Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 24: Locke and Els (four)
Chapter 24 Locke and Els (four)
Callisto Hills is located on the edge of Falik Plains and connects to the Titanic Mountains. It is also a buffer zone for the powers of the Forde Trade Union and dwarf kingdoms. It is said that in the last French era, the remaining Magician(s) opened the door of time and space for the future and development of Grindia humans, and sent all other intelligent races of Grindia to other sub-Planar World. But somehow omitted this dwarf tribe in the Titanic Mountains. After more than two thousand years, this dwarf tribe slowly developed, and the dwarf kingdom was established around the Titanic Mountains.
This is the only civilized and intelligent race similar to human beings currently found in Grindia. However, most of the activities of the dwarf family are in the high mountain areas. They have contact with human beings, and there have been no conflicts. On the contrary, there are also some business transactions from time to time.
Callisto Hills is nominally within the sphere of influence of Trade Union, but in fact, Trade Union is not able to perform effective administrative division and jurisdiction over Callisto Hills. To put it ugly, the mountain people living here are very hard-working, brave and aggressive, and a joke, a large-scale bloodshed may occur in one collision. At present, Trade Union adopts a soothing policy. It is said that there is a proposal to divide Callisto Hills into a block area as a place of separation for those who contribute to Trade Union. The proposal Trade Union is still under consideration.
Three days and two nights, Charade brought Lorist to their destination, a small village called Baka, to welcome their private client, Correct, the village head of Baka village, and the owner of the mine. A middle-aged man named Bam.
Speaking of which, Bam is also a senior of Lorist and graduated from Dawn Academy. Bam's father once participated in the Trade Union war against Krissen's Empire invasion, but was injured and returned to his hometown. After seeing the world, he wanted to change the poverty and backwardness of the village, and he gritted his tuition and sent Bam to Dawn Academy for school. Bam studied for three years, two majors are resource exploration and mineral development. It's just that the two majors of Dawn Academy have always been unpopular. The instructors who teach these two courses are not very professional. They both talked about the text and the paper, and later the college abolished the two majors.
After returning to his hometown, it took Bam five or six years to combine his theoretical knowledge and practical experience, and finally found a vein under a small hill near the small village of Baka. After mining, it was found to be a silver-tin accompany mine. Although there is not much production, this small mine has become the survival pillar of five or six small villages around. With this small mine, there has been no starvation in the surrounding villages for more than ten years, which basically guarantees adequate food and clothing. And Bam also relied on the profits of this small mine to send the talented children in the village to Morante to study, hoping that they will have better development when they grow up.
After talking with Bam, everyone admires Bam, the old scholastic, who can abandon the development of Morante City and return to his hometown to change the situation of poverty. Not everyone can do it, especially when he opened a small mine. Later, it was even more rare to use the earned money to send the children in the village to study. Lorist and Yuri understand that the tuition fees for maintaining a few children in Morante City are not small.
Student Bam is very straightforward. He introduced that the trace of the gold rat had been found deep in the mine a year ago. As Black Iron Swordsman, he led someone to kill two heads and then stopped for a while. Later, it was discovered that the gopher's whereabouts were all led by him to patrol, killing a dozen or so in a year. It was not until two months ago that the working miner was attacked by a gold rat, three dead and five injured. He didn't feel good. He recruited all the Battle Qi staff in the surrounding villages. The total number of Black Iron was 11 Bronze Swordsman, ready to go down to the mine to clear the golden rat.
However, this clearing operation failed to achieve its purpose. Bam's team was attacked by nearly a hundred rat-eaters in the mine. The fourteen team was caught by surprise and almost everyone was injured. Although no less than thirty bite-eaters were killed, they could not stop the wave-by-band attack of the bite-eaters, and finally reluctantly withdrew the ground, bearing the cost of nine serious injuries.
At this time, Bam already realized that the gold eater in the mine had become a disaster. The only way was to issue a mission and entrust Mercenary to destroy the gold eater. It ’s just a little tight, there are less than thirty gold coin(s)s left after paying the miners ’pensions and their own medical expenses, and this month, because the mine was closed, the account was not paid, and some money was left to buy food for distribution to the surrounding Village, so only a dozen gold coin(s) can be paid for the task. And the news from Mercenary Union made him very disappointed. A task order such as his one draws five gold fordess, and the rest is not enough to pay Mercenary for the task.
Bam suddenly remembered that when he was studying at Dawn Academy, the students in the college often formed adventure teams to take on tasks to earn extra money, so he asked the children who were studying in the college to find Charade.
