Chapter 13 Pre-Hunting Investigations
After agreeing to Torrel's request, Acoste didn't stay in the tavern for a moment, and went straight back to the Joker and Artist Tavern, it was the middle of the afternoon, and people from all walks of life were gathering in the lobby to drink, and whether they knew each other or not, they were talking loudly about their past experiences, and this noisy environment made Acoste very uncomfortable.
He pushed through the crowd and finally came to Livingston next to a few old mercenaries, but the other party was already drunk and didn't notice Acoste standing beside him at all, which made Acoste speechless for a while, and originally wanted to discuss with Livingston about hunting the digging insects, but he really didn't plan to hand over Lavisto to the other party's care, and now it seems that neither of these two can be done.
Speaking of leaving Lavis himself in the room, Yacoste is definitely the first to be uneasy, in this chaotic society, there are a lot of poor people and gang hooligans, they usually rely on stealing, abducting children and women to live, and when they are really poor and can't open the pot, they will go to the mass grave to rob the grave, Yacoste knows the means of these people best, most of them have contact with the local tavern owner, if Acoste leaves Lavis alone in the tavern room, The most likely thing that happened was that as soon as he walked on the front foot, there was a thug pretending to be a waiter on the back foot who abducted Lavis with sweat medicine, and as a foreigner, he really didn't have any special way.
After pondering and meditating, Acoste suddenly remembered the temple in the town, and immediately led Lavis out of the noisy tavern, and when he walked out of the door, Acoste obviously heard a few unkind eyes looking behind him,
After turning around, Acoste took his sister to the temple of Dawn, which is the temple that serves the Lord of Dawn, Losanda, and at the entrance of the temple stands a huge statue of the sunrise composed of rose, red, and yellow gemstones, and most of the priests of Loshanda are from the good camp, they believe in goodness, the sun, nobility, protection, revival, and strength. Although Acoste himself is not very interested in the god of Loshanda, who has great powers, it is indeed the most suitable place to place Lavis right now.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" As soon as Acoste led Lavis into the temple, a girl with blond hair greeted her, her eyes glanced at Acoste, and then she stared at Lavis's little face, and Lavis looked embarrassed to turn her head, her face flushed like a ripe apple.
"That's right, I want to keep my sister in the temple for two days." Acoste didn't care about the other party's strange behavior, because since the other party was wearing the emblem of the temple, it meant that she belonged to the kind pastor of Losanda, and looking at Lavis's expression in front of him was purely a feeling of liking from the heart. Acoste took out two gold coins from his bosom. "This is my offering to the temple, may the light of the Lord of the Dawn be sprinkled on everyone."
"Of course there's no problem with that, young man." Suddenly, an old man's voice came from inside the side hall. Acoste turned his head to look, and the other party was an old man wearing a white robe with a grapefruit mouth and gold trim, if Acoste was right, he should be the bishop of the Dawn Temple in Belgost Town. I saw him point to the red box placed at the door and said, "Please put the money and money for the offer over there, I believe that the Lord of the Dawn will watch over you from heaven." ”
Acoste nodded at the bishop, he was not surprised that the old bishop was a little greedy for money. For most temples, the more gold the better. Because the temple has a lot of expenses every day. It costs money to eat, money to train the temple guards, money to preside over ceremonial equipment, and money to win believers to open the way and give alms, and if this money is not enough to rely on the usual believers' offerings, almost all temples will sell some magic scrolls and holy water to sustain their lives.
Before going out, Axter touched Lavis, the little girl's two little hands tightly tugged at the corners of Acoste's clothes to prevent him from leaving, she herself heard in Thor's blacksmith shop that Acoste was going to hunt those diggers, although she didn't know what the diggers were, but she instinctively didn't want her brother to take risks.
"It's okay, Lavis, you stay in the temple, I promise to come back to pick you up in two days, be obedient, you know?" It was only after repeated reassurance that Lavis let go of his little hand, and reluctantly followed the sister of the probationary priest named Anya into the temple.
After leaving the temple, Acoste quickly came to the location of the incident that Torrell had said, and he saw a sign on the road on the right exit of the town with the death mark of a skeleton on it, and Acoste knew that he would be able to see his target this time further ahead.
Beasts like hunting,It's definitely not something you can solve with two weapons and kill at once.,This kind of bridge generally only appears in third-rate anecdotal novels.,In the real world,All people who cherish life will come here in advance to investigate.,Figure out the habits of those creatures.,Strength.,The number will decide whether to do it.,Even if it's so cautious.,Every day, there are still countless adventurers who die in the hands of monsters.。 It can be seen that the danger in the wild on the Feron continent is general.
Acoste walked lightly down the road, his memories of digging insects, which stood up to 3 or 4 meters tall, but they usually burrowed into the ground, and even if they drilled out of the surface to attack, they would only show half of their bodies. They have an incredible bite, they spit out acid that is lethal to low-level professionals, they are particularly sensitive to surface tremors, and last but not least, they tend to live in groups, which makes their threat exponentially higher.
Although Acoste knows that he has a good template that is no less than the son of God, his own attributes are not much better than the players who are called the children of gold in that memory, and his skills and expertise are even more than how many streets the player knows, but he knows that it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to let him now single-handedly challenge a group of digging insects who challenge level 10 [4 heavily armed level 10 professionals have a 50% chance of beating], his plan is to go to the spot to investigate, and then find an opportunity to pick up and kill one. Even if the extra digging worm was worth 300 gold coins, he didn't have the life to spend those gold coins.
There was not much way out, Acoste suddenly felt the ground under his feet become loose, he knew that he had come to the territory of the digging worm, he looked at the road in front of him, there were already countless potholes and pits, Acoste immediately jumped to the side and came to a hard big rock, picked up a fist-sized gravel from the side of the big stone, and smashed his right hand into a road surface.
"Boom" The stone hit the ground for a few seconds, and a huge earthy yellow bug came out of the ground, and its two large front jaws clamped hard, and the stone thrown out by Acoste was immediately clamped into pieces, and this is not the end, other digging insects also seemed to be affected, and they came out of the surface one after another, there were 6 digging insects, and Acoste fell from the big stone in fright. At this time, Acoste held one hand against the bump of the stone to stabilize himself, and he didn't dare to gasp for a while. In his memory, the digging insects could only rely on the touch of the ground to determine the direction of their prey, and other senses such as sight, smell, and hearing were poor. But who can guarantee that the digging bugs in front of you are like those on the mainland? What if it mutates?
But fortunately, Acoste's luck was not the worst, the cao egg thing he imagined in his heart did not happen, and the 6 digging insects just stayed on the surface for a while, and then drilled back after finding that there was no movement. Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Acoste's hanging heart immediately let go, and the person became calmer, and now he had a rough idea of the number and habits of the enemy. But there is still no good way, with the sword to let him solve one of him is more than enough, just two are a bit dangerous, single three is nine deaths, in the face of six, well, it is directly sent to death.
Acoste is a little sore now, secretly hating why he was a bitter warrior in his memory in his previous life, not those noble mages, if he is a mage now, even if it is a low-level mage, he has a way to kill those 6 digging worms, use stones to draw them out, and then greasy magic + fireball technique, the two three-ring magic directly solve all the problems.
Just when Acoste was distressed, he suddenly felt the sound of Suo Suo in the grass behind him, Acoste immediately came back to his senses and took off the longbow from his back and put it on the arrow, he believed that no matter what it was, as long as there was any movement, it would be shot through by his own arrows first.
"Wait a minute, I'm not an enemy, don't mess around!" A crisp female voice rang out from the grass. Random Acoste saw a girl who had only covered the key parts with a branch standing up from the grass.
