Chapter 168 The Gasping Next Door

Quicksand Ferry.

This is the intersection of the north-south boundary. The lake water from Daxue Mountain flows down. It is divided into two rivers, one in the south and one in the north. The center is a large delta area. This place once suffered severe soil erosion due to transitional reclamation and deforestation. The desertified land rushed into the surging river water, making the entire river look a little turbid and yellow. If it weren't for the druid's intervention, there might have been another terrible disaster like the "Yellow River Diversion" here.

At least in the geographical knowledge that Sauron remembered, the river water has been diverted to form a terrain similar to the "Eight Hundred Miles Liangshanpo".

This is the territory of the wise lizard man.

They are different from the small-scale lizard men in the wilderness. These creatures know how to build villages and build weapons. What protects them is a weak and divine power "Lizard Man God". Every once in a while, these lizard men will try to trade with nearby humans and use the found gems and gold coins to buy a large amount of food and food. Weapons are contraband. The nature of lizard men is fickle and cunning. Attacks on humans happen from time to time. Even the most greedy merchants dare not sell weapons to them on a large scale.

Large groups of lizard people are scattered in this water. They are amphibious creatures, and this is the most suitable place for them to live.

The people nearby believe in the God of Justice.

Within a radius of 150 kilometers centered on this delta, the law is stricter than other places, and even if it is a minor violation of the law, it may be punished. The priest of the God of Justice serves as a judge part-time position, and many of His believers become guards. People in the evil camp here will be rejected, just as the dark areas ridiculed the kind-hearted and regarded it as a kind of weakness. Each place has its own customs and rules. Without corresponding knowledge, you will soon encounter trouble.

Sauron's figure appeared near the Delta.

He took off his hood, and the fair guard believed that those who had hidden their heads and tails were prone to bad guys. This might attract more attention from them.

Compared with other cities, it is much cleaner. Even the buildings seem to be well organized. The God of Justice is a relatively good god. Although he is a god who is more inclined to be "sort and kind", he is not as extreme as other gods who are orderly and kind. However, his pastor is also famous for his deceit and has been trying to implement ideas similar to "a prince breaks the law and sins with the common people" for so many years. Unfortunately, this doctrine has always been strongly rejected by the nobles, and even the nobles here only compromise to the point of being punished.

For example, if a nobleman kills innocent civilians, he must make compensation or other punishments, and even reduce the deprivation of his identity.

But it won't be executed.

This place is a more kind-hearted place. Although there is a semi-slave system, if you execute slaves randomly, you will be fined, and slaves in other places are completely equivalent to private property. Slave system is common in this world, but it has strict requirements. Slaves have corresponding identity certificates and contract documents. The black market slave trade has always been an industry that paladins severely attacked.

Sauron planned to take a boat south from here.

This is the fastest way to get to the beach. It takes only one or two days to reach the Shipwreck Bay, which is close to the Soros Islands and is also very close to the City of Fortune. It was once called the "Treasure Bay". The main reason is that it once became the center point of trade with tropical jungle. Due to the special geographical environment, many ships filled with cargo and wealth fell nearby. It took a long time for humans to find a safe route there. Navigators in Shipwreck Bay are the hottest industries.

Soren has cleaned up the dark tide fishman there. This creature has found many undersea treasures, but unfortunately he rarely goes to land to move. [Note: Guarded by the undead.]

To deal with them, you must breathe potions underwater, and the battle is still in a swimming state. Soren is not suitable for this kind of battle, so he does not stay too much time.

[Underwater Battle] This expertise is really hard to master!

Soren paid fifteen Jindler's rewards, and then found a merchant ship heading south. The bottom cabin below was cargo. There were some high-end guest rooms at the top, and you could earn hundreds of Jindlers on one trip. These ships were owned by the Chamber of Commerce. The power of the guards was no worse than the caravan. When Soren went up, he saw more than twenty fleet guards. Among them, there were guard captains who were more than three levels. This kind of life was undoubtedly much easier than taking risks, and it could also bring a well-off life to the family.

There are almost no dangers on the river.

A few years ago, the lizard men attacked the ships, but unfortunately, the lizard men's patron saint is now in a deep sleep, and those dishonest guys are also much more restrained.

