The four of them took a carriage along the way to the west gate.

Chen Xuan leaned against the stinky car rails.

During the slightly bumpy ride, he couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Jensen Ironforge when the tavern parted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up.

At that time, the dwarven blacksmith kept muttering, "I was fooled".

Seeing his remorseful look, Chen Xuan asked him a question.

"Why do you not doubt that I said that there was only one contract of slave for the time of the water clock?"

The dwarf was furious at the question, but he didn't dare to lash out.

"What are you supposed to do... Blessed master! ”

"There are dozens of contracts I have concluded every Naroyari!"

"By the wisdom of the first kings of the Three Castles, even the Great Prophet of Ironforge Castle is still alive and doesn't know you... You can change the contract! ”

The Naroa Aboriginal has a deep-rooted stereotype of contract.

Even if Di Renjie comes, this can't be changed.

After Chen Xuan listened to his reasoning, he immediately raised a new question.

"What if I say that you will conclude a slave contract for half a month of Naloah?"

"Hmph, don't even think about it!"

"What are you supposed to do... Praised hosts! ”

"If the negotiation is not appropriate at that time, I will use other methods, and I can always get it!"

"Instead of being a slave for half of the month of Naroam for nothing!"

Jensen Iron Furnace's expression when he said this made a deep impression on Chen Xuan.

And his answer was simple.

"You're not just a slave for half of the month now."

"Alright, don't feel sorry for yourself, at least I have no interest in dwarven ass."

……

Chen Xuan recalled and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Retracting his thoughts, he focused on action.

This time to explore the monster cave, Chen Xuan didn't bring too many people.

Only himself, the two sisters, Kitten Lady and Dora, had the idea of traveling lightly and quickly.

The cave holds secrets, and there may be more Rose Key fragments in place.

That was the "nourishment" he needed for the strengthening of his golden finger.

This is not comparable to the average benefit.

Chen Xuan carried more than two hundred demon tears with him, and no matter how arrogant the monster was, he had to kneel down and sing conquest in front of such an arrogant fighting style.

In addition to the divided Devil's Tears, he also has a "massive" 50KG mercury storage tank.

To be reasonable, if he is serious, he can even use demon tears to "drown" all the monsters in the cave.

As for why the operation didn't bring a dwarven blacksmith.

The reason is also very simple.

First of all, it was because Chen Xuan didn't want to attract the attention of the Blacksmith Guild.

The third-order blacksmith left his post in a hurry, and if he said that it was no problem, the ghost would not believe it.

Secondly, Chen Xuan is also quite concerned about the "magic change" of the bicycle, as long as Jensen is on duty, the modification plan of the Blacksmith Association can become his bag.

In the end, Chen didn't want to expose his other secrets in front of Jensen so soon.

In the past, there was no choice, but now the situation has changed a lot, so naturally there is no need to go on side by side.

Just bring a few people with you, even if the situation is not right, it is more convenient to run.

In the future, his subordinates will only increase.

Contracts are one of his best means of quick conquest.

This is a means that is inherently coercive and not magnificent.

But there is never a good or bad approach.

What is useful is a good means, and what is useless is a bad means.

Chen Xuan never used false and childish noble statements to whitewash the various purposes he placed on the contract.

The reality is not a story of hegemony that has been glorified by later generations, and a certain son of destiny can return to the heart of the world as long as the tiger's body is shaken.

Before he has the strength to be strong enough to ignore everything, there is no such thing as a noble judgment for Chen.

Back to business.

Judging from the information provided by Ophelia before.

The cave in the Eya Forest is recorded by the Adventurers' Guild as a monster cave marked as "Small".

But Chen Xuan learned from the dying succubus that there was a secret passage there.

In addition, the cat lady gave him feedback on the situation when the Cro Leon farm was destroyed.

It is enough to prove that the cave is not simple, and it is most likely a higher-level monster cave.

Ever since he saw monsters fighting each other and plundering each other, he began to re-examine the group of monsters.

Especially after he discovered that the teleportation passage of the cave was related to the Key of the Rose, he also thought about the problem that the monster had invaded Naroa with the passage built by the fragments of the Key of the Rose.

