Chapter 32: A Delicious Hot Pot

……

Out of the gate of the blacksmith shop, Xu Mu went directly to the adventure group in the west of the city without any delay.

After paying a hundred taels of silver, he was told that the sandstorm in Alfheim was so severe that the party would have to wait for the sandstorm to subside before setting out, no later than two days.

Xu Mu calculated slightly, and felt that there should be no accidents in the past two days, so he stayed in Tucheng with peace of mind, and because he had nothing to do, he wanted to thank Le Lingyun before leaving, and he was not in the incense and candle shop, so he wrote a note and pasted it on the door, telling her: "See you at five o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Tucheng, five o'clock in the afternoon, the top floor of the Fulai Building.

Looking from here, you can vaguely see the distant sky, faintly drifting sand and dust, dim but shining, as if sprinkled from the sun.

Xu Mu and Qi Qi sat opposite each other, and on the table in the middle, there was a pot of red and purple hot pot, and the air was filled with the hot aroma of meat soaked in chili peppers, which made Xiao Qi drool.

"Eat slowly, don't worry, the Lord hasn't come yet." Xu Mu said, taking out the fragmentary map, chewing on the hot and delicious beef, while carefully studying the similarities between the two maps.

"This fragment of Fuxi seems to be a small map, but in fact, the range marked here is much larger than that drawn by old man Degas." Xu Mu said, pushing the map to Qiqi, and then gestured on it: "Look here, this place is the central region of Yalfheim, forty miles in front of the left, twenty-seven miles in the middle, and eighteen miles on the left, and there are three grotto ruins in three places. ”

"These three places are palm-sized on Degas's map, but on the fragment, they are only the size of an egg."

"So, what is painted on this fragment is Alfheim, the core of all of it?" Qi Qi also saw it, and said with some surprise, if they really had a map of the heartland of Alfheim, wouldn't the holy relic become something in their pocket?

"I guess, if not all of it, it must be the most important place in the central part, otherwise how can it be carried by the Fuxi Emperor." Xu Mu smiled strongly, and then seemed to think of something, the movements in his mouth suddenly stopped, and he sighed: "It's just a pity that the marks on this fragment are too complicated, and I can't understand what it means." ”

"I don't understand either." Qi Qi and the Soul Demon God spoke at the same time.

"If only Charles were here." Xu Mu sighed, and then immediately put away the map and concentrated on eating the hot pot, no way, this thing is too fragrant.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here." At this time, Le Lingyun was dressed in cool plain clothes and walked over to Xu Mu with a smile.

The girl combed her ponytail, her voice was like a yellow warbler, her figure was well-proportioned and frivolous, and when she laughed, there were two shallow pear vortices on her face, which was very moving.

"I thought you weren't coming, sit down, the meat in the hot pot is just cooked." Xu Mu was slightly distracted, and then quickly moved a place inside with a smile, and took out a new pair of dishes and chopsticks for the girl to set up.

"You have disrupted the entire black market, and now you can still eat hot pot in the Tingfeng Pavilion with peace of mind, and you are the only one in the entire Tucheng." Le Lingyun said, took a leaf of green vegetables and handed it into his mouth, and then his eyes widened, his body froze for a moment, and he hurriedly fanned the wind with his hand: "It's so spicy, it's so spicy, it's so spicy!" ”

"What are you afraid of, the Ye family's hand can't reach here, and there is no domain master in this city, so it's very safe." Xu Mu said with a smile, stood up, and poured a bowl of water for Le Lingyun.

"In short, you should pay more attention to yourself, my uncle said that the Ye family attaches great importance to this matter, and even almost all the strength of the clan will dig three feet into the ground to find you." Le Lingyun drank the tea, and then patted his chest with a frightened expression, trembling slightly.

"You have offended the people in the black market, if they report the news, the people of the Ye family, at this time

I should have already come to Tucheng. ”

"Hmm...... It's useless for me to be in a hurry. Xu Mu said, unhurriedly drinking the hot soup and belching with satisfaction. The expedition to Alfheim will not leave until two days later, and I will have to go with them. ”

"Here in Tucheng, there is no space teleportation array, even if the people of the Ye family rush here now, it should be too late in two days."

Xu Mu said, and then seemed to think of something, took out the pistol he used to use frequently, Browning M191, from the space ring, and handed it to Le Lingyun:

"This thing, the name is a pistol, you have done so many things for me, even if you are a member of the Hunters Alliance, I'm afraid it is not safe, keep yourself safe."

"Pistol?" Le Lingyun looked curious, kept this thing in the palm of his hand and played with it a few times, and then looked at Xu Mu: "But I won't use it!" ”

Xu Mu smiled, then moved the chair closer to the girl, took the pistol in both hands, and began to explain:

"The weapon developed by the Zhou Dynasty, the firecracker, you know, this thing is actually similar to it, but in terms of power and convenience, it is much better than the firecracker."

"You see, this thing, the name is the magazine, the magazine is loaded with bullets, you just need to be like me, fill the bullets into the magazine one by one, and then press the magazine into the body of the gun, then pull the bolt, the bullet is loaded, and finally you only need to aim at the enemy, and then pull the trigger with your index finger."

"Sounds pretty simple, no abilities required?" Le Lingyun did it in the order Xu Mu said, loaded and pulled the bolt, and then put his index finger on the trigger and suddenly aimed at Xu Mu.

"Don't make a fuss." Xu Mu was frightened, hurriedly raised his hands, and begged for mercy with a smile.

