Volume 2 Chapter 156 The Twin Towers
"Don't kid you, this is the new food I just got across in a small town called Novirola just outside the door. This is a northern specialty, you promise you haven't eaten it, come, try it, I'm sure you won't regret it. ”
Thor didn't bother with the sword on his shoulder, turned and placed the plate on a small stone platform on the ground, then crouched down and cut the meat himself, wrapped it in soup, and handed it to Anne Baez.
Looking at the slightly tender green slices of meat on the fork, Anne Baez frowned and sniffed, it was indeed the fragrance she had just smelled in her sleep. He subconsciously stretched out his little tongue and licked it, and then chewed it in his mouth reluctantly.
As soon as the food was eaten, her eyes lit up unsurprisingly.
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Thor looked at her with a smile.
"You, come here, lie here. Anne Baez tapped her toe on the ground beside her.
"Lying on the ground?...... What to do?" Thor was a little shocked.
"It's rude to eat in a squat, so I need a seat, and what if you run away while I'm eating?" Anne Baez's tone was still cold, but her eyes were a little mischievous.
In fact, she didn't stay here to wait for Thor, just now the female mage in the team found her, saying that although the process was a bit thrilling, fortunately she got rid of the lost child, and all the team members were safe.
Now that the team members are gathering and heading to the dungeon, she will see if the captain needs help.
Anne Baez was also a little tired after chasing Thor for a day, so she wanted to rest here and wait for the team members, who knew that she would fall asleep unconsciously, but she didn't expect Thor to dare to run back.
Although he probably doesn't have to die now, remembering that this guy actually dares to take advantage of himself, and the random teleportation scrolls used by the team are also counted on his head, Anne Baez wants to find a chance to torture him.
"When you think too much about the seat or something, it's impossible! It's really troublesome, forget it, I'll feed you, it won't taste good if you lose the heat." Thor sat cross-legged on the ground and sliced the lizard, passing it one by one with a fork.
Anne Baez subconsciously crouched beside Thor, stretching out her mouth and tugging from time to time.
Saul felt that this girl was very strange, and she would not be as shy as an ordinary girl when she fed her, and even had a blank face, and the whole contact process today also gave people a cold feeling.
But at this moment, looking at her bowing her head and chewing quietly, Thor suddenly had a sense of seeing the cat, which was very interesting.
"It's a nice view from the north, how about we?" Why don't we hold hands and take a look?" said Saul teasingly.
"Hand in hand, if I cut off your hands and put chains around your neck, I might think about it. Anne Baez replied flatly.
It's cruel, Thor's neck shrinks subconsciously.
"It's useless, you can't do it at all, give up, even if you catch me, I have countless ways to escape. Just now when you were sleeping, or just poisoning your food, how many times did you count how many times I killed you today?" Thor smiled.
"Then why did you come back? You're not the kind of person who would honestly throw himself into the net. Anne Baez tilted her head.
"Actually, it's best to clear up the misunderstanding, and I do have a question for you, because you said you're from the main city of Odrenza. Saul explained.
"I once encountered a group of enemies around my hometown who claimed to be from Odrenza, and their ranks were strong and strong, and several classes worked together. The captain was a third-order heavy shieldman, and the other members were all second-order, but they ran to the border wilderness to embarrass me, a small first-order at the time. Thor gave a general explanation.
"Then how did you, a First Order, escape the encirclement and suppression on this scale?" Anne Baez was a little surprised.
"It was just a fluke, but I later inquired with the people in the town, and it is said that this group of people has been in the town for a while, and it seems that they are specifically trying to deal with me. And it is said that they are all dressed in black, not casually in robes, but all over. ”
"This kind of formed squad, so I want to ask you if there are any forces in Oderentina that have this kind of strength. Saul asked what he had been wondering about, but he didn't have much hope, after all, the main city of Odrenza was so big, and there were no birds.
"Dressed in black...... You can't be talking about the Dark Cross, are you?"
Seeing Thor turn his head in confusion, Anne Baez explained.
"The Dark Cross is roughly the law enforcement team in the Dark Council system, mainly to maintain law and order in the southern territories and other issues. ”
"For example, each realm has to pay a monthly tax to the local Inquisition, but some lords may have other ideas. That's when the law enforcement team steps in, flexes their muscles, and gets things back on track. ”
"They have their own internal mission issuing agency, and the difficulty of the mission is divided into five levels of ABCDE, the CDE belongs to the stage of the Dark Cross team, and the squadron of the Dark Cross is usually more active in the B-level mission, and at the same time it is close to the AC two levels. ”
"As for A-rank missions, it is not common, and the Dark Cross Brigade is in charge, but that level of mission can almost be said to change the pattern of the continent. Anne Baez gave examples one by one.
"So, they work for the Dark Council?" Thor asked, frowning.
