The Voyage of Exchange——Rebirth from the Dead Chapter 63: The Road That Doesn't Exist
According to the chronology of the principality, it was February 12th of the eighth year. Rosemar was just as Sophia had imagined. Its tall and neat exterior walls were no worse than any city or even the royal capital that the group had seen.
When the horses that had lost a lot of weight pulled the carriage into the city, the spell casters clearly felt that their spell casting abilities were restricted again. Even Cat and Adora felt uncomfortable for a moment.
After checking the documents, he was released normally. The color of the city of Rosemar was similar to Se'an, but there was no concentration of poor people like the lower city. Everywhere looked so prosperous.
After the groom sent the carriage to the carriage house and the horses could finally rest, the group went to the Adventurers Association to register, and the staff submitted applications to meet the Queen. The replies were also frighteningly fast, even useless.
A quarter of an hour.
Tomorrow at 1 o'clock at noon, the queen has a quarter of an hour. Before that, someone must go to the palace at 12 o'clock to wait for the summons.
Alexander was worried that the others would not be able to do it, so he volunteered to go alone. After deciding on a candidate, it was just after noon, so it seemed that he could go shopping.
Chester and Gabru went somewhere unknown. Adora followed Nina to the hotel arranged by the association to rest, and the cat disappeared halfway.
Like what Fageni said, Chester was so lucky that he could find magic books when he went shopping. How could a normal person have such good luck?
Alexander remembered that her weapons had not been upgraded for a long time, and planned to go to a weapons store or a blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop she entered was full of ordinary swords, bows, axes, etc. Although the materials were good, they were not comparable at all.
Put on your equipment. For Alexander, you can only replenish ordinary arrows.
Sophia came to the Explorers Association and asked where to find alchemists from the Potion Sect, and where to buy alchemy potions. By the way, see if the association here has any suitable commissions that can be accepted, such as
core and the like.
Sofia saw a lot of commissions that looked pretty good, but now the group could not accept other commissions. After all, it was such a big deal as meeting the Queen.
The Alchemy Potion Association sells them on your behalf. Here explorers can also buy potions from general alchemy shops.
As for the alchemist of the Pharmacy School, the staff member said he didn't know. After all, he was just a small staff member.
Sophia then asked if she could be entrusted with refining medicine and the fees. She was told that she could not be entrusted with refining medicine, but the association could do it internally.
If the materials and crystals of the dragon power potion were deposited in the association for appraisal, she might find them useful and force them to purchase them directly. So Sophia only asked about places related to the supernatural.
The staff said something like this. "It would be better to say that except for the church, the Magisters Association, the Explorers Association, and a few other officially recognized extraordinary forces, all others will be suppressed."
The commissions I had seen before were all about sending archaeologists to each other, picking some rare medicinal materials, clearing out the goblins in the ruins, etc.
A faction of Faction Explorers can accept up to two commissions at the same time, and more can be accepted only after completing them.
"Where can I do things like custom-made equipment?" Sophia decided to do it there, but she was a little annoyed to do it here.
"You can do it at the association." The clerk gave a formal smile.
"Do you have any potions here that can restore a certain level of energy immediately or quickly?"
"Of course, but side effects are inevitable."
"Can you tell me the extent of the effect and side effects?"
"For explorers with different strengths, the effect may be very huge or very low, and the same goes for the side effects. For you, there should be almost no side effects."
"Hmm...what's the price?"
"Two Lindseys in one bottle, the more powerful version is ten in one bottle."
So Sofia bought some vitality potions and stronger versions.
Moeng Nan searched around for a long time but couldn't find any store related to the extraordinary. Hitz also searched around for a whole day and couldn't find a single alchemy workshop. After all, this city is almost ten times the size of Se'an.
Zate visited many bookstores and found more planting books, but they were also more expensive. Ryan bumped into Zate in a certain bookstore, but he did not find any books related to the supernatural.
It was almost evening, and the two of them walked out of the last bookstore they went to today, but still found nothing.
