Chapter 225 The Adventures of Sam (Part 2)
Sam was so flattered that his face turned red to the point that it was almost the same color as his reddish-brown curly hair.
Because he simply couldn't imagine why the "status" of the mages in this territory called Xiwei Territory was so ordinary.
In his memory, even a first-level mage master was a very noble being.
There is a second-level mage master in Qim Town. He usually goes out in either a carriage or a sedan carried by servants, without even touching the ground with his feet.
As a result, the mage here condescended to be the boss of a tavern, and used precious magic to give him ice-cold ale?
What Sam doesn't know is that this phenomenon is actually quite normal in the territory of the Church of Knowledge.
The reason is simple.
There are too many mages in the Church of Seeking Knowledge now!
As Hugo, Pat and Miranda were appointed as lords, using the modular ideas provided by architect Ray Wayne and the cooperation of believers, the construction of the three territories was rapid.
Construction would normally take months or even years.
With the help of magic and divine spells, the construction period was forcibly compressed to a few days!
For example, a tall and solid city wall.
Prepare the modular "city wall parts" and splice them one by one. Then the mage throws the level 2 magic [Wall Raising] upward, and the architect can vigorously tap [Building Reinforcement] to make it solid and stable!
When there were only more than 100 believers in the Misty Valley, considering the cooperation in fighting monsters, the proportion of professionals was still normal. Although mages still accounted for the majority, warriors, priests, and the rarer rangers and rogues There are still many people.
But the believers who immigrated from Greenport are different!
There wasn't much fighting in Greenport, and there was nothing else to exchange the knowledge points for, so I simply exchanged them for the magic knowledge of the mage profession.
So much so that the proportion of mage population among Greenport believers has reached over 90%!
There are so many mages who want to form a team to hunt and destroy monsters, but there are simply no warriors and priest teammates who can digest them.
Copying scrolls?
When everyone was a mage, the price of low-level scrolls quickly collapsed. Now the price of commonly used first-level magic scrolls has dropped to silver coins in the territory of the Church of Knowledge, and they cannot be sold.
Everyone can do it, there is no technical advantage!
There is no other way. Many mage followers can only find their own way out and start to think about other ways to use the magic they have mastered.
The believer who opened a tavern in Westview was one of them.
Ice magic is used to chill drinks;
Fire magic is used for baking and heating;
The most outrageous thing is that what gives him a differentiated competitive advantage is not the use of magic to assist in the preparation of meals, but the fact that he has mastered the brewing magic of the God of Wine and can brew ale with a unique taste!
The services of a mage? It’s just an addition to the tavern’s characteristics.
…
In the gold-encrusted tavern, Sam's shock didn't stop there.
Hugo Seavey enthusiastically told him that because he was the first 100 friends to come to Seavey Land, he could enjoy benefits and get a free meal.
The fluffy and soft toast exuded a rich sweet aroma was brought from the kitchen to the table. Sam took a bite, and it was so delicious that he almost swallowed it off his tongue!
Such delicious bread is actually treated as welfare and gifts in Xiwei Ling, and is given away for free?
"This bread...if I want to buy it, how much does it cost?" Sam asked nervously.
When he was in Qim Town, he seemed to have seen similar bread in a bakery during the Harvest Festival, selling for as much as 2 silver coins.
But he felt that the portion made in the bakery was definitely not as good as what he had eaten this time!
The tavern owner gave the answer in an understatement:
"20 coppers."
Sam went half crazy when he heard this number.
Could it be that this territory that popped up out of nowhere in the dark forest uses another currency system?
How can things be so cheap? If he works hard enough, he can afford bread at this price!
What happened next was even more exaggerated.
The hotels in the territory have spacious rooms that are clean and tidy, with soft cotton bedding on the beds, and even provide 24-hour unlimited hot water.
Needless to say, the hot water service is also in charge of the mage who runs the hotel. If someone needs hot water, he will throw a flame at it and quickly complete the heating.
A hotel with such excellent conditions only costs 1 silver coin for a night's rest!
Walking to the blacksmith shop, he learned that it sold finely crafted equipment from "Dwarf Blacksmith Maren". Sam even chopped off his hands on the spot, directly spending half of his existing savings, and spent a lot of money to buy brand new weapons. And the shield!
Sam could swear that he had never used equipment of such high quality and at such an affordable price in his life!
Past life experience tells him that you get what you pay for.
But in the land of Westville, Sam's experience seems to have no effect.
This place is clearly worth 1 cent of the price!
…
After listening to Sam's series of vivid descriptions, the adventurers in the tavern at the border defense camp all exploded.
"The city wall is strong and the surrounding area is very safe. You can't even see the shadow of the monsters?"
"Aren't the newly opened territories surrounded by wooden fences as territorial defense lines? What the hell are city walls? They're ten meters high!"
"Master Mage opens a tavern himself? Uses magic to chill the drinks? The tavern in the dark forest only sells a glass of ale for 5 copper coins?"
"A safe and comfortable hotel where you can stay overnight for only 1 silver coin?"
"The blacksmith shop sells unlimited equipment made by Master Mullen?"
"Magic scrolls are cheap enough to be wholesaled?"
The adventurers were completely unable to sit still.
The gossip was originally just the kind of gossip. No one knew whether it was true or not. Most of the time, it was used as conversation material for adventurers in the tavern.
But things are different now.
Sam's experience confirms rumors of a new realm in the Dark Forest.
No matter how incredible or outrageous it sounds.
The newly purchased weapons and equipment cannot be faked!
It even has the word "Marin" specially engraved on it by Master Maren to prevent counterfeiting!
Even if there are elements of exaggeration in Sam's description, even if only half, no, even only one-third of it is true, it is still worthy of adventurers flocking to this newly opened territory.
The living conditions are 10,000 times better than the border defense line!
The price level is many times lower than the border defense line!
Everything adventurers need to go to the Dark Forest sounds like it is available in the land called Xiwei Territory.
They simply couldn't resist this temptation.
"Does anyone want to go to the Misty Valley to check out the situation?"
"Me, me, me! Let's go together! It's safer to gather a few more people together!"
"I want to go too! It just so happens that the pollution I accumulated has almost dissipated, and I can enter the dark forest again!"
…
The fifth update is here. The previous plot was a little skewed. This section has sped up a bit, getting the outline back on track and heading straight into the main plot of the Hunting Moon.
Thank you for your monthly and recommended support, thank you very much!
Thanks to Dust in the Dawn for the 2 starting coins, I wish the boss will get rich every day and never die!
