Completely different from the style of Varland, the houses in black and gray tones are imbued with the solemn atmosphere of the fortress style. However, what is amazing is that this cold and murderous atmosphere does not dilute the prosperity of the city, but merges with the clamor that resounds through the streets and alleys, giving birth to a different kind of exotic atmosphere.

The streets were crowded with vendors of all kinds, mostly swords, chain mail, animal skin armor, or a few bottles and jars full of unknown liquids.

And the main customers of these stalls are mercenaries, caravan guards and the like. Here you can see not only human faces, but also some alien races that look like humans, but have the faces of beasts.

When passing by a vendor, Jiang Feng saw several kobold mercenaries wearing cloaks, choosing short axes to take advantage of.

“…… The Thornlands are home to many alien tribes that are not ruled by the kingdom and have used to raid the realms of nearby lords. The original intention of this fortress city was to intimidate the tribes and strengthen the kingdom's rule over the region. But now, most of these alien races have integrated into the city, and you can often see half-orcs and goblin mercenaries entering and leaving the bazaar and tavern, but I didn't expect that after so many years of not coming back, this place is still like this. Fielding said with some nostalgia.

"Where do you usually buy alchemy materials?"

"The more common materials can be found by strolling around, and the uncommon materials can be commissioned by mercenaries in the tavern, as long as the resources that exist in this thorny wasteland and even the nearby Kara Mountains can be bought in this market." Fielding said.

Jiang Feng looked at the crowd in front of him, and thought to himself that if he continued to wander around like this, he might not be able to find a place in the dark.

"Brain, activate Ghost One."

[Received.] 】

The silver metal ball floated out from under his cloak and flew into the air, and half of the city was in full view of Jiang Feng. In less than two seconds, the panoramic image of the house street was drawn in Jiang Feng's mind, and the picture was so detailed that he could even clearly see the goods placed in each vendor's stall and shop window.

"Plug in the camera feed and start wide-area scanning."

[Scan completed, target item retrieved, mark ...... on the map]

The moment the command was given, the shortest path to the target, like an AR image, was projected directly onto Jiang Feng's retina.

At this time, Yi Ran pulled Jiang Feng's sleeve and said embarrassedly.

"Hey, that, can you lend me some money?"

"Don't return it, just use it......" took out a bag of silver coins and threw it to Yi Ran, out of curiosity, Jiang Feng asked casually, "By the way, what are you going to buy?" ”

"It's a rare trip, so you have to bring some souvenirs back. I'll walk around and meet up at the hotel in a moment. ”

Looking at Yi Ran, who was excited and walking towards the roadside snacks, Jiang Feng said to Fielding next to him.

"Watch her for me, don't let her get into trouble."

"Yes, sir." Fielding nodded.

"Wait a minute," stopped Fielding, who was about to follow Yi Ran, Jiang Feng took out a note from his belt and handed it to him, "The things on the list, remember to help me buy some before you go out of the city, how much you need for each thing, it is written on it, let those people send the goods directly to the hotel outside the city." ”

After explaining these things clearly, Jiang Feng took back the ghost drone and walked through the crowd towards the shop called "Banshee Harbor".

……

Stale wooden signs hang in the dark doorway, in the corner of the bazaar, and not only is this shop unfrequented, but even the street is deserted. When he first saw the name "Banshee Harbor", Jiang Feng thought that the owner of the shop was a banshee, but he didn't expect that what he saw when he came in was a goblin.

But think about it, banshees, an evil creature loyal to Chaos, are wanted by the church in both Aditya and Noren. It's too late to hide in Tibet, let alone open a store blatantly.

Seeing the confusion in Jiang Feng's heart, the old goblin chattered and said in a hoarse voice.

"Please don't care about the name of our store, it's just a gimmick."

As the owner of the store, he broke this point in front of the customers without beating around the bush, and this goblin is also a very interesting guy.

"Didn't the priest of Boulder City trouble you?" Jiang Feng asked casually.

"Of course, my lord, but there is nothing in this city that cannot be put on the table with money, except for your valuable and priceless knowledge." The goblin chattered.

