Chapter 3 A glass of 82-year-old rye wine

The land of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time.

Charlotte didn't stay at the scene of the "Goblin Massacre" for long, after all, the carnivorous beasts in the Silver Pine Forest were still very ferocious. Although the meat of goblins is fishy and sassy, but wild wolves and grizzly bears will not care.

He had been in the woods for three days, and had gained a great harvest; It's time to get back to town and recuperate.

Charlotte took her clay stone demon and wild boar and rushed back all the way over the mountains and mountains. I don't chase rabbits when I see them, and I don't chase pheasants when I encounter them. All the way to the west, I hurried back to the nearest town, Gruyar, when the sun was setting in the west.

It was the first and only human gathering place Charlotte had encountered since he crossed over, and he hadn't gone far yet.

Of course, since you have crossed into such a magical world, who can endure loneliness and die in an unknown town?

Charlotte summoned the Clay Stone Demon and the Stonetooth Boar at the edge of the forest, after all, in this world, the Dharma Master is still the Dharma Master, and they are all high-ranking figures, and they can't be seen in idleness.

In such a remote town, it's better not to be too shocking. If a battle does break out and you need to summon helpers, Charlotte can summon her retinue at any time, provided that there is enough magic power, of course.

Charlotte saw from a distance the walls of Gruyar, about two stories high, five or six meters high. It was a rudimentary fence with a belvedere on it, and town guards with bows and arrows were watching over the forest in the distance. The sight of danger rings the alarm bell in the belvedere.

Because in the Silver Pine Forest, some beasts or monsters often run out to harass the town, so their mission is crucial. It's also less secure.

"Hey, Charlotte, you're back. Wow, you can bring back a big bag of stuff every time, is the Silver Pine Forest your back garden? Hans, who was standing guard at the town gate, saw Charlotte from afar and shouted. Charlotte has a good relationship with them.

"Yes, I just got back from my Silver Pine Farm." Charlotte was carrying a large deerskin backpack on his back, and he had already taken the things he wanted to dispose of in town out of his inventory.

His inventory has 40 slots, so he can fit a lot of things. But I couldn't do it in public, so I put it in a large buckskin backpack that I had sewn early. He also had a rabbit, a pheasant, and two squirrels around his waist. Like a hunter with a full load.

Many times, the hunters in the town are afraid to go too far into the Silver Pine Forest. If a hunter encounters a hunting party of wild goblins, the result is an extra main course for the goblins' dinner. If you don't go deep into the forest, you won't get that much.

Charlotte patted the bearded guard, who was not yet thirty years old, and said, "I guessed that you were standing guard today." Now, these pine nuts are a snack for everyone. This one was given to little Hans as a toy. ”

As he spoke, he gave Hans a small bag of pine nuts, and a large pine tower two circles larger than an adult's fist. Hans's son was just five years old, and he was a tiger-brained child, and Charlotte liked it.

"Ha, you know you get something good every time!"

Hans and a few guards around him divided the pine nuts one by one. Supposedly, Gruyar guards the silver pine forest, and pine nut mushrooms or something are nothing at all.

But the pine nuts ripen in October-November, and now it's only August, and the pine nuts are all taken out by Charlotte in the squirrel's warehouse. The poor squirrel will not only be eaten himself, but will not even let go of the little food in the nest.

Charlotte said goodbye to the guards and walked into the town, and when she entered the gate, the first thing was a stone street, but the stone was rough, so the road was far from smooth, but it was the best road in the whole town.

In the other alleys, it's either rubble or land. If it rains, there will be puddles and mud all over the place.

The buildings facing the street on both sides are two- or three-story brick and stone buildings, and the lower floor is mostly used for shops, and the upper floor is used for living. In some cases, a wooden stick was laid out on the second-floor windowsill, on which linen clothes were dried. This reminded Xia Luo of the story of Pan Jinlian and Ximenqing.

Elsewhere Charlotte is not clear, but as far as this Gruard is concerned, it is like medieval Europe on Earth. Pedestrians are dusty, and you must know that it is very laborious to take a bath at this time, so their hygiene is not good. It's normal to have the smell of sweat on your body.

In fact, for the past three months, Charlotte has been bathing in a small river or creek in the wilderness. Digging a well is a very important and laborious task because it is done manually.

It may take more than half a month for a dozen people to complete. The premise is that the excavation location is chosen and the groundwater level is high.

As for the houses, only the main street is next to the two-story brick and stone building, and the rest of the houses are one-storey. I haven't heard of steel and concrete in this world, and it is naturally a luxury to build a building.

The townspeople were wealthier and lived in brick and stone houses, and the average dwelling was wooden huts. There are even roofs of hay shops, where rotten hay has to be replaced every once in a while. In short, this other world is very backward and poor. But there is magic......

Charlotte first found a grocery store, which didn't sell groceries or anything like that, but herbs, leather, tools, and the like. He sells it himself, and at the same time buys these raw materials. Every time Charlotte came back from the Silver Pine Forest, she went to this grocery store to process some of her own harvest.

"What? 2 silver coins? What are you kidding? Keep your green bean eyes open and take a closer look! This is the skin of a timberwolf in the prime of life, without wounds, and of high quality! Add another 50 copper, or I'll take it to the union and sell it......"

Two wolf skins for 5 silver coins, three rabbit skins for 1 silver and 50 copper, a number of herbs for 3 silver and 80 copper, a goblin rotten leather armor for 6 silver, and a rusty wood knife for 1 silver...... Miscellaneous stuff. A total of 19 silver was sold. Charlotte tapped the money bag in her hand as she walked.

"This old bastard is getting more and more picky, if it weren't for the fact that there is a grocery store like this in the town, it wouldn't be cheaper for him......" Grual is not a prosperous place, on the contrary, it is a town in a ravine.

