Chapter 224 Sam’s Adventures (Part 1)
Sam’s words directly silenced the group of adventurers in the tavern.
These adventurers had good eyesight, and they could see that the iron sword and shield that Sam was carrying were obviously new equipment that had just been made.
Judging from the workmanship and appearance alone, it should be expensive.
If you want to buy something similar in Ceylon City, it will cost about 1.5 gold coins at least. If you want it to be newly made, you can even sell it for 2 gold coins.
What did Sam say?
40 silver coins?
Or did you buy it from the new territory opened near the Misty Valley in the rumor?
The adventurers suddenly thought of something.
They remembered that there seemed to be someone called "Dwarf Blacksmith Master, Ma Helun" who was selling ultra-low-price armor near the border defense line recently. However, for some unknown reason, no one was seen selling it in the past two days. .
At this time, I heard news about ultra-low-price equipment again.
The adventurer can no longer calm down!
“What’s going on!”
"Sam, let me buy you a drink! Is there really someone over there in the Misty Valley who has opened up a new territory?"
"How's the situation over there?"
"Did you really buy the weapons and shields there?"
One question after another bombarded the adventurer Sam, and the tavern became noisy again, making Sam dizzy for a while.
Sam hurriedly raised his hands to signal the others to shut up first.
"Wait wait wait!"
"I don't know who to answer if you act like this, just listen to me!"
"Let me declare it first! Everything you hear next is true! No matter how outrageous it sounds, it is my personal experience, stay true!"
"The situation - this is it."
…
Sam also heard rumors that someone had opened up a new territory in the so-called dark forest. Of course, he didn't take it seriously at first.
He just took it as a joke.
He knows about the Misty Valley!
The terrifying gray fog that permeates the outside of the valley, whether humans or monsters, will be swallowed up and disappear as long as they step into it.
According to legend, the gray fog will occasionally expand erratically, just like cleaning up the surrounding environment, sucking in all the unlucky people staying in the nearby area.
Sam had no intention of going to the Misty Valley to find out.
Going to the Misty Valley was a complete coincidence!
Because he accidentally discovered a large team in the dark forest!
When he met this team, Sam was completely confused.
The way he woke up today was wrong?
The reason why he was confused was: there were dozens of people in this team, plus more than a dozen trolleys, but the person in charge of pushing the trolleys was not a member of the team, but - a lot of [Mage Hands]!
Sam could swear that he had never seen so many mage masters in the dark forest.
And they all look like a bunch of shabby mage masters!
It can be seen from the clothing that these people's clothes are similar to Sam's. They do not wear the exquisite and expensive mage robes that are helpful for casting spells, but the common clothes commonly worn by civilians and adventurers.
Some people even had obvious patches on their clothes.
Normally, the noble mage master should have nothing to do with the word "poor"!
Aren't the wizards able to make a lot of money just by staying at home leisurely and copying two magic scrolls?
These mages who appear in the dark forest combine the two concepts of "poverty" and "nobility" in a magical and harmonious way.
Sam was confused.
The leader of the trolley team, Hugo Seavey, was not at all confused. Not only was he not confused, Hugo immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
An adventurer who is not a believer in the God of Knowledge!
Isn’t this a ready opportunity to increase [territory reputation]!
At that time, he enthusiastically introduced to Sam:
“Friend, it’s hard to adventure in the dark forest! Do you want to come to the territory we have opened up to take a rest and purify your body of the evil god’s pollution? Welcome to Xiwei Territory Be a guest!”
"We have rich and delicious food here, uninterrupted supply of hot water, and soft and comfortable beds. Safety is absolutely guaranteed! If you need weapon maintenance or equipment maintenance, we can also meet your needs here! In addition, we There are also a lot of cheap and high-quality magic scrolls for sale!”
"What you have to pay, ahem... is not much, just a few gold coins is enough!"
Sam followed Hugo Seavey in a daze.
He was not afraid that Hugo Seavey was a liar or a cultist.
Which cultist can spend such a huge amount of money and arrange for at least a dozen mages to use [Mage Hands] to push the cart!
In comparison, Sam was extremely curious as to what the destination of these people was that could attract so many mages, and he even did not hesitate to put down his body and do some hard work such as pushing carts.
…
When Sam arrived in the so-called "Siwei Territory", he could only describe what he saw and heard as eye-opening.
Neatly built, thick stone walls ten meters high!
The internal construction is neat and square.
The roads are clean and tidy, and you can even smell the fragrance of fragrant grass on the road. There is a vague freshness in the air that makes people feel refreshed, which is in sharp contrast to the depressing and dirty environment in the dark forest.
When he sat in the tavern in the territory at the invitation of Hugo, the menu on the wall was dazzling, including not only a variety of flavored ales and fruit wines, but also bread, jams and even barbecue soup!
Sam couldn't believe his own eyes.
Damn it, is this still the Dark Forest?
There is no tavern with such rich food in my hometown of Qim Town!
Sam remembered that there were only two taverns in Cheam Town, and apart from ordinary ale, they only offered black bread and bacon.
And bacon is not affordable for ordinary people. Most people just order a glass of ale, chat, brag and play cards while drinking wine!
Sam tentatively ordered a glass of ale for 5 coins.
When the drinks were served, he was even more shocked.
In this hot August, in the dark forest, the ale is still cold!
"How did you do it?!" Sam couldn't believe it.
The tavern owner snapped his fingers very normally, and a beautiful ice crystal formed on his fingertips.
"The trick, [Cold Ray], as long as the output of mental power is controlled well, it can be used to cool down the wine."
Sam was shocked.
When he came here, he saw those mages using [Mage Hands] to push the carts. He already felt that it was outrageous enough. This was simply treating the mages as ordinary laborers.
It turns out that the owner of this shop called "Golden Tavern" is also a noble mage, and he even uses magic to cool down the ale? !
Sam stammered: "You...you, you...this is what you usually do?"
"Don't Master Mage usually stay in the mysterious and tall Mage Tower? Don't you have to pay several gold coins every time you ask them to take action?"
"The ale worth 5 copper coins, Master Mage, will you use your own magic to chill it for me?"
"Am...am I worthy?"