After listening to Bam ’s story, everyone was relieved. There should be no risk in this private work, and the character of the Bam village chief has been believed by everyone. Charade has analyzed it for you. According to the information provided by Bam, the number of golden rat biting under the mine should be about 200 to 300. It is a small and medium-sized mouse population, if it is a large mouse population. At least a thousand of them will besiege the siege of the Bam school. Nearly a hundred siege is enough to deal with them, five of them, three Silver and two Black Iron. Even if you can't kill the gophers, they can kill the female rat king, forcing the remaining gophers to leave the area where the mine is.
Although the eighteen gold fordess paid by Bam's senior are a little inadequate, they are enough for everyone to make a fortune. Besides, the senior Bam will also bring two Bronze Swordsman to join the team, one is to guide and the other is to help everyone with luggage, all are free services. The most important point is that all the gains during this mission belong to the adventure team. In the old nest of the bite rat, precious metal ore can often be found. Some people have previously obtained large dog head gold, which is a good thing. So this adventure is well worth it. Everyone has a good night's rest and set off tomorrow.
"... In general, the meat of the guinea pig is a little bit sour, but it can be eaten with confidence. It will taste better when it is made into dried bacon. All internal organs and blood should be discarded. These are inedible and have heavy metal toxins. The most powerful of the golden rat is the two front teeth, which are very hard. The purchase price of one front teeth on the market is a small silver coin(s). However, its fur is useless, mainly because the smell cannot be removed, how to tan Some kind of odor similar to the sewer sewer remains on it, which attracts mosquitoes and flies, so they are not discarded ... "
In the mine, Els was assigned a forward reconnaissance, Charade and Yuri, Terman walked in the middle, Lorist and Bam Dean, and two Bronze Swordsman carrying iron cages followed. Lorist walked to Bam to show off what they learned in the magical beast knowledge course: "The most disliked by the golden rat is the smell of pine trees, especially the roots of pine trees. The potion we just applied at the fork was pine Lao Gen extracted it, this is to prevent the gold rat from escaping around, and to isolate their activity space ... "
"Well, yes, this is the research result published last year, and it is the latest discovery of Professor Snard Boge, a professor of magical beast knowledge in our college. For this, he won the Forde research award and won 200,000. The bonus of gold fordes was issued at once. This discovery is the gospel of all mine owners. As long as you regularly apply potions in the mines, you can drive the gold rat away from the mining area to avoid being attacked.
"The price is not expensive, and a large bucket will only have three gold fordes, which can be maintained for one month. In fact, you will naturally retain the smell of pine trees after using it for a long time. Now, this is really a good deal! If you think about it, Dean Bam, you can entrust me if you want to buy it. Now this medicine is in short supply, and the college's production is limited. It's not because the insiders can't get it. I will get you the friendship. "
Lorist is very proud. As long as Bam learns his mind, one barrel can get one gold coin(s) sales share. For twelve barrels of potion a year, he can get twelve gold fordes without any effort. This is a good deal, or should I go to those mines to sell this potion after this trip?
Lorist They went further and further down, already encountered two waves of gold bite swarms, and more than two hundred gold rat swarms were under the sword of the adventure team. Not to mention the strength of the three Silver Ranks, Charade, Els, and Terman, the performance of the two Black Irons, Yuri and Lorist, stunned Bam and the two Bronze Swordsman.
Yuri is standing in the middle of a triangle consisting of Charade, Els and Terman. Facing the swarm of golden rat swarms, he does not take the lead, but picks up the gaps, so that the Charade three have no worries and let go. . And Lorist is even more exaggerated, one person, one sword, standing alone, one sword and one gold bite rat, even killing dozens of bodies without even a drop of mouse blood, and killing is not slower than Charade.
The three of Bam are ashamed. Fourteen of them went down the hole and encountered the same number of gold bite swarms. Which one is not busy, not only escaped from the hole, but also chased by the gold swallows. Nine people were seriously injured. Looking at others now, the one who kills is easy, just like practicing swords.
Killing these two waves of guinea pigs, Charade decided that everyone should take a break first, take a breath and clean up the loot casually. Yuri took a large pair of pliers and prepared to extract teeth from the bite rat. Dean Bam asked everyone not to eat the carcass of the guinea pigs, and remembering that the rat meat said by Lorist was edible, he asked an Bronze Swordsman to go to the village to find some people to move these carcass corpses to add some meat to the villagers. .
