Chapter 271
Chapter 271
Without wasting any time, Julian tightened his grip on Owen, and quickly ran towards the seaside city.
This city is quite prosperous, not even worse than the king's capital Crook.
It’s just that it’s also a coastal city. This city is obviously more commercial, and it has two different styles from Alisa City.
He carried Owen on his back to the city gate. There was an endless stream of horses and horses on the road facing the city gate. The guards at the city gate were very busy. They carefully checked all kinds of vehicles and goods, and they did not act like ordinary guards. It's the same as taking advantage of the caravan.
Julian noticed that the merchants were very respectful and not afraid of these guards, which made him involuntarily develop a good impression of the master of the city.
He didn't go in hastily, but turned around a few times, found a carriage, observed for a while, and after confirming that there was no one inside, he got in quietly.
The people in this caravan probably traveled frequently to and from Canai Port, and they were very assured of the safety of the vicinity. The guards of the caravan stood with the leader, and no one noticed that there were two more uninvited guests in the last carriage.
The team moved forward slowly, and soon it was the caravan's turn. According to the management, the guards guarding the city inspected these carriages separately, and the person in charge of the last one happened to be a young city guard captain.
The cart was loaded with some cloth, and after the team leader jumped into the carriage, he was shocked to see a stunning beauty sitting in the carriage.
The beauty blinked at him, and the team leader suddenly felt dazed. He vaguely heard the beauty begging him to pretend he didn't see her existence. He vaguely agreed. After jumping off the carriage, he forgot what happened just now. Everything, just remember that there was nothing on this wagon but cloth.
"Let go!" The team leader raised his hand to signal, and the team quickly passed the city gate and entered Canai Port.
The carriage staggered forward, and no one knew that after the carriage entered the city, the two overlapping figures quietly left the team.
After entering the city, Julian quickly confirmed the layout of the city. In the area where civilians lived, he took away two sets of local clothes. Of course, he left behind a small piece of gold, which was forced to buy and sell.
After changing clothes for himself and Owen, Julian walked to the street generously. Canai Port is built along the sea. There are two ports on the north and south sides. The sea transportation here is very developed, and the streets come and go. The horse-drawn carriage handles a huge amount of goods every day.
Judging from what Julian observed, the number of aborigines in this land abandoned by the gods may be quite large, perhaps even more than the number of people in the Maggie Kingdom.
He didn't look for an inn right away. In the absence of enough currency, taking out the gold coins of the Maggie Kingdom was undoubtedly self-declaration. It was impossible for him to do so before he was sure about the attitude of these aborigines towards outsiders.
So, Julian simply asked someone to find out where Cross Street was behind Owen's back.
He found a middle-aged boy playing in the street, gave him a small piece of gold, and the fellow immediately left his companion and led Julian to the Cross Street.
Cross Street is located in the south of the city, close to one of the piers. It seems to be a commercial street. The reason for using the word "seemly" is mainly because there are many shops on both sides of the street, but in fact most of them have been closed. A few shops are still holding on.
No. 75 Cross Street is one of the shops that are still persisting.
"Glamourous Fashion Store"
A place to buy clothes?
Thinking this way, Julian bypassed the crumbling signboard and walked into the shop.
The inside of the store is very small, and when you enter the gate, you are facing the counter. A man is lying on it, sleeping soundly, and you can't see his face clearly.The shelves on both sides of the counter should have been filled with fabrics, but they were empty at the moment. It seemed that the store would go bankrupt in the next second.
"Hmm... who? What do you want to buy?" Probably awakened by the sound of the door being pushed, the man who was soundly asleep woke up, rubbed his eyes with both hands, glanced at Julian, and said casually.
"We're not here to shop. I'm..."
"What? Didn't you come here to buy things? Are you looking for me for medical treatment?" The man regained his energy all of a sudden, and looked suspiciously at Julian—and the unconscious man on his back, "Hey! I I've told you many times, I'm an elf, but I don't know healing spells at all, so it's useless even if you bring people here."
The room was relatively dark, and the man had been lying on his stomach until this time, before Julian saw the man's true face.
Theoretically speaking, he should be handsome, but now the scruffy beard covers almost half of his face, so Julian can only rely on guessing, he just said that he is an elf, generally speaking, elves It doesn't look too bad no matter what.
"Tsk, I'm so troublesome." The man muttered that he didn't know how to heal, but he walked out from behind the counter. He pinched the bridge of his nose to refresh himself, and said to Julian with a look of disgust: "Okay, okay, Put the person on the ground first, there is a pharmacist living at the end of this street, if you really want to treat people, begging him is more effective than begging me."
