Chapter 268 Slums

The set of witch formations obtained by the Church family at auction only cost 7,000 or 8,000 magic stones in the Land of Dawn, but when brought to the Barrens, they fetched a sky-high price of 80,000 magic stones. 【🆆🆆🆆🆂🆃♦♦♦♦🅲♦🅼】

Even with such a huge profit, it is still difficult to see witch formations in the Barrens, because the Land of Dawn strictly controls the outflow of witch formations.

Ordinary wizards generally do not use wizard arrays unless they want to strengthen their homes or build their own base.

A more common situation is that some organizations or forces will have greater demand for witch formations.

Herage and Israel talked for several hours and drank a lot.

With Herage's physique, it is difficult for alcohol to have any impact on him. He is truly intoxicated after a thousand cups.

After the conversation between the two, Israel admired Herage even more.

Because he found that this young man was so knowledgeable that he could pick up any aspect of knowledge at his fingertips. Moreover, he didn’t just know a little bit about it, but he had a really deep understanding.

Israel had to sigh, Herage was a real genius.

After drinking, they each called a carriage and went back.

There are many such carriages waiting to carry passengers near the tavern, and only these places have better business at night.

When Herrag returned home, he found that David was already fast asleep, while Reisi was reading hard with a book on the principles of magic.

"Rest, it's still a long time, take your time." Herage could feel that Reiss seemed to be under a lot of pressure these days.

The source of pressure seems to come from himself, because he learns too fast and makes progress too fast.

Ruisi wanted to catch up with him, but found that she seemed to be getting further and further away from Herage.

If this continues, sooner or later she will become a burden to Herag's side. This is a scene that Reisi doesn't want to see.

So during this time, Ruisi studied very hard and was eager to make progress.

"You're back, are you drunk?" Rais heard the voice and realized that Herague was back, with a look of surprise on her face.

Herague had already mentioned the matter of passing the witchcraft master examination after the examination.

Herague walked over and held Ruisi in his arms, touched Ruisi's back and said, "You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. No matter how strong I become in the future, I will never abandon you."

Ruisi leaned into his arms and whispered: "I know, I just don't want to drag you down..."

"Nothing is a drag or a drag. You just need to practice step by step. If you do it too hastily, problems will arise. By the way, tell me when you and David reach the limit of Qi transformation and are still unable to break through. I should be able to help Get busy."

Herage planned to give David and Reis the sap of the World Tree when they reached the limit of gasification, so as to maximize the use of the sap of the World Tree.

Simply increasing their lifespan is of little significance to the two of them for the time being. They are both young people and have not reached that time yet.

On the contrary, what they need more is the final step from the gasification breakthrough to the liquefaction stage.

Both of them are still a long way from liquefaction, and they have to meditate and practice slowly.

"It's late at night, let's take a rest."

Herage's hand slid slowly...

…

Mozambi, this is the largest slum in Silver Moon City.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a slum.

Thranduil has been distributing food regularly to ensure that the people here have enough to eat.

Compared with the slums in the Barrens, this place is pretty good.

Having enough to eat is already a dream for many people.

Mozambi is located to the west of Silvery Moon City, closest to the city wall.

There are a large group of low buildings here. If you look carefully, you can see that they are all low shacks.

These shacks are basically built with some tarpaulin, and only if conditions permit, all houses are built with wood.

In the Land of the Dawn, wood doesn't come cheap.

At least not many people in the slums can afford wood. Most people just want a shelter from the wind and rain.

Conditions in the slums are poor, with sewage flowing across them.

Although there are sewer pipes here, no one maintains them at all, and the effect is extremely poor.

The result is that you can always smell some vague odor in Mozambi.

Some places are stronger, some places are lighter.

As for the ubiquitous black sewage on the ground, people here have long been accustomed to it.

Many people even use the slightly cleaner sewage in some places as domestic water. Many people lie on the ground and drink water directly from the ground.

Getting sick from diarrhea is common, and most people don't know until they die that they got sick because they lay on the ground and drank that water.

It has been like this since childhood, and I have long been used to it.

In front of some shacks, there were some women sitting with their white legs raised, and they didn't look good.

But there will always be some men wearing dirty clothes who swallow their saliva when they pass by looking at those white and tender thighs, unable to walk.

After struggling for a long time, he searched all over his body and found five copper coins and handed them over.

The woman didn't care about the stolen goods on the copper coins. She counted them and put them away. Then she pulled the man into the shed and lowered the curtain.

There is a relatively open area in the distance, where many people gather.

An old man who looked to be in his seventies was standing in front of a large pot and stirring food.

In the pot is a white flour-like food, which is magic bread.

It is a plant called bread tree that wizards discovered when they were plundering other planes.

When the fruit of the bread tree is opened, there is this white lump of food inside.

This kind of fruit can turn into large lumps of flour when cooked, and one can fill your stomach.

It just has no flavor and low nutritional value, and is just enough to fill your stomach.

In the beginning, the fruit production of the breadfruit tree was very low.

After improvement and cultivation by wizards, the yield of breadfruit trees has been greatly increased, directly solving the problem of hunger.

There are slums in all major cities in the Land of Dawn, and each city will regularly distribute a batch of breadfruit to the slums to ensure their basic food needs.

Breadfruit will be distributed to some responsible persons in various areas of the slum, who will store and distribute the food.

These people are generally people with certain influence or prestige in the slums and have certain organizational skills, and people around them will follow their arrangements.

Franz is one hundred and seventy-eight years old this year. He is an old man in the Mosanka slum, and he is also the most knowledgeable and prestigious old man here.

He is the only official wizard here, but a crystallized wizard.

Many years ago, he was qualified to walk out of the slums and join various powerful organizations.

Although he is not qualified to join Seranduil, he can still join other chambers of commerce and various small organizations casually. Anyway, it is much better than staying in the slums.
