miss mist go with the flow

As they spoke, the two carts full of bluestones moved back and forth again, crawling stubbornly along the official road in the direction of Tianshui Town.

Amy stood quietly on the spot, and after a long time, she sighed helplessly.

Perhaps it was because she lived in the prosperous age of flower growers in her previous life, and she always felt uncomfortable seeing this kind of scene.

Sirin sensed that she was in a bad mood and grabbed her hand, "Let's go faster and go to Tianshui Town to see what's going on."

"Ah."

The two quickened their pace and quickly overtook the two carts, leaving several townspeople behind.

At noon, the two saw the gate of Tianshui Town.

Tianshui Town is located by the river. When entering the town, you have to cross a stone bridge. A guard wearing a half-length leather armor and holding a blade of grass is sitting on a chair, leaning against the bridge and staring at the road in a daze.

When the two of Amy walked over, the guard's eyes flashed, and he stood up with a smile: "Stop! Ahem, according to the laws of the empire, well, our Tianshui Town is also considered a border town, and identity documents need to be checked when entering and leaving, please Show me your badge!"

These words should have been upright and dignified, but the guard's tone was half-hearted, with a greasy smell, which made Amy feel sick.

This guy's eyes were even more annoying, dishonestly dangling on her and Sirin, as if they were going to stick to them.

Compared with the militia in Misty Town, the quality is far worse.

Sirin narrowed her eyes, and turned her palm over. What was placed in her palm was not an identity card, but an orange badge engraved with a sword and rose pattern.

"Can I have this?" Sirin said in a bad tone.

When the guard saw the orange badge, he was so frightened that he didn't even notice that the blade of grass he was holding fell off. He wiped his eyes in disbelief, the idiot on his face faded, and replaced it with a more annoying one. Flattering smile: "No problem, of course no problem! Welcome two adults to Tianshui Town! Welcome, welcome!"

"Take care of your eyes." Sirin put away her badge, her blue eyes bursting with determination and murderous aura.

The guard stood there dumbfounded, his body shaking like chaff, and he didn't dare to speak at all.

It wasn't until the two of them passed the stone bridge that the guard slumped down on the chair, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

After crossing the stone bridge, Amy saw the stones piled up in the open space by the river at a glance.

These blue stones are piled up into a small hill, and someone is cutting and processing them. On the other side of the open space, the same style of wall in Misty Town has just started, and the workers are busy up and down.

This scene made Amy frown even harder. She touched Sirin's arm and whispered: "Do you think it's really useful for them to build this wall?"

Sirin shook her head slowly, "The key is not the fence, but the guards on the fence."

"I think so too." Amy said, "And I don't like the forced labor of townspeople."

"It's not convenient for us to intervene in this matter." Sirin said softly, "You can find someone to inform Miss Helen and let her handle it."

In fact, in the empire, this kind of forced labor of the people can be big or small, but since Amy is not used to it and wants to take care of it, Sirin will definitely accompany her.

Amy said: "Then go to the market street first and see if you can find the branch of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce."

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is much more reliable than mercenaries for delivering news.

The two bypassed the stone pile, entered the residential area of ​​Tianshui Town, and found Market Street along the road signs.

Compared with Misty Town, the market street in Sweetwater Town is quite deserted. There is not even a clothing store, only a small tailor shop.

The signboard of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is hung on the second-floor small building next to the tailor shop. The architectural style is the same as the small building of the Chamber of Commerce in Misty Town.

"Tsk tsk, it is indeed a giant chamber of commerce in the whole continent. There are branches in such a small place."

Amy sighed, and pulled Sirin into the room.

ps: The second one may be a bit late~ I suggest you watch it tomorrow morning~~

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 2 Shadows

Amy is a super VIP of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, and entrusting the arraignment is just a trivial matter, and it will be done soon.

When she walked out of the chamber of commerce, she stretched, planning to find a place to eat first.

There was a pub on Market Street that provided meals. Amy dragged Sirin in, ordered two glasses of malt wine and some food, and sat down at a window seat.

At noon, there were no customers in the tavern. Not long after Amy and Sirin sat down, another group of diners took their seats.

While waiting for the food to be served, Amy sneaked a peek at the group of people.

It was a four-member mercenary team, all of them were well-built adult males, their bodies were dusty, and they smelled like lime.

They wore thick gloves on their hands, leather knee pads on their legs, and boots on their feet, and they were tightly packed.

