Act II: The Mage's Tower

"The cost of going into town is 5 coins."

When Su Chen rode to the gate of Kasong City, he heard the soldier guarding the gate say this. As a tyrant with more than 1,000 gold coins on his body, Su Chen said heroically: I don't have change. In fact, up to now, Su Chen has not spent any money except for handing over a gold coin to the Welsh convoy, and even the place where he lives in Fort Northland is the hotel that Kodir found for him, so his gold coin has not been used at all.

But you want Su Chen to take out the gold coins in full view of everyone and give them change to the soldiers? Doesn't that mean telling the thieves that they're a big sheep? And just when Su Chen hesitated, the guard continued: "2 coins for people and 3 for horses. Then he looked at Su Chen with a calm face, as if he was waiting for him to pay the money. To be honest, 5 coins are really not expensive, there are copper coins on top of the coins, and silver coins on top of the copper coins; Gold...... Although the exchange ratio is not simply 1 to 100, the overall calculation of 5 coins is still not much stronger than the 5 yuan in later generations.

It's like taking the bus in a previous life and paying 1 or 2 yuan is not stressful for anyone.

And just when Su Chen was about to call the guards to a remote place to give him money to find it slowly, the guards suddenly saw the imprint on Su Chen's horse - this is undoubtedly a military horse, and military horses cannot be owned by civilians...... In other words, the person in front of him is likely to be a horse thief.

Without any hesitation, the guards raised their weapons and shouted loudly, "Come and catch this guy, he stole the horses!" ”

“……”

Su Chen suddenly felt a little painful, did he have to be arrested once every time he went to a new city?

……

In the end, of course, Su Chen did not fall to the point of entering the prison, and after a non-commissioned officer confirmed Su Chen's identity, such embarrassment disappeared. At the same time, the non-commissioned officer also respectfully sent Su Chen into the city. The Master Chief looked like a typical middle-aged soldier, and the pain in his body made him no longer as strong as he was when he was younger, but the experience made him a more difficult guy to deal with.

Su Chen was also a little curious if this 'Master Chief' was particularly good at saving the world.

Of course, this is also an old stalk in another world game.

However, to be able to achieve the level of a middle-level officer, this non-commissioned officer chief is indeed a very discerning person, perhaps not as brave and good at fighting as a soldier of the same rank in a well-known game "Halo" in Su Chen's previous life, but he can also see at a glance that Su Chen is a spellcaster - even if Su Chen is dressed like a traveler at this time, there will be no traveler who will go on the road alone in the same way as Su Chen. The wilderness is just as dangerous as the night, and when the two are combined, it's doubly terrifying.

Therefore, Su Chen can only be a spellcaster - of course, Su Chen has revealed more flaws, so I won't go into detail here for the time being. So the master chief spoke: "Lord of the city has encountered many problems recently, if you have time, you can go to the city hall and ask, we need more adventurers like you." ”

Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly-to be honest, his current level was about to reach level 6, and at level 6, he would be able to take up the position of Soul Warlock and part-time mage, an advanced profession of Ao Ling Master, so his plan was to get the profession of Ao Ling Master first, and then talk about it, and the rest of whether to go to the Shipwreck Island first or fight monsters and upgrade around here all depended on his mood.

"Then I'll go when I have time." After leaving such a guarantee, Su Chen led his horse out of the city fortress.

Although the city of Casong is not as good as the fort of the Northland, it is still very prosperous and lively. No, in some places, especially in terms of trade, it was more prosperous than Fort Northland. After all, whether it was a merchant from the north or a navigator from the southern islands, this is where they stop: the city of Casson. And this is also the closest city to the Shipwreck Island, and it just so happens that the Heathera that Su Chen is looking for is in this city, which is undoubtedly a lot easier.

But where do you begin your search for the location of Heathera's Arcane? Su Chen suddenly felt a little headache: most of these spellcasters were Shenlong who didn't see the end of the way, and it was undoubtedly a fantasy to pull a random person over on the street and ask where the archmage was.

So Su Chen led the horse and wandered around the city in confusion: he still didn't believe that an archmage actually lived in a city like this. After all, for mages who are very careful about their safety and concealment, the more stable the environment they are built in, the easier it is for them to study esoteric magic. It's not that no magic can build magic towers in cities, but mages who do do so must come from one place: the Arcane Empire. Therefore, building the magic tower in the sky city of the Arcane Empire can also make it more convenient to conduct arcane research and ensure the safety of your magic tower.

But this is not an Arcane Empire, but Franen, the realm of knights. Therefore, Su Chen expressed great puzzlement that Archmage Heathera would place his mage tower in such a place.

At this time, there were not many high-rise buildings in the city - in fact, it was obviously unrealistic for the general public to live in high-rise buildings today, when productivity was still stuck in the Middle Ages. So

Standing at the gates of the city of Casson, you can see that the interior walls of the city divide the old and new parts of the city. The town hall and the duke's mansion are among the city's most striking and tallest buildings, and even if it towers over the very center of the city, it is enough to take over the entire view of people when they look up. After walking into the interior of the city, the streets here were not as dirty as other human cities, and Su Chen even saw some green belts - although there were few, at least the rulers here were indeed pursuing the harmony between humans and nature. And that's exactly what the elves and druids were looking forward to.

In addition, the tallest building here is a minaret built next to the Duke's Palace. Could it be that Heathera really built the Mage's Tower in such a prominent place? So he asked a passer-by about it, and then the passer-by looked at Su Chen with the eyes of a cane-making child, and only after a while did he say, "Hethera is the wife of the city lord, where else can she be if she doesn't build the mage tower there?" ”

It turns out that it's really just a random person on the street to know! Su Chen suddenly felt his superficiality......
