On the walking carriage, the merchant saw from a distance a tall man with a stake on his shoulder and looking leisurely. Laura holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and Pierce holds the hilt of the sword and slowly draws it.

Merchant: "Calm down, the other party doesn't seem to have malicious intent." ”

The two hunters did not change their movements, and their eyes never took off their targets.

As the carriage approached, the merchant said, "Good afternoon, sir." ”

Tall Chopper: "Good afternoon, everyone. ”

Merchant: "My name is Merchant, this is Laura, this is Pierce, and there is one of our companions Gerak sleeping in it, and we are on our way to Wolf Hide. ”

Tall Chopper: "My name is Chopper, the merchant is a strange name, what are you doing in Wolf Hidden Town?"

Merchant: "I'm a businessman who travels around selling all sorts of goods to make a living. ”

Big man Chopper: "So you came to Wolf Hidden Town to do business? No one in the town has the money to buy something that is not practical." ”

Merchant: "It's just one of the points, it's more important that we need a place to rest and replenish our supplies, we have forgotten the last time we slept in a soft bed and drank a sip of hot soup, of course, it would be best if we could still make a little money in the meantime." ”

Big Chopper: "It's not a big problem about the requirements in front, as long as you don't pick on them, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in the back, control your horse, come with me." ”

Laura: "No, no, we can find our way." ”

Laura interjected, in a bad tone and resolute, Pierce leaned forward and showed his attitude, Chopper was not displeased, he looked at the two carefully.

Big Chopper: "Businessman, huh...... Equipped businessmen, that's really rare. ”

Laura: "There are a lot of accidents on the road, you need to be prepared for this, who knows if a guy who shows up halfway is a good person?"

Big Chopper: "Indeed, you're right, so be it." ”

Chopper moved away to give way of his gaze, and not far away was a three-way road that winded and separated.

......

...

Finally, under the coordination of the merchant, the carriage slowly followed behind Chopper. The road to Wolf Hidden Town is more complicated than expected, after the first three-way road is a two-way road, and now they are ready to go through a four-way road, turning left and right like a labyrinth, without the leadership of the townspeople, it is really not possible to find Wolf Hidden Town, and it should be thankful that they are not lost.

Laura: "Mr. Merchant, we shouldn't trust a stranger so easily, especially a guy who suddenly appears in such a remote place. ”

Big Chopper: "I can hear ma'am." ”

Laura: "I don't mind. ”

Chopper shrugged.

Merchant: "Don't worry, I don't believe him, it's just that we just need it, we still have you and Pierce here, and my old friend Black Wind, let's adapt according to the situation." ”

Laura didn't refute by default, she shouldn't think about "and Laura and Pierce are there" but "only Laura and Pierce are there", there is a stupid pig who hasn't woken up yet, and as for this dark horse, Laura thinks that a fast horse can't play much of a role because it's not a horse racing game. But since the businessmen have said so, Laura has no choice but to admit it, after all, it's too late to turn around now, and it is enough to silently complete her responsibilities.

The merchant shifted the target of the conversation: "Does Mr. Chopper need to do anything around here carrying a stake alone?"

Big Chopper: "Please don't call me 'sir', come on, it makes me feel uncomfortable, oh my god I almost can't hold this stake." I don't need to be a businessman here, but how comfortable it is to shout, and a well-dressed man like you deserves it. This guy thicker than my thighs has another use, I found it around here, and I happen to have the place to take it to the extreme, so like now, I'm taking it back to town. ”

Merchant: "I think it's not easy to use such a stake. ”

Big Chopper: "It's not Mr. Merchant, you need more than a stake, but that's right, it's not an easy thing to do, and it's a thing full of honor." ”

Merchant: "Well, it's curious to be so proud of something, what do you think, Laura?" ”

Laura, who was still focused on Chopper, only gave some perfunctory answers, and Chopper was just about to start talking, even when his proud arm was raised in the air, Chopper stopped his actions and expressed his apology.

