Chapter 40: Embarking on a Journey
"Endless day and night?"
The old fellow was a little embarrassed when he heard the name, which didn't sound like the name of a cloak, and to be honest, if a magician heard it, he might have thought it was the name of a spell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, endless days and nights. β
Seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, Hong Qi still said its name with certainty.
"Okay...... It sounds a little weird, but it's you who wears it anyway, so it's good to be happy. β
Although Barak was a little confused about the name Hong Qi had taken, he didn't bother to ask Hong Qi what it meant, as long as Hong Qi could carry forward the equipment he had built.
"Thank you. β
After Hong Qi finished speaking, he saluted and thanked Barak in front of him.
"No thanks, friends don't need to thank each other for helping each other, you know?"
Hong Qi laughed when he heard this, and then gave Barak a big hug.
"I remember to come and see me when I have time. β
"Don't worry, I definitely remember that. β
After saying this, Hong Qi left Barak's blacksmith shop, and then went to the inn to replenish enough food and water before preparing to leave for the capital.
Well...... It's not safe to stay at the border, so it's better to go to the capital, and the token that the starry sky gave me may have some use.
Hong Qi thinks so, his current stay at the border is likely to reveal his identity, and escaping back to the forest is also a very difficult choice, because he still needs some resources to help him grow, and the danger he faces in the forest is definitely no less than staying in a human city.
The Karl Forest seems to be safe, but in fact, it is because the beast tide has not yet arrived, and when the beast tide appears, the danger level will double.
Looking at the map, Hong Qi decided where he was going.
Tamo City, just this side, go over there to explore first, and then go to the dark forest not far away to cultivate, at least let your strength reach the magician or even the great magician, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in the future......
Tamo City, a large city, ranked among the top ten cities in the Kingdom of Kense, because of its proximity to the fringes, there are many monsters and monsters to trade in, and almost everything you want to buy can be found there.
The point that Hong Qi wants to go there is that Tamo City has the largest black market in the kingdom, and the trade in the black market area is anarchy, which is very convenient for him, because some things that are prohibited by the government can be purchased from there, and of course the price is not cheap.
And the dark forest is an interesting place, although it is in the territory of the kingdom, there are still a lot of monsters and monsters, and that place is also listed as a dangerous area by the kingdom, at least people who are not strong enough can not enter.
Legend has it that the Dark Forest is a dangerous area that connects to the demonic abyss, but this is only because of the eerie feeling of the place for many years, and some boring people speculate that there may be evil mages with powerful mana in that place.
Of course, this is a joke, after all, in the kingdom, under the management of demon slayer knights and demon hunters, it is very difficult to find the trace of a mage, how can there be a mage in a famous place that is frankly discussed?
So a man and a dog are about to embark on an adventurous journey, although for Doug he is quite reluctant to leave the city, because after leaving the city, he will not be able to eat delicious food, but in the face of Hong Qi's fist, the little black dog can only give in.
Doug's coat color at this time was difficult for Hong Qi to dye yellow because of his talent for petrified skin, so he had to keep his black hair.
Arriving at the north gate of the town, unlike the south gate, which faces the Karl Forest, the north gate is the starting point for the kingdom.
Just as Hong Qi was about to leave Deta City, he happened to meet a carriage with a decoration that sounded familiar to him.
"Penguin, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence. β
At this moment, he heard a pleasant sound, and Hong Qi finally knew who the owner of the carriage was.
A girl came down from the carriage accompanied by a coachman, and when she saw Hong Qihou saluting him, she did not have a mask on her face, but showed a youthful countenance. However, in his opinion, he was a little disappointed, the girl's face was just good-looking to Hong Qi, but it did not reach the level of a beauty.
"I said, miss, can you please stop calling me a penguin. β
Hearing this, Hong Qi couldn't help but feel ashamed, although he had done a good job of disguise before leaving, but the mask on his face still had to be worn, so Hong Qi's identity was easily discovered by the girl in front of him.
"No, I think penguins sound cute, well, I'll call you Mr. Penguin as a courtesy. β
The woman looked at Hong Qi at this time and said seriously.
...... Okay, I admit it, don't tell anyone about it next time, Mr. Penguin?
"Then I should call you Miss White Bear, right?"
After finishing speaking, Hong Qi seemed to vaguely notice the coachman's unkind eyes, although this look only appeared for a short moment.
"Well, that's what we'll call it. β
After hearing Hong Qi's words, the woman nodded vigorously in agreement with him.
"Well, Miss White Bear, it's a coincidence that we just happened to meet, where are you going?"
Although Hong Qi didn't want to pay much attention to this girl, for the sake of her previous help, he could still do it with polite questions and answers.
"We're heading to Tamodu, Penguin, what about you?"
"I'm also going to Tamo City, which is a very coincidental thing. β
Hearing this, the girl smiled brightly, and then asked Hong Qi.
"Mr. Penguin, would you like to come with me, and it shouldn't be a bad thing to have a companion on the way?"
Invite me? But that guy seems to have a problem?
When Hong Qi was still thinking, he felt that there was a little murderous aura in the coachman's eyes.
"Miss, it doesn't seem right to take a strange man with you on a journey, does ......it?
"Russius, didn't I say don't mention that guy's name? I said I was going out this time just to relax, and I mentioned him. β
At this time, the girl's tone was slightly angry, and when she heard this, the coachman quickly bowed her head and apologized.
"I'm sorry, miss, I won't mention that guy again. β
"Hmph! β
"So, Mr. Penguin, what do you think? I believe it's easier to get on a carriage than to go on foot, right?"
Well...... It's easier, but when you face a girl who doesn't know your identity, especially when she may be very high, you have to think about it.
Seeing that Hong Qi never responded, the girl seemed to think of something.
"By the way, don't worry, I won't tell anyone who you are, we're just companions to Tamodu. β
That sounds like a threat to me, right? Anyway, I want to take a carriage too.
After thinking about it, Hong Qi finally agreed to the girl's invitation, anyway, he needed to hurry and have a valid reason to go to the capital.
So the three of them and a dog began their journey, and by the way, two horses were working as coolies.
