Minte was startled: "Someone ran away? Who?" Then he reacted, "You mean Esparo and the others?! How is this possible?! Weren't they burned to death together?! The Hedda family members are Preparing for a funeral!"
"It's true. My people saw it, so I chased after them. Unfortunately, they still escaped." Jada clenched her fist angrily and hit the table. "There are also a group of unidentified monsters in Nomonka! They haven't been there for a day. Root out these guys and we won't be able to let them go
Minte hurriedly comforted: "Even if they escape, you can order the checkpoints along the way to step up inspections to prevent them from going back earlier than you. Moreover, didn't Esparo say that the group of monsters left in Nomonka will be returned?" Are they just eggs? As long as they are found and burned as soon as possible, it will be fine." After thinking about it, he said, "I think these monster eggs are probably hidden in Dongshan. Do you still remember what I mentioned in my letter? There is an empty shell of the initial form of Warcraft in Dongshan, but it is larger than what we have seen. It should be smaller every time it sheds its shell. I didn't know what it was at the time, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't check it carefully. If you follow this clue, you should be able to find clues. Dongshan has a small population, so it is easy to burn."
A trace of surprise flashed across Jada's face: "Letter? You mean the letter you sent me five days after you escaped?"
"I only gave you a letter, what's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing." Jada turned away and cleared her throat, "The letter...had a little accident, so I didn't see the content inside. Where did you see the shell of the World of Warcraft? Can you tell me again? ?"
Huh? Minte looked at him in surprise. After he urged her again, she woke up and told the whole story. When Jada heard that Minte walked through the secret passage marked on the stolen map, her face became a little ugly. She gritted her teeth for a while and then said: "So that's it... I was originally wondering how you could do that. You escaped back to Xi'an so quickly. It turns out... it's something on the map..." He asked casually: "Do you still have that map? Anyway, there's no war anymore, so give it back to me."
Minte's eyes widened: "Don't you have one?"
"My share...was left in the barracks and burned." Jada quickly found an excuse. He hid the fact that there was no secret passage on his map.
The maps and information he obtained were obtained from the Wiszar female spy Namu, and Namu recited them after peeking at them from Prince Lawlor. Since there was too much information and she had to write it down in a short time, she only wrote down the parts that were useful to Wei Sha. The secret passage of Dongshan is the shortcut to the east of Noga. It was of no use to Wei Sha, so he didn't write it down. Naturally, Jada didn't know about it.
Hearing that the things Min Te stole were even more complete than what he had on hand, he felt unhappy anyway.
Minte hesitated for a moment. He said: "The things have been handed in. I can't give them to you. But I still remember what the map of the secret passage looks like." He took a piece of paper from the table next to him. According to memory. The secret passage and the surrounding mountainous terrain were drawn. The location where the World of Warcraft shell was found is also noted.
He handed the picture to Jada. Said: "That's it. I hope it can be helpful to you. This secret passage can probably allow thousands of people to pass through. But 30,000 people are a bit reluctant. You can figure it out."
Jada took the picture and looked at it for a few times. The value of this secret passage was immediately discovered. It just didn't show on the face. Collect the picture carefully. He said: "Thank you very much. With this, I can return to Nomenka two days earlier. Now I know how to deal with the monsters. I feel more relieved. But I still have to go back early to solve it!" He took out a few coins A scroll: "This is what the magician you found gave me. You see. With them, those monsters are no longer a problem."
Minte looked at the scrolls carefully. He has seen many good magic scrolls. It can be seen that these things are made of good materials. It just seems new. And it is made of high-grade blank scrolls produced in Xico. The dark patterns on the surface are very easy to recognize.
Who made the land? Minte thought hard. Although I know that there is a great magician sitting in Xiko. But after casting large-scale magic for such a long time, the old man. I was so tired that I fell down and fell asleep. How could there be any spare time to make scrolls
He reached out and touched the scroll. Immediately noticed that there was a faint layer of light magic aura on it. The image of a young man wearing a dark blue robe could not help but appear in his mind.
"Minte? Minte?" Jada saw that he was stunned and called him several times before he woke up and smiled: "What's the matter?"
Jada stared at him strangely and then said: "Our army will retreat soon. We will leave after dinner. Time is urgent, so I can't go to see General Noward. I hope he can understand." After saying that, she smiled. , "I have been to your place once. If there is anything important, General, please come to my place and talk to me."
Minte twitched his lips and didn't know what to say. He could only say: "The marshal means that this time we are cooperating against the enemy and getting along fairly well. It is better to avoid conflicts in the future. Anyway, the land here has been burned. Most of it has been contaminated by the black ash left by those monsters and is no longer suitable for farming. There is no need for your country to occupy it again. Why not sign an agreement between the two countries? If you have difficulties in the future, we can also help."
