At dawn, the grass on the bank of the south river in Takarai Town was bent down by gusts of morning wind.
A group of black magicians flew from the sky. They flew along the river bank for a while, and found nothing unusual on the river bank, so they turned around and flew south.
These black magicians rode on magic harpoons and flew extremely flexibly in the sky. The magicians' robes made a loud sound in the wind, trying to return to the black flags fluttering in the wind.
After the black magicians walked away, Surdak and his party poked their heads out of the grass and watched the black magicians go away.
"Fortunately we hid in time, these black magicians came so quickly."
Gulitem stood up straight, walked from the grass to the roadside, and said to Surdak not far away.
His boots and trousers were stained with thorn nuts in the weeds. It was a fruit as big as a date and covered with hidden thorns. The kernels inside were very bitter and would cause diarrhea if eaten too much. He used his big, thick hands to
Pick these thorns off your trouser legs.
Samira jumped down from a mango tree on the roadside. There were green fruits the size of fists hanging from the tree, but these fruits were not edible yet...
When he discovered the mango tree, the ogre tried it. The sourness made him unable to speak much for a long time.
"What should we do? Are we still going to Bansk?"
Samira looked at Suldak and asked.
Suldak opened the map and thought that the bearded man and the town residents were heading to Bansk Town. Going there would cause unnecessary trouble for the team. He looked at Mukuso City again and saw on the map
Found the town of Khatangada.
According to the magician Avide, Hatangada Town is also a large town in the Ganbu plane second only to Mukuso.
"Let's see first. Maybe it would be good to return to Hatangada Town. There won't be black magicians everywhere."
Suldak said in a relaxed tone.
"Okay, let's go to Hatangada Town. Maybe I can buy the required magic materials there..."
Magician Avid immediately raised his hand in approval.
"Don't worry about the magic materials, as long as you make a list, I will figure out a solution for the rest!"
Surdak said to Aved.
The magician obviously didn't think that Surdak had this ability, so he said perfunctorily:
"When I sort it out, I will give you the detailed list..."
…
The summer in the dry cloth plane is not hot. Suldak believes that the main reason is that there is no scorching sun above the head, so there is no need to hide yourself in the shade of trees.
The Ganbu plane is a small plane with a terrain that is high in the north and low in the south. All rivers meander to the south.
Going north along the river, walking out of the outskirts of Takale Town, and coming to a road leading to the north, we saw many residents fleeing Takale Town, lining up in a long line on the road heading towards Hatangada Town.
If conditions permit, townspeople can still ride on horse-drawn carriages.
However, there are not many carriages on the road, and most of the people sitting on them are old people and young children.
Many people's faces were full of food. They didn't take away much from Takarai, and some even had some injuries on their bodies.
Because the target of the two-headed ogre was too big, Surdak and his party did not take this path. They continued walking north along the pebble beach of the river, and finally had to choose a remote mountain road.
According to the map, this road perfectly bypasses Grove Ridge and passes through about a dozen small towns along the way before reaching Mukuso City.
In the plane of Ganbu, only Mukusuo is defined as a city, and only some villages and towns can be established in other places on the plane.
The architectural scale of Khatangada Town, Takarai Town, and Bansk Town looks more like a small town, but it is called a town on the Ganbu plane.
The main reason is that Lord MacDonnell is an earl, and he can rule a city with the greatest authority.
However, the McDonnell family is the actual ruler of the Ganbu plane, so this is why the Ganbu plane has only one central city, and other places are villages and towns. The size and population of the towns vary greatly.
There are towns with hundreds of thousands of people, and there are also small towns with thousands of people.
The road Suldak chose to take passed through more than a dozen small towns.
The mountain road is a bit rugged, but the beauty is that the scenery is pretty good and there are not many pedestrians along the way.
Just among the mountains, a small town is hidden on the southern slopes.
There is a river next to the town, and almost all the streams in the nearby mountains converge into this river. On both sides of the river, you can also see small wheat fields and some waterwheels standing by the river.
Grove Ridge is located to the northwest of the town, and only its rough outline can be seen.
