The Gold Prospector Station is a small post station on the border between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Anasta, many years ago the gnomes discovered gold mines in the Barubal Mountains of the endless forest, when a large number of gold prospectors poured into the Barubal Mountains and slowly formed a settlement not far from the mountains, which was the predecessor of the post station.

As a transit point between the Holy See and the Anasta Kingdom, the Gold Prospector's Station gathered more and more caravans and mercenary teams, and prospered for a while. However, as the gold mines were exhausted, the gold prospectors left the Barubal Mountains one after another, and now the caravanserais is no longer prosperous, and only a few buildings remain, except for a few passing caravans who occasionally stop here for a short period of time to resupply.

By the time Cohen and Xuelu arrived at the station, the sunset had already silently spread across the sky. The two of them walked towards the only inn in the inn, tied the wildebeest to the trough outside the door, and pushed open the door of the inn called Broken Gold.

The first floor of the hotel is not large, there are a few shabby pine tables as far as the eye can see, half of the tables are sitting with guests at this time, Cohen looked for a little, and saw Rachel and Rose on a table in the back, at this time the two were happily drinking wine, and after seeing Cohen and the two, they waved their hands enthusiastically and motioned for the two to come over.

Cohen walked over to the table, pulled out a chair for Xuelu to sit down, sat down too, and smiled, "Why are you so happy to talk about?"

Rachel moved his chair and whispered close to Cohen, "Rose said that the Fallen Purple Flower Street in the Lion Crusader City is the largest gold cave in the whole Noah Continent, and I plan that after the auction, the three of us will go shopping and have a long experience." After speaking, he showed a very honest smile.

Fallen Purple Flower Street, where every male creature in the Noah Continent is surging, here, all the damn racial discrimination, war, and politics are all gone, and only the most primitive and naked money relations are left, and beauty, wine, gems and gold coins are the common currency of Fallen Purple Flower Street. And on a giant sculpture made of sterling silver at the entrance of the street, there is a famous saying that resounded throughout the Noah continent: the light of gold coins can obscure all origins.

Cohen looked at Rose with a black line, and said depressedly: "If Vandal knows that you have this plan, I don't know what he will do." At the same time, he glared at Rachel and mouthed at Xuelu Nunu, meaning that in the presence of a lady, don't talk about this kind of topic.

Rachel and Rose laughed awkwardly and began drinking with their glasses in their hands. At this time, Xuelu said lightly: "Actually, I don't object to you going to that kind of place, after all, as long as you are a man, you will linger there, and the gentle township piled up with gold coins is sometimes a means of healing." The three of Cohen looked at Xuelu speechlessly, and they really didn't know how to pick her up.

Suddenly, a violent aura of water elemental came overwhelmingly, and as long as anyone in the hotel could sense the slightest fluctuation of the elements, they all left their seats and rushed out of the door of the hotel, looking up at the sky in the distance. I saw that the sky above the Endless Forest was covered with dark clouds, countless dead leaves surged into the air with the strong updraft, and countless birds and beasts rushed in all directions.

At this time, a lazy voice sounded: "The storm is coming, let's hurry back to the house." At this time of year, storms bring abundant rain and no fuss. With that, he pushed open the wooden door, turned around and walked into the hotel.

Everyone glanced worriedly at the dark clouds over the Endless Forest, and a fat merchant sighed: "I hope I won't delay the trip, it seems that I can rest later tonight." After saying that, he shook his head and walked back to the hotel with a few companions to drink.

Many business travelers sighed and walked back to the hotel one after another, and at this time there were only four people left outside the door, all of whom looked at the dark cloud with frowns and were silent. Among the four, Cohen and Xuelu were resolutely listed.

After a while, a diminutive old man in a mage's robe said to the other three, "Do you also feel the aura of destruction and dominance?"

Cohen and the three looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Andrew August, a mid-tier water elemental mage. The old man flipped open his collar as he spoke, and a gold mage medal was buttoned under the collar. Then he stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the three of them, which was considered to be an acquaintance.

"Abigaiah Cohen, a beginner elven warrior. ”

"Emilyada Shelly, a beginner water elemental mage. ”

"Elvis Koria, a mid-level warrior monk. A muscular man in a power suit nodded and stood in front of Auguste with his hands folded.

The three of them each made introductions, and after a little greeting, August glanced at Xuelu and praised: "I didn't expect that the beginner water element mage could sense this breath, it's good." ”

Xuelu didn't seem to like contact with strangers very much, nodded, and said lightly: "Xie Lu Xie!"

