"So you're back with a newfound hidden mission?"
Some time later, at noon, the sun brought the wind of the grassland past the entrance of the temporary camp. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had just walked back here with a tired pace, pointed at Duan Qing's face angrily, as if he was a little angry at what he had just done.
This news I learned from the other party: "We already have enough task lines on hand, and you want to continue to add more? You see, we are not busy yet, right?"
"This can be regarded as a continuation of the Surtu line. How can it be called an extra line?" Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and put one page of the adventurer's manual full of handwriting on his own
He shook his head and said, "If I hadn't worked so hard, we probably wouldn't have even found Surtu's whereabouts."
"I really don't know whether I should say you are lucky or not." She covered her face and let out a sigh. Xue Ling Huan Bing finally put aside the confusion in her heart: "Then do the people of the Su Clan know about this?
"
"I have already told Sutar, and he is currently bringing people over." Duan Qing also shook his head: "However, given the current alert situation of the Hulun tribe, it is doubtful whether such a large foreign team can enter smoothly.
Hard to say."
"We have already said hello to Hu Mobei in advance, hoping that he and his men can give us more convenience." After returning to the camp after a busy morning, the voice belonging to Gedman also followed him slowly.
The movement of walking back rang in Duan Qing's ears: "But even so, it will be difficult to complete the task you brought back."
"Let me see... blue blood grass, Cecilia flower, silver wind seed, and the heart of the grassland blood lion - what are these?" Grabbing the adventurer's manual in Duan Qing's hand, Xue
Ling Huan Bing's eyes moving back and forth became darker and darker: "Are you sure this is the material for sobering up? I don't think your alchemy formula is that complicated, right?"
"God knows what kind of powerful medicine that dragon's blood is." So Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "Although I am a magician and alchemist, my research on wine is not that deep.
What's more, this is a brewing recipe from another world, one that can make even dragons drunk..."
"It's beyond my expectation that you can hide a bottle of green stone wine on your body and still take advantage of him at this most critical moment." Asahi also returned to the camp and collapsed on the ground in a large figure.
Dongsheng said weakly: "I stabbed the old man's itchy spot and asked him to give you the formula that can relieve Surtu's coma... But considering that none of us have heard the names of these materials,
In this state, it is almost impossible to complete the collection of this formula."
"Is this the end of the line?"
After letting out such a sigh, Goldmane, who was holding the big shield, suddenly stood up: "By the way, how about asking Fula? Since it is wine related to dragons, she must know something about it.
.”
"Don't mention it, I haven't seen her since I came to the Hulun tribe." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "I don't know what strange thing that guy found again and ran away.
What's weird, there's no hope in counting on her."
"Then what should we do? We can't really go looking for it on the grassland by ourselves. This is simply more exaggerated than finding a needle in a haystack."
"That old guy Elder didn't do too much. He still told us some clues about where to look." Duan Qing raised the adventurer's manual in his hand and started reading one by one.
: "Blue blood grass is a kind of grass with leaves showing a blue shimmer. It often grows in dark places that are rich in minerals and cannot be illuminated by sunlight... Holy shit, how is this possible? This is an open grassland!
"
"This means it's underground." The frowning Xue Ling Huan Bing said after thinking: "Places like underground ruins are rare, but ordinary underground mineral deposits can still be found, as long as you ask around a little
After looking at the surrounding situation, the rest is a competition of shoveling techniques."
"That makes sense." Duan Qingfu, who looked up at the white-haired woman making a strong gesture for a while and nodded, whispered again: "Then the second thing - Cecilia flower, is said to be a kind of flower that grows high in the grassland.
The beautiful flowers everywhere, with pure white flowers and beautiful leaves, can stand firm in powerful storms without being destroyed..."
"It is a very desirable flower, but we have never seen it before." Goldman raised his chin and frowned: "Based on this description, this kind of flower should be more likely to appear.
It should be in a place on the grassland where the monsoon is relatively strong."
"We can ask within the clan to see if anyone has seen this kind of flower." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who thought for a moment, then gave his suggestion again: "Then the Su clan may have seen this kind of flower, Hulun
Although the tribe has not migrated for a long time, there should be a lot of foreign merchants and refugees in such a large tribe."
"If we think about it this way, we might be able to collect other materials." Duan Qing nodded his head: "Including the previous blue blood grass and silver wind seeds... Well, only
The heart of the last grassland blood lion is probably not available for purchase."
"Although I have never heard of what these hearts are, I have heard of the name Grassland Blood Lion." He got up from his paralyzed appearance, and the voice belonging to Asahi Dongsheng also sounded among the team again: "Recently
The name of this creature seems to have appeared during the Hulun people's elimination of threats and hunting in the wild. Most of the hunters and tribal warriors who went out to hunt had also dealt with this kind of wild beast that liked to be alone but was extremely powerful. However,
Whether they are powerful or not, and whether the warriors have left behind their hearts—I cannot guarantee these things."
"Looking at your appearance today, you seem to be having a miserable time with the Hulun people." So Duan Qing turned his head and said, "Why, are they making things difficult for you?"
"It's not that difficult, but to become one of the fighting members of the Hulun tribe, the effort and price paid are heavier than I imagined." Saying these words, Chao Ri Dongsheng gestured to Duan Qing.
Broken arm: "And I'm still a disabled person, so it's even harder to get their approval."
"So being a soldier is never a good job. Fortunately, the battle hasn't really started yet." Duan Qing turned his head to the other side: "What about the progress of the war? Have those 'things' really appeared as Hu Mobei described?
?”