Big Chopper: "I'm sorry Mr. Merchant, I'd love to share this exciting event with you, but I can't say anything more because it's still in preparation, and I'd like to have a chance to sit down with you if you're still in town when it's over." ”

Since then, the big man who has been at the forefront has never mentioned this topic again, and has been silently leading the way in front.

After passing through several forks in the road, the carriage followed Chopper through the erection, and everyone's vision suddenly opened up, and a small town at the end of the road was revealed to everyone.

Big Chopper: "Welcome to Wolf Hidden Town." ”

......

...

The town is not large, and the buildings in the town seem to have some history but can stand tall with the washing of time, and the buildings themselves are witnesses of time, and they have witnessed the generations of the inhabitants of this town surrounded by mountains.

The townspeople weren't surprised by the carriage's arrival, and the big man Chopper noticed this, knowing that it must be Heyman's guy who couldn't wait to tell everyone what was going to happen.

"Chopper, who are these?"

Chopper put up a stake beside him and held it down, and then stood up again before replying: "Mayor Townsman, these are the merchants of the trade, and they go from town to town to do business. ”

The merchant lifted the curtain to reveal a corner of the car, where there were a number of fresh objects to prove that Chopper was telling the truth.

Merchant: "Dear Mayor Townsman, we haven't had supplies for a while, if I can, I hope to have a good night's sleep in your town, a good meal, and some supplies from the friendly residents at a fair price, and I have a lot of delicate things in my car, and you are welcome to buy them, and I will sell them to you at the same fair price, if you need them." ”

Mayor Mare: "Great proposal, Wolf Hidden welcomes every kind guest, and I hope you can have a comfortable time here." ”

The only response was the mayor's warm voice and Chopper's friendly smile, and most of the surrounding residents looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere seemed to be a one-man show between the two. The rejection of strangers and the xenophobia of passers-by is not a strange thing, especially if the object is human, but it cannot be denied that this is inseparable from Laura's blatant holding the bow and arrow in her hand, and the merchant touches the other party with his elbow, signaling that his attitude is more restrained, and he looks like he may draw the bow at any time and cannot ask others to be enthusiastic about you.

Mayor Mare: "They're going to stay at Hayman's tavern?"

Things turned out to be exactly what Chopper had imagined.

Big Chopper: "No, not really, but decided it would be a new guest at his tavern, if that thing could be called a tavern." ”

Mayor Mare: "Then don't take them there, take them to Hans's inn." ”

Big Chopper: "Mayor Mare, if you let know, God knows what he's going to do to me." ”

Mayor Mare: "Are you afraid he'll teach you a lesson with that weak fist?"

Big Chopper: "I'm not worried about that, but I'm really worried that he's going to dump the loaches that got into the dung pit on my bed, and in fact he almost made it last time, if he hadn't slipped into the manure pit." ”

Mayor Mare: "Okay, I'll tell him, you bring the guests to the inn...... And don't go wrong with what you're told, it's about our whole town. ”

Chopper nodded earnestly, and the mayor left after whispering his orders, and Chopper retook the stake, ready to complete the mayor's entrustment.

Big Chopper: "Okay guys, please come with me, and again, welcome to Wolf Hidden Town." ”

It is very easy for a strange traveler to drive a strange carriage to attract the attention of others, and the townspeople will automatically get out of the way when they approach the carriage, stop in place, and secretly look until the carriage has passed before continuing to walk, there is an indescribable strangeness.

Ranger Pierce reminded in a whisper, "I may be talking nonsense, but the people in this town are a little weird. ”

Laura: "It's really nonsense, and I agree with your nonsense, did the idiot in the car wake up?"

Pierce glanced into the car and shook his head. Laura was about to be tempted to put a few arrows on the stupid pig's head to test the power of the feathered arrows.

Laura: "Mr. Merchant, I hope you don't get too far away from us, let alone out of our sight. ”

Merchant: "No problem. ”

Finally, under the leadership of Chopper, the carriage came to the door of an inn, and the big man Chopper did not stop long, and after explaining the meaning of the mayor to the innkeeper Hans, he took up the stake and hurried away, and it seemed that he had been delayed for a long time.

