Chapter 31: The Other Side of Dess
We are at the Okinmi stronghold and the weather is ready. You can do whatever you want. Just take a vacation for yourself."
Head and Des sat in the hotel lobby eating breakfast and casually told her about their arrangements today.
"Today is" Well, the old day of the New Calendar month, there are still more than ten days left." While thinking about some important information about the ruins and dates of the Golden Tomb, Head was eating the free breakfast provided by the hotel.
"Tsk, this meat chop is extremely unpalatable, far less delicious than Dess you made in the wild." He complained casually, and Heid swallowed the unsavory breakfast in two or three bites, got up and prepared to leave.
"Well, I'll just be happy with the supply procurement. I'll go to the trading yard later to see if there is any information worth buying. Dess will take a break today. Do whatever you want to do?" Before leaving, Head specifically reminded the Silver Girl Apprentice.
Des nodded slightly.
"I don't know what she will do today?" Head was very curious, so he released several extremely small magic mercury bubbles to follow Des, ready to peep.
However, until he finished the chores of supply procurement and other chores, the picture from the magic mercury bubble that peeped out showed that the Silver female apprentice was still staying in the room in the accommodation area to carefully organize the equipment, maintain the double-edged cutting weapons made of Mithril alloy, and caring for her sets of ghost python leather armor, which was very delicate and slow. After a while, Haider felt quite bored. It seemed that she was preparing to keep fighting like this, so she temporarily stopped peeping;
Over the past few months, the Okmi stronghold was expanded to a considerable scale by the Snecks family. Although the living facilities could not reach a very satisfactory level due to environmental conditions, for adventurers of various self- or noble families, the circulation of various materials and intelligence was very thoughtful, although these things were very expensive.
"Unfortunately, I ran into them again." Just now, Head saw the three-person small team that he couldn't forget even if he wanted to. He suspected that it was a little girl who was replaced by the Empress of the Empire and two high-level strong men guards. The three of them were in the regional intelligence area, and they should be preparing to purchase map-type intelligence.
Hede Lixuan turned around and came to the Monster Ba Di District on the other side, pretending to be selling information about watching various monster information.
"It's almost half a year, and they don't seem to have found a way to successfully enter the central area of the Golden Tomb, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed here.
Head recalled the news a few months ago that the sick Empress had returned to the capital under the escort of the Imperial Guards, but he had never appeared in public until he left.
"What is it worth going out for so much risk for a long time, even Her Majesty the Queen himself?" Haider thought about it and found it strange that the treasures in the tomb of gold, such as countless crystal nuclei in the treasury, a large amount of gold, and rare equipment are indeed very attractive to ordinary people and even many nobles, but it is not enough for the lord of a country to come to investigate in person regardless of his own danger.
"Is it because of the great alchemy of the former Titan Empire? But that thing is actually a very flawed ancient secret technique, with great side effects, far less useful than the inheritance of the Olympus royal family." Oh, maybe the current royal family doesn't know this at all."
After understanding this, Haid shook his head slightly. Although he had thought of taking advantage of the special period of January 1st of the New Year in more than ten days later, he was really not interested in the so-called great alchemy. It would be better if there was no conflict between them. It would be better not to encounter it in the future to avoid trouble.
Head, who was relieved, took a look at the information for sale in this monster intelligence area. Countless wooden signs hanging on the wall marked various types of monsters, which were very useful for some hunters teams who specialize in hunting certain types of crystal nuclei.
Just a casual look, but let Haider accidentally gain a piece of information that was very useful to him.
"How much does this piece of information cost?"
"Three fifth-level crystal cores." The young snake woman in charge of selling information replied skillfully?
"Plus with these two pieces of information, the area where mutant ogres and tin apes appear."
"There are eleven fifth-level crystal cores in total, I wish you a great achievement." The young alienated snake girl completed this simple transaction with a smile.
After getting three pieces of information deliberately made into small scrolls, Head immediately turned to the seat in the corner and opened the scroll marked with the information related to high-level Slime.
It has to be said that although these information are often high quotations for several fifth-level crystal nuclei, there are detailed regional maps, the level and approximate group number of such monsters, gathering locations, movement routes, and even other types of monsters appearing in nearby areas, dangerous areas, agencies, etc., with detailed standards, which can be regarded as very detailed information.
"The Sneckman family's management methods are really amazing." Head was amazed. The members of the Sneckman family who managed the Oakmi stronghold did not put in much manpower and material resources to investigate these things. They could reach this level by simply purchasing information from various adventurers, sorting it out and confirming it. It was quite amazing.
