Chapter 87: Blackwater City

Views:

Outside, everyone gathered together in the cave, including Huiwei. An Fei once again brought the topic of going to the Death Forest in front of everyone.

"An Fei, why do you have to go to such a dangerous place?" Chris smiled bitterly.

An Fei tapped Riska with his hand and said nothing. Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Riska, which made Riska a little confused: "Me? I didn't say anything... Anyway, I listen to An Fei and everyone else, and I will go wherever you say."

"I used to think that among us, the person who has the hope of succeeding Chris as a mage is Zubin. Can't you get any enlightenment from Riska?" An Fei said slowly: "Why do you have to practice to this level? After a certain level, do you have to go out for experience? At critical junctures, people's potential can often be stimulated. This potential is the key to breaking through bottlenecks! Riska is a good example. If we continue to stay here, we may not It will ensure our safety. Sooner or later, they will find out our escape route. What will happen then? I know it is difficult to find people in the forest, but what if we are discovered?"

"If we go to the Forest of Death, it looks dangerous, but in fact we are safe. The biggest threat to us no longer exists. As long as we act more cautiously and carefully, I think we can cope with the dangers in the Forest of Death."

"Also, if we stay here, the progress of our cultivation will not be much different from before. In a place like the Forest of Death, where there is every step of crisis, it will allow us to quickly improve our strength. In my opinion, everyone Our understanding of magic is pretty good, what’s missing is our practical experience, now it’s time for us to start practicing!”

An Fei's words silenced everyone. Seven or eight of the people present were all high-level magicians and were at a bottleneck stage. If they practiced step by step, the experience of their predecessors was in front of them. It would take at least five to ten years for them to practice. It takes years to break through the bottleneck, and some even fail to break through in their entire life. Riska's example is vividly placed in front of them, which makes people feel moved.

"I want to say something." Zubin said suddenly.

"Say it." An Fei nodded.

"These orcs can live in the stone forest of the Death Forest, and we can do it too."

Zubin’s words made everyone’s eyes light up, that’s right! Those lowly orcs can live in the forest of death, why can't they? If it's too dangerous outside, can they retreat to the stone forest

An Fei glanced at Zubin with admiration: "Zubin is so right! And even if we can't live in the forest of death, as long as we can persist for more than a month, we can return during the next full moon. When you come back, what else do you need to worry about?”

"Yes!" Bravi nodded vigorously: "It's not like we can't come back, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

The atmosphere began to become lively, and everyone was chatting quietly with each other or meditating alone. It was not as depressing as before.

"I reserve my opinion, but I am willing to obey An Fei's decision." Chris said slowly.

"Suzanne, what about you?" An Fei looked at Susanna.

"I'm with you all," Suzanne said with a smile. In fact, for her, the Death Forest is really an ideal place for her to practice. She does not object to An Fei's opinion. She said so much to An Fei before, but she only reminded An Fei to think twice.

"Crazy! Crazy! You are all crazy!" Hui Wei suddenly stood up emotionally: "What's wrong with staying in a safe place? I tell you, when one of you dies in the Forest of Death, You will definitely regret it!”

"Don't worry, I'm sure you are the first one among us to die, so you don't need to worry about these things." An Fei sneered: "Besides, this place is not safe for us, you also know that we They are students of the great magician Thor, why don’t you think about why we came here?”

"Ah...why?"

"Because we killed a man," Sanchez laughed. Now that everyone recalls what happened at that time, no one is nervous anymore. What about Philip's grandson? Just kill them, they are still alive and well!

"Kill who?"

"The only grandson of the great swordsman Philip and the only direct heir of the family, Zeda."

Huiwei couldn't help but sit down dejectedly. Philip's temper was world-famous. He understood why these people fled to Kram Forest, but the problem was... he really didn't want to return to the Death Forest!

"Since everyone agrees, we must prepare the sacrifice tonight. There are exactly three days before the full moon!" An Fei said slowly.

"The shelter can only be used by orcs who believe in the beast god. Will the orcs cooperate with us?" Shante asked.

"We can tell them frankly that we are going to the Forest of Death. Do you think they will let us leave?" An Fei said with a smile. The treasure is already

Secret, the salivating eyes of the half-orcs told him that it was by no means a problem. Those half-orcs would rush to host the sacrifice. In their view, as long as An Fei and others leave here, the wealth will belong to them. .

