Chapter 55: Departure
Taking this opportunity, Magina asked Merv about the Rift Waste.
Although he had learned more or less about the Rift Wasteland from his previous treasurer, it wasn't enough.
Merv frowned, and seemed to be a little resistant to this question, but fortunately he still said, "Rift Shadow Wasteland, it is a bit exaggerated to say how many people have died, but it is indeed a very dangerous place, it has been a forbidden area that no one has set foot on more than ten years ago, and it is rumored that someone has come out, but most of them are delirious, as if something particularly strange happened inside, which directly scared them stupid, and as time goes by, it will naturally become more and more outrageous." ”
Merv continued: "I've been a mercenary for more than twenty years, and I've heard of people taking some missions to the Rift Wasteland, but the end is miserable. ”
Magina nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she continued, "Is the Shadow Wasteland far from here?"
"It's not far, but it's not close," Merv said. ”
As she spoke, Merv seemed to realize something, and asked, "What? Could it be that you still want to go to that hellish place?"
Magina smiled, not knowing how to answer, but nodded perfunctorily, "There is said to be something important to me, so I have to go." ”
Hearing this, Merv didn't dissuade, "Well, if you have to go there, you can follow my team tomorrow, I happened to pick up a mission near the Rift Wasteland, and I can take you for a ride." ”
Hearing this, Magina immediately thanked again and again, and just wanted to take out some gold coins to thank him, but was directly rejected by Merf.
He took his glass, drank it all, and said to Magina, "If you want to go, you can meet at the entrance of the town tomorrow morning." ”
Magina thanked her, and then said goodbye to Merv.
After a night's sleep in a tavern in Haikou Town, Magina got up early and went to the shop where she had replaced the scroll.
The old shopkeeper saw that it was him, and suddenly smiled from ear to ear, obviously, this kind of foreigner who doesn't know much about the market is their favorite customer, "Yo, young man, there is something to sell again?"
Majina smiled, shook her head, and said, "I'll come over and buy something." ”
The old shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "If you want anything, just say it." ”
"What do mercenaries usually buy when they travel?" "Since she didn't know much about the situation here, Majina could only ask the old shopkeeper to recommend it.
When the old shopkeeper heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he was busy tossing in the cabinet, took a bunch of things out, and introduced: "Healing ointment, healing elixir, generally mercenaries who travel far away have to buy a few, in case of emergency, and this suppressing blade, the edge of the knife is sharp, sharpening iron like clay, I don't see any decent weapons on you, this is just enough for you to defend yourself." ”
Healing ointment is the most widely used healing agent in mainland China today, it can help users recover injuries and physical strength in a short period of time, and is deeply loved by mercenaries.
According to rumors, this healing ointment is brewed from the leaves of the World Tree, and its inventor is naturally the human leader of the current continent, the Prophet.
Although this is not the continent where the World Tree is located, there is still an endless abyss between them, but driven by interests, there are still many people who risk death to shuttle between the endless abyss, gradually, the endless abyss is no longer an eternal estrangement, as long as there is a large enough interest drive, no human beings dare not do.
Although the healing ointment is very resilient, its disadvantage is also quite obvious, that is, it is easy to be interrupted during use.
Once the user is attacked, the recovery effect will be terminated.
The Suppression Blade is also the product of the forging skills of the mainland today, and because of its low price and high cost performance, it is also regarded as the most basic self-defense weapon for travel.
Magina weighed the Suppression Blade back and forth in his hand twice, and found that this blade was indeed very sharp, but he no longer knew the blade, and he also knew that the old shopkeeper's mouth was pure, "How much are these?"
The old shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, and replied, "Four hundred and fifty gold coins in all." ”
When Magina heard this, she immediately scolded the profiteer in her heart, this is not a good calculation, and she is ready to take back all the gold coins she just gave her yesterday.
"Four hundred and fifty gold coins, right?" said Magina, pulling out the gold coin pouch from her waist.
The old shopkeeper took the money bag, smiled and hurriedly counted it, but heard Majina say: "You count whether the money in the bag is enough, if it's not enough, I'll ask Captain Mei to get some." ”
As soon as he heard the name of Captain Mei, the old shopkeeper's hand twitched suddenly, and he immediately looked at Majina and asked, "What, Captain Mei asked you to come to me to buy it?"
Magina smiled: "Yes, he said that your price here is the fairest, let me come here to buy, after buying it, I will go back and tell him your price, I believe you will not cheat me!"
