Valley of the Abyss
Listening to this name, Benjamin slowly recalled the relevant content he had seen in the book before.
This is a valley located on the edge of Freden. It is not large in area, but it is quite famous. It is an existence similar to the Bermuda Triangle. The reason why this valley is named "Abyss" is not because there are demons in it, but because most people think that this place has some kind of weird power.
There are not many Warcraft here, so in the beginning, people often pass by here. But later, people gradually discovered that people passing here disappeared very frequently.
Legend has it that a group of mercenaries once disappeared while passing through the Valley of the Abyss, so the Mercenary Association sent people to look for them. However, after searching for a long time, they only found the weapons and luggage of the missing mercenary. The dry food and materials inside were well preserved and even still very fresh. But in the end, no one knew where those mercenaries went. The only surviving creature of the disappeared team of mercenaries was a half-starved dog. The rope was still tied to the bag, but its owner was nowhere to be seen.
From that time on, the Valley of the Abyss became known as a "cannibal".
Realizing that he had inadvertently entered the Valley of the Abyss, Benjamin couldn't help but lament his unluckyness - he could land in this damn place just about any time he landed.
However, he wasn't too worried.
There has always been no evidence for pedestrians disappearing for no reason, and the people like to spread such stories the most, and the more they are spread, the more outrageous they become. In Benjamin's view, the so-called Valley of the Abyss should be just a horrifying legend.
Looking at the surrounding environment now, it feels quite eerie. Under the influence of such a gloomy environment, it is not surprising to make up some ghost stories.
With this thought in mind, Benjamin summoned a large healing water ball and patted it on the other mages. The mages were just a little "seasick" to begin with, but with this shot, they all gradually woke up.
"What is this place?"
Looking at the surrounding environment, the mages looked confused, and Benjamin explained the situation to them. Fortunately, after hearing about the Valley of the Abyss, most people did not show panic, but suddenly became excited.
"I've always been curious about this place. Maybe we can unlock the secrets of this valley!"
Hearing this, Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
Although he is also curious, for some reason, he has never been very interested in this kind of weird metaphysics. Besides, he thought it would be better for them to enter the town early.
—They are not here for adventure after all.
Because it was getting late, under the command of Benjamin, the mages packed up their scattered luggage, found a place nearby, set up camp, and prepared to rest for a night before setting off the next day. Traveling in the middle of the night is not as safe as during the day. Moreover, the valley is not that small, and you may not be able to get out of it after walking all night.
Just like that, an hour later, while lying in the tent that had been set up, Benjamin glanced around the area with the water element induction method. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he closed his eyes and began his routine meditation before going to bed.
In the consciousness space, the distance between the three characters was closer than before, and vaguely, it felt like the blue light shining brighter than before. Benjamin was a little curious, and if he continued to strengthen it, would these characters be as bright as the sun, and could blind people's eyes
Mobilizing the water elements in the space and infusing them into the triangular characters... This process, which has been carried out countless times, is still carried out by Benjamin with enthusiasm.
After meditating for more than an hour, Benjamin left the conscious space and fell into a deep sleep.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Benjamin woke up and made a special inspection of their camp. Very good, everyone is here, no one is missing, and the strange legend has not been confirmed on them. I asked the mages who took turns keeping watch. It was a very peaceful night. There wasn't even a single monster passing by, let alone anything strange.
So, after breakfast, the group packed up the camp, confirmed the direction, and started on their way.
"Teacher Benjamin..." On the way, Andy suddenly patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said, "Well... the materials for refining the potion have been almost consumed, and we will no longer be able to continue practicing soon."
Hearing this, Benjamin turned his head and said, "How are you doing with those introductory potions?"
Andy looked at the sky, clasped his fingers, and replied: "The success rate of healing potions is almost 100%, and the success rate of agility potions and strength potions is also 70-80%. The potions we made are all in the tiles There are a lot of them in Leith, so they should be sold for a lot of money."
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.
Now, they have also come to Freden. If they want to settle in this country, stable economic income is definitely essential. According to the introduction in "Introduction to Potions", to be able to achieve this success rate, they are already two qualified potion mages.
But... just refining entry-level potions is not enough.
Benjamin also knew very well that if there was "Introduction to Potions", there must be "Advanced Potions". The profit from this simple magic potion is definitely not enough, and it cannot gain the respect of other forces because of this. Therefore, Andy, Hannah, and Benjamin have to continue to train them.
There should be relevant books in Frieden. There is no monopoly organization like the Mages Guild here, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get it... right
He also had to get to know the magic circle in this country.
"Then you should rest for a while." Therefore, Benjamin said, "When we get to the town, I will find a way to get you a new formula, so that you will not have to deal with those potions all day long."
Hearing this, Andy finally smiled and said, "Teacher Benjamin, I'll leave it to you."
In this way, after dealing with the issue of improving team productivity, Benjamin couldn't help but start to think about the economic capabilities they now have.
They had just seized a lot of gold coins from the river pirates, so they had quite a lot of money. However, once they settle in Freden, there will be more places where they need to spend their money.
In addition to the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, the development and improvement of the entire mage team, the demand for Warcraft materials, and even... Benjamin also has the idea of expanding the team and recruiting some new mages. After all, the meditation method they have developed is quite good, and they have their own magic concepts. Benjamin has been unhappy with the concept of "magic is imitating Warcraft" in the magic world for a long time, and he really wants to fight against it.
In fact, he gradually realized that they were not living in a stable world. The empire had just split less than ten years ago. There was intrigue among the three kingdoms, and the church was ambitious. It was seeking expansion externally and religiousization internally... In short, they were in a transitional era. As for the future, they would transition into a world where the church was unified. , or the world is divided among heroes, everything is still unknown.
Therefore, in order to keep up with the pace of time, Benjamin can only continue to enhance his strength, and more importantly, enhance his influence.
He... has to become a chess player.
No one taught him what to do, so Benjamin could only figure it out on his own.
It’s also quite a headache…
In this way, while thinking about these questions, he led the team towards the outside of the valley.
suddenly.
"what sound?"
A faint sound came from the forest not far ahead, interrupting everyone's footsteps. Suddenly, the mages stopped advancing, and Benjamin came back to his senses, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
However, just as he was about to use the water element induction method to observe the movement in front, several figures suddenly jumped out from over there.
"Help, help!" The panicked shouts came from their mouths, making all the mages startled.
