Chapter 584 Haunted Town

The horse exchange incident left the team in Sour Lake for several days.

Although you can just get on the horse and leave, there is no hurry now, so you can follow the Chamber of Commerce staff to adapt to the habits of New Horse.

There is a big difference between the cold land horses here and the southern horses.

In terms of body shape, cold horses are relatively fat, have fluffy appearance, have a lot of hair like ponies, have a slender face, and have obvious differences in the shape of the bridge of the nose. The head height is generally below 1.6 meters, and it is not resistant to riding, but it shows better endurance in traction work. The key point is that its soles of feet are larger than those of weight, and it is not easy to sink in the snow.

The southern horses are bigger, shorter hair and look more greasy, good riding performance, good traction, and relatively comprehensive, but the temperature drops to minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Of course, both types of horses have subdivided populations, and cold land horses also have selected types to form heavy cavalry.

There is another problem with moving northward in winter, horse supplies.

There is almost no need to consider this issue in the east and west lines of Leiming Country. Just go directly to the roadside to chew grass. It can pick the tender ones and chew them on its own, and only supplement some beans with high protein and oil content when passing by the city.

The environment to the north is much more severe. The Sour Lake can pass through the city several times to the north. When it approaches the Magic Well, it is basically a pure snow field.

The horse species evolved to cope with the situation of grasslandization in the ice age. I don’t know where the horses in this universe came from. From the perspective of body shape, they will also have the skills to find grass under the snow.

But eating grass roots under the snow will lose weight even if they are not loaded. Now, if you want to trail them, you cannot consider relying on the rhizomes under the snow.

It comes with its own silage...still unrealistic.

Horses belong to the Order of the Order, and all organisms of this purpose have no rumination ability and their utilization rate of forage nutrition is far less than that of cattle and sheep.

For example, the cold land horse I changed this time is obviously not big, but the trailer still needs to consume 20 to 30 kilograms of forage a day. This amount of food is calculated based on the walking speed of 40 to 50 kilometers a day.

If you slightly increase the speed or distance, you will have to kill a full truck of fodder in one day or at most two days, and you will obviously not have the ability to enter the unmanned land.

You still have to eat higher-end foods, beans... are too expensive, grass seeds can.

The Chamber of Commerce specially collects grass seeds to sell. Various grass seeds are mixed together, including round grains and spindle-shaped horses. If you eat 20 kilograms of forage, if you change it, you can last more than six kilograms of physical strength and endure, and the price is 40% cheaper than beans and grains.

These grass seeds have been dried and need to be careful to replenish the horse and also need to be regularly replenished with salt.

There is also a more advanced horse food, called "Horse Strong", which is made of inferior vegetable oil mixed with some seed coat, that is, bran.

According to Wang Qi's understanding, the calorific value per 100 grams is higher.

Foods are sorted by the calorie density per 100 grams, and there are obvious steps. The calories of fat/oil are around 900 calories, milk powder/jerky/sugar are 500 to 600 calories, flour and similar seed grinding foods and oil-containing beans are between 300 and 400.

The calorie value of the grass seeds without unshelled grass seeds is less than 150 calories. The oil-containing mixture of "Ma Jianqiang" may be around 400 calories, inferred from the oil ratio.

But the price is quite expensive. After understanding the situation, I decided to bring beans and grass seeds.

The soybeans here have not been genetically engineered yet, and the oil content is average, which also leads to lower calories, but at least they are stronger than grass seeds, and the gap with "horse strength" will not be too big.

After two days of tossing and starting from Sour Lake, the number of horses in the team increased to 26.

Since it is easy to get into a cycling in the unfamiliar snow in the no-man's land, there are no horses for riding among the 26 horses. In addition to the seven carriages brought by the team, two more were rented, and the dragging method was double.

The remaining 8 horses dragged four single-cart vans, loaded their food, leaving four resting horses.

Bai Xiaojiao is idle and sways in front or behind the team every day. As long as it can pass, the team will definitely pass.

The team followed the road and passed several cities in a twisty manner and arrived at the haunted town.

There will be no normal town called haunted towns, but there are many ghosts nearby, and they will be called that after a long time. It has been too long and no one even remembers what it was called before.

