A quarter of an hour later, Ruian finally entered the city.
When he crossed the city gate, Ruian saw the thickness of the city wall, which was about four or five meters thick. Looking at the edge town that built such a thick wall, Ruian couldn't help but sigh.
There were not many soldiers at the city gate, and people were not strictly checked when entering or leaving. People were let in without much inspection. The role of the city guards seemed to be just to maintain order when too many people came in and out.
Ruian looked up at the city wall, and there seemed to be not many soldiers standing guard.
It seems that the army in the edge town does not seem to worry about spies and the like sneaking in. It is correct to think that in a place like the edge town, the only enemy is Warcraft, and there is really no need to be too defensive against humans.
Ruian looked at the streets. The streets were connected in all directions. It seemed that the houses on the streets were well planned.
The houses here are very distinctive. They are all made of large stones. It is estimated that these stones are sourced locally. The style of the houses is similar to that of Kata City where Ruian lived. I would like to see the architecture of the Principality of Purs
The characteristics are all like this.
There are many people on the street, people coming and going. There are shops on both sides of the street, which is very lively. At a glance, you can recognize the hotels, restaurants, blacksmith shops, and several Ruian shops that you can’t recognize from the outside.
.On the main street facing the city gate, Ruian did not find those small traders setting up street stalls. I guess these people are not allowed to sell on this street. Based on Ruian's experience, it is estimated that these small traders and hawkers are all concentrated in one place.
Local hawking.
Unlike other cities, there are a lot of soldiers patrolling back and forth in the edge town. Teams are constantly walking back and forth, and the security seems to be very good. The security control here is very strict. Ruian remembered from the books before
According to records, marginal towns will impose curfews at special times from time to time.
Ruian walked for a while and after getting to know the edge town a little bit, he didn't want to walk any further. He was really tired and needed to find a hotel to rest.
It was very easy. Ruian walked a few steps and saw a hotel.
It is understood that hotels are the most numerous buildings in edge towns. Presumably, more than 100,000 foreign mercenaries are pouring into the town. How many hotels are needed to provide them with accommodation?
Ruian randomly booked the cheapest room and fell asleep. Sitting in a carriage for four or five days was much more tiring than practicing non-stop for four or five days.
Early the next morning, Ruian was in high spirits again. He only had two months of vacation, so he had to race against time. However, Ruian couldn't go out to hunt World of Warcraft right away today, and he still had to make some preparations.
The first place Ryan went to was the pharmacy to buy some necessary medicines.
Medicine is something that every mercenary who goes to hunt Warcraft must prepare. Because hunting Warcraft is a very dangerous task, not to mention injury, even death is very common.
Ruian learned from books that almost one to two tenths of the mercenaries who came to hunt World of Warcraft died every year. Even so, the huge profits brought by hunting World of Warcraft made all mercenaries flock to it regardless of the danger to their lives.
.
Of course, not everyone comes here for money. Hunting World of Warcraft can exercise one's strength and prove one's strength. There are also many people who come to hunt World of Warcraft to train themselves. These people call this behavior
Trial.
Walking out of the hotel door, Ruian found many pharmacies.
The pharmacies in this world are similar to the pharmacies in Ruian's previous life, but there are very few types of medicines. There are only one or two medicines that can treat almost every kind of injury.
Ryan previously learned that the most powerful profession in the world for healing injuries is the priest, a profession similar to a magician. You can use some healing magic to quickly heal wounds and get rid of pain. However, the number of priests is extremely rare.
It is much rarer than the already rare magicians, and priests are generally religious people who usually stay in strict churches. Therefore, it is very difficult for ordinary people to hire priests to treat injuries and illnesses. At the same time, it is impossible for priests to
Unrestrained use of healing magic.
Therefore, basically everyone will seek treatment from a doctor if they encounter any injury. The profession of doctor is similar to the doctor in Ruian's previous life. The difference is that the number of doctors is very small, and the treatment method is single, basically using medicine.
Almost all medicines in this world are made from herbal medicines. Generally, doctors will select suitable tree species and herbal medicines according to the patient's injuries and illnesses, make them into pills, or grind them into powder and give them to the patients. As for
No matter how effective the medicine is, it is generally effective. Of course, there are many times when it is ineffective. At this time, it is necessary to switch to other herbs until the cure is achieved.
It is precisely because doctors use pills and powders to treat injuries and illnesses that common injuries are treated with fixed pills and powders, which also leads to the emergence of pharmacies that specialize in selling pills and powders. These pharmacies are doing very well, and most people encounter
When suffering from injuries, people will choose to buy medicines from pharmacies for treatment instead of seeing a doctor, because there are too few doctors and they cost too much money.
