Breeding Dragons From Today
chapter-143

"The harbor is just ahead."

Joelson threw out a heavy black cloth bag, and Lucas caught it.

The heavy bag almost crushed her small body, but when she saw the shiny gold inside, she suddenly became happy again.

"I wish you a smooth journey, my respected mage, Sir Joelson."

Lucas added, "If you still wish to take the Lucas back in the future, remember to wait at this port in February and August every year. I hope you can still see me when the time comes."

Joelson formally bid farewell to Lucas and her group. They would rest at the port for a few days, prepare enough water and food, and then immediately return to the southern region.

"Lord Joelson, if you are free, you can go to Gecca's Tavern in the port city. There is a warm-hearted old man there who likes to give good advice to the adventurers who have just arrived in the central continent. Of course, there is a fee."

Lucas gave Joelson one last suggestion and left in a hurry.

At this time, Joelson had already changed out of his mage robe and put on a beautiful and suitable noble shirt. He looked like a young noble who had just sneaked out of his home.

The port here was much more prosperous than the town of Lucas.

The latter was just a dilapidated town, but the former had a magnificent city wall and was a wealthy port city.

Joelson spent a few copper coins to have a thin man with a greasy face bring him to the GECCA tavern that Lucas had mentioned.

The tavern was quite big, but it was messy inside.

Joelson saw many sailors with swollen cheeks, adventurers in a hurry, and prostitutes dressed in flirtatious clothes shouting and talking. From time to time, they would let out rude laughter. The beer bottles were knocked against the long oak table.

Joelson's appearance was like throwing a stone into boiling water. Other than a few people glancing at him, there was no commotion.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a handsome young master."

A burst of fragrance came, and the pungent smell of shoddy perfume made Joelson frown slightly.

A woman in revealing clothes with a face covered in thick powder crawled into his arms, shaking her two huge breasts. She looked at Joelson with a laugh and said, "You only need five silver coins to have a wonderful night. Come, baby?"

Joelson threw a silver coin at the woman.

The woman saw it and frowned. She quickly relaxed and said, "That's not enough. Forget it. Who asked you to be so attractive?"

As she spoke, the woman was about to stick close to Joelson.

Joelson pushed her away stiffly and said coldly, "I'm looking for Red Beard. Lead the way."

The woman was stunned for a moment. Then, she stuffed the silver coins into the gap in her chest, waved at him, and walked straight into the tavern.

Red Beard was the "warm-hearted old man" that Lucas spoke of.

The woman took him to a corner of the tavern. There was a drunk red-haired young man lying on the small round table.

"It's him?!"

He frowned slightly and said, "Isn't Red Beard an old man?"

The coquettish woman winked at Joelson and said with a smile, "Red Beard died last month. This is his son. His beard is also red."

At this time, the drunk red-haired young man raised his head and opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Who is it? Looking for me?!"

Joelson casually summoned a water ball and threw it at the young man's face. The young man was shocked by the cold water and instantly woke up. He jumped up.

"Ouch!"

He stared at his bloodshot and dirty eyes. Just as he was about to angrily argue with Joelson, he was thrown on the face by a cold and hard object.

"Ah!"

The young man cried out when he felt the pain, but his eyes lit up. He quickly bent down and picked up the gold coins on the ground like a bolt of lightning and carefully stuffed them into his arms.

He turned his head and had a flattering smile on his face.

"Respected noble Master Shao, is there anything I can help you with?"

Joelson found a seat and said in a low voice, "I just came to the central continent."

The young man showed a hint of understanding on his face and said, "Tourists from other continents."

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Joelson.

Usually, the adventurers who came to the central continent alone from other continents were true powerhouses who were not weak.

"Although my old man died too suddenly and didn't have time to tell me many things, I can still answer most of the questions for you."

A shrewd look appeared in the young man's eyes as he said slyly, "Let's say first, one gold coin for each question!"

"Okay."

Joelson didn't have time to argue with him about a few gold coins.

An hour later, Joelson had a rough understanding of the central continent.

The central continent was vast and had countless mysterious and dangerous places. However, most of the land was still ruled by a powerful empire.

The Immotati Empire was also known as the "Immortal Empire".

This was because the emblem of the Immotati family was a violet flower from the immortal garden.

There were many sects in the central continent, and they fought over the believers.

The biggest sect, which was truly recognized by the Inmotati Empire, was the Church of Light.

The Church of Light covered every city in the empire, and the footsteps of the believers of the Church of light covered every corner of the empire.

Other sects could only survive in the cracks.

Speaking of this, the young man was extremely dissatisfied.

This was because he was a follower of the Fire God sect.

The only one who could contend against the Church of Light should be the Dark Church.

The Dark Church was hidden in the shadows of the Empire. No one knew where the dark temple was built.

Although the Church of Light had to repeatedly destroy one Dark Church stronghold after another every year, the darkness was still stubbornly growing and strengthening.

"Last question."

Joelson threw another one into the pile of gold coins in front of the young man, making him laugh happily again.

"I need a map of the central continent," Joelson said seriously.

"A map."

The young man muttered, "Yes, wait a moment."

He took out a small pocket from his pocket and poured it on the table, pulling out a large pile of scattered items.

The most eye-catching ones were a few black crystals of different sizes and dull colors.

The young man pinched the gray crystals one by one. After a while, his eyes finally revealed a look of joy.

"I can see that you don't lack money at all, so I'll give you the best one."

The young man handed the largest gray crystal to Joelson. Just as Joelson was about to take it, he withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "One hundred gold coins, not one less."

Joelson casually threw him a heavy bag and took the crystal.

He used his spiritual power to probe into it. The gray crystal emitted a strange blue light, and a floating continent was revealed on the crystal.
