Chapter 506: Visiting the Vampire (2)
The town of Nampland, located at the southwestern tip of the mainland, is a small town in the middle of an endless sea of forests.
The area of this forest is too large and too dangerous, and it is rumored that there are even giant pythons living in it, which even the dragons are afraid of, and even the tree elves dare not make their home here.
However, Lin Hai produced a lot of rare materials and minerals, which attracted many adventurers. The town of Puran is the last and deepest supply point for mortals in the forest.
As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, and the people of Pulan Town naturally meet this point.
The people here are fierce, the townspeople are all good at martial arts, and even many people are directly led by former adventurers to retire, and because of this, Pulan Town, a town with a resident population of only 10,000, can actually stand tall in the dangerous forest sea.
The town does not grow food crops, and mainly relies on the fruits that can be harvested throughout the year and the specialties of the forest to exchange necessities with the outside world, so there is no trace of farmland outside the town except for fruit-rich fruit trees.
The outermost layer of the town is constantly patrolled by guards, and the large dangerous creature settlements around it have been pulled out by adventurers, who only need to guard against small groups of beasts and evil creatures, such as newly revived skeleton zombies or goblins.
Passing through the outermost patrol and the town's walls more than two meters high, the town is in full swing.
As mentioned earlier, there are many rare materials such as wood, plants used to make potions, organs and furs of rare animals, and it is said that there are also bare, bare-handed Adamantite and Mithril Ore.
So there are a lot of merchants gathered here, and the adventurers are a group of people who have passed today and have no tomorrow, and they may die in an adventure at any time, and they are anxious to get rid of the spoils of war, so these merchants are useful, although it is very dangerous to cross the forest sea, but driven by the huge profits, there are still countless merchants who will stay here every day.
And the adventurers who get the money will not find a bank to save for their retirement, but squander it nearby, and the most frequented place is the bar.
The town has a famous bar called Oak Cup, where the owner is best at making fruit wine, and many people come to hear about it, and today it is the same, as soon as the bar opens, it is packed with adventurers.
Laughing, bragging, gulping down, and getting drunk. This is the leisure activity of adventurers, who need to numb themselves with alcohol to forget about the danger.
And today, a rare guy came to town.
There was a creaking noise from the bar's unmaintained door, and there were still some sober drunkards who followed the sound to see a guy in a silver-gray robe, hooded over his face, and with a crow standing on his shoulder.
It's a mage, and it's quite strong.
He walked up to the bar and said to the bar owner:
"A glass of wine."
At the same time, he found a dirty gold coin, which should have been snatched from the monster's hand, and threw it on the bar.
The boss didn't care what the appearance of the money was, he didn't need to be short of catties or two, so he found change and poured him a large glass of fragrant wine, and he actually gave this glass of wine to the crow on his shoulder.
This action displeased many of the drunkards, who had not drunk much, and they rolled up their sleeves, showing their strong muscles, intending to talk to him, and then their companions, who had not drunk too much, hurriedly grabbed him.
That's a mage! Even if people wash their feet with wine, they should be, do you dare to mess with him?
Mages, especially those who are particularly powerful among them, should never be provoked.
This is the consensus of adventurers, because you don't know what strange spells a mage will use against you.
Since he entered the bar, the adventurers who had been talking and laughing loudly had quieted down, and the atmosphere seemed to be very oppressive, and many people hurriedly finished their glasses and ran away.
There are very few mages in Puran Town, at most they come here to offer a reward, and that kind of mage is generally a mage apprentice, and real mages are not willing to come to this forest.
The terrain is too complex and easy to sneak up on, which is very bad for mages.
But think about it the other way, a mage who looks like a dick dares to run here alone, which shows that this is not just a dick that looks like a dick, but a real dick!
This person is naturally An Yizhi.
Sending away the goblins, he didn't let go of collecting loot, even though the valuable loot was nothing more than a few dirty gold coins.
When it comes to hard currency like gold coins, sometimes it's really fascinating.
It's all gold, but it can't be used. There are still a lot of gold coins in the copy of The Elder Scrolls, but this copy world doesn't accept it at all, why is there such a big gap when it's all gold......
It is estimated that this copy is the one with the existence of the Star Tower, because An Yizhi found the head of the goddess of commerce Wokin on the gold coin, and this kind of gold coin will only be circulated in this copy.
Ann Yizhi, who rode to the town on a phantom horse, walked around the town several times, and places like weapon shops and other places went to see it first, but as a result, it was very frustrating.
But it's also right to think that there can't be anything too good to sell in such a small town, unless it's a big city with a large population. This made An Yizhi regret it a little, he knew that he should have chosen another road, and it was estimated that it might lead to a big city.
Walking around the town and not finding anything noteworthy, An Yizhi had to try his luck at the bar, hoping to find some quest here, he didn't expect his mage aura to be so strong, and a group of frightened adventurers didn't dare to come out.
