Chapter 11: Illumination, Danger or Danger

"Alert!"

As the wanderer approached Xia Duo, the strong man with the shield put away the shield, and the rest of the people also lifted their guards, and the transportation that had been stopped also resumed, only the white ball of light in mid-air seemed to indicate what had just happened here.

"Captain, just a civilian."

Hearing the voice behind him, Xia Duo's heart tightened, but then the sharp blade that had been holding against his back left, Xia Duo hurriedly turned around, but found nothing.

"Boy, I'm scared of the rad! Tell me, what's going on? Although he seemed to be teasing Xia Duo, Xia Duo could still feel his guard.

However, being able to have a normal conversation, instead of killing directly, is enough of a surprise for Xia Duo, taking a deep breath and organizing the language, Xia Duo said:

"My lord, adventurer, I want to get out of town, and there is a bard in the Circus of Lion and Fire outside the town, who is also from Karatu."

Xia Duo emphasized "yes", but did not say whether he was a Karatu person, if these adventurers knew Mu Yan and knew the Karatu people, they would naturally make up Xia Duo was also a Karatu person, a member of Mu Yan's clan or something.

And if you don't know, having a spellcaster make a tiger skin will at least make the other party have some scruples.

"Wait!"

The adventurer strong man left a word, and then found the steward in the crowd to discuss in a whisper, and the mage that Xia Duo noticed before also participated in the discussion, and seemed to have a dispute, which made Xia Duo's heart go up, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in a while.

In the process of waiting, Xia Duo did not dare to move around at will, for fear of causing misunderstanding, he could only observe everything around him in place, the white ball of light in mid-air had not disappeared, Xia Duo noticed that the carriage of this caravan was engraved with the [Eagle] emblem.

That shouldn't be the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, but even if it wasn't the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, it was probably not easy to pass the level smoothly.

Just as Xia Duo was thinking nonsense, the discussion between the adventurer strong man, the steward, and the mage had been concluded, and the adventurer strong man came to Xia Duo with his shield and said:

"You can leave, but you have to pay for the mage's spells."

Hearing the previous sentence, Xia Duo was overjoyed, but the latter sentence made him nervous and pay the price? Money, life, or something else?

Xia Duo was silent for a moment, knowing that he couldn't dodge, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do I need to pay to satisfy that mage?" ā€

"What he just performed is a level 0 trick [Light Technique], and according to the custom, you need to pay 5 gold coins." As if he felt that Xia Duo couldn't understand, the strong man explained again, "Because of your appearance, it has caused trouble for our caravan, and only 5 gold coins for casting spells are already a very fair price." ā€

Xia Duo can understand that if you ask a mage in Savile Town to make a move, even a level 0 trick will cost at least 5 gold coins, and the higher the spell level, the more gold will be spent, but it is usually rare for a mage to take on such a business.

But understanding is understanding, Xia Duo is still psychologically unwilling to accept it, if he is a spellcaster, then does he still need to give out these 5 gold coins?

The point is, he only has 5 gold coins on him, plus a silver coin.

"It's fair indeed." Xia Duo took out the 5 gold coins that he had stored close to him from his arms and handed them to the strong man.

The person had to bow his head under the eaves, and it was obvious that it was impossible for the other party to let him go without paying the 5 gold coins.

It's really a disaster! Now it is a good ending to be able to break the fortune and avoid disasters, but just as Xia Duo was about to bypass the caravan and walk towards the town gate, the strong man stopped him again:

"Your dagger will be returned to you."

I don't know when Xia Duo's iron dagger arrived in the hands of the strong man, and now it has been returned to Xia Duo, which is really wonderful.

And the wanderer who did not appear in Xia Duo's sight from beginning to end left a very deep impression on Xia Duo.

After putting away the dagger, Xia Duo left, and it was not until he walked out of the town gate and saw the tent of the Lion and Fire Circus not far away that Xia Duo was truly relieved.

After this thrilling episode, the sky was already dark, and the whole town of Savile seemed to come alive, and outside the town, Xia Duo could hear the screams of women and the cries of children.

A long convoy was already leaving outside the east gate of the town, and the ponies from the barbarians of the Northwest were chewing on the grass and occasionally snorting as they pulled the heavy wagons and drove slowly eastward.

……

Although the Midsummer Festival has passed, the aftermath of the festival is not so easy to pass, and the Lion and Fire Circus will stop in Savile for a few days to completely drain the wallets of the townspeople, and then take the produce purchased from Savile Town to the next place.

This is an alternative kind of caravan.

At this moment, Xia Duo stood in front of the bard Mu Yan's booth tent, a little hesitant, not knowing how to speak, Mu Yan was willing to guide Xia Duo on the path of the bard, but Xia Duo did not immediately agree, and now he was coming to seek his refuge again.

"Come in, don't stand outside."

Mu Yan's voice came out of the tent, with a hint of kindness in his words, Xia Duo opened the door curtain, and saw Mu Yan writing something in front of the table, Xia Duo didn't ask, just waited silently.

"Find a place to do it, don't be too restricted. When I met you yesterday, I was filled with inspiration, and I just wrote a new song, and I still have a few paragraphs to finish. Mu Yan's expression was a little exaggerated, and he began to read some of his lyrics.

This is a poem about the feelings of a wanderer in a foreign land who sees the people in his hometown, Mu Yan read it twice in a row, and asked Xia Duo, "What do you think?" Do you have a taste of hometown minor? ā€

Mu Yan's hometown refers to Karatu, but Xia Duo from Huaxia on Earth can feel the emotions contained in it, after all, Karatu in the original game was designed based on Huaxia.

At this moment, Xia Duo's favor and trust in Mu Yan have greatly increased, and it may be good to follow Mu Yan on the road of a bard.

"Mr. Mu Yan, I want to learn magic from you."

"What, don't you want to be a mage?" Mu Yan teased that Xia Duo was bent on joining the Mage Tower before, and even he, a bard with a spell casting level of 15, clearly expressed his willingness to be Xia Duo's guide, Xia Duo was still very hesitant.

"Mr. Muyan, that's—"

Xia Duo did not hide it, and told him that he had been exiled from his hometown to Feeron, lived in the inn of Old Neil, and that Old Neil wanted to turn him into a slave, and even had contacted the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, and that he wanted to obtain the power to protect himself as soon as possible.

"Greedy and short-sighted, do you need me to help you deal with him?" A flash of fierceness flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, he would not allow a single Karatu to be enslaved.

Since his exile in Faerun, Mu Yan has not been able to meet many Karatu people so far, and some of them may be in a difficult situation, but at least none of them have been enslaved, and hearing what happened to Xia Duo, Mu Yan was displeased.

However, Xia Duo refused again and again, not because he didn't want to take revenge on Old Neil, but because he didn't want to give Mu Yan the impression that he would repay him, and when he didn't have the ability, it was best to keep a low profile.
