Chapter 68
When Horn and Enoch returned to the hotel, it was already dark.
Ian Parker and the others who bought other supplies have also returned long ago.
They bought too many things and relied on the original two carriages that might not be able to load them, so they would have to buy a carriage to travel. After living for only one day, the witches felt the malice of Maman City, and their wallets would cry if they stayed any longer.
In fact, Horn's wallet was already crying, and if it wasn't for Enoch's help, he wouldn't even be able to buy these things back.
The owner of the blacksmith shop only charged Horn ten gold coins, but it still made him feel heartbroken. Ten gold coins are enough for him to spend a long time.
You must know that the wooden sword he made for little Arya was only a few copper coins, and a gold coin was worth hundreds of copper coins.
However, the bulk of Horn's spending was not with the blacksmith shop owner, but the purchase of a fist-sized thunder silver.
This piece of thunder silver cost Horn more than 20 gold coins.
Speaking of gold coins, Ceylon's gold coins are only slightly larger than the thumbnail and very thin, so they are relatively easy to carry.
However, it is still difficult to use if the quantity is large, so many big merchants will handle deposits and withdrawals at the Church of the God of Wealth.
This kind of business requires a ceremony in the church of the God of Wealth, which will imprint a divine mark on the client's hand.
Those who have this information imprinted on their hands can store the gold coins in the Church of the God of Wealth and take them out when needed.
Wild witches like Horn never dared to brand them. When they branded their divine power marks, they might be discovered by the Church of the God of Wealth as witches.
Moreover, the price of this kind of branding is very expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary civilians.
Because of this business, the God of Wealth is the only church that has a branch in the main city of all the gods' churches.
Even the powerful Church of the Holy Light only has a few strongholds in the Eastern Continent.
At night, everyone meditated, rested and rested, and set off only after Horn went to the blacksmith's shop to retrieve the shield the next day.
At the door of Horn's room, Ian Parker beckoned Horn to come out and have a chat with him alone.
A helpless expression appeared on Horn's face, he now had a slight fear of Ian Parker calling him out in the middle of the night,
Last time I asked him to go out in the middle of the night, there was a tragedy in that small village, so nothing will happen again tonight.
But Horn thought too much, this time Ian Parker didn't say any strange topics, and didn't let Horn go to strange places with him, but told Horn what he found shopping around today,
He found a lot of witches in Maman City along the way!
The quantity is very special!
Even so much that Ian Parker felt a little unreal!
Although many witches hide deeply, this kind of hiding has no great effect on Yi'an.
He can judge whether it is a witch by a little trace, and most witches cannot escape his perception.
So he came to ask Horn what to do.
Horn thought for a long time, and decided that it is better to keep this place as it is. They still take going to the land abandoned by the gods as their main purpose, and the sooner they arrive at the land abandoned by the gods, the sooner they can let go of their hearts.
Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight entered Maman City, Horn and the others had already packed their bags and were ready to set off.
The little boy and the proprietress were reluctant to watch Horn and his party leave. They might not have any guests for a long time after they left.
Everyone went to the trade area first, bought a carriage and put all the gifts on the carriage, went to Uncle Short's blacksmith's shop to pick up the North Wind Sacred Artifact, and left Maman City.
The boss wrote down all the materials on paper, making Horn feel that the price of ten gold coins was worth it.
After walking for half a day, they found that the atmosphere on this side of the God of Wealth Parish was very different from that on the opposite side of Maman City, as if they were about to face a war.
Every village and every small town I passed by maintained a state of martial law, and groups of wealth knights passed by from time to time.
This atmosphere made Horn and the others uneasy, so they learned the whole story after inquiring in a village.
It turned out that it was summer, and it was the time when the elves in the Black Forest were very likely to launch a war. At this time of year, the east side of Maman City had to prepare for war.
Not only the Church of the God of Wealth, but also the surrounding churches of the Black-clothed Forest are on strict guard against the Black-clothed Forest during this season.
The current Elf King of the Black Forest is a person with a very strong desire to expand, and almost every two or three summers will launch wars abroad.
Over the past few hundred years, the area of the Black Forest has nearly doubled in size.
Wherever the power of the elves rises, the black forest will expand! And in the black forest, almost no church can compete with the elves!
Fortunately, the elves only come out of the black-clothed forest in summer. In the spring when everything is revived, the elves hide in the deep forest and feel that everything is reborn, and they are not in the mood to come out to make trouble.
And in autumn and winter, the elves with everything outside are unwilling to go out for a walk.
Only in summer they will be vigorous and fighting everywhere.
Therefore, it is impossible for someone to go to the Shiwu Swamp through the Black Forest in summer!
At this time, in the past, not only had to pass through the human line of defense, but also might be buried under the tree by the elves as fertilizer.
The wild witches looked at each other in blank dismay, which meant that it was a thankless task for them to go to the black forest now.
It would be more appropriate for them to live nearby for a month or so before setting off. Summer will be over in two months, and if they set off at that time, counting the one month or so on the road, it will be just in time for the opening of the Black Cloaked Forest.
Hundreds of years of fighting have made the elves and humans form a strange tacit understanding. In summer, they can't wait to beat out the other's dog's brains, but once it comes to autumn, they become like strangers again, which is very strange.
...
On the head of Ma Mancheng, Ilya stood bleakly, his face was full of dismay and he said in a low voice.
Why did you leave...I haven't looked for you yet!
Little Alia held a thick roast leg of lamb in her hand, and her little face was covered with oil, she squinted at Ilia.
Tell you to keep an eye on you and quit, insist on going to Old Man Ji's place for a drink...
Elijah frowned and said:
It seems to be the fault of the two of us together, don't you just care about eating?
Little Arya rolled her eyes and said, It's shameful, you, an adult, care about me, a little girl... Hey! Look at them coming back!
Hearing what little Arya said, Ilya looked into the distance.
I saw three carriages slowly driving towards Maman City, it was Horn and his party!
