Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

() "Mr. Lin Shu, look, there is a temporary camp there."

Lin Shu was surprised to see that there was actually a temporary camp here, and the scale was not small. A defensive wall was built around it with earth magic. There were some simple buildings and a lot of tents inside. From the looks of the building, it should be a camp set up by some merchants.

I have to say that these businessmen are really amazing. When a mountain collapsed, they thought of setting up a temporary camp here, selling various adventure supplies, and at the same time recycling the things that the adventurers found. Needless to say, they just set up here A tent also needs to be paid, and the desire to make money makes people full of vitality and imagination.

There are two guards at the gate of the camp, but their mission is obviously not to stop people coming in and out, but to guard against monsters and prevent them from rushing into the camp to cause trouble. This is a place where monsters are rampant.

The guards at the gate of the camp took a curious look at this strange adventure team. There was a very young and elegant man, a beautiful woman wearing glasses, and a tattered giant man, but they only saw two more See, there is no simple fellow among the adventurers who come here. The so-called more things are worse than less things. If you want to live a long life, you must learn to meddle in your own business.

"Is there a place to live here?"

"No, but there are places that sell tents."

"Is there a place that sells clothes?"

"Yes! No, that's the cabin with the flag hanging on it."

"Very well, let's go shopping for a piece of clothing first, and then we will go shopping for a tent."

"There's food. There's food."

Lin Shu turned his head: "Of course. Ali. You have to figure it out, we can't live without eating."

"Hehe, hehe"

"Huh? Isn't this Ali? You're still alive!"

"Duke! Are you all okay?"

"Uh, of course it's okay. You didn't come back that day. We have been looking for it for a long time? I thought you went somewhere, so you found a new customer?"

"Uh, no. No, I met a monster, I"

Both Lin Shu and Nasha kept silent, watching curiously the conversation between the magician named Duke and Ali. Originally, the two of them just wanted to watch the fun, but soon something seemed to happen wonderfully. Variety.

"Huh? The two of you don't look like adventurers. Which family do you belong to?"

"Eh? Does this have anything to do with you?"

"Of course, Ali is our team member. Didn't you bully Ali because he was honest?"

"No! No! Duke, they saw that I was injured and treated me. Later, they saw that I had nowhere to go alone, so they hired me to bring them to this camp and gave me a hundred gold coins!"

"What? You protected them for a few days and only gave one hundred gold coins. Isn't that bullying! Everyone, please comment too. These two don't look like poor people, and they don't behave like this. What? Protect them and walk in this dangerous forest for a few days, and only give one hundred gold coins, how can you send beggars?"

Nasha turned her face to see Lin Shu's shriveled expression, and couldn't help being a little funny, but her teasing look made Duke misunderstand, thinking that she and Lin Shu were really guilty.

Duke's voice was not low, and he soon attracted some adventurers. Adventurers are naturally a group of guys who like to watch the excitement, and most of them are people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Hearing what Duke said, they immediately burst into laughter. Lin Shu was fine, but Ali was already blushing.

"No, no, no! Really no, yes, it's my price, no, it's not them."

"Duke, what's going on?"

A few people pushed away the idle people who were watching and appeared in the circle, Lin Shu turned his head and glanced at these people, but it was just a glance, Lin Shu was really not interested in them.

"Head, Ali is back."

"Ali?! Are you okay?"

"No, it's fine."

"Isn't it a good thing to be back? We're still looking for you everywhere. It's good to be back, it's good to be back. So what's the trouble now?"

"Boss, that's what happened. These two young men hired Ali to protect them and walked for a few days. In this perilous forest, they only gave one hundred gold coins. Isn't this bullying, even though Ali is sincere? , but you can't be bullied for nothing like this."

"What you said is true. According to the rules, protecting you in this kind of place for a few days will cost you thousands of gold coins. Don't you think so?"

"That is, the young lady and the young master of the rich family don't know the market, but they still think that the lives of us are only worth a hundred gold coins?"

"That's right, you can't do this even if you look down on people!"

"Which family, isn't this bullying?"

"No, no, really not, they are good people, they didn't bully me, really not!"

"Okay, Ali, we all know that you are stupid, you are being bullied and you still speak up for others, don't worry! We are your companions and will definitely help you!"