Fortunately, the location is remote, but there is no chaos. There are about four or five thousand permanent residents, and there are some floating people who come from nearby farms and villages to buy and sell things. There are only a few times of the year when small caravans come here to buy hides and pine nuts, pine oil, mushrooms and other specialties.

Don't look at this grocery store doesn't look like a big deal, you really can't open it without a certain number of contacts and skills. Most of the people who come to sell things are adventurers or hunters from outside, so don't expect them to have a good temper. And most of the people who buy things are caravans that come here to buy goods.

The average people here are like illiterate people in the Middle Ages, not to mention literate, they lack logic, they are not organized, and they can't even understand words.

So the grocery store owner is a real character in the town. It should be said that the status of businessmen in this world is really not low. It's completely different from the ancient times of my Great Celestial Empire.

At this time, Charlotte came to a small three-story wooden building, and the faΓ§ade was not small, of course, it was here.

The two solid wood doors were wide open, and there were many people inside. Directly above the gate is a large wooden board with an insignia painted on it: a cross of swords and axes on the shield, and the letters RS below. This is the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is a large but loose organization. There are all over the country, some are big and some are small, some are so powerful that even the city lord has to give up three points of face, and some are as small as Gruyar, there are no strong people, and there are not even too many members.

Charlotte strode in and walked straight to the counter. At the counter was a young man in his twenties, looking down to sort through the parchment papers.

Charlotte knocked on the table and said, "Hey, little Jimmy, help me call old Jimmy." I have a few ears here that he needs to count......"

"Ahh Mr. Charlotte! It's great that you're back......" Little Jimmy is at the age of hot blood, and he admires Charlotte who can come and go freely in the Silver Pine Forest, and of course Charlotte is full of skill "Bragging B" before he crosses over.

In Charlotte's mouth, he is a hero who comes and goes freely in the deep forest, and takes it as his mission to fight evil wild goblins and drive out wild beasts. Sleep alone with danger...... In short, it is very bullish and very great.

Well, you can probably refer to characters like Batman + Robin Hood + Yang Guo......

"Ha, I have time to tell you about this adventure, go and call your dad first, I have a string of ears here that needs to be rewarded."

……

Charlotte came out of the Adventurer's Guild with 11 more silver coins in her purse. This time it was a good one, with a total of 30 silver coins in the bag. You must know that the average guard in the town only has 20 silver coins a month. Sometimes I even take some food and other things to carry the account. Charlotte wandered around the deep forest for three days, and he caught up with the guards' income for a month and a half.

Charlotte disposed of her belongings, hungry and headed straight for the only tavern in town.

The tavern had a small door, with a sign carved into it a wooden goblet and a fork and spoon alongside it. This is the only tavern in Gruyar, the Pine Needle Tavern.

Charlotte pushed the door in, and an atmosphere called hustle and bustle hit her face, which shocked people's spirits. It was almost dinner time, and there were quite a few people in the tavern, some of them still with fresh faces.

Gruyar is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not a well-known town, so it is not so prosperous. But there hasn't been any major chaos here for decades, and the people are still quite rich. Therefore, there are also some foot merchants who come to trade with their own cattle and carts.

He walked straight to a table in front of the bar and sat down. It is said that the tavern owner, Old Tryver, after modifying the tavern according to Charlotte's proposal, business has improved a lot.

Charlotte felt that it was mainly due to the few points of recipes he provided, and Charlotte didn't have much money when he first arrived, so in order not to be beaten for eating overlord meals, he provided so many so-called "ancestral recipes".

But old Trevor refused to admit it, "Ah, your recipe is good, but my original recipe is the most authentic traditional Middle-earth cuisine, which has lasted for thousands of years!" ”

Phew! In this social environment where you can't even mix food and clothing, you dare to mention traditional dishes to me? Put everything you can find and boil it in a jar and make it a paste. Is this also called a traditional dish? You shameless old man!

Trevor Sr. was an outstanding adventurer when he was young, and his adventure career has long since been sold out.

As soon as Charlotte sat down, the tavern's maid, Elsa, came over. Elsa is the daughter of old Trevor, seventeen or eighteen years old, full of youth and good figure; The pale blonde hair is combed into two braids, although it is a little freckled, but it is still very attractive with the deep facial features of the Caucasians.

She looked at Charlotte, who was still covered in blood and dust, and said, "It's nice to see you come back in its entirety." ”

"Hah! What does this mean? Charlotte smiled, "The Silver Pine Deep Forest is like my family's garden, can anyone get hurt in their own garden?" Xia Luo had an expression of "Uncle, I'm a cow, and the silver pine forest is all trivial".

"Oh......" Aisha deliberately lengthened, "I don't know who it was in the first place, surrounded by a group of wild goblins." If it weren't for the white deer's rescue, he would have become goblin manure and fertile his family's garden! ”

Elsa's joke made the tavern drinkers laugh, and they all knew the story.

"Hey, Charlotte! The wild goblins in your homeland aren't easy to mess with! ”

"Charlotte, next time you wander around your home, remember to bring your white deer!" From time to time, drunkards joke about Charlotte.

"Go drink your wine! 82-year-old rye wine can't stop your mouth......" The crowd burst into laughter again.

At the beginning, Charlotte saw that the girl in the tavern looked good, so he joked that he asked for a glass of 82-year-old rye wine. In the end, the girl was so amused that her face turned red. As a result, the 82-year-old rye wine has become an enduring "stalk" in this tavern.

"Please drink a glass of rye wine from 82 years old." "Tell me how scarce entertainment is in this other world, it's just such a joke, it's been more than three months, and I still mention it every day, and I look like I'm having endless fun.
