"Dear Wu, last time you brought us a lot of good gifts from Lu Gaoyin. We thought it was appropriate to reciprocate, so we bought some gifts before we came back. You can't waste them. That’s our good intention.”
Saying this, Lal laughed arrogantly. Not only him, Doug and Geoff also moved to sit on either side of me, completely blocking my escape route. Then, the three old men Weasel Chicken Saying New Year greetings, he smiled evilly and took out a lot of stuff from his inventory.
For example, bread, jam bread, jam bread with strange shapes, jam bread with subtle taste...
, wasn’t it the last time I came back from Lu Gaoyin that I tricked them with bread? How come I still can’t forget it now? My whole heart is not as big as my asshole. Unlike men, especially you, Lal, in the pure daughter How about exposing your vengeful character in front of your virtuous wife?
"Well, it's not good. It's not like I've never been to Lu Gaoyin. Besides, I don't really like bread."
I coughed a few times and looked at the mountain of bread in front of me. Uh, is this an illusion? Some of the bread seems to be moving and crawling around on the table. If you eat all of these, you will die, even if you change jobs.
"How can this be done? Of course, we won't be so cruel. Three, at least three, just pick three from here and eat them."
Three? An act of naked revenge. I looked around and found that there were no three better breads in this pile of bread. No matter which one you picked up, you would think, "Why don't you pick for a while and see if you can find something safer inside?" Bread" fluke. \
Since you are unkind. Don't blame me for being unjust. Originally, I wanted to let the three of you hang out for a few more days to fully experience the joy of being alive. Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it...
"Okay, I'll just eat it, but..."
Hearing what I said, the faces of the three of them were filled with the joy of getting revenge, but they were soon discouraged by my protracted "but".
"I'm going to Kurast this time. Do you know Kurast? You haven't been there, right? I've brought back a lot of good things from there. I'm sure you haven't seen them. Let's exchange and exchange, so that we can Okay."
As soon as I finished speaking. The three old men immediately started to tremble in an inconspicuous manner, and Lal swallowed his saliva and pointed at me tremblingly. He said in a stern voice: "You want to lie to us again this time? There is no way."
"What are you talking about? How could I be the kind of person who puts my brothers in danger? Even if you don't believe me, you still have the character to believe me." Obviously, my words were criticized by three people at the same time.
"The gift I brought back this time is..."
I raised my hand and raised a basket high. It was an exquisite basket made of hard rattan. It contained round and lovely polar gray mushrooms of similar size and arranged neatly. There were also a lot of flowers on them. Decorated with tiny ribbons and flowers, the first impression you get is that they are high-end goods bought from a boutique. The packaging alone is worth a lot of money.
"Mushrooms? Hahaha----This is also considered a specialty of Kuras, something you can buy in Rogge's camp, hahaha----"
When the three of them discovered that it was filled with mushrooms, Lal immediately laughed wildly. In his opinion, it was like giving a piece of beautifully packaged pork to the owner of a pig farm. \
"This is not an ordinary mushroom, it is a mushroom that can only grow in Kurast." I said inscrutably.
"It's probably a poisonous mushroom again."
A big mouth also has the advantage of being a big mouth, that is, if you talk too much, you will always get some answers.
"etc."
Just when I was about to open my mouth to argue, Lal suddenly waved his hand and interrupted everyone. At this moment, he lowered his head, and his strong body seemed to be infinitely enlarged in our eyes. Only great master-level figures who have achieved unparalleled results in a certain field can exude an oppressive aura of strong confidence.
"Wu, do you know what I was called when I was a child?" Lal lowered his head and asked steadily and forcefully, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.
"I don't know." I was momentarily restrained by Lar's inexplicable aura, and shook my head blankly.
"When I was a child, my family was very poor, so as a young and sensible person, I often went out to pick edible things such as wild vegetables and mushrooms, so that the precarious family would not collapse. Over time..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at us with a serious look. No one dared to look at us. He nodded with satisfaction, took out a mushroom from the basket, and suddenly jumped He went to the table, raised the mushroom high, and made a "I am a superman" gesture. \
"Over time, people nearby began to call me a prairie man! The son of the big forest!! The little boy picking mushrooms!!!"
"Oh! Brother, good job." Doug and Geoff applauded one after another, and even little Sarah couldn't help but jump for joy. Her big crimson eyes blinked with water, and she showed her admiring gaze without hesitation. He voted for his father, making Lal, who was standing high on the table, look prouder and his posture straighter.
