Count of Wizards

Realizing the embarrassing situation now, Martina couldn't help but frowned. After deliberating for a while, Martina made a decision. She walked towards a middle-aged woman who was washing clothes by the side of the village road, and saw When Martina came, the middle-aged woman who was doing the laundry was also taken aback for a moment, stopped what she was doing, and looked at the approaching Martina warily, but what the middle-aged woman never expected was that, Before Martina could speak, a fivep coin was thrown at her.

The middle-aged woman was overjoyed when she received the five pence thrown by Martina. For an ordinary fisherman's family like hers, five pence is enough to buy their family's food for a day.

Looking at the middle-aged woman who was a little complacent because of the fivepence, Martina's beautiful eyes under the veil showed obvious disdain, and then she said lightly, "Where are all the good fishing boats in your village?"

The fivepence thrown out by Martina was still very effective. The middle-aged woman visibly lowered her guard against the woman with a thick veil in front of her, and said without thinking: "The fishing boats are all driven by men." Go fishing!"

Seeing that the middle-aged woman's answer was almost the same as her guess, Martina nodded slightly, and the tension in her heart eased a lot. Compared with going out to sea to fish, Martina was more worried about something like ZF expropriation, such a long time It's possible that she won't come. After all, a small fishing village like Aravis will always come back within a day when she goes fishing in the sea. Although this will delay her escape time, it will not have much impact after all!

Satisfied, Martina threw a fivepence coin at the middle-aged woman in front of her again, and then continued to ask, "How long will it take for them to come back?"

Received another fivepence from Martina, the wrinkled face of the middle-aged woman suddenly turned into a brilliant blooming chrysanthemum, swept the rising sun, thought for a while and said: " The big guy always goes out to sea to fish at four or five o'clock in the morning, and at this time, it will take at most two hours for the big guy to come back, girl, what's the matter?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's earnest inquiry, Martina hesitated for a while and said: "I have some important things to go to sea..."

"Girl, about ten kilometers to the east of our village is the Julong Wharf. Where is the Hangyuan Wharf? Passenger ships come and go every day. Where do you want to go by boat? Our place is full of fishing boats fishing offshore. A fish is okay, but it won’t work if you go far away!" Seeing the ten pence thrown by Martina, the middle-aged woman enthusiastically introduced it to Martina.

But this time Martina didn't leave her at all, turned around and left. The Dragon Wharf is the third shipping terminal in Ruen. Can Martina not know its location? If she, Martina, could go to the Dragon Wharf, would she still be in the small fishing village of Aravis?

Martina didn't need to think about it. With the energy of the Secret Society in Loen, the old Victor probably arranged for people to wait for her at several land and sea ports including the Dragon Wharf. Na can pretend to change her face, but with Martina's current physical condition, Martina feels that she doesn't have the capital to gamble and get away with it. It's safer to honestly find a boat to go to sea by herself!

As for now, Martina thinks that what she has to do is to wait quietly for two hours in the small fishing village of Aravis until all the fishing boats have returned, and then leave quietly by boat!

"Take out your citizenship certificate!" In a temporary checkpoint at the exit of Simeone Community, the middle-aged bald-headed Secretary, wearing the uniform of an officer and wearing the epaulettes of a third-level officer, was looking at him with a serious face. The one in front of him was a brown-haired young man with an ordinary face. Beside the bald-headed Secretary J were five or six soldiers armed with live ammunition and equipped with this rifle.

Facing the question from the bald boss in front of him, the brown-haired young man chuckled, stepped forward unhurriedly and explained in a low voice: "Officer J, I'm sorry, I'm here to stay at my friend's house for one night. I didn't bring my citizenship certificate, can you accommodate me?" While speaking, the brown-haired young man took out a five-shilling bill from his pocket and handed it to the serious-looking, middle-aged Secretary J in front of him. .

However, just when the brown-haired young man thought that his usual unfavorable move would be accepted by the bald boss very tacitly, a scene that surprised him happened. He took the five shillings he stretched out, then pointed to the table beside him and said coldly: "It's easy to do without your citizenship certificate, you go over there to register your identity information, and then someone will accompany you to your The residence has a citizenship certificate!"

The refusal and inhumanity of the bald-headed Secretary J immediately surprised the brown-haired young man. Seeing this, he seemed to think that the bald-headed Secretary J was complaining about the lack of money, so he continued to explain with a bitter face: "Officer J, if Let her husband know that I have been here, and I will die, and for the sake of the goddess of the storm, you let me go!" The other side also calmly took out another five shilling card from the pocket. plus the first five shillings just now, a total of ten shillings was handed over.

Hearing the meaning of the brown-haired young man's words, the old-fashioned bald boss flashed a touch of contempt, and the next act of the brown-haired young man's bribery angered him even more. One time, without showing any mercy, he directly knocked the ten gold pounds handed over by the brown-haired young man to the ground, then pointed at the brown-haired young man with his finger and yelled:

"I warn you that your behavior has violated the "Imperial Anti-Bribery Law". I can arrest you at any time! If you don't want to go to jail now, you'd better be honest with me and go over there to register your identity information!"

Hearing his boss's scolding, the soldiers beside the bald boss also looked at the brown-haired young man with unfriendly eyes, realizing that the bald boss in front of him was really upright, not because he thought he was a bribe less money

I'm afraid that if I dare to say one more word, he will definitely handcuff himself and take him to prison without hesitation. He picked up the two five-shilling banknotes that had been knocked out by the Secretary, but no one noticed that when the brown young man picked up the banknotes, a fleeting light flashed in his eyes.
