Chapter 18: Go Underground
"We are to preach the truth and bring the gospel to the people of the underworld. But the truth alone was not enough, they also needed food and cloth.
I said, "There must be a merchant group!"
I thought Sanzang was good, so I named the merchant group 'Sanzang Armed Merchant Group'.
The merchant group is not rich and has very limited capabilities, but we will definitely do our best to let the people of the underground understand our truth. Mike straightened up and swung his right hand diagonally upwards, as if to grasp something, as if to save something.
"Oh Mike Prophet, your ideals are so lofty and so great. Cecilia held her heart in her hands, her eyes twinkling like stars.
"Oh, Sissi, my love, it's all because of you. Your beauty inspires me to seek the truth, and your support gives me the courage to practice!" Mike affectionately shook Cecilia's hands.
"I don't understand, but it's amazing!" Audrey looked adoringly at the two of them who were shining all over their bodies.
"Oh, Mike, my love, I'm going to ......" Cecilia's delightful and enthusiastic expression suddenly became a little distressed, "Mike, what should be the next sentence?"
"Oh, Sissi, I love you so much...... Mike's expression was still excited and determined, and he held Cecilia's pretty face as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world, and he was about to kiss it affectionately.
"Don't Mike, everybody's watching......" Cecilia pushed Mike away with a blushing face at the last moment.
"Oh, Sissi, my love, why would you refuse......" Mike knelt down on one knee and held his heart in his hands, looking at Cecilia's legs, his expression of surprise and confusion in pain.
Kena'er watched him perform, angry, funny and a little blushing, when she was with him, would she be like this in the eyes of others, it would be really embarrassing.
"People ignore you......" Cecilia blushed and ran away.
"Oh, Sissi, don't you go ......" Mike knelt a few steps and reached out in vain, trying to keep Cecilia.
"Alright, the people are gone, so don't continue. ”
"Oh, Kenael, my favorite, you will definitely continue to support me, encourage me, and help me......" Mike immediately turned around.
"I warn you, I'm about to give birth, and I can't mess around with you. Kenael looked at Mike warily.
Mike looked left and right, except for the pot-bellied Kenaer, it was Audrey, a masked girl with chickenpox who was a burn patient, and she was really not a good object, so she had to get up helplessly.
The team is too small!
"Anyway, that's what it's all about, so now I need a batch of supplies. It is better to have rice and cloth, which are scarce and easy to bring in the underworld. ”
"It's easy with cloth, but it's hard with rice. As you know, Sentia doesn't produce rice, and it's been shipped from other places as early as November, not to mention that Santilburg and Yuanshan City are still fighting, and most of them will be later. ”
"If you have cloth, you can have thirty or fifty cubic meters, preferably silk and wool. Rice, I'll go find Ryugu. Although Darmshal doesn't produce much rice, I don't want much, only twenty or thirty tons, which should be easy. Maybe I need some wood, I'll find the Dragon Palace. Mike said it didn't matter.
"Thirty or fifty cubes, preferably silk and wool. To put it mildly, you have to give money. Kenael looked at Mike warily.
"Okay, well, the merchant group and the Offit Chamber of Commerce must have clear accounts. "Mike can't laugh or cry, what do you think of me. "Aren't you in charge of the accounts all the time? Sanzang Town has saved a lot of money because of the vigorous transportation of Preg robbers, and small commodities have been sold, so there should always be a lot of surplus. ”
Kena'er's face flushed, "It's all spent on paying tuition for your Audrey's injuries! The rest will also be used for milk powder for us! In short, the Chamber of Commerce has no money, so hurry up and get the money out." ”
Of course, Kennar knew how much money she had, but she had her own ideas.
"Okay, well, it's all spent. Anyway, some time ago, the mercenary group went to war, and the ransom bounty and loot also earned a lot, which can be used to buy supplies. "Three melons and two dates, Mike has never cared much. "I just remembered that Centia doesn't produce silk, but there is a kind of spider silk cloth underground, so I don't need it, just cloth and wool. ”
"That's pretty much it. Kenael smiled like a flower but felt bitter in her heart, she didn't want Mike to go underground, so she deliberately said that she had no money, but Mike made a lot of money from the battlefield. When the mercenary group was fighting, Kena was always worried about what happened to Mike. Finally they stopped fighting, and they had to go to the underworld, a place full of danger where they couldn't even teleport. It's just that she can't go home for a long time, and what will happen to her and her children in case of any danger to Mike......
When no one was around at night, Kena finally couldn't help it and told Mike what she thought.