"Des" cool square, the high-level ogres and tin apes needed in the middle and late stages were revenge. "Only" Haid glanced at the other two pieces of information, and compared the map of the Golden Tomb ruins in his mind, and roughly understood what was worth noting.
I walked out the door and was about to return to the hotel where I stayed. When I turned around, I saw the Yin female apprentice walking in another direction alone.
"It should be a free market over there, right? What did she do there?" Haid's heart moved, and released several miniature magic mercury bubbles and followed them, while he accelerated his pace and rushed back to the hotel accommodation room.
Not long after, I saw Des in the investigation of the Magic Mercury Bubble that Des did go to the free market. There will be some hunters or adventurers doing small businesses in this place, such as exchanging crystal cores, selling some useful materials such as the angle scales of the monster bones, etc. There is no special requirement for selling things here. You just need to pay some taxes to the snake guards who manage it to set up a stall.
"What do she want to buy? Head leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the distorted images of the spherical magic mercury bubble. After advancing to level seven, his skill can also transmit some sounds, but the free market is noisy and it is really difficult to tell what he wants to hear.
Not long after, full of doubt, Head finally saw Des parked in front of a stall, and seemed to be interested in buying some "polyhorn beef?" And looking at the Silver Girl's movements and mouth shape, he should be bargaining with the stall owner who sold Warcraft meat.
This surprised Haid. To be honest, he always thought that Des was a girl who didn't speak very much. At least during the time he spent with her, he rarely heard her talk for more than ten words a day. Now she is bargaining with a meat vendor? And it seems that the bargaining exchange between the two is still very intense.
Head tried to get the magic mercury bubble that tracked Dess slightly closer to the edge of the market. Although the sound returned was still very messy and vague, can we still vaguely hear the conversation between Dess and the meat dealer?
The two of them used their own reasons to lower or raise the price. Although Dess had a serious expression, he told the stall owner that the adventurers who came here to rest were too lazy to buy Warcraft meat to cook, and it was difficult for you to sell it; the stall owner distinguished what the delicious meat was cut from the sixth-level polygonal beef an hour ago; the two of them repeatedly talked and slowly tested each other's bottom line at an extremely small price.
After listening for a while, Head was extremely surprised. He felt that Des said much more in less than ten minutes than a month of conversation with him. His eloquent eloquence of bargaining with the other party really made it hard for him to imagine that he was his always taciturn female apprentice.
Not long after, Des successfully convinced the other party and bought a few pieces of the most essence of the back of the polygon-shaped beef at a very suitable price. After that, she bought some wild vegetables and started returning to the hotel accommodation area, and came to the place that should have been prepared in advance, and started cooking with her own cooking utensils and seasonings.
"She still can't get idle after she's off for a day;" Head sighed slightly, thinking of breakfast in the morning and sighed that the food in the hotel was unpalatable. This is probably why the Silver Girl Apprentice prepared the food for the two of them according to her previous habits? "I originally wanted her to have a good rest for a day, even if she was not interested in other things, she would be fine if she covered her head and slept for a day.
At this time, it was even more inappropriate to stop Des. After all, Silver Girl Apprentice was also thinking about her own sake. Haider had to plan the next ten days of cultivation and exploration route while continuing to watch the scene of the magic mercury bubble being released.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Haid's face gradually became a little heavy, and his body, which was originally leaning against the head of the bed, gradually sat up straight.
In the picture shown by the spherical magic mercury bubbles, Dess has rolled the cut beef slices with various wild vegetables and baked them into the vegetable and meat rolls that Haider has always liked very much. Then he began to cook the most commonly eaten meat steaks and noodles by humans in Xiguda6. However, the silver girl carefully cuts the fine slits horizontally and vertically on it with a knife, puts sauce, and then uses the heated butter to start frying;
Dess spent five minutes making a small piece of meat cutlet that Haid had put into his mouth casually. This lunch that was enough for two people to eat would probably take more than an hour.
After cooking various staple foods, even in the cool autumn, dense beads of sweat appeared on the silver girl's forehead. She took the towel on the side and wiped the sweat, poured a small amount of water from the water bag and washed her hands. Des took out the metal cups that they often used for cleaning, and then took out a few white crusts with pink spots from the other skin, carefully squeezed out the juice inside with both hands to make a cup of fresh juice, and the other quilt was ordinary white water.
(Well, this chapter is more literary and the next chapter. Well, it can also be said to be emotional. Book friends who don’t like to read details can skip it.) (To be continued)
