Age of Mysticism

  Qing Kong didn't expect that after he had improved the strength of the sheriff several times, the black cat would become a super sycophant. Saying such things in public is really embarrassing.

   Is there anyone who makes people swear allegiance when they meet for the first time?

  Did I say that I want to take Orcs as followers?

   Qing Kong explained: "Please don't pay attention to what the cat said. There is wine in the canned fish. He is drunk and dizzy."

   When the sheriff was about to speak out again, Jenny grabbed him and quickly stuffed him into a large pocket under the overalls. The speed is fast enough for the sheriff to let out a "meow".

   Then it was quiet.

  Kyle Hain knew that he should not be angry with a cat, although this guy can talk, eat better than himself, and his hair has been carefully maintained...

  The more I think about it, the more angry I get!

Kyle Hain hurriedly stopped thinking about the black cat, and assured Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, please trust me, Kyle Hain. Since I have accepted your commission, no matter what happens, I will definitely Send you and your followers to the grassland of the ancestors."

  Clear Sky put a gold coupon on the table and said to Orc Hamm: "My camels and pack animals are outside, feed them with the best fodder you have here. Prepare another camel for my guide...

   It seems that he doesn't have any travel supplies. If you open a tavern here, you should know what he will need, so just purchase it for him.

  If the money is not enough, I will make it up when I leave. "

  The gold pattern on the surface of the gold coupon on the table is very dazzling, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern, eager to pounce on it and fight for it.

  In the western region, especially outside the areas directly controlled by the empire, the paper currency issued by the empire has not been widely recognized. Bartering is a common way of trading, and the status of precious metal currency such as gold, silver and copper is unshakable.

  However, the gold and silver certificates endorsed by the Shuojin people and the World Bank were successfully accepted by the Western Territory. And because it is easy to carry and use, the exchange rate of gold and silver coupons to gold and silver exceeds the standard exchange rate of the empire.

  A gold coupon is a huge sum of money for everyone here, and the direct sense of wealth impact even exceeds that bottle of water element essence whose value varies from person to person.

  The orc Ham scanned the tavern, dispelling everyone's greed. He seized the gold coupon to verify its authenticity, and then said: "What a generous elf lady. Your camels and pack animals will be well looked after, and your guide will have a complete set of travel supplies.

   I wish you a pleasant meal and a safe journey. "

  The orc Ham took the gold coupon and turned back to the back kitchen.

Kyle Hain kept staring at the golden ticket and followed Hamm away, then looked away reluctantly and complained to Qingkong: "You should give me that golden ticket, I can save you a lot of money. I can guarantee , he will blackmail you severely in the end.

   I'm all too familiar with Hamm's tricks. "

   Qingkong said: "If you want to reach the grassland of the ancestors as soon as possible, some necessary expenses for buying roads are indispensable. I would rather spend a little more money than be constantly harassed on the road."

  Kelhain said confidently of his own strength: "You mean Sand Pirates? Don't worry, Miss Clear Sky, I guarantee that all your expenses on me will be worth the money."

   Qing Kong just smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Want to eat canned food?"

   "Can I eat it?" Kyle Hain had long been envious of those canned foods with strong aromas, but he didn't have the nerve to ask for them.

   "Of course. This thing is very cheap for us, and we have prepared enough food and water for this trip."

   Qing Kong knocked on the table, and the water surface rose from the bottom of the glass to the rim in the empty wine glass in Kyle Hain's hand.

  Jen Ferney pushed a can of meat and fruit to Kyle Hain: "Please enjoy, if you are not full, I still have..."

  Kel Hain was very happy: "Delicious food and plenty of water, this is definitely a wonderful journey. Thank you Miss Clear Sky and Miss Jenny."

   After speaking, Kyle Hain stuffed the uneaten horse bran pie into his pocket, picked up the fork and ate the can.

   The non-stop compliments while eating caused everyone in the tavern to swallow their saliva non-stop. Several of them hurriedly paid their bills, and after taking a deep look at the clear sky, they quickly left the tavern.

  After Kyle Hain killed the four barrels of canned food, the orc Hamm came out from the back kitchen. This time he sat down directly, sniffed the scent of canned food unconsciously, and said to Qingkong: "Miss Elf, everything you want is ready. There are two gold coupons in total, and you still owe one..."

