Factory month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEarly winter. In the middle of the Andes is the view of Pai Chau So. But the town of Loding outside the mountain ushered in the busiest time of the year. This small town located in the southern part of the Central Plains Kingdom, close to the most mysterious fantasy forest in the Standine Continent, is famous for its abundance of low-level magical beast furs and magic crystals. Before winter, the fur of the monster is soft and thick, and the energy stored in the magic crystal is abundant, so at this time of year, a large number of merchants will flock to the town to purchase. The war provoked by the Koslin Empire. To a certain extent, it has greatly stimulated the demand for magic crystals in various countries, and more merchants have come here to purchase magic crystals this year.

"The fire tanuki in winter is soft and warm."

"The ten-year-old Xun Bear Demon Crystal is durable, one of the top ordinary three"

On one of the largest streets in town, hunters stand in front of stalls, large and small, shouting loudly to attract the attention of merchants. Merchants from all over the mainland gathered in front of these stalls, wide-eyed and selective. Most of them carried cloth bags of different sizes in their hands, containing colorful monster skins and furs, and of course, shiny magic crystals.

But the best business on the street was obviously not the one who shouted the loudest, but a stall in front of the tavern "Wanderer". On the stall, large and small magic crystals and furs are divided into high, medium and low grades, and placed with labels. The label says the price.

In front of the stall, the merchants lined up in a long line, and the people in the back looked nervously at the stall from time to time, for fear that the people in front of them would rob all the goods.

Next to the stall. There is a wooden sign with a few bold words written on it: "Raymond monopoly, refuse to bargain." ”

It's the turn of the merchant. No one bargains, they all pay weakly.

The cargo of Raymond, the best hunter in the Andes, is definitely worth the money.

"Next, get the money ready"

In the stall, a chubby young man held the banknote in his left hand, counted it neatly with his right thumb and forefinger, and then stuffed it into the leather bag around his waist, looked up and said loudly.

"I want this. This, and this" The middle-aged man, who was finally in his turn, quickly pointed to a few items on the stall. He asked flatteringly, "Fatty, I'm a regular customer, can you take care of it."

The fat man smiled and pointed to the sign next to him: "Give money, or increase the price"

"Dead fat, curse you that you will always have more flesh than your money". The merchant cursed, took out the money and threw it on the stall and turned away.

"Why is this guy so good?" A businessman who had come to town for the first time to buy asked his peers who were queuing.

"You haven't been here?" The merchant who was asked frowned, "This fat Peter, specializes in helping Jean sell goods." Raymond is the best hunter in the Andes, and he can even hunt mid-level magical beasts, and it is said that he has more scars on his body than he has hunted."

"Nonsense, I heard he was never hurt," another businessman interrupted him

In the midst of the argument between the two, the new businessman also joined the queue in a hurry.

At dusk, the people in the street dispersed.

At this time, six adventurers in ragged clothes, from the street entrance towards the "wanderer." The tavern came over. These six people. Needless to say, it's Liuyun, Sparrow and others.

Their trip to Stantin, it can be said that from the very beginning, it was in dire straits.

Putting aside the fact that he was trampled under the feet of thousands of people when he came out of the teleportation array, the events that happened after the end of that war alone made Liuyun's head as big as a fight. First, there was a serious economic crisis.

And the culprit of the economic crisis is Lin Shiting who is far away in Luoxia City. When her request to go to the Stanting Continent with Liuyun was refused, this demonic girl actually ransacked all the money bags of the six people. Men, you can't pick up girls without money. She believed that her trick would make Liuyun's flowery radish more honest.

When Liuyun and the others left Zhan Chou, they had to start thinking about how to eat. The first person in the Blue Moon Continent, when he first came to the Standing Continent, he encountered this kind of broken lock, which really made Liuyun feel like crying without tears.

The second trouble. It's a piece of news that Liuyun got from that battle. After the sparrow eliminated the mage in front of the Koslin Empire's camp according to Liuyun's instructions, he easily captured the Koslin Empire general. After Shui Han used some means, the guy shook out all the things he knew. It turned out that the purpose of the Koslin Empire's use of troops against the Central Plains Kingdom was to open the passage to the Dream Forest in the south of the Central Plains Kingdom, and then attack the Dream Clan living in the forest. The Knights of Light of the Central Plains Kingdom have been secretly protecting the Dream Clan, and he led his troops to mobilize this battle to mobilize the Knights of Light, and it is best to eliminate him and clear the way for the elite troops to invade the Dream Forest. By the time Liuyun wanted to find the Knights of Light and tell them the news, they had already retreated.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and in this case, Liuyun decides to rush to the Dream Forest first and sabotage the plans of the Kosling Empire.

