Chapter 2 To the Cave

Instead of going home with Wright, Raels went straight to the tavern in the village, ordered two bowls of fruit wine and drank it. Drinking at this time is the best way to forget your troubles, even though Raels had never drunk before.

Wright walked into the tavern after Raels, sat down next to Raels, ordered a bowl of fruit wine, and hurriedly drank it.

Raels couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "Wright, why don't you go back and talk to your family, what are you doing here?"

Letterley ignored Raels, and after drinking a bowl, he continued to order another bowl. Raels was a little suspicious, pressed his bowl and said, "Are you here to comfort me, or do you want to come and drink?"

"Boss, this wine is usually not allowed by the old man to drink more, this time it is rare to borrow you to shirk, saying that I will accompany you to borrow wine to eliminate your sorrows, I don't drink it to be happy, how can I be worthy of myself. Wright replied while drinking, and seeing that Raels was still glaring at him with his eyes, he patted Raels on the arm and continued: "What's more, there are a lot of good girls in the world, and without Julia, I'm afraid I can't find one who suits me?"

"Well, what do you know?" Raels sighed and said frustratedly, "We have been together since childhood, and I am seventeen years old this year, so we have been together for seventeen years!"

"I'm a year younger than you, and I'm sixteen this year. Wouldn't life be the same without a girlfriend?" Wright said disapprovingly.

Raels looked at the wine in the bowl and smiled bitterly, and changed the topic: "Next year happens to be the last year that I can sign up for the academy, so I decided to join the academy next year." ”

"What?" Wright said with a look of surprise as Raels began, "Didn't you decide not to go to the academy?"

Raels shook his head and said, "I changed my mind and decided to enroll with you. Don't you welcome it?"

Wright smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and said happily: "Okay, okay, you didn't say this earlier, I thought I was going to go to school alone." Speaking of this, Wright seemed to think of something, and mysteriously approached Raels, and said proudly: "I have found a law, that is, the loss of love changes people very much. ”

"Looking for a fight, huh?" Wright said this, which was tantamount to rubbing salt into Raels' scar, Raels raised his fist and glared at him, as if to say to Wright, "If you talk nonsense, I'm going to beat you." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly came to Raels, patted him on the shoulder, and asked politely, "I'm sorry, excuse me, are you Raels?"

Raels stood up, nodding his head as he watched the comer.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a high-class magician costume and holding a magic wand made of red crystal. His expression was serious, giving the impression of awe.

Seeing Raels nodding, the other party couldn't help but look Raels up and down suspiciously, and only asked after a long time: "Are you really Raels?"

"Hmm. Raels nodded affirmatively. Wright next to him and the people in the tavern also nodded and said, "He is indeed Raels." ”

Only then did the person who came confirm that the person standing on the opposite side was Raels, who he was looking for, and then spoke: "Hello, I am Max, the vice president of the Wizards of the Lordland Wizards, when I passed by your village, I found that the caves on your mountain are different, I suspect that there may be treasures hidden in them, and I want to hire you as a guide to explore together." ”

"He wants to go to the cave?"

Max's words made the people in the tavern suddenly quiet, but this silence only lasted for a moment, and after a while, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Max with strange eyes.

Raels also looked at Max in surprise, never knowing that he would make such a request.

At this time, many people have turned their attention to Raels to see if Raels dares to agree. However, things were similar to what they expected, Raels did not agree, but shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, but the cave in the mountain is off-limits to our village. Because I heard that there was a treasure inside, the people in the village once went in to look for treasures, but who knew that these people had entered and died, so no one dared to go there now. ”

Seeing that Raels did not agree, Max used a tried and tested trick, took out 50 gold coins, and shook them in front of him: "As long as you go with me, I am willing to pay you a reward of 50 gold coins to hire you." Of course, if you don't want to, I can find someone else. ”

As he spoke, Max turned his gaze to the others and said in a loud voice, "If anyone here is willing to come with me, the 50 gold coins will be his." ”

"The honorarium of 50 gold coins is a lot, and I am a little moved. ”

There was an uproar in the tavern, 50 gold coins was enough for the people in the village to support the expenses of a family of four for three years, so many gold coins, this was already quite a generous reward for the hunter.

But everyone also understood that although the reward of 50 gold coins was generous, the cave was really too dangerous, and they didn't want to lose their lives because of this reward.

