Chapter 192 This Place Is so Scary!

When it was getting dark, Tang Yan returned to Xiacheng District from Feilong Pass in the outer city.

Feilong Pass is the two bridges east of Baldur's Gate and upstream of the Chongsa River. They extend from the Flame Fist Fortress of Feilong Rock to the north and south. The bridge is wide enough to allow overland travelers to pass its many buildings and along the road into Baldur's Gate, and it is here that all goods traveling overland to the Lower City of Darravington are taxed.

Strangely, unlike most bridges in your imagination, countless different buildings were built above this intersection:

There are everything from exquisite multi-story shops to small vendors, and even shops hanging on both sides of a stone bridge overlooking the precarious Chong Sa River. and was once considered an area within the Outer City of Baldur's Gate. The huge Flame Fist Fortress is built on Feilong Rock, far above the river.

After walking around, Tang Yan felt that Baldur's Gate was indeed a very interesting city. It was reasonable but also unreasonable, and unreasonable but also reasonable.

In the lower city, he came to the place where he had followed his finger at the beginning.

When I arrived, I discovered that this place was actually a magic sundries store, which sold all kinds of arcane supplies, ranging from spell materials to magic items. It looks like a two- or three-story building from the outside, but it's actually very large inside. It's decorated with gorgeous furniture, carpets, and silk curtains, and it looks majestic at first glance.

What's weird is that this is not only a store, but also a restaurant? In the restaurant, there are often waiters talking to customers, and they seem to be exchanging topics completely different from eating. Tang Yan's ears were sharp and he discovered that they were talking about magic-related topics.

"The scroll of "Serial Lightning" will be ready next week. I still lack funds for experiments. Mr. Rivalen, can you lend me some first?"

"I need to report to the master."

On the continent of Faerûn, there are two professions, one is a magistrate and the other is a non-magistrate. The priest relies on the gods to cast spells, and he can barely count as half a magician. Low-level mages are relatively weak, but high-level mages are ridiculously strong. They are considered to be the profession with the highest growth rate in Faerûn, bar none!

Of course, the Master also paid a price.

The master of Faerûn is not a blue stripe master, but also a spell position master. The master needs to meditate and memorize spells every day. There are limits to the number of spells and spells he can cast each day. This not only requires the master to be thoughtful about how to cast the spells for the next day, but also requires the master to know the spells to be released. How to understand them?

Naturally, it is a magic experiment. After all, practice brings out the truth.

Therefore, the Master not only needs to have the talent to cast spells, but also needs to be talented and intelligent to understand the structure of magic and then communicate with the magic network before he can cast spells.

If you only have spellcasting talent, you will end up being a fool who only knows a few level 0 spells and tricks (spells are divided into levels 0-9). He is not worthy of becoming a magician and can only be jokingly called a "human wand".

A wand is a magic item that can shoot magic missiles and the like.

In ordinary society, people who are smart, talented and powerful can easily obtain more social resources. Therefore, the high-level mage is not only powerful in combat, but also has his own magic tower and a network of relationships, which is extremely troublesome.

But before becoming a master, a master who borrows money for experiments is naturally not a master.

What Tang Yan heard was about this civilian mage borrowing money for experiments. It is said that some mages even borrowed usury from the devil in order to conduct experiments.

Very outrageous.

At least half of the weird things in Faerûn are caused by mages.

After thinking for a while, several teammates arrived one after another, including Zhou Changliu.

Zhou Changliu had a mournful expression on his face, which was different from his calm and comfortable expression every day.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yan asked, there are no strong people here. With Zhou Zhangliu's strength, no one should be able to beat him.

"It's so terrible here!" Zhou Changliu said sadly.

"Huh? What's so scary about this?" Tang Yan was puzzled. He slipped around and it was normal. He has been to even the cellar area beneath the uptown area. There are only dilapidated temples and some weak monsters there, which is nothing.

Could it be that I encountered a devil or a demon?

"There are no public baths in such a big city!" Zhou Changliu said.

"Ah? What's so scary about this!" Zhang Zichen said dumbfounded.

"This shows that they don't pay attention to hygiene and are dirty! Oh my God, this place is just a huge garbage dump!" Zhou Changliu said in fear.

"..."

The angle is very tricky and the idea is very strange. Tang Yan was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say.

How could such a good person have a brain?

He said to Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen, "What information do you two have?"

Compared with Zhou Changliu, Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen are undoubtedly much more normal. The two people talking to each other are similar to what Tang Yan saw during the day.

At the end, Zhang Zichen said: "I found that most of the people in Baldur's Gate are ordinary people, even the Flame Fist warriors are very ordinary. Isn't it said that there are as many lichs as dogs in Faerun, and legends are everywhere?"

The Flame Fist Warriors are the armed force of Baldur's Gate. As a three-star reincarnation, Zhang Zichen did not feel any threat in Baldur's Gate.

"After all, it's a trading city, there can't be so many strong people." Tang Yu said with a smile, and added: "In fact, most of those people are in the Mage Tower or the demiplane. Some buildings may have only one room outside, or maybe a football field inside, ambushing a bunch of monsters and summoned demons!"

"... Can it be like this?" Zhang Zichen didn't expect that people in this world would play like this.

Doesn't space magic cost money?

For a wizard who can create a demiplane, space is indeed not very valuable, just like this place now.

"I went to the spice market in the lower city and found that there are many similar spices in this world. For example, pepper, star anise, bay leaves, etc., but they are more expensive." Wang Jinjue was still thinking about the hot pot cult, and went to investigate the spice market.

Hot pot base, this thing is not only oil, but also spices. Various spices are mixed together, even brushing shoe pads is delicious! They started the hot pot cult, the first step is to make the base, as for the hot pot dishes, it's simple, adapt to local conditions, and use whatever you have.

Thanks to Baldur's Gate being an important trading city on the west coast, there are so many spices. If it were a normal place, there wouldn't be so many spices. It's normal that spices are expensive. Faerun is similar to Europe during the Age of Navigation. Spices are all shipped by sea. How can they not be expensive?

As for land transportation, what a joke. There are more monsters on land transportation than hairs. A caravan without strength can't pass through at all!

"One more thing, who among you can stir-fry hot pot base?" Tang Yin asked.

"I can eat." Zhou Changliu said.

"Me too."

"Me too!"

"... I knew you guys can't cook! But, I can!" Tang Yin said with a smile.

The illustration function is surprisingly useful.
