Chapter 53: Water Spart
The little girl's adoring approval, Luo Lan was not too proud, but shook her head and took the opportunity to teach a lesson: "If you want to have knowledge, you usually have to read more, don't always think about playing, and tease Xiao Meow every day, the exams of the academy often fail." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Mr. Suzumo~" Lucia immediately pouted as soon as she heard this: "It's hard to come out, don't talk about the academy anymore, let the family relax and relax." Aren't you going to the food supplier Hunter Good's house? Let's go. ”
After speaking, he grabbed Luo Lan and ran towards the residential area of the town, as if he was afraid of mentioning the matter of studying again.
Before he arrived, the fat cook at Lijia's restaurant had asked him to stop by the town of Zekalinya to check if something had happened to the old hunter who had provided the antelope meat and the red calyx. Tomorrow is going to go into the Twilight Forest, so Luo Lan simply finishes all the trivial tasks tonight, saving the trouble of running back and forth.
According to the address, the two soon found Goode's house, which was a typical country farmhouse, with an open space next to each of the two huts, growing vegetables and a few herds of free-range livestock, and a middle-aged woman wearing a turban was sifting through grain.
Lucia briefly called the woman and explained her intentions, and the woman hurriedly invited the two into the house to talk. The farmhouse was littered with debris, the fireplace was blackened, the earthen walls were mottled, and it looked so shabby that even the chairs creaked when they sat on them, as if they were overwhelmed.
"Well, Goode hasn't been back since he entered the Twilight Forest a month ago, and he hasn't left any information, he used to go hunting, and I did some farming at home to support the family. Goode is very good, although he is older, but he is not bad for his children because I am remarried. Now that he is gone, if something happens, how will he live in the future......" The middle-aged woman sighed with a sad face, and her face became more and more gloomy when she saw the innocent child who was four or five years old playing on the side.
"The child was growing up, and now he suddenly has no financial resources, and my remuneration in the weaving workshop will take two months to pay, so I have no choice but to find more work......" The middle-aged woman confided intermittently, and then found her own words, and immediately smiled bitterly and apologized: "People talk a lot as soon as they reach age, please forgive me, Mr. and Miss." ”
"Where, we can understand your feelings. Lucia shook her head and smiled, "Besides, Mr. Goode may have something to delay in the forest, and Mr. Suzumu and I are about to go to him, and I will definitely inform you if there is any news." ”
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss. The middle-aged woman gratefully, "Goode often went out to hunt in the Twilight Forest, so he built a wooden house in a forest. This is a map left at home, which shows the route of his usual hunting exploration, I hope it can help you. ”
As she spoke, the woman turned and pulled out a yellowed scroll from the bedside and handed it over.
"It's so useful, it's a lot easier for us to find. Lucia took the map and looked at it a few times in surprise and said, "Mr. Suzumo, how about you take a look...... Mr. Suzumaki?"
However, Luo Lan next to him didn't pay much attention to this road map, which was very important for exploring the forest, but paid all his attention to an inconspicuous stone where the peasant women and children were playing next to him. The stone was almost oval in shape, covered with a hard crust of stone, and looked like the stones that could be found everywhere.
He pondered for a moment, and waited for the woman's conversation to be in the middle of a moment, when suddenly a message was delivered to Lucia. The little girl blinked curiously, looked at the stones on the ground again, and asked according to his meaning, "Auntie, your son's ...... Where did you pick up the stones?"
"Huh?" the woman obviously didn't expect the other to ask the question suddenly.
When a four- or five-year-old boy who was playing with stones underground heard about him, he immediately stood up and answered: "These are all things I picked up with Cohen last time by the lake outside the town, do you want to come and play with you, sister?"
"You child, when did you sneak out again, didn't I say that you are not allowed to play by the lake?" The middle-aged woman heard the lesson and said: "It is rumored that there are water monsters in the lake of Nisr, and ordinary fishermen dare not take a boat, and the next time they run so far without their mother's permission, they will be grounded." ”
"Lake Nesser, what is that place?" asked Lucia, confused.
"Oh, young lady, you outsiders may not know that Lake Nesser is a lake northeast of our town, and it is rich in fish, but there are often incidents of fishermen wrecking. The mayor also asked several adventurers to investigate, but they had no clue, and one of them accidentally fell into the lake and died. Over time, the lake was listed as a forbidden area, and no one approached it again. This kid is really naughty, and he can't stop running out. The middle-aged woman replied.
"I see......" Lucia nodded.
Then the two sat down and talked about some trivial things, and the little girl quietly listened to the middle-aged woman's life, often comforting her with just the right words, and seemed very sensible and gentle and friendly, which could not help but make the woman's good impression of them rise. So much so that when Luo Lan and the two said goodbye, they proposed to take away a little boy's stone, and they immediately agreed.
At night, the silver and purple moon shines on the land, and the town is silent, except for the occasional sound of a dog barking and a gong or two ringing from the alleys.
In the hotel room, there was no light, and the little girl was already asleep.
Luo Lan sat on a chair and looked at the hunter map spread out, and the pitch-black environment did not affect his vision at all. Since he cultivated the Heavenly Eye with the one-eyed earth bead, he already has all the vision of human beings, and he can see in the dark, if he cooperates with the innate spiritual detection ability of the undead skeleton, he can even achieve perspective through the object, for example, now he can clearly see every texture of the wooden table under the paper through the map.
"It seems that it is the right choice to go to the Hunter Good's house in advance, and having this map will be too helpful for hunting in the Twilight Forest. ”
Looking at the marks on the scroll map, I can only see that the wild beast haunts that the hunters have explored over the years are clearly pointed out, among which there are the marks of the antelope ostrich and the century-old tree for the purpose of this trip. Explore the moonlit night is not necessarily found,
In fact, if it weren't for Good's disappearance, the middle-aged woman had a good impression of the little girl, Luo Lan would never have gotten this kind of private map, and the location searched by every forest hunter was a precious source of information. Good weapons and equipment are important for hunters, but it's the exploration points that really make experienced hunters care, and that's an important difference between an old hunter and a rookie.
Without this scroll map, it is very likely that even after another month, Luo Lan will only be looking in the forest with a black eye, and he will not be able to find anything.
Of course, the most important thing for him to improve his strength is the stone that he asked for from the little boy of the Gude family, which is pressing on the map at this time.
After Luo Lan returned to the hotel, he scraped off the corner of the stone with a knife, revealing the sapphire-like core in it, and his guess was immediately confirmed. This stone that I accidentally discovered with the Heavenly Eye turned out to be the water-based spar needed to cultivate the Dark Light Spirit Bone!
According to the secret method of the Dark Dragon King Shuo, in order to evolve from the body of white bones to the dark light spirit bone, you must first absorb the three series of elemental spars, which are earth, water, and wood.
The earth-based bone body had been cultivated with hedron before it came to the human realm, but there was no news of the remaining two spars, because according to the records of the magic books in the library of the academy these days, the elemental spars of various systems were extremely precious existences in the human world. Even in the entire kingdom of Ayalan, only a few veins of elemental ore have been found, and they are all extremely deep underground, making it very difficult to mine.
