Chapter 465 Sweet Cane Village (below)
Purpose? My purpose was to fix the weapon, that’s all, Barrett drank the lemon-honey water from the glass and signaled that the halfling didn’t need to add any more.
As for the purpose of the others, the businessman is planning to buy some elf-style art, anyway, he said so, it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false; the purpose of the bodyguard and the guide is gold coins, one needs to ensure the safety of the employer, and the other needs Take the employer to the final location – the Holy Land of the Elf; as for the little mage, he seems to be negotiating something with the elves in the Holy Land on behalf of the association, and the specific barbarians do not know much.
“Humans come to the Vast Sea Prairie with a purpose after all.” Halfling Card put his hands on his stomach, “This purpose can’t be to travel and enjoy flowers, because you don’t look like those idle noble descendants. It can’t be a simple business transaction, and I haven’t heard of any wizard from the Magic Association who will become a traveling merchant.”
“Maybe I’ll be the first.” Chris imitated the other party and put his hand on his stomach. “It’s not bad to be a traveling merchant. To be honest, I really have such an idea!”
“I will sell some interesting alchemical items, such as rings with ‘magnificence’, which can be sold to dwarves and your halflings, which should be very marketable; and crystal **** enchanted with ‘magic tricks’, Some magic tricks stored in it will definitely be loved by adults and children; and a wand that can emit flames. You only need to press the spar on the top, and a small flame can appear at the top of the wand. Although it does not hurt, you can use it. It’s definitely better for making fire than flint.”
“Although the idea is very good, I’m sure your customer base will be very narrow.” The halfling scratched his **** habitually, “Ordinary people generally only have two choices for things created by mages, either they can’t use it, or Can’t use it.”
“Then I will sell some special items that are not used by ordinary people.” The little mage clapped his hands, as if he had come up with a very good idea, “These special items are quite expensive and require tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Or extremely rare magic materials can only be bought.”
“What’s the use? To make a fire?” Master Card asked.
“No, some of these items are comparable to artifacts, and as long as you get them, you will become very powerful, and you can make a name for yourself in the entire multiverse; other items are more common, and they are comparable to the price, or even slightly lower. And the last ones can be called garbage, of course, not like ordinary garbage, if you sell it to the grocery store, you can still sell it for a few, or a dozen gold coins.”
“I don’t think anyone will spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy some garbage.” The businessman shook his head.
“Of course it’s impossible under normal circumstances, but what if I sell items in a special way?” The little mage said more and more excitedly, “I will mix artifacts, common items, and junk items, and use magic to cover up their appearance. , properties, and materials make them all look very similar, and you can only pick from them by luck and very limited eyesight. But eyesight tends to work in the opposite direction.”
“Gambling like rolling the dice?” This thought suddenly popped into Barrett’s mind.
“Yes, you’re right, that’s the way!” The little mage nodded fiercely, “But even so, not everyone can buy it. I’ll be wandering around on the mainland, whereabouts I’m erratic, people who want to buy things can only keep looking for my footprints and follow my figure. But if you meet me and you happen to have enough money on your body, then a chance to suddenly become stronger will be available to you In front of me. At that time, people will call me ‘mysterious merchant’ because my whereabouts are very mysterious, and the same is true for the items I sell!”
“But where are you going to get so many artifacts?” Red Crab seemed to be very interested in the way the little mage was sold. “There’s not only one item out of a hundred, right? No one would be a fool.”
“It’s definitely not that low, maybe one in five, maybe one in ten, and the specific ratio will be considered later.” The little mage seemed to take this flash of inspiration seriously, “Wait for me to become a legend in the future, I might do it when I’ve scoured the multiverse with enough money and I’m bored with a long life. Yes, I will!”
“Let’s put the topic of mysterious merchants aside.” The host felt helpless for the guests’ digression, “If you really don’t want to tell me the purpose of coming to the Vast Sea Grassland, it’s fine…”
“No, there’s nothing to hide.” Chris said, “Our group intends to go to the elf holy land ‘Los Rollin’.”
“You? Want to go to the elves’ territory?” Master Card frowned.
