Shao Yan is now in Pia City, the central city of Pia Oasis, since he expelled the curse of Daddy James, Daddy James is very grateful, and wants to reward Shao Yan, Shao Yan refused, Daddy James's family is definitely a poor peasant from Shao Yan's point of view, in fact, there are no rich people in that village, Daddy James had to personally send Shao Yan to the avenue at the entrance of the village, after Shao Yan left the village, he rushed directly to Pia City, and passed through many villages in the middle, Shao Yan did not enter the village again, and also met one or two small towns, and stayed in a small town for one night, the owner heard that Shao Yan was a wizard and refused to accept anything, Shao Yan had no choice but to leave a witch pattern on the door of this inn, this is a kind of blessing witch pattern, which can bring good luck to the master, and the next day before noon, he arrived at the city of Pia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This is still Shao Yan did not use any magic spells, only on foot.

Pia City has a wall that is not very high, and it is an earthen wall, and there are wars in this world, but they generally pass through the desert, and there are few heavy siege equipment, so the city wall is more of a boundary, and the defense function is not the main one.

There are also people guarding the city gate, but they don't check the passers-by, and there is no entrance fee or the like, ordinary people use currency represented by gold coins, and below them are silver coins and copper coins, ten copper coins are equivalent to one silver coin, ten silver coins are equivalent to one gold coin, these currency wizards are also using, not like the Xiuzhen realm uses spirit stones as currency, and the other thing that can be used as hard currency is spices, the kind of spices sprayed out by sandworms, although Shao Yan heard Xian preface that most spices are obtained by artificially domesticated sandworms, but Shao Yan has never seen where to raise sandworms until now。

Shao Yan entered the city, although it is a city, it is equivalent to a larger town in Dajin where Shao Yan is located, it can also be seen that the development of this world is far inferior to the fire curtain where Shao Yan is located, Shao Yan is very eye-catching, and there is no way, who makes him different from this world from race to clothing.

In some shops on the street, Shao Yan suddenly found a problem, some words he didn't know, although he was familiar with the language of the world, and he also knew some words with his heart, he didn't pay attention to others, and now he found out that he was actually semi-literate, this point must be solved, otherwise, Shao Yan will not be able to understand many written materials, and a lot of knowledge is transmitted through books.

Shao Yan decided to change some money first, and he couldn't just make a move on spices, Shao Yan grabbed a person on the side of the road, asked for a while, and understood that there was a shop not far in front of him to buy spices.

Before Shao Yan came to the store, he found the name of the store on the door, Shao Yan debated carefully for a while, and did not recognize the whole thing, this world text is a combination of phonetic and ideographic text, it can be considered that half is pictographic and half is pinyin text, about 400 symbols, each symbol is divided into two parts, are up and down structure, the upper half, the lower half, and then these symbols form a word, the basic unit of semantics is the word, which is similar to English on the earth, but English only has 26 letters, only phonetic and not meaningful, and this kind of text has more than 400 symbols, look at the ideographic part below, you can roughly guess the meaning of the word, look at the upper part of the pronunciation part can generally know the pronunciation.

Shao Yan looked at it for a long time and guessed the name of the store to the effect: wizard treasure store, Shao Yan entered it, asked the waiter in the store, whether to accept the spices, the other party heard that he would buy it, but asked Shao Yan to take out the spices to see the quality, Shao Yan took out a cloth bag from his arms, and immediately the strange fragrance spread, and two wizard apprentices who were picking things in the store immediately turned their eyes over.

This is specially prepared by Shao Yan, the bag is not big, about half a foot long, no more than two or three inches wide, but it is full of spices, Shao Yan is much more than this, the other party opened the bag, the fragrance is stronger, take out a few grains and put them in front of him, immediately moved, and put them under his nose to sniff, and said: "Honorable guest, you should be wild natural spices, please wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he shouted upstairs: "Miss Micya, someone sells wild spices, please come and identify them!"

A slightly hoarse voice came from upstairs: "What? It's a wild spice, I'll come down!" The sound of the stairs, when Shao Yan looked up, it was a young lady, with red hair tied behind her head, a slender figure, dressed in a pale white gauze dress, and her face looked more resolute, she was a beautiful young lady.

Shao Yan found that the other party was also a wizard, and his strength was similar to Shao Yan's current performance, equivalent to the early stage of the foundation building period, but his body was like a flame, like a firebird flying, Shao Yan estimated that the other party was a natural totem wizard.

The other party also found Shao Yan, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, in her eyes, Shao Yan's strength was similar to her, but the breath was strange, not any type she was familiar with, but a feeling of unity, in fact, this was to blame Shao Yan himself, Shao Yan did not know the category of wizards in this world before, of course, starting from the description in the bone slip, the witchcraft recorded in the bone slip is the witchcraft that has developed to the peak of witchcraft, coupled with Shao Yan's understanding of the Tao, he showed that witchcraft has actually exceeded the scope of normal witchcraft, and Shao Yan has not changed since then, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of some wizards, especially the wizards who have explored Shao Yan, It is not a good thing to find that Shao Yan's breath is changeable, and he can only make mistakes.

When Midia went downstairs, she saw Shao Yan stroking her chest, and Shao Yan also returned the salute. Midia said: "Shuyou, I work part-time in this shop, mainly to identify some things, may I ask Shuyou's name, what tribe is from?" She was also curious when she saw Shao Yan's distinctive outfit and black hair.

