Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 130 Waterdeep City

"Glorious City", "Crown of the North", "Pearl of the Sword Coast".
The numerous titles hanging above Waterdeep City indicate its status as the number one city in Faerun.

After meeting Shana, they arrived at Waterdeep after a day.

This majestic and magnificent city is extremely large, with nine districts: Castle District, Dock District, Wild Area, Northern District, Southern District, Commercial District, Sea District, Sub-Cliff, and City of the Dead.

For most locals who were born and raised here, they can understand the different distribution and characteristics of each region, but for outsiders, it is almost impossible to avoid getting lost.

The area of ​​Waterdeep is more than three times that of the capital of Impu, which means that the size of this city is even comparable to some small countries.

In fact, this is true. As an independent city, Waterdeep is a member of the local "Lords' Alliance" in Sword Coast.

The so-called Lords' Alliance is an organization formed by many independent cities in the Sword Coast region to resist the kingdom.

The famous Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, Silvermoon City and others are all part of the Lords' Alliance.

But don't think that the Lords' Alliance is the so-called alliance country. In fact, the relationship between cities in the Lords' Alliance is even more scattered than that of the European Union on Earth. Unless there is a life-and-death crisis or major interests involved, these cities rarely unite.

This actually gave the Amn Empire the opportunity to stir up trouble in the Lords' Alliance.

The Empire of Amn is a parliamentary state. Even though it does not have a sole ruler like an emperor or a prime minister, it has stronger cohesion than the Lords' Alliance. Coupled with its deep wealth and powerful naval force, the coastal areas of the Sword Coast are basically controlled by the Empire of Amn.

Even such a powerful country has to try to please Waterdeep, because Waterdeep is home to a large number of nobles of distinguished status. According to incomplete statistics, at least 75 well-known noble families are stationed in Waterdeep.

Here, it is very likely that the gorgeously dressed noble you pass by is the prince of a small country, and even some of the great nobles within the Empire of Am have moved to Waterdeep.

The reason why Waterdeep is so popular is naturally because of its powerful strength and long and special history.

Four hundred years ago, after the Saint's Catastrophe, the gods who were banished to the mortal world returned to the kingdom of the gods from Waterdeep. Waterdeep not only possesses a powerful magical force, but its church power is also very developed. Most of the more famous churches of the Good God have built temples in Waterdeep to facilitate believers to worship the gods.

Under such circumstances, more nobles were attracted and gathered in Waterdeep like a snowball.

These people, who possess the largest wealth in the entire continent, lead the trend of the entire city with their arrogant attitude and lavish spending, causing the preferred styles of clothing, weapons, accessories, music and other fields on the entire West Coast to change in the blink of an eye, making the nouveau riche in other cities spend all their money to flock to them.

For example, now, Nemesis is standing on the street in the commercial district of Waterdeep. The humans, alien creatures, and even monsters passing by are all wearing various styles of gorgeous clothes and jewelry. The aesthetics of Waterdeep not only affects humans, but also all creatures that enter it.

"Wow, boss, look at that guy, his head looks just like yours!"

Pumbaa rode on Nemesis's shoulders and gave instructions to various creatures. A humanoid creature with a dragon-like head and amethyst-like scales all over its body caught its attention.

"Interesting, an Amethyst Dragonborn." Nemesis looked over and unexpectedly found that the other party was actually a very rare Gem Dragonborn, and his bloodline was the most powerful Amethyst Dragon among the Gem Dragonborn. Shanai beside him also smiled and explained: "In the commercial district of Waterdeep City, you can almost see any race except demons and devils. Even disguised demons and devils may exist here."

“Of course, the prices here are a little bit higher than other places, but believe me, everyone who has shopped here thinks it’s great value for money.”

After saying that, Shana left. She planned to purchase some spell information and research materials by herself.

Nemesis let the brass dragon Gund wander around on his own, and then walked towards a house called [Oswald's Wonderful House].

The cottage with a pointed roof looked like the residence of a spooky witch in a fairy tale. Upon sensing someone approaching, two faint blue flames immediately lit up in front of the door, and a red carpet appeared on the path in front of the door, welcoming the guests.

"Ah, distinguished guest, distinguished guest, welcome to Oswald's wonderful house~"

An extremely old lady with a face like a blooming chrysanthemum lit up her eyes when she saw Nemesis and greeted him with unbearable enthusiasm.

Nemesis frowned and exposed her identity without hesitation: "A witch?"

The old lady still kept smiling and said humbly, "Yes, yes, powerful real dragon, I am a demon ghost and the owner of this shop."

Nemesis looked around and found that most of the things in the store were herbs, scrolls, and potions, with very few magical items.

According to rumors, the demon hags, one of the most powerful types of hags, cannot enchant items at all. This leads to them often disguising themselves as powerless noble beauties in order to defraud wizards of their magic items.

The level 14 witch in front of him did not escape the detection of the mental power, and Nemesis had already seen through her identity.

"I want to buy a guide to building a wizard tower." Nemesis said bluntly after not finding the object he was interested in.

The witch was stunned for a moment: "This thing is very expensive, and Waterdeep City has a rule that any knowledge items other than low- and medium-level spell models must sign a non-proliferation treaty. Are you sure you need it?"

"What?" Nemesis's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. Why did he have to sign a contract? He originally wanted to buy it and then sell it to make a profit.

Seeing Nemesis hesitate, the witch wanted to slap herself in the face. What nonsense was she talking about? What if this dragon, who looked stupid and rich, didn't want to buy it?
"Wait a minute, although the "Guide to Building a Mage Tower" cannot be sold, it still has its own value. Each copy of the "Guide to Building a Mage Tower" comes with a [Tomb Jade] with a diameter of ten centimeters. This is a necessary carrier for creating tower spirits. If you want to buy it on the market, you need at least 80,000 gold coins!" The witch continued to seduce.

Nemesis' eyes lit up when he heard about "Tomb Jade". This gemstone is jade that turns red or brown after being buried for a very long time. If there are bronze objects nearby, the buried jade will also turn green.

The green [Tomb Jade] is also the most valuable. Its ability to carry various spirits makes it the top magic gem most sought after by necromancers. A [Tomb Jade] with a diameter of one centimeter has a market price of at least 1,500 gold coins, and as its size increases, the price also rises.

If this book really came with a ten-centimeter tomb jade, it would be a good return on investment.
