A role like a little beggar can probably provide information. And just as Jenkins expected, the boy raised his hand, and Jenkins added four more dice.
"right here."
The little beggar in the town whispered, his voice very hoarse.
"Huh? Is that you?"
Jenkins asked again.
"of course not."
It wasn't a lie, so Jenkins took out the compass, thinking about the image of the target he was looking for, and looked down at the constantly rotating pointer. This compass is very accurate for finding ordinary items, but when looking for any items that contain spirits, depending on the strength of the items you are looking for, the compass pointing will have a certain degree of distortion.
But this time, the pointer spun crazily without stopping.
He summoned the monocle in his spirit and scanned the dark corners of the house. This house has only one floor, and the area is not too big. Even if the light of the candles can't illuminate every corner, but after wearing a monocle and using the eye of reality, even if the black aura of the delusion is affected, but such a close The distance is also enough for him to see every detail.
It's just that there is no third person's spirit in the empty house.
"Where is it exactly?"
Jenkins asked the little beggar who was fiddling with the five blood-colored dice again, but the other party just shook his head and did not intend to provide further transaction information.
"That's weird."
He stood up and scanned the house again:
"At present, I can see that there are only two people here, and the third person is indeed in the house. Since I can't see it, it means that the other party has the means to hide himself no matter in size or in spirit. But no matter how hard he hides, It is impossible to avoid my eyes at such a close distance, so it must not be that my eyes did not see it, but that I did not observe carefully... "
He looked down at the candle in front of the little beggar, his eyes looked at the light of the candle wick:
"Normal people will definitely not look directly at the wick of a candle, so come out."
He said to the candle, and then, the black spot at the center of the candle flame that almost coincided with the candle head expanded little by little. The black shadow jumped out of the flames, fell to the ground, and turned into a person in a blood-colored robe.
His head is covered in a hood, so it's hard to tell gender and age. After jumping out, he stood in front of Jenkins, and without Jenkins speaking, he handed out a piece of cardboard to explain the content of his transaction.
Among them, there happened to be a map of the town that Jenkins was thinking about.
The trading items of this special merchant are not only rare, but not expensive. The prices of the few common items in the trading catalog are also lower than what Jenkins saw in the town just now. If you want to come here, the price is discounted. The price of the map from the special merchant was actually only 95 dice, so Jenkins immediately chose to buy it.
It was an old roll of parchment, and the edges of the parchment were obviously not trimmed neatly. The traces of the pencil were used to draw the whole picture of the town in detail. Among them, the lighthouse of the bell ringer is indeed in the center of the town, and after finding the location of the church, Jenkins can easily determine where he is now:
"This is terrible, why is it so far away?"
Although the price is low, the content of this map is very detailed. From where he is now, even if he takes the most dangerous and short distance, and Jenkins can throw the number 20 every time, he will have to throw at least 23 times.
Of course, he had enough dice, but he didn't keep moving forward, and he could reach the outside of the town without touching the surrounding buildings. On the way, there are more than one or two areas that require extra dice to pass, such as wooden fences, private streets of other people's houses, etc.
Calculated, even if Jenkins can defeat all the monsters on this road and solve all the puzzles, he must prepare at least about 150 dice to barely pay the toll.
If you choose a road that does not require you to pay tolls, you will have to make a long detour to get out of the town. There are only five exits from the town, and they happen to correspond to the direction of Wutiao Street when leaving the lighthouse. I don't know if this is a coincidence.
Taking the shortest path and counting the time spent earning dice, Jenkins thinks it will take about 3 hours, which is not surprising. The most convenient way is about 6 hours, which is based on the premise that the average number of dice thrown every time is above 10.
"Is there no better way?"
He said confidently.
"Of course there is."
Unexpectedly, the child lying in front of the candle actually spoke. Jenkins looked down at him, and the other party stretched out three fingers. Of course, three dice are not too many, but after buying the map, 104-5-95=4, Jenkins only has four left. He doubts that the other party just peeked at the number of dice in the small cloth bag.
"Can."
He threw three dice, and the beggar glanced at the red-robed businessman, who left the house knowingly.
"Look at the street that turns left at the next intersection."
Jenkins looked down at the map according to the little beggar's reminder, and was surprised to find that the street that turned left, the left side of the entire street belonged to the small town hospital, that is to say, every time he threw dice on that street, As long as you don't leave that street, you have a half chance of being able to enter the hospital.
"The hospital is one of the most important buildings in this town. After all, blood therapy...the hospital has more than one exit, not just on this street. There is a door in the hospital that is not marked on the map you are holding. The street that goes up the slope."
Jenkins followed the beggar's words and looked towards the diagonally upward street. If he could really walk like this, it would be equivalent to digging through the wall and coming to the straight road in front of the maze when he was blocked by a dead-end wall before the exit of the maze. .
The street that goes up is the street that leaves the town.
"Three dice, are you willing to tell me this kind of information?"
Because the information was too cheap, Jenkins doubted its authenticity.
"The charging rule for this kind of information is that outsiders must have a map, and the charging requirement is that only one dice is left for outsiders to leave."
In this way, Jenkins still has a big advantage.
The beggar did not tell Jenkins the location of the other door of the hospital, so Jenkins had to go to the hospital to find it by himself. So he bid farewell to the beggar and set off again. When throwing the dice, he was still thinking that the next time it must be a building that can earn dice, otherwise he would not have a single dice, and he would really stay forever.
But luck is really good. Before leaving this street, except for the last time, the other three times were ordinary buildings. Let the old woman swear "Despicable outlander" first, then inject blood through a rusty metal syringe to get 4 dice. Before leaving this street, the last stop is the blacksmith's shop, at this time he has 9 bloody dice in his hand.
