208. The Old Woman's Commission
"Xia Zuo." At this time, Long Ge chased after him from the rear one step later. Sure enough, the speed was not as fast as the current Xia Zuo, Long Ge's expression was not very willing, and when she spread her wings and landed, she found an old man standing in front of Xia Zuo.
Sarina bowed and thanked Xia Zuo for saving her life and helping her heal her wounds, and as soon as she stood up straight, she found that there were other people flying down from the sky.
"Is it a subhuman...?" She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "No... It's supposed to be a beastman, but it's not quite like that..."
Long Ge landed and folded his wings, turning into an appearance that was no different from that of the human race, and now it was even more difficult for Sarina to identify the race to which Long Ge belonged.
"I've won you faster than I," Xia Zuo said with a slightly smug look back, "Then according to the bet, the lunch will be prepared by you." β
Long Ge folded his arms and nodded. She didn't find it a hassle to prepare lunch, she was just disappointed by her failure.
Even if Xia Zuo didn't have to eat, Long Ge could not eat for the time being, but at Xia Zuo's request, the two still set the principle of eating on time. Xia Zuo looked at his body every time, he lost his previous sense of metabolism, but he didn't want to eat only as a memory thing, and he always needed to be reminded that he was a human being, and he would always find a way to go back one day.
"Youβ" Sarina had stopped talking, but now she was about to ask something, "who are you?" β
"It's just that we're passing travelers," Xia Zuo replied lightly, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Ma'am, it's too dangerous nearby, why do you move here alone?" β
"I'm looking for my son..."Sarina bent her knees slightly, and at the same time gestured with her hands, "My name is Sarina, and my son's name is Alan, in his early twenties, brown hair, and he is dressed as a swordsman, and he is about this tall..."
Xia Zuo saw Sarina anxiously making movements, and couldn't help but listen patiently for a while.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I've been here for less than you and haven't seen your son." Xia Zuo expressed regret.
Then he also introduced Sarina - about himself and Long Ge, and said to send her back, but Sarina insisted on standing there and shaking her head, refusing to leave anywhere.
"Are you going to go to the island in the middle of the lake?" Sarina didn't plan to be so direct, because it was a secret, but she was concerned about Alan's safety.
Xia Zuo was a little surprised, the village chief and the bishop had said that there were no residents nearby, ordinary people didn't know what was in the center of the lake, even if they went by boat, they would be deflected by mysterious forces, and they couldn't cross the water in a straight line.
"Alan, heβ" Sarina dodged her eyes, and then looked at Xia Zuo firmly, "The purpose of his coming here is to go inside." β
Xia Zuo didn't respond, just glanced at her, didn't want to reveal his next trip, and then walked towards the lake.
"Long Ge, please send this old woman to a safe place, and then prepare lunch and wait for me." Xia Zuo said.
"Yes." The dragon song saluted in response.
Xia Zuo's frowning eyes were aroused, "Why are you still answering me like this... We are already in an equal relationship, and we are not master and slave, so you are asked to prepare lunch but you lost to me on the flight, and if I lose, I will obediently go and collect the ingredients. β
"It's a little unaccustomed to it for a while," the dragon singer poked his chin with his finger, "I'll change it, since you want it so much..."
"Please, if you're going to an island in the middle of the lake, please help me find my son's whereabouts." Sarina stepped forward excitedly, ignoring Long Ge, who had come to escort her.
"I can pay you money, these... All the money I brought with me is here," Sarina hurriedly took out some copper plates from her coat pocket, as well as a few iron coins, perhaps feeling shabby herself, she turned her coat pocket out without hesitation, and finally only found three variegated gems, "I live in the suburbs, and I don't need money on weekdays... But when I sell the ripe fruit in the orchard, I will get the money, and then I will compensate you, is that okay? And I have a few cheap gems here, all brought back by Allen..."
Xia Zuo didn't stop walking, and sighed, "Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on your son, but I won't want your belongings, old woman," Xia Zuo turned around and said, because the money on his body was more than enough to buy a castle, and he didn't need to take it from a poor old man's pocket...
Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, and from between the old man's outstretched hands, he saw a stone that was not good-looking-compared to the other two, it was even darker, and the color was uneven, even if he didn't need to look at its name-"Fallen Stone", Xia Zuo could also identify it from its appearance, it was the main ingredient for making the "Stone of Silence" alchemy potion "Fallen Stone".
"How can this be, that's too much to be desired," Sarina said, her eyes sank, "you saved me, and now you're helping me find Eren - without expecting anything in return..."
"Since I can't help it, then I'll reluctantly accept one of the stones," Xia Zuo took a step forward, almost snatched the words, and pointed to the "Fallen Stone" in the palm of Sarina's hand, "That's it." β
"This?" Sarina was puzzled for a moment, and then decisively held everything out with both hands, "Of course, please take it now." β
Xia Zuo stood in place and shook his head, "When I help you find him, it's not too late... Describe if he has any other physical features, a brown-haired swordsman, um... What about other than that? β
"Ah, he wears a silver headband with red gems... It seems to have been given to him by the owner of the island, and he will never leave it," Sarina said hurriedly, her eyes sad.
"Okay, I've received your commission," Xia Zuo changed from a smiling expression to a serious and serious expression, "but before you go to fulfill the commission, you must evacuate to a safe place, along the way, I saw a lot of monsters, it is very dense in this forest, and it is too dangerous to stay." β
However, as soon as there was a high-spirited dragon song along the road, he unconsciously released his coercion, and the little monsters hid far away, and Xia Zuo only used the "Falcon Vision" to see their backs in the distance.
Xia Zuo glanced at Long Ge and motioned for her to proceed according to the previous arrangement, and the latter nodded.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you... I'm tired, Mr. Xia Zuo. Before leaving, Sarina bowed again.
After the separation, Xia Zuo walked alone to the exit of the forest, in the open area full of light, where the "Lake of Tranquility" was located.
Gently step on the slightly dry and sandy riverbank, because the lake is still and the stones on the riverbank are rarely wet. The front is foggy, and Xia Zuo can't see the other side clearly. Where is the island in the middle of the lake? Is it centered? Maybe you can only notice it when you arrive at that place and feel the rejection from the magic of illusions.
Xia Zuo didn't need a ferry, his feet floated off the ground, and he moved towards the lake in front of him...
Buried in your head, the surface of the lake reflects your feet like a mirror, and the texture on the bottom of your boots is clearly visible. There were no fish or other creatures in the lake, otherwise it wouldn't have been so dead.
Suddenly, the field of vision turned, and Xia Zuo noticed something strange - the picture in front of him turned from one place to another, facing the trees in front of him, and now he was looking towards the woods on the left just now...
At this point, the direction of the triangle arrow on the minimap can prove itself, and it also turns inexplicably, so the illusion magic is here.
Xia left to hover, turned around, aimed his palm in front of the empty object, and blinked "Break".
A scatter of purple light distorted the space in front of it, as if camouflage had lost its effect, revealing an island with the majestic Black Castle.
