The Remaining City - The Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 31 The Eighth Floor
This kind of monster can use very powerful lightning strikes, so it ranks quite high among the monsters that mid-level explorers don't like to conquer.
"Very good. I will bring Lilia here on time before eight o'clock tomorrow. Brother Karin, let's leave now. I have to prepare some anti-mine equipment and medicine for Lilia." Li Liya was really in pain.
This junior.
"Actually, I also want to go there and prepare some things. Can we come together?" Karin was worried about not knowing the location.
"Of course." Li Lian led the way, but Lilia never spoke much and her face was always red.
Li Lian led the two of them through the streets and came to an alchemist's shop. Opposite was a blacksmith shop, where quite a few explorers were gathering for shopping.
The equipment in the blacksmith shop opposite is indeed excellent, and the bows and arrows sold are even better than Alexander's weapons, but the medicines and equipment sold here are obviously not as good as those held by Carlin.
Karin pretended to walk around the alchemy shop, comparing the prices of medicines, but his eyes still glanced at the blacksmith shop from time to time.
Of course, he couldn't help it any longer, so he told Li Lian and walked straight towards the blacksmith shop.
This blacksmith shop supports customized services. Many explorers have brought their own materials. Of course, some have brought materials but left disappointed.
[Is that the blacksmith shop here?] Carlin listened to the conversations of other explorers and watched the blacksmith working or talking. It sounded like this.
Kalin stood on tiptoe and took a few more glances. What was the approximate grade of the materials brought by other explorers? How much did the blacksmiths charge?
For this group of explorers, most of whom are junior and intermediate, with few superiors, describing this blacksmith shop as highly skilled is a bit like an insult.
Of course, most explorers have little self-cultivation, and this is already their best compliment.
Carlin didn't understand the value of these materials, and the prices charged by the blacksmith shop clerks fluctuated quite a lot. The processing fees ranged from a dozen linseys for the cheapest to hundreds of linseys for the expensive ones.
The prices charged by this blacksmith shop are in line with the standards, and of course there is spare money to hire a few clerks.
The blacksmith shop is semi-open. Inside, a grumpy old man with a beard is yelling and giving instructions to the young apprentices on their work, and occasionally he will do it himself.
This shop uses a lot of biological materials, and ordinary blacksmith shops mainly use various metals as materials.
This guy is more like a blacksmith than a blacksmith.
[It looks like the level is very high. At least, the materials won’t be used up.] Carlin was poor and only had money, but it really wasn’t much. He didn’t have much idea at the moment, so he looked around and remembered the location.
Then he went back to the alchemy shop to wait for Rirei and the others.
If the store has any, buy a bottle of medicine to treat injuries, just in case.
But after that, Li Lian and the others had already left. Perhaps the potions and enchanted jewelry had already been ordered.
Karin thought for a while and decided to ask the store clerk, besides potions, does this place also sell equipment?
As a result, there were actually some enchanted jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.
"Hello, I would like to change some jewelry equipment. Also, is there any space equipment here?" The blacksmith shop happens to be very lively, so even if my problem is silly, it is not a big problem.
"Space equipment, I'm sorry. Our store only has ordinary enchanted jewelry, and the jewelry itself is also an ordinary material." The clerk said that there is no such high-end goods.
"So where should I go...Although they rated me as the top explorer, I still know almost nothing about this place. I can't find any equipment or spell scrolls. I don't want to wander there.
At night." Carlin scratched his head in distress, and of course did not forget to lower his volume.
"Are you the most advanced explorer? Only the association has the channels to provide equipment that is suitable for the most advanced explorer," the clerk said.
"I thought so too, but they didn't seem to mention it at all, and they were hesitant when I asked. I think it's because of their rules. Do you know of any other more famous stores? Any level can be entrusted.
I'm not ready yet, I have to walk a little more." In Karin's opinion, the explorer level cannot be concealed, and is simply used for convenience.
"That's not the case. You just need to appoint someone to build the equipment, and the association will provide convenience. That's it." The clerk denied Carlin's statement.
"Is that so? Maybe the way I asked is not right? Anyway, thank you. If I have a chance, I'll come back another time." Karin nodded in greeting.
"take care."
Finally having a place to spend money, Karin thanked the clerk and left quickly compared to ordinary people, heading towards the Explorers Association.
By the time Carlin arrived at the Explorers Association, it was already dusk and it would be dark soon. By this time, the explorers had almost dispersed.
