Chapter 6: The Merchant and the Old Wizard
"Quit, the drake is dead."
The old wizard's opening is the most important news.
The middle-aged man who rushed here was stopped on the spot when he heard this, and then the old wizard continued to speak:
"Although the dragon beast is dead, there are many living corpses spreading in the world of Montenegro, we need to organize manpower to clear it and open up the connection with the outpost town."
"They have been isolated from the world for too long, and this cannot be delayed."
Every word of the old man contains information, among which there are also orders for follow-up.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man licked his lips, and then suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to ask:
"What about Omar?"
"He's a Perceiver hired by our Chamber of Commerce, and you didn't find him up there?"
The old wizard shook his head regretfully:
"Life is impermanent, and he has stepped into the fog."
"Dead?" The adult man's eyes drooped, and he laughed at himself in an expected disdainful tone, "That's a bad deal, it looks like I'm going to adjust this year's budget when I go back." ”
On the other side, the young man who defended Han Sike just now walked up.
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his tone was firm:
"Big Brother Omar, he was prepared before he left, and we will continue to act according to the contract!"
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders:
"Of course, I also like to act according to the contract."
“……”
Several people start a conversation about the death of the perceiver.
On the other side, Han Sike noticed Lindsay's state, so he stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder and explained in a low voice:
"This guy's name is Quit, and he's a sixth-stage merchant."
"At present, three cities have been successfully established in the forest courtyard, and the remote city of them is managed by their chamber of commerce."
Lindsay remembered that the three cities of the world, under the Black Mountain, had been introduced to him by the Platinum Palace.
Lookout City, Jiuwan City, and Yaoyue City.
Among them, this Yaoyue City should be the farthest one:
"This businessman came here across the whole world?"
Han Sike shook his head and said:
"No, Quette is stationed in Lookout."
"After all, it's a seventh-stage dragon beast that is ready to advance."
"If it succeeds, the landscape of several nearby worlds will change accordingly, and it is impossible for a merchant to make himself an unwitting party."
Lindsey nodded slightly.
The changes in the world of Montenegro have affected many details that cannot be seen. After the battle began, even the courtyard next door was in turmoil.
Just as Lindsay was thinking about this, several people in front of him stopped talking, and their eyes suddenly turned to Lindsay.
The merchant Quat gave him a friendly smile and extended his hand to invite:
"Mr. Lindsay, right?"
Lindsey nodded:
"That's right."
The businessman introduced himself:
"I'm Quit, a merchant from the Platinum City, Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce."
"Mr. Omar, whom you met in the Black Mountain World, is a Perceiver who we have hired to come here. If you are a witness to his death, I hope you will return with me to the city and elaborate on this matter in more detail. ”
“……”
Lindsey pondered how to respond.
But before he could speak, the old wizard, who had been silent, actually answered the merchant's invitation in advance:
"Quit, Lindsay is going to be in Lookout City for a while."
"He was seriously injured and needed treatment."
The merchant's smile did not change:
"Then wait for him to finish his treatment and then leave with me."
The old wizard's answer was inconclusive, but his tone was quite firm:
"This kind of thing depends on his own will."
“……”
Quette narrowed her eyes.
He looked at the seventh-stage wizard in front of him, thought about it for a while, and finally chose to give in:
"Of course I respect what this young man means."
"But the receipt to the head office is more convincing when there is a first witness."
The voice landed, and the merchant did not wait for the reaction of the others.
He jumped into his wagon and looked back to say goodbye to the old wizard:
"In that case, then I will take my leave first and inform the city of what happened in Montenegro."
With that, Quette was about to drive away.
But as the horses neighed, he also took a special look at Lindsay:
"Mr. Lindsay, I'm looking forward to meeting you next time."
"See you again in the future!"
In the next second, Quette drove the carriage and disappeared as quickly as he came.
After the carriage passed, the twisted woods also changed back to their original state, as if nothing had happened here, and there were not even traces of horses' hooves or ruts on the ground.
Watch the merchant leave.
Lindsey looked at the old wizard next to her.
In the course of the communication between the two men, the old wizard was clearly protecting himself and did not want him to fall into the hands of the merchant.
"You guys go first, I'll talk to Lindsay about something."
The wizard also saw Lindsay's curiosity, and he waved for the others to go ahead, leaving himself and Lindsay at the end of the line.
The old wizard whispered:
"Kid, you have the breath of a dragon slayer."
"That dragon beast didn't die with the enemy, but was killed, right?"
“……”
Lindsay's prepared questions were all scrambled.
He never thought that the other party would be able to see such a thing!
The old wizard did not threaten Lindsay, or make any other request, but simply whispered:
"Too much power is often coveted by the weak, and you better hide this fact. The fifth-stage awakened will kill the seventh-stage dragon beast, and the news will only bring you endless dangers. ”
Lindsay, of course, understood the friendliness of the hint, and he immediately nodded in thanks:
"Thanks for the reminder."
"But I was able to kill the drake beast by chance. It's impossible for me to reproduce it! ”
The old wizard nodded lightly and looked at Lindsay's left hand:
"I can feel a negative energy in you, left over from the battle with the drake?"
Lindsay looked at her left arm.
It is not a problem for this arm to hold a bowl for food, but it is unlikely to raise a weapon for combat.
The state of Death Erosion is there.
The power from the Crown of Extermination haunts it, hindering Lindsay's normal control of her left hand.
He replied with a wry smile:
"After all, it's killing that kind of enemy, and it's impossible to think of it without paying some price."
The old wizard didn't say much, but asked another question:
"Kid, why are you challenging the drake?"
Lindsey explains what she wanted to do when she first embarked on the journey:
"If you don't find a way to kill it, the people on the hidden frontiers will be threatened all the time. And my hometown is not here, so I have a reason to go back. ”
The old wizard nodded approvingly:
"I feel courage in your heart."
"It's a valuable quality, but don't forget to be cautious and thoughtful."
The two walked in the middle of the discussion.
They skirted a wooded field, and in front of them was a small post station, in which horses were tied.
Han Sike, who was walking in the front, said hello to the people at the post station.
Then go and untie the horse's ropes:
"Let's all get on our horses and get ready to go back to the city!"
"Lindsay, if you don't mind, you can ride with me, there are not too good conditions right now."
Hula –
Just then, there was a sound in the forest.
Every tree and grass around seems to be responding to some kind of call.
Lindsay sensed something was wrong.
He turned his head to look around, and the vines and shrubs in the forest were even active!
The plants shook in the sound, and the whole forest was originally full of life, but now it is showing an activity beyond common sense!
It's as if the whole world is a life, and it's telling something.
With this change.
Everyone's voices fell silent, and their eyes looked at the old wizard beside Lindsay.
The old wizard looked calm:
"The forest also senses everything in the world of Montenegro and responds to it."
"Come on, let's calm this wave first."
