Chapter 12: Windfall

The sun had set, and twilight had enveloped the town of Hamm amid the chirping of night crows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In Dave's farmhouse, White Feather Silver Wing was jumping left and right waiting for dinner, while Kester looked at the fist-sized blue dongguo in his hand with interest. It is a fruit unique to the desert oasis area, with a high water content and a sweet flesh. The climatic conditions in Heaven are perfect, but it is precisely because of this that the Wing Tribes who live in Heaven miss out on many delicacies like Lan Dong Guo.

"Let's try it, the blue fruit I grew is also a specialty of Hamm Town." Dave enthusiastically served a full plate of cut fruit. After removing the pits and skin, the translucent aqua-blue flesh exudes an incomparably sweet aroma that makes Kester's index finger move.

"Then you're welcome!" Kester skewered four or five pieces of pulp with a wooden skewer and stuffed them into his mouth in one go. The sweet juice flows down the tongue and down the throat, not only quenching thirst and cravings, but also filling Kester's taste buds with a refreshing taste.

"Well, I'm not bragging!" Looking at Kester's intoxicated expression, Dave couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"It looks like jade, especially delicious, compared with your Landong fruit uncle, I'm afraid that those delicacies of the mountains and seas will be overshadowed!" Kester complimented heartily.

"Haha, the young man looks like a literate person, and the other people in our town who eat my blue dong fruit usually say: 'It's delicious, it's so delicious.'" Dave was really happy to hear Kester's admiration. This young man is obviously not an ordinary person, even he said so, it seems that his Lan Dongguo is indeed worthy of pride.

"Why haven't I seen such a delicious fruit before?" Kester skewered four or five more pieces of pulp and threw them into his mouth.

"Young man, don't you know, this blue fruit is only delicious when it grows in the desert area, and it is not sweet when it is found elsewhere. It's hot during the day, the fruit grows quickly, and at night it's cold, so the sugar stored in the fruit breaks down less, so it all settles. Dave introduced.

Kester is indeed erudite, but he really doesn't know anything about this matter: "It turns out that there is such a thing, no wonder I haven't heard much of Lan Dongguo's reputation before." ”

Dave laughed: "Haha, young man, of course I can't compare with you in terms of vindictiveness or anything, but uncle, I am also a farmer, and of course I will know more about this matter than you." ”

Kester nodded as he continued to eliminate the flesh on the plate, and from time to time he threw it to White Feather Silverwing, and the eagles were very happy about it, jumping up and down to throw the flesh into their mouths, and from time to time they chirped, as if to say, "Well, that's sweet". With the efforts of one man and two eagles, a plate of pulp was quickly wiped out. Dave, who solved the problem, was in a good mood, and he was usually reluctant to eat Landong fruit, but today he was also rare and generous to serve another plate. This time, of course, it was the fruit, Kester and the double eagle ate too quickly, and Dave picked the second plate temporarily, and it was too late to cut it.

Kester naturally didn't want to trouble Dave anymore, anyway, the skin was not thick, and he didn't bother to peel it, so he picked it up and gnawed it, but he ate a desert feeling. Nibbled on a few more blue fruits, and just as Kester was about to pat his stomach to announce the end of the meal, two red fruits slightly smaller than the blue fruits jumped into his eyes.

"Huh? What is it? Dave also noticed these two fruits. It was already dark when he went out to pick the second plate of Lan Dong fruits just now, and the two fruits were mixed into the fruit bowl without his knowledge.

Kester thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head: "By the way, this should be the fruit of the man-eating flower, and that man-eating flower is not small, and it is normal to bear a handful of fruits." ”

"Can they grow new man-eating flowers?" Dave couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Don't worry, piranhas mainly rely on sprouts growing on their spreading roots. Its fruit germinates slowly, there are no mother flowers, and the seedlings do not grow quickly. As long as you pay more attention, uncle, even if there are man-eating flowers and fruits in the field, you can uproot them before they grow predatory leaves. Kester reassured.

Dave breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I didn't get rid of that terrible plant before because its roots were entangled with the blue dongguo, and next time I find out, I will definitely not give it a chance to grow." ”

"Uncle, I also believe that after such a time, you will be alert," Kester nodded, "These two fruits can be used in medicine, and they are also worth a little money, so it is better for one of us to each of us." ”

"Young man, you killed all these flowers, I'll be embarrassed to take yours again." I've heard it's worth some money. Dave struggled, but the farmer's simple nature made him reject Kester's offer.

"Okay, uncle, you can take it, I ate a lot of your fruit today, and it is natural to return one to you." Without saying a word, Kester shoved one of them into Dave's hand.

"Well, thank you then, lad."

"Uncle, you're polite, I'm going to sleep with you tonight, don't mind if it's so troublesome." Kester smiled and tossed another man-eating fruit into his waist pocket.

"Haha, how can it be, young man, you are my reborn father!" Dave smiled too.

**********

Early the next morning, Kester and Dave went to the Mercenary Guild to complete the delivery of the mission. Although the -2 level mission could only get 60 percent of the bounty, Kester had 25 silver coins in his pocket, and he pondered to find the highest-paying D-level -3 mission to take over. Coincidentally, the consignee of the hunt mission was in Lyle City, and Kester's goal was to hunt down a quasi-fifth-order fourth-order magical beast ironback beetle and send its shell to the mercenary guild in Lyle. The ironback beetle is not uncommon in the desert, this is a relatively annoying magical beast, it has no valuable magic core, and its defense is quite high, which is much more difficult to kill than a man-eating flower. However, this is not a problem for Kester, with the ice magic of Silver Wing, no matter how hard the carapace is, it can't stop the invasion of the cold air.

"The mission bounty is 45 credits, please pay a deposit of 15 credits." The Bloodgirl who was temporarily sitting at the bar couldn't help but glance at Kester when she saw that Kester had completed the tricky task assigned by Dave so quickly, and she didn't tease him again today.

"Give." Kester handed over the silver coins and the mercenary credentials. Quests beyond the D level need to register the code of the mercenary credential, which also avoids a lot of messy disputes.

Successfully taking over the mission, Kester got 2 silver of dry food and was ready to go. Dave generously gave him a basket of blue fruits, avoiding the embarrassment of Kester having to nibble on dry food all the way.

"Young people nowadays are amazing." Saying goodbye to Kester, Dave thought as he walked back to the Mercenary Guild branch from the entrance of town.

"Dave? What else is going on with you? The Bloodwomen obviously recognized him, but she couldn't seem to think of what the honest Dave could do with the Mercenary Guild.

"Ask me, do you know how much the fruit of the cannibal flower is worth?" Dave wasn't embarrassed to ask Kester before, so he rushed back to the mercenary union to inquire.

"Cannibal flowers? In the case of a fifth-order demon plant, the fruit is probably worth more than a hundred silver coins. ”

"Oh my God! So valuable! ”
