Looking at Kraser, who was getting up and about to leave, Old Jack also became a little unable to sit still, he knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand, and quickly said his true purpose. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, of course, there is something, this is just a small matter, I have something I want you to help with, you see if it will work!" said Old Jack, taking a puff on his cigarette. "I have a book and a necklace that I need you to help me deliver to a distant relative's house. ”

"Okay! No problem! Where is your distant relative's house! If it's not far away, I'll send it to you tomorrow!" Kraezer grabbed the fruit on the table, wiped it clean with his mage robe, and took a hard bite of it, and his mouth was full of slurred promise.

"It's not far, it's actually very close, it's in Berkeley. Looking at Kraser, who was full of promises, Old Jack smiled a little brightly.

"What, Berkeley, are you sure you're not making fun of me!" Frazer nearly choked to death when he heard Old Jack's words, and he finally swallowed the fruit stuck in his throat and glared at Old Jack. "You're really not ambiguous at all, you're really a distant relative, it's far enough. ”，

"Why, I'm serious!" said Old Jack, a little embarrassed.

"Do you think I'm young and think I don't know where Berkeley is! That's Berkeley! It's in the easternmost part of the Empire! You're so far away that I wonder how you got here! One in the easternmost part of the Empire, one in the westernmost part of the Empire. I'm not going! I won't be able to go there next year without the magic array! Even if there is a magic circle, you think I can afford to use the gold coins used by the magic circle once, just kidding, what a joke. It's inexplicable that I'm not going to die!" Krezer shouted loudly as he spat and get up to leave.

"Hey, boy, what are you yelling about, I didn't say I wouldn't give you gold!" said Old Jack as he stood up.

"No, I won't go as many gold coins as you give me, we are more than three thousand miles away from Berkeley even in a straight line, and if I go there I will never want to come back in my life! I don't know how many beasts are waiting for me to feed them on this way! No! No discussion!" Krizer stood up and was about to walk out.

"I said you boy, listen to what I've said, okay! I didn't tell you the gold coins. Old Jack grabbed Kraezer.

"I can't go without giving me the gold coins. Kreeser pushed the door open.

"Slow down, slow down, boy, I said I'll give you the gold coins, not only the gold coins, but also this mysterious crystal. Old Jack said.

"I don't want this broken stone for nothing, you still use it as a payment, I'm not a fool! You let me go! Old Jack!" Krizer said to get the old Jack who was almost hanging on his body off his body, and the whole body of Old Jack was already hanging on Kraeser's body.

"Then I'll leave you the craft of brewing!" said Old Jack, gritting his teeth.

"What? You're going to pay for your brewing skills? Didn't you kill and don't teach others how you made your winemaking?" I begged you so many times and you didn't agree!" Krizer turned his head, touched his chin, and looked at Old Jack thoughtfully. "This distant relative is really so heavy!"

"Yes, I received a letter a few days ago, saying that I had an urgent matter to go back, but you know, how can my body withstand the toss, and I can't throw this old life on the way! So I will take the winemaking technique as a reward, and you will go for me!" Old Jack looked at Kratzer with a wistful expression, and from time to time wiped away his non-existent tears with his dry hands like chicken paws.

"Let me think about it! It's too far, I need to go home and talk to my father! I'll give you an answer tomorrow. But today you have to take me a barrel of your wine, and the old man told me to bring him wine, and I almost forgot!" said Kraser, looking at old Jack.

"No problem! Drink as much wine as you want today!" Old Jack nodded in agreement.

Frazer carried the barrel and walked home in the moonlight. On late summer nights, the mountain wind rustles the trees, and the roars of wild beasts can be heard in the mountains.

"It's rare that Old Jack can stay in such a place for so long, and there are so many beasts at night, maybe it's going to become a beast's supper! I'd better hurry home!" Krezer muttered quietly and quickened his pace.

By the time Krazer reached his house, the moon had climbed halfway up the mountain, and the people on the streets of the town were gradually dispersing.

"I'm back, old man," Frazer kicked open the gate and walked out into the courtyard.

"You know when you're back!When is this going to be, it's hard for those little ones to handle!Huh! What are you carrying on your shoulders that are so big, it can't be a bar!" Old Sherlock shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"Those little ones are still so cute! you have such a good nose, I got it from Old Jack on purpose, and you can have a nice drink tonight." Kreeser slammed the barrel on the ground and moved his aching shoulders, it was not an easy task for such a large barrel of wine to come home without stopping.

