Glacier City.
Søren strolled through this strange northern city. He didn't know if it was because it was close to the river and the sea, but there was often a faint fishy smell in the northern city. Amber City was also a city close to the river, but it was obviously not as bad as Glacier City. Søren could smell the fishy smell in the air as he walked on the street. This was a transit city in the Frost Kingdom. Because of the cold climate, food rotted slowly. Most of the meat in the north came from transported fish and seafood.
It was a paradise for seafood gourmets. You could buy crabs the size of a porcelain bowl here for five copper Derahls.
However, it seemed that humans in this era did not like seafood very much because there was not enough seasoning to remove the fishy smell. Many nutritious seafood fish were eaten by the lower class of civilians. There were many poisonous seafood. Although it was not fatal, it was easy to get sick or even lose your life if you ate too much of it. The staple food of the Frost Kingdom was still more than ten kinds of fish. Søren even bought a very ferocious king crab the size of a washbasin for three silver Derahls.
This could be temporarily stored in the multi-dimensional bag, and a section could be cut off and roasted on the fire.
Søren replenished a lot of supplies. In addition to his own weapons and equipment, he also needed to replenish some food. It was about two or three days away from Arendelle, and it was a northern city closer to the sea. Søren's figure was more conspicuous among the northerners. From time to time, some people looked at him with bad intentions, but after seeing the curved sword at his waist, they withdrew their gaze. People from all walks of life were the most sensitive. People with bad eyesight would not live long.
Søren did not look like a foreigner who was easy to bully!
Bows and crossbows were not often used in the north because of the climate. The cold climate would affect the bowstring, but iron products here were relatively developed. Warriors with shields and short swords equipped with spears and javelins could be seen here. The northerners were quite good at throwing javelins, and some of them could directly break the defense of heavy armored warriors. Søren's weapons also included 60-centimeter-long javelins. He had prepared a total of five short javelins, which were good for dealing with large beasts, including subspecies of dragons.
Wizards had secret spell shops all over the world. The most common spell scrolls here were ice spells from the evocation system.
Søren bought the scrolls for Featherfall, Levitation, Flight, and so on. In total, he spent about 1,600 Kindler's coins, which was more than half of the gems he sold. Flight wasn't something that could be mastered directly. Learning the prerequisite spells could increase the efficiency of learning Flight.
Søren didn't stay in the city for too long.
After completing the necessary supplies, he headed towards the wilderness. He had accumulated quite a lot of Slaughter EXP, and if he killed three to five more Bugbears, he would be able to level up again. The profession level of a Rogue increased in a straight line from level 9. After level 14, it would reach more than 100,000 Slaughter EXP. A purebred profession without a part-time profession would also need more than 2 million Slaughter EXP to reach the level of a legendary profession.
So Søren's priority now was to level up as a Wizard and maximize the use of Slaughter EXP as much as possible!
The Wizard profession level increased in a straight line after level 9. Not counting the Slaughter EXP needed for part-time professions, it could reach tens of thousands. Wizards above level 14 needed more than 200,000 Slaughter EXP to level up. So the number of high-grade Wizards had been very rare until now. Unless it was someone with amazing talent, it would take dozens of years for others to enter the field of high-grade Wizards.
In the past, Søren started to try to slay dragons after he reached level 15.
Of course, it wasn't the kind of purebred dragons, but the subspecies of dragons such as Ground Dragons, Pterosaurs, Wyverns, and so on. He killed the first purebred dragon when he was level 16 as a Rogue, but it was just a white dragon that had just reached adulthood. Before Tier 3, Slaughter EXP would be an explosive period. The leveling speed of a player's class would be relatively fast. If he wanted to increase his strength later on, he could no longer just deal with random trash. A Pterosaur gave more Slaughter EXP than killing a large group of goblins, and the value of the loot was also several times more!
Advancing to legendary not only required Slaughter EXP, but also more than 100,000 Kindler's worth of wealth.
This world couldn't be separated from money!
Søren still didn't have the financial ability to carry out the "bloodline purification" ceremony for himself, let alone replenish his rare high-grade equipment. The value of a legendary Wizard was basically more than one million Kindler's worth, which was equivalent to the wealth of a city. It was only enough for him to complete half of a Wizard Tower.
Rogue was a poor profession, and the need for money was not too serious!
Although the gap was still big, Søren had already begun to plan to enter the realm of legends. He still needed a lot of things, and the most important thing at present was money.
A set of rare grade equipment had not been collected yet.
The huge cost of learning spells had to be accumulated, and the huge amount of alchemy expenses was still nowhere to be seen. Wizards were a profession that was always short of money, and there was never enough money to spend.
Money was power to wizards. Low-grade wizards were able to defeat high-grade professions because of money.
For now.
