Chapter 9: Nerif

Along the main road on the outskirts of the forest, a group of people was moving slowly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they were all in rags, as if they had just carried out a life-and-death escape.

"Chief, what are we going to do next? There are some brothers who have not been able to escape...", the bald head followed closely behind Marcas, who looked a little gray and looked like a down-and-out beggar after losing his gold.

"Fool, it's good that we can escape, and the rest of the brothers will talk about it later. Marcas's eyes welled up with vengeful rage, "It's time to get in trouble with those two little furry boys, as long as we can get the secret of that sword before that old woman, we can surely make a comeback." ”

"But we don't know where they've gone, where are we going to find them in the next moment?" asked the bald head, touching his shiny head.

"Are you as stupid as a wild man!" Marcus scolded without looking back, "Think about it! they won't be going back to Sun Town, and the nearby towns are the eyes and ears of the old woman, and their foothold is definitely not nearby!"

"So, where can they go?" the bald head still didn't understand what Marcus meant.

"You stupid pig, where else can they go but the neutral zone of the border, of course, only Noze or Tanatos!" Marcas stopped in front of the main road as he walked, "Tanatos is a treacherous terrain, and I bet the future supper they must have gone to Noze in the south." ”

"But before we can do that, we'll have to do something we do before. Marcus finished and walked towards a nearby farmhouse.

......

In the occupied camp.

"You're finally awake. Wu Erna looked at the trench coat man, who had been asleep on the ground for a whole day, and crossed her hands and tapped her fingers a little impatiently.

"Water..."The man in the trench coat had white lips, which was a symptom of excessive blood loss.

"Wang!" the coffee dog trotted, carrying a dead leaf and leaving some water from the creek on the edge of the camp and pouring it into the windbreaker man's mouth.

"Ahem!" The man in the trench coat's throat was very uncomfortable, and after waiting for his strength to recover a little, he found a wooden pole and leaned on it.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on, my patience has been worn out by you. Wu Erna frowned, anxiously awaiting the man's next reply.

"Crystal monsters... Ahem," the man in the trench coat rubbed his slightly swollen head, "Just as I was about to bring those two children back, I met that crystal monster in the forest. ”

"Crystals... Monsters?" Wu Erna was skeptical of the trench-coat man's words, "Iron Rock City doesn't have the ability to integrate crystals into living creatures, it could be from the relic forest to the west... Impossible, the Relic Forest is a continent away from us to the east, how could that kind of monster run to the east alone. ”

"I really happened to me, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a mess... Ahem... There's no way I'm going to deal with that level of monster anymore..."The man in the trench coat took the second portion of the stream from the coffee dog and drank it down.

"Leave that monster aside, just tell me where those two damned little ones were, did they run away with that sword?" said Witch Nar viciously, her forehead juggling with anger.

"Sure enough, you're looking for the sword, but unfortunately, things are exactly what you said... Anemo God, come hereβ€”" The man in the trench coat called.

"Wow!" The coffee dog wagged his tail and pounced on the man in the trench coat with both front paws. The man in the trench coat put his palm on its back, and then entered the memory of the coffee dog.

Carriage... Coachman... The coachman reappeared... The tracker beast can sense a wider range of sights than humans, and the man in the trench coat closes his eyes and continues to search in the memory of the coffee dog... The coffee dog's memory is black and white, and this memory is out of sight, so it seems a little blurry, but he still captures some clues.

It's not a good place to stay for long... Hurry up and go to Noze... This is a conversation between the coachman and Leah... The memory ended, and the man in the trench coat opened his eyes and told Wu Erna where they were.

Looking at the figure of Wu Erna throwing off the tent and leaving angrily, the man in the trench coat sighed, looked at the tall savage next to him and said: "According to the last clause in the contract, when the trustee is unable to carry out normal personal activities, this contract will be automatically cancelled, and the commission fee will be refunded in full..."

"Huh?" the wild man looked at him stupidly, not knowing whether he understood or not, and stood there like a log.

"Forget it, take me back to the guild. The man in the trench coat reluctantly stood up, found a piece of paper on the table and drew a house with a scope, and then drew an icon of a scope in the house.

"You!" the man in the trench coat pointed at the savage.

