"Spending money on disasters? It seems that the managers of 'Ulrique' really know how to generate income! Rielly looked at her purse, "Barrett, do you know how much the fine is there?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the penalty each time is 100 gold for a level 1 spell, 200 gold for a level 2 spell, and so on." Barrett nodded.

Hearing the specific regulations, Rielly suddenly felt angry and jumped to her feet: "Waiting for the level 1 spell penalty will cost 100 gold coins, and the result is that the level 9 spell penalty is only 900." This is obviously discriminating against people! ”

"Who let those who can cast more than 5 rings of spells, most of them are high-level people in their respective organizations! Even the Garfield family, who run 'Ulrique', don't want to have a big conflict with them in this regard. Barrett spread his hands and said it was completely out of the question.

Don't look at the price of 100 gold for each level of spell, it seems to be very fair. In fact, the gap is by no means simply measurable by coefficients. To say that the value of the spell is a ring, the lowest spell scroll is only 25-30 gold. The lowest selling price of the Nine Rings' spell scrolls on the continent is also above 4,000. These spells also have additional costs that must be spent depending on the materials required for the spell itself.

In fact, not to mention the actual 8 or 9 ring spells, if the total cost of the scrolls exceeds 3000 gold, such spell scrolls are usually unavailable. Even with the cheaper spellcasting services, not every town can find a caster of sufficient level.

Generally speaking. Small towns or large settlements can find spellcasters who cast first-level spells; The town can find a caster who casts second-level spells; Spellcasters who cast or level 4 spells can be found in small towns; Ayutthaya can find spellcasters who cast level 5 or 6 spells; Spellcasters who cast level 7 or 8 spells can be found in the city. Caster who can cast ninth-level spells is very rare even in the city,

And in many cases, if you want to get the spell-casting services of high-level mages, money alone is often not enough. For example, an introducer with status. or the exchange of interests in other areas, etc., are often necessary conditions. What's more, if the caster disagrees with the requester in terms of religion, morality, or politics, I am afraid that no matter how high the reward is, please do not move.

Summing up all this information, it is not difficult to conclude that the social attention of 'Ulrik' was very influential. The little mage who has just started may even be hurt by one of his miscasts, but it is just a little pocket money for the ** master. It is the strong who enjoy superior power, and the weak who don't even care whether they live or die.

Rielie wasn't stupid after all, and Barrett couldn't figure out what was going on. I saw her pat her forehead: "It seems that what kind of spell will be chosen at that time." It's time to make a good choice. ”

"Speaking of Rieli, during the time I've been away. Haven't you been able to find the right mage organization, so it's a good opportunity to head to 'Ulrik'. As the capital of Norhan, most of the open mage organizations on the Western Continent have branches and offices there. Barrett continued solemnly. Among those of us, you and Noodles are closer to the advanced conditions! It's okay for Noodles to have the Good Dragon God Church to rely on, but Rielly, why don't you have a sense of urgency! ”

"How do you know I don't have a sense of urgency. Not to mention the mage organizations that will be attracted by the auction. Those bastards had no intention of beckoning to Poitou again. After the auction ended, he left immediately without even having a small exchange meeting in private. As she said this, Rielly looked aggrieved: "I don't even have a chance to have a relationship with them." How is it possible to get an assessment in this case? ”

Barrett is in a hurry to travel to the Pamirs to complete his advanced mission. Therefore, after the auction, he left the Boreham Territory very quickly, and it was naturally impossible to understand what the mage organization did after the end. And during the time he returned to the territory, Barrett did not have any doubts about that aspect of the matter - no one would have taken the initiative to mention this information to Barrett if he had not raised the question himself.

So Barrett, who heard this, immediately frowned, "Something is wrong with this situation!" There's no reason for those mage organizations to be in such a hurry! Is it in a place where we can't see it. Is something terrible happening? ”

While it is often said that a teacher's time is precious, it is only relative. And for the mage, the communication between them is also precious. Countless sparks of inspiration burst out in the spitting and spitting of the road. Why is the mage organization stronger than the wild mage who fights alone. In addition to a complete inheritance system, there is a more abundant supply of resources. Beyond the convenient trading channels. Communication between mages of the same level is also very important.

However, it is not as convenient as it is for different mage organizations to communicate with each other. It is a rare auction in Poittu that brings together many organizations. For those high-level mages who have reached a dead end, how can they not take this opportunity to get together and have a good time. That's why the situation Rielly just mentioned doesn't seem to be the norm.

"Barrett, what's the use of worrying about that. Even if something big really happens, it's obviously not something we can mix! "Claudia on the side. Auditore looked at the two men who had suddenly fallen silent.

Rielly, who was the first to raise her head, reached out and pinched her best friend's face: "Although it can't be mixed, the risks that you know in advance are more or less an opportunity to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!" ”

"That's right! Although in the game, high risk means high reward. But if the high risk is more than we can bear, it's better to stay away. "Claymatis. Bot nodded at this time.

But after thinking about it, Barrett, who didn't find out what happened on the mainland during that time, said helplessly: "We have very little information that we can access now. Something is even a wire. It's really hard to keep going. ”

"In that case, don't worry about Barrett. We should know, and we will know when the time comes. "Claymatis on the side. Bot explained.