Almost all the houses in this town are built on a gentle slope. At the bottom of the valley is a road that can accommodate four carriages. There are no walls to prevent foreign invasion. Only two wooden buildings were built at the intersection of the town.
Looking at the sentry tower, there are still several militiamen standing on the sentry tower carrying longbows.
When I walked under the watchtower, I saw a stone tablet on the side of the road that said "Tanley Town". On the back, there was also the origin and some history of the town.
Surdak and his party walked into the town under the indifferent gaze of the guard tower.
The residents of the town were not very friendly to outsiders. No one could be seen smiling at them on the street, only eyes full of vigilance and vigilance.
There are almost no homeless people in this town, but the houses are a bit dilapidated, but some traces of repairs can be seen.
There was only one shopping street and one hotel in the town, so Suldak had almost no choice but to stay in this hotel.
This is a country hotel with local characteristics. It has a large yard and the rooms are independent wooden houses built on the hillside behind the hotel. It looks like there should be ten rooms in size.
The room rate is very cheap, and breakfast and dinner are also provided. If you don't want to eat, you can waive this part of the meal fee.
A group of local young people were squatting under a tree opposite the hotel and playing cards. They saw Suldak and his party walking into the hotel. At that time, everyone only focused on the two-headed ogre. This big man walked wherever he went. , cannot be ignored.
When Suldak and his party walked out of the hotel and were about to find a restaurant in the town to have something to eat, these young people saw the two women in the team.
Samira has a slender figure, light steps, and her legs are round and slender wrapped in red leather armor. Although she wears a hood, her face cannot be seen. The young people stared at Samira's slender waist and long legs, and almost drooled. It's about to flow out.
Thea has a graceful figure and a soft waist. The Jana sea tribe has a habit of strongly twisting her waist when walking. Even if she has legs, she cannot change it. The rhythm of the swing of her waist is easy to make people imagine.
A local young man put down the cards in his hand, wiped his hands on his chest twice, walked up bravely, stood in front of a group of people and asked: "Are you an adventure group from outside? Do you need a guide? I have been with you since I was a child. I grew up in the town and am very familiar with this place!”
Guzhao/span> "No need!"
Suldak said calmly.
As he spoke, he touched the hilt of the sword with one hand. The young man's expression changed slightly. He quickly took two steps back and spread his hands in front of his chest to express: "I have no ill intentions. If you don't need a guide, then forget it!"
After watching Surdak and his party leave, other young people dared to come up.
…
The restaurants in the town are not that good either. Apart from a cook with breasts as big as a noodle bag, there is only one extremely indifferent waiter. Moreover, there are not many food choices in the restaurant. The main meal is a kind of Seeing the local grilled fish and the catfish swimming in the muddy water in the wooden basin at the door, Suldak really couldn't work up his appetite.
Fortunately, Samira found a fruit stall and butcher shop in the town. The fruit stall was a roadside stall. There were some round green and red mangoes on the stall. Samira picked some mangoes and bought them. .
As for the butcher shop, it was a bit miserable. From a distance, it looked like a hut standing on the roadside. It was simply surrounded by some wooden boards. Fortunately, it had a roof.
But on the bloody meat table, there were large rats with their gray fur burned off on one side. The skin seemed to have been scraped with a knife, making it look dark. Each big rat had a round and long belly. There is a big knot on the tail, so you can hang it on the hook on the meat table.
In addition to these big rats, there are also two dried chickens and rabbits hanging in front of the meat table. Two cow legs are hung on hooks, one of which has been cut into half by a knife, and a bone-in cow The ribs were spread out on the table, and some flies were flying around the fresh meat.
The two-headed ogre stretched out his hand and picked up a gray mouse with a round belly, and said to Suldak with a smile: "This thing is really delicious. When roasted, the bones are soft, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes..."
Both Samira and Siya looked a little ugly and stood far away.
Surdak scratched his head and said to the ogre: "How about we roast a beef leg and eat it casually? Let's forget about this...?"
Gulitem is definitely an ogre who is willing to listen to other people's opinions. After hearing what Suldak said, his good brother Naohua quickly agreed: "Well, I think this beef leg must be good if grilled directly...
