Cheese is really not afraid of fire, of course, there are some limitations, if the gas ignites a high-temperature flame or even explodes, the gray robe will still be killed like a normal creature. But if you use the traditional method of burning at the stake, tying up the cheese and lighting a firewood at his feet to burn him, the end result is likely to be a little gray on the mage's face after the fire is extinguished. Of course, the temperature of the flame that can be ignited by firewood is not as good as that of gas, and it seems that it is impossible to survive if you put people in the fire to roast, but compared to the real sea of fire, there are still many factors that can be used by mages.

There is a joke among witches. Humans often suspect that certain women are witches and arrest them and burn them at the stake. The subtle thing is that when these innocent or sinful women are actually burned to death, they rejoice, thinking that this protects more people from the filth. But if the women hadn't been burned to death and had been at ease on the embers, those who had captured her would never have accused her of being a witch again, and though in most cases, such people were witches, they would never have dared to say anything more. Some witch groups will hold fire rituals when their members reach a certain age, which also has a mocking connotation.

The enraged lumberjack still didn't put Cheese at the stake in the end, mainly because the town's blacksmith mentioned the two prairie horses that Kenqi and the others had brought with them yesterday. Horses on the grasslands are extremely difficult to obtain, and unless they can win the friendship of the herdsmen, few horses are sold as commodities, and as for taming wild horses, it is even more difficult to reach the sky. Because of this, the price of prairie horses is extremely high, and the number is very small, coupled with the fact that the two horses have not nailed a farrier before, it is enough to prove that the cheese is indeed from the grassland, which has become a proof of their innocence. After all, if it was just for money, the gold and silver that these two horses could exchange for in the Rushing City was probably no less than the commission that the town could give, and it was estimated that there would not be too many people who would come to the festival with such a huge amount of money.

The Ivy, which had been silent for many days, was alive again, though it wasn't quite what Emma had expected. Bunyan, as a master worker, sat opposite the cheese, his thick palms like a fan. Kenqi and Atta stood one step behind Cheese, not that they regarded Cheese as some kind of nobler existence, but that such a position and posture were more convenient to use, and they seemed to have decided that they would fight today. Only the black cat, still lying on the table carelessly, didn't even look at the townspeople. In this atmosphere, Emma hesitantly brought up her glass.

Lumberjacks have their own rules, and if you drink alcohol, you should never enter the woods. But nothing soothes the fatigue after heavy physical exertion like wine. So most of the lumberjacks were still drunkards, and as their chief worker, Bunyan was also a drunkard among drunkards in terms of the amount of alcohol. A glass of wine from the cellar was served, and the man really entered the state of negotiation.

"I don't think you like beating around the bush, so I'll be blunt. Seeing that the other party's state had calmed down, Cheese said, "The town of Yufa is now being attacked by the river monster, and the abnormalities that you and the people around you are exhibiting are all due to that river monster. As for how the two of you came up with such a big enmity, I don't know, and I don't want to. If you hire us, I'll just solve the problem. ”

"How much do you want?" Bunyan's beard was covered with foam, and at first glance he looked more than half less angry. However, he was not dizzy at a glass of wine, but rather it stimulated the seasoned worker, and reawakened his nerves, which had been slackened by exhaustion. This negotiation is related to the future of everyone in the entire Jiefa Town, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness.

"One-tenth of your income last year. Cheese replied quickly, "and the help of the townsmen, women, and children in dealing with the river monsters." That's not too much to ask, isn't it?"

Not to mention that the mage's asking price is ridiculously cheap. Under normal circumstances, the spirit hunter will adjust the remuneration according to the client, and a task like this, which is related to the life of an entire town, not to mention one-tenth of the town's income, is to be the town's logging income for a year or two. Moreover, these hunters who ask for a high price cannot guarantee the outcome of the mission, and there are many people who run away.

The sound of discussion resounded from the crowd, and the town of Jiefa was not far from the rushing stream, and the people here were somewhat knowledgeable, and they knew how much a regular spirit hunter would ask. However, a low asking price is not necessarily a good thing, which means that the cheese is either unfamiliar with the business and lacks experience, or he is not planning to do the ticket well and wants to run away with that little money. Either way, it's not what employers want to see.

"Why this price?" Bunyan narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to tell from his gaze what he thought of the offer. And his thick facial hair also hinders the expression of expression.

"We want cash. Once we've dealt with the river monsters, we'll get out of here immediately. So hopefully the town will be able to get out of the town and dig up the clogged waterways while we deal with the river monsters. You don't want a wizard like me to stay here for long, do you?"

Dagong thought for a moment, "If you can guarantee that you won't be attacked while my men dig the waterway." Also, you want to get them back to their spirits first. I've heard Emma say what you did, what happened to her father, and since you can find the things that stole our lives, of course you can cut them off, right? ”

Reasonable request, Cheese nodded slightly and agreed to this matter, "Let's talk about it first, I will reduce the speed at which magic steals your energy, but it won't be too exaggerated, otherwise the river monsters will notice." If she finds out that you've hired a wizard, she'll be able to go around in circles with me by leaning on the terrain. It won't be something that can be solved in the short term, and I don't want to play hide and seek with the river monsters. ”

"Agreed. When the monster is destroyed, everyone will recover, and there is no hurry at this time. But you have to alleviate the symptoms of those who can't wake up except the workers, and I don't want anyone in town to die. Also, I wonder why you call that river monster her, and are those things still male and female, or is it your habit?" Bunyan tilted his head and asked the question that many people wanted to ask.

The mage looked up at the crowd, then turned back to his companion, shrugged, and said, "Easy, because I found that guy last night." But I just followed her from a distance, and like I said, I don't want to startle the snake. ”
