Chapter 21: The Reunion of Hanshamn (Five More Requests for Subscription~Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
A short but fulfilling night's sleep left Jason feeling refreshed.
He awoke about a moment before dawn, and, after a little movement, opened the book that the old sir had given him again.
In this book, there are not only the information and secret techniques and rituals of those monsters, but also quite a lot of knowledge and some secrets, so it can be said that this is completely a small encyclopedia of the mysterious side of 'Lorde'.
In order to be more relaxed when he goes back in the future, Jason does not skimp on time to read.
And reading is always enjoyable.
Pleasant times are short-lived.
At daylight, after Peters had replenished his food and water, Jason boarded the carriage with his books in his pocket.
Looking at the distant village, Jason carefully took off his clothes and jumped out of the carriage.
The practice of charging began again.
It's like yesterday.
This time, though, Jason was a little more crippled.
Because the holy water (broth) and the holy oil (fat) are completely gone.
Perhaps the speed of recovering physical strength and energy is not as fast as eating food directly, but the ability to recover slowly and the inability to recover slowly are two concepts.
So much so, that by the time it got dark, Jason was almost literally exhausted.
Leave only a trace of stamina, just in case.
"Eat something."
"The bacon I bought in the village."
"They prepared it for the 'Harvest Festival.'"
Around the campfire, Peters handed over the bowl.
Very simple food: rice porridge boiled bacon.
After the white rice is boiled, a little bacon is added, which has both a salty taste and a meaty taste.
The staple food is dry food roasted over a campfire.
Corn is mixed with chaff.
Also purchased in the previous village, after heating on the bonfire, it becomes more and more crispy, a bite of rice porridge and a bite of cake, the former softens the latter, so that it does not scratch the throat, and also adds a hint of saltiness and meat.
And this is already something that can only be eaten on the festival of low-level civilians.
Most of the time, chaff and wild vegetables are the main foods.
Corn is rare.
These are all things that Peters told Jason while cooking.
Peters, who should have been accustomed to silence, said this with a face full of emotion.
Then, with a sigh of shaking his head, Peters prepared to get the tortillas.
At this time, Jason asked.
"Do you know of monsters that resemble Nightmare Worms?"
"Or something like that, you know?"
Jason asked, taking two more tortillas and refilling the bowl of porridge.
Jason, who suffers from a lack of firepower, also suffers from satiety deficiency unknowingly.
Whenever I see satiety drop to single digits, I always feel uneasy.
Especially after the 'holy water' and 'holy oil' are sold out one after another, such satiety deficiency will appear in a more violent way.
For example: He is feeling hungry right now.
Want to eat more.
"[Nightmare Bug], is a kind of insect cultivated with sleep traps, without any attack power, and the defense is also very low, but it can pull people into nightmares through the sound of cicadas, I don't know how it first appeared, but after being discovered by the previous director of the 'Cat Cave', it became one of the guardians of the 'Cat Hole', and later with the demise of the 'Cat Cave', they were re-cultivated by the 'Revival Society'."
"As for similar monsters?"
"There are a lot of them!"
"There are dozens of species of [Toulet], [Human-faced Spider], [Two-Headed Snake], [Burst Mushroom], [Bomb Pepper], [Big Bone Snake], etc."
Peters didn't hide it and told Jason everything.
The 'cat hole' swordsman who counted the monsters with his fingers crossed didn't notice that Jason was secretly swallowing saliva there,
"Are these monsters on the way to the harbor of 'Hans'?"
Jason immediately asked.
Then, he took two more tortillas and filled a bowl of porridge.
"Nope!"
"Most of them were tamed by the genre and became guardians."
"But with the demise of the genre, so have these guardians, and maybe someone in the Federation has domesticated them, but that's not something I can know."
"If it's wild, there should be some, but you need to go to the barren land to find it."
Peters said truthfully.
"Is that so?"
Jason was a little disappointed.
He also wanted to go hunting along the way, not only to replenish his satiety, but also to complete the advancement of the 'Night Watch', you must know that with the description of Peters just now, the last unfinished condition for his advancement to the 'Night Watchman': the need to hunt ten different monsters and be familiar with the characteristics, has become 9/10.
Jason, full of disappointment, reached out again and took two tortillas and filled a bowl of porridge.
"But ......"
"I know of a rumor."
"But I can't confirm the authenticity."
Peters suddenly thought of something, but before he could say it, he reminded Jason.
"What rumors?"
Jason asked.
Then he took the last tortilla in his hand and poured the last porridge into his bowl.
"Sea monster!"
"There are rumors of sea monsters in the harbor of 'Hans'!"
"Some say it's a giant octopus."
"Some say it's a big lizard."
"Someone else said......"
"It's a dragon!"
Peters was engrossed in telling the rumor he knew, and then he saw Jason trembling and swallowing.
"What's wrong?"
Peters asked in surprise.
He didn't think Jason, the 'Bear Tower' warrior, was scared.
Is something happening?
"Nothing."
"I'm just a little hungry."
Jason replied, turned and boarded the carriage.
Peters looked down at the empty pot and the all the gone, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He just ate a bowl.
None of the tortillas were eaten.
This is what the teacher once said, when eating, you should focus on the food and don't talk?
Flicking the campfire, Peters thought his teacher was right.
The journey continues.
With the rumours from Peters' mouth, Jason has more to expect from the harbor of 'Hans'.
They are moving faster and faster.
First, because time is getting tighter and shorter.
The second reason is that Jason is becoming more and more familiar with the 'charge', he can sprint for a considerable distance, and the speed has become faster again, so that Peters has to urge the horse to catch up, although in the end, Jason will still fall, but there is already room for control, and it is not far from complete mastery.
When the wind smelled of seawater, Jason knew he was not far from the harbor of 'Hans'.
And when the time came to noon on the 25th, Jason heard the sound of the waves, and the harbor city appeared in his vision.
Patches of white sails join together on the turquoise sea.
Colorful roofs are scattered at the front.
High in the lighthouse, seagulls fly.
When the warm sea breeze blows, that pleasant chirp follows.
The chill of autumn was dispelled in an instant.
"A city that makes people feel good."
"The pearl of the Federation: Hanshamn!"
Peters exclaimed.
Jason didn't object, he had not seen the sea for a long time, he was already intrigued, and then, just as Jason was about to enter Hanse Harbor, while there was still plenty of time, to taste the local specialties.
An unexpected person appeared in front of Jason.
No.
Unexpected deceased, to be exact.
"Good afternoon, Jason~"
