Chapter 42: Nagging X Catching Chickens
When he went back, Noah couldn't remember a little, but he remembered that the night was already dark, the mountain wind was cold, and the dry taste of his mouth.
The cold wind that keeps blowing from the mountains blows the body cold, not to mention, Haier seems to be drunk, with a smirk on his face, he can eat roasted bamboo shoots with such an effect, Noah is also convinced, it turns out that roasted bamboo shoots are such a diverse and multi-functional thing.
Overall, though, it's not bad.
When he woke up the next morning, Noah's mouth was still very bitter, and he didn't feel good sleeping on the ground, and Noah felt uncomfortable all over.
Getting up, Noah walked out of the station.
The post station is much higher than the village, and you can see the whole picture of the village under the mountain from here, and many people are in their homes, and the children in the village are gathering together, squatting on the ground and playing something.
Holding the jerky, Noah chewed slowly, watching what was happening in the village below.
After a while, Bron also came out, rubbing his eyes with a sleepy expression, "It's so bad here, there's no place to wash." ”
Noah pointed to the small river that shimmered in the morning light along the outskirts of the village, "You can do it there." ”
"Come on, so far. Bronn grumbled, and he went in again, and then came out again a short time later, also with a piece of jerky in his hand.
Along with the jerky, there are also Haier and Davy.
They all came to Noah's side, each holding a piece of jerky in their hands, and the village at the foot of the mountain seemed to have some kind of magic, and the four of them looked at it in unison.
"Did you say they would leave?" Davy asked, a little uncertain, the name of the village in the village below the hill didn't look like he was packed.
"Who knows. Bron answered naturally.
"According to Merlin, it shouldn't be possible to go today. "Helldo, long before he came here, Merlin said that it is not easy to get people out of their hometown, even if it is only for a few short months.
The three of them looked at Noah, and David asked, "What do you say, Noah?"
Noah looked back at the three of them and felt that it was really a fool's errand, "What's the matter, no matter what, this is a question that Merlin should think about, we just need to follow his ass, what he says, what we do." ”
The three of them widened their eyes in surprise, revealing a look of thought, and nodded after a moment, "Yes." ”
"Speaking of which, why hasn't he gotten up yet. David complained slightly, Merlin was sleeping when they came back yesterday, and now that they are up, he is still sleeping, how sleepless this man is?
Noah turned his head and continued to chew on the jerky without distraction, asking him to say that it was because Merlin hadn't gotten up yet that the three guys had so much nonsense.
"Do you want to wake him up?" asked Brown.
"Forget it, what if I get out of bed?" said David.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do, why don't you dig bamboo shoots again?" Haier suggested.
"Come on, it's so unpalatable. Bronn was speechless.
"So, a fight?" Hale looked at Noah with burning eyes, he still couldn't forget the three times he was beaten yesterday.
Noah didn't even give him a look, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.
"Then let's cultivate separately. Bronn tangled.
Noah was a little speechless, why do you have to find something to do? This is not the First Magic Academy, nor is it the First Mercenary Academy, there is no mentor to supervise, why should you be so strict with yourself?
Isn't it okay to be lazy once in a while and enjoy a leisurely time?
"O god of fire, lend me your power, fireball!" the fireball appeared, writhing in Bron's hand, rolling and releasing heat.
Haile moved his body, took off his coat, and began to do push-ups, and after a while, he stopped, looking at the disappearing fireballs in Bron's hand with a look of envy, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, magicians are also very good, and they don't have to be as tired as us, sweating all day long, rolling in the mud." ”
The fireball in Bron's hand dissipated, he was able to become a junior mercenary, and he knew how much energy and physical strength mercenaries needed to spend every day in order to exercise their bodies, but he was still a little puzzled by Haier's words, "The spell of the fireball technique is just such a short sentence, you also have magic in your body, you really want to practice magic, and someone can stop you?"
As long as there is magic in the body, and you know the spells of related magic, not only magicians, mercenaries can also release magic, mercenaries need to spend a lot of time to absorb magic in their bodies, and it is normal to be weaker than magicians in the use of magic, but people can't exercise all the time, and they are rich in practicing magic in their spare time.
Otherwise, how did he go from mercenary to magician?
