"As for your test of obtaining Kurast's teleportation, I haven't thought about it yet..."
Hey, Akara, can I directly destroy this Indian Asan? You won’t blame me, right? You should support me for the future of the Dark Continent.
Seeing my unkind look, Onas quickly added.
"But it's just right. Kurast has had some small problems recently. I don't need to worry too much about it. Let's just regard it as this test. How about I be loyal and let it be such an easy test?" Teach you, maybe you should be grateful to stay and learn from me what real humor is..."
"What exactly went wrong?"
I took a deep breath and completely ignored what Omas said. Just listen to one-third, no, one-tenth of what he said.
"Oh, that's it. I can't explain this for a moment, so come with me first." Seeing that the other party failed to live up to his expectations, Omus sighed, as if he had lost another comedian to the Dark Continent. Artists feel lost.
Under the leadership of Omas, we moved several platforms and finally came to a very large platform. There seemed to be a lot of guards here. The most eye-catching thing was a pyramid-shaped tower rising high in the center of the platform. Omus told me that this is the central platform of the central area of Kurast and the hub of the entire Kurast.
There are many white magic circle patterns around the entire tower. Black-robed mages are constantly coming in and out of it. They don't know what outrageous things the old man has done. After seeing Omas, these mages, no matter what No matter how busy they are, they can't help but stop and roll their eyes at him. It can be seen in their eyes that they have the urge to rush to beat the old man. Sure enough, the heroes have the same vision. Comrade! !
"Look what's on top of the tower?"
It is estimated that Omas's face is comparable to that of the two men in the camp. Faced with the sharp gazes of many mages, he was able to ask me questions as if it was nothing, while waving to them with a smile, looking like a big shot, as if he was under the influence. Like a beloved religious leader.
I looked up toward the top of the tower. A transparent crystal ball about one meter in diameter is held on the top of the tower. There seemed to be an unknown transparent liquid rolling inside.
"There is a crystal ball. What's wrong?" I nodded. Indicated that he saw it.
"Then do you know what the defense system of our Kurast harbor is like?" There is no doubt. This is since I came into contact with this old man. The most rigorous thing he said.
"I don't know. But the wall can be excluded."
I replied, shaking my head. But at least one thing is certain. It is the terrain of Kurast Harbor. It is absolutely impossible to build a high wall like Rogge Camp and Lugoin.
"That's right. Therefore, our defense of Kurast Harbor relies entirely on the power of magic. It is the magic defense system created by this magic tower to prevent the invasion of demons."
"I see, does that have anything to do with my mission this time?"
"That's it. Regarding this magic tower, in order to maintain the magic system, we have to inject power into it every three months, but now..."
"What's going on now?" Seeing Omas's hesitation, I couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, every ritual that injects power requires an item. Only by relying on this item can we convert mana into energy that the magic tower can consume. But as you can see, the item originally placed in the crystal ball The items are gone now." Ormus said, pointing to the empty inside of the crystal ball on the top of the tower.
"Is it my job to find this object?"
"Yes."
"Then can you tell me in detail, what is the name of this item, what are its characteristics, the time and place of disappearance, who was there at the time, and who is the most likely person. If you already know who took it, that would be great. But that’s it.” I geared up, assuming the aura of a gangster violently collecting debts.
"The name of this thing is the Skathin Blade, and we also call it Gidbin. It looks like a diamond-shaped dagger. As for the story of its disappearance, it's a long story."
Omas sighed for an unknown number of times, with a sad look in his eyes, as if there was really something terrible going on inside. One morning that month. it's clear. It was cloudless and I got up early. Just preparing to make breakfast..."
Hey hey, what's going on with the exposition form of this diary? Which day of the month is it? Tell me clearly, old man. Please be serious for ten more seconds, you bastard.
I already have a bad feeling.
"But suddenly! I found that my kitchen knife was missing!!" Omas showed an exaggerated expression of shock and hurriedly covered his chest, as if he suddenly discovered that his heart was missing.
The bad premonition seems to be coming true.
"In desperation, I had to secretly take out Gidebin instead."
