Chapter 21: Karui from the Giant's Village
Although Lista didn't know who Neberez was, he remembered that he had heard Brin shout Neberez in the magic laboratory before, and believed that even if Neberes was not usually in the magic laboratory, he had never seen Neberez, so Blin should know where he was.
It's just that when Gailian heard Lista's thoughts, he hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, he spoke with some difficulty.
Gailian: "Ah, I'll tell you in advance, you'd better ask before you take out the ring, and it's better not to go directly to Neberes." This is a secret to Neberes, do you know? ”
Lista: "Why is this happening, since it was something he dropped, I just returned it, why should I be so troublesome?" Who the hell is this Neberes, it is so mysterious. ”
Listening to Lista's doubts, Gailian was a little impatient, and after looking around vigilantly and seeing no one else, he pulled Lista again.
Gailian: "You ask me why?" You're stupid, I don't know if it's him or not, because I don't see the face. And, if it were that person, I don't know what would have happened. In short, I'm telling you, recruit, it's your business if you don't return it, and I don't want to stop you from going to Neberes, but don't say that this matter has anything to do with me, you just say that you picked it up yourself. ”
The more he talked about it, the more impatient he became, and after giving Lista a warning with a little weakness, he didn't listen to Lista's answer and sneaked away.
Lista looked helplessly at the back of him leaving, and then looked down at the ring in his hand, and suddenly felt as if he was in trouble again, and he knew that he would not be nosy and picked up the ring.
But it's useless to regret it now, since the ring is in your own hands, you can't really keep it yourself, in fact, Lista himself doesn't like the shape of this ring very much, so let's send it back.
Lista changed his itinerary again and came to the Magic Research Institute, Brin was really busy with something between the bottles and cans at this time, even if Lista came in, he just glanced up and continued to be busy with his own business.
Brin: "What are you doing here, are you here for that rude guy with a greatsword?" That guy is fine, just go home and rest for a while after drinking the magic potion, if you want to find him, just go to where he lives, don't use me. ”
Seeing that Brin was so busy, Lista was not polite, and said directly: "Brin, I actually came to find Neberez this time, I heard you call his name in the research institute before, so I wondered if he was here." ”
Brin was a little surprised to hear Neberes' name, and stopped what he was doing and looked up at Lista.
Brin: "What? Looking for Neberes? Is there something you're looking for him? I don't know when you were so close, but he went out for something and wasn't here. ”
Lista remembered the previous request from Gailian, so he didn't tell the ring directly, this matter still waited to confirm with Neberis whether the ring was his, and then directly handed it over to him, and listened to Brin's meaning, Neberez usually stayed here.
Lista: "Does Mr. Bryn know where he went?" ”
Brin: "Where did he go?" He and I don't even tell each other about such things, but if there is anything, let's come back next time. ”
Listening to Brin's tone is not very good, it seems that the relationship between this Neberes in the village is indeed not very good, but if Neberes happens to go out during this time, it is likely that the person who went to the Sanctuary and left the ring in Gailian's mouth is Neberes.
Now, we can only wait for Neberes to come back and come back to him.
Lista: "Well, if that's the case, then I won't bother, and I'll visit when Neberes returns." ”
He was about to leave when Brin stopped him again.
Brin: "By the way, you came just in time, the crazy old man at the grocery store was looking for you, I was too busy to forget, if you have time, go check it out." ”
Lista: "Uncle Lear?" What's the matter with him looking for me? ”
Brin: "I didn't ask, you'll find out when you go find out." ”
Saying goodbye to Bryn, Lista who was walking on the street was a little tired, originally just looking at today's good weather, so he wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't expect things to come to the door one after another, and he didn't have time to rest.
Depressed and depressed, he quickened his pace and rushed to the grocery store in Lille.
Lille was sitting bored in front of his shop at this time, lamenting that the recent business was not good, but when he saw Lista coming from afar, he immediately put a smile on his face, got up and ran over to pull Lista over.
Lille is a gray-haired old man, but from his body movements and eyes show inexhaustible vitality, obviously an old man, but he likes to stick out his tongue at everyone, as Brin said, from the appearance of a steady crazy old man, Lista also met with Lille in the village, and Lille lives in the grocery store, every time Lista goes to collect, the whole store is the noisiest for him.