Hans, the innkeeper: "All right, come with me, let me arrange the best room for you, the best food and drink, oh yes, Mr. Merchant's majestic carriage is parked in the open space next to it, and as for the contents of the car, rest assured, no one will be bold enough to commit a crime in Wolf Hidden Town." ”

After parking the carriage, the merchant and his party followed Hans into the inn, which was more like a tavern than a tavern, full of townspeople who had come to drink, and if it were not for the stairs leading to the rooms on the second floor, it would have been thought that it was just a shop for locals to drink and eat.

Hans, the innkeeper: "Okay guys, what do you want to do?"

Merchant: "Let's have three glasses of pine nut wine, some beef and bread, and then some good things that the boss recommended you." ”

Hans, the innkeeper: "Of course, then have some of my special smoked meats, I promise it will make you addicted." ”

Hans brought pine nut wine before preparing the food. Whether it was a delusion or not, Laura felt that the lively atmosphere in the hall seemed to have cooled down since they entered the inn, and when did people start to like to listen to whispered discussions in the tavern, Pierce apparently focused more on the long-lost sweet wine and water, and his own bounty ...... If you don't mention it, there is always an ominous premonition, hoping that nothing will happen, Laura hoped.

......

...

Children are often more courageous than adults in exploring the unknown, because they are more curious and looking forward to the fun that exploration will bring them. There really isn't a need to worry about losing anything in a parked carriage, because you won't lose anything just by going up and playing.

The tall and mighty carriage is a very cool existence in the eyes of the children, and the arrogant black horse next to it is even more so.

"I knew Jack, I knew there were tons of toys in the car. ”

"Alright John, keep your voice down, and if that grumpy Hans finds out we're harassing his guests, he'll open our ass. ”

Boy John: "You're too timid Jack, you should be like me, manly." ”

Boy Jack: "So your manhood told you to sneak me here?"

John, who was the first to enter the carriage, did not answer, he stopped, and it should be said that there was something that made him have to stop.

Boy Jack: "What's wrong?"

Boy John: "Am I dazzled, is there a person lying here?"

Boy Jack leaned forward: "Huh...... This is indeed a person. ”

The boy John was a little scared: "Dead man?"

Boy Jack crouched down: "No, he's still alive, lo and behold, he's still breathing, but it's an adult...... Is it?"

Boy John: "How is it possible, this guy is about the same height as us. ”

Boy Jack: "But he has a lot of beard, which is what we only grow after we become men, don't we?"

The two children are confused, and if they want to solve their doubts, they have to start solving their doubts, and the children in Wolf Hidden Town have good hands-on ability.

......

...

The golden palace is higher than the sky and bigger than the sea, every brick is pure gold, every fence is studded with diamonds, there are so many beautiful women that you can't hold them in your hands, you can't see them, they are scrithing in their clothes, all the long tables are covered with delicious food, and the fountain is sweet and mellow wine, this is heaven, this is the palace that belongs to the great dwarven warrior Grak.

The back of Gerak's head rested against the milky twin peaks, the warm moans of a woman came to his ears, and eight pairs of jade hands spread out on all fours loosened every muscle in his body, Gerak reached out and pinched the chin of a beautiful woman, and looked at the pink moist lips with interest.

Dwarf Grad: "My little darling, your master I want to taste the grapes, do you know how?"

The beautiful woman bit her lip and picked up a grape, pinched it with her red lips and slowly pushed it into Gerak's mouth with her tongue.

Hell, could there be a more enjoyable day? Glack was content to ask for more tongue-in-cheek from the beauty, and he had already sensed that Little Gerak was ready for battle.

"About ....... This ....."

"I'm afraid...... Not ......"

Strange noises descended from the sky, disturbing the men who were ready to contribute to the reproduction of humanity.

Dwarf Grak: "What the hell is that?"

"Haha...... You see......"

"This ...... It's stupid......"

