Because of the appearance of this great shaman, the boss of Lucky Shoes can be said to know all the questions raised by Lawrence. What is completely inconsistent with his appearance is that this boss who looks very wild is very gossipy in nature.
, after realizing that even the great shaman didn’t stop him, he rambled on a lot.
Most of these remarks were simple family stories, but through careful analysis of these remarks, Lawrence and Nora obtained a lot of information. According to what the boss said, the man called the old lame
He is a human cowboy who got this nickname because he broke his leg when he was very young.
Fortunately, the cowboy usually works on a horse, and the old lame man's leg is a little lame, but it does not hinder his walking. Therefore, although the cowboy's life in the town is not very good, it is still with him.
Compared with ordinary people, he is not that bad. If there is anything bad, it is only because he always thinks about getting rich overnight, so more than 20 years ago, his wife could not stand his doing this all day long.
What Meng did was just follow a businessman and run away.
But according to the hotel owner, this incident did not make the old lame feel depressed. Even for him, no one cared about him after his wife left, which made his life more carefree. If there is anything unsatisfactory,
Maybe it's because when he was young, he boasted about getting rich overnight but never realized it.
Especially in the past few years, as he has gotten older, the possibility of getting rich has become less and less. Therefore, he always complains every time he goes to the bar on the first floor of the Lucky Horse Hotel to drink.
All kinds of bad luck. I said I want to go out and look for opportunities of my own elsewhere.
What is different from ordinary people is that the old lame man does not just talk about this. Every time he works for a period of time and saves some money, he will leave the town and go elsewhere to try his luck in finding his dream.
opportunity to make a fortune, and when he has spent almost all his money, he will drag his tired body back in despair.
"We always thought this was just his bragging. After all, cowboys always brag after drinking a few glasses of beer in order to show their presence among the group of drinking buddies." The owner of the hotel said. "But this
It seems that he was not simply bragging this time, because when he came back, his body suddenly became much younger and stronger, and his legs were also healed."
"Then do you know where he went before?" When talking about this, Lawrence asked an important question. "After all, he has undergone such a big change, I think you acquaintances should be curious about him.
What happened to him during that time?"
"Of course we asked, but it's different from the previous situation where he boasted directly after entering the door and the whole hall knew about it. This time his whole person has changed a lot, and no matter how we ask, he is very tight-lipped." The boss frowned and said.
"The only thing we asked was that he seemed to be doing something with some big shot."
"Then where is he now?" Nora asked from the side, then turned to look at Lawrence and said: "Although the situation is obviously something wrong now, I think we can find this person first and ask what happened to him.
What? I think among the many people who came here this time, there will always be someone who can ask him for the news we want."
"He has left the town now." The owner of the hotel said, "Just the day before yesterday, he left here with three camels and six large bags on his back. What is different from the past is that this time he came
I only stayed in town for three or four days to buy a batch of things and then left, which felt a bit rushed."
"Ah, this is really too bad." After hearing what the boss said, Nora made an exaggerated gesture of covering her forehead and sighing, then lowered her head and looked at the boss and said, "By the way, you
He said he purchased a lot of things. Do you know anything about these things?"
Seeing the hope in the eyes of the little doll, the hotel owner suddenly felt a sense of mission, so he frowned and tried to remember. Soon, he thought of something very valuable to Lawrence and the others.
Information. "I think I heard from the blacksmith that he bought-"
Although the old lame cowboy wanted to hide his whereabouts as much as possible, as a careless person in the past, his physical improvement could not change his own habits. Therefore, although he knew how to keep silent, he also tried to convey what he needed.
He bought things from multiple places, but he didn't expect that the town was so big, and even if he bought things scattered, he wouldn't be able to successfully hide the traces he left as he imagined.
As the information distribution center of the town, the boss was naturally able to obtain a lot of information from the chats of those who came to drink in the town. And when these scattered information were revealed, Lawrence and Nora
I quickly compiled a shopping list that was incomplete but relatively detailed.
"Tent cloth, food, water purification powder, insect repellent powder, lamp oil, rope, nails -" Looking at this extremely trivial list, Lawrence fell into thinking. According to the records on this list,
The old lame must have purchased a large number of things that could be used for the expedition in the town. There were a wide range of items, but the quantity of each item was not large.
"I feel like this should be for replenishing supplies." After reading the shopping list, Lawrence said to Nora through the soul connection, "Because if an expedition team is about to set off, the number of things here is obviously not right, and have you noticed?
, everything here is all consumables.”
"That is to say, there was a team before we set off. A team that is highly likely to be related to this divine pollution incident has probably entered the Death Gobi area." Nora focused on her sun hat and sunscreen.
.These items are necessary when entering the Gobi zone. Without these items, severe sunburn will occur on the skin very quickly.
After confirming this important information, Lawrence and the others briefly asked the boss a few questions and then ended the conversation with the boss. From this last conversation, they learned that although the old lame liked drinking before,
Often they drink either beer or spirits brewed and distilled from a local specialty plant tuber.
"He never drinks the liqueur I specially brewed from dates, nor does he drink mead." The boss seemed a little angry when he said this, because the other party's behavior was obviously a dissatisfaction with his craftsmanship. "
He said that those sweet wines were for sissies, and that I made this wine because I was not a pure man at heart. You know, everyone likes to have a glass of this kind of wine——"
After the boss left, Lawrence and Nora exchanged a few words and said goodbye to the big shaman. The big shaman also promised them that if they find anything wrong in the town recently, he will find a way to inform the various church groups on standby on the east side of the mountain range.
of large troops.
In addition, the great shaman also lent Lawrence a thigh-sized totem pole. It is equipped with permanent environmental adaptation magic. If a team like Lawrence goes into the desert to investigate, if there is such a magic prop, it will
much easier
According to the Great Shaman, although she was unable to embark on this journey with them because of her age and the need to stay in Giant Wood Town, she was very willing to provide the team with the help she could. For example, lending
This is a very useful magic prop of theirs in the next door. Another example is to pay for supplies for Lawrence and his team in the town.
With the help of this great shaman, it was much easier for Lawrence and the others to supply supplies. At noon that day, the team successfully completed all the supplies, crossed the town, left the west gate of the town, and continued on their way to the target.
