However, after going around the place.
Elvin had a general understanding of the prices in the crow market. He would not be so clueless as to be cheated by others.
There was one thing that needed to be mentioned. The common currency used in the crow market was the same as the outside world. They used gold lions and silver bulls. This was because high purity gold, silver and other precious metals were precious spellcasting materials. They were also very useful to Extraordinaires.
"Fortunately, I still have some gold lions."
Elvin did not have to spend his own money to buy the Blue Flag Demon Shark's extraordinary characteristic. He now had a total of more than three thousand gold lions in his pocket. As long as he did not spend it recklessly, it was a huge sum of money that could allow an ordinary person to live a carefree life.
However, what disappointed Elvin was that the items sold here did not seem to be of a high level. Moreover, most of the Extraordinaires in the market were very ordinary.
When Elvin activated his spiritual force attribute, his digitized vision was also updated. Although he could not see the strength of other people's spiritual force at a glance, based on Elvin's own senses, he could still make a rough judgment.
Among them, 99% of the apprentice-level Extraordinaires were Extraordinaires. Moreover, there were very few who were Knights like him. Most of them had already activated their spiritual force and leaned towards the path of magic profession.
However, these people were mostly weak to Elvin, who was already an official Knight.
As an apprentice-level Sorcerer, they could use potions or prepared tools to cast spells and hold rituals. They had the advantage of being unpredictable.
However, in a sudden battle, their real frontal attack might not be as high as a normal soldier with a flintlock.
This was also the awkwardness of the apprentice-level Sorcerer profession. Among those unlucky people who were captured by the Church, 99% were at this level.
If Elvin did not have two paths, this would also be the problem he would face.
After sweeping through the stalls, Elvin looked at the surroundings of the crow market. It was obvious that there were shops.
It was like a shop with long-term fixed assets that gave people the feeling that it was more reliable than a roadside stall. His intuition told him that there should be more high-end things inside.
However, when Elvin casually walked into the first shop, the situation inside made him slightly stunned.
This shop was actually a Divination Hut.
Zorro, who hadn't been seen since entering the Crow Bazaar, was sitting behind a table with a crystal ball, playing the role of a diviner.
A red curtain with golden tassels hung in front of him. Green smoke formed from incense rose into the air like clouds and mist. Even among the adepts, the atmosphere was so mysterious that it made one hold their breath involuntarily.
Moreover, Zorro's attire had changed again. His face was completely covered by a silver mask inlaid with white crystals. He wore a white robe and various accessories. His attire was very neutral.
In the deliberately created sense of mystery, strangers couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman, old or young.
"'Zorro' is actually a diviner?!"
This discovery was somewhat out of Elvin's expectations, but it also explained why he could learn about the "Leon's Diary" hidden on the supply ship without the knowledge of the quartermaster.
Furthermore, regardless of whether it was in the fantasy works of his previous life or his understanding of the supernatural world in this life, the divination masters of the School of Prophecy were not known for their fighting strength.
It was no wonder that during the battle that night, he didn't see him use any spells.
"Hello, customer! Would you like to do a divination? " An extremely neutral voice sounded. Elvin didn't know if it was a misconception, but he felt that there was a strong sense of expectation in his words.
Seeing Elvin's hesitation, 'Zorro' added, "As long as it doesn't exceed rank 1, regardless of whether it's an object or a person."
"Alright, then help me take a look." Elvin really did have a matter that required reliable information. Seeing that he was an 'acquaintance', Elvin didn't mind giving 'Zorro' a chance.
The Crow Bazaar was indeed a gathering place for magic professions. Previously, when he was collecting herbs, Elvin had already collected the "Bird Language Potion" in just one round. He only lacked one ingredient for the "Whale Potion" that could strengthen a Knight's digestive and absorption abilities.
However, this last ingredient, the Saltwater Crocodile's scale, was not found in the bazaar. Perhaps he could find the answer here with 'Zorro'. Moreover, even if there was a problem, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could just look elsewhere.
Following 'Zorro's' guidance, Elvin sat opposite him.
"You don't need to tell me what you need.
Please look at my crystal ball and imagine your question. The more detailed and profound it is, the better the effect.
After that, I'll tell you the answer. "
Listening to 'Zorro's' calm tone, Elvin stared at the crystal ball placed on top of an oak tree. He tried his best to imagine the shape, texture, and use of the Saltwater Crocodile's scale.
"Alright. You'll find what you're looking for five kilometers northeast. "
Soon, Elvin was awakened by 'Zorro's' voice and instantly broke free from his meditative state.
Just now, Elvin actually felt that his spiritual sense was entangled with the crystal ball for a moment, even causing him to lose focus for a moment. Fortunately, 'Zorro' didn't have any ill intentions, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Cold sweat trickled down his back.
After hastily paying the divination fee, Elvin, who was still in shock, didn't chat with 'Zorro' any longer. He turned around and left the fortune-telling shop as if he was escaping.
