Chapter 10: Black Furnace City
When Gu Yuan opened his eyes again, the sun was already hanging high in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After eating the black bread that was still very difficult to swallow and the hardness comparable to the bricks as breakfast, the four of them went back on the road after trimming it.
As the trees and grass gradually thinned out, the few people were not far from the Black Furnace City, and they could vaguely see the houses in the distance, the farmers working in the fields, and a few children playing. A few people finally made it through the forest, and according to Carter's memory, it would have taken a few days to get to Black Furnace City if they had taken a direct detour, and now it would take a few hours for a few people to reach Black Furnace City.
The farmers had apparently noticed the men who had come out of the forest, and the children were curious and ran to this side to watch not far away, chattering without knowing what they were discussing, but they were reprimanded by several adults, as if to let them go home. And most of the peasants looked at the people with some fear in their eyes.
Leo and Amy and even Gu Yuan seemed to be surprised by all this in front of them, although Carter was a waste material, at least he was a nobleman, and sometimes the other people who went out to the viscount territory of Dras looked at him like this.
The group continued to hurry, probably because of the corpse of Amy, who was dressed in petite clothes, and had a large hole in her heart dug on her back. A few people continue to attract the attention of the surrounding residents.
I don't know how long it took to continue on the road, looking at the tall city wall in the distance, Gu Yuan knew that he had finally arrived at his destination, the Black Furnace City. After Leo took out his mercenary badge and showed it to the two patrol teammates guarding the door, he respectfully let a few people go, without even asking what happened to the corpse that Amy was carrying.
The city is very lively, with vendors selling their wares, citizens shopping, and merchants transporting goods.
After a few people arrived in the city, Leo looked at Gu Yuan and made a mage salute: "Mr. Gu Yuan, Miss Ice Thorn's Black Furnace City has arrived, let's leave it at that." I wish you all the best in your journey to the Northern Aoguang, and may the gods protect you to find your own path. ”
Amy, who was on the side, also nodded at the two, as if saying goodbye.
The gods are sheltered, and it's enough for me not to kill me. Gu Yuan muttered in his heart and returned the salute: "Master Leo, Miss Amy, goodbye, thank you for your care along the way. ”
After saying goodbye, Gu Yuan took Snow Thorn and walked around the Black Furnace City for a long time, mainly to find a few shops that could sell books on necromancy at a low price, but there were only a few large and small magic prop shops in the city, and the prices were all expensive.
Gu Yuan looked at the necromancy primer on the shelf, his brows furrowed slightly, my sister's book costs 50 gold coins, why don't you grab it!
This is still the cheapest of the several prop shops, although it is only a fraction of the others.
Snow Thorn on the side was a little puzzled, and thought that the young master took him to these prop magic shops to buy some medicine scrolls and other things to defend himself, but why did the young master keep staring at those magic books, it is not a secret to know that the young master has an excessive talent in the family.
The owner of the magic props shop on the side squinted at Gu Yuan in front of him, with a professional and impeccable smile on his face, looking at Gu Yuan's somewhat painful expression, judging from his years of experience, he knew that the deal had been stable.
"Boss, I want this magic book. Gu Yuan pointed to the magic book on the shelf, and at the same time, he took out the money-making bag with his hand in his arms, and slowly took out 50 gold coins.
The shopkeeper's fat face had an even better smile, and he took the black-skinned Necromancy Primer from the shelf and handed it to Gu Yuan.
"Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to come next time. ”
I hope there will be no next time, I rolled my eyes, regardless of the shopkeeper who seemed to have a word written on his face. Walked straight out of the store.
The snow thorn behind him stared at Gu Yuan with some confusion, but he didn't say anything, it was very rude for the maid to ask the master about things that she shouldn't inquire about, even if she was hiring a maid and not selling herself, there were some things that she still had to abide by.
I wandered around aimlessly with snow thorns, and the night was already dark. I found an inn with a strange name called Giant Bear Roar and walked in, where a bard sat on a table playing a song he didn't know, and opened two rooms at the counter, one room for 5 silver coins a day, which was not too expensive. After taking the menu and ordering a few good dishes, the two sat at the table and waited for the food to be served.
It is worth mentioning that the innkeeper at the counter is as strong as a bear and has a beard, which may be the reason why this shop is named Giant Bear Roar.
Gu Yuan looked at the people around him, and saw that most of the clothes were some travelers like himself, carrying some luggage, and there were also a few local civilians. There were also a few mercenary men with swords drinking on the side.
After waiting for a short time, it was finally served. Gu Yuan, who had eaten several meals of black bread, immediately feasted on it, and he didn't care about things like etiquette. And Snow Thorn was just smiling quietly on the side, staring at Gu Yuan and nibbling on the bread in his hand.
"Why don't you eat the vegetables, if it doesn't suit your taste, you can order it casually. Gu Yuan looked up and saw that Snow Thorn had been gnawing on dry bread, and his mouth was full of food to urge Snow Thorn
"Young master, no, it's enough for Snow Thorn to eat bread. Snowthorn smiled
Gu Yuan shook his head: "What's the point of just eating bread, eating vegetables, you don't need to save money for the young master." ”
Snow Thorn looked at Gu Yuan's insistent attitude, nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of roast rabbit leg and gnawed on it, his face was a little red in the light of the inn's oil lamp. Does the young master care about me?
After drinking and eating, Gu Yuan and Snow Thorn also went to the upstairs of the inn to the room that had been opened before.
The rooms of the two were next to each other, which was also what Gu Yuan asked the innkeeper for.
Take the key to the inn and open the door, go in and see, the decoration of the room is not gorgeous, and it can even be said that it is a little simple sorry for the price of 5 silver coins, but it is very clean and almost spotless.
Tell Snowthorn that she wants to sleep, and let Snowthorn go back to her room and get some rest.
Gu Yuan lay on the soft bed for a while, and he had the impression that he hadn't slept in bed for a long time.
From his bosom, he took out the book "Introduction to Necromantic Magic" that he had bought before, this book should be made of some special material, and it feels very comfortable to touch.
With some excitement, Gu Yuan slowly opened the book "Introduction to Necromantic Magic" in his hand