  The short-mouthed Kyle Hain immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Ham, did you buy a camel cavalry? You have made a lot of money, please stop!"

  Ham ignored Kyle Hain and kept staring at the clear sky.

  Qing Kong smiled and said, "It's only two gold coupons, isn't it a bit small?"

What?

  Kyle Hain was taken aback. I'm trying my best to save you money, but you still think that few people are slaughtered, are you so willful if you have money?

  Ham smiled helplessly: "It seems that Miss Elf understands the shady things in the Burnt Wood camp very well. I have tried my best to mediate for you, but the wealth you reveal and your beauty make many people unwilling to give up."

   "Then I will show my strength a little bit, and you can talk to them for me?"

  After Qingkong finished speaking, the originally hot room was replaced by a burst of coolness, and then the roof rustled.

It's raining!

  The people in the tavern immediately noticed the change in the weather. Someone opened the door of the tavern, and the rain curtain was rushing down the eaves, and the ground in front of the door quickly became muddy.

   Ten meters away, there is still yellow sand all over the sky, and the refraction caused by the high temperature makes the distant scenery shake. People around the camp, seeing the rain here, ran over with containers to hold water.

  But in an instant, the raindrops turned into icicles, and heavy snow fluttered around the tavern, forming a strange scene in the hot desert.

  In the tavern, the temperature dropped rapidly, everyone's exhaled breath turned into white mist, and frost condensed on the eyelashes and eyebrows.

  The water in the cup was frozen out of the ice layer.

  At this time, Qingkong asked the orc Hamm: "This snow should help you mediate for me better."

Hamm said respectfully: "Respected and powerful magician, please forgive me for offending you just now. I guarantee that everyone in the Burnt Wood camp has already felt your kindness, and those who covet your wealth and beauty will thank you Ender who does not kill.

   Hold on, I'll bring their attitudes soon. "

  The wind and snow stopped suddenly, and the sweltering heat brought sand and dust rushing in from the door, making the goblin close the door as quickly as possible, and then enjoy the coolness preserved in the room.

   Qing Kong said to Hamm: "I can understand their difficulties. Some people will feel uncomfortable if we are allowed to cross the border like this. After all, people need to eat and horses need to eat grass. It is hard to guarantee that some hungry people will take risks.

  I don't want any delay on this journey, let them make a price, as long as it is suitable, I can accept it. "

  Ham stood up and saluted Qingkong: "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Elf, I guarantee that no one in the Burntwood Camp will dare to upset you on the way."

  Ham strode out the door, and deliberately stopped under the eaves to let the falling water wet his body, and then walked away comfortably.

   Kyle Hain, who didn't know what happened, asked Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, what are you talking about with Hamm? Why can't I understand?"

  Clear Sky looked at Kyle Hain and asked: "I don't even understand this, I really don't know how you make a living in Burntwood Camp."

  Kelhain said embarrassingly: "I heard from others that during the Harvest Festival, you can receive high-paying commissions at the Burnt Wood Camp, so I just came here not long ago.

   But don’t worry, Miss Clear Sky, I am very familiar with Harmutu Basin, and I know how to quickly reach the grassland of the ancestors. "

  Clear Sky didn't suspect Kyle Hain. This guy looked like an adult, but as a half-orc, his real age was definitely much younger than his appearance.

  And some rules in the desert, if no one teaches, I am afraid that even the locals will not know.

   It should take some time for Hamm to negotiate, so Qingkong explained to Kyle Hain what he talked about with Hamm.

  The Scorched Wood Camp is located on a road that enters and exits the Harmutu Basin. Travelers and caravans will definitely undergo some repairs when they arrive here. This gives Sand Pirates the opportunity to investigate the goods that these people carry with them.

  When encountering valuable goods and loosely guarded caravans, the Sand Bandits can set up an ambush in advance according to the situation.

  Therefore, there are many sand bandit eyes in the Burntwood camp.

   And the two female elves and female humans traveling alone, and carrying a lot of property, are naturally fat sheep in the eyes of sand robbers.

  "Ham runs the tavern here, so he must know who is the spy of the Sand Pirates. I want to spend some money so that the Sand Pirates will not delay my journey, so I entrust Hamm to negotiate on my behalf.

