Because of Adier's promise, coupled with the reduction in the number of people in the team, the speed of the group's progress accelerated again.

A few hours later, Adier and others arrived at Ancient Armor City, and after paying some city entry taxes, they directly entered the city.

This place is more desolate than many cities I have been to before, and the buildings around are a bit scattered, and they don't seem to be organized very well.

In the surrounding corners, Adier also saw many ragged beggars, and even some motionless corpses.

It seems that few people come to this place to run business, and teams of dozens of people are rare.

After seeing them, beggars came to beg from time to time around, most of them were young children and disabled, looking very miserable.

"Is this place so messy?"

Seeing this scene, Adier couldn't help frowning.

Such things as beggars are of course inevitable. Even in Adier's previous life, the profession of beggars has not completely disappeared, let alone in this chaotic world.

But just after entering the city, it was surprising to see so many beggars, and even several frozen corpses that no one came to clean up.

"My lord, this place is like this." On the side, seeing the expression on Adier's face, a guide quickly walked over and said to Adil: "This place is bordered by the surrounding orcs, and there are wars almost every year, corpses and beggars very common."

"Most of those beggars are orphans whose parents died in the war, and soldiers who were disabled after going to war."

Listening to this, Adier nodded: "Take out the dry food and meat that were left before. We have fresh supplies in the city, and we don't need those things anymore."

Hearing Adier's order, the surrounding guards nodded in response, and quickly took out some dry food from the carriage with food and other supplies on one side, and gave it to the beggars who came to beg around.

After a while, under the guidance of the guide, Adier and others came to a local hotel.

It seems that there are few outsiders coming and going here. There are not many guests in the huge hotel, and the remaining rooms are enough to house the thirty or so people brought by Adil.

"I want to buy some properties in the city, do you have any suggestions?"

After arranging the guards he brought, in a spacious room, Adiel looked at the guide he had brought, and Elder asked.

"I don't know what property you want to buy, my lord?" Standing in front of Adier, the guide asked.

"A manor that is big enough to house hundreds of people, and some shops that are big enough to maintain daily operations," Adil said.

"Manors that can accommodate hundreds of people are basically properties of nobles. If you want to buy them, sir, according to the regulations of the ancient armor city, you must have a noble status."

Standing in place, after thinking for a while, the guide quickly said: "As for the shops, apart from the shops selling weapons and armor, other shops are easy to set up, as long as there are enough gold coins, and if there is no problem with the follow-up operation, my lord You can do it anytime."

"Very good." Hearing this, Adier nodded: "Today, you take people to inquire around, and come back tonight and tell me the situation."

"Yes." The people in front of them nodded, and after seeing that Adier had no other orders, they led them out.

After their figures disappeared from sight, Adier walked outside silently, looking at the scenery in the city.

"I didn't sense any magic particles. It seems that there are very few wizards in this city."

Looking into the distance, Adier thought lightly in his heart.

On the map, the Gumoduo Kingdom itself is close to a barren area, and the local wizard resources are very scarce. Although it is better than Adier's hometown, the number of spellcasters is also very small, and the knights are more.

"If you want to find other wizards in this city, you probably need to contact the city's lord."

Lowering his head, Adier thought to himself.

Wizards themselves belonged to the aristocratic class, and the ancestors of many great nobles were often wizards, and there were things about wizards handed down.

A nobleman with the status of the lord of a city will more or less come into contact with some wizards, and he should be more clear about the distribution of wizards in the city.

"Just right, if you want to investigate those mutant orcs, it will be much more convenient to use the power of the local forces, and after living in this city for a few years, I am afraid that you will inevitably deal with these local nobles."

Thinking of this, Adier turned around and returned to the hotel.

That night, Elder and the others returned to the hotel.

"My lord, we have already inquired about something."

Standing in front of Adier, several people looked at each other, and then Elder stood up and reported to Adier: "The situation in the ancient armor city is very bad, and many nobles in the city seem to have evacuated here. plan, so many properties have been sold.”

"We inquired about it. Just recently, there was a manor that met your request for sale. The owner is a local viscount who is about to evacuate, and the price is [-] gold coins."

Speaking of this, Elder hesitated for a while, and then said: "We discussed it. If you are not in a hurry, sir, you can wait for a while. As long as no one takes over after a while, the price of this manor will definitely drop. .”

Listening to his words, Adier's face was calm, without any emotion: "What about the shop?"

"The shops are easy." Elder said: "We took a look around, because the ancient armor city fought a battle with the orcs recently, the business everywhere is not very good, and there are people who want to sell. shop."

"My lord, if you want it, as long as you prepare enough gold coins, many people will be willing to sell it to you."

He said all this in one breath, and then silently retreated to the crowd at the back, returning to his previous taciturn appearance.

The next day, when the sun was shining on the earth, Adier led some people into the city.

He first came to the manor, and after some bargaining between Elder and others, he finally bought the manor at a price of seven thousand gold coins.

Then he came to the street and bought some shops.

On the one hand, this is to buy some property in the city, and on the other hand, it is also intended to be used to accommodate some of the family members of the subordinates so that they can have a stable job.

After all the things were done, it was already a month later.

·············

In the early morning, Adier was sitting in the spacious living room, holding a book in his hand, and was flipping through it quickly.

On the wooden table in front of him, there were still a large number of books, which seemed to have been read.

"Sure enough, it is extremely unlikely to find some knowledge about wizards from these collected books."

After quickly flipping through the book in his hand, and waiting for the chip to quickly transfer the knowledge to his mind, Adier opened his eyes and said with some disappointment.

In the wizarding world, there are often some ordinary people who inadvertently discover books that record wizard knowledge, and finally become a wizard apprentice.

After arriving in Ancient Armor City, in order to try his luck, Adier asked people to collect some books at a high price, hoping to find something about wizards from those books.

After more than half a month, in these books, Adier did see some records about wizards, but most of them were only vague descriptions, and there were few definite knowledge records. what effect.

"Forget it, although I haven't been able to find advanced knowledge about wizards, it would be nice to be able to enrich the chip database."

Standing up silently, Adier put down the book in his hand and said to himself.

Although the books in front of me do not involve the knowledge of wizards, after removing those useless poems, there is still a lot of mortal knowledge, which is also useful to Adier.

At this time, there was a rush of light footsteps outside.
