Chapter 122: Tombstone Cave
"If you're going to do the task now, maybe I can help. "Mars said that he was a little unique to the city of Phil in that it didn't have a wizard apprentice stationed there.www.biquge.info Because just relying on the strength of ordinary people like them, they can basically cope with the general situation of the endless dense forests around them.
When Phil entered the city, he also saw pedestrians on the road, and indeed as Mars said, the strength was very good, just in this section of Phil's entry into the city, Phil saw more than a dozen people with official knightly strength.
"I set up this as a base early on, and I have some operations here, so I thought it would make your tasks easier and more quickly. ”
Phil listened, there was no reaction, as if he didn't understand what Mars meant by saying that he had been in business for a while, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and it would take at least a few years to run such a large estate, and a few years ago, how old was Mars at that time?
For Mars's proposal, Phil readily agreed, which was beneficial to both people, and naturally there was no need to refuse.
Without further ado, when Phil's physical fitness did not require a break, the two got up and left the manor.
Tell Mars a little bit about the mission.
"It turns out that you took on this task, but I also heard about it. When Mars heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This matter is also a little famous in the city of Munro, almost all the people with some strength have gone to visit it, and I also wanted to go and see it when I came, but because of some things, I didn't get my wish." ”
Phil then followed Mars to a castle on the western outskirts of the city, which is said to have been built along with the city of Munro.
On the way, Mars briefed Phil on the specifics.
It's a strange thing, not long ago, an unnamed tombstone appeared at the junction of that castle, and a good hunter disappeared in that area. Everyone thought that he had been taken away by the wolves who had escaped from the Endless Jungle, and when a few friends were remembering him, the hunter appeared in the most prosperous tavern in the city of Monro with a fierce axe, and not only that, but those who had seen him also found that in this short period of time, the hunter had been promoted from a reserve knight to a full knight!
This change is really not curious.
While everyone was still whispering and making eye contact with the hunter in secret, the hunter took two sips of wine and accidentally told the story.
It turned out that the hunter passed by the strange tombstone that day, and found that a cave had appeared there at some point, and the hunter was a little curious about this. People who beg for a living on the edge of a knife know that the last thing they need if they want to live a long life is curiosity. But that day, under this curiosity, the hunter made a choice that others thought was absolutely fatal.
He lit a torch and walked into the cave under the tombstone.
Then, in the dark hole, the hunter ate an unknown fruit hanging from a low tree, and the next day he was promoted from a reserve knight to a full knight, and then picked up a weapon axe on the ground around a corner that looked like it was definitely forged by a dwarven craft.
No one believed in this kind of pie in the sky, but soon someone picked up another piece of pie. It was a man who had been begging for a living in the party for a long time, and he was probably the most willing to believe the story of the hunter. Then, a few days later, it was discovered that the adventurer had somehow possessed a long sword that could be called a treasure, and that his son, who had been seriously ill for ten years, was suddenly able to go out and bask in the sun.
Anyone who cares immediately noticed this, but the caution and caution with which they had survived the countless dangers of the endless jungle made them not dare to abandon everything, and gambled that there was no danger in the cave where pies were constantly dropping.
However, there are so many people in a city, and there are always so many people who have a reason to risk their lives to fight for a slim hope.
So, then, some people found that in the city of Munro, there were several people who appeared in taverns and brothels that they would never have appeared, drinking refined ale that they would never drink, and hugging the girl they had never dared to look at. At this time, the specific situation of the cave under the nameless tombstone was also presented to everyone little by little with the drunken words of these people and the people next to them.
That cave is a treasure! Of course, it is not without danger, there are some monsters in it that will guard some places, and the strength is okay. But for the miraculous herbs it grows and the precious weapons it leaves behind, it's not worth mentioning at all.
For a while, people with a little strength in the city were dispatched. Next, it was a period of complete madness for the city of Monro, but also a period of harvest, although in the end it was found that not everyone was benefited, and not everyone survived, but when people are crazy, especially when everyone around you is doing this, you have no reason to continue to watch, your friends, your wife, and even your son, who is watching the neighbor's children eat new snacks, will force you onto the road that leads to the tombstone cave, all you can do is stop hesitating, quickly pack your equipment, and head towards the tombstone cave。
According to later claims, after this period, the beasts around the city of Monro were slaughtered in a terrible way, and those beasts that had originally fought with the two-legged beasts suddenly found that the strength of the two-legged beasts on the opposite side suddenly increased a lot, and they were knocked down due to the negligence of their previous experience, and fell on countless pools of blood.
Everyone was delighted, except for the owner of the castle next to the tombstone. For some reason, they suddenly found that their family had participated in the construction of Monro City a long time ago, and the powerful ancestors had countless warriors under their hands, although none of them had left many words in the history of the city, but they were sure that after the ancestors helped to create the city of Monroe, they came here incognito, and buried the sharp blades in the hands of countless warriors into the ground, until a certain generation of descendants of the ancestors went to dig them out and continue to fight for the prosperity of Monroe.
"I think that's where your mission comes from. "The people of the castle claim that the tombstone cave is something left by their ancestors, but the entrance is just on the border line." ”
"It's kind of funny," Phil said, looking at the castle looming in the distance, "don't they know what happened to them?"
"As I said, this city is full of fools, especially after the tombstone cave incident, and they feel more and more amazing. Mars said, looking at the people on the borders of the surrounding city of Monro, with a bland contempt in his eyes.
