Chapter 56: Farewell to the Eighth Master
At noon, Mo He and the others had already packed their luggage and drove back to Turtle Rock City in a small carriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the way back to Turtle Rock City, there were many travelers walking in front of them, most of them in horse-drawn carriages, and those who did not have horse-drawn carriages also carried salutes with them.
I haven't been back to the city for a week, why are there so many pedestrians suddenly on this road, are they planning to go to the Black Sword Bay area further south to spend the winter?
The eighth master went to inquire about the owners of several carriages, and learned the real situation, they were the inhabitants of Iron Man Ridge, where the war between the Rongen Empire and the Duchy of Stennis had been fought.
Looking at these people fleeing the war, Mo He has a sense of déjà vu, but these people have not yet evolved to the point of wandering around, and they are not panicked looking at their current demeanor, and they may still have great confidence in their future life.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic traveler, the eighth master sat back on the left side of the carriage, Wren sat in front of the car, Sha Anna sat in the car to practice the methods of meditation taught by the eighth master, and Mo He walked on the right side of the carriage to be alert to the danger at any time.
There was a rare crowd of travelers along the way, and it took more time for Biping to get back to Turtle Rock Castle in order to avoid the pedestrian carriages on the road.
After entering the city, I found that there were many more people in Turtle Rock Castle than before, and the streets of Turtle Rock Castle were not very spacious in the first place, so it was even more difficult to walk with them now.
Finally staring at the scorching sun, the pony cart crawled like a turtle to the mercenary bar.
He was confronted by an old acquaintance, the familiar short merchant, Mr. Hofdent.
"Mr. Mohe, Mr. Wren, and Miss Shaanna! Hahaha! It's a pleasure to meet you here. Mr. Hovdent instantly recognized Mo He and greeted them loudly.
"Hello Mr. Hoofdent, why are you in Turtle Rock City? Mo He was not disgusted with this businessman, so he was happy to have a good conversation with the other party.
"yes! That's what I mean. "Mr. Hovdent was very happy to hear Mo He's invitation.
Finding an empty spot in the mercenary bar, Mo He introduced each other to the eighth master and Mr. Hofdent, and the two shook hands politely and then sat down.
The eighth master called the beautiful maid in the bar to order, and Mo He took advantage of the waiting time before the meal to chat casually with Mr. Hovdent.
Knowing that Mr. Hovdent was planning to transport a shipment of grain to the Bronze City, he had just issued an escort mission in the bar.
Mo He inquired about the details of the escort and found that this task was just right, he was going to Wutong City, and this time he returned to Turtle Rock City mainly to receive tasks and supplies.
Mr. Hoofdent had the intention of asking Mo He and a few others to help escort him, so the matter was quickly finalized.
After lunch, the Eighth Master also began to talk with Mr. Hovdenter, and the Eighth Master mainly asked Mr. Hofdent about a question that everyone was more concerned about at the moment - why so many people came to Turtle Rock City at once.
"What I've learned is that some of them are people from Iron Man Ridge who have come to escape the war, and the other part is that something happened to Misty City. It is said that there are many monsters coming out of the city to harm the surrounding villages and towns, and there are some people who don't know that the war has reached Iron Man Ridge and come to Turtle Rock City. ”
Hofdent shares what he has learned.
"Do you know what kind of monster it is? Why is it so much trouble? Didn't you say that Misty City has been blocked by the army?"
The eighth master seemed to be quite surprised by the matter in Misty City, and after listening to Mr. Hovdent's words, he was not in a hurry to drink the wine, so he asked Mr. Hofdent questions one after another.
"I don't know exactly what the monster is. According to the people who told me, those monsters are undead creatures from hell, and if you break them, they will recover automatically, and then the people and animals that are bitten and killed by them will become monsters like them. ”
Mr. Hoofdent shrunk his neck as if he were facing the monsters.
"How long have these people you inquired about coming to Turtle Rock City?"
The eighth master's expression was serious, and his tone became a little nervous.
Seeing the eighth master's expression, Mr. Hovdent did not dare to slack off, and after a little recollection, he replied: "About three or four days." ”
"It seems that things are complicated. Mr. Hovdent, this time I suggest that you don't stay too long after going to the Bronze City, and go directly to the Black Sword Bay to leave this country, not only the disaster of war, but also the catastrophe of this country. ”
The eighth master's expression was more serious than before.
This made Mr. Hovdent nervous, and he hurriedly said, "Okay! I will take your suggestion to heart." ”
"And, too, you, may leave the country with Mr. Hoofdent. The eighth master is going to part with you here. ”
The eighth master solemnly said to Mo He beside him.
Suddenly hearing the news that the eighth master was leaving, everyone in the little daisy mercenary group looked at the eighth master in surprise.
"Is it the Misty City?" Mo He hurriedly asked.
The eighth master nodded and replied: "Yes, that's right! The eighth master has been paying attention to this matter, and originally planned to accompany you to the Dark Copper City to settle down before starting to go to the Misty City to investigate." But now that even the army can't control the situation, then the eighth master has to go and investigate in advance. ”
"This thing sounds quite dangerous, so Eighth Master, I'll go with you, and then Wren you and Shaanna and Mr. Hovdent will go to Bronze City together. ”
Mo He listened to the words of the eighth master, weighed the pros and cons, and temporarily gave a plan.
