Chapter 2 Employment

As a town rich in game and medicinal herbs, Linshan Town has its own railway station.

After all, many medicinal herbs and game have to be specially treated before they can be stored for a long time.

Linshan Town obviously does not have such conditions, so a means of rapid transportation has become a must.

Therefore, Linshan Town has become one of the few towns with a railway station.

Although there is only one train in the morning and one in the evening, it is still something to brag about for the residents of Linshan Town.

However, there are some small cities that are located in the middle of nowhere and the geographical location is not very important and do not have a train station.

At 8:30 a.m., a black train with black smoke came slowly from a distance.

The brakes caused the wheels to rub against the track violently, and the screeching sound caused some people to cover their ears.

The door opened, and in addition to some merchants who were buying game and medicinal herbs, a very different group of people arrived.

They were four men and one woman, three of whom were middle-aged men in armor and armed with weapons.

The other man and woman were each dressed in perfectly fitting white robes, without a trace of dirt from the smoke of the train.

Among these five people, which young man in a robe is the main one.

His curly blond hair was scattered behind his head, and his facial features were three-dimensional, like the most beautiful sculpture, but with a lot more life.

The deep brown eyes looked at the nervous passengers and pedestrians in the train station, and showed a warm smile.

"I'm sorry for the interruption, but may the Lord of Billions of Radiances protect you and forgive your original sins. ”

Nodding slightly, the blonde man walked out of the train station with the other four.

During this time, the blonde man whispered to the woman beside him whose eyes were full of admiration, "Ailian, where is the snake demon?"

Listening to the blonde man's words, the young woman named Ai Lian closed her eyes slightly.

At this moment, the symbol of a white eye appeared in the center of Ailian's eyebrows, emitting a faint white light.

After three or four breaths, Ai Lian opened her eyes a little tiredly and said softly, "Lord Lancer, the snake demon is in the southwest direction.

I can't figure out the details of the distance now, but it's about fifty miles.

According to the environment around Linshan Town, the snake demon is hidden in the snake's back mountain on the edge of Linshan Town. ”

Jian frowned slightly, and Lancer said with some uncertainty: "Snakeback Mountain, I don't believe there is such a coincidence.

The snake demon is the best at using poisonous snakes and demons in witchcraft, and in places where there are a large number of snakes, his strength will be greatly improved.

The snake demon was able to stay in this snake's back mountain, obviously ready for a decisive battle with us. ”

At this point, Lancer was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "We need two people who are familiar with Snakeback Mountain.

We don't need useless guides, we need hunters with a certain amount of combat effectiveness and are familiar with the dangers of Snakeback Mountain.

Dylan, you go to the mayor and let the mayor of this mountain town take you to the best hunter here.

Casa, you go to buy something that can be used, the key is the medicine for snake venom.

Flor, you and Elaine will come with me to find a hotel to settle down.

In the face of a high-level wizard apprentice, we can't be careless, adequate preparation is a necessary element for victory. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The four of them answered, and went their separate ways, doing what Lancer had said.

The stocky bearded Dylan and the tall, burly Casa left the group, respectively.

Therland took the well-proportioned, human-like Flor and Elaine towards the nearby inn.

Five hundred million clergy of the Lord of Radiance came to Linshan Town, and the news quickly spread throughout this Linshan Town.

Even the various estates around Linshan Town were moved.

However, the commotion was only among the higher-ups in and around Linshan Town.

Because there is no church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances in the castle.

Therefore, the people are only in a state of shallow belief in the Lord of Billions of Radiance.

Therefore, among the common people, the clergy of the five billions of Radiance Lord came to Linshan City, and it was at most a talking point.

Meanwhile, Al, who is in the Howard Library, but is actually a small bookstore, doesn't know any of this.

He just quietly looked at the books in his hand, textbooks from the graduating students of Solangjoya University.

This book is about surgery, and because of the complexity of knowledge, the thickness and weight of this book are very large.

But even so, Al had read nearly a tenth of the pages in a short period of time.

This kind of reading is not a superficial read, but a complete memorization in the mind.

Because Al is in a state of [Concentration], Al at this time is fully capable of the ability to never forget!

Now he memorizes the book, and when he goes back, he understands it carefully, and then digests it into his own.

This is the biggest reliance for El to be admitted to Solangjoya University, the largest and most authoritative university in the Holy Sword Empire.

It is also the reason why he has been in the Howard Library, spending a silver coin, to borrow the books collected by Howard Sr.

This also makes Al have a lot of knowledge in his mind at this time.