Julian didn't want to put Owen on the ground, and after seeing the thick layer of dust on the ground, he didn't want to.
He didn't have such an idea about healing or something, not to mention that Owen's injury was spiritual. Not to mention that half of the pharmacists can't cure it, even if the archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light is called, he may not be able to come up with it. any solution.
Seeing that Julian rejected his proposal, the man was not angry, but slowly returned to the counter: "You go, since you don't want to treat him, why do you come to me?"
"I'm here to deliver something."
"Send something." The man squinted at him.
"I was entrusted to deliver this box to No. 75, Cross Street, Canai Harbor." Julian took out the box and put it on the counter. "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. Well, my goal has been achieved, so I will leave." said I'm leaving when I'm done.
"Wait!" The man was startled when Owen took out the box, and when he heard that he was entrusted to deliver things here, he looked at Julian in disbelief.
Julian let the other party look at him. He did this with no regrets. Maybe it took a while, but that was helpless. After all, he didn't know where Canai Harbor was before.
The man took the box and gently stroked the pattern on it, with a sad and happy expression on his face, clearly lost in memories.Julian achieved his goal. He did this to thank the man with glasses for taking care of him. He didn't ask for anything in return. Seeing the man staring at the box in a daze, he decided to take this opportunity to leave here.
Before he could walk out the door, he was stopped by a man: "Wait a minute."
"What else?" Julian turned to look at him.
The man stroked the box lightly, and after a while, he asked softly, "What is the picture of the person who gave you the box?"
Julian recalled it for a while, and described the image of the man with glasses at the time. The man showed a very obvious loss, and then he sighed: "No, at least I can guess that you are still busy with other things. , rather than silently..."
The voice gradually fell, and Julian simply pretended not to hear it. He was only entrusted to deliver the goods, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I'm leaving."
The man looked at him with great interest: "Do you know what's in this box? You know, everyone who knows the existence of this box is dead, even if you hide this box, no one will know."
Julian said lightly: "I know."
The man raised his eyebrows, and his fingertips slid across a certain pattern. The box opened with a snap, and a strong breath of life burst out all of a sudden.
Julian saw a small piece of soil and a green branch in the box.The branches are inserted into the soil, and such a strong breath of life is undoubtedly the branches of the tree of life.
"Would you regret not taking this box away?" The man looked at him jokingly, which was a kind of non-malicious teasing.
Julian pinched his nose: "I guess, you must want me to say that I regret it, but I have to tell you that I believe that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. I like money very much, because money can buy a lot of money." things, but I value my commitment more.”
A gleam flashed in the man's eyes, and he said approvingly: "Yes, young people should have a bottom line. If you can't even keep your promise, why not go home and feed the children, and why not take risks."
Julian heard a bit of resentment from his words, and it is estimated that he might have been tricked like this back then.
"Yes, young man, you did a good job." The man patted Julian on the shoulder: "I know you don't ask for anything in return, but how do you say that, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, you are our elves Sending back such a valuable thing, I can't let you go back empty-handed."
Having said that, he rubbed his hands and showed a smile that can be described as simple and honest: "But... we elves are really poor, you see, we really can't produce anything good."
Julian: ...
He looked at this man speechlessly, and said that if you don't want it, you insist on giving it. When I'm ready to accept it, you say you are poor. What do you mean by that?
The man seemed amused by Julian's speechless expression, and he smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you, but the reward we give you is not to give you something directly, but to help you remove the seal on something of yours." .I promise, the value after removing the seal must be far beyond your imagination."
Julian looked at him suspiciously, suspecting the liar he met, what kind of seal?I don't have anything with a seal in my hand at all... Could this guy be trying to cheat me of my money?
Seen by Julian's suspicious eyes, the man's head was extremely big, and the corner of the man's mouth twitched: "Okay, I won't play charades with you anymore, I can feel that you still have a seed of the tree of life on your body, but that seed It's been sealed, it's dead from the outside, I can help you activate it, as long as you can find enough soil - I'm talking soil that can grow the tree of life, dug out from under the living tree of life Best - you can plant the tree of life seeds in it, and then you can have an elf tree of life!"
Julian's heart suddenly moved. Although he didn't know the seed of the tree of life, he knew the soil for planting the tree of life!Isn't that the piece of soil Asrat gave him!
Is it really such a coincidence?
Owen Diary:
Today is also a day without drama, but fortunately, being skin-to-skin with Julian has comforted my thirsty soul.
——It would be even better if we could touch at a negative distance.
