Quicksand ferry.

This is the intersection of the north-south boundary, and the lake from the Daisetsuzan Mountains flows down, and here it is divided into two rivers, one south and one north, and in the center is a large delta area. Excessive deforestation has led to very severe soil erosion, and the desertified land has washed into the rushing river, making the whole river look a little muddy and yellow. If it weren't for the druids' to stop it, there would have been another terrible disaster like the 'diversion of the Yellow River'.

At least in the geographical knowledge that Sauron remembers, this place has been rerouted by the river to form a terrain similar to 'Eight Hundred Miles of Liang Shanbo'.

This is the territory of the intelligent lizardmen.

Unlike the small lizardmen in the wilderness, these creatures know how to build villages and weapons, and they are blessed with a weak 'lizardman god'. Every once in a while, these lizardfolk would try to trade with nearby humans, using the gems and gold they found to buy large quantities of food supplies. Weapons are contraband, and lizardfolk are fickle and cunning by nature, and attacks on humans happen from time to time, and even the most greedy merchants dare not sell weapons to them on a large scale.

Large groups of lizardfolk are scattered in this water, they are amphibious creatures, and this is the best place for them to live.

The humans in the vicinity believe in the god of justice.

Within a radius of 150 kilometers around the delta, the law is stricter than in other places, and even minor violations of the law may be punished. The priest of the God of Justice serves as a judge, and many of His followers become guards, where those in the evil camp are ostracized. It's as if the shadowy realm ridicules people who behave well as a form of weakness. Each place has its own customs. There are also rules that belong to them, if there is no knowledge of the corresponding. Then trouble will soon be in trouble.

Sauron's figure appears near the delta.

He removed the hood from his body, and the Justice Guard thought that the person hiding his head and tail was easily a bad guy, which might have attracted more attention from them.

Compared to other cities, it is much cleaner, even the buildings are in good order, and the god of justice is a good deity, although he is a god who prefers 'order and goodness', but it is not as extreme as other order and good gods. But his priest is also notoriously dead-headed, and for so many years has been trying to promote ideas like 'the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people'. It is a pity that this doctrine has always been strongly rejected by the aristocracy. Even the nobles here have only compromised to the point that they must be punished.

For example, if a nobleman kills an innocent commoner, he must pay compensation, or other punishments, or even reduce the deprivation of status.

But they will not be put to death.

This is a more benevolent place, although there is a semi-slavery system, but the indiscriminate execution of slaves will be fined, and slaves in other places are completely equivalent to private property. Slavery is common in this world, but there are strict requirements, and slaves have corresponding identification and contract documents. The black market slave trade has always been a serious industry for the holy warriors.

………………

From here, Sauron intended to sail south.

It's the fastest way to get to the seaside, and it only takes a day or two to reach Shipwreck Bay, which is close to the Soros Islands and close to the City of Fortune. It used to be called 'Treasure Bay'. The main reason is that it was once a central point of trade with the tropical jungle, and due to the special geographical environment, many ships loaded with cargo wealth ran aground and sank nearby. It took a long time for humans to find a safe route there, and pilots in the wreck bay were the hottest industry.

Sauron cleaned up the Darktide Fishmen there. This creature has found many underwater treasures, but unfortunately rarely travels on land. [Notes: Guarded by the undead.] 】

To deal with them, you need underwater breathing agents. And the fight is still in a swimming state, and Sauron is very unsuitable for this kind of fighting, so he does not stay for too long.

[Underwater Combat] is a specialty that is too difficult to master!

Sauron was paid fifteen Kindlers, and then found a southbound merchant ship, with cargo in the lower bilge, and some high-end guest rooms at the top, which could earn hundreds of Kindler for a round trip. These ships are all owned by the Chamber of Commerce, and the strength of the guards is no worse than that of the caravan, and when Sauron went up, he saw more than twenty fleet guards, including more than third-order escort captains. This kind of life is undoubtedly much easier than adventure, and it can also bring a well-off life to the family.

There is little danger on the river.

In the early years, there were lizardmen attacking ships, but now the lizardmen's patronus is also asleep, and those dishonest guys have also restrained a lot.

The first-class rooms set by Sauron, on the top of the cabin, are well decorated.

