57. Diametrically opposed

Toth sat in the carriage with the box in his arms and watched as the prairie gradually turned into a barren saline land. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Unlike the grandeur of the novel, this caravan has been walking peacefully in the grassland for a week, during which nothing has happened.

This is the normal life of the caravan, hard and boring, at first the mercenaries are still bragging to each other, the atmosphere of the team is lively, but after ten days of travel, the strongest warriors also shut their mouths, and the whole team can no longer hear a conversation, only the hooves and limbs of the horses' trotting, the clatter of armor and the creak of wheels.

Going to Fell to get paid and finding a tavern to splurge on is the only reason they have been able to hold on until now.

Perhaps for the sake of provocation, Fell, a city near the sea, was built in the desert - its founders placed it on the border between the Sea of Chaos and the Sea of Death, where the chaotic breeze never brought a trace of moisture, and the evaporation was negligible compared to the rainfall, which quickly spread the sandy beach into a vast saline field.

Moreover, Phil does not have a wall, which is extremely rare in Yerevan, and is located in an open plain, and a permanently enchanted wall would be an extremely reliable line of defense.

As the site of the most notorious alchemy and worst magical research, the environmental damage is devastating, so when Celia covers her nose and asks what the bad smell is, Toth knows that they are now truly in Fair's radiation zone.

The smell was terrible, like the smell of burnt rubber mixed with strong acidic gas, even the fine mask prepared in advance could not completely isolate it, until Toth taught [acclimatization] to this guy with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, that she calmed down a little, couldn't help coughing twice, looking at the gray-green sky in front of her, the city is more than described, more, Toth thought for a long time, and gave an almost insulting word - dirty.

In fact, Fell's original intention was to ensure that the mage's experiments were not hindered by opposing forces, so that they could prove their theories and discoveries to the world in the open, and the souls of the city were founded to pursue freedom from Belmar's overly conservative rules.

It's just that, from the beginning of the research content that was considered to have a bottom line, to the later for different reasons, the distorted view of Belmar and the loose and indulgent management and control of magical research, made this place finally become a place with an extremely harsh living environment, powerful, rich, but not suitable for life.

Toth rejects Celia's spell aid, activating the gas filtration function on the new robes, which is also worthy of its high price. Adapting to the environment is only a temporary improvement in the tolerance of the environment, it is still possible to be damaged by the environment, and if you go to the sea of fire with this spell, you will still be burned to death, and there is an obviously problematic gas like this, and there is a slight feeling of neurotoxins mixed with it, which is just a bad smell for Celia, and for herself, it may be permanent damage.

As the caravan continued to approach, a faint layer of mist enveloped them, different from the white that Toth often saw in the forest, the light gray mixed with a little yellow-green composition made people sick, such a dry place would actually fog, Toth frowned suddenly, I'm afraid it's just a simple floating dust, in this place where there is no moisture.

Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, as if they didn't want to stay in the fog too much, and the speed of the entire caravan also increased, just when Thoth felt that he was about to lose his vision in the thicker and thicker poisonous fog, a huge semicircular transparent cover appeared in his field of vision, in the dense to almost substantial fog, like a glass under the button, the smoke was billowing outside, and the inside was extremely pure, if you didn't look at the stout huge exhaust pipes that were still spewing smoke.

The destination is just around the corner.

The caravan had walked a little further, and when it finally entered the area of effect of the semi-dome, almost everyone felt light, and the experienced handymen were already working on taking off special masks for the livestock, the smell was still unpleasant, but not to the point where they needed a mask to breathe.

The restored view is quite clear, and roughly estimated, the top of the protective shield is about a few kilometers in the air, and the buildings with strange shapes are scattered in every corner of the city, forming a compact table. Different from the architectural style of the white dome of Belmar, the ubiquitous straight lines and triangles, the customary spikes pointing straight into the sky, the colorful façade of the building as a whole creates a rebellious and perverse atmosphere, flowing blue-green and orange-yellow magical halos, and several diamond-shaped huge metal-like buildings slowly floating in the air at a height of several hundred meters above the ground.

The leader took out a disc-shaped coordinate instrument half the size of a palm, confirmed the direction of entering the city, and beckoned the caravan not to stop.

When he really wanted to step into the city, Thoth knew its hypocrisy, there was no city wall, because the city wall would be breached, and all they used [Death Line] to surround the city, which would indiscriminately destroy everything that tried to pass through the object, and there was almost no solution without destroying the energy device, Thoth remembered the chest high wall south of Belmar, and he didn't want to take a detour out of the city and flip it over.

The caravan halted its pace, for a tall arch lay before them, the building which the mages of Fell called the Gate of Truth, which sat on all eight entrances and exits of the city, and even above the port, as they had always thought so arrogantly.

The two trolls guarding under the arch staggered towards the caravan, and with a height of nearly four meters, they easily blocked the already small arch, which was a deformed large man even in the general troll community.

Although they sat there, the two behemoths still looked at the caravan condescendingly, probably feeling that this was not majestic enough, and stood up straight again, almost shouting out, "The entrance fee, three thousand tams." ”

Thoth's eyes lit up, and he was curious about their enslavers, as a man-eating troll, it was naturally impossible for him to survive on his own in this city, and it was a miracle that a troll known for his fierce and stupid low IQ would actually collect money from the city.

To Toth's surprise, one of the trolls spotted him, and with a light called cunning in his eyes, he walked straight to him regardless of the caravan, pointed at him and shouted, "You, mage, money, thirty thousand, no, three hundred thousand." ”

Three hundred thousand, almost four thousand to five thousand Quintalo, it can't be a mage's entrance fee, this city that welcomes all mages with the same idea, and it doesn't put two trolls in front of the arch, everyone knows that this thing doesn't have much intelligence.

Although Toth would like to cut open their brains now and see what kind of transformation the person behind them has done, but now, he has to solve the problem in front of him first, if the spell casting ability is still there, a simple [exorcism monster] can play with these two brainless guys to death, maybe let them put a few drops of magic acid into their eye sockets to improve the problem of not opening their eyes, but now, obviously can't do this.

And most importantly, when were they targeted? The appearance of trolls is not accidental, in Yerevan no one has dared to play such a joke with a mage.

Simple temptation, if you show forbearance now, then there will be a second time, a third time, each time more than the last, until you find the bottom line.

It wasn't a good choice to let Celia do it, this guy who looked like a warlock more than a mage, was more exposed than himself in a place full of mages, however, Toth, who thought of a way, pulled out a scroll and tore a corner to reveal a cumbersome gold wire pattern.

The moment they saw this pattern, the troll's eyes couldn't leave, in Yerevan, this pattern generally represented a gold exchange voucher, and the lowest value was more than 100,000 tams.

"Good luck, Lord Troll. Toth whispered, Your Excellency, never a title for a troll.

Throwing the scroll out at will, Toth quickly pulled Celia around the troll who was clumsily tearing the scroll, and after a few steps, a huge explosion erupted in a small area, and the bright light that flashed in an instant was weird without a sound, and when the sight of everyone present returned to normal, only two troll remains without half of their bodies were seen.

Forcibly tearing open the scroll that is not your own and being written and guided will not have very good consequences.

Hide a voucher in the scroll, a trick used by a famous spirit sucker a long time ago, but it just works.
