"stop!"

The old man stood under the lamppost, leaning on a cane in his hand, and holding a pipe in the empty hand, and beside him stood a young girl with a lot of bags in her hands.

As he said, Donald stopped and cast his eyes on the old man, and the two felt it almost instantly.

Donald raised the corners of his mouth, and the old man's face was a little more solemn.

To be able to meet other wizards here... Yes, the old man in front of him is a wizard. The mental fluctuations in him that could not be concealed for a while because of the miserable condition of the young man cannot deceive people, and Donald is perceiving At the same time as each other, this effect is naturally mutual, and the old man obviously also perceives Donald's situation.

"It seems that my luck is not bad, find a place to chat?"

"Do you think we... have some chat?"

The smoke rising from the pipe distorted a little when the old man spoke. His eyes looked at the young man on the ground. The debris scattered in the open space between the two sides swirled in a circle, and the whirlwind rose flat on the ground.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't do this for him. If you really think about it, I saved his life before."

Donald didn't come to fight. This place is on the main road in Tallinn. Even if he wanted to fight, it would not be possible in such a place.

"Nancy, go and help Wilder, tell me what happened."

The girl ran up to help him. Donald took a few steps back and did not stop him. He had already found his goal, and this young man was useless to him.

Donald stood by and watched the young man muttering beside the old man for a while. During the period, the old man pinched his ear and turned it around twice. Seeing his grin, he couldn't bear to let go.

"I think you should understand the process of the matter. I have no malicious intentions. I found him before, but I felt that his legs were very strange. I thought he was a stranger. I just wanted to ask a few questions. Now that you are here, I Think maybe you'll know."

"What do you want to know?"

"I just arrived in Demingham recently, and I don't know any friends here, and I don't know a lot of "common sense". For example, the trading places for people like us, the city where I used to live is easy to find, but the area of ​​Demingham It's too big. Each of these islands is equivalent to a small town. I don't want to waste time. I just want to chat with someone who is familiar with this place. It is limited to some information exchange. Of course, if you can tell me More, I can pay a certain amount."

It is acceptable for Donald to spend money to buy information, and what he wants to know is indeed common sense of the heretics.

"price?"

When it comes to remuneration, the old man seems to be quite interested.

"One pound."

Since it's common sense, the offer is naturally impossible, and Donald doesn't want to be treated as a fool by the other party.

"Add 1 more."

"make a deal!"

2 gold pounds, this money Donald can still take out.

"Change to a suitable place to chat?"

"I can, as long as it's not too far from the Tallinn area. I'm not familiar with the roads around here."

Donald doesn't care where he goes.

The old man stopped a car on the side of the road and directly asked the driver to drive to the southern edge of the city in Tallinn.

Tallinn is at sea, and the outermost circle is a passage that surrounds the city. In order to prevent accidents, most of the edges are fenced, and there are many buffered flower beds and tables and chairs for pedestrians to rest.

Except for the port terminals on all sides.

The two of them stayed at the head of the bridge, and their eyes crossed the sea several hundred meters away. Donald could see that the other side of the bridge was dark, occasionally dotted with dim lights, which was not much worse than the night on this side of Tallinn.

It's a civilian area.

"Nancy, Wilder, you go home first, I have something to talk about with this gentleman."

What the old man said meant that they lived in a civilian area, and Donald, who was staring at the sea, paid attention. As a wizard, no matter what, if you wanted to earn some money to live in a better environment in Tallinn or Xialin, there should be no any questions.

So you specifically live in a civilian area?

"Are you coming back by yourself later? Why don't you let Nancy stay with you here?"

Wilder was very worried about the old man. Indeed, the old man looked white-haired on the surface. The wrinkles on his face and bags under his eyes proved that he was old. An old man of this age was walking at night and accidentally fell. something big.

Wilder's worry was of course unnecessary, but what made Donald a little curious was not the young man who had a bad attitude before caring about the old man, but the girl next to him, Nancy, with her hair drooping in front of her forehead and covering her eyes.

As a young man, Wilder actually asked her to stay to take care of the old man, which proved that he believed in Nancy's ability and believed that she could take care of the old man better than himself.

The girl was holding several bulging bags in one hand at this time. Donald glanced at the meat and vegetables, and a whole bag of potatoes, which was quite heavy, while her other hand was still holding a black Huhu chocolate kept stuffing into his mouth, looking very relaxed.

