Chapter 192: Shelter
......
Thunderclouds they stopped on the side of the road.
Silver's eyes lit up and she said, "If we take this prey back, will Carola give us money?"
She actually knows the importance of making money, and it seems that she has been affected by thunderclouds. Because this guy often mentions making money in front of her, she also has a sense of urgency.
Thundercloud smiled, how could Carola pay for the prey caught outside?
But unexpectedly, Yir said seriously: "Well, she should pay." ”
"Huh?"
Thundercloud was dumbfounded, wondering if he was afraid that Sylph would be embarrassed, so he said this?
"The blue hyena is a good ingredient, and its meat is very delicious. In the market, a blue hyena can be sold for fifty or sixty copper coins. The meatloaf that Jinlai Villa made for us was made with it. ”
"Really...... Really?"
Thundercloud was sick to his stomach for a while, and suddenly he felt like throwing up.
"Its meat is much better than that of a rabbit, and Carola won't lose much if she takes it back." ”
Thundercloud was depressed for a while, it turned out that this thing could have been sold for money, and Carola was too good at business. This boss lady is very powerful!
The most ridiculous thing is that when the magic book heard that it could be sold for money, it became even more energetic, and kept holding the blue hyena in its mouth, and really planned to bring it back.
It seems that it is not only Sylph who has been affected by the thunderclouds, but even this magic book has been enlightened.
They continued on their way, and two hours later, they arrived at one of the main peaks of Jiulian Mountain.
Sure enough, there is a shelter here, and it stands on the edge of the cliff as if it were an old church.
There is a fence next to the shelter, and a large vegetable patch has been cultivated inside, and it looks like people have lived here for a long time.
There is also a gazebo next to the cliff, which gives you a panoramic view of the mountains below, and the scenery here is very good.
But Il says it's a very dangerous place and that travelers often go missing here.
In order to protect the passing merchants, Xilin City established a shelter here. But it's not very useful, and people often go missing.
According to Il, it is said that there is a very evil thing that appears here at night, they will call your name, and after tricking the person out, the person will disappear without a trace.
In order to investigate this strange phenomenon, there is a priest who lives here all year round, and he is Sawyas. That is, the target person that Thundercloud is going to send a letter today.
Thunderclouds, Silver, and Il arrive outside the door of the shelter. The spellbook in the back kept the blue hyena in its mouth, and it looked a little funny.
Thundercloud said loudly, "Anyone? I want to find the owner here." ”
A response came from the shelter: "Wait a minute. ”
The door was opened, and out of it came a priest in a robe, about forty years of age. With a Bible in his hand, he seems very approachable.
The priest was very polite: "This is a shelter, you can stay at any time without my permission." ”
Thundercloud coughed and said, "Actually, I want to find Soyas, I have a letter to give him." ”
"Yes, I'm Soyas, and I've worked so hard for you. ”
Thundercloud handed the letter up, and Soyas opened it and read it in front of him. Looking through the back of the paper, I saw an ancient magic circle drawn on it.
Soyas frowned, "Is this true?"
Lei Yun said: "What is really?"
Soyas smiled, "Oh, I mean the contents of the letter. ”
At Il's reminder, Thundercloud took out his magic manual and asked Soyas to sign it, and the mission was successfully completed. When he returns, he can go to the Magic Association to receive his reward for two silver coins.
This mission was very easy, and there were basically no monsters encountered on the way, so Thundercloud didn't find it interesting at all.
On the contrary, it was this Soyas who reminded him: "Little friend, it is very dangerous here, it is not dark yet, you should go back early." ”
Lei Yun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's take a break and go back." ”
Soyas was very polite: "There is a well next to it, if you are thirsty, you can go and fetch water yourself." ”
Thundercloud nodded, only to see the priest turn and walk into the shelter again.
Yir looked at the sky and said, "Xiao Lei, you guys take a rest here first." I'm going to go out into the jungle to see if I can find a killer bee's nest, and I'll be back in an hour at most. ”
Lei Yun said: "You go, I'll wait for you here." ”
Yir was a little uneasy, and admonished, "Until I come back, please stay in this shelter for the rest of the day." There are exorcism spells on the walls here, so if you encounter danger, please go in and take shelter immediately. ”
"Okay, okay, I know, you go get busy. ”
After Il left, Thundercloud lay down on the grass next to the shelter, basking in the sun, and said to Silver, "Let's take this opportunity and rest too." ”
Hilf obediently sat down beside him, and said crisply, "Is it that after the letter is delivered, your work commission this time is completed?"
"Yes. ”
"It seems like an easy task. ”
"Well, that's all for low-level tasks. ”
Thundercloud rested his head on her lap, and Hilf looked at him tenderly, and for some reason, she felt blissful too.
Thundercloud tilted his head, only to see that the magic book was still holding the blue hyena, suspended in mid-air. This guy doesn't know anything about exhaustion, what a reliable pet!
