Chapter 3: Into the City
"Squeak"
The door of the dormitory was opened by Yu Feng, and the originally dim dormitory instantly poured into the morning light that made people smile unconsciously. Seeing that there was still a forest outside the door, everything last night was indeed not a dream.
Yu Feng rhythmically tapped the stainless steel bowl with chopsticks, making a crisp "ding" sound, and shouted to the three of them at the same time: "Get up, get up." I'm going to be late. ”
Zou Haoyun struggled to get up and said, "What class is today?" After speaking, he remembered what happened last night and asked excitedly, "What?" We're going back? ”
At this time, Ning Wushuang had already gotten out of bed, looked at the lake outside the door and said, "It's so simple." ”
After a while, Ning Wushuang smiled and said to the three of them, "Hurry up, let's go sightseeing in the city." ”
So the four of them washed themselves with the water of the lake, put down the door and covered it with branches and leaves, and set out.
Ning Wushuang deliberately asked Yu Feng to take the folding knife that he usually used to cut fruits, and draw an arrow mark on the tree every three or four meters, in case he couldn't find the door when he came back. Zou Haoyun habitually told Qian Zilai to bring his wallet, but was ruthlessly complained by the three of them: "Can it be used here?" A little common sense? ”。
After coming down from the mountain, Ning Wushuang and his party came to the main road. Ahead, you can already see people preparing to enter the city, and you can see a lot of horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods.
"Why don't you find someone and ask what kind of place this is before you go into the city?" Yu Feng looked at the three of them and asked.
"Who's going to ask?" When Qian Zilai asked this, his eyes swept over Ning Wushuang intentionally or unintentionally.
Zou Haoyun was the first to react and said: "Shuang'er go and ask!" ”
"I think so."
"I think it's OK."
Yu Feng and Qian Zilai immediately agreed, and Ning Wushuang could only be helpless when he saw that the three of them tacitly pushed himself out to block the gun.
"There seems to be a child there, so why don't you ask the child?" Yu Feng pointed in one direction and said.
Ning Wushuang also saw in the distance that there was indeed a child with gloves on his hands and a headdress on his head. I thought to myself: It should be less difficult to ask children. So he said to the other three, "Well, just ask him." Let's go over together. ”
When the four of them slowly approached the child and saw the child clearly, the four of them instantly felt petrified.
"Beast, beast, orc?!" After Zou Haoyun saw the dog ears moving on the child's head, he immediately pointed at the child excitedly and barked.
The orc child was obviously frightened by the four of them, and the tail behind him stood upright, and it looked like he was about to cry.
Seeing this, Yu Feng immediately covered Zou Haoyun's mouth, and Qian Zilai also hurriedly pressed down his hand pointing at the child.
Ning Wushuang endured his surprise, tried to squeeze out a smile and slowly walked towards the child who was about to cry. Walking in front of the child, Ning Wushuang squatted down and looked at the child and said with a smile: "Good, brothers are not bad people, what about your parents?" Is it lost? At this time, Ning Wushuang saw the appearance of the orc child clearly, with white fluffy dog ears on his head, two hands that also looked like dog paws, and pink meat balls on his palms, and the clothes and appearance he saw through were a cute little girl. It's a canine man, right? Ning Wushuang thought in his heart.
"Wow!"
However, Ning Wushuang's strategy of using the image of a gentle big brother did not work, and the little girl cried out with a "wow" like a flood bursting its banks, wiping her tears with her two furry little claws as she cried.
The eyes of the people around him immediately looked at each other, and Ning Wushuang's face also turned red. At this moment, it seems that Ning Wushuang is simply bullying children. Although many people came to see it, no one came up to ask about the situation or accuse Ning Wushuang of bullying children. But at this time, Ning Wushuang had no intention of noticing this abnormality, and the most angry thing was that Zou Haoyun, who caused this incident, was still hiding behind Yu Feng with a look of "none of my business".
