Chapter 117: Rainy Night Emergency

The next morning, the sun had already appeared in the sky, but the sky was cloudy, and it did not become much brighter because of the sun's appearance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It feels like it's going to rain today, and it's going to be going to be a long time coming. Bantri sat on the threshold, "Aren't you staying one more day?"

Alexia shook her head: "It's been a long delay. ”

"Then I won't keep you. Bantri waved his hand, "Have a nice trip." ”

"Goodbye. ”

Karl and Alexia say goodbye to the dwarf and join the crowd.

After leaving the Ashfurnace Castle, the two rushed to the long-distance station.

Today's weather is not suitable for travel, and it is not the usual bustle here, and many drivers have only one or two passengers waiting next to them.

Tahamat's carriage was larger than that of Cárdenas, because the horse that pulled the cart was a kind of domesticated monster with biological rank, and the bronze-lower wildebeest, which looked taller than ordinary horses, and a small 10-centimeter horn at the head of the horse, some scholars wondered if they had anything to do with the legendary unicorn - of course, it had nothing to do with it.

The horse-drawn carriage of Tahamat has a capacity of seven.

Carl found a coachman with no one on the side, and went over and asked, "Are you running to Stone?"

The coachman looked at Karl and Alexia and nodded, "Five silver coins, one way." ”

"Isn't it three?" Karl asked curiously.

He'd learned about the prices here.

"Because you have to travel in rainy weather, the physical exertion of the wildebeest is high, and the car is more likely to wear and tear. The coachman explained.

Carl and Alexia looked at each other, and the latter nodded.

"Well, can I charter this car and go straight for thirty-five silver coins?" Karl continued, "You see that if you continue to wait, you may not be able to wait for someone. ”

The coachman thought for a moment and readily agreed.

Carl and Alexia boarded the carriage, and the carriage to the town of Rectangular was deactivated.

......

The carriage sped out of the city, speeding along the smooth pavement.

The heavy clouds could not support the rain that had been accumulating for several days, and the rain began to fall.

Carl looked out of the window for a while and closed the window to prevent the rain from spilling into the carriage, while Alexia took out a white bearskin and draped it over her body, the heavy white bearskin completely wrapped the petite girl, which could not only keep out the rain but also have a good warmth effect.

Seeing Alexia shrink like a small animal, Carl couldn't help but take out a book and read quietly.

In order to be able to reach the town of Rectangular before nightfall, the carriage did not stop at noon but galloped all the way, and the wildebeest was physically strong enough to support it to run continuously for a whole day.

Turning to the end of the book, Carl rubbed his sour eyes and looked out the window, it was getting darker, but the town had already shown its outline in the rain and fog, and it wouldn't be long before he arrived.

Pushed the scarlet double-ponytailed girl who was sitting meticulously, but with her eyes closed: "Wake up, it's almost there." ”

Alexia opened her eyes and shook her head gently, "Ah, it's almost there?"

Soon, the girl came to her senses and leaned on the window to look out.

The carriage slowed down and then stopped.

"Two guests, to the place. The coachman's voice came from outside the door.

Alexia jumped out first, and Karl took out four gold coins and handed them to the coachman, and then refused the other party's attempt to find money: "The extra five silver coins are my tip." ”

"Thank you for your generosity. The coachman said happily.

This trip was easy and I made a little more money.

Alexia wore a white bearskin raincoat and cape, while Carl held up an umbrella.

Jushi Town is a small town with a population of only a few hundred, and it is not even a third-level city.

Because a great mage happened to pass by, it was not destroyed by the beast tide seven years ago, and the simple magic array that the magister used to set up with a rectangular stone when defending against the beast tide has also become the symbol of the town, and even the name has been changed to Rectangle Town

Chat with the master blacksmith sitting in a small shed next to the open furnace.

"Master, where is the hotel?" Karl asked.

"Follow this road to Rectangular Square, and then to the east, you can see Old Nick's hammer and ears of rice. The master blacksmith pointed the way.

"Hammer and ears of rice, that's the name of the inn?" Karl curious.

"Yes, old Nick, when he was young, he couldn't find his sickle during the autumn harvest, and in a hurry he went out with his little hammer. ”

Alexia, who was listening to the conversation between the two on the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What a man with a story. Karl touched his nose rather speechlessly.

According to the path pointed out by the blacksmith, I soon saw the small inn with only two floors.

In the inn, there was a warm fire in the fireplace, old Nick on the counter was calculating the day's income, a few mercenaries were sitting around the fireplace drinking and bragging, and some townspeople were gathered around the fire in the middle of the hall to listen to a bard playing and singing while scooping up hot food from a pot on an iron shelf.

"In the midst of a shuttle in time

We drink the wine of youth

Let those oppressive days be filled

With this glass of wine gone......"

"Squeak. "The wooden door was pushed open, and the cold wind mixed with the rain drifted in.

A petite girl wrapped in a white bearskin raincoat walked in first, and a young man in a black robe behind her put away her umbrella and turned around to close the door of the store.

"Lodging or eating?" asked Old Nick to the new guest.

"Accomodation, one night, two. Karbi gestured.

"Three silver coins a piece, a total of six silver coins. Old Nick shouted to a girl in cloth sitting by the fire, "Betty!"

"Got it. Betty reluctantly walked away from the bard and walked over to Carl and Alexia, "Please come with me." ”

The second floor of the inn is a hollow cloister with only three rooms, and Old Nick is mainly in the food business. Each room has only a bed and a clothes rack, which is very simple, which is actually what the average adventurer stays in an inn.

