Pava sat at the table by the window, holding a charcoal pencil and writing on the paper.
"Dear Jyoti, I have decorated Saniro's house. It is just as you requested. It has two floors, with a good view and sunlight. All the furniture is made of wood..."
"The travel expenses are still sufficient. I eat carefully every day, sleep well, and my hands, feet, and facial features are all sound. Please don't let the elves send me gems and pearls anymore. If there are too many, it will cause everyone's dissatisfaction and jealousy...
…”
"The urban environment of Sanilo is completely different from the past. Many incredible creatures live here, and Mayor Chapman manages it in an orderly manner."
"Many of the extraordinary beings who come here are very wise and can speak great truths and profound insights. I once debated with a man-eating crab scholar. He said that the crabs that people have eaten are far more powerful than the people who have eaten crabs.
Much more."
"Why can people eat crabs, but crabs can't eat people?"
"The scholar believes that the crab tribe developed man-eating crabs in order to gradually escape the fate of being constantly hunted and eaten by humans. Therefore, this is a kind of resistance and forces humans to face them. Man-eating crabs are also found in Sanilo
It’s true that they don’t eat humans. Some of them are even vegetarians. Their favorite things are honey and potatoes. Isn’t it interesting?”
"Of course, it's also because Mr. Philus, the King of Bones, is here to take charge, and no one dares to cause trouble."
Pava smoothed out the letter paper.
At this time, a huge eye appeared outside the window, looking inside curiously.
Pava opened the window and threw a handful of grapes to the other party: "Big man, wait a minute, I will finish writing it soon."
The sandworm outside the window also opened its mouth wide and ate the grapes in one bite, making a popping sound in its mouth to express its gratitude. Then it twisted its huge snake-shaped soft body and continued to sit in the lotus position outside the house.
Pava sat down and continued writing furiously.
"Dear Jyoti, I look forward to being with you in this beautiful and wonderful city. I love you Pava and kiss you thousands of times."
After he finished writing, he stuffed the letter into the envelope and walked to the dining table.
On the seat next to the table, an elf had fallen asleep due to waiting. It folded its body like a baby, with its head resting on its feet.
"Hello?"
Pava gently fanned himself with the envelope.
The elf jumped up and flew into the air. It had a face like a human, but was slender and had a pair of transparent wings.
Pava handed the envelope to him: "Please send this letter to Ms. Jyoti, the dryad next to the Elf Lake in the Symbiosis Forest in the New World in the South."
"Ms. Jyoti will pay you, thank you for your hard work."
The elf glanced at the envelope, which had an address drawn on it.
It nodded, hugged the letter and flew out of the window.
Pava also put on his leather jacket and wide-brimmed hat, and opened the door.
He jumped on the sandworm's back and started walking down the street.
The city streets are very lively.
The man-eating crabs on the street walked sideways, talking to each other along the way. They used their crab claws to carry several wooden barrels, which exuded a sweet smell of honey. They had obviously just bought delicious food, so they couldn't wait to get there.
Crab claws move very fast.
The frost trolls were at the canal, carrying pieces of ice from the galleys and storing them in wooden boxes.
This is an important commodity in Sanilo. With the ice and snow monsters here, the ice will not melt easily, and only here can complete ice cubes be safely transported.
The fishmen also emerged from the water one after another, and they threw the fish, shrimps and shellfish they caught to the shore. The fishmen on the shore packed these seafood in wooden basins, covered them with crushed ice, and carried them for sale.
.
Pava looked to the other side.
At this time, many merchants came to the dwarf-only store. They were all looking for the most cost-effective weapons and equipment, and after buying them, they went to Yaocheng and Yancheng to earn the difference.
The cave monsters became the architects of the city. They carried luggage and toolboxes, used charcoal to write on the stones, and hammered around the houses to make the houses stronger and more beautiful.
…
Pava arrived at his destination.
Temple of Saniro.
Different from Yaocheng and Yancheng, the temple here was built by fish people. It is said that it was originally made entirely of clay and wood. After many repairs and continuous fine-tuning, it now has a brand new look.
The surface of the temple is inlaid with many gems and pearls, emitting colorful light. Because the clay is mixed with fluorite powder, it also emits a dim light at night.
There is a group of fishmen standing around, they are the guards of the temple.
Here, Pava saw a man in black robes with three holy flowers on his chest.
