Chapter 267: Slums

The set of witch arrays that the Church family auctioned off was only seven or eight thousand magic stones in the Land of Dawn, but when it was sold in the Barren Land, it was auctioned for a sky-high price of 80,000 magic stones.

Even with such a large profit, it is still difficult to see the witch circle in the barren land, because the land of dawn strictly controls the flow of the witch circle.

Ordinary wizards generally don't need a witch circle individually, unless they want to fortify their residences or build their own bases.

More commonly, some organizations or forces will have more demand for the witch array.

Herag and Israel talked for hours and drank a lot.

With Herag's physique, it was difficult for alcohol to have any effect on him, and he was truly not drunk.

After the conversation between the two, Israel became more appreciative of Herag.

Because he found that this young man was so knowledgeable that he could easily grasp whatever he was talking about, and it was not a half-knowledge, but a very deep understanding.

Israel had to sigh that Herag was a true genius.

After drinking, the two of them each called a carriage and went back.

There are many such carriages waiting to carry passengers near the tavern, and only these places are the only places where business is a little better at night.

When Gerag returned home, he found David already asleep, while Rees was reading a book on the principles of magic.

"Rest, it's still a long time, take your time." Herag could feel that Rees seemed to be under a lot of pressure these days.

And the source of the pressure seems to come from himself, because he is learning too fast and improving too fast.

Rees was tempted to catch up with him, but found that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Herag.

If this continues, sooner or later she will become a burden to Herag's side, which is a scene that Rees does not want to see.

So during this time, Reese studied very hard and was eager to improve.

"You're back, are you drunk?" When Rees heard the voice, she realized that Herag had returned, and her face was surprised.

Passing the Wizard Formation's assessment Herrag said it after the exam.

Herag walked over and took Reese in his arms, touched Reese's back and said, "You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, no matter how strong I become in the future, I will not leave you." ”

Reese leaned into his arms and whispered, "I know, I just don't want to drag ...... down"

"There's nothing to drag down, you just have to practice step by step. If you rush it, you will have problems. By the way, let me know when you and David reach the gasification limit and still can't break through, and I should be able to help. ”

Herag plans to give David and Rees the World Tree sap when they reach the limit of vaporization, so as to maximize the effect of the World Tree sap.

It's just that simply increasing life expectancy doesn't mean much to the two of them for the time being, both of them are young people, and it's not that time yet.

On the contrary, what they need more is a kick in the door from gasification breakthrough to liquefaction stage.

Both of them are still a long way from liquefaction, and they have to meditate and practice slowly.

"It's late at night, let's rest."

Herag's hand slid slowly......

……

Mozambique, the largest slum in Silvermoon City.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a slum.

Thrantil has always had regular food distributions to ensure that the people here have enough to eat.

Compared to the slums in the barrens, this place is not bad.

Being able to eat enough is already something that many people dream of.

Mozambique is located to the west of Silvermoon City, closest to the city walls.

There are large clusters of low-rise buildings, and if you look closely, you can see that they are all low-rise shacks.

Most of these shacks are built with some tarpaulin, and only those who have the conditions can build their houses out of wood.

In the Land of Dawn, wood is not cheap.

At least there aren't many people in the slums who can afford wood, and most people just want a shelter from the elements.

The conditions in the slums are poor, and sewage flows sideways.

Although there are sewer pipes here, they are not maintained at all, and the effect is extremely poor.

As a result, there is always a foul smell in Mozambique.

Some places are a little stronger, others are a little lighter.

As for the ubiquitous black sewage on the ground, people here have long been accustomed to it.

Many people even use slightly cleaner sewage in some places as domestic water, and many people drink the water directly on the ground.

It is common for people to get sick with diarrhea, and most people don't know until they die that they are sick because they are lying on the ground and drinking that water.

I've been like this since I was a child, and I've long been used to it.

In front of some of the shacks sat some women with white thighs, and they did not look good.

But there will always be some men in filthy clothes, who look at the white and tender thighs and swallow saliva when they pass by, and they can't walk.

After struggling for a long time, I searched all over my body and found five copper coins and handed them over.

The woman didn't care about the stolen goods on the copper coins, counted them and put them away, then dragged the man into the shack and lowered the curtain.

In the distance, there is a relatively open area, which will gather many people.

An old man who looked to be in his seventies was standing in front of a large cauldron stirring food.

Inside the pot is white flour ball-like food, which is spell bread.

It is a plant called the bread tree that wizards discovered when they were plundering other planes.

When the bread tree fruit is opened, it is filled with this white lump.

When boiled, this fruit can be turned into a large dough-like thing, and you can eat a full stomach with one piece.

It's just that it doesn't taste good, and the nutritional value is not high, just a full stomach.

In the beginning, bread trees had low fruit yields.

After being improved and cultivated by the wizards, the yield of the bread tree has increased dramatically, directly solving the problem of hunger.

Slums exist in the major cities of the Land of Dawn, and each city regularly distributes a batch of breadfruit to the slums to ensure their basic food needs.

Breadfruit is distributed to leaders in various areas of the slums, who store and distribute the food.

These people are generally people who have a certain amount of power or prestige in the slums, have certain organizational skills, and the people around them will also obey their arrangements.

Franz is one hundred and seventy-eight years old, and he is the old man of Mozambia's slums, and he is also the most knowledgeable and prestigious old man here.

He is the only official wizard here, but a crystallization-level wizard.

Many years ago, he qualified to get out of the slums and join various power organizations.

Although it is not enough to qualify for Thrantil, the other chambers of commerce and various small organizations are still casually entered, and it is much better than staying in the slums.
