In the early morning, Barrett came to a place in the "Bay of Pigs" called "Fortune, Fortune!" ’ The tavern, where he and Old Will agreed to meet. Last night, the group of "Dirty Novels" didn't live in the messy adventurer's camp in the Bay of Pigs, but went to the Mist Castle next to the Bay of Pigs.

On the north and south sides of the Mist Castle are the towering Kavis Mountains, which enclose the entire Mist Forest in a semi-arc shape.

The earliest Cavis Mountains was a majestic mountain range that towered into the clouds and stretched for thousands of miles. Then, for some reason, a huge gap broke out from top to bottom in the middle part of the mountain range. Taking the gap as the base point, the broken mountain range. They were named the South and North Cavis Mountains, respectively.

Because of the existence of the gap, whenever the intermittent tide of beasts in the misty forest erupts, there will be countless and strange monsters and beasts pouring out from the gap, invading the hinterland of the Griffin Kingdom and causing devastating disasters to the kingdom. .

In order to solve the invasion of the beast tide once and for all, with the help of the mages, the Griffin Kingdom built a huge fog castle in the gap of the mountains, and stationed a regular knights of about 1,000 people in the fortress - Golden Clover The Order of Knights is used to prevent the invasion of the hinterland of the kingdom by monsters and beasts in the foggy forest on the west side.

Now, the Misty Forest, which was the source of disaster, has become one of the most important sources of income for the kingdom.

'Get rich, get rich! ’ The tavern is the most “luxurious” building in the Bay of Pigs. It is a three-story wood and stone mix-and-match house, with a semi-circular dome on the top floor. The owner of the tavern is undoubtedly a smart person, and when he chose the name, he fully considered the low cultural literacy of most adventurers and their willingness to seek good omen.

Barrett ordered a stew of pigtail soup, a piece of aged cheese with a chunk of ham, two hard-boiled eggs, a salted fish, and a glass of rye beer. Although rye has a bitter taste that cannot be eliminated, this bitterness is just right for brewing beer.

After the salted fish was served, it was accompanied by a small bowl of vinegar made from figs. There were also a few marinated olives floating up and down in the pig tail soup. Barrett eats his last meal at camp before every adventure...

Breakfast time was quite quiet, and no other adventurers entered the tavern. When the barbarian adventurer drank the last bit of pigtail soup and ate the cabbage that was attached to the bottom of the pot, the door of the tavern was pushed open again—Old Will led three non-humans in.

"A good appetite is a necessary quality for a good adventurer." Old Will said to Barrett with a smile. "Food will not only provide you with the energy you need for your adventures outside! It will also give you a sense of pleasure. I remember the legendary mage, the 'Supermagic Dancer', in whom His Excellency the mage Adrian Lucius had There is a passage in his biography, 'The pleasure of eating is the most primitive emotion a creature has acquired'."

"Oh? I remember that the legendary mage Quinton disagreed with this statement." The half-elf beside the wandering mage expressed doubts about this: "The mage Quinton said, 'The urge to reproduce is the most primitive emotion of a creature."

The half-elf wears dark green leather armor, and on each side of the body hangs a peculiarly shaped machete. Barrett remembered that this style of machete was usually only used by the dark elves in the depths. He glanced at the half-elf's complexion again. It was neither black nor dark gray, but a kind of fairness unique to forest elves. With the golden hair and bright green eyes, he looked very handsome.

Is the kind of person that the noble ladies in the boudoir like the most. Barrett thought maliciously again, wondering if it was out of jealousy.

"But the urge to reproduce can't be counted as a kind of emotion." The 200-year-old wandering mage retorted: "It's just an instinct of the creature. And the instinct should not be counted as an emotion, it's a part of the creature's operation. A law, similar to the formula used in alchemy."

What is this all about? Barrett was speechless about the argument between Old Will and the half-elf. This 'pointless' argument is certainly off-putting.

Fortunately, I have finished eating, he thought to himself.

The ogre stood beside Barrett, bending over to examine the food scraps on the table. As the ogre's massive body approached Barret with a shadow, it gave the barbarian the feeling that the Cavis Mountains were about to collapse.

"Roasted quail is even better! And roasted clams!" said the ogre to Barrett. "Especially roasted clams, with their shells on! And with lemon!" He spoke fluently in Common. It even has a unique tone of the Holy Arathor Kingdom in the east of the continent, and I don't know who taught it.

Eat with shell? No, I don't have such a good mouth, "but I prefer salted fish," Barrett replied.

