"Nima! Black shop! There is no doubt that when Fei Yun saw the price of water and food, he immediately began to scold his mother, because the price was too dark and too dark. Drinking water that can be taken for free in other places, but in this place of Yashan, it costs ten silver coins per liter of water, and Chen Kai and the others need at least a few hundred lifetimes of drinking water, which is dozens of gold coins.
Of course, this is not the blackest, the blackest thing is the price of the food here, the price of ordinary black bread is as high as one gold coin per kilogram, this price can already buy a very hearty dinner in some places, but here you can only buy a piece of black bread with wheat bran.
If you see that brown bread is expensive, you can buy flour directly, but flour is more expensive than bread. There was a lot of wheat bran in the rough flour, and there was not even ground wheat, but the price of such a bag of flour soared to fifty gold coins a bag, and the price was not bargained. A bag of flour is only 20 kilograms, which means that a kilogram of flour costs 2.5 gold coins.
If you buy better flour, the price will be even higher, and the price of ordinary fine white flour is as high as 100 gold coins per bag, and it is only 20 kilograms per bag. The price of a kilogram of flour is as high as five gold coins, which is simply unacceptable.
Even darker are meat, fruits and vegetables, looking at the pork that is full of flies and even maggots, Fei Yun can't believe that this kind of meat costs ten gold coins a catty, and the price of apples that look a little rotten is even higher. Half of the hundreds of gold coins in a basket of apples can be stuffed into your mouth, and this half still needs to be eaten with gritted teeth.
"Yelling what? Buy if you love it! Roll if you don't buy it! Don't bother me with my business, and don't touch my hands! Look at the look of your roe deer and rat eyes, you know that you are not a good person, you either pay for it or get out! After digging out something that looked black and snotty with his dirty fingers in his nostrils, the owner of the butcher shop rubbed it on the pork without paying attention. Looking at the pork stained with snot and boogers, Fei Yun instantly lost even the last bit of appetite.
But in the end, Fei Yun still paid for it, of course, he bought not pork but live pigs. A few stinking pigs were hung on ropes from the back of the carriage, and the humming sound disturbed the group in great depression. But this was the only way Fei Yun could think of to eat clean meat, after all, although live pigs needed to be disposed of, they were better than dead pork that was stained with something unknown. Of course, the price of live pigs is also extremely high, and even if these pigs are discounted, they cost Fei Yun a full five thousand gold coins. According to the purchasing power in the game. He could buy twenty or thirty pigs elsewhere.
After all the water, food, and fruits were bought, Chen Kai and the others had now spent at least ten times the budget amount, which made the gold coins that Chen Kai and his family had managed to keep once again enter the cordon. Looking at the gold coins in their pockets, everyone sighed, and while constantly scolding the black shop in their hearts, they gave up the idea of resting in Yashan for one night, and slowly passed through the gate of Yashan to the Western Great Wasteland and entered the narrow passage.
"! This black shop! Black Town, I won't come to such a dark place after killing Lao Tzu! Sitting in the carriage, Fei Yun kept cursing and swearing, because he was too excited, and the mole that was sticking under his chin fell off. However, Fei Yun did not show up for this. But not far away, a player who happened to be passing by saw it. He watched the extremely ugly-looking mole on the corner of a businessman's mouth, who had been extremely obscene a second ago, disappear, although it was a little obscene after the mole was gone, but it looked much more pleasing to the eye. However, this player didn't care, because disguise is very common in the game, and it wasn't until he arrived in Lockdilovs and some players who were looking for Chen Kai and others in the town that they were drinking and talked about it, and Chen Kai's whereabouts were revealed. But that was days later.
Due to the extremely high mountain gorges on both sides, it is a bit slow to travel on such a road. The hooves of the kicking horses kept pounding on the rocky pavement, and the wheels of the heavy wagons crunched against the pavement. Under the gradually westward sunshine, Chen Kai's carriage slowly approached the extremely familiar and dangerous place of the Western Wilderness.
Of course, because they had to cross the entire wasteland, they could not take the extremely dangerous road, but took the simple trade route that had already been carved out by the merchants. Although the Great Western Wilderness is extremely dangerous. But there were always brave and unafraid merchants who traveled across the wasteland to the westernmost part of the Hansting Empire to trade in order to save time. Chen Kai's map in their hands came from the hands of such merchants, of course, those merchants would never buy the most accurate map to Chen Kai and them, but made a simple version. Undoubtedly, the biggest difference between this kind of map and the map used by the merchants themselves is that the map is not careful enough, and it lacks a lot of things, such as where is a safe resting place, where is dangerous, and so on.
