Zhang Jiu Shiqi: Crystal Spore Lake
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”
Whip, constant whipping! Fast! Faster! Don't be caught up by the rolling tide!
In the midst of the turmoil, Marshall and Chun sat side by side, and both of them felt uncomfortable.
One was thinking that he shouldn't pull out the unknown crystal; The other was thinking that Marshall shouldn't be allowed to pull out the rock.
Wave after wave of sharp wind continued to ravage the green grass and pour into the cramped carriage without reason.
"Hmm......" Marshall's small body couldn't stand this strong wind, "Rely on...... A little closer, a bit chilly. ”
"Hmm......" Haru turned his head and noticed that Marshall's face in the wind was a little wrong.
The wolf orc quickly turned his head, stiffly stretched out his arm, and pulled the shivering little girl into his arms.
As for why you can't close the windows......
Both of them could only smile helplessly.
Because the lock was blown off...... Fortunately, the metal pieces that bounced out did not hurt anyone.
"That's it, that's it." Marshall's face touched the soft and warm hair, his face was slightly hot, and the corners of his mouth were outlined.
She could feel the wheels bumping over the stones, the howling of the wind.
This feeling was obscured by a strange, unusually soft feeling.
She could really feel the sound of Haru's breathing, her heartbeat.
This absolutely is! Fantastic! Pillows! Not one of them! It can also give you enough security!
"The water stopped! Stop the car! The water stopped! It's tideless! Stop the car! ”
The wind has suddenly stopped! The earth also inexplicably stopped shaking violently!
Bang dang!
The violent momentum acted on the sides of the two of them, causing their bodies to fall forward without stopping.
Haru stretched out his left hand and pushed it forward hard, and the trend of the two of them falling came to a halt.
Marshall struggled to crawl out of Haru's arms, and smiled when he saw Haru tilting his head to the side and blushing slightly.
"Thank you, hehe~" Marshall said very seriously, "It's really comfortable." ”
She pinched the crystal in her trouser pocket, her thoughts expanding.
This beautiful stone can be carved a little to make a beautiful bracelet!
Then give it to this wolf orc, as a gift!
In this way, the positions of Chun and Marshall are inexorably climbing in each other's hearts.
At night, the stars are lined up, like a group of buildings in the sky, beautiful and beautiful.
The wheels of the carriage gradually stopped, and the tense heartstrings gradually relaxed.
The sudden appearance of the lake seemed to stop spreading, and William ordered the convoy to camp fifty meters from the lake to rest.
There were many things that could ignite fire everywhere, and tents were erected one by one, and on the fertile plains, everything was simple.
Not far away, the orcs except Haru gathered around the bonfire, drank wine together, gulped down the meat they had brought back in the afternoon, and swallowed the dry food in their mouths, which was not too beautiful.
Insects chirped.
William sat by another campfire with Marshall and Spring, also eating meat.
Fresh lamb fat can completely promote the aroma of the meat in the lamb, plus some mixed spices, the oil shines brightly, and even the speed of eating meat is not as fast as the roasting speed.
"Uncle, slow down, and no one is robbing you." Marshall was stunned to see Haru's eyes wandering greedily in front of the few skewers in his hand, "Looks like it's delicious?" ”
Marshall only coarsely nibbled on dry food, and every now and then he ate the water in the water bladder, and all her meat was given to Spring.
Is this guy a bottomless pit? So edible?
However, there is still a lot of meat, and it can be grilled in bits and pieces for a night.
"Hiccup~" After a long time, Haru was content to support the ground with his hands and burp comfortably.
The lamb is crispy and fragrant, coupled with the aroma of wood dyeing, supplemented by a variety of spices, which locks in the aroma of the mutton, melts in the mouth, and overflows with gravy.
Suddenly, I found that this kind of life is not bad......
"Hiccup~" Haruu raised his hand, gulped in a large gulp of slightly intense ale, and burped refreshingly again.
"Hmm...... It's delicious...... "Marshall only took today's dinner seriously at this time.
William gazed with interest at the two men seated side by side, their shadows flickering vaguely in the light of the leaping fire.
He's helping Marshall barbecue.
Hands, a little sore.
Marshall leaned lazily against Chun's large, thick body, looking at the ebb and flow of the lake that had suddenly appeared.
The breeze blows, and the mysterious and treacherous multicolored glow shivers in the lake from time to time, and Zhisheng once again enhances the strange appearance of this lake.
"Did you find a beautiful, glass-like crystal on the ground and pull it out?" William threw away the wooden stick in his hand and said to Marshall suddenly.
"Hmm."
"Take it out and show me."
"Okay." Marshall took out a crystal the size of half her hand from the bag, wiped the surface with great care, and blew it again before handing it to William.
"Not bad...... William's eyes flashed with a little joy, "These crystals are called crystal spores, and they contain high-purity magic in their bodies. ”
"Crystal spores?" Marshall heard the new term, looked up, and continued to listen to William.