Overall, Ann felt that there was no need to explore the town, but Hela was more satisfied, mainly because the bar owner had good wines.
He wondered if he should leave the town and go to the nearest big city.
At this moment, everyone heard a rush of footsteps, and then the noise of pushing open the door broke the oppressive atmosphere, and an old man with gray hair stood there:
"Do any of you know how to heal?"
The adventurers, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads one after another.
There is no temple in the town of Puran, and priest adventurers are rarer than mages, and injuries either rely on hard resistance or find a herbalist doctor, and whether they can survive depends on luck.
"I'll give you 150 gold coins!"
The purchasing power of 150 gold coins seems to be very high, and there is a little commotion among the adventurers, but there is no porcelain work without diamonds, and it is not in a bad sight.
β200οΌβ
The old man shouted at the end, and when he saw the adventurers bowing their heads and drinking one by one, he knew that he was running in vain, and was about to close the door and leave, when someone replied:
"I will."
He fixed his eyes and saw that it was a mage who spoke.
There is actually a very simple criterion for identifying the strength of an adventurer, an adventurer with a tattered appearance is not necessarily weak, but a guy with a bright appearance and no friends with good equipment will definitely not be weak!
He saw An Yi pointing to the silver-gray robe that looked like metal, and then looked at the half-moon-shaped staff in the other party's hand, although the mage was a bit unreliable to heal, but he was the only choice for the old man.
ββββββββββ
The old man's name was Philip, and he was a servant of the mayor's house, and after An Yizhi expressed his willingness to take on the task, he hurriedly took him to the mayor's house.
To this end, he also prepared a one-horse carriage, and he galloped along the way, shouting for people to give way while driving the horse.
It seems really urgent.
"Phewβ"
Not long after, they came to the mayor's house, and the old man asked An to get out of the car.
"The wounded are inside, and they are dying."
After speaking, he walked in with An Yizhi, and An Yizhi originally wanted to ask what was going on, but looking at this posture, it was really life-threatening.
Zhenzhang's house is a very spacious two-story building, and there is a small courtyard behind the door.
After entering the door, An Yiyi saw a middle-aged man in his fifties pacing anxiously back and forth in the courtyard.
"Master, I've found an adventurer who can heal."
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man suddenly became energetic, and he didn't care that An Yizhi was not a priest at all, it was like seeing a great savior.
"What do you call this mage?"
"Ann Finger ......"
"Mr. An, please go this way."
An Yizhi felt like a marionette, and since he got into the carriage, he had been led along the way.
This time, too, the middle-aged man grabbed An Yizhi, and before he even had time to say a few words, he almost trotted all the way.
Entering the house, turning left and right, An pointed to the window room on the second floor, where he saw a teenage girl lying on the bed, her face pale.
"Please save my daughter, no matter how much money I am willing to pay."
"Tell me what's wrong with her?"
An Yizhi thought that someone was seriously injured and bleeding, so he urgently asked for a healing technique to stop the bleeding, but the girl in front of him had no obvious superficial injuries, except that she was pale and in a coma, and there was no problem at all.
"Yes, you're right, I'm in too much of a hurry."
The middle-aged man slowed down and said:
"When I woke up this morning, I found that my daughter didn't get up, and at first I thought it was because she was snoozing and didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went on, I realized that something was not right, and when I opened the door, I found that my daughter was unconscious."
"Does she have any chronic diseases?"
"No, the little girl is very healthy."
If there is no disease, it is likely to be a curse or a toxin.
An Yiyi touched the kind of jade bracelet that had been left for Endymion, and when he stayed in the girl's hand, the jade bracelet instantly turned black and shattered.
"Master Mage!"
"Shhhhh
"Curse, curse?"
An Yizhi thought for a moment and asked:
"Do you have any enemies?"
"No, I'm sure."
The mayor of the town has a good reputation in the town, and he is easy-going, so it is impossible to have a grudge against anyone.
"Master Mage, can you undo the curse?"
"Don't worry, let me check what's going on."
The curse on the girl's body is very strong, and although it is not a big problem to unravel, it is impossible to say if there is anything else besides the curse.
"Hela, take a look with arcane vision."
"Hmm."
Hela's eyes lit up with a glow, and soon she pointed at Ann and said:
"This girl has a lot of negative energy on her body, like it is left by an undead creature, and there are also toxins."
"Undead? No way, they shouldn't be able to get into the city. β
Ignoring the startled mayor, An Yizhi asked:
"Can you tell what kind of toxin it is?"
"It's like a toxin that can transform people into undead creatures, but it's too specific and requires experts who are specialized in herbology."
An Yi pointed to the mayor, who understood:
"There's one in town, I'll send someone to invite me right away."
The problem of toxins is relatively easy to solve, and all that remains is curses and negative energy.
