Chapter Twenty-Three: The Upcoming Drama
Speaking of being a blacksmith, John estimated that he needed at least a house with a yard. John reckoned that first of all, there should be a sleeping room, although he could not use it, there should be a workshop for striking iron, and the workshop seemed to be renovated, after all, the temperature in the iron furnace was not low, and it was easy to have an accident without a certain temperature insulation, and it was necessary to buy iron felt and hammers, and there must be a storehouse, otherwise there would be no place to put ore, and you must not build it and go to the market to buy a few ores, right? If it is a blacksmith shop that gets all the customization at the beginning, it is estimated that few people will come back to buy it themselves, and the customized thing is not at the same price as ordinary mass products, and without seeing how your craftsmanship is, not many people will take out a lot of money to make a bet, right?
In this way, the house price alone is not a small amount. In addition, the renovation fee of the workshop, the cost of materials, and the purchase cost of the home, which one does not cost a lot of money. The most important thing is the cost of buying all kinds of food, it's hard to get a big city, there must be no less food there than in Betty City, right? Somehow John feels like he's getting closer to Eldridge, will he eventually become the legendary god of eating?
He shook his head, as if he wanted to get these weird thoughts out of his head.
Having said all this, John naturally thought of the bounty proposed by the church. Thinking that half of his money for weapons had been used to buy meat pies and onion bisques from the Grey Forest Bar, John didn't think that the other half would be able to buy a house with a yard and several rooms, or in the city. Then the first thing to do is to have money. John originally planned to go to Nimitz to find a blacksmith shop and rent a stove to build a few pieces of equipment before looking for a house, just like in Betty. But John also knew that it wasn't easy. First of all, most blacksmith shops don't rent out stoves, and if you rashly go to the blacksmith shop to make this request, it will be regarded as a provocation, and you will be scolded lightly, and it is very likely that you will fight directly. Secondly, even if someone is willing to let themselves rent a stove and build their own equipment, there is no way to sell it, and if they place an order to sell it at a blacksmith shop, they will have nowhere to go during the time when they buy and sell weapons and equipment, and in the end, it will be very troublesome to buy a house by themselves. However, these are not the main things, John thought of the "Gemero's Holy Power Crystal" that had been placed in his backpack. This thing can be seen from the name alone, and the equipment and miracle materials blessed by the priest in the back are something that John has never seen before. No matter how you think about it, you can't deal with something like this in someone else's place. Therefore, having your own workshop is the only option.
John, who was still worried about money, was naturally overjoyed to learn that he could still receive a large bounty. So, John thought about it and agreed.
John was chatting with the vice-captain here, and there was a fight between the mercenaries and adventurers over there. Both sides have given up looking for reasons, all of them have seen that they are either their own people or all of them, and they do not reserve their hands when they punch, and they don't hit their chests if they can hit the head. Except for the lack of weapons, the two sides had entered a state of full-scale combat, and it was useless to persuade the Templars next to them, and the scene got out of control for a while.
The noise over there reached John, and John and the vice-captain naturally couldn't talk any further, so they turned their heads to look over there.
Looking at the people in the crowd over there, John couldn't help but want to laugh. What peace, John sighed. There was no such peaceful fight in that world, and John had never tried it.
The vice-captain was not very happy with the appearance of his team on the side, and had decided to double the training volume of this group of guys when he returned to the cathedral.
Early the next morning, the bruised-faced mercenaries and adventurers limped towards Betty City after collecting their "errand money" from the Templars. Lawrence and the other surviving merchants led the carriage and set off for the city of Nimitz with their tragically deceased companions. Originally, the Templars invited John to accompany him, but John refused.
When everyone was gone, John turned and walked into the cave. Originally, John wanted to see it after feeling that it might be a lost temple, but because of many people, he resisted the urge. Now that everyone is gone, John is naturally going to see it.
Returning to the temple hall the same way he came, John found that it had been cleaned by the Templars, and he barely felt the cold, damp feeling of Jemiro.