Pava jumped off the rough back of the sandworm, walked over quickly, and greeted him in the islanders' dialect: "Long time no see."
The other party also smiled back at him: "Long time no see, Pava."
"You are now a famous bard. "Pava's Bizarre Adventure" is very popular in both Yaocheng and Yancheng, and many young scholars in the seminary are watching it."
"It just records some stories that everyone has experienced."
Pava smiled and said: "Chubirol, you should be the youngest Sanhua scholar, right?"
The first time the two met was outside the temple in Yao City.
At that time, Pavard had just regained his freedom, and Cupilol had just graduated from the seminary.
Years later, the two of them took different paths in life.
"How long will you stay here this time?" Pava asked.
"I will return to Yaocheng tomorrow."
Cupilol said: "I came here on behalf of Medicine Spoon to discuss some inter-city cooperation matters with Mayor Chapman."
"And... you are officially invited to join the seminary. If you are willing, you can directly become a Sanhua scholar recognized by the seminary."
Pava declined.
Cupilol seemed to have been prepared in advance and stopped persuading.
"By the way, I heard that there is a secret society in Yaocheng called [Flame Society]. Do you know the details?"
Pava asked curiously: "It is said that this is a group of scholars who want to directly study extraordinary powers and even make some special mystical rituals and medicines."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I heard it."
Cupilol nodded: "But this association is more like a rumor, there is no definite information. It is not even sure whether this organization exists."
"It's about the dragon's nest. Can what the dwarves say be trusted?"
Pava spread his hands: "I haven't visited this Dragon King yet. To be honest, there are scholars from your seminary who have been there. Wouldn't it be better to ask them?"
"Those guys didn't meet the dragon at all, they just saw a cursed snowman..." Cupidrol looked helpless: "The Blast Furnace Adventure Group often disappears, and it's difficult to even confirm the news."
"Adventurers are always on the road."
"See you next time then."
"See you next time."
The two said goodbye.
Pava sat on the sandworm's back again and rushed all the way to the dock.
On a certain galley, [The Strange Man of the Blast Furnace]'s old friends were waiting for him. They were going to visit the dragon's nest again. But this time, they were doing it in secret and could not tell anyone.
In "Pawa's Bizarre Adventure: Dragon's Nest", this extraordinary journey will be completely recorded.
God bless you!
Pava prayed silently in his heart.
I hope this time goes well and everyone can come back intact.
…
Looking at Pava's retreating back, Cupilol was thoughtful.
He pulled up his hood and walked into the streets of Sanilo City. He quickly disappeared among the sandworms and trolls.
In a dark room, Cupilol took off his scholar's coat, revealing the coarse linen clothes underneath.
There are already four men and women in the house.
"Now that we're all here, let's get started."
Cupilol said: "It is best for everyone to reduce their actions in the near future. The Flame Society has attracted attention from the outside world."
Everyone frowned.
"Should we stop the experiments on the potion?"
"of course not."
Cupilol said categorically: "Master Medicine Spoon has repeatedly emphasized that the magic potion must not be stopped. This will be the first time that human beings use knowledge to touch extraordinary power."
"The [anaesthesia] it brings may open a new era."
All four people sighed: "Master Yaoshao has been researching for thirty years, combining medicine and theology, just for this first magic potion."
Some people worry: "But...will this be blasphemous?"
"If the gods want to punish, let's punish. I think the gods will be proud of us, our people!"
Cupilol said firmly: "The purpose of making magic potions from the extracts of extraordinary creatures is to save more patients, help them treat their wounds, and dig out the rotten parts... Someone has to do this."
"The meaning of the existence of the Flame Society is to bring fire to those who are in darkness. This is also our ultimate goal. Gods cannot do everything by themselves. We must learn to light the fire ourselves. This is also the test and revelation given to us by God Yao.
…”
"Everyone, let's get started!"
…
In front of the screen, Lu Yao, who was looking down from a bird's eye view, watched all this and felt a little relieved.
Yao Shao never forgets her original intention, and always remembers to combine medicine and theology to treat people's illnesses. She figured out the route of potions, and she is indeed worthy of the name of genius.
The scholars headed by the Temple Society are carefully trying to explore the extraordinary realm of natural existence, while the ascetic monks are observing and understanding the miracles of gods. They are two different directions and systems.
The former is the collective wisdom and knowledge of the group, while the latter is individual hard work and challenging the limits.
