Purpose?My purpose was just to fix the weapon, and that's it, Barrett drank the lemon honey water from the cup and motioned to the halfling to not add any more.

As for the purpose of the others, the merchant was planning to buy some elven-style artwork, anyway, he himself said so, and it was impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake, the bodyguard and the guide were for gold coins, one needed to ensure the safety of the employer, and the other needed to take the employer to the final location, the elven holy land, as for the little mage, he seemed to be negotiating something with the elves in the holy land on behalf of the association, and the specific barbarians did not know much.

"Human beings come to the Hanhai Grassland for a purpose. Halfling Card put his hands on his stomach, "This can't be a trip to enjoy the flowers, because you don't look like the idle sons of the nobility. It can't be a simple business deal, and I haven't heard of a single wizard from the Magic Guild going to be a traveling merchant. ”

"Maybe I'm number one. Kreese followed the other man's example and put his hand on his stomach, "There's nothing wrong with being a traveling merchant, to be honest, I really have that idea!"

"I'll be selling some interesting alchemy items, such as rings with 'Giant Magic' that can be sold to dwarves and you halflings, crystal balls enchanted with 'magic tricks', which are sure to be popular with adults and children alike, and wands that emit flames, and wands that emit flames, and the apex of the wand that can be used to create small flames, although it doesn't hurt much, you can use it to make fire, which is definitely much better than flint. ”

"The idea is good, but I'm sure your customer base must be narrow. The halfling habitually scratched his buttocks, "Ordinary people generally only have two choices for what mages create, either they can't use it or they can't afford it. ”

"Then I'll sell some special items that aren't for ordinary people. The little mage clapped his hands, as if he had thought of a good idea, "These special items are quite expensive, requiring tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, or extremely rare magic materials to buy. ”

"What's the use, use it to make a fire?" asked Master Card.

"No, some of these items will be comparable to artifacts, and once you get them, you will become very powerful and able to make a name for yourself throughout the multiverse, others will be more ordinary, and they will be on par with the price, or even slightly lower than the purchase price, and the last ones can be called garbage, of course, not quite like ordinary garbage, and if you sell it to a grocery store, you can still sell a few, or a dozen gold coins. ”

"I don't think anyone is going to spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy some garbage. The merchant shook his head.

"Normally, of course, it's impossible, but what if I sell items in a particular way?" the little mage said more excitedly, "I mix artifacts, ordinary items, and junk items, and use magic to mask their appearance, characteristics, and materials, so that they all look similar, and you can only choose from them through luck and very limited eyesight." However, eyesight tends to have the opposite effect. ”

"Gambling like rolling the dice to guess the size?" said Barrriet's thoughts.

"Yes, that's right, that's it!" the little mage nodded violently, "but even then, not everyone can buy it. I would wander around the continent, and my whereabouts would be erratic, and people who wanted to buy things could only keep looking for my footprints and following my figure. But if you meet me and happen to have enough money on me, then an opportunity to suddenly become stronger will be in front of you. At that point, people will call me 'Mystery Merchant' because my whereabouts are mysterious, and so are the items I sell!"

"But where are you going to get so many artifacts?" Red Crab seemed interested in the way the little mage sold them, "There won't be only one item out of a hundred, no one will be a fool." ”

"It's definitely not going to be so low, maybe one out of five, maybe one out of ten, and I'll consider the specific ratio later," the little mage seemed to take this idea seriously, "When I become a legend in the future, and I have collected enough wealth in the multiverse, and I am bored with the long life, I may do this." Yes, I will!"

"Let's put the topic of the mystery merchant aside. The host felt helpless about the guests' digression, "If you really don't want to tell me the purpose of coming to Hanhai Grassland, it's no ......."

"No, there's nothing to hide. Krees said, "Our group is going to the elven sanctuary 'Lothlin'. ”

"You want to go to the Elven Territory?" Master Kad frowned.

"Why, isn't it okay?" asked the little mage rhetorically.

