Chapter 876: Chapter 890: Estrangement and encounter
Translator: 549690339
The Iron Guard city was a city with a very… unique geographical location.
It was located below the dark green basin, connected to the Kingdom of the sea, and on the left was the Kingdom of steel, and on the right was the Kingdom of Frost.
The Iron Guard city was also built in a neutral city. There were rich primary crystal ore veins around the city, which attracted merchants and nobles from three countries to develop it.
The initial dispute over the mining of the ore veins had gradually calmed down, and the city was jointly governed by the forces represented by the three countries.
Although it was governance on the surface… secretly, disputes over territory and mineral rights had always been playing out in the city.
Carillo… or rather, the short-touch wand was born in this city that was full of chaos under the order.
The short-tentacle wand quit his job at the Golden Thread half a month ago and applied for leave from the Academy. It took him half a month to rush from the capital of the country of steel to the Iron Guard city at the border.
This was because he received a letter from home. His father told him that something big might happen in the Iron Guard city and asked him to come back to bring his younger brother and sister back to the country of seaside.
“Are you from the Kingdom of Linhai?”
The short-tentacle wand was being examined in front of the teleportation hall of the Iron Guard city. The guards there wore a strange iron mask on their faces. The short-tentacle wand could feel the cold eyes behind the iron mask.
“Yes,”the short-tentacle wand answered the guard truthfully.
After he entered the Iron Guard city, the atmosphere around him became very gloomy.
The guard once again checked the identity certificate that he had submitted.
“Your mother is from the Frost Country?”
The guard’s voice suddenly became terrifying, and he looked at the short-tentacle wand as if he was looking at a monster.
“Yes, is there a problem?”
The short-tentacle wand did not understand what had happened, but when the surrounding guards heard the news, they immediately surrounded him.
“Catch him!”
The guards shouted as they raised their spears and approached the short-tentacle wand. He instantly gripped the wand in his hand and retreated in panic. In the end, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
“Stop! Everyone stop… I have Lord Haymorson’s clearance document! This young man is under Lord Haymorson’s protection!”
Just as the short-tentacle magic staff felt that his life was about to end, a middle-aged man ran in front of the group of guards, holding a goatskin scroll in his hand.
The leader of the guards took the goatskin scroll in the middle-aged man’s hand, and after confirming that the inscription on it was indeed real, he signaled the soldiers surrounding the short-tentacle magic staff to make way.
“Get Up!”The middle-aged man shouted at the short-tentacle wand.
The short-tentacle wand got up from the ground in a panic and followed the middle-aged man out of the teleportation hall.
“Father… father, what… What Happened?”
The short-tentacle wand was still in a state of panic. His voice was shaking non-stop.
“Plague.”The middle-aged man spat out two terrifying words. “Damn the people of the Frost Kingdom brought the plague here. Half of the city has been quarantined! “Carrillo, you are not allowed to tell anyone that your mother is a citizen of the Frost Kingdom. Do you understand?”
“O-okay.”
The short-tentacle wand was still in shock as he sat in his father’s magic conductor car. Along the way, he looked at the scenery outside the window.
Iron Guard City used to be a bustling commercial city, but now the streets seemed very bleak. Most of the shops had closed, and the civilians were running around in a hurry.
Guards in armor and iron masks patrolled the streets. Some poor people in worn-out clothes were caught by the guards on the streets, and unfortunately, they were immediately executed, the lucky ones were sent to the other side of the street in groups.
“How could there be a plague?”
The short-tentacle wand looked at the other side of the street through the window. In his memory, the place where the civilians should have lived had already built a high wall, and the guards sent those homeless people in.
“Who knows? Maybe God has given those greedy foxes some punishment. Lord Haymorson and the commander of the iron wrist, Ymir, are ready to work together to drive the people of the frost kingdom out of this city.”
“This… is too hasty.”
Although the short-tentacle wand did not know the specific cause, this action was no different from two countries joining forces to declare war against the Frost Kingdom.
“Calillo! Don’t say that when you get there. Lord Haymerson is not in the mood to tolerate your wrong words,”the middle-aged man warned the short-tentacle wand in a serious voice.
“I will shut up, Father.”
The short-tentacle wand looked out of the window at the bleak and desolate scenery all the way to the area controlled by the sea kingdom in the Iron Guard city.
There seemed to be more people here, but it was still filled with a sense of desolation.
It was not until the magic conductor car drove into a magnificent manor that the short-tentacle wand felt the surrounding scenery gradually turn from gray to colorful.
“Wait here!”
The middle-aged man brought the short-tentacle wand to a garden at the back of the manor. After leaving this sentence, he hurriedly walked into the manor.
At this moment, the short-tentacle wand was regretting returning to his hometown at this time. If it was Nolan, he would have been lying in bed, drinking sin cola while chatting with his friends on the magic net!
Although there was no bed or Sin Cola here, the short-tentacle wand still had the magic net!
When he bought My World Deluxe Limited Edition, he won three leaves of the world tree!
He had never told anyone about this.
The short-tentacle wand found a chair in the corner of the garden and opened the magic net to browse the latest news on the Spellcaster Forum.
“The trailer for the epoch-making game ‘World Rift’… What’s the trailer? Wait! It’s god Joshua’s new game!”
The short-tentacle wand almost screamed in excitement when he saw that the name of the game’s creator was Joshua. However, he realized that this was the territory of a great noble, so he had no choice but to cover his mouth immediately.
The short-tentacle wand held back his excitement. When he wanted to log into the magic web to watch the trailer… he heard the sound of a tree branch being crushed.
This made the short-tentacle wand immediately turn around and look behind him. He saw a little girl with long flaxen hair sitting behind him.
To be more accurate, she was sitting in a wheelchair.
The short-tentacle wand was frightened by the sudden appearance of the figure and fell to the ground again. The other person seemed to be frightened as well, but after she calmed down, she looked at the young man lying in the pile of fallen leaves with concern.
“Sorry, I just want to see what your strange magic is.”Her voice sounded a little guilty.
“Strange Magic?”The short-tentacle wand pushed up his slanted glasses. “You mean the magic net?”
“Magic Net?”The girl did not seem to understand the meaning of this word.
“Recently, in Nolan, it can be said that it has changed everyone’s way of life. If you are interested, I can introduce it to you. And my name is calillo.”
The short-tentacle wand slapped away the fallen leaves on his body and stood up. The girl in front of him had some freckles on her face, but she looked about the same age as him.
“My name is hymina.”She also told the short-tentacle wand her name.
