The bazaars in the mining and gold town are very crowded, very numerous, but they are not lively at all.

In fact, there are very few vendors who actually set up their stalls, and the rest seem to be poor people from the mining town. Most of these poor people are in rags and barely able to cover their bony bodies, and it is clearly not enough to maintain decency and dignity.

They sat or leaned on them, and they occupied a large amount of open space around the bazaar. With a complex gaze of hunger, begging, resentment, and humility, he licked everyone who wandered the bazaar, or someone like Saul who still had purchasing power in today's world.

The whole market was crowded, but it seemed deserted, and there was hardly any shouting for customers. Only a faint hum filled the air, mostly from the whispers of the poor on the roadside, occasionally mixed with untoned rhetoric.

"It seems that you are very deficient in nature, and it is a compliment to be called a waste, so let's make some efforts to make some acquired efforts! For example, believing in a merciful new god, as your faith deepens, maybe you will be able to be favored and protected by the new god!"

A few guys in robes and faces were weaving through the crowd to encourage them, and there would be such a ...... in any area Oh, maybe it's a cultist, whatever. The current world is obviously very conducive to their performance, so the whole market has become a stage for them.

The whole market is bright and spacious, but I feel that the atmosphere around me seems to be a little tense.

It may not be right to say that you are nervous, but it should be said that everyone has become in a kind of looking around all the time. The poor are expecting handouts, the vendors are calculating the profits of their goods, and the thieves and thieves are worried about other people's purses.

Such a sight could have been seen in any territory before.

But I feel that the relationship between people seems to be more guarded, more alienated, or more dangerous.

Thor didn't know if it was because the human settlements on the continent were so lifeless now, or if it was because the mining town itself was a little remote. It was enough for him to know that money was still in circulation in the bazaar, at least not before it returned to the days of barter.

Once the currency loses its role, it not only implies the regression of civilization, but also indicates that the situation on the mainland has deteriorated incomparably.

Roughly sweeping his gaze, Thor suddenly noticed a snooping glare from the shadows. Unlike the undisguised covetousness of the poor, the gaze was vague and evasive, and it was evident that there was a fellow who thought he was well hidden in the shadows.

The robber, the thief, Thor, pursed his lips and began to go about his business.

With his fifth-order strength, as long as he wants to, he can completely say it in the town, so he doesn't worry about any malice.

I just turned over a few conspicuous stalls in the bazaar, but I didn't buy the scroll of the Gate of the Secret Realm.

Not just the scrolls of the reincarnation dungeon, there are no secret realm scrolls. The merchant's explanation was that there used to be, but now that trade in the wilderness is difficult, and the secret realm is no longer the mainstream of today's adventures, this kind of consumable has been out of stock for a while.

When Thor asked why the Secret Realm Scroll couldn't be used, the merchant shook his head and said he didn't know anything.

"A sword for fifty silver coins?"

"You look like you're saying I'm robbing money?"

"Isn't it?"

"Not after he saves your life!"

Thor smiled meaninglessly and put the sword back into his stall.

Fifty silver coins for an ordinary iron sword, compared to the previous silver coins, this is obviously a bit exaggerated. When he first heard the offer, Thor thought it was some kind of magic weapon, and wanted to hold it in his hand to see if there was anything extraordinary that he didn't know.

But after a closer look, I realized that it was an ordinary iron sword, and Lorton could easily punch a bunch of them with a blacksmith's hammer.

Thor's own sword was behind his back, and there was no problem with any breakage and bluntness.

It's just that he didn't buy the Secret Realm Scroll, so Thor casually looked around, but now the things in the entire market are obviously at a premium. Not to mention the fifty silver coins of an iron sword, the food was also many times more than usual.

It's no wonder that there are so many poor people in Kuangjin Town, and if prices don't come down, this town probably won't be able to support it for long.

Thor originally wanted to replenish some water, but there was no shortage of those things in the ring, and the materials recovered from the original Free City Material Distribution Point were more than enough for him to consume for a year or two alone.

However, now that the year is difficult, he wants to stock up on another batch along the way, and bring it back to relieve the pressure if the territory is difficult. However, at the moment, it is obviously of little significance to this kind of price that sits on the ground.

Leaving the bazaar, Thor turned into the dimly lit alleyway and waited behind a corner.

After a few moments, a dark shadow followed, and Thor grabbed his neck with one hand.

With Thor's current strength, it is not too simple to directly strangle or lift the opponent's feet off the ground. But Thor quickly let go of his hand, and pressed his hands against the walls on either side of the opponent, whose dagger had already been disarmed.

This is clearly the two female adventurers he met at the gate of Mine Gold Town, and the one in front of him is the thief Shiitake mushroom among the two women.

Thor looked at her playfully, before Thor could start questioning.

"Let go of my sister!" shouted a figure with a sword and rushed into the alleyway.

