My Magic Age

Galapagos looks like a city that is slowly decaying.

The night is like a giant beast sneaking out of the darkness, swallowing up the light bit by bit. Only some houses built on high places will have bright lights shining through the glass windows. Those in low-lying valleys There is no light in the low house built on the rock that is difficult to climb.

At this time, a waiter walked in and silently lit the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, making the room much brighter.

The ingredients in this restaurant are very fresh, perhaps because some of the seafood comes directly from the pier.

Although this restaurant is not considered a top-notch restaurant in Galapagos City, the seafood is indeed very delicious.

"Where else do you want to go after dinner?" Joan put down the silver spoon in her hand and asked Noah and me.

She ate all the seafood risotto on the plate. It was obvious that she liked it very much.

It can be seen that Joan is a well-educated girl.

When she eats, she doesn't make any sounds, doesn't show her teeth, and doesn't talk to us.

"We want to find a tavern!" Noah glanced at me and said to Joan.

This was something Noah and I had discussed in advance. We wanted to find out more about the Kraken while we were in Galapagos City.

However, it is clear that Joan misunderstood us.

"Do you want to just drink, or do you want to have fun?" Joan smiled at us and then asked.

Before Noah could give an answer, she turned her head to the side, as if she wanted to say something intimate to Jacques.

When I turned my head, I clearly rolled my eyes in front of Jacques with those big black and white eyes, and whispered to Jacques in a low voice: "Are all the aristocratic young men of yours such a virtuous people?"

Jacques was so stunned that he couldn't speak when he heard what Joan said.

"With those beautiful ladies traveling in the Vashj plane, is it necessary to go to the tavern to have fun?" Joan quickly said to Jacques. She was very sure that she and Jacques could not whisper. Be heard.

Jacques used gestures to show her that he was not that kind of person, and he was very worried about being caught by us and did not dare to make any big moves.

"What are you two whispering about?" Noah sat aside and asked Jacques very curiously.

Then, he said a joke casually: "You're not saying bad things about us, are you?"

"How is that possible! Joan just discussed with me which tavern in Galapagos City has the most local characteristics." Jacques smiled awkwardly.

Joan seemed very calm at the moment, showing a sweet smile to Noah.

I glanced at Joan lightly and said to her: "We want to go to the kind of tavern where we can buy news!"

"Then go to the Adventurer Bar?" Joan immediately named a bar.

Then she moved her chair forward, leaned forward slightly, and added in a low voice: "The prices there are the most reasonable, and almost all adventure groups like to go there to get information."

If she hadn't been extremely familiar with this city, I would have let Noah send her away.

However, the strong female swan is still there, and it is hard to lie down and play.

I always feel that the identity of this pretty girl with dark skin, who can talk calmly in front of the magician nobles, and can tease us quietly with Jacques next to her, must not be as simple as Jacques introduced. , a girl from a civilian family cannot do these things no matter what.

…

When we walked out of the restaurant, a dark fog had enveloped the city of Galapagos.

There were almost no pedestrians on the street. In the deserted street, even the homeless people lying under the shade during the day were nowhere to be seen.

Only outside the city wall, the sound of waves washing against the rocks could be heard from time to time. Countless waves crashed into pieces on the black rocks, and then flowed into the sea along the gaps between the rocks. In this way, the rocks have gradually become There are no edges and corners, and it is covered with a thick layer of prickly oyster shells.

"Do everyone here go to bed so early?" I asked Qiong curiously.

The night in the Galapagos is a bit scary. The street lights on both sides of the street are just decorations, and there is no night watchman holding a torch to light them.

Some streets are built along the rocks, and the ground is slightly uneven. It is inevitable that one foot will be deeper and the other shallower when walking.

A ball of fire rose from the palm of Noah's hand and slowly floated over the team. The road under his feet became clear, leaving only a row of shadows on the stone road.

Four stone drum totems of different colors slowly rotated around my body, illuminating the path under my feet.

"The public security in the city has been very poor recently. There are always people disappearing in the city for no reason. After nightfall, no one dares to walk out of the house casually." Qiong said to all of us, and then said self-deprecatingly: "Those people must be They won’t come to us so blindly.”

"I hope I can meet them, which can be regarded as solving the long-standing security problem in Galapagos City!" Noah laughed.

I followed Noah, taking care of Ying Li behind me, and asked Qiong: "Don't those knights in the guard camp think of a way?"

Qiong snorted lightly before saying, "They have thought about it, but after three knights died inexplicably, they haven't dared to go out alone at night recently."

Joan's tone was full of contempt for the knights of the Guard Camp Knights.

The stone slabs on the street became a little wet under the mist, as if a layer of slippery moss had grown on them.

In the mist, a ray of light finally shined through.

It was a tavern built at the end of the street. There was no writing on the door, but a big wine glass was painted on the sign. On the shelves outside the tavern, there were worn-out luggage and pairs of old shoes. As I got closer, I saw the words "Adventurer Bar" carved with a knife on the door frame.

Before I even pushed the door open, I heard the noise and the smell of ale coming from inside.

There were not many guests in the tavern, and they chatted casually in twos and threes, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

But when Joan led us in, the chatter in the tavern suddenly stopped.

The bar owner standing at the bar looked at us seriously, and when he saw Noah walking in front, he said to Noah respectfully: "Dear Magician, what can I do for you? "

His eyes fell on the Knight Rand behind the team, with deep caution in his eyes.

The sudden appearance of seven fully armed knights in the tavern was enough to make the tavern quiet. The drunkards shook their heads vigorously to expel the illusion in their eyes.

