Chapter 457: Good Rewards
Shortly after Saul left Bluewater City, City Lord McCann was finally relieved from the aftermath.
He collapsed onto his fine reclining chair in a disengaged manner, but then suddenly remembered something and sat upright prancing.
“By the way, where did that friend of Lord Saul’s live again?”
The personal butler immediately stepped forward and bowed, “It’s at 16 Sea Shrimp Street, Lord City Lord.”
“Send two teams of people, one to vacate that small garden villa of mine on East Street; the other team to invite Sorceress Witchmaster Saul’s friends on Sea Shrimp Street and ask them to move there. Remember to be polite; Sorcerer Sorcerer may still come to visit his friends.”
However when the butler himself led the men to help Xander move, he was flatly refused. Xander only said that he had to leave Bluewater City as well, which made the butler regret it.
Xander got a very sturdy glass jar and prepared to take his sister, Midol, to the city of Kaukoust.
It was there that he would have a chance to earn more money to support his sister and possibly meet Lord Sol again.
However, his bags were all packed, and as soon as he left the house, he suddenly realized that Meadow was not in a good state, and kept rolling around in the newly purchased fish tank.
“Midol, how are you?” Xander immediately held up the fish tank and looked left and right.
However before the sphinx could tell him anything, he suddenly heard a knock on the door of his room.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
A knocking sound with a somewhat peculiar rhythm rang out.
Xander looked blankly at the door, holding his fish tank.
He remembered that his courtyard door was locked, how come someone was knocking directly on the door of the house?
And the rhythm of this knocking ……
“Knock, knock, knock!”
It was this rhythm again, there was no mistake!
The memories buried deep in his mind finally came flooding back, and fear crept up Xander’s face a little.
Then the knock on the door sounded for the third time.
Suddenly as if resigned to his fate, Xander put down the fish tank in his hand and walked to the door to open it.
He saw three people standing outside the door, one of them a much older, but still instantly recognizable face to him.
He subconsciously blocked the small fish inside with his body, “You guys, you …… I’ve been hiding for so many years, why are you still after me?”
Xander knew that when he and Mithril were able to escape, it was actually because these people didn’t really want to kill the two of them.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary person possibly escape the tracking of a sorcerer?
He thought that as long as he hid in other continents incognito and stopped appearing in a high profile, he would be able to spend his life in poverty.
Who knew that these people were still looking for him.
Could it be because he had aroused his stepmother’s alarm by taking the initiative to contact the sorcerer for his sister’s sake?
“You are mistaken.” The only old man Xander knew spoke softly, “His Majesty Axis died three months ago due to illness, but none of his children inherited the Eternal Night bloodline. That’s why we’re here to take you back for the Enthronement Ceremony, Your Highness Alyxandrah.”
Xander, or rather Alyxandrah’s mouth dropped open a little.
How can one wake up later when they are in their middle age and suddenly inherit a large amount of money, please?
Ten minutes later, the still somewhat unconscious Alyxandrah tightly wrapped her arms around her sister’s fishbowl and walked out of the cramped hut, boarding a carriage that was black in color overall, solemn and imposing.
It was not a horse that pulled the carriage, but two tall male centaurs.
Their upper bodies were clad in armor, while their lower bodies were horses with oily and smooth fur.
Centaurs were many times stronger than ordinary people in terms of strength, physique, speed, and also agility.
However, the disadvantage was that they were unruly and untamed, not easy to drive. The only ones who could really call them were probably formal sorcerers.
The other two of the three people who came to pick up Alessandra were first-order formal sorcerers.
Before getting into the car, Alyxandrah realized that the city lord of Blue Water City was actually standing on the side of the street as well, and was taking a step closer as if he wanted to talk to him.
Alyxandrah however just shook his head and refused the other party to come forward. Watching the centaurs pulling the black majestic carriage away, the Macon City Lord felt his worldview crumble a little.
The wizard friend he had known for years turned out to be not an apprentice, but a full-fledged wizard who moved against them without the slightest hesitation.
Bluewater City, which had not been visited by wizards for a long time, had three wizards appearing at the same time and fighting directly.
In the end, two of them died, and one of them was a second-order.
It was not easy to respectfully send off the last victor, thinking to make good relations with Xander, whom Saul knew. Unexpectedly, the person who was thought to be rescued, but jumped into a big person who was picked up by two sorcerer lords in a high profile.
“What can I do for Blue Water City.”
The steward at his side but sighed.
“When you sent someone to notify Mr. Xander of the change of residence before, the other party still looked grateful, but I didn’t expect that now that his identity has changed, he wouldn’t even be willing to say half a word.” The butler had served City Lord McCann for many years before he dared to say it so directly.
McKeon City Lord lowered his head and pondered for a moment but suddenly shook his head, “This matter ends here, tell the people underneath not to talk nonsense to the public as well, don’t say the reason why we asked Mr. Xander to relocate, and also don’t mention the matter of Mr. Xander and that wizard knowing each other.”
The butler froze, although he didn’t quite understand, he still nodded his head and promised.
“I’ve always sent my men to contact Mr. Xander before, and this is only the first time I’ve met with him. The other party’s appearance is not arrogant, it’s not like he’s trying to reject me.” City Lord Macon turned his head to look at the old, dilapidated little compound where Xander used to live, and thought to himself, “The only common topic between him and I is Saul. He won’t let me open my mouth because he’s afraid I’ll mention Saul’s business? It seems that the other party being picked up may not be a good thing.”
City Lord Mike finally decided to pretend that he knew nothing, so as not to get into trouble.
At this time, the black frame pulled by the centaurs had already left Blue Water City heading towards the direction of the bay.
It looked like it was preparing to take a boat out to sea.
The sphinx that Xander was holding tightly had been forced to be transferred into the hands of another sorcerer.
The other party realized upon closer inspection that it was a fish hiding a human soul. However, they didn’t refuse Xander’s request to keep this strange fish, but had to check first if there were any substances on it that were harmful to Xander’s body, and at the same time also promised that as long as this sphinx was not harmful, they would even help Xander keep it properly, ensuring that it wouldn’t die easily.
Traveling to halfway that ordinary old man suddenly turned his head, smiled and kindly asked. : “Your Highness Arizandra ……”
Xander still wasn’t quite used to this name that had been discarded for over a decade, “You can just call me Xander.”
“If that is what you wish. Then Your Highness Xander, do you remember a color pocket watch that Eternal Night VII once gave you?”
Xander’s eyelids fluttered and he pursed his lips, some embarrassment duly showing on his face.
“I’m sorry, I sold most of the valuable things on my body shortly after I came to Statt due to the necessity of making ends meet ……”
The corners of the old man’s mouth twitched, but he quickly reorganized his expression, “It’s not your fault, Your Highness Xander. Never mind, Neverwinter Nights hasn’t been able to open the Chaotic Domain Compass for hundreds of years, and now it seems that perhaps fate has sealed the deal, and it doesn’t belong to the Neverwinter Nights Empire.”
Xander still lowered his head in embarrassment, still looking somewhat apologetic and formal.
……
On the opposite direction of the same avenue as this black carriage, Saul’s smaller two-passenger carriage was happily running.
Saul, who was counting his possessions, suddenly realized that the diary in his mind automatically flipped open.
【Sol 317, June 8, Sunshine
Your acts of kindness have been rewarded with goodwill.
The world is such a strange place sometimes.
How can a good person be rewarded for good deeds?
But are you really a good person?
Maybe it’s the chaos that reveals the true colors of your heart.
Who let the key happen to be on you~]
