Chapter 555: Reading Candle
This settlement is not big, and Sol didn’t take a few steps before he saw the people he saw before entering.
They were arranged to enter an underground passage. The chains under their feet were untied, but their eyes were still blindfolded.
This time he saw that the last person also had a hole in the sole of his foot.
The wound has healed for a long time, but there is still a dark red color on the sole of the foot, as if it had been bleeding not long ago.
Thor watched those people disappear into the tunnel without turning his head. "What are these people doing? Why did they come back from the outside covered in mud?" Kismet
still did not answer directly, only said: "This is normal here."
He turned to ask Sol: "Are you... here because of the rumors about quicksand termites?"
After hearing Kismet's understatement, Sol's heart sank.
Do many people know about quicksand termites?
Then how could he secretly move the entire ant nest back?
Wait, these words came out of Kismet's mouth...
Thor suddenly looked up, and sure enough he saw Kismet's eyes narrowed with laughter, "This is actually a scam. What appeared in the ancient forest of survivors was not quicksand. Termites, but humpbacked termites that look very similar but have completely different capabilities."
"A scam...a scam?" Thor stared at Kismet.
The smile on Kismet's face gradually disappeared, he pointed at his nose and puffed his face, "...Does it mean it's a scam, does it have to be me?" Thinking
about how he helped him in before, Sol finally took it back. looked suspiciously.
But he wanted to nod in his heart.
Kismet pulled Thor over and said, "Come on, what's the point of standing here? Although there are no quicksand termites here, there are many other good things."
Other good things?
Sol thought for a while and did not leave directly.
You need an introducer to enter this settlement, so there should be relatively rare and valuable witchcraft materials inside.
This is something that a traveling trader in Jiajiagu would hardly be able to collect for him.
It would also be good if a purchasing channel could be established here. It's just a little far away.
Thor followed Kismet through a narrow path.
There are many ordinary people here, but most of them look like vegetables and have thin bodies.
Occasionally, you can see wizard apprentices and a small number of formal wizards, but they all come and go in a hurry.
Thor observed and found that many wizards and apprentices were walking in the same direction as them.
Just because of the faster pace, everyone walked ahead of them.
In this way, following the intermittent flow of people, Saul followed Kismet to a bungalow that didn't look special on the outside.
It was only after entering that Saul discovered that the house actually extended diagonally downward.
When entering, Kismet also showed something. Obviously, a pass is also required to enter here.
The two walked down dozens of steps and arrived at the hall covered by layers of gauze curtains.
There were a lot of people looming behind the gauze curtain.
When a person passed them and hurriedly opened the gauze curtain and entered, Sol immediately felt a wave of heat coming out of the opened gap.
Like the tongue of fire in a furnace, it suddenly stretched out and burned his cheek.
"It's strange, and it smells a little familiar."
Kismet thought about it for a moment, "You may be familiar with this smell, but it's not the same thing at all."
After saying that, Kismet got in first.
Sol looked at the red and purple gauze curtains in front of him, and he always felt that this did not look like a place where witchcraft materials were exchanged.
"Isn't this here..." Sol suddenly thought of a place. He looked at the diary, and without any warning, he finally opened the gauze curtain and walked in on his own initiative.
As soon as he entered, Thor saw a large area of white flesh.
There are wizards and ordinary people here.
And ordinary people, both men and women, are covered with a thin layer of gauze. As you walk, the gauze sometimes lifts up, turning the secrecy into an unobstructed view.
They are all good-looking and well-proportioned. He has an appearance that ordinary people would envy when they see him.
Kismet actually brought him here? And you said this is a good place?
Well, it's not a bad place though.
However, shouldn't he take it so seriously?
At this time, a beautiful girl wearing a white gauze stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Two adults, please come in. Can I rest in the hall or go to the box?"
Saul looked at the beauty in front of him from head to toe, and then from head to toe. Aiming from the feet to the head.
Kismet didn't speak at all.
Thor looked back at him, "Are they all created by witchcraft?"
"Yes, they are all used for apprentices to practice when their lifespan is about to expire."
After hearing Kismet's words, the girl looked a little uneasy, but she still had a smile on her face. A perfectly angled smile.
It was as if her eyes and mouth did not belong to the same person at this moment.
Thor had just observed her carefully and determined that the other party was a woman whose biological age was less than thirty, but whose remaining life span was less than two years.
Probably except for her trembling eyes, everything about her body has been transformed.
Sol had no interest in it originally, and now he was even more in no mood.
"Do you sell other things here?"
The girl in white gauze quickly replied, "This is your first time here, and Banditing only sells one thing."
She took off a small cylinder from the belt on her back. Gently pinch the lid on the cylinder with your middle finger and thumb, then raise your arm to show Thor the contents.
"This is our only cargo, the Soul Reading Candle."
Sol did not immediately take the candle from the other party's hand, but scanned the hall again.
Only then did he realize that there was such an ordinary-looking candle in front of all the wizards and wizard apprentices in the hall.
Even if these people hold beautiful women in their arms, their thoughts are not on the love between men and women. They just stared blankly at the candles in front of them, taking deep breaths from time to time.
Looks intoxicated.
In such a crowded place, these wizards seemed completely defenseless and allowed themselves to enter a state of confusion.
Something is wrong!
Thor used the communication technique to ask Kismet, "Is this the essence of the scam you said?"
Kismet's eyes showed a smile, and he also used the communication technique to reply, "Clever. They are raised in the ancient forest of survivors. Phenotypic termites. When this type of termite bites, it secretes a special kind of formic acid, which paralyzes the person being bitten, but makes the person's mind very clear. They will clearly feel that they are being dismembered bit by bit, and then sent to the deepest part of the nest. The queen ant enjoys it."
"The great witch Monte here has found a way to detoxify the formic acid, dilute it, and finally solidify it to get a spiritual candle. The wizards and apprentices can absorb the candle incense to make their brains Reaching an extremely excited state. At this time, whether it is learning new witchcraft or deciphering obscure runes, it will be much easier than before. It can also help you briefly enhance the effect of meditation." Kismet used his
chin Scanning the whole place, "So there are many wizards and apprentices here who are stuck at a certain stage and have been unable to be promoted. They regard the Paradise as their last hope for promotion." "Of course," he shrugged
again , "It's just a bit expensive."
