Chapter 115: A Choice When You Can't Take Care of Yourself
After repeating the same action on Shimena the Griffon, Krezer became somewhat obsessed with the feeling, and although he wanted to feel it again, he was denied the opportunity to do so in Loz the Griffon and Ximena. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After being touched by Krezer, the two gently rubbed their heads against the elf Monica at the same time, and then rubbed each other's necks, looking at the blue sky from time to time, and let out bursts of screaming sounds, which were transmitted to the vast forest in the distance.
After the griffon Loz and Ximena calmed down, Kraser lifted the elf Monica and placed it on the back of the griffon Loz, and then he lowered his head to look at Baggio and Rogers, who were barely sitting up, and nodded slightly, and then held the back of the griffon Loz with his left hand, and jumped lightly and sat down with him.
After waiting for Krazer to sit down, Griffon Loz turned his body, slowly flapping his huge wings, bringing up strong wind pressure, and slowly left the ground and rose into the air. Monica, the elf sitting in Kreze's arms, screamed excitedly on the back of the griffon Loz and disappeared into the sky under the gaze of a group of unlucky people on the ground.
Looking at the griffin that gradually turned into two black spots in the sky, Baggio breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he took out a few colorful small bottles from his arms, twisted the lid and poured out a little smeared on the wound on his thigh with extreme pain, "This failure is really complete, how to explain when you go back, even the griffin has been lost, and you have to change places." ”
"Come on, I'm even more unlucky, it's obviously a sure mission, and I killed such a guy halfway. Don't think about the future, think about the present!Our group of injured people, this is a water source again, and it's getting dark, I don't need to remind you what the consequences will be!" Seeing that Baggio still had time to think about the future, Rogers, who was on the side, couldn't help but let out a sarcastic voice, and then he stretched out his hand and asked the other party for the small bottle in his hand. "Don't be stingy, give me some!"
Facing Rogers' outstretched hand, Baggio hesitated for a moment before reluctantly handing it to the former. "You save some money, it's something I worked so hard to get my hands on. ”
Looking at Baggio's painful look, Rogers pursed his lips disdainfully, obviously he took Baggio's words as a kind of shirk, but when he applied the potion in the small bottle to the wound on his thigh, a cool feeling instantly came from the wound, accompanied by a tingling sensation, just a few breaths, the bleeding wound no longer had blood flowing out, looking at this magical scene, Rogers' eyes suddenly lit up, and then he quickly put the small bottle containing the potion under his nose and sniffed gently.
"Where did you get such a good hemostat?"
"You don't understand this, do you!" Looking at Rogers' envious look, Baggio shook his fingers triumphantly, snatched the small bottle in his hand, and carefully put it into his arms again. "This thing was bought from an alchemy master last time when I accompanied the second son to Tugai, and it cost me a lot of gold coins!"
"Alchemist, goblin or human?" asked Rogers curiously.
"Of course it's a goblin, and only a goblin can make such a good hemostatic agent!" Baggio replied without looking up as he took out a relatively clean strip of cloth from his cloth bag and tied it to the wound.
Reluctantly watched Baggio put away the bottle of hemostatic medicine from the hands of the local refining alchemy master, but he envied his excellent luck in his heart, because now there are very few human races that can achieve extremely high achievements in the field of alchemy, and these people are either in high positions, or honorary professors of the famous magic academy, and those who want to buy alchemy products from them can be described by the word carp across the river, so even if there is a chance, it is not the turn of a small person like him to buy it.
But this is only one of the small reasons, the real reason is that since the fall of the Goblin Empire, almost all the races on the continent of Montimos have tacitly followed the same rule, that is, the goblin race is not allowed to contact anything related to alchemy technology in any way again. Although only the Terrans can roughly grasp some of the knowledge about alchemy left over from the Goblin Empire, and although the products of alchemy are more effective and practical than magic in some places, out of fear of something, almost all races on the continent have acquiesced in this albeit unwise.
Of course, there are some things that you can't stop if you want to, at most they can only delay the process of their development, so today, more than 2,000 years later, although there is still no alchemy master who belongs to the goblin clan on the surface, after more than 2,000 years, who can dare to guarantee that they will not appear in front of the world again.
And in recent years, there have been rumors of the reappearance of the alchemy master of the goblin clan, it can be said that except for the more strict rule of the Opdosben Empire, the other two major countries have more or less rumors of the alchemy master of the goblin clan, it is said that some people have sworn that they have exchanged for some alchemy potions that only exist in legends, but the truth of the matter has never been proved by facts.
As soon as he remembered this rumored incident, Rogers couldn't help but look his eyes up and down on Baggio's body, he couldn't believe that this guy had such good luck. The latter, who had just bandaged the wound on his leg with a clean strip of cloth, couldn't help but touch his cheek when he saw Rogers looking at him with a strange look.
"What are you staring at me? Is there anything on my face?"
"Have you met the goblin alchemist?" Rogers couldn't help but ask.
"How is this possible! How can I have that kind of luck!" said Baggio with a wave of his hand. And at this time, he also reflected on why Rogers looked at him with that kind of eyes. "It's not the Earth Refining Gold Master I met, I also went to trade with the second son, and the things refined by a goblin pharmacist under the other party's command, just such a small bottle cost nearly two hundred gold coins, so I haven't tasted wine for three months!"
As soon as he talked about this, Baggio had a pained expression on his face, but Rogers saw not only flesh pain but also secret joy on his face, judging by the current situation, the two hundred gold coins were really worth the money, at least he didn't have to worry about not being able to move normally.
