Chapter 7: The Temple of the Raven
Ding Ding -
The doorbell rang, and Tang Qi opened the door, revealing a journal outside the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This issue of The Adventurer came really early. Donch took the journal back to the house.
The Adventurer's journal is the official publication of Winterfell, which covers most of the events in the wilderness, and because of its importance, every family in Winterfell will subscribe to a copy whenever they can, and learn about recent events.
The cover of this issue of "The Adventurer" is an ancient temple, poorly printed, but the majestic ancient charm of the temple can still be seen.
"The front page is "The Crow Temple"?" Tang Qi sat on the armchair, looked at it, and soon looked stunned: "The Crow Temple has been found! The nobles invite the vast number of mercenaries and adventurers to participate in the exploration?!"
The Temple of Ravens is a legend that has been passed down in Winterfell, and is said to be the remains of evil magicians from the Age of Magic, where countless corpses are buried, causing scavenging ravens to hover over the sky for many years.
But a legend is a legend after all, the Raven Temple has been missing in the footsteps of countless adventurers, and now it has been found! But how could the discoverer announce the coordinates of the temple...... Tang Qi smelled danger.
The remnants of the Age of Magic represent wealth, and while magic has passed away and once powerful power-ups have lost their power or broken over time, the materials used to craft them are still valuable. You must know that the Age of Magic has been passed down through the ages, it is extremely strong, its footprints are all over all planes, and the materials used to make magical items are extremely precious.
In order to refine the materials for magical items, the Bachelor's Tower has developed a decomposer class.
The value of a relic is amazing, and the black-hearted nobles will kindly share it with the adventurers, but Tang Qi does not believe it.
"There must be danger, the nobles are looking for cannon fodder. Tang Qi finished reading the article and exhaled, he could think of it, and the adventurers and mercenaries could also think of it, but people died for money, and I am afraid that there will be no less.
Flipping through the front page, Tang Qi continued to look back.
"The White River Valley mine was attacked by evil beasts, and all the steam engines were destroyed, and the price of source crystals will increase again in the future, and the price of iron will also usher in a slight increase......"
"Groups of crusty wild boars are starting to migrate, and the gravel plains will be safer in the coming month. ”
"Benthic river fish go south to spawn, the annual fishing event of the Mercenary Association is promulgated, the price has increased compared with previous years, a benthic river fish 10 silver wolves, and at the same time, the Pharmacist Association buys a large number of river fish eggs. ”......
Tang Qi watched unhurriedly and lay comfortably in the armchair.
Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, staring at the headline of a journal article, his face changing suddenly: "The Theft of Ranger Equipment: On the Safety of Trains"
Donkey's heart was beating violently, and he looked down:
"Whether the train is safe enough to lose a set of Ranger equipment on its first run, this behemoth from the royal capital is running as scheduled, but the merchant has doubts about its reliability...... Several nobles expressed their anger at the incident and said they would find the thief and punish him as he deserved. ”
Reading the whole article, Tang Qi's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Fortunately, the matter of pretending to be a nobleman was not exposed, it should be that the guards did not dare to ......make a noise" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, put down the journal suddenly, and ran upstairs to put on a dress.
"You're going out?" asked Mother Vanessa, peeking out of the kitchen.
"Well, I suddenly remembered something, and I'll come back for dinner. Tang Qi hurriedly said, turned around and walked out the door.
......
Black Street is a general term for the streets on the edge of the slums.
There are few city guards here, the lack of management leads to chaos, and some items from the black channel are often sold here, and the passenger flow is complicated, but the mercenaries and adventurers are the mainstream in general.
Kicking the garbage away from the door, Tang Qi rushed into a shady shop. The shop is not large, the shelves are piled with all kinds of sundries, the windows on both sides are sealed, only a ray of sunlight illuminates the shop, and there is an old man lying on his stomach at the low front desk.
"Kicking something bad is a compensatory. The old man said with his yellow teeth in his mouth.
"Old man Ge, what did I ask you to change. Tang Qi patted a bronze horn to the front desk.
"That's true, did you say that Ranger equipment? Old man Ge wiped the copper into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "That set of things is very hot, you kid is not small, you kid is not small, you dare to steal the nobleman's things, this is a naked slap of the nobleman's face." ”
"What you're talking about, I don't understand. Tang Qi pretended to be stupid.
Old man Ge said: "You don't have to pretend to be stupid, I'm not interested in the origin of things, and I won't tell others, I am very disciplined in our business." But according to the rules of the black street, this kind of hot goods treatment has to be increased. He stretched out 8 fingers: "80 silver wolves, you can figure out one less." ”
"80 silver wolves!" Tang Qi lost his voice, counting the money from the thief, his entire property was only 140 silver wolves, and this was because he didn't dare to give his mother the huge amount of money from 1 golden dragon.
