"Somebody, somewhere, saw the kind of crystal you were talking about."

Adventurer's Guild, news counter, a white-bearded old man, sitting on a high-backed chair, looked at Wang Zheng and the others who came to buy the news with a smile: "Although I can't be sure, the crystal in that place is the kind you need, but judging from the characteristics you described, the two are highly similar." ”

Wang Zheng knocked on the counter with his index finger: "Where is the location?" Where did the crystal you mentioned appear? ”

He would not have been able to communicate with the natives of the plane.

However, Sainz's spatial ring happened to carry a "fluent language" scroll.

This kind of scroll does not involve energy manipulation, cannot give blessings on both offensive and defensive ends, and is not suppressed by the rules of the plane.

Therefore, after using this "fluent language" scroll, Wang Zheng was able to communicate with the natives of the plane like Sainz, Heathcot, and the three legends who were constantly fluent in language.

"A gold coin." The old man cocked up his index finger and quoted the price of the news.

"No gold." Wang Zheng flipped his wrist, took out a gold ring, and put it on the counter: "Is this okay?" ”

The old man picked up the gold ring, weighed it first, and then bit it lightly with his teeth, and after distinguishing it, he nodded: "It's barely enough." ”

He casually put the gold ring in his pocket, and said with a smile, "Misty Swamp." The kind of crystal you're looking for is in the misty swamp of the Wasteland of Chaos. ”

Wang Zheng frowned: "What about the specific location?" ”

The old man smiled like a fox and raised three fingers: "One map, three gold coins." ”

Wang Zheng glanced at the old man deeply: "One news, divided into two sales, you really know how to do business." ”

The old man smiled and said nothing, only shaking three fingers slightly.

Wang Zheng took out a gold necklace and slapped it on the counter: "Is this enough?" ”

The old man picked up the gold chain, and after appraising it, he sighed: "The workmanship of this chain is even more exquisite than the ring just now...... You can't rob a nobleman, do you? ”

Elf Alderia took a step forward very consciously, slapped the table hard, raised her eyebrows and glared: "Don't talk nonsense, what about the map?" ”

The old man glanced at the blonde elf with pointed ears, white skin as snow, delicate facial features, and long legs, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, took out a map, and put it on the counter: "The map is here." ”

After a pause, he said earnestly: "The terrain of the wasteland is complicated, and even if you have a map, there is a risk of getting lost. If I were you, I would hire a team of adventurers to be guides. Well, I have the contact information of a team of experienced and well-reputed adventurers here, do you need me to introduce you? It's free this time. ”

"No need." Wang Zheng put away the map, glanced at it, and said lightly: "Let's go by ourselves." ”

The old man emphasized in a serious tone: "The wasteland is dangerous. Gangs, criminals, alien tribes, wild beasts...... Even a change in the weather could kill you. To be on the safe side, you'd better hire a team of experienced and powerful adventurers to protect you. ”

"Huh." Wang Zhengpi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, put away the map, waved his big hand, and left the Adventurer Guild with everyone.

The old man squinted his eyes, looking at the backs of Wang Zheng and the others, and his gaze swept over the moving waistlines of Elf, Aqing, and Chunli one by one. When he landed on Mulan's back, looking at her black and red, angular hideous armor, and seeing the heavy giant sword on her back, the old man's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and he whispered to himself: "Hero?" ”

The word "hero" is a special word for a special group of people in this plane.

In this plane, Warsong is the only transcendent power that can take effect, similar to spells.

Outside of Warsong, there is no otherworldly power of any spell type that can take effect.

In addition to the "War Song Messenger" who can use war songs to exert extraordinary power, there is only one kind of strong person in this plane that far surpasses mortals, that is, "heroes".

The so-called heroes, the legend is that they are the descendants of the gods who flow with the "blood of the gods" - although there are no gods in this plane, the legend says so - they are infinitely powerful, agile as the wind, tireless, and they are out-and-out killing machines.

"Heroes" are not limited to race.

Whether it's humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, or even gnomes, there will be heroes.

Because "hero" is only a term for a specific group of people, and those people are good and bad, both heroic and upright good people, and there are also bullies and villains, so in this plane, heroes are not praise.

But whether it is good or bad, every "hero" is an invincible existence for ordinary people. Even the most elite warriors are no match for a hero.

If this hero is accompanied by a powerful "War Singer", then even a thousand fully armed elite soldiers will be killed by the hero without leaving a single piece of armor.

Mulan's outfit made the old man mistake her for a "hero", and there was a fear in the old eyes.