"therefore----"
Saying this, Lal reluctantly took back his "mighty as if a god descended to earth" posture, placed the mushroom in front of his eyes, played with it up and down and observed it for a while, sniffed it with his nose, and licked it, and then announced loudly.
"Based on years of experience and these piercing eyes, I swear in the name of grandpa, these mushrooms——"
My heart immediately jumped up. It was a miscalculation. It was such a miscalculation. I didn't expect that this guy Lal was hiding so much. This time, I was really on the receiving end of a gun.
“It’s not poisonous!!”
A touch. I fell to the ground.
"Wu, I didn't expect you really didn't lie to us this time. We misunderstood you. I'm so sorry." The three of them held my hand with tears in their eyes and apologized for their suspicion just now.
"Nothing, nothing. If you really want to apologize, then forget about these breads. How about that?" I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. \Said with a smile.
"No, one size equals one size, you still have to eat." The three refused in unison.
Damn it, these three bastards.
"Since Wu Yuan brought us a gift from thousands of miles away, it would be unreasonable not to eat it. Come on, let me show you my unique skills."
Seeing a basket of round and cute mushrooms, Lal almost drooled. Lu Gao, a paladin born and raised in the grasslands, could not endure the lack of vegetables and fruits. Although Doug and Geoff prefer to eat meat, they saw fresh and delicious mushrooms placed in front of them. They couldn't help but nodded desperately, so the three old men walked out the door carrying a basket of mushrooms. He also didn’t forget to invite Vilas, Sarah and Princess Sanwu to taste his craftsmanship.
"Remember to eat bread." Before going out, Laryu never forgot to turn around and remind me.
Then, I held the hands of Vilas and Sarah, shook my head, and motioned them not to follow. As for Princess Sanwu, she would never touch those mushrooms unless her brain suddenly short-circuited.
So, a few of us sat like this, like watching TV, watching through the window the three sticks tinkering in the yard, Geff lit a bonfire, and Lal got straight twigs from nowhere. , skewered fresh mushrooms mixed with meat pieces on top, sprinkled with some seasonings, and then placed them around the campfire. After everything was completed, three big men squatted next to them, drooling as they stared at the campfire as they gradually cooked and emitted bursts of fragrance. mushroom skewers.
"That's it. \" With a roar, Lar grabbed a bunch in one hand and put it into his mouth with all his strength. Doug and Geoff were even more exaggerated. Due to their size, they grabbed two bunches in one hand and could eat them in one bite. Halfway through, my mouth was so hot that I gasped, but I realized it was delicious.
In less than a minute, more than a dozen skewers were swept away by three people. They patted their bellies with unsatisfied intentions. Obviously, they had not eaten enough. However, it seemed that it didn't matter anymore. Soon, the three people fell in the yard like maggots. He was still rolling on the ground, muttering constantly. After about ten minutes, his body straightened up and there was no movement.
"So, you have to be careful with things that don't look poisonous, you know?"
I kissed each of the stunned Shala and Vilas on their pretty faces, then wiped out all the corpses on the table, and shared with everyone the delicious fruits I brought back from Kurast.
A few hours later, the three cops woke up one after another. "I seem to have had a dream." Lal rubbed his head, looking confused. The barbarian brothers were also scratching their heads.
"Brother, there is still half a basket of mushrooms here, what should I do?" Doug asked.
"This mushroom field tastes good. Keep it for dinner tonight." Lal said matter-of-factly, and Gefu nodded.
The tragedy of these three guys seems to be continuing. Lifting, he broke away from the hands and feet that were wrapped around his body like an octopus, and kissed the quiet and beautiful face that was still sleeping soundly. He got dressed, went out the door, stretched, and looked at The two white and tender little sheep fell involuntarily into the fence and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
In the morning on the grassland, the air is so good. After breathing for a few minutes, I feel that my body, mind and soul are full of vitality. The thin mist is blown by the breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, and the slightly moist and refreshing feeling makes people feel refreshed. . \
The residents of the camp usually get up very early to make a living. The early morning fog has not completely dispersed, and there are already many people coming and going on the street. Pairs of cheerful patrol soldiers pass by in neat rows. They stand down and join me. The peaceful scene greeting people almost makes people forget the fact that this is a cruel world full of blood and killing.
