15. Small Talk (Repair)
After guessing whether the caravan's goods were Warcraft or not, and giving Izumi science about slaves, and experiencing the fun of being a teacher, Arthur began to teach Izumi to read and write.
Arthur took out the newly bought book, "I really miss it, I had this book when I was very young, but I didn't expect it to be sold now." ”
Then the book is either a very popular seller, or the update of the books here is too slow.
It's not a good idea to study in a rocking and bumpy carriage, especially when ink is placed on it and it can easily spill, but they don't have anything else to do in the cramped carriage other than studying.
When you study hard, time always moves quickly.
The caravan seemed to be in a hurry, and did not stop to rest at noon, and waited until the evening before stopping to rest.
Because they were in a hurry, they missed the place where they could stay, so this night, everyone still had to rest in the wilderness. By the time Izumi got out of the wagon, Carter had already taken the Benny brothers and Nance to set up the night guard with the caravan's guards, and Arthur didn't know where to go.
The caravan was too busy to take care of a strange child he didn't know, so Izumi waited in place with Shanado for a long time before he saw Ather sneakily running back.
Izumi was almost amused by his appearance: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Arthur replied triumphantly, "I just went to the carriage in front of me to take a peek to see what their cargo was. ”
Izumi: "You're just going to confirm this?" Then you don't have to be so sneaky, right? ”
"I'm curious, and I'm afraid they won't let me see it."
"Then did you see it, is it a monster?" Actually, Izumi was also a little curious.
"It's a demonic beast, and it's all a demonic beast above the third order." Arthur whispered excitedly, "They were about to feed them when I passed, so I happened to see them, and I don't know how they managed to catch so many monsters." ”
"I guess I bought it from someone else, right? The caravan didn't look like it was going to capture it on its own. "Although there are many guards in the caravan, those guards seem to be hired by the caravan, just like Uncle Carter and them, they are all mercenaries.
Arthur: "If so many magical beasts are brought to Corot, they will definitely be able to sell for a good price, and they seem to have more than this kind of goods, and there seem to be many specialties of the magical forest." ”
The spring is full of black lines: "...... You've inquired very clearly. ”
"Hehe, no, I just accidentally heard it when I went to see Warcraft." Arthur was embarrassed to say that this time he had really accidentally overheard.
"Atholl, Koizumi."
Hearing someone shout their names, the two turned their heads to see that it was Carter.
"Uncle Catter, you've already discussed?"
"Well, it's been arranged, we'll follow the escort team for the first half of the night, and the others will be in charge of the second half of the night, I'm just here to tell you about this, and by the way, I'll come over and ask you to have dinner together."
"It's not going to be another barbecue, is it?" Arthur had a bad premonition.
Ka nodded his head: "And dry bread." ”
"Oh my God! We've only had two normal meals, and we're going to have to eat these again. ”
Arthur wailed, and even Izumi was a little disgusted with barbecue, but he still comforted Ather: "It's okay, I have some fruit in my bag, do you want to eat it?" ”
Of course, the fruit he was talking about was not a tree fruit for elves, and there were many flavors in those tree fruits that were not acceptable to humans. He was talking about the unknown wild fruits he found in the Magic Forest before, because the elves don't like to eat those, but they found more fruits, so there are still a lot of them left.
In addition, there are many small snacks that I bought during the day's shopping today, which were basically bought by Arthur and stored with him.
Arthur also remembered: "By the way, we also bought a lot of delicious food, so you can eat those." ”
"Nope." Carter unceremoniously gave his nephew a chestnut, "Only eat those where are you full?" Come over to me, so is Koizumi, don't learn from your brother Atholl. ”
Izumi walked a few steps, stopped again, looked back at Shanaiduo, and said to Carter, "Uncle Carter, you go first, I'll go later." ”
Carter looked at them and nodded knowingly, "You move quickly." ”
By the time Izumi passed, the campfire had been prepared, and the five of them were all gathered around one of the campfires, roasting meat.
When Arthur saw him, he waved him to come quickly, and saw that he was only one person: "Didn't Shanaiduo follow?" ”
Izumi sat down beside him and was stuffed with a piece of bread and roasted meat by Carter.
"I prepared food for him to eat in the carriage, after all, he doesn't like to eat roast meat."
