After the Legend Chapter 162: 2 people on the road

Mint and Alex travel north along Mt Toure, halfway through, but disagree on what to do next.

Alex hasn't walked this road, but looking at the map, he thinks that he can walk along the Mt. Toure all the way to Maicheng, and then traverse the misty wasteland to reach the Phantom Town in the Elf Forest faster. On the other hand, Minte didn’t have a good impression of the foothills of Mt. Tolei, where the mountain road was difficult, and the misty wasteland was even more terrifying. Unless you were a veteran, it was easy to get lost in it and unknowingly died of the poisonous mist. He's not sure if he's ever walked by, let alone an Alex? He insisted on taking the blade of the gods. Although it was a little farther, he would never get lost, and after entering the elf forest, he could see Ludlow and the elf queen sooner.

Alex retorted: "Time! Time! We're running out of time! In fact, back in Siko, we shouldn't have turned to Norga. If we went down the Medton side, maybe We've reached the outskirts of the Misty Wasteland now! Didn't you say it only takes ** days to go from there? We don't even need to make such a big bend to go north!"

Minte glared at him: "Do you know what season it is now?! The fog on the misty wasteland is at its thickest time. Once inside, you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and west, and you can't see the sun. My grandpa Don't dare to cross the wasteland in winter, who do you think you are?! It's a bit far to go north, but you won't get lost, and those who haven't walked don't hesitate!"

Alex looked indignant, and suddenly glanced at the corner of the map, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the northeast corner of East: "Then don't go to the wasteland, let's go to the sea! The bay here is not connected. East of the Elven Forest?!"

Minte glanced at it and sneered: "Indeed, there is a connection there, as long as you can get out of the sea, then go, don't tell me you don't know what a return bay is"

Alex is speechless. If he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have forgotten about it. The current in that bay is very fast from north to south. As soon as the boat leaves the shore, it will be brought back by the waves within ten meters. Therefore, it is called the "return bay". coral reef. It is also a good barrier to prevent foreign invasions, so although that area is a border, there is not even a single defender.

Alex bowed his head and put away the map, with an unwilling face on his face, and said angrily to the clerk: "Is the hot soup still good?! We have been sitting for half an hour!"

At the moment, they are sitting in a tavern having lunch. There are many customers sitting in the restaurant, all of them drinking a few cups to keep warm by the fire. It is very noisy. The shop assistants are busy. Hearing Alex's call, he hurriedly said, "It's coming soon!" Then he ran to the kitchen to fiddle for a long time, brought out two hot soups and a plate of black bread, nodded and apologized. "I'm so sorry, guest, it's been snowing for several days. There's not enough ingredients, so...no broth..."

Alex stares at the dark, unidentified stem in the soup. silent. Minte smelled it and knew that it was just a local specialty, so he smiled at the clerk: "It's okay, as long as you don't charge us more."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, rubbed his hands with a smile, and glanced at the shopkeeper secretly, looking embarrassed.

Mint ignores it. Just break the bread and dip it into the soup. He whispered to Alex, "You can eat the land. It's just ugly." He also took a few bites to show him. Alex mustered his courage. Tasted half a spoon. Found the taste to be okay. Just ate it in small bites.

I just ate a little. He found that the clerk had been standing by without leaving. He frowned, "What else?"

The clerk stepped forward. With a flattering smile, he said, "Two guests. You... come from the south, right? Do you know... what happened to the beasts?" He suddenly stretched out his head and said, "Have you all been killed?"

The surrounding voices suddenly disappeared. Everyone turned their faces. stare at them. Awaiting answer.

Alex stepped back slightly. The frown deepened. Mint replied with a smile: "Not all of them. But it's under control. But we don't know what's going on in the west. When I was in Normonka last month, the market was fairly calm."

