Chapter 536: Temporary Teammates
After signing the cooperation contract and paying a deposit of 10,000 gold coins in advance, Cindy took out a booklet and handed it to Downton.
"The above is a list of things adventurers need to pay attention to in the dark regions, as well as a list of items to prepare. ”
Downton was still wondering if he had met a liar, but he was relieved to see this ultra-detailed list of local herbs for treating acute dysentery.
Even if Cindy goes missing, this information will be enough to make him to the hobbit town.
It was an adventure that would have taken at least three months, so Cindy gave Downton two days to pack his bags.
Space equipment is rare and expensive, even if the adventurer has the wealth to afford it, he has to reasonably match the materials he carries, after all, there are very few local tyrants like Downton who have war space and can load things casually.
"Extravagance is also an original sin!"
Seeing that Homer had prepared all kinds of supplies for a hundred years, even the spring water was filled with tens of thousands of liters in iron buckets, and five baths a day was enough for ten months, which made Downton sigh.
"Be prepared, you don't want to starve to death in the secret realm, do you?"
Homer is for Downton's sake, there are too many things to be wary of when going out, at least even the food of the same team member can't be eaten, it's all common sense.
Because the Green Goblin is very rare, Downton decided to buy a new war horse in order to avoid being guilty of being assassinated and robbed, only to be sprayed with dog blood by Homer.
"Mounts are important items that matter between life and death, how can you change them casually? Even if the Green Goblin has wisdom and has reached a tacit understanding with you, he needs to get along with each other constantly. ”
There is nothing wrong with caution, but Downton is using it in the wrong place.
"After joining the team, everyone's information must be reported to the group leader and guide, and you will kill people on the spot in the Dark Elf Tavern. Having rejected the recruitment of the Bavarian royal family, he must have become famous, and with that skull dragon, to be honest, those who want to plot against you have to weigh themselves well. ”
The cheap god said this selfishly, and she wished that Downton would show all the good things. Then attract a large group of pretenders to besiege him, so that he can kill openly and openly, so that he can also get a part of the soul remnants.
During the two days of preparation, Downton has been taught a lesson, one is the Great Encyclopedia of the Ancients, the other is the fallen gods, no matter how cheap it is, the abundant experience has completely destroyed him, so he has no excuse to refute it. However, he also learned a lot.
The meeting time was 7 o'clock in the morning, outside the east gate of Piana, and when Downton arrived, he saw that there were already quite a dozen merchant groups waiting here.
Mules and horses with bridles, wagons full of supplies, and mercenaries chatting and farting together, under the light of the brilliant morning light, constitute a picture of a thousand miles of journey.
The stewards took the list. Count the goods, and from time to time kick the servants who are beside you. Their faces were intertwined with solemnity and excitement, both tempted by the lucrative benefits and worried about the dangers of the journey.
It didn't take much for Downton to find his guide, Cindy, who was still dressed as a Ranger and wore tight-fitting dark red leather armor. Stepping on a pair of knee-high boots.
She was emaciated, carrying a short-handled hunting bow, a long and a short curved scimitar at her waist, and a dagger stuck in her boots, almost armed to the teeth. Other than that, there was a large black cloak that hung down to the crook of the leg.
This is a must-have equipment for adventurers, and once camping, even if there is no tent, as long as the waterproof cloak is tightly wrapped, it can also be used as a blanket.
"Wait a minute, there are still a few people who haven't come!"
Seeing Downton, Cindy nodded and glanced at the Green Goblin he was leading, but more on Hu Tao, as little Lori was sitting cross-legged on the back of the Void Ray, holding the reins and looking curiously left and right.
"It's a flying mount?
"The void ray of the undead is rare, and I don't know where she got it, and it seems that her rank is not low. ”
"With this kind of mount, the survival rate is increased by at least fifty percent, after all, if you can't fight, you can escape, once you take off, as long as you don't run into the flying demonic beasts underground, you basically won't die. ”
The people around looked at the Sky Ray, whispering, and their eyes showed envy, and as for Downton's Green Goblin, they didn't pay attention when they looked at it.
"Huh, I'm a pure-blooded hot nightmare, why don't I have as much attention as a broken fish?"
The Green Goblin was originally walking with his head held high and marching in dressage, just to receive admiring eyes and comments, but who knew that the road was completely ignored, which made it super depressed.
"Come on, look at the mounts around you, I've seen no less than a hundred of the famous pure-blooded war horses alone, and there are not a few of them that are rarer than you. ”
Downton can be regarded as knowing how lonely he is, there is an unwritten standard in the adventure world, only when he reaches the fourth order of ruling, he can protect himself by going to the dark region, so those who have the courage to take this trip are not bad.