"Stay in the carriage, I didn't expect it to let you move alone."
To this day, Ather considers Shanaido to be Izumi's "mother". - Izumi had already said that he had been adopted before, but this incident did not stop Arthur from thinking about it.
Izumi smiled: "It's just a little bit of a distance, it won't be careful, and isn't there still you?" ”
The statement sounds pleaseful: "Of course we'll take care of you." ”
Roger remembered a long-standing doubt: "But why doesn't Shanaiduo like to eat barbecue?" I thought they would love to eat, but Wind Speed Dog and Lightning don't seem to be very fond of eating either. ”
Every time, they would eat anything else after eating the small grains of food that Izumi had prepared, and until then, no one would open their mouths even if there was a barbecue in front of them.
It's possible to say that they don't like cooked food, but if it's raw meat, they're not afraid of a bite, and it's okay to say that Shanaiduo is an unknown Warcraft after all, but Wind Speed Dog and Lightning are both carnivorous Warcraft but don't like to eat meat, it's strange to think about it.
Izumi was about to answer, but Carter coughed heavily, then glared at Roger, "Don't discuss this in this kind of place. "It's really an open-mouthed kid, and Izumi has said not to discuss Izumi's monsters in front of other people.
Only then did Roger realize that he was speechless, and changed the topic away with a haha.
"Koizumi, look at that." Ather's sudden touch to the spring.
"What?" Izumi, who was eating bread, looked up in the direction he had indicated, but found nothing special.
"The carriage over there." Arthur pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I heard from the caravan just now that it is the most valuable of all the goods, although I don't know what kind of variety, but it must be very large. ”
Quan looked at the carriage carefully, compared to the other carriages, this carriage was much larger, and the riding beast pulling the carriage was also two more than the other carriages, which showed that the monster on the carriage was a big guy as Arthur said.
Izumi was about to withdraw his gaze when a man not far from the carriage caught his attention.
Although he was still wearing a cloak and couldn't see clearly, Izumi saw the ring on his hand holding the food.
It was an ancient ring with a wonderful pattern, and because it looked like the silhouette of some kind of magical beast, Izumi remembered it well.
That's exactly what the two-black young man he saw in the magic prop shop during the day today.
"Uncle Carter, who are those people over there?" Izumi asked Carter.
Carter looked at it and told him, "Those are the guards invited by the caravan, the members of the Reverse Blade Mercenary Regiment." ”
Roger sighed: "That's a B-level mercenary group with more than five hundred members, and each member is at least a third-order professional or above, which is much stronger than our F-level adventure team." ”
Carter patted him on the shoulder: "Cheer up, when your swordsman level is upgraded to another level, you can go to participate in the entry test of a large mercenary group like Reverse Blade." ”
"How can it be so easy to upgrade, isn't Uncle Carter also promoted to the third order at the age of thirty."
Carter was originally comforting him, but now he wanted to beat him angrily: "Stinky boy, it's really sorry that my uncle only rose to the third order at the age of thirty." ”
Roger shook his head again and again: "That's not what I meant, I want to say that Uncle Carter, who can reach the third order at the age of thirty, is already very powerful!" If it were me, I guess I wouldn't have been able to do it. ”
"And I didn't think about going to any large mercenary group, compared to the adventure team with Uncle Carter and everyone in it, it is more suitable for me, and I want to always act with everyone in the future."
Everyone was stunned by this, and then Benny chimed in, "You're right, I've always felt that there is no better fit for us than Uncle Carter's adventure party." ”
Nance also said a long paragraph rarely: "Although I have not joined for a long time, I also prefer the current life compared to the mercenary group I stayed in before, and I always feel more comfortable." ”
The adventurous party wasn't very strong, but they were happy, and that was enough.
Everyone suddenly began to get emotional, Carter was stunned, and finally couldn't help but curse again: "Stinky boys." This time, he did laugh and scold.
For a while, the atmosphere became very harmonious.
"Well, isn't our adventurous party great?" Arthur asked Izumi with a glint in his eyes.
Izumi nodded.
"In the future, I will follow you everywhere on adventures as I do now."
Izumi felt the same way, and although he wasn't a person who liked to wander around, it would be nice to be in a company with such a group of people.
Roar - ?!!!
