Chapter 208: Go home and prepare
Chapter 208: Go home and prepare
After the meeting, I started to prepare.
The specimen of the wood bud elephant skeleton that I bought back has been kept in the residence, and just to transport this thing back, I need a Kodo beast cart, of course, I don't need to sell the cart, I can push it myself.
But in this way, the carriage is half full, and I am afraid that there is not much space left.
Of course, it's not this issue that I need to address.
After all, I now have the Sumeru bracelet left by the predecessor of the Feiyun Dao Chief, and it is not a problem at all to pack ten carts and eight carts of goods.
The problem is that I have to transport these things out of the city in a reasonable way when there are many people, without anyone suspecting that I have such magical "space equipment".
So, I had to find a big enough car first.
For this question, I went straight to Dole.
Naturally, their store had a large truck, and Dole even said that it would be given to me directly, but I still gave the money at the original price.
The car was ready, and it was natural to start shopping.
But there is one more important thing - taking time off.
"Leave?" When Captain Billy heard my request, he looked at me in amazement.
"Yes," I said, "I'm going home for the Resuscitation Festival!" ”
During this time, my excellent performance and ability to complete the mission made Captain Billy's attitude towards me always very good, but because of the small diaphragm of the escort mission, his attitude towards me was far less cordial than when he first joined.
"You've only been here for half a year, so you're in such a hurry to go back?" Captain Billy said.
"I promised my family," I said, "and my sister's marriage should not be missed, after all, it is only once in a lifetime." ”
Captain Billy hesitated for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that no, especially if you still make mistakes, even if the merits and demerits are offset, you will leave a bad record, however, I don't mean to embarrass you, in this way, since you want to ask for leave, then, complete the tasks during the leave in advance, as long as it can be completed, I will allow you to go home for the holidays, how about it?" ”
"Fair enough!" I nodded and said, "As long as it's fair, I have no opinion!" ”
"You kid can pick on ......," said Leo, "aren't you afraid that they will deliberately embarrass you?" ”
I said, "If he does, it's a big deal that I'll quit the Guardian Warriors, join the Priesthood, become a priesthood, or just go to the Bloodhoof!" I don't believe that with my strength, they won't accept me! ”
"Yo, you're pretty confident!" Leo said, "Yes, yes, there is growth!" ”
How can this be said to be similar to Iru?
"Well, so be it," said Captain Billy, after a pause, "from this day onwards, you will double the amount of your tasks, and double as much as you will have one more day off, and you will see what you can do." ”
"No problem, Captain!" I say.
So, I took on two assignments that day.
In the days that followed, I had to take at least two assignments a day, and at most, even five or six.
I take more, and others take less.
But they didn't hold a grudge against me for it. On the contrary, they were all quite happy - there were more people taking turns every day, and it was too late for them to be happy......
Having said that, these tasks are becoming less and less difficult.
The only difficult task is to go to a small town on the east side of the Magres to deal with a monster fish from the sea.
Because the Thunder River, which originates in the Maggery Mountains, flows all the way to the east into the sea, and also merges several relatively large tributaries in the meantime, the river gradually becomes deeper and wider, and it is really a strange thing that this monster fish can swim up from the sea and reach the place that is only half a day's journey from the Magrell Mountains.
"Monsters from the sea?" Leo was also interested, "This thing can adapt to saltwater and freshwater, could it be a magical beast awakened by salmon?" ”
"Salmon?" I had never heard of this fish and asked, "Are you fish on Earth?" ”
"Well, a very tenacious fish, not only adapted to fresh and salty water, but can even swim against the current in very shallow water," Leo said, "However, there are no magical beasts on earth, otherwise, with their tenacious spirit, they may be able to sense the elemental energy......"
