Chapter 5: The Heart of Purple Maple
"Oh, so much has happened during my absence."
"Yes, if there is such a trouble, the company's turnover will definitely decline in the next quarter, and I don't know how to explain it to the shareholders." Tifario couldn't help but have a distressed face.
"Thankfully, I gave up the position of president early. Otherwise, I'm the one who will be the one who will be the brainkiller. Lu Xi patted his chest happily, but then he felt a little painful, as one of the major shareholders of the group, he lost all his own money. Thinking of this, his expression when he looked at Olivier became more and more unkind.
"Lucy, my friend, maybe the supreme grace of my generation will make the world fall for me, but why does your gaze make me so uncomfortable."
"It's too suspicious to look at you. Obviously he is a nobleman, but he doesn't bring a single entourage, so he has to go to see the red maple valley in the forest. And by such a coincidence, as soon as we got there, we encountered the Crypt Lord crawling out of the passage; Plus there's been so much weird stuff going on in the forest lately...... Could it be that you're also here to make soy sauce? ”
"Actually, I'm really here to make soy sauce."
"Alright, Daddy, you turn him into a frog."
"I can't do such a delicate transfiguration, but I can turn him into a sheep."
"Yes, yes, you can turn me into a sheep. Haven't you heard of a song: I would like to be a lamb and follow her. I would like her to keep hitting me with a leather whip every day......"
"Tonight's main dish is roasted whole lamb!"
"Please forgive me for not knowing whether to live or die." Olivier nodded and raised his hands, "Actually, it's really just a coincidence. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xi picked up a brick from the ground, and Olivier hurriedly shouted, "Please trust me." My intention to come here is simply because I know that the heart of Zifeng is about to bear fruit. ”
"The Heart of Purple Maple? Who wants to know the name of such a middle two thing! Lu Xi sneered.
"Huh, don't you know? You're still a resident here. Olivier slapped Lu Xi fiercely with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and then said slowly: "In the maple forest of Red Maple Valley, it is said that one purple maple tree can appear in every ten thousand red maple trees. Legend has it that it can only bloom once every 100 years, and it can only unravel once every 100 years, and this fruit is the legendary heart of the purple maple......"
"This fruit has the effect of medicine white bones, the living dead, and it is an elixir that is difficult to change." Lu Xi added angrily.
"Oh, don't you know?"
"I don't know, it's just that it's generally this kind of rotten street, so boring that I'd rather play peek-a-boo."
“…… My father has been in poor health recently. You know, people get a little suspicious when they're old. Once when we were having dinner together, he said, 'My health is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how many times I can drink.' My eldest brother replied that whatever kind of wine my father wanted to drink, he would buy it back. My second brother replied that he would snatch back all the world's famous wines and let my father smell the wine every day at home; My sister said that for the sake of my father's body, I should stop drinking; I said, 'Count it up, the time for the Purple Maple Heart to come to fruition is about to come, and I'll go and retrieve it for you.' In this way, you can live for at least another thirty years, and you can drink as much as you want. ”
"Your dad must be impressed, right?"
"My father laughed and said, 'What a funny wild boy.' Then he kicked me out without giving me any of them, and said that if I couldn't find them, I wouldn't be allowed to go home. ”
"It's pathetic, your dad must not like you. But considering your personality, I quite understand his old man. ”
"What do you mean? …… However, it doesn't matter if you like it or not. After all, it is he who has given me life as a son, and I always have to do my duty for my father. ”…,
"Well, young man, you're pretty good at that." Tifario stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively, "I understand your desire to be filial; But young man, you made a big mistake. ”
"Please advise ......"
"The so-called sacred tree Purple Maple is indeed a treasure: its branches can make priceless staffs, its bark can be made into armor that is difficult to penetrate, and even its leaves and petals can be used as props for casting spells and drawing runes; This is the only fruit......"
"Well, the fruit must have a more magical effect, right?"
"Only this fruit can be said to be the only thing that is useless in the purple maple tree, at best it is just a good-looking fruit, and I still think it is too hard to make ingredients."
Olivier looked at Tifario dumbfounded, as if trying to find some sign of joke in his face, but unfortunately the result disappointed him; Tifario shook his head with a pout: "To the outside world, the Norda Forest does seem to be too mysterious, and anything can be rumored like this. You don't want to think about it: if the fruit of the purple maple tree really has this effect, where will it be your turn to pick it? Well, little Lucy, it's really a wise choice for us to start a company! ”
"Well, instead of being suspicious and suspicious every day, just open the door to welcome customers. Besides, the world has changed, and the elves can't always rest on their laurels, so why not make a little money by the way? Lu Xi said. He was beginning to figure out how to solve the problem of next quarter's turnover target, but Olivier next to him was already letting out a wail like a puppy that had been stepped on his stomach.
