She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 68: Before the country.

The large area in the eastern part of the mainland does not belong to this country, but it is not an independent duchy, nor is it under the rule of any nobleman. If you have to mention it, people generally just vaguely call it the “East Side”, or “the area ruled by the Dark Night God.”

Although people are generally accustomed to saying this, in fact, gods certainly do not directly rule a country or region like aristocrats. Therefore, the eastern region has always been in a state of complete disorder. For the average visitor, it is difficult to say which side will look worse than the southern part of the war.

But for residents who choose to live in the eastern region, disorder is not necessarily a bad thing. Without legal constraints, many things that should have been difficult will become particularly simple. In the eyes of many magicians and necromancers who are always accustomed to wandering on the edge of the law, it is too difficult to maintain compliance with the law, and it is even more difficult to maintain the moral bottom line. For them, it is more comfortable to live in the eastern region where there is no legal and moral restraint. However, if you want to pursue this kind of freedom, you usually have to have a certain amount of strength, otherwise, one day, you will die in the hands of other people who pursue freedom.

However, not all people living in the east are superior in strength. Although there is no law, there are more or less conventional rules. For example, usually no one will provoke the “crow” who wears a black robe and a mask. Killing in a pub or brothel. Such rules allow the three followers of the God of Night to live here, not only out of respect for the gods, but also to make the mage living here more comfortable.

In addition, some people who do not have much strength to live alone usually depend on some larger organizations. The members of these organizations are clearly marked and will choose to help each other even if they don’t know each other when they are in danger. Ants have their own survival rules. For members of these large organizations, as long as they live a little bit more carefully and don’t easily provoke dangerous people, it is not that difficult to survive in the east.

Although there are believers in the gods of the night and their dependent gods everywhere in the country, most people who aspire to become wizards or necromancers will choose to live in the east. According to them: “Under the rule of the **** of light The country seems a bit too bright.” They are still more accustomed to living in the dark. If someone can’t adapt to this kind of life, they can leave at any time. After all, they are completely free to go in and out of the east.

However, the ordinary people living in Wang Ji who abide by the laws and regulations do not want the monsters in the east to come in and out at will. There are kings and decrees here. No one can be allowed to bring the “freedom” of the east here. Fortunately, there is a river between Wangji and the eastern region as a boundary, which can completely separate the two sides. There is only one bridge over the entire river, and the king sent troops to guard here, allowing only law-abiding residents who have not been wanted or carried contraband to enter the country. As for those who want to leave the country and enter the east voluntarily, they can do it themselves. The king’s guards will not stop them, and they are not even interested in checking whether there is a wanted criminal inside.

There are many people coming and going on both sides every day. They wear black cloaks, cover their heads with hoods, try their best to hide their identity, and only put a pin on the chest of the cloak to show that they are not alone, but an organization. the member of. Although the vast majority of people passing by here seem to be a little sneaky, the proportion of wanted criminals is actually not very high, and more of them are ordinary businessmen. They reselled all kinds of daily necessities to the east, in exchange for some items made by magicians and brought them back. This type of business is very profitable, and it is completely worth taking the risk.

On this day, a tourist came to the border gate.

The young knight was riding a tall black horse, with a slender figure and a straight back. He learned the appearance of other people. He used a black cloak to cover his identity, but there was no pin on his chest like other people’s. The knight seemed to have tried very hard to imitate others, but no matter how he looked at it, his appearance was very different from other travelers going to the east.

Whenever such a unique newcomer appears on this road, all those passing by nearby will inevitably have to look twice and guess the identity of the passenger. Half of them regarded her as a dangerous person and should stay away, while the other half believed that she was a fat sheep that could be slaughtered. Maybe their ideas are not wrong. Sometimes, the two roles can be switched seamlessly. Whether it is a dangerous person or a fat sheep depends on the irritability of the new guest and the ability of the liar himself.

The new customer who appeared here today is of course Alice.

She took the letter from His Majesty the King and the beaded crown of the Duchess, put on her chain mail, filled her bag with gold coins, and spent five days from the capital to the eastern border gate. Before coming here, Alice only knew the east side only as Master Roma told her. She had tried her best to prepare and brought everything she thought needed. And in order to avoid some uncontrollable situations during the journey, she left her “awkward” in the stables of the Duchess of the Royal Capital.

It is not a very difficult task to persuade Cecilian to become a horse again and walk with her. Although he often complained that turning into a horse shape made him very uncomfortable, he always took the initiative to change his body shape whenever Alice needed it, and turned into the world’s most reliable mount “Circe” to save her from crisis. .