Now Ryan had a lot of time, so he visited a few more pharmacies and compared the prices of the medicines. Soon he was disappointed to find that the prices of the medicines were almost the same.
Ruian also discovered that pharmacies are very good at doing business. Considering the needs of the mercenaries, they package and sell several types of medicines for treating injuries.
This saved Ruian a lot of trouble. Originally, he was worried about missing something because he didn't understand the medicine.
In addition, Ruian also bought some medicines to treat illnesses, as well as medicines with detoxification, detoxification and other functions. In short, Ruian would buy one or two kinds of medicines as spares if he wanted to get the effects he wanted.
In Ruian's heart, the money must be spent, otherwise if there is an accident and there is no medicine to cure it, he will regret it.
Finally, Ruian suddenly felt something in his heart and asked the store clerk if he had any poison or other drugs for sale.
Then, under the noncommittal expression of the store clerk, Ruian gave the other party 20 silver coins in a reasonable manner. Finally, he got his wish and bought a small bag of poison from the store clerk at a high price. It is said that this small bag of poison is enough to poison dozens of monsters. Naturally,
, enough to poison dozens of people.
Ruian found it very inconvenient to carry a large bag of medicine. In this world, luggage and other things are packed in bags and then carried by hand or tied diagonally behind the back. It is very inconvenient to take them in and out.
So Ruian decided to find a tailor shop to make what he needed.
In edge towns, there are not many tailor shops. Mercenaries generally don't pay attention to dressing and often wear one set of clothes for a long time, so the business of tailor shops is not very good.
Ruian found a tailor shop and explained his requirements to the tailor in the shop, and the tailor quickly sewed it.
Since the furs of World of Warcraft or wild beasts are the most abundant in the edge town, and the prices are very cheap, the few things Ryan wants are made of the furs of wild beasts.
Ruian first asked a tailor to sew a backpack. The style of the backpack was similar to Ruian's backpack in his previous life. It was worn with two belts and could be carried on both shoulders. The only difference was that this backpack was very close to the back. If it was worn under a coat,
, if others don’t pay attention, they still can’t see it.
Ryan then asked a tailor to sew a long belt and connect it to the crossbow, so that the crossbow could be hung under his ribs without affecting its movement when not in use. Once it was time to use it, he could pick it up and shoot immediately, which was very convenient.
Ryan also asked the tailor to sew several hidden pockets inside some of the clothes he wore so that he could place some precious things, such as the magic storage bag that he had never been able to open.
Finally, Ryan also bought a pair of leather gloves and a pair of leather boots at a tailor shop.
After coming out of the tailor shop, Ruian walked on the street and noticed mercenaries coming and going. Many of them were carrying shields of various styles, large and small.
Suddenly, Ruian began to think carefully.
The weapon Ruian used was a sword stick. This new type of self-made weapon, when fighting with people, because no one has seen it before, its power is greatly increased by surprise. In the past, Ruian could defeat those mercenaries by going up several levels.
Rely on this unexpected effect.
But now we are facing Warcraft, and Warcraft will not care whether the sword stick has been seen before. In this case, the power of the sword stick will naturally be greatly reduced. Moreover, the sword stick basically requires both hands to be used, which will cause Ryan's defense
His abilities are greatly reduced and he is very easily harmed by monsters.
The standard equipment of mercenaries is still practical. A shield is held in the left hand, which can resist the attacks of monsters, and a sword is held in the right hand, which can deliver a fatal blow at any time.
Therefore, Ryan decided not to use swords and sticks when hunting monsters, but to use shields and heavy swords instead.
This time, another expenditure is required.
Next, Ruian visited many blacksmiths to see which one had better blacksmithing skills and whose weapons were cheaper. Instead of going to those large blacksmiths, Ruian looked for small blacksmiths who were in remote locations and had a lackluster business.
shop, because the weapons and equipment sold by those small blacksmith shops will be cheaper.
With Ruian's blacksmithing skills, although he can't make very good weapons, he is still very good at distinguishing which weapons are better.
Soon, Ruian chose the one with the best blacksmithing skills from the several small blacksmith shops he visited. He then selected a medium-sized shield and a very sharp and appropriately weighted heavy sword.
In the end, Ruian thought about it, gritted his teeth, and bought another half-length soft armor, which he put on top of his chain armor, hoping to better protect himself. Having experienced death once, Ruian cherished life more than most people and was more afraid of death.
.
At this point, the weapons and equipment had cost almost all of Ruian's net worth. This was the result of Ruian bargaining with the shop owner for a long time and selling the small shield to the blacksmith shop.
The money was almost spent, and Ruian was making a desperate move. If there was no harvest from hunting the monsters this time, Ruian would be completely bankrupt and there would be no place to cry.
