"Karassi is the surname of a monster family here. Their ancestors have been in the business of monsters for generations, specializing in selling monsters to monsters from outside."
"Their business..." Having said this, the shopkeeper looked out the door, and then he not only sat closer to A Jin, but lowered his voice: "Their business is not authentic."
"Basically all the monsters they bought were sent to the Colosseum, and it wasn't the kind of formal Colosseum, it was the kind of underground Colosseum, where the monsters never die!"
"The principle of their family's business is basically to do it when they have money, regardless of other conditions. You see, although I am not a demon beast merchant, but that Trud... I don't agree with Trud's big money to buy a pack from me. I wouldn’t agree to be other monster merchants. Although everyone wants to make money, they don’t know that monsters were sold to death in the past, right?”
"General monster merchants pay attention to this point, but the Kalasi family is not. They sell it if they give money, and they don't care about the fate of those monsters!"
Ajin nodded thoughtfully: "That's why you deduced that the Carassi family sold the pack to Trud."
"Yeah!" The shopkeeper nodded solemnly: "Except for the Kalasi family, there was no demon beast merchant who would sell them to him at that time!"
"I don't know what kind of luck that kind of monster has gone through. It has become more and more developed in the past few decades. Originally, there was no shop, so I could only make some hideous voices. The right to invite to the hunting area!"
Ajin lowered her eyes: that's normal.
It was only the first step to get in touch with Trud, the then-powerful monster in the West Kowloon District, decades ago. In the following time, they must have acted as a medium to do many things for Trud in the north. With Trud's support, it is a matter of course for them to become a big Warcraft merchant in the north.
The abyss monster used by Trud at the Hundred Days Banquet should have been obtained by the Kalasi family for him...
The black-haired monster thought like this, as if to confirm what he was thinking, the shopkeeper whispered again:
"Their business is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's getting more and more immoral."
"I heard... they are still in the business of selling monsters as training containers. But I just heard the news, I'm not sure if it's true..."
At this point, one of the things that Ji Huan and his party wanted to know had been successfully understood.
Kalasi - This family sounds very dangerous, but it seems that it is one of the monsters they must come into contact with next.
Silently writing down the name, Ji Huan looked at the black egg sitting next to him, the black egg had already finished the cup of milk that Ajin gave him, and burped contentedly, the little monster's mouth was stained A circle of white milk stains.
The grandfather who was sitting opposite him pointed to his mouth, and the little monster immediately turned over his small bag, took out the mirror and handkerchief at the same time, and the little monster looked in the mirror and carefully wiped his face.
"Is it delicious?" When the little guy folded the handkerchief and put it away, Ah Jin asked from the other side of him.
"Delicious!" Black Egg replied loudly.
The shop owner, who had been in a low mood for a long time because of the previous topic, finally showed a slightly happy look again.
So Ah Jin continued to tell him, "Actually, maybe the pack might survive in the west."
"A monster I know also lived in a very cold place when he was a child. After a sudden earthquake, he found that he had separated from his clan, and the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes. Winter turned into summer, and later Knowing that he actually came to the west after the earthquake."
"He lives very well in the west. Although the weather is hot, he doesn't have much discomfort. He is a monster in a very cold place. Since he can survive in the west, maybe the packs from the north can also survive in the west."
Retell the story that I once told Mr. Nier, but this time, the protagonist of the story is no longer himself.
"Help me tell this story to the monster who provided you with fodder, and ask him, is it possible for the food on the pack to be successfully planted in the west, it's a pity that you can't leave with the pack, but I think maybe you can bring a batch of suitable food Go back and try planting the seedlings of the edible plants."
After speaking, Ah Jin gave the shopkeeper across from him a deep look.
His eyes were extremely deep, and the mind of the shopkeeper who was staring at him like this was instantly blank.
I always feel... the other party's eyes are so powerful...
Under the gaze of those black eyes, the shopkeeper nodded involuntarily.
Then Ah Jin's eyes moved away instantly.
"I came to visit the hunting area in Aptuo. I will be here until Aptuo is closed again. You can find me by this number." After saying that, Ajin wrote a series of numbers on the napkin in front of her. It was the new phone number he had checked out after arriving in the East.
"Okay... okay." This guest is so mysterious! Those eyes seemed to have magic power, and whenever he met those eyes, he always had a feeling that he would be spoiled in each other's eyes!
I always feel as if I have been hinted by the other party...
what is it then
The shop owner clutched his head in confusion. After sending off Jihuan and his party, he immediately called his feed supplier and told the other party the story that Ajin had told him. He then discussed with the other party some local It is possible to sell the plant to Ah Jin.
"He doesn't grow his own feed, but buys it from a feed supplier, so he has to ask his feed supplier about the provenance of that plant."