"Be obedient, go back!"

The old man glanced at Donald, who was silent, and increased his tone. Wilder stopped talking, while Nancy turned and left. Compared with Wilder, she was more obedient.

When Wilder and Nancy got on the bridge and left, the old man found a chair next to him and sat down. Donald didn't move, just turned his back against the railing by the sea, listening to the sound of the sea water hitting the rock wall behind him.

"Where's the market in Demingham? I mean the market where we guys trade."

"The sea market."

"What's the meaning?"

In Donald's mind, a large number of outcasts met and traded at sea in a boat. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong, which is too inconvenient.

"The Oswei Sea has high tides and low tides every day, and two high tides and two low tides a week, about 3 nautical miles outside of Tallinn and two northern ports facing the sea in the northern part of Summerlin. , there is a small island in the sea, it is hidden in the sea under normal circumstances, but at low tide twice every Wednesday and every Friday, it will surface for 5 hours, usually from 0:00 at night to the next morning 5 o'clock, this time period is the trading time of the Demingham heretics. In the early morning of every Wednesday and every Friday, there will be some ships parked in the two ports I mentioned, boarding the ship to pay the participation fee, it was 3 years ago. Shilling, don't know now, they will be responsible for bringing people to the island."

Speaking of which, the old man stopped talking and gave Donald, the outsider, time to digest the information.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered in this kind of trading market? After all, there are so many people in Demingham who are seeking a living at sea, and normal ships can reach them within 3 nautical miles, right?"

"The government has already divided that sea area into a government-private area, and usually prohibits any ships from entering. Once a violation is found, the fine is said to be at least 1 gold pound. In fact, the Demingham government is among the managers of this sea market. They Provide an umbrella for the normal transactions and exchanges of the heretics. As a reward, they will receive a considerable portion of the profits from the sea market every year, which is not a small amount. You must know that the annual transaction volume of the sea market is far more than The tax of the last city, but considering that all the government pays is to issue a decree and organize several ships to cruise in that sea area every day, thousands or even tens of thousands of gold pounds can be extracted from it every month... .It has to be said to be a lucrative business."

The old man has lived in Demingham for many years. He knows the situation of this sea market in great detail. Donald silently remembers it in his heart. Today is Tuesday, which means that there will be a sea market in the early morning of tomorrow. It is necessary Check it out.

beep~ beep~

There was a loud whistle on the sea in the distance. Donald turned his head and looked at it. There was a huge ship passing by on the sea in the night. Due to the great distance, even if the night was good tonight, what Donald saw was only A blurry outline.

"There is another question. I heard people say that in the religious freedom zone, the government has established a special department for heretics. Is this true?"

"Of course~lightnovelpub.net~ In other areas, there are special departments of major orthodox churches watching, the government can't control it, Demingham is all under the control of the government, ordinary civilians have a police station, and the heretics are under the control of the aliens. The Bureau of Investigation is specially managed. You can treat it as a special department of the government. It is not like a special department of the local church. It is directly under the government just like the police station. You are an outsider... In the future, if your identity If you are exposed, you may need to go to the Abnormality Bureau to do identity registration and some tests in various aspects. This is what most aliens have to experience. If your strength reaches the power level...maybe even more Be troublesome, a powerful wizard can do too much."

The destructive power of a power-level wizard is much higher than that of an ordinary power-level alien, which is why the government and major churches oppress the profession of wizards so much.

"How can I join the Discord Bureau?"

"You want to join the Variation Bureau...I should have thought of it, probably in the spring and autumn of each year, that is, in March and September, the Variation Bureau will recruit people, sign up independently, and the location will be In the sea market, you just need to pay attention to the Demingham Daily, every time you recruit people, there will be a government recruitment message in the lower right corner of the newspaper, there is no contact information, and there is no recruitment information about the registration location."

The old man didn't show much surprise. The aliens who entered the alienation bureau were equivalent to having an official identity. Not only did they not have to hide and worry about being discovered, but they could also enjoy all aspects of the government's welfare benefits.

Even if you go to other areas, you can get special treatment in many places with official documents, and people who face special departments of the church don't have to worry about being arrested by the other party to the Inquisition.
