"My lord, what do you think of this room?" The old man pushed open the wooden door of a hut, which was an ordinary cabin, with wooden walls and floors, wooden beams, wooden roof, and wooden furniture. Although it is made of rough wood, it is spotlessly clean.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, it was already very good to be able to find such a place to live in a small village, in the past, he even slept in a stable, and it was even more common to sleep in the wilderness when he was on a mission, and it was already very good to have a clean place to live.

"It's good, the trouble is giving them some food, especially those girls, I don't think they have eaten for a long time. I'll pay when I leave tomorrow. ”

"It's not in the way, although we don't have much food, it's still okay for a few people to eat two meals, and your benefactor, it's too much to charge money for two meals." The old man hurriedly excused himself.

Li Mu saw that the old man was indeed sincere, so he didn't shirk it, and stayed down. After confirming that Li Mu did not need to serve, the old man withdrew to entertain the others.

After Li Mu saw that everyone else was going out, he closed his eyes and summoned the elemental ball to start a new round of communication. After a while, the knock on the door sounded again, and then the old man in the village walked in again, still holding a book in his hand, "My lord, I know that you don't look down on ordinary money and property, but it is not the tradition of our Sangbujia people to know and not repay the favor, I have a book here, a relic left by a traveling scholar, originally we planned to take it to the city to sell, but because of the war, there has been no chance, however, I think you will like this book, I hope you can accept it." As he spoke, the old man handed a parchment book to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the parchment book, and through systematic translation, Li Mu recognized the contents of the "Calradia Encyclopedia" on it. Seeing that it was this book, Li Mu's eyes lit up, and then he took out two gold coins and put them in the old man's hand, "I accepted this book, although he is nothing to you, but it means a lot to me, so please don't shirk this money." It's also good to buy some wheat to help the villagers through this crisis. ”

Listening to Li Mu's words, the old man's lips moved twice, and in the end he didn't say anything, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

Li Mu gently stroked the rather textured cover of the parchment book, and a smile appeared in his mouth.

The Encyclopedia of Calradia is a very useful skill book in the game, which can increase intelligence attributes, increase reading speed, and increase skill levels. It can be said to be a strategic-level artifact. However, there are no stats or skill levels in Game of Death game dungeons. As a result, the book becomes an ordinary encyclopedia. Maybe some of the research parties will like to collect, but there is no improvement in strength.

Li Mu didn't pay much attention to this book, what he really needed was the two drawings sandwiched in the book. One is a map of Calradia, and even includes charts of the nearby seas. The other is a treasure map, which leads to a mysterious dungeon.

Li Mu carefully received these two drawings in his bag. The encyclopedia was casually put aside, and he remembered that Jamila seemed to like these books, just in time to brush up on a wave of favorability.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the village began to come alive, and many people had already eaten breakfast and started their day's work. Li Mu also stopped cultivating. When he walked out of the house, Mo Mocha and the others had already gathered in a big room to have breakfast. Coarse bread with salted fish is a relatively hearty breakfast in the countryside.

After breakfast, Li Mu and his entourage said goodbye to the old man and rushed directly to Chanda.

Maybe it's because they cleaned it up when they came, but on the way back, Li Mu and the others didn't encounter the pirates who blocked the way. Smoothly returned to Chanda Town.

After returning to Chanda Town, Li Mu came to the police station with a familiar car, submitted his recent mission to hunt pirates, received a bounty, and handed over several refugees rescued to Harrick by the way. The resettlement of these war refugees has always been the responsibility of Harrick. Count Arassis arranged some odd jobs for these refugees, which could create some value for the town. Second, I can also find something to do for these refugees, so that they will not be bored.

In the end, among the nameless girls rescued by Li Mu, only Jamila and Kress chose to join Li Mu's mercenary group, and the rest hoped to live a more stable life.

In this regard, Li Mu didn't say much, everyone has their own choice, you can't ask everyone to be dead set on you. Nor can you expect everyone you help to reciprocate in return. Li Mu himself is also more inclined to take the elite route, after all, this is a world where personal force is infinitely magnified, and he is more inclined to recruit these famous people who are fortunate enough to be more familiar with him. Instead of recruiting some cannon fodder.

He took Jamila and Kress to Alex's armor shop and picked out a set of chain mail, a set of plate boots, and a rabat (masked helmet) for each of them. He went to Robin's weapons shop and chose a knight's dagger for each of them, and Kress himself bought four additional throwing knives as auxiliary weapons. As for the horses, they are the same as Li Mu's, fierce horses in vests.

After settling these things again, Li Mu decided to take a day off and continue hunting pirates tomorrow. After disbanding the group, he himself went to Suke's tavern for a drink.

He slowly became familiar with the habit of completing a task and having a drink in the tavern. Remember, the last time I went with someone from the church.

Drinking the clear ale wine, Li Mu fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a team of mercenaries walked in from outside. These mercenaries were more or less wounded, and their bodies were more or less bandaged. One of the mercenaries at the head carried a large shield with a hideous crack in it.

"Isn't this the Midas Mercenary Regiment, why are they like this?" Several of the mercenaries immediately recognized the mercenaries who had come in and whispered about them.

The maidas mercenary group came to a round table and sat down on their own, while Suke came over with a few beers, "What's the matter, you're in trouble?" ”

Midas snatched the beer glass and drank it in one gulp, then took a long breath, "It's really unlucky, I was busy strangling the pirates all day long, and in the end I was ambushed by a group of pirates." ”
