032 The twenty-third secret meeting
Today is the 15th day of Qingyue in the 319th year of Bing Yuan.
Jiangxi Lin got up early, put on the same clothes he used to attend secret gatherings, and hid the mask in his inner pocket.
The venue for today’s rally was the Water Tower at No. 33 Water Tower Square.
Jiangxi Lin often goes to Water Tower Square. Laird, a hard-core punk man who calls himself a master craftsman, has his blacksmith shop there, and he makes a lot of money from Jiang Xilin.
…
In the distance, water towers stand on the ground, like big mushrooms.
The history of these water towers can be traced back to before the Ice Age. At that time, the world was not as cold as it is now. The water towers here were also responsible for providing water to several surrounding towns every day.
The water towers were abandoned after the severe winter arrived. The long-term severe cold caused the water in the water towers to condense into ice and could no longer flow naturally, so people gradually gave up on these water towers.
However, the water supply pipes of the water tower were not abandoned. Instead, they were transformed by later generations and became the intricate underground sewer system in Dongting City today.
Today's Shuita Square has become one of the districts of Dongting City. The layout of the houses here is very different from other districts.
Almost all the houses here are built around water towers. Each tall water tower is like an independent ecological community, and all water tower communities form the ecological system of Water Tower Square.
Apart from the number, Water Tower No. 33 is actually no different from other water towers.
Jiangxi Lin calmly walked around the No. 33 water tower and counted a total of seven buildings here, including a simple tavern and two recycling stations.
According to the information on this invitation letter, the entrance is undoubtedly at this tavern.
"Tsk, there is something about this school of light and arcane magic."
Jiangxi Lin was secretly speechless.
Anyway, it gave him the feeling that it was much more powerful than the Citro Science Society. At least from the three secret gatherings he attended, the addresses given by people were different each time, it can be seen how cautious the Light Arcana School is.
, far beyond the Citroen Science Society.
Of course, it does not rule out that he has little contact with the Citro Science Society and his perception is relatively one-sided.
Jiang Xilin put away his unnecessary emotions, turned around and walked to a secluded corner, put on his mask, and then strode towards the door of the simple tavern.
Before I even stepped through the door, my nose was itched by the strong, inferior fake wine blended with alchemical alcohol in the tavern.
I wanted to rub my nose, but when I raised my hand halfway, I remembered that I was wearing a mask, so I had to give up.
Entering the gate, you will see seven or eight dark red cast iron tables randomly placed in the narrow and cramped lobby.
Three or five drunkards were sitting in a corner of the lobby, drinking the overpriced wine and discussing which of the women in the red gallery was more wild and tasteful.
It was the morning, the busiest time of the day, so any drunkard hanging out in the pub at this time was 100% not a good person.
When they saw Jiang Xilin in a strange costume walking in, they unconsciously stopped talking and laughing, and turned to look at him curiously, as if they were looking to see if he was a fat sheep or a fat wolf.
Jiang Xilin didn't care much about this, but he was a little regretful that the Citro Science Society was not strong enough and lay down too early, causing these three or five figures to lose their due value.
"Hey, friend, what do you want for a drink?"
The hotel owner asked Jiang Xilin who walked in,
"25, 40, or 68?"
These three numbers represent the concentration of alcohol after blending.
Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, but walked directly to the counter, took out the invitation letter to the secret gathering, and handed it over.
The tavern owner took it, opened it and took a look, and then took out a key with a metal number from under the counter.
"Second floor, fourth room on the left."
Jiang Xilin took the key and turned towards the spiral staircase without saying anything.
It wasn't until Jiang Xilin's back disappeared around the corner on the second floor that the drunkards in the store came to the bar counter in groups.
"Ladd, hiccup, that guy..."
A middle-aged lazy man with rosacea, whose skin was as rough as sandpaper and whose beard was curly and unkempt, burped in wine and pouted in the direction of the spiral staircase.
"Old Bill, I'm warning you, he's not your type. Don't be so bloated that you don't know your weight."
"Ladd, don't worry, we have been cooperating for more than a year or two. You have already said that I will get this job. How can I not wake up?"
"Huh, it's best if you wake up. I'm afraid you'll pretend to be confused like last time."
The tavern owner Ladd snorted coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't find any other partners, how could these few unruly parasites lying on their bodies survive until now?
He should have been slapped to death by the palm of his hand and thrown into the corpse pool.
…
Jiang Xilin found the door the tavern owner was talking about. When he opened it, it was not a room, but directly entered the inside of the water tower.
I don’t know what kind of binding material was used for the stone water tower. Three or four centuries later, it is still strong and strong.
From the iron gate at the entrance downwards, the "shoe" believers of the Bright Arcane School used steel to build a spiral plank road along the inner wall of the water tower that leads directly to the bottom of the water tower.
Jiang Xilin walked down the stairs along the plank road and soon reached the bottom of the water tower.
Passing through the widened water supply pipe at the bottom, you enter the complex sewer system of Dongting City.
The path to the secret assembly hall had already been marked, and Jiang Xilin only had to follow the marks.
After turning left and right for a while, Jiang Xilin walked into the sewer with the luminous quartz rod inserted.
Jiangxi Lin silently counted his steps and remembered the time.
Later, he will try to get a map of Zhang Dongting City. Based on the locations given by these three secret gatherings and the distance measured by his own steps, he has a high probability of finding the approximate location of the secret gathering hall of the Bright Arcane School.
By mastering the location of the secret meeting hall, you have half the initiative, and you also have the bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Kingdom's Night Knights.
Soon, Jiangxi Lin passed the various inspections with ease and entered the splendid and solemn hall again.
This time he was not the first to arrive. Laird, a hard-core man who plays iron every day, arrived before him.
Seeing Jiang Xilin come in, he followed Jiang Xilin with fanatical eyes, almost sticking his eyes to Jiang Xilin.
Huang Ying, a girl who said, "Tolerance means greatness" also looked at Jiangxi Lin curiously.
At the end of the last meeting, I remember he said that he would consider joining the Light Arcane School. I don’t know how he is doing now.
Jiang Xilin seemed quite calm and had no intention of communicating with anyone after sitting down.
As time passed, mysterious participants gradually arrived.
Finally, the gentleman who was presiding over the assembly gently clapped his hands and announced loudly:
Chapter completed!