"Well, the underworld is rich in magical materials, and if you can find the dark elves, you can trade with them, so sooner or later, you have to go. Since you have found the passage and it is blocked by people, it is better to go now. "Trade is secondary, looking for dark elves is the main reason, Mike is very yearning for their art, and he has wanted to go for a long time. He also felt that he was quite wolf-hearted, his wife was about to give birth, but he was busy looking for a mistress. You can't let Kena give birth first, right...... The omnipotent traverser and the high-end mage were never prepared to adopt another solution.
"Well, then you can go...... I'm going to have to come back safely, Mike. Kenar secretly wiped away her tears. Mike had said a few months ago that the production of semi-finished products such as thin wire and small pieces of iron would require a lot of magic materials, and asked the Offet Chamber of Commerce to try to buy them, but this was too much for the Chamber of Commerce to handle.
"Definitely. I estimate that in a month or two at the least, or three or five months at the most, I will be able to come back. Mike casually estimated the time.
"Even if it's a little late, don't be in a hurry, just don't let anything happen. It's so dangerous there, and you can't teleport, if something happens, you can't run. Kenael's eyes were red again.
"Well...... Mike was a little embarrassed, and thought for a long time before he spoke, "I'll tell you, save you from worrying, but don't tell anyone else." ”
Kenael was a little curious and a little funny, this Mike, what kind of fame is he doing.
Mike continued with a serious expression and a serious tone: "Actually, I can teleport back, but I can't teleport back. Therefore, even if there is any accident, Goku and I will not be in much danger. ”
"Don't tell anyone else. Mike reminded again.
"I know. "Kena'er is very sweet in her heart. Her knowledge made it clear that teleportation underground would be dangerous and unreliable due to the effects of leyline radiation. Mike said that he could teleport back, and obviously had some important secrets, but he was willing to share them with her so that she didn't worry too much.
"Even so, you still have to be careful and try to come back as soon as possible. Also, when are you going to leave, can you wait to see the child first. Now that she knew that Mike had a way out, Kena's mood relaxed a lot.
"Yes. It will take some time for the mercenary group to be reorganized, and things here will also be arranged, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month. Also, I'm going to take Sissi with me. ”
"That's good. But Sissiken? It's pitch black, it's not interesting, it's dangerous. ”
"I'll ask tomorrow. ”
Cecilia wanted to go to the elven kingdom and experience the elven life and art she had longed for for a long time.
"Sissi, because of the magic materials, the mercenary group is going to find the dark elves. Haven't you always wanted to travel to the elves, and let's go to the dark elves together, who were once part of the elven kingdom. And there is no way to teleport underground, and the mercenary group may not be able to go a second time. ”
"Dark elves, what is the difference between them and ordinary elves?" Cecilia did not know the difference between dark elves and high elves, only knew that one was black and one was white, one was underground and one was on the ground. Originally, Mike promised to go to Comanso to find the elves, but after a closer look, he found that the elves there were almost finished because of the "great retreat".
"I don't know, but I've heard that they live underground, and they are very hospitable, and their culture and art are not very different from those of the surface elves. Mike said he understood.
"Well, well. Cecilia simply agreed.
The Red Dragon Lady was a little worried about their trip to the underground, as teleportation would become extremely dangerous due to the radiation from the leylines, and she would not be able to protect Thrall and them. But Master Zewahid was unimpressed.
"Kukukukuku, ma'am, you're messed up if you care. Otherwise, you'll realize that little Mike never puts himself in a dangerous situation where there is no way out. And as a direct descendant of his Warlock family, his powerful family would never allow him to be in that situation. Master Zewahid said.
"Oh, he's very cautious, but what about the direct descendants of the powerful warlock family? didn't you speculate that he should be an important descendant of the mage family. ”
"Well, some deviations are inevitable. And little Mike is very cunning and misled me, Kuku Kuku ......" Master Zevahid readily admitted this, "Little Mike's progress is very fast, which makes sense to explain the rapid improvement of the ability of the Warlock, and his Warlock progress is also very fast, which barely makes sense with the use of the Borrowing Mage spell." But he can activate any spell he wants, activating any gate in December last year, and teleportation in May this year, and they can do it when the mage rank is not enough. Awakening these two key spells at this rate, even a non-direct descendant within a warlock family must have very, very good luck. ”
"Could it be that two families intermarried?"
"It is true that this cannot be ruled out, but the importance is the same. ”
"Well...... You've been practicing elemental control for months, but is it effective?" the Red Dragon Lady suddenly asked another question.
"I've already practiced the power to fire, Kuku Kuku ......"
After thinking about it, the red dragon lady stopped objecting.