The best-class guest rooms that Sauron have been booked are well decorated on the top of the cabin.

A sailor led him to the door of the room and left, looking quite respectful. After all, the profession of wizard can scare people.

Because the ships sway when sailing, there are hammocks and fixed wooden beds here, and the tables and chairs are directly hit on the walls. Basically, most of the things are fixed, otherwise they will easily be damaged and fall off. Soren took off his wizard robe and took out a book to read. He bought some books when he passed by the city. The environment on the ship was not suitable for spell research. He didn't like to be stupid, so it would be better to read more books.

Knowledge will never be too much!

Soon, the merchant ship shook slightly. It should have already sailed south and is still sailing smoothly now, but some areas behind it are more troublesome. In this case, you cannot meditate and conduct spell research. Maybe a bumpy shaking will hurt you. Anything related to spells must be relatively focused.

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

Sauron hung his clothes on the wall, then sat by the bed reading a book. The door next door seemed to be opened, and it seemed that the guests living next to him were coming.

Bang!

A slight noise came, as if someone had hit the wall behind him.

During this period, Sauron's listening skills have improved a lot. He is very sensitive to some movements and stillness. Sometimes he can even judge what is happening outside based on his voice, whether his footsteps are fast or slow, how the walker is feeling, what kind of things he is doing, etc. The basic skills may not look very good, but the effect produced after accumulating little by little is amazing.

Sauron seemed to hear the gasp.

This made him frown slightly and put down the books in his hand. The sound next door was obviously a little louder, and there were also the woman's moans and the man's breathing. The wall slammed again, and the wooden bed fixed to the side of the wall should be the wooden bed next to the wall. The guest next door seemed to be too anxious, and he was just getting on the boat and preparing to go to bed.

The hull shook for a moment.

Then there was the woman's laughter and the man's slight pain cry, as if he had hit somewhere.

After a while, waves of creaking sounds and increasingly obvious rapid breathing sounded. This sound made Sauron frown. He really didn't like to hear such sounds.

Especially when he has been restraining himself for a long time.

A faint sound came.

"Ah!...Dear......... Are we going to get rich now...?"

"Squeak...squeak...huh...yeah...we're going to get rich...wait for the time being to bring this thing back!...Carin...Denner...The Countess...will be willing to buy it at a high price..."

The voice was a little weaker.

The words Sauron heard behind him were a little intermittent and could not hear clearly, as if he was saying: "That frivolous girl... I have always wanted to seduce Prince William... but unfortunately she is not very beautiful... She... I have always wanted to... Huh... This thing is said to enhance her charm... Her father is a wealthy businessman... I have mined a gold mine... She must be willing to pay a high price..."

The woman's moans were raised a little, and the creaking sound became rapid.

After a while.

The movement gradually became much smaller, and you could hear the man's exhausted voice saying, "Dear...why don't you try putting it on first?"

"No!...hehehe!...It is said that there is a curse...it's okay for us to sell it to her..."

"What do you care about so much!... As long as she is willing to pay!... It is said that in order to seduce Prince William... she has begun to try to use certain taboo methods to make herself more beautiful!... We will fly away when we get the money!"

Then the sound disappeared.

Soren couldn't help but stand up, walked a little, without any footsteps, and the other party seemed to have not noticed someone next door. The cabin rooms were separated by a thick wooden board, but in fact the sound insulation effect was very poor. A thoughtful expression appeared on Soren's face, and his expression seemed to be a little moved, because everything the other party mentioned seemed to represent something extraordinary.

Can it enhance the charm?

It seems that it is some special equipment. Did the person next door find one of them?

Sauron was a little itchy.

Extraordinary items are not that easy to make, and it is even rarer to improve attributes. Maybe the other party can find it a legendary item.

As for the curse above, it doesn't matter.

There are too many cursed equipment in this world, and any extraordinary items from the evil camp are cursed in the eyes of ordinary people.

I just don’t know how powerful the two people next door are. They will definitely not be ordinary civilians. Those who can get such equipment basically have the skills to do so.

Sauron opened the window and looked at the sky outside, and then quickly made up his mind.

He plans to act after dark.

Sauron was not a kind person. If he had an extraordinary piece of equipment beside him, he would have some thoughts in his heart.
