Chapter 41: Su Muan

In the blink of an eye, Xue Qiong and the four of them had been in Huttonmar for ten days. The time for the magic guild to analyze those magic arrays ended up exceeding the expected week, but fortunately, there was still a lot of time limit for the main quest.

After obtaining a magic book that was several times thicker from the Magic Guild, the four of them immediately began to march to the northwest. Of course, Xue Qiong's statement is "Go to another mysterious country and look for something that can help our world." ”

The day before they set off, the four of them got a carriage with an ordinary appearance but a very comfortable interior, and hired a coachman with a lot of money. After all, motorcycles are too conspicuous and uncomfortable, and they are not in a hurry right now.

For Kallert, Xue Qiong still had some precautions, so they didn't even care about buying a villa in Huttonmar, and left the city overnight.

Except for this night, they all traveled during the day, camped and rested at night, and were expected to enter the realm of the Void Kingdom in ten days, and then return to the capital of their country, Suran, it would take another seven days... Compared to the 30-day mission time limit, this is already very lenient.

There were some twists and turns along the way, but none of them were major problems. That is, they were robbed three or five times by robbers, several coachmen died, several horses died, and finally the carriage broke down. But in the end, they arrived in Sulan a little faster than expected, because after the carriage broke down... The four of them simply changed into motorcycles.

"Several, please show me your identification."

Early one morning, the guards at the gate of Suran City, speaking in a strong northwest accent, stopped them with unkind faces.

But at the same time, under the noses of this guard, there was a constant flow of people flowing into the city, most of them wearing patched clothes and carrying fresh vegetables with flat poles, presumably vegetable farmers in the suburbs.

"Why are you stopping us?!" Xiao Yun was very dissatisfied and asked, "They just put it in?" ”

The guard said as a matter of course, "Of course it's because you're all new faces..."

Although the storage space of the motorcycle has been reclaimed, they came on foot, but Xue Qiong's fancy dress is not to mention, on the road in order to hide Minette's identity, she has been wearing a cape with a hood, so... This group of people is just too suspicious.

After all, Xue Qiong was in Xue Qiong's mind, and this trip was a very upright thing, so he accidentally forgot about dressing up.

"Uh... We're here to attend the Martial Arts Tournament. Xue Qiong came up with an excuse in an instant.

"You're a fool of me?!" The guard roared: "The martial arts tournament is in May every year, and this November is just over the halfway point, so you rushed over?!" ”

"That's it..."Xue Qiong leaned over, took out a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into his hand, "This is a little heart, Master Jun, don't be polite, take it and invite the brothers to drink tea and visit the kiln..."

Sure enough, he was supposed to adopt this method that would work across the entire multiverse in the first place.

After fooling the guards, the four of them finally entered this warrior capital that was full of Chinese style and had a long reputation in the entire Arad Continent.

[The main quest "Escort Minette" has been completed, and the "Intruder" team will receive a reward of 3,000 points each.] 】

[4F637N75 as the captain, an additional life crystal will be rewarded.] 】

Walking slowly on the bluestone-paved road, Xue Qiong looked at the photos of each shop, and said slowly: "First go find a place to stay, and then find someone to ask for directions, where is Xilan's dojo... He must be famous, right? ”

In the end, they could only rent a suite on the special services street in Suran...

Because the Void Ancestor has actually been implementing the policy of closing the country to the outside world all these years, they don't recognize the identity of foreign countries... In addition to the annual martial arts tournament, some people can pass with a certificate issued by the local official. In fact, when Xue Qiong and the four of them passed through the Great Wall on the border, they also threw the vehicle into the storage space, and then turned over it overnight.

After finishing some trifles, it was already noon. The four of them refused the service that the bustard was trying to sell, and after a meal in the brothel, they set off for Xilan's dojo.

This place is indeed good to inquire about... Just ask a vendor on the side of the road for directions, and they will point you out. But he said that the ashram had closed a few years ago, and if it was a quest, it was better not to forget it.

Xue Qiong and the others didn't care about these things, and quickly found a place. Because of the miracle, Xilan's dojo is actually very close to Flower Street, very, very close... Only half a street away, just a few steps away from where they lived.

It is said to be a dojo, but it is actually a relatively large house. The two vermilion lacquer gates are closed, and the doors are full of birds, but the cornices on the roof are golden and shiny... The outside and the inside of this house are like two worlds.

When Xue Qiong and the others were standing at the gate, they found that there was another person standing there.

