136. Sell what you can't take with you
The dinner is over, and Kuz's family has a new understanding of us, at least they know that I have come through hardships with Kuz, and we have a friendship of life and death, and the orcs value commitment more, which Kuz's mother can't stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info So the reason to bring those starving orcs home ended up being to go to the drowning moor at the edge of the swamp to hunt swamp zombies in order to make up enough money for me to get home.
My greed for money has also become a helpless act of a child who has nothing to protect himself. The orcs have always believed that in the human world, everything can be settled with gold coins in their pockets, because there are mercenary merchants everywhere. A child like me, when he goes to the Grimm Empire, he should have a few more gold coins in his pocket. And I heard that this matter was given to us by the wise man to make money, so it was only natural that we should go to the Death Swamp.
Coot eventually decided to divide the area around the edge of the Death Swamp to Kuz, and after he attended the bar mitzvah, he would officially become lord there. However, this matter needs to be voted on by the Gurudin Council of Elders tomorrow before it can take effect. Hey, since it's an internal decision, why do you still follow formalism?
As the acting chief of Gruuddin Town, Kut is a very intelligent orc, and I think he has now come back to his senses, and from the mountain-like goods of the Yagui beasts we brought in, those sacks of magical herbs and bundles of demon antelope skins, he will understand how much we have gained in the northern foothills of the wasteland, and he will no longer underestimate our strength.
In order to make Kuz's mother not so worried, Miss Qi even performed the magic of 'White Flame' in front of her. This also means that Kige has already learned the second magic, which is to become a ninth-level magician apprentice, and she is only one step away from being a true magician.
In fact, the division of the strength level of the magician's apprentice. The Wizards' Guild in the Ivory Tower has strict rules for each level of the Wizard Apprentice, with the mana stored in the magic pool being the most rigid indicator. If you don't meet this target, you will never be able to move up the ranks. It's easy to move a mage apprentice from level 1 to level 6. Only after the mana value in the magic pool is required to meet the specified requirements, it will be promoted directly, and each magician apprentice will learn meditation on the first day of school, and as long as you practice diligently, you can become a sixth-level magician apprentice. However, level 7 is a watershed for a magician apprentice, and in order to become a level 7 magician apprentice, not only does it need enough mana in the magic pool, but it also needs enough affinity for magic elements, when the affinity of a certain magic element is enough. Apprentice magicians will easily learn the magic skills that lie beneath this element of magic. Each magic skill has a minimum elemental affinity requirement.
For example, Kige has a very high affinity for arcane magic elements, which is why she learned the 'magic bullet'.
I once asked her why you didn't learn fireball, and I heard that skill was the most powerful in the early days.
She bared her teeth and said to me: You don't want to be an old lady, but my arcane magic element affinity is the highest, and it is easiest to feel in meditation, I don't want to learn a magic skill as soon as possible, so I learned it.
For example, Sister Ruoguo has a very high affinity for the water element, she told me. Her first magical skill was 'Water Bomb'.
I was surprised and asked, "Why isn't it an ice arrow?"
She smiled dumbly, tapped lightly on my forehead, and asked rhetorically, "Who said that a water mage can learn the Ice Arrow with the first skill?" Do you know how much water magic elemental affinity is required to learn that skill?
I thought to myself, how do I know if you don't tell me!
In the magic caravan, I knew that the reason why Kig had been reluctant to advance was because of this. She didn't learn the second magic. When a magician apprentice is promoted from level 7 to level 8, there is no obstacle, as long as the mana reaches the standard requirement. But by the time it was the ninth level. It also requires the magician to have enough magic affinity, originally if Qige had increased the affinity of arcane magic elements. It's not too difficult, but Miss Qi's temper has risen. However, if you want to make your fire magic element affinity reach the level of a ninth-level magician apprentice, this is undoubtedly to feel another fire magic element anew. This caused Miss Qi to stay on the seventh-level magician apprentice until now.
The egg-sized fireball in her palm was covered with black rattans, and it looked like countless black vines had bound a milky white flame, and those white flames continued to burn through these black rattans, and I could feel a strong burning sensation when I stood two meters away. This is not the 'Little Fireball Technique', this is the magic 'White Flame Technique' that can only be learned by a ninth-level magician apprentice, this is a more searing fire spell than the 'Fireball Technique', but its disadvantage is that its attack range is only forty yards, which is very close for a magician. Kig naturally had a reason to learn this, and that was that the temperature of the 'White Flame' could melt most of the primary magic metals and ores, and as a potions master, learning this spell would save a lot of auxiliary materials.