“Why, isn’t it possible?” The little mage asked back,
“Leave aside the dangers that will be encountered during the journey, don’t you know that those elves with long ears will be very disgusted with the people of the Holy Arathor Kingdom, especially the cavalry?”
“But we don’t have the kingdom’s cavalry here.” The merchant said first.
“Oh?” The halfling Druid was stunned, “It looks like you don’t know each other very well.” He turned his head to look in the direction of Daejin, “Maybe it would be a little rude to say that, but I have more than I once found you and some other humans, wearing the redbud armor of the Holy Arathor Kingdom, passing through this area near the village and going into the depths of the grassland.”
It turns out that this person also has his own secrets. I thought the guy with the most unknown origin would be a businessman. Barrett, like the others, turned to look at Jean who was sitting beside him.
“Is this…” The guide’s face was a little embarrassed, “I did join the kingdom’s ‘Skylark’ army before, but I quit the army two years ago due to health problems. And when you hired me As I said in advance, I will only take you to the edge of the elf holy land and will not follow you into it. Therefore, it will not have any impact on your plans.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “I just want to earn some employment money, and there is no other purpose, after all, everyone needs to live. If you still don’t believe me, I can refund the deposit tomorrow and remove the team from the team. Leaving here, this Mr. Agil should also know the way to the Holy Land of the Spirits.”
“I did visit the elf holy land twice, because I once bought a male elf slave from a certain noble, and opened the door of ‘Los Luolin’ through the path of the elf slave, but these are all It happened ten years ago.” The businessman scratched his head.
“Later I made some money, and I felt that this trade route was too far, and some of the animalized human populations on the way were really dangerous, so I gave up this route. However, there have been some difficulties in business in the past two years. Too…, that, it didn’t go well, so I remembered this relationship with the elves again. As for the specific location of the Holy Land, I vaguely remember the general direction, but it is easy to get lost on the vast sea grassland, so… …” Ariel spread his hands and looked at Chris.
“It’s not too late for you to wait until you leave tomorrow,” the halfling druid said suddenly, “and if you’ve heard what I’m about to say next, you might give up on this one. The journey, all leave the vast sea grassland and return to your human world. If you have no intention of giving up after listening, then I think, if you are willing, you may be able to do something.”
…
At night, the rainstorm came as promised, sweeping the entire halfling village. The dark clouds were so low that they seemed to be within reach, and the pea-sized raindrops rhythmically knocked against the windows on the bark, making a dull ‘dong dong’ sound.
Barritt, who was lying on the bed, was very satisfied with the dinner he had enjoyed before. It has to be said that the halflings are very good at cooking fine food. One of the most special is the fried tulip bulbs, which are made of onion-shaped bulbs under the wild tulips on the grassland, wrapped in flour and fried with chopped grass leaves. When eating, they are dipped in a little salt and pepper. The taste is quite good.
There are also steaming and fragrant roasted rabbit legs gathered in the basin. Because the rabbit legs have been marinated in advance, the taste is very good, and the surface is also smeared with honey, which makes it golden and attractive. The thin end of the rabbit legs is Wrapped in oak leaves, it is convenient to hold and eat directly.
And the fish soup with halflings~www.readmtl.com~ uses cod and crayfish from Lake Trivetves, and fry the chunks of fish together with garlic and chives until golden brown, then remove the fish chunks It is stewed in a pot with tomatoes, parsley, campanula and plump white mushrooms, as well as fish heads and bones. The thick red fish soup is delicious and one of Barrett’s favorite dishes.
Dessert is acorn pudding, made with ground acorn flour, with honey and goat’s milk, which is firmer than normal pudding, but not as smooth in texture.
Just when our barbarian adventurer was still reminiscing about the sumptuous dinner, the little mage on the other bed suddenly asked him, “Hey, you say, what should we choose?”
The sturdy oak tree house is divided into four floors, and each floor has two to three rooms. The owner of the tree house, the halfling Kad Oakleaf, lives on the second floor, and the visitors rest on the third floor. . Barrett and the little mage were in the same room, and the other three were next door.
“Listen to you.” Barrett said easily, “You can choose whatever you want, I don’t care anyway. For me, it’s the same where I do the task.”