Although the eighth master is more powerful than him and Wren, it still doesn't seem reassuring to deal with things that the army can't handle alone.
"You hear it, if you get hurt by these monsters, you become a monster. You don't have to worry about it, it's definitely no problem to protect yourself. Besides, the local army should still be there, and I won't be stupid enough to go deep into Misty City alone. ”
The eighth master stopped Mo He by speaking out, if it was somewhere else, he might gladly agree to let Mo He go with him, but this matter is extraordinary.
Mo He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Eighth Master, we will wait for you in Wutong City for a week, if you don't come back after a week, I will look for you." ”
"You're stupid! If I can't come back, what can you do if you go? Escape early, and by the time monsters are everywhere, it'll be too late. The eighth master angrily reprimanded Mo He for being irrational at this time.
“...... Okay, when are you leaving? During the time I was with you, no one had another good drink with you. "Mo He knows, what do you say now, the eighth master will definitely not agree, since this is the case, it is better to say goodbye to the eighth master, and don't hurt the harmony.
"I'm supposed to leave tomorrow, so I'll drink with you all until dawn tonight. ”
"Okay!" Mo He and Wren agreed in unison.
"Then I'll not bother for now, and go back to the hotel to rest. Mo He and Wren will come here to look for you early tomorrow morning. Although Hovdent also wanted to continue chatting with everyone, Mo He and the others were obviously seeing off the eighth master, so it was not suitable for an outsider to participate at this time, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Sha Anna may not understand what the monster in Misty City everyone is talking about, but everyone's atmosphere let her know that the eighth master is about to leave, so she ran to the eighth master's side and stretched out her hand to hold the eighth master's sleeve tightly and sat quietly beside the eighth master.
At this time, Mo He had an indescribable sadness in his heart, although he had only known the eighth master for a short period of more than a month, the eighth master had always given him the feeling of being like his grandfather in his previous life, and even this farewell was very similar to the night when he was about to leave the village to study in the city.
Mo He saw the same sadness on the faces of Wren, Eighth Master and Sha Anna.
It was just night, and Mo He and a few people were already drinking on the table.
The little girl, Shaanna, had not been drinking, so she was the only one who was still awake and was still stuffing the rest of the food on the table into her mouth from time to time.
When he saw the eighth master get up from the table, he hurriedly threw away the chicken bones in his hand and grabbed the eighth master's sleeve with his greasy little hands.
"Eighth Uncle, don't go!"
Sha Anna shook the sleeves of the eighth master, Ren and Mo He were not strong enough to drink, and they were still asleep.
"Shaanna, be good, remember to practice the meditation taught by the Eighth Master every day in the future. In case of danger, remember to protect yourself with the shield of holy light. You can keep the magic book for Uncle Eight for the time being, and Uncle Eight will find you for it in the future. ”
The eighth master touched Sha Anna's little head and said softly.
"Mmmmmmmm Uncle Eight! Shaanna really can't bear to let you go! Woo woo woo-"
As she spoke, Shaana's eyes turned red, and her small mouth flattened, and big tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment.
The eighth master felt that he helped Sha Anna wipe her tears, but found that the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it.
"Shaanna, Eighth Master is just leaving for a few days, it's fine. Shaanna is good, don't cry, let's sing "I'm a little girl of the dwarf clan" together. ”
The eighth master remembered that the little girl's favorite song, maybe singing could make the little guy not so sad.
"Woo woo - good! - woo woo - "
Although she promised the eighth master, she still couldn't stop crying for a long time, and slowly her crying turned into sobbing, and finally Sha Anna, who was relieved, wiped the tears and snot on her face with her sleeve, and began to sing the first sentence: "Sir, I want a cake!"
The eighth master sang along: "Okay, Miss, this is your cake!"
Then Shaanna and the eighth master sang the lyrics alternately:
Sir, I want some cheese!
Okay, miss, here's your cheese!
I also want lots and lots of chicken and sausages!
Okay, okay, miss, here's your chicken and sausage!
Mmmmmmmmmm
Uh-huh, eat them all!
Ah, I'd like to ask for more of it!
Uh-huh, okay miss, here's your cake, cheese, chicken and sausage!
Uh-huh, eat, eat, eat, I want to ask for it again!
Hohoho, Hohoho, Miss is really a good belly!
Hahaha, hahahahaha, I'm a good girl of the dwarf clan!
Shaanna finished singing the last verse.
The eighth master took the wine gourd off the staff and handed it to Sha Anna: "Sha Anna, help the eighth uncle keep this wine gourd, this is the eighth uncle's favorite thing." ”
Shaanna nodded, holding her hands together.
The eighth master, who finally got out, hurriedly walked to the door of the bar, and at the same time did not forget to say to Sha Anna, who got up to chase after her: "Sha Anna, take care of your Uncle Ren and Uncle Mo He for me!"
The eighth master had already walked out of the door of the bar, and Shaanna stood behind the door and sang softly to the back of the departing eighth master:
Sir, I want a cake!
Okay, Miss, here's your cake!
Sir, I want some cheese!
Okay, miss, here's your cheese!
......
Hahahaha, hahahaha, I'm a good girl from the dwarf clan!
