29. Reserve grain

What do groundhogs eat?

Lu Cheng is thinking about this question... Lucheng used to feed creatures like rabbits and otters, but he had the impression that groundhogs seemed to be vegetarians.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng summoned a portal to his home in a place where the groundhog couldn't see, reached into the portal and opened the refrigerator, and touched a carrot that he had just bought the day before yesterday.

"Here, you marmots should like this."

Lu Cheng used a dagger to cut the carrot into small pieces and handed it to the groundhog.

"Ahh Thank you. "This groundhog may have been stupefied, or maybe didn't even react to what Lucheng was doing.

It subconsciously stretched out its little short hand and grabbed the small piece of carrot, but... It reacted quickly.

"I'm not a mouse!" It threw the carrot in its hand onto the table, puffed up its chest, and looked like it was about to fight, "Standing in front of you is the giver of the Book of Simplicity!" Daughter of Crystallization! The Great Sage... ...... Xian"

"Pick it up."

Lu Cheng pressed the dagger against the marmot's neck, and the blade of the dagger was so sharp that the moment it touched the marmot's neck, several brownish-yellow hairs fell on the table.

"I... I ......"

It seems to be going to continue to shout a few more of its own titles, but it may realize that it will become a braised marmot if it says one more word, and silently picks up the carrot on the ground.

"Is there anything else to eat? I don't like to eat plants. "The groundhog chose to compromise under the threat of a dagger.

"Don't be picky, be obedient."

Lu Cheng said to the groundhog in a tone that did not allow refusal.

The groundhog could only start nibbling on the carrot in his hand with tears in his eyes.

While Lucheng was communicating with the groundhog, Tiehuan also parked the vehicle outside to report to Lucheng.

He walked into the alchemy workshop, but his eyes were fixed on the groundhog on the table.

"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng saw that Tiehuan had something to say.

"Captain, marmot meat is not delicious, a bit of firewood... And there is a possibility of getting the plague. ”

Tiehuan told Lucheng the reason why this rat creature couldn't be on the table.

"What is he talking about?" The marmot asked in between gnawing on carrots.

"Say your meat is not tasty, and you will get the plague." Lu Cheng translated the words of the iron ring.

"No... Delicious? You're not delicious! You're going to get the plague! ”

This groundhog's self-esteem is stronger than Lucheng expected, and it has naturally assumed the identity of a groundhog.

But it stopped somewhere in the middle of its sentence, because the gaze of Lucheng and Tiehuan made it feel creepy.

"It's... It's not delicious! The flesh of a waffle-digging creature is worse than that of a frog. Again, it changed its tune.

"Captain, can all the groundhogs in this world talk?"

Iron Ring didn't understand what the groundhog was saying, but he was sure it was the human language of this world.

He felt that the magic of this world was incredible enough, so the fact that animals could talk was also acceptable, and it was estimated that he would feel normal when a flying horse appeared in the next second.

"There's something special about this groundhog, it seems to have been changed by a human."

Lu Cheng withdrew the dagger in his hand, and it sat down on the table with a sigh of relief.

"Now you can tell me about your name." Lu Cheng is also interested in what kind of magic this world can turn people into a groundhog.

"It's Gmansis standing in front of you..."

It was about to continue to tell Lu Cheng about his past honorary titles at length, but the dagger in Lu Cheng's hand made its voice quieter and quieter.

"My name is Charlotte Byer Walker." It's honestly answered by Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng found a new notebook and a pen and recorded it.

"Age? What profession? Lu Cheng asked about the marmot named Charlotte as if he were doing a census.

"Seventeen years old, profession is a magic apprentice, the most gifted magic apprentice in Gmansis." It hadn't been honest for a second before it began to bring up its glorious past.

"Why are you here as a groundhog?" Lu Cheng asked one last crucial question.

"How can I tell ...... such a thing? When he did magic research that resonated with the leyline crystals, he failed, and his soul was swept up in a torrent of magic, and when he came back to his senses, he became a groundhog in the vicinity. ”

Under Lu Cheng's gaze, she honestly hugged the carrot in her hand and told Lu Cheng everything she knew.

"Research accidents? When you were doing research, your supervisor wasn't around? When our junior high school students do chemistry experiments, teachers will watch them. ”

Lu Cheng is just an analogy here, listening to the narration of this groundhog, the experiment of leyline crystallization resonance should be a little different from the experiment of potassium permanganate.

"I myself am the inheritor of the core of the Gemansis leyline, and I don't need a mentor to do this kind of resonance experiment...... Succeed. ”

Halfway through speaking, she glanced at the carrot she was holding on her little paws, and the whole rat looked a little melancholy.

"How long ago did this happen?"

Lu Cheng didn't want to continue to ask why it failed, if Lu Cheng was her mentor, it was estimated that the punishment for copying any safety regulations a hundred times would be less.

But if she really was an important person in the secret puja, the esoteric puja would have sent someone to find her.

"Fifteen days ago! Unknown person, I don't think you're from this country, right? ”

When she was asked, she finally cheered up again, this groundhog had learned to be obedient, and knew that her name was useless in front of Lucheng, a 'foreigner'.

"I am the daughter of the crystallization of the Esoteric Order of Gmansis, the Book of Primitives......"

"Don't tell the name of the dish, just say what you want." Lu Cheng interrupted the groundhog's opening remarks.

"It's easy! As long as you escort me to the country downstream of this river, where will there be people from the Esoteric Festival waiting... I'll pay you very well when I get there. ”

What she did along the way was not only shouting about her identity, but she also observed the relationship between Lu Cheng and the Scarre Kingdom Army.

Judging by the outfit alone, it was clear that Lucheng was not a soldier of Scalley, and even the language was different.

So she speculated that Lu Cheng's group should be similar to the identity of mercenaries... If it's a mercenary, she should be fine as long as she offers a higher price.

"This country is full of monsters like the Blood Crystal Beast, and you stay here just waiting to die... And their cities are all ruined like this, there shouldn't be much money to pay for the commission, you just need to escort me to the kingdom of Xiuen Zhelai in the lower reaches of the Green Leaf River! If you have a ship, it will take less than three days, and then the Gmansis will give you a price much higher than the price offered by the small country of Scarre. ”

When she said this, she seemed to have a kind of confidence that she was sure to win.

However, Lu Cheng did not answer her, and Elena suddenly poked her head out of the door of the workshop at this time.

"Lu Cheng, I found a sharpened machete near the workshop, can you use it?" Elena walked in with a gleaming butcher's knife in her hand.