Ning Wushuang saw that the little girl had been crying all the time, and couldn't listen to what she said at all, and if she left directly, Ning Wushuang felt that she couldn't go away. Just when Ning Wu was at a loss, a person finally came out of the crowd at the city gate and shouted to this side: "What's the matter, Xiaoying?"
Saved! It should be the parents who are here! Ning Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Ning Wushuang stood up and looked for a sound, and it was a man who was older than himself and also had white furry dog ears on his head, but Ning Wushuang noticed that the man's hand was not like a dog's paw, but was no different from a normal person.
When the little girl saw the man coming, she immediately ran to the man's side and hugged the man's feet, and the man picked up the little girl, and the little girl gradually stopped crying, but she was still teary-eyed and looked very aggrieved.
Just when Ning Wushuang was about to apologize to the man, the man actually hugged the little girl and bent down and said to Ning Wushuang and the others, "I'm sorry, the little girl has caused you trouble. ”
At this time, Zou Haoyun walked out of Yu Feng's side with a dead face and said, "Where, where, it's okay, don't bother." Qian Zilai was so angry when he saw that he hit him on the head with his fist.
The man bowed again: "Then don't bother the adults, I'll retire first." "Turn around and prepare to leave and enter the city.
Ning Wushuang hurriedly said, "Please wait a while. ”
The man turned to look at Ning Wushuang and asked, "Is there something wrong with my lord?" ”
Ning Wushuang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Please don't call us any adults, we're just... Eh, it's just four ordinary people, the little girl just now is the fault of the four of us, we should apologize to you, I'm sorry. ”
After hearing this, the man smiled and waved his hand and said, "Ah, adults don't have to apologize. Is there anything else you can do? ”
Ning Wushuang didn't understand why the man's posture was so low at this time, as if he was used to being humble, but now was not the time to delve into this issue, Ning Wushuang called the three people behind him to his side, and then said to the man: "The four of us originally went to other cities in a carriage with a dozen merchants. But one night we were attacked in the wilderness, and the four of us escaped, leaving only a change of clothes and a little food. I saw a city here this morning, and I wanted to see if I could get help and contact our chamber of commerce. I just wanted to ask the little girl what the name of this city is, but... Ah, it's all because we scared the little girl. ”
When the man heard this, he was very surprised and asked, "Attacked?" Is it a robber? Or is it a werewolf? Or a goblin? ”
When the four of them heard this, their hearts made waves again: Werewolves and goblins?
The man continued: "This is Wardle City, if you want to go to the Chamber of Commerce, you should be able to get to the General Chamber of Commerce by following these wagons loaded with goods after entering the city, and you should be able to find the staff to contact the Chamber of Commerce of your lords." By the way, if adults need to seek adventurers to protect themselves and return to their cities, they can go to the adventurer's guild next to the chamber of commerce to issue a solicitation order, and if the price is right, there should be many adventurers willing to serve. ”
After the man finished speaking, Ning Wushuang's heart was already galloping, and he stayed there and thought in his heart: Werewolves, goblins, and the Adventurer's Guild, isn't this an old-fashioned trick to defeat the evil dragon or the Great Demon King through another world?
Seeing that Ning Wushuang didn't react, the man continued: "If there is nothing else to do, Xiao Ying and I will enter the city first, and Xiao Ying's mother is still waiting for us in the city." ”
Ning Wushuang came back to his senses at this time: "Ah, it turned out to be Wardle City, thank you, we know." As he spoke, he took out the chocolate bar he usually ate from his backpack and handed it to the little girl and said with a smile: "Xiao Ying, I'm sorry, my brothers scared you just now, so this little snack will be given to Xiao Ying, it's delicious." ”
The little girl looked at the man hesitantly, and the man said, "Since it was given by an adult, then take it and say thank you." ”
The little girl timidly took the chocolate bar and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Then Ning Wushuang and the four of them watched the father and daughter enter the city. But Ning Wushuang only found out at this time that the father and daughter did not enter the city by the avenue in the middle of the city gate, but by a small path on the side, and several orcs also entered the city from there, and each of them was holding a small token, which should be something similar to a registration card.
