Chapter 9: Magic Crystals
"You've been noticed by the Guards of the small town of Palaya, gain +3 reputation."
As soon as Alan walked into the small town of Palaya, a system prompt sounded in his head, and he checked his attributes a little, and now his reputation has risen to 15 points.
Personal reputation represents the adventurer's reputation in the Sacred Continent world, and the higher the reputation value, the higher the social attention that the person receives. Before Allen approached the legend, his reputation reached millions, and now he has more than a dozen points of prestige, and he is still unknown, and no one in this world pays attention to his reputation.
"Honorable caster, please forgive us for our rudeness." After checking Allen's identity, the sheriff respectfully returned the scroll of paper and said, "I'm Derian, the sheriff of the small town of Paraya, and I'm here to make amends for you." ”
When Alan heard this, he smiled: "The sheriff doesn't have to be polite, the duty of the chief is what it should be." Alan had a smile on his face, but his heart was quite calm. However, he carried these mounts all the way, and although the movement was big, he was still shocked by the quick reaction of the small town of Palaya.
A year later, a great change came, the Divine Grace Continent fell into turmoil, and many small towns inhabited by humans were insensitive to it because of hindsight, and finally fell quickly under the attack of the demons in the abyss. If every town had the ability to react in Palaya, perhaps the human race would be better off in the face of an invasion.
"Dear Lord Allen, maybe you can ask for ......," Sheriff Derian said with some reluctance to face Allen, "I beg your pardon, your mount is not allowed to enter the town. ”
Alan was stunned, but he also understood that this group of giant wolves entering the town might have a huge impact. So he said to the giant wolf who he often rides: "You wait for me outside the town, don't hurt passers-by, and wait for me to leave the town, and then come to greet me." ”
In his previous life, Eren had fought with several high-level beast tamers, and learned a lot of experience in taming beasts, and in the past half a month, in addition to hurrying, chasing monsters and cultivating skills, Eren spent a large part of his time training giant wolves every day.
The giant wolves raised by the orcs are of excellent breed and have a high intelligence, and they quickly learned all kinds of instructions from Allen, and even understood human speech to some extent. In the past, as a spellcaster, Eren could only ride small wild mounts such as reindeer, goats, and horses, until he entered the second order (level 30), and through spell skills, he was able to barely tame powerful beasts.
Now Allen's strength is as high as 27 points, so naturally there is no reason to ride a goat to wander around, which is also in line with Allen's adventurous and combative spirit.
Over the past few days, Alan's mount had gradually become the leader of the wolves, and when he saw Eren waving his hand, the wolf seemed to understand the meaning, lowered his head, and turned away from the city gate, followed by a group of giant wolves, followed by five horses.
"Great Warlock, your mount is really obedient." One of the guards was surprised.
Alan smiled: "I have learned some animal taming skills before, so these wolves are relatively well-behaved. ”
Seeing that this little master had a friendly attitude, everyone couldn't help but smile when they remembered the previous warning, and felt more cordial.
"Dear Lord Allen, I wonder why you came to the small town of Paraya?" Sheriff Derian asked.
"I just happened to be passing by, so I didn't want to bother you." Alan was surrounded by a group of guards, and he knew in his heart that the casters were extremely high among ordinary civilians, so it was not surprising.
"Warlock, please wait, and we'll tell the mayor of the town about it right away." Derian said that over the years, orcs had often invaded human towns, and the lords of various places had great respect for spellcasters and kept recruiting them. There is a warlock in the town who can command six giant wolves, and in any case, the mayor should be informed, not to mention, Shirley......
When Alan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he originally just wanted to find an inn in the town to rest, if it weren't for the "Alert Oolong" Alan wouldn't even have anything to do with the escort team. Now when I heard that the sheriff was going to inform the town of Paraya, I didn't feel the need.
"I have my own arrangements, so don't bother." Alan said coldly.
Delhi Anxin jumped and was slightly stunned, but he didn't answer immediately because of Allen's attitude.
Allen once had a hundred years of experience in the mage profession, and unconsciously, he cultivated the temperament of a high-ranking nobleman, and now although he is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, his posture remains unchanged in every move.
After a few words with the escort team, he left on his own, and soon found a small shop and stayed.
At the inn, Alan ordered a large glass of bitter ale, a plate of delicious roast venison, a fresh cod fillet, and various berries. A roasted deer leg weighs 20 pounds, and fresh cod meat weighs 5 pounds.
