Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 2: Whale, Omen of Luck (10/62)

Hundreds of meters apart, Donald still saw the behemoth appearing on the sea. Only a small part of the blue-black body of the whale appeared on the sea. After a short breath, accompanied by a strange sound of jets, a huge water column rushed from the sea. Then it turned into water droplets in the sky and returned to the sea.

"It's unbelievable, it's shocking...I've seen whales less than 3 times in the past few years, they're often out in the open water, rarely near Demingham, Mr Grant, had to Saying that your luck is really good, it's a pity that you didn't see the whales flick their tails, sorry."

The whale only appeared for about a minute and disappeared into the sea amid the cheering whistle of the surrounding cruise ships. Merlin was also excitedly honking his horn, and at the same time turned around to share his excitement with Donald.

"Whales flick their tails?"

Whether it is in his past life or this life, Donald can swim, but he has never seen the sea a few times, not to mention this kind of sea monster that he has only seen in videos in his previous life. At this moment, his forehead and nose are full of excitement. Layers of sweat.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that in our Demingham, the tail of a whale is a symbol of luck. If anyone sees it, it will be safe and smooth for the next few days, and everything will come true! Of course, even if it is just a simple look Getting to a whale is something to brag about."

Restarting the engine, the ship continued to move forward. This time, Merlin did not look back. Instead, he looked ahead and told Donald about the local customs and city conditions of Demingham.

During the time Donald was at sea, he also decided where to stay - Tallinn.

According to Merlin, the Tallinn District is mostly a college and various ordinary companies, and the business development is relatively good. Although it is not as good as Wangque District, it is enough for them, while Xialin District is more It is the resident of many entertainment industries, the most representative of which is Zhijinwei.

Yes, at first, Donald didn't understand what it meant by spending money like paper gold. Later, after various vague hints from Merlin, he realized that it was... a red light district.

This is Donald's definition of it, and the world does not have such a title.

Donald didn't come to Demingham for fun. He still has a lot of things to do. It's okay to go for a walk occasionally. If he lived nearby all day, Donald would be confident in his restraint, but he didn't need to be there all day. Test yourself, experience is not so experienced.

The ship continued to move forward, and Donald was finally able to observe Demingham, a city composed of islands, more carefully. The first stop from the station was Tallinn District and Xialin District. Island, but from this side Donald didn't see sand or bushes.

This is not a tourist city, only when you enter it will you find that the architectural styles of these two urban areas are so rough and magnificent.

The island foundation built by the combination of giant stones and steel supports surrounds the Xialin and Tallinn districts. The stone walls exposed on the sea are nearly 5 meters high. Depending on the city, even if the river is wide enough, you still have to look up a little.

Donald's eyes first saw that the mottled stone wall that had been beaten by the waves for an unknown number of years began to rise, and then he saw a series of iron guardrails. Behind these guardrails, there was a brown wall. High-rise buildings, the architectural style is very different from that of Preston City, the cornices and corridors are invisible, and the wooden structures are missing here.

Chilled lines, rough boulders and a mix of reinforced concrete, towering multi-story buildings, spires still exist and become more common.

If the city of Preston is a township, it is a representative metropolitan state of this era, with remarkable rigor and efficiency everywhere.

But you can't just think it's oppressive. In fact, this feeling will only appear when you just enter the river in the middle of the two urban areas. When Donald's eyes gradually relaxed, he quickly saw the hypothetical between the two city islands. There are steel bridges in between, as well as the concave steps in the center of the stone walls and dozens of broad stone banks that extend out. Around these stone banks laid flat on the sea, there are metal iron low columns used for ordinary ships to quickly test the ropes. The large number of ships is the best proof.

"Did you see that broad staircase? We'll stop there later. It's a port for small boats of our kind. There are many such ports in Tallinn. You're going to other islands. , If you don’t want to take a car to walk from above, taking a boat is a very good choice. I heard that the public train at sea is about to be put into trial operation soon, and you may want to try it when that time comes.”

Merlin controlled the ship to approach the rocky shore. After it stopped, he picked up the iron grommet that had been hanging on the side of the ship and locked it around the iron squat column. Donald subconsciously stood up, walked to the stern pedal first, and then walked forward. Shian, that's how he got on the boat at the ferry before.

