Casablanca also used magic lamps as street lamps, but that was only in the most important streets, such as the city square in the central district, Louis Avenue in the east district, and the secret streets in the southeast and northeast districts.
It was unimaginable that Tailun City would install magic street lamps in most of the bustling streets.
The core of the so-called magic lamp was a very simple magic circuit. This magic circuit did not have any magical effects, and it had two functions. First, it extended the duration of the level-zero spell "Illumination Spell." The basic duration of the level-zero spell "Illumination Spell" was two hours. In these two hours, the Illumination Spell would be attached to an item designated by the spellcaster, continuously and stably providing a cold light source equivalent to a two-hundred-watt light bulb. When this spell was used on a magic lamp, the magic circuit on the magic lamp could extend the duration of the spell to six hours.
The second effect of the magic circuit of the street lamp was to increase the brightness of the "Illumination Spell." It could double the brightness of the Illumination Spell equivalent to a two-hundred-watt light bulb. In addition to the reflector on the top of the magic lamp, this kind of street lamp could allow the Illumination Spell to produce light equivalent to a seven-hundred-watt light bulb, enough to provide outdoor lighting.
Because the magic lamp could not emit light on its own, it needed a specialized lamplighter. This person wearing a police uniform and riding a horse was the lamplighter.
The short wand in the hands of the lamplighter was a magic wand specially used to store the Illumination Spell. This was a level-one magical item that could store a total of thirty Illumination Spells.
Mage apprentices bought uncharged Illumination Spell wands from secret shops, and injected their daily spell slots and the Illumination Spell recovered from meditation into the wands. When the wands were full, they would sell them. This was a very important way for many mage apprentices to earn money.
These street lamps consumed one Illumination Spell every night, and the price of one Illumination Spell was about one crown.
Every street lamp would consume at least one crown every day. In order to light up the entire main streets of Tailun City, they might need tens of thousands of street lamps. In other words, Tailun City would have to spend more than a million crowns every month just to light up the streets. From this, one could see just how wealthy this city was.
As the street lamps were lit up, the dim ninth avenue became bright again.
The arrival of night did not make the streets deserted. On the contrary, the streets were more crowded with people.
Feng Chou strolled along the street, observing the bright display windows on both sides of the street.
Under the illumination of the dreamy magical lights, the cakes and pastries in the cake shop emitted an alluring luster.
In the clothing store, there were all kinds of gorgeous clothes, hats and bags inlaid with gems, and all kinds of new leather boots that reflected the luster of the light, which aroused the desire of the pedestrians to buy. A little girl was leaning against the window of a clothing store, looking at a red and blue checkered dress for children, unwilling to leave for a long time.
As he walked, Feng Chou suddenly stopped. A shop had attracted his attention.
This shop was called "Miller's Gun Shop". It was actually a shop that openly sold guns.
Feng Chou walked into the shop. The goods here were divided into different categories.
In the shop, there were long spears, short spears, single shot guns, double shot guns, and other different types of firearms.
Single-shot spears were the cheapest, but there was no lack of expensive ones. One of them was a rifled single-shot spear that was very expensive. According to the shop assistant, this single-shot spear could even pierce through secondary black steel armor. Of course, the prerequisite was that it wasn't enchanted.
A double shot gun was actually a double-barreled gun. Because of the weight of the gun barrel, this type of gun was generally not as powerful as a single-shot gun.
Short spears were also divided into single-barreled and double-barreled guns. Among them, double-barreled short spears were the most expensive. The shop assistant was also very enthusiastic when promoting them.
After looking around the shop, Feng Chou didn't see the product he was looking for.
He asked, "Why aren't there any … those police guns?"
When Feng Chou first arrived at Tyrone, he saw a different type of gun on the police here. It was a large revolver. This type of gun was very similar to the revolvers on Earth, but the revolver wasn't loaded with bronze shells. Instead, it was directly loaded with gunpowder and pellets. The large body of the gun was probably for the sake of maintaining its power.
Hearing Feng Chou's question, the shop assistant was shocked. He said, "Sir, that type of short spear is a special gun for the police. Ordinary people can't buy it."
Hearing this, Feng Chou left the gun shop a little disappointed.
He looked at the street as he walked, and his eyes gradually became blurry. Unknowingly, he had been in this world for more than ten years. His memories of Earth were even a little blurry and distant. The unfamiliar yet familiar street scene in front of him pulled these faded memories back to him.
Just as Feng Chou was lost in thought, a figure suddenly rushed out from a dimly lit alley to the side and pounced straight at Feng Chou.
Feng Chou, who was in a daze, reacted almost subconsciously according to the actual combat training in Qiankun Pagoda's illusion.
The ring on his finger flashed faintly, and he disappeared on the spot. Then, he appeared dozens of meters in the air. At the same time, Qiankun Pagoda had already blessed him with the Flying Spell. The ring on Feng Chou's finger flashed continuously, and three defensive spells were cast on him. At this time, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the figure who had fallen to the ground because he missed him. An invisible magic energy froze the person on the ground.
Just as Feng Chou let out a slight sigh of relief, two more figures rushed out from the alley. One of them flew and pounced on the person who had been pinned to the ground by Feng Chou's "Human Immobilization Spell". The other person held a huge revolver and stood a few meters away on guard. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Police, police handling a case!"
The pedestrians on the street didn't seem to be very afraid of the police handling a case. They looked from afar and pointed at the police while discussing.
The two police officers also seemed to be used to being watched and didn't have any excessive reactions. One of them held a gun on guard, and the other used shackles to lock the person who had been pinned to the ground by Feng Chou.
In the air, Feng Chou thought for a moment and looked at the huge revolver in the hands of the police officers. After confirming with Qiankun Pagoda that the revolver definitely couldn't break through the defensive spell on his body, he descended to the ground.
When the onlookers saw Feng Chou descending from the sky, their reaction was even more intense than when they saw the police catch a murderer. There was a commotion in the crowd, and many people turned and ran away. Only a few brave young people retreated a distance and carefully turned back to watch the show.
The two police officers' reaction was also very intense. The moment the police officer who was on guard saw Feng Chou, he suddenly retreated and hit the wall of the building before stopping. The police officer who was holding the prisoner simply abandoned the prisoner and got up. As he retreated, he pulled out his pistol and aimed at Feng Chou.