"You know I'm a wizard?" Jiang Feng's eyebrows raised.

"Of course, although the goblins do not have the ability to learn witchcraft, their sense of the magical element is top-notch. So...... Dear Wizard, I don't know what can be done for you? The goblin stood on the table and bowed to Jiang Feng exaggeratedly, so much so that the woven hat on his head fell off and smashed on the wooden table.

took out a note and put it on the counter.

"Let me see," the goblin climbed down from the table, carefully reading the words on the scrap of paper, "I have all these things...... The question is, how much do you want? ”

"Get me as much as I want, money is not a problem." Jiang Feng said.

In addition to the silver coins that were sent back to Crocodile Island, he now has a million Swiss silver in his spatial ring, which is more than enough to buy a castle with two towers.

These herbs are all used to make mana potions, many of which are specialties of the Thorn Wasteland, and are hard to come by on Vallan's side, and certainly not in Monkyrie's collection. In order to make up for his lack of mana attributes, Jiang Feng was going to transfer some mana potions in case of emergency, so the first thing he did after coming to Boulder City was to find this place.

"All of them? Wait until I look in the storeroom......"

Surprised, but without asking too much, the goblin turned and went into the warehouse behind the counter, and after a while came out with a package taller than the others, and placed the package containing the medicinal herbs on the ground.

Back and forth a few times, a total of five large bags.

The goblin wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, looked at Jiang Feng and said cautiously.

"A total of fifteen,700 UBS, I have erased the fraction for you, do you use transaction vouchers or silver coins?"

"The silver is ready."

Raising his right hand, he activated the space ring, only to see silver coins and flowing water, falling from under Jiang Feng's index finger with a clatter. In a few moments, the glittering silver coins were piled up knee-high beside the counter.

Faced with such a large number of silver coins, the goblin looked stupid for a while, and it wasn't until Jiang Feng opened his mouth to speak that he came back to his senses.

"Fifteen thousand seven hundred, you can count."

"No, no, I'm sure you're not going to trick a poor goblin." The goblin said respectfully, urging the other goblin guys in the store to put away the silver coins.

Although there are not many people who usually visit here, there are still some new people passing by outside. These silver coins are piled up here, and it is inevitable that they will be seen by outsiders, and if they are targeted by those lawless people, it will undoubtedly be a trouble for them.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to leave here, a yellow-green stone block placed on the display shelf caught his attention.

[Radioactive residues were detected, and gamma rays were close to the safety threshold......]

Eyebrows raised slightly, Jiang Feng reached out and took the stone in his hand and asked.

"What is this?"

The goblin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"My lord, in fact...... We don't know what it is. ”

If it were someone else, he might have lied about its origin and tricked customers into buying it. But standing in front of him was a wizard, the kind that could pinch him to death with the touch of a finger.

Goblins, though greedy for money, are more timid.

"Don't know? So why is it on your shelves? Jiang Feng asked.

"The mercenary who brought it to the shop, supposedly picked it up from near the Cursed Rift, asked us how much it was worth. Thinking that the stone was beautiful, I bought it for two UBS, but I still haven't met a familiar buyer. The goblin boss shook his head.

"I bought this stone," he pulled out four silver coins and put them on the counter, Jiang Feng said, "By the way, the Cursed Rift is not far from here?" ”

"It's close, right in this thorny wasteland, and any mercenary or guide you can take you there. However, you have to be very careful when entering there, and it is said that a mercenary once broke into the depths of the Cursed Rift in pursuit of the prey entrusted by the mission. The man had just come out of the rift, and nothing had happened, and he was even getting drunk with the bounty of the mission......"

At this, the goblin shuddered, as if he remembered something terrible.

Under the urging of Jiang Feng's eyes, he continued with a shudder.

Within a week, all his hair and teeth were gone. Within two weeks, he couldn't speak, so he could only lie in bed. It is said that when he died, like an old man in his sixties, he could not find a single intact skin on his body, and even the priest could not do anything about it, as if he had been drained of his life force by something......