After confirming the room, Betty hurried downstairs to where she was sitting, as if she was afraid that someone would rob her place.

"Are you going to rest or go down to the fire?" Karl casually hung his umbrella on his door.

"What about you?" Alexia asked rhetorically, unleashing her bearskin cloak.

Carl threw himself on the bed: "I want to rest, it's very tiring to ride in the car." ”

Alexia shook her head speechlessly, "Your physique is too poor. ”

"Get me dinner for you. Karl sat up.

"Yes. ”

Alexia walked down the wooden staircase and asked Old Nick for two dinners.

"A bottle of mead, two portions of baguette, two portions of beef stew. Alexia said.

The wine was ordered for Carl.

"Two silver coins and forty copper coins. Old Nick did a quick calculation, then brought out two plates from the cabinet behind him and from the kitchen.

Alexia paid for it and took one upstairs, then went back to the first floor, where she sat down by the fire and listened to the bards singing to the lute and the mercenaries on the fireplace chatting with each other.

Upstairs, Karl was biting on bread as he read the teardown notes that Patchouli had given him, and in a day and a half, Miss Witch of Seven Yao had disassembled the frost greatsword made by the master of weapons a dozen times in various ways—and then reassembled it.

The notes were detailed, but Carl had to do it himself to get the hang of it.

Including dismantling and enchanting, all have to be done by hand.

Or even many times.

It's raining outside, but it's warm inside this small inn.

Carl closed his notebook, because of his request, Patchouli hid some of the contents, those more superficial things, and it only took more than an hour to read them.

Going downstairs with the empty plates, Carl returned the plates to the boss and walked over to Alexia, suddenly realizing that there was something wrong with the mercenaries' eyes.

"What's wrong? The mercenaries seem to be in awe of you. Karl dragged a low stool and sat down.

"One of the mercenaries came from Tahamat and recognized me. Alexia gestured to one of the three mercenaries and said as a light-armored shield swordsman.

"Oh. Karl paused, his face scowling, "You've only been out for three days, as if Tahamat's peers knew you." ”

Alexia glanced at him, "Because you've been staying in the hotel." ”

At this time, the three mercenaries were also whispering.

"Jike, what you said can't be true, right?" a bearded uncle whispered, "You said that little girl was a C-class mercenary, and she killed a silver-ranked demonic beast alone?"

For ordinary mercenaries, there is no difference between alien beasts and demonic beasts.

"I think what Jik said is true. Another female mercenary said, "I just got closer, and when she looked at it, it felt like a sword was on my side, and to be honest, ordinary C-class mercenaries may not be able to give me such a great sense of oppression." ”

"What about the man?" asked the uncle.

"I don't know. Jike spread his hands, "I guess it's a companion of Lord Alexia." ”

"Look at the clothes, it should be a magician. Scumbeard touched his chin, "They seem to be on a mission." ”

"Don't just ask about other people's tasks, Sam. The female mercenary warned, "Excessive curiosity can bring disaster." ”

"Of course I do, Claire. Uncle Sam reassured.

Carl and Alexia chatted a few words, and were about to go back to the second floor, when they just stood up and paused.

Alexia's complexion also became serious for a moment.

The two of them took out a badge in unison—

The golden crown badge that continued to flicker seemed to be about to fly out of its hand and fly southwest.

Signal Rules:

Regular help, single flash.

Emergency help, always flashing.

"Let's go!" Alexia stood up and walked out of the store.

"Wait a minute. Karl stopped her.

"This is an emergency. Alexia frowned.

Carl didn't explain to her, but immediately asked the store manager, "Is there anything special about the southwest direction?"

"Southwest. Old Nick was stunned for a moment, "There used to be a monastery there, but it was destroyed by the beast tide, and now it is in ruins. ”

Southwest, no cave terrain, you can use the Eye of the Stars.

Detach from the human perspective and look down on everything around you from the sky.

Karl instantly cut into the perspective of the Eye of the Stars, and soon found some anomalies in the southwest direction, and the wriggling corpses firmly surrounded the three people.

But because of the weather, he couldn't see clearly.

"It's alive, but it's time to hurry. Karl said to Alexia, "There may be a lot of enemies. ”

Alexia looked at Karl suspiciously.

"Don't forget the labyrinth, I was able to see a lot of things that others couldn't. Karl pointed to his eyes, "Trust me. ”

Alexia nodded.

"Two. Shield Swordsman Jik walked over, "Looks like you're in trouble." ”

Carl and Alexia paused, looking at the young mercenary in his twenties.

"Jik, D-class, freelance mercenary. ”

The bearded uncle and the female mercenary in her thirties also stood up.

"Sam, C-class, leader of the Spectral Fire Mercenary Regiment. ”

"Claire, D-class, deputy head of the Ghost Fire Mercenary Regiment. ”

"I don't know what to expect, do you still want to join in?" Alexia asked solemnly.

"As long as you can pay the starting price. Sam grabbed his helmet and put it on, "The price is clearly marked, five hundred gold coins for a C-level mission, there will be a fifty percent increase in the price of the battle, and another fifty percent increase in the price if it is difficult, you look at it." ”

Alexia put on a white bearskin trench coat, and her red eyes swept over the three mercenaries: "Mission type, rescue, commission, one thousand gold coins." ”

"Morois, the god of contracts, is above, deal. ”
