Volume 2 Chapter 55 The Town
Originally, Shi Leiyin planned to rely on the stars to locate the direction, but when he found out that there was no constellation in the sky that looked like a spoon, he remembered that this was not the earth, and naturally there was no Beidou spoon. As a result, Shi Leiyin could only simply follow the direction of the day and run towards the north.
However, Shi Leiyin's luck was good, and when the sky was dark, he found one of the few road signs that Zilde had mentioned earlier, a large tree with a strange shape. It was a signpost to the town on the northern border of the wasteland, the town of Sene. After calculating his running speed and time, Shi Leiyin confirmed that his group had missed a lot of distance from the original target town. But fortunately, I still have to go through the wasteland to the north anyway, and now going to Sene Town is also expected.
With the troubles of Danatos before, Shi Leiyin was a little jealous of the strange-looking signpost tree. simply woke up Zilde, who was sleeping on his back, and after letting him confirm the direction, he went around from a distance.
The town of Sene is located in the northernmost part of the Great Wilderness, because it has basically broken away from the Great Wilderness, so there are many fields suitable for cultivation near the town, although because of its proximity to the north, the cultivated land can only be sown and harvested once a year, but there is no waterlogging and drought, and there are few times when the harvest is not good. When you arrive in the town of Sene, you can see the extremely cold mountains, which symbolize access to the tundra and snowfields of the north. Unlike in the Gaia Plains, the terrain of the extremely cold mountains in the Great Wilderness is much steeper, and the peaks are even higher, almost to the point where it is difficult for birds to cross. However, most people still choose to cross the Great Wilderness into the northern tundra and snowfields, because the Extreme Cold Mountains have a natural gap in the area where the town of Sene is located. You don't have to climb over dangerous mountains to enter the tundra and snowfields, if it weren't for the natural mountain road being too narrow, a slightly larger carriage would have taken up all the roads, and the closer you get to the tundra and snowfields, the more garrisons can be used, and the Pompeii Empire even plans to divide the tundra and snowfields into the territory through this gap.
With fields to cultivate and access to the tundra and snow, the town of Sené is naturally much better developed than several other towns in the wasteland, except that it has no strong walls, and the whole town is not much different from a small town. The town has all kinds of facilities, the major trade unions have also set up branches in the town, and there is even a garrison of 2,000 people in the vicinity of the town to maintain the security around the town.
Since there was no city wall, Shi Leiyin easily entered the town. However, it is still inconvenient for Shui Jing and Jieliya to appear in front of humans, so from the outsider's point of view, it is just a little boy in a cloak walking alone in the town with a low-level slime pet.
In addition to the Imperial Humans, the town of Sene is also occasionally populated by the inhabitants of the tundra and snowfields, and even some barbarians living further north. But because of this geographical location, all parties tried their best not to cause anything in the town, so the security of the town was unexpectedly good, and there was no ruffian who would do anything bad to a little boy walking around the town alone. This also made Shi Leiyin and Zilde breathe a sigh of relief. Although with the strength of the two of them, the average adult human, seven or eight is not a problem, but this kind of trouble can be avoided, which is a good thing after all.
When walking on the road, Shi Leiyin completely pretended to be a low-level pet slime, and his round body also attracted the attention of many young women, plus Zilde's cute little Zhengtai face. Walking from the town entrance to the hotel, Zilde was stopped six times, kissed seven or eight times on the face, and even Shi Leiyin enjoyed a few choppy hugs, of course, it was indispensable to be secretly complained by Jieliya, and even threatened to complain to Shui Jing.
The money for Zilde's hotel was obtained by Shi Leiyin. They didn't find out about the lack of human currency until outside the town to discuss how to get in and resupply. But fortunately, as the lowest-level monster slime, in addition to eating everything, there is also a habit of hiding metal objects in the body, so occasionally the metal currency used by humans will be collected into the body. Because this is unlikely, most people don't think of killing slimes to get income. But Shi Lei Yin is different, as a fifth-order mutant slime, he already belongs to the level beyond the king-level slime, similar to the summoning method of the previous slime kingdom, he can use it lightly. And in a small town like Senetown, there are also a lot of slimes around, and from nearly 10,000 slimes, it is not a big problem to get enough money for accommodation. In fact, Shrayin was lucky enough to gather a very rare golden slime and squeezed out twenty Pompeii coins from it. There are also many gold, silver and copper coins of all kinds, and even several ancient gold coins.
Ancient gold coins can only be taken to pawnshops or gold shops, but first, the source can't be explained, and secondly, a child who takes this kind of thing out will definitely be pitted, and Shi Leiyin turned out to throw it directly to the golden slime, so that this ultra-rare slime almost advanced (the golden slime is an ultra-rare variety that relies on the value of gold coins in the body to upgrade). There were thirty-five gold coins, forty silver coins, and three hundred and seventy copper coins, and a pink gem ring, and I don't know who was so unlucky to be swallowed by the slime for such a valuable item.
I asked for an ordinary single room in the inn for thirty copper coins a day, and this price was the discount given by the innkeeper for Zilde's cuteness. However, Zilde still asked the clerk to buy five silver coins of fruit on the grounds of feeding pet slimes. In the town of Sene, the most famous fruit is the Wasteland grape, but that stuff is usually collected by the winery to make delicious wines, and the few that are sold outside are also very expensive, so the clerk brought back another cheap specialty, each weighing a kilogram of Sene pears. Fifteen copper coins each, five silver coins, the clerk Leng bought nearly forty back, in Shi Leiyin's opinion, it must be the proprietress who has made a lot of effort out of it.
Selling Zilde to the proprietress and the female clerks to eat tofu, Shi Leiyin asked Shui Jing and Jie Liya to come out in the room to breathe, and by the way, eat some pears to replenish the lost water and nutrients. With Shi Leiyin's current appetite, he can convert all these forty pears into juice and store them in his body. However, the juice that comes out of zuò in this way is only willing to be drunk by Shui Jing. Both Jalia and Zird are definitely avoided. In Jieliya's words, it is, 'Sister Shui Jing is willing to drink your saliva'. As for why Shui Jing is willing to drink, her statement is that the exchange of body fluids between water spirits is a common thing, and there is something strange.
Nibbling on the huge Sene pear, arguing with Jieliya, and stroking Shui Jing's head from time to time to make her feel loved, Shi Leiyin began to think about the next direction of action.
