Chapter 871: City of Dawn

While Joan was chatting with his instructor, knocks came from outside the house.
Dooer heard the movement, ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron, and cast a look of inquiry at Professor Moriarty.
Professor Moriart waved his hand.
Duoer nodded his head intentionally and turned to hide in the kitchen.
Joan saw Duo'er's at-home dress and thought, she was really not suitable to open the door to welcome guests.
Professor Moriarty went to open the door in person and invited a young man in his twenties.
This well-dressed young gentleman is Harry Kaufman, the manager of the spa hotel "Joy Palace" and the only child of Mr. David Kaufman, who made a special trip to send invitations to the professor.
Master Kauffman was tall and thin, with curly brown hair, wearing a pair of myopia glasses, Junxiu's face with a just smile, neither too intimate nor indifferent.
Joan accompanied the mentor to entertain the guests, secretly comparing Harry Kaufman with the young master he had contacted with him-such as Thomas Chap-and vaguely felt that the heir of the millionaire gave him a little impression Violation.
Harry Kaufman's appearance and manner are impeccable, his speech and manners are decent, and it seems that he is a kind of tutor who is very good in tutoring and polite.
But Joan felt that this person lacked personality and was not confident enough. It seemed that he was intentionally or unintentionally suppressing his true emotions, and the smile on his face at all times was more like a habitual disguise.
Harry Kaufman's words and deeds are not so much heirs as millionaires, but more like a servant by the dignitaries, a secretary by the big boss, a figure like a small civil servant.
In him, Joan couldn't feel the kind of pride and sharpness that the rich juniors would have more or less.
Professor Moriarty was very enthusiastic about the young Master Kauffman who was about to "happy".
When they met, they held people's hands, and claimed to be proficient in palmistry. They can walk through palm prints and predict the future of Master Kauffman.
Master Kauffman smiled a bit perfunctoryly, apparently not interested in the trick of Mr. Professor as a liar.
Professor Moriarty insisted on helping him to read palms, but also gave Joan a glance and asked him to testify to ensure that his physiognomy was absolutely reliable.
Joan was helpless, so he had to "make false testimony" with his scalp, and bragged about his conscience with a conscience.
The mentor and apprentice formed a group, which was half persuaded and partly forced, and finally forced Master Kauffman to accept Professor Moriarty's kindness and agreed to invite him to take a look at his palm.
Professor Moriarty was even more energetic, claiming to keep Master Kauffman's luck a secret, otherwise Xiangshu wouldn't work, and took him to the study room to talk.
Seeing this scene, Joanne got up and said goodbye.
Leaving Moriarty's laboratory, Joan's strange feeling hadn't dissipated.
The mentor used to talk to people and never avoided himself, but this time it was unusual, which clearly implied that he did not want to be present, otherwise there was no need to drag Harry Kaufman to the study room to talk secretly, and when he confessed, the mentor There is no retention.
Professor Moriart's abnormal behavior makes Joan deeply curious.
Instructor and Master Kauffman, what are you talking about?
As for the "look at palmistry" Yun Yun, in Joan's view, it was nothing but the "guise" of Professor Professor Fooling Master Kauffman.
Anyway, Mr. Professor is proficient in the prophecy school's spells, and it is not difficult to do divination and luck. As for whether to refer to the opponent's palm, it does not matter.
Joan turned to think that the woman who would become Master Kaufman's stepmother was the professor's ex-girlfriend.
These two people talked about the marriage of Mrs. Josephine and Mr. Kaufman, it is inevitable a little embarrassing, some words, do not want to let themselves outsiders listen, but it is reasonable.
With such a thought, Joan was relieved.
...
The "City of Dawn" Fort Daning is located in the southern part of Midgard City, about two hundred miles away. It is located in the shallow area of ​​the "Jinlunga" of the ancient abyss, about 600 yards from the ground.
This city, established by the semi-drow people, is also an important dock for trade between the surface and underground peoples.
Because the city is located outside the abyss and the terrain is low, even at noon, there is only the dim light that dawns. This environment is suitable for semi-drow.
Half drow is a half-blood descendant of humans and dark elves.
Most semi-drows hold the position, as ambiguous as their gray skins, and are willing to remain neutral between the surface world and the dark areas, and meet each other.
Semi-Zall generally has no clear sense of right and wrong, and the only thing that matters is the word "interest".
Most of them boast of being "businessmen", not only keen to deal with surface creatures, but also keep close contact with their distant relatives in the dark.
People who hate this group of mixed-race people call the semi-drow a "gray-skinned Euglosian demon" because their profit-seeking principles are almost exactly the same as those of the "scorched hell."
It is said that the half-drows of Fort Daning generally worshipped a half-god known as the "Virgin", and the priests of the half-drow could even obtain magic from the "Virgin".
Of course, these rumors have never been based on facts. The semi-drows did not want to talk openly about their beliefs or care about the beliefs of others. The most important thing was to bring them benefits.
In Fort Daning, there is a supreme law:
You can do whatever you want, but you can’t hinder the transaction.
For centuries, trade has been the lifeline of the prosperity of Fort Daning.
In the New World, Midgard, New Avalon and Andron all claim to have "the best markets in the world", but those markets are dwarfed by the market in Fort Daning.
The city’s busy market sells all kinds of goods, whether daily, ordinary, familiar, or illegal, dangerous, unbelievable...
Buyers from all over the New World often come to Ningbao to purchase the goods they need.
There are also vendors from the old world and other planes.
On any street, a person may encounter a semi-drow slaver from Fort Daning, a dwarf jeweler from Nidaville, or a devil from hell.
The lenient trade policy of Fort Daning makes it possible to provide services and goods not available elsewhere in the New World.
The most prestigious specialty of Fort Daning is a kind of alchemy medicine called "Magic Dew".
This addictive drug is a very strong hallucinogen. The raw material is said to be a cactus that grows in the southern Musberheim desert. Its seeds and flower are fermented and extracted by a special process. The prepared alkaloid solution.
After smoking "illusion", there will be strong hallucinations and hallucinations in a short time. These inexplicable hallucinations can usually last for seven or eight hours, or even up to more than twelve hours.
