He raised his feet and stepped over a man sleeping in the middle of the road. He smelled of alcohol and was covered with snow. It was unclear whether he was dead.
Adventurers like to sleep next to the guild, not because the adventurer guild provides free lunch, but because if you die next to the guild, someone will help you collect your body.
Each guild has a monument of the unknown to commemorate this group of people and the adventurers who died on their unknown journey.
Peter covered his nose and walked quickly out of the park where his brothers were everywhere, as if he would be assimilated by them if he stayed for a second longer.
The smell of leaves is too strong inside, so it's not a place for people to stay.
After leaving the park, across the road is the Adventurer Market.
But Peter stopped in surprise and turned his head to look aside.
A thinly dressed girl curled up shivering on a bench on the side of the road. She was covered with a thin sheet full of stains, her little feet were exposed, and her shoes were missing. Her pink toes were covered with Cold and bloodless.
Her hair was dirty and messy, with a few snow stains on it. Did she sleep on it when it snowed last night?
Peter still had a sweater under his cloak, and even though his body had added attribute points, he still felt a faint chill. He didn't know how she survived it.
At this time, the girl's condition was very bad. Her miserable little face was pale, her earlobes were red and puffy, her eyes were closed and she was breathing weakly. She seemed to have fallen into a coma.
Didn't it say that the mayor would salute you when he saw you...
Peter turned his head and stopped looking at her.
"Whether a good person or a bad person likes to do it, I won't do it anyway."
He muttered and walked past the bench.
The girl's closed eyes moved but did not open, showing a look of pain.
...
There is a market near the Adventurer's Guild in each city.
Weapon shops, blacksmith shops, magic item shops, monster material recycling points, grocery stores, and even bars, hotels, brothels and casinos are often the first choice for adventurers with money in their pockets.
“Tamako Market...”
Peter raised his head and read out the market sign, feeling that the name was strangely familiar.
The decoration style of the market is different from other buildings in the city. How can I put it, it feels very...
modern?
Peter had the illusion that he had entered a Japanese shopping street.
A sidewalk runs through the market, with shops on both sides. The arc-shaped glass ceiling connects the houses on both sides. Various animal balloons are hung under the ceiling. Even the decoration is in a festive and bright style. The shops and There are colorful strips and flags between the shops, and the atmosphere is quite warm.
What happened? Did you go wrong?
But the first store was a weapons store. The bright knight's sword was stuck on the head of a wolf with an angry look, telling him that he was not wrong.
This is the adventurer's market that specializes in killing equipment.
After complaining about the bad taste of the market designer, Peter asked someone for directions and walked along the market to the end. The magic item shop introduced by the coachman was opened in the deepest part of the market.
Peter looked at the closed store door with confusion. The store had no name, but there was a wooden sign that said "Open". The first impression given by the door looked like a chain washing, cutting and blowing brand, not like a store selling magic props.
A few simple columns and pure black glass make people have the urge to apply for a card.
Peter pushed open the door and entered.
The store was dark, which startled him.
Peter's enhanced vision could barely see even in the dark, but the darkness was too overwhelming, as if it had swallowed up all the light, and even the light from outside the door could not penetrate into the space inside the store.
In the darkness, a pair of blue vertical pupils opened.
"welcome."
Children's voices came from the depths of darkness, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.
Peter is not afraid. The people who can open the store here are all related to the guild, so there is no need to worry about anything strange happening.
Most magicians are a bit eccentric, and it is normal for them to like to play tricks on themselves.
"Do you have crystal balls for sale?"
"Hold on."
Not long after, a beam of dim light fell on Peter's side.
A crystal ball with faint purple arcs dancing inside was held by a high table and illuminated by display lights like an exhibit.
"The amethyst mined from the Hengduan Mountains is very compatible with thunder and lightning magic. A third-level thunder gathering magic array is engraved on the base. It can be used as a medium to cast second-level and lower lightning magic without chanting... 480 gold coins."
The crystal ball refracts the light into a purple prism, and you can even feel a faint numbness coming from your skin after being illuminated. It is indeed a good thing.
I really want it, but I don’t have the money.
"Is there a cheaper one? I just use it for divination."
So the light went out, and after a while, another light came on in the same position.
What appeared this time was a transparent crystal ball held by a carved bronze chassis.
"The original owner of the funerary objects unearthed in the Western Continent was a viscount of the Roman dynasty that perished 1,100 years ago. Although this crystal ball itself has nothing special, it was contaminated with the luck of the nobles who perished and was used for mysticism. The magic weapon is the most suitable. It has been kept here for a few years. If you want, I can clear it out for you at a cheaper price... 50 gold coins."
Peter's eyelids twitched, he only had a coin in his trouser pocket, could you please stop messing with these expensive guys?
"Well... I'll be honest with you, I just use it to defraud people. I just need to look like a crystal ball. I don't have that much money to buy expensive things."
Peter silenced the vertical-eyed boss.
After a long while, the lights went out and came back on. At this time, a hollow crystal ball was placed on the table. There was a slit on the top of the crystal ball, which seemed to be able to be divided into two.
Peter asked in surprise: "What is the origin of this thing? I have traveled to many countries and have never seen this style of crystal ball."
"This is a glass fish tank."
"That's him." Peter touched it with satisfaction.
As long as it looks like a crystal ball, feels like a crystal ball, and handles like a crystal ball, then it is a crystal ball!
"...8 silver coins."
Judging from the tone, the boss was quite speechless.
"By the way, do you have a world map for sale? It's best to have one with labels."
"Ten gold coins each."
Peter was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
But the price is reasonable. After all, the continent of Terra is so big that it would take fifty or sixty years to draw a rough map. It would be better to say that it is already good to have it for sale, and there is no need to go to other places to look for it.
The map provided by the system to Youmeng Church must be used in conjunction with the paper map, which is quite inhumane.
"Is the map accurate?"
A chuckle came from the darkness.
"The Seventh Brave used this version of the map when he explored the continent. Of course, if you feel it is not accurate, you can buy it elsewhere."
Hearing this, Peter pulled out the dagger he had been carrying from his back and threw it into the darkness.
"Is this obsidian dagger worth ten gold coins?"
.........
Peter was holding a fish tank with a bottle of dark green magic potion in it, and walked back to the road where he was just now.
"I'm not a bad person, I just sell the dagger for just enough money to buy an extra bottle of medicine... I'm not a bad person, it's just that the money I sell for the dagger is enough to buy an extra bottle of medicine... I'm not a bad person... Where are the people?"
The bench where a girl had been sleeping a moment ago was now empty.