"It's a half-mercenary semi-official nature, usually they mainly solve local problems for the Dark Council, but in their private leisure they also seem to take on some personal tasks. Anne Baez thought for a moment and replied.
Half-mercenaries?Does that mean they can deal with anyone as long as there is a bounty, could it be that someone is using them against them?
"Then what do you think a guy like me would be at if someone secretly targeted him and put up the Dark Cross bounty list?"
"Not to mention the first order you were at that time, even if you are now in the second order, it is estimated that you are not even qualified to enter the E-order bounty. Anne Baez said with disdain.
Looks like it's underestimated!
Thor stood up amusedly, and suddenly found Anne Baez crouching there quietly with her knees crossed.
"I'm running away now, aren't you chasing me?" Thor was puzzled.
"For the sake of the lizard meat, let you go today, let me meet you next time, I know you and my sword is not easy to say. Anne Baez replied.
"Then I'll wander to Odrenza and play with you!" Thor greeted cheekily.
"Whoever wants to play with you, get out of here! Anne Baez gave a nice roll of her eyes.
Back on the streets of Novirola, Thor took the name of the Dark Cross to heart.
Theoretically, he could use Novirora as a new starting point for his journey, but Teemo and the Mule brothers were still on the southern side, and Thor was going to visit the northern bazaar first, and then consider where to go after receiving them.
"Oh my God, this is an ambra from Niles' Territory in the South, and it's of high quality. The owner of a musical instrument shop in the town was amazed by the sight of Saul's goods.
Thor himself didn't expect that he had purchased twenty ambra in Niles' territory, and he hadn't had time to sell them in the ancient capital of Karot, so he didn't expect that it would be so popular in the north now.
The Ambra violin, which originally cost twenty silver wolves each, has tripled here, and has been eaten by the owner of the musical instrument store who knows the goods, and has also received full gratitude and enthusiasm from the boss.
When he arrived at the market in Novirola, Saul's joy fell to the bottom.
Just one shopping street can be seen at a glance, this pitiful scale is really on par with Grey Curtain Town, and there is not much hope for Thor to arouse his interest, so let's take a stroll.
Unexpectedly, after walking around, Thor really found a little gadget.
"What is this recipe?" Thor asked, pointing to an old-looking potion recipe at a stall.
The stall owner was a strange scarred man, and Thor could feel his third-order aura. Theoretically, the other party's strength will obviously be an adventurer, of course, it may also be that setting up a stall is just a side hustle for the other party's interests.
"The Wizard's Eye. The stall owner stared indifferently into the distance, not even giving him a look to attract business.
"What's the use of the wizard's eye?" asked Thor subconsciously.
"In the past, it was usually used to seek enemies, and after drinking it, you could see inside the room from outside, but now, you can also use it to see through women's clothes. "The stall owner still looks like he is not salty.
Looking at the preparation materials marked on the formula, Thor didn't even talk about the price, and the thirty silver wolf swept away decisively. As for the method and process of preparation, you need to buy the recipe and open it to see it.
Thor decided that he had a reason to buy it, and that seeking enemies, or observing the environment, would be an important part of his adventure. As for see-through women's clothes or something, that's definitely not Thor's purpose, well, absolutely not.
In the blink of an eye, Thor was attracted to something else in the stall.
From the outside, it looks like a small magic tower, but it has a slightly ornate inscription and a meticulous craftsmanship that makes it look more like a work of art.
"What is this?" said Thor.
"The Magic Tower. "The stall owner is still dead.
"What's the use of me asking?" Thor's cheeks twitched, anyone could tell it was a miniature magic tower, Thor thought it seemed to be an ornament.
"You've got too many questions, it's my turn now, do you have any money?" the stall owner snapped.
Thor looked around, it should be ...... You won't be robbed on the street, will you?
Then Thor shook his hand, and a bright dragon's eye spread out in his palm.
The stall owner glanced at him faintly, without any greedy look, and the whole person turned to face Thor for the first time.
"Just a dragon's eye and take it!" said the stall owner as he prepared to roll up the stall.
Thor was a little speechless, why did the god have one dragon's eye? He suspected that if he took out both dragon's eyes, the stall owner's price would definitely become 'just two dragon's eyes'. And the way you talk about closing the stall here, this is the rhythm of running away.
"Let's be honest, it was stolen from the secret treasure room of the Imperial Capital of the Knight's Country. But I'm not a hands-on person, and it took a few hands for this thing to get to me, and it's such a pitiful price. The stall owner explained, looking at Thor's expression.
"I don't care if it's stolen goods or whatever, I'm asking for use. Thor clasped his hands and sneered, you just blow it hard, I think you can still make your broken stall bloom.
"This is the Twin Towers, to be exact, this is the Teleportation Tower. The stall owner replied solemnly.
