Inside Delpon, a wide road led forward, and every few dozen meters, there was a left and right fork. The square buildings of different heights extended into the distance.
There were many peddlers on both sides of the street, as well as many skinny beggars. In front of each of them was a broken pottery bowl.
Because it was early in the morning, there weren't many people on the street, but it was already quite lively.
Roland and Betta both pinched their noses the moment they came in.
Because … it was too smelly.
The street was full of excrement, human and animal. In the gutters on both sides of the street, clusters of yellow stuff that couldn't be looked at directly were floating.
Red Mountain Town wasn't very clean, but it wasn't as dirty as this.
However, it was in the style of the Middle Ages.
Roland and Betta attracted everybody's attention the moment they appeared, but most people simply moved their eyes away after a glance at them.
No one wanted to get into trouble.
Betta sensed the atmosphere too. Holding his nose, he said in a weird tone, "I feel that the people in this city are scared of nobles. The merchants outside and the residents here are all scared of me. The people in Red Mountain Town won't be so afraid of me. Some of them even talk to me. "
Roland thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Red Mountain Town is a remote town with simple people. The most powerful bigshots there are Falken and the mayor, who are both gentle elders. Naturally, the people in Red Mountain Town don't know much about the power of nobles, but it's different here. There must be a lot of bigshots in a million people. It's hard to say how many of them are grumpy. "
Betta thought for a moment and realized that it made sense. It was the same in modern cities. The bigger the city and the more densely populated it was, the more weirdos there would be. He knew that very well.
The two of them walked on the street, and the pedestrians around them subconsciously avoided them.
As they walked, they saw a pool of dirty water before them.
This pool of dirty water was huge. Not only did it occupy the entire street, but it was also very long. Neither Roland nor Betta could jump over it.
Many pedestrians, on the other hand, walked over on their tiptoes. They didn't care about the yellow and white stuff in the water. They were just ordinary people and didn't care about such things.
The nobles, on the other hand, traveled in carriages and were not too worried about this situation.
At this moment, on the third floor of the building on the right, a young man looked at Roland and Betta with great interest through the window.
"Young nobles and spellcasters I've never seen before." The young man was quite good-looking. He turned to his companions and said, "But they seem to have encountered some trouble. What do you think they will do to solve this problem?"
A few noblemen gathered at the window and looked down.
One said, "I'll take a detour."
Another said, "If it were me, I would throw some money out and let those untouchables lie on a human ladder. I would walk over them."
"Not a bad idea."
The others agreed, and the young noble who spoke just now was quite proud.
The nobleman who spoke first said, "If it were me, I would go back and hire a carriage. These two are obviously unfamiliar faces and are not our locals. If they take a detour, they might make a mistake. Moreover, using the human ladder is too high-profile and will hurt the hearts of the civilians. It will not be good for us either. "
"Hahaha, John, you're still so 'kind'."
The young noble named John chuckled. "Let's make a bet."
"What kind of bet?"
"If the two down there use the three methods we just mentioned, I'll invite everyone to be happy here for another three days."
"What if they use other methods?" someone asked.
"Then each of you has to attend my sister's birthday party the day after tomorrow."
"Hahaha, okay, no problem."
Everyone was quite happy. What John meant was that he would continue to pay for everyone to be happy for a few more days, or they could go to his sister's party. Both were good things. Either outcome was not a loss for them.
On the street below, Betta looked at the dirty water, somewhat at a loss. He scratched his head and said, "Why don't we take a detour somewhere else?"
"No need."
Roland pointed, and a cloud of cold air gushed out of his fingertip and streaked through the dirty water. Then, an ice road appeared.
This was a derivative spell of Ice Ring, and it was also a gadget that Roland had recently made. It wasn't very powerful, but he felt that if it was used properly, it could be used as Freeze, which could be used on certain special occasions.
For example, right now.
At the window on the second floor, the young nobles were all silent. In the end, it was John who laughed. "What an interesting spellcaster. This is the first time I've seen someone who squanders magic power like this. "
Betta also marveled. "Magic is so useful."
The appearance of the magic surprised the residents around, but they gradually calmed down when they saw that Roland and Betta didn't intend to hurt anyone.
Crossing the ice bridge, Roland and Betta continued on their way.
Just now, when they entered the city, they asked the city guards. The tallest, white, tower-like building in the city was the Association of Mages.
And this Magic Tower was far away at the end of the road.
Delpon was very large. The white Magic Tower seemed close, but it was actually quite a distance away.
The two of them walked for nearly half an hour before they reached the gate under the tower.
This was a square paved with blue and white tiles. There wasn't a trace of garbage, and it looked quite clean.
The Magic Tower, on the other hand, was made of pure white rock without the slightest gap, as if the rock was naturally shaped into a tower.
Also, the tower covered a large area. It probably had a radius of at least seventy meters.
Looking at the top of the tower, Roland could sense that the tower was emitting regular, hidden waves.
"Is this tower a magic creation?" Roland murmured.
At this moment, Betta suddenly said, "Brother Roland, I won't go in with you. After all, I'm not a Mage. I'm going to see if I can trigger any quests in the city! "
Frowning, Roland asked, "Then how are we going to meet?"
"On my way here, I saw a hotel named 'Lamb Girl'. I'll stay there. You can go there if you want to find me."
"Okay." Roland nodded. "This city is very large. It's not a bad choice for us to explore separately."
Betta waved to Roland and then ran away excitedly.
Looking at the gate of the Association of Mages, Roland slowly approached it.
Hardly had he reached the gate when one of the two guards stood in his way. "Sorry, but only the insiders are allowed to enter the Magic Tower. Do you have a Mage credential?"
After a brief daze, Roland smiled. "How do I get a credential?"
