Alcohol is something that should not be touched on a single drop, especially when performing tasks that require careful treatment.

For example, high-altitude operations, such as tomb theft.

If the former is careless, he may fall from a high altitude and cause a tragedy, while the latter may activate a trap if he is careless, resulting in a life.

However, the above warnings have no effect on me, because under the premise of infusing the body with killing intent, the alcohol that enters my body will be dissipated as soon as possible.

I am the one who does not pour a thousand cups.

For me, probably the only downside to alcoholism is that I urinate a lot.

Even so, I filled half of the water bags I brought with me to the wine, just to relax my nervousness with its sweet and mellow taste.

After calming my restless heart a little, I continued to look around, my eyes sweeping over each bare rock protruding from the ground like a searchlight, and by the way, comparing the bare rock with my imagination to see if there was a spider or a horned monster.

However, after looking over and over again, I still couldn't find any clues.

The heart that had just settled down became impetuous again, and I frowned, holding on to the handle of the big sword, and poked the ground fiercely.

The ground was full of gravel and gravel, and I poked an inch-deep hole, and my impetuous mood did not improve at all, but worsened.

Irritable, I spat hard at the sand under my feet.

Rather than looking for it hopelessly, it is better to go to the border town of Dasai City, ask the homeless people in the border area, or ask the local elders, maybe the harvest will be greater.

Having made up my mind, I went back the way I came, boarded the airship, and asked the pilot to sail the airship to the nearest town.

......

......

Hyjal is one of the many border towns in Dasai, but when it comes to folk customs, it is one of the few towns that maintain ancient customs.

Here, you can still see the nomads driving their livestock.

This kind of lively scene is not seen in other developed towns where captivity is practiced and water supply is fixed for grass.

As soon as I stepped out of the hatch, a complex smell mixed with the scent of grass and cow and sheep urine came to my face, and I almost choked on the smell of this smell for the first time.

After getting off the airship, I arrived at the nearest hotel in front of a crowd of onlookers.

The hostel is old but surprisingly clean.

The owner of the inn was an elderly woman, who was quite neat and in good spirits.

There is also a very quiet little Lori in the hotel, about one or two years old, the same size as Remy.

The old woman told me that she was her granddaughter, and that she was a little scared of life, but very obedient.

The old woman was very talkative, and after serving me some home-cooked food, she moved a small bench and sat a little further away from me, and talked to me about her experiences over the years.

She told me that she and her husband had built the inn and had been running it for about forty years.

Today, the building is also badly damaged, and it may not be long before it will be demolished.

I asked her what she was going to do after the hotel was demolished, and if she was going to build a new one?

The old woman smiled and shook her head: "No, I plan to open a small grocery store, pull my granddaughter to grow up, get married and start a family, and I can close my eyes with peace of mind." ”

I used to ask her what the rest of the family was doing.

The old woman shook her head again: "My husband left two years ago, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were also killed by the rogues who came here a year ago, the second son and the younger son wanted to avenge the eldest brother, changed careers and became adventurers, and died in the dungeon because of an accident half a year ago, and now, only our grandparents and grandchildren are left." ”

At this point, the old woman secretly wiped the corners of her eyes and wiped away the old tears that had not yet flowed.

After the meal, I asked the old woman where the elders lived.

The old woman didn't understand, so I put it another way and explained: it was someone who knew a lot of legends.

This time the old woman understood, and she sighed, and said, "Look for the wise man, go out of the gate, and go along the corner of the street, until at the end there is a hut with a steeple, and there is a house with a spire, and there is the house of the wise man." ”

I thanked him, and left a gold coin behind as I left.

Not far from the door, the old woman also chased after me, she staggered, almost fell down several times, but still chased after me, and kept calling me.

"Please wait, this guest, please stay......" The old woman's voice was urgent, and a little out of breath.

I stopped and turned around: "Is there anything you want me to do?" ”

"Money, this guest," the old woman carefully handed me back the coin, "the denomination you paid is too large for me to find, can you please change it to a smaller denomination?" ”

I groaned a little and asked, "Excuse me, how much is that meal?" ”

"A copper coin," the old woman said.

I dug into my pocket, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't have copper coins, only gold coins." ”

"That'...... Then I can't charge you so much money" The old woman's voice trembled: "I see that you are a foreigner, it seems that you are still an adventurer, your adventurer's life is not easy, you make some money in exchange for your life, even if I invite you for this meal, you still have to accept the money." ”

"I'm not in the habit of eating overlord meals," I smiled and handed the gold back to the old woman, "Just think of it as if I paid your hotel deposit, according to the sky, until the deduction lasts." ”

"How embarrassing is this...... the old woman looked dazed, and the hand holding the gold coin kept trembling: "How can I accept such a heavy amount of gold...... Besides, it's hard to say whether my hotel will last until that day......"

"Then use it to renovate the hotel and run it until the day the deposit is paid."

With that, I ignored her and strode towards the end of the street.

The house of the wise man is small, like a miniature version of a yurt.

I knocked on the door, and after a while, I heard a childish voice sound: "Who?" ”

"I'm an adventurer passing by, and I'm here today to ask the wise man some questions, I wonder if the wise man is free?"

The movement in the door disappeared, and after ten seconds, with a creak, the door opened, and a seven or eight-year-old girl in sackcloth and straw shoes stood in the doorway, her big smart eyes swirling, constantly looking at me.

"Wise man, please!" She opened her pink mouth and let out a series of childish sounds.

I smiled politely back, then pushed the door open and strode inside.

However, as soon as I took a step, the little girl hurried up to me, opened her arms, blocked my path, and warned me: "There are many precious objects in it!" You have to walk carefully! If you step on it, you can't afford to pay for it! ”