But the black cat with yellow eyes that was eating and drinking on Sophia's carriage jumped and ran on the eaves across the street, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That is, when his attention was attracted by the cat, Zate saw a wall where the cat disappeared suddenly disappear and a road appeared, but the people around him did not respond and continued to do their own things or walk past.
"Ryan, there seems to be something over there." Zha pulled his teammates and whispered.
"Then, let's go take a look." Ryan didn't see anything, but he still believed Zate.
"Yeah." Out of curiosity, Zate took Ryan to the location where the cat disappeared.
When we walked to the alley, we could only see a wall, which was normal. At this time, Zate's vision was only a deserted alley, where there was a turn, except for a few barrels and wooden boxes.
There is nothing on the road.
"Although it's not a good thing to say this, but... Ryan, please wait for me here. It seems that I am the only one who sees that there is a road here." Zate said hesitantly.
"Zate, are you sure you are here? I think this is just a wall." Ryan tried to reach out and touch the wall in front of him, and he did touch a wall.
"Maybe it's an unknown barrier? Anyway, I'm going to go take a look first. If it doesn't work, I can still contact him with the emblem." After Zate made an agreement with Ryan, he tried to enter the alley.
Ryan also wanted to try to follow Zate in. Of course, if it didn't work, he would wait here for news. As a result, Zate raised his foot and hit the wall with his toes, which was super painful. "Zate, are you okay?
"
"It's okay." Zate said, enduring the pain.
Some people around also noticed the strange behavior of the two. After all, just standing at the wall and talking could be understood as a couple, but touching and kicking against the wall was very strange.
Zate thought for a while, and then whispered to Ryan. "You can go back first and leave this place to me. I think one of the prerequisites for me to be able to go in is that no one else can be around. I want to try it alone."
.”
Ryan tried to use the basic usage of magic power to feel the fluctuations of magic power on the wall. Of course, even if he touched it with his hands, there would be no magic fluctuations on the wall. Since the two of them were still lingering here and acting strangely, Ryan and Za
I heard someone from the store sending someone to call the guards.
"Okay, I'll leave now, and I'll contact you anytime." Ryan was about to leave temporarily and go shopping somewhere else. Although it was going to be dark soon, he didn't plan to go back to the hotel, and now Zate was the only one left.
After Ryan left, Zate tried again to enter the alley before waiting for the guards to come. As a result, he hit a wall again, and he could clearly hear the surrounding shops and passers-by talking about the madman here.
Zate's face immediately turned red. It was completely different from what he had guessed before. Maybe it was the time or the method was wrong, but Zate had no choice but to leave this place first and wait until it was dark and there were few pedestrians before coming over to take a look.
look.
As night fell, Nina disappeared again.
Although Fageni and Noel were not there, when the group of people returned one after another, they found that Chester and Gabru had been drinking and drinking until they were drunk, while Adora was taking a bath in the bathroom of her room.
After the cat jumped up the stairs with graceful steps to find Sophia in the room on the second floor, Ryan and Zate were the last to come back.
In this city with a high concentration of mortals, no one knows how many supernatural beings there are, but at least today, except for Zate, no one else has had any contact with them.
Alexander had already gone to bed after dinner. Perhaps due to the atmosphere, the group did not have a routine dinner this time.
After everyone settled their growling stomachs, as time went by and the night got darker, the streets in front and behind the hotel were still noisy. Looking out the window was even brighter, making people wonder if there was a curfew here.
But it would be better to rest early today. After all, after hearing the commission at noon tomorrow, I have to take action again - getting the Queen to meet and grant the commission in person may be more difficult than slaying the dragon. After all, that guy Noel accepted the slaying of the dragon by himself.
commission.
Looking back on past adventures, the most powerful enemy the group faced was probably the incarnation of the evil god.
Putting aside dragon slaying, it was strange for the queen to put down her heavy official duties and find time to meet a mercenary from a foreign country who was not a legend.
The story behind this is unknown. The Principality of Cyrus hides its extraordinary side very well, so if there is a backlash, it will definitely be particularly strong. Of course, not everyone has this kind of uneasiness.
But everyone has their own troubles, even someone who smiles every day.