When I approached Akara's tent, my steps slowed down. When I listened carefully, there was a faint noise inside. Am I really the last one to come? Sighing, I couldn't escape anyway, so I simply quickened my pace again and strode towards the tent.
Just opened the tent door. Immediately, two eyes met, that of Akara and Kashadi. Although Akara is blind, when she faces you, you will feel a stronger sense of being observed than ordinary people's eyes.
The other two elders are the miser Farah and the bookworm Kane. But he didn't pay attention to me. The two wanted to fight cocks and looked at each other angrily. The vague noise just now was the two of them arguing.
"What's wrong?" I poked Kasha.
"The miser's optimized long-distance teleportation array has been studied."
The old drunkard curled his lips and said, smelling of alcohol, if you drink alcohol early in the morning, you will die in a barrel sooner or later.
"This is a good thing. What are these two people arguing about?"
"The research has been done.\ But the question is how to use it. The miser suggested to popularize it slowly. There is no need to rush it, but Kane wants to popularize it as soon as possible. This can reduce the freight and the price of paper. That's it." The drunkard yawned, such a thing to her. It doesn't matter what happens.
So that's it, I murmured to myself and glanced at Akara, only to find that she was sitting there silently, drinking the refreshing water with a smile on her face, looking calm and composed.
"If speed becomes popular too fast and all adventurers know about it, what will happen then? If they are not allowed to use it, they will definitely be dissatisfied. If they are allowed to use it and run around, won't the whole world be in chaos? "
Farah puffed his beard and glared at Kane, with a look of disdain as if your brain was filled with water.
"This is a problem with the operation of your Mage Guild. I didn't say that I should publicize it in a big way. Why not come secretly? If your Mage Guild can't even hide this thing, then you might as well go home and win the sweet potato."
"It's easy to talk about it. You can try it when the time comes, old madman."
"Okay, if you are able, you can leave the Mages Guild to me, and I will show you how to do it, silly old man."
"If the Mage Bus is left to someone like you to take care of it, it will collapse within three days."
"Don't worry, at least I can support it for three days. If you say it, I will probably be ordered to disband tomorrow."
"What did you say?" Farah looked furious.
"Are you so sad that you can't understand people?" Kane is indeed a veteran, and he is very good at talking. \
A large number of old men from the two grades stopped talking. They leaned slightly and circled each other, making an attack pattern like sumo wrestlers confronting each other. They glared at each other, seemingly wanting to use force to solve the problem. He swung a few times, and then looked at Kane with a sneer. In the past few fierce battles, he suffered the disadvantage of not having a weapon in his hand. As a result, Kane's crutch left many marks on his head. Now But it's different.
Facing Farah's provocation, Kane sneered disdainfully and suddenly pressed his crutch. It seemed that something had been triggered. The head of the stick fell off, leaving a straight and even stick more than one meter long, and then this stick. The stick broke from the middle and became two pieces. The two sticks broke from the middle again, but this time they were not completely separated, but were pulled together by the chain.
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Kane's crutch turned into a pair of nunchucks. He held one in each hand and started swinging it rapidly. Suddenly, there were shadows of sticks and loud whistling sounds all around him. Looking at his skillful appearance, There's nothing you can't do if you practice hard for two or three years.
Finally, he put the stick away, clamped it on his left and right ribs, and made a threatening sound towards the stunned Farah opposite. At this moment, Kane was already protected by Bruce Lee.
"Just fight, who are you to be afraid of? Don't think that you are a master after learning one or two moves." After a pause, Farah's face darkened, and he also danced with the cane in his hand loudly, playing with sticks, and took the lead in facing Kai. Favor and difficulty.
"Crackling----"
The whole tent was suddenly filled with shadows of sticks and broken pots, and we moved the table to the corner early, holding cups, sipping the refreshing water, and watching expressionlessly the two old men coming and going. The fight was so enjoyable. \
Finally, Kane was exhausted and retreated first. He gasped and put away his crutches. He knew the opportunity and knew that the old man Farah was a level 8 mage. Although he suppressed his strength to fight with himself, his physical strength and recovery ability were He couldn't restrain himself, so he hit Farah twice on the head, and then he also received a blow on his waist. Just give it up and stop.
"What, stop fighting?"
The old drunkard smacked his lips with a rather regretful expression. This kind of scene was rare.
The two old men glared at Kasha angrily, and then turned their attention to Akara. Obviously it was up to her, the great elder, to speak out.
