Mysterious journey

Before becoming a duke, Grand Duke Gothic spent some time in the vanguard camp and traveled out from time to time. He was the third son of the family. However, after the war broke out, his father and two brothers were killed one after another. He took over the heavy responsibility and changed the situation of the war in one fell swoop. , erupting with astonishing terrifying power. After encountering a series of betrayals and turmoil, he became even more heartbroken.

But before that, Goethe himself was a simple and friendly ordinary young man.

Garen still remembered that before the war, Grand Duke Gothic himself was a top genius with secret talents. Behind it is a large collection of books and totems collected by the family for thousands of years. But because he was not taken seriously in the family, no one tried to curry favor with him. In addition, his talent was secret and no one noticed it, so he had time to slowly accumulate it.

Among the people around him, only the two companions who met him by chance and traveled together on adventures entered his heart early and became his only close friends until the end.

"In other words, Goethe is still in the lowest period of his life. This person has clear grievances. If I make friends with him at this time, I should be able to gain his trust more easily." Garen narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.

"Although I don't think highly of people with simple and kind minds, it is undeniable that no one would not like to make friends with such people. Such friends do not need to be on guard all the time."

He took out the map and began to carefully search for the location of Titan City.

Going abroad from the Kuwaitan Empire, passing through three cities, you need to take a steam train, and finally reach Titan City, one of the main cities of the Lavis Empire.

He roughly calculated the distance and found that it would take at least four days of non-stop travel.

"Currently, Goth is probably not taken seriously by the people around him because his talent is not noticed and his ranking is too low. However, how to approach him when he is on the ground cannot be discovered deliberately. This needs to be carefully arranged."

Garen put away the map and counted all the cloth on his body, his face suddenly darkened.

"I may not have enough money. The travel expenses to get there are enough, but I don't have much leftover for living expenses, so I have to find a way to make money."

He frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

"Goth has been working as a hired totem master before he took over. Now I can't even beat an ordinary totem master, so there's no need to think about it. But the totems need to be repaired. Maybe I can try to take on some such jobs. On the one hand, I can exercise On the one hand, my practical ability will allow me to use this identity to get closer to Goethe and others."

He made up his mind and after sorting out his thoughts, he lay down and turned off the lights to sleep.

Early the next morning, Galen came to the repair shop at the night market early and went in to inquire about the specific repair costs. As expected, repairing a totem requires a large sum of money, often several thousand a time, and it also depends on the scope and severity of the repair. The tall ones are even more expensive than the totem itself.

But unfortunately, repairing totems also requires a unit factory. Not only does Garonne not have a unit factory, but it is also blind to the common types of totems on the market and cannot understand anything.

In desperation, I had to leave temporarily.

After buying the departure ticket, Garen simply set off, thinking about maintenance methods in this area along the way.

After leaving Baidi Gascar, he spent two days and changed trains several times before finally leaving the Green Forest border and entering Hana Province. Without any further delay, I bought a train ticket from the capital of Hana Province to Gravel City.

Gravel City is not far from Iron City and is a large trading city. It is a port city in the Lavis Empire and is very developed.

The train takes two or three days to arrive.

Galen bought a berth and some food and drink, but he only had a dozen silver wheel cloths left on him and he didn't dare to spend any more.

After two days and five hours, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Gravel City.

By the time we transferred from Gravel City to Titan City, it was almost dawn.

During this period of time, Garen also completely figured out how to improve his totem. If he used potential points to forcibly upgrade his totem, two conditions were required.

1: I don’t know about other departments, but the stronger the foundation of a totem, the more potential points it needs. The fluorescent butterfly requires five potential points. And the rest don’t know what is needed yet.

Two: Potential improvement requires a certain amount of time for change, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Just like the situation when he just traveled through time, he had to slowly adapt to it.

Garen did not immediately upgrade the fluorescent butterfly. He did not dare to use it randomly before finding a new source of potential. As the level of strength becomes higher and higher, the cost of potential points is also getting higher and higher. Once these potentials are used up, an opportunity for possible improvement will be lost later.

*********************

The early morning sunlight shines in from the window of the silver-patterned building, and there are faintly floating dust in the golden light pillars.

On the second floor of the small building, a handsome harpist sang funny clown tunes, and a group of people sat around, making them laugh from time to time.

The empty second floor is covered with black wooden boards and various totem patterns and oil paintings are hung around it. At the counter, an old man with a white beard was quickly wiping the dust on the counter, and then placing bottles of drinks similar to wine on them.

In the corner of the second floor, there were also a few guests who didn't like the noise, sitting quietly in their seats and eating their breakfast quietly.

