommittal: "Although I can take three consecutive months off, I actually prefer to work at Chengmen because my schedule is more stable."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion ahead. The sailors and porters all stopped, and some of them shouted, "The ship is sinking! Go and save people!"

The man on night duty looked back and his eyes suddenly widened: "Oops, there seems to be a problem in Haimen! I'll go over and take a look!"

After saying this, the man on night duty turned around and ran along the shore towards Haimen.

There are six boats on duty in Haimen, all located near the Haimen water rail. When the man on night duty rushed to the Haimen water rail, he discovered that the accident was indeed the Haimen duty boat!

A duty boat about fifteen meters long, the keel in the middle was broken, and now it is like a "V", gradually sinking into the sea.

The parts that were not immersed in the sea were burned by blazing flames. In order not to be burned alive, the night guard who was still alive on the ship had to jump into the water and floated on the sea surface under the stars and moon, with cries for help everywhere.

The sailors on the shore and the night watchmen on other duty ships jumped into the cold water and swam towards the drowned man.

"What happened? Why did the ship break in the middle of the keel!" the man on night duty exclaimed.

Screaming, calling for help, crying, rescuing people... In this mess, no one noticed that an inconspicuous canoe slowly sailed into Taluo Harbor at a leisurely pace.

After the canoe docked and entered the harbor, a man wearing black leather boots stepped ashore.

"My hands are raw... It took a third of my magic power to cut down a boat." The man in leather boots moved his shoulders and muttered to himself.

As he came ashore, a cold wind suddenly blew around him, and several of the oil lamps scattered around the dock were blown out by the wind.

The man in leather boots pressed his hand against the cowhide wide-brimmed hat that was fluttering in the wind: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, so enthusiastic, so eager to wait, you are worthy of being my little cuties."

As he finished speaking, three small black shadows suddenly fell on his shoulders.

At the same time, the wind died down.

The little black shadow came close to his ear and whispered something. The man in leather boots nodded and walked deeper into the night.

When leaving the harbor area, the little black shadow handed more than a dozen small gray cloth bags to the man with leather boots, and then let out bursts of weird laughter and blended into the dark night.

The man in leather boots looked at the small cloth bag still twisting in his palm, and a stern smile appeared on his lips.

After the man in leather boots put away the small bag, he walked all the way towards the central area. When he reached a deep alley, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a shadow.

"Come out, you have followed me for so long, why don't you dare to show up?"

The man in leather boots stared at the shadow steadily. After a while, a small black shadow walked out with hesitant steps.

The man in leather boots stretched out his hand, "Come here."

The little black shadow hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the palm of the man with leather boots.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The little black shadow slowly walked to the man in leather boots and whispered something in a low voice. The man in leather boots raised his sharp eyebrows: "Have you been seen by someone? Ah, ah, ah, this is really difficult to handle."

The little black shadow bowed guiltily.

"I understand, you go first."

After the black shadow left, the man in leather boots said softly: "Interesting, there is someone who can sense Kulakuka here..."
