The Second Tower Fortress in the middle of the Scourge Road, with its majestic fortresses and turrets, stands on the military path, guarding the safety of the vicinity.

As the second tower in the middle of the road, this important point is very powerful in terms of garrison and firepower, and the military camp at its foot also covers a vast area, and the market in the rear is also very prosperous, with a wide variety of commodities and all-encompassing.

After more than two months of fighting, most of the adventurers also earned a considerable amount of gold here. However, because of the system's fucking 10-to-1 shrinkage rule, adventurers reluctantly find that it is not easy to save a large amount of money here. And even if you save it, it's hard to buy anything really good

The precious materials dropped by all kinds of rare birds and beasts are naturally valuable treasures, and if they are made into weapons and equipment, they must be awesome and coaxing, but the question is, who will do it?

Of course, there are many adventurers who have life skills and know how to process materials. But the so-called life skills, in the final analysis, are still auxiliary skills, of course they can use the keel to make a sword, with the horn of the beast to make the tip of the spear, but that is at most standard equipment, maybe sharp enough, hard enough, damage is high enough, maybe you can also bring one or two material-related special effects, but after all, it is just a big road, if you want to get powerful special effects, you have to use guò enchantment, upgrades and other means.

One of the most famous elements in the world of the Battle of the Ruins is the wide variety of powerful equipment in it, which is much stronger than the hand-made by the adventurers, and it is the craftsmen who make these magical weapons in the Defense of the Ruins.

These craftsmen have been standing by the fireside with hammers for as long as they can remember, and they have been immersed in the equipment manufacturing industry all their lives, and they are also natives of the defense of the ruins, and they know the characteristics, effects, and even hidden properties of various materials well.

Therefore, if you want to turn expensive materials into combat power, you need not only a lot of gold coins, but also a good relationship with the craftsmen, which is followed by a large number of trivial tasks that are almost difficult.

And the adventurers' gold coins mainly have only three sources, one is to loot on the battlefield, but the average soldier is not rich, most of them only have dozens of copper plates, or even no money at all, with a tenfold shrinkage ratio, this road to save enough gold coins to rummage through dozens of dead bodies, too hard.

The second is to do tasks to receive rewards, but it is generally not easy to do difficult tasks, and the rewards of low-difficulty tasks are not high, and tasks generally have credits or other rewards linked to the system, and gold coins are just piggybacking, which also shrinks tenfold, and it is also difficult to make a fortune.

The third is to go deep into the wilderness, hunt all kinds of monsters to obtain materials, and trade with people to obtain gold coins, which is relatively the fastest means to get rich, but it is also the most dangerous, unless you gather enough strength, otherwise ordinary people will not try lightly.

All in all, after a short period of experimentation, adventurers found that instead of pinning their hopes on all kinds of expensive equipment that was out of reach, it was better to buy more practical props with immediate results. For example, the dust of development, the fog of trickery, the size of the magic wand, etc., these are all things that can be exchanged for dozens of gold coins, but they can often play an unexpected effect in battle, and the most popular of them is the most practical city return scroll!

This thing can be exchanged for only ten gold coins, and the supply is continuous, as many as you want. Adventurers favored it, not only for self-defense, but also as an important strategic stockpile.

With the Scroll of Returning to the City in hand, adventurers can travel back and forth between major fortresses in just a few seconds, and adventurers from different paths in the same camp communicate frequently, and even many people form temporary alliances across city-states to fight against opposing factions.

For example, now, in the market behind the second tower in the middle lane, there is a small alliance of more than a dozen adventurers, including both Miracle City, Dynamic City, and two Hope City. They've pulled up a strong enough team to look like they're planning to head deeper into the wilderness and get a big shot.

"The Fog of Trickery must bring a few more sets!" The leader was a tall, handsome-looking man who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old, and while selecting the goods, he commanded, "Bring more Shadow Dust, too, there will inevitably be invisible monsters." Bring more red and blue ointment, and eat trees with a few more groups, lest the treatment can't keep up with ......"

This team is also considered wealthy, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of gold coins were squandered, which made the characters in the plot look sideways. There are also many monster hunters who live by hunting in the defense of the ruins, and they are the main source of materials in the market, but their actions mainly rely on their knowledge of the wild area, and they rarely use such a generous hand.

The leading adventurer was named Leslie, a powerful adventurer in the Dynamic City. Similar to a Chinese city like Miracle City, Dynamic City also has a certain selection of adventurers to join, and more than 90% of the adventurers in this city-state are women, which is actually a veritable daughter country.

