Chapter 43: More lively in every sense of the word
The next day, just after dawn, Eddie got up.
Although he didn't schedule himself, he didn't sleep soundly......
Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too vigilant - Eddie has to look up at the driver every once in a while;
The sound of some wind and grass will wake up suddenly.
That night, Eddie got up fourteen times.
Damn.
"Orange Wind...... You go to rest. Add yawned and motioned for Orange Wind, who looked a little haggard by the fire, to lie down in the carriage for a while;
Last night, she was assigned a shift in the second half of the night - after all, she couldn't get started when dealing with demon wolves.
"Gray Wrist, get up and get to work...... Hey, coachman, I'll give you two copper coins, and you'll help with that......" Add said, pulling out the cold light and walking towards the wolf;
For Add, the most important thing is undoubtedly the demon core in his body;
Can be used to restore mana in an emergency, and to use magic that exceeds your mana limit......
In contrast, selling money is even secondary.
The sharp cold light cut through the fur of the monster to make it more than a dagger;
It didn't take much effort for the three of them to skin the blue-eyed wolf.
It was a good material for both armor and protection from the cold - according to the coachman, such a complete fur would sell for at least two silver coins;
Of course, if the condition is not good, it will be greatly reduced, and it is possible to reduce it by half.
The main part of the wolf's flesh was also cut off by Eddie - the fur was just right to hold them as a wrap.
The driver bought some of it at the time, and after counting the fare and labor costs, Eddie was equivalent to taking a ride for nothing;
Judging by the driver's excited expression, he didn't feel that he had suffered at all.
As for the rest, Eddie originally wanted to sell it;
But he glanced at Orange Wind's treasure-like gaze.
He looked at the gray wrist who rubbed his stomach in an attempt to curb the noise, and finally chose to smile-
Anyway, there aren't a lot of left, so let's improve the food for the past two days.
It stands to reason that this was almost time to go—but Add looked at the remnants of the wolf and felt he could still use it.
So he hurried back into the car, doubled through the package, and took out a small jar for the spices;
Add then used the jar to collect a little bit of the wolf's blood.
"Less...... Master, what are you doing here?" Grey Claw looked at Add with some confusion and took it into his arms after confirming that he would not spill it;
"Be prepared. Edillo smiled and didn't elaborate—
After all, if you have to tell all your relevant plans......
I'm afraid it's not a hundred and eighty children who want to listen to bedtime stories.
......
"It's finally time to arrive in Kaede Town......
In the afternoon, Eddie sighed as he looked at the buildings in the distance.
As the carriage was moving, the three of them were almost alternately making up for sleep;
The only time I'm awake is when I'm at noon.
"You'll be able to see that long list of barriers in a moment! it's really not easy for them to defend against demonic beasts......" The coachman sighed.
As he said it, as he approached Maple Town, the forest began to thin out, and the scene of Maple Town unfolded before Eddie's eyes;
Just like the difference between a "town" and a "village", even if you don't look down from above, you can appreciate the huge difference in scale between the two sides;
There are hardly any thatched houses to be found here, except in the coldest part of the town;
Further in, bricks and tiles have been more commonly used.
...... There is no cement. Eddie was keenly aware of this.
Speaking of which, it seems that at the beginning of a certain book, I read the story of the prince using cement to resist the monster......
Ahem, it's a pity, judging from my current situation, I definitely can't choose farming.
...... And I can't get that high temperature at the moment.
A little further on, the fortifications to the southeast of the town also come into view.
"You see, those walls aren't that high, are they? Actually, those monsters aren't that high, and they can't climb up...... I've heard that most of them are good at one word - bump!"
The relatively well-informed driver began to explain to Eddie again:
"One of the most common magical beasts looks like horses, except that the neck is not that long, and the body is partially covered with dark blue or purple scale armor...... It's not easy to deal with knives and guns, almost all of them are bronze-level!
They're the ones who like to hit the wall the most, and with their speed, the dirt wall collapses in a few clicks!
Look at those walls, they are basically all newly repaired! Every time the beast tide comes, it has to be renovated again, and it takes a lot of effort!"
Monster in the form of a horse......
This is an important piece of information for making a plan.
"What about them?" said Eddie, feeling that even if he didn't ask, the coachman would continue to talk;
But his attitude of "asking proactively" will obviously make the driver a little more comfortable - and he should be repaid.
"Hey, do you see those red, cobweb-like magic circles behind the earthen walls?"
Add squinted his eyes and took a closer look—they did exist, but they were hard to see.
"At this point, they're not activated yet, and if you infuse them with magic, it's a lot more fun than that!
I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but ...... I heard that it was like a charcoal fire burning red!"
...... Well, the "cloud" is also an important source of intelligence.
"Once activated, any trained person can control the magic array attack;
They shoot those bright red arrows, and if they hit, they explode!
I heard that even the big guys of the silver rank can't stand the constant bombardment of the magic array!"
From the description, it's not small......;
"The number of magic cores that need to be consumed is definitely not indispensable, right?"
"That's nature...... Even if this maple town is so large, it can't afford it!" Speaking of this, the coachman sighed:
"In the past, the capital sent people to send some magic cores for support - but, since the Wang Du came out of that incident a few months ago, the number of magic cores sent has begun to decrease......
I don't know how long it will last here!"
Is the regent Tiamat planning to abandon this place?
"Actually, if the adventurers here could use their strength in one place, the situation would be much better;
But alas, those guys are sometimes more noisy than Warcraft!
They are a group of brave and energetic young men who form gangs in the city and engage in things like ...... 'guilds' and 'mercenary groups';
It's okay when there are Warcraft, they can use all their energy to deal with Warcraft;
But as soon as they are free, hey, they will try to bring down the other guilds...... Quite able to toss!
Even if someone dies, it's not an uncommon thing for them!"
...... It's really lively here in Maple Town.