After hearing this, the old shopkeeper immediately smirked, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and smiled dryly at Majina: "This little brother, I didn't know that you were introduced by Captain Mei, so let's do it, for the sake of Captain Mei is my old customer here, I will sell him a face, I will charge you three hundred for these things, no, two hundred and eighty gold coins, what do you think?"
As soon as Majina heard that the other party had directly lowered nearly two hundred gold coins, the impression of the old shopkeeper in his heart suddenly fell to the bottom, originally he thought that the other party would cheat him for forty or fifty gold coins at most, but now it seems that he still underestimated the treachery of this old shopkeeper.
Magina smiled, her face was not as kind as before, and snatched the gold coin bag from the old shopkeeper's hand, "You still want money, how much that scroll was worth yesterday, you should know better than me in your heart." ”
Most of the scrolls left by the Xingyin Temple are some magic scrolls, these are the detailed explanations and analyses of their own skills by the predecessors of the Xingyin Temple, from how to comprehend the skills, to how to control the elemental power to stimulate the skills, all the key points in the process of using the skills are recorded one by one, which can be described as extremely detailed.
Although even if someone fully comprehends the content of the scroll, it is certainly impossible to master a skill that is exactly the same as that recorded in the scroll, but it can help people avoid many detours.
This is like practicing the word template, you follow the template to practice the word, it is definitely impossible to practice the same font as the template, but it can indeed help you practice a similar good word.
This kind of scroll is actually very rare, no one will record them, after all, no one wants to encounter a person who uses the same skills as themselves, it is estimated that the monks of Xingyin Temple chant and meditate all day long, and they will leave these scrolls when they are bored.
The rarity of the scroll naturally makes it expensive, and at the current price, even if the power of the fire spell is small, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for at least two thousand gold coins.
After all, with the experience guidance of the scroll, you can greatly improve the probability of a person mastering skills, in this world, as long as you master some skills that can be used, what you can change is the whole life, which is not comparable to two thousand gold coins.
Magina glared at the old shopkeeper, and didn't bother to talk to him, so she picked up her things and walked outside the shop, leaving the old shopkeeper laughing dryly, wiping sweat violently, wiping sweat violently.
The only thing he asks now is that Magina will not make a small report of himself in front of Captain Mei.
A few months ago, the picture of Captain Mei personally demolishing a shop is still vivid, and the reason is just that the other party sold an item for ten gold coins for him.
Although he believed that the relationship between this foreigner and Head Mei was not good enough for him to help Majina get ahead, leaving a handle in Haikou Town was never a good thing for his business.
Of course, Magina is not such a person, he just wants to teach the old shopkeeper a lesson.
When Majina arrived at the entrance of Haikou Town, she had already found a heavily armed team at the entrance of the town.
The team consisted of about two dozen people, five animals with leopard looks and horse-like bodies, pulling five carts full of boxes of goods.
These animals, called "dogs, horses and leopards", are a kind of hybrid breeding of monsters and wild beasts, because this beast is gentle by nature and easy to be domesticated, so they became the first beasts on the continent to be domesticated into human mounts in large numbers, similar to horses on earth.
When Merv saw Magina, he greeted him very politely, and after some greetings, he took him and ordered the team to set off.
During the trip, Magina also inquired that Merf's mission this time was to escort the boxes of ore raw materials called "refined iron ore" to a place called "Haikou City".
Haikou City is one of the few large capitals in the vicinity, and Haikou Town is under its jurisdiction.
Haikou City, is a forging weapons civilization of the capital, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, all the weapons in circulation, most of them are from here, and because of the remote terrain of Haikou Town, close to the mountains and the sea, here can be mined a lot of weapons such as "refined iron ore" such raw materials, so every three or five times, Merv will receive such an escort task.
Sitting in the car, Magina sighed with emotion.
Along the way, Merv reminded him more than once that if he could, he should never go to the Rift Shadow Wasteland, which is a dragon's lair, a place of nine deaths.
But when I think back to what happened before, whether it was my accidental blindness, the discovery of the strange scroll that recorded the Rift Shadow Wasteland, or the drifting for nearly a month, I just happened to land on the continent where the Crack Shadow Wasteland was located, and in this darkness, it was as if there was a magical power that kept pushing him behind his back, forcing him to approach the Crack Shadow Wasteland step by step.
In his heart, in fact, he was also resistant, he could have let go of everything, but whenever he recalled his younger brother, the scene of being enslaved by the god of death that night, he was so determined that he must save him, even if the chance was small.
He was convinced that the sudden appearance of the Rift Wasteland was not an occasional occurrence, and that he would succeed.
