Chapter 56: The Cold-Faced Ghost
"Schalke, your letter, come and get it. "www.biquge.infoLady Bazaar, this is your son's letter, and there is another one, I won't say who it is." But for the sake of his deep affection, don't ...... Forget it, burn it, burn it, out of sight and out of mind. ”
It was only then that Marlowe felt like an important person, and these powerful druids were willing to wait for him with anticipation in their eyes. Only one young man seemed unmoved, his eyes constantly scanning the cargo in the car. Judging by his outfit, he should be a druid apprentice. The last time I left here, I heard that there would be a few students from other communities, and this is probably one of them.
There is definitely no copy of Zhao Mai in these letters. He had come on Joseph's claws, and the mule cart was already halfway there. Even if Grimm "Mad" or the dwarf Sock has something to do with him, he will have to wait for the next convoy. Zhao Mai was looking at the equipment on the car, the leather armor on his body was a little old, and he might be able to find good goods from here.
However, after looking at everything, he was a little disappointed, the commodity trade in this world is far less developed than on the earth, and good things are not on the shelves for anyone to choose. Truly exquisite armor and weapons can only be obtained by going to order from a skilled craftsman. Just like his musket "Megalodon", it can only be obtained by manual production.
Druids had to train not only in spells, but also in martial arts, and learn about flora and fauna. Even apprentices have to follow the druid teacher to the depths of the forest, so that they can survive in a completely natural environment. The musket in Zhao Mai's hand was incredibly powerful, but it only had thirty bullets, so it couldn't be used against the beasts, right? Those druid apprentices had already learned how to communicate with the beasts, but they had no foundation themselves.
There are still no crossbows, and it seems that the ban in Nebo Town has been in place for a while, and maybe several surrounding towns will also be affected. Just as he was about to turn to leave, he heard the merchant Marlowe shout, "Master Duncan, here is your letter." ”
When did he come back? Zhao Mai followed the sound and finally met his "main quest NPC", Master Duncan. This is a rather majestic master, under the thick and dense sword eyebrows, a pair of brown eyes are like eagle eyes, which makes Zhao Mai constantly feel weak. Judging by the wrinkles on his face and the loose skin, Master Duncan must have been about sixty or seventy years old, but his back was straight, his arms were swift and strong, and he stretched out two fingers to grip the letter like a pliper, and withdrew it from Marlowe's hand.
"Master, please wait a moment, I don't know if the potion that Baron Pides commissioned you to make last time is already ready. Marlowe asked respectfully, rubbing his hands together and bending over.
"Well, if you don't say it, I almost forgot. Master Duncan took out a small blue cloth bag from his sleeve, about the size of a hand, and tied it tightly with a red ribbon. He ran his fingers around the ribbon twice, and the bag untied itself.
Suddenly, the fate gold coin on Zhao Mai's chest began to heat up, and the direction of the vibration was this bag. Zhao Mai remained silent, the expression on his face did not even tremble a little, and he still looked at Master Duncan with curious eyes.
He reached in and pulled out a pale apricot yellow translucent potion from his bag, then retied the strap and the vibration of the Destiny Gold Coin disappeared. The flask that Master Duncan took out looked a little larger than the bag, so there was only one possibility: the small pouch was the famous Spatial Bag, which was able to isolate the perception of the Destiny Gold Coins.
Zhao Mai hurriedly followed, this was a good opportunity to get to know Master Duncan. "Hello Master Duncan, I'm Mike, a recent Druid apprentice, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Duncan glanced at Zhao Mai, made a "hmm" in his nose, and continued to walk forward.
"Master, my father is sick with illness, and perhaps the Elixir of Disease will heal his body. I take the liberty of begging you to give me a potion of disease. If there's anything I need to do, please ask. ”
The druid shook his head, flicked his sleeves slightly, and walked past Zhao Mai. Zhao Mai gritted his teeth, he couldn't just give up, so he chased after him in three or two steps: "Master, you are a recognized master in pharmacy, and the disease exorcism potion is a positive buff-type spell potion, and it will not be used to do bad things." Please help me, I can't bear to see my father suffer under the torture of illness. ”
As if he hadn't heard, Master Duncan bypassed Zhao Mai again. He stood under a tree and put his hand on it. Only to hear a soft pop, the druid disappeared from Zhao Mai's eyes.
"Lin Mu Dun!?" Zhao Mai gritted his teeth angrily, but he could only helplessly clench his fists and hammer at the trees. Druids are human beings, too, and despite their neutrality, they still have a variety of temperaments. Master Duncan may be just that kind of person who is cold and unforgiving, like frost and snowstorms in nature, which is also part of the balance of nature.
But will Zhao Mai give up? Of course it can't be. I couldn't get any clues from Duncan, wasn't there still a merchant Marlowe? Seeing that he had finished distributing the letter, Zhao Mai went up to talk.
"Oh, young apprentice, is there anything you need?" Marlowe, who was familiar with life in the druid community, immediately began to recommend what might be needed during the apprenticeship. Moisture-proof and waterproof pouches, mosquito nets to avoid mosquito bites, powders to hide body odors.
Zhao Mai's mind was not on these things, he just briefly asked a few words and then changed the topic: "I just came here, and I tried to ask Master Duncan for a potion but failed. Can you inquire how Baron Pides got the master to make a potion for him?"
"You're really stumping me. Marlowe said: "That's all I know, but what they say to each other is not something I know. However, Master Duncan's daughter worked as a tax collector under the baron, maybe that's one of the reasons?"
"I don't know where the baron is?"
"Wolf's Ear Town. Haven't you been? It's at the northernmost end of Ash Lake, near the mouth of the Oily River. Marlowe smiled and said to Zhao Mai: "But I suggest that you don't have to go to Wolf Ear Town. You are now a druid apprentice, within this community. If even such a close relationship can't solve the problem, then it is impossible for you to go to Wolf Ears Town to solve the problem. ”
"However, I was really anxious. Zhao Mai scratched his scalp and sighed: "But thank you, I'll think of a way." ”
Marlowe pinched his chin, rolled his eyes twice, and said to Zhao Mai: "You are now an apprentice, which is actually an advantage. I remember that in the community there would be tasks issued by mentors and handed over to apprentices to complete. Maybe there will be a quest from Master Duncan, and if you can complete it, you might be able to talk to him and ask for it again. ”
"I don't even know about it. Zhao Mai hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the release task is?"
"Well, like, it's under the only maple tree in the community. ”
Zhao Mai turned his head and ran over.