Before I knew it, it was noon, and Thundercloud began to feel a little hungry. After all, I didn't eat this morning, so I was a bit overwhelmed.
It's a bit far from Xilin City, and it will take at least a few hours to go back, so shouldn't you find something to fill your stomach?
Thundercloud's eyes finally stopped at the magic book, and it was still holding the blue hyena.
Once a person is hungry, not to mention a mouse, even a fly can eat.
So, Lei Yun sat up, pulled out the dagger from his calf, and said, "Xiao Qian, I've worked hard for you, put down the prey." ”
The magic book obediently placed the blue hyena on the grass.
Thundercloud walked over, and he immediately began to peel and gut the innards, cutting them into strips with great skill. Then a campfire was set up on the side of the road and a barbecue began......
The magic book was obviously stunned, and looked at it with a bewildered expression, it flapped its wings desperately, a little puzzled, why did he put his prey on the fire to roast?
Is this the prey that I have worked so hard to bring from the bottom of the mountain? They all said that they were going to exchange money, how did they burn it for what?
It fluttered its wings and wanted to pounce on the thunderclouds and bite them twice.
Using earth-based magic, Thundercloud built several stone benches and a table on the side of the road, and sat comfortably on them, waiting for his food to be cooked.
After a while, there was a burst of fragrance wafting through the air, and its flesh slowly charred, and then a layer of oil oozed out. This blue hyena is really a delicacy, it is at least more than ten kilograms, enough for a dozen people to enjoy. As a result, the thundercloud only cut a small part, which is really a bit wasteful.
Sylph was also a little greedy, and she opened a pair of bright eyes as she looked at the rat meat in Thundercloud's hand. Who says rats can't be eaten? That's a delicacy, isn't it?
Thundercloud made a portion for three people, and they waited for Il's return before giving him a portion.
It was about to be ripe, but there was footsteps on the road behind him.
Someone exclaimed, "It's so fragrant, there is actually a barbecue stall here?"
Thundercloud looked back and saw seven adventurers coming to the shelter, they were obviously a little tired, they just threw all kinds of equipment on the ground, and then all sat down on the grass or stools.
Two more people went to the well to fetch some jugs of water and drank them.
Lei Yun narrowed his eyes and found that these guys were not simple, there were three silver-level adventurers, the leader was a magician, and the others were also bronze five-star characters.
While he was observing these people, they were also observing thunderclouds.
Especially Silf next to her, she sat gently on the grass, her white dress covered the ground, it was so tempting!
Of course, the most tempting thing is the barbecue of the thunderclouds.
One of them said: "Children, don't waste these delicious foods, give us a share, okay?"
Lei Yun was silent for a moment: "Okay, if you want to eat, how about a silver coin per person?"
"Hey, hey, aren't you too dark?"
"If you don't eat it, forget it. ”
Lei Yun thought to himself, these guys are all silver-level characters, and they must be rich.
Sure enough, the leading magician sat down across from him: "Okay, bake one for each of us, and give the money when we finish eating." ”
Thundercloud laughed, "That's right, you guys wait. ”
In the blink of an eye, the sanctuary comes alive. The priest named Soyas came out for a walk and just shook his head when he saw them after the barbecue.
He didn't say anything, after all, this is a public place, and people often barbecue here.
What he was worried about was why the two children didn't have any intention of leaving, and this Jiulian Mountain would become very dangerous at night. Could it be that he wants to spend the night here?
But now that there are a few more Silver Mages, it shouldn't be a big problem.
While the thunderclouds were roasting, the adventurers next to them began to chat: "Have you heard, there will be unclean things here at night, should we go overnight?"
"Let's take a break, we can't walk. Moreover, there is still a day's journey from Xilin City, and there is no way to get out of this Jiulian Mountain before dark. ”
"It's okay to stay for one night, but one thing to note is that you can't call people by their first names here. ”
"Really?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with being careful. ”
Thundercloud secretly wondered that it only took him three hours to get here. Why did it take a day for these guys to get back to Westlyn City?
Yes, I can do it quickly, and of course it's fast.
Twenty-seven kilometers is actually quite a long way for ordinary people, and if you walk back at the usual pace, it will take at least five or six hours. And they're already exhausted, and they're going to be slower, so they're going to want to stay here for one night.
Of course, it didn't matter to them whether they took a break or not, and after earning their seven silver coins, they would return to Xilin City.
was thinking about it, someone next to him swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Little friend, your meat is already roasted, can you give it to us?"
It turned out that the three skewers of meat that Thundercloud had grilled before were already cooked. In order to make their money, Thundercloud had to reluctantly let them out.
The silver magician who was the leader said with a smile while eating: "Little friend, your skills are really good. We are destined, do you want me to teach you a few tricks of magic?"
Lei Yun said with a black line on his face: "You don't want to repay the debt, do you?" I tell you, I only need money, I don't want you to teach me magic." ”
Everyone laughed......