"Tell me honestly, how many little girls have you deceived with this trick." Le Lingyun's voice was cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't think I didn't notice, just now when you loaded the gun, you took the opportunity to touch my hand!" ”

"Indecent." On the other side of the table, Xiao Qiqi chewed cabbage leaves, his six beards kept trembling, and he complained silently.

"That'...... It was an accident, and I'm not a pervert, why do I touch your hand. Xu Mu smiled dryly, he really just wanted to help Le Lingyun learn to use a gun, but just now, for some reason, he touched her hand in a ghostly way.

It's very white, very slippery, very warm, not at all as rough as the imaginary hands of the women in the rivers and lakes, but like a young lady in the mansion, self-cultivation.

"You really didn't lie to a woman?" Le Lingyun pressed forward step by step, squinting and asking, as if he could shoot at any time.

"I really didn't lie, I've grown so big, I haven't even held hands with girls." Xu Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, his face slightly red.

"Oh, okay." Le Lingyun seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and then slowly let go of his right hand, and in an instant, several bullets fell out of it.

"Scare you, stupid." The girl covered her mouth and smiled, Qi Qi couldn't help but be happy, he had been calm, and naturally took everything in his eyes.

"You're a poor stranger, you dare to laugh at me." Xu Mu didn't dare to do anything with Le Lingyun, but quietly walked around to the back of the table, and then grabbed the tanuki cat-like Qiqi, and scratched it vigorously with his teeth and claws, the latter begged for mercy again and again, and his flesh-like body kept trembling, making Le Lingyun smile again and again.

For a while, the restaurant was full of laughter.

And I don't know how long it took, Xu Muhe stopped, and then silently walked back to his seat and began to eat the rest of the hot pot.

"All Races Alliance, will you go?" Le Lingyun looked at Xu Mu and asked curiously.

"Yes." Xu Mu nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and added, "The premise is that I can come out of Yarfheim alive." ”

"You...... Looking for a relic? Hearing this, Le Lingyun's smile gradually disappeared.

"The people who come here are not all going for the holy relics." Xu Mu ate the white rice in the bowl cleanly, and then said calmly.

"Of course not, most of them will only choose to stay on the periphery." Le Lingyun said, his face solemn.

"Alfheim was a forbidden area long before the apocalypse, and even the most famous adventuring groups would not dare to go deep into it, because they would all end up lost in the wind and sand and become dry bones."

"After the apocalypse, there is even more of a polluted disaster area, in the vast desert, I don't know how many big demons are hidden, and there are terrifying sandstorms, even the domain lord doesn't dare to approach too much, let alone look for holy relics in it, you will die!"

When Xu Mu heard this, he smacked his lips: "It should be...... Not going to die, I'm somewhat prepared, and it should only be a matter of time before I get out of there. ”

"What if you can't get out?" Le Lingyun asked coldly, and his emotions seemed to be a little inexplicably excited.

Xu Mu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

Because according to Charles, what he took was the protagonist's script, and he wouldn't die no matter how he tossed it, and in several life and death trials, it seemed that this had indeed been confirmed, but Le Lingyun's question made him a little scared.

Yes, what if, what if he gets lost in the sandstorm and never gets out, Charles has disappeared, can Qiqi still take him through space again, avoid the turbulence of space, and be safe and sound?

"I'm just reminding you, don't think about it." Le Lingyun coughed twice and turned his head a little unnaturally.

Xu Mu didn't speak, thought deeply for a long time, and then spoke: "There is no way to do this thing." ”

"Actually, I don't know why, I have to do these things, but it seems that God has already arranged a trip for me, whether I want to or not, I have to follow this trajectory, and even if I don't go in to find it, others will look for it." Xu Mu said lightly, the gray pupils will one day finally defeat the demons, and at that time, he will be locked up in the Heavenly Palace at night as before.

And with that guy's pride, he must go and gather the eight holy relics and reveal the secret of the apocalypse, but thinking of this, Xu Mu also shook his head slightly, and then slowly stretched his hand to the position above his chest and touched a pendant.

His background is still a mystery.

"What does it have to do with you when others go?" Le Lingyun didn't understand the complicated relationship here, and asked suspiciously.

"Forget it, anyway, what you like to do has nothing to do with me." As she spoke, the girl moved her chair a little farther away.

Under the sunset, all Xu Mu could do was sigh, he didn't know how to explain to Le Lingyun, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to need to explain to Le Lingyun.

Now, they are just friends who meet in Pingshui.

"Rest early and stay safe." Xu Mu put a box full of bullets on the table, and then picked up Qiqi and went downstairs.

Le Lingyun sat on the top floor of Fulai Building, looking at Xu Mu on the street below, the latter's back was stretched long, and it seemed to be a little sluggish, so at this moment, she suddenly became a little worried, and her breathing began to be a little shorter inexplicably.

It wasn't until Xu Mu disappeared from the street for a long time that she suddenly reacted to something, fanned the wind in her ear with the palm of her hand, and kept chanting with her cherry mouth: "What's going on, why is my heart beating so fast, this forbidden place is worthy of being a forbidden place, it's scary to think about it......"

After a while, Le Lingyun seemed to feel that this reason could not convince him, so while picking up the bullet box, he used chopsticks to sandwich a piece of meat in the hot pot, and said viciously:

"It must be that I ate too much of this hot pot, it's really hateful!"

The girl chewed the vegetables fiercely, her little face was white and red, and Shanshan was cute.