Luckily, we don't have to queue. If we still have to queue, it won't be Carlin's turn to tell his needs today.
"Hello, I hope it won't delay your rest. Does this place provide space equipment and small jewelry equipment?" Just as there was no one around, Carlin hurriedly came to the counter and expressed his needs to the staff.
"Ready-made or made-to-order?" The clerk rubbed her eyes.
"Well, I think it's ready-made. There's no rush to order it... It's probably too late." Karin said that space equipment is more important, and if there is no jewelry, it won't hurt.
So Carlin bought the smallest space bag from the association. Although it was not as good as a ring, it was still considered space equipment.
A blue-violet feather that can glow in dim environments and become invisible in bright environments blooms like the night sky with starlight.
The staff are about to finish a tiring day's work, and in two quarters of an hour it will be wonderful dinner time.
Carlin was packing his things and listening to the possible conversations of the staff openly. He was also a little hungry.
Rather than asking directly, Tutu prefers to listen to what others say. [I wonder if there is a famous pub or something here]
It was a pity that he had never seen the store names that Carlin heard when he was shopping before, so the short time to pack up the items was over.
Picking up the package with him, Tutu looked at the staff closest to him, intending to ask them where the store names they mentioned were. "Ah, I'm sorry. Before I leave, could you please recommend a store nearby besides that one?"
Besides Golden Corner Tower, are there any more popular pubs or restaurants?”
"Well, that's too much, but since this is your first time coming to Laodun, I suggest you go to Qingquan Hotel and try the food there." Then the clerk briefly explained how to find it.
"Thank you." Karin thanked the staff and set off in the direction of the Qingquan Hotel.
It was a one-story hotel where people from various professions came in and out to taste the food. To be honest, it was so popular, wouldn't it be better to just open a restaurant? It was already full, and you had to queue up if you wanted to eat.
In fact, it didn't matter. In addition to trying something new, Carlin also wanted to stay in the crowd to get information, so he joined the waiting line and began to try to listen to the conversations between the people in line and the diners.
This restaurant also requires diners to bring enough mel. Nearly one-third of the diners have complained about the recent shortage of copper coins and the skyrocketing copper prices.
The other third don't seem to have this kind of trouble, they are probably rich people who don't need change. The last third, like Carlin, have recently arrived in Lawton. These people talk in a broad way, but there is nothing special about it.
valuable.
After a while, it was Carlin's turn. He looked at the menu and saw what dishes were available here... The signature dishes of this restaurant are colorful fruit pie, spring chicken stewed with corn, and crispy eggplant buns.
The vegetables selected for the dishes are all very fresh and specially cultivated, so many people pay extra to increase the amount of side dishes. In addition, many people order egg dishes.
Carlin decided to order one of the same dishes, and asked the waiter how much of each dish they had. Just enough to eat.
If he is willing, he can eat more than a dozen portions, but one or two portions are enough just to satisfy his hunger. So in the end, just one portion is fine.
The colorful fruit pie is very sweet, but the sour fruits perfectly complement it, so it can be called a signature dish.
Spring water chicken stewed with corn does not use any spices, fully reflecting the taste of the ingredients themselves.
The final crispy eggplant box uses a cut and hollowed pumpkin as a pot, and then stews it in boiling water. Inside is stewed eggplant, potatoes, and carrots. The salt content is just right. It is also unique when paired with soft fried snacks.
Since they were all signature dishes, Carlin didn't have any change on hand, so he just went out with Lindsay. But if he comes to try other dishes in the future, they won't be so expensive.
It was already dark after eating the signature dish. While eating, were there no diners dressed as explorers around? There are mostly businessmen in this place, and there are also some tourists.
There is no doubt that the Qingquan Hotel is not targeted at explorers. The reason why the staff recommended it was because it was Carlin’s first time here, and as a top-level explorer, he didn’t think it was expensive.
Carlin left in a hurry after eating. Before returning to the hotel to rest, he planned to find a grocery store to renew his dry food reserves for five days.
Finally, we return to the hotel and check to see if the landlady is there... How can we call a ten-year-old child the landlady?
While the girl was dozing off, she heard Karin's footsteps, woke up and coughed awkwardly.
"Ah, good evening. I'm disturbing your rest." Karin didn't want to disturb you anymore, so he took his things and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
She nodded sheepishly and watched this strange traveler disappear from her sight.
