Chapter 270

The streets werethe main road paved with flat stones and entered a relatively quiet restaurant to have a late breakfast Calto Serbel was discussing so table and filled their stomachs with hot stew The conversation sounded like they were talking about the schedule of their expedition

“The plan was for the Holy Knights to arrive before us and serve as our guides, but due to the winds we arrived a week earlier than expected It seehts arrive”

After discussing it for a long ti table “First, the plan is to head to Anatol’s cathedral and meet with the priests The church will help provide a place for us to stay”

“How are we going to get to Anatol? I heard that the journey would take an hour from the port here to the center of Anatol” A skinny senior wizard named Ben asked in a polite manner

Calto turned his head toward hi sooods to Anatol The place is not so far away, and the route is relatively safe, but it would still be better to travel with escorts if possible”

Max listened to the conversation, but their voices were entering one ear and leaving the other, then she looked out theand into the street Several wagons full of goods were endlessly co in and out It could be clearly seen that the taxes and tolls alone for such trades would generate a huge amount of revenue She was completely amazed by what Riftan had accomplished in such a short period of ti empty because of the fact that she wasn’t by his side to support hi so astonishi+ng It would have been wonderful to witness this place grow and prosper with her oo eyes

Max shredded chunks of meat from her stew and fed bits of it to Roy, as she watched people walking on the streets They were all well-dressed and had good complexions It see abundantly

“Max, look over there!”

While she was preoccupied atching the people on the streets, Sidina, as frantically eating next to her, suddenly stabbed her side with a finger Max turned her head and gave her a questioning look

Sidina whispered loudly into her ear “Over there! There’s a very handsome man”

Max narrowed her eyes at Sidina, then turned to look at the direction she was pointing at A sli the inn with two men of sturdy physique Max’s eyes widened As her friend had observed, the reat beauty, his neatly tied silver hair and elaborate features were so beautiful that he could easily take a spot on being engraved on the hall pillars of the great telow but his cold, expressionless eyes looked ruthless

“He looks like a noble ht from Anatol?”

Sidina whispered softly into Max’s ear She was about to tell her that there was no such person within the Reht ask how she knew that, so Max kept her mouth shut

The man clearly did not appear like a coant clothes and was lightly arht that he could be a newaround the restaurant, spoke in a low voice

“I have heard from the city supervisor that there izards from the World Toho have arrived Would you spare us a moment of conversation?”

“Whatfor us?” Calto turned towards the youngman approached hiht who serves Lord Calypse I have been asked by Anatol’s head priest to treat the guests from the World Toith utmost hospitality”

He paused for a h the people around the table with an extreant look Max doubted her ears as she stared blankly at hi table, hidden behind a pillar, so he didn’t seem to have seen her

Yulysion then turned his head back to Calto and continued in a dull tone “I see that the group has arrived earlier than expected Now, everyone, get up fro you to Calypse Castle”

“I appreciate the offer, but I should decline” Calto resolutely shook his head “There is no need for us to be indebted to Calypse Castle The church has promised to provide us support, we shall head to the cathedral”

“There isn’t enough accommodation in Anatol’s Cathedral to serve you The cathedral has begun its expansion recently so even the priests who are living there are staying in Calypse Castle as well” As if he was a little offended by Calto’s rejection, he spoke with his forehead creased “There is one lodging for guests on the cathedral grounds, but it is extreathered there for alms Most of the inns are also full as it is the tioods”

Calto looked around the wizards with a face full of thought He seemed reluctant to let them stay at Calypse Castle, but also concerned that he shouldn’t let the wizards have no place to stay after a long voyage After a ed his shoulders as if he had no intention of persistently persuading Calto to stay at Calypse Castle

“It’s alright if you really don’t intend to I’ll leave a word to the gatekeeper, if you ever change your mind, you are welcome to come to the castle Well then, I have a lot of work to do, I must now take my lea-…”

TheMax could clearly see hi her, with his body towards the direction she was sitting His vivid purple eyes sparkled in the pale winter sunlight that seeped through theMax, as still confused even after hearing his name, murmured with a shocked expression
