Blake's more than 30-meter-high gate is obviously not open in normal times. There are four side doors on both sides of the gate. Although it is not as majestic as the main gate, it is still more than ten meters high. Perhaps it is because of the recent arrival of Princess Alicia.
In order to select a guardian knight, the side door was also busy with people coming and going. When they saw Vincent riding a horse and leading everyone over, sharp-eyed people immediately spotted him: "Ah! That's not the Holy Light Messenger.
What?"
"It's really the Holy Light Messenger!"
The people spontaneously made way for Vincent. Vincent smiled, nodded in greeting, and said loudly: "May the light always bless Briano!"
"May the light always bless Blaino!" The people also chanted in unison, which startled the sleepy Lily!
Each race in this continent has different beliefs. For example, most Blaeno people believe in the Goddess of Light, and the Church of Light has a great influence in Blaeno. Most Kaleta people believe in the God of War, and many people do.
Believe in the devil. Of course Dix follows the god of Hades~ However, many of the necromancers of Dix not only believe in the god of Hades, but also believe in the goddess of the undead, a subordinate god of Hades. The most interesting thing is the Skells, they do not
They have unified beliefs and can change the gods they believe in at will for various reasons, just like their chaotic country.
Lily looked at the dense crowd around her drowsily, yawned and continued to sleep in Aurelia's arms - sleeping on horseback is really uncomfortable, when can I sleep on a soft bed during the day...
…
Vincent did not take everyone directly to the palace. After all, a place like the palace was not accessible to just anyone. This time Vincent could only take Sophia in, so Vincent had to take other people there first.
Hotel accommodation.
Naturally, the hotel Vincent chose was not the kind of small hotel where Lily stayed before, but a resting place specially prepared for foreign envoys and certain distinguished people. People who don't know may think this if they look outside.
Which prince's mansion is it?
The hotel is a five-story stone building with a "concave"-shaped floor plan. There is a very quiet garden in the backyard. There is also a fountain with a goddess statue in the center of the garden. It is said that this goddess statue will be blessed by a priest every year, so
The water from the fountain also has magical effects.
Aurelia took Lily to choose the room closest to the northwest corner, because it was the place with the weakest sunlight. After finally seeing the comfortable and soft big bed, Lily immediately jumped on it and fell asleep almost touching the pillow.
After Fan put his few luggage in the room, he took the purse left by Sophia when he left and came to Lily and Aurelia's room. He knocked politely on the door. The person who opened the door was maintaining a bow and arrows.
of Aurelia.
"Um...Lily is asleep?" Glancing at Lily who was sleeping carelessly, Fan looked at Aurelia, who looked calm but obviously a little impatient, and asked softly, "I want to go out.
I’m shopping for some things, is there anything you need to bring?”
If Lily was still awake, she would definitely jump up and ask Van to buy her some normal clothes. But it is obvious that she is playing with Pegasus in her dream and has no idea of Van's arrival. And Aurelia certainly does not
She would be so kind as to ask Fan to help Lily buy clothes. She thought about it and said, "Let's buy little Lily a weapon. If she inherits her mother's talent, she should learn it very quickly."
"Uh... what kind of weapon is it?" Van tried hard to see Aurelia's face clearly, but soon he discovered that Aurelia's cloak had been cast with hidden magic! Even in the face of this sunlight, it wouldn't
The shadow of science also obscures Aurelia's face... Although Fan has always been suspicious of Aurelia's identity, seeing that the person involved, Lily, didn't care, he couldn't say anything.
"A rapier." Aurelia noticed that Fan was observing him, but she did not show any displeasure or anger. After all, she was often looked at like this. "It is best to use a rapier that can be used as a magic weapon."
"Huh? A thin sword that can be used as a magic weapon?" Fan was dumbfounded - the so-called magic weapon refers to an instrument that can assist a magician in casting spells. Generally, magicians use magic books or staffs to cast spells with melee weapons.
It's not that there are none, Sophia is one of them. However, the material used in that kind of weapon must be a metal with good magic conductivity, and it also needs magic crystal as the core, so the price has always been on the high side, and because it is only needed by special groups of people
, so you generally need to find a blacksmith with the ability to make magic weapons to customize it.
Although it is easy to find a blacksmith who can make magic weapons in a large place like Blake, the cycle of making weapons is still quite long, taking at least one or two months. And the extra magic weapons that happen to be in the rapier type
The probability is simply extremely low...
"What? Isn't the money enough?" Aurelia took out a bag of gold coins from her arms and threw it into Fan's hand. However, Fan shook his head and said: "Blake is a country of knights after all, and the weapons used by magicians should not be
Will there be too much inventory?”
Aurelia thought for a while and suggested: "You can find out if there are any elves' shops in Blake City. There are many weapons in Bartlea that can be used as magic weapons."
