V1.Chapter 168

Quicksand Ferry.

This is the intersection of the north-south boundary. The lake water from the Daxue Mountain flows down. It is divided into two rivers, one south and one north. In the center is a large delta area. There was once a very serious soil erosion due to the transitional reclamation and felling. The sandy land washed into the rushing river water, making the whole river look a little turbid and yellow. If it wasn't for a Druid to intervene to stop it, a terrible disaster like 'the Yellow River's diversion' might happen again here.

At least in the geographical knowledge Sauron remembered, a terrain similar to the 'Baibaili Liangshan Po' was formed here because of the diversion of the river.

This is the territory of the intelligent lizardmen.

They are different from the small-scale lizardmen in the wilderness. These creatures know how to build villages and make weapons. They are blessed by a weaker 'lizardmen god'. Every once in a while, these lizardmen try to trade with nearby humans, buying large quantities of food supplies with gems and gold coins they find. Weapons are contraband. Lizardmen are fickle and cunning by nature, and attacks on humans occur from time to time. Even the most greedy merchants dare not sell weapons to them on a large scale.

Large groups of lizardmen are scattered in this water pool. They are amphibious creatures, and this is the most suitable place for them to live.

Nearby humans believe in the god of justice.

Within a radius of 150 kilometers from this delta, the laws are stricter than other places, and even minor violations of the law may be punished. The priests of the God of Justice also serve as judges, and many of his followers serve as guards, where those of the evil camp will be excluded, just as the Underdark mocks the well-behaved and regards them as a form of weakness. Every place has its own customs and its own rules. If you don't have the appropriate knowledge, you'll quickly run into trouble.

Sauron's figure appeared near the delta.

He took off his hood, and the justice guard thought that people who hide their heads and show their tails are easy to be bad guys. This might get them more attention.

Compared to other cities, it is much cleaner here. Even the buildings appear well-organized, and the God of Justice is a decent deity, although he is a 'lawful good' deity, but not as extreme as other lawful good deities. However, his pastor is also notoriously hard-headed, and has been trying to promote the idea of ​​'the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty' for so many years. It is a pity that this doctrine has been strongly rejected by the nobles, and even the nobles here have only compromised to the point that they must be punished.

For example, if a noble kills innocent civilians, compensation or other punishments must be made. and even reduce deprivation.

But not executed.

This is a relatively kind-hearted place. Although there is a semi-slavery system, the random execution of slaves will be fined, and slaves in other places are completely equal to private property. Slavery is ubiquitous in this world, but it has strict requirements. Slaves have corresponding identification certificates and contract documents. The black market slave trade has always been an industry severely hit by the paladins.

………………

Sauron planned to go south by boat from here.

This is the quickest way to get to the sea, and it only takes a day or two to get to Shipwreck Bay, which is close to the Soros Islands and close to the City of Fortune. It used to be called 'Bounty Bay'. The main reason is that it once became the center of trade with tropical jungles. Due to the special geographical environment, many ships full of goods and wealth hit the rocks and sank nearby. It took humans a long time to find a safe route there, and navigating shipwreck bays is the hottest profession.

Sauron cleaned up the dark tide murlocs there. This creature has found a lot of underwater treasures, but it is a pity that they rarely go to land. [Note: There are undead guardians. 】

To deal with them, underwater breathing medicine is necessary, and the battle is still swimming. Sauron is very unsuitable for this kind of battle, so he did not stay for too much time.

[Underwater Combat] This specialty is too difficult to master!

Sauron paid fifteen Kindlers as a reward, and then found a merchant ship heading south, with cargo in the bilge below. There will be some high-end guest rooms at the top, and you can earn hundreds of Kindlers by going back and forth. These ships are owned by the Chamber of Commerce. The strength of the guards was no worse than that of the caravan. When Sauron went up, he saw more than 20 guards in the fleet. Among them, there are more than three-level guard captains. This kind of life is undoubtedly much easier than the adventure, and it can also bring a well-off life to the family.

There is little danger on the river course.

There were lizardmen attacking ships a few years ago, but unfortunately now the guardian deity of the lizardmen has also fallen asleep, and those dishonest guys have also restrained a lot.

