Wizarding World Beekeeper

The shop owner looked at him with a smile, and his narrowed eyelids could not stop his greedy gaze.

Hua Mi shook his head: "If you're curious, just ask."

In fact, he had more than one demon-blocking gold coin on him.

There is also a nameplate made of magic-resistant gold.

However, looking at the boss's profiteer look, Hua Mi wondered if he had lowered the value of the Demon Resistance Gold Coin.

In order to avoid being deceived, he decided not to stop Mojin for the time being.

"Don't rush to buy the space equipment now. It won't be too late to buy it after you come back from the Misty Mountains."

And maybe you can find some materials that can be sold in the adventure areas.

Hua Mi made up her mind and stopped worrying about the matter. She turned to ask: "Boss, do you collect things here?"

The boss put away his smile slightly and looked at him strangely. Instead of refusing directly, he asked instead: "What does the customer want to sell?"

Hua Mi replied: "Some materials, and... privately refined potions."

"It turns out that the guest is an alchemist." The boss straightened his body and his attitude seemed to be more respectful - or maybe he was wary, "I wonder which academy the guest is a master of?"

Black Forest Beekeeping Academy.

Hua Mi complained in her heart, but in order to avoid trouble, she said perfunctorily: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."

The boss nodded slightly when he heard this. He didn't know whether he believed it or not, and said politely: "The magic potions here come in through the official channels of the guild. If customers want to sell magic potions, they can probably go to other specialized potions stores. Ask, as for the materials... there is a store on this street that specializes in purchasing various materials, and the prices are quite reasonable. Customers can go and have a look if they need it.

"Of course, you can trade adventure-related items at the guild's office. However, the price depends on the eloquence of you and the person you are trading with. The guild generally does not interfere in transactions between adventurers. Provide a platform.”

Well, it’s really impossible to just find a store and sell your stuff.

It’s still convenient in the game.

Hua Mi stayed in this store for more than an hour and had a basic understanding of the prices here.

After leaving the store, I walked around according to the map for a while.

The map in his hand is no ordinary drawn map.

When the mental power penetrates into it, a three-dimensional simulated city is generated in the mind, which can be zoomed in and out, and even the perspective can be adjusted, overlooking or looking down, and the details can be seen clearly.

Like a satellite map on your phone.

The area traveled can also be recorded, along with the percentage of area exploration.

Having said that, this Metropolis is really big.

It is estimated that you can’t explore 0.01% of the area in one day.

Walking along a street to the end, Hua Mi stopped in front of an imposing single-family building.

This three-story building with a magnificent appearance stands out from other surrounding buildings, which can be noticed at a glance.

The guests who come in and out are obviously different from ordinary people. Most of them look like adventurers when they look like they are dressed up.

Various.

Most of them are humans, but there are also elves, dwarves, and some humanoid species that Hua Mi can't name.

The name of this building is also given on the map: Adventurer's Guild East Branch Office.

There is a sign at the door, which states the business hours and the main business accepted.

Hua Mi took a cursory glance.

The business is quite extensive.

For example, you can register here to become an adventurer under the guild's name - and then you can enjoy some benefits that only guild members can enjoy.

Start as a 1-star adventurer. As your level gets higher and higher, you will enjoy more and more privileges, and you will have a growing sense of belonging in the guild.

Of course, enjoying rights also comes with certain responsibilities.

For example, the most basic thing is that members need to pay membership fees regularly.

This is where a large part of the Guild's funding comes from.

The three Carters are adventurers officially registered under the guild.

As for their star rating, Hua Mi didn't know and never asked.

Another example is providing food, clothing, housing and transportation arrangements for adventurers who come here - of course, it is not free, but there are discounts for adventurers registered under the guild's name.

There are also things like providing a platform for adventurers to trade and form teams, publishing bounty tasks, etc.

Guilds also shoulder the important task of maintaining the sustainable development of adventure lands.

Nowadays, the adventure industry in the Western Continent is extremely developed. If it is not controlled, many adventure spots may have been wiped out by hungry adventurers.

Having said that, the role that guilds can play is actually very limited.

The most that can be done is to set up restricted areas and hunting ban periods.

But the binding force is not very strong, and many times the guild turns a blind eye.

After all, there are many people in the adventurer group who are willing to risk their lives for profit, so how can they honestly follow the guild's requirements? With limited manpower, how can they manage it.

Hua Mi watched outside for a while, then walked towards the guild gate.

As the guardian of the Black Forest, he would naturally not join the guild. There is no need to be bound by this.

However, you can take advantage of the services provided by the guild.

…

Pushing open the door, a burst of noisy sound immediately filled my ears.

The huge hall was full of adventurers, most of whom were chatting together in groups of three or two.

There were also staff in guild uniforms busily shuttled among them.

There are also long queues in front of each service window.

For the first time, Hua Mi intuitively felt the popularity of the world's adventure industry.

Don't worry about anything else.

First, use the treasure land to familiarize yourself with the dungeon you want to go to.

Hua Mi found a relatively free rest area, sat in the corner, took out the adventure manual, and started reading.

With his current mental strength and concentration, his reading speed and memory are far beyond ordinary people. It only takes an hour at most to browse this booklet quickly, and he can remember most of the content in a short period of time.

After looking at the table of contents, I found that the manual actually listed a separate chapter for "Tree on the Other Side".

Originally, he thought that there was probably no introduction to the tree on the other side.