"You're talking about the little man with the ridiculously big hat who lives in the hills west of town! The burly old Sherlock opened the lid of the barrel as he spoke, and the aroma of the wine instantly spread all over the yard, and he scooped a large glass and drank it all, and the pungency of the wine instantly filled the throat, which felt like the taste buds were struck by lightning, and the feeling of numb crispiness flowed to the throat like a flame flowing through the hot, and the warmth in the stomach seemed to dispel the fatigue of the day.

"It's such a good wine! I haven't drunk such good wine in many years! The wine I drank last time is like water compared to this one. The burly old Sherlock sighed.

"You wait a little longer before drinking, I have something I want to discuss with you!" Kretzer hesitated.

Old Albert scooped another full glass. "Say it, I'll listen!"

"I've taken a commission from Old Jack to pack up my bags and go to Berkeley in the next few days, and it's going to take a little longer!" said Kraezer, who hesitated for a moment, and glanced at his father.

"Poof, what are you talking about, you're going to Berkeley, what are you doing so far!" Old Albert squirted out a sip of wine, and Krazer couldn't dodge and was spit out.

"Why are you so excited, aren't you just going to Berkeley, east of the Empire! I've been in this town for so long, and I want to go out and relax. Besides, I'm not young anymore, you can't always treat me like a child, I also want to go out and see the outside world, and I don't want to be confined to my own little world like in that place. Krazer sat on his stool and said dissatisfiedly.

"Then you don't have to go so far, you won't be back until the end of next year after your mission!" said the burly old Sherlock, wiping the wine from his body. "Don't wait two months, wait until the New Year is over!"

"That's why I'm going to tell you! After I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself, drink less, and go to the tavern more if you're fine, there are a lot of interesting things to do. Kratzer retorted as he fiddled with the magic wand in his hand.

"Alas, you're not too young! It's time to go out and relax, you won't grow up! Let's go! Let's go! You're at the time to see the world! She's gone! You're going to be gone, and I'm still alone!" said the burly old Sherlock, and hunched over into the house, not even drinking the wine that Krezer had worked so hard to bring back.

Kratzer looked at his father's back, he knew that the mother he had never seen in his father's mouth, in his father's gloomy tone, he felt a kind of melancholy, for a while he felt that his father was much older, he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything more! He knew that once he changed his mind, he would never have the courage to make such a decision again. So he silently put the lid on the barrel and carried it into the cellar, and for a while, the sadness of parting diluted the smell of wine in the courtyard. The shining moon in the sky gradually disappeared from the clouds, as if to herald the sadness of the coming parting.

The next morning, when the sun was just shining on the earth, the birds that foraged for food in the morning stood in the treetops, chirping non-stop.

Crunch!

Old Sherlock pushed open the door and walked out in high spirits, and after standing in the courtyard after a hasty wash, he glanced at Kraser's room, and then shouted, "Get up! Stinky boy, the sun is almost on your buttocks, aren't you going to Old Jack's today!"

Kratzer walked out sleepy-eyed, yawning and replying dissatisfied. I'm just saying that I want to take this commission, I don't have to leave today, I still have to prepare, or you will let me go to the other side of the empire empty-handed!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you have a lot of reasons, you go to the academy today to explain the matter to Dean Earle, I have to prepare for you. Alas, I don't know if the things that were adventurous in the past are still there! I hope they can still be found. Old Sherlock scratched his head and said to himself.

At the urging of old Sherlock, Kratzer hastily washed up, tidied up his magic robes and walked out of the courtyard, at this time the sun completely jumped over the top of the mountain, and the sun sprinkled on the town, bringing vitality to the town. Fraser first went to the academy to explain the situation to the dean, and asked for a year off, the white-haired dean Earl smiled kindly with his hands behind his back, and told him to be careful on the road, and come back as soon as the matter is over, he and the children are here waiting for him to come back. Krezer nodded and left the academy. He walked slowly on the busy street, walking in the direction of Old Jack's house, but he kept his head down and didn't know what to think about along the way, and he didn't even realize that someone on the side of the road greeted him, and gradually there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, away from the hustle and bustle of the town, Kraser raised his head and suddenly found that Old Jack's home was close in front of him.