I stood in front of the bar with Noah, Ying Li, Shirley Newman, Jacques, Joan, Catalina, Helena, and Becky. The guests who were crowded in front of the bar immediately gave up their seats, holding wine glasses in their hands. Push into the crowd.

We sat on the high chairs in front of the bar, and the other people found two tables and sat down.

"Why don't you give us some ale?" Noah said to the tavern owner.

"Ha, the wine I have here is just the most ordinary ale, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." The tavern owner raised his hand to take down a wine glass, poured the ale into the glass, and carefully pushed it in front of Noah.

Seeing the actions of the tavern owner, the waitresses in the bar returned to the bar one after another, bringing out one cup after another of ale and placing them in front of each of our tables. It seemed that every waitress in the bar had slender thighs. With a tall chest and a sweet smile on his face, even if he was taken advantage of by those sloppy drinkers, he still handed him a glass of wine.

"A glass of ale costs ten coppers," said the tavern owner.

Noah took out two silver coins from his arms and pushed them in front of the tavern owner. The tavern owner calmly put the silver coins into the bar.

"So what's the news?" Noah asked the tavern owner calmly.

When the tavern owner heard Noah's question, his face relaxed and he said: "Ordinary news is worth one gold coin. Some news has to be sold at a price."

Then he added: "However, before you buy information from me, you can have a casual chat with the people here. If you are willing to invite them to have a drink, these drunkards will even tell them the bust size of their mother-in-law. Tell you."

The tavern owner made it very clear. There was a lot of worthless information that could be found out in the tavern.

"We want to know some news about the Kraken." I said to the tavern owner.

Noah sat next to me and said: "If anyone has seen them in the Vashj plane, or knows which sea areas hide the Kraken, you can tell us."

After saying that, he placed a gold coin on the bar, slowly pushed it to the tavern owner, and then said: "If anyone knows, we don't mind buying them a drink!"

The tavern owner pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and then shook his head: "No one has talked about the Kraken for a long time. I heard that a few decades ago, an outside adventure group encountered the Kraken, but there has been no such thing in recent years." I’ve heard people talk about it.”

"Do you need to keep this issue confidential?" The tavern owner thought for a moment and then asked us.

Noah and I looked at each other and shook our heads at the same time.

"Okay..." The tavern owner decisively grabbed the gold coin on the table, raised his hand high, and asked loudly to the people in the bar: "Has anyone survived the news about the Kraken?"

All the people in the tavern's eyes were attracted by the tavern owner, and it was only at this time that the tavern became quiet.

But for a while, no one was willing to answer the call.

Unexpectedly, the adventurers in Galapagos City knew nothing about the Kraken.

There was silence in the tavern for a while, and then the original atmosphere returned. Most of the drinkers were adventurers who came from all over the world to explore. Many adventure groups make a living by hunting monsters. They have been wandering at sea for a long time. Every once in a while, they will return to the island for supplies, and many people will take the opportunity to run into the tavern to have a drink.

However, at this time, a man with a somewhat wretched appearance and a stooped body appeared next to the bar. His eyes fell on the gold coin in the hand of the tavern owner. He kept rubbing his hands and said with some uncertainty: "I know something." News about the Kraken.”

Hearing what he said, our group's eyes all fell on him.

His body was shaking slightly, but he boldly grabbed a glass of ale from the bar, drank it all in one go, and then slammed the glass on the bar, his face slightly flushed.

"I heard that there is something hidden at the bottom of the sea in the Great Abyss..."

Before the man finished speaking, the bar owner in the bar had already leaned out, grabbed his collar in his hand, lifted him in the air across the bar with one hand, and said sternly: "Don't you want to live?" If you dare to buy this kind of fake news here, why don’t you keep your eyes open and see what these nobles are wearing!”

"..."

The man's collar was firmly grasped by the bar owner's pliers-like hands. He tried hard to break the bar owner's hand with both hands, but the hand did not move at all.

It wasn't until the man was almost suffocated that the bar owner threw him out.

The man fell to the ground and was beaten to pieces. His face turned purple from suppressing the pain. He got up from the ground in embarrassment. He even thought about rushing up to argue with the bar owner, but before he could rush to the bar, he was stretched out. One of his feet stumbled, and he fell out like a dog eating shit.

Before he could recover from his dizziness, a long sword with a deep cold light was already placed on his neck. A construct knight pointed the long sword at his neck and stepped on it. on his chest.

Knight Lant calmly moved a chair next to him and said calmly: "If this boss hadn't thrown you out just now, I would have stabbed you in the back with a sword. It’s a corpse now.”

Then he said to the man: "You are deceiving a noble! Do you know how much it costs to deceive a noble?"

Knight Lant said: "Do you really think we don't even know where the Great Abyss is?"

The sharp sword just shook back and forth on the man's neck, completely frightening the man out.

Noah and I have also heard about the so-called Great Abyss of the Vashj Plane.

I heard that there is a space rift there, and the Faceless Legion of the dark forces is stationed there.

After such an episode, the drinkers in the tavern who had become a little eager to try because of their evil intentions suddenly became quiet.

In the end, we only had a glass of wine in the Adventurer Bar, and we found nothing about the Kraken, so we walked out of the bar.

After walking out of the 'Adventurer Bar', Joan asked us again: Do you still want to go shopping? Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest?

Noah, who was next to him, said to Joan: "We want to go to Dunay Island. Is there any way to rent a boat and find a more reliable captain?"
