Chapter 518 (1/2)
The capital of the clock tower, mozwa.
Although it is already deep winter, there is no snow in the city near the sea, and the sky is still gray. I don't know whether the smoke obscures the sky or the sunlight is dim in winter.
Most of the people in the street are in coats. Many of them are mages and alchemists of magic sequence. Some of them are workers of workshops in the city. Among them are calculators, clerical typists, warehouse dispatchers, repair technicians, postmen and so on.
Mozwa, the former capital of ruhrna, is more like a renaissance city than any other part of the world. But different from advocating the humanities, there are really extraordinary magic and all kinds of magical alchemy.
Giant airships flying in the sky, heavy locomotives on the streets, hollow lines in shops, the swiping sound of typewriters in roadside shops, and the mechanical blunders and swords carried by patrolmen all show a very different style from the previous earth civilization.
On a street near the edge of the city, a man in a top hat and a black windbreaker walked by quietly. His boots stepped in the shallow puddle, splashing slightly and echoing in the alley.
He turned a few corners and came to a cafe.
The front door of the cafe is a revolving hard metal door, but it is inlaid with large glass in the middle, and its frame is painted with black paint. It looks a bit artistic, which makes it more in line with the temperament of the shop.
The man in black took out a small dark gold card face from his pocket and put it in the groove on the wall beside the gate. A flash of magic flowed into the groove along with the complex pattern of the card face. The gate also made a soft sound, and then the man in black pushed the door in.
Unlike ordinary cafes, they only serve members, so there are very few guests. After the man in black walked in, there were only three people sitting at two tables. Two of them are talking in a low voice. Don't worry about this. The man in black goes straight to the other table where someone is waiting.
”Here you are.” Sitting at the mahogany table was a well-dressed man with a white silk scarf on his collar, which was fastened by metal buttons. He was looking at the guest entering the cafe.
”Well.” The man in black gave a short answer and sat opposite.
He took off his hat, shook off a little of the water, and put it aside, revealing the long gray hair under his hat. TA's face looks like a man and a woman. At first glance, it is very beautiful. If you get along with her for a long time, you will unconsciously ignore her.
”The adults are very satisfied with you during this trip to the south, and even the two Highnesses praise your achievements“
”Well.” He responded briefly, as if he didn't care about this kind of evaluation.
”A new mission has come down, this time to the holy mountain of kalenrill in the north.”
”What's the matter?”
”To help bishop HIBIS become Pope, he doesn't like clancia.”
”Is that all?”
”Yes.” After thinking for a few seconds, the man continued.
”Don't expose yourself. Even if you expose yourself, you should make people feel that we didn't do it.”
”I know.” The grey haired man in black nodded.
The man on the opposite side looked at a man in black with grey hair who didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.
”Don't you need any help?”
”Maybe.” He didn't care.
”Oh, although you are very confident, the organization also knows that this task is not easy, here is a backup means.”
”If it doesn't work, just kill the other competitors.”
