Chapter Eighty-Four: The Earth
"Dear guest, please allow me to introduce you to a product!" The old drunkard took out a cloth bag from the cupboard, "You need not only a map to enter the frozen forest, but this is also essential!" ”
The old drunkard opened the cloth bag, and inside was a gray-white stone-like thing, mixed with some grass clippings like dead branches, this stone was very soft, and it could be crushed into ash with a little rubbing, Xia Yi pinched a small piece, put it to his nose and sniffed it, there was no taste. Pichu jumped on the counter, licked it with its tongue, and spit it out, it didn't like the smell.
"It's not edible, little one!" The old drunkard said, "Warcraft are not like other beasts, bonfires can only attract their attacks, to expel Warcraft, usually use potions, and this kind of thing, not produced by potions, but more effective than ordinary potions, sprinkled around the camp, can make Warcraft dare not approach!" ”
"Is this an ore?" The texture of the Chey is somewhat mineral-like.
"No......" said the old drunkard, carefully wrapping the stone, "it's dung!" Dragon's dung! ”
“……”
Feces?! Shay rubbed his hands clean on his clothes, and Pichumon was picking at his throat, apparently understanding the old drunkard's words. Warcraft also divides their territory through urine and feces, and dragons are undoubtedly the most powerful creatures.
Fortunately, the dragon's feces may have been stored for a long time and did not stink.
Xia Yi looked at the old drunkard strangely, this guy was neurotic, and the things he sold were also strange, and said, "You can actually get dragon dung, then you must have been to the dragon's territory, right?" ”
"Hehehe...... My old man isn't enough to stuff the dragon's teeth! A handful of old bones, where do you have the energy to find a dragon. This one, was acquired from some adventurers. What do you think? I'll only charge you fifty gold coins, and you'll be safe in the Frozen Forest!" "The old drunkard took the opportunity to rob.
"Fifty gold coins?!" It was difficult for the rich man to spit out the gold coins in his mouth, and Xia Yi scolded exaggeratedly, "Old fellow, you just go to the goblins!" Your business is faster than a robber can make money! ”
"Hehehe...... Don't be so impulsive, I can give you a discount! "The old drunkard pretends to be generous." If I still need gold to buy wine, I can give it to you for free...... So, how about forty-nine gold coins? That's already the lowest price! ”
"It's not dragon dung." Xuan Kui spoke.
"Huh? Young people, don't talk wildly if you don't know the goods! You mean my shop sells fakes? Hmph, I want you to compensate me for the loss of my reputation! Twenty gold coins is enough! "The old drunkard looks like he's in a rage.
"This is fake?"
How did Xia Yi know what the dragon's feces looked like? Fifty gold coins to buy a lump of dung, this is absolutely impossible!
"Humph! It's because you don't have the money to buy it that you come to slander me! I also have cheap high-level demonic beast urine here, and it also has the effect of expelling low-level demonic beasts. The only problem is that the taste is too strong, maybe you guys are more suitable for Warcraft urine! The old drunkard shouted.
"Except for the elven dragon in captivity and the fairy dragon that drinks flower juice. The other dragons, all of them are meat eaters, and if you have incompletely digested grass roots in your dung, it means that it eats grass! Old liar, what do you think dragons are vegetarians? ”
was punctured by the zombie king, the old drunkard was not weak at all, he drank too much, and his guts and cheeks were well-trained.
"Who said this wasn't dragon dung! This ......," said the old drunkard, huffing. "It's wurm! Aren't wurms dragons?! ”
In addition to the dragon likes to collect shiny things, he prefers the opposite sex, and none of the dragons on the continent are not lustful, except for the juvenile dragon. Their objects transcend racial boundaries. As long as they look at the magical beasts, they will also try their best to dominate them.
As a result, there are more creatures named "Wulong" on the continent, and their abilities are different, some have inherited the strength of the dragon clan, and some are just ordinary monsters, but they have the blood of a dragon. Wurms also usually live as long as dragons, perhaps because the gods punish dragons for their amorous behavior, and all wurms are infertile.
The old drunkard is strong and reasonable, and he has no sincerity in the transaction at all.
"Looks like we're in the wrong place." Xia Yi said disappointedly, "Old fellow, not only do you not have a map, but you also want to extort our gold coins!" ”
"Bang!!"
The figure came from behind, and the old door of the shop was kicked open, because the force was too great, and the rotten wooden planks directly turned into several petals, raising a thick layer of dust.
A group of people came into the shop, all of them looked fierce, it was a mercenary group, the number was very small, there were only twenty-five in total, and the leader was a man with a thick stubble.
The most eye-catching is a female archer, her longbow is slender, such a bow is suitable for women, there are full of arrows in the quiver behind her back, the tight leather armor does not hide her graceful figure at all, the melon seed face is peach eyes, she is an elf. Shay thought that the elves' long ears would look weird, but no, her ears had a unique charm.
