Chapter 54: The Return
Chen Zhuo flew on the spaceship for a whole day, and finally arrived in Hearthstone at 10 o'clock in the evening, and Murray and Avril were already waiting at the landing site.
"Stinky boy!"
"Boss."
Murray saw that there was an extra monkey behind Chen Zhuo, and immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Hehe, boy, this monkey is your new entourage?" ”
Chen Zhuo nodded, and was about to say something, when Layton happened to come over and said to Murray: "Old Chen, what you said is not wrong, but don't underestimate this monkey, it is one of the most valuable beasts in my purchase this time." ”
Murray took a glass of wine and said with a smile: "A monkey, what can be worthy." ”
"Ahem, it's an epic beast......"
Murray's face instantly stiffened in the air, Chen Zhuo saw Murray's expression and hurriedly ran to chat with Avril, and then pulled Avril and walked back.
"Stinky boy! You give me back! ”
Hearing Murray's shout, Chen Zhuo immediately ran away: "Ah! Boss, I have a bad stomach, I must have eaten too much! I'll go to the toilet first! ”
Seeing Chen Zhuo running away, Murray smiled bitterly and said to Layton: "This stinky boy! Alas, okay, okay, speaking of Layton, did you encounter any mess when you went to Garkison this time? ”
When Layton heard Murray's question, he told Murray about his trip to Gakison, ignoring some of what Semuel said, but Layton couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, are you really sure that Chen is your clansman?" ”
Hearing Leighton's question, Murray didn't answer in time, took a sip of wine slowly, and said slowly: "To be honest, I wasn't sure at first, but the signs that have happened recently make me have to believe, what's wrong Leighton?" Do you know something? ”
"No, it's just that Chen learned one of my hunter rare skills, which surprised me, mainly because of the city lord, isn't there a curse in your family, and your body has been ...... recently What do you think? ”
"Good couldn't be better! In the first few days of this stinky boy, I ran to the pastor every day, but I couldn't find any physical problems, and I didn't feel any discomfort myself, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have suspected it at first! ”
Layton looked at Murray for a moment, and then said, "Okay, city lord, you pay more attention to your body, by the way, that retinue named Bonnie, how do I think she looks like a ......"
"Demons? That's right, it's not like, she's a demon, and it's a succubus. ”
Layton asked in surprise, "So ...... Chen?"
"It's fine, it's the same as me. I don't know why, I've been watching them for a long time, and nothing happened, but Bonnie paid some price for the stinky boy when she fought, but they were all acceptable. ”
"Well, in that case, I'll go to the pen first."
"Well, okay, rest early, give me a specific list tomorrow, I'll go back first, this stinky little character second-order advanced for a long time, it's time to upgrade."
When Chen Zhuo returned to the tavern, there were no more guests, but he was surprised to see Charles and Marcus drinking here, Charles sat at the door, saw Chen Zhuo walking in, and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Hey! Old! Over here! ”
Chen Zhuo walked over with a smile, and the entourage followed closely.
"Charles, why are you still drinking so late? Well? Marcus is there too. ”
Marcus turned around and said with a smile: "The last time Charles left here from here, he always talked to me about the wine here, we came here once before, but listen to your entourage...... Oh, it's Avril behind you, she said you went on a mission and came back today, so our brothers came over today to pick you up and wash the dust, haha, you don't want to run, no matter how tired you are, you have to have a drink before leaving! ”
"Okay, okay!" Chen Zhuo saw that Marcus and Charles would not spare him, and ordered to the back: "That, I'll accompany them to have a drink, Avril you help me get a special beer, and then Ronke, you take Xiaoxue back to its nest, if Wukong has no place to sleep today, let it sleep with you first, and, uh, Bonnie, you go back first." ”
"Yes, big man."
