Chapter Ninety-Five: The Fellow Sees the Fellow
Nick took a letter from his close-fitting pocket and handed it to Thor, "This is a letter from Mentor Rum to Millsail Town, and I need you to take a detour to send it there." The coachman knows the place. ”
Thor took the letter and found that it was not sealed, ready to take it out and look at it.
"Is there any taboo on this? Can I watch it? ”
"Of course you can see it, this is for ordinary people. There are at most two first-level apprentices in Mofan Town, and they are all rubbish, and they are not enough for you to kill with one hand. ”
Nick reassures Saul.
"The town of Mofan is located on the border of the Principality of Knema, next to the disputed area on the border with the Principality of Knas, and the situation is a little more complicated. However, they will provide Tari with the special product of the mill fruit every year, and Tari will give them some shelter. ”
Nick motioned for Thor to open the letter and take a look at it first.
Thor opened the letter and saw rows of elegant flower-style characters, and Rum's slender three-fold arms automatically came to mind.
The content of the letter was simple, which was to rebuke the town of Mofan for the decline in the quantity and quality of the tributes submitted recently. If this continues, the Gorsa Wizard Tower will take back its protection from Millsail.
"Do you need me to collect the tribute?" Saul didn't know if he could hold down his 14-year-old appearance in the past.
"That's not necessary, there will be a special third-level senior to collect it every summer. After all, that thing still has some experimental value. ”
Although no one dared to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, Nick moved slightly closer to Thor to lower his voice.
"Also, you have two options for going to Mill Sail Town this time. One is to go straight to them, reprimand them for Mentor Rum, and then enjoy them, eat and take cards. ”
"Or investigate a little bit of the reason for the decrease in the yield of their grinding sound fruit, and reappear to eat and take the card."
"If you can investigate the cause, you don't have to deal with them, just report it to Mentor Rum when you go back. But if they dare to be disrespectful to you, you only have to think that you represent the Wizard Tower, and you should know what to do. ”
Nick gives Thor the task and leaves with the team.
Leave Thor and the coachman behind and continue along the original route.
The town of Millsail was not far from where they had separated, and Thor had only been on the road for a day before it was dark to reach the eastern outskirts of the town.
There are two ways to complete the quest that Nick gives to Thor, but it also corresponds to two different quest rewards.
Although Thor is not a detective, he covets the second quest reward item, so he decides to try to investigate it first.
He asked the coachman to wait in the suburbs, and he performed a magic trick himself, changing the clothes on his body.
Now he was dressed in tatters like a wanderer in the wilderness, and his hands were no longer black, but ordinary of the same color.
Before Thor left, the coachman silently handed over a small bag of coins.
There were a dozen silver coins and scattered copper coins in the money bag. The coins are all minted with exquisite patterns, not quite like the things that can be minted in this environment and productivity, and I think there is a witchcraft effect.
Thor carried a few copper coins on his body, and put the others in his arms.
He still doesn't know the purchasing power of these coins, and he is afraid that taking too much of them will affect his own lurking.
Separated from the coachman, Thor picked up a stick on the side of the road and walked on his crutches, feeling more like the outcasts.
There are not many laymen in Mofan Town.
Thor imitated the appearance of the pedestrians on the road, changed his demeanor, and slowly approached the town not far away.
From the outside, Mofan Town is quite large.
A ring of walls was built around the town, which looked very old and dilapidated under the baptism of wind and sand.
There are also several rows of old houses outside the fence, and from the outside, it is clear that the living conditions of the owners are not very good.
There is also a small area of cultivated land outside the town.
As Thor passed by the ploughland, he saw a swarthy young man ploughing the ground with a hoe.
When the other party reached the end of a ridge, he straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, just in time to meet the eyes of Thor who was observing him.
Thor saw the other man's face and thought that he might still be a teenager.
Thor turned his head indifferently, leaning on his stick, ready to leave.
"Thor?"
Behind him, there was an uncertain shout from the other party.
Thor paused, looking back in confusion.
How could anyone call his name?
When Thor turned around, he saw that the young man had rushed over with a hoe, his face full of excitement.
"Thor, it's really you! When I rushed out of the village and didn't see you, I thought you had died at the hands of the barbarians. ”
"You are?" Thor looked confused, but thought in his heart that he should have met someone who knew the original owner.
"I'm Ada, haha, it's changed a lot, you haven't changed much, you're still like a thin monkey. But how the hell did you get out of the village? I thought you were dead and you've been crying for a long time, hahaha. The young man named Ada did not shy away from patting Thor's shoulder with his big hand.
He looked at Thor still with a confused expression, and the smile on his face narrowed a little.
"You don't remember me? I used to live right next door to you. When you were ten years old, you said that you would wait for my sister to grow up and marry her, and then I beat you up...... Have you forgotten? ”
"I ...... I really don't remember. Thor said through gritted teeth.
That's the original owner's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
In this case, Thor actually ignored him and walked away. But Thor thought of the town ahead, and his tone was eagerly inquiring.
"Ada, do you live in Mofan Town?"
Noticing Thor's eyes, Ada hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Yes, my sister and I live in the town now. But renting a small courtyard, life is also quite hard. ”
Thor smiled, "Great, Ada, I'm just thinking about going to Mofan Town to settle down. But I've been wandering outside for a long time, and I don't have much money on me, can I go to your house for a few days? I promised to move out when I found a job. ”
The abrupt and straightforward request is the most difficult for honest people to refuse.
"Well, well, we don't have much to live in." Ada's hand holding the hoe kept tightening, and the hoe was about to dig a hole in the ground.
Thor inhaled, reached out and touched his flat belly, and said pitifully, "I can sleep on the ground." I haven't eaten for a few days, and I heard that Mofan Town is a good place, so I traveled for several days to get here. If I don't get to the town, I'm afraid I'll die in the wild. ”
Thor raised his head, his eyebrows and mouth shrunk.
"Please, Ada, for our sake."
Ada looked at Thor's dusty, emaciated face, pale and purple lips, and his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he thought.
"Okay, but I can only give you a place to live, and you can only eat and eat green buns. You'll have to get to town as soon as possible to find work. ”
"Hey, good!" Thor agreed, smiling again.
Ada glanced at the fields, and then at the sun that began to set in the distance.
"Forget it, that's it for today." Ada walked to the field, picked up the basket he had hidden under the ridges, and came back.
"Let's go. Hey......"
Ada walked ahead and sighed.
Thor didn't have any trouble bullying honest people at all, and followed Ada in the direction of the town.
There were other people on the road who farmed like Ada, some of them would say hello to Ada, and some would just glance at him indifferently and then bow their heads and continue to work.
"Ada, what a nice town you have! Much more peaceful than where I used to live. ”
Ada's figure froze, but he only said in a muffled voice: "It's not as good as you think." Just remember not to meddle in your business and do your job. Maybe you can build a house outside the town and ask for a wife in the future. ”