For fear of revealing strength. Hundreds of miles south, the group could only rely on two legs. Horse-drawn carriages are a means of transportation for the rich, and those who do not have a copper plate are not entitled to enjoy it. And along the way, several people have no time to get money, so they can only rely on hunting some game to satisfy their hunger.

The "Wanderer" tavern gradually became lively.

When Liuyun and the others walked into the tavern, several guests were sitting at a table, surrounding a wandering knight who happened to stay in the town, listening to him talk about what he had experienced during the war and during his wanderings.

Old Peter, the proprietor, poured a barrel of beer into the glasses of the guests, and listened curiously to the knight's words.

Several merchants around the knight were even more fascinated.

"So, noble knight, the war with the Koslin Empire. We won?" A businessman asked.

"Terry, don't interrupt Mr. Knight," said the other merchant.

The knight took the glass in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and motioned to old Peter to continue to fill it, and then continued: "Of course, and it is a beautiful victory."

"However, didn't you say some time ago that the front line was tight, and Your Majesty had to transfer all the Knights of Light to the front line?" Old Peter poured a full wine for the knight, and asked curiously.

"It was because the Knights of Light were on the front line that we won," the knight said proudly, pouring a gulp of wine into his mouth, "General Randolph and Commander Sun not only led the army to defeat the Kosling Emperor, but also killed the enemy commander and dozens of magicians. What a glorious victory, the arrogance of the Kosling Empire has finally been extinguished."

"But, we won. It's not necessarily a good thing. What would we do if the Kosling Empire sent its most elite forces?" A businessman sighed.

The wandering knight slapped the table and said excitedly; It's a big deal to fight to the death with them, and the war was provoked by them, not that I have fought for the power of the Kosling Empire for two years and bitten people around like a mad dog, in the end, do you want to destroy all the countries on the mainland before they are willing? Besides, we have the Knights of Light

"Boss, get us some beer, and then make it as you like. After Liuyun and the others sat down at a table next to the knight, Tie Lie shouted.

"Okay, here," replied old Peter, and walked towards the counter. Soon, the wine and food were served, and several people began to gobble it up.

"Looks like I'm hungry," said old Peter, looking at a few people, and sighed in his heart.

Watching them wipe out the wine and food on the table, old Peter walked over to the table. "How many people, do you need something?"

"Also"

"Don't. If you have boiled water, please give each of us a glass. Tie Lie was about to speak, but Shui Han gave him a blank look and interrupted. Otherwise, the dragon on the way was dizzy from hunger, ran into the forest and caught a few magic beasts, and got a few magic crystals to exchange for some money in the town, and they wouldn't even be able to eat this hungry meal. This loser is still eating endlessly.

"It seems that the coil is gone. Now this year. It's not easy for anyone."

Old Peter sighed softly.

"Stinky boy, I didn't expect that after following you to the Stantin Continent, even eating would become a problem" Sparrow stared at Liuyun and said through gritted teeth.

"You have the ability, you take care of your wallet, don't the dragons like to collect shiny things?

"Boss, please forgive me. This dragon is a bit special and only likes to collect women. Yang Ming smiled.

"Yangming, do you like to play trapeze?" Sparrow asked with a grimace.

Yang Ming suddenly closed his mouth.

"Boss, can I ask you something?" After Old Peter brought the water, Liuyun looked up and asked.

"Sir, please. Old Peter looked at him and said respectfully. As soon as these people entered the door, he saw that the momentum of several people was very unusual. As a hotel owner who has been in the market all year round, he receives some customers from all over the world every day, and there are quite a few people in the past few years, but there are not too many people who can leave a deep impression on him. And these people in front of him, he only looked at it once, and he couldn't forget it if he wanted to.

The young man who asked him now did not look very old, but his gestures naturally revealed a sense of nobility. Those bright eyes contain the vicissitudes and wisdom of insight into the world, which ordinary people do not have. And, judging by the attitude of the rest of the people towards him, he seems to be the leader of these people. Old Peter had to be careful and treat him with great respect.

"I'd like to ask about Fantasy Forest. Liuyun smiled. That smile made old Peter feel like a spring breeze.

"Dream Forest?" When Old Peter heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Sir, are you going to inquire about the Dream Forest?"

"Hmm. Liuyun nodded.

