Chapter 146 Chatting on the Roadside and Jill's Discovery

"Snapped."

A new log is added to the fire, causing the flames to double.

The Silver Sword team and Mann were sitting by the fire eating simple food, Chu Chu still didn't eat it, after all, she couldn't taste the food, and it would be troublesome to digest the excess after eating.

She sat on a dry tree trunk by the roadside, listening to John the Dwarf bragging about their previous adventures while drinking, probably every adventurer likes to do such a thing.On a road that's dull most of the time, it wouldn't hurt to have a few more interesting stories.

"But speaking of it, boy Mann, why do you always see businessmen going to Jeffries recently?"

John wiped the wine from his beard and said drunkenly.

After everyone got acquainted with each other, they began to call each other casually. John the Dwarf was nearly 50 years old, and it was not an exaggeration to call Mann a boy.

Speaking of Jeffries, before Mann, they saw several groups of merchants in Loftoroff hiring adventurers to go to Jeffries. You must know that in the past, small merchants other than large caravans They hardly ever go to that city.

Because the prices in that city are too high, if you stay there for a few days, you can lose all the money you earn.

"Yeah." Mann pouted, and took a bite of the dry food in his hand: "There is a person in Jeffries who is buying magic spar in unlimited quantities, that's all I can say, you know, the rules of the Merchant Association. "

The rule of the Merchant Association is never to talk too much about traders.

"Okay." Dwarf John hiccupped and said, half drunk, "It's not good to have those stinky rules of the association at a young age."

"Don't listen to him." Jill, the lizard man in the corner, said abruptly, "Rules are very important."

For thieves like them who act carefully, rules are a guarantee.

It and Dwarf John are two kinds of people, so their relationship is generally not very harmonious, but from a certain point of view, there is a delicate balance.

"In short." Dwarf John grinned and patted himself on the chest.

"I hope that some exciting things will happen along the way, and then I will have a wonderful adventure. This is what adventurers should do."

"Well, I think it's better to be more stable." Lily, who was sitting on the other side, held her magic book and expressed her opinion timidly.

"What are you afraid of? Whether it's a dragon or a demon, I, Uncle John, can easily deal with it. I'll show you my newly researched tactics."

As he said that, Dwarf John stood up staggeringly, punched twice out of thin air, and then one of them lost his footing and fell to the ground sullenly.

"Puff." Mage Lily covered her mouth and smiled.

The lizard man Jill also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Mann and bowed his head and said.

"If there is a real situation, I will be responsible for solving it."

It's not as unreliable as the drunk man lying next to it.

"Well, I'm strong too, little brother." Mage Lily also smiled slightly, and patted Mann's head tenderly.

This feeling of being treated as a child made Mann a little depressed, but he couldn't say anything, who made him the youngest here.

"But speaking of it." Mann looked at the dwarf John who fell on the ground, and said in a daze, "I also want to learn a little adventurer's skills."

He remembered what happened in Hiskama before, if he was able to fight at that time, he should be able to help.

And as a boy, he had some dreams of sword and magic.

Hearing what Mann said, Lily raised the magic book in her hand.

"If it's magic, I can teach you some."

"If it's swordsmanship, our captain Lorna and I also have some experience." The lizard man Jill pointed at the short knife hanging on his waist.

It is no secret that these skills are on the mainland. Everyone can learn, but the achievements will vary, so they have nothing to be stingy about.

But speaking of Lorna, where did Lorna go?
Jill looked around, only to realize that Lorna had sat next to Chu at some point.

······
"At the beginning, you really don't need to eat something, even if you are practicing, you should take a rest sometimes."

Lorna's voice came from beside her ear.

"No need." Chu moved her body, and Lorna sat a little closer, almost close to her body, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Since that day, Lorna has often come to chat with her, which made her regret whether she said something she shouldn't have said.

Seeing Chu didn't walk away, Lorna was overjoyed, and continued to say with reddened cheeks, "Well, that's fine. By the way, where are you from? My hometown is Helmut, a small coastal town in the east. The people in the town are nice, and you can go fishing by boat when you have nothing to do.”

She talked about her hometown with light in her eyes, probably recalling those good times.

But at the beginning, he could only say helplessly.

"My hometown, there is nothing."

She didn't lie, because there was no need to hide it, anyway, she didn't tell the exact location.

Lorna seemed to realize that she had asked the wrong question, touched her light blonde hair, and asked with a smile.

"As for the family, my father is a swordsmanship instructor, and I learned my swordsmanship from him. I still remember that when I was young, he always trained me very strictly, and every day's practice was very hard. But every day he would recite As I went home, I remembered that we would walk across a stone bridge by the sea, and the sea breeze on the bridge was always strong..."

Chu Chu silently listened to Lorna telling her story, sometimes showing a faint smile.

But Lorna also gradually discovered that Chu was really different from everyone she knew before.

She felt a kind of silence in Chu's body, and also felt a kind of alienation. This alienation is not coldly rejecting people thousands of miles away, but gently keeping a distance from everyone.

This feeling made her want to understand the reason, but she was powerless.

Lizardman Jill who was sitting not far away was relieved when he saw that Lorna did not do anything out of line with Chu, but just when he wanted to look away, he suddenly saw Chu's chest with a a badge of .

A silver and white wolf head badge.

Jill's sight stopped because of this badge. It knew this badge. This badge came from a family respected by everyone on the mainland, a family standing in the far west.