Barrett didn't expect that he would be fired one day. Although in fact he did not dwell on this matter. But the kindness of his companion is not easy for him to refute directly. For this reason, he can only change the topic bluntly: "Okay, let's go and prepare now!" You should know that the price of 'Ulrique' is much higher than that of Poitou. Some of the expenses that don't have to wait there, let's do it now! ”

"Anyway, the spread shouldn't be a problem for us now!" Claudia. Auditore was clearly a little unhappy with Barrett's petty performance.

"Claudia, don't say that, we're still little people in the game. You can still save that expense! "Claymatis. Bot touched his belt, "I wonder if those scrolls of 'Conversation of the Dead' can be sold for a good price in 'Ulrike'." ”

"Anyway, when did you become so stingy. Didn't Barrett just get that big-value gold ticket back? "Claudia. Auditore looked at his friend in disbelief.

"That's because Claudia, you're lucky. It's a class system that doesn't consume much resources. But the 'Wealth and Commerce' I am in is completely naked money transactions at an advanced level! "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot sighed. "If you don't start preparing now, I'm afraid it will take a little time to buy with credits in the future!"

"No matter how greedy you are for money when you die. It's also much better than our duckweed. Rielly said angrily. Although she doesn't usually make much money, in fact, this female mage is still having a headache for her own organizational problems!

At that moment, Barrett clapped his hands, "Anyway, our next destination is 'Ulrike'." We'll even stay there for a longer period of time. There will also be some unprecedented challenges. I hope you are well prepared. Don't drop the chain when the time comes. ”

Of course, if you really want to be prepared, you can't just talk about it. After the meeting, the players began to make a big purchase in Poitou. Barrett had a limited selection of potions that could be used, as well as some alchemy bombs for throwing. Noodle Xiao directly bought a 'Defeat the Enemy' magic wand, apparently preparing to enhance his sniping ability. And the few spellcasters in the team naturally lingered in the pile of spell scrolls.

Early the next morning, Barrett went to the Boreham Comptoir to find out when the caravan would depart and what you had arranged. Fortunately, the departure time of the caravan was not very urgent, and Barrett and his party actually got two days of rest. This was a bonus.

The first time players participate in the caravan's escort mission in the game is from the warehouse in Poitou. However, compared to that time, the experience of the players can be said to be much richer. Not only will it not rely on Barrett's relationship as it did at the beginning, but it will completely rely on the arrangement of the caravan steward. It can even be a small help in the operation of the caravan.

The next nearly a month of running business was also boring and boring for players! Compared to the previous caravan to the northern city-states. This time, the journey was uneventful all the way inside the kingdom of Norhan and far from the frontier. This line is a pity for the Norhan Kingdom, and apart from the tax cards of some territories, the caravans have not stopped at all.

An army belonging to the kingdom. The armies of the lords everywhere sifted through the surroundings of this golden trade route like a plow. Not to mention any bandits, even a lone horse thief would not dare to stay here too long. Not to mention organizing people to find trouble with those caravans. Because of this, this escort movement has completely become a spring outing. The only things that make people feel unbearable are the snakes, insects, rats and ants that can be seen everywhere in the wild in summer, and there are slightly pitted surfaces.

After more than 20 days of turbulence, players were finally lucky enough to meet the final level guarding 'Ulrique'. The entire wall in front of you is made of huge obsidian stones and reinforced with adhesive. Even Barrett knew that the foundations and other critical areas were reinforced with cold forged steel.

In order to increase the defensive firepower as much as possible. On this wall were built two huge storey towers. They were covered with shooting holes, and they looked like pitch-black eyes of death. But it's really dangerous. It was the slightly protruding battlements, the downward shooting holes and the defensive equipment—the cold and dangerous aura lingered for a long time, only the guards patrolling up and down the battlements and the banners fluttering in the wind on the central tower filled it with a few wisps of vitality and life.

In the center of the city walls is a huge gate that is more than nine meters high, and the two panels appear to be made of cast iron. But Barrett knew very well that it was nothing more than teak wrapped in a thick layer of iron. After all, the human kingdom is not as rich in mineral deposits as races like dwarves, and all iron is not cheap in this day and age - good steel needs to be used on the edge of a knife.

The real defensive function was the gate at the top, which was entirely cast from cast iron, and the bottom was full of sharp fences. It is said to weigh 12,000 pounds, so much so that several bulky winches were placed on the castle tower to control its opening and closing.

At the gates of the city, stood a group of aboriginal guards. They wore round helmets on their heads, with large scales hanging from the brim that covered their necks. He wears light chain mail over a thick cotton robe, and holds an axe and spear in one hand and a diamond-shaped iron-clad wooden shield in the other.

The guards were covered with sleeveless shirts made of linen and embroidered with the coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Nohan. Similarly, their shields are depicted with a red-dintermic heraldic motif, consisting mainly of a white eagle wearing a crown and a white knight holding a blue shield. Because the coat of arms is mainly red and white, the cloth robes worn by soldiers are also based on these two colors.

"It's finally here! Nohan's new capital, 'Ulrik'. More than two years ago, it seemed to be the border between the kingdoms of Norhan and Lucia. Now it's a drunken metropolis. Barrett, who was standing in the carriage, sighed as he looked at the line waiting to enter the city. (To be continued)