No wonder you keep screaming adults, it seems that the orcs are a little unpopular here? Alas, is discrimination everywhere? But that's not something I can control. Thinking of this, Ning Wushuang sighed lightly and prepared to enter the city with the three "immortals".
Passing through the city gate was very smooth, and it seemed that ordinary people could pass through without carrying large bags and small bags, although the clothes worn by the four people were so unusual here, and the carriages and orcs had to be checked and registered by soldiers before they could pass.
Entering the city, the four of them were instantly attracted by the various strange buildings and bustling streets in the city. The shops and stalls on both sides of the street sell a wide variety of goods, and when they saw a few scepters listed in a certain weapon shop, the four of them couldn't help but complain: "Even magicians have them, it seems that they have really reached a terrible place." ”
Although there are all kinds of goods here, and there are many other worldly delicacies that the four of them drool when they see them, but the four of them don't have the currency of this other world at all, so they can only stare dryly.
"Divination, divination, free experience for the first visit."
The four of them were attracted by the sound, but not by divination, but by the two words that were particularly tempting when they were penniless.
The four of them looked over, and the stall owner was a woman wearing a black veil, who couldn't tell her age, but her voice was a little hoarse, and there was a crystal ball on the small table of the stall that emitted a faint light.
The stall owner also noticed the four people and greeted: "The four little brothers are tourists from other places, right?" Want to try your hand at divination? It's free for the first time. ”
Zou Haoyun muttered in a low voice: "It can't be an old witch who is uneasy and kind enough to trap outsiders, right?" ”
The stall owner's hand to greet the four people stopped, and said to Zou Haoyun: "Little brother, it's a bad tongue to say bad things about others behind your back." ”
Frightened, Zou Haoyun hurriedly covered his mouth, as if he was afraid of being cursed by the "old witch".
The stall owner didn't pay attention to Zou Haoyun, but swept his gaze away from the other three, and finally locked his eyes on Ning Wushuang and said: "This little brother, I feel that you are the most special one among the four, but at the moment I am a little hesitant in my heart. Don't you want to take a peek at your own path? ”
Ning Wushuang complained in his heart: I must be the most special! The other three are immortals, and I'm just an ordinary person. And the "divine power" of the three of them here is not only retained, but also stronger, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to mix it up at all, but how can I, an ordinary person, survive in this other world?
"Go ahead and give it a try, I'll give it if I ask for money." Qian Zilai pushed Ning Wushuang's back and said.
Zou Haoyun glanced at Qian Zilai and complained: "Do you have money now?" Pauper. ”
Angry, Qian Zilai gritted his teeth and said: "Tsk! Owed first! I don't believe I can't earn it. ”
Ning Wushuang looked at Yu Feng after hearing Qian Zilai's instigation, Yu Feng understood that Ning Wushuang was asking his opinion and said with a smile: "Haha, just try it for free, it's a big deal to run away if you are trapped." ”
Ning Wushuang didn't expect Yu Feng to have a black belly, so he smiled and walked to the opposite side of the stall owner and sat down, and the three of them stood behind Ning Wushuang and watched.
When the stall owner saw Ning Wushuang sitting down, he began to ask questions, asking Ning Wushuang's name, age, and the type of divination he wanted.
"Type?" Ning Wushuang wondered.
The stall owner explained: "Ah, it's love, career, wealth, or the like, or simply divination of the future. ”
Ning Wushuang thought about it for a while, and thought that the first three things didn't seem to have much to do with himself who had just crossed into this world, so he just divined the future situation.
"Then what the future holds."
"Okay."
After deciding on the decision, the stall owner began to put his hand on the crystal ball and murmured, "Noble goddess of fate, please give me divine power to clear the path of the lost." ”
After a while, the stall owner withdrew his hands, but Ning Wushuang found that the stall owner's hands did not look like the hands of a person who made an old woman's voice, they were white and delicate, like the hands of a woman of his own age. However, Ning Wushuang had no intention of delving into why the stall owner was so mysterious, so he quietly waited for the stall owner who closed his eyes and meditated at this time.