Jada smiled after hearing this: "Yes, the land can no longer be used for farming. It's a joke to go all the way in vain, right?" He glanced at Mint: "I will repay you for signing the agreement. Your Majesty, I don't have the right to decide such a big thing." Maybe when he returns to Nomonka, he will lose even his current rights.
Minte didn't know how to respond. At this time, the soldier outside the door came to report: "Sir, the box has been loaded into the car." Jada hurriedly went out to check. Minte followed and saw him carefully inspecting a one-meter-square box. I wonder if the big wooden box is fixed, "What's in the box? Why are you so nervous?"
Jada caressed the surface of the box: "It's Sargent. I packed his ashes and soil together. We came together, so of course we have to go home together."
"Eh?!" Minte was shocked, "But those gray..."
"Don't worry, the magician named Alex helped me purify it with light magic. He said there will be no problem."
Minte felt relieved now. It seemed that Alex was indeed a believer.
Jada sighed and turned to look at Minte: "I'm going to leave soon. This time... I don't know what to say, anyway. Even if we are even, I won't blame you again in the future, maybe... too I can't blame you anymore. Take care, my friend." He twitched his lips and patted Mint on the shoulder.
Minte suddenly felt a little heavy, and hurriedly comforted him and said: "Actually, the matter is not that serious. You are also doing it for the benefit of the country, but you are just being used by others. Moreover, you fought bravely and commanded well. You have fought against Warcraft several times. You have preserved the main force of the army and won the final victory. As long as your king is here, nothing will happen."
Jada shook his head: "Although the war was won,... more than a thousand people died in our 30,000-strong army, and all the armaments accumulated over the past few years were used up. When I go back, I will have to pay the price. , who asked me to propose this action?" He smiled self-deprecatingly. "But you are right. With His Majesty here, my life will not be in danger."
Minte saw Jedda out of the town and watched him lead the army to disappear on the horizon before returning to Xiko, feeling heavy in his heart.
He returned to the South District listlessly, and saw Sauron hurriedly walking towards him: "You came just in time, I have something I want you to do." After that, he took out a bill of lading and said, "This is what Pai and I have done." A list of materials ordered from the Silas Potion Raw Materials Store. It was agreed to pick up the goods tomorrow. But now the great magician Sufa has suffered a serious loss of magic power and must return to the academy to recuperate immediately. This time I asked him to take action, so I must take responsibility. He sent it back. It was too late to pick up this batch of materials. You can help me get it tomorrow and then send it over." Then he stuffed the list into Mint's arms.
Min Te hurriedly said: "But I still have to go back to the headquarters..."
"It's not urgent. They are all things I usually use. I bought them when I saw the store was looking for a bargain. You just need to send them to my place before winter." Sauron heard someone calling him from behind. He hurriedly turned around and said a few words before saying to Minte, "Okay, that's it. Remember to get everything. Remember to review! I don't have time now. You must give it to me when I see you next time. Make all the "Eight Hundred and Eighty-eight Commonly Used Magic Potions" written by Edith Ames, remember?!"
Minte opened his mouth, but didn't have time to protest. Sauron then left. He was left alone wailing in his heart. That book has been recognized as a perverted textbook in the potions industry across the continent for thousands of years, even by potions instructors in orthodox magic schools. At least half of the people have not read the above recipe, and among those who have read it, less than a quarter can make it all. Teacher Sauron, are you sure you are teaching a potion apprentice and not copying Severus Sauron
Although he was full of resentment, he still put the list away and planned to start memorizing the formula as soon as he got home. He walked towards the temporary headquarters of the Security Bureau in the South District. The closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly ran into the house and found that everyone was packing their things. He was shocked: "Boss, what are you doing? !”
The white-haired Mallory turned around and saw him, and said: "Just in time, I was just about to tell you that I will rush back to Yidong tomorrow. There seem to be many mysteries behind this incident. I must go back and report to His Majesty. Novartis General De will stay here to take charge of the overall situation. I will take two people away, and the other colleagues will stay temporarily to help the general. You are the youngest among everyone, but you are the one who knows the ins and outs of the matter best. I will let you be the deputy team leader, Fei Team leader Si Dang, you have to assist him well. When the matter is over, go back to the headquarters and explain the whole process of this mission in detail."
Minte turned to look at Faith, who was standing next to him, and recognized him as a rather low-key member of the General Administration who had cooperated with him once before, so he nodded silently.
