Chapter 5 Who Am I?
In this way, Mick dug for another week, and Mr. Hope paid himself about the same amount of money as he used to sell firewood, but this money was basically used by Mick to buy meat, eggs and other foods to regulate his body, so Mick has become stronger than before in this week.
However, Mick's biggest gain is that in a week's time, the family has accumulated more than a dozen corpses of fire poison ants. The corpses were of all sizes, and according to Mr. Hope's calculations, some of them should be sold to the alchemy shop in the Bright Realm for at least one or two silver coins.
So the next day, Mick said hello to Mr. Hope and took the corpses to the Land of Light.
Fengdu City in the Bright Country is very close to Mick's village, but this is a situation where there is a chariot, it still takes half a day to walk, and if you go by carriage, it will cost more than a dozen copper coins, so Mick naturally chooses to walk to Fengdu City.
Half a day later, Mick finally arrived at Fengdu City, where the walls and ground were made of pale gray bricks, shining in the sun, and indeed lived up to the title of the kingdom of light.
There was even a heavily armored soldier guarding the city gate, and only a pair of eyes were exposed all over his body, and if he didn't look closely, he thought that there were two statues at the door.
Mick stopped him when he entered the city, looked at his face and let him go, which made Mick feel a little strange, Mick remembered that when he used to come here to sell things, no one stopped him, could it be that something happened in the Kingdom of Light? But none of this has anything to do with Mick.
As soon as he entered the city, Mick saw a billboard, which was used to publicize the orders of the city lord and some city-wide notices. There will also be some wanted notices on it, and one of them is obviously a recent poster, this person Mick knows, he is Leon, the deputy head of the Skywalker Knights, and it is written that Leon is wanted for treason and espionage. However, what Mi Ke didn't expect was that the wanted notice was posted here, and it seems that the Cloud Peak Realm has extended its hand to the Bright Realm.
However, Mick was a little relieved to know that Leon was wanted, because he knew that Leon must have come to find him to defect from the Cloud Peak Realm, and you must know that if Leon does not defect, he will definitely be the next head of the Skywalker Knights.
However, Mick also knew that with his current strength, he could not help Leon, and it was useless for Leon to find him, so he was relieved.
He inquired to passers-by about an alchemy material shop.
As soon as I entered the house, the strong ** smell came, and it seemed that it was right here.
"What to buy lad. β
"Boss, I don't buy things, I sell things. β
"Okay, what's for sale?"
"I have some fire ant carcasses here, can you collect them?"
"Fire Poison Ants?"
The boss was very excited when he heard that there was a corpse of fire ants.
Mick took out a pack of corpses of fire poison ants, the corpses shrank a little due to the time, but these fire poison ants were originally intended to be made into alchemy materials, and all the shrinkage was harmless.
"Yo, that's not small. β
"Yes. What price can you give these fire ants?"
"How about I count you as a ten copper coins for such a big fire poison ant. β
"Ten copper coins!?"
Mick mentally calculated how much he could sell these fire poison ants for.
"Is it too little? Son, can you still get the corpse of the fire ant? If we can, we can cooperate for a long time, and I will give you fifteen copper coins." What do you think. β
"Yes!"
Mick didn't expect fire ants to be able to buy them for that price. This has far exceeded his expectations.
"Kid, did you kill all these fire ants?"
"Yes!" Mick nodded.
"Fire poison ants are usually found in places where they are infested, so if you can kill their queen, the price will be dozens of times that of it. β
"Dozens of times! A queen ant is worth several silver coins?!"
"Yes!" the boss nodded affirmatively.
"Boss, can you tell me why even a low-level magical beast like the Fire Poison Ant can be sold for this price?"
"Young man, you know a lot! Actually, this is the rising tide of the boat! I don't really know the specific reason, but it is said that it is because an alchemist has reached the level of a great master with alchemy. So it set off a national alchemy fever for a while. β
"Great Grandmaster! With alchemy, you have reached the Great Grandmaster realm! That's really not easy!"
The strength of the Great Grandmaster is absolutely the top combat power in the entire continent, you must know that even the original Xia Yasu only has the combat power of the Grandmaster-level.