Haier began to do push-ups, but his mouth kept stopping, "You don't know, the instructors in our academy are old and perverted, what do you say that single-mindedness can make the fastest progress, and you are not allowed to practice magic at all, if you dare to practice, he will dare to catch and be caught, that is a fat beating, plus devil-like physical training, I was fortunate to experience it once, and since then I have had an epiphany, cherish life and stay away from magic." ”
Noah was still standing in front of the broken slope and turned his head, "Your mentor can't appear here, you can experience the magic of magic a little, it's okay." ”
Haier's body trembled, "Forget it, I don't dare." ”
"If you like it, why be afraid?" Noah said softly.
Haile looked thoughtful, and he stood up, "It seems that this is the truth. ”
Bronn trembled, inexplicably, he felt that the current Noah was a little scary, obviously just said a few ordinary words, but it seemed to be the whisper of the devil, with an unconcealable magic, tempting people to fall step by step.
But in the end, Haier didn't succeed in practicing, and when he stood up, Merlin walked out of the post station with sleepy eyes, and Noah secretly said that it was a pity.
"You've all woken up so early. Merlin squinted, blocking the sunlight with his hand.
"It's not too early, is it?" Haile turned his head.
Merlin raised his head and looked at the sky, and said seriously: "Where, it's still early." He sighed, "Eh, I'm getting old, and I'm not the same as you young people." ”
Noah looked at Merlin, his skin was smooth, his eyes were calm and calm, and he looked up, and his head was not bald.
Merlin slowly walked to the side of a few people, glanced at the villa under the mountain, and only glanced at it casually, "Let's go to the mountains to find something delicious." ”
"What's delicious?" Haier asked, his eyes lit up, he could accept jerky, but there were better ones, and of course he wouldn't refuse.
"Hares, pheasants, wild fish, whatever. Merlin said.
"Yes, yes. Haier nodded repeatedly.
"Aren't the villagers down the hill going?" asked David, remembering what Merlin had said to the villagers yesterday, it was an agreement.
Merlin pointed to the bottom of the mountain, at this moment, there were already many villagers going to work in the fields, and a few of them were walking towards their hilltop, carrying baskets on their backs, probably planning to chop some firewood or find some wild things, a busy scene, completely did not listen to what Merlin said yesterday.
"Seeing that they are not in a hurry to leave, what is the use of us urging. Merlin smiled and continued, "Of course, the stomach is still important, and the most important thing we need to do now is to find today's lunch." ”
"I agree. Noah said that Noah was more inclined to look for food than to go down the mountain to find those villagers.
"It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it's not difficult to fill your stomach. Merlin said, "Our lunch will come from the mountains." Merlin suddenly seemed to be a poet full of poetry, and began to chant loudly, "Take the sachet in your package, and we will go up the mountain, the sachet has the effect of removing poison, and it is very useful." ”
Merlin suggested, Noah and Haier were very interested, and the rest of Davy and Bronn could only choose to obey.
Noah and the others entered the station, each took the sachet in the package, and then followed Merlin towards the mountain.
Walking on the road, Merlin said: "Whether it is a mercenary or a magician, the ability to survive in the wild is essential, and the most important thing is to know how to fill your stomach. ”
"Filling your stomach is a very deep science, first of all, you must know what food is in the mountains where you are located, secondly, you must understand the habits of these food things, where they generally live, and at the same time, you must be careful not to step on the nest of those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and finally, you must know how to effectively catch these food. ”
Merlin looked at everyone with a smile, "I can tell you unequivocally that there are pheasants in this mountain range, and there are quite a few of them, but they are agile and fast, and they are very capable of catching them. ”
"As a top student of the First Magic Academy, the First Mercenary Academy, and the Magic Academy, I think it should be easy for you to capture a small pheasant with the strength of the four of you. ”
Merlin led Noah and the others over a hill to the wild forest behind the mountain, and vaguely, a trail could be seen extending deeper into the mountain.
The trail is overgrown with weeds. There are still villagers here, but they are already inaccessible.
"The sachet in your hand can dispel poison, but there are no absolutes, and you still have to be careful when you catch pheasants. ”
"Got it, got it. Haier said impatiently, as a student of the Mercenary Academy, they are not a delicate flower, and they have seen a lot of scenes.
However, Haier also has some worries, afraid that Noah and Bron will not be able to adapt, after all, magicians are all delicate flowers. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the calm on the faces of Noah and Bron, and he realized, these are two men who can defeat him, how can they be afraid of the mountains and forests.
Noah looked at Merlin, although they didn't get along for a long time, but he had already figured out Merlin's character, such a long story, obviously had its purpose, this purpose, in fact, Noah felt that he had already guessed a thing or two, he didn't plan to say it, he wanted to see what Merlin would do in the future.
