Chapter 55: The Town of Ferro
The town of Sunset is in the northwest of the kingdom, and this time Mair is heading to the south, partly because of its proximity to the Duchy of Orleans, and partly because of a message from the blind old man. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a small town called Ferro in the south, and there is a strange phenomenon in the town where a hunter returns from entering the forest and finds himself inexplicably back in the town and doing strange things.
At first, the townspeople of the town thought that it was the hunter himself who was sick and suggested that the hunter seek treatment from the priest in a temple in a nearby city.
The hunter's family was in a difficult situation and was reluctant to give up the money, so he never went.
And the hunter himself didn't feel that he was sick in any way, and he didn't believe that he was sick, in fact, after that time, the hunter never had anything like this happen.
Something like this happened to another hunter.
Frequency of events, about once a month.
The townsfolk finally realized that this was not the hunter's fault, but some kind of external force, which they could not detect.
Coupled with the fact that no one was physically harmed by it, over time, the townsfolk regarded it as a natural phenomenon and did not seek help from the temple.
Maier had a vague feeling that this was some kind of magical material.
In fact, this phenomenon is very similar to the ghost of the Viscount's Palace.
It's just that Tom's magic is more ferocious, not only making people sleepy, but also stimulating people's nerves, making people with weak resistance go crazy directly, and harming many people.
The town of Ferro is much more peaceful in comparison, just hypnotic, and sends people directly back to the town.
Maier took out the map and looked at the sky again.
Obviously, I can't get to the nearby town or village today, so it seems that I will have to find a place with a slightly better terrain to rest for the night, and then go again tomorrow.
A short time later, a cave came into Mel's sight.
It was a cave leaning on a cliff, about three meters above the ground, but it wasn't too difficult for Mel, who made a slight leap into the cave with the help of magic.
The fireball technique condensed and took shape in the hand.
The view inside the cave caught Meier's eye.
It was a very narrow cave, only two people wide, but after two or three meters of travel, it suddenly opened up, and there was a glowing mushroom growing in it.
Fluorescent mushrooms, which are a very high-grade ingredient, have very small yields, cannot be cultivated manually, and can only be collected on cliffs, so the price is extremely expensive.
Moreover, it is often priceless, and generally once collected, it is presented to the nobles.
Maier mobilized the wind element slightly, exchanged the air inside the cave with the air outside, took out an oil lamp, and lit a fire.
Then he moved the horse's contents to the cave.
Tom came back with a rabbit in his mouth, and Druba came back with a fawn.
Mel complimented and gathered some of the mushrooms in the cave before a firework was set off at the bottom of the cave, and the meat was cut with a knife and skewered on the sticks.
Mushrooms are also skewered in this way.
Tom and Druba didn't know how to roast meat, so the work had to be done by Maier alone, and as soon as it was roasted, one man, one cat, and one dog quickly eliminated it.
The pony watched from the sidelines, glaring.
Mel loosens the ponies' reins a little so that they can find grass or leaves to feed them, and gives them a bunch of mushrooms.
However, the pony doesn't seem to like to eat hot things, so he touches it and throws it on the ground.
Tom snorted dissatisfiedly, wasting food, shameful.
Druba, in the spirit of not wasting it, picks up the mushrooms that the ponies dislike and eats them.
Before falling asleep, Mair placed some cautionary traps around the perimeter, and after entering the cave about two meters, he used magic to apply a layer of caution, just in case.
Tom jumped into the cave with ease, and Drupa didn't have such a good bounce and could only look at Maier.
When Mel takes Drupa to the cave, there is only one pony left outside the cave, not because Mel is prejudiced against the ponies, but because the cave is too small.
And for a horse, the cave is not a good choice.
The heavy rain in the forest rained as soon as it was said and without warning.
Mel awoke from his meditation to find that Tom was long gone, while Druba was wandering up and down the mouth of the cave, whining and screaming.
"What a great guy. ”
Mel complimented that Drupa was anxious to urinate, but he knew that he couldn't urinate in the cave, obviously using the cave as a temporary house, adhering to the old rules.
As a dog, it's nice to be able to discipline to this extent.
Mel led Drupa down the cave, and Druba immediately trotted under a tree and raised his hind feet.
Tom returned, excitedly describing something to Myer.
"I've found a green plant, it's a good thing, hurry over there, there's a lot of it, we can pick them all back. ”
Myer's face was slightly strange, and he felt that Tom's mental state was a little abnormal at the moment.
Sort of, too excited.
Vaguely, Mel had a guess.
But Mel followed Tom anyway.
As soon as Mel expected, it was not anything of value at all, but a piece of catnip, a kind of thing that was a drug for cats.
It turned out that the cat disappeared early in the morning, but it was taking drugs.
As soon as he arrived, Tom immediately bit down on two leaves, and then swallowed them quickly, without even moving, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face, like that of an addict.
Meier's dough twitched.
Unconsciously, he slammed his palm on Tom's head, knocked the addict unconscious, and then called out to Druba, and then rode away from this land of right and wrong.
When Tom woke up, he looked at the scenery in front of him, and he looked at Mel blankly.
"Where is this?"
"The town of Ferro. ”
"Oh, it's already there, it's fast, but why do I have a headache, I feel like I've forgotten something important, have we forgotten something on the way?"
Maier shook his head very seriously and said, "No, it is estimated that you fell asleep on the road, lying uncomfortable on horseback, and had a nightmare." ”
Tom suddenly realized and said, "I said, why do I feel so lost, it turns out that I have a nightmare." ”
