Chapter 13: The Greatest Thing
I pulled out the ass mat from the package... No, the map, I compared it repeatedly, and confirmed that the place marked on it should be this area.
"There is a house in this hellish place, who would think so much about coming here to engage in real estate." I'm a little confused.
I beckoned the three Violets to come over and speculated, "This is what the map shows." It is said that there is no living person along the way, and now a house suddenly appears, either something has become a spirit, or there is a reclusive god living in it, maybe there will be clues. ”
"When things go wrong, there must be demons." Violet agreed with me and said, "Let's go over and see if there's anything of value."
"Shall we prepare then?" Manniu was a little worried, and said: "I'm afraid that if it's a boss nest inside, it will be too ugly for us to go over and be served in a pot together."
"If you want me to say, let's just send someone over to investigate." Xiao Zhengtai also put forward his opinion, he thought for a while and said: "It's best to send someone who will not affect our overall strength even if he dies back to the main city, so that if there is an accident, we will not fall short."
"Quail is a good idea," Violet said, nodding with a smirk, "but who would be the right one?"
The four of us glanced at each other.
"Quail, you go!" I, Violet and Brute Bull said in unison.
Xiao Zhengtai almost cried and left the three of us, the expression on his face was more aggrieved and more aggrieved, and then slowly approached the wooden house in three steps, as if expecting us to change our minds.
"You kid hurry!" I added a fire to the back and urged: "Whoever asked you to send a dead boy proposed to send someone who doesn't affect your strength, and who won't let you go!" Hurry up! ”
Xiao Zhengtai was completely dead, and walked to the vicinity of the wooden house. He first circled the hut, but finding nothing, then cautiously pushed open the door and entered.
Five minutes passed, and just when we thought Koshota was dead inside, the door opened.
Xiao Zhengtai walked out, with no abnormal expression on his face, and greeted us from afar: "Brother Gua!" Sister Lan, Brother Niu, come here! ”
"Don't move! Will he be rebelled? I frowned, and reached out to stop Violet and the bull.
Violet knocked my arm off and walked over with a disdainful look.
The bull put his arm around my shoulders and walked forward, saying, "Don't be stupid, hurry up."
When the three of us came to the wooden house, Xiao Zhengtai stood at the door and said to us, "There is only a strange old man inside, you can come in and have a look."
With that, the four of us walked into the house together.
"! Is this still a duplex? "The first thing I saw when I entered the house was that there was a second floor in this small dilapidated house, and although it was connected by a ladder, it was indeed a duplex.
"Welcome, my friends." When I heard the voice, I noticed an old man sitting on a dilapidated chaise longue directly opposite.
The old man had a scruffy beard and his hair was stuck in a clump. I don't know how many years the clothes on my body have not been washed, and the overall color is dark black, and I guess the dirt is better than body armor. And his face is also sludge black, is it to match the clothes? If he didn't make a sound, he would be invisible in this dark wooden house.
"Friends from afar," the old man said enthusiastically, "it is fate to meet here, are you also here to find artifacts?"
Hearing the old man suddenly mention this, the four of us looked at him in unison, looking forward to what he would follow.
"Oh! I almost snubbed my guests," the old man didn't know if it was intentional or not, and diverted the subject: "I'll go and help you prepare refreshments now." As he spoke, he was about to get up.
I glanced at the violet, then hurriedly pressed the old man, and said with a smirk, "Don't don't, where are you?" We bothered you and didn't know how to say thank you, and how could we bother you to do it yourself. ”
"Hmm." The old man sat back, and his tone instantly became much colder, "Then you can quickly make me a cup of hot tea." ”
"Ah???h The four of us were caught off guard by the old man's 180-degree change in attitude.
"What? Don't want to? The old man asked indifferently.
"Yes, yes!" I gritted my teeth, this old guy can name an artifact, and it is estimated that there are clues to legendary weapons, so I can only endure this breath at the moment.
"Who's inside, quail! Go, give the old man a whole cup of tea! "I command the little quail.
"I guessed it must be me..."Xiao Zhengtai muttered as he went to get the kettle to boil water.
"I'm a little hungry," the old fellow said again.
"Purple... Brute! Get the old man something to eat! ”
“… Good. The bull replied.
"Do you have any other orders?" I asked the old guy with a smile.
