Jiang Jinjiu, who lightly recounted the past, rarely fell into a mood of sometimes sadness and sometimes nostalgia: "My father finally died of a recurrence of an old injury, and then I also traveled a lot of places, and finally settled in Nanshan and no longer continued to drift, and lived for many years." This set of kung fu was the only spiritual pillar that could bring him comfort in the last period of his life, and it was also the most precious gift he left me. ”

"Cultivation will enter the Dionysian skill, you need to consume a lot of liquor, wine is the essence of food, through drinking alcohol on the one hand, digest and absorb a large amount of energy generated by food, on the other hand, accelerate the circulation of qi and blood to improve the speed of cultivation, and can also use alcohol to stimulate the brain and temper the spirit through a special method."

"No wonder Brother Jiang wants to open a bar and make wine himself." Chen Jian was also eye-opening to this way of practice.

"But the deeper the effort, the higher the demand for alcohol, and now it is difficult for ordinary alcohol to stimulate my body enough, resulting in slow progress in recent years. It can only be accumulated slowly in order to break through. I didn't expect the Warcraft snake gall soaking wine and dwarven spirits I drank here to be very different from the ones I used to drink. It generated a whole new thrill and allowed me to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop. ”

Eating can cure diseases, drinking alcohol can increase strength, Chen Jian felt that their combination could be renamed the Wine Bag Rice Bag Adventure Group.

After being full of wine and food, Chen Jian did not forget his goal: to collect fresh mushrooms from Lu Xing. I drew the appearance of fresh mushrooms on paper.

Valen, who often hunted in the forest, said that he had never seen a monster at this time, but after Chen Blade's description, Morgan Sr. remembered a kind of cave demon mushroom that his dwarven friend had mentioned, and its mycelial tentacles could secrete poison that paralyzed living beings. It's not a monster, it should be a magic plant.

Hearing that Chen Jian and Jiang Jinjiu were going to collect this kind of magic plant in the underground cave, Old Morgan was really deeply shocked by the spirit of these two people, who wanted to eat and die.

"There are far more monsters in the underground caverns than in the forest, and although Lord Kratos is a glorious warrior, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter more terrifying monsters, demon plants, or a large number of demon insects in the underground caves."

Chen Jian couldn't help but didn't tell Old Morgan that even if it was an insect, there was a way to cook it into a delicacy, for fear that he would scare the old village chief if he said it. After eating the fresh mushrooms, the Saman python and the spiky crab, Chen Jian became more and more interested in the ingredients of this world.

Perhaps because the environment is better, or because the ingredients are wild, the dishes made with Orient's ingredients have a very unique flavor and a more distinct taste.

Yes, it's vivid, as if you are not just tasting it with your tongue, but you feel like your whole body and mind are immersed in the delicious hot spring.

Perhaps because the locals are more religious in their faith, or because they have really not eaten anything good in the past, they have developed a "belief in food" that is two or three times higher than that of earthlings.

"I suggest you go to the Mercenary Guild and hire some mercenaries to form a group to go underground. In particular, some thieves who can stealthily detect are very necessary in the exploration of underground caverns. For a legal career, consider hiring a druid who is familiar with the underground. And one warrior is not enough, to protect the priest, the legal profession, at least two or more warriors can echo from the end. Effectively prevent sneak attacks. ”

Morgan Sr. was a soldier when he was young, and after leaving the army, he also participated in many expeditionary jobs as a mercenary. There is a lot of experience to talk about in this area. Let Chen Jian listen to Lian Lian and nodded. It's really an old family, if there is a treasure.

"The nearest mercenary union is in Vinoa Town, and it just so happens that you can sell Shaman's snake head and belt for some money, and let the caravans who dare not come here because of Shaman's appearance know that we are safe here."

No wonder the old man was so kind, it turned out that he was still thinking about this wishful thinking.

"Why did you say it was inconvenient for you to go to Vinoa Town?" Chen Jian remembered that when he was collecting the black grass before, old Morgan said with a strange face that their village would try not to go to Vinoa Town.

"Lord Roy has just arrived here, and I don't know the situation, the village of Il was originally one of the territories belonging to Baron Vinoa. We, the villagers, are naturally the lords of the Baron."

The old village chief took a sip of wine, sighed and continued: "Ten years ago, a magician came to the Misty Forest, as if he had come to find the legendary elven treasure. ”

"Elven treasure?" Hearing the adventure element that the treasure was so fond of, Chen Jian suddenly came to his senses.

"Treasures and other things are legends, in the past, the Misty Forest was not the territory of humans, but a tribe belonging to the elves. After the Dawn Station, the elves retreated, and after renewing their alliance with the humans, most of the elves left the forest where they lived, and now it is said that only the Silver Moon Forest on the northern shore of the Falling Star Sea and the Supreme Forest of the Southern Continent still belong to the elves. ”

"Legend has it that every elven tribe has ever inhabited a forest that has left a treasure that the elves have not been able to take with them when they leave, waiting for the day when they can return to the forest that belonged to them, and then open the treasure."

"Is there really a treasure?"

"Who knows, it is said that someone once dug up the treasure left by the elves in a forest, so fifty years ago there was a craze to go to the forest to explore the treasure, at that time we were lively here, every day all kinds of adventurers came here, dreaming of getting rich overnight, but after more than ten years passed, nothing was found, and then the craze gradually subsided, and everyone felt that not necessarily every elf tribe would definitely bury the treasure."

"Where did you just go?" It's easy to talk about the day, and the old village chief talked about the magician who came to the Misty Forest ten years ago under Chen Jian's reminder.

"Before the magician came, the Misty Forest was foggy all the time, but it wasn't as constant as it is now. The magician was not in a good temper, and when Baron Vinoa knew that a magician was here, he was glad to send someone to visit him. As a result, he was killed by a single spell from the magician. ”

"For this kind of provocation, the Baron naturally couldn't bear it, and hired two warlocks at a high price, plus his own knights and soldiers, he wanted to capture this foreign magician, but he was killed again."

After knowing that the other party was a powerful magician, Baron Vinoa was so frightened that his family fled to Fran City overnight, and later found that this magician almost didn't come out after occupying the Misty Forest. Half a year later, he quietly returned, but he and his men never dared to approach the Misty Forest again, nor did they dare to come to the village of Il. ”

"Of course, this is a good thing for us, the tax collector does not dare to come to the village to collect taxes, and we no longer have to go to the town of Vinoa for military service and hard labor. But we have also become outlaws in the barony's realm. The people in the town hated us, and the people in the other villages were jealous of us. We don't dare to go anywhere except in the Misty Forest, and there will be no one to protect us if we are killed or robbed outside. ”

Looking out the window, the forest in the distance was dark in the moonlight. Chen Jian was secretly glad that he hadn't met the strange-tempered magician when he walked out of the forest.

"In that case, can we hire someone from the Mercenary Guild to explore the Misty Forest?"

"It's hard to say, but apart from the fact that every few months he sends a golem to the village or to the town to buy something to let people know that he is still in the forest, no one has seen him for many years, and he hasn't killed anyone again."

Chen Jian thought about it for a while and accepted the old village chief's suggestion, planning to leave for Vinoa Town tomorrow to hire some helpers.