The clerk breathed a sigh of relief. Others were also talking about it. The noise in the store resumed for a while. The owner picked up a plate of dim sum. Come out from behind the counter. He smiled at Mintel and Alex: "As the guests said. We don't need to worry about the monsters here? That's great. There is no definite news. Rumors are flying all over the sky. We are all worried. "

Minter paused and couldn't help reminding them: "No one can say that it is safe, you better be careful. Any place such as caves, valleys, etc., if they are remote, it is best to check them. Check to see if there is a magic circle drawn on the ground, it is used to transport monsters. If there is, stay away immediately and report to the army or lord. Usually prepare some bows, oil and fire, etc., monsters are afraid of fire If it doesn't work, just move to the mountain, of course, make sure there is no suspicious place nearby."

The owner's face is full of gratitude: "Thank you, I will tell everyone." The people around listened, and the discussion became more heated. Some people immediately checked out and left, planning to move their family to a nearby mountain. .

Alex noticed a man in the corner of the room quietly put down the money and took a peek at them before going out, frowned, and quietly pulled Laminte's sleeve: "Come on Eat, let's go after eating."

"Huh?" Minte was a little puzzled, followed his line of sight, and found that the man walked to the corner, whispered to a man dressed as a knight for a while, and then pointed back to himself and Alex , I secretly shouted badly in my heart: "Don't they want to be unfavorable to us? They have all formed an alliance now!"

"I didn't say that people would be bad for us." Alex broke the bread quickly, "They just need to ask a few more questions about the monsters, and we will delay for a long time. You think all lords will Do you care about the situation on the mainland? If they care about the affairs of their own territory, it is already great."

Minte hurriedly buried himself in the meal. As soon as they finished eating, the two of them threw away the meal money. They hurriedly went out and set off, ignoring the owner and clerk chasing and shouting after him. After running a few hundred meters away, I happened to see a fat middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes coming down to the outside of the tavern surrounded by a large group of people. Seeing this, Mint stuck out his tongue and smiled at Alex: "Fortunately you are clever. Otherwise, it would be a delay."

Alex snorted coldly, raising his chin high.

Continuing north, three days later, they reached the town of Black Mountain.

This place has been depressed a lot, and the goods on the market are much worse than those of the past in terms of quantity and quality. Minte inquired about passers-by, only to find out that the lord here had built a new town and forced the wealthy households nearby to move there. Therefore, good things go there, and it also attracts merchants to turn there. The town of Montenegro has completely become an exchange for the poor.

Minte sighed and tried to find the stew shop back then, but couldn't find it, so he had to eat something random, and then took Alex to sell horses. The latter was taken aback: "Why sell?! We have to hurry!"

"Tomorrow you will be at the foot of the snowy mountain, do you want to ride a horse across the snowy mountain?"

"Can't you? My horse is very stamina."

Mint chuckled: "Stop joking. You can't ride there, or you'll have to die. We'll have to walk carefully."

Alex touches his horse. He asked softly, "Can't I keep it? This horse has been with me for many years." Minte hesitated: "Here? I'm afraid it will be sold when we turn around. We lose money instead."

Alex didn't speak, Minte looked at him embarrassedly, and let the walk say: "Okay, I'll find someone to help you." Instead, he only sold his own and bought it from the market. A lot of jerky and wine, and a few extra blankets were bought. The two went to the inn for one night, and the next day they led Alex's white horse to the northeast. After only half a day, we arrived at the small village where we once stayed.

It's almost a deserted village, with only four or five families left. Others have moved abroad. Fortunately, Rolle was still there, and Minte only gave him five gold coins to persuade him to help take care of the horses. In order to prevent him from resale, Mint also threatened: "If the horse is well taken care of when we come back, I will pay you another twenty gold coins. But if the horse is gone, or sick or injured, you have to Pay me forty gold coins! I'll tell you. I'm not easy to fool! I used to be an attendant in the palace. His Majesty the King knows me, and His Excellency the Duke is still my good friend!"

Roll swallowed. I almost swore to the sky: "I will take good care of it, give it the best grass, drink the cleanest water, and let it sleep with me. Definitely!" Don't say the identity of this stranger is so scary, He couldn't afford the forty gold coins alone. Since his son's family moved to Xincheng, he stayed in his hometown by himself, and he couldn't earn even a single silver coin all year round. Now he only needs to help people watch the horses for a few days, and there will be dozens of gold coins in the account, so he will not be stupid! You know, the price of horses outside is now ten gold coins at most!

