Chapter 184: Travel 3

The city of Tarun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is a city located on an island, surrounded by a terrain a bit like Sicily, with an area of about 8,000 square kilometers and a total population of about 120,000, which is the largest island in the southern coastal area. The island's terrain is mostly hilly, with a warm and humid climate, and it is geographically a transit point for the southern route, rich in citrus, lemons and olives.

It was the first snow here when Stephen came.

Once in the vicinity of Talen, Stephen changed his costume and dressed up as a traveling adventurer. Due to its proximity to Black Bay, the island is populated by a large number of active adventurers, and other wizards can occasionally be spotted. Black Bay is rich in squid, squid, giant squid, and fish species live along the coast. This ancient amphibian intelligent creature has not been able to give birth to a higher racial civilization because of its incomplete evolution, but it is quite active in many worlds with its strong vitality and reproductive ability.

The symbol of the city of Tarun is obsidian.

There are many obsidian statues here, and obsidian evil wards and amulets are also sold. It is not uncommon for profiteers to pretend to be sorcerers selling amulets, either boasting that they have been mystically blessed by sorcerers to dispel the spirits of the dead.

For example, a guy dangling in front of Stephen in front of him.

This guy is called Bell, and he is wearing a dirty linen robe, and after seeing Stephen dressed as an adventurer, he took the initiative to come up and say, "Hey, look at your outfit to prepare for the Magic Eye Canyon, right?"

"Hear about me. Don't rush to go. ”

"A lot of people like you have passed away lately, but many of them haven't made it back alive. ”

"It's a weird place. There are many things that cannot be dealt with by force alone. I'll admit that you look strong, but there are a lot of things that aren't afraid of swords. I suggest you prepare some amulets, you see, these are treasures blessed by mysterious wizards, wear them and don't be afraid even if you encounter ghosts. ”

After speaking, Bell in front of him lifted his shirt, revealing dozens of obsidian ornaments hanging inside.

"MONOCULUS Canyon?" Stephen asked suspiciously, not looking at the obsidian ornaments.

Bell was surprised for a moment, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Hey." Don't you know, man, I thought you were a monster hunter!"

"MONOCULUS Canyon. ”

"It's a name that's only recently been called. It was a strange place, eerie, and there had been no one near it in the past, and now there were some monsters with huge eyeballs. ”

"To deal with them, the council of Taron City offered a bounty of 10 Kindler for an eyeball. ”

The existence of witchers has always been known to ordinary people.

More often than not, the occasional monsters are dealt with by witchers, who are a group of specially trained warriors with some means of dealing with monsters and spirits. Wizards are so cold that they don't like to interact with mortals at all if it's not something of value.

Stephen casually threw out a gold coin, then took an obsidian ornament and said, "Tell me about the Magic Eye Canyon." ”

Bell caught Kindler with amazing hand speed, then put it in his mouth and shook it with his black and yellow teeth, "No problem." As long as you wear my amulet, you don't have to worry about going to more dangerous places. ”

Stephen smiled disapprovingly, the obsidian ornament in his hand was an ordinary artifact.

What a bullshit wizard blessed!

There is no spell fluctuation on this thing, and the workmanship is very rough.

Soon, in the midst of this native's chatter, Stephen figured out the general situation of the Magic Eye Canyon, a place where anomalies had only recently occurred, and some strange corruption had inexplicably appeared. At first, no one cared, but after the disgusting and dangerous monsters were bred inside, the nobles of Tarun City became a little panicked.

But it's a pity!

Now that most of the wizards' energy has been attracted by the secret realm under the sea, there is no one to help in Tarun City for the time being, so they can only ask adventurers and witchers for help at a high price.

"Why does it sound like it's corrupted?" said Stephen to himself.

He shook off Bell, who wanted to sell a few more amulets next to him, and walked straight in the direction of the Adventurer's Tavern.

There is no mature adventure union system in this world, and many times it is only when something goes wrong that I think of asking adventurers for help, and the reason for this situation may be related to the fact that the status of wizards is too high, and the strength of ordinary adventurers is not enough and the status is low.

Black Reef Tavern.

Stephen had just pushed the door open and was scented with vomit inside, most of the taverns were in a terrible environment, and the one in front of him was not much better. His gaze swept inside, pausing for a moment over a table of sturdy sailors with scimitar daggers, who had the scent of a pirate.

- "Seducing humanity." ”

Stephen quickly found his target, a somewhat lewd and emaciated looking man, an intelligence dealer in the Aboriginal Tavern.

He wasn't interested in confronting these rats with the tokens, so he just threw them at a charmed human, and then said, "Tell me everything about the Magic Eye Canyon." Also, I need to know who controls the most obsidian veins in Talen. ”

The man's eyes were a little dull, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Demon Eye Canyon!"

"Oh, what the hell is it! I have three brothers who died over there! Damn ......"

"Don't talk nonsense. Get straight to the point. Stephen quietly applied a little psychic cue.

The spell of seducing humans has limitations.

It's not really a control mind, and if you encounter a chatter, you may be chattered by the other party for a long time.

Soon.

More specific information was asked by Stephen, and he also learned that the three merchants in Talen City controlled the most obsidian mines, and they were either from noble families or supported by local nobles, and controlled almost the vast majority of obsidian production.

"Let's go to the Magic Eye Canyon first. Stephen left the tavern as soon as he got the information he wanted.

Those obsidian mines can't run, and he's interested in the Magic Eye Canyon right now.

From the mouths of these aborigines, Stephen guessed that this place should be corrupted, and to be able to corrupt such a large area of land, ordinary monsters may not be able to do it.

It has to be at the level of an evil thing!

So far, Stephen has not really encountered an enemy, and the only one he has come close to is the monster hidden deep underground in the Dragon City mining area, and the strange mushroom forest is a special form of corrupted terrain. If it weren't for the fact that the secret realm under the sea had attracted too many people's attention, the situation here would have attracted the attention of wizards soon.