But this is already the most detailed map that Chen Kai and the others can buy, and of course the price is quite expensive. Even this kind of mutilated version of the map costs thousands of gold coins, and it seems that players don't buy it because of the loss that players watch with video recordings, and the map is not shown until Chen Kai and they pay the gold coins. The only feeling that this map gave Chen Kai was that they had lost. Because at least one-third of the areas on the map have maps in their hands, which means that for Chen Kai, they are really useful only for the remaining two-thirds.
It's a pity that after the map transaction was successful, the merchant was unwilling to return, so Chen Kai and the others could only grit their teeth and leave the store with the map. In fact, the description of the Western Wilderness in the first third of this map is not as detailed as the map recorded by Chen Kai and the others, but the map of the area around Yashan Chen Kai and the others do not have it, and they can only believe the map bought in the store.
Of course, at first, this section definitely doesn't need to rely on the map, and although the winding roads are extremely narrow, you may even encounter players and adventurers returning from the wasteland. But that's the way around, and it's relatively safe. So when the degree dropped, Chen Kai and the others happily let the horses go slowly, because no matter how hard they urged, it was difficult for these horses to go fast.
When it was completely dark, Chen Kai and the others also walked out of the winding isthmus. Entered the Great Western Wilderness. Located at the exit of the Isthmus is a very rudimentary camp with a campfire and no doubt some adventurers and players who spend the night in the wasteland. Seeing this situation, Chen Kai and the others also chose to slowly drive the carriage into the camp and stopped in a slightly free place in the camp.
It was extremely strange for a few people dressed as merchants to come to these adventurers, because Chen Kai and they didn't hire mercenaries to protect them, but when they saw the dwarven musketeers with muskets, they understood a little. However, just in case of accidents, only three or four dwarves appeared outside the carriage. The rest of the people were still shrunk in the carriage like Chen Kai.
This is Chen Kai's most depressed place, although the camp is very safe, but it is also full of people, and he can only continue to spend a long and helpless night in the aggrieved carriage without revealing his own purpose. Fortunately, the carriage was large enough for Chen Kai to lie in it without being too uncomfortable, of course, the carriage he was riding in now was not the carriage of a few elven mages, because he basically accounted for most of the carriage alone.
A few elven mages, a few dwarven musketeers, and a few human warriors were undoubtedly not very strong guards, but they were enough to make the adventurers around them fearful. An adventurer who originally had a peep. After seeing the two elven mages, he immediately chose to hide.
At the same time, when Fei Yun was shuttling through the camp, he saw a scene that made him angry, that is, he saw a spring in the camp, and several extremely familiar buckets were on the edge of the spring. Looking at the sign of the merchant to which the waterwheel belonged, he understood even more that this was the place where the merchant who sold water to him carried water. But in the face of the five big and three rough thugs around him, although Fei Yun was extremely angry in his heart, for the sake of safety, he could only helplessly hold his breath back into his stomach.
"! Profiteer! O profiteers! Fei Yun, who ran back to the camp, shouted depressedly, and then told the others what he had seen. There is no doubt that the only thing everyone feels when they hear this news is anger, which is simply cheating people.
"! If it weren't for the fact that it was to hide the traces, Lao Tzu would definitely kill those profiteers! Fei Yun sat on the edge of the carriage angrily, of course, his words were shouted in the team channel, if he shouted in the camp, he would be targeted in the next moment. After all, although the camp is full of vulgar adventurers, it is absolutely unpopular to shout at every turn that they want to kill others.
Eventually, Chen Kai and his team slaughtered all the pigs in the camp, salted them and stuffed them into their backpacks, and the hundreds of liters of water they had purchased were doubled with the help of the springs in the camp. With this clear water, they can make it easier to drink water when they pass through the Guò wasteland, and there is no need for a few elven mages to spend magic to summon water elementals to make water.
In the midst of the chaos, the whole camp fell silent again. As soon as the first rays of the sun shone down in the morning, Chen Kai and the others began to leave the camp. There is no doubt that they were not the first to leave, as there were many more who preceded them. These early and late adventurers form the most basic part of the entire game world, and many players are also involved in working hard for their dreams of making money in the game or indulging in the enjoyment of life in the game.
Chen Kai: They need to dress up as businessmen, naturally it is impossible to sleep until three poles in the sun and then leave the camp, not to mention such a businessman, it is not bad to make money and not lose money. So they started preparing before the sun came up, and in order to play the role of a good merchant, they had carefully read a lot of records of the aboriginal merchants in the game, and basically did all kinds of responses. So although it was a little uncomfortable in the early days, especially after they tossed and turned for most of the night, in the end, the rickety carriage left the camp and drove slowly towards the other side of the Great Western Wilderness just as the sun was rising.
There was no doubt that when the carriage had completely left the camp area. Chen Kai: They began to gradually relax, although there were still some adventurers passing by on the road, but as the quality of the road became worse and worse, they began to gradually enter the hinterland of the wasteland, and after encountering fewer people. Later, when the monsters unique to the wasteland began to increase, I didn't see a single person for several hours.