A sailor led him to the door of the room and left, looking rather respectful, after all, the wizard profession is very intimidating.

Because the ship will sway when sailing, there are hammocks and fixed wooden beds, tables and chairs are directly hit on the wall, basically most of the things are fixed, otherwise it is easy to break and fall. Sauron took off his wizard's robes, then took out a book to look through, he bought some books as he passed through the city, the environment of the ship was not suitable for spell research, and he didn't like to be stupid, he might as well read more books.

There's never too much knowledge!

Soon, the merchant ship shook slightly, it should have set sail south, and now it is still sailing smoothly, but there are some sections behind it that are more troublesome. In this case, you can't meditate and study spells, and you can't get hurt with a bump and shake, and anything related to spells must be relatively mentally focused.

Footsteps were heard outside.

Sauron hung his clothes on the wall, then sat on the edge of his bed and read a book, the door next door seemed to be opened, and it appeared to be a guest living next to him.

Bang!

There was a slight thump, as if someone had hit a wall in the back.

Sauron's listening skills have improved a lot during this time, and he is very sensitive to some movements, and sometimes he can even judge what is happening outside based on the sound, whether the steps are fast or slow, what the mood of the walker is, what kind of things he is doing, and so on. The basic skills may not seem great, but the effect of accumulating them little by little is amazing.

Sauron seemed to hear a wheez.

This couldn't help but make him frown slightly, put down the book in his hand, the voice next door was obviously a little louder, faintly there were women's moans and men's gasps, the wall slammed again, and it should also be a wooden bed fixed next to the wall. The guest next door seemed to be a little too eager, and was actually ready to go to bed just after getting on the boat.

The hull of the ship shook a little.

Then came the woman's coquettish laughter, and the man's slight cry of pain, as if he had hit something.

After a while, there was a creaking sound, and a rapid gasp that became more and more pronounced, a sound that made Sauron frown, he really didn't like to hear it.

Especially when he had been restraining himself for so long.

A faint voice came.

"Ahh …… Dear...... Target...... Are we going to get rich now...... Got rich......"

"Squeak...... Squeak ...... Call...... That's right...... We're going to get rich...... Wait to bring this thing back! …… Carlin...... Dana ...... Countess...... Will definitely be willing to buy it for a high price......"

The voice was a little weaker.

The words that Sauron heard later were a little choppy and inaudible, as if to say, "That vain...... Always wanted to seduce Prince William...... It's a pity that she doesn't look very pretty...... She...... Always...... Want...... Call...... This item is said to enhance the charm...... Her father was a wealthy businessman...... Mine a gold mine...... She's definitely willing to pay a premium ......"

The woman's moans rose a little, and the creaking rattle became rapid.

A little more later.

The movement gradually became much quieter, and the man's tired voice could be heard as if he was in prostration, "My dear...... Why don't you put it on first? ……”

"Don't! …… Cluck! …… That thing is said to have a curse...... We'll sell it to her......

"What do you care about so much! …… As long as she's willing to pay! …… It is said that she tried to seduce Prince William...... They all began to try to use certain forbidden methods to make themselves more beautiful! …… When we get the money, we'll fly away! ……”

Then the sound was gone.

Sauron couldn't help but stand up and move a little, without any footsteps, and the other party didn't seem to notice that there was someone next door. The cabins are separated by a thick plank, and in fact the soundproofing is poor. There was a thoughtful expression on Sauron's face, and there seemed to be some emotion in his expression, because the qiē mentioned by the other party seemed to represent some extraordinary item.

Can it elevate the charm?

It seems to be some special equipment, did the person next door find one of them?

Sauron had itchy hands.

Transcendent items are not so easy to get, and those that can improve their attributes are even rarer, and it is possible for the other party to find a legendary item.

As for the curse that is said to be there, it doesn't matter.

There are many cursed equipment in this world, and any extraordinary item in the evil camp is cursed in the eyes of ordinary people.

I just don't know what the strength of the two people next door is, they will definitely not be ordinary civilians, and the people who can get this kind of equipment basically have so many skills.

Sauron opened the window and looked at the sky outside, and then quickly made up his mind.

He planned to act after dark.

Sauron was not a kind person in the first place, and with a transcendent piece of equipment next to him, he would have some thoughts in his heart.