Alice thought she had made enough preparations for the trip, but after arriving here, she realized that her preparations were actually not enough. She temporarily bought a black cloak from a street vendor and put it on her body, barely matching her color with others, but other things… she couldn’t get it.

She stopped on the bridge on horseback, even she could feel it, everyone was watching her.

This made her feel weirdly nervous, but she didn’t have time to stay here, Alice still decided to clear the customs quickly, first enter the east side.

The bridge is not very wide, but there are a lot of people who have to cross the border. Alice led the horse forward, and a guy who also led the horse, who looked like a peddler, squeezed beside her to talk to her:

“First time to the east?”

Alice glanced at the man warily. She wanted to say no, but she also knew that she probably couldn’t hide her appearance.

“Ah… yes.”

“You can’t do it like this. If no one is carrying it, you will definitely be deceived.” The hawker looked kindly, “Although everyone says that everyone who just came to the east will be deceived three times, if It’s not the same if you can be accompanied by a professional guide. No matter where you want to go, just half a gold coin, I guarantee you a smooth journey and stay in the most comfortable hotel wherever you go. If you are satisfied with my guide , Give me half a gold coin when we part, that’s enough.”

Alice glanced at him again:

“I thought you were a hawker.”

“Of course I am a hawker. Anyway, in this world, who is not a hawker. I just use the information I know to earn a little extra hard money. Anyway, no matter where you go, I can sell me on the way. No delay in both aspects…what do you think?”

This guy is quite eloquent. Although it is a bit slick, it is not very annoying. Meeting in this kind of scene will even make people feel a little relieved. He actually didn’t need much money. The so-called half gold coin is five silver coins. For Alice, this is not a number that needs to be considered, and the services he provides are indeed what Alice needs— Up to now, she still didn’t know which direction the Frammel Mage Tower should go.

“Okay.” Alice said, “I might really need a guide.”

“You are such a happy person!” the hawker-like guide exclaimed, “It is so refreshing to deal with people like you…Looking at you, did you come to the east to enchant weapons?”

Alice carried such a large unenchanted giant sword on her back. It is not surprising to be guessed this way, so she agreed:

“Ah yes.”

“From this we can see that you are really an expert.” He said while giving a thumbs up. “The guys who sell enchanted weapons in the country are profiteers. As for the magicians…except for His Majesty the King and the Lords. There are a few decent ones around the lord, and the rest are just magic apprentices. A decent magician will never leave the east, absolutely not. If you go to the east to enchant it yourself, although it’s a little troublesome, you will definitely not be able to save it. Less money. The effect is not comparable to those of domestic apprentice shops.”

This guy has a big tone and a very interesting attitude. As you can imagine, walking with this guy will definitely not be boring.

“Do you have any recommendations?”

“It can be seen that you are testing me.” He chuckled, “If I tell you something messy, you must know immediately that I am a liar. To enchant weapons, of course you have to go to a regular mage tower. To the east is There are a lot of mage towers, and the most famous is of course the Flamel mage tower-everyone knows that the Flamel mage tower is the temple in the minds of the mage, in addition to the Viole mage tower and the night mage tower , The creators of these two places are all archmages independent from the Frammel Mage Tower, and the Mage Tower itself has a history of hundreds of years. The enchanting craftsmanship of these places is superb, but the price is really high, only Only big nobles like kings and princes or dukes and marquis can afford it.”

“What about other places?”

“You can be regarded as asking the right person. When it comes to the mage tower in the east, no one knows better than me.” He slapped his chest. “There are several mage towers not far from the gate of the country, although they are not comparable to the one above. In three places, the towers have been built for over a century, the enchanting level is excellent, the price is fair, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied.”

At this point in the conversation, they have crossed the bridge. The crowd dispersed in all directions, and Alice continued to follow the man. It was noon now, and it was a bit hot, and Alice lifted her hood and stroked her hair.

Her red hair was particularly conspicuous in the sun, and the guy beside her turned blue when she saw her red hair:

“Ah… I didn’t know you were from the Flamel family! Excuse me!”

After saying these few words, he immediately prepared to apply oil on the soles of his feet, but Alice grabbed the collar by his collar:

“Don’t go.” The girl smiled, she looked like a dangerous person, “I really need a guide to take me to the Frammel Mage Tower. Since you ran into it, you will lead the way. Don’t worry, say yes. I will pay half of the gold coin as agreed.”