Then this atmosphere did not last long, the moans of the wounded pulled them back to this cruel reality, it is taboo for travelers to be injured in the forest, especially near the water source, this is the time for the monsters in the forest to forage, such a group of people together is the best target, just thinking about it makes this group of people shudder. At this moment, the cries of wild beasts came from the forest in the distance, which made people feel weak to hear.
"Why didn't that bastard kid send us out of this damn forest with us!" Rogers grumbled at the sound of the beast howling in the distance.
"Haven't you woken up yet, fool, it's a blessing to have picked up a small life, let's go! Get out of here before it's completely dark!" Baggio sneered mercilessly.
"And what about these people?" Rogers said, pointing at a few of his men lying on the ground.
"How do I know? I'm already too much to protect myself, how can I still have the heart to take care of them, it's hard enough for me to ask that kid to fish them out of the lake, and you still want me to escort them to the imperial capital!" Baggio said as he grabbed Rogers by the collar and yelled loudly. "Open your bull's eyes and look around, we are in the forest, not out for an outing, take them with these wounded, you just wait for the dinner that will turn into beasts with them!"
"That.. !”
"What then, will you come with me, will you stay with these people until you die, and I will not accompany you!"
"You left these people behind, so when you return to the imperial capital, how should you explain to the second son?" Looking at Baggio, who was about to leave, Rogers grabbed his clothes.
"You're hopelessly stupid! Move your head and think about it, you failed this mission, do you still have good fruit to eat when you go back?" Rogers shook off his hand and spat hard. "Besides, this deal between you and me is a secret deal! What is a secret deal? That is, the less people know about it, the better, if we succeed, we may get some rewards, but if we fail, do you think we still have to live? Will the people above admit to this non-existent deal?"
As he spoke, Baggio pointed his hand at the moaning men lying on the ground. "It's not just you, it's even them, the mission fails, and there is only a dead end to go back, which in itself is a deal that few people know about, the better!"
At this point, Baggio was still lying on the ground and swept over the faces of the people, and when he saw that the latter's faces showed thoughtful expressions, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then, he glanced at Rogers, who was still hesitating, shook his head, and limped towards the woods alone, while Rogers looked at the back of Baggio's departure, and stomped his foot hatefully, between the former and the wounded in one place, he wisely chose the former, limped after him without looking back, and disappeared into the dense woods together, leaving only a group of unlucky people with some injuries on their bodies lying in place with their faces looking at each other.
And just when Kratzer took the elf Monica to fly into the sky on the griffin Loz, on a big tree in the forest below, two slender female elves were holding longbows, drawing full bows, and the sharp feathered arrows moved slowly with the figure of the griffon Loz, and the tight bowstring only waited for the jade finger on it to loosen, and it could accurately shoot the feather arrows on the string to Krazer in the sky.
"Alright, let's put it down! Hee-hee! What a clever little fellow! Just let him take little Monica with him! We have other tasks along the way, and it's not convenient to take her with us. Seeing that the figure of Griffon Loz gradually turned into a black dot, the slender elf girl Ilida at the head commanded thoughtfully as she looked in the direction in which she had disappeared.
"Is that little Terran really worth our trust?" one of the elves glanced at the back of Krazer as he rode away on the griffin Lotz.
"It's all right! The little guy has already told us the next route, and if it goes well, we'll catch up with him at Barstow, and if it doesn't, we'll go after we get to Weynether. The slender elven girl Ilida waved her hand not to be too nervous.
Is his word worth believing? The other female elf, who had drawn the longbow, was equally reluctant to remove the feathered arrow from the longbow.
"Hee-hee, don't worry! This little guy has already discovered us, and he deliberately told us to drop!" A coquettish laugh, the slender elf girl Elida covered her small mouth and laughed coquettishly.
"You think too highly of him, don't you!How could a young imp of his age have such strength!" Hearing the elven girl Elida say this, one of the female elves holding a longbow looked at her in disbelief.
"Hehe, don't underestimate the Terrans! Why do you think the Terrans can suppress the other races on this continent and become the hegemon, the Terrans' ability to learn and innovate is second to none among the continent races. Looking at the elf on the other side with an unbelievable look, the slender elf girl Elida smiled coquettishly, but her face was not as relaxed as she appeared, because she didn't know how Krazer found out about their existence.
"And when did he find out about us, aren't you curious?" This time it was the only male elf who asked the question, Lika, who had already returned to his elf body and leaned against the tree.
"If I'm not mistaken, he probably didn't let little Monica hide here before he fought those two fools! I guess at that time he wanted us to take little Monica away, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence, he wouldn't have let little Monica hide anywhere, but he hid on our side, what a smart guy. Elven girl Elida whispered her thoughts.
"Speaking of which, what a great opportunity just now, why don't you agree!"
"I think this little guy of the Terran is very interesting, and Monica is safer with him than with us, and our task is not easy at all!" At this time, the slender elf Elida had no smile on her face, and she saw that she was half-squinting at the place where the bird was startled just now, and she looked like she was thinking.
"How can you say that? Did you find anything again?"
"It seems that you care too much about little Monica! You didn't even notice that there was someone hiding there, and that Terran kid was earlier than you found out. ”
"No, it won't!"
"Didn't you notice that he glanced at us and looked there again! It must have been at that time, not only us were here, but everyone else was there, let's go!
Glancing again at the direction in which Krazer had disappeared, the elf girl Elida waved her hand, her movements as agile as a predatory clouded leopard, and took the lead in rushing in the direction of the startled bird. The rest of the elves also disappeared in place with the same quick movements, and followed them in the direction of the startled bird.
