Chapter 64: New Goals

In the crowded streets, Kurt of the Silver Hand saw the mage Rez pass quickly with ease, turning two blocks and shaking off all the people behind him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For this newly inaugurated mage, his curiosity was overflowing, and his desire to win him into the organization became extremely urgent, after all, the mages of the combat school were really rare treasures.

Lu Bin successfully shook off the pursuers behind him, and only after the spell effect of the oil on the soles of his feet was over did he stop his rapid turn, and used deep breaths to calm his somewhat tired body after intense exercise.

The boiling youthful blood in his body cooled slightly, and he suddenly remembered something, and immediately reached out to take off the brass clover badge on his chest and hid it under the collar of his coat.

Lu Bin left the straight gravel road, looked up and saw the signboard of the nearby storefront, found the sign with scissors and a measuring tape, counted the number of scissors, thought about it carefully, and walked into this ready-to-wear shop with at least four tailors.

The light in the shop was a little dark, and the bundles of clothes were laid out on the counter, all of which were of ordinary color, and the valuable ones were in the back storeroom.

Lu Bin's eyes were not on these raw materials, he heard the relevant rumors in the Alfalfa Flower Tavern, the ready-to-wear shops in Blackwater Town were also in the pawn shop business, and there were even transactions to buy old clothes, repair them and sell them at a high price.

Just like the blacksmith shop not only sells all kinds of weapons and accepts orders from adventurers, but also hoards a lot of charcoal before the change of seasons and sells it at a higher price when the weather is cold.

This is also similar to the characteristics of the new pioneer territory of Blackwater Town, the field of material circulation has become a mess due to the intervention of various forces, except for the grain reserves of strategic materials, which are tightly grasped by the lord, and there are some overlaps in various commercial fields.

Diversification was a necessity for the merchants, and the chaotic market had not yet established real order, at least until Lord Nell Austin had the strength to set the rules of commerce for his territory, and most importantly, the tax rate was accepted by all parties, and this chaos would continue for a long time.

At the same time, taking advantage of information asymmetry, predators with large capital and material reserves are using hoarding to make huge profits in this emerging pioneer territory.

Lu Bin knew a little about this, but his net worth was only half a month's worth of daily expenses, and the money looted by the adventurer didn't add up much.

"This group of poor ghosts who are drunk today and drunk today have no habit of saving, no wonder the equipment is a pile of tatters. ”

Lu Bin used four copper plates to buy a new cloak with sleeves, and because it had been washed, there was no unpleasant smell, which made him very satisfied.

Untied the cloak that had been torn off, Lu Bin carefully folded the collection, changed into the thick cloth cloak he had just bought, wore his loose hair behind his head with a ribbon, borrowed a bronze mirror from the tailor of the ready-to-wear shop, and used his sword to bareage the bearded goblin that had stubble.

The old tailor nodded secretly, "It's a refreshing feeling, it's not bad, but compared with just now, there is no big change, and it's easy for people to recognize." ”

He seemed to know very well the reason behind Lu Bin's series of actions just now, "Your Excellency Venerable Mage, when you changed your coat just now, the badge that appeared under the collar, I can understand what is going on at a glance. And your one-handed sword, which must also be a famous sword with a history, should be slightly disguised, rather than allowing it to attract the attention of others and provoke the covetousness and snatching of people with intentions. ”

Lu Bin did not take the old tailor's words as the wind in his ears, humbly accepted the other party's opinion, and wrapped the handle of the silk sword tightly with strips of rags according to his instructions. As for the position of the clover badge, the old tailor did not put his beak in his mouth, but rather admired the mage's little tricks.

"Your Excellency the Mage, I guess you've only recently arrived in Blackwater. He saw Lu Bin nodding silently, and his tone became much more relaxed, probably because he was very good at talking and making the old tailor happy.

"Yours is at the right time, the beasts in the territory have been basically wiped out by the lord's army. The natives were conscripted on the spot and reduced to slavery to serve on various knights' estates. As for the inhabitants of the darkness, the wise people have long since fled, and those who do not want to leave have become medals and military exploits of heroes after resistance. There must still be some remaining forces, but they are all small people who have not made any waves, and as opponents who sharpen their own strength, the task of dealing with them has been sent by the lord to the adventurer's union or a large mercenary organization. ”

Lu Bin was a little surprised, he didn't expect the old man in front of him, although he didn't go out, but the news channel was obviously very well-informed, and he actually knew the latest situation on the bulletin board of the adventurer's registration office.

When he expressed his surprise, the old tailor did not lie and deceive people, but directly told him the reason: "I am not a well-informed person, but I also listen to the guests who come and go! All this has a routine, after all, the northern frontier is not long, not short, and after a few decades, the big men above have long figured out the law and formulated a whole set of countermeasures." ”

Lu Bin immediately voiced his doubts: "I heard people in the tavern that among Lord Nell Austin's spell advisors, there are powerful dark wizards serving him, do you think this will be the smoke released by the heart?"