How helpless are you? Borrow it from your neighbor, you bastard! Go to the blacksmith and buy it, old man! ! Are you the kind of idiot who replaces the fly swatter with a cannon?
"After using it, I forgot to put it back. It wasn't until a few days ago when I was about to prepare for the three-monthly power injection ceremony that I suddenly remembered that I wanted to find it but found that it was gone."
"that's all?"
"that's all!"
It’s such a long story, you’re so sentimental, this is obviously something you did yourself, take responsibility for it! !
"Okay, I understand." I finally understood why those mages rolled their eyes at the old man.
"You finally understand?" Omus was very happy. This young man is very enlightened.
"I'm going to suggest Akara to replace the person in charge of Kurast now, and buy a hundred and eighty kitchen knives for you as a spare, so you can rest assured and take care of yourself." I turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, little elder!!"
Omas suddenly held my hand and cried bitterly, refusing to let go. Damn, he even wanted to wipe his nose and tears away. I stepped on it!
"You can't be like this. When this person gets old, he will always be forgetful or something. Can't you understand a little bit?"
"It is precisely because I understand that I let you go home to retire."
"Oh, no, you can't do this. If Akara finds out, she will stuff me into the sinking demon's pot."
From what I know about Akara. She is indeed someone who would do such a thing.
"Okay, I'll just help you for a while. Let go of your hand, old man." I sighed helplessly. Anyway, I wanted to complete the long-distance transmission test, so I thought it was a kindness to win over this damn Indian Asan. Just a handful.
"Do you have any clues now?" After thinking for a while, I tried to see if I could find any clues from him, but I didn't have any expectations.
"I think it should be those dwarfs working the land. I remember there were rumors a few days ago that a few dwarfs broke in, and many people lost their things."
Unexpectedly, Omus provided such a clue. But it's not of much use. There are more than hundreds of millions of dwarfs in the entire tropical forest. Finding out is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Apart from this, Omas also didn’t know anything about it.
"So when is the power infusion ceremony held once every three months?"
"Twenty days later."
"Do we have to find it within twenty days? Damn it!!"
I frowned. Even with the protagonist's halo, this is simply forcing someone to do something difficult, but if it is not found, the whole of Kurast will be in crisis. What did this damn old man do? Definitely have to withdraw.
"Twenty days? Did I say that? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you look for it for a year, oh chichi chichi----"
"What? What about the defense system?!" The unexpected answer made me dumbfounded.
Then, Omas took out a short diamond-shaped blade about half a meter long from nowhere. The blade, like a work of art, emitted a faint golden light, which made people intoxicated.
"Because there is a spare one! Oh chichi chichi----"
I understand, I finally understand, this old man did it on purpose. He deliberately said these words to make me unbearable to complain. He originally planned to let me join his strange (funny) organization. He did this deliberately in order to awaken a certain part of my soul in order to train me into a The purpose of a famous comedian.
It's terrible. This scheming is really terrible. The guy who can become the person in charge is really not an ordinary person. I underestimated him before and thought he was just a crazy old man just for fun.
After discovering Omas's conspiracy. I reacted immediately. After deciding to kill him and stop getting into his trap, he accepted the task neatly. I immediately ran away.
"Little elder, I forgot to tell you, I also sell potions here." Omas's voice came from far behind.
Potion? I don’t need this thing. I have enough to use as bath water. Besides, you want to sell me the potion of complaining. That’s right, old man. I won’t be fooled again. I quickened my pace and put Omus’ The figure was thrown around the corner.
"Hey, it's a pity. It's rare to find a young man with potential." Looking at the other person's figure hurried away, Omus sighed.
"What does it matter if there is one more adventurer and one less adventurer? The Dark Continent will not be saved or collapsed because of such a person. Why should everyone understand it? This miserable world actually needs the support of a smile."
It wasn't until I left the central platform that I breathed a sigh of relief. These guys were all as cunning as foxes. If that didn't work, Thorne wouldn't go there for the time being. Let's find a place to stay first.
The place I am talking about is naturally not a hotel, no matter how high-end it is, because staying in a hotel always gives me a sense of loneliness, let alone staying here for more than a year. You have to buy your own home.