"My name is Shao Yan, I am from the Huaxia tribe, and I am currently a traveler. Shao Yan still used his previous answer. Midea suddenly thought in her heart, Shao Yan pretended to be a traveler, but also from the memory of the merchant wizard has some items, before the apprentice becomes an official wizard, he must go through this stage, at this stage, the apprentice has to travel tens of thousands of miles, more and more, increase knowledge, Shao Yan does not know very much, in fact, the wizard and Shao Yan are different from the monks in the cultivation realm, the wizard is the protector of a tribe, although he does not participate in the specific management, but the inheritance of civilization depends on them, each of them is a polymath to a certain extent, a wise man, no matter how high the apprentice level is, no matter how high the apprenticeship level is, there are many travelers whose level is higher than Shao Yan's current performance, which is also the reason, Shao Yan has just entered this world now, the details are not clear, the wizard system is not purely divided by the realm of strength, but the classification of comprehensive surnames, which is also the reason why Shao Yan found that there is a big difference in strength among wizards.

Although Midia had some questions, she didn't ask again, but smiled slightly and said, "Please wait for a while, and then talk to the friend after I have appraised it." After finishing speaking, he took the bag in the waiter's hand, opened the bag, immediately moved, took out a few grains to take a look, and then a faint red light appeared on his hand, wrapped these few grains of spices in it, closed her eyes and experienced it for a while, Shao Yan found that her spiritual sense was repeatedly tempted, and after a while, she opened her eyes.

"What a pure spice!" said to the waiter, "You go and weigh it, and press it when you buy it—" she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The spice is close to the best, and there is still some short, so let's buy it according to the best spice." ”

The waiter answered, took out a balance-like thing from the counter, and began to weigh it. Midia asked Shao Yan, "Friend, where did you get this spice?"

Shao Yan didn't hide it, and said where he got it from, and Midia said with some envy: "The sorcerer is really lucky, the wild spices are of high quality and rare, and they actually let the sorcerer touch it, why don't the sorcerers use it for their own use and come to sell it?"

Shao Yan thought to himself, how do I know what the uses of these spices are, besides, I don't have any money on my body, so he laughed and said: "It's been a while since I came out, and I don't have much money on my body, so I'll sell some of it." ”

The waiter over there has already calculated the price, a total of more than 3,200 gold coins, a hundred pieces, more than 30 pieces, such a lot, Shao Yan is a little worried, if he uses a storage ring, he can easily take it away, but this will expose him to be different.

When Midia saw Shao Yan's scene, she didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Friend, it's better to buy a witch bag to hold these gold coins!" Shao Yan heard it, although he didn't understand what the witch bag was, listening to Midea's tone, it should also be a storage device. He nodded in agreement, asked the price, fifty gold coins, bought one, and found that it was like a leather bag, so he checked it with his spiritual sense, it was indeed a storage device, and with the touch of spiritual sense, Shao Yan also understood how to use it, and put the gold coin into the witch bag.

Then asked the waiter if there were any books or the like, the waiter replied that there was, but the price was more expensive, this world and printing technology, all books are hand-copied, and there is no paper in this world, basically some bark has been processed, and some are directly written in the processed animal skins, so the price is very expensive, Shao Yan doesn't care about the money, buy a dictionary first, Midia is very strange, Shao Yan's explanation is to bring it back to the tribe, Midia is relieved to think about it. After all, it is the duty of the traveler to increase his knowledge and bring new knowledge to the tribe.

Shao Yan spent five or six hundred gold coins to buy most of the books in the store, but what he didn't know was that the money he spent was enough for a middle-class family to spend more than enough for a lifetime, in fact, the wizard class was an extremely wealthy class.

Shao Yan bought his things, said goodbye to Midia, and didn't want to go shopping, so he found a hotel to stay and began to read these books, first reading the dictionary, which was a relatively simple book, and the title of the book was "Writing Summary" Under normal circumstances, if there are fewer symbols in a language, within a hundred, it can basically be regarded as phonetic characters, symbols represent pronunciation, if the number of symbols is more than 1,000, it can be regarded as ideograms, each symbol represents a meaning, and now there are only more than 400 symbols in this language, it can only be said that there are more than 400 symbols in between, more than 400 symbols, insufficient ideograms, and too many sounds.

Shao Yan pondered carefully, used the mud pill spirit god to deduce, and it took half a day, and finally he could be regarded as completely mastering this kind of writing, although he was not very familiar, reading and writing was no longer a problem.

Shao Yan then looked through other books, these books are of different sizes, some are bound into volumes, some are just long paintings, Shao Yan looked through them one by one, first a book with an introduction to the basic knowledge of wizards, from which Shao Yan understood what wizards in this world were all about.

There are two wizard inheritances, one is that the wizard class always pays attention to whether there are children with innate abilities in the local area, similar to Shao Yan said on the earth that they are born with special abilities, and then they can become wizards through some methods of training;

The practice method of the sorcerer is different from the method known by Shao Yan, it can be said that it is closely related to spices, using spices to prepare witch medicine, entering a trance after taking it, and then repeatedly reciting some special mantras, under the effect of spices, stimulating the growth of mental power, and the rhythm of the spells, so that the body and mind can resonate with the spirits of nature or ancestors in a special state, forming different witchcraft systems.

Only then did Shao Yan understand the cultivation system of this world, it turned out that spices were so important, and he should not act at will in the future, if he had the opportunity, could he collect some more.