Although because the books found by Howard Sr. were not systematic, most of them were scattered and massive.

But knowledge is not wasted, let alone knowledge that El remembers in his mind forever.

Sooner or later, El will benefit greatly from this knowledge that seems useless for the time being.

Closing the book in his hand, Al relieved the use of the [Concentration] state, and closed his eyes to relieve the fatigue caused by long-term eye use.

There are such things as glasses in this world, but their style and accuracy are very poor.

Al didn't want to become a nearsighted, which would be fatal to a hunter.

Relieving the fatigue of his eyes, Al stood up and began to sort through the books scattered around the small warehouse.

Howard Sr. had a very bad habit of messing up the warehouse when looking for things.

So every once in a while, Al would help old Howard tidy up the little warehouse.

And this is also the time when old Howard was able to book and knowledge ridiculously expensive.

The reason why he promised Al to borrow all the books in his warehouse at a low price of one silver coin.

As for the price of this one silver coin, it is naturally cheap for books and knowledge.

But it was able to allow Al to buy the price of necessities for three or four days, so for Eyre, this is a high price.

At the very least, Al would have to hunt a wild deer and get the full fur to be able to save the price.

After tidying up for nearly an hour, Al reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead as he picked up his bow and arrows and walked out of the small warehouse.

However, as soon as Al walked out of the small warehouse, he immediately felt a feeling as if he was being targeted by a forest storming bear.

Without hesitation, he drew an arrow and put it on the hunting bow, pulling the bowstring into a full moon.

But just as Al was about to let go of the arrow, he suddenly realized that his target was a person!

The man was a little short, a little shorter than the sixteen-year-old Al, who was now sixteen.

However, his figure is unusually burly, and he can be said to be like a humanoid beast.

As for the tightrope-like beard on his face, it made him look fierce.

made him, who already looked intimidating, even more invisible.

Looking at Al, the man nodded slightly and said, "Although he is not very old, he has a keen sense and a good reaction speed.

It seems that the mayor has not deceived me, you are indeed one of the most powerful hunters in this mountain town.

In that case, come with me, and we'll hire you to take us into the Snakeback Mountain.

If there are any conditions you can propose, as long as it is reasonable, I can promise you on behalf of the Church of the Lord of Radiance. ”

Originally, when Al heard that he was going to enter Snakeback Mountain, he wanted to refuse.

But when he heard the name of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance, he knew that he might not be able to refuse.

If it is said that in the Holy Sword Empire, the royal family and magnates of the empire can still be offended.

Then the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances is an object that must not be offended.

Otherwise, there is a high chance that they will be arrested the day after they are offended, on charges of studying witchcraft or colluding with the darkness.

As for the result after being captured, the best thing is to pay enough and escape with your life.

But basically, anyone who is taken away will end up being burned at the stake except for dying of illness in the black prison of the Holy See.

Al looked at the man with a serious face, but there was a faint look in his eyes that could not be disobeyed, and finally nodded.

Seeing that Al had promised him, the man nodded with some satisfaction, and then said, "My name is Dylan!"

It's a high-ranking knight of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance, so come with me now, your lord is still waiting for us in his residence. ”

After that, Dylan was the first to leave the small bookstore.

Seeing this, Al had no choice but to follow Dylan outside.

Passing by Howard Sr. who was standing in the doorway, Al smiled at Howard Sr. with a worried look on his face.

"Old Howard, don't worry, I'll be back, I haven't finished that book yet. ”

With that, Al walked out of the small bookstore of Old Howard.

However, just then, Al suddenly heard the shouts of old Howard behind him.

"Al, catch it!"

Subconsciously turned around and caught what old Howard threw him.

Looking down, it turned out to be the Solangjoya University textbook that Al had just read.

Slightly stunned, Al immediately looked up at Old Howard and said, "Old Howard, ...... this?"

"Cut, I can't sell this thing anyway, so I'll take it with you.

But you have to remember that you must come back and give it back to me personally.

Otherwise, I'll double your money in the future!"

Listening to old Howard's words, Al's heart warmed, and his eyes were slightly astringent.

Nodding vigorously, Al shook his arm and left with Dylan without looking back.

Howard Sr. was left alone at the door of the small bookstore, looking at Al worriedly.

Maybe the other townspeople don't know, but old Howard, a little bookstore owner with some knowledge, does.

What can be treated so carefully by the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances must be fraught with danger.

Moreover, the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances is, in some ways, itself a danger.

Old Howard knew very well that Al's trip would definitely be a life of death!
