067 Old Man in the Forest
After spending some time in Nosirio, Feida's body was fully restored, and with the events taking place in the city, Kist decided to leave the Elven Kingdom with Feida.
After that day, they never saw Anna again, who had been taken away by Elder Wind and was said to have to serve years of hard labor in Nosirio to atone for her sins. In the past few days, Ficcio has also been serious and unsmiling, and has not spoken to anyone, everyone knows that Ficchio and Anna used to have an unusual relationship. Kerst and Feida, after a brief goodbye, were ready to leave.
It was Xiao Han of the Elven Guard, who was a little reluctant, holding Feida's hand, and the elder sister said something shortly.
The elven blacksmith helped Feida make a pair of blades from the ore they had brought back from the dwarven ruins, and Feida tried it very easily, and she said to Kerth, "I think I must have named her 'Sister's Howl'", which made Ferst laugh, but he didn't expect the cute Ferda to give her weapon such a name. "They were a pair of plus or minus, and they fought together like sisters, as if they were howling in terror. Setie explained.
However, at that time, they didn't know that this elven weapon, which had a ridiculous name, later left a great name in the history of the continent, and "Broken Heart" and "Sister's Howl" became the two most famous weapons of this era.
When they left, they didn't leave from the direction they came, but headed towards the southwest corner of the Misty Forest.
The Elf King, when he left, I don't know why, asked Kester to visit a human who lived in the Misty Forest, Kester didn't understand what the Elf King meant, but it was not good to refuse directly, so he had to agree to the letter suspiciously. Then, he also left Feida behind and explained something. Kerst later asked the Elven King of Feyda what he had said to her, and Feyda shook her head and said nothing.
The moment he stepped out of the magic cover of Nosilio's main city, Kerst felt that there were some special memories in his life.
The guide who led the way when he left was the same guide who came to lead the way, and he had been waiting for Koster and Feyda in the Elven Acropolis. The moment they saw the two of them enter the Acropolis, the guide and those Kaman guards all burst into tears of joy. It turns out that the diet of the elves is mainly fruit and plants, and if the alien humans can't fish, they will not even eat meat, and they have lost a lot of weight from hunger for such a long time. Kerst and Phaeda laughed, promising to make it up to them when they returned to Carman.
So the group finally left the territory of the elves and re-entered the dense fog of the misty forest.
"Minister Koster, aren't we going back?" The guide was still talkative, as if he had been suffocated by so many days in the elven world, and as soon as he left the elven kingdom, he couldn't help but open the conversation.
"Wait for me in Manning, and Fida and I are going to visit a hermit. Kerst commanded.
"Then, minister, how long will it take you?"
"I don't know, you wait patiently in Manning City. ”
So, at a fork in the road not far from the Acropolis, Koster and Feida waved goodbye to their guides and guards, and the two of them drove their carriage to the southwest alone.
In the southwest corner of the Misty Forest, this forest is deserted, and only occasionally elven patrols pass by, always greeting them eagerly into the depths of the forest. As night approaches, a puff of smoke passes through the dense canopy of the Misty Forest, bringing a hint of smoke to the dark forest.
Deep in the forest, there is a small wooden house, stacked with the trunks of a felled tree. The outer wall of the wooden house is full of dried fish and bacon, and rows of fresh fruit are piled up in the open space outside the house, and a small bonfire is burning, and two fish are on the fire, and the drops of oil from the roast are dripping on the fire, making a crackling sound.
Kerst and Phaeda, standing in the open space in front of the fire, quietly stared at the closed door, and they looked at each other.
Kester took out a bronze badge from his body and smiled at Feida, "When I left Manning City that year, Green gave me this bronze badge and asked me to come to the Misty Forest to find an old man named Mousse, but I didn't expect that the Great Elf King also asked me to find this person." ”
Feida took the bronze badge, "I didn't expect you to keep it." "I don't know why I've kept it, but I always think it's going to be useful one day." ”
"In what capacity are you going to visit this senior, Green's friend, or the guest of the Elf King?"
"This... Kerst didn't seem to think about it, but he said, "Let's go over and talk about it first." "Take the lead and head to the hut.
"Do-do!" a low knock on the door echoed in the dark night sky.
After waiting for a while, after a sound of tapping, the wooden door of the hut creaked slowly open in the quiet forest.
An old woman with silver hair appeared in front of Kerst and Feida.
It was a human woman, about seventy years of age, gray hair, but in good spirits. Tall, with brown pupils, he can't see where he came from. Dressed in animal skins, she looked like she had been living alone in the Misty Forest for a long time.
