Chapter 67: Meeting the Mercenaries
The Dark Dragon King Shuo was very surprised by Luo Lan's spiritual attack, because he had never heard of anyone who could exert spiritual mysteries at such a low level, unless it was an undead spirit like a ghost, which was itself a mass of spiritual aggregates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Other creatures can at most use momentum to subdue low-level kinds, and if you really want to use momentum to attack, that's two different things.
But Luo Lan's tone was very strict, and no matter how much he tried it, he couldn't find a single secret, only saying that it was the power given by the "Divine Spirit" in the core of his soul.
There are indeed some fanatical believers in gods in this world, who have no magical talent themselves, but are endowed with divine skills by the gods. However, in his opinion, this mysterious skeleton little undead did not look like a believer, and after being entangled for a long time, he had no choice but to give up the idea of snooping.
Luo Lan ignored the careful thinking of the Dark Dragon King Shuo, and after experimenting with the Sword of Divine Sense, he dragged the prey that killed the ground gray-haired goat behind the rock.
This gray goat-like prey has tender and delicious meat, and its fur can be removed and processed into high-quality warm clothes, which is very popular with wealthy people and can be sold for a good price when brought back to town.
According to Lucia's idea, this trip would make more money to make up for the cost of purchasing the materials needed to summon the magic circle some time ago, as well as the bottle of potion that he had broken in the study when he first arrived in the human world that day, a total of five or six gold coins.
In the kingdom of Ayalan, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and the normal working civilians are only paid a few silver coins a month. So he knew that the little girl had spent a few gold coins, and sighed that he really couldn't leave the child alone at home, and maybe something would happen.
Fortunately, her grandfather seemed to be relatively wealthy, and left ten gold coins at home, so that the little girl would not go hungry due to indiscriminate spending.
The towering ancient trees grew around the pond, and it was not until before sunset that the water surface was full of sparkling light that Luo Lan saw the trail of the antelope, which was the same as that mentioned in the hunter's hunting record, which basically appeared at dusk. But this time, for some unknown reason, only two antelope wandered to the pond, so he planned to go back to the town first to dispose of the goods, and then come back after the monster of Lake Nice was solved.
Walking to the agreed place in the forest, Lucia saw that the visitor's eyes lit up, and a smile suddenly appeared on her listless pretty face: "Mr. Suzumu, is it over? Look, I just picked it." ā
As she spoke, she raised her little hand as if offering a treasure, pinching a white dandelion on it.
"Oh, it's a dandelion. Luo Lan nodded, dandelions seem to be very rare in the Ayalan Kingdom, and they are rare and expensive, so many nobles or flower shops specialize in cultivating this kind of plant for ornamentation.
"Yes, it is said that the dandelion flowers are inhabited by white elves, and if they are blown up themselves, the wish will be blessed. ā
At sunset, the girl on the green grass smiled sweetly, and was about to close her bright eyes and blow a breath, but suddenly a gust of wind blew in the forest, and all the pompoms with white crowned fur were lifted into the air and drifted away with the wind.
"Ah, bad wind, how can this be! The dandelions that people have finally picked must have been taken away by the wind demons. Lucia was so angry that she chased after her little hand and stretched out her hand to retrieve the velvet.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. Luo Lan grabbed the little girl back: "Aren't you afraid of being hungry, go back early, remember what I said about seeing the mercenaries at the hotel?"
"Well, of course I remember, Mr. Suzumo, don't worry. Lucia put away her burden and nodded.
"That's good. ā
Luo Lan pulled out his war knife and still opened the road in front, still carrying the gray goat killed by the spiritual attack on his back, and couldn't help but repeat what the mercenary was about to say on the way.
It's not that he's verbose, but it's very important to besiege and kill the water monsters of Lake Nesser, which is directly related to the acquisition of the water system spirit stone. And you can't let the mercenaries know about the water system spirit stone, otherwise it's hard to guarantee what they will think, and he still understands the heart of guarding against people.
The town of Zekkaria is as noisy as ever, and adventurers can often be seen walking through the crowd.
It was already evening when he returned to the street, and the little girl put on his hood, and he put on his black robe again, and carried the gray goat beast directly to the bazaar slaughterhouse.
