The news was quickly sent to the city of Mordor through special channels.
When the news was sent to Søren by magic, it was already noon the next day. At this time, Søren had already left the first town and arrived at a large city near the Gobi. This city was very old. Although it had been destroyed many times in history, it was finally rebuilt by the monks. Because this was an important stronghold for the monks, it was also one of the few places in the material plane where one could learn the "Sun Flame Style" by conventional means.
In the past, many adventurers who advanced to the monk level went here to practice, so that they could master the "Sun Flame Style" and "Moon Style" after advancing to the legendary level.
Søren's purpose here was to learn the Expeditious Steps.
It was a special combat skill. After mastering it, one could get the additional ability of "Attack + 2" and "Dodge + 1".
The eastern countries had a unique culture.
On the other side of the continent, although the ability "Attack First" could be trained, the actual combat effect was not as good as the footwork of the eastern countries.
Søren definitely could not learn the Sun Flame Style and the Moon Style.
Unless he planned to advance to the monk level and upgrade to the legendary level. However, some of the unique training methods of the monks could be mastered. The Expeditious Steps was also one of the [Special Abilities].
Other than that.
In the eastern countries, one could also train additional abilities such as "Rapid Strike", "Sword Draw", "Swift Movement" and so on.
This city was spoken in an oriental language, and its name could be translated as the 'Boat of the Desert'. This was the gathering place of the good and neutral monks of the order. They had been guarding the underground ruins where ancient evil creatures were sealed for generations. Because the teachings of the monks were quite special, there were many ascetic monks who had made a "poverty oath" here. They could almost be said to have no desire for material things. They were completely in pursuit of spiritual detachment.
The population of this city was only about 50,000.
Most of the cities in the eastern countries did not have a large population. Only near the fertile areas, there would be cities with more than 100,000 people.
There were three monasteries in the Ship of the Desert.
As soon as Søren arrived, he saw a group of dwarves. It was rare to see a bearded dwarf in the Eastern Kingdoms. Because the monk group of the Desert Boat accepted dwarves as monks, there was a special group of dwarven monks here.
The dwarven monks with thick skin specialized in the 'Diamond Body'. In the Eastern Kingdom, they were the best meat shields.
In the south of the city, there was a smithy called "Broken Sword". This was one of the reasons why Søren was here, as there were many good things in this smithy.
Opposite the blacksmith shop was a tavern. Standing at the door, one could see lazy dancers lying on the counter. This city didn't allow the establishment of brothels. Even the Eastern Empress wouldn't touch that bad luck. This was because the martial monks here were very strict. Many of them were the kind that didn't leave overnight wealth. If they brazenly opened a brothel here, it would be a slap in the face. As for whether there were any sexual activities going on in the dark corners, the Martial Monks Conclave wouldn't ask too much.
After all, they couldn't ask ordinary people to strictly follow the teachings like the monks.
The owner of the Broken Sword smithy was not eye-catching. He was just an ordinary middle-aged man. He looked quite strong. Usually, he would just forge and drink. There were a few blacksmith apprentices under him.
If Søren hadn't seen him in action before, he wouldn't have believed that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was a high-level sword saint.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
The middle-aged man in the smithy glanced at Søren and seemed to be uninterested. He said lazily, "We have all kinds of weapons here. If you need a different kind of weapon, you can customize it. But the price is more expensive. "
There were many different kinds of weapons in the Eastern Kingdom.
Some monks even used scythes as weapons. They looked a little like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Many monks chose to fight with their bare hands, so the business of the smithy wasn't very good. Søren couldn't stay in the Eastern Kingdom for too long because the second wave of the abyss demons would soon arrive. So he went straight to the point and said, "I heard that you have some underground relics here. Do you want to sell them?"
"I want to pick a few."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but squint. He looked at Søren up and down and said, "Follow me."
Creak.
The middle-aged man walked into the room and opened a door. Then, the entrance to the basement appeared in front of them.
Søren quickly followed him. The basement was very spacious. On the left side were rows of weapon racks. On the right side, it looked more like a garbage dump because there were all kinds of strange things.
He was a sword saint from the lawful evil faction.
His secret identity was the leader of a gray organization. Their organization often went against the rules to find treasures in underground relics that weren't allowed to enter.
So it was possible to find some rare and good things here.
Many underground relics had terrifying monsters sealed. The monks didn't like adventurers to disturb places where ancient evil creatures were sealed. However, many places where evil creatures were found were ruins of the Arcane Empire. There were a lot of valuable things in those places. So, some organizations would secretly explore those places. The monks couldn't do anything about it. Sometimes, they had to clean up the mess for them. For example, recently, some bastard opened the seal of the relics and several Magic Sunflowers came out of the underground relics.
Søren glanced at the items and started to look for something.
With the advantage of foresight, Søren could find some good things in advance. However, with his current identity as a god, it was difficult to attract Søren's attention unless it was valuable enough.
Soon!
Søren found a broken mask from the garbage.
The mask was made of bone and looked a little bit ferocious. The surface was severely damaged, but there was still some magic light left.
"How much is this?"
Søren picked up the mask and weighed it in his hand.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Three thousand Kindler."
What a ridiculous price.
In the middle-aged man's mind, the mask was naturally not worth so much money. However, Søren didn't care. He directly took it, paid the bill, and left.
He came here for this mask.
Now that the mask was in his hand, Søren directly left the blacksmith shop. He was going to buy the book to learn "Expeditious Steps" from the black market.
This mask was a legendary item.
However, now that it was seriously damaged, it was quite troublesome to repair. A legendary item was not enough to make Søren come here in person. What was more valuable was the spell imprinted on the mask.
— — "Simulacrum [Level 8 Spell]!"
Of course.
If it was called "Simulacrum," it didn't sound like much. If it was called a temporary version of "Avatar," it would be much more cool.
