Chapter 688: The Wanderer of the Silver Sky (II.)

Most of the plane travelers who borrowed the Great Teleportation Array of El Talan wanted to rest in the silver sky, replenish their adventure equipment, or return from the adventure to drink and relax, although there were not many of them, but they were all local tyrants who were generous and didn't care about the perverted prices in the local area. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The same glass of beer is worth up to 5 copper coins elsewhere, and the tavern in the silver sky dares to sell it for 5 gold coins, which shows how crazy the local prices are.

However, then again, the top adventurers who have been shuttling through various planes all year round can't afford to drink a glass of beer for 5 gold coins? The real strong people spend a lot of money and don't change their colors, how can they put just consumption in their eyes. It is this factor that makes a lot of money from the shops in Silver Sky, but of course, another factor in the high price of goods is the high rent and tax burden. In Roland's view, the economic model of Silver Sky is very similar to the so-called "airport economy" on the planet, and it is well known that the same bowl of noodles is more expensive in stores near the airport than elsewhere.

The Astral Plane is a spiritually dominated plane, and people do not feel hungry, thirsty, or tired during their stay in the Astral Plane, so there is no physiological need to supplement their diet and bedtime. However, as far as Roland can see, there are many restaurants, pubs and inns in the Silver Sky business district, which shows that people still need to maintain their old habits psychologically, even if they do not have these needs physically.

From a practical point of view, eating and rest are not dispensable in the astral plane, after all, most people only stay in the astral plane for a short time, and they will be teleported to other planes after a few days, especially those who return to the main material plane, and at the moment of leaving the astral plane, the hunger, thirst and fatigue accumulated in the previous days will return to your body like a flood to "settle the account", if you have not intentionally supplemented your diet and rested properly during the astral plane, you are likely to be knocked down by this sudden hunger, thirst and fatigue, or even die directly.

For spellcasters, adequate rest is even more essential - even in the astral plane, mages must rest enough for eight hours a day before preparing spells.

Roland walked along the neat streets paved with cream-yellow stone slabs, and couldn't help but laugh at the thought that he was walking on Eltaran's spine.

His smile immediately attracted the attention of the recruiting girls on both sides of the street, and they excitedly surrounded them to flatter each other.

"Little brother, you smile so beautifully, how about you come and have a drink with the young lady?"

Roland looked back, a head with heavy makeup suspended in the air, dragging a long and slender neck like a snake's neck, looking back along the neck more than ten feet long, a half-naked carcass stood behind the half-covered door curtain, beckoning to him.

Roland was so frightened that he ran away!

Nima! If you look like a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, you dare to stand on the street and laugh, is there any royal law?!

"Hee-hee, little handsome guy, don't be afraid~ Sister's oral work is first-rate, and all those who have tried it say are good, can you play for free?"

"Don't come to this set, the demon girl stay away from me!"

Roland ran out of half a street to get rid of the entanglement of the flying head barbarian illusionist, wiped his sweat and looked around, and suddenly found that the other party was not too scary, after all, there was a female minotaur in a bikini and a smile, and an innocent slime wearing a red bow**, compared to the flying head barbarian illusionist, at least he pinched a human face for himself, and what is it if the neck is longer? Neck length...... That's why people are doing a good job!

"The quality of the red light district in the silver sky is not good, why are they all some young women who have lost their feet and taken the route of killing Matt?" Roland complained secretly.

But after thinking about it, the plane travelers who travel to and from the silver sky are originally a group of strange-looking guys, according to their aesthetic standards, maybe they will see these street girls who look spicy in his eyes as stunning beauties, otherwise these young ladies will not be able to survive in this industry, there is demand to supply, and existence must be reasonable.

Hurrying through the red light district where "dinosaurs" are rampant, Roland felt that his eyes were less painful, and looked up at the shops on both sides of the street, and found that the doors and windows were nailed with the same crystal emblem, and there were three letters under it - AMF!

Roland initially thought it was a guild emblem, but after inquiring with the tobacco vendors selling tobacco on the street, he learned that it was actually the certification badge of the "Zorn Fleet".

"Only those Ghisyankee-certified shops are allowed to operate in Silver Sky, indicating that the store is 'protected' by Sir Zorne." The half-sheep man introduced him with a grin.

"So you need to pay protection money on a regular basis?" Roland asked.

The half-sheep man shrugged: "It's okay to say that, but in addition to the protection fee, the owner of the shop also has to pay ground rent, and a hawker like me who walks the streets and alleys can be exempted from paying ground rent because he doesn't have a shop." ”

Roland frowned and asked him: "The silver sky is the remains of the ancient god Eltaran, even if you want to collect rent, only Ms. Eltaran has the right to collect rent, why should the Giesyankees collect it?" ”

The half-sheep man gave him a strange look and whispered, "Young man, are you new?" Grey Sir Zon Gray had already posted a notice in the Silver Sky, claiming that the resources, including the Eltaran Teleportation Array and the Magic Crystal Mine in the Silver Sky, belonged to him, and that if he wanted to make a living on his territory, he had to follow his rules, and there had been people who had tried to resist before, but what was the result? Those poor fellows are now hairy on their bones, and since the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the Griesiankees, the locals have been so frightened by the bloody scene that they can only obediently pay taxes to Sir Karn, and obtain a crystal insignia as proof of tax payment, and the shops that do not pay the protection fee will certainly not survive in the silver sky, alas, not to mention this, do you buy tobacco? The best tobacco leaves produced in the 'Unrestrained Wild Olympia Woodland' are the favorite of our half-sheep people, and they are absolutely strong! An ounce costs only 100 gold coins, and you can pay with magic crystals, which are considered a common currency in our country. ”

"Sorry, I'm not a smoker."

"So how about a bottle of 'chewing wine'? The peerless wine produced by the Avatar Elf Maiden, a bottle only costs 700 gold coins, or you can give me an ounce of magic crystals. ”

"Forget it, I'd better buy tobacco."

Roland had no magic crystals to squander, and gave him a hundred gold coins, and as for the tobacco, he sniffed it, and it tasted good. He has no habit of smoking, so he stuffed tobacco into a storage bag as a souvenir of this astral trip, and gave it to his father, who was addicted to smoking, in the future.

Putting away the tobacco, Roland casually asked the half-sheep man: "I saw the three letters AMF under the crystal emblem, what does this mean?" ”

"Oh, that's an abbreviation for a slogan, the original Ghiss is 'Arbeit~Macht~Frei'." The half-sheep counted the gold coins and replied with a grin.

When Roland entered the Silver Sky, he blessed himself with "Clever Words", and when he heard the half-sheep say that passage from Guis, "Clever Words" automatically translated it into a lingua franca that he could understand:

"Labor makes man free."
