"I am a bright squirrel. For passers-by, this is already the Meditation Mountains. If you go further, it will be Yueqin Manor. Judging from your dress, are you planning to go there?"
Angele squatted and looked down at the other person. "I am indeed planning to go to Yueqin Manor. Can you give me some help? About this place? I will pay accordingly. For example, some soft white bread and salted peanuts.
”.
"I have told three groups of people this information. Unfortunately, although I have eaten a lot of delicious food, most of these people have not been able to come back. In this case, do you still want to go?" replied the bright squirrel.
"Tell me about the news over there first." Angelet smiled.
"Okay." The little squirrel nodded helplessly, sat down next to the black-spotted mushroom, and began to talk slowly, leaning against the mushroom.
"I don't know who built Yueqin Manor, but we prefer to call it Yueqin Garden than the name of the manor, because it emits a very strong fragrance of flowers every year. Except for you humans, no other race dares to
Go in. I once saw a formal knight leading many soldiers in, but then one soldier escaped with his face covered in blood. And the man has become crazy. "
"Are there any precious medicinal materials like dragon scale flowers in it?" Angelet asked.
"Not just dragon scale flowers, but also starlight grass, Harding grass, giant eye flower, and many other precious plants." The squirrel answered affirmatively. "In addition... Angelet frowned slightly as the squirrel described it.
When he got up, he had a vague guess in his mind.
"It should be a natural resource point that has not yet been discovered. It may also be a private resource point set up by a wizard who was still alive. Now it is ruined for some reason. The traps and dangers inside are still there. But the isolation spell is slowly
After it faded and dissipated, someone from the Sarin Snake stole a Dragon Scale Flower from it."
Angelet listened carefully to the squirrel's description and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Those who can set resource points are at least at the level of official wizards. The resource points left by such characters definitely contain extremely precious materials. However, listening to Squirrel's description, it seems that the resource points are still hidden and closed, and can only be used for a certain period of time.
Only then will there be a slight gap inside.
"Then the gap is released once a year. How long will it take until the gap opens?" Angelet continued to ask.
The little squirrel drew a few times on the ground and calculated the time. "There is still more than a month left. When the gap is opened, many birds will fly out from the manor and hover around this area. They will be all over the sky and last for about an hour.
, if you don’t come out after one hour of entering, then basically there is no need to come out. The gap will be closed again, and the real Yueqin Garden will not open the gap until the next time it is opened.”
"Is there more than a month left?" Angelet pondered for a moment and stood up, "Please come with me. I will get you some delicious food from the car. Thank you for your help."
"No, no, no, hehe..." The squirrel rubbed its little paws, with a smile on its face. It said no, but it followed Angelet's pace without slowing down at all. The big tail was waving like a ball of hair.
Put it away.
I took some snacks from the car to the bright squirrel and watched it staggering back to the woods with a bunch of things. Angele leaned against the carriage and watched Tom change the wheels, but his face showed a look of confusion.
Thinking expression.
After a while, Tom changed the wheels, put away the tools, and stood up.
"Master, you can go."
"kindness."
Angelet nodded, got on the carriage, and moved on.
Sitting in the carriage, Angelet couldn't sleep anymore. He turned his face and looked outside. The pine forest outside quickly receded, and almost no people could be seen. From time to time, some white dots were arched on the green and yellow grass.
Stones. Occasionally, you can see the silhouette of unknown creatures passing by.
After the carriage drove forward for more than an hour, a fork appeared in front of it. At the fork, there was a brown wooden sign. The fork-shaped signs pointed to two roads respectively. Place names and arrow directions were painted on them.
The carriage stopped by the direction sign. Angelet got out of the car and looked at the signs on the sign.
The branch road to Yueqin Manor is to the left, while the road to Mercy Town is to the right.
He looked at the ground. There were obviously many marks on the ground to the right, including horse hoof prints, wheel prints, and footprints. The road to Yueqin Manor on the left was full of weeds, and it looked like no one had stepped on it for a long time.
.
"Go to the town of Meuse. When you get there, just stay there and wait for me while I do something." Angelet ordered.
"Yes." Tom nodded. Before he went out, his family had already received two hundred kingdom gold coins from Angele. As a reward for this journey, this money was already a lot, considering the journey alone.
, not to mention that Angele has to calculate his wages normally every month... Mesi Town is a deserted remote town. A street with more than a dozen built wooden houses lined up on both sides constitutes a small town.
All the buildings in the town include a tavern, a grocery store, and a 'small hotel' where residents work part-time. There are only more than a hundred residents in the town, and if you count carefully, it is just a village. This is what Angelet found before he came over.