"The total amount of mana for each spell is limited, and absorbing the crystal spores is equivalent to providing them with additional mana support."
"The darker the color, the colder the color of the crystal spores, the better the spores, your piece, maybe sell it for a good price."
"I'm not selling." Marshall pouted, "This thing is pretty as an ornament." ”
"It's really a tyrannical thing~" William laughed, "However, absorbing too many crystal spores at one time also has a certain chance of causing demonization, so that they lose consciousness and turn people into monsters." ”
"Can I absorb it?"
"No, only warlocks who engrave magic patterns can absorb magic from the outside world, and my advice is to try not to use crystal spores, the actual effect is unstable, and it will drive people crazy."
Marshall leaned comfortably next to Chun, who was dozing off, and continued, "But there are people who trade, don't they?" ”
"That's right, there are indeed many buyers for the crystal spores produced in the [Land of Desire]. And the origin of crystal spores is the lake that erupted from the ground before, the crystal spores lake. ”
"Crystal Spore Lake? Is there a crystal spores in it? Just like a shell, can you pick it up directly? ”
"It's like picking up stones on the ground, as long as it's glowing and shiny, it's crystal spores." William smiled, "The origin of the Crystal Spore Lake is because of the [Primordial Rune] that moved underground, and the Crystal Spore you pulled out is just a fuse, and when you accumulate enough magic power, it will naturally erupt. ”
"Can I drink this water directly?"
"No, unless you want to come into direct contact with a high concentration of rune magic, it's best not to touch it for more than twenty seconds at a time. The magic of the water in the lake automatically separates the human body from it, so there is no need to worry about getting hurt. ”
"If that's as simple as that...... Someone must have come to collect it...... "After all, it's picking up money from the ground, and it's still so loud that it makes it seem like the sky is going to fall apart."
"They're called, Crystal Chaser." William tapped the back of his hand lightly, "That is, the speculators of the grasslands of Green." They usually work in the gem mines, but as soon as they see the crystal spores lake appear, they will rush to the lake and go to the lake to pick up the crystal spores scattered around the lake, and they will also pull boats and trawl nets to the middle of the lake to get more crystal spores. ”
"That seems to be a lot of money."
"It depends on whether they can get this money for their lives......"
Marshall didn't continue to ask because the answer was very simple.
William has also said before that in this land of desire, basically all speculators are outlaws.
"By the way, you get along pretty well with him."
"Hmm...... Maybe. Marshall stroked his bangs and held out his little hand toward the campfire, striving for the warmth.
"He's asleep." William reminded.
"I know." Marshall said playfully, and then, she stood up, not prepared to disturb Zhichun, "I'll go to the other side and let him sleep, tomorrow he and I will go to the crystal spore lake to have a look." ”
William watched Marshall run to the other side to chat with the other orcs, and it was not until far enough away that he stretched out his right hand, patted Chun's shoulder, and saw that Chun, who was supporting him with his hand, did not wake up, so he took his hand and shook it vigorously.
"Hmm...... Not! Am I asleep? Haru shuddered, and then woke up from the dream.
Chun hurriedly looked for this Marshall's figure, but found that she was no longer by his side!
"Hello." One man and one beast, finally talking face-to-face at this time, "Mr. Chun." ”
"You...... Hello, sorry, I just fell asleep......" Haru scratched his head, blushing, and squeezed out a smile embarrassedly.
"You don't seem to have told her your name."
Chun's sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant, he swallowed his saliva, and his body suddenly stiffened: "!! ”
"I was right behind her." William didn't say what it was, but Haru could guess.
He breathed heavily.
"It's not Marshall's problem, if you want to blame it, just blame the current King Charlie."
Chun's face was pale, and he suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy: "You...... You! How did you...... Know ......"
"These must be your two younger brothers...... You don't have to think about it to guess. William shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I didn't put you and Marshall together for no reason. ”
"Are you...... You! Haru whispered in horror.
I didn't expect the other party to already know everything!
"Marshall was also a victim, and after this incident, she cried all night, believe it or not."
"This ...... It couldn't be ......."
"You think a girl like her would kill two unarmed cubs...... It's called summer and winter, right? You must be familiar with her too, it's impossible not to know this. I can tell you one more piece of information, her soul is incomplete and torn apart. The initiator of all this is the current King Charles. In the same way, believe it or not is up to you. ”
Before Chun could react, William had already stood up, casually took a sip of the ale in his hand, and walked to the campfire where Marshall's people were.
Haru sat weakly on the stool, his ears already depressed to the extreme.
"It's good to do it yourself." William dropped a sentence and left.
Haru stared at the ground, his eyes fluttering paradoxically.
"Ho...... Ho......! ”
He let out a feeble whimper.
It was so quiet that it was quickly drowned out by the night's insect chirping.
