Chapter 184: Trip three

Tarun city. us
This is a city located on an island. The terrain around it is a bit like Sicily, with an area of ​​about 8,000 square kilometers and a total population of about 120,000. It belongs to the largest island in the southern coast. The terrain on the island is mostly hilly, the climate is warm and humid, and it is geographically a transit point for the southern route. It is rich in citrus, lemon and olive.
The first snow fell here when Stephen came.
After reaching near Talen City, Stephen changed his outfit and dressed up as an adventure traveler. Due to its proximity to the Black Bay, this island has a large number of active adventurers, and occasionally can see other wizards. The Black Bay is rich in squid and squid. There are giant squid activities here, and there are living fish species living along the coast. This ancient amphibious intelligent creature has not been able to give birth to a higher ethnic civilization because of incomplete evolution, but it is very active in many worlds due to its strong vitality and reproduction ability.
The symbol of Tarun is Obsidian.
There are many obsidian statues here, as well as obsidian repellents and amulets sold here. There are often profiteers who pretend to be wizards and sell amulets, or they boast that their amulets have been mysteriously blessed by wizards and can disperse and drink the ghosts of the undead.
For example, a guy swaying in front of Stephen.
This guy is called Bell, dressed in a dirty linen robe, and after seeing Steven's dress as an adventurer, he took the initiative to come up and said: "Hey! See if you are preparing for Devil's Eye Canyon?"
"Hear me. Don't rush."
"A lot of people like you have passed by recently, but many people have not been able to come back alive."
"It's a weird place. There are many things that can't be solved by force alone. I have to admit that you look strong, but many things are not afraid of swords. I suggest you prepare some amulets, you see, these are all After being blessed by a mysterious wizard, don’t be afraid to wear it even if you encounter ghosts."
After finishing speaking, Bell opened his shirt, revealing dozens of obsidian ornaments hanging inside.
"Magic Eye Canyon?" Stephen didn't look at the obsidian ornaments, but asked suspiciously.
Bell was surprised, and his expression was awkward: "Hey. Don’t you know, man? I thought you were a warrior hunting monsters!"
"Magic Eye Canyon."
"The name was only recently called by people. The place is very weird and spooky. In the past, no one was close, and now there are some monsters with huge eyes."
"In order to deal with them, the council of Tarun City rewarded 10 Kindlers with one eyeball."
The existence of demon hunters has always been known to ordinary people.
Compared with the rarer wizards, the monsters that appear occasionally are more often solved by demon hunters. They are a group of specially trained warriors who have some means to deal with monsters and spirits. The wizards are too cold. If it is not a valuable thing, they don't like contacting mortals at all.
Stephen threw out a gold coin, and then took an obsidian ornament and said: "Tell me about the Devil's Eye Canyon."
Bell caught Kindler at an alarming speed, then shook it with black and yellow teeth in his mouth: "No problem. As long as I wear my amulet, I don't have to worry even if I go to a more dangerous place. "
Stephen smiled disapprovingly. The obsidian ornament in his hand was an ordinary craft.
What a wizard blessing!
There is no spell fluctuation in this thing, and the workmanship is rough.
Soon, in the voice of the aboriginal chatter, Stephen figured out the general situation of Devil's Eye Canyon. This is a place where anomalies have only recently occurred, and some strange spoils have appeared inexplicably. At first, no one cared, but when the disgusting and dangerous monsters were conceived, the nobles of Tarun became a little panicked.
But what a pity!
Most of the wizard's energy is now attracted by the underwater realm, and there is no help for Taren City at this time. Only high prices can be sought for adventurers and demon hunters.
"How does it sound like it has been corrupted?" Stephen murmured secretly.
He shook off Bell next to him and wanted to sell a few more amulets, and walked directly towards the adventurer's tavern.
There is no mature adventure union system in this world. Most of the time, when something goes wrong, I would like to ask adventurers to help. The reason for this situation may be related to the sorcerer’s status being too high, and the ordinary adventurer’s lack of strength and low status.
Black Reef Tavern.
Stephen just pushed the door and was smelted by the smell of vomit inside. Most of the taverns are in a bad environment, and the one in front of him is not much better. His eyes swept inside, and he paused on a sturdy sailor wearing a scimitar dagger. These people had a pirate breath.
-"Charming humanity."
Stephen quickly found his target ~ EbookFREE.me ~ a man who looked a little frivolous and thin, an intelligence dealer in an aboriginal tavern.
He was not interested in answering the passwords with these mice, and directly threw a charmed human, and then said: "Tell me everything about the Devil's Eye Canyon. In addition, I need to know who controls the most obsidian veins in Tarun."
The man’s eyes were slightly dull, and he immediately said: "Magic Eye Canyon!"
"Oh! That ghost place! Three of my brothers died there! Damn!..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Focus on the point directly." Stephen quietly implied a hint of heart.
The spell of charming humans has limitations.
It's not really controlling the mind. In case of nagging, it may be chattered by the other party for a long time.
quickly.
More specific information was asked by Stephen. At the same time, he also knew that the three merchants who controlled the most obsidian minerals in Tarun. They were either from noble families or supported by local nobles, and almost controlled most of the obsidian output. .
"Go to the Devil's Eye Canyon first." Stephen immediately left the tavern when the information he wanted was available.
Those obsidian mines can't run, he is very interested in Devil's Eye Canyon now.
From the mouths of these aborigines, Stephen guessed that this place should be corrupted, and ordinary monsters might not be able to corrupt such a large area of ​​land.
Must be a level of evil!
So far, Stephen hasn't really encountered a monster-level enemy. The only thing that is close is the monster hidden deep underground in the Longcheng mining area. The strange mushroom forest is a special form of corrupted terrain. If it wasn’t for the undersea secret that attracted too many people’s attention, the situation here should soon attract the attention of the wizard.
