At a round table in the corner, there were five people sitting, none other than the Tigers, who had not been seen for a long time! At this moment, seeing that Qin Fen actually raised his hand to raise his glass, the lord's face sank, and he grinned and showed a terrifying smile, two scarlet eyes flashed in the dark, and the killing intent was overflowing.

Nina glanced over there curiously and said:

"The Tigers? What, they had a holiday with the boss? ”

Qin Fen nodded, smiled at Miss Yinzi, and said, "I once had an unpleasant experience with them in the legend of the night. ”

"That's right," Nina rubbed her eyebrows, "The strength of the Tigers is roughly a first-class team, but these guys have a disdainful way of doing things, and they always like to hunt down ordinary adventurers who are lonely, and they are one of the famous killing squads. However, the strength of the other party is very good, especially the captain, I heard that it has been strengthened to the A-level vampire bloodline! Although the vampire bloodline is only a low-level bloodline, it will definitely be a qualitative change after being strengthened to A-rank...... Then again, boss, what's the 'unpleasant' method between you and them? ”

Qin Fen took a sip of the rum in the cup and said with a smile:

"Well, it's about the point that they want to kill me when they meet, and I can't tolerate them in my eyes."

Nina: "......"

"Well, who made you the boss, being rich is capricious."

Next, Nina told a lot of information, such as the number of adventurers who participated in the dragon slaying this time, and the number of people was close to 50! Then there are the warriors that Gandalf has summoned from all over the country, including dwarves, elves and even two treants! The total number of people is probably as high as hundreds!

And at noon today, shortly before Qin Fen and their arrival, Gandalf feasted all the dragon slaying warriors in the tavern. And in the course of a pleasant banquet, the mission goal of taking the lonely mountain directly was announced. Then everyone stopped in this human village called "Mosar" for the final rest and food and water supplies, waiting for tomorrow dawn, everyone will step into the lonely mountain.

It's only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still a long time before tomorrow's official departure, and everyone is reluctant to spend time in this foul-smelling tavern, because really valuable information will not circulate casually in such an environment.

"Is there a place to stay? Let's talk in a different place and take a break by the way. Qin Fen said.

"Okay, come with me." Nina grinned and led the way out of the tavern.

Perhaps it's by nature that she quickly looks for a way to escape from every place she arrives, so Nina seems to be familiar with it. From time to time, there were children in ragged clothes and thin faces running around and playing on the road, but after encountering strangers such as adventurers, they immediately avoided them, hiding behind the door or in the corner of the wall and staring at everyone with a pair of dark eyes, with a faint fear in their eyes, obviously told by their respective parents not to talk easily with strangers, and even in the goodnight story these outsiders are described as man-eating flood beasts.

And those hounds are also skinny, their vigilance is much stronger than that of humans, and the remnants of the beast instinct always remind them that these guys in front of them have a faint smell of blood, and the Jedi are not the little children who will cry when they are chased by themselves.

So when Qin Fen and a few people walked by, these vicious dogs were also far away, whimpering softly with their tails between their legs, and there were not even a few of them barking wildly.

In the end, a few people stopped in front of a two-story wooden house, and Qin Fen also noticed that there was a wooden pole in front of the wooden house, on which were several white beast skulls.

Soon, as soon as the sound came, a middle-aged man with a limp came out to greet him. This middle-aged man is also dressed in an ordinary way, with a black and yellow head cloth, blue-gray linen shorts and a long shirt, and the trousers and cuffs are tied up with woven thin straw rope, which looks very capable at first glance. In addition, there was a very hideous and terrible scar on this man's face, which started from the right side of his forehead and went diagonally to the left corner of his mouth. The right eye was directly exploded, and from the huge scar, you can see how dangerous the middle-aged man's situation was at that time.

The guy had a pipe in his mouth, and when he saw everyone, he didn't look surprised, he didn't even ask, he just smiled and nodded, grinning and showing a mouthful of teeth that were yellowed by smoke.

Nina introduced Qin Fen:

"This is my landlord, Sandler, who is an old hunter in the mountains and has a great craft."

Qin Fen nodded, and then took out the gift from behind his back, it is not strange to be polite, being polite to the peasant hunter will only make them cramped and uneasy, and it is far less practical than the benefit. Just half a bag of about twenty pounds of snow-white salt made the wife behind Sandler smile from ear to ear, and the fear of strangeness at the beginning was immediately changed to a hospitable aunt mode, taking everyone's hands and walking into the house. By the way, I didn't forget to kick the old man standing next to me, and said:

"Dead ghost, what are you doing here? Don't get out of the way quickly, if you annoy your guests, see if I don't want you to look good! ”

was scolded by his mother-in-law, this hardcover man was not annoyed, and he smiled and let it aside.

