The Iron Guard City was a city with a very strange geographical location.
It was located at the bottom of the Deep Green Basin, bordered by the Nation of Sea, the Nation of Steel on its left, and the Land of Frost on its right.
The Iron Guard City was built as a neutral city. There were rich crystal veins around the city, attracting merchants and nobles from three countries to develop it.
The initial disputes over the veins had gradually calmed down, and the city was governed by the forces represented by the three countries.
Although it seemed to be governing on the surface, disputes over land and mining rights had always been happening in the city.
Carillo … or rather, Wand of Short Tentacles was born in this city filled with chaos and order.
Wand quit his job at Golden Thread half a month ago and applied for a leave of absence from the academy. It took him half a month to travel from the capital of the Nation of Steel to the Iron Guard City at the border.
This was because he had received a letter from his family. His father told him that something big was going to happen in the Iron Guard City and asked him to bring his young brother and sister back to the Nation of Sea.
"You're from the Nation of Sea?"
The wand was being inspected in front of the Teleportation Hall of the Iron Guard City. The guards here wore strange iron masks, and the wand could feel the cold eyes behind the iron masks.
"Yes," Wand answered the guard truthfully.
After he entered the Iron Guard City, the atmosphere around him became very gloomy.
The guard once again checked the proof of identity he had handed in.
"Your mother is from the Land of Frost?"
The guard's voice suddenly became frightening, and he looked at Wand as if he was a monster.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Wand didn't understand what was going on, but the surrounding guards immediately surrounded him when they heard the news.
"Catch him!"
The guards shouted as they raised their spears and approached Wand. Wand instantly clenched the staff in his hand and retreated in panic. Finally, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Stop! Everyone stop … I have Lord Haimerson's clearance document! This young man is under Lord Haimerson's protection! "
Just as the wand thought that its life was about to end, a middle-aged man ran up to the group of guards with a sheepskin scroll in his hand.
The leader of the guards rudely took the scroll from the middle-aged man's hand. After confirming that the inscription on it was real, he signaled the soldiers around the wand to make way for him.
"Get up!" the middle-aged man yelled at the wand.
The wand frantically crawled up from the ground and followed the middle-aged man out of the teleportation hall.
"F-Father, w-what happened?"
The wand was still in a state of panic. His voice trembled as he spoke.
"Plague." The middle-aged man spat out two horrifying words, "Damn the people of the Land of Frost brought the plague here. Half of the city has been quarantined! Carillo, you are not to tell anyone that your mother is from the Land of Frost, understand? "
"Al … alright."
The wand sat in his father's magic carriage, still in a state of shock. Along the way, he looked at the scenery outside the window.
The Iron Guard City used to be a bustling commercial city, but now the streets were very desolate. Most of the shops were closed, and the civilians were running around in a hurry.
Guards in armor and iron masks patrolled the streets. Some poor people wearing shabby clothes were caught by the guards. The unlucky ones were directly executed, while the lucky ones were sent to the other side of the street in groups.
"Why is there a plague?"
The wand looked through the window at the other side of the street. In his memory, the place where the civilians lived had been built with a high wall. The guards sent the homeless people in.
"God knows. Maybe the gods are giving those greedy foxes some punishment. Lord Haimerson and Ymir, the commander of the Iron Hand, are ready to join forces to expel the people of the Land of Frost from this city."
"This … is a bit too hasty."
Although the wand didn't know the specific cause, this action was tantamount to two countries joining forces to declare war on the Land of Frost.
"Carillo! Don't say this when we get there. Lord Haimerson is not in the mood to tolerate your wrong words, "the middle-aged man warned the wand with a serious voice.
"I will shut up, father."
The wand looked at the desolate scenery outside the window all the way to the area controlled by the Kingdom of the sea in the Iron Guard City.
There seemed to be more people here, but it was still full of a sense of desolation.
It wasn't until the magic carriage drove into a magnificent manor that the wand felt the surrounding scenery gradually change from gray to color.
"Wait here!"
The middle-aged man came to a garden behind the manor with the wand. After leaving this sentence, he hurriedly walked into the manor.
At this moment, the wand regretted returning home at this time. If he was in Noland, he would already be lying in bed, drinking Sin Coke while chatting with his friends on the Weave!
Although there was no bed or Sin Coke here, the wand still had the Weave!
He won three leaves of the World Tree when he bought My World Deluxe Limited Edition!
He had never told anyone about this.
The wand found a chair in the corner of the garden and opened the Weave to browse the latest news on the spellcasters' forum.
"The trailer of the epochal game 'World Scar' … What's the trailer? Wait! God Josiah's new game! "
The wand almost screamed when he saw the name of the game's producer was Josiah. But he realized that this was the territory of a great noble, so he immediately covered his mouth.
The wand suppressed his excitement. When he wanted to log into the Weave to watch the trailer … he heard the sound of a tree branch being crushed.
This made the wand immediately look behind him. He saw a little girl with long flaxen hair sitting behind him.
More accurately, she was sitting in a wheelchair.
The wand was frightened by the sudden appearance of the figure. The girl seemed to be frightened too, but after calming down, she looked at the young man lying in the pile of leaves with concern.
"Sorry, I just wanted to see what kind of strange magic you have." Her voice sounded a little guilty.
"Strange magic?" The wand adjusted his crooked glasses. "You mean the Weave?"
"Weave?" The girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.
"Recently in Noland, it can be said to be a magic that changed everyone's way of life. If you are interested, I can introduce you. Also, my name is Carillo."
The wand patted the leaves on his body and stood up. The girl in front of him had some freckles on her face, but she seemed to be about the same age as him.