I ate some dry food and took a nap. Charade decided that the soldiers would split in two ways. He took Terman and Yuri to take the left fork and Lorist and Els to take the right fork. Anyway, there should not be many gold eaters. Now, as long as you find the rat nest and kill the female rat king, you can do it.
Lorist Carry a bag containing the potion of repellent Golden Rat, and smear while walking.
Els asks, "What are you doing?"
Lorist briefly introduced the efficacy of the potion, because Els does not open a mine, so he has no interest in selling hard.
Els was very skeptical of the potency of the potion, so they quarreled again.
After walking for a long time, nothing was found. Seeing that the main mine tunnel was almost over, there was nothing to find and no encounter with the gold rat. Els said, "Go back, there is nothing here."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the rock wall suddenly arched in front, and then "Boom" cracked, and a huge black skull was drilled out. It seemed to smell a few times in the air and went straight to Lorist and Els Pounced.
"What is it?" Lorist scared even the torch in his hand. This thing is too big. The diameter of this skull is two meters.
"Not running away!" Els seized Lorist and turned and ran.
"Ji, I knew I had nothing good to meet you. I was bad enough on already two times. This time you have to join me and I have been worrying about when it will be unlucky. Now I can rest assured, kill rats With such a thing, bad luck has come to an end. "Lorist talked while running behind Els.
"You haven't thanked my brother for pulling you, otherwise you would have been swallowed up by that thing. Didn't you see that you were scared just now and even the torches were dropped?" Els replied.
"I just suddenly remembered the unicorn rock python in the legendary mine event. I was afraid that this guy was behind. I just saw the long body of the skull and thought it was the stuff." Lorist face was a little bit Hot, I was really scared just now. Fortunately, Els pulled himself.
Els running and looking back, after a while I would say, "I ca n’t look like a unicorn rock python, the thing behind is not fast, the head is round, it seems to have no eyes, and no scales on my body ..."
"No, you can see it so dark? Don't treat me as a kid, do I look fooled? Also, don't run so fast, we can't see anything and hit the rocks carefully. On the wall, "said Lorist.
"Haha," Els smiled proudly: "Brother, I know Battle Qi, which is Dark Attribute, you know, but you don't know that practice(d) Dark Attribute Battle Qi can make people have night vision ability, although black here is for brother Just like in the daytime, this is the talent of the brother. How about it, great, envy, not like you become a blind man if you lose the torch.
"Day, brother I have gold coin(s) and can afford the lamp oil. Unlike you never light the lamp ..." Lorist envy, the night vision ability of this guy seems not worse than my dynamic vision, especially at night It's a big deal.
"So you should actually look cool in the women's bathroom that day, although the light in it is dim, it is not a problem for you." Lorist asked panting.
"Don't mention what happened on that day? Brother is really facing the wall, didn't look at the old ladies ..." Lorist said that Els remembered those four words again and was anxious. It turned out that he was knocked over by a stone.
Lorist was busy helping, Els grabbed Lorist's arm and got up: "Well? Locke, how did you get hurt? Your clothes were wet?"
Lorist was startled, and touched up and down: "Oh, it wasn't me that got hurt, but the bag containing the potion was broken, and the potion was all over. You're all right, it seems like I heard something moving again."
"I'm fine, that thing is catching up again, let's run away."
After a while, I saw Charade. They were waiting at the place where they had rested. They were running out of breath and could not speak, so they waved to everyone to run. As a result, Charade looked at Lorist and Els dancing and still felt very funny, stood there and laughed non-stop, and then they saw a "bang" behind the two men chasing a big guy. This time it was lively, and all the chicken flying dogs jumped back and ran hard outside the mine.
Charade people can run fastest despite being fat. They ran out of the mine first, followed by Yuri, Terman, Bam and a Bronze Swordsman, and finally Els and Lorist. The other Bronze Swordsman outside the mine and the villagers who were going to load the carcass corpse's body back to the village and watched the fate of the fateful day were both frightened. What happened?
Charade shouted at them: "Run, spread, don't be at the entrance of the hole, there is magical beast coming out!"
The crowd suddenly disappeared like birds and beasts. Fortunately, the big guy chasing inside the cave seemed to be afraid of light, and then retracted after chasing the hole.
Charade breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lorist and Els: "What the **** is that, how did you meet it? Hey, Locke, what is your smell? Peeing?"