Then the mother-in-law directly called the neighbors to grab a handful of fine salt and leave, and by the way, she enjoyed the envious gaze of the neighbors.

Entering the house, Miss Yinzi saw two black little beans poking out from behind the door, and immediately took out a large bag of candy and snacks and handed them to them, which was difficult to find within a radius of hundreds of miles, and was immediately eagerly sought after by the children. Originally, these babies were still a little scared, but it didn't take long for them to chew milk candy and grin everywhere.

Salt and candy are nothing at all, but in exchange for the gratitude and kindness of this family, it is naturally quite cost-effective. This can be seen in the fact that the dinner is clearly above the standard of living in this village.

Qin Fen and the others had been trekking for several days in order to catch up with the dragon slaying team, and when they were idle at the moment, they naturally felt that their eyelids were falling, so they simply brought well water from the backyard, and after rinsing their whole bodies, they fell asleep in Sandler's house, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep.

In addition, in order to avoid mosquitoes or something to disturb people's dreams, Sandler also specially caught his own house snake to accompany everyone. So much so that when Nami-chan woke up, she saw a big snake hovering in front of her as soon as she opened her eyes, and she screamed in fright, and when she figured out the reason, she was directly ashamed to see people......

Originally, the small town of 'Mosar' was plagued by mosquitoes because of its proximity to the lonely mountain, so the residents here formed the custom of keeping a snake called "flower porcelain plate" as a domestic snake.

This snake is somewhat similar to the real-life cauliflower snake, but is significantly larger. And the character is very docile, the intelligence is very high, about the level of a three- or four-year-old child, and there are few examples of hurting people.

The reason for raising it is because it exudes a very special aura, which from a scientific point of view should be some kind of animal hormone. Ordinary people naturally can't smell it, but once mosquitoes and the like capture the information hormones that permeate the air, they will immediately stimulate the ancient gene fragments, and the breath of natural enemies will make these mosquitoes instinctively escape.

In addition, this snake is also very good at hunting rats, and as a species that has been around since the age of the dinosaurs, even in Middle-earth, rats are infested. This low-level mammal has a strong stomach function and a terrifying reproduction rate, so much so that it is constantly killed.

Middle-earth naturally has no rat poison, so the residents of the small town of Mosar raise snakes to get rid of rats, and even hunt thousands of rats and finches every year, without bothering to feed them at all.

Because of this, in this run-down town near the Lonely Mountain Range at the northern tip of Middle-earth, scenes of snakes and humans living in harmony abound. Humans need snakes to guard their food, and snakes need granaries to lure rodents and birds, so a peculiar 'symbiosis' system was formed.

And because snakes are cold-blooded animals, after the hot summer months, the townspeople usually sleep with snakes to cool off. The cold snake body is quite comfortable on the skin, as if it is an air conditioner, and for the snake, the warmth of the human body also makes it feel very comfortable. Of course, it is precisely because of the habit of sleeping with humans and snakes that the locals often bathe domestic snakes. Because snakes actually have quite a lot of parasites on their bodies, especially in the cracks of the scales. After boiling water with wormwood, mango and grass horn for a long time to bathe and swallow the house snake, it can make it very healthy.

In the first few cases, the snake will be resistant to bathing wormwood water, but after forming a habit, it will not only open its scales to bathe, but also swallow it, and even if it does not wash every once in a while, the snake will take the initiative to coil in the wooden basin of the bath, urging the owner to help with the bath.

Domestic snakes do not have to run around in hunting adventures, and they are also taken care of by humans in terms of health, and naturally, their lifespan is often twice that of ordinary snakes.

Often, after the domestic snake adapts to the life with humans, it will be designated as its own forbidden territory, and even the rest of the snakes or other insects will fight to the death if they want to invade. Whenever their family snake dies, the residents of the town will be very sad and regretful, as if a loved one has left......

Although it may sound strange that humans and snakes can live in peace and live in peace, it is the same as a small bird that lives on a rhinoceros or a small fish that lives in the mouth of a big fish. You may not be able to accept it at first, but after a long time, you will become accustomed to it.