Generally speaking, I think that adults, eat 1 meal. 5 catties of meat is a lot, and when the guy in the store brought the dinner, he saw that Alan was alone, and his face was suddenly full of surprise.
Fresh food has an enticing aroma, roast venison is sizzling with oil, and cod is cold and steaming.
"Let's eat." Alan raised his knife and fork, heavily cut off a piece of venison, and stuffed it into his mouth. After some chewing, he took a sip of bitter ale, and soon picked up another slice of cod meat in his hand.
Alan has always been very fond of food on the Sacred Continent, but in the past, Eren definitely didn't have such a large amount of food. Since taking Wild Heart, Alan has found that he is eating more than one day at a time. It wasn't until the past two days that Eren suddenly realized that even a second-order warrior didn't have such a big appetite as himself.
Only high-level demonic beasts can only eat so much in one meal.
With his previous experience, Alan began to feel that the Wild Heart was probably not as simple as he imagined, and that this magical fruit might be far more than enough to transform adventurers, and that it might bring surprises to himself in the future. It seems that his body, which has half of the blood elf, still has a lot of room for development.
While thinking about things, he kept eating, and before he knew it, there was only a pile of bones left in a roast venison in front of Allen, and the cod plate was also a mess, and the bitter ale had already been drunk before it was resumed.
At this moment, Alan saw a figure outside the inn from a distance, it was the town sheriff Derian whom he had met in the evening. Derian held a bag wrapped in silk cloth in his hand and looked around. Passing by the door of the inn, he immediately retreated back with joy on his face.
Alan knew immediately that the sheriff might have come looking for him.
Sure enough, after Derian walked into the inn, he immediately came to Allen, and after saluting with the etiquette of a swordsman, he said, "Dear Lord Allen, it's a pleasure to see you again!" ”
Alan nodded and said, "What is Chief Derian looking for me?" ”
Derian looked at Alan and said seriously: "Lord Warlock, let us not disturb you, but as a subordinate, Derian still took matters into his own hands and told the mayor of the town your news. ”
Alan was still smiling and didn't say much. In the Holy Continent, the mayor of the town holds the right to collect taxes, defense and law enforcement in a region, and has great authority. In the evening, the gates of the town were under martial law, and it was reasonable for Derian to report the incident.
"As you intended, the town's esteemed Mayor Vidora did not come to disturb you." Derian continued, "It's a little bit of the mayor's heart. Derian placed the silk cloth wrap in his hand on the table, and when he opened it, there were three magic crystals inside.
Magic crystals are very valuable, they can replenish mana for spellcasters, and they are also an indispensable source of power for alchemy, alchemy, altars, and magic circles, and a fist-sized crystal can be sold for at least a hundred gold coins.
I was taken aback when I saw the town of Paraya take out three magic crystals at once, maybe this is more than half a year's tax revenue in the town! Of course, speculation is unintentional, and since you want to know, let's start asking.
"What does that mean?" Alan asked.
In the Holy Continent, many great lords have built mage towers and warlock towers in their territories, which enshrine powerful spellcasters. If Alan passed through such a territory and the other party took out three magic crystals, Alan would not be surprised at all. But this small town of Palaya is isolated on the edge of the forest, where did it get so much money?
Derian saw the change in Alan's face, and he didn't know what this warlock who could tame the giant wolf mount thought, but he came with a mission tonight, even if the little warlock was unhappy in his heart, for the safety of Shirley, Derian still had to say his purpose.
After all, it had been more than a year in the town, and he hadn't seen a single spellcaster, and the guards sent by the mayor to the Golden City had not returned yet, and Miss Shirley's situation could no longer be delayed.
"Honorable Warlock, this is a small gesture from the small town of Paraya, please accept it." Derian's expression was serious, and his tone was pleading.
Alan saw that Derian looked anxious, and he was also a little curious. I don't know what's going on with this sheriff, it's hard to say. Now that great changes are imminent, there are more or less phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense in all parts of the Holy Continent, which are difficult for ordinary civilians to solve. I don't know if what Derian is going to say has something to do with it.
Although Eren carries the nobility that the casters have accumulated for a long time, he has a very gentle temperament and never rejects people from thousands of miles away. Silently looked at the sheriff, waiting for his words.
Derian noticed the change in Alan's expression, and was in a state of excitement, and quickly spoke out the town's request......
