The night passed quickly.
When Søren saw Gloria again, he found that there was another strand of silver hair on her head, which made him feel a little guilty. Prophecy spells came with a price, especially when it came to predicting Vivian's location. The price was even greater. After all, Vivian's identity was the Child of Fear, and the price of prophesying her was probably comparable to the fate of a king. Søren's heart was full of gratitude, and this was the first time he felt that he owed someone so much.
"South. Mountains. Near the sea. "
Gloria's expression was still so calm and indifferent. She quietly looked at Søren and slowly said, "The last card is a snake. I don't know what it means, but it must be related to the whereabouts of Vivian."
The snake represented a lot.
The complicated meaning was difficult to infer in a short time. In some beliefs, the snake represented wisdom, but it could also mean something else. Even if Gloria was a northern witch who was proficient in divination, it was difficult to predict anything clearly. The legendary prophecy spell could only make a rough prediction, and this was the same even if it was cast by the gods. Otherwise, the believers of Fear would have found Vivian long ago and wouldn't have waited for Søren to take her away from Amber City.
Søren bowed slightly again, then turned and walked out of the Wizard Tower.
Now that there was a clue, it was much easier than searching aimlessly. At least it wouldn't be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, he had traveled the whole continent and even went to the outer islands several times. In his memory, there were not many places where he could connect the south, the mountains, and the sea. It was very likely to be near a city near the sea. The last card representing the 'snake' was the key to finding Vivian, and Søren didn't know what it meant.
Søren left.
He was not a person who was good at communicating with words, and he didn't know what he should say.
He was grateful to Gloria and was willing to repay her, but he was still too weak.
Even if he was promoted to Grade 3 in a month, he was still very weak in front of Gloria. He couldn't compare with the Northern Witch in terms of wealth, and he wasn't as strong as Gloria, so there was almost no way he could repay her. The only thing Søren could do was to remember all of this in his heart and wait until the day he was strong enough to repay her for her help today.
Gloria didn't go with them.
She stood at the top of the tower and silently watched Søren leave. She then reached out her hand and touched her heart. The wound there had not yet healed. The appearance of the Hand of Despair had strengthened her determination to reach the realm of legends. She was now moving towards the realm of legends. In fact, she had divined more than once last night. She had also divined something else. The prophecy told her that Søren would find Vivian because their fates were intertwined.
The Northern Witch's silver hair fluttered in the wind, and her face was still so beautiful. She looked into the distance and murmured, "Søren! … I'm afraid you're also a Son of God! … But whose bloodline did you inherit? … "
Promoted to Grade 3 in a month.
This was something Gloria didn't even dare to think about. She was sure that Søren had some kind of power.
The beautiful woman stood in front of the window. When Søren left, she had already felt it. She looked at the back of the gradually disappearing figure and whispered, "Who is he? His half-brother and half-sister are both Sons of God! … Is his mother also a descendant of God?! … "
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as if she was thinking about something.
…
The City of Wealth.
There was an endless stream of caravans going in and out of the city. Merchants with rich faces could be seen bargaining everywhere. From time to time, they would even say 'Oh, Goddess of Wealth' and then ask the other party to lower the price a little bit more. This was the center of the southern coastal trade. The opened canal connected the inland, and the geographical location near the Soros Islands was convenient for shipping. This was the city with the most developed trade. It was also the place that the Goddess of Wealth paid attention to. There was the largest Temple of Wealth here, and every transaction was worth thousands of Kindler coins.
The merchants were all believers of the Goddess of Wealth.
This city was so rich that even the buildings liked to be painted with golden paint. Of course, it wasn't really gilding, but just a kind of paint that looked golden after being painted. The over-developed trade also stimulated all kinds of dark depravity and the pursuit of pleasure. This was also the place where the Goddess of Pleasure developed her believers. Whether it was a luxurious banquet or a variety of unique enjoyment, as long as you could afford it, the priests of the Goddess of Pleasure would prepare it for you. They could even invite the priests of the Goddess of Love to attend.
While this city maintained its prosperity, it was also full of all kinds of evil situations. Countless eyes looking for wealth were cast here.
Even with the power of the Temple to maintain the balance, the sewers here never lacked corpses.
Copper Kettle Tavern.
The hustle and bustle here almost alerted the guards outside. A large group of drunkards, tourists, and adventurers laughed loudly as they looked at the halfling standing on the table in front of them. From time to time, they would shout for another round of singing. Next to him, there was a depressed bard. Almost no one ordered his pitiful songs anymore. Everyone's attention was attracted by the drunken Halfling. Although he seemed to be completely drunk, there was a guy who wanted to take the money bag from him, and he was directly knocked down by him.
This skill made many people exclaim. The adventurers next to him also looked at each other and evaluated each other's strength.
Skillful Rogues were very popular everywhere. There were always such people on the adventure journey.
Aladdin held a wine glass that was bigger than his face and raised it high. After taking a sip, he burped and said, "The situation at that time was very dangerous! … A total of five ten feet tall Earth Elementals surrounded us! … Its arm was thicker than the pillar! … … With a punch, the ground would be a pit! … … If I was careless and was touched by them! … … It was possible to meet the Grim Reaper directly! … … "
"But fortunately, I had a companion with good skills! … Although his skills were still a little worse than mine! … … But he still helped me pin down two enemies! The situation at that time was really dangerous! … I fought back alone under the encirclement of three Earth Elementals! … If it weren't for my short stature, I would have been naturally agile! … It would have been impossible to avoid their attacks! … … "
"But I still had to take care of my companion who was a little worse than me! … Goddess of Wealth above! … I almost thought I was going to die here! … … "
What followed was a thrilling process. How the brave and powerful halfling Aladdin defeated five Earth Elementals in an absolutely inferior situation, and at the same time saved his companion who was a little worse than him. The other guests in the tavern clearly knew that he was bragging, but they couldn't resist this guy's eloquence. The tone of the story was full of suspense, and from time to time, he could imitate the situation at that time. It was really very immersive.
After being treated to three drinks in a row, Aladdin finally finished telling this wonderful adventure story.
He wisely defeated a large group of Earth Elementals, and at the critical moment, he took his companion who was a little worse than him and used the gap in the valley to avoid the awakening Earth Giant.
After completing his daily bragging routine, Aladdin walked out of the Copper Kettle Tavern with a swagger.
At this moment, he was a little different from before. The clothes he was wearing were much more exquisite, and there were also some scattered decorations. It seemed that after selling the gemstones, his wealth had increased a lot. After he walked out of the tavern, he took a detour to a small alley, untied his belt to pee, and a money bag appeared in his hand. He obviously had a drunken look, but he weighed it with a smile on his face, and said, "Today's harvest is not bad! I didn't spend any money on drinking, and I even made a fortune from a fool. "
"Ah! … Sure enough, the South is better! … The weather is warm and the sun is bright! … It's much easier to make money! … "
Aladdin shook a little, put away the money bag, and then turned around and walked towards the place where he lived.
He still had a drunken look, and from time to time, people would greet him. It seemed that he was doing well these days, and he had a little reputation in the neighborhood.
All of a sudden.
He seemed to have seen something, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He shook his head, raised his hand to rub the corner of his eyes, and then murmured, "Am I seeing things?"
"Why did I just see Vivian?! … An illusion! It must be an illusion! … She went to the North with Søren! … "
"It seems that I'm really drunk! Haha! "