Galleon is one of them.

He was dressed in black robes and looked like a monk. He sat quietly in his seat and ate his cheesecake and coffee set.

The Silver Stripe Building is located on the driveway outside Titan City. It is one of the favorite pastimes of the hired totemists, and it is also the favorite place of the future Grand Duke Goth.

Goethe and his two friends first met here, on the second floor of this small building. It was an accident. There was a verbal conflict between two tables of guests. The two stepped forward to break up the fight, but were injured instead. Goth was also affected, and then a melee began. You punch me and you kick me, but no one actually uses the totem. But because of this opportunity, the two people who broke up the fight took a new look at Goethe and invited him to join the mission team, thus forming three future close friends.

It has been more than half a month since Garen arrived here. He was about to run out of money, so he had no choice but to find a job assembling units in a night market totem repair shop. His master-level precision drawing was just a step ahead in assembling units, although it was not completely exposed. But the superb efficiency has also been appreciated by the shop owner.

It's just that the salary has to wait until the end of the month, so he is still broke now.

He vaguely remembered that it was here that the three Goths met, Goethe, Jessica, and Andy. The three of them may not really know each other yet, but they will soon.

The main reason why Garen chose to come to Titan City was because he had this opportunity to intervene. The other two heroes were either early or late, and the timing was not quite right. Only Goethe's side is the closest.

However, despite this, he had been guarding the Silver Stripe Building for more than half a month without any movement, and he still felt a little impatient.

Time is running out for Garen now.

In more than a month, the war will break out, and by then, the entire war will gradually spread to all parts of the world. There will be more and more jobs for hiring totem masters, and Goth's strength will also increase by leaps and bounds during this time. They also formed a deep friendship with each other.

"It can't be because of the butterfly effect. I changed the place." Garen took a sip of coffee and slightly suppressed his uneasy mood.

I have been squatting every day, but there is no result at all, and I have no clue about finding new sources of potential points. The crisis is getting closer and closer, and the time is getting closer and closer. Even Garen no longer has the calmness and calmness he once had.

Thump thump thump.

Suddenly, a group of strong men in strange clothes came up to the stairs again. They looked like street gangsters in priest robes, but the silver four-pointed stars on their shoulders showed their identity as hired totem masters.

The group sat down not far from Garen. I shouted for some cheese bread and a bucket of goat's milk wine, and started eating and drinking carelessly.

After a while, another young woman in white robe came up, wearing a white veil, with a slim figure and slightly rough skin, but it could not hide her youthful and energetic body curves.

Suddenly, the men who had drunk some wine earlier began to whistle.

The woman in white robe sat in a corner, ignoring the sounds around her, just ordered a cup of coffee and drank it quietly.

Soon, a group of men and women in white robes followed. The leader, a young man with a noble air, frowned at this scene.

"What the hell! A bunch of uneducated country bumpkins!"

boom!

One of the gangster totem masters suddenly rushed up.

"*Damn it! You fucking said it earlier!?"

"Idiot!" The noble man glanced at the other party with disdain, "No wonder you get into heat when you see a woman. Look at your virtues. Tsk tsk..."

"What a fool!" "Looking for death!"

The voices of cursing and cursing suddenly became mixed, and all the gangster totem masters suddenly became angry. They stood up and walked towards the group of people in white robes.

Not to be outdone, Baipao and the others took the initiative to disperse and rush forward with a faint flash of silver light on their bodies.

"I'm going to beat you until your parents don't recognize you!" "Kill them! I'll be responsible for anything that happens!" "You actually dare to be disrespectful to Sister Angela!"

A group of people in white robes seemed to be familiar with the road and were experienced fighters. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Both sides are totem masters. This kind of fight basically depends on whose protective totem light is strong enough. Mortals cannot see the collision, but the silver lantern master can clearly see the strength of both sides after the collision.

Garen sat aside, his heart moved slightly when he saw this scene.

There are city guards patrolling near here. Silver Lantern Masters are not allowed to release the totem power indiscriminately, otherwise it will violate the criminal law. This is an iron law and no one is allowed to violate it. Therefore, these totem masters do it themselves instead of releasing totems to fight. To avoid expanding the scale.

The two groups of people quickly became one with each other, and there was no difference between you and me.

"Stop it, stop it." The old man at the counter shouted to persuade him, but no one listened to him.

One side of these two groups of people are obviously noble children, and the other side are wandering totem masters. No one is afraid of trouble. There was a loud bang and a lot of tables and chairs were broken.

The singing harpist and some of the fearful guests hurried downstairs.
