"Cheers!" the three horned cups clashed together, and the fragrant foam of the ale wine flew in all directions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Dwarf Sock, "Crazy Rat" Green and Zhao Mai sat around the table in the tavern, and the joy of the reunion was overflowing.

"I'm so glad to see you, I thought you were stuck in the Farmer's Forest, and you couldn't get out!" Green burped hard, punched his fist on the chest, and laughed twice: "Okay, now I'm finally sure you're okay, that's the biggest joy of all." Although we haven't been together for a long time, we've had a very awkward life without you for a few months, isn't it?"

"I didn't feel too much, I spent all day by the fire, and I was very fulfilled. The dwarf was still very upright, and with one hand he lifted the barrel to fill everyone with a corner glass.

"Ha, he's like this, always living a very pure life, throwing a whole bunch of things at me. Green shoved a piece of ham into his mouth and asked vaguely, "What have you been doing all these months?" I thought I would always hear something about the musketeers, but nothing happened. ”

Zhao Mai waved his hand, "I didn't do anything, I just looked at the scenery, and there was nothing to say." Let's talk about what you've done. ”

"That's good!" Green swallowed the contents of his mouth in two bites, and seemed to be ready to say something. "With the money you left behind, the two of us bought a blacksmith shop, transformed it into a small alchemy workshop, and got to work. Sock is in charge of making things, and I'm in charge of purchasing, management, and so on. Originally, I proposed to make one or two muskets and sell them, so that I could earn my money back as soon as possible, but the dwarves were unwilling. Later, we discussed for a long time, and there was a fight in the middle, but still no one was convinced. No, I'm waiting for you to come back and judge it. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Maileng paused, then turned his head to look at the dwarf: "Soke, Green wants to sell guns in order to make money." Why don't you want to sell guns, can you give me a reason?"

"I feel like I still have a lot of things I haven't figured out, and I always feel that there will be an important breakthrough soon, but I keep stuck in my throat, and I just can't get out. The dwarf shook his head: "I'm a little restless now, I just want to study and study, and I really don't want to do repetitive craftsman work to earn money. ”

"Well, I can understand this, as a researcher and a craftsman, I am really busy. Zhao Mai nodded, "Green, how is the other business I taught you?"

"It's a good thing to have that, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to sustain even the daily expenses of the blacksmith's shop. Green lowered his voice and said, "But recently, I have noticed that something is wrong, and it seems that rumors about the elven alchemy salt are spreading. For safety, it hasn't been shipped for a long time, which is why the blacksmith needs to feed itself. ”

"Well, I see. Zhao Mai stretched out his arms, hugged the shoulders of the two people at the same time, and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this." Research or making money, there is always a way to balance both. Let's not talk about this today, let's get together first!"

"Okay, but I can't get drunk. "The dwarf Sok was still bare, and after the siege, for some reason, he became bald. "I'm going to build some parts and improve the ignition at night, so I can't play late with you. ”

"He's like that, don't take it personally. Green comforted Zhao Mai and said.

While eating, several people chatted about the recent situation in Nebo Town. The last time the city was besieged, although it ended in the victory of the town of Nainami, it also exposed the weakness of the town. This is not a problem that can be solved by building more walls and more defense towers, but it requires a stronger security mechanism. It was found that relying solely on the loose organization of the guild could save a lot of manpower in normal times and solve various problems efficiently, but it was not possible to be tough in times of emergency. Bounties can only be used as auxiliaries, and obedience to orders is the foundation of the army's combat effectiveness. In normal times, it is tolerable to be less efficient, because after all, no one will die; in a critical moment, it is a major matter that is vital to life and death. The town's elders gathered to revise some of the guild's policies and set aside a portion of their shares to create a permanent army.

No one knows exactly how to do it, but I believe that it will be announced before the first snow of winter. Since it is not known whether the new policy is good or bad for the current adventurers, most adventurers hurry up to complete the task at hand and get the various rewards as soon as possible. The town of Nebo is always very busy, and the adventurers who come in and out are like pine trees in the forest, busy everywhere, collecting food for the winter.

Nebo repelled the attack of Ramashtu, the mother of monsters and the god of nightmares, but the Farmer's Forest was unable to resist it. It's now a monster forest, populated by all sorts of strange monsters that no one can tell, and it's growing in size day by day. The connection between the South and the Departed community was completely severe, and no one knew about the Druids, so most of the townspeople were pessimistic.

Various monsters use the woods as a base and continue to threaten the surrounding villages, and on several occasions monsters have even stormed the castle. Wolf's Ears was almost gone, and only a small group of people held out, turning it into a forward base for adventurers. The Barony of Corduria, a little further south, under the protection of Baron Pides, became a solid fortress to stop the monsters from moving south. On the plains, monsters are no match for humans with battle formations, but humans also don't have the ability to go deep into the forest to eradicate monsters. The overwhelmed Baron offered a good bounty, and the number of monsters in the Farmer's Forest does not seem to be decreasing, so this direction has attracted a large number of adventurers, fighting on the front line of slaying demons for the sake of gold and the well-being of the people of the world.

"Actually, I think this is the best time to sell muskets. Green's face turned red, and he couldn't help but say: "The price of crossbows and bows has increased before, and now the prices of almost all weapons have increased, and alchemy materials also have this trend." He doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and if he only goes in and can't get out, he will give a mountain of gold, and sooner or later it will be spent. ”

The dwarf Sock burps and seems to feel like he can't drink anymore. He suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Mai: "Mentor Mike, I'll go back now and finish the business at hand, and I can listen to your teachings tomorrow." You're well fed and well-fed, and you've got a good rest, and Green has arranged it for you, and I don't know exactly how it is. ”

"Okay, you go, I'll play a little longer. ”

The dwarf shook his head and walked towards the gate, and just as he pushed the door, Hazel, the female paladin of the goddess Iomed, walked in, and her long legs immediately attracted Zhao Mai's attention.

The volume of the tavern suddenly dropped by twenty decibels, and most of his eyes were drawn to the female paladin. Hazel seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, looked around in a friendly and polite manner, and then walked straight towards Zhao Mai.

Green covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Beautiful women will deceive people, be careful of being deceived, it's best not to agree to anything." ”
