Chapter 53: Familiar knock on the door (please follow up)
Roja wants to visit Phillip in Border Town.
Before, it was because there was a stronghold of the Eagle Group in the town, so he didn't dare to get close.
Moreover, weak monsters such as rats crossing the street, and powerful monsters such as tigers crossing the street, are existences that other races look down upon.
It would have been impossible for him to walk normally on the town streets and appear in broad daylight.
But now with the cover of the ghost curtain, it seems that he can go to some places he wants to go...
After the baby dragon finished chewing the magic stones in his hand, Roja rode on the back of the moose again, and the baby dragon flew to his on the shoulders.
Set off.
The moose carried him quickly toward the outside of the Undead Mountains.
When approaching the "Undead Line of Defense" in the border area inside and outside the mountains, Roya made the moose slow down.
At first, he integrated the bone dragon and crossed the defense lines here directly from the sky, but now he has to go straight through from the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."
A group of fully armed skeleton soldiers walked neatly in the forest, as if on patrol.
Roya tried to ride a moose and followed them slowly, with the distance between the two sides being only one meter.
But none of the skeleton soldiers noticed anything unusual.
Having experienced the "command" ability of General Skeleton, Roja suspected that most of the low-level monsters in the undead army had no thoughts of their own.
Just like a robot puppet, it can only carry out the orders implanted by the Dead General in a step-by-step manner, and its perception is extremely low.
God-given perpetual motion machines like the Skeleton Soldiers
do not farm the land, enter factory assembly lines, or build Dyson spheres that wrap stars, but they are actually used for meaningless patrols?
What a waste of natural resources!
Roja shook his head,
He picked off the head of a skeleton soldier at the end of the queue, handed the soul crystal inside to the young dragon's mouth and gave it a taste.
"Ouch!"
The young dragon said it was so delicious.
——Perhaps due to racial talent, this little thing has a very high IQ, and Roja is able to use his mind to conduct "semantically accurate" two-way communication with it.
In this way, the young dragon can help him complete more complex tasks in the future.
After passing another group of skeleton soldiers, Roja didn't stop anymore and rushed towards the valley checkpoint at full speed.
On the way, he also saw the undead knight commander wearing purple patterned enchanted steel armor, riding on a bone dragon and wiping his enchanted sword.
But the other party didn't notice him passing by not far away at all.
After a few minutes, he felt like he was in a deserted place and successfully returned to the outer area from the depths of the mountains.
Let's go back to my hometown first.
Roya let the moose run wildly, as fast as a whirlwind.
When he approached the cave halfway up the mountain, he noticed at a glance that the spider webs and poison demon hives he had placed here had been cleared away.
Apparently this place has also been visited by mercenaries.
Hmm, does this mean that the Eagle Group is about to "clear out" the outside of the mountain range?
When he came to the cave, Roja found that the "Peppa Pig" he had poked out on the rock wall with a spear had been drawn with a sharp knife in a circle.
There is also a question mark next to it.
Well, I don’t know what the mercenaries thought when they saw this pattern.
After staying here for a while, Roja rushed towards the border town.
...
At noon,
Border Town, the hotel base of the Eagle Group.
In the werewolf's room, Philip was sitting in front of the window, learning healing magic with Mellie.
During this period, Wolf and most of the mercenaries were hunting monsters in the Undead Mountains during the day, and only some of them would come back at night to rest.
There are not many people left to guard the town stronghold, so the hotel is relatively quiet at the moment.
"Swiss, rustle..."
Meili lowered her head to write magic words, and the quill made a slight friction sound on the paper. "Here you go, memorize them all."
She stopped writing and pushed the paper forward. It was already filled with complex magic words.
"Oh."
Phillip, who was sitting opposite, picked up the paper, his expression obviously absent-minded.
"What are you thinking about, Philip? Are you thinking about some unrealistic escape plan again?"
The girl pushed aside the brown bangs that covered her eyes, put her chin in one hand and looked at Philip, and gently poked his forehead with her finger.
"No, I just..."
Philip hesitated and said, "Merry, can you lend me some money!"
Last time, Wallace gave him a list of materials, saying that he would be able to do it after preparing the materials. Summon him again to make a magic potion.
However, Philip found the purchase channels for most of the materials, but found that he could not afford them at all.
So now he wants to borrow money from Meili.
"But, all my money was given by Wolf..."
The girl tilted her head and looked at the boy who unconsciously looked away with interest,
"Didn't you say that you don't want the money given by the mercenaries? "
Philip gritted his teeth and said simply: "I regret it. I hate mercenaries, but money is innocent!" "
Huh -?"
Melly turned her head and glanced at him sideways, got up and walked to Wolf's bed. In front of me, I pulled out a few rusty copper coins from the wrinkled sheets under the pillow.
"Clang!"
The copper coin fell on the table in front of Philip, vibrating slightly and making a sweet sound.
Meili sat back in her seat and raised her chin, "Here, take it and use it." "Is it
really okay for us to take Wolf's money directly like this? Isn't this stealing?" the young man couldn't help but ask.
Merry waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Wolf always misremembers how much money he has in the Eagle Group's vault, let alone the few copper coins under his pillow. Even if he is discovered, She doesn't care about this small amount of money."
"Forget it, it's better not to take it." The young man stuffed the money back under the pillow.
Moreover, just a few copper coins couldn't afford to buy the materials he needed. At least a few silver coins would be enough.
But if he asked Wolf for so much money, he would feel uncomfortable on the one hand, and on the other hand he would be more afraid of being asked about the use of so much money.
Do you want to say that there is something wrong with your body and you need to see a doctor?
Uh...
Phillip suddenly remembered that the last time,
when he was thrown on the bed, he used the excuse that he was hurting down there, and that even if Mellie cast a spell, it couldn't be cured.
As a result, the werewolf directly took him to the very handsome elf, took off his pants, and asked him to use the most advanced magic treatment.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !
That scene made him want to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
He definitely didn't want to see that elf's teasing eyes again!
...
In the evening, Philip hurriedly left the hotel before Wolf came back and returned to his home.
"Money, money, where can I get money?"
He took out the hidden jar and counted the few copper coins in it over and over again, feeling very worried.
At this moment,
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong." There were six gentle knocks on the door.
who is it?
The young man stood up in confusion,
"It's definitely not a blacksmith. That man wanted to break the door open every time."
And for some reason, the knock on the door felt familiar to him.
Phillip hid the jar quietly and asked loudly: "Excuse me, who is outside?"
"Ouch~!"
As a result, a sound like a puppy came from outside the door.