Mintel laughed and left him an extra jar of wine, a pack of jerky, and some change, and he was even more grateful. Mint couldn't stand his flattery, and hurriedly dragged Alex out.

Alex turned back and forth, and Mint comforted: "When we get back, you can take it with you. Don't mother-in-law, that person doesn't have the guts to treat your horse badly."

Alex gave him a sidelong glance and walked forward without saying a word.

They walked very fast, and when night fell, they had passed the end of the canyon and reached the snowy mountain opposite. Alex looked back and looked at the way he came, and some couldn't believe that he actually came to this place, and muttered: "It's really the blade of the gods..." Minte was a little funny: "I said it for a few days. , where do you think we're going?"

Alex looked back blankly: "Here is the God's Blade, the God's Blade! Look at those lights! That's a miracle!"

"Shh!" Minte looked around carefully, seeing that there was no movement in Xueshan, and then he calmed down and glared at Alex, "Be quiet! You can't speak loudly here, keep your steps light, you It's better to use the suspending technique more! Otherwise, if it triggers an avalanche, it will be miserable!" Alex hurriedly covered his mouth, his face was a little red, and he was ashamed of his humiliating performance just now.

Both of them were wearing thick winter clothes, thick felt hats on their heads, large scarves that blocked their nose, ears, and nose, and black gauze straps tied around their eyes. Under Mint's warning, Alex carefully used the minimum levitation technique, letting his feet lightly step on the snow, so as not to cause the snow to change, and Mint's light skills are more exquisite than when he was a child , The two successfully entered the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains. With the help of Mint's potion, neither was frostbitten by the cold air.

It was completely dark, and the two of them took advantage of the snow. Find a leeward place and set up a tent. Mintel took out his wand and cast a few wind-proof spells on the outside of the tent, then got in and filled four glass bottles with some magical flames, placing them in the four corners, and the tent suddenly warmed up.

He threw out a large stack of blankets, leaned against one of them at will, kicked off his boots, and glanced at Alex at the door. Then he took off the cold and wet socks, put his feet close to the flame in the corner, and sighed: "It's really warm..."

Alex looked out hesitantly, and Mint asked, "Why didn't you come in?"

"Don't you need to make a fire? Camping in the wild, you should have a fire? Otherwise, wild animals will come."

Mintel laughed: "How can there be any beasts here? Grandpa and I didn't even have a tent back then, and the fire would be blown out by the wind, and if the snow melted, wouldn't it be worse? Come on! Come in!"

Alex enters the tent. Turning around to seal the entrance, he remembered one more thing: "Right! If there is no fire, what will we eat?! Shouldn't it be cold food?" When he turned around, he saw that Minte had brought out a strangely shaped stove, and asked : "What is this?"

"Magic stove." Minte took out the pot, got out of the tent, knocked two pieces of clean ice back, put it in the pot, and started the magic stove. Let the ice slowly melt and then gradually boil again. Then cut the jerky into small pieces and put it down, add salt and seasoning, and after a while, the fragrant broth is ready.

Alex moved his index finger and hurriedly sat down to help scoop the soup, and then saw Minte take out some white bread, tore it open and soak it in the soup, so he learned to do it too. Delicious broth and fluffy bread. It tastes absolutely delicious. He took a long breath. Feeling more and more clammy and uncomfortable on my feet, I hesitated for a while. Quietly rubbing against the boots, kicking them aside. Holding back his socks, he stretched his feet to the corner of the flame like Minte did. After a while, warmth penetrated from the soles of his feet, and his whole body became warm.

After the broth and bread, Mint pulled out his wand and cast a cleaning spell on the pots and pans, and everything was clean, then he made the milk tea.

Alex studies the principles of the Magic Hearth. Although he had heard of it before, it was the first time he saw the real thing. Back then, the magic furnaces represented by the Xiao family business only sold a batch of 20 pieces, and the goods were sold out within half a day. Later, the business changed dramatically and no longer sold alchemy. I have only heard that the Magic City is occasionally sold, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

Before he finished his research, Minte stuffed a cup of hot milk tea into his hands. He was stunned and smiled, "My friend, if you were a girl, I would definitely propose to you."