Lille: "Oh, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're here." ”
Lista was confused, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Lille, are you in any hurry to find me?" I've heard Mr. Brin say you've been looking for me for a while. ”
Lille smiled, pressed Lista on the stool, then quickly shoved a glass of water into his hand, and stood by looking at him with a smile.
Lille: "I heard that you found a gathering place for goblins after passing through the cliff face on the south side of the glacial valley?" ”
When this question came out, Lista was even more puzzled, he never thought that this matter would be known to Lille so quickly, and listening to him, the matter of finding himself this time was related to the gathering place of goblins.
Lista: "Yes, but how did you know, Uncle Lille, that you were looking for me, was it related to the goblins?" ”
Lille nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face getting brighter, and then leaned closer and continued to Lista: "Actually, in one of the forks in that road, there is a natural cave, and there is a small group of goblins in it, and among them, there will be guys with slingshots, you can bring me that slingshot, and I will pay you when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, Lista's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned his head to look at Lille in some surprise, it seems that Lille is not only very familiar with the ice valley, but also extremely familiar with the distribution of goblins, and even knows such detailed information.
Lista: "Uncle Lelle, how did you know this, did you know there were goblins there?" ”
Lille smiled and said mysteriously, "How do I know?" Hey, the secret, that's the secret. Mercenary friend, I'm so bored, so you can bring it for me, can you do it? Because a friend is a friend, and you'll bring it to me for a friend, right? ”
In the face of Lille's successive begging, Lista was also very helpless, so he could only quickly raise his hand to stop his more "intimate" behavior, otherwise what should I do if I was seen and misunderstood by someone who was pulling and pulling with an old man on the street.
Lista: "Okay, okay, I see, I'm going to get you a slingshot, but you'll need to show me where the exact place is, I didn't seem to see a fork in the road when I went before." ”
As soon as Lille heard that Lista had agreed, he immediately ran back into the house, and soon took out a map and put it in front of Lista, on which a clear route had been marked, and it seemed that it had been prepared for a long time.
Reluctantly rolling up the map, Lista got up and said, "I'll try to bring it back to you, but if it's too dangerous, I can't guarantee it, okay?" ”
Lille: "Don't worry, friend, it's easy to get this slingshot with your strength, come on." Then I'll look forward to seeing you come back through the autumn water, go and come back quickly, you know? ”
Lista was also idle today, looking at the route marked by Lille, thinking that this route had been cleaned up last time, and it should not be a big problem, so he set off in the direction of the ice valley, the first two times he came here, they left a deep memory on him, he can only gently pray to the cold wind in his heart now, I hope that this time things can be simpler, after all, this time there are no other team members with him.
Wrapped in his clothes, he plunged headlong into the bitter cold wind, which was already close to the ice valley, and after walking for a while, a familiar and beautiful figure appeared in front of him.
"Fiona?"
Lista shouted uncertainly, after all, he didn't expect to meet Fiona here.
Fiona looked back in the same confusion, and after making sure it was Lista, she stopped and waited for him.
"Yo, isn't this my little Lista? What are you doing here, you can't be sneaking me all the time, are you? It's not okay, but remember to walk directly by my side next time, okay? I still don't hate walking with you. ”
Lista smiled bitterly, and after following up, he replied indifferently: "I accepted Uncle Lille's commission to go to the goblin to help him grab a slingshot, I didn't expect to meet you here, are you going to the ice valley too?" ”
Fiona sighed in disappointment, and then said, "So you didn't come here because you were worried about me?" I thought I hadn't had anything to do lately, so I'd go to the glacial valley to check on the goblins again, after all, the last time it was discovered too quickly, and we didn't look too closely, maybe there was something we missed. ”
Lista: "Do you want to go and find out alone?" Isn't it a bit of a risk? You should be looking for us. ”
Fiona smiled and put her arms around Lista's shoulders, smiling and saying, "Aren't there two of them?" Let's go, you help me investigate, I'll help you get the slingshot, get twice the result with half the effort. ”
As he spoke, ignoring Lista's answer, he dragged him into the snowstorm.
For them who have already passed some cliffs on the south side, this time it is also a familiar road, I have to say that the ice element here is really powerful, the cliffs that were violently destroyed by Hawke before have been restored to new at this time, and there is no trace of destruction at all.
After gaining experience, they did not alarm the mineral spirits, and went all the way forward, and according to the guidance of Lille's map, they actually found an extremely hidden fork in the road.