The young woman, dressed in a long robe, with a light veil on her face, with a sword at her waist, and a wave under her loose clothes, carried several jars of wine tied together in one hand, and slammed the door with the other, and shouted in her mouth:

"Master! Open the door! I'm Nuoyu! ”

"Haven't you woken up yet?" the woman groaned for a moment, then shouted, "Shadow!" You kid open the door for me!! By the way, call the master up!! ”

Hearing this name, Xue Qiong was also taken aback. In contrast, the appearance of Nuoyu here is a more scientific development.

Because in the history of Arad, Xilan's closed disciple, Sha Ying, had already betrayed his master in 982 and ran to the Dark City... Is this another plot change? I don't know what the reason for this is.

"Who are you?" Nuo Yu called the door not to open, and turned around to find Xue Qiong and them. After looking at it a few times, he said in a very formulaic tone: "A few guests, are you from other countries who come to Master to seek art?" I don't know how you made it through the levels, and I don't want to know. But you may be disappointed, because Master closed the dojo twelve years ago and stopped accepting apprentices..."

"So, please go back."

didn't receive hints from important plot characters, and it seems that Nuo Yu's role in the original work is still too few after all. But neither this information nor Nuo Yu's eviction order was taken to heart by Xue Qiong. He just took out the letter and shook it in his hand, and said, "We are here to deliver the letter, and we are friends of Forrest Gump." ”

"Forrest Gump... Master's friend? Nuo Yu frowned, "Can you prove it?" ”

"The letter is not sealed." Xue Qiong handed the envelope to Nuo Yu.

Xue Qiong and they have also read this letter, but in fact, they didn't write anything important, roughly that Forrest Gump is going to retire temporarily, waiting for his girlfriend to come out of the mountain, and these young people are not bad, if you can, take care of it... Something like that.

"Look at this trace, he is indeed a master of swords, at least stronger than me... I believe you for now. After glancing at the contents of the letter, Nuo Yu returned it to Xue Qiong, "But you can also see that Master doesn't seem to be going to open the door today, so please go back, tomorrow..."

"Are you holding wine?" Xue Qiong smiled and pointed to the jars on Nuo Yu's left hand.

"It's the daughter of twenty years, Red... Wait, this has nothing to do with me being a diplomatic envoy to the royal family, it's just a little personal..."

"Black tequila from the dark elves, and elf wine from Hutton Marr." Xue Qiong stuffed the two wine bottles into Nuo Yu's hands, and he didn't throw them over harshly, because he knew that he would definitely throw them crookedly, "You don't have to knock on the door, just call out the name of the wine." ”

Nuo Yu glanced at Xue Qiong suspiciously, and then shouted at the house: "Black agave!" Elf Wine!! Twenty years of women..."

She was only halfway through her shouting when the two doors creaked open, and a man with loose hair and dirty clothes like a beggar poked his head out, yawned, and said:

"It's coming, it's coming! Enter the house, enter the house! ”

Nuo Yu did not show joy because of the appearance of the master, but immediately covered his nose with the back of his hand and complained: "Last night, I vomited on my clothes again and didn't wash them?!" ”

"You are..."Xi Lan reluctantly opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Xue Qiong and said, "The one in the Cave of Sorrow... So who's coming? ”

"I can't remember, I didn't report my name at the time." Xue Qiong smiled and said, "Sandru of Huttonmar, I have brought you wine, and there is also news of Forrest Gump. ”

Bald Head and Xiaoyun did not report the identity of the plot, but directly said the common name. Minette yelled "My name is Minette!" Remember my sister...", and then she was covered by Xiao Yun's mouth.

"Bald?" But Xilan's attention was not attracted by Minette at all, "What a big bald head....is this some kind of cold joke?" ”

"Master!" From the time Xi Lan accidentally said the words Sorrowful Cave, Nuo Yu's face became a little strange, and he didn't care about Xi Lan's dirty appearance now, and pushed him hard into the door, while saying angrily: "What is there to say!" ”

Then she turned around and shouted to Xue Qiong and the four people who followed up, "Bring the door!" ”

"Don't! Don't push! I'm in my forties and fifties! "Xilan is still struggling.

"Look at you like that! Like a man in his forties and fifties?! Nuo Yu stomped his feet, left Xue Qiong and them in the living room, and pushed Xi Lan into the back room.

Ten minutes later, Xilan came out in a relatively clean suit.

Xilan picked up a teapot, poured a mouthful of water into her mouth, rinsed her mouth with a snort, and then spit directly into the courtyard.

"Yawn... Yu went to do the laundry, so take out the wine first..."

Xue Qiong looked at Xi Lan's appearance, and since he entered the door, he was lying in the courtyard in a large shape, and another young man with ghost hands, after a while, took out a piece of life crystal from the storage space, and handed it to the bald head along with a wine bottle placed on the table.

"You go talk."

The bald head didn't know why, but he did it anyway.
