Carol happily held the emerald green dagger, which she slung around her waist. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Fallen Leaf City is a small border town, and it is not very prosperous. He saw the old man Steve he met in front of the Patch Blacksmith Shop.

Carol happily ran over: "Hi, hello. ”

Steve was pushing a small cart full of rabbit skins and a few deerskins. There are many people in Middle-earth who are in the fur business. Aside from these deerskins, the other rabbit skins weren't worth much. Steve was about the same size as Turlolo. It's also a big beard. The difference is that he is Whitebeard and Tulolo is Blackbeard. He looked at the beautiful little girl in front of him, and then saw the dagger at his waist: "Little girl, you have been deceived by Patch again." ”

"What?" Carol didn't understand.

Steve stopped the car and said angrily, "Blacksmith Patch, the whole of Fallen Leaf City knows that he is a liar. Specialized in creating impractical imitation weapons to cheat us out of our money. I once bought a replica of the Earth Wheel Country crossbow arrow from him. He said that it could be fired five times in a row, and you see the result. Steve stretched out his arm, and saw a deep mark on his arm, which had healed, but it was clear that he had been bitten deeply.

"Oh my gosh. What's the matter with your arm?" cried Carol.

"It was bitten by a Kaka pig outside the city," Steve said. ”

"Kaka Pig, what's that?" asked Carol curiously.

"The Kaka pig is a wild boar unique to the southern tip of Manhat. They are very powerful and fierce. But the taste is particularly delicious. Kaka pig fur, in particular, is expensive. A few months ago I wanted to go out of town to hunt them secretly, so I went to the Patch Blacksmith to buy a bow and arrow. It's this damn Patch, and he sold me a replica of a dirt wheel crossbow arrow. Steve said hatefully.

"You all know Patch is a liar, why do you all buy his weapons?" asked Carol.

"Like you, I am from a foreign land. I'm from Shuiyou, and I'm here to do the fur business. I heard that the Kaka pig fur here is valuable in Shuiyou country, and Shuiyou country is rich, and everyone is proud to have a coat made of Kaka pigskin. I just want to get a few Kaka pig skins and transport them to Shuiyou Country, which will definitely sell for a good price. Patch's blacksmith only deceives outsiders. The locals don't dare to deceive, unless he wants to be beaten, sooner or later I will beat this guy hard. Steve said.

But Steve's short stature is probably no match for the strong Patch. Carol didn't care about that. She asked, "You used Patch's crossbow to hunt Kaka Pig outside the city, and you were bitten by Kaka Pig." Right?"

Steve stared at his big round eyes, gasping for breath, and his beard was high: "But isn't it, he told me that this crossbow arrow is five shots." I had shot the Kaka pig with an arrow in the ass, and when it came at me, I could have shot it in the head and killed it. But the bolts that this damn Patch sold me don't fire at all. That Kaka pig was naturally furious, and anyone who thought they were shot with an arrow in the ass would be angry, right?"

Carol wanted to laugh, but saw Steve's angry expression and held back, so she had to nod.

Steve didn't seem to notice, he was still angrily saying, "That guy rushed over and knocked me down at once." Then he bit my arm with a 'click'. I felt like my arm was broken. The Kaka pig bit my arm and shook it violently. Oh, I feel like my soul is shaken out. I hit it in the eye with a bolt, and it finally let go. Luckily, there was a big pine tree next to me, and I managed to climb to the top of the tree to survive. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to drink the spring water of Fallen Leaf City right now. ”

"Oh, then you're pathetic. Carol sympathized.

"Little girl, how much did you sell you this sword Patch?" Steve asked.

"Twenty gold coins. Carol said.

"What?twenty gold coins!" Steve's eyes widened, "This damn liar." I think this dagger is worth up to 8 silver coins, 100 silver coins for one gold coin, and 20 gold coins to buy his blacksmith shop. You were deceived by him. ”

"Oh, but he said that his grandfather had brought the sword back from the Flaming Mountains. Carol said.

"You can't believe a word of what Patch the Blacksmith says, the last time he said that the dagger was won by his father at a bet with someone. Steve said.

"Oh, that's okay. I love this dagger. Carol said happily as she stroked the dagger.

Steve looked at her, "What a weird silly girl. With that, Steve pushed his little cart away.

Carol chased after her: "Oh, excuse me. How do you get to the ostrich?"

Steve stopped: "What are you doing on the Ostrich Trail?"

"No, I haven't been to that place. I want to check it out. Carol said.

When Steve saw that she was dressed in luxury, he said, "You have to buy a horse first." Go straight to the southwest out of the city gate is the wild boar forest, and walk from the wild boar forest for two days to the territory of the Kelai country. Five days further west from the country of Kolai came to the border with the country of Lumbo. It was the Ostrich Road, and to the east of the gate was the horse market. Steve said.

"Thank you. Carol was leaving.

"Little girl, be careful of the wild boar forest ahead, where there are often Kaka pigs. If you don't provoke them, they generally won't attack. But if you accidentally mess with them, run as fast as you can. Steve said.

"Oh, got it. Carol walked some way forward and suddenly came back again.

"Little girl, do you still need any help? Steve said.

"Are you from Shuiyou?" asked Carol.

Steve was a little embarrassed and seemed reluctant to talk more about this topic: "This, of course I am from Shuiyou. But I haven't been back for decades. ”

"Can you come with me, then?" said Carol.

"I don't want to go, the kingdom of Kolai and the country of Rumbo have been destroyed by the Dark Legion. The rest of the people of Kolai and Rumbo fled to the land of Manha and Daya, and became their subjects. This Pache is the original Lumbo people. I'm going to go with you, what if I run into someone from the Dark Legion?" said Steve.

"I mean, you just send me to the boar forest, I want to see what Kaka Pig looks like. I'll catch you two and give them to you. Carol said.

"You, you delicate little girl, and I'm going to catch Kaka Pigs, Kaka Pigs can kill. Steve said.

Carol smiled slightly, and with a slight tap of her crystal magic wand, a small tree with the thick mouth of a bowl next to it broke into two sections.

"What magic, you're a magician?" said Steve's mouth gaping. Magicians are a respected profession in Middle-earth. Learning magic requires talent, and some people can't learn magic after a lifetime of hard work. Only the people of Daya have the most talent for learning magic in Middle-earth, with a probability of 1 in 8,000, which means that one out of every 8,000 people is suitable for practicing magic. There are only one in a million countries that are suitable for practicing magic, and the practice of magic requires strict moral character in addition to talent. Because once a magician uses magic to do evil, it will cause great losses. Every country has a magical church that punishes magicians who use magic to do evil, and they are robbed of their magical powers. And once the magic is taken away, the magician is not as good as an ordinary person. Because of the scarcity of magicians, only Nemo and Nemo in his group knew some superficial magic. Of course, mages are not necessarily omnipotent, for example, the people of the Dark Legion have rough skin and thick flesh, and some magic is not very effective on them.

"I'll give you two more coins, and now you can go buy a horse with me?" said Carol.

"Oh, of course that's fine. I'm a professional at Soma, and I'm sure I'll buy you a good white horse. Steve's eyes lit up when he heard the gold coin.

Steve took Carol to the East Side Horse Market, and Steve was really a master of horses, and he picked out some good horses, and Carol bought two.
