Chapter 59: Taymour Heights
After taking a turn, Kennan realized that there wasn't anything worth buying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info So, Kennan, who was not interested, left the public market and turned around to look at the slave market next door.
Kenan didn't go to the slave market to buy any slaves, but mainly to come and open his eyes. After all, he has never seen such a scene in two lifetimes, so he should watch it fresh. Walking above the slave market, Kenan didn't smell the stench he imagined. Kennan thought about it and understood why. After all, these slaves were the precious property of the slave merchants, and a clean, healthy, and strong slave was worth a lot more than a dirty, thin, sick, and sick slave. And clean slaves, neat slaves are also more likely to attract buyers to bid. These greedy merchants will naturally dress up with these moving gold coins.
Kenan took a look, and most of the slaves were human soldier captives, all soldiers of the Suriname Empire captured by the rock fortress. There were also a small number of noble family members, and these were the fate of the losers in the power struggle. If it weren't for the fact that Kenan's current former owner had escaped the capture of the army by not returning to the castle after visiting the forest, Kenan might have appeared in the slave market like the families of these nobles after crossing over, and it might have been a different scene. The book begins with a slave boy leading a mass slave rebellion. To get aside, the families of these nobles who lost the struggle were generally sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder or sent to the mines as coolies. Younger girls may be bought as maids-in-waiting, and older ones may be rewarded to faithful servants. If no one really wants it, it may be used as bait and thrown into the twilight forest to attract some predators who like to eat people. Anyway, the beasts don't care about the appearance or age of their prey.
Kennan, just like that, didn't want to buy one or two back. While it was easy to buy one hundred and eighty slaves with his money, they were of little value to Kenan. Those strong cannon fodder soldiers, Kennan can take down a piece with a single shattering blade. Although this witchcraft is used to attack some magical beasts, it is definitely a matter of killing as many as you want to deal with this kind of cannon fodder. As for the maids, first of all, Kenan has too many secrets, and it is inconvenient for someone to be around. The second is that Kennan is now on a journey, and if he buys a maid, he will have to take care of her safety, and if he dies halfway, the money will be spent in vain, and it is simply spending money to buy sin. Third, there are really no good goods thrown into the slave market, and most of the really young and beautiful goods are predestined to be intercepted by the big nobles. Those who appear on the market are the ones that everyone picks and the rest. Of course, Kenan, who came out to mix, naturally wanted to be faced, and naturally wanted to emphasize the first two points. As for the third point, everyone should just assume that they didn't see it.
After walking around and realizing that there was really nothing to be gained, Kenan returned to the inn and began to work on upgrading the Alchemy Glove. The day before yesterday, Kenan had just finished analyzing the witchcraft of One Finger Thunder and stored the witchcraft model in the spiritual sea. This novel model of witchcraft gave Kenan a lot of inspiration, and gave Kenan a new idea for the creation of demonized items. Kenan tried to add two sets of rune arrays to the original runes of the alchemy glove, which immediately increased the damage from 20 degrees to 40 degrees, and added a witchcraft circle that absorbs free energy on the back of the glove's hand, further reducing the consumption of magic stones. Although Kennan is rich, if he can save a little, he should not waste it.
After two days, Kenan finally completed the transformation of the alchemy glove in his left hand, although he only completed the transformation of one alchemy glove, but it has improved Kenan's strength a lot. Kenan believed that if he encountered another brown python, he would be able to beat it all over the ground with the lightning chain on the alchemy glove.
The three-day rest day passed in a flash, and Kennan and the others naturally could not stay any longer, so they had to set foot on the road to Coolum again.
Out of the city of Daquia, go 300 miles south to the Taimo Heights. In contrast to the sorcery-polluted plains of sick wood and twilight forests, walking on the Taymour Heights is like an outing. Ordinary animals naturally avoided the Komodo dragon when they saw the rushing Komodo dragon. Most of the people who didn't want to avoid it became Kennan's group's lunch. The only thing to watch out for is the Cyclops roaming the Taimo Heights, these giants, who are on average four meters tall, are not very good-tempered and do not have enough brains, and they want to compete when they meet huge creatures. The reason why this creature has not become extinct is probably because of its useless sour flesh, which can only feed on scavengers, and because of its amazing fertility. It only takes two years for a cyclops to go from conception to adulthood. It's a miracle of the Creator. If it weren't for the Cyclops' outrageously low IQ, the wizards would have suspected that the Cyclops was the illegitimate child of the Creator.
For there was no good in slaying the cyclops, these guys were poorer than goblins, and had almost nothing but the sticks in their hands. Moreover, there are no materials on him that wizards need. Therefore, Kennan and his party will stay away when they see the cyclops. Out of sight. Anyway, the Taimo Heights are almost a huge plain, and there are only a few snow-capped mountains at the end of the distant horizon as a reference, as long as you take a compass to determine the direction, you are not afraid of getting lost.
After nearly a week of running on the Taymor Heights, the scenery around me has hardly changed except for the distant peaks that are a little closer. Kennan and the others were also a little tired. Unlike the nervous tension of the twilight forest, which is constantly vigilant around you, the unchanging scenery on the Taymour Heights gives people more of a feeling of mental depression. It gives people the feeling that they have been abandoned by the world, running towards a goal, but they will never reach it. The sky grew dark, and a thick layer of cumulonimbus clouds pressed down like a heavy lump of lead.
"It's going to rain, so let's find a place to shelter from it. Martin shouted to the rear.
"There's a building in front of the boss, should we go and see it? At this moment, the gold coin shouted loudly in front of him.
Everyone looked in the direction the gold coin pointed, and sure enough, a complex of buildings appeared in front of them. The pale cyan walls are as thick and heavy as the stones of the Taymour Heights. The gray spire rises high, like a sharp sword to pierce the sky. One of the broken doors was half-hidden, the other had collapsed to the ground, and a few stubborn weeds had grown out of the cracks in the door panels.
"It looks like a ruin, how about it? Do you want to go in?"
"It looks like a storm is coming, let's go in and have a look, I heard that the storm on the Tymore Heights is very strong, although we have a Bigelen Hut, but it would be better to have an extra layer of insurance, although this building has been abandoned, but it is enough to stand for so many years is enough to prove how strong it is, at least it can provide us with a place to shelter from the storm. That's when Liana gave her opinion.
After discussing it, everyone felt that what Liana said was quite reasonable, so they entered the complex through the collapsed gate.