However, after carefully looking at Wang Zheng and the others again, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth: "There is no war song, ......."

The characteristics of the Warsong Messenger are very distinct.

Every Warrior Singer will have at least one main instrument on them. In addition to the main instrument, a spare instrument will also be brought with you, as well as a large number of special gems, crystals and other props to increase the power of the song.

Since there is no magic in this plane, storage items do not exist. Each war singer can only carry his own musical instruments, props, etc. with him.

And Wang Zheng and the others did not have any musical instruments or amplification props, and the old man judged that there was no war singer in this team.

"There is no war hymn, only one hero, and he dares to go deep into the wasteland and go to the misty swamp without hiring a guide...... "The old man shook his head, "This is self-defeating!" ”

When Wang Zheng and the others walked out of the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, the old man smiled strangely: "It's better to ...... than let you die in the wilderness in vain."

He beckoned a dwarf sitting in the corner of the hall and whispered, "Follow the group just now." ”

The dwarf nodded and ran out as fast as he could.

The old man beckoned another waiter and whispered, "Go and inform the red ghost that a big business has come to your door!" ”

Speaking of which, there are rules for the Adventurer's Guild. Not to start with customers is obviously one of the rules that must be followed.

However, in the adventurer's guild in the wasteland on this side of Sin City, all the rules are in vain.

Besides, the old man didn't plan to attack in the city - with the old man's eyesight, he recognized at a glance that Wang Zheng and his party were pure newcomers who appeared in Sin City for the first time.

It's normal for a pure newcomer like this to die outside while venturing out on an adventure in the Wasteland.

You must know that every year, the newcomer adventurers who come to adventure from the land of civilization and the land of lawlessness are basically gone.

Less than 10% of the adventurers make it back alive.

Among the less than one percent of the adventurers, only two or three percent can really bring back a lot of harvest - the chaotic wasteland is barren, the minerals are scarce, and it is not suitable for the survival and development of civilized races, but there are all kinds of magical areas, which can be produced in the civilized world, and are worth a lot of money, and even valuable luxuries.

For example, the Misty Swamp produces a precious "Star Orb", which is a pearl produced by shellfish unique to the Misty Swamp. In the civilized world, a finger-sized Star Orb can sell for 100 gold coins. Larger, better-looking Star Orbs can sell for hundreds of gold coins. And the highest price record for the Star Orb is a full 1,000 gold coins!

Therefore, all the adventurers who can bring back a lot of harvest from the wasteland have basically made a fortune.

It is precisely because of this that although there is not one out of ten adventurers who come back alive, and only two or three percent of the remaining adventurers can really get rich, because of the "survivor effect", many fledgling adventurers still come to Sin City and Chaos Wasteland to adventure, hoping to get rich overnight.

In the old man's opinion, Wang Zheng's group of people is a group of adventurers who are eager to go to the wasteland to make a fortune, and the kind of crystal they are looking for should be a very valuable luxury in the old man's mind.

For this kind of "not strong enough" and newcomer adventurers, the old man has no intention of talking to them about the rules.

"Who told you to refuse to listen to my advice and hire the adventurers I introduced as guides and bodyguards?"

The old man thought to himself: "Who told you to be so weak, there are so many beautiful women in the team?" How many years have you not seen such a beautiful elf? Pure gold long hair, light gold pupils, this is a characteristic of the elf royal family!

"Since the war that drove the elves to the wasteland hundreds of years ago, there have been very few elven royals in the human world. Hmm, it seems that someone caught a royal family in the wasteland the year before last, or an underage elf, how many gold coins were auctioned? It seems to be ...... Thirteen thousand?

"Hey, I didn't expect that there are still royal elves who dare to swagger to Sin City. Well, look at her like that, she seems to be the slave of that human? It must have been a royal elf who was taken captive a long time ago. But so what? Even if you are a slave yourself, you can sell it again.

"And those human women, tsk, the human beauties with black hair and black eyes, are also quite rare and rare breeds, and they will definitely sell for a good price.

"Well, that white-haired and black-armored heroine is not bad, it is said that many nobles who do not have heroic blood, especially like to play with this kind of heroine......"

The old man fantasized beautifully, until a red-haired man with a thin body and a skinny face, like a skeleton, came to the adventurer's guild.

"Old jackal, I heard you have a big business?"

The red-haired man came to the counter where the old man was, tapped his fingers on the counter, and whispered.

"At least 20,000 gold coins or more for big business." The old man smiled: "It's worth your Red Ghost Troupe, all the members are dispatched!" To be on the safe side, we'll have to pull in a war hymn ......"