And he used the ability granted by the phantom of the key of roses to carry out [cross-border] operations.

There must be some kind of commonality between the two.

It's just that he doesn't know what the meaning behind the key of the rose represents.

All of the above confusion made Chen Xuan's heart itch, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly over directly.

After leaving the city, the four of them got out of the carriage and prepared to walk through the makeshift stalls and the bustling crowd outside the city gates.

The two Dora sisters seemed to be in high spirits, and the rare opportunity to go out of the city made them experience the long-lost feeling of "freedom".

Moreover, the landform and climate near Magdam City are very different from those in the eastern part of the continent.

So along the way, the two sisters were talking in the ancient language of the Eastern Regions.

Rebecca followed behind Chen Xuan quietly, her face covered by the hood, her expression a little complicated, as if she remembered some not-so-good memories.

When going out this time, Chen Xuan no longer mandated everyone to wear tactical goggles under normal conditions.

It's just that they all wore bulletproof vests and tactical helmets with chest plates, and a loose jacket over them.

Strangely shaped armor and helmets are acceptable to the Naroa natives.

But the avant-garde tactical goggles will not work, and they will be too eye-catching when walking on the road.

Even with the receptivity of the fusion of the Naroya Wan clan, it is still too eye-catching and dazzling.

And it's not comfortable to wear it all the time.

So Chen Xuan simply asked everyone to take off their goggles at ordinary times.

This reduces the number of prying eyes.

There is a large open space outside the city gate, and a street market has spontaneously formed here, and it is lively every time you pass by.

When the two Dora sisters were chatting enthusiastically, no one noticed that behind one of the stalls, there was a guy with a thief's eyebrow who was talking to a bear monster, and peeked at the back of Dora and the others out of the corner of his eye.

"Those two women seem to be speaking the ancient language of the Eastern Regions?"

"Could it be the man with the slaves of the East that Sorel spoke of?"

"That guy promised 1,000 kroner to find clues!"

The guy's name is Franco Bagge, nicknamed "Old Baggy".

On the surface, he is a vendor who sets up a stall outside the West City Gate, but in fact, he is the "eye" of the Broken Finger Gang in the black street in the city.

As the name suggests, he often provides information to the black street in exchange for a certain amount of payment.

The stall is just a cover, in fact, most of the guys who come and go outside the West City Gate every day can't escape his prying eyes.

Thinking of the rich reward of the bounty, Old Badge immediately left behind the bear monster that was bargaining with him in front of him, trotted all the way along the side of the stall and chased after it, and then skimmed Chen Xuan and the others with the corner of his eye.

This guy is well versed in the characteristics of adventurers, and knows that if he looks directly with his eyes, it is easy to arouse the perception of keen perception, so his observation method is more ingenious.

After following for some distance, the more old Bucky looked at them, the more he felt that they were the people in the mouth of the garrison squad leader Sorel Moran.

"Earned!"

"This message is worth a kilogram of Lang!"

"I've got to leave some mark!"

Thinking to himself, he reached into the pocket on his chest and took out a small wooden box with ventilation holes.

Quietly approached the two sisters walking at the end of the line from behind.

There are so many people in the street market outside the city, although everyone consciously keeps a certain distance, but this is enough to give him a chance to wait for the opportunity to get closer.

But I didn't expect to be just approaching the half-meter range behind Sister Dora.

Yucca and Beria were aware of it.

They turned their heads and glared at Old Baggy, looking murderous.

This made him, who already had a ghost in his heart, suddenly shudder, and hurriedly slowed down.

I heard that those natural warriors are particularly sensitive to what is behind them.

Franco Badge, the cunning and greedy informant of the dark streets, only dared to follow them at a distance of more than ten meters, and continued to wait for an opportunity to strike.

It didn't take long for Chen Xuan, who took the lead, to suddenly stop in front of a stall selling fruits.

This stall sells [honey jade fruit], the whole body is light blue, the size is like a grapefruit, the taste is average, not too sweet, sorry for the word "honey", but its moisture is sufficient, the size is not small, travelers often buy a few.

While Chen Xuan and the others were buying fruit, Franco Bagji quietly approached from the side, pretending to be a passer-by who was about to wipe his body.

