Age of Adepts

Chapter 284: Sigma City

Views:

Flying forward for more than seventy kilometers, they finally arrived at the first city under the rule of the Silver Alliance—Sigma City.

As the only two entry and exit points of transcontinental waterways in the Silver Alliance area, the grandeur and bustlingness of Sigma City is also admirable. Here, even the wizards from the top families in the central part of the mainland can only hold back their arrogance and carefully understand the internal rules and regulations of the Silver Alliance.

Through the communication all the way, Greem also got a preliminary understanding.

On the west coast of the mainland, in the area ruled by the Silver Alliance, the first person not to be provoked is the Alliance wizard in silver robes.

Of course, if you are sure to kill a silver-robed wizard covertly without being noticed by the outside world, then that's a different matter. But along the way, what Greem saw the most were the small guard towers and a mysterious structure that was round and round cruising around in the sky.

They all seemed to be part of a larger vigilance system.

Wanting to kill a silver-robed wizard silently in such a region is simply delusional.

As long as the other party finds any clues, and with the help of prophecy and retrospective witchcraft, the murderer will be found out no matter how well hidden he is!

So if you want to survive here, not conflicting with anyone wearing silver robes is the only way to protect yourself.

The second person who cannot be provoked is the mysterious wizard, no matter how poor he looks, no matter how down-and-out he looks.

The entire Silver Alliance is an organization formed by the gathering of groups of esoteric wizards. The silver-robed wizards usually exist as the law enforcement officers of the alliance, while the esoteric wizards are the vast and solid foundation of the alliance. Therefore, in the area ruled by the Silver Alliance, the esoteric wizards have an unparalleled super-high status, and they have obviously formed a class suppression on the wizards of other branches.

But fortunately, the senior management of the Silver Alliance is not so stupid and short-sighted. Although they will obviously favor those mysterious wizards when there is a dispute between wizards, they still give enough respect and courtesy to outstanding wizards from other branches.

The floating battleship has reached the end when it reaches Sigma City.

The traffic in the domain relies more on those small flying ships, while the floating battleships are purely used to pass through the wild areas.

After getting off the boat, everyone said how much they valued each other, and they all dispersed.

Everyone has different reasons for coming to the west coast of the mainland. Although the Sky City is a must-see, it takes twenty days to get to the Sky City from Sigma City even by airship. Therefore, it is the most appropriate way to disperse and do their own work.

In the city of Sigma, the Byron family also set up a stop here. However, the location is in the western part of the city, and the few people who want to rush to it can only pass through a small half of the city.

Greem could see that Wizard Angus was in a hurry, as if he wanted to get to the stop early to get the latest information. However, it was the first time for Greem to come to a region ruled by a large wizarding force, and he wanted to slowly appreciate the customs and customs here.

The two discussed briefly. Wizard Angus left a meeting place, and then hurried away with a few family members.

As a result, Greem and his party soon only had him, Alice, and Kirby left.

This is a completely different city.

There are no tall city walls or guard towers here, only clean and tidy streets and tall and solid marble buildings. You can see wizard apprentices in gray tunics everywhere on the streets, as well as powerful mercenaries and adventurers with swords and swords on their backs.

However, most of them were driving horse-drawn carriages and convoys carrying a large amount of goods. Among the pedestrians, there were more merchants, warriors, wanderers and city residents.

Due to the climate, most of the clothing of the residents here is made of thin cloth. The colors chosen are also eye-catching: white, red, blue, orange, yellow, and so on. Humans usually wear long-sleeved tunics, loose trousers, and leather boots, with a relaxed and happy expression, without the dull and depressed expression of other regions.

From time to time, some official wizards can be seen rumbling through the streets with a super huge stone giant or iron golem. Although the people along the way avoided one after another, they didn't show a particularly frightened look on their faces.

Here, the wizards seem to have merged with the common people, and there is no obvious class oppression and awe-inspiring mystery.

If Greem were to judge it, although the Sandi Tallinn has a large land and rich resources, there are many families and conflicts. Even if a so-called loose alliance is organized, it is too weak in binding and execution, and it is impossible to make a big difference. .

But here it is clearly different.

This is the region dominated by the Silver Alliance, so it is also the region where the implementation of various systems and regulations is the best. Here, no foreign wizard has dared to challenge the authority of the Silver Alliance!

And the Silver Alliance is adhering to the main policy of opening up to the outside world and vigorously developing commerce and trade, so there are countless foreign wizards and elites from other regions in the region. Their arrival undoubtedly greatly promoted the rapid gathering and flow of knowledge and resources within the Silver Alliance.

