Chapter 171: A Town in the Desert

Pedaling, pedaling!!

The horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, and a dark brown steed stopped at the door of the inn.

Turning over and dismounting, Jiang Feng saw the innkeeper with a warm smile on his face and greeted him from the house.

"My lord, would you like to eat or stay at a hotel?"

"Help me prepare a clean room, as well as food and hot water," taking out a bag of silver coins, Jiang Feng threw it in the boss's arms, and continued, "Also, feed my horse, I will probably stay here for a few days." ”

"Okay!"

The innkeeper simply glanced at the silver coins in his purse and went out with joy.

This is the eastern part of the Thorn Wastes, the most barren area in the entire continent of Aditya, and the only borderless land in the entire continent of Aditya. Endless sandstorms, an oasis of migrating quicksand, where few people choose to live except for a few fringe peoples and a few half-orc races.

But there are exceptions.

Boulder Town is one of them.

In this desert, it is like a stubborn rotten stone, which has been eroded by the wind and sand for thousands of years and still stands here.

Because of the protection of wizards, even the most vicious orc race will not have crooked thoughts about the people who live here. Under the protection of the barrier, the town is protected from the baptism of wind and sand, and the oasis is forever green. Many ordinary people also lived here, engaged in production, handicrafts and other basic industries, mainly serving the sorcerers living in the area, except for exchanging goods with specific caravans, almost no communication with the outside world.

As for why the wizards protect this place, one of the reasons is that everyone is an unorganized researcher, and there is a real need for such a place to exchange resources and discuss scholarship. The other is the resources here, which have attracted the attention of the wild wizards on this continent.

Wizards have a different understanding of the word resource than mortals. In the eyes of mortals, fertile soil and abundant minerals can be called resources, but in the eyes of wizards, the richness of a region's magical elements, as well as the presence of rare monsters and medicinal herbs, are the criteria for measuring whether an area's resources are barren.

After stepping into this desert, Jiang Feng understood what Andorra said to himself, "When you get to the desert, you will naturally understand where the bazaar is."

There is no need for a map at all, as long as you are a wizard, even the lowest-level apprentice, you can easily find this place by looking for the vein of the magic flowing.

"Stardust is sixty-seven percent more abundant than the Thorn Wastes! I see, it's no wonder that these wizards choose to gather here. Jiang Feng nodded slightly in understanding.

The abundance of stardust varies from planet to planet, and it will not be exactly the same from location to location on the same planet. For example, here, it is probably similar to the spiritual veins, feng shui treasures, and magic vortex in the mouths of most idealistic civilizations.

Following the guy into the store, Jiang Feng noticed that many people were sitting on the first floor eating meat and drinking, among them, in addition to the mercenaries and caravan guards, there were also some people like him, who couldn't see their faces clearly in cloaks. Judging from the faint fluctuation of spiritual power, the person in the red robe should be a wizard.

Noticing Jiang Feng's gaze, the corners of the man's mouth hooked up with an arrogant sneer.

At the same time, Jiang Feng felt a faint spiritual power, which was quietly spreading towards his side with a hint of temptation.

It's just that the strength of the apprentice level is also so big-tempered?

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Jiang Feng no longer restrained his strength, and the surging spiritual power was released in an instant, and he greeted the person's spiritual power tentacles.

I saw that the man's face suddenly turned pale, and his spiritual power faded like a tide, and he looked away and no longer looked at him.

Looking at the man in a cold sweat, Jiang Feng smiled kindly at him, then turned around and walked upstairs.

Seeing Jiang Feng's back disappear at the top of the stairs, the wizard apprentice gasped for breath, couldn't even take care of eating, left a few silver coins on the table, and left the inn in a hurry. The other wizards sitting in the corner gave mocking glances at his back.

At first glance, it was a hillbilly from a remote area, and he was praised by those mortal nobles in his hometown, and the first time he came here, he provoked a strong man with one-star strength. Fortunately, that man was not a dark wizard, and if he had met those guys who killed people without blinking, he would have turned into a corpse by now.