The attention of the Dora sisters was also drawn to the fruit on the stall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Badge opened the wooden box, which contained two small gray bees.

He popped one of them out and hung it on Beria's jacket near the back of his waist.

The slender limbs and mouthparts clung firmly to the fabric of the garment.

At this time, another little bee was about to flap its wings to follow, but old Bucky quickly closed the box.

With a look of ecstasy on his face, he did not follow any further, but returned to the city.

Beria, who was looking at the fruit, raised his hand and patted his back.

After Chen Xuan paid the money at the stall, he had a [Honey Jade Fruit] in his hand, and when he saw her appearance, he asked more.

"What's wrong, Beria."

"No, it's fine."

Beria scratched her head, held the [Honey Jade Fruit] and took a big bite.

With Chen Xuan here, food poisoning is impossible.

Eating the [Honey Jade Fruit], the four of them continued to walk towards the west.

Just walk through the bustling street market and find a hidden spot to pick out your mountain bike.

As for the original two-eight bars, he asked Ophelia to take them to the station of the "White Rose" caravan for backup.

And today seems to be some kind of "March Festival" in Naloa, and the streets are full of people and are not suitable for cycling.

So he simply chose to take a carriage and go out of the city with the other animal convoys.

After walking around for more than ten minutes, Chen Xuan and the others entered the villages on the outskirts of the western part of the city.

Using the exploration of spatial perception, he found four mountain bikes in the back corner of an unoccupied house, and each of them rode one towards the Eya Forest, which was twenty or thirty miles away.

While protecting Ophelia, the Dora sisters also learn to ride a bicycle.

For a cultivator with good physique and reflexes, the threshold for a bicycle is almost equal to none.

They only need a few test rides to get started.

This reminded Chen Xuan of the painful experience of being naughty when he was a child, having to learn to ride an adult's bicycle, and being crooked and pinched.

This mountain bike made by Lao Yang's factory is really good.

Potholes and dirt roads in the suburbs can be easily conquered, and the transmission and front tires are well tuned for agile and quick steering.

This makes their passage much more efficient!

You know, when he first came, he and Rebecca walked stupidly for hours!

At the current speed of riding, it will only take 45 minutes ~ 1 hour at most, and they will be able to reach the ruins of the Colo León farm.

Cross the River of Fireflies to reach the Eya Forest on the other side.

The road there was familiar to the kitten, and she had gone deep into it as a squad scout.

At the same time, it was also a thorn in her heart, and she still didn't have the courage to look at the dark side again.

……

When Chen Xuan's master and servant were heading towards the Eya Forest.

Outside a small mansion on the second floor of the city.

Franco Badge, who was hurrying back to the city, was knocking on the door.

"Lord Sorel!"

"Open the door!"

"Knock knock!"

In the room in the courtyard, Sorrell Moran was sleeping with a female branch girl with heavy makeup in her arms.

A fierce knock on the door woke him up.

Today was the day for him and his team to take turns off, after Lord Bezos's emergency assembly plan was postponed, and they could rest normally.

It wasn't yet the second time of the day, and he didn't know which stinky shit was coming to disturb his dreams.

"Honey, there's a knock on the door."

The seductive female squirmed and poked his chest with a finger.

"Damn, don't talk to me!"

"The money is on the table, let's get dressed and go back later!"

"Now, go and gargle your mouth with orchid herbs!"

Sorel scolded, and the female branch girl jumped off the bed lightly without getting angry.

Twisting his waist and walking into the bathroom.

Without bothering with the women, Sorel quickly put on a set of boxers, put on a white liner and pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

The voice of the doorman sounded familiar to him, but he had been in contact with so many people that he couldn't even remember.

Leaning into the crack in the door, he recognized old Buck.

Pulling open the metal latch, Sorel grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the yard, then kicked the door shut with his heels.

"I know you."

"You're one of the 'eyes' of the Severed Fingers!"

"What does it seem to be called Old Jiba? Or old Buggy? ”

"Damn, it doesn't matter!"

"You'd better find some good news to tell me."

"I don't like people disturbing my sleep, and if you can't say anything useful, you'll spend tonight in the garrison's security prison."

Sorel squinted his eyes and said through gritted teeth.