On the way back to the room, Qige finally couldn't help but ask me: "Jia, in the caravan, it is said that your brother has mastered the secret of the beast cuisine, so that the food will become so delicious, and took out a delicious food that has never been eaten for everyone in the caravan to taste, and then I was greedy, and asked you to make a sumptuous dinner for me, if it wasn't for that delicious dinner, who would know a little hairy child like you!"
As she spoke, she laughed out loud, and her silver bell-like voice echoed through the hallway, so crisp and pleasant.
"I still clearly remember your pig brother at that time, when you looked at me, your saliva almost dripped on the placket, the first time I saw such a small child, I actually showed such a squinting eye. Qige's words evoked our memories, and there were countless images clearly staying in my spiritual sea on that beautiful Xinghu grassland.
Old Kuru sat on the mound and waited for me and Kuz to return from guinea pig hunting. The image of Uncle Fred breaking the hind legs of the demon antelope and holding the bone cleaver to slash down with force. Kuz and I were swimming in the Star Lake, and suddenly a huge thunder rhinoceros appeared next to us, like a heavy rain. Sister Guoguo dragged me into the tent and helped me change into dry clothes. For the first time in this world, I saw the scene of a mature woman's body blushing.
Kigra sat on the balcony of my room with me, looking up at the star map in the night sky. I don't know when it started. I became fond of looking up at the night sky. Caterina took some meat floss out of her duffel bag and proudly pulled out a piece of cheese from her bosom. A plate of white bread was brought from the coffee table in the room, and he said to Qige proudly, "I'm not full, but I'm glad I have prepared these." ā
Kig affectionately pinched Katerina's face and exclaimed, "Good baby!"
Kige was at the table, refusing to eat more in order to maintain her image, and I helped her eliminate half of her steak. That's when I thought to ask Caterina where she was having dinner. She smiled sweetly at me and said, "In the small hall next to the back kitchen, we ate roasted cracked hooves and beef legs, which were delicious. ā
Kig stood in front of me, with his back to me. Holding up her long, burgundy wavy hair with open arms, revealing a snow-white slender neck and a perfectly curved back, I expertly stood on the wooden pier and tiptoed to untie the corset of her long skirt little by little. Among the dotted lights in the town of Gurudin, the brightest places are in the street market, and several bands of light crisscross the town of Gurudin, which is very beautiful.
At this time, Qige said regretfully: "Jia, I originally thought that the nobles of the orc tribe would eat the exquisite dishes you made before, such as the strange taste of herring, mushroom soup, and black pepper lamb chops. But here it goes. I realized that there was no such delicacy among the orc tribes, and they were emulating the tastes of the nobles of the Grimm Capital, who seemed to be tired of eating all the food, before I went on a trip with the dance troupe. This kind of well-cooked split-hoof steak has been trending over there, and I found that the food on the orc tribe's side was not as good as I thought, and they gave up the delicious secret seasoning. I want to emulate the extravagant ...... of the nobles of the Green Empire."
Got rid of the cumbersome and heavy long skirt gown, and kicked off the fine shoes on the feet. Kig lay on a large wooden chaise longue wearing only a fleshy white petticoat, and Caterina pulled two blankets out of the room. One was over Kig's body, and the other wrapped around my body.
I jumped on the wooden railing of the balcony and sat down, put my legs on the outside of the balcony, and said, "I thought you couldn't wait to make magic ink." ā
Qige didn't answer my words, and was silent for a long time before he said to me, "I'm level nine!"
I continued, "I know, are you really a child who doesn't know anything? when I see your 'White Flame Technique', I know that your magic affinity has reached the level 9 standard, so the next step is to become a real magician?"
Qige said lightly: "Well, I can successfully graduate from the junior Grimm Royal Academy of Magic before the age of sixteen. In the past few days in the wasteland, my magic affinity has improved a lot, and I think it may have something to do with the fact that we make scrolls all night long, but I didn't expect that preparing a large number of magic potions would actually increase the affinity of magic elements. Jiga, I think I'm going home. I want to take the summer graduation exams, get my mage certificate, and then apply for the intermediate Grimm Royal Academy of Magic. ā
I turned my head to see Caterina squatting on the ground in a panic and picking up a silver knife, holding a thin-necked silver jug in her hand, looking at us both in alarm.
I struggled to spit out a few words: "That's good! I'll find a chance to visit you in the imperial capital." ā
"Come back to the imperial capital with me, Caterina has been taking care of you all this time, and you won't be used to it without her. Kig said euphemistically.
"You know, I promised Sister Guoguo. "Again, I refused.