However, there is still a difference between a grandmaster-level alchemist and a grandmaster-level warrior, so even if the other party is a great grandmaster, his combat ability should be similar to that of Xia Yasu.
After a brief conversation with the owner of the alchemy shop, the boss paid Mick two silver coins and fifty copper coins, and Mick left Fengdu City.
On the way back to the village, he meets Mei Ya again, but it seems that Mei Ya is waiting for him on the way.
"Brother Mick, why haven't you seen you lately?" asked Meyya.
But judging from the look on her face, she seemed to have something on her mind, which could not be hidden from Mick, who felt that she should know what she had been up to lately.
"Oh, I've been helping Mr. Hope mine lately, and this job is more lucrative. β
"Do you need money?"
"Yes, I, I'm going to study at the Academy of Light, and the tuition fee will cost five silver coins. β
"Are you going to school at the Academy of Light?" asked Mei Ya.
It is not difficult to see her sadness in her tone.
"Do you have to go?" asked Miya again.
"Yes, I can't be bullied for the rest of my life. β
Miya nodded.
"And when are you going to leave?"
"I'm still a little short of tuition fees right now, so I'll be around for a week. β
"Is it only a week?"
Mick nodded.
"So, can I go with you?"
"If you can, you can come to live in the Kingdom of Light in the future, but I don't recommend you to go to the Academy of Light, because after entering the Academy of Light, you are basically working for the Kingdom of Light, which is a bit dangerous for you as a girl. β
"You know a lot. β
Hearing Mick's words, Meiya's face was visibly gloomy.
"Are you Brother Mick?" asked Mea.
"Of course I am!"
Mick said calmly, but his heart was panicked.
"No, you're not him!" said Miya firmly.
"Why do you say that?"
"You've changed since you killed the lizardmen that time. β
"I've changed, but isn't it good for me to be like this?" Mick asked.
"I, I can't say it. Mei Ya was asked.
"People change. Mick reassured.
"Brother Mick, let's get married!"
"Huh?!" Mick was startled by Mia's words.
"We have reached the age where we can get married, after we get married, you will go to study in the Bright Academy, and I will wait for you to come back!"
"It's not....... I, I can't!"
"What are you hesitating about? Don't you like me? The whole village knows about us. Why can't we get married!" Mei Ya was a little excited.
"I mean ......."
"You still don't like me!"
With that, Mei Ya turned and walked home.
"You wait!"
Mick stopped Mia, he never expected a little girl to be so observant, he was half Mick and half Siasu, his uncle didn't notice the change, but Miya clearly noticed.
"I can't cheat on your feelings anymore! I'm not Mick!" Mick said.
"What did you say?" said Miya.
"I'm not Mick, Mick is dead, my name is Shiasu, I am the head of the Skywalker Knights in the Clouds Realm, I was beheaded about a month ago, and I used a secret technique to preserve my consciousness and enter the body of Mick who was killed by the lizardmen. That's pretty much it. β
"No way! You're lying, Brother Mick, you're kidding me, aren't you?" Meiya burst into tears.
Women are like this, they always want to find out the truth of the matter, but they can't accept the truth when they are in front of their eyes.
"You can investigate my identity. Let's see if I'm lying to you. Meiya, I have my fiancΓ©e, I like her very much, but I also really like you, I can't deny that, but I don't know if I like you or Mick likes you, and my purpose is to get revenge on the king of the Cloud Peak Country, so I can't take you with me because it's too dangerous. β
"I understand!" Mei Ya's mood gradually calmed down.
"If only you could understand. But I still hope you don't tell anyone about it, including my uncle. After all, the more people know about it, the more dangerous we become, and you don't want Mick to die again. β
Mei Ya nodded, but then spoke.
"Then how do you know you're Shiasu and not Mick. β
"I ......"
Mick was asked, he couldn't prove it, he didn't even think about it seriously, he just preconceived that he was Siasu through his memory, but he also had everything Mick, why can't he be Mick? Maybe this question will never be answered, maybe he is both Mick and Siasu!