After all, the adventure guide mainly records some dangerous areas and creatures. What danger can a tree bring?

It seems that this tree is more troublesome than what is recorded in the alchemy notes.

Hua Mi looked at the catalog and turned directly to the page about the tree on the other side.

…

The other side refers to the other side of the human world, the world of the dead.

The so-called "world of the dead" here refers to the place where the soul should go under normal circumstances, that is, the spiritual world. The soul falling into the nine hells or staying in the human world is an abnormal situation.

Legend has it that this tree can communicate with the spirit world.

Earlier it was believed that for every tree on the other side of the earth, there is a corresponding twin tree in the spiritual world. Therefore, the tree on the other side is also called the twin tree.

There is an implicit connection between the two trees. When the mourner goes under the tree, the soul in the spiritual world can sense the call from the human world and appear in front of the mourner in the form of a spirit body, allowing for simple communication.

Later, after expert research, it was concluded that communicating with the spirit world was pure nonsense.

The reason why people have this misunderstanding is mainly because of one of its characteristics.

The material of the tree on the other side is very special, and it also contains some rare magical elements, allowing it to absorb spirits.

To be precise, it is possible to imprison a spirit body in a tree and force it into a symbiotic relationship.

The other shore tree can sense and absorb the magic saturated with thoughts and grief. When a creature with such emotionally affected magic comes nearby, the other shore tree will absorb and interpret this magic power, and at the same time release the spirit body, Transform into the image of the person the target mourns, to attract the target to stay for a long time, thereby providing yourself with sufficient nutrients.

A very cunning plant.

Nowadays, its tricks are well known, but there are still people who are willing to "fall for it" and wait beside the tree on the other side for a long time. The most extreme ones will stay there until they die of exhaustion.

The manual specifically reminds you not to use illusions to deceive or paralyze yourself.

In addition, the manual also mentioned that due to the peculiar properties of the other shore tree and the unique magical elements it contains, it may attract some powerful monsters to live nearby, so you must be careful when approaching it.

A nectar plant with such strange characteristics, Hua Mi was really curious about the effects of the honey it brewed.

The manual says that the other shore tree likes shade and generally grows in backlit areas where direct sunlight is not available.

For example, in the canyon.

Hua Mi turned to the map included in the manual.

The Misty Mountains are mainly composed of two mountain ranges, the inner and outer mountains.

The outer mountain range roughly presents a ring shape, surrounding the inner mountainous area, with openings in only one direction.

The inner mountains are irregular in direction and are actually composed of branches of the outer mountains.

The terrain here is low and shrouded in fog all year round.

The three-star rating is based on comprehensive consideration of both internal and external areas. If only the internal area is considered, it can barely be considered a four-star rating.

"Although the manual mentions that there are more trees on the other side in the inner areas, there are not necessarily none in the outer mountainous areas."

If he could easily and quickly find the other side tree in the outer area, he would not go inside.

Hua Mi circled two canyon areas that were relatively close to each other in the outer mountainous area, and planned to visit these two places first.

The record about the tree on the other side is very simple and can be told in just a few pages.

Hua Mi turned to the first page again and started reading from the beginning.

This booklet is obviously much thicker than the "Black Forest Adventure Guide", with about twice as much content.

It's no wonder, after all, it is a three-star adventure place, which is one level higher than a two-star adventure place.

The units recorded in the manual include mostly non-intelligent monsters, as well as intelligent individuals.

As long as they settle inside the adventure area, they are within the scope of the manual's records.

If nothing else, he will also appear in the new version of "Black Forest Adventure Guide"...

The first page as usual is an introduction to the adventure as a whole, as well as some common precautions.

For example, the author focused on "Be careful of mountain ghosts"——

It seems that the mountain ghosts in the Misty Mountains are treated the same as the green-haired apes in the Black Forest.

"When you meet a beautiful person of the opposite sex saying hello to you on the road, don't be too happy too early and be alert, because what's waiting for you may not be love, it may be a mountain ghost. They usually don't kill you, but when you wake up, they usually You will find that some organs are missing from your body - a certain unnamed retired adventurer, Madolson Geed."

Monsters like mountain ghosts have the innate ability to perform illusions without consuming any materials or magic power.

However, Hua Mi is not worried about this.

His eyes can see through illusions, and he is believed to be able to deal with monsters like mountain ghosts.

Huami Quantum Reading quickly flipped through and quickly entered the text.

The first unit recorded above successfully attracted his attention.

My reading speed slowed down a bit and I read it carefully.

This is a person.

A druid, to be precise.

There is a drawing next to it, which is a bit sloppy, but it can be seen that it is a female figure holding a staff and shining light.

She is classified as the "absolutely neutral" camp, and the manual recommends that if you encounter any trouble, you might as well try to ask her for help.

Of course, that's if you can find her.

This druid has no fixed residence, and the manual only mentions a few areas where she often appears.

What really caught Hua Mi's attention was that the introduction mentioned that she was canonized as the "Guardian of the Mountains" by the spirit of the Misty Mountains.

"He is a guardian like me. We can communicate with him when we meet him...and this druid should know where the other shore tree is."

However, Hua Mi would not go out of his way to find her.

It's such a waste of time to risk so much.

If you encounter it, consider yourself lucky.

If you can't meet it, forget it.

Again, the goal is very clear, that is to find the tree on the other side, without complicating the process.

Hua Mi was browsing and memorizing the contents of the manual when her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a burst of noise.