Holding Finger in his arms and carrying a suitcase, Donald looked at the crowd in front of him, the broad rocky shore that was in contact with the sea, and walked forward suddenly.

Walking through the outstretched stone bank, stepping up the stairs one by one, there are people on both sides dressed similarly to him, and walking about three floors of stairs can really count as landing in this city.

What appeared in front of Donald was a real metropolis in this era, with wide and tidy streets, buildings of ten or twenty meters high on both sides, cars and carriages passing by on the street, pedestrians in groups of three or five, some taking There are those who walk in a hurry with a satchel or a box, and there are also those who are wired to sit on the tables and chairs behind the seaside fence, carrying tea and drinks, and looking at the sea in the distance.

Donald stood for a long time, just as he saw those unfamiliar buildings when he came out of the sewer of Preston, and now he is confused again.

He simply followed the others. Donald randomly found a few people who should know each other, and followed them into the city.

He didn't deliberately listen or watch, but walked aimlessly, with constant thoughts in his mind.

What is the most urgent thing to do?

To find a place to stay and come to this city, you must first have a place to live, and you have more than 30 gold pounds on yourself. It is estimated that buying a house here is not enough. Besides, even if you buy a house, the money will be exhausted. Other aspects How to do?

The production of the talent potion needs to be put on the agenda, the inscription notes have been read a lot on the train, and the moonlight ink also needs to be temporarily produced.

I knew I had asked the Jazz for some financial help...

"Sir, can you buy a newspaper? The good and bad things are all on it, 1 penny."

As he was walking forward, a young man with a wooden box in his hand approached him. The opened wooden box was placed on his chest, and a cloth bag was hung around his neck to share the weight. The box contained various types of newspapers.

"I want this economic newspaper,"

Donald paused, glanced around, put a penny in the wooden box, and picked up an economic newspaper.

"New mechanical work, another major invention from Lenny Machinery!"

The headline on the newspaper was accompanied by a black-and-white photo of a person standing beside a humanoid robot, thumbs up and smiling.

The content of the entire page seemed to say that the Lennie Machinery Company had invented a new type of mechanical tool or something. Donald couldn't understand it, and quickly turned the page. He bought this newspaper for the content on the back.

The Economic News often has a section devoted to job recruitment and housing rental information, both of which he currently needs.

"Introduce yourself."

Behind the table with some delicate mechanical appliances, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses held an evaluation form and looked at the candidate.

"My name is Donald Grant, I'm from Preston, North Harkshire, and I graduated from college half a year ago."

Donald was sitting in a chair, Finger walked back and forth between his legs, yes, he was here to apply for a job, and his goal was the Royal DeLorean University in Tallinn.

Don't get me wrong, he is not arrogant enough to think that he is qualified to be a teacher, just a job as a teaching assistant.

The newspaper said that the job included room and board, and the working hours were very free. He was also working in a university, so it would be much easier to look up anything he wanted. He was tempted.

"North Harkshire, Preston City... If I remember correctly~lightnovelpub.net~ it should be the Diocese of Justice? What course did you study at university?"

"Religious Studies."

"Religious Studies?"

The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Donald thought to himself that it would be over. He knew that he should talk about his speciality.

This is a religious free zone and is under the control of the empire. Although religion exists, it has nothing to do with the university. Royal DeLorean is a university that cultivates talents for the empire. Although a teaching assistant is equal to the task of doing chores around the professor, but a People from religious studies are likely to have some ideological problems in the eyes of the other party.

As expected, the other party quickly dismissed him with a few words. Donald's emotions were not lost. This was just an attempt. In fact, he didn't quite believe that he could succeed. If he were judged by the standard above and not counting demon knowledge, he might not be able to match even those young people who had just entered the university.

"Finger, go to lunch, this is an island at sea, there must be a lot of seafood... Don't eat indiscriminately!"

Donald was also about to go to a seafood dinner, and when he turned around, he saw Finger beside him as if he had thrown something down, probably a flying insect such as a butterfly, and hurried over.

Meow~

Finger still listened to Donald's words, obediently spit out what was in his mouth, it was a small metal ball.

"what is this?"

The small ball in his hand is hollowed out, and there is a small white ball inside. The workmanship is quite delicate. It may have been thrown by someone else. Donald looked around and wanted to find a place to throw it.

Just as he was about to shoot, the small ball inside suddenly began to vibrate violently...