To put it bluntly, I am investing in real estate. Hmm, how about it? Take a long-term view.
While looking at the map, I took a boat to the South District. The South District and North District of Kurast are both residential areas, but the difference is that the South District is where the rich live, and the North District is where the poor live. , The poor are not the same as the rich, this is the same no matter where you are. Even the Rogge camp has begun to show signs of this.
Since we were in the central area, it only took less than half an hour to reach our destination. As soon as we stepped onto the platform in the south area, two attentive figures approached us.
A tour guide again? I squinted my eyes slightly.
This thing is as ubiquitous as the taxis outside the airport. It is indeed of great help to newcomers. When I first arrived in Lugaoyin, I met Tuoke. I didn't expect that there are two of them now.
"Sir, please allow me to serve you. Believe me, I am the best tour guide in the whole of Kurast." A relatively tall and thin man took advantage of his body size and came up to him first. However, he was immediately followed by a shorter and fatter man behind him. , the lame guy squeezed out.
"No, dear Sir. Don't listen to him. I, Cripple Sk, am the best tour guide in Kurast. Tell me your instructions. Even if you want to find a mouse here, I can still serve you. "
For the sake of money, do you not even care about the dignity of the adventurer? A faint cold air shrouded the two wretched men who were arguing with each other and even started to fight. They were suddenly shocked and stopped, realizing that the person in front of them was an adventurer who could kill them at any time.
"There's no need to argue, you two can lead the way together."
Throw a handful of gold coins on the ground. Seeing the two people lying on the ground fighting for each other, I couldn't help but feel a little chilled. If I hadn't gained the power of a job changer after traveling through time, would I be even more miserable than them now?
Shaking his head, he gave up these impossible thoughts. At this time, the two local snakes had finished dividing the spoils, and the thin man bowed humbly.
"I wonder if you come here to find someone. Or do you want to find a house?" The adventurers who come here have only these two purposes.
"Looking for a house."
"You've found the right person now. When it comes to houses, I'm the best at it."
The fat man said proudly, and the thin man did not refute. I don't know if this was really the case or because they were partners now and there was no need to argue with each other. They were despicable, but not stupid. Many times the fights are just staged. Just a smile for blogging purposes.
Guided by two people, I strolled around the South District. There are hundreds of platforms here, and if you really want to walk them all, it will take three or two days. Therefore, having a local snake who is familiar with this place to lead the way will undoubtedly save a lot of time.
Naturally, the residential area of Kurast cannot be compared with that of Lugaoin. Of course, this does not mean that the Kurast people are much poorer than the Lugaoin people, but that they are restricted by the terrain here. In a dark and humid place like a swamp, , No matter how beautiful the house is, it still needs to be discounted. After listening to my request for the house, Crippleske's eyes lit up and his face looked happy.
"That's great. I happen to know that there is such a house that will definitely satisfy adults."
Under the leadership of Laizi Sk, we came to a two-story stone villa---the whole was built with the unique hard ground flower rainstone here, and the outer layer was evenly smeared with a layer of moisture-proof red mud. It looked like It does look a bit unique. There is a yard in front of the villa, but due to the swamp climate, there are no beautiful plants planted in it, and it looks a bit lifeless.
Yes, although it cannot be compared with Lu Gaoyin's house, it is already the most satisfying house I have seen after walking around for so long, but...
I looked at the chimney on the red tile roof of the villa and pointed at the white smoke rising from inside.
"Is this what you call uninhabited?"
"How... how is it possible? I just confirmed it this morning. It's clear that there is no one there." Sk looked at me with a somewhat hesitant expression and murmured. Suddenly he opened the door like crazy and walked through. Yard, about to enter the house to see what happened.
"Bang----"
Just as Sk's hand reached for the door handle, the door suddenly opened, knocking Sk out and falling to the side. A petite white figure walked out of the house and looked at us intruders with emotionless eyes. , and then slowly, with that elegant pace full of aristocratic style, he came to me.