Walking in the market outside, Elvin suddenly remembered that due to his panic, he didn't have the time to ask 'Zorro' if he could divine the whereabouts of his sister, Anita.
However, now that he knew that there was such a mysterious person among the people he knew, Elvin believed that it wouldn't be difficult to find him next time.
"Strange, why do I feel that this person is a little familiar?" Looking at Elvin's back, 'Zorro' also felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
However, just as he said, his divination ability couldn't be used on people whose strength exceeded one level. Moreover, apart from being a Sorcerer Apprentice, Elvin was also a level 2 Extraordinary Knight.
.....
Early the next morning, Elvin prepared the map, rations, and necessary equipment before setting off for the destination 'Zorro' divined.
The 'Whale Potion' could greatly increase the speed of Elvin's Extraordinary transformation. Originally, he didn't want to expose himself, so he didn't start collecting the ingredients. Now that he was only a step away from his goal, Elvin didn't want to waste any more time.
Therefore, after knowing the location of the last ingredient, he couldn't wait to set off.
According to the map, five kilometers to the northeast was a swamp not far north of the harbor.
Because the terrain was low, it often caused the seawater to flow in. In addition to the habitat of various creatures, over the years, it had turned into a saltwater swamp with a complicated terrain.
There were all kinds of swamp creatures in the swamp, such as water birds, leeches, poisonous insects, water snakes, fish, and so on. Naturally, there was also the saltwater crocodiles that Elvin needed.
Elvin wasn't sure if 'Zorro' knew about this.
However, in a situation where he didn't explicitly tell 'Zorro' what he needed, to be able to come to such a conclusion, it already proved that 'Zorro' had some skill compared to the 'Masters' in his previous life.
Although this was an undeveloped wilderness, it was also marked on the map bought from the crow market. The danger here wasn't great, and it was more than enough for an official Knight to deal with.
* Splash — *
Elvin was very glad that he had prepared a pair of tall leather boots, which could prevent him from coming into close contact with the smelly sludge and the dirty water that hid countless bacteria and parasites.
The terrain of the swamp was hard to describe. What looked like flat ground could be mud, and what looked like water could be solid. Even with the help of his spiritual force and greatly enhanced senses, Elvin still fell for it a few times.
Not to mention the pythons that disguised themselves well, the annoying flying insects, and the poisonous thorns. Dangerous things were everywhere in this swamp.
"This is too good at hiding!"
After going deep into the saltwater swamp for nearly two hours, the land had completely disappeared, leaving only small islands and dense aquatic plants protruding out of the continuous waves.
Here, Elvin finally found traces of saltwater crocodiles crawling on the mud.
With this initial clue, the rest was easy.
With the help of his data analysis vision, Elvin's tracking ability was no weaker than any experienced hunter. It was only a matter of time before he found the main body of these crocodiles.
He searched for more than ten minutes.
Soon, Elvin found a few saltwater crocodiles lazily basking in the sun on a sandy area that protruded out of the water surface. Furthermore, they carried forward the excellent traditions of animals in the Fantasy World, and all of them were extremely large!
Looking at their trunks, thick scales, and sharp teeth that were even longer than daggers … Elvin didn't think that it was a good idea for him, who was still in the metamorphosis stage, to fight bare-chested with such large fellows.
Fortunately, the difference between humans and animals was that they knew how to use their intelligence and tools.
From his belt, he took a fat waterbird that he had hunted along the way. He hid a four-pronged hook in its stomach and tied it firmly with a strong rope. Then, he threw it to the group of crocodiles from afar.
Splash!
Water splashed everywhere, and the free delicacies caused them to fight over it.
Unfortunately, in the process of fighting, the waterbird was torn apart, and the hook fell out.
The first attempt was a failure.
Already mentally prepared, Elvin went to hunt another waterbird and repeated the same trick. Taking advantage of the fact that a crocodile was alone, he threw it to its mouth, and then the gluttonous big fellow opened its mouth and bit down without thinking.
Crack!
How shocking was the bite force of a crocodile? The upper and lower jaws were pierced through by the huge force.
Elvin couldn't help but shrink his neck. "This must be very painful!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Anyone who saw it would cry. The intense pain caused it to struggle and roll. Sand, dead leaves, and gravel were scattered by the huge force of its limbs and tail.
Then, Elvin the Hunter left, and Elvin the Fisherman took the stage.
He kept controlling the rope in his hand. He didn't loosen it too much to let it escape his sight, nor did he tighten it too much to let it have a chance to break the rope.
This was a competition of patience.
Finally …
After the two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour, the crocodile used "Death Roll" because it was too painful, and the big fellow finally floated in the water and stopped moving.
Whoosh!
He dragged it ashore with force, took out a sharp dagger, and searched for enough scales from his prey bit by bit.
Elvin let out a sigh of relief. Even if he had surpassed the limits of a human and his attributes were still rapidly increasing, it was still a little difficult to be in a stalemate with such a big fellow for such a long time.
However, the winner was still himself.