As soon as Chen Zhuo sat down, Marcus asked, "Chen, were they all your entourage just now?" ”
Chen Zhuo nodded: "That's right, when I went out this time, I brought everything except Avril." ”
"Oh, that's it, hey, Chen!" Marcus hugged Chen Zhuo suddenly, "I heard that goblin seem to call you master just now, huh?" What's the situation? ”
Charles on the side heard the difference and said, "What! Someone just called Brother Chen 'master'! Why didn't I hear that? ”
Marcus laughed and teased, "What can you stupid pig hear?" Chen, tell me about it, what's going on with that goblin? Could it be you...... Bought slaves? ”
"Go!" Chen Zhuo pushed Marcus away and sat next to Charles opposite, knowing in his heart that Marcus was joking, and said half-truthfully: "Marcus, what do you think about all day?" What you just said is my best attribute, she comes from a tribe, so she doesn't speak like human society, do you think I'm Brewster? ”
"Poof!" Hearing Brewster's name, Marcus took a sip of wine, "Last time he overdid it, he was called by that, yes, Sjiraau, he was sent to the hospital, I heard that he was in a coma for 3 or 4 days before waking up." ”
Charles, who had been unable to interject on the side, said: "Yes, yes, yes, I also heard about it, and his female swordsman retinue has also suffered a lot of injuries, and has ruined her retinue career, and has been driven back by the elders of the Brewster family." ”
Chen Zhuo said sympathetically when he heard this: "It's really a fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond." By the way, Brewster's family sounds like a big one? ”
"Chen, if you ask Charles about this, it's equivalent to not asking, he is always tiger-brained, and he doesn't even know that he is taken by his entourage."
Chen Zhuo gossiped: "Oh? Charles, is there such a thing? ”
Charles retorted: "Nonsense! Marcus, you've met once in private, what nonsense! ”
"Chen, it's the armor caster from last time. Do you still have an impression? ”
Chen Zhuo nodded, and Marcus continued: "I didn't see it when we went on a mission together before, firstly because I was not familiar with Charles, and secondly, because the armor caster was too tightly covered. The last time I went to Charles's house, I found out that the armor caster was in very good shape, doing housework at Charles's house every day, and he didn't want to think about why a female entourage regardless of strength, appearance or figure repeatedly refused a contract that was double, doubled or even triple the salary he offered, and worked part-time as a nanny under him. ”
As if Marcus had talked to Charles about this topic before, Charles didn't refute or speak, just drank wine, and Chen Zhuo then asked, "Wait a minute, Marcus, can the entourage unilaterally untie the soul binding?" ”
"No, but the entourage protection bill stipulates that you can talk to the brave, if there is an obvious dispute between the retinue and the brave and the brave obstructs the route of the retinue's growth, the retinue can appeal, but after the contract is terminated, you need to pay a large fee. Wait a minute, Chen, why don't you even know this, I remember I learned this when I first entered the Brave Academy. Marcus looked at Chen Zhuo in surprise. Chen Zhuo had no choice but to scratch his head and said, "I was basically taught by the boss and Uncle Aland, they probably think that this is taught by others and then they don't need to teach it." Chen Zhuo added in his heart, "Originally, they didn't want to teach me, but the boss let me read everything." ”
Marcus said with envy: "Oh my God, although I don't know what your boss looks like, but Lord Aland is the number one mage in Hearthstone!" No wonder you were able to cast such a powerful spell that day! By the way, where did you just go, Brewster's family? Oh, yes, Brewster's family is indeed quite large, but it is not particularly large, but Brewster seems to be the son of this patriarch, so he has lived in a doting environment since he was a child, and his own strength is also good. ”
"Yes." Chen Zhuo nodded, and Avril had already brought the wine: "Lord Chen, your wine." ”
"Oh, thank you!" Chen Zhuo took the wine glass and took a sip directly, "Ah! I'm really thirsty, and the wine brewed by Uncle Ni is more and more in line with my taste, not strong and tasteful. ”
Marcus, who was on the other side, saw Chen Zhuo's satisfied look and asked, "Chen, how about bringing me a copy of this for me to taste?" ”
"No problem! I'm in for a treat! Yes, Charles, do you want it? ”
"Oh, thanks, I don't need to, I still like to drink spirits."
