Chapter 11: Brightness, surprise without danger
"Remove the alert!"
As the wanderer brought Chateau closer, the brawny man with the shield put away the shield, and the rest of the people also lifted their guards. The transportation that had been stopped was restarted. Only the white ball of light in the air seemed to be It shows what just happened here.
"Captain, just a civilian."
Hearing the sound behind him, Xia Duo's heart tightened, but then the sharp blade that had been on his back left, Xia Duo quickly turned around, but found nothing.
"Boy, I was frightened by Rad! Tell me, what's the matter?" Although he seemed to be making fun of Chateau, Chateau could still feel his guard.
But being able to talk normally, instead of killing directly, was enough surprise for Xia Duo. He took a deep breath and organized the language. Xia Duo said:
"This adventurer, I want to get out of town. There is a bard in the Lion and Fire Circus outside the town. He is also a Karatu."
Xia Duo emphasized "yes", but he did not say whether he was a Karatu. If these adventurers knew Muyan and Karatu, they would naturally think that Xia Duo was also a Karatu, and he was from Muyan. Clan or something.
And if you don’t know, having a spellcaster making tiger skins will at least make the other party scrupulous.
"Wait!"
This brawny adventurer left a word and found the steward in the crowd to discuss it in a low voice. The mage that Xia Duo noticed before was also involved in the discussion. It seemed that there was a dispute, which made Xia Duo's heart rise. , I don't know what ending is waiting for him for a while.
In the process of waiting, Xia Duo did not dare to walk around at will, fearing misunderstanding, she could only observe everything around him in place. The white ball of light in mid-air had not disappeared. Xia Duo noticed the caravan’s carriage. Inscribed with the emblem of [Eagle].
That should not be the Gorse Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo was inexplicably relieved, but even if it is not the Gorse Chamber of Commerce, it is not easy to pass the customs smoothly.
Just as Xia Duo was thinking about it, the discussion between the adventurer brawny, the steward, and the wizard had reached a conclusion. The adventurer brawny came to Xia Duo with a shield and said:
"You can leave, but you must pay for the wizard's spells."
Hearing the previous sentence, Xia Duo was delighted, but the latter sentence made him nervous again and paid the price? Money, life, or something else?
Xia Duo was silent for a while, knowing that he couldn't hide, gritted his teeth and asked: "What do I need to do to satisfy the Master Mage."
"What he just performed was a level 0 trick [lighting technique]. As usual, you need to pay 5 gold coins." It seems that Xia Duo can't understand, the strong man explained again, "Because of your presence, give us the caravan It has caused trouble, and only accepts 5 gold coins for casting, which is a very fair price."
Xia Duo understands that if you ask a wizard in Savile to take action, even a level 0 trick requires at least 5 gold coins. The higher the caster level, the more gold coins will be spent, but there are usually few wizards to take on such a business. .
However, Xia Duo is still unwilling to accept it psychologically. If he is a spellcaster, does he still need these 5 gold coins?
The point is that he only has 5 gold coins, plus a handful of silver coins.
"It's really fair." Xia Duo took out the 5 gold coins stored next to him from his arms and handed it to the strong man.
The person had to bow his head under the eaves. Obviously, it is impossible for the other party to let him go without paying these 5 gold coins.
is really a disaster! Now it is a good ending to be able to save money and avoid disasters, but just as Xia Duo was about to bypass the caravan's convoy and walk towards the town gate, the strong man stopped him again:
"Return your dagger to you."
I don't know when Xia Duo's iron dagger arrived in the hands of the strong man, and it is now being returned to Xia Duo. It is really amazing.
And the wanderer who never appeared in Xia Duo's line of sight from the beginning to the end left a very deep impression on Xia Duo.
After putting away the dagger, Xia Duo left until she walked out of the town gate and saw the Lion and Fire Circus tent not far away. Xia Duo was really relieved.
After this unpredictable episode, the sky is already bright, and the entire Savile town seems to be alive. Chaduo can hear women screaming and children crying faintly outside the town.
There is already a long line of convoys leaving outside the east gate of the small town. Pony horses from the northwestern barbarian are chewing on grass fodder, sometimes making a snort, while pulling a heavy truck, slowly driving east.
……
Although the Midsummer Festival has passed, the Yu Qing of the festival is not so easy to pass. The Lion and Fire Circus will stay in Savile for a few days to completely drain the wallets of the residents of the town, and then bring the purchases from Savile. Specialties go to the next place.
This is an alternative caravan.
At this moment, Xia Duo was standing in front of the tent of the bard Mu Yan. He hesitated. Mu Yan was willing to guide Xia Duo on the path of the bard, but Xia Duo did not immediately agree. Come and seek his asylum.
"Come in, don't stand outside."
Mu Yan's voice came out of the tent, and there was a touch of kindness in the words. Xia Duo opened the curtain and saw Mu Yan writing at the table. Xia Duo didn't ask, but just waited silently.
"Just find a place to do it, don't be too restrictive. I saw you from the same clan yesterday~www.readwn.com~ The inspiration in my mind was surging, I just created a new song, and I will finish writing a few paragraphs." Mu Yan's expression Some exaggeration, began to read some of his lyrics.
This is a poem about the feelings of a wanderer in a foreign land when he meets people in his hometown. Mu Yan read it twice and asked Xia Duo, "What do you think? Does it taste like hometown?"
Muyan’s hometown refers to Karatu, but Chateau from Earth China can feel the emotions contained in it. After all, Karatu in the original game was designed based on China.
At this moment, Xia Duo's goodwill and trust in Mu Yan have greatly increased. Perhaps it is good to follow Mu Yan on the path of a bard.
"Mr. Muyan, I want to learn magic from you."
"Why, don't you want to be a mage?" Mu Yan teased. Xia Duo was all about joining the Mage Tower before, and even the bard with a caster level of up to 15 clearly expressed his willingness to be Xia Duo's guide. People, Xia Duo still hesitated.
"Mr. Muyan, it's like this—"
Chateau did not conceal it. He moved him from his hometown to Faerun and stayed in Old Neil’s hotel until Old Neil wanted to turn him into a slave, and even contacted the Gorse Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to talk about it as soon as possible. Gain the power to protect yourself.
"A greedy and short-sighted man, do you need me to help you solve him?" A sharp look flashed in Mu Yan's eyes. He would not allow a Karatu to be enslaved.
Since living in Faerun, Mu Yan has not encountered many Karatu people so far. Perhaps some of them are in a difficult situation, but at least none of them have been enslaved. Hearing what happened to Xia Duo, Mu Yan felt unhappy.
However, Xia Duo refused repeatedly. It was not that he did not want to retaliate against Old Neil, but that he didn't want to leave Mu Yan with the impression that he would be repaid. When he is not capable, it is best to keep a low profile.