"It's a miracle, it's really funny. John sighed. In the past, John's path to fire was blocked by many enemies, and in order to defeat them, John had to learn various weapons, combat skills, and so on. After defeating the incarnation of the Salary King for the first time, John thought that because of his fire, he used himself as firewood to continue to burn, so that the world could continue to exist, but he didn't expect that he would be awakened by the bell again after a while, and the enemy he faced was still the enemy he had killed, and even everyone in the fire sacrifice ground didn't know him. If it weren't for the fact that his abilities hadn't decreased, and that his backpack naturally kept items from his past, John would have even wondered if his past was real.
However, after battling his past enemies, John found that the strength of those enemies had increased, which forced John to learn again. I don't know how many times this was repeated, John got tired of the endless fire, and then John began to use common sense to extinguish the flames, usurp the flames, or become the Lord of Darkness, but no matter what, when John fell into a deep sleep, there would always be a bell to wake him up.
After that, John stopped pursuing fire and began to find his own joy in the world, such as using stealth skills and the Sleeping Dragon Emblem Ring to observe the activities of other creatures in the world, and using charm to control different creatures in various regions and let them fight each other to find the stronger ...... Then, when these were no longer enough for John, John began to try to understand the world. And the best way to understand the world is, of course, the records of those who came before us. From then on, John began to have an endless curiosity about the various books and monuments in the world.
John walked into the temple, walked past the fountain that had been filled with blood, and walked deeper. When John entered the main hall of the temple, John felt that the attraction of the temple to him had increased significantly. Following this attraction, John's first sight was naturally the idol facing the main door of the temple.
Unlike the previous one, there were not one, but four side by side, and they were not badly damaged, and John could tell from the existing statues that they were four goddesses. Except for the slightly different relief totems on the clothes, the four goddesses are almost identical. According to what the two siblings said last time, this is also an ancient god.
As last time, John approached the idol and placed his hand on it. This time it was different from the last time, this time John only felt as if he was surrounded by a gust of wind and flew into the sky, and when the wind stopped, John found himself in the void.
"Boy, you're here. At this time, Terr's voice came from the void, beckoning John: "Did you bring anything this time?" John thought for a while, took out the meatloaf and onion soup from the space, brought some wine by the way, and said, "The others are nothing worth mentioning, it's just that these foods are not bad, why don't you try them?"
Ter was stunned: "You are so interesting, although I have received many sacrifices in the past, this is the first time that I have directly taken out food as a sacrifice." As he spoke, both the pies and soup on the ground and the ale in John's hand disappeared out of thin air, and then John felt that his soul energy increased by 20.
Speaking of this, John remembered something, took out Jemiro's divine power crystal from the space, and asked Terr, "By the way, what is this, I haven't seen it before." ”
Ter said: "This is the crystallization of divine power, the aggregation of the divine power of the gods. This is invisible to ordinary people, and now only you can see it for the time being. "Now?" John asked, hearing something strange.
"yes, the introduction of magic and spells that we talked about last time is about to begin. Tel said, "Ann went out this time to decorate." ”
Without waiting for John to ask, Ter began to explain: "Remember the last time we said that we found you, in the void?"
John nodded.
"Last time Ann and I discovered a magical world. Tel continued: "This world is strange, Ann and I have met many worlds before, but this world is special. The world before that had a creation god, just like the possession of our world. However, that world was not created by any god, but was formed naturally, and if you give a definition, that world is the original stone. ”
"There is contact between worlds, and usually the contact between worlds is a collision, and after the collision, some fragments of the two worlds will fall off, and the fragments will be absorbed by the other party, and the laws above will also be absorbed by the other party. However, this kind of thing is very difficult to happen, and I have only met twice since Ann and I were born. ”
"But the world I met this time seems to have a special attraction, and in that world, I found more than ten rules from different worlds, including your world. ”
"Not only that, but your world seems to have collided with that rough stone world with a lot of force, not only did the world rules leave a lot of original stones absorbed, but it also greatly affected the historical development of the rough stone world. According to your memory, the world you live in is in the Age of Fire, and then it will enter the Deep Sea Age, which corresponds to the Middle Ages of the West and the Age of Discovery. As for the direction of the history of the world after that, it may also have an impact on your world. ”
"What surprises us the most is that the collision between worlds is not a collision of visible objects, but a conceptual contact, which is imperceptible within the world and will not be directly affected. And you, as the only thing scattered under the collision of worlds that are not world fragments, have the ability to move between worlds. ”