The first-class guest room Sauron ordered was above the cabin, and the decoration and finishing were not bad.

A sailor led him to the door of the room and left, looking quite respectful, after all, the profession of wizard can scare people.

Because the ship will sway when sailing, here are hammocks and fixed wooden beds, tables and chairs are directly hit the wall, basically most of the things are fixed, otherwise it is easy to damage and fall. Sauron took off his wizard robe, and then took out a book to read. He bought some books when he passed the city. The environment of sailing on the ship was not suitable for spell research, and he didn't like to be stupid. Read some books.

Knowledge is never too much!

Soon, the merchant ship swayed slightly. It should have gone south. It is still sailing smoothly now, but some areas in the back are more troublesome. In this case, it is impossible to meditate and conduct research on spells. You may be injured by a bump or shake. Anything related to spells must be relatively mentally focused.

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

Sauron hung his clothes on the wall, then sat beside the bed and read a book. The door next door seemed to be opened, and it seemed that the guests who lived next to him came.

boom!

There was a slight noise, as if someone had hit the wall with their backs.

Sauron's listening skills have improved a lot during this time. He is very sensitive to some movements. Sometimes he can even judge what is going on outside based on the sound, whether the footsteps are fast or slow, what is the mood of the walker, and what is he doing? things and so on. The basic skills may not look very good, but the effect produced by accumulation little by little is amazing.

Sauron seemed to hear gasps.

This made him frown slightly and put the book in his hand down. The voice next door was obviously a little louder, and there were faint moans from women and gasps from men. The wall slammed again, and the other side should also be fixed to the wall. side wooden bed. The guests next door seemed to be a little too eager to go to bed as soon as they got on the boat.

The hull shook a little.

Then there was the woman's coquettish laughter, and the man's slight pained cry, as if they had hit somewhere.

After a while, there were bursts of creaking noises, as well as more and more obvious rapid breathing, which made Sauron frowned. He really didn't like hearing this kind of sound.

Especially since he has restrained himself for so long.

A faint voice came.

"Ah!...Dear...the...are we going to make a fortune now...we're going to make a fortune..."

"Squeak...squeak...hoo...yes...we're going to make a fortune...wait to bring this back!...Karin...Dena...the Countess...must be willing to pay a premium Get it down..."

The voice was a little weaker.

The words Sauron heard afterward were a little intermittent, and he couldn't hear it clearly, as if saying: "That vain bitch... always wanted to seduce Prince William... It's a pity that she is not very beautiful... She... has been... Want... huh... this thing is said to enhance the charm... her father is a wealthy businessman... mining a gold mine... she must be willing to pay a high price..."

The woman's moan rose a little, and the creaking became more rapid.

After a while.

The movement gradually became much smaller, and you could hear the man's exhausted voice saying, "Dear... why don't you try putting it on first?..."

"I don't want it!...Giggle!...It is said that there is a curse on that thing...Is there any problem with selling it to her..."

"Whatever!...As long as she's willing to pay!...It is said that in order to seduce Prince William...she has begun to try some forbidden methods to make herself more beautiful! ! …”

Then the sound disappeared.

Sauron couldn't help but stood up and walked around a little. There was no sound of footsteps. The other party didn't seem to notice anyone next door. The cabins are separated by a plank, which is in fact poor soundproofing. There was a thoughtful expression on Sauron's face, and his expression seemed to be moved, because everything mentioned by the other party seemed to represent some extraordinary item.

Can increase the charm?

It seems to be some relatively special equipment. Has the person next door found one of them?

Sauron felt a little itchy.

Extraordinary items are not so easy to get, and the ones that can improve their attributes are even rarer. Maybe the opponent finds a legendary item.

As for the above said to have a curse, it does not matter.

There are a lot of cursed equipment in this world, and any extraordinary items of the evil camp are cursed in the eyes of ordinary people.

I just don't know how strong the two people next door are. They definitely won't be ordinary civilians. People who can get this kind of equipment are basically so skilled.

Sauron opened the window and looked at the sky outside, and quickly made up his mind.

He intends to act after dark.

Sauron was not a kind-hearted person in the first place. With a piece of extraordinary equipment beside him, he would have some ideas in his heart.