Along the way, many people saw him walking out of the forest with his prey, pointing and pointing, showing a look of envy.
For ordinary people, being able to hunt wild beasts in the Twilight Forest without getting hurt is undoubtedly something worth celebrating in the tavern. Because their flesh can't resist the bites of poisonous insects and green snakes, it is difficult for their eyes to find the hidden pit beasts hidden under the dense vegetation, and one of them may die if they are not careful.
Giving the prey to the butcher of the meat stall, Luo Lan received ten silver coins, the price of which was much higher than normal. Because it was killed by a psychic attack, and there was not a single wound on the body, the butcher thought that the prey was infected with disease or poisoned, and that it would be worthless except for the fur.
However, after some examination, there were no adverse symptoms. In the butcher's words of surprise, he directly and generously paid ten silver coins, and said that if there was any prey in the future, he could send all of them, and the purchase would be a full 10% higher than the market price, which was a common means for traders to retain potential customers. Luo Lan was also happy to have a convenient place for the prey to shoot, so he nodded directly in agreement.
Lucia on the side was already impatient to go back to the hotel for a meal, her little stomach was grumbling with hunger, and when she saw that Luo Lan had finally negotiated, she hurriedly called him and turned around and left.
But the little girl who turned her head didn't notice that there were two people walking in front of her, and he wanted to remind that it was too late, and the two sides suddenly collided, and the person who was hit came with a cry of pain.
"Damn little one, don't you see anyone?!" Next to the victim was a blonde young man, who immediately reprimanded his companion when he saw it.
Because Lucia was dressed in a low-key gray-blue robe, covered her face with a hood, and the sky was dark, the blonde youth did not see her pretty face clearly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Lucia immediately lowered her head and said sorry repeatedly.
"Oops, it's hurting to death. The person who was hit was actually a woman, she raised her head, revealing a beautiful face, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the surrounding crowd.
"Are you okay?" the blond young man hurriedly helped the woman and said, "Look at what is missing on your body, this kind of street child is not a good thing." ā
In the kingdom of Ayalan, there are often poor families or children instigated by the gangsters roaming the streets, waiting for opportunities to steal things, and lure money through the kindness of some people, so they are very unpopular with adventurers and merchants.
"Hmph...... Forget it, Vic, she didn't take anything, let's not worry about a little kid. The good-looking woman quietly withdrew her hand from the young man's arms, shook her head, and said.
Hearing this, the young man Vic glanced at Lucia and Luo Lan who came up, and said arrogantly: "Count your good luck, Cui Bisi doesn't want to worry about you, so don't go far!"
"I'm so sorry. Lucia nodded politely and said, "Mr. Suzumo, let's go." ā
Saying that, without waiting for him to make more moves, he pulled up his sleeves and hurried to the hotel, as if he knew that Luo Lan might make a move if he continued to make trouble.
"It's a kind girl, but those two ...... just now" Luo Lan followed behind and secretly thought about the young man and woman she bumped into.
The other side.
The blonde young man Vic looked at their backs and said to the woman, "That kid is covered in dust, I didn't stain your clothes, you seem to have a habit of cleanliness." ā
Cui Bisi shook her head, narrowed her green eyes and said, "It's okay, it's best not to attack rashly, the black-robed man just now seems to be an undead." Let's go back to the hotel as soon as we're done with our things, and don't let them wait too long. ā
"What, that black-robed man is an undead?" Vic, the blonde youth, was taken aback.
......
"Well, it's delicious!"
In the tavern, Lucia was blissfully eating the cooked food on the table, and nothing could be more satisfying than enjoying a steaming meal after a tiring and hungry day.
Luo Lan saw that the little girl was eating deliciously, so she walked to the counter of the room and knocked on the wooden table.
The girl in charge of the inn raised her head, saw him and smiled: "Guest, it's you, the mercenary, they are in the corner room on the second floor." But it's better not to disturb them if it's okay, lest I blame my business for not doing well. ā
Without saying a word, he put down a bag of copper coins on the counter, and he silently sat down next to the little girl and said, "Let's go meet the group of mercenaries." ā