"What a tempting little hoof."
Xia Yi saw the elf for the first time, and she had long heard that the elf was a beautiful race, but she didn't expect that this female elf still made her sigh, the elf is really a race that is extremely beautiful all over the body, and even the half-exposed white neck and collarbone are showing off the grace of this body.
From their wolf head badges, Xia Yi knew that this was a squad of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
The commander of the detachment shouted loudly and familiarly: "Merlin! Hurry up and give me the map of the Frozen Forest! Ha Lu Ha! What are these three little guys doing? Merlin, there is still a big boss looking for you?! ”
"Humph, Harry! Don't you have to disturb my business! Watch out for me breaking your head! The old drunkard shouted, "You don't bring me wine, and you still want my map?!" ”
Although they were speaking ill of each other, both of them were grinning and obviously acquaintances, and Harry's team members had become accustomed to the way they greeted each other.
Harry held a small keg of ale and threw it on the counter, scolding: "It would be nice if you drowned in the cellar one day!" ”
The old drunkard, known as Merlin, lovingly hugged the barrel, kissed it fiercely, and then pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment from his long sleeve, which was the map of the frozen forest.
"Wait, old fellow! You just said you don't have a map! Xia Yi shouted angrily, the old drunkard didn't want to sell her the map!
"Hehehe, dear guest, I didn't have a map just now, but now I have it......" Merlin was not ashamed of lying at all, but was stern.
The members of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment looked at Merlin with ill will, they had suffered a lot at the hands of this old fellow, and although they were very familiar with Merlin, they wished that he would be in trouble.
Even the head of the regiment, Harry, smiled and said: "Old fellow Merlin, I'll just say, you are not a serious person, you always deceive guests, it is better to kick an iron plate and tear off your old bones!" ”
"Shut up bastard! Don't you think I'm messy enough? Merlin puffed out his cheeks and shouted, and said to Xia Yi with a smile, "This guest, I have long said that I will not sell maps, and I have also introduced you to other goods, but you don't want it, if it were other strangers, you would have been kicked out of the city a long time ago!" ”
"So I have to thank you for your hospitality?!" Xia Yi is very angry, this old guy is thicker than a mummy!
"You're welcome! I'm just not used to being too grateful to me, so if you don't want to go, next time you come to my shop and bring me some human spirits......" The old drunkard's mouth smacked his lips and tasted some saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Harry stuffed the sheepskin map into his arms, waved his hand and ordered the members to set off, they were ready to go one by one, it should be to enter the frozen forest, Xia Yi saw that the map that he had found with great difficulty was about to fail, and quickly took out an object from the Void Ring and slapped it on the counter.
The members of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment were all attracted by the crisp voice, and looked back to see the badge on the counter.
"It's the badge of Captain Brent!" The elf's eyes were the best, her archery skills were excellent, and although the inside of the wooden house was dim, she could see the coat of arms at a glance. Her voice is so pleasant that one thinks she's listening to a harp playing.
Harry walked towards Xia Yi solemnly, he took the badge and weighed it, then touched his chest with his right hand, and saluted, the mercenaries all acted like Harry, even the female elves.
"I'm sorry......," said Harry, who could not have imagined that in the remote town of Merry, he would be able to see Captain Brent's badge, and his badge had a special way of identification, Harry knew that it was true.
"Although I don't know what your relationship with Head Brent is, since you hold it, you are our honored guest, please forgive me for the faux pas just now."
"No, Master Harry, I'm Shay."
Xia Yi likes this feeling of being powerful, although it is a little pretending to be a fox......
Harry was a mage, as evidenced by the walnut staff in his hand, but instead of wearing a mage's robes, he wore waterproof leather armor, which was never a good idea in the snow. For the rare wood elemental mage, walnut is the best staff, not even a magic core.
Of course, the rarity of the Wood Demon Core can be compared to that of the Philosopher's Stone.
"Master Harry, if I can, I would like to enter the frozen forest with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment, as you can see, we don't have a map, it's easy to get lost in the forest."
Xia Yi said what she meant, with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group leading the way, they would be faster.
"The three of you?" Harry said in surprise, the three young men, why did they have to run to the Frozen Forest, even they had to be careful everywhere, Harry didn't think the three of them had the ability to come back from the Frozen Forest.
"Don't worry, we won't drag you down."
Xia Yidao broke the mercenary's hesitation, they felt that it was really cumbersome to take three rookies on the road.
"We need to go deep into the frozen forest." Harry said, "We can take you with us, but on one condition, we'll send you back to Merry after a maximum of two days in the Frozen Forest." ”
For the sake of Captain Brent, a four-day delay back and forth is already the limit of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. Harry thinks that when the three little ones understand the cruelty of the frozen forest, they cry and cry out to go home......