Not long after being seated, the tavern owner personally brought a big pot to serve, and the aroma of the broth floated to Amy and the others.

"Obviously we ordered first, why did they serve the food first?" Amy poked Sirin's arm, expressing her dissatisfaction in a low voice.

The owner of the tavern seemed to have heard her complaint, and after the food was served there, he ran to their table to apologize: "Miss, I'm sorry, the food you ordered is relatively delicate. Can spend more time cooking, unlike their table, a large pot of broth and stew, you can do whatever you want."

What she said was quite level, which dispelled Amy's little dissatisfaction.

The mercenaries took off their gloves and began to eat and drink, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was lively.

Amy's food was also served on the table. She took a sip of the malt wine, but she didn't feel the aroma of malt. She only felt that the taste was astringent and bitter, which was not good at all, so she pushed the glass to Sirin. , continue to taste other foods.

Sirin looked at the mouth of the glass. After picking up the glass of wine, she turned her wrist half a circle, took a sip, and showed a happy smile on her face.

"Is this good to drink?" Amy asked, blinking her eyes.

"It's just that I haven't had malt wine for a long time, and I miss it." Sirin said softly, "After the expedition team entered the abyss, the supplies were cut off, and the shield warriors in the team have always missed the taste of malt wine. He said it made me a little hungry."

Amy swallowed the food in her mouth and muttered, "That may be because I'm not suitable for drinking."

Sirin smiled, this elf was not so pretentious when facing fruit wine.She shook the wine glass lightly and said: "Wine is the sustenance of the spirit. Our soul has already been entrusted with it. Why drink again?"

As she spoke, she put down the glass and began to eat.

Amy glanced at Sirin. She felt that what Miss Swordsman said just now meant something, but she was too embarrassed to point it out. She puffed her cheeks and continued to eat with her head down.

The two didn't speak, and the voices of the mercenaries came over.

"We are all professionals, why do we hold back and knock rocks on the mountain?"

"Because the employer gave you a lot of money! You have been a mercenary for several years. You are not stupefied. If you have a lot of money, it is a good task. If you are tired, what's the matter? It's better than going to fight with monsters, right?"

"According to you, I would rather go to fight against monsters, I want to become stronger, and I don't want to stay in such a small place and knock on rocks!"

"Brothers don't quarrel, what's the point of arguing? Let's do tasks to save money first, and then go to a master when we have money, can't we learn something and become stronger?"

"The captain is right!"

……

"Ugh! My hand! My hand won't work!"

"Race! What's wrong with you!?"

"Stone—hands turned to stone!"

The mercenaries were chatting lively, suddenly there was a scream, and then there was a cry of pain, and the other mercenaries panicked.

Before Amy could react, Sirin had already left the dining table, and as she flew past, the sword light lit up in her hand.

laugh--

The sound of a sharp object breaking open was heard, followed by the scream of the mercenary. He clutched his wrist, blood was flowing, his entire palm had been severed, and he passed out from the pain.

Strangely, his severed palm had turned into a stone, and it was smashed to pieces after falling to the ground.

"You—you stinky woman! What did you do?!" One of the mercenaries was furious and raised his fist to hit someone, but was stopped by the leading captain.

The middle-aged captain with a beard shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be dazzled by anger! Didn't you see what happened just now? If this young lady hadn't made a timely move, Reese might have lost more than just his hands!"

"It's quite knowledgeable." Sirin drew back her sword, glanced at the captain, and waved to Amy, "Come here and help the wounded man stop the bleeding."

When she said this, Miss Swordsman's tone was a bit weird.

Amy snorted, stepped forward reluctantly, and used [Healing Technique] on the mercenary with the severed wrist.

The original effect of this magic is a small amount of healing, but Amy has used it a few times and found that its healing effect is actually very good. Under the condition of ensuring the supply of magic power, it is not a problem at all to stop the bleeding from the severed wrist wound.

The mercenary captain bowed respectfully to the two: "My lords, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, my companion might have died!"

The angry and furious mercenary also recalled it at this time, and bowed his head in shame to apologize.

The tavern owner wanted to come out to smooth things over, but when he saw that the two groups had reconciled, he simply stayed behind the counter and watched.

Sirin didn't care about these things, and asked with a serious expression. "Where have you been recently? Have you encountered anything special?"

Only then did Amy realize that Sirin's mood seemed to be a little off, no wonder her tone of voice was so blunt just now.