When it comes to the Judgment Tier, the value of the Magic is basically expensive, and the mount is very important, so spending money on rare mounts is completely normal.
Not to mention pure-blooded war horses, undead war horses, hell nightmares, Komodo war monsters, highland goats, these rare mounts can be seen a lot, as for the rarer chocobos, velociraptors, Downton has seen several, among these rare mounts, although the green goblin is good, but not enough to become the focus.
"No, I'm going home!"
The Green Goblin lost his temper and pouted his ass and straightened the reins.
Downton's black line was hesitating to say something, and the Green Goblin continued to break his mouth.
"Why don't you persuade me? How can I ask for payment? Wait, you're not going to take another mount, are you?"
The Green Goblin quickly denied his own judgment, "No, how can those garbage mounts afford this journey except me?"
"I'm Debolo, this nightmare is chatter, it's so annoying!"
"It's a demonic language, isn't it?"
"The Nightmare of Wisdom has begun, this should be a high demon, right?"
Not many people around could understand the demonic language, but the Green Goblin's continuous pronunciation, and the deliberate suppression of the tone, was obviously a certain language, and it was difficult for everyone not to notice it.
"What are they talking about? Are they complimenting me?"
Seeing a lot of eyes on him, the Green Goblin quickly straightened his back, put on the most toned posture, and then asked Downton in a low voice.
"No, I want to learn human language, and I have to respect them if I reply to them immediately. ”
Before Downton could echo, the Green Goblin began to babble again, and shook his head.
The red mane is rippling, and it does have a bit of brilliance, but unfortunately it was all ruined by this muttering.
"Poof!"
The mediocre-looking girl with pure eyes laughed, but soon coughed again.
"Wow, her eyes are so beautiful, brighter than the most beautiful gem I've ever seen. The Green Goblin ran straight to the girl, "What's your name? My name is the Green Goblin, I'm from the Abyss, and I'm a pure-blooded fiery nightmare. ”
"My name is Twilight!"
The girl touched the back of the Green Goblin, and its eyes narrowed in comfort.
"People can't look good, she can actually understand the devil's language. ”
Homer praised, this is a very remote subject, if the girl named Twilight can speak elven, she is not curious, after all, it is a compulsory course for the profession of law.
Cindy, as a guide, had already contacted several small groups that were lonely, and they looked at Downton unscrupulously, and he looked back unceremoniously.
A pair of dwarf brothers, only one meter and two meters tall, look like two buckets, but who dares to underestimate them, absolutely don't know how to write the word "dead", they are wearing a light armor, carrying a battle box, which should be heavy armor, as for the weapon, it is a wheel axe with a radius of one meter, wielding it, it can split the large beast in two, and it can also be used as a shield.
"It should be five hundred pounds!"
Homer estimated an approximate weight, but dwarves are naturally strong and rich in warriors, and Downton is not surprised even with a thousand-pound weapon.
There were thirty-five minotaurs next to them, a piece of leather armor, carrying a totem pole one and a half meters long, looking at their intimacy, because they should be from the same orc tribe, the leader was obviously the chief, wearing expensive leather armor, and leading a Komodo war beast mount.
This monster is like a small mountain, five or six times larger than an adult rhinoceros, it is really visually stunning, and its combat effectiveness is not bad, and that thick layer of skin will not hurt even if it is attacked by a ballista head-on.
Sensing Downton's gaze, the minotaur chieftain's gaze glared back directly, orcs are like this, they are not good at hiding their emotions, probably because they feel offended, so they are very unfriendly.
"I'm Deboro, this one is definitely better than Barak. ”
Downton remembered the scene when he first met Barak, the master who didn't even dare to resist when the son of the mayor of Morningmist kicked his nose in the face.
"Look, acquaintance!"
Hu Tao poked Downton's waist and motioned for him to look behind the Minotaur, where there was a black-robed adventurer squatting, the same one Downton had seen in the secret realm and on the cruise ship.
This guy is unsociable, and his breath is even more gloomy, as if everyone owes him a lot of money, and occasionally when he looks up, there will be a sharp gaze crossing.
"Be careful, this guy isn't a good stubble. ”
can make Homer take the initiative to remind him that the danger of the black-robed man is obviously higher than that of the group of minotaurs.
Twilight's mount is a sick horse, thin, and ugly in some parts, but she doesn't care, and gently grabs a handful of beans from the horse's luggage and feeds them to the Green Goblin.
The Green Goblin tilted his head, "I'm a carnivore. ”
Twilight smiles and feeds the beans to the sick horse.
A combined caravan departed, which made the chief impatient and couldn't help but question in a rough voice.
"Who are we waiting for, and when are we leaving?"
"Sorry, they should be here soon. Cindy smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, in another half an hour, they won't come, let's go." (To be continued......)