Wang Qi knew that he saw it at the Qingchunquan Library, the headquarters of the Mage Association, Annuo.

Like the name Annuo, the Mage Association has long disappeared from history and is now an illegal organization.

The haunted towns are both troubled by ghosts and are also preserved by providing supplies to adventurers heading to the North.

The arrival of Wang Qi's team caused a certain uproar. Compared with ordinary adventurers, this team of more than 20 horses seemed too big.

But no one is in trouble because this is a strong radiation area of ​​the Church of Light, and there is a service supply station for the Church of Light.

It's very special here. The Church of Light does not set up a church in a haunted town. I don't know if it's because the ghosts are not cleaned up or there are other problems.

The number of ghosts in haunted towns does not require the use of special abilities. They are even too numerous to directly affect the temperature of the area.

Like the ghosts that Wang Qi knew in exile, most ghosts were confused, not knowing to harm others, nor knowing how to communicate, but simply waiting for the moment of disappearance to come.

However, when the base is large enough and the density is high enough, the situation becomes different.

Unfortunately, humans, even for individual "bad" ghosts, are not excellent foods, and they would rather absorb other ghosts.

The main function of the service supply station established by the Church of Light here is to provide supplies to the teams that eliminate high-level ghosts, and it is said that it can also provide maintenance services for the god warriors.

It was a coincidence that Wang Qi and his group came and did not see the god warrior.

By the way, two of Bellange's maids stayed in the hotel on excuse and did not dare to run around. This situation provided some support for "they are not humans", but they were not yet finalized.

Considering that they might have some relationship with self-rescue that Wang Qi didn't know, Wang Qi didn't want to force them to death.

Haunted towns do not have a normal town industrial chain. They rely entirely on caravans to import materials from outside and transfer them to adventurers through various stores, so things will be more expensive.

The grass seeds for cold land horses are also 60% higher than those for Sour Lake.

In addition, there is a local characteristic industry, which is undoubtedly related to ghost products.

There are some differences in the view of ghosts and the exile.

The mage group in the exile land generally does not regard the ghost as a continuation of death. It is just a new thing formed by death and high concentration of magic.

In the main world, mages who hold this kind of concept belong to a minority group, but in haunted towns they are the majority. After all, mages who oppose ghost objectification cannot do anything here, so they can't come here to specifically magic and bombard.

The point is that even the church has acquiesced, and other monks cannot make any more noise.

Local mages will directly make spirits into puppet cores, sell things like magic crystals, and provide them with raw materials. This is the reason why most adventurers come here.

One of Wang Qi's purpose in coming here is also a ghost, but it is not a roadside goods that can be seen anywhere.

Before leaving, I visited some local ghost products stores. On the one hand, I inquire about the news from the north and on the other hand, I inquire about the prices.

The money Wang Qi brought out was limited and he spent every day. The money he could use after a cycle of delaying the time to go home was very limited. If it was delayed for some reason later, he might have to do some mage work to make money.

Local ghost raw materials are divided by level, which is a bit similar to the first, second and third rings of the mage, but the evaluation standards are different. Compared with magic, ghost's willpower is more weighted to the level.

Brief introduction: If a ghost is dispersed by the Three-ring Spiritual Impact Spell and can be reshaped, it is an advanced ghost, and if it cannot withstand it, it will naturally become a magic crystal.

Such a threshold is high enough to almost eliminate all individuals with poor magical talents during their lifetime, and even include many spiritual bodies formed after the death of the mage.

It may not be enough to calculate by a thousandth. It takes only two or three in the entire town a year, and most of them are booked in advance.

You can also go to the line, just spend more money. A raw high-end spirit, priced in St. Anthony's golden crown, costs 4,200, which is about 18 kilograms of gold.

It's expensive, I can find a way to get it together, and there are two problems.

One is that there is no spot in the local area, and depositing a deposit is not the entire town. It is just for the behavior of a single store. It is very common for a few years to wait for the extremely low chance of "giving treasures".

Another problem is that what Wang Qi wants is a high-spirited ghost. Most of this kind of ghost should be advanced ghosts, but most of the advanced ghosts cannot reach the level of intelligence required by Wang Qi.

It's better to find it yourself.