After a while, the stall owner opened his eyes, looked at Ning Wushuang and said with a smile: "Interesting, it seems that the little brother will be able to encounter a lot of interesting things next." ”
When the four of them heard this, they all became excited and asked, "Interesting thing?" What's the matter? ”
The stall owner looked at the excited four people and pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "It's just some disconnected fragments, I can't tell clearly." ”
"Heh, I thought I had some ability."
When Zou Haoyun was about to say two more poisonous words, the stall owner said again: "Interesting things become boring when they are said in advance." But..."
"But?" Ning Wushuang looked at the stall owner suspiciously.
The stall owner suddenly looked at Zou Haoyun with a dark belly and said, "Let this little brother shout here that he is a pig, and I will tell you the next key, free of charge~"
The three of them looked at Zou Haoyun together, Zou Haoyun didn't expect the "old witch" to come out like this, and was about to slip away but was grabbed by Yu Feng's shoulder.
Ning Wushuang also pretended to plead and said to Zou Haoyun: "Haoyun! Brothers! Fu Ye! Please, it's up to you! ”
Qian Zilai looked at Zou Haoyun and smiled without saying a word, thinking in his heart that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and Yu Feng also threatened: "Don't count on me if you run away when you run into tigers and jackals." ”
Zou Haoyun had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "I said, I said it's not okay?" ”
"I, I, I'm a pig."
"It's too quiet! I shouted when I said it. ”
Zou Haoyun watched the stall owner grit his teeth, obviously he had never tried to be so unlucky. Is it the end of the blessing? Zou Haoyun mourned silently in his heart.
Seeing that the stall owner was so ruthless, Zou Haoyun was also ready to go out, put on a posture and took a deep breath, and shouted to the passing crowd: "I! Be! Pig! ”
After shouting, he hid between Yu Feng and Qian Zilai with a red face, but passers-by still looked at him with neurotic eyes, and at this time, Zou Haoyun was afraid that he wanted to dig three feet into the ground and hide.
At this time, the stall owner nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, this time I will let you go." Ahem, listen up, I've seen a lot of clips in divination just now, but obviously none of them are the same thing, so it's hard to tell you what will happen. However, these clips all have two things in common. ”
"What do you have in common?" Ning Wushuang asked seriously.
The stall owner no longer pretended to be mysterious, and said seriously: "First, there are four of you in these clips. Second, you all mention the Adventurer's Guild a lot of the time. ”
After listening to Ning Wushuang, he thought about it: The first point is normal, we have no relatives here, and it is normal to act together, but the second point is the adventurer's guild, the four of us can resist with Yu Feng's strength, and the other three are difficult to be adventurers no matter how they think, right? There are werewolves, goblins, and other creatures in this world, but do you know if there are any other terrifying creatures? Moreover, the superpowers of the three immortals are not as good as the magic skills used by local magicians, right?
Ning Wushuang looked at the three of them, obviously the three of them were also a little puzzled by the second point, and were about to ask the stall owner questions, but the stall owner preemptively said: "All in all, that's all, I'm going to close the stall, see you soon." After speaking, I saw her take out a magic wand long with chopsticks and swipe it at the table, and the stall disappeared out of thin air in an instant, and Ning Wushuang and the four of them were dumbfounded.
The stall owner looked at the four of them and said, "Haven't you seen storage magic?" What a fuss. Bye. After saying that, he squeezed into the crowd and left, leaving behind the four people who were messy in the wind.
"Magic, magic. This is too powerful, I drop a turtle, I can't afford to provoke it. Zou Haoyun was suddenly glad that the "old witch" didn't give him this way just now, so that he would evaporate from the world.
"Go see?" Yu Feng put his arm around Ning Wushuang's shoulder and asked.
Ning Wushuang understood that Yu Feng was talking about the Adventurer's Guild, smiled and said, "Well, go and see." ”
So, the four of them followed a group of wagons loaded with goods to the adventurer's guild next to the general chamber of commerce, which the orc man said.
A figure leaned out of the alley, silently looking behind the four people in the direction where the four were going, and after a while, disappeared into the crowd.