Old Peter straightened out his thoughts and said slowly: "Sir, I know very little about the affairs of the Dream Forest, and I may not be able to help you. All I know is that it is located deep in the Andes Mountains, and it is inhabited by the Dream Clan, and there are many high-level magical beasts. As for the Dream Clan, it is said to be the most mysterious race in the Stantin Continent, with many strange abilities, hidden in the forest for a long time, living an indisputable life

Speaking of this, Old Peter paused, looked around, and whispered: "Sir, you'd better not go to the Dream Forest, disturb the people of the Dream Clan, the result is not good." I run a hotel here, and I've met many people who want to make money in the Dream Forest, but very few people make it back alive. ”

He had an inexplicable affection for these adventurers, and couldn't help but remind.

"We don't want to disturb their peaceful lives, we just ask around. Liuqi laughed.

"That's good, that's good. Old Peter said with a smile.

"Is that all?"

"That's all I know. ”

With a hint of disappointment in the young man's eyes, Old Peter added, "However, I know a man who has been to the edge of the Dream Forest, and perhaps he can help you." ”

"Oh?"

"You rest for a while, he may come later. I'll introduce you then. Old Peter said. "As for whether he will tell you, I dare not vouch for it. ”

"Well, thank you in advance," Liuyun nodded.

"Mr. Knight. What else do you have for us?" The conversation at the adjacent table continued, and a businessman, apparently unsatisfied, continued to ask.

The knight smiled. He looked at the empty glass in front of him. If you want to hear a story, please have a drink.

"Old Peter, some more wine, and let Mr. Knight have a good drink," said the merchant boldly. A successful businessman. He is often good at finding business opportunities suitable for himself from all kinds of information, and he obviously wants to use wine to get the words out of the knight's mouth.

When the wine was full, the knight drank his glass of pleasure.

After wiping the foam from his mouth, he continued: "I recently got an amazing piece of news. I heard that the sandmen in the desert of Isanna. Organized a powerful cavalry and knocked the army of the Koslin Empire back one after another."

"I've heard this news for a long time. "The businessman feels a bit of a loss.

"Then do you know who led this cavalry to fight against the Kosling Empire?" The knight sold the guanzi.

The merchant shook his head: "Say it quickly"

The people around them craned their necks and waited. Liuyun and others at the adjacent table. His ears were pricked up, too.

"At the head of this cavalry are two women," said the knight with a mysterious expression.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it?"

"Two women defeated the Koslindi?"

The crowd was talking about it.

"Yes, two women. One of them is the new collar of the sandmen. As for the other one, no one knows where she came from, and no one has ever seen her. ”

Liuyun hears this. I couldn't help but shudder violently.

Naya's beautiful face. Suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. After experiencing the pain of loss. After tasting the happiness of being a father for the first time, he finally tasted her deep feelings for him. She left, but tied a long wisp of lovesickness to him forever.

For many nights, he would be alone reminiscing about his acquaintance with Naya, and every time he thought about it, his heart would be filled with pain. He even hated his own ruthlessness and ignorance, feeling that he had single-handedly pushed her to a desperate situation.

"Could it be her?" Liuyun's heart beat excitedly.

"It is said that the Sandman was able to defeat the Kosling Emperor mainly due to her. She not only helped the Sand Leader unify the Black Sand and White Sands, but also drove the army of Koslinwa out of the Great Desert. Now in the Isana Desert, Zongcang is criticized," the knight smirked. In the current Stantin Continent, although the Kosling Empire is a single country, it has also become a thorn in the side of the people of all countries. No matter who it is, as long as he dares to go against the Kosling Empire, it must be a hero of the continent.

"Amazing woman," the merchant lamented, "it seems that it will not be so easy for the Kosling Empire to dominate the continent alone."

"Of course. Even the power of the free city-states is slowly recovering. The Kosling Empire is now like a flea with ten fingers, and it doesn't know where to press it," the knight laughed.

"Boss, could it be Her Royal Highness the Princess?" The knight's story stopped for a moment, and Yang Ming whispered

Road.

"You ask me, and who do I ask?" Liuyun smiled bitterly, "But." I'll definitely check it out when it's over here. ”

"When are you going to the Elven Forest?" Sparrow asked with a disgruntled glance at him.

"Do you know where the Elven Forest is?" Liuyun snorted. "If you knew, you would take us there now. ”

Along the way, they had already inquired about the location of the Elven Forest countless times. But those who were asked looked at them blankly.

Hearing this, the sparrow froze: "Where are these elves hiding, damn boy, let me tell you, if you don't help me find them, none of us will have a good life."

