Chapter 1 The Prancing Horse Inn

Prancing Horse Inn

A magical world. The structure of the magic net here is very stable, and some simple magic tools are also flooded in the world - but it is very strange, the magic popularity of humans here is unusually low, and most of the so-called mages that Zhao Mian found in this world are just some guys who can only release fireballs with the help of some items at most, according to the last call with Gianna, her evaluation is very pertinent - just some charlatans.

"Still, some of the food here is good. Zhao Mian took some of the food he had 'bought' from the charlatan who wanted to snatch a bottle of magic essence from his hand, and waved it into the darkness not far from his campsite, "Friend over there, if you can find this place in this dark night, why don't you come out and talk? ”

Zhao Mian's voice fell, but the silent night was still as usual, except for the singing of some nightingales and the neighing of owls in the distance, there was no other sound, he shook his head regretfully, "It seems that I am the only one who enjoys this 45-year-old bottle." ”

"Sounds like a good suggestion. Before Zhao Mian's words fell, a figure sat next to the fire, and unceremoniously picked up the newly tested Kodo beast hooves placed on the side of the fire, and gnawed it.

Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders, not caring about the other party's behavior, but just took out a Hoof of the Kodo Beast and roasted it on the fire.

"It's not uncommon to see travelers passing by during this season, and rainy weather is not a good time to travel. Hiding himself under the hood, the man dressed like the human rangers that Zhao Mian sometimes met in the twilight forest, after eating the hoof in his hand, spit the last bone in his mouth from his mouth to the ground, and then tilted his head to look at Zhao Mian who was sprinkling condiment on the other hoof and said, "What's more, there is nothing more worthy of travelers in this vicinity except for the halfling Shire Town, so what are you here for?"

"It's just that I've heard that the food in the Charles has always been very good, and those hobbit halflings seem to be very knowledgeable about cooking, so I wanted to go over and try it - after all, you know, the so-called authentic food you eat elsewhere is usually not the dry food that is easy to carry, or some guys make their own to fool those who haven't eaten it. Zhao Mian said a little indifferently, he tore off a strip of meat from the hoof in his hand and threw it into his mouth, and then said a little vaguely, "But I'm ...... Well, that's the name. The map of the area I bought in Loristed didn't seem to be very reliable, and the damn profiteer took me enough money, but didn't give me what I should have. I followed his map all the way, and it turned out that the place marked as Charles was a large swamp - none of the things on the map were in the right place!"

"You must have met old Vol. Through the hood, the man sighed, and Zhao Mian saw a smile on the corner of his mouth through the light of the fire, "That old fellow, though he has a kind and honest face, has always done some similar work—he supports himself by this kind of work, and Loristted is one of his usual places of activity." ”

"Hmm, is it?" Zhao Mian swallowed the food in his mouth and put some salt on it, "It's still a little light, it seems that this Kodo beast must be very old." But it's just a few more laps, but it doesn't matter, anyway, my purpose is just to walk around the world casually, although it's a pity that I can't eat the most authentic, rumored very delicious food made by real hobbit halflings, but it's not impossible to wander around this place casually. ”

"Looks like you're in a good mood. The other party was silent for a while, then added two pieces of wood to the fire and said.

"After all, I wandered in the wilderness for a few days, and then I finally met people. Isn't this something that should be happy?" Zhao Mian tried the taste again and nodded, "Yes, it's done, do you want a little more?"

"No, I've had enough. The other shook his head.

"Well, it's a shame that the piece you just ate didn't actually have any condiments. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders, put the hoof to his mouth and blew slightly, then took a bite, quickly chewed a few bites and swallowed, "But listening to your words, does it seem that something has happened recently? Or is something about to happen?"

There was a silence for a while, although it was not very long, but it was enough time for Zhao Mian to completely eat the food in his hand, the other party still spoke, "I think this matter has nothing to do with you, but if I were you, I would definitely stay away from this place as soon as possible." ”

"Really?" Zhao Mian raised his eyebrows, took out a water bag and cleaned his oil-stained hands, then raised his head and looked at the eastern sky, "Let me guess- Since you will warn a stranger to leave here, then what is about to happen must not be small, and in the past few days, I always feel that something is happening in the east of this world, and some kind of strong will is echoing with something nearby, although it is not clear what it is, and it seems that the connection between the two is not close enough, but since it can still be connected from such a long distance, then this thing must be very powerful, and the ability it has must be many people who want to take it for themselves, among which there should be some powerful guysIn other words, there is a good chance that there will be a battle here, a fight for something...... Wait, no, I've seen some black knights passing by in the past two days, and they shouldn't be interested in a small magical item, which means that this incident may really have an indelible impact on the entire region. ”

"You guessed part of it. The other man lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said, "But this part is enough to show that you are extraordinary—are you a mage? No, no mage can act in heavy armor, and metal will cause them to fail to cast spells." Your identity is suspicious, stranger. However, it's not much different from what you guessed, so try to stay away from this place so as not to get into trouble. ”

"Even if you don't say it, I'll leave this place. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and the armor on his body Ding Ling made a chaotic sound, "But you can also see it, I have been wandering in the wilderness for a few days." To be honest, I haven't been able to find anyone for a long time - the heavy rain the other day has washed away all traces. And seeing that this day is dark, it is estimated that there will be another heavy rain tomorrow, if it weren't for you, I would have put away my salute and looked for a place to shelter from the rain. ”

"Follow me, I know there's a town around here called Brie, and the Prancing Horse Inn is very nice. The man dressed as a ranger stood up, patted the leaves on his body, and said, "It just so happens that I'm going there too, and you can leave this place in a carriage at Brie." ”
