Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

"When Dorothy recovers, I have to come here again and thank Ms. Ye Lixi."

Rose thought so, and then left the restricted area of ​​the Black Lake Mire with the huge mercenary group.

Declining the kindness of the huge mercenary group to continue to "escort" her to the Holy Lito Empire, Rose parted ways with these mercenaries outside the Black Lake Swamp.

Afterwards, she took Dorothy to the opposite direction from the giant mercenary group.

This mercenary group was going back to a large city in South Sotua to take over the task, but Rose's destination was to go to the northeast border of South Sotua and step into the territory of the Holy Lito Empire.

This caused the two groups of people to almost turn their backs.

"Then, goodbye!"

After Rose waved goodbye to this group of mercenaries who were obviously not quite right, she led Dorothy back on the horse and stayed away from this group of guys with more brain power than ordinary demons.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Finally got rid of it."

Rose was so emotional, and then immediately suppressed the fluctuation of the legendary power of the holy light on her body.

After all, although Dorothy has been "cursed", she is still in an unstable state.

If you can avoid high-level battles, avoid them as much as possible.

Although exuding a legendary breath can reduce a lot of "trouble" in a sense, but at this point in time, a legendary priest wandering around is too easy to cause bigger troubles.

What's more, if the opponent detects the legendary aura and still chooses to fight Rose...

Then Rose thought about it, it might as well be that the ones who came were all below the legendary level, but with a higher frequency.

But fortunately, on this next road, I never encountered even harassment.

Before dark, Rose fed the horse and ate carrots, and drove slowly. At sunset, she also reached the next target town.

Rose compared the map drawn by magic perception in her mind, and confirmed the name of the town in front of her.

"It's 'Fruitwood Town'." Rose looked at the lights of the town in front of an orchard in the distance, and did some calculations in her head, "In this way, I can leave Nansuotu by walking one more day tomorrow. in Asia."

The Black Lake Swamp is indeed a shortcut that saves a lot of distance, not to mention that Rose seems to have taken a shortcut in the swamp with the help of the gift from Miss Witch Ye Lixi.

Under normal circumstances, if you go around the Black Lake Swamp and travel from the west side of South Sotua to the border with the Holy Lito Empire, even if you ride a well-trained war horse that has eaten golden carrots, it will probably take nearly half a month. .

This time was almost shortened by Rose by more than half.

Dorothy, who had no idea about this, nodded ignorantly, and then said, "Isn't that... the end is coming soon."

When Dorothy said this, she still felt a little bit disappointed and regretful.

Although she didn't think of anything, the girl had vaguely noticed that opportunities to get along with two people like Teacher Rose were actually rare.

"Yeah, everything will be fine soon."

Rose smiled and touched Dorothy's head, not noticing the slight emotion that flashed in the girl's heart.

Afterwards, the two got off their horses and walked towards the "Fruit Tree Town", which is not so prosperous and huge, but still very lively.

This is a very rare place in South Sotua where there are more non-mercenary transcendents than mercenaries.

Most of the Transcendents here are doing the job of "guarding the orchard" as guards.

Although it sounds a bit overkill, in fact, it is natural that the fruit tree planting industry can be developed here in South Sotua, where there are many monsters and the situation is complicated.

The mayor here is not a native of South Sotua, nor is he a mercenary.

But a magister from the Mage Association.

Although his strength is only at the extraordinary level, he is extremely good at natural magic and earth elemental magic.

During his travels, the mage accidentally discovered the soil of "Fruitwood Town", which has a special affinity for nature and the magic power of the life system.

So he lived here and built his own orchard.

The natural magic that is used on ordinary crops in the outside world can achieve twice the result with half the effort around the land in Guomu Town!

The small town that was originally named or even famous for its "luxuriant fruit trees" had a lecturer from the Mage Association as the mayor, and quickly expanded its scale, and with the help of more efficient planting methods with magic, Planting and fruit industries have become more developed.

Soon, even the royal family of South Sotua will choose this place as the main supply source for the special fruits, spices and other ingredients.

There will also be a scene where the extraordinary is willing to guard the orchard.

Because the value of these orchards is really high enough, and the owner here really has the capital to be able to afford to hire extraordinary people to show him the orchards.

This is a good place for many retired mercenaries or some South Sotua transcendents who didn't like to take risks at the beginning.

Take a leisurely look at the orchard, and deal with the small monsters that come and steal the fruit—you only need to do these tasks every day that are completely life-threatening. At most, you can get paid for helping to pick the fruit during the harvest season. Although it is not high, it is enough Let people have no worries about food and clothing.

This is already a good choice for many extraordinary people.

It's not that working hard and fighting is the only way out for the superhumans in South Sotua.

Of course, there are countless routes and paths to choose from within the long eastern border between South Sotua and the Holy Lito Empire. Rose chose this small town as the foothold of the forward route...

It can be said that her purpose has been clearly revealed.