"Old Uncle Peter. I've got game for you

A low, gentle, touchy voice sounded outside the store, as comfortable as the evening sun, and immediately attracted people's attention.

The young man who appeared at the door, wearing a rusty set of tattered armor. He had a dagger in a holster hanging from his waist. He carried a hard bow commonly used by hunters on his shoulder, and an ice wolf in his right hand, which looked to weigh sixty or seventy pounds.

The exposed arms and legs are evenly distributed with slender muscles. On the white skin, some traces of injury can be faintly seen, but there is no real scar.

With a casually tied black head, a pair of bright, rare black eyes, and a face with hard lines, the whole person looks extraordinary.

"Strange thing," Liuyun looked up at the young hunter at the door in surprise. There was a gleam in his eyes. As soon as the young man appeared at the door, a strange feeling rose in his body, and the cyclone in his body actually moved. This young man, whom he had never met, seemed to give birth to some kind of induction, what was going on?

"Good fellow, such a fat ice wolf Raymond, you will always give me unexpected surprises" Old Peter called the man to take the ice wolf in the young man's hand, and happily took his hand, "Have a drink, uncle invites you"

The young man known as Raymond smiled and refused: "No, thank you, Uncle Peter Jr."

Little Peter walked out of the house, went straight to Raymond, and stuffed a stack of banknotes into Raymond's hand: "The goods are all sold, this is money"

Fleshy face. The profiteer's face was gone, and with a pleasant smile, he seemed to have done something very deliberate.

"It's been a hard day, you can take the money," Raymond pulled out a crumpled bill and handed it to Peter.

Peter pushed Jean's hand back and smiled, "Give it back to me when you get rich." ”

"If you wait for my wealth, I'm afraid you'll wait for the white head. Raymond laughed.

"I believe that when you go into the city to meet your sweetheart, dress decently, don't be too shabby"

Peter patted Raymond on the shoulder, tugging at his fur jacket and said.

"Hey, Raymond"

When the two were talking. A bald man about 1.9 meters tall walked into the store and greeted Raymond. His whole body was full of bulging muscles, and he looked a little clumsy. Bare head. It also has a striking vulture tattoo on the top.

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the side of the big man, and on tiptoe, he reached out and rubbed his fat hand on the big man's smooth head: "Robin, your bird is still there."

"Take your pig's trotters away, dead fatty, you move my sacred pattern again, I'll tear you" Robin slapped his hand away from his head and said to Raymond, "The gift is ready, don't forget to tell Sister Beth and Robin's credit"

"Well, I will. Raymond stepped forward and handed over the bill that Peter had refused.

"Save a bit, Robin. ”

"Vampire" Peter walked towards the counter of the store with a mutter, took a bottle of wine, turned around, and said in Raymond's tone:

"Save some drinks. Luo Gong"

Looking at the warm scene of the three-person room, a smile appeared on Liuyun's face. He thought of his former brothers, those who did good and bad things together.

"Raymond, why didn't you go to the Knights of Light in the first place?" said Old Peter as he came to the three of them and sighed.

"What chance?"

"I heard that the Knights of Light fought a great victory on the front line, defeated the invaders of the Koslin Empire, and now they are the heroes of our country, you are going, and you will come out"

"Knights of Light?" Raymond pondered.

"The knights mentioned by the officer who came to town two years to recruit people?" Raymond suddenly remembered. He remembered that one of the officers liked him very much, saying that he had potential, and if he agreed to join the army, he would recommend it to the Knights of Light.

This news once made the town boil, because it was a famous knight order on the mainland. But Raymond gave up, for the sake of his family.

"Yes, it seems that your boy's luck has not yet arrived," sighed old Peter.

"Hehe, uncle. I didn't want to be a hero," Raymond smiled, "I'd better deliver it to you honestly"

"Oh yes. Come here, I'll tell you something. Old Peter sighed and beckoned to him.

After the two talked quietly for a moment, Old Peter led Raymond towards Liuyun.

"Hello sir, this is Raymond, the best hunter in our town. Old Peter lowered his voice, "He is the only one who has ever been to the edge of the Dreamy Forest. What questions you have to ask him. ”

"Thank you. Liuyun nodded.

"Hello, sir. May I ask how Raymond can help you?" Raymond stepped forward and held out his hand to Liuyun.

The two hands were clasped together.

A warm feeling came from Raymond's body, which suddenly made Liuyun feel his palm hot, and the cyclone in his body moved again.

"What is the reason?" Liuyun was puzzled.

And Raymond, who was standing in front of him, also looked at him with a surprised face. ,。.。