Information that people have queried.
Brown wooden houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the street. Underfoot is a dirty gray road. Occasionally, you can see some wet ground on the roadside, which is obviously wet by the dirty water that was poured out.
Not a single person was seen in the town for a long time. As Angele walked on the street, he could only feel a lot of eyes quietly falling on him from the windows on both sides.
Walking along the street, on the right side just before exiting the town, is a three-story building. It is actually made of light yellow stone bricks. A black horse is tied to the side of the house and is munching with its head lowered.
There is also a carriage parked on the lawn. It is also a two-horse carriage with a double row. The body is white and has the black heraldry mark of Libra printed on it.
Two men dressed as servants were chatting beside the carriage.
Angelet walked in front, and Tom followed behind in a carriage. The sound of horse hoofbeats immediately attracted the attention of the two servants. One of them hurried into the stone brick house, probably to report.
Angelet approached the stone brick house and happened to see a wooden sign hanging on the iron fence outside. It read crookedly in Angama language: Hotel Accommodation.
This is the brick house where two young men also walked out. One was dressed simply in gray linen clothes, with short brown hair and a smile on his face. He seemed to be the owner of this place. The other man who followed behind was wearing a dark coat.
Wearing a red robe and a calm face, his face could not be said to be handsome, but it was not ugly either. Although he looked very ordinary, he was standing at the door like this, his eyes following Angelet, but there was a hint of weirdness in his calmness.
"Welcome, I'm Steven, a resident here. Are you here to stay?" The owner of the hotel came over and asked loudly.
"Of course, what's the price?" Tom got out of the carriage and started to bargain with the owner.
"Fifteen silver coins a night per person."
"Less, it's too expensive, fourteen."
"But guests, this is the price we have always had here, and it has not changed."
"As long as you pay less, we will pay it all in one lump sum."
"But...."
Here, Tom, the coachman, was negotiating the price with the owner, but Angelet glanced at the man in red robe. He saw a red flame pattern embroidered on the man's high-bundled collar.
"Hello." The other party came over to greet me.
Angelet smiled back. "Santiago?" he asked in a low voice.
The man in red robe shook his head: "It's better not to mention these things when you are away from home."
"That's right." Angelet nodded.
The man in red robe stepped aside and revealed the hotel door: "There are two other comrades inside. No matter where you are from, we all have the same purpose. Please come in first."
Angele was not polite and strode into the first floor of the hotel.
In the living room on the first floor, three mahogany round tables are placed in a horn shape, and two groups of people are sitting at two of the tables.
On the left side, there is a person shrouded in a black cloak, with his face covered, and it is impossible to tell whether he is a man or a woman. At another table, there is an old man with gray hair sitting, and there is also a
She has an ordinary face but a pretty figure as a girl in hunting attire.
Angelet's entry made the old man and the child shrink their eyes slightly. The old man frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to see Angelet appear.
Angelet walked to the empty table and sat down. The atmosphere in the whole living room was a little awkward and dull. The man in red robe also walked in and sat down next to the man in black robe. He closed his eyes, not knowing whether
Meditate or rest.
Throughout the living room, the three tables maintained a subtle tacit understanding, and no one spoke first.
Angelet felt traces of energy particles from these people, which meant that these people were at least second-class apprentices. However, it is unlikely that they dared to come here after hearing the evil reputation of Yueqin Manor.
A first-class apprentice who is a little better than ordinary people.
Not long after, Tom agreed on the price with the owner, walked in, talked to Angelet for a few words, and then went out again. He needed to keep an eye on the carriage to prevent anything from being stolen.
After a while, after lunch time, a fat woman wearing a gray and white apron walked in with a large tray and began to distribute food to three tables.
On every table were dark jerky, wheat cakes and hot mushroom soup. Angelet picked up the wheat cake and took a bite. It was dry and crispy, like soda crackers on earth, and a little bit...
It tastes salty. The dried meat is just like a stone. Angele threw a piece into his mouth and chewed it for a long time without being able to chew it. In the end, he just swallowed it. Only the mushroom soup was good, Angele
Pick up the mushroom soup and gulp down the rest of the food.
Seeing that he had finished eating, the shop owner came over and whispered to him, and the two of them got up and walked to the second floor.
The room on the right side of the innermost room on the second floor is the residence arranged by the hotel owner for Angele. There is nothing in it except a bed and a table with a set of drinking utensils. There is also a faint smell of dust in the air. Look.
It seemed that I had just packed up not long ago.
Angelet readily paid him and Tom two months' rent in one lump sum. The hotel owner then walked out of the room with a smile on his face. (To be continued...rq