August could see Xuelu's coldness, but in his opinion, the character of the water elemental mage was silent and silent, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, thought for a while, and said: "What can release such a terrifying aura of destruction will never be a naturally formed storm, I don't know what the three of them think." Cohen and Xuelu shook their heads one after another, but they didn't know anything about it except that they felt the devastating aura of the water element.

Coria grabbed her hair hard and said in a deep voice: "If it is released by will, then this is definitely not something we can deal with, rather than worrying about it here, it is better to go in and have a drink." After saying that, he didn't care about the three Cohens, turned around and walked into the hotel to drink. August was ignored by Coria repeatedly, and the originally deep city government also showed resentment, but after all, he still suppressed the evil fire in his heart, looked at the dark sky for a while, and after saying a few words to Cohen, he also went back to the hotel.

Seeing that both of them had returned to the hotel, Cohen cautiously glanced around and said softly: "This storm is not so simple, in addition to the tyrannical water element, even the animals fleeing everywhere convey an instinctive fear. ”

Xue Lu frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That fear is the desperation that comes when encountering a natural predator, like a mouse seeing a cat, and there is no other way but to run desperately. And now the animals that have escaped from the Endless Forest are desperately trying to escape with such instinctive fear. Cohen looked at the dark clouds, and a strong sense of depression hit his heart.

"You mean something very powerful has appeared?" asked Xuelu. Cohen sighed and said, "I can't tell you this, let's go back to the hotel first, and I'll tell you about Rachel's past." ”

When the two returned to the hotel, Rachel and Rose were drinking happily, and when they saw the two coming, Rachel poured a glass of spirits, handed it to Cohen, and smiled happily: "I didn't expect the rye wine in this shop to be so delicious, and the ones sold in the digger's passage are compared to here, hehe, they all have to be dumped." "Actually, according to Rachel's idea, this time I traveled with Cohen, although I was injured a bit more, but I drank so much wine, if I stayed in the digger's passage, the only thing I could deal with was that cheap rye wine. So, Rachel is satisfied.

Cohen took the glass Rachel handed him, poured another glass of water for Snowdew, and recounted what had happened to Rachel in the rock rat passage from beginning to end. After saying the most, Cohen added: "The feeling now is very similar to Rachel's situation at that time, if there is any difference, it is that it is many times more powerful." ”

"You mean to say that it's the resentment that caused all this?" Xuelu said the answer in Cohen's heart in disbelief, if this is true, then this force can almost sweep across the Noah continent, surpassing the power of nature, the power that only God has.

Cohen nodded with a wry smile and said, "This is just my guess, not necessarily true." ”

"It doesn't have to be fake!" Xue Lu put down the cup in her hand, turned to look out the window, and said lightly.

At this moment, the lazy voice just now sounded again: "Everyone, be quiet, I am Albert, the owner of our store, and you also see that the storm is coming, in order to ensure everyone's safety, the guests who plan to spend the night in our store tonight, please place the wildebeest outside the door or ride in the stables in the backyard, the goods are piled up in the warehouse, and your guest rooms are also transferred to the basement floor, but due to the limited number of rooms, each room must accommodate two guests, and the inconvenience caused, you are very considerate." I'll get a jug of my home-brewed rye wine to every table tonight as a sign of apologies. ”

After listening to Albert's arrangement, the caravans went to deal with the goods and mounts, and the originally lively hall instantly became deserted, leaving only some of the leaders of the caravans still sitting at the table drinking and chatting. Rachel and Rose also followed the army to settle the four wildebeests, and while Cohen and Xuelu were talking about some evil deeds about the Holy See's Inquisition, August came over and said to Cohen, "You two, can you come and talk together?"

"Who are the two of them?" Cohen asked after a pause, turning to August.

"These two are the two heads of the Edgar Merchant Group in Cleavershire: Edgar Duke and Edgar Dylan. And I'm the captain of the guard hired by the merchant group. August patiently explained.

"Cleaver County, that gem-rich town?" asked Shelly suddenly.

August nodded, made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, and walked back to his seat with a smile.

Cohen looked at Xuelu and smiled, "Then go sit down?"

"What are you not?" said Shellur picked up the cup and walked over to Cohen. The two fat men quickly stood up, pulled up chairs for the two of them, and sat down happily.
