Act XXXI: The Bazaar of the Ultramarine Fortress

Early in the morning, it was the low chime of bells that pulled Rosen back to reality from his meditation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After cleaning up the remaining monsters, everyone returned to their rooms after a cool dinner, and as for Lawson, he refused to eat in the name of penance to escape the danger of revealing his identity.

As the night passed, the fortress in the wilderness deep in the Eternal Night Forest was quiet, at least Rosen was not disturbed at night, and the storm raging outside the walls could not penetrate the barriers of the forces of order, and everything was in order inside the fortress.

Lawson was surprised when he saw the mission prompt last night, but then he immediately came to his senses.

The side of order has been retreating for thousands of years, and the fortresses built by the ancient sages have been breached and abandoned, and according to Gascoigne, several fortresses around it have not escaped their doom, so why are these green fortresses still standing?

Originally, it was only luck to explain this phenomenon, but now Rosen has a more accurate answer.

It was the remains of the First Sage, Reed Gray, who were present in this fortress.

Presumably, in addition to Reed Gray, there are also the holy relics of the goddess who have been protecting this fortress, and the blessings of the two have enabled this ordinary fortress to stand for thousands of years in this dangerous forest of eternal night.

So here comes the problem, Rosen thought.

Assuming that Reed Gray's mausoleum is indeed located in this group of green fortresses, why hasn't anyone discovered its existence for so many years?

Lawson subconsciously ruled out the possibility that the grave had already been taken by someone else, and he thought that the task issued by the system would not make him run in vain, so he fell into deep thought.

However, not long after the bell rang, visitors were already approaching the door.

"Brother Lawson, are you interested in going to the fortress together?"

Neither Gascoigne, nor the Netherlands, nor Miss Grandia.

It was Lena, a red-haired woman, who came to visit Rosen.

Unlike the others, who had very different attitudes towards Rosen, Lena remained unchanged from beginning to end, even when the other mercenaries had already addressed Rosen as "sir".

"Shopping?"

Rosen is very strange, although this group of green fortresses is huge, almost equivalent to half the size of Bunajien City, but as a military fortress, what is there to visit?

In the introduction of various novels and movies in the previous life, most of these military fortresses are all kinds of fortifications and long corridors, and the only spacious one is probably the central square.

"Don't you know that this green fortress is one of the few free trade zones demarcated by the Kingdom of Aster and the Wendland Federation, and because of the exemption from taxes and the abundance of products around it, trade is also quite prosperous. ”

Lena glanced at Rosen with some disgust, as if she regretted inviting this ignorant fellow.

"In the center of the Ultramarine Fortress, the Sky Square gathers some of the finest goods in the area, and the prices are affordable, and it would be a big loss if you came to the fortress and closed the door. ”

"I see, wait a minute. ”

Rosen thought about it, anyway, he still has some savings in his pocket, so it is better to follow and see, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

What's more, it was also in Lawson's wish to explore the fortress for this reason, so he quickly agreed.

Packing his bags, he followed Lena down the narrow aisle towards the center of the fortress.

"Little brother, does your armor have any special function, it's all in the fortress and you still refuse to take it off, is there actually nothing in your iron sheet, only a magic array to drive?"

Lena quipped, comparing Lawson to an alchemy doll.

"Hehe......"

Lawson couldn't speak, and Lena's speech was to some extent the right heart, and he could only laugh dryly twice.

"But then again, the alchemist is a kind of heretic, and now that the two of us have come together, we have completed the reconciliation between the Templar and the mage. ”

Lena said again, but she didn't care if Rosen would draw his sword and turn his face when he heard it.

In the alchemist's holy book "Alchemy", the ultimate goal of all alchemists is to achieve the existence of the "Gate of Truth" and to understand the truth, which is obviously inconsistent with the teachings of the Templar.

But Lawson is not a real Grey Knight, and naturally he will not fight for his faith, and to be reasonable, he is much more dangerous than an alchemist like Lena, and the battle between the Templars and mages is only a struggle within humans, while the undead and humans are wars between races.

"Strange, I remember the guards saying that the road should be like this...... Ah, here it is. ”

As they spoke, the two of them finally walked out of the slightly dark and damp corridor and came to a wide and refreshing square.

"Huh?"

Rosen originally thought that the Sky Square was a slightly dim confined space under the light of candles, but what he saw in front of him was completely unexpected.

When you look up, you can see a clear sky, the autumn clouds set off the blue and distant sky, the golden sun shines down, illuminating the whole square, and in the distance is connected to the huge gate, which is the east gate of the fortress.

"This is the Firmament Square, now do you know why it's called that?"

Lena smiled, her gaze not lingering on the dome for long, as if she had long since seen the strange appearance, and stepped straight into the square.

"Like the Hall of the Firmament, the dome of this square is magical, and while the legend is a romantic story, I prefer to believe that it was the mages who were stationed here at the time who were tired of looking at the same masonry ceiling that made it what it is now. ”

Lena explained as she walked that it was the right time, most of the shops had already opened, perhaps because the magic tide was approaching, and the situation outside was getting worse day by day, so everyone chose to cash in on their harvest here as soon as possible, so the prosperity was comparable to that of Bunajien.

But there's a lot more to sell here than Bunajien.

Lawson saw the extract of the demonized cuneiform, the material of this ferocious monster was actually sold by weight in a bucket, and the internal organs of the bloodthirsty beast, according to the seller, this is the best material for making an antidote, but Lawson did not have to worry about poisoning so he skipped it, and the silk of the faceless spider was knotted, ten silver coins a clump, and the cloth armor woven by it could resist ordinary sword attacks, which was quite cost-effective.

Rosen followed behind Lena, watching the red-haired alchemist buy one thing after another, he weighed his money bag, and in a trance he had the illusion of watching the girl go shopping Taobao and couldn't stop chopping his hands.

Soon, though, he found what he was looking for.

It was three gray crystals, which used to be crystals that stored the magic of some element, but with the passage of time, these elements had long since escaped, leaving only such crystals with residual magical energy, which were excellent as a medium for mages to store spells.

But of course, Rosen didn't fancy this, the reason why he wanted it was because when his eyes swept over the three gray crystals, the system panel suddenly jumped out, showing that this thing could actually bring Rosen eighty souls.

Money is something outside the body, and the soul is quite rare, Rosen immediately made up his mind to buy these three crystals, please ask Lena, who has rich bargaining experience, to negotiate the price with the boss, Rosen was taking out a gold coin to pay the bill, but a hand stretched out, wanting to pick up the three gray crystals.

"Boss, I want these three crystals. ”

Raising his head, Rosen saw a man with light blonde hair say in a flirtatious tone, while looking at this side with disdain.

What's the situation?

Lawson was still confused, but he heard Lina next to him whispering the other party's name.

Verus Aatrox...... Son of the Lord of Regios!"