He took a slow sip. Akela glanced at the two of them with white eyes, and spoke with a faint smile.
"About the matter of teleportation. We can't rush it for the moment. If the adventurers of Harrogas are allowed to return to the Rogge camp at will, wouldn't the camp be in chaos? But if they are not allowed to use it, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction. Therefore, We have to set the rules first. They will not only make the adventure satisfying, but also prevent chaos in each adventure area. Therefore, it is better not to expose this matter for the time being."
Hearing Akara say this, Farah suddenly became happy. He glanced at Kane and said, "Old madman, have you seen it?" I still have foresight, though. Before she could finish feeling proud, Akara continued to speak.
"However, Kane's suggestion is not bad. Not to mention that it can popularize paper books in large quantities. Moreover, it is also a good opportunity for our Rogge camp to make money. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. That's it. The magic circle should not be popularized yet, but it can Passing the paper secretly.\" At this point, Akara showed the unique smile of a "smuggler". Smuggling, I dare not say it is the most profitable industry, but it is definitely one of the most profitable industries.
Hearing what Akara said, Farah's old face suddenly became bitter: "But paper can't stop the fire. If you do this too much, I'm afraid it will spread sooner or later."
If something goes wrong then, don't you have to take action against yourself as the president?
"The amount doesn't need to be too big. Let's discuss this matter later and come up with a better solution." Akara said without a doubt that she would never let go of this good opportunity to make money.
After hearing what she said, Farah muttered a few words in a low voice and could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, Wu is here, let's start the meeting now."
Akara clapped his hands gently, and after everyone sat down, his blind eyes suddenly faced me.
"Wu, I have to apologize to you for hiding things about Kurast from you. I hope you can forgive me."
Unexpectedly, Akara directly cut into the topic that I had always been worried about. With a forced smile, I could only shake my head.
"Sir Akara, I understand. There is no one to blame for this. I believe you must have been very unwilling when you made this choice." Yes, unless you are a fool, no leader would give up more than sixty precious people in vain. What about soldiers going to die?
"This is the helplessness of being an elder. There are many things that we are not allowed to be emotional about. If I were given another choice, I would still do it. Wu, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but I may not be able to do it. It seems that I, as an elder, am not qualified for my job."
"There are some things that only you can do." Akara said meaningfully.
Then, the meeting without much nutrition began. It was nothing more than Akara and Kane reporting on the situation in the camp and other places. Kasha reported on the military forces in the training area and camp. As for Farah, he was responsible for optimizing the remote teleportation array. It has just been completed, and there is nothing to say yet. I, on the other hand, told the story of Kurast’s operation. Although they already knew the general details, after all, I, the person involved, can only tell the details one by one. tell.
Near noon, this thirsty meeting came to a halt after everyone took turns to discuss it, so I took the opportunity to ask.
"By the way, what exactly is Old Galen good at, and why do you value him so much?"
Old man Gallon? Akara and the others looked at each other with wry expressions on their faces.
"It's hard to explain clearly. You will know soon. He is a Druid master. Maybe he is not as good at combat as you think, but for my understanding of the Druid profession, I But I can guarantee that he is definitely the number one person in the entire Dark Continent, and you will definitely learn a lot by following him."
Akara explained eloquently, and his tone even contained the same sincere admiration and respect as when he mentioned Yalandlan, the great elder of the elves.
Oh, this old man Galen, who seems to be a master, is really so amazing. After hearing what Akara said, I became more and more interested in what I could learn from him.
At this point, the meeting seemed to be over, but Akara did not speak. There was a weird atmosphere in the tent, as if the other four people were hiding something from me, and I felt very unhappy.
"Wu, we have something to discuss with you. No, we are asking you to agree." Finally, in the silent atmosphere, Akara's soft voice rang out.
"Whatever it is, tell me and I will think about it."
Seeing Akara's serious expression, I felt uneasy. Although I was very pleased that she didn't hide anything, what exactly was it that deserved Akara's caution? Could it be something that would embarrass me again? , judging from her appearance, she must be right.
"Dear Wu, I hope that you can make some sacrifices for the cooperation between the alliance and the elves." Akara sighed and said slowly.
"Just tell me what is going on, Mr. Akara." My expression gradually calmed down. It was a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided.
"I hope you can become the prince of the elves..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"That is, marrying the Elf Queen..."