The talent of elves for magic is indeed among the best in the entire continent. Even the elf rangers are good at magic. Most of the weapons made by elves are exquisite, gorgeous and artistic, and they are also good weapons that can be used as magic guides. However,
Because of excessive carvings and hollowing, elven weapons are much more fragile than dwarf weapons, and are just a showpiece for warriors.
However, the elves are in the westernmost part of the continent, and Blaino is in the eastern part of the continent... Even if Blake is the most prosperous city in the human kingdom, would the elves open their shops so far away?
Although he thought it was unlikely, Fan decided to look for it - if it was a store opened by elves, it would be quite famous in Blake, right?
Blake is divided into five major urban areas. The most central one is the royal palace area, which symbolizes the royal power. With the royal palace area as the center, the four main roads from the city gate to the royal palace divide the city into four areas. The northeastern area is the aristocratic area, and Fan is now in the aristocratic area.
In the outermost area of the southern part of the district, not long after leaving the hotel, you can see Blake's wide East Avenue. Perhaps it was because Vincent had just entered the city from the east gate. Many citizens were discussing on the East Avenue what they had just seen with their own eyes.
One of the three legends of Leno... Van even heard someone say that he touched the tail of Vincent's mount... What is there to boast about?
The southeast area is the church area. In addition to the Holy Light Church, there are more than a dozen churches of various sizes that have established altars here. Foreign mercenaries and merchants who pass by can come here to pray for blessings. However, the most popular ones here are actually
The local citizens of Blake, probably because the architectural styles of each church are different, but the environment is very beautiful, and you can see many foreigners, so most of the citizens of Blake regard this place as a leisure place like a park.
The southwest district is a civilian area and the most densely populated area. Most of Blake's population is concentrated here. Overall, the battle lines of Blaino and Carretta are in the north, and the nobles are in the northern district close to the front line.
The civilians are in the southern area far away from the battle line. If Carretta breaks through the defense line and attacks Carretta, the civilians can quickly leave through the south and west gates, while the nobles will resist Carretta for the glory of Blaeno.
Offense...of course this is just an ideal situation.
The northwest district is the commercial district that Fan Zheng is going to. There are many shops here, and countless merchants are doing business here, so this area is also extremely chaotic. It is said that there is an underground slave market in the northwest district, but it seems to be just a rumor.
Van could not imagine that a people who believed in the goddess of light would buy and sell slaves behind the scenes...but it is true that many Blaeno slaves appeared in the territories of other countries and races.
Sophia left more than thirty gold coins for herself, which should be enough to buy herself some new clothes and purchase enough spell-casting materials and magic items. As for the bag of gold coins that Yefut gave to herself, all of them were left for Lily to make weapons.
... Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s because of Sofia’s influence. Although I am a magician, I am still used to close combat, and the same is true for Lily... Is this considered a tradition of this line?
Fan tugged at the tattered mage robe on his body and decided to buy some clothes first. Originally, he was going to wear the new robe in Blaeno, but he gave it to Lily midway. Although Lily gave it back to him,
But it always feels a bit strange when I wear it again... Although you can go to the Magician's Guild to get another set of this kind of clothes, but if you get it again, it is not free, but you need to spend 20 silver coins to get it. With this
For twenty silver coins, you might as well buy a higher-end robe! After all, it is a standard robe. The fabric used and the magic patterns engraved on it are not high-end goods, but it can represent that you are an official mage recognized by the Magicians Guild.
That’s all.
Fan didn't know which store in Blake City sold magic robes, so he had to grab a mage who happened to be passing by and asked: "Excuse me, do you know which store sells magic robes and magic items nearby?"
The magician looked at Fan's tattered outfit, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There are quite a few shops selling magic items, and the best one is naturally 'Mrs. Lucy's Magic Book'.
The store is over there - did you see the huge metal book floating in the air? It's right there. But if you want to find a cheaper store, you can look for it in that area. Almost all of them sell magic.
Items. But generally the minimum charge is in silver coins..."
Fan Ziran knew that the magician in front of him was afraid that he could not afford to buy things, so he could only smile awkwardly and said: "I have been doing research in the field these days, so I made it so tattered..."
The magician suddenly understood and said with a smile: "It's really rare for you to go to the field for field investigation at such a young age - are you mainly studying biology or minerals? I heard that there have been some difficult monsters around Blake recently.
, you shouldn’t have met them, right?”
Fan thought of the undead owl before, slumped his shoulders and said, "We almost ran into it, but when I went there, the monster had already been taken care of by the mercenaries."
The magician smiled bitterly and said: "My mentor met with misfortune during the field investigation. You must be more careful! I heard that Dix has been recruiting magicians who can assist in the research of magic technology. You and I
It’s better to try your luck somewhere else than to take risks in the wild.”
"Maybe..." Fan's smile was a little stiff - he had just been kicked out of Dix by his mentor! After bidding farewell to the warm-hearted magician, Fan looked towards the sign of the metal magic book suspended in the sky.