Lorist said, "No, it ’s the potion that fell on my body. It was the potion that drove away the gold rat from the Academy of Science, Professor Snader Boge. Because this trip is to kill the gold rat, so I will Bring over a bucket. "
"My day! You pit father, you brought the potion over, I know what the stuff is in there." Charade jumped up and down, angered fist wanted to Lorist.
"No, Charade. You can make it clear. Isn't this potion able to drive away Golden Rat, isn't it good?" Lorist asked while hiding.
"What a fart! This potion can drive away the Golden Rat, but it can attract the dragon. The thing in it is the dragon, which was attracted by your potion."
"Do you know what a ground dragon is? This thing is a demonized variant of earthworm. The favorite is the potion extracted from this pine root. If you do n’t believe it, you can dig under the pine tree. Earthworms. Everyone in the college has used this potion to hunt ground dragons. "
"Professor Boge wanted to make a lot of money when he invented this potion, but he drove away the Golden Rat and attracted the earth dragon, which caused him to lose all the 200,000 bonus and produce it. Potions are piled up in the academy and you ca n’t sell them, do n’t you know? On the day, it ’s just a fool like you who is a professor! ”Charade was furious.
I also have a day, no wonder the professor promised that he could get a gold coin(s) by selling one barrel of three gold coin(s) barrels. How can there be such a good deal in the world! Lorist squatted down on the ground holding her head: "Hit, everyone, come and punch me out."
No one came to hit him. Since things have reached this point, we have to think about how to solve it. Compared with other magical beast, Dilong is easier to solve. After discussing for a long time, everyone thinks that fishing is more reliable.
The earth dragon is actually an extra-large earthworm. It is afraid of water and light. It is a kind of carnivorous magical beast with a mild temperament. It has no active aggressiveness to a lively jumping target. Of course, this is similar to its large body and slow speed. Insensitivity also has a lot to do with it. Charade took everyone with the help of Bam village chief and villagers to spend six days working out a thick rope nearly 100 meters long, and hit a large hook like an anchor, and then Lorist will redeem the crime, a A man carrying a large iron hook tied with a thick rope entered the mine.
Walking in, and found that there are more people around, but it is Els. Lorist asks, "What are you doing?"
Els said: "Of course my brother is here to accompany you. If Charade had Yuri and Terman to help pull the rope, they would come together. Because we are companions."
Lorist was moved by tears on the spot.
After walking for a while, Els said almost. So put the big iron hook down and wrap the rag, Lorist pours the remaining half bucket of potion on the big iron dog and the rag.
Soon, there was another "snoring" sound in the mine. Els said to run, and the two rushed out of the cave.
Before reaching the entrance of the cave, the thick rope on the ground jumped up and collapsed tightly in the air of one meter high. Lorist said joyfully: "Hooked up."
Out of the mine, Charade is directing the villagers to start a tug-of-war competition using several large urns and earth dragons in the cave. From morning to afternoon, I finally pulled Dilong to the entrance of the cave, but Dilong did not know what to stand in the cave, and did not come out alive. Finally, in the slogan of "One, Two, Three, and Hard", Lorist saw the mine hole as if a flash flood, black **** blood and mucus spewed out, the big iron hooks flew out, and there were large and small hooks on it Tubular strips.
Charade took a closer look and said with satisfaction: "Yes, the internal organs are all pulled out, and the earth dragon is dead. We will go in tomorrow and pull out the skin."
The earth dragon's regeneration ability is very strong, and the external body damage can be easily recovered. So people took advantage of the characteristics of Dilong to eat and swallow directly into the intestines, and came up with the hunting method of Dilong. As long as the internal organs of the earth dragon are pulled out, the earth dragon is finished.
There is nothing worthwhile on the earth dragon. The only thing that is useful is the thick skin. People cut the skin into pieces and put it into the pot. When the soup is cooked, it becomes a good adhesive. After mixing the mud and sand, they can build the wall and lay the foundation. When it is dry, it will be extremely strong.
Because it was the Lorist problem, Charade gave Dilong's hide to Dean Bam, which made him very happy. With the skin of Dilong as an adhesive, he can build a batch of good houses in the village for the villagers to live in.
It took another three days, Lorist and the partners cleared all the gold eaters in the mine, and hung an iron cage in the corner. A cage of a gold eater was put into the cage to let it rot naturally. In this way, if a gold eater goes through in the future, you will smell the death of the gold eater Aura left in the iron cage, and will naturally avoid the mine.
With all this done, everyone said goodbye to Bam, and set out on their way back to the city.
