Hodge was stunned for a moment, then reacted. During the journey with the Tunluo merchant group, the merchant group provided her with a lot of medicinal herbs for casual use, plus occasional picking along the way, in addition to treating the members of the merchant group, she would also boil some herbal reagents in her spare time when she was stationed and resting.

Devonne's level of herbalism was quite advanced, and according to Hodge's observations these days, it was at least a "specialized" level, and although he had not even seen a "mid-level" herbalist before, this did not prevent him from making a rough judgment from reading the manuscript records.

Even though the potions made by her hand are limited by the ordinary nature of the materials and the simplicity of the tools, they are still quite a bit higher than the ordinary level of the potions, which can make the potions more effective and take effect faster.

By "invalid", Daphne does not mean that the potion has lost its effect, but that the time to maximize the effectiveness of the potion will be missed, and the expired potion will be somewhat reduced in potency, but in fact, most of the potions sold in the herb store are in stock, and they have long been in a state of failure, so it does not affect their value.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to recognize the pros and cons of potions before using them, but the owner of a herb shop in a big city would not even have the eye for this, and after Daphne took out the bottles and jars of various potions, she quickly gave a fair price.

Three gold coins and sixteen silver coins are enough for an ordinary peasant family to live for three years, even in a big city like Stone Castle, where they can spend months in peace and security.

This is a good way to make money, Hodge thought, but suddenly it occurred to him that a foreigner with a high level of herbology suddenly came to a densely populated city like Stone Castle, which would inevitably attract the attention of others, and if someone followed the investigation, it was likely to discover the secret of the three of them.

"You didn't sell those high-grade potions, did you?" his face grew serious, the higher the level of the potions sold, the easier it was to attract unwanted attention, "Be careful not to be found out." ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured. Devany blinked her right eye like a girl, spun in place and said, "And you see, I'm so tightly wrapped, how can I be so easily recognized?"

Hodge sighed, reached out and ran Daphne's exposed red hair back into the hood, muttering, "You'll have to tie your hair up, fiery red hair isn't very common, as long as your hair is exposed, it's useless to wrap it tightly." ”

......

The sailors of the harbor pier gathered on the bow deck and on the nearby pier, for whom the ship was home, and slept in the boat even when they were not sailing, and occasionally went to the nearby tavern for a few cheap tempers, but they could not afford to stay in a hotel, and instead of staying in a hotel, they would go to the Red Street in the west of the city, where they could at least sleep with the girl in their arms, and the price was not much more expensive than staying in a hotel.

They were chatting in small and small groups, occasionally looking up at the heading flag, but no one cared about the surface of the sea, after all, the direction of the currents in this area of water is almost fixed, except for the occasional change of seasons.

So no one noticed, the calm sea began to change, and the near shore began to ripple in circles, and then the bubbles quietly floated to the surface, and if you looked down from the air, you could see a shadow gradually rising.

Goo-goo-goo......

The sound of the bubbles grew faster and faster as the shadows approached, and the nearby sailors and patrolling soldiers were startled by the sound and turned their heads to look at the anomalous surface of the sea.

A few brave sailors glanced at each other and quietly approached the dock on the surface, and the most athletic of them even stretched half of his body into the water, trying to get a clear picture of what was beneath the surface.

But just as he was about to plunge into the water, he suddenly heard an almost violent roar in his ears, which pierced his eardrums, and then the fierce white waves churned, and the huge creature jumped out of the water.

Before the sailor could react, he felt that his body suddenly became lighter, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and he almost lost feeling the presence of his body, and his vision began to rotate rapidly, and in the last moments of consciousness, he saw the irrepressible shock and fear on the faces of his companions.

It's - what's wrong?

His vision dimmed, and his consciousness faded away.

The sailors who were traveling at the dock witnessed this scene with cold hands and feet, and even lost the courage to escape, and felt that it was extremely difficult to just stand.

The monster that jumped out of the water took the body of the sailor who went down to the sea in its mouth and volleyed over it, smashing its entire body on the dock with a snap, and if it weren't for the solid stone of the Stone Fort Harbour Dock, perhaps the weight of the monster's fall alone would have destroyed the dock.

It sucked the sailor's corpse into its mouth, the sharp teeth rubbed for a moment, the blood foamed out from between the teeth, the monster's mouth suddenly opened, and spit out a bulging thing, and the sailor who was still alive looked over with trepidation, and was shocked to find that it was actually the head of his companion, and at this time the skull had been broken a slit, but that's all, the rest was intact.

Monsters don't seem to like the smell.

Not only the sailors, but even the two Stone Fort guards on patrol were shocked by the monster's appearance, its huge body was almost comparable to the stone house in the harbor, with two raised horns on the top of its head, huge eyes that seemed to burn with flames, and its body was like a crocodile, but it was even larger, its skin was rough black, and countless pimples condensed on its body.

This is no ordinary aquatic creature!

"Warcraft?" A soldier's face turned white, if this monster was really a Warcraft, he and his companions alone would not have the slightest chance of winning.

"Hurry up and inform Lord Thorthy, I'll contain it!" he beckoned to his companion, who snatched a horse parked in the harbor and quickly left, he took out his crossbow and arrows, loaded them with the power of the machine, aimed at the monster in the distance, and slammed the trigger.

The lethality of the crossbow arrows far exceeded that of the bows and arrows shot by ordinary Hercules, and the crossbow arrows burst into the air with a burst of sounds, hitting the monster's left front hoof, and the rough skin only made the crossbow arrows stop on the surface for a moment, and then they were carried into the monster's skin with the huge backbone of the arrow.

The pain of the wound caused the monster to roar again, and before the three sailors closest to it could cover their ears, the sound waves had pierced their eardrums, and red blood flowed from their ears.

The monster jerked its head to look at the soldier who was about to fire a second bolt, and roared and jumped forward to pounce on him.

The soldier's palms were dripping with sweat, and the appearance of the crossbow arrow was an epoch-making product in the history of warfare, and its great lethality made it an incomparable ultimate weapon, but at the same time it also had a fatal flaw, that is, the speed of winding was too slow to be wound by human power like a bow and arrow.

The monster was much faster than he had imagined, and in a few ups and downs it was almost in front of him, and it was obvious that he could not shoot a second crossbow arrow, so he simply threw away his crossbow and ran into the street.

But he didn't take a few steps before his body involuntarily lifted off the ground, and he turned his head in horror to see that he was between the monster's teeth, and before he could react, the monster bit gently.

Blood gushes like a gushing water, and the slabs of stone poured out the harbor are everywhere.