The night became silent as a result, and the loneliness in everyone's body spread, like a creeper on an old wall, completely enveloping the whole wall. I slept badly that night, and I tucked into the quilt to make myself look like a cocoon, but the emptiness still sent chills down my body.
After midnight, the two silver moons quietly rose from the edge of the mountains, and the dazzling moonlight made the entire star map disappear in the night, leaving only the brightest stars. Mercury moonlight poured into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the curtains of which were blown by the night wind, like a bewitching dancer writhing her body, and I could even clearly feel Caterina stepping out of bed and tying the curtains anew.
Early the next morning, I was dragged out of the bed by Qige, I almost didn't sleep all night last night, and I fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn, and the beautiful face looked at me with a smile, and the slender fingers like white onions dragged my ears, and shouted in my ear: "Jijia, get up quickly, I said that I would sort out those herbs and demon antelope skins this morning, and don't hide in bed and be lazy!"
The ruby on her snow-white neck was crystal clear, and the fragrance of the girl came to her nose.
I was dragged up in my sleep, and Caterina beside me thoughtfully wiped my face with a towel, and I saw that her red eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept well last night. The room was in a mess, with girls' clothes hanging everywhere on the sofa, on the floor, and on the wooden coffee table, making this room with a rather orc decoration style full of vitality.
We ate breakfast in the room, and I really liked the chocobo omelette which was very tender.
When Kuz arrived, we were almost finished, and I don't know how well he comforted his mother last night, but looking at the brightness on his face, he probably persuaded his mother.
Kutz lifted the curtain and walked in, saw Caterina cleaning up the plates on the coffee table, and asked in surprise, "Finished eating so early?"
"Miss Qi is going to deal with her herbs, she has to hurry!" I was lying on the sofa without energy, I slept too late yesterday, and now my head is still a little dizzy, and I said weakly.
Kig got up from the dressing chair, threw the eyebrow pencil in the fine dressing box, carefully examined it in the mirror, found that there were no flaws, and with satisfaction corrected the ponytail tied at the back of his head, turned to Kuz and said: " Those magic herbs, there are too many that are not used to sell, like hemostatic herbs and the like, I don't have time to purify them repeatedly, and then refine one or two bottles of healing potions, let's prepare the materials for the production of milky white ink and moonshine ink, and ask Kidd Butler to help us dispose of all the rest. ā
"You don't want so much, why do you bother to get it back. "As soon as I thought about facing more than thirty sacks of magical herbs, I wanted to die, and complained to Qige.
"Do you want to take care of it, get up quickly, go to the couch when you're full, what a lazy pig! Go and get those sacks out of the barn for the old lady!"
I secretly complained in my heart, and said busily: "Sister, let's choose how good it is in the warehouse, and we don't have to worry about being exposed to the sun!"
"Cut, I didn't go to the barn yesterday, it's dark and dusty everywhere, can you be stupid?" Kigra said as I walked out of the room. Kuz and Caterina hurriedly followed, and we came to the utility barn by the stable outside the back garden wall of the castle, while the servant sent by Kidd waited for a long time, and when he saw that we had arrived, he gladly opened the door of the warehouse, and Kuz asked the grooms to bring the herbs out of the storehouse.
It is very cumbersome to deal with those herbs, Miss Qi is a very picky person, first of all, the different types of herbs must be selected one by one, placed one by one, and the herbs that are not in good condition must be picked out. The four of us had been busy all morning, and we had only finished picking out three sacks of magic herbs. I looked at the mountains of herbs to be disposed of, and said to Kig, "Let's have someone pick them!" Kig and Caterina looked at the large pile of herbs on the ground, and finally could only agree.
Kidd steward brought some diligent wolf beast girls, they all have some rudimentary herbal knowledge, work very quickly, I can finally be lazy on the side, soon after a herb merchant in Guruding Town was also invited, Qige began to bargain with him, kept talking about these magic herbs, I was too lazy to participate, just watched Caterina grind the juice of Ning Shencao, Caterina looked at me resentfully, and seemed to be complaining that I didn't promise Qige last night to go back to the imperial capital together.
In the end, most of the herbs we didn't need were sold to the herb merchant at a discount, and Kig didn't ask for any money, just some lapis and tiger's eye and a small packet of Mithril powder for the same price. I saw that the herb merchant carefully put those precious Demon Emperor Grass into the wooden box, so I asked Qi Ge: Why are those rare Demon Emperor Grass also sold? Qi Ge lightly twisted his head to the side and replied: If you can't take it away, you can sell it. I didn't know what to say for a while. (To be continued.) )