"Take me!" he pointed to himself again.

"Take it back here. He took out the drawing and showed it to the wildling, and then circled it.

"Ulu Ulu!" the wild man nodded, slung him over his shoulders and walked out.

......

New Brigade Town, the second floor of the lame dog inn.

The proprietress had already left Aven's room when Arrigon walked in with some new clothes.

"Alright, get ready, accompany me to meet an old friend. Alexon tossed his clothes at Aven, and then he came to the door across from him and slapped him heavily.

With a "squeak", a head poked out, half a head to be exact.

"Leah?haha!" Evan snorted out laughing, as if he had seen a mad woman with curly hair.

"I'll wait a minute. Leah gave Evan a blank look, said with a serious expression, took the clothes and quickly closed the door.

"Also, please be gentle next time you knock on a girl's door. Thank you. The door was closed again, and Alex reluctantly made a "I admit defeat" expression.

......

In a remote valley south of Newbrigade Town.

The hazy white mist gathered more and more, as if someone had set a fire in the forest, there were no clusters of trees around, some were just a single lonely old cedar tree, the mud under their feet was soft, as if it had just rained, and the air was still a little damp, mixed with a pungent and unpleasant smell.

"Your friend lives in a place like this?" Evan pinched his nose and cautiously followed Arigon. He believed that the pigsty in Suntown smelled much better than here.

"That's right, he lives here. Aregon seemed accustomed to the smells, and walked in front without frowning.

"Here we are, Tranquility Manor. He stopped in front of a fence.

The fog was so thick that Aven could only see a few acres of crops in the nearby fence, and a few figures seemed to be shaking a little further away.

"That's just a scarecrow, don't freak out. Alegon took a few steps to the right along the fence, opened a fence and walked in. Evan and Leah hurriedly followed, they didn't know how big the manor was, and they didn't even know where the owner's house was.

"Aven, how do I feel like this scarecrow is staring at me?" Leah tugged at Aven's cuffs as she walked.

"It's just a scarecrow in a hat, don't be afraid. Evan smirked and made a "I can't imagine that you have a time when you are timid".

"Really, it's really looking at me!" Leah froze.

"How could it be. Evan was a little speechless, he walked up to the straw man, poked it and looked back, "Look, nothing. ”

"It's... Itβ€”" Leah's face suddenly looked frightened, and motioned for Evan to look back.

"Ahh!!h

"Whew!" The surrounding scarecrows jumped down and surrounded Evan and Leah.

"Arigon!Alex!" Evan and Leah sat slumped on the field, desperately screaming for help, not knowing where to hide.

"Huh~" A crisp piccolo sound came from the farmhouse not far away. The flute sounded, and the scarecrow seemed to have received some kind of command, and jumped back on the wooden pole, returning to its previous stupid appearance.

"What are you still doing, come in. When the fog lifted, Arrigon stood at the door of the farmhouse not far away and beckoned.

In the farmhouse, a short old man in monocles is carefully wiping the piccolo in his hand, a little chubby in a gothic costume and pointy boots, looking like an antique shop owner, but at odds with the original manor.

"He's the owner of this manor, the Quiet Manor, Neriff, and a wizard. Alex introduced, then gave Evan and Leah their names to Nerif.

"Wizard?" Evan looked at the little old man in front of him, which was too different from the outfit of the Wild Witch he had encountered before.

"Son, not all wizards wear a peaked hat and then a cane. Nerif seemed to see through Aven's thoughts, and said bluntly, "Some wizards like to dress differently, but there are also wizards who like to follow traditions, just like some wizards are good and some wizards are evil, it's the same thing." ”

"I didn't expect to meet several wizards in such a short period of time, haha. Evan smiled to himself, suddenly remembered something, stopped his smile and took a half step back. He needs to keep a certain distance from Nerif's spittle.

"Wizards are now numbered and are a symbol of disaster and bad luck. Leah didn't understand why Alegon had brought them here.

"Although the status of wizards has changed dramatically after that incident, I can swear to the Great Five Witches that I am definitely a wizard with a sense of justice. Neriff moved a chair and sat down, but just as everyone thought he was going to have a long conversation, what happened a little suddenly.

"You can go. Neriff waved his hand and ordered the eviction.
