Chapter 10: Rats
,
Seeing these two items, Su Xiao's eyes lit up, and one of them was quite important.
Caesar's ability is an eye-opener, his combat power is very scummy, but he has a lot of authority to exploit loopholes.
For example, it was dangerous for Su Xiao to exchange the prestige of the Wizarding Society for items, so Caesar changed the nature of some items to exchange them for silver coins of equal value.
As for potion recipes, it's most likely not an item in the Reputation Shop, so it can't be redeemed.
Caesar, though treacherous and stingy, was very reliable in some ways.
Su Xiao left the Wizarding Guild and took out the map provided by Caesar from his arms, the so-called sewers are not the kind of pipes located underground, but super large aqueducts in the low depressions of the city, which are used to drain water on rainy days.
The main drain of the sewers is not in the Holy Silver District, but near the Bone Harbor, and it is best to go there if you want to clean up the rats.
Su Xiao still couldn't figure it out, rats are just rats, even if there are many of them, they shouldn't reach the level where they can gain the prestige of the wizarding guild after killing, which is why he chose to clean up rats.
At this time the sky was already overcast, and the sun should have risen, but it was blocked by the gray clouds in the sky, and according to Caesar, he had been in Heru for some time, and had only seen the sun once.
Walking through the streets, the houses on both sides of the streets opened one after another, and the civilians who were angry left their homes, did not work for a day, and the whole family starved, this is the city of Heru.
The aroma of food wafted through the streets, the city seemed to come alive, and there was no despair on the faces of the civilians, in fact, after getting used to this environment, there was nothing, humans were the most adaptable races.
No matter how difficult the environment is, people will find a way to survive, and through diligence and wisdom, they will be elevated from 'survival' to 'life', and there is an essential difference between the two, the former is the way of life of the beast, and the latter is the life of man.
Su Xiao took a bite of the freshly baked bread in his hand, the baking process was very good, but the quality of the ingredients was not very good.
After passing through a few blocks, Su Xiao arrived at the edge of the Shengyin District, where in the streets and alleys, you can see a lot of rough men wearing sackcloth and sweating all over their bodies, they are all coolies, and they can only get 3~7 copper coins for a day's work.
1 silver coin = 2159 copper coins, this exaggerated exchange ratio shows that the monetary mechanism of wizards is separated from the commoners, and the commoners get the supernatural items, which is equivalent to winning the enhanced version of the lottery jackpot.
As soon as he left the Holy Silver District, Su Xiao felt that the atmosphere around him had changed, and his eyes were only hiding in the dark looking at him, most of them looked away at a glance, and a few were more persistent.
Hurried footsteps came from behind Su Xiao, and a strong man with a panicked expression covered in blood was rushing to the road.
Sou~
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a wooden crossbow bolt sank into the strong man's calf, which made his feet go limp, and he fell into the mud with a pop.
"It's almost over, I'll save up 200 copper, and give me a few more days."
The strong man dragged his legs and crawled in the muddy water, and before he could climb a few meters, several people behind him caught up.
"I can really run, I'm tired of Lao Tzu."
A scar-faced man hunched over his body and one hand on his thigh, gasping for breath.
After calming his breath, Scarface pulled out a simple dagger from his calf, which was an iron bar sharpened to a sharp point and a dirty strip of cloth wrapped around the end.
The scar-faced man stepped forward quickly, grabbed the strong man's hair with one hand, and pressed the dagger in the other hand against the strong man's neck.
Brush pull~
Cut through the flesh with a sharp blade.
In front of the buildings on both sides of the street, several men and women witnessed this scene, some of them were calmly eating breakfast, and some were greedy for others to eat breakfast.
The perpetrators were just about to drag the body away, when a carriage came from a distance, and when they saw the carriage, the scar-faced man threw the body to the ground and led the people away.
In a surprising and cruel scene, the carriage stopped, and the old coachman in the black yarmulke jumped out of the carriage, dragged the body to the carriage, and threw it onto the cart.
"Huh~"
The old coachman let out a low roar and drove away in the carriage, which came once a day in the morning to deal with the corpses of unknown origin, which was the harbor of bones, the harbor where bones were buried.
"This folk style is really simple."
Although Bahar has experienced various battles, it is the first time that the enemy of Gugang, which has a 'simple people' style, has come here.
Bubuwang is not strange, the folk customs of the Dead City are more 'simple', and the dead people there don't want anything but death.
Walking on the muddy dirt road, no one came to trouble Su Xiao, it was caused by his breath.
According to the location marked on the map, Su Xiao soon arrived at the main drainage canal of Bone Port, which was a ditch about thirty meters wide and fifty meters deep, with ashlar piles on both sides of the ditch and many iron ladders leading to the bottom.
After estimating the depth, Su Xiao jumped directly into the ditch.
Bang~
Sewage splashed everywhere, because it had just arrived in the rainy season, the water in the sewer was only a dozen centimeters high, and the air in the sewer was still fresh not long after the rain.
The whole sewer is straight forward, 100 meters ahead, there is a cross bridge hole, dripping with sewage, before arriving at the bridge, Su Xiao broke a military light stick and threw it into the dark bridge hole.
The blue light dispelled the darkness, and there were no rats in sight, and Bu Buwang, who was holding a bag of rat medicine in his mouth, was a little disappointed, it was going to be a 'hardcore' poisonous rat.
Dozens of meters deep into the bridge cave, the surrounding air became more and more humid, and the smell of corruption became heavier and heavier.
Tick~
The sound of water droplets came from the front, and Bu Buwang turned the dog's head, and the miner's lamp on his head illuminated the front.
A rat appeared in front of it, its hair dark and as hard as a steel needle.
"This play... Is it a rat? It can eat at least 6 Caesars in one meal."
Baha was a little stunned, after all, rats with calves were rare.
Bu Buwang threw the rat poison in his mouth on the ground and stepped on it, the weight of the mouse in front of him, eating dozens of bags of rat poison may not die.
"Roar!"
There was a roar, and the rats of the wizarding world were extremely powerful, not 'squeaking' like ordinary rats.
Su Xiao now knows why wizards want to clean up rats, if this thing is not cleaned up from time to time, the civilians in the city will be in danger, without civilians, the wizard's good life will come to an end.
Whoa, whoa~
Giant rats step on sewage, turn around and run away, animals with sharper senses than humans.
Zheng~
The giant rat slowly stopped, and a blood mark appeared on its abdomen, and finally the giant rat broke into two pieces and lay in the sewage.
A trace of pitch-black energy floated out from the rat corpse, drifting towards Su Xiao at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it was impossible to dodge.
This trace of pitch-black energy clinged to the back of Su Xiao's hand, and did not invade his body, but only formed a thin black line on his skin.
Su Xiao was just about to perceive what this thin black line was, and a hint of reincarnation paradise appeared.
17x reputation gain, killing a giant mouse is only 0.3 reputation, and if you want to get 2000 points, you need to kill at least 6700 or so giant rats.
Su Xiao took out a test tube from the storage space.
With a snap, the test tube smashed against the wall and shattered, and a faint sour smell diffused.
After a few minutes, Su Xiao took out another test tube, and it turned out that he couldn't believe Caesar's alchemy.
The second tube smashed against the wall, and some fishy-sweet smell spread.
Ten seconds later~
Thundered......
Giant rats with red eyes burst out of the sewers.
Su Xiao held the long knife horizontally in front of him, he was not ready to fight in close combat, the lethality of the knife was enough.