"There is no doubt at all, there must be. As long as they are willing to be harnessed and used by nobles, even dark wizards can be reused, this is the way to survive in the North. ”

Lu Bin no longer had any doubts, he felt that his undead creatures could be taken out openly, as long as he had an official identity...... In other words, the second-level mage should have a bit of weight, but he still has to work hard to improve his own strength.

If you want to be rich, jungle, farm monsters, and rob ancient tombs.

Lu Bin immediately remembered this wise saying, make a fortune in the jungle, farm monsters to get rich, as for the ancient tombs...... He immediately remembered the Dark Wizard Castle in the Whisper Swamp, although it had been cleaned up by the regular army once, it was estimated that it would definitely become dangerous again after a while, it was not a powerful adventurer's union, only a large mercenary organization could enter.

"Because the site is vast and you can come and go, there are no idle people nearby who can completely let go of your hands and feet, and there are a large number of undead creatures under your command, my starting location is the best place to choose the Filthy Swamp. ”

According to the rules, Lu Bin used two copper plates as intelligence fees, and thanked the old tailor for his suggestion, he knew that the number was a little small, but he didn't have much in his pocket, but the old man didn't care at all, and he was already satisfied with an extra harvest.

After all, this information is also available elsewhere, and he is just used to fool the newcomers who have just arrived in Blackwater Town, and the old tailor would rather choose a visible monetary reward than a long-term friendship with His Excellency the Mage.

Of course, Lu Bin knew the reason, for the old man's choice, he just felt that short-sightedness was not necessarily a bad thing, thinking about the age of the tailor, everything could be relieved.

After the makeover, he returned to the bulletin board again, and no one dared to take the task about the Filthy Swamp, Lu Bin stepped forward and took down a task to clean up the dungeon of the Dark Wizard's Castle without hesitation.

According to reliable sources, that is, the test records collected by the army directly under Nell Austin and responsible for clearing the territory, there are undead creatures made by the dark wizard himself in the dungeon, although the strength is superior to that of the same kind, because it is difficult to control the experimental specimens that are considered failures, which attracted Lu Bin's attention.

The mercenaries who stayed nearby couldn't help but laugh when they saw the most difficult task being taken by a newcomer they had never seen before. However, there were also sharp-eyed veterans in the crowd, and when they saw the spell book that this person was carrying, they suddenly came to their senses, understood Lu Bin's identity, and secretly stopped the rude words and deeds of their companions.

The adventurers who are quite interested in this difficult task are also not stupid people, they all see that Lu Bin has the identity of a mage, considering that there are a few spellcasters in Blackwater Town, when there are more newcomers, they have an impression, and immediately remembered the good hand who jumped over the level to apply for the second-level mage badge not long ago.

"Teaming up?"

Lu Bin heard the familiar and unfamiliar greeting, remembered some good memories, and was originally a little moved, but his secret came first, and he found the shooter around him who didn't know when to squeeze in, with a look of hope, and shook his head firmly.

The mage's silent refusal surprised this person a little, and he was originally a little annoyed in his heart, but considering the identity of the other party, he smiled awkwardly and immediately stepped away.

The others didn't want to go up to make themselves bored, and when they saw the combat mage turn around the crowd and walk alone outside the town, some senior adventurers with the same destination followed suit.

Stryker, the head of the Silver Hand, waited for a long time when he realized that his target had indeed gone and returned, and turned to his friend and said, "Kurt, you can go and have a look." The swamp is dangerous, and the dead under the water are awakened by the dark wizard, so you have to be careful. ”

"Brother Stryker, don't worry, when my double-edged axe was repaired, the alchemists in the organization deliberately used silver to attach a layer of arcane coating, which was very effective against undead creatures. ”

Although his riding skills were not very good and the savings in his money bag were not surplus, Lu Bin bought a retired military horse with a somewhat lame front hoof at a fairly cheap price at a chariot and horse shop near the exit of Heishui Town.

The steward of the carriage and horse shop saw that Lu Bin exposed the clover badge under the collar to sell the ice horse with good foot strength at a low price, but despite this, he still made a lot of money, and the profit was at least quadrupled from the original price.

Lu Bin vaguely sensed that there was something inside, but it was much better to have a horse to walk than to rely on his own legs, at least when he galloped to the Obscenity Swamp, there were immediately fewer idle people and others who vaguely appeared around him.

"How dare a man venture into a swamp?" the mage, who had just worn the brass clover badge, was too bold. ”

Most of the adventurer teams with the idea of soliciting immediately extinguished their ideas, and only a few well-prepared mercenary organizations or large adventurer unions dared to continue to enter the game, including the Silver Hand "Twin Gun Kot", who became more and more interested in the second-level mage Lord Rez.

Lu Bin, a lone traveler on the road, rode a retired disabled military horse and quickly approached the Obscene Swamp southwest of Heishui Town, and the harvested wheat fields along the way, as well as a large vacant wasteland that stored soil fertility, quickly receded in the field of vision.

"Filthy swamp, I'm coming. ”
