Chapter 78: The Strange Bookstore
In this small town of Vuitton, the first feeling is murderous, but the second feeling is dilapidated and desolate.
The speed of the people walking around is very fast, and the sword hanging on the body can be unimpeded, indicating that the martial spirit here is very strong, probably because this is a border area, and there will be battles from time to time.
The house is not short, the tallest house that Ning Lang can see is even more than 20 stories high, and it is probably not a simple place to be able to stand and survive in such an environment.
Ning Lang looked around and didn't see any beggars, and he didn't know if he had been driven away or if there was no here, and even whether he would be sent to the army as a death squad, these were all possible.
The clothes Ning Lang was wearing had already been changed from the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, and he was now wearing a suit of leather armor, which was from the relatively intact equipment in the frozen forest, and the few sets he had reserved were now being used.
This is not much different from the armor worn by the people around you, and even if there are some of them, they will only be considered unconventional - after all, as armor, they are basically the same, and they are designed to protect themselves.
But the dress on Kiki's body is a little out of place, but there are also similar things like skirts in the town, but the patterns and colors are not as bright as hers, Ning Lang has nothing to do about this, but can only tell the other party that he bought it from a distant place if someone smells it later.
After all, that's what most of the fiction says, isn't it? As for the excuse that will be punctured later, let's talk about it at that time, anyway, the time here should only be 30 days, and there will be life-threatening things, so there is not much point in caring about this.
Ning Lang walked back and forth in the town with Kiki in his arms, observing everything here, his identity was also arranged in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, and he was an adventurer from other parts of the empire.
The identity of an adventurer is very popular, and basically a civilian can call him an adventurer when he takes up a weapon and walks out.
Therefore, in this world, the level of adventurers is actually very low, and adventurers with some strength will generally become noble soldiers, and more powerful ones will become guest secretaries.
This is the system of this society, so that the people at the bottom can have a way to live a good life - as long as you have the strength.
As a rare mage, they are more enviable than melee fighters who can only wield their weapons, and any mage who can unleash spells, even if he is only a mage apprentice, can be treated far better than they are, especially since the official mage has become an honor equal to the title of Lord.
This information was pieced together by Ning Lang after walking around the town for a long time, but he kept walking around like this, which also aroused the suspicion of the guards patrolling the streets.
"Stop!"
Finally, after Ning Lang came again and went around in a circle, a small group of soldiers surrounded him, and the captain of the soldiers aimed his spear at him: "Who are you, where are you from, what are you doing here!" ”
"My name is Simpson, and I'm an adventurer."
Simpson was the name given to him by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws in this mission world, although it reminded him of the protagonist of a foreign film, but in such a Western fantasy world, it was much more recognized than Ning Lang.
"Adventurers?"
The soldier chief frowned, there have been frequent wars recently, and some adventurers who are not strong enough have already fled from here, and the adventurers who are still here at this time naturally have no need to say much about their strength, they are all high-level adventurers.
They just want to take the opportunity to make some war money, and of course their strength must be outstanding. Now the black-haired adventurer in front of the soldier commander made him a little unsure of the other party's strength, if it was strong, his attitude on his side should at least be relaxed.
"Yes, an adventurer who just arrived here."
Ning Lang said with a smile, his hair is relatively normal, and he saw a lot of people with black and brown hair when he walked around the town just now, so he didn't make any changes. It's just that my face shape is a little different from that of people in this world, which is a more troublesome thing. But fortunately, the soldier in front of him didn't seem to have much knowledge, and obviously let go of this problem.
"In that case, welcome to the town of Vuitton."
The soldier commander smiled a little and said, being able to come here when the war is coming, it shows that this adventurer has a strong self-confidence, maybe his strength can play a big role in this war.
As a human, the Captain didn't suspect that the other party wanted to do anything against the overall situation, he was only worried at first that the other party was trying to steal or something.
"Please wait."
Ning Lang stopped the soldier commander who was about to leave, and said to the other party with a puzzled expression: "I want to know where there is a store suitable for selling some special things, and some gadgets I got from other places, and I am going to exchange them for a little money to spend." ”
Ning Lang took out a plastic lighter and fired it in front of the other party, but unexpectedly found that the other party did not have a too strange expression, which made him understand in his heart that there should be similar products here.
But despite the similarity, the shell of the plastic lighter obviously aroused his interest, and it seemed that such a product was not available to everyone, so the soldier commander only glanced at it enviously and said, "This thing is different from what I used to see, it's quite expensive." ”
After expressing some envy, he told Ning Lang a few suitable places.
"At the end of the street is the 'Ale of Pyssen', which is a very crowded inn that also serves adventurers. You should know that this thing doesn't sell for much there. It's a good idea to sell to Baron Vuitton, the owner of Vuitton, or head to the alchemy shop not far ahead, where you might be satisfied with the price. ”
After Ning Lang asked Baron Vuitton about how much he would buy, he walked directly to the alchemy shop - the price that the baron could pay was only about ten gold dills, but the alchemy shop could give the price of 20 gold dirs.
Of course, this price is only the estimate of the soldier commander, and the answer given according to what they have done between them in the past, but this is enough, Ning Lang does not want to contact the supreme leader of this town for the time being, he needs more information about this world.
"Angus's alchemy shop, this is it."
Ning Lang stood in front of a small shop that was a little lively, watching the situation outside—every few minutes, someone would come in from other places, buy something and leave happily.
This town is not big, and the population is about 3,000 people, and it can generate such a flow of people in such an environment, which can show that this small shop is really very popular.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that it's already early afternoon, and people who had gone out on expeditions have returned to sell materials to buy tomorrow's stockpiles.
On the edge of the alchemy shop, there was a small bookstore, which Ning Lang didn't expect, so he didn't enter the alchemy shop for the time being, but came to the bookstore.
The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man in his forties, who frowned after seeing Ning Lang come in, without any enthusiasm, and was doing his own thing.
The books in the store are placed on the shelves in rows, and the price is clearly marked, so that Ning Lang can understand how high the price of books is in this world.
The teaching materials of some warriors and swordsmen are at least about 10 Jindil, and some of the basic training methods of mages are several times this.
Even the cheapest travelogue price fluctuates around 1 Jindir.
After a few laps around the town, Ning Lang learned that one Jindir is about a month's worth of food for people - although it is only basic bread and water and some barbecue, most of the people here have such a standard of living.
Even if he was the soldier commander who showed him the way just now, his salary was only about 5 Jindir, and he could only afford a cheap soldier textbook without eating or drinking for two months.
And the soldier is already a relatively wealthy class in this small town, and he can be regarded as a middle class, and there will be no more than three digits richer than him.
Therefore, in addition to the people at the top of this town, the only people who can buy books without blinking are those who are powerful adventurers from outside, because they need to be strong in their own ways to spend money and money, and it is very possible to buy books.
But Ning Lang is now dressed as an adventurer, and even richer than most adventurers - because only rich people can make unusual outfits, and normal adventurers will only buy standard equipment.
But a person like himself didn't even get any response from the other party when he came in, which made Ning Lang a little suspicious in his heart, he hadn't forgotten that there was a great danger in this town, maybe this bookstore owner was dangerous...... One?
And Ning Lang found that when he was looking at the books at will, the other party actually allowed his own behavior, which increased the suspicion of the other party even more. But Ning Lang didn't make any moves, gently put down the books in his hand, and walked out of the bookstore.
Before leaving, Ning Lang glanced back at the bookstore again, the boss was still doing his own thing, and he didn't make any moves.
With this place as an important marker in his heart, Ning Lang walked towards the alchemy shop next to him.
