In the Berken Empire, with Andover as the center, it is still possible to ensure the existence of order within a radius of ten kilometers, and within this range, one qiē is normal, except for some monsters invading from time to time, all one qiē is normal. And this is also a destination for merchants, the small city is very lively, there are taverns, inns and all kinds of shops everywhere, blacksmith shops are also everywhere, there are at least a dozen or twenty high-end dwarven blacksmith shops on the mainland, and the elves and even the enchantment and magic prop shops of the gray spire have completely ignored any competition in the industry, and opened a number of blacksmith shops in one go.

In this city, there are almost no civilians left, all of them are people who seem to be strong or actually strong, who haunt temples, cemeteries, inns, taverns, unions, and all kinds of shops, and a lot of money and goods and raw materials flow here, and the taxes paid by a city here are almost equal to the amount of a county in the Belken Empire - but the empire still cannot invest large amounts of resources. That's all because of the damn Sea Kings, whenever the money received is about to be sent to the empire mainland, whether the money is put on the ship or put on the ship in a space bag, without exception it will be attacked by the sea dragons in the Sea Kings class, usually only one of the hundred gold coins may return to the mainland, and the rest of the gold coins will be taken away by the sea dragon as their own collection - of course, the sea dragon is very smart, as long as the gold coins are obediently handed over, it will not sink the ship. For this reason, merchants traveling between the two sides of the strait usually did not carry large amounts of gold coins, but replaced the role of gold coins with raw materials and props, but the empire could only stare dryly - the props and raw materials produced here in Andoff were too low in size and in large quantities. This alone really can't make up for the loss of tax converted into goods - they even have to worry about whether it will impact the Empire's original market. Of course, Andoff also has a lot of strange things to produce. But the price is very difficult to estimate. It's just that that's what the magicians value.

As for jumping with space, the magic of chaos will teach those who want to try it out how to behave. After Zhou Zhongmou and Misha came to Andorf, they were also dazzled for a while. The shops here sell so much of the stuff, but the prices are so expensive, at least 30% more expensive than on the mainland. Zhou Zhongmou looked at Misha, "How much money do we have?"

Fortunately, ordinary adventure equipment doesn't cost much, and Misha, as a woman, naturally likes shopping and bargaining, so she used a large folding tent with a simple magic insulation function for a price that Zhou Zhongmou was eye-populating, and then a complete set of field cooking utensils, and of course, a lot of alchemical potions for combustion. According to Zhou Zhongmou's taste. Misha also bought a lot of special seasonings, and of course, in the end, waterproof and warm monster fur was indispensable. Of course, Zhou Zhongmou still managed to borrow the stove and apprentice's platform in a blacksmith shop to help him build a few weapons again.

As usual, it was a pistol with a steel head, the length was about the same as Zhou Zhongmou's height, and it was difficult to carry and inconvenient if it was long—this type of spear was for military use. Then there was the hand axe, which Zhou Zhongmou specially designed to be hung on a spear to form an axe gun. Then there were still a few daggers and daggers, and he gave Misha a few for self-defense, and finally he built a heavy one-handed broadsword that he used as his main melee weapon. Bows and arrows are sold here more expensive than melee weapons, among the various enchanted bows. In the end, Zhou Zhongmou just bought a composite strong bow with steel bars twisted into a bow arm, and it was still Misha who bargained. The bow was bought for the most expensive of all the things they bought, and of course Misha asked the boss to give him a pot of arrows.

After everything was ready, Zhou Zhongmou took Misha to the tavern - they still wanted a good meal when they left, and new maps could be bought in the tavern, and Zhou Zhongmou had another wish of his own - he didn't want Misha to go on an adventure with him, preferring to let this woman wait for him in this safer place. Of course, this wish shamefully failed, and under the woman's tears and the act of grabbing his sleeve, Zhou Zhongmou reluctantly admitted his defeat.

A large man with a woman leading a pack horse with gray fur walked towards an unknown place. "This map is also a little too rudimentary, the Berken Empire has figured out such a place in Novaya Zemlya for so many years? Can this still be called a big country? Can you still call me the most powerful country in the world in terms of Belken's technological power? Bah!" Zhou Zhongmou said as he walked while looking at the map in his hand, in fact, he was surprised enough - for the fact that the map in his hand was actually a contour map. Looking at the contour map in my hand, it also indicates the origin of some raw materials that have been discovered, and because of the simple magic addition, it can show more things than on the map - there is also a simple map of the distribution of monsters. But this map also covers an area of about one hundred and twenty kilometers around Andorf, and the efforts of the Belken Empire over the years have come to an end, and the magic of map coverage allows Zhou Zhongmou to automatically switch to a large-scale map if he wants to see anywhere, but the contour line after enlargement is still quite crude. The map is waterproof, fireproof and friction-resistant, and the price of such a map is by no means cheap. The adventure groups here have their own unique maps with different markings, and few will buy a new map - most adventurers go to an area that is about twenty kilometers outside the city, and they mainly rely on memory to identify their location.

Zhou Zhongmou followed the path that adventurers had stepped on for many years, and because of this, some of the weaker monsters would automatically avoid this path to avoid being hunted by humans, and of course, some strong monsters who liked to eat fresh meat would wander around the road, trying to get some canned fresh meat to taste from time to time. Of course, now Zhou Zhongmou is very satisfied with this, their dry food is to be used when they are more nervous, and there are fools who don't open their eyes to deliver meat to the door, which is really a good thing. Zhou Zhongmou walked back from a leopard-like beast that had fallen to the ground with six limbs, the skulls in the two pairs of eyes on the head of the large leopard had been smashed, and the penetrating wound in the throat was the direct cause of the death of the beast. What Zhou Zhongmou was holding in his hand was a large piece of muscle, which was the piece of flesh he had torn from between the ribs of the leopard-like monster's chest, "Look, it's another one." I don't know what the meat of this thing tastes like, but it doesn't seem good to ask!" Zhou Zhongmou muttered at Misha, who was now pouring water from a large endless water bottle into the cauldron, and she was responsible for cleaning the flesh of the beast that Zhou Zhong had murdered. The blood that came out of the cleanse was very fishy, and Zhou Zhongmou almost immediately did not expect anything from the flesh of the beast he had killed.

Sure enough, this guy's meat is thick and fishy, and it is quite difficult to swallow. Zhou Zhongmou spit it out after only taking a bite, and Misha also frowned and drank a small mouthful of soup before throwing out the whole pot of soup. "It's really a worthless thing, fierce is quite fierce, but this meat is too unpalatable!" Zhou Zhongmou flipped through the huge notebook he always carried, this notebook full of strange magic has now recorded a lot of monster information, and the monster information and herb information engraved in every place he went to is now enough to build a small library. He quickly found the information of the monster in this notebook, "Six-clawed leopard, a rare monster." It's extremely ferocious and fast and flexible, but it should be an extra stroke on it, and it's super unpalatable. (To be continued......)