Rose's own planting skills are far superior to the mayor of Fruitwood Town from the Mage Association, because no matter how noisy the other party is, the magic power applied to the plants is nothing more than promoting growth and improving the taste on an ordinary level.

Rose has managed to cultivate what only gods and nature can create...

A magical creation.

It can be used not only as ingredients, but also as magic materials—even more advanced than magic materials.

After all, what is contained in it is active magic power that can be absorbed by diet and even ordinary people!

This point alone is enough for the health care products sold in the TV shopping in the previous life to be repeatedly emphasized by the host a dozen times in an exaggerated tone.

However, this does not mean that Rose thinks that the fruits and vegetables in this town have no known value.

Anything that has the potential to be "delicious" and has been given the name "delicious" itself, Rose wants to know about.

It was good for Dorothy too!

Dorothy's amnesia is due to the abnormality of the soul, and the abnormality of the soul can also be manifested as emotional instability.

At such times, it was helpful for Dorothy to eat delicious food to keep her soul happy.

No, no matter when, people should let themselves taste delicious food as much as possible!

That's Rose's point of view!

After taking Dorothy into the fruit tree town, Rose saw a series of fruit stalls at the entrance of the town.

This is the most abundant variety of fruit Rose has seen since she came to this world except her own territory.

All kinds of ripe fruits are placed in rows of stalls, and many of the fruit stall owners sitting behind the stalls even have a certain amount of magic power fluctuations on their bodies.

Rose led Dorothy to one of the fruit stands, and turned to look at Dorothy.

"Would you like something to eat?"

She asked softly. Dorothy originally wanted to say no, but seeing the dazzling array of fruits, the little girl swallowed unconsciously.

"Then... this yellow, round one."

Dorothy whispered.

"Oh, this is Hilly Honeydew, also known as Golden Melon, it's really delicious," Rose pinched Dorothy's face, "The origin of this stuff covers your hometown, you should have eaten it A lot of."

"Is that so?" Dorothy looked at the net pattern on the round, fist-sized yellow melon fruit, tried hard to remember, and finally shook her head in frustration, "I don't have any impression."

"That's okay, maybe you'll remember it when you eat it," Rose changed her hand from pinching Dorothy's face to rubbing her chin, "It's okay even if you forget the taste, I think it's better …The surprise when you eat a delicious food for the first time is irreplaceable, if you can enjoy the same taste twice, even I would be a little envious.”

Rose said, looking at the boss behind the melon stand.

"Boss, here are two Hilly Honey Fruits."

The boss behind the melon stall was sitting on a deck chair, and seemed to be dozing off, but was awakened by Rose's voice, and immediately made a sound.

"Five of Hilly Honey Fruits are sold, and two are not sold..."

As he said so, he got up, and then saw the appearance of Rose and Dorothy.

Before Rose could say "Okay, let's have five", the boss seemed to be slightly stunned when he saw the priest uniform of the same style of the Church of Light on Rose.

He stared at the symbol of the circle of holy light on Rose's shoulder and upper arm for a while, and immediately changed his words.

"Ah, I'm sorry...I made a mistake, what I said was...uh, two can be sold, and five can also be sold."

As he said so, he stood up awkwardly.

Rose looked at the boss's appearance and felt a little curious.

"Ah? That's it... then let's have two," Rose said, scratching her head, "How much are two?"

"That, this, probably how much money do you think is appropriate?"

The boss's voice seemed a little disturbed.

Rose was a little happy when she heard the boss's rhetorical question.

"Hey, that's interesting, you run a fruit stand, how much is it right for you to ask me?"

Rose laughed so softly that a bead of sweat broke out on the boss's head.

"Ah, yes," he bent down, picked up the two largest-looking fruits, and handed them to Rose, "then... two copper coins..."

As he said this, Rose took the melon and weighed it with her hands, looked at the fruit scale at the boss's feet, and shook her head gently.

"Don't even weigh it...forget it."

As she said so, she hugged the melon in her arms, then took a handful of copper coins with one free hand, and handed them to the boss.

"It should be about this price... Don't be so cautious, I'm not a bad person."

Rose said so, and led Dorothy with two melons in her arms, and left the fruit stand.

Concentrate the magic power on the fingertips, and gently peel off the top cover of the honey fruit, revealing the semi-fluid pulp that is as sweet as bee jelly inside.

"Come and try it."

Rose handed the honey fruit to Dorothy, and Dorothy looked back at the relieved boss who seemed to have escaped a catastrophe, showing a puzzled expression.

"Teacher, why is that boss so scared?"

"I don't know, maybe he has some misunderstanding about the Church of Light," Rose said casually, "After all, it's only one day's journey away from the Holy Lito Empire, and it's not that people in the Church of Light don't eat fruits. Come here to shop."

Rose also probably guessed that those guys from the Illuminati Church who came here might not be very friendly to these common people who sell fruit.
