Chapter 338 – Arrival
Chapter 338 Arrival
Captain Harry shook his head repeatedly, “My lord, the goods of the land traveling boats won’t be given to us to sell, they won’t sell things to ordinary people.”
Captain Harry pointed at the neck of the mannequin, “The joint technology you see here is actually an exclusive invention of the Baidong Academy. All the removable joints are so well hidden that when you walk down the street holding her hand, no one will suspect she is a mannequin.”
“Then what are her functions?”
Captain Harry immediately wore a man-knows-what expression and kept twitching his eyebrows at Saul, “To serve your every need, of course.”
The veins on Saul’s forehead jumped hard, “That I don’t need.”
If he needed it, wouldn’t it be good to find a living person? As a third level sorcerer apprentice of the Sorcerer’s Tower, even if he wanted to sleep with the princess, someone would send them up.
Captain Harry, however, did not understand Saul’s meaning, he moved slightly closer to Saul and lowered his voice, “If you need it, we also have dolls of other genders and other races here.”
“It doesn’t have a high degree of autonomy like the land traveling mannequins, but it’s well-behaved!”
Sol wasn’t impressed, and then declined the other party’s offer.
Captain Harry looked a little disappointed, but remained smiling as he escorted Sol out of the captain’s room.
A small silver butterfly appeared in Saul’s field of vision.
“Brother Saul, why don’t you buy the doll you just bought? Is it because you don’t like it? Oh~ I see, Saul likes girls like Korie, Angela, and Penny, right?”
In the corridor coming out of the captain’s room, they occasionally encountered crew members full of smiles and well-dressed travelers, but they all avoided Saul, apparently in fear of his grayish-white skin all over his body.
Saul put on a wide hood that covered half of his face.
When no one was around, Saul lowered his voice in response to Penny, “Yes, little girls are my favorite. Penny, when you grow up, will you let brother Saul eat you?”
The little butterfly was suddenly silent, it always felt that this eating was really eating in the literal sense.
After buying things, Saul did not return to the deck, but returned to the luxurious cabin that was specially vacated for him.
One of the crew members who had just chanced upon him told him that there were still two hours to go before the airships would start landing, and asked him to get ready.
Of course, that crew member was trembling as he said it. It was as if Saul was going to grab him and dismember him at any moment.
Back in the cabin, Saul removed the skin-colored glove on his own left hand, revealing the translucent palm inside.
The glove was originally black, and a magic trick had been applied so that no one could tell that Saul was wearing it.
This was only to hide the vision of Saul’s left palm.
On the skin of his palm, a miniature sorcery spell was inscribed with a golden potion.
It was an adapted version of the spell he had once inscribed on his bones.
This spell formation could slow down the dissipation of the energy of the body of consciousness, and Sol’s hands could store the body of consciousness, so he brought out Herman’s body of consciousness once again after he managed to enter the platform of consciousness with the help of the Nightmare Butterfly.
Originally, Herman’s body of consciousness had suffered the last accident and should have rested for a while longer, and the others had also expressed their willingness to become the master’s experimental body, but Herman said that he already had experience and knew how to avoid risks to the greatest extent possible, and thus took the initiative to propose to continue the experiment.
Saul considered it for a while and finally agreed to his request.
In order to bring Herman out, Saul once again went to the lakeside cabin, and with the help of the nightmare butterfly Penny, managed to enter the consciousness platform by stabilizing the fluctuation of consciousness, and stored Herman, who had already recovered with the help of the diary, into his left hand.
At the same time, he once again checked the dark room of the lakeside cabin, and there were no traces of other people moving around. The small algae doppelganger left behind also indicated that no suspicious people had approached.
Or rather no living person had approached at all.
Saul suspected that the hut had been abandoned by his original owner, he just didn’t understand why that unknown former owner didn’t destroy the spell formation in the dark room before leaving the hut.
Saul told the doppelganger left behind by Algae to remain on guard in case anyone returned.
Two hours later, Saul disembarked with his modest luggage under the eager escort of Captain Harry. The airship’s landing pad was built on the outskirts of Bluewater Bay, and to get into the city, one often had to take a carriage outside the airship station.
However, the people who take the airships are either rich or noble, and they are not poor, and most of them have special carriages waiting outside.
On the contrary, it was Saul, the most special existence on the airship, who walked out of the station only to realize that he had been thrown in the suburbs.
Although the walls of Blue Water Bay could already be seen from here, it would take an estimated half a day to walk there.
At this time, a man with a big belly and wearing a black tuxedo came over. He had round hands and a round face, and his ten thick fingers were almost covered in gemstone rings.
He rubbed his hands together somewhat nervously, and the sound that came from between his palms was not the friction of skin but the clash of metal.
“This lord, my name is Pound, a jewel merchant. Is this your first time here?”
Saul turned around.
Pound pursed his lips and slid his throat noiselessly, obviously still not used to facing Saul’s gray, corpse-like face.
“If, if you don’t mind, allow me to give you a ride in my carriage.”
Saul looked at the city walls in the distance, as well as the barren land ahead, and thought to himself, “Although I’ve already learned the art of flying, this is obviously not a good time to practice.”
“Okay, trouble.” Saul gave a slight nod to Bond.
Pound’s face was both surprised and delighted, as if he hadn’t expected Sol to be so polite to him.
And the few people watching from afar immediately revealed expressions of regret. Apparently after seeing the calm exchange between the airship captain and Saul, several people had the intention of befriending Saul.
It was only their fear of wizards that made them hesitate before acting, and they didn’t expect to be preempted by Pound.
Those few people did not come up to disturb them even though their faces showed regret.
At this point in time, they couldn’t fight anymore, or else they would lose their decency and annoy the sorcerer.
A few minutes later, Saul rode in the carriage that rich merchant Pound had specially vacated for him.
This carriage was obviously arranged in advance to pick up the rich merchant, and was extremely luxurious. Even the frame of the carriage was inlaid with gems.
Before the carriage started, Pound shrank close to the door with a still warm smile.
Saul knew he was testing himself to see if he would allow him to stay.
It just so happened that Saul also had some questions he wanted to ask him, so he acquiesced to this fat man’s attempt to try to shrink into a skinny ball.
And after the carriage started, the airship behind the crowd also lifted off again, and with its speed it soon overtook the crowd of carriages and disappeared into the blue sky and white clouds.
Calculating it out, the airship only stopped at this stop in Blue Water Bay for less than thirty minutes.
“Is it returning next or does it have another destination?” Saul asked Bond.
“Captain Harry’s airboat will head to Port Molora next and then pass through a number of smaller cities with scheduled passengers, with its final destination being Cauldron, where the Baidon Academy is located.”
“Cauldgeli?” It hadn’t really been mentioned in the basics of the wizarding world that Saul had studied, “Is that a country or a city.”
“Back to my lord, it was a huge city.” Pound’s face showed longing, “It’s a region completely controlled by the Baidon Academy, with a unique currency and independent laws, it’s not too much to say it’s a country.”
