Chapter 2 Ride
A clear voice reached Jason's ears.
Jason's footsteps paused.
He's not a nosy man.
It's just that......
The fragrance on the tip of his nose made him a little concerned.
Turning, Jason stood on tiptoe and cautiously approached the bathroom.
Easily, Jason discovered the source of the sound.
The other party has no intention of hiding.
Or rather, the other party thinks that he is hidden enough.
But for Jason, who perceives more than twice as much as ordinary people, it is 'clearly visible'.
In the innermost compartment without a door in the bathroom, a low, skinny monkey-like monster with a protruding mouth like a crocodile, and a mouth full of sharp teeth was gnawing on a cat.
The opponent's gnawing action is careful and fast.
Not only is the sound very weak, but there is very little blood scattered, and the mouth is swallowed with all the flesh and bones, and after chewing several times, the mouth is opened again and continues to swallow.
A house cat of not too big a size.
After only four or five times, there is only a little fur left.
Jason watched the whole eating process quietly.
There was nothing he could do about the dead cat, but for the monster, Jason smelled the more and more intense fragrance, and his mind was full of multiple ways to cook and fry.
Obviously, the food just now has made this monster more and more delicious.
Standing still for a moment, Jason slowly stepped out as the monster began to lick its paws.
"Squeak!"
The monster spotted Jason, opened its mouth and let out a sharp hiss, and sprang straight up, its sharp claws grabbing Jason's eyes.
Leaning back slightly, Jason easily avoided the grab, and then, with his right hand, pinched the opponent's neck, and the thumb and index finger were staggered.
Click!
With the crisp sound of bone misalignment, the monster, which had been greaking its teeth fiercely a moment ago, collapsed in Jason's hands and quickly fell into suffocation.
Unlike relying on firearms at the 'Lorde' moment, when Jason's stats continue to grow, and after [hand-to-hand combat] reaches the mastery level, he will not need a firearm at all when facing some small or normal monsters.
Jason can clearly feel the improvement of his own strength.
Couldn't help it, the corners of Jason's mouth turned up slightly.
But at the thought of the sudden sense of oppression in Pea Street, Jason immediately shook his head and put away the pride that had just appeared.
Proud?
How can he be proud?
He's still too far away.
Opening the box, wrapping the food in a change of clothes, and placing it in the box, Jason picked up the box and walked downstairs.
The layout of the downstairs is similar to that of the second floor.
It's just that the staircase becomes a gate for entry and exit.
There is also a small hall with a round coffee table and small stools near the gate.
Two gray-haired, well-dressed old men are sitting around the small hall drinking afternoon tea, it should be black tea with milk and honey, the pastry shelf divided into two layers has small biscuits on the upper floor, and some small fruits on the lower floor.
"Good afternoon, little Jason!"
"Good afternoon."
"Did Claure say you're going to the harbor of 'Hans'?"
"It's not close, so you'd better get off early."
"The public carriage is too slow, you have to hire a wagon."
"No, the train is the fastest."
"It's a pity that there is no train in Jedanlen, and the nearest place is also in 'Goersay'."
After the two old men greeted Jason, they immediately took care of themselves and said one word at a time.
In the words, the information revealed, Jason silently remembered in his heart.
There are already trains here, but there shouldn't be enough tracks to cover all the towns.
Therefore, the wagon is still the first choice for going far.
And also......
Crowle, the director of the welfare home, should be a big mouth.
Thinking in his heart, Jason nodded to the two old men and prepared to leave.
As the two old men said, the harbor of 'Hans' was not near, and he had better set off early.
"Don't worry."
"I'll keep your room for you forever."
"The harbor of 'Hans' is a nice place."
"When you're young, you should go out and do more."
One of the old men, apparently the landlord here, gave Jason a fairly clear assurance, and then, the words were full of encouragement.
The other old man seemed to be not to be outdone, and as soon as his old friend's voice fell, he opened his mouth and said.
"Little Jason, if you want to hire a wagon, you can go to my car dealership."
"You know, 'Delin Cars.'"
"Tell them you're a friend of old Delin, and those lads will know what to do."
With that, Old Delin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Jason.
"Thank you."
In the face of the old man's kindness, Jason didn't have any intention of refusing, and then took the business card, and after sincerely thanking him, he turned around and left.
"I hope Jason Jr. has the best of luck all the way."
"Definitely, he's so good."
"Did you watch the recent series "Gone Cat"?"
"I heard that it was adapted from a real incident that happened in Jadanlen, and it was really scary."
"How is that possible? I know that author, who is a fat man who eats and drinks everywhere in the name of collecting style, how could he encounter such a terrible thing. ”
As Jason walked away, he couldn't hear the conversation in the apartment behind him.
Maybe read more newspapers later, though!
Glancing at the box with the 'food' in his hand, Jason thought.
Then, Jason picked up the pace.
Jason is not familiar with Jadanlen.
But someone is absolutely familiar.
Without going far, Jason stood at the intersection and stopped a public carriage.
"Go to the 'Delin Cars'."
Jason said.
"Okay, 3 Del."
The coachman replied.
Jason pulled out his wallet, first took out the 5 bill, and immediately, he saw the embarrassment on the coachman's face, and then, when he took out the four coins in the wallet, he could clearly see the coachman's relief.
When handing the hand holding the coins to the coachman, the coachman carefully picked up three of them.
Obviously, 1 coin is 1 del.
"Please get in the car."
The coachman said.
The carriage was much smaller than Lord's public carriage, and it was not packed, except for a man in a black robe.
Jason glanced at the other and sat down on the opposite side, the farthest spot.
For strangers, Jason doesn't say it's a stubble, and his inner vigilance will only make him clench his weapon.
But the other side is not like this.
After seeing Jason sitting down, he immediately turned sideways and said:
"Hello, destined traveler."
"Do you need a divination?"
"I'm a soothsayer."
The robed man asked.
"No, I don't."
Jason simply refused.
"Don't you wonder why I know you're an imminent traveler?"
The soothsayer is tricky.
I just said 'Delin Cars'.
And the box at my feet.
It's all about that.
Jason said inwardly, and then, just glancing at the box at his feet.
Immediately, the soothsayer laughed awkwardly.
But immediately, the other party spoke again:
"I'm a soothsayer."
"I know a lot of things that ordinary people don't know."
"You also seem to be a man of learning."
"Why don't we make a game?"
"How about I ask you a question and you can't answer it, give me 1 del, and if you ask me a question and I can't answer it, give you 5 del?"
"Okay."
Jason
"How many people are there in Jadanlen?"
The soothsayer asked.
"I don't know."
Jason shook his head honestly, and then, pulled out 1 del.
"It's your turn."
The soothsayer took 1 Del, a slight smug in his voice.
"What creature is four-legged in the morning, two-legged at noon, and three-legged at night?"
Jason asked.
The soothsayer was stunned.
After half a minute, the soothsayer shook his head.
"I don't know."
As he spoke, he handed it to Jason 5 Del, and then the other party immediately asked, "What kind of creature is it?" ”
"I don't know."
Jason handed 1 of the 5 Del to the other person.
Seeing that the change in his hand had turned into 4 Del again, Jason unconsciously became better, and after putting it in his wallet, he looked up at the soothsayer who was still in a daze.
"I'm sorry, I'm here!"
The soothsayer knocked on the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
"Sir, are you still ......?"
"I'm here!"
"I just want to be here!"
With such an emphatic tone, the soothsayer quickly walked away, and the hurried pace was as if there was a monster behind him chasing after him.
Jason smiled and leaned back comfortably.
The feeling of chartering......
That's nice.
