Chapter 224 Sam's Adventures (Part 1)
Sam's words immediately silenced the group of adventurers in the tavern.
These adventurers had good eyesight, and they could see that the iron sword and shield that Sam was carrying were obviously new equipment that had just been made.
Judging from the workmanship and appearance alone, it should be expensive.
If you want to buy something similar in Ceylon City, it will cost about 1.5 gold coins at least. If you want it to be newly made, you can even sell it for 2 gold coins.
What did Sam say?
40 silver coins?
Or did you buy it from the new territory opened near the Misty Valley as mentioned in the gossip?
The adventurers suddenly thought of something.
They remembered that there seemed to be someone called "Dwarf Blacksmith Master, Ma Helun" selling ultra-low-priced armor near the border defense line recently. However, for some unknown reason, no one came to sell it in the past two days. .
At this time, I heard news about ultra-low-price equipment again.
The adventurer can no longer calm down!
"What's going on!"
"Sam, let me buy you a drink! Is there really someone over there in the Misty Valley who has opened up a new territory?"
"How's the situation over there?"
"Did you really buy the weapons and shields there?"
One question after another bombarded adventurer Sam, and the tavern became noisy again, making Sam dizzy for a while.
Sam hurriedly raised his hands to signal the others to shut up first.
"Wait wait wait!"
"I don't know who to answer if you act like this, just listen to me!"
"Let me declare it first! Everything you hear next is true! No matter how outrageous it sounds, it is my personal experience. Keep it true!"
"The situation - this is it."
…
Sam also heard rumors that someone had opened up a new territory in the so-called dark forest. Of course, he didn't take it seriously at first.
He just took it as a joke.
He knows about the Misty Valley!
The terrifying gray mist that permeates the outside of the valley, whether humans or monsters, will be swallowed up and disappear as soon as they step into it.
According to legend, the gray fog will occasionally expand erratically, just like cleaning up the surrounding environment, sucking in all the unlucky ones staying in the nearby area.
Sam had no intention of going to the Misty Valley to find out.
Going to the Misty Valley was a complete coincidence!
Because he accidentally discovered a large team in the dark forest!
When he met this team, Sam was completely confused.
The way he woke up today was wrong?
The reason why he was confused was: there were dozens of people in this team, plus more than a dozen trolleys, but the person in charge of pushing the trolleys was not a member of the team, but a lot of [Mage Hands]!
Sam could swear that he had never seen so many master wizards in the dark forest.
And they all look like a bunch of shabby mage masters!
It can be seen from the clothing that these people's clothes are similar to Sam's. They do not wear the exquisite and expensive mage robes that are helpful for casting spells, but the common clothes commonly worn by civilians and adventurers.
Some people even had obvious patches on their clothes.
Normally, the noble mage master should have nothing to do with the word "poor"!
Aren't the wizards able to make a lot of money just by staying at home leisurely and copying two magic scrolls?
These mages who appeared in the dark forest combine the two concepts of "poverty" and "nobility" in a magical and harmonious way.
Sam was confused.
The leader of the trolley team, Hugo Seavey, was not at all confused.
Not only was he not confused, Hugo immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
An adventurer who is not a believer in the God of Knowledge!
Isn’t this a ready opportunity to increase [territory reputation]!
At that time, he enthusiastically introduced to Sam:
"Friend, adventuring in the dark forest is very hard! Do you want to come to the territory we have opened up to take a rest and purify your body of the evil god's pollution? Welcome to Xiwei Territory as a guest!"
"We have rich and delicious food here, uninterrupted supply of hot water, and soft and comfortable beds. Safety is absolutely guaranteed! If you need weapon maintenance or equipment maintenance, we can also meet your needs here! In addition, we There are also a lot of cheap and high-quality magic scrolls for sale!”
"What you have to pay, ahem... is not much, just a few gold coins is enough!"
Sam followed Hugo Seavey in a daze.
He was not afraid that Hugo Seavey was a liar or a cultist.
Which cultist can spend such a huge amount of money and arrange for at least a dozen mages to use [Mage Hands] to push the cart!
In comparison, Sam was extremely curious as to what the destination of these people was that could attract so many mages, and he even did not hesitate to put down his body and do some hard work such as pushing carts.
…
When Sam arrived in the so-called "Siwei Territory", he could only describe what he saw and heard as eye-opening.
Neatly built, thick stone walls ten meters high!
The internal construction is neat and square.
The roads are clean and tidy, and you can even smell the fragrance of fragrant grass on the road. There is a vague freshness in the air that makes people feel refreshed, which is in sharp contrast to the depressing and dirty environment in the dark forest.
When he sat in the tavern in the territory at Hugo's invitation, the menu on the wall was full of all kinds of flavored beer and fruit wine, and even bread, jam and even barbecue soup!
Sam couldn't believe his eyes.
Damn it, is this still the Dark Forest?
There is no tavern with such rich food in his hometown, Qim Town!
Sam remembered that there were only two taverns in Qim Town. In addition to ordinary beer, they only provided two kinds of food, black bread and bacon.
And bacon is not affordable for ordinary people. Most people go there just to order a glass of beer, drink, chat, brag, play cards, etc.!
Sam tried to spend 5 copper coins to order a glass of beer.
He was even more shocked when the drink was served.
In this hot August, in the Dark Forest, the beer is still iced!
"How did you do it?!" Sam couldn't believe it.
The tavern owner snapped his fingers very casually, and a beautiful icicle condensed on his fingertips.
"Tricks, [Cold Ray], as long as you control the output of mental power, it can be used to cool down the wine."
Sam was shocked.
When he came here, he saw those mages using [Mage's Hand] to push the cart, which he already thought was outrageous enough. This was simply treating the mages as ordinary laborers.
As a result, the owner of this shop called "Gold-Inlaid Tavern" is also a noble mages, and even uses magic to cool down the beer? !
Sam stuttered: "You...you, you...you usually do this?"
"Don't the mages usually stay in the mysterious and tall mages' tower? Asking them to help you costs several gold coins at a time?"
"The mages personally use magic to cool down the beer for 5 copper coins?"
"Am I...am I worthy of it?"
...