"Do you...do you have to go to the Forest of Death?" Hui Wei murmured.

No one paid any attention to him. How could a prisoner have any say

"Can you give me back my space ring?" Huiwei looked at An Fei pitifully.

His space ring has long been confiscated by An Fei. Each space ring has a unique magic mark that cannot be opened by anyone except the owner. After the owner died, a long period of time passed, and the space ring on the space ring had a unique magic mark. The magic mark will dissipate with the passage of time, and only then will the space ring be able to change its owner. The magic mark on the space ring cannot be changed, not even the legendary great mage or great alchemist can do it. Therefore, An Fei can only confiscate the space ring, but has no way of knowing what is inside, let alone keeping it for himself. .

An Fei did not hesitate, took out the space ring and threw it to Hui Wei.

Huiwei's face was so painful that he almost dripped water. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took out a magic scroll from the space ring and handed it to An Fei.

"What is this?" An Fei could sense a very powerful magic wave in the scroll. He asked while reaching out to pick it up, but Huiwei was reluctant to let go. The look in his eyes was very complicated, and it looked like he was in physical pain. pole.

"Don't go to the Forest of Death. This is the space-time gate scroll to Blackwater City." Huiwei sighed and finally retracted his hand reluctantly.

"Time and Space Gate Scroll!" Chris stood up in surprise, walked to An Fei's side in a few steps, took the scroll from An Fei's hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Where is Blackwater City?" An Fei asked. The authenticity of the scroll had to be verified by Chris. He didn't need to worry about it. He needed to figure out other things.

"Blackwater City and White Mountain City are the two largest cities in the Mercenary Country. Black Water City is located near the Wild Grassland, and White Mountain City is located near the Death Forest. They are also the two cities with the most complex environments on the continent." Susanna said : "There, you will see things that you can't normally see...many, many things."

"Have you been to Blackwater City?"

“I only went there once when I was little.”

"This is indeed the Time and Space Gate Scroll." Chris gently returned the magic scroll to An Fei, and looked at Huiwei up and down: "I really can't tell, you are still a rich man!"

"Alas..." Hui Wei sighed again, put his hands in his sleeves, and huddled up, looking very pitiful and helpless.

"Give me back the space ring first!" An Fei stretched out his hand and said calmly. His memory has always been very good.

Huiwei paused, then helplessly took out his hands from his sleeves, took off the space ring and handed it to An Fei.

"Chris, are the space-time gate scrolls very rare?"

"It's not very rare, it's just very valuable anyway." Chris smiled and said: "Teacher often sells time and space gate scrolls when he has nothing to do. Under normal circumstances, a time and space gate magic scroll can be sold for five hundred gold coins. If you require teleportation to a specific city, the teacher needs to change the magic coordinates, and the price will more than double."

"So expensive?" An Fei was a little surprised. No wonder Sol took the money and spent it improperly. An Fei originally thought that Sol served as the chief magician of the palace and could earn a lot of extra money. Now he knows that Sol himself is a Huge treasure! The profession of magician is really promising!

"Expensive?" Niya puffed up her chest proudly: "Unless they are friends, no matter how much money others pay, my father will not make a scroll for them!"

An Fei smiled: "Chris, can you release this scroll?"

"Both Riska and I can do it."

"I understand." An Fei's eyes turned to Hui Wei: "You, a magician and martial artist, shouldn't be able to release this scroll, right?"

Hui Wei closed his eyes and refused to answer.

"Chris, after this scroll is released, how long will it take for the space-time gate to appear?" An Fei needs to know some details.

"quickly."

"How long will it take to close?"

"This needs to be controlled by the releaser. If the magic power allows, the time and space gate will always exist."

"Well... everyone, please prepare, we may set off at any time!" An Fei stood up: "Chris, is the order in Blackwater City also very chaotic? Is it the same as the Forest of Death?"

"No, in a mercenary country, the mercenary guilds hold the right to speak. They are the leaders of the country."

"That's it..." An Fei pondered for a moment: "Others can go and rest. Chris and Susanna, you two stay here and tell me carefully what the mercenary guild is all about."