The next day, when he was bidding farewell to Mallory, he saw the Hedda family's carriage again. Aloy's eyes have not been completely cured, but the environment in Xiko is not conducive for patients to recuperate, and the potion master left in a hurry, so the family decided to return to Ito first, just in time to accompany Mallory.
It seemed that all of a sudden, everyone left. Minte felt a little empty in her heart and felt very confused. When Faith saw this, he smiled and said to him: "Everyone is tired. General Noward rarely lets us work. You can just walk around and see the situation in the town. We will send a signal if something happens." .”
Minte thought for a while and agreed. He first went to the potion raw materials store and took out all the goods ordered by Teacher Sauron. When he saw the amount, he was shocked. I hurriedly took out the list and looked at it again and again, only to realize that I had mistaken one hundred kilograms for ten kilograms. I didn't understand why the teacher ordered so many materials.
Fortunately, his storage ring was specially made by Han Lin, and the space was ten times larger than other storage devices, so he could barely fit in 80% of it and the other 20%. He put it in the storage bracelet.
He was a little curious and asked the shop owner: "Has my teacher ever mentioned why we bought so many materials? This can be used for several years."
The thin shopkeeper replied: "Professor Solon is a regular customer of mine. I was planning to close the business here, so I decided to transfer all the inventory at a low price. I found him first and sold it all at once. Your teacher is really What a nice guy, he paid me an extra five percent. Anyway, this thing won’t break if it’s stored in a storage device, and it saves me the time to buy it later. The land I sell is all high-quality goods! It’s absolutely worth it! Minte complimented him and asked: "Why do you want to end the business properly? Is it because there was a war here?" It shouldn't be possible, right? Even if the land is contaminated. Most of the residents here rely on commerce for their livelihood, so it’s not like they can’t do business, right? Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street outside, you can tell that Siko after the war was not much different from before the war.
The shop owner sighed: "It's hard to do this. This time many shops donated their goods to the army for the war. The marshal is a good man and doesn't owe us any money. We just make a small fortune. To tell you the truth, young man, since the Vatican In the Afon Kingdom, the market has been a lot depressed. There are few residents near Xiko. People in the north prefer to go to Mayton for business in recent years, and domestic material shops have gradually moved their shops to Water City. After all, it is closer to Shaonan, and there is a big forest nearby. Xi Ke, in fact, it is not as good as before. I am also planning to go to Water City to open a small shop again. When I need potion materials in the future, remember to come Find me Paisila."
Minte responded with a smile, stepped out of the store, and looked up. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen stores on one street packing goods. Does this mean that it is a material distribution center for the entire continent? About to reshuffle? Xiko, a materials center that has been renowned for more than 600 years, will soon become a
He walked around casually and found that the situation on several other streets was similar. The shops in the North District did not have this situation, but he began to feel uneasy, worried that other shops had moved away, which would affect the livelihood of the residents in the North District. and life. Some businessmen began to sigh, and even counted the goods returned before the army left, some carelessly.
One businessman said to another: "Look. I sent out forty carts of sesame oil. Only half of the cart came back. Is it really all used up? What on earth did they use the oil for?"
The latter smiled and said: "Of course it was used to light the monsters on fire. Haven't you heard? That night, the fire on the plain burned until dawn, and it didn't go out until noon."
Seeing his smile, the former felt inexplicably unhappy: "Are you in a good mood? Didn't you lose money?!"
The latter raised his eyebrows proudly: "I'm sorry, not really. I sell daily necessities, unlike you who only deal with oil. Moreover, I also collected a few boxes of good stuff, and the price has doubled now. Wait. I found a buyer and got rich."
"What good stuff?! Say it, say it!"
The latter smiled, walked to a large wooden box in the store, and patted it: "It's spices! Excellent Weisha spices!"
spices
Minte suddenly stopped, frowned, and turned to listen to the conversation between the two businessmen.
Just listen to the owner of the spices say: "...a Nojia merchant who was eager for money sold it to me at half price. There are six boxes in total. You also know that there is a shortage of spices now and they are all sold out. How much is it worth here? , You don’t need me to tell you, do you?” He raised his hand and turned the lock on the box, intending to lift the lid and show his friends the goods inside.
Minte suddenly had a premonition of danger in his heart, and quickly shouted: "Don't open it!"
But he was a step too late. The merchant had already opened the lock, and the lid of the box suddenly opened, and a two-meter-long monster came out. It raised its two large claws and waved at the human in front of him.
(Calmness always conceals crisis... Votes, please vote for me a few more little pinks. It's the end of the month, at least let me stay on the list for a few more days...)