The ogre straightened up and pouted, expressing disdain for the barbarian's food preferences.

There should also be a dwarf in the "Dirty Novel" team. Where is that dwarf? Barrett was looking. He remembered that the dwarf liked to hide in the shadows, and Barrett, out of his habit of taking risks, didn't like creatures who always hid in the shadows. And that dwarf always had a bitter face, it was hard to make people feel good.

Barrett found the dwarf in the shadows behind the tavern door, which reassured him a lot. If he couldn't find it, he would involuntarily have a feeling of being on his back.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked old Will. "Although there is not much delicious food in the Bay of Pigs, the pig tail soup in this tavern tastes good." At least they use the soup in their soup. It's real pig tails, not some other weird stuff.

In the Bay of Pigs, you must not carefully observe your food, because it does not specify what it is. Lizards, shucked snails, pig uterus, spider belly, moth larvae, vomit-like cheese, and more.

If you eat it with your eyes closed, the taste is actually pretty good, but you must manage your curiosity and don't delve into it.

But don't worry too much about it, at least you won't find your own kind in food, unless you're a goblin.

The Bay of Pigs is a dirty and messy place, but it is not a vile place where the moral bottom line is too corrupt. Because the mages don't allow places like that to exist.

On this continent, everything must have rules. Although most of the people are poor, their lives are generally stable, because the mages use their powerful magical power to suppress everything, whether it is aliens or humans themselves.

"No." Old Will refused: "We've eaten in the Mist Castle, stewed beef, milk oatmeal, herring cooked with mint and dill, and roasted onions soaked in gravy, oh, finally That dish is my favorite, you should really try it."

Roasted pearl onions in gravy? That's my favorite too. However, Mist Castle does not allow adventurers to enter, you can make an exception, because you are a mage. Barrett murmured inwardly.

"And Moglock..." The wandering mage Old Will pointed to the ogre and said, "It ate a whole roasted suckling pig with honey by itself."

"Suckling pigs are better than pig tails, and clams are better than salted fish!" The ogre echoed.

"Let's put the question of eating aside for now. Although it's a good topic, we still have more important things to discuss." Old Will sat opposite Barret, and the half-elf sat next to the wandering mage.

Old Will said to the ogre, "My dear Moglock, stand up first. The chairs here can't bear your weight."

"A chair is no better than a tree stump," replied the ogre.

The wandering mage looked at Barrett again: "We need a guide, someone familiar with the misty forest, you already know that. But you didn't ask us what we were going to do in the misty forest. It can be seen that in your heart There should be doubts, but you chose to keep them. Silence is a good quality, I have to say. But we already have good guys on that."

Old Will glanced at the dwarf in the shadows, and said in a witty tone: "Mapra is undoubtedly the best among them, so you don't need to argue with him in this regard. We need your advice, in various aspects. Advice to help us get things done. Communication is important, isn’t it, we need it.”

Barrett really didn't ask too much, in fact he didn't ask anything. As a newcomer who joined the team temporarily, he didn't want to ask questions without his head. If there was anything to know, he thought old Will would tell him that he was a wise man with a good grasp of 'the heart'. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"It seems that you have agreed with my point of view, which has laid a good foundation for our cooperation." Old Will said to himself habitually: "First of all, let's understand the specific tasks this time. ."

After the wandering mage finished speaking, he spread out his palm, and a roll of delicate parchment suddenly appeared in his hand.

Looking at the exquisite rings worn by the wandering mage on his index and ring fingers, Barrett couldn't help but feel a little envious. It was a 'space ring', similar to Barrett's own cowhide bag, but it was more convenient to use and carry, and it had more space inside.

Most of this equipment can only be used by mages. Because their spiritual power and soul strength are high enough, and they also have powerful magic power as a triggering medium, it is very easy to use space and magic equipment.

To allow ordinary people to use magic equipment without risk, the price of such equipment may be dozens of times higher.

Barrett stretched out his hand to take the smooth parchment scroll, untied the blue **** it, flattened the scroll, and looked at the contents of the task recorded above.

But when the barbarian adventurer just saw the first word of the scroll, something strange happened again:

Barrett felt a needle-like pain in his head, the pain disappeared in an instant, and then everything in front of him suddenly blurred, like a highly myopic person taking off his glasses to observe the world.

Immediately afterwards, those strangely structured square texts jumped out automatically, which surprised Barrett inexplicably.

Compared to the blurry surroundings, the words were exceptionally clear. The first four words are extraordinarily large, and their meanings are imprinted in Barrett's mind—
