Chapter Forty-Eight: The City of Jör
"I'm finally in the city of Joel, so I'm going to have a good rest today. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stood on the street with open arms, looking at the pedestrians coming and going around him, and said happily.
"Master, we still have to hand in the task before we can rest, we have been delayed for so long. ”
The middle-aged man standing behind the boy with a magic wand in his hand heard the boy's words and whispered a reminder behind the boy.
"Oh, I know, let's hurry up and hand in the task, and then we can sleep beautifully, I haven't had a good sleep for more than ten days. So saying, the boy walked ahead towards the center of the city.
The two men were North and Cessos, and after separating from Freddy, North and the two headed for the city of Jor, and two days later they arrived at the collection site of the last gathering mission, and under the fierce gaze of the horned rhinoceros living near the celery hook kiss, North and the two completed the remaining gathering mission.
At that time, North was still a little worried about picking their food under the watchful eye of the horned rhinos, he was worried that the horned rhinos would be angry because their food was picked, but fortunately they completed the collection task without danger and obtained enough high-quality celery leaf hooks.
After eight days of walking in the wilderness, he arrived at the city of Jör, and this was the beginning of the scene, during which Nos slept in the forest, and although Cassos kept vigil for him, he still missed the feeling of lying in bed in the wilderness.
In addition, after Freddy left, North gave Cassos the reward for their mission--- fragments of the ancient magic book, but Cassos told North that it was useless.
"Isn't this forbidden fragment real?" North was surprised by Cisos' words, after all, the previous fragment was still usable, why didn't this one work.
"Yes master, this fragment didn't fall from my forbidden magic codex, so it can't be fused. ”
It's also very annoying that this forbidden fragment can't be fused with Cassos, because the fragment that was finally obtained is actually fake, which is too depressing, and it also means that they are likely to encounter such a situation in the future.
This will undoubtedly cause them a lot of trouble, they take the task based on the task recorded by the mercenary guild, and they can't check the authenticity of the scrap before doing the task every time, and then decide whether to take the task or not.
In this way, their mercenary level will not be increased, so they can only take on more tasks if they complete the quest after selecting the quest, regardless of whether the rewarded forbidden canon fragment is true or not.
The disadvantage of this is that it will increase their task volume, and it is good to say that there is only one thing to recover in Cassos to recover their strength, and there will be more people who need to recover their strength in the future, which will cause a lot of trouble.
"That means we've done this mission in vain, but it's nothing, in the beginning, didn't we just want to try it, didn't we need the fragments of this magic book?
We should be glad that the first time we found it was true, and if we found this one for the first time, then we probably wouldn't be looking for this kind of quest in the future, wouldn't it be even sadder?"
Seeing that Cassos stopped moving after he finished speaking, North thought that Cassos was blaming himself, blaming himself for not sensing in advance that the fragment of the forbidden magic book was fake.
"Master, I'm just thinking that if there are fake forbidden pages, I'm afraid we'll get a lot of fake forbidden pages in the future. ”
"There's no way around it, after all, we can't make sure every time we take on a task, whether the rewarded Forbidden Fragment is what we need, so I'm afraid others will think that we have discovered the secret of the Forbidden Fragment, but it's not all bad. ”
North also thought about what Cassos said, they had decided to try not to let others know that they were collecting forbidden fragments, so as not to get into trouble, and now that they found out that there were fakes, it would be convenient for them to take out the forbidden fragments they had collected in the future, so that those who doubted them would believe that they were just researching.
"Hmm, what does that mean?" Karsos was puzzled by North's words, not knowing what good it was.
"Hehe, Kassos, we can't hide the fragments of the forbidden canon from everyone, if all we collect is really fused by you, then when others suspect us in the future, we won't be able to take out the fragments of the forbidden canon to dispel the suspicion for us. ”
"I see, but if we can get the real thing every time, will we still be afraid of them after I fuse?"
Kassos couldn't deny North's words, but he was also very confident in his own strength, so he didn't think they would have such a problem.
"But what do we do if we encounter someone much higher than us? ”
"This..."To North's question, Kassos didn't know how to answer, after all, his previous words said that his strength was not much stronger than him.
After entering the city of Yor, North and Cassos went to the mercenary guild to hand over the mission, and after handing over the task, North and Cassos checked in at the hotel, and they wanted to have a good rest.
The next morning, after resting for the night, the two of them walked around the city of York, they wanted to see the difference between the city of York and other places, in fact, the place they were going to was the square of the city of York, and when they handed in the task yesterday, they saw the sculptures on the square from a distance.
After returning home, North asked the hotel men about the statue, because it was not a statue of a god, nor a statue of a strong man, but a statue of a group of unarmed women surrounded by fire, and North and his wife were very curious about this statue.
The city of Yore was not called this before, and few people know what it was in the first place, because as time went on, few people cared about that name.
A thousand years ago, there was a plague in the city, and their lord didn't know why, but he actually said that the plague in the city was caused by a witch in the city who was trading with the devil.
On the same day, the city lord arrested two women, and on the third day, the two captured women were caught by the guards on the square, and the two women were beaten and bruised, only the breath came out but not the breath entered.
Looking at the two women who were no longer human in the square, the residents couldn't bear it, the city lord said that the two women were very vicious, they colluded with the devil to spread the plague in the city, and they didn't know to repent after being caught, but they once said a word, even if they were killed, someone would continue.
In order to deter those who colluded with the devil, the lord of the city decided to burn the two women to death, and also asked the residents of the city to report each other, as long as they found anyone who practiced witchcraft, they had to report it, so that the plague could be solved quickly.
For a moment, the whole city was panicked and suspicious of each other, and the people of the city were afraid of being suspected of being witches, and this continued for a long time, until a woman named Joel Hathaway.
Joel Hathaway is the most beautiful woman in the city, but she was reported shortly after, and the city lord took her away until the fifth day before she was caught on the square, looking at Hathaway, who was also dying, the residents who had fallen into madness at that time did not have the initial unbearable, and some were just about to end the plague.
Just as the guards tied Joel Hathaway to a wooden frame and burned her to death, Hathaway, surrounded by fire, suddenly shouted loudly, "The plague was spread by the city lord, and the reason why he captured the women was just to vent his evil desires, and those who were killed were innocent." ”