Raels wasn't scared to explore the cave, and to be honest, he had already had the idea of going inside. It's just that Max didn't dare to nod his head easily when he asked such a question in public, after all, it was a forbidden area in the village. So, he could only shake his head.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Max changed another trick and tried to provoke Raels with the agitation method.

At this time, Max's face was gloomy, and he said to Raels in a contemptuous tone: "Who said that you are the best hunter in the village, you don't even dare to go to a cave. I think you're nothing more than one of the most timid people. ”

Raels shrugged his shoulders and smiled nonchalantly. This agitation method may have been effective for him in the past, but what happened today made him lose his anger.

Seeing that the agitation method was useless, Max could only sigh and leave the tavern disappointed. Later, Max searched for a guide in the village, but in the end he couldn't find it. In the end, he had to give up the idea of exploring the cave and instead went on to find another adventure.

After drinking the two bowls of fruit wine, Raels felt very refreshed, as if a fire was burning in his body, forcing him to do something.

Eventually, Raels got up from his seat and walked briskly towards the outside of the tavern. Wright hurriedly chased after him, and asked him in surprise, "Are you going back so soon?" Wright, who said this, gestured with his hand to drink, and pointed to the fruit wine on the table, which meant that he had not finished drinking, and hoped that Raels would wait for him to finish before leaving.

"You guy. Raels reluctantly tapped Wright's little head with his hand, and then leaned into his ear and whispered, "I'm going to explore the Death Cave in the mountains now, and if you're scared, drink here." With that, Raels walked out of the tavern, bypassing Wright.

"Hey...... Top dog. Raels, who had left the tavern, had not taken a few steps when Wright's shout came from behind him.

After that, Wright came up to him and looked at him incredulously, "Boss, I think you're joking, right? That cave is a forbidden place in the village, and no one has come out alive after many people have entered it." If you go in like this, wouldn't it be the equivalent of sending you to death? Those who know the reason are fine, but those who don't know the reason still think that you entered the cave for martyrdom. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Raels stared at Wright angrily, this guy really didn't open the pot, he said such things before he entered the cave, and besides, what does it have to do with martyrdom when he goes into the cave to explore?

It was the first time Wright had seen Raels so angry, and he was afraid that he would anger Raels if he continued to say it, so he had to cover his mouth.

Even though Raels had a thousand anger in his heart, when he saw Wright's pitiful appearance, he had to dissipate, and said to him in a kind voice: "Wright, I know what you want to say. The people who have been in that cave have never come out, so the elders have designated the area around the cave as a forbidden area, you are afraid that I will not be able to get out even if I go in, and you want to tell me not to take risks, right?"

"Hmm. Wright still covered his mouth and nodded quickly.

"I appreciate your kindness, but no matter what happens today, I will not change my mind. Raels had always wanted to go into the cave, but it was too dangerous to go in, and if he went in, he would risk losing his life, so Raels didn't go in for a long time.

But today is different, Raels, who is in a low mood, under the paralysis of alcohol and the temptation of Max, finally mustered up courage, so he must enter the cave today, otherwise after today, he does not know when he will have such courage again.

Seeing Raels so serious, Wright knew that he was not joking, for fear that Raels would really enter the cave, he could only persuade: "Boss, have you figured this out clearly? My old man will not allow you to do this." ”

Although Wright didn't say that he wanted to tell his old man about this, Raels vaguely guessed that he would do this, so he took him to his side and said seriously: "Wright, no one knows the situation in the cave, you are afraid that I will be in danger after I go in, and you think that I am completely hot-headed when I go in this time." But what I want to tell you is that I am not hot-headed this time, and the tools to enter the cave, I have prepared them a long time ago. If you tell your old man this time, although he can stop me this time, what about next time? ”

Raels is ready, even if he can't go this time, he must go next time.

"Boss, what you said is true?" Wright thought that Raels entered the cave completely because he was hot-headed, who would have thought that Raels had been prepared, and he was very suspicious, so he couldn't help but ask Raels.

Raels pointed at himself and asked rhetorically, "Wright, do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Not really. That's why I said that because I care about you. Wright shook his head and muttered quietly.

"Since you care about me so much, then come with me. Raels, regardless of whether Wright agreed or not, grabbed him and dragged him in the direction of the cave.

"Don't, don't...... I want to live a few more years. Wright's face suddenly turned pale, and he wailed as he walked. Raels hurriedly reassured him that he didn't need to go into the hole, as long as he stood outside the hole and put himself in the hole with a rope, or pulled himself out of the hole.

Hearing this, Wright stopped wailing.