At this time, the thin old Jack was still holding a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and the big hat on his head, and he was already standing in the yard, and the big black dog was lying at his feet, but the huge old hen was no longer visible, and he did not know where he had been brought by Old Jack.

"How's it been, lad! it's not an easy journey!" said Old Jack, looking at him with a slightly serious expression.

"What's the matter, of course it's no problem, it's just a small commission, it's just a little farther, it's like a long trip, it's very simple. Krazer replied with a smile on his face.

"Take it easy, take it easy, young man, take a long-term view, there are many magical places waiting for you on this continent, and I promise you that as soon as you step out of this town you will find how magical and wonderful the continent you live in. And beneath this sky above us is not only this majestic continent, but beyond the continent there is a more mysterious sea, which is much wider than this continent. Old Jack smiled mysteriously, and reached out and touched the head of a big black dog about his height. "Just like you said, this is just a very simple little commission, only a little farther, don't have to take it to heart, you know, do not experience the baptism of storms, will never stand on their own, eaglets want to soar in the vast sky to become the king of the sky, must be out of the eagle's wings, has been staying under the eagle's wings, after all, it will be no different from the chicken! People must have dreams, with dreams life will be colorful. ”

Old Jack smiled and stroked the head of the big black dog, who squinted comfortably with an anthropomorphic expression on his face. Kratzer was fascinated by the expression on the big black dog's face for a while, and even forgot to answer, his mind was full of the anthropomorphic and rich expression on the big black dog's face, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was no longer the tension just now.

"Alright! Alright! Nothing to be sad about! Come, come in! I'll tell you the exact address of the places to be noticed on the way, and the specific address of my poor relative, and my peculiar winemaking admiration, which I wouldn't have taken as a reward if I hadn't been able to walk, alas, I'd have gotten myself. Old Jack hammered back and walked into the house. Kraser and Big Black Dog followed Old Jack side by side.

"Look, young man, it's just this book, and a necklace, how easy it is! Old Jack pointed to the book on the table that was as thick as a wine glass with a metallic sheen.

Krazer looked at the book that Old Jack said, and suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this is a book, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an iron block, the outside of the whole book is shining with a metallic luster, and there is no pattern on it, there is only one keyhole that has been opened in the middle of the book, and the rest of the place is tightly sealed, there is no gap. Krazer picked up the book and looked at it again and again, but he didn't find anything magical, and the necklace next to the book could be seen at a glance to be made of the same metal as the metal book, and under the necklace was a key-shaped pendant, no need for Old Jack to say that he could also tell at a glance that this key was used to open the book.

"If you want to explore its secrets halfway, you can do that!, but I can't guarantee what will happen!" Old Jack looked at Krazer with a smile behind his back.

Krazer pouted and did not answer.

"And here's the promised reward, the secret recipe for brewing the wine, and the gold coins needed on the way," Old Jack pointed to a piece of parchment and a bag full of gold coins on the other side of the table. "However, I don't think you can make wine now that I've given it to you, so I have a little stock of wine in my cellar, so you can take as much as you can, and I'll give you this ring. ”

With that, Old Jack took out a ring from his bosom, which was inlaid with a familiar-looking crystal. Kraeer took the ring with a puzzled look on his face and took a closer look.

"Isn't this the unknown crystal that the old hen found?" but, old Jack, your craftsmanship is terrible, can this thing be called a ring!

"Don't forget it, it's not pretty, I don't want to give it yet!" Old Jack reached out and grabbed it a little annoyed. The big black dog on the side showed a wicked smile like a human, and Old Jack kicked it angrily, and the big black dog was unmoved and crawled straight to the bed, put on a comfortable position and lay down lazily.

Krazier took a step back, quickly put the ring in his pocket, and said, "Since you can't go back as a reward, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, all right, take me to the cellar and see how much wine you have." ”

Old Jack pouted and lit his cigarette pouch, took a beautiful puff, and after spitting a smoke ring at the big black dog lying on the side, he continued, "Come with me!"

With that, he staggered open the door and walked to the back of the room. The big black dog also jumped out of bed and followed behind with Krazier. Old Jack went to a large tree on the south side of the yard, groped his way on the leaf-covered ground, pulled out an iron ring, and said, "All right, boy, use your strength to feed and pull it up!"