Few Wizards could challenge high-grade Professions. The main reason was not the gap in strength, but because they did not have as much money as the other party!
Sometimes, Søren really felt that he should hug the thigh of the Goddess of Wealth.
After a simple day's rest.
Søren left Glacier City and walked toward the desolate wilderness. He knew a place in the Frost Kingdom where the Pterosaur subspecies gathered. They were a hybrid of the White Dragon and were distributed in groups of three to five. They could spit out ice breath, and the challenge difficulty belonged to the C-level among the Pterosaur subspecies. They were relatively easy to deal with.
As long as he killed a nest of them, it would be enough for him to exchange for a high-grade rare grade equipment!
The wilderness of the Frost Kingdom was relatively quiet. The distribution of wild creatures was actually very scattered. Species were divided into territories by groups. Adventurers rarely farmed monsters one by one, and the monsters appeared in groups. It was possible that after trekking for an entire day, you would only encounter a few scattered monsters and kill them all. There wouldn't be any more in the near future.
The situation in Whiterun was mainly because of a special event that led to the large-scale gathering of monsters!
Otherwise, the food shortage would make them kill each other until the number was right.
In Søren's memory, farming monsters actually referred to killing people. The most abundant thing in the world was not monsters, but intelligent creatures everywhere. These were the source of experience that could never be killed. Therefore, for a long time, the people of the Evil Faction were generally one or two levels higher than the people of the Good Faction. Unfortunately, these people did not end well.
This was a taboo.
Because those ordinary intelligent creatures were also the source of the faith of the gods. In this place where faith was widespread, they were the cornerstone of faith and they were also the ones who supported the shrines all over the world. If you encountered some taboo, it would be the shrines that would attack you, and there was the possibility of a legendary being. The only place Søren had farmed people was the desert. The group of desert bandits was not loved by anyone. Not only were they numerous, but they were also densely distributed. Killing too many of them would at most provoke a demigod church. Other than that, there were basically no serious consequences.
It seemed that he had completely adapted to the cold.
Søren was now very resistant to cold weather, and it was not inconvenient for him to move around in the Frost Kingdom.
At noon.
He found a relatively dry place to set up a campfire, then cut a section of the king crab and roasted it. This kind of delicious food was only available in a few areas, and the price was quite cheap. Spices were extremely expensive. The weight of spices was almost equivalent to the weight of gold. Even with the income of an adventurer, they could not afford it. Søren rarely used these spices in the past, and now he only brought a little. Otherwise, he would always feel like he was eating gold. If he ate as much as he wanted, he could eat the money to buy a rare grade equipment.
It was easy to ensure survival in this world, but the cost of enjoyment was dozens of times higher!
The sea salt was slightly bitter.
The superior refined salt had to be filtered through alchemy, and the price was slightly more expensive. Søren was not that particular about it, so he just sprinkled some salt and spices and ate it like that.
The king crab tasted good.
Søren did not quite understand why people in this era were a little taboo to eat crabs. When he was about 50% full, he suddenly heard something.
He suddenly stood up and held his curved sword in his hand.
Søren pushed aside the snow-covered bushes and carefully approached the place where the sound came from. It was not far from his position, about a hundred meters away. He heard something like a plop.
There was nothing in front of him!
However, there seemed to be a slight dent in the snow. Søren's expression was a little strange. He took a step forward vigilantly, and then carefully reached out his finger to touch it.
He touched soft skin, even though his eyes could not see anything.
"Greater Invisibility?!"
Søren withdrew his finger in surprise, and then carefully touched the nose. The nose was a little small and exquisite, and it looked like a woman. Her breathing was weak, and it seemed that she had fainted. Søren still could not see anything. The effect of Greater Invisibility was too strong, far stronger than ordinary Invisibility.
Søren could only rely on touch to determine the target. He touched soft long hair, and a delicate earring.
He touched along the neck, and felt two soft and full mounds in front of the chest. The texture was quite good, and it was very elastic when pinched. It should be a young girl. The clothes she was wearing were very exquisite, and it seemed to be made of high-quality silk. She must be of high status. There were no traces of blood on her body, and her heartbeat was quite stable. She probably did not suffer any fatal injuries.
Søren hesitated for a moment.
He then bent down and picked up the girl who he could not see, but felt that she was a human girl. He then turned around and walked towards the bonfire.
Greater Invisibility did not last long, and he did not have a spell to break it. He could only wait for it to wear off.
He hoped that saving this girl would not bring him any trouble!
Søren would not have done this in the past, but he had just been saved once, and it could be considered as doing a good deed.
The girl in his arms was very light, and it seemed that she was enchanted with other spells.
How could a girl who had fainted with Greater Invisibility suddenly appear in this desolate wilderness? It felt like she would bring him trouble!