"Putting aside the dangers you will encounter on your journey, don't you know that those elves with long ears will be very disgusted with the people of the Holy Araso Kingdom, especially the cavalry?"

"But we don't have the cavalry of the kingdom here. The merchant was the first to speak.

"Oh?" the halfling druid paused, "Looks like you don't know each other very well." He turned his head to look in the direction of his guide, Jean, "It may be a bit rude to say that, but I've seen you and some other humans on more than one occasion, wearing the Bauhinia armor of the Holy Kingdom of Aratho, passing through this area near the village and heading into the depths of the grasslands. ”

It turned out that this man had his own secrets, and I thought that the most unknown guy would be a businessman, and Barritt turned his head to look at Jean sitting next to him, just like everyone else.

"What is this...... the guide's face was slightly embarrassed, "I did join the kingdom's 'Skylark' legion before, but I withdrew from the legion two years ago due to health problems. And I said in advance when you hired you, I will only take you to the edge of the realm of the Elven Holy Land, and will not follow you into it. So, it will not have any impact on your plans. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I just want to earn some mercenary money, and I don't have any other purpose, after all, everyone needs to live. If you still don't believe me, I can refund the deposit tomorrow and leave the group, and this Mr. Aegil should also know the way to the Elven Sanctuary. ”

"I did go to the Elven Sanctuary twice, because I once ransomed a male elven slave from a nobleman and opened the door to 'Lothlin through the elven slave's pathway, but that was ten years ago. The merchant scratched his head.

"Later, when I made a fortune, I felt that the trade route was too far and that some of the bestial tribes on the way were really dangerous, so I abandoned it. It's just that the business has not been ...... in the past two years ,That,It's not going well.,So I remembered this relationship with the elves again.。 As for the specific location of the Holy Land, I vaguely remember the general direction, but it is easy to get lost in the Hanhai Grassland, so ......" Ariel stretched out his hand and looked at Krees.

"It's not too late for you to wait until tomorrow when you leave. The halfling druid said suddenly, "And if you hear what I'm going to say next, you may abandon this journey and leave the Savannah and return to your human world." If you don't have any intention of giving up, then I think you might be able to do something if you want to. ”

......

At night, the torrential rain arrived as promised, sweeping through the entire halfling village. The clouds were so low that they seemed to be within reach, and the bean-sized raindrops beat rhythmically against the windows on the bark of the trees, making a dull 'thump' sound.

Lying in bed, Barrett was very satisfied with the dinner he had before, and it must be said that the halfling race was very good at cooking good food. One of the most special is the fried tulip bulb, which is fried with flour and grass leaves from the wild tulips of wild tulips in the grassland, and eaten with a little salt and pepper.

There are also steaming aromatic roast rabbit legs gathered in the pot, because the rabbit legs have been marinated in advance, so the flavor is very rich, and the surface is also coated with honey to make it golden and attractive, and the thin end of the rabbit leg is wrapped in oak leaves, so that it is easy to hold and eat directly.

and halfling fish soup, which is made of cod and crimson carp from Lake Cuiweis, and is made by frying pieces of fish with garlic and chives until golden brown, then removing the pieces and putting them in a pot and simmering them with tomatoes, parsley, windmill grass growing on the grassland, plump white mushrooms, fish heads, and fish bones. The thick red fish soup is delicious and is one of Barrett's favorite dishes.

The dessert is an acorn pudding, made with grated acorn powder with honey and goat's milk, which is firmer than regular pudding, but not as smooth in terms of taste.

While our barbarian adventurer was still savoring a sumptuous dinner, the little mage on the other bed suddenly asked him, "Well, you say, what should we choose?"

The stout oak house is divided into four floors, with two or three rooms on each floor, with the treehouse's owner, halfling Cad Oak Leaf, living on the second floor and visitors resting on the third floor. Barrett and the little mage were in the same room, and the other three were next door.

"Listen to you. Barrett said lightly, "You can choose however you want, I don't care anyway." For me, it's the same everywhere I do. ”