This place is obviously more dynamic and peaceful than the Sandi Tallinn area!

Greem's 2-meter-tall body was accompanied by two little ones of about 1 meter, so the combination of the three of them was particularly eye-catching. However, as long as anyone gets a little closer to Greem's side, he can feel the calm, wise, and ruthless nature of an official wizard, as well as a kind of spiritual coercion at the upper level of the biological chain.

Greem looked at the panicked and hastily evading crowd in front of him speechlessly, and then looked at the apprentices at the far end who showed surprised expressions one after another. He could only hold back his breath silently, trying to suppress the fluctuation of mental power to a minimum.

I am used to staying in Sandi Tallinn, and I don’t need to care about whether my mental pressure will have any adverse effects on the surrounding people when I go in and out. Although the concept of equality of all beings in the previous life still affects Greem, preventing him from enslaving ordinary people like cattle and sheep, but the mentality of wizards who think they are superior to others has also subtly changed him.

In contrast, the Silver Alliance's grasp and creation of the social atmosphere is obviously much better than that of Sandi Tower Forest, and it has also given many non-wizard elites a chance to succeed. If given the chance to choose, Greem feels that the environment of the Silver Alliance is more suitable for him!

"Are we going to stand here for a day?" Alice stood on tiptoe and looked at the bustling crowd, as if she couldn't wait to go shopping: "It looks very lively over there!"

Green Goblin Kirby also saw the existence of some alien races in the crowd, or alien slaves carried by a certain wizard, or some humanoid creatures who had obtained their identities publicly. Together with those apprentices, warriors, and mercenaries, they rushed into the shops and secret magic shops one after another, carrying the strange prey excitedly, and tried their best to sell the spoils seized from the black forest.

Kirby carefully removed his camouflage and returned to his original goblin appearance.

Standing in the bustling stream of people, seeing that people didn't show disgust or panic about his appearance, Kirby let go of his worries. For the first time, it puffed its chest and folded its belly, and finally could confidently face this human city ruled by wizards with its true colors.

"I love this place!" Kirby growled crazily from the bottom of his heart.

Sensing the heat coming from the hearts of the two little followers, Greem shook his head and laughed, and led them into the crowd.

Greem, who has restrained all his mental power, is like a young nobleman with extraordinary temperament, handsome and handsome, with a dignified appearance. Even if he does not rely on mental coercion, his 2-meter-high body is full of a strong sense of oppression. Wherever he goes, pedestrians will automatically get out of the way and dare not stop his progress.

As he walked forward, his eyes wandered around the shops on the side of the road.

Flower shop, tailor shop, grocery store, fur shop, arcane shop, herbal shop, pet shop...

Greem even saw a Thorson's Findings, a small shop that used divination and prophecy to help citizens find lost items. And the one who opened the shop was a senior apprentice, who obviously wanted to use the witchcraft knowledge he learned to earn some living expenses!

As for those flower shops, what they sell are not ordinary flowers such as roses, lilacs, and blue lilies, but wizard resources such as Yingyue flowers, sun flowers, golden ginseng, and dragon bone grass. These things are either extremely helpful for the meditation of wizard apprentices, or can nourish blood power, or are common materials for pharmacy apprentices...

And what the tailor shop sells are all apprentice short robes and wizard robes with special enchanting effects, and even wizard waist bags with a certain amount of storage space are also sold here.

The fur merchants bought the furs of wild beasts or monsters brought back from the black forest by adventurer teams or apprentices at high prices, and also bought the flesh and bones of those monsters.

The flesh and blood of monsters are soaked in the elemental atmosphere all the year round, so as long as the toxicity inside is removed, it is the best food for magic energy. As for the monster bones, as long as they are properly carved and processed, they can be made into simple ornaments that can also have a certain witchcraft effect.

Wizards definitely don't like these things, but for wizard apprentices and wealthy businessmen and nobles, they are already rare treasures.

Greem took Alice and Kirby for a walk all the way, and only then did he understand that, as the eastern gateway of the Silver Alliance to the Black Forest, the resources sold by this Sigma City are obviously aimed at the middle-end crowd, and ordinary citizens can hardly bear it. of.

After simply turning around, Greem shook his head regretfully.

These resources may be useful to Alice, but to a real wizard, they seem too ordinary. From this point of view, there must be a dedicated place to sell the resources wizards need.

Greem looked up at the tall wizard tower located in the center of the city, turned around and briefly explained to Alice, before throwing her a magic crystal card. The two parties broke up in the downtown center and went their separate ways.