"The market price can't be lower. Old man Ge slumped into his chair.
"Okay!" Thinking about the value and risk of the Ranger equipment, Tang Qi gritted his teeth.
"Come on, you'll be able to pick up your goods in two days. ”
Since there was no mistake in the Ranger equipment, Tang Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked around the shop: "Do you have a ten-year tree core and fire-based, earth-based, and water-based evil beast blood here?" "If you can buy materials from Old Man Ge, you can make totems as soon as possible.
"Ten years of tree cores, I have a bit of inventory, and there are a lot of evil beast blood and water systems. Earth and fire are a bit more troublesome. Old man Ge frowned: "Especially the blood of the fire-based evil beast, even if you have it, you can't afford it." ”
Sure enough, Tang Qi was not surprised, the vicinity of Winterfell was full of snow-capped mountains and snowfields, most of the evil beasts were water-based, and fire-type evil beasts were the rarest, and even if there were most of them, they were all strong, resulting in the blood of fire-type evil beasts being very valuable.
"There are 5 silver wolves in the core of the tree, and 1 silver wolf in one ounce of the blood of the evil beast in the water system. Old man Ge said.
So expensive!
Tang Qi was a little surprised, but although Old Man Ge was greedy for money, the price was always fair: "Get me 5 tree cores and 20 ounces of water-based evil beast blood." "These are the materials of the 5 totems, and since they have to practice first, Tang Qi does not dare to guarantee what the success rate is.
"You kid is really rich, it seems that the last time he gained a lot. Old man Ge snorted, said no more, turned his head and quickly took a pot of evil beast blood and 5 tree cores from the shelf. The blood of the beast was contained in a sealed crockpot, and the core of the tree, a piece of wood slightly longer than an arm, was wrapped in oiled paper and given to Tang Qi.
"I'll pick up the equipment in two days. ”
After spending 125 silver wolves, Tang Qi walked out of the grocery store with the goods in pain.
After calculating the remaining money on his body, Tang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know if it's enough to make a carving knife, I hope the price of the blacksmith shop can be cheaper." "Yesterday, I still had a huge amount of money for 1 golden dragon, and in a blink of an eye, I was poor and only had 15 silver wolves left.
The blacksmith shop is not far from the shop, Tang Qi gave the blacksmith the style and size of the carving knife to be designed, and the blacksmith said that the custom price is 10 silver wolves, and because it is a small piece, he can come to pick it up in the afternoon. The price was reasonable, and Tang Qi happily paid a deposit of 5 silver wolves.
Leaving the blacksmith's shop, Don Qi picked up his package and walked back down the street.
However, before he walked out of the dark street, Tang Qi suddenly frowned slightly: It seems that someone is following him, is it a thief? Pretending to buy something, he glanced behind him, and the endless crowd couldn't see who was the target at all.
Tang Qi remained silent, and suddenly turned back to Old Man Ge's shop, borrowed the back door of the shop, and left from the trail.
Black Street is an avenue lined with branches, one side of which belongs to the slums and the other to the civilian areas, and these small roads are complex and therefore the main places for dirt and dirt.
Slapping away the hands of a few prostitutes who touched their buttocks, Tang Qi walked forward quickly.
"The little brother is still shy. ”
"Do you want my sister to help you put out the fire?"
"Hehe, the first time my sister counted you cheaper......"
......
Tang Qi felt like a lamb that had fallen into a pack of wolves, and a group of women were flirtatious. Laboriously through the brothel area, the further you go in, the more dilapidated the street, the old man Ge's shop is facing away from the slum, and then you go into the slum area.
At this time, Tang Qi stopped and moved a step in the direction suitable for escape without leaving a trace.
"Boy, why don't you run away. ”
As the voice fell, six people walked out of the corner, led by a bald young man, who looked a little thin and had a sneer on his face.
"Who are you?"
The six of them were all armed with weapons, and the comers were not good, and Tang Qi's face sank.
"The train station just met two days ago, and you forgot it so quickly. The leading young man said coldly.
At the train station, Tang Qi suddenly remembered that he remembered this reminder that there seemed to be him behind the one-eyed strong man at the beginning.
"Hand over the stuff!" the bald head spat out, "If not, don't go." ”
"Something?"
Tang Qi keenly caught his words, it wasn't asking for money, did the thing refer to the source crystal, it couldn't be the family crest of the Winter family. "What do you want, I've used up the source crystal, but I can compensate you for the money. ”
As he spoke, Tang Qi pretended to go to get the money bag, but he actually touched the hand crossbow that he had just retrieved from Old Man Ge.