"Oh, okay."
After a while, Avril came over with another glass of the same wine, and Marcus hurriedly thanked him, then took a sip and said in surprise: "Whew! This wine tastes good! Chen, what's the name of this wine? I've been drinking it ever since! ”
Chen Zhuo said with a smile: "I don't know, every time I tell Uncle Nun to have a glass of wine, he will give me a special one, and I will ask you when I have time." ”
"Oh, thanks, Chen. By the way, you've just come back from a mission? Can you tell me what you did? So Chen Zhuo roughly told him about this trip to Gakison, but he didn't say anything about Xiaoxue and Wukong, just that he took a task to help escort the beasts, and the beasts that had just been sent to the backyard of the tavern He used Murray to cover them, saying that they were partners who grew up with Chen Zhuo when he was growing up. This situation is very common in a peaceful city like Hearthstone where humans and orcs live together, and some human families will buy some newborn low-level beasts from the beast pen to accompany the children in the family to grow up, although even if the child grows up, he can't bind the beast, but the man and beast have feelings, and as a pet type of war beast, it is also quite a good choice.
After listening to Chen Zhuo's introduction, Marcus drank all the wine in the cup, and then said, "Oh my God! Chen, I'm so jealous of you! Lord Layton! That's my idol! Your luck, really, it's amazing! Next time, if you still have such a task, if you still need someone, please call me! I don't get paid for it! Oh my God, an Arcane Floating Serpent that shoots arcane energy! I really want to see that shocking scene! ”
Charles listened to it and drank a lot of wine: "Ha! Seriously, Brother Chen, I envy your luck, Charles, originally we said that we would find you to team up for a mission, but now it seems that Brother Chen, the task you can take is much more advanced than the one we received. ”
"Oh? Have a task to work with me? ”
"Yes!" Marcus said, "Charles and I have been given a C-level assignment and I'm going to ask if you're interested. ”
"C-class mission? What for? Chen Zhuo didn't expect Charles and Marcus to come to him on a mission together, and he suddenly became interested.
"Take a trip to the Dalaran Pit in the Hillsbrad Hills and buy a magic item called the Magic Pact."
"Wait, buy?"
"That's right, Chen, it seems that you don't just don't know the common sense of a brave, you don't even have the common sense of an adventurer." Marcus looked at Chen Zhuo with an expression that he had already guessed, "You know how the Dalaran Giant Pit was formed, right?" ”
"Well, some archmages moved Dalaran to the North Pole?" Since many things in this world were different from what he understood, Chen Zhuo was cautious when answering.
"That's right, thanks to them, the current Hillsbrad Hills contain magical elements, so a lot of magic products have been brewed, some things can be processed into very good magic items, the magic pact we want to buy is one of them, the Mage Federation that sent the mission, if we find a magic particle in the Dalaran Giant Pit, then our reward will be twice as much, and we will record in the Brave Guild that we have completed two C-level tasks!"
"Sounds great! I think I could ask my boss and give you an answer, and if I haven't had anything to do lately, it should be fine. When are you going to go? How do I contact you? ”
"Oh, there's still half a month to prepare, don't worry, I'll come over again with Charles in three days, and then if you're free, I'll tell you where my house is, and you can come to me anytime if you have something in the future." Marcus nodded at Charles, "Well, then we'll leave first today, you just come back and rest early." ”
"Okay, go slowly, you two."
"Haha, Brother Chen, your wine is delicious!"
Saying goodbye to Charles and Marcus, Murray has not come back, Chen Zhuo went to visit Rank, Wukong's "monkey nest" has not been built, so today can only be crowded in Rank's house, after being settled, Chen Zhuo is so sleepy that he can't open his eyes, and he went back to his room and fell asleep.
