This place was covered in ice and snow year-round, and even the wizards' robes had fur collars around them. It looked very characteristic of the local area.
Saul and Keli disembarked from the airship and arranged with Captain Harry to pick them up in 45 days. Whether they could make the trip or not, they would pay the related fees.
Captain Harry kept bowing and saying, "No need, no need, we'll co to pick you up even without paynt."
After bidding farewell to the cautious Captain Harry, Saul and Keli walked side by side into Far North City in the far north.
Passing through Far North City's walls, they could see the gray high wall standing on the northern coastline.
That high wall looked several hundred ters tall, appearing like a huge barrier to ordinary people, separating them from the North Sea and giving them endless warmth and comfort.
Therefore, like Evernight Empire, although Far North City suffered black tide invasions every few years, the ordinary people here could still live relatively peaceful lives.
However, there were many wizards here, and ordinary people lived very cautiously, careful not to offend any wizards. But because Far North City still had many jobs that required ordinary people, and the wizards here didn't have a unified faction, a strange coexistence had ford. Check latest chapters at novel✦fire
"Hello, welco! How may I help you?"
A beautiful ordinary girl wore a well-fitted blue fur jacket with a thick fabric dress underneath. The hem reached her ankles, revealing a pair of brown leather boots.
She stood inside the inn entrance, looking at Saul and Keli with a bright and generous smile.
It reminded Saul of greeters at mid-to-high-end stores from before, except there was still a hint of caution in her smile.
"We'd like to stay here for about a month. Do you have accommodations for wizards?"
"Yes. Please follow , my lords. We have villa-style independent courtyards, as well as simple wizard towers of four floors or less..."
"Wizard towers?" Keli asked with interest. "You can build wizard towers too?"
The greeter girl answered earnestly with a full smile, "Yes, my lord. Our inn's owner is also a wizard. The wizard towers he built are equipped with simple isolation arrays and defensive arrays, with internal rooms for accommodation and laboratories. Basic instrunts and tools are prepared, and if you have special requirents, you can also commission the inn to purchase them. We guarantee you can acquire all publicly sold goods in Far North City without leaving your quarters."
"Then let's book a wizard tower?" Keli was obviously accustod to living in wizard towers. She turned to ask for Saul's opinion.
Saul naturally had no problem with it.
So the two ca to the back of the inn and selected a wizard tower at a higher position on the small mountain behind.
This wizard tower had four floors in total, and each floor's function could be arranged according to the guests' needs.
In the end, Keli took charge of the arrangents, making the third and fourth floors their living quarters, the second floor the laboratory, and the first floor the entrance hall.
The greeter girl seed sowhat surprised when she heard Keli's requirents, but she only dared to widen her eyes and didn't dare express more emotion.
Saul went to pay, and also walked around half the back mountain of the inn.
Quite a few wizards lived here, most choosing wizard towers.
While wandering the back mountain, because Saul had restrained his magical fluctuations, others who saw him didn't know he was a third-rank wizard. When they t, they basically just nodded briefly in greeting.
Wizards were mostly polite but distant with each other. Without so ti or shared experiences, it was hard to beco familiar.
Of course there were exceptions, but Saul hadn't encountered any yet.
When he returned to their temporary wizard tower, he happened to see the greeter girl coming out of the wizard tower, clutching tightly the notebook recording Keli's requirents.
"You seed sowhat surprised just now? Did you find sothing strange?" Saul stopped the girl.
The girl was startled, then her face turned slightly red, then pale. She looked sowhat uneasy, but seeing that Saul was still waiting for her answer, she said honestly, "You, you and Miss Keli chose two bedrooms but share one laboratory, so, so I was just a bit surprised."
Seeing that Saul showed no signs of anger, she took a deep breath and continued, "I've seen many wizards co together. They all share one bedroom, but the laboratories must definitely be separate... so even install protective arrays and shielding arrays between two laboratories."
Saul had thought there might be so special customs here, or that people had so particular lifestyle, but he hadn't expected this reason.
He nodded and let go of the greeter who was carefully watching him.
So other wizards can mostly sleep in the sa bed, but can't share a laboratory. Because they can have no secrets physically, but must guard against each other in magical research? Thinking this, Saul shook his head and walked into the wizard tower.
"Why are you shaking your head? Did sothing happen?" Just then Keli ca bouncing down from upstairs.
She had actually changed into local clothing—a white fur coat. The coat's hem was very wide, looking like a skirt, with loose and thick pants underneath, and brown leather boots on her feet.
She also wore a white long-pile round hat, looking like a charming noble lady.
Actually, Keli was originally a noble lady—she had almost beco a female marquis.
"Nothing, I just find the atmosphere here quite interesting." Saul stood by the stairs, waiting for Keli to co down.
"There's a clothing transformation array in the room. The prepared clothing designs are all local specialty garnts. After selecting one, it can be automatically generated—quite interesting. Do you want to try one?"
"I don't need to. I'm not very sensitive to hot and cold." Saul smiled and shook his head.
His body from inside to outside had no original organs left. Although he could clearly perceive changes in temperature, he wouldn't feel pain or comfort due to hot and cold.
His tolerance was extrely high.
Keli naturally understood Saul's feelings. In fact, she was the sa—since receiving Alpha radiation for years, her tolerance for pain had also increased greatly. Wearing sumr dresses or winter fur coats in the far north felt the sa to her.
But this didn't prevent her curiosity about new-style clothing.
"Hehe, even if you don't want to change, I want to see you change." Keli pulled Saul's arm, circled behind him, and pushed his back toward the stairs. "Change, change! I've seen you look the sa for so many years—even if you're not tired of it, I am."
Saul was helpless and let Keli push him into the third-floor room.
After entering the room, Saul saw the clothing transformation array Keli had ntioned.
Helplessly shaking his head as he walked into the array, Saul saw instructions about changing clothes and a three-dinsional holographic operation platform appear before him.
He quickly saw the clothing style Keli had chosen, with corresponding n's wear beside it, though the top wasn't as long, only reaching the thighs, and the collar also had fur. So Saul didn't spend ti selecting and directly chose the corresponding n's wear, but changed the color to black.
After changing clothes, Saul walked down the stairs and saw Keli leaning against the stair railing with a smile.
"Very handso."
Only then did Saul suddenly rember the na of this outfit set, and his steps suddenly stopped.
Just as he was about to say sothing, knocking suddenly ca from the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Excuse , does Wizard Saul live here?"
A sowhat aged and hoarse voice followed.
