Fear can make people know awe, and Merlin is deliberately trying to scare this older boy about her own age, so that he does not speak untruthfully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My lord, what do you command?" said Meco, uneasy.
He would rather face a great swordsman than a wizard, after all, the great swordsman was angry and slashed him with a sword at most, and the wizard ...... What if you turn him into a frog, dead or alive?
"It's a nearby hunter, right? I have a few questions for you, and if you know, tell me honestly, if I find out you're lying to me...... See, that pile of ashes is your example. ”
I really don't know what was going on in Mayko's head, pointing to the pile of ashes, threatening the teenager who was already obviously starting to be afraid.
These hunters have been hunting in the wild all year round, and they are very sensitive to some movements or dangers around them, and they are almost instinctive, perhaps he knows the traces of the dark wizard.
"My lord, if I had known it, I would have told you, and I swear in my father's honor that there will never be a lie. ”
Merco immediately raised his hand and swore, glancing at the ashes on the ground that had been scattered by the wind, and he prayed inwardly that the terrible wizard would not think beyond his knowledge.
"There's a porcupine valley around here, right? ”
"Yes. ”
"There's a lot of porcupines in there?"
"Yes, there are about 10,000 of them, and they are one of our main sources of prey, but recently those porcupines have been a little restless, and many hunters have been injured. ”
"I didn't ask you, don't talk nonsense. Is there a dark wizard around here?"
After a slight pause, finding that the other party was a little dissatisfied with his hesitation, Mei Ke quickly nodded.
"Yes, my lordship, a group of unidentified people have indeed arrived in the Porcupine Valley in the last few days, most of them are wearing gray robes, but one of them is wearing black robes, the same outfit as the rumored dark wizards. ”
"Sure enough......"
Sure enough, it was in Porcupine Valley, "So, what else do you know about these dark wizards?"
"This ...... To be honest, I may not be able to give an answer that meets your expectations. Meko said with a stumbling voice.
"Cunning little imp ......"
She pulled out a money pouch and shook it in her hand, and then threw it at Meco, "This is the reward, if you can tell me what you know, this bag of gold coins will be yours." ”
"So many ......"
Although it was not opened to see, Mei Ke roughly estimated the number...... That's what his dad can earn back in two or three years. Although a little scared, Mei Ke still mustered up the courage to make his request: "Excuse me, are you going to carry out the mission of Porcupine Valley?"
"Sort of. Why, you're working with me too?"
"Yes, my lordship. I'm old enough to leave Orange to complete the Hunter's Trial. Only by completing this task can you return to the village. So I very much hope that you will allow me to join this mission. ”
"I said, have you lived enough, this kid, to negotiate terms with me?" This time, Mei Lin was not angry, she felt that this little hunter was quite bold, knowing their identity and putting forward such conditions.
"Back to you, I'm really scared, but if it's under normal circumstances, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the Hunter Trial Quest in two years, and it's shameful for the villagers who haven't been recognized by the village, and I happen to have such a good opportunity today, I can't let go of anything.
Because I know the inside of Porcupine Valley, I can save you some unnecessary travel, and although I can't even match a junior knight, if I want to protect myself in the wilderness, it will not be a problem, and it will definitely not drag you down. Finding that the other party's mood was quite stable, Mei Ke had the courage to say what he thought.
"Save time...... this was to Merlin's heart, she just wanted to do this damn task as much as possible now,
"You...... Are you really familiar with Porcupine Valley?"
"Of course, our village often uses it as a training site. ”
"It's a good deal. Well, I promise you, but listen up, boy, if I find out that you are cheating on me, or that you are doing some tricks on the way...... You'd better be careful with your little life, I'll make your death more painful than that idiot, you know what I mean?"
"Yes, yes. Great, you are such a good person, my lordship. Knowing that he could really join the mission from the town, the hunter Meco nodded with joy.
"Good guys?"
Merlin rolled her eyes...... Ignoring his strong thanks, he beckoned Sister Serena to leave, and when he turned his head and saw Mei Ke's speechless appearance, he said impatiently: "What are you still grinding about, leaving." ”
"That...... Dear sir, I just remembered what happened. Meco said with a wink.
"What's the matter?"
"Earlier today, though, I saw the black-robed wizard go out of the valley and go in that direction. Mei Ke lowered his head and finished speaking, looked up at Mei Lin, whose face was changing from sunny to cloudy, and quickly lowered his head.
"You ......"
Mei Lin was really angry, and really wanted to reward this kid with a fireball, "Lead the way." ”
"Yes, my lordship, I have only one shortcut to avoid the porcupines that come out to feed. Mei Ke said flatteringly.
"Then let's go!" Mei Lin found that he really couldn't give this kid a good face, and he dared to open a dye room if he was given three colors!
"Yes, my lordship. Seeing Mei Lin's face gloomy, Mei Ke suddenly realized that the other party was not only a lovely beauty, but a terrible wizard.
After a few miles, there was a dark green canyon, a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley's topography rises steeper and steeper from the north, rising in the shadow of the white mountains until the cliffs on either side stand like towers, blocking out all light.
At the entrance to the valley, a boulder protrudes from the northern cliff, and at the bottom of it is a high wall built by ancient times, and within the wall is a towering tower...... Legend has it that this was once a fortress, but after the war, it gradually fell into disuse, and finally became the habitat of the porcupine pig, and the locals later called it 'porcupine valley', as for the previous name, no one remembers it for a long time.
"In the past, even when they went out to forage, there were a lot of porcupines in the valley, and they were not very industrious animals. But since they've become irritable, they've rarely been in the habit of staying here, and if you want to find anything in the valley, try to do it as quickly as you can, and when they come back, it's pretty loud......"
Merco was still rambling on her introduction, and the three of Merlin had already urged their horses into the valley. (To be continued.) )
