Introduction: This potion is extremely difficult to prepare. It has irreversible side effects after drinking it, and will gradually make the person crazy. This characteristic has caused the quality and rating of this potion to drop significantly, and it has slipped down six grades.
……
The "Enlightenment Potion" is a way for an ordinary person to become a wizard, or a shortcut. This thing is also extremely precious. Even a second-rate potion requires nearly three hundred silver coins. I have encountered this before. In this world, silver is the most sacred metal and the currency with the strongest purchasing power. Three hundred silver coins are enough for a person's normal expenses for a lifetime, and there may be some left over.
The effect of the Enlightenment Potion is very powerful, comparable to bloodline items, but the side effects are also amazing, which will make the mind go crazy, and this process is irreversible. Therefore, the quality of the Enlightenment Potion, a consumable item in the sixth-level world, has directly dropped to white.
Knowing the existence of this thing, Su Xiao quickly formulated a plan to increase his reputation. All they needed to do now was to obtain a "start-up fund" for the plan.
It was also because of Caesar's presence that Su Xiao was able to come up with such a plan based on his knowledge of alchemy. Caesar's ability was truly eye-opening. His combat power was very poor, but he had the authority to exploit many loopholes.
Under the abnormal situation that the speed of gaining reputation has been greatly improved, it would be dangerous for Su Xiao to exchange items with the reputation of the Wizard Association, but Caesar could change the exchange nature of some items to silver coins of equal value. By taking advantage of the change in the exchange nature, they could brush up their reputation and make a profit in the store.
Lin Jiu and his companions walked through several blocks and finally arrived at the border of the Holy Silver District. Here, whether in the narrow alleys or the busy streets, you can see groups of men wearing rough linen clothes and covered in sweat. They are all coolies engaged in heavy physical labor. They work hard every day, but the income is meager, earning only 3 to 7 copper coins.
1 silver coin = 2159 copper coins. This exaggerated exchange ratio shows that the currency mechanism of wizards is separated from that of civilians. In other words, silver coins are the currency of wizards, and civilians can exchange extraordinary items for silver coins, which is equivalent to an enhanced version of winning the lottery jackpot.
As soon as he stepped out of the border of the Holy Silver District, Lin Jiu immediately noticed the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. He felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching him in the dark, most of which just glanced away, but a few still seemed extremely persistent and locked onto him.
"Oh." After arriving at Bone Harbor, GunGun was disgusted by the terrible environment here.
"Why didn't you feel dirty when you were covered in mud?" Lin Jiu complained. Isabella's smile disappeared because she was the one who cleaned up every time GunGun came back covered in mud.
Of course, Isabella's prefix is "Maid of Disaster", but she is a combat unit, not a real maid. During her cleaning process, Gungun will not feel good. But Gungun finished the photo, it's fun! Love to play!
"Hmm." GunGun shook his head, indicating that how could it be the same? The mud stuck on its body is usually hundreds of times cleaner than here.
The sewers of Heru City are all located in Bone Harbor. The so-called sewers are super-large canals in the low-lying areas of the city, used to drain water on rainy days. Bone Harbor is the most chaotic area among the three major areas of Heru City, and the environment here can be imagined. The description of rolling is really not an exaggeration.
The streets were extremely muddy, and Lin Jiu had to use the flame of the sun to dry the roads as he walked, otherwise it would be extremely uncomfortable to walk. This environment was not strange at all, the sun in this world was always blocked, the sky remained gray, and after the rain, there was no sunlight at all, and the roads had remained like this for a long time.
Lin Jiu can still mobilize the power of the sun in this world. The way the ruler Sothoth deprives the sun is to create a gray sky to block it, rather than clearing away all the power of the sun. Lin Jiu cannot feel the temperature of the sun because the world is being sucked by the ancient gods.
The source of the solar power projected from the Sun Star to each world is not the Sun Star, that is only responsible for the initial projection. If the solar power of each world comes from the Sun Star, then Lin Jiu can't imagine what power can make the Sun Star fall, even the erosion of the abyss can't do it.
In fact, after the sun star completes the projection, the sun projected to this world will be associated with the world and become a part of the world. Then the power of the sun naturally comes from the power of the world. And the existence of the sun also makes the world more prosperous.
In the wizard continent, the ancient gods sucked the world, and the whole world was heading towards destruction, so the sun of this world was naturally no exception. The feeling that was finally fed back to Lin Jiu was that of decay.
Walking on the street, the doors of houses on both sides of the street opened one after another, and civilians left their homes, panting. If they didn't work for a day, the whole family would starve. This was the city of Heru.
The aroma of food wafted through the streets. The city seemed to come alive and there was no look of despair on the faces of the civilians. In fact, once you get used to this environment, it's nothing. Humans are one of the most adaptable races.
No matter how difficult the environment is, people will find ways to survive and, through hard work and wisdom, upgrade from "survival" to "life". There is an essential difference between the two. The former is the way of life of animals, and the latter is the way of life of humans.
Bone Harbor, the most simple and honest episode. Lin Jiu and his friends saw a man being killed by a click on the street, and the pedestrians who witnessed this scene were very calm and continued to do their own things. This kind of thing happens dozens of times every day in Bone Harbor. If it was quiet that day, these people would be surprised.
A carriage was coming from a distance. When the perpetrator saw the carriage, he threw the body to the ground and left. This carriage came once every morning to deal with the bodies of unknown origin. This is the bone port, the port where bones are buried.
"Hello, are you new here? Do you have any…"
The troublemaker hadn't even finished his words when Isabella, who was beside Lin Jiu, pointed with her little hand, and a lightning bolt of death struck the guy on the head, turning him into a charred corpse.
When Lin Jiu saw someone coming forward to cause trouble, he felt that it was right. His kind temperament made him easy to bully at first glance, and it was right for someone to cause trouble. After all, not everyone was as angry as Su Xiao. Although the development of things was right, he still had to kill him. He came here directly to the boss this time, so naturally he had no time to deal with these small characters.
He took a look at the main drainage ditch beside him. It was a ditch about 30 meters wide and 50 meters deep. The sides of the ditch were paved with square stones, and there were many iron ladders leading down. Since the carriage did not come to collect the body, Lin Jiu kindly kicked the guy's body into the drainage ditch to avoid blocking the road.
Bang~
Sewage was splashing everywhere, but since it was the rainy season not long ago, the water in the sewer was only a dozen centimeters high. In addition, it had just rained, so the air in the sewer was still fresh, so the corpse should not have rotted so quickly.