Maybe no one has come for a long time, at first glance when he saw the two of Kerst and Feida, the old man was still stunned, opened his mouth but did not speak, Yi Ah Ah Ah a few times, and then coughed a few times before he spoke: "You, who are you?"
Kester didn't expect the person to visit like this, he took out the bronze badge that Green gave him from his body and handed it over, "Are you Grandma Mousse, a friend recommended me to visit you here, I am a friend of Green, my name is Kester, this is my friend Feida, we are from the Duchy of Kaman." ”
"Green?" the old man didn't seem to have a good memory, and he looked up and remembered for a long time, "Is it that hunter novice from Manning's martial arts?"
Kerst smiled bitterly, "I guess it's the Green you said, but he's now the chief hunter of the Adventurers' Guild." ”
The old man laughed and said, "Also, the last time I saw him, it was more than 20 years ago, and there is always a time for young eagles to spread their wings and fly high." ”
Kerst listened to Old Man Mousse's chatter and tried to interrupt her, but the old man did not give him a chance, but said, "If you are visiting his old friend on behalf of Green, then you have done it, and I will not invite you into the house." An old woman like me, who lives in seclusion in the Misty Forest, doesn't want to be disturbed. ”
Kerst was taken aback, but Feida reacted quickly, she quickly gave Caster a color, this old man didn't look like he was easy to deceive, "Grandma Mousse, we." ”
Seeing that Feida had something to say, Mousse interrupted her with a smile and waved her hand, "Look at your pointed ears, from Nosirio, I know that you are not just friends of my friend from twenty years ago." ”
Kerst scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Grandma Mouss, I don't know what the situation is, the Great Elf King asked us to come here, I'm a little unsure, so I didn't dare to tell the truth." ”
Mousse stared at Kerst for a long time, "Do you think I can come here without the permission of the elves, what two silly boys, come in!"
Kerst and Phaeda entered the cabin, and Mousse closed the door behind them. Looking closely inside the house, it was a small cabin in the woods, made of logs from the misty forest, and there was a smell of logs in the house. The furnishings were simple, with only a few wooden tables and chairs, and a small stone fireplace by the wall, and a strong fire burning in the fireplace. There were no windows in the house, only the red light of the fire.
Mousse walked over to a chaise longue and sat down, picked up the hide at hand, just now, she seemed to be sewing a piece of clothing, and then did not move, sighed, put down the hide, and took a round lens barrel from the table, and put it on her right eye.
Kerst and Feida glanced at each other, this lens tube looks very familiar, Grandpa Kuta in the San Jose Great Library also has such a magic lens, sure enough, this old man Mousse is not simple.
Old Man Mousse was doing his own thing, and Kester and Feida had to wait patiently, and the room fell silent for a while, except for the tinkling of Old Man Mousse doing things.
It was easy to wait for the old man Mousse to finish the work at hand, put down the tools, took off the "mirror tube", and carefully looked at the man and woman in the room, "Do you know who I am?" Mousse asked.
Kerst shook his head, "I don't know. Green told me that you are an experienced mercenary, and I can ask you to learn the art of combat. The Great Elf King said, "You are the inheritor of the Tao Strategy, but I don't know what the Tao Strategy is, so. Kerst spread his hands.
Mousse stared at Feida again, and Feida quickly shook her finger and pointed at Casther, "I'm here with him." ”
"I'll just say, you're not supposed to be a half-elf here. It turned out that Mousse had already seen Feida's identity.
"But it's all here, and I can't drive you away. Mu Si's words changed sharply and became quite serious, "Since you were recommended by the Great Elf King, it means that you are the ones he favors." You must know that on this continent, the people who can be favored by the Elf King can be counted in one slap. ”
Kerst looked at himself, then at Ferda, and then at Mousse. What? The Great Elf King is optimistic about himself? He is just a rural nobleman, he has no ability, and he is not very old, why is the Great Elf King inexplicably optimistic about himself. You know, being favored by this long-lived old goblin is not necessarily a good thing.
"So, Grandma Mousse, what am I looking up to?" Kerst asked Mousse.
"I can't say that, anyway, I'm not optimistic about your ability to pick up girls. ”
"What about Green, what's the matter, why did he let me come to you?"
"Green, that's a beautiful misunderstanding, I'll explain it to you later. So now the question is, I only have one room here, where do you want to stay, where do you sleep?" Mousse looked at Kerst and Feida triumphantly.
"Huh?" neither of them expected that Old Man Mousse would have such a question.
