"The closest town to the village of Hall is called Mingtong City. www.biquge.info The groom was drunk with soju and said to the only passenger in the carriage, "Although it must be a big city compared to God, it is still a small town." The villages around the hundred miles are where to trade the necessities of life. ”

Ian nodded. He was lying in a carriage full of herbs, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the inky sky and the stars. This is a delivery truck from the village of Hall, bringing the village's specialty herbs to a nearby city for trading, and it is just a matter of picking him up by the way.

Ian bit the grass root in his mouth and asked boredly, "Can you sell it for money?"

Knowing that Ian was asking about herbs, the groom nodded with a smile and said, "The village of Hall is protected by Insykes, the god of the snow, and the herbs around it are much better than those in other places. So there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it, after all, even the people in the village have some minor diseases, and it is good to drink the soup made of herbs. ”

Ian pouted, he didn't believe Insykes, the god of snow, at all. However, it is true that the medicinal herbs in Hall Village are useful, and he has been drinking the medicinal herbs in the village for a few days before he can dispel the cold in the mouths of the villagers. Although he felt that his body was fine, he did feel much more comfortable after drinking the medicinal soup for a few days.

The groom burped, and a puff of alcohol entered Ian's nostrils, but fortunately he didn't hate the smell of wine.

"Hey, little brother, it's good to have you with me on such a trip. Ma Fu said, "Usually entering Mingtong City alone, such a few days of travel can really suffocate people." Fortunately, I have you to talk to me. ”

"How long will it take to get to Mintong City?" Ian didn't feel how comfortable it was to stay in the carriage, and the bumpy carriage made his whole body ache.

"It's almost noon tomorrow. "If you travel overnight, it's a whole day, and I don't usually travel at night." It's too tiring, but this time it's different, those people from the imperial capital have spent a lot of money in this village, and my father has also made a lot of money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought so much wine here this time to refresh myself. ”

"After all, it's from the imperial capital. Ian said, "It is certain that they have money, and in the imperial capital, they have mountains of gold and silver." ”

That's what it is. The groom smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth. He felt that the little brother in front of him was very good, and his appetite for him, almost everyone in the village thought he talked a lot, but this little brother did not dislike it, and the two talked for a day, and they did not feel tired.

After the groom finished drinking, he lit the cigarette gun he had brought with him. Soon the choking smoke also penetrated Ian's nose, and Ian looked up and saw the back of the groom bowing in the smoke, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

"Little brother, what are you doing in Mingtong City?" After taking a puff of his cigarette, the groom was in a much better mood, "Part-time job or something else?"

Ian thought about it for a moment, but told the groom, "I want to be a hunter." ”

"Hunter?" said the groom, taking another sip of soju, which burned his whole body, "to be a hunter in Mingtong City?" I think if you have some skills, you might as well go to some villages and become a hunter, otherwise in such a big city, how can you support yourself with the money you earn from hunting." ”

"I'm joining the hall, so I should be able to support myself. Ian said with some uncertainty.

"Poof. The groom squirted out a mouthful of wine in his mouth, and with a strong hand holding the hemp rope, the horse's front hooves stood up in the neighing sound. Due to inertia, the whole carriage was crooked and almost overturned, and the unprepared Ian hit his head on the carriage, making him dizzy.

The groom hurriedly got out of the carriage to calm the horse, and when he returned to the carriage, he glared at Ian angrily: "Really, it scared me." ”

Ian rubbed his head that had been hit with a big bag, and he was even more resentful: "Big brother, can you blame me for this?"

The carriage set off again under the skilful control of the groom, and this time he did not dare to be careless, and he stopped drinking. Then he began to persuade Ian: "You say that you are young, why are you not good? to join the hall? Is that a child's business? Don't think that you know how to put a few traps and know some hunting skills, and you want to run to the hall." The hall isn't for catching rabbits. ”

"I know. Ian didn't care, "The dragon slayer." ”

The groom cut off: "You little brother is really arrogant, have you ever seen a dragon?

Ian didn't speak, looking down and stroking the Black Flame Marker on his arm, thinking that perhaps there were few people who knew dragons better than me.

However, the groom certainly did not know, and he still persuaded with good intentions: "It is good for young people to be enthusiastic, but they must also do what they can." Also, are you really that good to join in the hall? There used to be a man in our village who was as strong as a blind bear. He really killed a blind bear when he was young, how about it, no one can compare to him in terms of strength, right?"

Ian didn't speak again, but in his heart, he silently thought of Carl, who was carrying two silver crossbows to bombard the Snow Ape King, and Old Rudo, who was carrying a cross giant sword and carrying the dragon to attack. They're the ones who define the limits of humanity, right?

"But he was such a strong man, and the hall rejected him. The groom still said to himself, "Even the blind bear can kill the people, but they can't enter the hall." You can imagine how difficult it is to get into the hall, hey, after all, the thorn flower is not so easy to hold. ”

Ian is not a novice like the groom, whether from memories ten years ago or from the mouth of the Messiah later. The hall is not to recruit powerful men, it covers a wide range, as long as you have a skill that it can see, you can join the hall.

Ian didn't have the strong body and courage of Carl and Rudo, but after coming out of the snowy mountain, he found that his eyes became exceptionally good, he could see very small things in the distance, and his two arms were also extremely steady, although he couldn't lift heavy things, but his hands would not tremble a little when he held them flat for a long time. And these are all good conditions for becoming an archer, and when he returned to Hall Village, Ian also tried his hand with a bow and arrows, which can almost be said to be a no-brainer, which made many old hunters in the village sigh to themselves.

Although bows and arrows are slowly being eliminated by crossbow arrows nowadays, it's better to have a skill than nothing, isn't it?

Rudo said he had inherited the heart of the Iliad. However, in addition to finding a small red dot in both eyes that cannot be seen at all if you don't look carefully, there is also a tattoo of a small sapling behind you that is even more difficult to see. Nothing else, much to Ian's suspicion that Rudo was mistaken.

But Rudo is dead, and even if he were alive, he might not be able to explain it. About the Iliad, perhaps no one can solve it, in a sense, Ian is the only one.

Looking at the stars overhead, listening to the groom's chatter in his ear, Ian slowly closed his eyes.

You can only take one step at a time.