"We have been doing missions on Stone Forest Mountain for the past few days." The mercenary captain said quickly, "Usma, the sheriff of this town, hired us to help the townspeople mine bluestone."

Sirin continued to ask, "Where is the exact location of Stone Forest Mountain? How many people are there?"

"Go out from the gate on the east side, and you can see Shilin Mountain after a detour on the official road. The road up the mountain is also nearby, so it's not difficult to find." The mercenary leader said, "Besides us, there are two other mercenary teams working In addition, the stones pulled by the townspeople to build the wall were also quarried from the Stone Forest Mountain.”

Amy thought of the few townspeople she met on the way here, thought of the bluestones on the two carts, and the stones piled outside the town—if the mercenary’s hands were petrified because of these bluestones, Then Tianshui Town is dangerous!

In order to build the fence, the townspeople were assigned different tasks, but basically they all had contact with the bluestones quarried from the mountains!

Sirin was obviously also aware of this problem, with a haze and anger on her face.

The mercenary captain asked cautiously: "My lord, is there something wrong with the stones we mined?"

Seeing that Sirin didn't answer for a while, he kept his voice down and continued: "When Usma hired us, he specifically asked us to wear protective gear. I thought it was because I was afraid of being cut by stones. Now it seems that I'm afraid that those stones are weird, he is afraid that we will find something wrong if we touch them frequently."

"How long have you been on the mountain?" Sirin continued to ask without responding.

"Three days." The mercenary captain said, "We decided to go down the mountain because Reese said he wanted to have a good meal today."

When he said this, he looked at his companion's broken wrist, and a distressed expression flashed across his face.

"During this period, have you encountered any accidents such as earthquakes or rock wall collapses?" Sirin asked.

The mercenary captain thought about it for a while, and said: "The night before yesterday, there seemed to be a brief earthquake near the camp, but the shock was not obvious, and it disappeared soon. I'm not sure."

The left hand in Xilin's sleeve was already clenched into a fist. She tried her best to put on a peaceful appearance and said, "I probably know what's going on. If you have time, how about you go up the mountain with us?"

"Am I alone?" The mercenary captain looked at the brother behind him and nodded, "No problem!"

"What's your name?" Sirin asked.

"My name is Darko, a native of Tianshui Town." The mercenary leader paused and added, "I am familiar with the way up the mountain, so I should be able to help you."

Amy's thinking has gone awry, a local, no wonder the tavern owner will give him preferential treatment.

"Very well, I will give you 15 minutes to settle this injured brother, and we will set off later." Sirin said quickly.

Darko froze for a moment, then asked, "Will Reis's wound worsen? Petrification symptoms..."

Sirin said: "I shot it in time, his petrification won't spread anymore."

"Then what about my two brothers? They..." Darko didn't finish his sentence, but Sirin understood what he meant.

She pulled out the silver and white sacrament, chanted a few incantations in a low voice, white light lit up on the sword, and swept across the bodies of several mercenaries.

There was a faint black mist floating on Reese's body, but the rest of them did not respond.

Sirin concluded, "Only Reese was recruited, and you are all fine."

"Damn it!" the irritable mercenary cursed in a low voice, "Usma is really nothing, even us!"

Darko's expression was not very good either. He picked up the comatose Reese, turned to the tavern owner and said, "Open a room, and Reese will be handed over to you for a few days. He said he was ill and needed someone to take care of him. I'm going to find medicine for him. The task on the mountain is temporarily postponed, so that Usma will not find out that something is wrong."

"Yes, boss!" The two mercenaries and the tavern owner responded at the same time.

Darko looked at Sirin and said, "It doesn't take 15 minutes, I can leave now!"

"Then you wait for us." Sirin took Amy's hand and left from the side door of the tavern, walking towards the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce not far away.

The two of them were alone during this section of the road, and Amy took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

With the inner anger hidden on Sirin's face, she gritted her teeth and said, "That mercenary's petrification may be related to the abyss monster."

Amy was also shocked, why did the matter suddenly involve the abyss monster?

300 years ago, after the expedition team broke into the core area of ​​the abyss world and sealed the current devil king, the monsters from the abyss never attacked the God Blessed Continent again.

For today's God Blessed Continent, the monsters of the abyss have become history, and the powerhouses of the new era don't even have the experience of fighting them.

If it is really an abyss monster, then Sirin's anger is easy to understand.

She was also a member of the expedition that year.

And compared to other players, she has a more special experience.
