Chapter 9: Untitled
"Nuoyi, you've been around here for a few days, have you ever seen a purple grass?"
Helen, who was traveling with North, remembered their mission and wanted to ask North if he had seen the herbs they were looking for in this mercenary mission. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Purple Grass, you're going to pick Purple Grass?"
"That's right, our mercenary mission this time is to collect enough purple grass, and we haven't found a single one since yesterday, do you know where it is?"
Thinking that North knew where Purple Grass was, Helen immediately told North what they were trying to do this time, and neither of the two people next to her stopped her.
"Well, I know, there's one around here. ”
"What, it's nearby?"
They were all excited to hear North say that there was purple grass nearby. After a day of searching but not finding it, they were going to go back and buy some purple grass for their first mercenary mission.
"yes, where did you all find it, around here?"
North wondered when he heard that they had been searching for so long and had not found it. Purple Grass, which is a low-level herb, a low-level herb commonly used by alchemists, is used in many low-level alchemy potions, so it is in great demand, and this kind of task in the Mercenary Guild belongs to the most basic task.
"We're around here, what's wrong. ”
Dil, who was traveling with him, was thrilled to hear North ask them where to find Purple Grass. Because listening to North, he seemed to know where to find Purple Grass, this was his first mercenary mission, and he didn't want to end up failing.
"There's nothing in the vicinity, but if you go inside, you'll be able to meet it. Purple grass generally grows in damp places, which are too dry, and there are dark and damp places in the depths of the mountain forests inside, where there will be purple grass. I'll take you there......"
Seeing that they didn't have any common sense, North had no choice but to take them with him to find Purple Grass, and he wanted to go into the Pollux Fortress with a few of them, and let a few of them help if he was asked.
Time goes back to when North had just finished meditating,,,
North had just finished meditating, and when he opened his eyes, he was startled to see three children a little older than him sitting across from him.
"Who are you?"
North quickly picked up the machete he had placed under his lap, he didn't expect to be close to them and not notice it while meditating, this was one of the taboos of magicians that his master had always told him, he didn't expect him to make such a big mistake just after leaving the town.
"You don't have to worry, we have no ill will. ”
Seeing the way North woke up and immediately held the machete, Helen immediately explained to North that after all, they had no ill intentions, they just wanted to ask something.
"You don't have to be so nervous, my name is Helen, what's your name. ”
"My name is Noyi, what do you do, how did you end up here. ”
Seeing the girl on the other side, thinking that the girl was explaining to herself, Noss put down the machete, but still kept it at hand. Although he let down his guard, North still didn't tell the other party his real name.
"We're mercenaries, we're here on a mission. ”
Helen was glad to hear North answer her question, which meant that North was no longer so defensive against them, and he thought that they could actually go back to the city with the people on the other side.
"Mercenaries, you're mercenaries?"
North looked at them with a puzzled look, because the book that his teacher had shown him contained information about the mercenary's entry and advancement.
"What's the matter, aren't we? All three of us are mercenaries, you know. ”
Seeing North's puzzled eyes, Helen and them were a little unnatural. Because, they are mercenaries who have just registered, and this is their first appearance. They are embarrassed to go back on their own, for fear of being ridiculed by others.
They searched for a day yesterday and couldn't find it, and they were tired of the day. It was almost dawn now, so they were going to leave for home, and when they got back to the city, they would buy some from the herb pickers. They didn't want to do it, but they couldn't find one after a day, and they were tired, so they decided to go back, and they met North.
Oh!
North didn't bother with them, and was alone roasting meat. This was what he had left in the backpack behind him in advance. His master had told him not to easily expose the fact that he had a storage bag outside. Moreover, North did not tell them his real name, he was afraid that time would change.
Seeing North barbecuing meat with an indifferent face, Helen was very angry, and she wanted to reason with North, but was stopped by her partner.
"Nuoyi, why are you here alone, aren't you afraid of being here yourself?"
Tru saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere. He wanted to ask North what he was going to do later, and if North wanted to go back to Bolux Fortress, they wanted to go with him.
"Me, I'm practicing alone, feeling the breath of the elements. It's been a few days since I've been out, though, so I'll be back later, what about you?"
After making up a reason for himself, North told them that he was going back to Bolux Fortress. Because since they stopped here, then they just wanted to go back with him, and it just so happened that he also needed someone to go back with him, so he just talked about it.
"Really, then we can go back together, and we're going back too. ”
Tru was glad to hear that North was going back too, for they had planned to go back with him if he was going back too.
"Yes, I'm going back anyway. ”
In this way, North went on the road with them as Noyi, and for Helen's problem, North thought so, since he wanted to go back with them, then help them, so North took them to find Purple Grass.
While picking purple grass, North learned about the three of them, Helen, Trui, and Diel, all of whom were residents of the Fortress of Polux, and the three of them grew up together.
The three of them secretly ran out this time, went to the mercenary union to register as a mercenary, and then the three of them took on the easiest task they could, although the three of them lived in the Bolux Fortress and knew that purple grass was a low-level herb that was frequently used, but they didn't know the growth habits of purple grass, so they searched for a whole day but couldn't find it.
After leading them to pick enough purple grass, North went back to Bolux Fortress with them. They were glad that North had done the job for them, so they wanted to invite North to their house. But North had been telling them a lie, so he didn't want to be a guest at their house, he didn't want to continue to fulfill the lie.
North just wanted to get out of the fortress of Polox and go to the Duchy of Light, or go further afield, to the chaotic lands that his father had spoken of many times, each time with a look of yearning.
He wanted to sign the contract faster, and then he could be quicker and think clearly about what had happened to him during this time. He didn't want to live like he had to leave the place he'd lived for so long, or even the city closest to their town.
After thinking through these things, he wanted to go to the place his father had longed for, and he wanted to see it. His parents are dead, his parents have high hopes for him, he wants his parents to be proud of him, even if his parents can't see him anymore, he just wants to live his life clearly.
He wanted to revive Arabella, who had died for him, after figuring out what had happened, and then he could go to his master. He wanted to learn magic from his master, even if he could never become a magician apprentice. As long as his master doesn't bother him and doesn't drive him away, he will stay by his master's side for the rest of his life, even if he will never be able to become a magician apprentice.