  The first negotiation didn’t go well. I showed some strength and was willing to give money. The Sand Pirates should know how to choose. "

   "Wow..." Kyle Hain said in surprise after hearing this: "It's your first time in the Western Territory, and you know more than I do."

  Qing Kong said: "I didn't say it was the first time I came to the Western Territory, but the way I came here was different. Do you still eat canned food?"

  Kelhain licked his mouth, but finally held back: "I can't eat any more, and I can't protect you if I eat any more.

  Although my strength is not as good as yours, I will definitely be worthy of what you pay me, and there are so many delicious canned food. "

   "Okay, then rest, wait for Ham to bring back the news, and then we will leave."

   Qing Kong took out a book and summoned a spiritual ball to illuminate himself.

   Seeing such a scene, Kyle Hain didn't dare to make any noise, and even the others in the tavern acted cautiously. In this backward and wild world, people have an instinctive respect for knowledge and scholars.

  In a dilapidated tent at the corner of the Burnt Wood Camp, a group of mixed people of various shapes and races surrounded the orc Ham, listening to his persuasion.

   "You must have seen the vision that just happened outside the tavern. That elf is a very powerful magician, and attacking her will cause you serious casualties. People are dead, so what's the use of asking for more money?

  The elf has important things to go to the grassland of the ancestors. She doesn't want people to harass and delay her time on the way, so she is willing to pay a fee for a quiet journey.

   Let's make an offer, everyone. "

  One of the diners who had just been in the tavern said: "I saw the elf gave the half-orc a bottle of water elemental essence, and one drop of water elemental essence can produce two large glasses of water.

  I'm sure she has more water elemental essence, you should know the value of water in the desert. "

  Another person who also came out of the tavern said greedily: "She still has the meat and fruit stored in the tin can, just take out a gold coupon at will."

  The descriptions of the two made the sand robbers attracted by these wealth.

  Ham said loudly: "She can also produce a wide range of rainfall in a dry desert environment, and can also create ice and snow in high temperatures. I personally feel the coldness. Only if she is willing can she instantly turn me into an ice sculpture.

   Don't let the greedy sand fool your eyes, since the elves have shown kindness, you'd better accept it.

  This is an old sand thief's advice to you. If you rob those who should not be robbed, they will only be submerged under the sand dunes. "

  At this time, a prestigious sand thief stood up and said: "Ham is right, the sand thief who robs for survival is the master of the desert, and the sand thief who robs for wealth is the dry bones of the desert.

  Since the elf expresses her kindness with her strength, we should also recognize our own strength and curb our greed, and be grateful to the elf for saving some of us from dying under her magic.

   Drowning in water in the desert is definitely an extremely embarrassing thing. "

   Sand Pirates’ words caused a burst of laughter.

  Ham also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene: "It seems that everyone is willing to give the elves a quiet journey, so let's talk about what you want from the elves?"

  The Sand Bandit just said without hesitation: "I want a bottle of water element essence."

  Those Sand Pirates who were pondering how much gold coupons they want immediately woke up: "I want a bottle of water elemental essence."

   "I want a bottle of water elemental essence."

   "I want a bottle of water elemental essence."

  …

  Hamm didn't expect these Sand Pirates to want this thing.

  He returned to his tavern, told Qing Kong what the Sand Pirates wanted, and said apologetically: "I know that any items related to alchemy are very expensive, and you wouldn't carry so much water elemental essence with you.

   But please give them some, let them divide it by themselves, and then pay a little more gold coupons.

  This kind of water source that can be carried with you is too tempting for those who walk in the desert all year round! "

  Qing Kong was very surprised: "Do those sand robbers want the essence of water elements? Don't think about gold coupons at all?"

  Qingkong originally wanted to bleed for this safe journey, but he didn't expect that what Sand Pirate wanted was so different from what he had imagined.

  Ham said embarrassedly: "If you are really embarrassed..."

   "No, it's not embarrassing at all!" Qingkong was afraid that Hamm would repent, and quickly took out bottle by bottle of water elemental essence, without any hesitation about the eyeballs that were about to burst out of a circle of people. Finally, ask: "Is it enough?"

  Ham's mind went blank, and he nodded dully: "Enough!"