Soon the long sword was thrown aside, Thor pulled it with his hand, and the swordsman Shiitake mushroom was also surrounded in the crook of his arm, and now the two sisters were together.

"Let go of those two girls and let me ...... Oh, let them go!" Whose dog's head poked out of the alleyway.

"Get out!" was followed by Thor shouting, and the surroundings finally fell silent.

"Hug ...... I'm sorry, Adventurer, we shouldn't have doubted your prowess before. The thief Shiitake said.

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about the purpose of stalking me, before I break your necks. Thor smiled.

"This is my sister Funa, I'm my sister Randy, and we're both adventurers. In fact, we were looking for someone to form a team and travel through the dark wilderness to Harrett territory, but we couldn't find the right one. ”

Sister Randy took over and explained.

"Where is Harret? Is this the southern border of Salvinia?" Thor 's eyes flashed.

"Yes, this is the southern border, and the Harrett territory is in the west of Mine Gold Town, less than two days away. Sister Funa replied.

Thor took out a map of the South from his package, and motioned for the sisters to point out the location by the light that penetrated the alleyway.

After they pointed out the location of Harret's territory, Thor quickly found the words 'Mineral Gold Town' the size of an ant to the east of Harret. However, it seems that the town of Mine Gold is already a marginal town in the eastern part of the southern border, and there is no record of anything further east.

The mountain range where the dragon shiitake mushroom is located has been found, but it is only roughly marked on the map, and there is no name for the mountain range. Judging from the distance from the mountains to the mining town, I have barely traveled much distance on the map during the time I spent on the road.

Thor's original plan was to find out if this continent was Salvinia, and at the same time, to find out why the Secret Realm Scroll couldn't be used. Now that the former question has been clarified, the latter remains unanswered.

Since the Secret Realm Scroll can't be used, and you haven't bought it at the bazaar, maybe it's time to plan a new route.

Walking to the Free City of the North on your feet is obviously unrealistic and too time-consuming.

Maybe you can go to Pandor, the main relay city in the south, where it is said that there are hot springs that are rich in fruits and vegetables in all seasons, and the key is that there is a relay teleportation array there. You can go directly to the main city of Odrenza in the south, or to a place called Ironforge on the border between the north and the south.

After arriving at Ironforge Fort, cross the border between the north and south of the continent, and find a large main city with a teleportation array, which should be able to directly teleport to Asokeland City, which is only a few months away from the Free City.

The whole journey home is carefully calculated, and if he walks faster, Thor is sure that the time will be cut by nearly half from more than a year.

For now, the town of Mine and Harret's realm to the west, and the main city of Pandor further west are exactly the same horizontal line on the map. If Thor wants to make Pandor the first stop on this journey, it would be a good idea to go to Harret's territory first.

"Are you two sure I'm the right person to team up?" Sol asked the Shiitake Sisters in his arms, playfully.

"Yes, I'm sorry for being rude at first, but we thought it was incredible to hear that you walked alone through the wilderness of the Necromancer...... Or maybe it's great, but you later say that there is no danger halfway through, and it can't help but arouse our suspicions. ”

"Later, we discussed it and felt that it doesn't matter if you encounter anything in the wilderness, just the act of crossing the wilderness itself can actually show your strength, plus the tracking and fighting just now...... Sorry for the offense. ”

"I would venture to ask, what is your strength...... It must have been at the fourth order or even higher, right?" Randy tentatively flashed his wide-eyed eyes.

It is not surprising that two second-order shiitake mushrooms can guess their strength.

Professionals with ranks, regardless of whether the other party is lower or one level higher than themselves, can feel the breath of the other party.

The only thing that is difficult to judge is that when a person has no breath in front of you, you can't immediately determine whether he is an ordinary person with no strength, or if the other party is already two orders higher than you.

"It's okay to form a team, I'm basically on the way, I'll probably leave Mine Gold Town tomorrow morning. ”

"But there is one thing I have never let up in my reverence for the dark wilderness, and unimaginable dangers can come at any time, so I can't promise much. If you want to go on the road together, you should take care of each other. Saul replied.

Thor didn't dwell on the other party's strength issues, so it was good to be quiet and mysterious at this time.

That's the right way to exude glamour.

"You are humble, you don't have to worry about the danger at all, as adventurers, we have long been aware that life and death are up to us. It is already a blessing for our sisters to have your protection on the way, thank you. ”

"Tomorrow morning, we will be waiting for you at the town gate on time. Two shiitake mushrooms saluted Thor.

"Just let them go?" Looking at the backs of the two adventurers Shiitake mushrooms, Neferna in her arms suddenly asked.

"And what else do you want?" Thor was puzzled.

"Shouldn't you have knocked them down, as is customary?" questioned Neferna.

"What kind of bullshit convention, don't talk like you know me very well, and wild dogs will pounce on people, okay?"

Saul couldn't cry or laugh, and after he found out that Neferna, the goddess shiitake mushroom, was familiar with himself, he began to mischievous all kinds of tricks.