I stared blankly at the figure in front of me. She was wearing a slim-fitting white robe, with golden patterns dotted around the edge. It looked simple yet luxurious, and an overly big bun-shaped hat was placed on her small head. , So soft and soft that people want to reach out and touch it. The white gauze veil covers the entire small face, only revealing a pair of emotionless bright golden eyes.
"Welcome back, Master."
The thin man on the side was also confused by the current situation. The house that was supposed to be vacant was now bought by someone, and the person who bought the house also called the person who wanted to buy the house the owner. What exactly is this? ah.
"Okay, you... you can go back." I waved to him. It was only now that I realized that I still didn’t know the name of the thin man. This was the fate of passers-by.
"By the way, let's take him away too." I threw a small bag of gold coins to the thin man and pointed to the lame man Sk who was unconscious on the ground.
"How come you, little one, are here?"
After the two left, only Morissa and I were left. I immediately rubbed my hands on her soft hat. I really wanted to turn the hat upside down and cover her whole head. I thought of it all maliciously, while Princess Sanwu raised her little hands and kept arranging the hat that I had messed up, but before she could sort it out, I messed it up again. Therefore, her current behavior looks like a poor white mouse running in vain in a tumbler.
She was obviously told to stay in Lugaoyin, at least until I completed the long-distance teleportation test in Kurast before picking her up. Why is she disobedient? The sea is so dangerous. What should I do if something unexpected happens? Can't this little guy be a little considerate of my mood?
After finally bullying Princess Sanwu, I entered the house under her leadership. I was surprised to find that except for the different structure of the house. The furnishings inside were not much different from Lu Gaoyin's home. Of course I wouldn't think that this was just a coincidence. It was obvious that this little guy had been prepared for it.
"By the way, how did you know I would choose this place?" Following her, I asked curiously. If Sk took me to another house, wouldn't she be busy?
"Intelligence is very important."
Princess Sanwu replied briefly while walking. My hands were still arranging the messed up hat on my head.
"Small, quiet, and exquisite. Based on the information about the surrounding houses, I analyzed the owner's personality and made a very simple inference..."
At this moment, if Princess Sanwu had a pair of glasses on her eyes, I'm sure she would be a humanoid terminal interface that looked like it was made by the unified thought body.
Lying on the familiar lounge chair, I groaned comfortably. A question suddenly occurred to me.
"By the way. During that storm, you must have been the one who helped me from behind."
Moissa placed her precious teacups and teapots on the table. She paused for a moment, turned around, and looked at me who was staring at her with bright yellow eyes.
"Yes, the master is angry?"
He warned her several times not to follow her, but she still couldn't help sneaking onto the ship. As a maid, she was seriously disqualified. Even if she was angry, even if she was punished, there was nothing wrong with her.
"You……"
I sighed helplessly, walked to her side and looked at the petite girl in front of me, and then gently held her soft and fragrant body in my arms.
"Although I was disobedient, I did really well this time."
If she hadn't helped me at that time, I might not have had the confidence to hold on until the little mermaid showed her power.
"Thank you, little guy, you helped me a lot." He kissed her gently on the forehead and rubbed her little head for a while before letting her go.
"nothing……"
Moissa's expression was still indifferent, as if she had no feeling at all about my recent intimacy.
"It's dinner time, please wait a moment, Master." After a pause, she walked away with a slightly mechanical pace, a little faster than her usual inquiring pace.
Hey, the little guy is shy. It's really interesting. Watching her leave from behind, I couldn't help but snicker. After spending so much time with her, I can now tell a little bit about what this little guy is thinking--- -Don't look at her face, you will never judge her feelings from there, but the difference in the subtle movements in daily life, for example now...
Hey, little Mosha, in front! Front! ! That's a wall. Before I could even say a word to remind her, Morissa bumped into me with the momentum of a rabbit waiting for it, and made a very crisp impact sound.
After rubbing his sore little nose, the little guy readjusted his direction without seeming to care and walked faster towards the door. As a result...
Just as he walked to the door, his feet were knocked down by something unknown, and the front half of his body fell forward with great momentum, and his whole body was stuck to the floor, which was the best interpretation of the five-body throw to the ground.
