290 Eve of the Journey 1

"Xi'er, there was a commotion in your small courtyard last night, something happened. I wanted to go over and have a look, but then there was no movement. When she got up in the morning, the nurse asked with concern.

"It's a couple of big birds. ”

"Is it still the kind of big bird in the Ling family's manor?"

"Yes, nurse, it's the kind of bird with a clever tongue, do you know it?"

"You know, this is the smartest big bird on the continent of humans and beasts, and it can learn to speak human language, but it is not easy to domesticate, and ordinary people can't afford it. They were all brought back from the Beast Forest. Every time the fierce beast forest comes back from training, the auction will be lively for a while, and all kinds of pet beasts and rare medicinal herbs are exchanged for silver at the auction. ”

"Are there a lot of this kind of clever tongue birds outside the fierce beast forest?"

"It's not a lot, it's hard to feed a single one. It's okay to keep a few together, but the people who can be raised are also a mystery. ”

"Why?"

"It is said that the Qiaoyu Bird also has a name called the Divine Bird, for the people here the Divine Bird is a treasure, one can be auctioned for a sky-high price, the dozen or even more, isn't it a great fortune. On the Continent of Man and Beast, there is either absolute magic and martial arts, or there is silver. Spells can protect themselves, and silver can buy safety. ”

"Nurse, isn't the owner of these big birds the richest man. ”

"That's certain, it's just that this rich man is interesting to Xi'er, and it is not by chance that he passed by in the Ling family's manor, and he came to your yard yesterday, which is a matter of heart. ”

"Nurse, when she was in the Ling family's manor, Xi'er didn't think much about it, but now, as the nurse said, someone with a heart did it. The last time was to help Xi'er break the siege, but this time it was tentative. It also reminded me that life and death in the beast forest are unpredictable. ”

"Xi'er, now I see that this person with a heart is a friend rather than an enemy. ”

"Nurse, it's too early to tell. "Besides, not everyone can be friends.

"Wang, what's wrong?" a subordinate came to the king's study in a bit of a panic and reported.

"What's worth your panic, the clever tongue bird went out and was shot down. Who is so greedy? ”

"Wang, it's worse than being shot, just come and see. ”

"You're coming through the secret passage, so you wait a while, and we'll go out through the gate. ”

After a while, two handsome men walked out of a large courtyard, and the carved beams and paintings in the courtyard were not magnificent. Compared with several large courtyards next to it, which are also magnificent, it forms a beautiful and luxurious scenery in the capital. This is the street where the royal family lived, adjacent to the palace and away from the city.

"Hey, isn't this the housekeeper young master in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, is your Fifth Prince's Mansion back?"

"Oh, the housekeeper of the Four Princes' Mansion, where is my prince back, it's not this son who has to run things for the housekeeper's father."

"It is said that your prince is also coming back soon, and there is a middle-level clan who will go to the fierce beast forest to practice, and your prince has not followed to join in the fun. ”

"You know my prince better than we do, and when my prince comes back, we who are subordinates have to repay it. It's just that my prince really hasn't come back yet. ”

"The fifth prince is a master of changing faces, even if he stands in front of us, we may not be able to recognize it. ”

"Well, this is also true, what are you going to do here?" asked another person from the Five Kings' Mansion casually.

"Go to the Three Princes' Mansion, this time it will be supervised by the Three Princes, and see if you can bring the two of you along the way. ”

"This is not a matter of the third prince's words, go in with the clan, but there are no taboos, and you can come back with more treasures. ”

"The two sons, haven't you ever been to the Beast Forest, do you think it's cabbage all over the ground, and there are many lives to go back to, look at the creation. ”

The housekeeper of the Four Princes' Mansion said that he walked away, and the two young men from the Five Princes' Mansion looked at each other and smiled, and they also ran out of the city on horseback and beasts.

There was a very small village under a big mountain outside the capital, and dozens of families were all low-level slaves who had moved in one after another, and they were not attached to any small clan association. The whole village is neither poor nor rich, but it is not unknown, and those who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains can occasionally use the furs of the herbs and beasts on the mountain to go to the shops in the capital to exchange for some things. It's all made by ordinary people who don't have the ability, and people with great ability can't look down on it.

There are also people who often come to buy things, and the two young people from the Five Kings' Mansion came to this small village.

"King, we still have a long tail behind us. ”

"Tell them to follow, are they all ready?"

"Well, I unearthed one two months ago, and it's in good condition. ”

"Okay, take it with you when you come back. ”

"Wang, those few should be the elders of the Zhong Clan Association who went to the Fierce Beast Forest to train this time, this is about to have a meeting. ”

"It's normal to have a meeting, this time there are a few people who have just passed the Lingshan test, and I don't know what they think, those people are mainly absorbing the aura there on the Lingshan, and the spell still has to go down the mountain to practice, so it's almost the same as going to the fierce beast forest to experience in a hurry. ”

"Wang, the affairs of the family are not the same as your big family, if you are not careful, you will be calculated by someone if you are not careful. ”

"Survival of the fittest, not everyone in the beast forest can save the lives of others. The king said indifferently, but his subordinates thought in their hearts that when the king saw the big birds, he might not think so.

