Because Crystal liked the food here, the tavern owner Mike Sr. rushed into the town's shop Pù, which was responsible for supplying ingredients, before dawn, and moved all kinds of ingredients back to the tavern as if they were grabbing.

Chystal ate until near noon before finishing her first meal, hiding behind Raymond in a bit of a daze, unwilling to be noticed.

And the one-eyed sandman Shariman also has a slight bulge in his lower abdomen, and the fierce appearance he pretended to have before is gone, and it is actually with his usual clumsy smile and clear gaze that the bar girl will throw a hint at it from time to time after losing its fear.

In the tavern that was no longer noisy and noisy, the only table of guests came to dine, which made the tavern owner old Mike who had settled down a little emotional, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the two whining bargirls after his fear faded, but with the attitude of trying it out, he begged the black-haired man to give some guidance.

Having witnessed the tavern owner turn into a giant like a monster after his madness, Raymond, who was particularly curious, asked about other exercises he was practicing.

The tavern owner Old Mike noticed that there was a play, so he hurriedly told him about the exercises he practiced and the strength he should have.

Under the narration of old Mike, Raymond learned that many practices have been circulated here far away from the tower, and the tavern owner is actually practicing mainly tempering the body, supplemented by releasing spells, and after using secret techniques to go berserk, he can more than double his strength in a short period of time!

The burly and stout old Mike, who looks like a middle-aged man, is actually over ninety years old!

So when Raymond did a detailed examination of Mike Sr.'s body. He realized that this guy's sturdy Cheng Dù far surpassed the great knights of the Tower Land, and the magic power he could unleash was close to the standard of a formal wizard.

It was a miraculous feat, and Raymond was very surprised. Because according to Old Mike, in the area around the Green Haze Forest, there are quite a lot of similar practices, but the emphasis is different.

Because the method of madness is to burst his own vitality in exchange for a short period of strength, Raymond checked his vitality with the help of the chip and showed that although old Mike seems to be young now, in fact, there is not much vitality left.

So after telling him about these things, Raymond took out a small bottle of potion suitable for the cultivation of hidden diseases of the flesh, handed it to him, and admonished. "Although the method of madness can make you strong for a short time, there are quite a lot of sequelae. You can take one pill every three years, and it should be of some use......"

Old Mike, who didn't expect to have this harvest, was overjoyed, and immediately thanked him again and again.

And when the old Mike left the hall and went back to the kitchen. Raymond, who had a wisp of perception attached to his body, found that he actually gathered the cooks in the kitchen and divided the potions in the vial evenly on the spot, without concealing it at all.

I didn't expect this tavern owner to have such a character. Raymond fell into thought with emotion. Because the potion he sent out was nothing special, and it was obvious that the distribution and circulation of resources after being far away from the Land of the Tower would be rather blocked.

And old Mike, who noticed that Crystal and the one-eyed sandman Shariman had finished their meal, had already changed his outfit when he came out of the kitchen, and offered to lead the way for Raymond and the others.

After thinking about it, Raymond promised, and after following Old Mike out of the town, he turned the one-eyed sandman Shariman into yellow sand, and followed the path guided by Old Mike towards the interior of the Green Haze Forest.

Old Mike, who seemed to be sitting on a thin layer of sand, was extremely frightened at first, but after getting used to the speed of the one-eyed sandman Shaliman. But he became excited, and after getting acquainted with the one-eyed sandman Shaliman. On the contrary, the nature of his words was revealed, and he chatted happily with Shaliman.

Cristal, who has been reluctant to return to the shelter to rest, snuggled up to Raymond's side as if he had eaten too much along the way, and just stared at Yiqiē in the green haze forest with curious eyes, especially for those small creatures that shuttled and jumped between the trees, he was very interested, and even sometimes made Shariman stop and beg Raymond with his eyes, to catch those small animals or nestlings stranded in the nest for her.

The periphery of the Haze Forest has long been swept away by the adventurers, and Raymond, who is happy to get along with Crystal like this, is not annoyed at all, although the speed of progress has been slowed down, as long as he can see Cristal's bright smile, it is a relief for Raymond.

And when everyone arrived at the first camping site in the evening, it was already very lively.

The camping ground specially opened by cutting down trees, the teams that arrived early have taken the center position, and the lighting of dozens of bonfires has made the light and shadow of the forest extremely hazy.

Raymond, who set up a tent on the outside of the camp, noticed that the atmosphere here was a little solemn after lighting a bonfire and asking Shariman to prepare Christal's favorite barbecue, so that Old Mike went over to inquire only to know that the news from the depths of the Haze Forest today claimed that a violent toothed beast had escaped and was being pursued by the Beast Alliance.

"Lord Raymond, they say that it is a toothed beast that has reached the realm of transformation, and has entered the periphery of the Green Haze Forest because it has stolen the important resources of the Fierce Beast Alliance, and as long as the team that provides its traces can receive the reward of the Fierce Beast Alliance......"

Facing Raymond in the center of the camp, after listening to Old Mike's explanation, he understood the reason, the strength of the demonic beasts that have reached the realm of transformation is already equivalent to the second or third wizards, and the teams of adventurers he has seen along the way, among which the highest strength is only the level of second-level wizards, if you really meet the crazy tooth beasts, the possibility of these adventurer teams being wiped out is very great, where is it possible to receive the reward of the Fierce Beast Alliance.

And old Mike, who also understood this truth, was even more sad, so that Shaliman, who was already very familiar with him, asked the reason.

"Incidents like this happen occasionally in the Green Haze Forest, but every time something like this happens, all the teams will quickly withdraw from the Blue Haze Forest, otherwise it will not only lose time and materials......

Old Mike, who sighed at this, smacked his lips and looked more and more helpless, and then sighed after thinking about it. "Every time an incident like this happens, the town is overcrowded, and my tavern has to stay open longer and prepare more drinks and ingredients, otherwise it would be a headache to think about the unexpected conflicts that these teams can cause over a hot meal......"

Hearing this, Raymond laughed dumbly, similar to the old Mike, a boss who didn't want a good tavern business, he really met for the first time.

He hadn't asked in the tavern before, so Raymond asked for the reason in the camp.

Old Mike, who had already taken a pill, knew everything about Raymond at this time, and he was interested in telling him all the reasons and consequences for coming here.

Old Mike, who lived in a small city in the southeast of the Haze Forest, was originally the middle-level leader of a mercenary group, and after making enough money by licking blood from the knife, he lost a lot of his subordinates because of a mission in the mercenary group, which made him want to return to his hometown to settle down.

However, I don't know if it was because he would leave with a lot of strong mercenaries when he left, or because he was greedy because of the wealth he had accumulated, the leader of his mercenary group actually put the responsibility for the failure of that mission on him, and personally led people to break into his camp and try to kill him.

"Of the forty-two old brothers, only four were left in that night, and although I avenged them afterwards and sent bereavement to their families, the dead have passed away, and they will never return to their homeland......

The more he spoke, the lower the old Mike's expression was filled with deep sadness and self-reproach, but Raymond, who was about to speak, turned his face away and looked at the dark and quiet forest behind him...... (To be continued......)
