Unconsciously, half a month has passed. In the past half a month, Xue Huan has become more and more familiar with the workers on the farm, although the relationship between some workers and Xue Huan is still in a state of indifference, but most people have gradually begun to accept this new kid.

By the way, because the sleeping places are close to each other, Xue Huan and Jem have the most communication, so they are the most familiar. Although Xue Huan was defensive of Jem at first, Jem always tried to chat with Xue Huan intentionally or unintentionally, and told him about his various experiences. Over time, Xue Huan gradually let go of the guard in his heart. Besides, most of the memories of that guy in Kelsugaard have long been lost, and maybe he was wrong last time, Xue Huan thought so.

And in the past half month, Xue Huan has insisted on going to the nearby woods in the dead of night to exercise his magic. Therefore, in just half a month, he could only feel the elemental energy after he had to close his eyes for a long time at the beginning, but now he has reached the point where he can easily summon the nearby elemental energy with a movement in his heart. Although he was still a little laborious to control, Kel'thugad praised him again and again, marveling at Xue Huan's spell control ability.

However, due to Simon's forced pressure on the workers, most of the workers below the overseer level were resentful, and even Xue Huan could occasionally see a little hatred in the eyes of the workers......

Finally, it is worth mentioning that as early as half a month ago, the orc army stationed in the Arathi Heights in the south had been repaired, and now they are marching towards Lordaeron in the north. And the first is located southeast of Lordaeron... Stratholme.

Before dawn, Xue Huan got up early. Always lazy, he has often been the first to get out of the covers lately, partly because he has finally seen the hope of returning home since he studied magic, and this hope has always inspired him. On the other hand...... The floor of the broken house was so hard that Xue Huan couldn't sleep well every time......

"Good morning, lad. ”

Xue Huan, who was washing his face by the manger, heard someone behind him calling him, listening to a familiar voice, Xue Huan turned his head and smiled: "Brother Jem, why did you get up so early?"

It was none other than Jem, who had recently befriended Xue Huan. After half a month of getting along, now the two have already begun to call each other brothers.

"Haha, I don't want to get up so early, but seeing that you got up so early to work, I can't be left behind. Jem said with a boldness on his face.

"Huh. Smiling, Xue Huan turned his head and said no more.

After hesitating for a moment, Jem stepped forward and whispered to Xue Huan: "Brother Xue Huan, you have been here for more than half a month, do you have any thoughts on the farm and the workers?"

Opinion?

I don't know why Jem asked such a question, but now Xue Huan has great trust in Jem, so he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I don't have any opinions or anything, but everyone is very good to me, and I am very grateful." ”

After all, he hadn't been here for a long time, so Xue Huan could only talk about the scene. Although he had already guessed that the workers on the farm were unhappy with Simon and Ron, he could not say these words at this time.

Jem was obviously not too satisfied with what Xue Huan said, but in order not to arouse Xue Huan's suspicions, Jem chose to empathize: "Don't you think that Cymon has been getting more and more harsh on you recently?"

It's okay not to mention it, Xue Huan is furious when he talks about these. Although he has been doing his duty diligently lately, Simon and his overseers have been repeatedly asking for trouble for some reason. However, seeing that most of the people on the farm were tortured by Simon very badly, Xue Huan naturally didn't want to say anything, after all, he still needed to work here to save up the money for the journey to Dalaran.

Seeing Xue Huan's indignant expression, Jem knew that he had already moved the guy in front of him.

You've done me a great favor, Simon. Jem suddenly noticed that the brutal butcher was a little cute, but it only lasted for a moment.

"Brother, I heard Ron say that you want to go to Dalaran to study magic, don't you?" asked Jem, pretending to be "unintentional".

Hearing the words "Dalaran", Xue Huan's spirit was lifted.

"Uh... Big Brother Jem. Could it be you?" Xue Huan suddenly remembered that Kel'thugad had said to himself that there were spell fluctuations on his body, could it be ......

Looking at Xue Huan's eyes, Jem knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Don't think wrong, brother, I'm not a legendary magician. ”

Xue Huan was embarrassed...

However, Jem's words changed sharply and he said, "But if you want to go to Dalaran to study magic, you always need a lot of money, after all, it's a bit of a long way. "Jem had a chance conversation with Ron about Xue Huan some time ago, and I remember that Ron mentioned that he was very short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to work here.

"yes. ”

This sentence poked Xue Huan's sore spot. The bread that old Joss gave him had already been eaten by himself on the way, and the remaining gold coin was not enough to support the cost of going to Dalaran, so ......

Although Xue Huan had lived for more than twenty years in his previous life, he was a fledgling hairy boy after all, and all the thoughts in his heart were written on his face.

Seeing Xue Huan's embarrassed appearance, Jem thought for a moment and said his thoughts to Xue Huan: "Brother, I won't tell you, I have a plan recently that I need your help, if it succeeds, you don't have to worry about the cost of the trip to Dalaran." ”

Xue Huan looked at Jem suspiciously: "It can't be some kind of murder and arson, right?"

"Of course not. ”

"That's okay..."Patting his chest, Xue Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that recently Simon asked me to go to the nearby forest to find a creature called the nocturnal bat and catch it. Because this creature only haunts at night, it can be extremely difficult to catch, so I need someone to help. Jem explained to Xue Huan.

Xue Huan was a little puzzled, why did so many strong people on the farm have to look for me?

As if he knew that Xue Huan was a little suspicious, Jem explained: "Most of the people on the farm are very dissatisfied with Simon's actions, who can still call them at this time? But this time Simon promised to reward me with twenty gold coins as long as he caught the nocturnal bats, thinking that you have only been here for a short time, and you are so short of money, I can only come to trouble you." Of course, after the deed is completed, these twenty gold coins will naturally be divided among you. ”

Twenty gold coins?

According to Jem, the twenty gold coins will be divided into ten gold coins after the deed is completed, which is equivalent to a year's work on the farm. If you have these ten gold coins, you can immediately go to Dalaran to learn magic. Wouldn't there be more hope of going home by himself, and now that he has the Arrow of Chaos, then some ordinary magical creatures in the vicinity should be able to deal with it themselves, and at the worst of all, they can also summon Kel'thugad to help them when they are in danger.

Seeing that Xue Huan had been moved by what he said, a subtle and strange smile appeared on the corner of Jem's mouth. In order to dispel Xue Huan's concerns, Jem emphasized again: "It is said that this bat can become extremely agile at night, making it difficult to catch, but it is also not too lethal, so we don't have to worry about safety at all." ”

"Good!"

After weighing it for a while, Xue Huan nodded in agreement.

After all, for him, if he really stayed in this kind of place for a year, it would be tantamount to torture for him. Coupled with Jem's repeated emphasis on the fact that this creature was not dangerous, Xue Huan decided to take a gamble.

Seeing that Xue Huan readily agreed, Jem happily patted him on the shoulder: "Then it's decided, tonight, when the overseers finish their inspection, we will set off to find the nocturnal bat." But when you leave, no one will chat with me at night. ”

Xue Huan smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's also something that can't be helped, I have to thank Brother Jem here." ”

"It's just a small thing. Jem waved his hand at Xue Huan and said, "Then I'll go to work first, and we'll see you in the evening." ”

"Good!"

Turning around, a grim glint flashed in Jem's eyes, fleeting......
