Chapter 108: Preparation... Let's go
Early the next morning, Jia Yi dragged the rest of the people out of bed, took March to check the information, and the rest went to buy horses.
After arriving at the association, the association had just opened, and if Jiayi was a little earlier, he could only wait outside. Even so, Jiayi, who came so early, still received a lot of strange looks. Although many mages are busy and don't care about day and night, they really haven't met a few who come to the association early in the morning, and of course, there aren't many mages in the entire imperial capital.
Jia Yi and a few of them at least increased the number of mages in the imperial capital by 30%.
Taking March to the library, Jia Yi said hello to Peggy, and plunged headlong into the vast sea of books, looking for every book that might be related. However, fortunately, travelogue books are not precious, and most of them, except for a few, can be consulted with the permission of March.
Next, March was outside, and Jia Yi went to the place inside that needed more permissions to search, and the two worked together to start a long search task.
In the afternoon, the rest of the people came over and helped them start looking for information.
Fortunately, although the collection of books in the library is not small, there are not many travelogue books, only a dozen or so, and the books at this time are not like online novels, one or two million words at every turn, or even tens of millions of words, and the books at this time are generally only hundreds of thousands of words, and hundreds of thousands of words are considered to be masterpieces.
As a mage, speed reading is a basic ability, and there is no need to memorize it, so in the evening, they copied all the useful information they found, and for the sake of insurance, even some books that may not be travelogues, and finally got some useful information.
In the end, Jia Yi spent 8 points to borrow a spell book that specializes in survival in the wild, and ordinary books don't need points to read in the library, but points are required for borrowing. And like spell books, in addition to basic spell books, even reading requires points, but very little is needed.
This spellbook contains a lot of practical skills, in addition to basic wayfinding, there are also basic spells for identifying poisonous plants, finding water, safe shelter, and so on. Many of the spells are not complicated, just a few minor changes to the traditional spells, but they are very useful, especially for this pair of beginners.
Although Jia Yi has also been to the field alone before, and Imu has also specially trained in this area, but after all, he is not experienced enough, and he has a sense of security with a book as a foundation.
Perhaps!
Upon returning to his residence, Kaichi saw the mounts they had bought, five sturdy wildebeests, and in particular, an ironclad rhinoceros. The ironclad rhinoceros is the result of many artificial crosses of the Kodo beast, with the blood of the Kodo beast, strong stamina, heavy load, good temper, except for the slightly slow speed, there are no shortcomings. And on long journeys, in fact, the lack of speed is also masked by endurance.
For them to be able to buy a wildebeest, although it was a little unexpected, but Jiayi can still accept it, after all, there are many knights in the imperial capital, and it is reasonable that there are excellent wildebeests for sale, and the three mages stand at the door, and few chambers of commerce have the courage not to sell. But the ironclad rhinoceros is different, this excellent pack beast is not the same as that that ordinary chambers of commerce can have, even on the scale of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, there are no ironclad rhinoceros, because no chamber of commerce is willing to sell them to them. Of course, part of the reason is that the Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in high-quality products, and the requirements for transportation are not so high, so the demand for ironclad rhinoceros is not so strong.
Jia Yi didn't hide his thoughts, and asked directly: "Chester, how did you get this rhinoceros? ”
"It's borrowed, there is a chamber of commerce that has some relationship with the family, so I borrowed an ironclad rhinoceros to come over, some of the more bulky goods can be carried on its back, and I also bought an extra horse for backup. ”
As he spoke, Chester patted the rhinoceros on the back, and the rhinoceros roared softly, although its body was huge, but its voice was a little delicate. It is estimated that the strength is too strong, and there is no need to use the voice to flaunt yourself.
Jiayi didn't expect Chester to have a relationship in the imperial capital, and he had known him for a month or two, but he had never heard him say it, and it seemed that his family background was not ordinary. But Kaichi didn't care about this, he believed that he would be better than all other families in the future.13 Although he didn't know where he suddenly got his honey confidence.
At night, I turned on the magic lamp, looked at the map, and the excerpted article description, and began to refine the map on the map, in fact, it is a rough estimate, where there is a mountain bag, where there is a forest, where there may be a river, there will even be a road, the location is not exact, but the details are indeed much richer.
And from the next morning, they started to buy a lot of scrolls from the Mage Guild, and almost all the scrolls in the Mage Guild were bought. Even if several people are still quite wealthy, this wave has hurt their vitality a little. By the way, I also bought paper and ink, and I started painting myself, and it took Jiayi a day to draw more than 10 scrolls, and although the rest were not as terrifying as Jiayi, everyone also drew 5 to 7 sheets.
After another two days, they were finally ready to go. In fact, according to Jiayi's meaning, the preparation was not enough, at least his alchemy bomb was not prepared much, or when the blast furnace was built, the sulfuric acid collected was made for the experiment, plus the previous leftovers, there were only 5 or 6 in total, which made people very insecure.
In order to make up for these sense of security, Jia Yi bought a lot of materials, and if he needed anything, he would make it on the spot, but the alchemy bomb would not work, the nitrosulfuric acid was very troublesome to make, and the nitroglycerin produced was not stable at all. Then he also upgraded the equipment by the way, he originally bought a spider silk robe, but it was a tabula rasa, no enchantment, and now it has been upgraded to a robe with light body and speed effect, and now he finally spent all the money, and even the spider silk robe was almost sold at a discount, but fortunately, he withdrew some money from the chamber of commerce, and finally it was not so bad as to sell the equipment.
After everything was ready, they first arrived at the mine, which was on the edge of the High Coulomb Mountains, right on the way to the Imperial Capital and the Academy.
Here, Jiayi found a hill and set up a positioning circle, which was still given to him by Yimu, the positioning circle is equivalent to a beacon, which can allow the mage to sense it through spells at a long distance, if you get lost or don't know the direction, you can locate the circle through induction, calculate the angle, and determine the direction and distance. In order to make the distance farther, Jiayi shielded the signals in the rest of the directions, and concentrated all the signals within a 60-degree angle towards the direction of the academy, but unfortunately, even so, the distance of this positioning circle is only less than 200 miles, beyond this distance, it is impossible to sense the positioning circle, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
At this time, how much Jiayi wants GPS, Beidou and GLONASS are also fine.