Gerak was angry, someone dared to openly provoke him in the Gerak Palace, and he had to teach these thieves a good lesson. Suddenly there was a strong itch in your nose, as if there were ten thousand ants crawling in your nose, and Grak opened his mouth violently several times.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh

With a loud sneeze, Gerak woke up, and all he saw was the black roof of the carriage...... and the smug look of the two stinky children.

Dwarf Grak: "Ahh ”

The two children were not afraid of Grak, even as he stood up and put back the cold double-edged axe on his back, and the two children raised their heads and stared at Gluck with their chins.

Boy John: "Who are you, adult or child?"

Boy Jack: "How can a child grow a beard, and why is it so short if it's an adult?"

Dwarf Gerak: "I'm your grandfather!"

Grack kicked John out of the carriage with one kick, and with one hand in his hand, he jumped out of the carriage, intending to teach the two little ones who dared to offend him a lesson.

Dwarf Grak: "Two naughty little boys, tell me now, where is this, where are Lao Tzu's companions?"

......

...

It didn't take long for Hans to bring all the food, and it didn't take long for Pierce to finish a large glass of pine nut, and then she was warned by Laura, because she knew that Pierce, who loved to drink, didn't drink very well, but the merchant still kindly asked for another glass of pine nut for Pierce and himself, and Laura barely touched his own glass.

Merchant: "Enthusiastic boss Hans, thank you for the food and drinks, and if you can, there's a little thing I hope you can help me." ”

Hans, the tavernkeeper: "Please, my friend, I'll help if I can do it." ”

The merchant tasted the smoked meat: "I think you already know that we are here mainly to replenish some supplies for the journey and to do a small business, and the way we buy and sell is to travel to various places, and each place can not only buy different things, but also sell things to different people, we can also learn a lot of stories and people unique to each place." ”

Hans, the tavernkeeper, seemed to freeze his enthusiasm a little: "Oh? ”

Merchant: "And before we came to town, we heard about something special, a special name. ”

The conversation drove the mood forward, and Laura, sensing something wrong, straightened up to get ready, and Pierce put down his glass.

Merchant: "Wolf Spirit Witch, I don't know if you've heard of it. ”

Syllable!

It was only a small movement of the wine glass on the table, but it made a loud noise when the movements were unified, and all eyes in the tavern were focused on the merchant, as if they were about to pierce his body.

Hans, the innkeeper: "Curious, why are you asking this?"

The merchant continued to eat the meat: "Like you, Boss Hans, we are also curious, that's all. ”

Hans didn't say anything more, and his tone became mechanically cold, and the other inhabitants of the tavern not only looked this way, but also changed their bodies, almost all facing the merchant's table. The merchant continued to eat smoked meat and complimented Hans on his craft from time to time, Laura was thinking about whether to strike first, how to deal with so many people, and to what extent, while Pierce was watching Laura, and he would do it as soon as Laura did it.

The hotel is on the verge of eruption.

Boom!

The door of the hotel was kicked open, and a small shadow dragged two children in.

Dwarf Grak: "Aha, Dear Mr. Merchant, I haven't seen you for a long time, your medicine is very effective, it has restored my strength and I have a good dream, but it ended a little sadly, hmm! My good fellow, the smell of this soul-seducing wine is really fatal, Laura, why don't you drink a sip of wine, did you leave it for me? Coo-goo, ha-ha, what a good wine, how about you two have taken our Mr. Merchant-chan to find the wolf spirit witch and the mother-in-law...... Why don't you speak?"

The merchant was wiping his mouth when he was full, and Pierce looked at Laura in a bit of astonishment, Laura's hand that was clenching his fist too hard was constantly trembling, and the green tendons on her forehead were flare-up, and she realized that she should have poked this guy into a hedgehog with an arrow, otherwise he would always be absent when he was needed, and he would come out to make trouble when he was not needed.

Fortunately, thanks to the difference in weapons, there was no conflict between the two sides, and the four of them left the hotel under everyone's "watch", and returned to the carriage where Gerk was still nagging "what is going on", what did he miss during the time he didn't wake up, and finally Pierce had to tell Gerak about the matter.