In fact, those wizards misunderstood, Jiang Feng was only because he used Stardust Points to install the E3 Psychic Induction Amplification Element on the Zhi Brain, and his spiritual power was slightly stronger than that of ordinary wizards. Although he only has the strength of a high-level apprentice, his spiritual power is already close to the peak of a one-star wizard.

In Captain Monkyrie's notes, Jiang Feng found a potion called "Call of the Revenant", which had a similar effect to the Affliction Potion. The difference is that the latter can only be used to improve mana attributes and a small amount of mental power, while the former can not only increase mana and spiritual power, but also help apprentice-level wizards complete the materialization of spiritual power, breaking through from a high-level apprentice to a one-star wizard.

Mandala grass, death mushroom, silver moon grass...... Jiang Feng had already entrusted the mercenaries of Megalith City to mobilize the worldly forces to search for these medicinal herbs, and get rid of Leia's help to cultivate. As for the most crucial medicinal herb, the Soul Eater's eyeball, it is something that only exists in the Wizarding Continent.

It is precisely because of this that Captain Monkiri, who searched for this recipe from the ancient shipwreck, never succeeded in concouraging this potion, but just included it in the notes, but he didn't expect to be cheaper for Jiang Feng in the end.

This time he came to the bazaar, Jiang Feng was looking for the eyeballs of the Soul Eater, completing the formula of "Call of the Revenant", and breaking through the bottleneck of a one-star wizard.

Asking the innkeeper to bring the food to the room, Jiang Feng simply ate dinner, then sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated, ending the day.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the bed, opened his eyes, stretched comfortably, jumped off the bed, and moved his muscles.

The concentration of magic in the town of Boulder was beyond his imagination.

There is no need to deliberately search for the magical elements that are free of air, those little ones are everywhere, and even every breath of air they breathe carries the smell of many elements. It was just such a night's time, and Jiang Feng felt that the effect of meditation was comparable to meditating in the Thorn Wasteland for a whole day!

"This is indeed a good place, no wonder those wizards go to great lengths to protect this place, even at the expense of magic stones to build an enchantment against nature." Jiang Feng sighed softly in his heart, "However, the magic element is so dense that it shouldn't be a daily situation, it must be something that has happened recently, or it happens to be in some special 'high tide period'." If this happens every day of the year, everyone on this street will become a wizard! ”

After breakfast, Jiang Feng left the hotel and walked towards the town.

Just as he was about to ask for directions, a group of children gathered around him.

The little girl, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, said crisply.

"Sir, do you need a guide?"

"I'm familiar with this street, it only costs five silver coins, and I can take you wherever you want to go!"

"Pick me! All I need is four silver coins! ”

"Damn, Jim, it's a foul to cut the price!"

“……”

Seeing that those children almost fought in order to compete for themselves, Jiang Feng couldn't help but cry and laugh on his face.

Just as he was about to pick a random child that was pleasing to the eye, a boy who looked a little older managed to squeeze in front of him.

"Sir, you're a wizard, aren't you? I promise, I'll be able to take you wherever you want to go, and I swear my intelligence is the most useful, and if I lie, you can turn my tongue to stone. ”

Because of these words, Jiang Feng looked at the boy a few more times with some surprise.

From the boy's body, he could feel traces of the mana radiation. This is only the case for mortals who are in constant contact with wizards.

"Take me to the nearby market, and the money will be yours." As he spoke, Jiang Feng took out a small bag of silver coins and threw it into the boy's hand.

"We're here to help."

The boy who took the money bag didn't look at it, quickly took off the hat on his head and bowed to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Lead the way in front." ”

"Yes, sir."

The boy who straightened up glanced proudly at the group of lost and scattered children behind him, and quickly followed Jiang Feng's footsteps and led him in the direction of the center of the town.