"What's the use of saying that?" I said, "What are you going to do about it?" After all, it's not a mutated stone-skinned hippopotamus, and if it keeps hiding in the water, I really can't help it. ”
"When the time comes," said Leo, "people, they are intelligent creatures, and wisdom is something that helps the weak to defeat the strong, and you can get a tool or something, even if it is in the water, you can force it out!" ”
"Well said!" I said, "It's up to you." ”
"Hey......" Leo came back to his senses, "I took the exam, and I was tricked by you again!" ”
"Aren't you my think tank?" I said, "Think about what to do." ”
"Alas, I didn't expect that you finally became smarter, and the result was that you completely relied on me and used me as a mental labor!" Leo said, "Fellow travelers, I'm sorry I've disgraced you! ”
"Stop complaining!" I said, "You took the initiative to help me, don't cheat!" ”
"Hmph......" Leo snorted depressedly, saying in Huaxia, "Church apprentice, starve to death master, I will come to that point sooner or later!" ”
"I'm not going to rob you of your job," I said, discerning the meaning of his Chinese phrase, "what are you afraid of?" It's a big deal that I'll find a way to get you back to Earth in the future. ”
"Then thank you, Uncle Bihong, for your mercy......" Leo said in a strange voice.
"Well, as long as you do well, Uncle Ben won't treat you badly!" During my time in Thunder City, I have seen a lot of other races who call us "Uncle Bullhead", and I have unconsciously liked this title.
"Say you're fat and you're still panting!" Leo spoke another sentence in Chinese.
"Not fat, not fat, just right!" I was in a good mood and continued to joke with him.
The journey was not long or short, and it took half a morning to arrive.
When I got there, I saw a lot of civilians with sad faces, as well as a group of bloodhoofers and militiamen.
"You're the Guardian Warrior sent by the Temple?" The Captain of the Bloodhoof Army came up happily.
"Lord Bihon!" Several soldiers shouted in surprise, "Great, with Lord Bihong, things will be easy to do!" ”
These soldiers also participated in the escort mission together.
"You guys, have you changed teams?" I looked at the Ten, whom I didn't know, and asked.
"Yes," the soldiers nodded, "our former ten-man was arrested for colluding with the merchants who sold the forbidden medicine. ”
There was not a trace of sadness on their faces, and they didn't seem to be very happy with the original ten-master.
After a few small talks, the current Captain Ten told me about the situation.
"From here...... said the Ten, pointing to the place where the Thunder River meets another tributary, "all the way downstream, in deep water, and the boats are largely ......"
"What kind of fish is that?" I asked.
"The fishermen say it's a swordfish in the sea!" The ten-captain said, "This fish has a very sharp mouth, as indestructible as a spear head, and the fins on its back are like flags, and it originally only lives in the sea, and it will also attack fishing boats or something, but it will not easily run into the Tamsui River, let alone swim to such a deep inland, but this one has awakened its magic and is very aggressive!" Not only the boats on the river, but also the houses on the shore were destroyed, and the inhabitants moved away from the embankment and lived in the fields and wilderness......"
"How many days has this been going on?" As I got more and more tasks, I became more familiar with the process and casually asked, "How are you doing?" Have you ever had a fight with this Warcraft spearfish? ”
"It's been almost five days," said the ten-man with shame, "and we can only help the residents evacuate as much as we can, patrolling them regularly, and although we have encountered them twice, we can only barely reach a tie when it comes out of the water." ”
"Have you ever used something like fishing nets and spearguns?" I asked.
"It's useless," the Tentroon shook his head, "its skin is smooth and tough, tools like spearspear hooks and harpoons don't work, fins and beaks are too sharp, and fishing nets are completely useless!" ”
"So, haven't you tried using wire nets?" I asked.
"Some fishermen have thought of it, but we have asked many craftsmen, and they can't make it, and they still say......"
"What else?" I asked.
"They said that either a dwarven blacksmith would make a wire fishing net, or an elven craftsman would make a magical fishing net made of enchanted flax...... How is this possible? The ten-captain looked embarrassed.
"Really, it's hard to find," I said, "and it looks like it's not going to be easy......
Of course, I'm saying this to Leo.
"Originally, we wanted to have a priest come over," said the Captain of Ten, seeing me say this, "perhaps, you may ......."
"Hehe, I'm afraid that some priest who arranged the task is behind the ghost......" Leo said.
"No hurry!" I thought of Priest Fili, waved my hand, and said, "I'll see what happens, will you come with me?" ”
When a few soldiers heard that I was going, they immediately said, "Lord Bihong, let's go with you!" ”
The Ten-Commander still didn't seem to be at ease with my strength, and said, "Then, let's take a look first......
Led by them, I approached the embankment and walked downstream.