Minte was stunned for a while, his face flushed red, and he slapped him: "What nonsense?!"

Alex was startled, half a cup of milk tea splashed out: "What are you doing? I'm just joking!"

Mint glared at him through gritted teeth, then snorted heavily, turned his head and fell asleep, ignoring him.

Alex touched his nose inexplicably and muttered in a low voice, "I thought you were a brave and straightforward man, but the longer you've known each other, the more mother-in-law you've become, stingy like a girl, and sarcastic... "

After complaining a few words, seeing that Mintel didn't respond, he felt that he was too bored, so he hurriedly drank the milk tea and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he saw that Minte had wrapped his head and face tightly, and his clothes were too thick. He couldn't help but want to laugh. When he saw the other person staring at him, he felt that he was going too far. Last night, it was just good intentions to go to Mintel, but he made fun of others. In fact, he was the one who made the mistake first. Feeling ashamed, he took the initiative to help clean up the breakfast utensils and tent. When he saw that the cup he drank milk tea last night had not been washed, he hurriedly cleaned it up.

Minte looked at it coldly and twitched the corners of his mouth: "I can't see it, you're quite handy at doing these chores, if you're a woman..." After a pause, he turned his head away and didn't say anything.

Alex didn't take it seriously, smiled and said, "Do you think I'm one of those aristocratic young masters? The first year I entered Vatican, but like other magic apprentices, not only did I have to take care of myself, not only in food, but also in daily life. I also have to serve as a teacher's attendant! I have also done these jobs."

Mintel was surprised: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Alex held out his hand to show him his cocoon. "At that time, we were going to chop wood in the winter, hand chop! No magic."

"No way? Why did your teacher do this?" Minte looked at the thick calluses and didn't expect it to come like this.

"In order to exercise our willpower! Actually, I live the same life as the monks. It's very simple. I go to bed early and get up early every day. Except for eating, praying, sleeping, and working, I spend almost all my time studying. The teacher hopes that we will not be deceived by foreign things, and in those few years, even meat and wine were not allowed.”

Minte's eyes widened, but suddenly he didn't believe it again: "Stop lying! Although you dress modestly, that's to hide your identity! I don't believe that people who live a simple life will smear them on their bodies. Perfume, and you're a picky eater! Almost won't eat it!"

Alex snorted: "Who is picky eater? I just got into the habit of not eating unfamiliar food, for fear that it will produce peculiar smell. Do you know? Food with peculiar smell, can’t let the smell of sweat smudge people? I had to take a bath three times a day~IndoMTL.com~ I dare not eat anything except milk and white bread. The perfume must be sprayed on the ground, and the fragrance must be Light, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the gods."

Mint was speechless, and felt sympathy for Alex: "That's not easy."

Alex raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I'm getting used to it quite well."

Mint resists the urge to roll his eyes: "Let's go!"

They walked all the way east, carefully climbed over snow-capped mountains, stayed in tents at night, and had endless conversations. Although there was vomit and sneer in the middle, they got along peacefully. Finally, they finished walking the snow-capped mountains and set foot on the green land.

Alex kept turning his head to look at Mintel: "Hey, the snow mountain has passed, and you still wrap your head and face so tightly, isn't it uncomfortable?"

"Shut up!" A vague voice was found in Mint's mouth, and Alex felt suspicious: "Are you sick?"

"No! Just walk, stop talking!" Mintel continued to speak sullenly, and was relieved to see that Alex stopped asking questions. But "he" was amused at the thought of his surprise later.

As soon as they reached the edge of the forest, more than a dozen elves riding silver wolves stood in front with frosty faces, and the elves at the head shouted coldly, "Humans! Get out of here!"

Alex swallowed nervously, and was about to come forward to explain his intention, but saw Mintra's scarf, revealing a shawl and long hair, took a few steps forward and shouted happily: "Lucien Do you remember me? I'm Minna!"

Alex's eyes widened, staring blankly at the apparently girl's friend.

(I lost more a few days ago, I will make up for it today)