And Leslie is a rare man in this daughter city. Although there are advantages for both men and women among the adventurers, it is easier to survive as a man with superior physical strength and courage in the early days. Especially in this kind of daughter city, in the mission world where few interacted with other city-states in the early days, the mentality of adventurers has not changed, and rare men are often easy to become the backbone of war-weary and weak women, and slowly and naturally, they will become the leaders of the team. Therefore, although men in the Dynamic City are rare, those who can live to the senior level are basically team leaders with good strength.

Leslie is one such master, he runs a team of seven people, all but him are women. There were only sixteen members in this inter-city-state alliance, so Leslie, who accounted for almost half of his subordinates, naturally became the leader of the alliance. And his adventurer alliance is also one of the most powerful forces on the Cataclysmic side, except for the Black Widow team of the Bright-eyed Princess, the Miracle City Alliance led by Chen Mingfeng.

After some splurge, the group's storage space was full of supplies, and they arrived at the largest tavern in the bazaar, kicked the door open, and walked in.

The tavern was originally full of people, but when they heard the movement here, the drinkers looked up one after another, and when they found that it was Leslie, they didn't care very much, and began to go about their jobs. Leslie's Little League has also been a starlet of the Scourge side during these two months, often haunting the rear bazaars of the major fortresses, and many hunters and soldiers know them.

Leslie led the group to find an empty seat in the corner of the bar, sat down, ordered a few glasses of ale, and drank it. The adventurers' special constitution makes it difficult for them to get really drunk, but alcohol still has some effect on their nerves, making them excited and happy.

The adventurers were chatting while drinking, and a man with glasses from Miracle City came to Leslie's side and asked curiously: "Mr. Leslie, you came to us in such a hurry this time, saying that you took a big deal, and in the blink of an eye, you spent most of the gold coins we worked so hard to earn, who is the other party?" ”

Leslie smiled, pulling a thick claw from her pocket and slamming it on the table. The claws were more than a foot long, and they were like a short sword when placed there, and they were so sharp that they were imposing.

Seeing this thing, several adventurers next to him came over and let out a sigh of admiration.

"This seems to be the claws of the owl beast!" One adventurer exclaimed, "And judging by this size, it should be a raging beast!" ”

"This thing is not easy to do, the combat power of the owl beast is very good, and it is also one of the best among the leader-level monsters!"

"Yes, if you can deal with a monster of this level, it seems that the other party is also a very powerful team!"

The adventurers were talking, and Leslie opened the storage space, reached inside, and threw several of the same claws on the table, only one size smaller, only longer than a normal person's fingers.

"These are the claws of ordinary owls!" Leslie smiled: "There are dozens of them in my space, they must have at least one nest of the owl beast, even ordinary owl beasts are at least elite-level monsters, and if they can do this, the scale of the other party may even be above us!" ”

Hearing this news, the adventurers of the alliance all smiled, strong alliance, is this going to push some big boss on the other side?

"Maybe I'll have to challenge the weird!" A young adventurer excitedly.

"Far weird is not so easy to mess with, if you really want to deal with that level, two teams like ours are not enough!" Another bearded adventurer shook his head.

"They don't necessarily just find us!" The young man retorted: "There is less than a month left, maybe the other party is planning to unite a few more teams and do something big together!" ”

"Do big things?" Another adventurer said disdainfully: "Except for the Miracle City Alliance and the Black Widow team, who has this appeal?" ”

"Alright, okay, stop arguing!" Leslie waved his hand and said, "Wait a while, they will come, and they will know naturally!" ”

The boss spoke, and everyone quieted down and began to look forward to the future alliance. But there was no one waiting left and right, and an hour passed quickly, and Leslie's men were a little impatient.

A female man with oil paint on her face and short hair combed to the sky slapped the table: "Captain, they are a little too deceitful!" The time and place are set by them, and we have released our pigeons, which has been more than an hour, and we have not even seen a ghost! ”

Leslie was also a little unhappy, he looked at the time, frowned, and said: "Wait a little longer, rest assured, our time will not be wasted, and we can make a fuss about this issue later, so that they can make more benefits!" ”

As he spoke, the door of the bar opened, and from the outside came a small man in a furt, who looked around, saw Leslie's group, and walked briskly.

"That's him!" Leslie beckoned from afar, and reminded his subordinates in a low voice: "Look at my eyes and act when you negotiate for a while, let us wait for so long, we can't let him go!" ”