"Uh...... Eh, eh! ”
When Olivier let out this kind of sorrow that was almost a scream, Lu Xi found that the guy whose life was more miraculous than himself appeared, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
At this time, everyone had already passed through the layers of woods, and the scenery in front of them had also changed. Small pebbles on the flat ground form meandering passages, and ornate spiral staircases hover between towering trees and mountain springs. Nestled in the midst of mountains, rivers and forests, the delicate Yashiki blends in with nature and creates a beautiful whole, like a carefully painted picture.
This is the largest town in Cangbi City, except for the "Ten Thousand Green Secret Realm" in the capital of Norda.
At this time, a crisp "ding dong" sound that only Lu Xi could hear sounded in his ears, and a translucent panel that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes: "The C-level mission 'Visiting Red Maple Valley' has been successfully completed, and 2000 experience will be rewarded." ”
Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief slightly. If it weren't for the mission to bring Olivier back to the city safely, he would have left that guy to the Crypt Lord a long time ago, so why bother with it. However, when encountering gold-level Warcraft, it is only a C-level mission, and this cheat father's system is becoming more and more stingy.
In this way, Lu Xi has accumulated more than 50,000 experience, which is enough to raise the level of civilians to level 20 or above. He still gave up on leveling up, and just took out 2000 experience to upgrade his meditation skill from level 4 to level 5. No matter what industry you work in the future, this skill that can quickly recover your body and spirit will not go out of style.
The above qiē movements are all carried out in the mind, and others think that this bear child is in a daze again, and they will not think much about it.
Several elven guards dressed in dark green scale armor and carrying bows and arrows and scimitars greeted them, and they picked up the sleeping Nicole from the panther and walked away quickly, while the leader strode straight over.
The gaze of the leading elf intentionally or unintentionally made a silent look at Lu Xi, and then looked at Olivier with scrutiny and alertness for a long time, before he bent down to Tifario and saluted: "Your Excellency the Great Druid, I salute you." ”…,
"It's Carlo Fengal, who's getting more and more like a good leader. Is Tido there? ”
"Lady Tidlight is waiting for you in the council hall."
The Great Druid did not respond immediately, he looked at a four-wheeled carriage parked on the side of the road, and muttered: "It seems that there is a guest arriving." ”
"It's Master Oluseiro of the Natya Federation."
"Oh, it's finally here." Tifario was slightly stunned, groaned for a moment, glanced at Lu Xi with a complicated gaze, and strode towards the hall.
At this time, Lu Xi had already walked lightly to the side of an elven warrior and talked to him in a low voice.
"How? Nothing happened, right? ”
"It's okay, because the notice was timely, everyone who went out to pick up private work came back safely."
"Are those customers willing to just come back? It's not going to make trouble, is it? ”
"Of course someone is making trouble! But the one who shouted the most was knocked out by Master Kalofengal. The others had no choice but to come back with us. ”
"Well done! As long as there are no dead people, the company's reputation will not be affected. Lu Xi gave a thumbs up to Kalofenger with admiration, "Brother Hawkeye is mighty, kill and decide to dominate the rivers and lakes, and when the Frost Dew Fairy Bar is gone, I will pay!" In addition, this month's dividend will be added by 20%. ”
A smile broke down on Kalofengal's face. He looked around, rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and said, "Since there is an extra dividend, then I should come to treat you." ”
Kalofengal Hawkeye is a level 29 war dancer and a level 25 panther hunter, and his overall strength has also reached the silver level 10 in the system, and he is about to enter the gold position and become the top master in the world. He is now serving as the Black Panther Commander in Emerald City, and is responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the Norda Forest. Since Noorda started the tourism business, there have been more and more foreign tourists, and he is also responsible for taking care of some forbidden places and maintaining order and law and order in the city.
The reason why Lu Xi and some fox friends were able to take on private jobs to make extra money was naturally because he had already bought off the "police chief" of Cangbi City.
However, as an elf, Hawkeye's morality is at least much stronger than that of humans, and it is a little embarrassing to receive money and then let people treat them. It's like the real power of human beings, even eating, drinking, playing and exercising, and then how to take it and how to take it, as for whether to do it or not, it depends on the mood.
Hawkeye looked at Olivier on the side again, and lowered his voice in Lu Xi's ear: "This guy is not an ordinary traveler, you can see it, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's ordinary, anyway, he gives a lot of money, and that's a nobleman. Brother Eagle, our slogan is ......"
"Only the rich, no matter what is right. I understand, I understand. Hawkeye showed a knowing smile, no matter how you look at it, there are a few philistines and obscenities. For a High Elf nobleman who has almost carved elegance and arrogance in his bones, it is really not easy to show such an expression.
At this time, there were a few dull coughing sounds in the ears of the two, and Kalofengel suddenly sweated profusely, and gave Lu Xi a miserable look, and turned his head tremblingly, only to find that Tifario had come out again at some point,
"I'll settle accounts with you later." Tifario glared at Hawkeye fiercely and yelled at Lu Xi, "Stinky boy, what are you doing there?" Come in with me! ”
"Huh? Sister Tido didn't say she was going to summon me! ”
"You're the party!" Tifario didn't say much, just grabbed Lu Xi's collar and lifted him in like a kitten.