"I, I, you"

"Okay, okay, don't say it, just listen to us!"

"No! You are the bad guys. You are no longer my companions. They are good guys. I don't allow you to say that about them!"

Ali straddled between Duke and Lin Shu, and the short stick in his hand was raised horizontally, as if preparing for a fight.

"Okay! Ali, you are stupid, you are going to turn against us, have you forgotten who raised you?"

"I'm stupid, but I know, I've done so many things for you, and I've never received a single gold coin. I can eat, but I can also work. Can I eat up all my salary?"

"Yeah? Settle the score? Settle the score for us? You have grown up! You white-eyed wolf, you are crawling around!"

"No, I, I, that day, you have abandoned me, I am no longer your companion, the transaction between me and Mr. Lin Shu has nothing to do with you!"

Lin Shu lightly pressed on Ali's shoulder, and gently pushed him aside. Ali was surprised to find that the strength he was so proud of seemed to have completely disappeared under Lin Shu's palm. Ali was surprised It's so terrible that he even forgot that he was mustering up the courage to protect Lin Shu.

"Okay, everyone, have you settled the matter? Ali has made it very clear that this matter is a transaction between me and Ali, and has nothing to do with others. Even if I cheated Ali, it is between me and Ali. It's not the turn of unrelated people to fight against injustices."

"you"

"This"

"Okay, everyone, don't block my way anymore, we still have something to do."

"Humph!"

Lin Shu stepped forward, and when the people in front of him were all transparent, those people were caught by Lin Shu's aura and moved out of the way one after another. Ali was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him.

Nasha's clothes were worn in pairs, and now they are just tied with thread. However, this is not a clothing store. Nasha just randomly picked out a field combat suit of the right size, and borrowed the dressing room to change into it. clothing.

By the way, Lin Shu also bought a set of battle suits for Ali. Ali was very happy, but Lin Shu always felt that it was against the law to see Ali happily carrying the deformed large shield on his back. It is impossible to let him throw it away due to the degree of love.

In the end, I went to buy two more tents and a new backpack.

Lin Shu sat in the tent and packed the things in his backpack. Ali looked at the things in Lin Shu's bag curiously, some plant seeds, some weird liquids in sealed bottles, and a piece that looked like a Huge drop-shaped metal, a few stones that look like Kunshan jade.

This Lin Shu is really strange. He said that he is a student, and he came here for an investigation.Ali imagined enviously, while subconsciously wiping the deformed large shield.

Finally, Ali couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Lin Shu, what is that?"

"Oh, this, this is a piece of alchemy metal whose composition is unknown, I'm going to take it back and study it."

"Oh, what about this one?"

"This is a kind of Kunshan jade."

"I know Kunshan Jade. Grocery stores recycle it, but it's not expensive. Do I need to carry it all the way back?"

"Hehe, this one is different, so I have to take it back for research."

"Have you been studying these all the time?"

"That's right, isn't it interesting to explore the unknown? For example, this piece of metal, what is it made of? What kind of alchemy technique was used? Aren't you curious about why it formed a unique property? No Do you think these are all interesting things?"

Ali blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I am very curious, but I am stupid, so there is no way to know this, I can only do some simple things."

Lin Shu put down the strange-shaped metal block in his hand, looked up at Ali and said, "My teacher once told me that there are no stupid people in this world, only lazy people. Even people with poor brains, as long as they have curiosity, You can also make a difference. For example, what do you think you should do? Or what do you like to do?"

"Me? Of course I like to be a qualified shield warrior."

"Very good, since that's the case, have you practiced hard every day? Have you ever thought about what you didn't do well yesterday? Have you thought about how to do better?"

"This"

"To put it bluntly, it is whether you have worked hard and persevered in doing what you like, or are you always half-hearted and half-hearted, using your stupidity as an excuse for being lazy!"

Ali opened his mouth wide, looked at Lin Shu with wide eyes, and then thought hard, finally, he nodded vigorously: "Mr. Lin Shu, I understand! I understand!"

Lin Shu smiled, lowered his head and continued to pack his things, while casually saying: "If you understand, do your best."

In the nearby tent, Nasha pursed her lips and smiled, and cleaned the two clothes that had been pierced front and back with magic, then folded them carefully, and packed them solemnly into the backpack. (to be continued...)
