138 No Weapon
There were people coming and going on the streets, and he could hear all kinds of voices, shouts, and children playing. Compared to Fire Dragon City outside, this looked more like a normal city.
There was a world of difference between them.
At the same time, Fang Ping also saw a tall building. It was a Professionals Hall. Its appearance was similar to that of the team, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
It could be seen that there were many Professionals in the Fire Dragon Border Fortress.
!!
Fang Ping walked in and realized that the interior decor was similar. There was a high roof and a circle of murals on the ceiling.
The most prominent one was a middle-aged man riding a warhorse. He raised his sword high. Behind him was a group of people, men and women, old and young. They were all riding warhorses and raising their swords as they charged together.
What kind of war was this? Why did men, women, and children have to go to the battlefield together?
Fang Ping did not understand its history either. He stopped looking and walked inside.
There were four doors inside. Fang Ping walked straight toward the door with the cane engraved on it.
It had been a long time since they last met. He missed her so much.
There were only two rooms behind the door. One was an inauguration room with a crystal ball, and the other was a room that sold related items. There was no training ground.
The training ground was unique to the Silver Heron team?
Unknowingly, Fang Ping walked into the room that sold related materials. There were also many Skill Crystals displayed inside. Someone was holding an instrument and looking at the Skill Crystals one by one.
He put down the device and pointed three times. “Wrap these three Magic Armor Forbidden Spells for me. I have to study them carefully this time and raise them to Excellent-grade in one go!”
The person at the counter was overjoyed and quickly bowed to take it. He said obsequiously, “Captain Carrie’s comprehension ability is astonishing. It’s only been a month, but he’s already upgraded the Armor Forbidden Spell to Excellent. It’s spread throughout our Fire Dragon Frontier Fortress. I believe the upgrade of the Magic Armor Forbidden Spell is also very easy.”
“Hahaha, how much?”
“This Devil Armor Forbidden Spell costs 12,800 copper coins. Three will cost… 38,400 copper coins. In other words… 12 silver dragons and 24 bronze horns.”
“Thirteen silver dragons. Keep the change.”
“Thank you, Captain Carrie. Thank you, Captain Carrie!”
Watching him turn around and leave, Fang Ping recalled the Magic Armor Forbidden Spell he had bought from Silver Heron’s team. It seemed to cost a little more than ten thousand yuan. The price here was a little expensive.
Moreover, this Captain Carrie looked very rich. He didn’t want the change of a few hundred copper coins.
Compared to the Captain Hong he had encountered in Fire Dragon City, he did not even have enough armor on him. He only wore a breastplate.
The difference was too great.
That person accepted the thirteen silver dragons happily. He was in a good mood and asked Fang Ping, “What do you want to buy?”
“Ring of Healing and Holy Shock, do you have them?”
“No, these two skills are not common. Do you need a Magic Armor Forbidden Spell and Inspiration? Or a general-purpose random summoning spell is also a good choice.”
Fang Ping had learned both. He shook his head and said, “No need, thank you.”
He turned around and prepared to leave.
“Wait, don’t go!”
Fang Ping stopped in his tracks. “What’s wrong?”
“Do you want to learn Divine Shock? This skill is not common. It’s a rare Offense skill for Forbidden Spellcasters.”
“Then you have?”
“I don’t, but I know someone who does. It hasn’t been sold yet. Give me a little information fee and I’ll tell you who he is. But I can guarantee he has it. As for whether you can buy it, I’m not responsible.”
“Sure.”
“Hehe, this news is so easy to sell. I got another 200 copper coins. I wonder what medicine Cooke is selling in the water bag. He’s so generous.”
Fang Ping followed the information he paid for the two bronze horns. After making many turns, he finally found the place.
Cooke Restaurant.
Just like the Red Plum Wine Restaurant in Bick Town, people ate downstairs and lived upstairs.
Because it was not mealtime, there were not many people around.
As soon as he walked in, someone welcomed him. It was a rare fatty, like an adult version of Ivan.
“Welcome, welcome. Do you want to eat or live?”
“No, I’m here to see the owner of this place, Cooke.”
“That’s me. Where did you find me?”
“Professional Hall, I heard that you have the Divine Shock Skill Crystal.”
Fang Ping suddenly thought of something. He did not seem to have enough money.
Common skills, such as Armor Forbidden Spells, cost 1,000 copper coins. Rare healing skills cost as much as 30,000 copper coins. The price difference was 30 times.
Then the common Superior skill was three silver dragons. What about the rare ones? 30 times? 90 silver dragons?
When Fang Ping thought of this, he gulped. He had not thought too much about it just now. He really could not afford this thing.
It was a waste of the information fee of two copper horns.
Fang Ping was about to leave when he heard Cooke say, “I don’t plan to sell it for money. I want to exchange it for something else.”
Barter? Fang Ping stopped in his tracks and looked at him.
“There are some fish-type Magical Beasts in the Lava World. I heard that they taste extremely good, but no one has ever caught them. As long as you can bring a Magical Beast from the Lava World, I’ll give you the Divine Shock spell crystal.”
A foodie’s mission?
Fang Ping nodded immediately. “Okay.”
A mission worth 90 silver coins, almost one gold coin only needed a Magical Beast from him, and there was no level restriction? This was as good as giving it for free.
The Aurora Demon Wolf that Fang Ping and Chen Long had hunted together had only been sold for 80 silver dragons.
In other words, in the Lava World, even ordinary-level Magical Beasts were worth more than Excellent-level Aurora Demon Wolves.
Speaking of the Aurora Demon Wolf, Fang Ping still had the Skill Crystal of the Flash Grenade, the Excellent-grade skill he had obtained back then.
Previously, he had no concept of it. Now that he thought about it, it was probably not cheap.
However, looking at Chen Long’s identity now, he should not lack this bit of money.
“If you’re late and someone else replaces you first, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Cooke added.
“Sure.”
After leaving Cooke’s Restaurant, Fang Ping could not quite recognize the way back.
Fortunately, there was a tall Flame Tower in the middle of the Fire Dragon Border Fortress. With it as a reference point, he walked towards it.
Staring at the Flame Tower and walking through the alleys, the atmosphere in the Fire Dragon Border Fortress was much better than in Fire Dragon City. It looked normal.
There were people and shops. From time to time, one could hear some vendors shouting and selling. There were yellow melons, green vegetables, and not much meat.
It was very lively.
It would definitely feel good to have a girl by his side at this time.
Fang Ping walked down the alley. On both sides were grayish-white stone houses. Some of the walls had already been damaged and fallen off.
Walking in the narrow alley, the architectural style on both sides gave off the feeling of the Republic of China era. It was filled with the aura of history.
As he walked, he heard light footsteps behind him. There weren’t many pedestrians on such a remote path.
Turning around, it was a boy about the same age as Fang Ping. He was about 15 or 16 years old. He grinned and spread his hands to indicate that he did not have a weapon.
However, looking at his actions, he was not just passing by. Fang Ping asked, “Are you looking for me?”
“Are you a foreigner?”
Fang Ping nodded, still looking at him warily. It was not good behavior to be following behind him.
