Chapter 268 Slums

The set of magic array that the Church family obtained at the auction was only worth 7,000 to 8,000 magic stones in the Dawn Land, but it was sold at a sky-high price of 80,000 magic stones in the Barren Land. [🆆🆆🆆🆂🆃♦♦♦♦🅲♦🅼]

Even with such a huge profit, it is still difficult to see magic arrays in the Barren Land, because the Dawn Land strictly controls the outflow of magic arrays.

Ordinary wizards generally do not need magic arrays, unless they want to strengthen their homes or build their own bases.

More commonly, some organizations or forces will have more needs for magic arrays.

Herag and Israel talked for several hours and drank a lot of wine.

With Herag's physique, alcohol has little effect on him. He is truly a person who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

After the conversation between the two, Israel admired Herag even more.

Because he found that this young man was so knowledgeable that he could easily talk about any aspect of knowledge, and he was not half-knowledgeable, but really very in-depth.

Israel had to sigh that Herag was a real genius.

After drinking, the two of them each called a carriage to go back.

There were many carriages waiting to pick up passengers near the tavern, and only these places would have better business at night.

When Herag returned home, he found that David was already sleeping soundly, and Reese was studying hard with a book on the principles of spells.

"Take a rest, there is still a long time, take your time." Herag could feel that Reese seemed to be under a lot of pressure these days.

And the source of pressure seemed to come from himself, because he learned too fast and progressed too fast.

Reese wanted to catch up with him, but found that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Herag.

If this continued, she would sooner or later become a burden around Herag, which was a scene Reese did not want to see.

So during this period of time, Reese studied very hard and was eager to make progress.

"You're back. Are you drunk?" Rui Si heard the voice and realized that Herag had returned. A surprise appeared on her face.

Herag had told Rui Si about passing the wizard array assessment after the test.

Herag walked over and hugged Rui Si in his arms. He touched Rui Si's back and said, "You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. No matter how strong I become in the future, I will never abandon you."

Rui Si leaned in his arms and whispered, "I know, I just don't want to drag you down..."

"There is no such thing as dragging you down. You just need to practice step by step. If you rush, there will be problems. By the way, when you and David reach the limit of gasification and still can't break through, tell me. I should be able to help."

Herag plans to give David and Rui Si the world tree sap when they reach the limit of gasification, so that the effect of the world tree sap can be maximized.

It is not very meaningful for the two to simply increase their lifespan for the time being. They are all young people and it is not that time yet.

On the contrary, what they need more is the final step from gasification to liquefaction.

Both of them are still a long way from liquefaction, so they have to meditate and practice slowly.

"It's late at night, let's rest."

Herag's hand slid slowly...

...

Mosambi, this is the largest slum in Silvermoon City.

Strictly speaking, this is not a slum.

Thrandil has been distributing food regularly to ensure that people here can have enough food.

Compared with the slums in the Barrens, this place is already pretty good.

Being able to have enough food is something that many people dream of.

Mosambi is located in the west of Silvermoon City, closest to the city wall.

There are large areas of low buildings here. If you look closely, you can find that they are all low huts.

These huts are basically built with some tarpaulins, and only those who have the conditions will use wood to build houses.

In the Land of Dawn, wood is not cheap.

At least not many people in the slums can afford wood, and most people just want a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The conditions in the slums are very poor, and sewage is flowing everywhere.

Although there are sewer pipes here, no one maintains them at all, and the effect is extremely poor.

The result is that you can always smell some faint odors in Mosambi.

Some places are stronger, and some places are lighter.

As for the black sewage everywhere on the ground, people here have long been accustomed to it.

Many people even use the slightly cleaner sewage in some places as domestic water, and many people directly lie on the ground and drink the water on the ground.

Diarrhea and illness are common, and most people don’t know until they die that they got sick because they lie on the ground and drink those water.

It has been like this since childhood, and I have long been accustomed to it.

Some women with white and tender thighs sitting in front of some sheds are not good-looking.

But there are always some men wearing dirty clothes. When they pass by, they swallow their saliva and can’t walk.

After struggling for a long time, he searched his body and found five copper coins and handed them over.

The woman didn’t care about the stolen goods on the copper coins. She counted them and put them away, then pulled the man into the shed and lowered the door curtain.

In a relatively open area in the distance, many people gathered here.

An old man who looked to be in his seventies was standing in front of a large pot stirring food.

In the pot was a white dough-like food, which was magic bread.

It is a plant called breadfruit that wizards discovered when they were plundering other planes.

When the fruit of the breadfruit tree is opened, this white ball of food is inside.

This fruit can be turned into a large ball of flour after boiling, and one can fill your stomach.

It just has no taste and low nutritional value, and can only fill your stomach.

At the beginning, the yield of breadfruit trees was very low.

After being improved and cultivated by wizards, the yield of breadfruit trees has increased significantly, directly solving the problem of hunger.

There are slums in all major cities in the Land of Dawn, and each city will regularly distribute a batch of breadfruit to the slums to ensure their basic food needs.

Breadfruit will be distributed to some persons in charge of various areas of the slums, who will be responsible for the storage and distribution of food.

These people are generally people with certain power or reputation in the slums, with certain organizational skills, and the people around them will also listen to their arrangements.

Franz is 178 years old this year. He is an old man in the Mosanka slum and the most knowledgeable and prestigious old man here.

He is the only official wizard here, and he is a crystallized wizard.

Many years ago, he was qualified to leave the slums and join various organizations.

Although he is not qualified to join Thranduil, he can still join other chambers of commerce and various small organizations. Anyway, it is much better than staying in the slums.