Laura: "Mr. Merchant, although we are here to find the wolf spirit witch this time, the current situation is not good, I am afraid that this town will not be particularly friendly to us, I do not recommend staying here, and I don't think we can get information about witches from the residents. ”

Dwarf Grad: "Don't make a fuss Laura, we don't need any information, we just need to know which mountain is Shadow Wolf Mountain, as for the witch she must be on the mountain, let's grab someone at random and ask, yes, like those two stinky boys just now, huh? Where are those two boys?"

Laura: "Shut up, don't you think you're 'helping' enough?"

Merchant: "Don't worry guys, I think there's another place where we can get the news we want." ”

Ranger Pierce: "That run-down tavern you just passed by?"

Pierce was always so careful.

Merchant: "Yes, the mayor went to the tavern on purpose. ”

......

...

felt that the whole world had abandoned him, that fate had been very unfair to him, and that he had given himself a brilliant intellect but never given him a chance to prove himself. knew that it only took one time, only one time for the gang to come to his shop today, buy a bottle of wine, and stay for one night so that he could earn a small amount of money, and he could turn that small amount of money into a pot of gold under his masterful management, and he couldn't understand why they would choose to go to Hans's old-fashioned inn, which was not happy at all, and when the mayor told him the bad news, was almost desperate.

In addition to the dilapidated tables in the tavern, only the dense cobwebs on the ceiling remained, and took a sip of the bottle, sighing again that no one could appreciate such a good drink, even if he didn't like the taste, and whiskey...... Oh, and I drank it when I was just in the woods watching the big guy being teased, and it doesn't matter that there is agave, the top tequila...... Ah, the last bottle is already in my hands. But it doesn't matter, how good is it that I can still provide you with good food? You count the rats I feed and the spiders crawling all over the house, you should know how much life my food can give you, you missed everything you should have, stupid pigs!

Squeak

Only a corner of the wooden door hanging on the wall was pushed open, and the long-lost sunlight shone into the tavern, and the light was so bright that it was difficult for Heyman to look at it directly.

Dwarf Grad: "Oh, what a bad smell this is, oh my God, this cobwebs are more than Lao Tzu's beard, is this where people live?!"

Merchant: "Hello, is there a room here?"

Hyman raised his hands, and I took back my words from before, you are not stupid pigs but a bunch of smart and cute guys.

After some hard work, Heyman finally cobbled together a set of tables from the library that hadn't completely collapsed, and wiped them as clean as he could with his own clothes.

Drunken Hyman: "Please sit down, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I'm cleaning, yesterday a bunch of shameless guys ate and drank in my tavern and made a mess everywhere, please don't mind." ”

The dwarf Gerak observed: "Well, you can see that your tavern must have been very 'lively' yesterday. ”

Drunken: "Haha, of course my friend, can I do something for you, do you need wine, I have a good tequila." ”

Laura watched as Heyman picked up the bottle of tequila that had just left his mouth, and she was controlling her feet to prevent them from carrying her back to the comfortable carriage. The bold warrior Gerak never turned down a glass of wine, and he took it with a big sip.

Grak the Dwarf: "Ah, good fellow, this is indeed a fine agave. ”

The drunken licked his lips: "Of course, this is the best bottle of wine left in the tavern. ”

Perhaps the only bottle of wine.

Merchant: "Boss Heyman, we have some things we hope to be answered by you. ”

Trying to take his eyes off the magically appealing bottle, forced himself to forget about the dwindling tequila in the bottle.

Drunken: "Of course, all your questions can be answered by me, and I will arrange a room for you immediately, and we can talk slowly after you settle in." ”

Merchant: "Thank you for your attentive service, could you please tell us a little bit about the Wolf Spirit Witch?"

Hayman was startled, his face hesitated, even under the large amount of alcohol, could still tell the severity of the matter, but the obviously different reaction from the innkeeper just now convinced the merchant that he could get the information he wanted from this person, and only needed to add a small gap.
