Chapter Twenty-Five: Hogg Manor

Wang Cuo followed Al quietly downstairs, and it was just dawn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking out the door, Al finally relaxed. "It's finally out!" looked relieved.

"Didn't you tell your family?" said the king.

"They don't know what they're doing anyway. I...... Let's just go quietly. Al muttered, then smiled at the king.

"It's okay, your task today is only responsible for picking up things, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

What danger can a public mission have. Wang Cuo, who has been walking from danger and the brink of death, doesn't care too much about this mission, anyway, it's just fighting, running if you can't beat, grabbing if you can't run, pulling the back, pit the team......

Al walked out of the residential area with Wang Cuo, and walked along the path between the cracks of the buildings, which, in Al's words, was empty and would not waste time.

"In front of it is Uncle Milan's shop, who specializes in horseshoe nails and saddles, but also has a horse farm of his own, so we went to ask if there was a carriage. Al said, pointing ahead.

In front of the two of them, on the edge of the river around the city, there was a blacksmith shop emitting thick white smoke, the boilers were all set outside, and a pipe was connected directly to the river. The white smoke is produced by the river water being poured into the furnace.

"Uncle Milan!" Al shouted from afar.

Behind the boiler, a naked man poked his head out.

"Al, why are you here?"

Almost bareheaded, dark, he took a towel from the door behind him. Wipe off the sweat all over your body!

A smell of rust!

"We want to rent a carriage, this big brother is going to Hogg Manor. Al pointed to the king behind him, but did not say anything about himself.

"Hogg Manor!" the blacksmith looked at Wang Cuo, "Mr. Mage, I'm so sorry. My carriages have all been rented, and there are no free carriages at the moment. ”

"No!" said Al, hurrying.

"Well, I don't know why the people of the cathedral had a large number of carriages in the city a few days ago, and they gave a lot of prices, so I rented them out. The blacksmith spread his hand and said he couldn't help it.

"What then, there is no carriage, we have to walk all day to get to Hogg Manor. ”

"Can you think of another way? You can pay some more. "Wang Cuo is also unwilling, maybe he can use black mist and flickering, but Xiao Ai can't.

The blacksmith waved his hand.

"It's not about the money!it's just about ......"

"Uncle Milan, help us!" begged little El.

The blacksmith frowned, trying to decide what he was doing. "If it were only for a few days, I would have two horses here, and a friend from a suburban town sent me this horseshoe the other day, and it was ready. I'm going to take it away in a few days, so I can lend it to you, right in the backyard. ”

"Great, thank you. Uncle Milan!"

Before the blacksmith could finish speaking, Al jumped up and kissed him on the face, ignoring the sweat on the other man's face.

......

Thanks to Al's connections, the two borrowed two horses and didn't spend any money, which saved them a lot of money.

Wang Cuo is not very good at riding, and Al is too young to grasp even if he can ride, and the two of them have not been fast on their feet, and along the way, countless carriages and teams have overtaken them, and some are also in a hurry to come back.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Wang Kuo could see the bloody scenes inside the carriage, and occasionally he could hear screams.

Whenever this kind of car passed by, Xiao Al would consciously get close to Wang Cuo's side......

"It's scary, isn't it? To be a true adventurer, you will inevitably encounter dangers, and some dangers are fatal, and if you are not careful, you may never have a chance to come back. "Al is still a child, but he also needs to know the dangers of the outside world. If you're not prepared, you could be taking the wrong step...... It's a dead end.

Didn't you get ready for it!

I often heard my uncles say that a boy must have a dream, not live a mediocre life, so since I was a child, I became an adventurer like a swordsman, and went to many places. Despite his young age, little Al spoke with firmness.

Wang Cuo will not evaluate whether a person with a dream is good or bad, no matter what age who has not dreamed. In Xiao Al's body, Wang Cuo seems to see his original self, insists on his dreams, keeps working hard, and finally has a good 'identity', but after entering the society, things are unpredictable...... But if I didn't have this dream, would I be better off than I am now?

He opened the task list, which had been given to him by the girl in the Adventurer's Hall, with the detailed map and the criteria to be completed. To facilitate being forgotten in the busy green.

Map...... Wang Cuo couldn't understand it anyway. Many of the place names are unknown...... But the mission description is interesting!

About half a month ago, Hogg Manor was attacked suddenly, and tens of thousands of giant crypt worms suddenly poured out from all directions, destroying the entire manor. The dealer, the horse, and our family...... They are endless...... No matter how hard we fight, we can't wipe them out, and the giant worms in the crypt are getting stronger and stronger.

We implore adventurers to work together to eradicate these pesky moths!

The quest content is more like a letter!

"Al, have you been to Hogg Manor?" Wang Cuo didn't know the route, and relied on the carriage back and forth to confirm whether he was going in the right direction all the way.

"It's the path, it should be right. My mom took me there once when I was very young. It was built by the first lord of the castle for his family. Al thought about it.

However, after continuing to walk for a while, Wang Cuo believed that he must be in the right direction.

"What's that!!" Al looked into the distance...... on the bare mountains. A black wriggling ...... Dense......

The line of sight is still far away, and I can't see what it is, only caterpillar-like creatures.

Hiss~ I can see that Wang Cuo's scalp is numb.

"Crypt Bugs! It's the first time I've seen so many Crypt Bugs!"

Like the two of them, the other wagon procession also discovered this 'spectacular' scene.

"Oh my God, all the gods are above, what the hell is going on!"

"It's incredible, it's like a plague of insects!"

As we approached Hogg Manor, clothes and furniture were littered on both sides of the road, apparently too busy fleeing civilians to take them.

Al has been walking side by side by the king......

The air was filled with the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of feces and decay, and so many crypt bugs had already eaten up everything that could be eaten in the manor. I can't see any green. Cattle and sheep were gnawed down to the bone!

In front of them stood a ruined fortress.

"That's the manor!" said Al beside him. But there is still a manor, which looks like a remnant of the wall after the war.

There were a lot of people gathered under the fortress, and there were probably hundreds of people at a glance.

One of them is particularly evident among all...... The uniform is made up of young men and women. It was also accompanied by several tall carriages.

"What kind of adventurer team is that?" asked Wang.

Little Al shook his head.

"That's not a team of adventurers, it's an elite team organized by City Academy to help...... Alas, what a group of little babies who don't know the height of the sky. Someone from the nearby convoy replied.

City College?

If you look closely, there is one of the carriages engraved with a huge purple gold pattern.