"I went to the outer corridor to take a look around and carefully surveyed the nearby activities." Xue Ling Huan Bing took up the topic and nodded his head: "Because of safety reasons, I didn't dare to go too far.
, but I did see some vague movements at the end of the grassland, probably those wild beasts were getting closer."
"So this threat really exists." After sighing and saying this, Duan Qing then continued with a look of helplessness: "Although Hu Mobei's attitude and identity, he disdains to use such a method.
Did those who came to trick us...have they notified other ethnic groups?"
"The Sioux and Wabu tribes seem to have been prepared for it a long time ago. I don't know whether they knew about it or the Hulun tribe told them." Gedman, who is in charge of this aspect, said.
He replied calmly: "I tried to find out the reason for this through my own connections, but they seemed unwilling to explain. Some said it was a 'sanction' from God, while others have been looking forward to the breath of the sacred mountain.
Able to protect them..."
"God's sanction and the breath of the sacred mountain? Do you mean the monsoon on the grassland?" Duan Qing tilted his head, and seemed to have entered the thinking mode: "But if Hu Mobei's words refer to this,
, then they should have a corresponding defense method - well, it seems I need to go back and check it out again."
"Have you never investigated the magical structure of the Hulun tribe before?" Seemingly understanding the other party's murmur at this time, Xueling Huanbing replied angrily: "What have you been doing before, professional?"
?”
"What else can I do? Don't look at how many tasks I have on my shoulders." Duan Qing pointed at his chest angrily: "First it was a bunch of chores, then there were missing persons notices, tasks to find people, and now I have to help
People sober up——"
"Okay, okay, I understand." He stretched out his hand to stop the other party's words. Xue Ling Huanbing curled her lips and said, "We will also help you share some tasks, isn't it just to collect materials - how much do you need?"
"Probably one copy of each should be enough, right?" Duan Qing looked down at his adventurer's manual: "Elder didn't explain it clearly, so we can only act according to circumstances."
"We will try to collect as much as possible." He propped up his body and then turned around and walked towards the direction he came from: "Cecilia flowers, Silver Wind seeds, and other hearts...
…I will help you keep an eye on it.”
"Let's just leave this impromptu meeting. We all still have a lot of things to do." Waving his hands and watching Asahi Dongsheng leave, Xueling Huanbing then smiled at Duan Qing: "Don't have too many expectations.
I hope, if my investigation can have some effect, or if I can complete it in advance——"
"I will also come over and help you as soon as possible."
************************************
"What? Ask me if I have these materials?"
The busy adventurous life soon started again in a tense atmosphere and situation. Duan Qing, who was full of doubts, then dragged his heavy steps back to the Hulun tribe. He looked at the windmill and it still seemed sparsely populated.
The crowd on the street, and the inquiry that came to Elder again was naturally met with a wall: "Are you the client or am I the client? Are there any adventurers who ask the mission issuer to provide the mission target in turn?"
"That's not what I mean, but we did encounter some difficulties in this aspect." Duan Qing scratched his head and replied in a low voice: "And with your wisdom and ability, elder, it should be good to have one or two of these materials.
Very reasonable, right?”
"No." He said these two words simply and roughly, and Elder slammed the door in front of him with his backhand: "Go away! Find a way by yourself!"
"Hey, hey! At least let me take a look at Surtu's condition! Hey!"
A heavy loud noise and a closed door were coldly placed in front of Duan Qing, making the bitter smile on the gray-robed magician's face become more obvious: "Okay, although I don't want to be a fish in the pond, but I can imagine
Find out what kind of treatment Sutar and his men encountered... Phew."
"Then let's follow the plan first."
After muttering these words to himself, Duan Qing squatted down along the street extending in front of the windmill building: "Although it is not very reliable to find veins through magic induction, but
It should at least be able to play a little role... Hmm? This place really seems to have some feeling."
"Why, you don't think these are traces left by ancient ruins?"
As if he was talking to someone, Duan Qing, who was crouching on the ground, moved little by little along the road in front of the windmill: "Indeed, they may be built by the Hulun people themselves, but this at least shows that they
It’s related to the ancient relics on this continent.”
"..."
"How do I know what these traces represent? I'm not capable enough to find out the truth of the entire incident just by relying on these traces... Okay, okay, I'm just inexperienced. If you have the ability, can you teach me?
"
"Hey, why is it you again?"
A muffled roar sounded again in front of the gray-robed magician. The spear in front of his eyes also raised Duan Qing from the ground with the angry eyes and warning tone of the two Hulun soldiers: "What are you doing?
?Stop your suspicious behavior!"
"Should I praise you for your due diligence or for your professionalism? I was picked up by you not even half a minute after I checked." So Duan Qing also raised his hands helplessly: "And it's been so long, you guys
Are you still doubting my identity? Do I look like a spy?"
"Don't think that with the protection of Ai-the elders, we can get rid of our suspicion of foreigners like you!" One of the two soldiers surrounding him continued to warn with an indifferent expression: "If you do this again,
We can only really imprison you as an enemy!"
"Okay, okay, let me walk then." Looking at the windmill door behind him that was still closed, Duan Qing finally let out a helpless sigh: "Looking at your faces as if you are facing a formidable enemy, I thought
The war has—"
"Duan——Lin Yuan cuts off the water!"
Before the ultimatum was finished, an urgent call sounded in front of the scene where several people were pulling together. The voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing appeared here at an unknown time and then brought countless gazes.
He hurriedly appeared at the end of the street: "Quick, go back!"
"They are taking people to surround our tent!"