At this time, Chen Kai and the others really got rid of Barbat's shadow, unless Barbat left Kandorhat immediately and chased into the wasteland, otherwise he didn't want to catch up with Chen Kai and them at all, and even if he chased over and wanted to find a few carriages in the huge wasteland, it was not better than looking for a needle in a haystack. Of course, this is just Chen Kai's wishful thinking, and they are also very aware that there are some special ways in the game to find them directly. Take astrology, for example. It's not particularly accurate, but there will always be times when it's successful, otherwise the astrologer won't be able to save the game at all.
It's just that Barbat definitely can't afford to hire astrologers, because most of them are kept by the royal families of various empires or kingdoms. Balbat would never have been able to get an astrologer, and the only thing he could do was have the wizard among the players constantly divination using the lowest level of divination. Without any clues, he could now only trust the terrible divination of these wizard players.
"Say it! What was the result of the divination this time? Barbat looked at the players in front of him with a gloomy face, to be honest, if it weren't for the players below who hadn't found clues for so long, he wouldn't have turned his mind to these unreliable divination.
"Newspaper... Report to your lord! In this divination, seven out of ten divination shows that the opponent is in the south. There are two times when the target is in the east and once when the target is in the west! Proportionally, the target is now most likely hidden somewhere in the south! Wiping the sweat from his forehead, there is no doubt that this wizard player is definitely Yali Mountain at this moment.
"Are you sure?" Barbat played with this golden wine glass, which was decorated with a large number of precious stones, and looked extremely luxurious. At the same time, he had a smile on his face, as if he was extremely kind, but the wizard player who was standing not far away was sweating when he saw this smile.
"No... Are you sure! Frightened by the breath of chanting, he felt a little incoherent, and his heart felt a little out of control. The breathing gradually became rapid, and the cold sweat on the head was like a waterfall flowing down.
"Are you sure or not sure?" Barbat's smile became brighter, but the hand holding the wine glass grabbed it hard, and the gold zuò gem-inlaid wine glass was directly pinched and deformed by him, and this time the player wizard stammered even more.
"No... Are you sure! No! It's not sure! In the end, he still didn't have the courage to admit that he was sure that he was targeting the South, and after he finished speaking, the golden wine glass of the transformation smashed into his head. In an instant, his head was smashed and bleeding.
"! I'm not sure if I don't want to do divination again! Rubbish! Under Balbat's scolding, the player walked out of the room in a gloomy manner, of course, when he turned around, he had scolded Barbat countless times in his heart, but unfortunately, he still had to lower his head in order to earn Barbat's mission bounty for money.
"Nero Aru, where the hell are you!" Watching the wolf bèi escape from the room, Barbat resentfully sat on his gold-inlaid and silver-encrusted chair, which had been dug out of the ruins of the Candorhat Lord's Mansion, and was said to be Hartkaner's chair. Now, of course, it's an exclusive seat under Barbat's butt, and he's very fond of it. But like to return to like Barbat has not forgotten his own task. If he can't find Nero Aru, then his outcome will definitely not be good, neither Ness nor the one behind him will let him go.
Balbat's eyes were not focused, and he was so anxious that he even slept at the question. In the case of extreme anxiety, he became more and more irritable, and the original few noble girls had already been killed, and there was no one left.
While Barbat was constantly anxious, the entire city of Candorhat had been completely transformed into a breeding ground for evil creatures. A large number of evil creatures gathered in the city, and Yaborah's body became larger and larger after a few days of accumulation, and even walking made the ground tremble. The huge size is due to the fact that Yabora has eaten too much in recent times, not only because it has absorbed a lot of negative evil forces. At the same time, eating a lot of food also made his body larger and fatter. Behind Yabora, there were originally only its father, Baron Apollo, and the old butler, but now there are many new faces, there is no doubt that they are all evil creatures that have evolved to be controlled by it, and their body shape is strange, not to mention their combat power, and they are even more terrifying.
The entire Candorhat player knows how terrifying the battle of the dozen or so elite-level evil spirit creatures behind Yabora is, because Yabora once had players fight monsters in order to test the combat power of these monsters. When fighting against a monster, hundreds of players rushed up and were blown away by each other's blows. Of course, this blow definitely didn't kill hundreds of players, and it was an attack released with a charged charge, but even this already scared the players in the city. After all, there are more than a dozen such monsters behind Yabora. And there are tens of thousands of the same evil creatures in the entire city of Candorhat.
There is no doubt that the players who originally thought that they could get a lot of say in Candorhat have now taken the initiative to lower their status by a large margin, and they can't afford to mess with the Black Knight Taijun, and now they can't afford to mess with the huge number of evil creatures. So now players are getting honest in Candorhat, because they now have a lot of things they can't afford to mess with. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