In a large manor on the edge of the capital, more than a dozen old men and old ladies gathered for a meeting. This middle clan guild governs more than a dozen small clan guilds on the Red Eagle Continent. The Ling family manor and the Cheng family manor... There are also Qiujiazhuang and so on are under the jurisdiction of here. This was the last meeting I had on my trip to the Beast Forest.

The archdeacon of the Chinese Clan Association is an old man with white eyebrows and white beard, he sat majestically at the top of the seat and stroked his white beard and said: "This time, there are a few babies who have just come down from Lingshan to participate in the training, and you few small clan associations have no conspiracy and calculation. ”

"Archdeacon, how can this be said to be a calculation, they went to Lingshan but the family spent money to send it, and this is also an opportunity to test them. The deacon of a small clan said.

"Yes, there are fewer and fewer things we send to the Great Clan Society, and the status of the Great Clan Association is no longer guaranteed, these people who have come down from the Spirit Mountain, the spiritual energy in their bodies has accumulated a lot, so don't take this opportunity to get some treasures back in the Fierce Beast Forest. In the future, the spiritual energy accumulated in Lingshan will run out, and if they want to cultivate to become masters, they don't know how many years later. "It was the deacon of another small clan who spoke, the elder of Zheng Yang's family.

"What Elder Zheng said is reasonable, Ling Xi from our Ling family's manor asked to go by herself, she went with her cousin, and she also took care of each other, there is absolutely no such thing as calculation. The head of the Ling family said with an oath.

"That's good, the list has been submitted to the Great Clan Society, and the royal family will know about it, so it's best not to be found out and affect the reputation of the Middle Clan Society. ”

"Archdeacon, we still have to rely on the blessing of the Chinese Clan Association, how can we make trouble for your old man. ”

"Very good, this time it is still supervised by the third prince. The royal people are everywhere, so be careful. ”

"Archdeacon, it's not for us to be cautious in the beast forest, those beasts can't understand people's words, anything can happen, you can't go in for one person. ”

"Mei Changlao, you went this time to have a girl named Mei Xing'er, you still try to protect her. ”

"This archdeacon, although rest assured, that girl's spells are still progressing very quickly. ”

"Well, as long as there's no conspiracy. In the fierce beast forest, you still have to be able to speak. "It's still the old rule, train intensively three days in advance.

"Miss, I don't know if you will train intensively three days in advance, does that Ling Xi know?"

"This rule has only been formulated for four years, and the old woman is gone, and the nurse is paralyzed, how can she know. ”

"The son of the big butler must have gone to the other courtyard to deliver the letter. I just saw him riding out on horseback and beast, and he walked all the way. ”

"Hmph, it's the big butler again, he's fair, go and dress up Miss Ben's wolf beast, Miss Ben is going out for a walk. ”

"Miss, don't you want the eldest master to know about this?"

"I'm just saying go out and go around, my father and mother won't blame, you also keep your mouth shut, don't speculate about Miss Ben. ”

"Yes, miss, the wolf beast has already dressed you up. ”

"That's about the same, and you'll be rewarded with ten taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Miss. The master and servant each took what they needed, and smiled in embarrassment.

"Nurse, how long has it been to go to the Fierce Beast Forest to train?" In the courtyard, Ling Xi asked after familiarizing himself with the water and fire methods a few times.

"It used to be a month, but four years ago, the Chinese clan changed some of its constitution, and I don't know how long it is now. In fact, there are very few people who come out on the last day, and most of them come out early to meet their needs. ”

"Master, what do you need to enter the Beast Forest?"

"Xiaoxue, the first requirement is to come out alive, and then there are rare herbs, the domestication of beast pets, ancient treasures, and so on. The first time I went to the Beast Forest, it would be nice to be able to get in alive and come out. If you can collect some rare herbs, it is already a harvest. Don't think about anything else. Miss, although you now have the spells of the two genera of water and fire, you can only save your life. Even an ant in the beast forest is a poisonous insect that can kill people. If you encounter a large beast, it will eat people, whether it is spiritual or not. Those walking beast pets running all over the street are how many lives have been exchanged. ”

"Nurse, what is the fastest pet beast? ”

"Mademoiselle, it is said to be a not very tall antelope, followed by a leopard, a wolf, and a tiger, and the slowest is a wild horse, which is also the best domesticated. ”

"Master, is it the same horse as the horse we pulled the cart?"

"How can it be the same, it is the lowest means of transportation, and it is not worth mentioning in front of horse beasts, let alone other pet beasts. A good pet animal can help the owner, not just for transportation, that is to follow the owner's instructions to eat people. ”

"Master, I have been out for the past few days and I have seen that the business of the shop selling dried meat is booming, is it all for this experience? ”

"That's that, miss, we should also prepare some more jerky, which is essential for entering the beast forest, as well as pill powder to avoid snakes and insects. When Madame didn't leave, she went to these shops to purchase, Xiaoxue, wait a minute, you will take Miss to these shops, and I will talk to the shopkeeper there. The nurse said and wrote the names and locations of several shops and taught them to Xiaoxue.

"Master, this is all in the downtown area of the capital. ”
