Chapter 1050: Black Earth Continent, Wizarding Society
When ready, the panda set off for the city of the Black Earth Continent.
It only took him two days to pass through several areas recognized by the crew of the Black Griffin as "dangerous areas" and arrive at a city called "Bluestone City".
When the city was originally built, a lot of blue stones were mined from the nearby mountains, hence the name.
But as time passed, the city got bigger and bigger, and the mountain that produced the blue stone was quickly exhausted. In today's Bluestone City, in addition to the old city where you can still see a lot of bluestone, you can't find much "real" feeling in other places.
Panda paid the city entry fee with ordinary coins and entered the city easily.
As soon as he entered the city, he felt a completely different atmosphere from that of the Wasteland Continent.
The cities in the Wasteland Continent are not much different from the cities in the Western Land World. They are just smaller in scale and relatively backward in facilities, which is probably the difference between a township and a town.
But the Black Earth Continent is different. The scale of the city is much larger, so naturally, there are many interesting things in the city.
For example, Panda has seen a lot of shop signs with potions, crystal balls, magic wands, or signs of fire, lightning, and skulls.
One or two is enough, so many, of course it can't be just accidental.
Panda watched for a while, then found a man on the street who was apparently a homeless person who seemed to have no money, and asked.
After inviting the man to eat and drink, the other party gave him a detailed introduction to the situation of Qingshi City.
This city belongs to the "White Coral Academy", an organization of white wizards. Those shops with strange signs on the signboards in the city are generally engaged in wizard-related products, and many of them are even a wizard apprentice or even a certain one. The wizarding industry.
This situation is not uncommon in the Black Earth Continent. White wizards pay attention to social order and do not exclude business behavior.
Of course, things are completely different if you enter an area dominated by dark wizards.
In those areas, other than inside the wizarding organization, wizard-related products can only be purchased in the underground black market. It is impossible for any ordinary shop to openly do this kind of business - no matter how powerful the backers are, they will not do it.
Not because of fear, but because of habit.
This is like no matter how strong a person is in martial arts, he will not just find someone to fight. This is true even if his backing is tough, because it is completely unnecessary.
Are you so busy? If you are in a hurry, go exercise!
Panda left the man a few gold coins as a reward, then left the hotel, found a shop with a sign of a medicine bottle, pushed the door and walked in.
The inside of the store looks no different from an ordinary store, with the same furnishings and the same clerk. The panda looked around for a while, but couldn't find even a single bottle of witchcraft potion.
He couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there a sign of a medicine bottle on your signboard? Why isn't there a bottle of medicine?"
The short, chubby clerk smiled and explained: "Witchcraft potions are generally not very stable. Except for a few kinds, most of the others need to be prepared as needed. If you need anything, you can leave a message first. I'll help you ask if it can be prepared. If so, let's talk about business."
Panda suddenly realized, thought for a while, and asked, "What kind of medicines are the best-selling medicines here?"
The clerk's smile suddenly became a bit wretched: "We have many best-selling products, but in terms of the best-selling products, the whole Qingshi City knows that the signature medicine of our 'Blue Pill' store is the 'Xiongfeng Pill'."
Panda asked curiously, "What is that thing used for?"
The clerk winked at him, and said in a deliberately low voice that was completely concealed: "Xiongfeng, of course, is the prestige of a man. Where does a man need medicine to strengthen his prestige? Of course not when hunting. ,right?"
Panda was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant.
Depend on! Isn't this the alien version of Viagra!
He couldn't help but smile a little awkwardly, and then asked, "This thing... can also be your best-selling product?"
"Of course! Master wizards have done a survey, and among adult men, about 1 in 10 cannot be hardened. As age increases, this proportion also increases greatly. Even normal men, most of them feel that My 'Xiongfeng' is not enough, I need to replenish it often or occasionally... Our 'Xiongfeng Pill' can be said to be a gift for men, except for a very few talented and rich men, other men, as long as they have the conditions, it is inevitable Some are needed."
"Need all?" Panda asked suspiciously.
"Who would think that he was too mighty on the bed?" the clerk asked back.
Panda thought about it and smiled.
"That's right. Then you're really rich!"
"Not to mention making a fortune, this thing is only a quasi-witchcraft medicine. The formula is easy to be reversed, and it is not difficult to manufacture. Our store has been operating this for a long time, and has accumulated a good reputation. There are many regular customers." The clerk smiled. Hehe said, "It's all for everyone to cheer on."
Panda nodded, and did not talk about this topic again, but asked about the situation of several other medicines, and finally bought some with money.
Interestingly, among these potions that are in stock because of their best-selling and can be purchased directly, the "Xiongfeng Pill" is the only one that can be purchased with gold coins.
"Can gold coins be used to buy witch medicine?" After learning that gold coins could be used to pay part of it, Panda was surprised again, "What's the use of gold coins?"
"When you are alive, you can't be short of money without anything. Magic stones are of course good things, but sometimes, gold coins are also good." The clerk said with a smile, "Besides, if you buy a lot of things, just use gold coins."
Panda nodded again, paid the bill, left with the potions, and found another shop with a wand sign.
This shop really sells magic wands, the kind of magic wands that store witchcraft and can be used several times or even a dozen times or more.
The owner of the shop is an official wizard, so the items in the shop are much higher-end than the "Blue Pills", and the price is also a lot more expensive.
Even so, when Panda said that he had a lot of gold coins but not many magic stones, the clerk hesitated for a while, and said that he could pay part of the purchase price with gold coins.
The same goes for the next few stores.
Panda strolled around the city, bought about a thousand magic stones plus seven or eight thousand gold coins, and then basically affirmed that there is no wasteland between the gold coins and the magic stones in the Black Earth Continent, or at least in the Bluestone City. The insurmountable moat of the mainland.
Sure enough, it is indeed a society of wizards. The connection between wizards and mortals is much closer than there!
