Chapter Forty-Three: The Five-Star Explorer Who Picks Up Leaks
Medea proved to be more difficult than Magellan, and some vendors even offered real magic items and fair prices, only to be rewarded with a smile on the witch's face and "no". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Convinced that the two men would not pay for it, they were overwhelmed by the crowds that came and went in the bazaar. This is true even for those who know that Magellan's name and Medea were witches.
This made Magellan start to think about what to buy. Like Medea, who has always been in high spirits, although Magellan seems to have been listless, in fact, he has not let go of every stall he passes, and picking up leaks is not only Magellan's interest, but also the only means of making ends meet.
The sun was sinking and torches were lit in the bazaar.
Although I didn't eat dinner, everyone here was still alive and well, and there was no intention of leaving.
The stars rose into the sky, and finally, Medea was satisfied and ready to leave.
The two of them had empty hands, and as many expected, Medea didn't seem to be disappointed to take advantage of the defeat, but Magellan didn't seem to be in high spirits.
The shrewd peddler began to lean towards the two of them with something reserved for young couples.
Magellan began to feel that it was time for a classic "real protagonist windfall".
Taking two pieces of wood strung together from a vendor and tossing him a coin, Magellan followed Medea out of the stall without slowing down.
The vendor, who thought he was lucky, frowned and smiled.
"How much effort do you think I put into getting that amulet?" he said, turning to show off to the vendors left and right, "Picked it up!"
In the distance, Medea curiously asks Magellan what it is, and the latter answers, "A precious ancient artifact of Aurelia, accompanied by the amulet of a shaman's life." ”
"You did it!" Medea really jumped up, laughing and holding up the amulet high, causing the people around her to look at her blankly.
"Let's see if we can use it to accomplish a certain task. Magellan gestured to the mission hall not far away.
"That's right, that's it, the protagonist will complete the most difficult one the first time he does the task and become the most powerful Samsung...... Ah no, five-star ...... Let's go, explorer!"
The witch's elation made Magellan laugh a little, but she was not wrong, the whole expedition frenzy had not been around for long, and there was not necessarily anything more precious than this amulet in this mission hall.
Unsurprisingly, when the amulet was identified by a scholar, a "high-rise" immediately appeared from the staircase leading to the second floor.
Magellan quietly played the role of his entourage, making Medea in the limelight, and in the end, the amulet was left here, and the two took away the badge of a "five-star explorer".
......
The good mood of the witch lasted for a long, long time, but she didn't have a chance to come again, and the next day, they left Athens with a group.
The experience in the bazaar was short, but Magellan was deeply impressed, it was a wave at the forefront of the tide of the times, marking a terrifying change on the horizon.
But at least in the Dionysian forest, none of this can affect Magellan, of course, if he can walk in smoothly.
The group set up camp at the bottom of a hillside at the edge of the forest.
"Any plans?"
It was rare for the Count not to put on a gloomy face, because there were only two people in the tent, he and Magellan, so Magellan could only look at the Count's strange flaws, crying and laughing.
"Not yet. ”
"What did the goddess tell you?"
"Dionysian altar outside Athens, there is everything you want. ”
"That's it?"
That's it, all. ”
The Count of Monte Cristo shook his head, making no secret of his disappointment: "What did the Witch say?"
"It's easy for her to get in, but we can't. ”
"So it's really like that...... Mysterious Place?"
Magellan nodded slowly: "Not exactly...... In a word...... Yes. ”
"I'll ask the players to be patient and rest assured that they won't be impatient this time. ”
The Count nodded to Magellan, turned his face back to a gloomy one, and walked out of the tent.
Magellan, who remained in the tent, also had a gloomy face, because the forest was indeed a difficult place to enter.
At least until the annual Dionysian festival in Athens, the forest was accessible to everyone. Not only at the crazy festival of Dionysus, at any time, devotees come here to speak drunk words to their gods. But after that, it became a forbidden place, where Dionysian fanatics got drunk every day and night, and anything that strayed into it was torn to shreds.
Previously, the altar of Dionysus was full of farce, but at that juncture, Magellan was almost sure that after Athena had hit the node of Dionysus, only tragedy remained on the altar. People prayed to the mad god for a miracle, but he told the beggar with absolute sanity that there was only a cold reality in this world.
Almost no one could understand how the forest kept out those who wanted to enter, and legend has it that only people as crazy as Dionysus would give way to the forest so that he could join in the revelry.
And Magellan, sober-minded, absolutely san.
That's where the trouble lies.
Bacchus, as everyone thought he was, ruled over the power of madness and psychedelia.
Possessing the largest number of fanatics and witch priests of ancient Theros, the mostly drunken god was Athena's suitor and most dangerous enemy.
There may be a mystery hidden in this, especially since Athena hid the key to open the temple in the forest.
Magellan recalled all the clues he could think of, including the slightest hint of expression on Athena's face when she mentioned Dionysus.
And just like that, time passed......
......
One fine morning, Magellan walked out of the tent with a bottle of good wine.
It was dry and hot down the hillside, and several team members swallowed involuntarily.
Among them were the old sailors who had been with Edward for a long time, and the tall sailors of Francie, who were strong and powerful, and like all those who begged for a living at sea, they loved to drink.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the team selected by Magellan was patient, but at least for now, the patience of a few of them is running out.
"Come here, it's you, if you want to drink, come here. ”
Several members of the team walked up to Magellan and focused their eyes on the bottle.
"This bottle of wine is for you to drink, and when a person is drunk, he will replace it with another one. ”
