Chapter 157 Witch Power
Wei Miao never expected that she would be troubled by lack of money in the game.
It once again confirms the saying that money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible.
However, a map is helpful to avoid troubles on the road, and understanding the basic common sense of the world can help her avoid pitfalls.
It feels like a loss just to let a businessman go.
Anyone who is a player should understand this mentality. When I encounter a random merchant in a dungeon, I feel uncomfortable if I don't buy anything.
The penniless Wei Miao stepped back and moved the compass in front of it: "Do you see anything noteworthy in this direction?"
Harry took a closer look. She took a look and showed a cute profiteer smile: "The price of intelligence business is also calculated, 1 silver coin."
For her, there is no difference between 1 silver coin and 5 silver coins.
Damn it... might as well go back to the 5 silver coin business.
Wei Miao: "Do you think there is anything on me worth 5 silver coins?"
Harry stared at her hand: "I think the compass in your hand is good."
Wei Miao decisively rejected: "This won't work."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. All you need is the compass's object-finding function, and all I need is the crystal as a decorative base."< br>
Wei Miao understood and said dubiously: "Can the pointer and the market be separated?"
"Hey, you are such a big rabbit, are you afraid that I will deceive you? Businessmen are based on reputation. If I deceive you, I will ruin my own business. Don't worry..." Harry rambled and asked her for some money. compass.
Wei Miao held the key prop tightly and only agreed to show it a close look.
"The quality of this crystal is very good... This kind of purity should be made by magic."
Harry's mushroom face almost touched the compass, and then he jumped back: "I promise to get rid of the extra useless crystals and ensure that your object-finding function is not weakened. The object-finding magic is mainly shrouded in the hands. It is purely convenient and beautiful to have a compass."
Look at it, it looks so confident. Wei Miao agreed to let it try. Of course, he still held the compass in his hand. If anything went wrong, he would withdraw it immediately.
Harry put down the basket, dug through it and found a white-gold carving knife, and easily cut off the crystal block on the edge, his fleshy mushroom hand steady.
In the end, the octagonal compass the size of a palm was cut into a circular compass with a diameter of 5cm.
Watching it lose weight successfully, Wei Miao was already thinking about how to explain it to the hunter and the prince.
The key is that the pointer is swaying slowly and facing the normal direction.
"The weight of 5 silver coins, these are enough." Harry put away the cut crystal block with satisfaction, and handed her a roll of parchment and a booklet from the basket.
After Wei Miao took it, he inspected the goods on the spot.
The parchment scroll map is about the size of an A4 paper when opened. Complex and intertwined thin lines are outlined with some kind of black pigment on the old yellow-brown paper. The upper right corner is marked with a legend, scale and direction, and some areas are painted It has a large area of black and is marked as unknown.
The booklet is like a crude little book made in the early years. The paper is rough and thin, half a centimeter thick, small enough to be carried in your pocket, and full pages of entries are printed on it.
Harry: "By the way, you should be able to tell where the north is, right?"
Wei Miao fell into silence. She felt like she was not a detached player in this world, but like an ignorant native.
There are too many things beyond the scope of her knowledge, and the huge and complex world is very unfriendly to new players.
"Which corner did you come out of? You are obviously not a mortal, but you have no common sense. Even the ordinary novice adventurers who come here to experience are much more experienced than you." Harry stared at her speechlessly. , pointed out, "This point is not included in extraordinary common sense. I will tell you directly. When you see the sun in the sky, it will always rise in the west and set in the west."
"Thank you for your advice." Wei Miao looked at it. The golden halo in the sky turned away from the mushroom merchant who despised her.
If you don’t have money, you can’t even speak tough.
"I wish you a pleasant shopping experience! You can get a 90% discount on shopping with me in the future!" Harry waved and shouted after her.
It hummed a song and left: "Picking girl's little mushrooms, carrying a big canvas~"
Wei Miao was not in a hurry to get on the road, and found an open place with plenty of sunshine to read. Brochures and maps.
The booklet gives a general introduction to the situation in this world.
There are eight major forces that carve up the world, namely the Snow Kingdom, the Secret Forest, the Dragon Nest of Thousand Mountains, the Land of Dreams, the Sky Island, the Land of Oz, the Endless Sea, and the Foam Deep Sea.
It lists important people who should not be messed with, and also involves common knowledge in various fields, forming a hodgepodge of encyclopedias.
An interesting point is that about witches, it is written:
As an extraordinary species and profession, the inheritance of witches is divided into family system and mentor system. The former relies on blood to form a close-knit family. The five more famous families have the two-headed snake, the psychedelic rabbit, the black goat, the traveling frog, and the ghost cat as their family crests.
The representative of the mentorship system is the "Deep Space Witch" lineage. "Deep Space Witch" is more like an honorary title. It is the guide of the witches and the leader who lives in the secret realm of the stars.
The tutoring system is divided into academic system and private tutoring system. The control of resources by colleges and families puts the private tutoring system in a difficult position. The independent deep space witches occasionally intervene in the allocation of resources, allowing the private training system to tenaciously make a living in remote corners.
The witch civilization did not form a nation, and its structure was similar to that of a scattered tribe. The Deep Space Witch is the nominal supreme leader, and several large fairs are regularly opened next to family or college gathering places.
A witch's talent is innate and related to her bloodline. The extraordinary bloodline they possess naturally flows with magic power. With the help of extraordinary spiritual power, they also incorporate magic power into their bodies and start practicing. Talent determines the upper limit, and the official witch level alone can screen out a large number of witches with ordinary blood. The witch who has never been able to break through the magic barrier can only find another way.
When there is no hope of a breakthrough, witches often choose to give birth to offspring with pure blood through asexual reproduction - just a bottle of Christmas potion...
In addition, the book also states that If you don't have absolute confidence, it's best not to go out at night. Whether it's a group of hyenas or a swarm of blood-sucking bats, they are both troublesome and dangerous creatures.
The map of the Secret Forest is marked with the spheres of influence of many extraordinary creatures and the gathering places of witches, which are spread throughout the Secret Forest.
The gathering place we visited before was only medium-sized, located in the northeast of the Secret Forest. Further east, there were many gathering places for extraordinary creatures, such as dark elves, mountain goblins, etc. There were many dense forests as isolation zones between the forces.
The main road in the forest is also marked - this is really helpful.
She found the Bard Tavern on the map, which was regarded as an important landmark building.
Wei Miao corrected her position towards the sun and found that if she followed her previous route, she might need to pass through a swamp and a small goblin lair.
Now that she has the map, she can take a detour, but she does not rule out that the target is inside.