“… Well," the old fellow seemed to be about to fall asleep, half-lying on the chaise longue and squinting pleasantly, "don't be idle, let that little girl come over and you two pinch my legs." ”
……
"Holy! Old man, your knife is sharp enough! The bull suddenly shouted, and I looked up to see the bull chopping vegetables with a strangely shaped dagger.
“… Well, be careful. The old guy rolled his eyelids, muttered, and continued to snooze.
I pinched the old guy's leg hard, and several times tried to move my hands to his neck, if it weren't for the fact that the legendary weapon was too tempting, hum.
Anyway, the three of us are okay, I can't imagine that Violet, the daughter of a rich family, pinched her legs without the slightest complaint, and I don't know if the temptation of the weapon is too great.
Thinking of this, I snickered at the violet thief and got another roll of the eyes.
After working for a while, the wild cow prepared the dishes and asked me to wake up the old fellow.
The old guy smelled the fragrance and bounced up from the recliner, sat directly at the dining table, and grabbed the food without saying a word, but saved chopsticks.
The four of us squatted on one side, and while the old guy was eating haes on the table, I took Violet and the three of them and whispered, "This old thing may know something, so follow him first, and ask when he is happy."
"And what if he doesn't know anything?" Xiao Zhengtai asked.
I glanced at him, "It's okay, I've already figured out what grass to plant on his grave." Violet touched the dagger and preemptively spoke.
After the old guy was full of food and drink, he lay down on the chaise longue, beckoned me to massage with Violet, and instructed Xiao Zhengtai to go out hunting with the bull.
When the two of them returned, they continued to pack up the meat and prepare food for the old fellow, and Violet and I were arranged to clean up the house and mend the doors and windows, without the slightest free time.
During the period, I wanted to ask for information but the old guy diverted the past, and when I wanted to leave, I was hooked back by the old guy with words, and an afternoon passed like this, and I saw that the time was a little late, so I decided to ask one last time.
"What, old man," I saw that the old man seemed to be in a good mood, and asked tentatively, "There are many monsters here, why do you live here by yourself?"
"If you want to ask about the artifact, just say it," the old guy looked at me with a smile, changed to a comfortable position, and continued: "You don't need to ask why I live here, but there is nothing here that can hurt me."
This old guy blew it without drinking, tsk.
"Can you tell us a little bit about the artifact?" I pressed on.
"Artifact..."Speaking of this, the old guy's tone turned out to be a little vicissitudes, as if he was recalling something.
"I've had a lot of young people like you come to me before, but they never look me in the eye, rummage around me and then leave." The old guy seems to be off topic again.
"I've seen your performance here today, and although you may not be sincere, I'm satisfied. It's been a long, long time since I've been with someone for so long. "I don't understand what the old guy said, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.
"Let's go." The old guy said suddenly.
"Huh? The artifact? "All four of us were a little stunned.
"Before you go, you can choose any thing in my house and take it, remember, only one thing. But let me remind you that the greatest thing may be very unremarkable. ”
, where the is this? Wasting a day in vain, seeing that I was a little anxious, the brute bull hurriedly persuaded me: "Forget it, so be it." Let's think about what to take, it's better than going home empty-handed. ”
I glanced hatefully at the old fellow, who was already lying in the recliner and continuing to doze.
What to take? The most valuable thing in this room is probably the body armor on the old guy.
I crouched down to the side and said to the violet, "Look at it, and call me when you're done."
Violet They were depressed when they saw me on the side, so they had to discuss it with the three of them, and then gave Violet the choice.
Violet went around the house again and again, and finally, she chose the dagger that the brute ox used to chop vegetables.
With the dagger in hand, we said goodbye to the old guy, who raised his eyelids and rolled over and fell asleep.
At this time, it was not early, and the four of us hurried to the city, and the monsters on the road avoided as soon as they could, striving to be as fast as possible.
It was late at night when we returned to the garrison camp, and we found the captain of the garrison and threw the dagger and the map to him.
"Captain, there is probably a mistake with your map," I said helplessly, "We fought desperately to the end, and only found an old man who was undersmoked and one of his kitchen knives."
"Old man? Kitchen knife? The captain of the guard was also confused, and looked through the map with him, "That's right, this map." As for this kitchen knife... dish..."
The captain of the guard suddenly got stuck, and I looked over in wonder, and found that he was trembling all over, could it be that he had cut his hand?
"It's... It's the legendary artifact..."