"
So under the surprised gaze of the butcher shop owner, Suldak bought the entire leg of beef for fifteen silver coins.
…
Returning to the hotel, after seeking permission from the hotel owner, Suldak lit a bonfire in the yard and grilled the entire leg of beef.
Magician Avide was lying on a wicker chair in the yard, looking at the two-headed ogre who was trying to turn over the roast beef leg, and sighed: "If other lords knew that all they had to do to impress you was eat some roast beef every day, I guess.
Someone is willing to give you a pasture..."
The ogre squatting next to the campfire was about to use a knife to cut a piece of meat from the uncooked beef leg to taste.
Hearing what the magician Aved said, Gulitm immediately asked strangely: "Why are you giving me the pasture?"
Good brother Nao Hua'er put his ear to Gulitem's ear and said, "What Avid means is that you can raise cattle as you like by then!"
Gulitem shook his head and immediately said: "I like to eat beef, but it does not mean that I like raising cattle. I have raised yellow sheep in Wall Village. You must not know that I worry about losing the yellow sheep every day, every morning and evening
How troublesome it is to count the sheep."
Naohua'er immediately swallowed his saliva and said, "Gulitmu, I think yellow sheep is more delicious than beef..."
"Of course!" Gulitem nodded and said with emotion: "Speak of yourself, you haven't eaten the sheep I raised. When we have a chance to return to Wall Village, I will treat you to sheep soup.
, the mutton soup made by Selena is the most delicious broth."
The two-headed ogre started chatting and started his own chat mode.
The two brothers sat in front of the campfire, cutting half-cooked beef shanks and chatting among themselves.
A simple roast beef leg will take at least a few hours from roasting to finishing, but for the ogre brothers, when they can finish it all depends on how sharp the meat cleaver is in their hands...
…
The smell of barbecue in the yard drifted outside, attracting a group of children from the town.
They didn't come close, they just stood on the wall outside the hotel and curiously looked into the yard.
When this group of children saw the ogre, the timid children immediately ran back. Only some bold children refused to leave...
The clothes worn by children are almost all sewn from the cheapest coarse linen. This coarse cloth is almost always used to sew bags in Bena City. When the clothes are made, you will feel a slight itchiness when you wear them. Sewing clothes
The fabric is more delicate.
Surdak walked out of the house, cut some pieces of meat from the beef leg, skewered them on the wicker branches, put the meat skewers back on the fire and cooked them, sprinkled some salt on them, got up and walked to the wall
Give one to each child.
The children didn't dare to take it at first, but the tallest boy tried to take one. The other children quickly snatched up all the meat skewers in Suldak's hand. They scratched the wall and started to wolf down the meat skewers.
.
"Who can tell me where this is?" Surdak asked the children.
"Tanley Town!" said the child closest to him: "Didn't you see the stone monument at the entrance of the town?"
"How long have you been here?" Surdak took the opportunity to ask him as he looked very smart.
The child blinked his eyes, as if he had thought carefully before saying, "I have been living here since I was born."
Surdak asked curiously: "Then what do your parents do? Hunters, farmers, tanners, lumberjacks...?"
I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell me, so I named the possible professions one by one.
The child replied: "My father is a farmer, and my family has a wheat field on the other side of the river." After that, he pointed to the wheat field beside the river outside the town.
"My family is the same..." Several other children said that their families also have a wheat field.
One child pointed to the child outside and said, "The only difference is that his family is different. His father is a butcher, and the beef leg you are eating is bought from his family."
Following the direction of the child's finger, Suldak saw a shy child holding a meat skewer, looking at Suldak in panic, his expression a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Then do you have an army here?" Surdak asked.
The child bit off a large piece of meat, ate it with gusto, and replied cheerfully: "Yes, the lord's army will come twice a year to collect taxes."
"Are there any troops in the nearby mountains?"
The child was slightly startled. The meat skewers in his hand shook imperceptibly. He looked away and said, "I don't know, do you know?"
"have no idea."
"I haven't heard of it..."
The other children said immediately, but their voices were much lower. We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.