After a distance from the dairy shop, A Jin suddenly said:
"It's too conspicuous to ask the source of the feed as soon as you come up, and it's more gentle to buy the piggyback. Next, the shop owner should call the supplier. If it goes well, the supplier will contact me. of."
"If it was a little smoother, the supplier might have some clues about the whereabouts of the old monster race on the train."
"I have a hunch that the shopkeeper's supplier should have something to do with the race of the old monster." The right hand was placed on the chin, and the black eyes were bottomless, as if there was nothing in them... This is Ah Jin's habitual actions when thinking.
"Even if it doesn't matter, at least we have more clues about that leafy tree."
"Besides, we now know who to contact next."
"Anyway, this trip didn't come in vain."
Ajin came to a conclusion.
His voice was so low that only Jihuan's family next to him could hear him.
Grandpa didn't understand what he was talking about at all, but he felt that Ajin was very serious now. He couldn't help but put on a posture of listening carefully to the teaching, and the black egg hooked Jihuan's neck and tried to listen When Jin spoke, Ji Huan looked even more serious.
When A Jin finished speaking, Ji Huan asked Xiang A Jin in a low voice, "So, what should we do next?"
Ji Huan looked at A Jin seriously.
Grandpa and Heidan also looked serious.
This is what Ah Jin just saw when he pulled it out of his own thoughts.
He was startled, then suddenly smiled.
Pinching Heidan's serious face, he pointed to the front: "Next, we are going to enjoy the characteristic nightlife in northern cities! The barbecue in front smells good, how about it, do you want to try it?"
Next, under the leadership of Ah Jin, they actually went to enjoy the local nightlife in Miao Lani~
They ate the special barbecue meat roasted by the local monster meat, and drank the local wine. It seems that the wine in cold places is particularly strong, and the wine here is no exception. A Jin generously took the family to a business A very good tavern. As soon as you enter, you will ask for the best-selling wine, the most expensive wine, and the most distinctive wine. Each wine is a small glass, and even the black eggs are licked in the chirp cups. Small mouth.
When Ah Jin asked him which wine was the best to drink, Heidan pointed out the most expensive glass with his small paw.
Grandpa thinks that the best-selling wine tastes good - even if that wine is cheap (it sells because it is cheap)
They went to see the local song and dance performance together: many dancers were half-dressed in the hot spring, which was suggestive. When Jihuan was still thinking about whether it was good for Heidan to watch this kind of performance, Heidan had already Very skilled, he took out a golden stick from his small bag and handed it to a dancer who swam over.
This is definitely not the first time I've seen a similar performance!
I haven't brought him here, grandpa is even more impossible, the only possible object is—
Ji Huan's sharp gaze immediately shot at A Jin.
A Jin raised his hands ambiguously, in a gesture similar to surrender.
Finally, they also went to soak in the most famous hot spring in the area.
"It is rumored that the power of the Demon King's birth will trigger the flow of underground magma, but any place where the Demon King was born will suddenly spew out hot springs, and our hot springs appeared suddenly. The monsters that have soaked in it all call this the Demon King's Fountain!"
There are also special instructors next to the hot spring pool.
"The hot springs here are good for the skin and can treat a variety of diseases. Long-term soaking can also increase the stability of energy in the body! The monsters here are also more powerful than those in other places. It is said that the monsters also often bathe in hot springs. for the sake of it!"
The docent explained fluently, and at the end he thoughtfully asked them what kind of soup they wanted to soak in.
Only then did Jihuan realize that the habit of soaking in hot springs here is quite different from that in the west: the west focuses on the original water quality of the hot springs, while here, various other materials must be added to the hot springs:
For example, some dried medicinal materials, such as some fresh petals, such as some leaves with certain functions, and even various local wines can be added!
Jihuan conservatively chose not to add anything. Grandpa chose the herbal soup, Ajin chose the spirits soup, and Black Egg chose the fragrant flower bath!
The four people finally soaked in four soup pools. Looking at the four pools with different contents, Ji Huan's mind inexplicably came up with a word - "hot pot soup base".
Four people and four soup bases, and his side is a clear soup pot...
He suddenly wanted to laugh a little.
At this moment, a wine glass was handed over, and it was the wine glass that A Jin was drinking.
The white jade-like wine glass, filled with green wine pulp, looks very attractive.
"Do you want to drink?" A Jin's gentle voice came from the soup pool next door in the mist. Only then did the plan find out that A Jin was already sitting beside him.
There was only a pool wall between them, and the two sat side by side.
"I'm not good at drinking, I'll faint." Ji Huan said to A Jin very seriously.
"You can faint on my shoulder." Ah Jin pointed to his shoulder.
Ji Huan looked at him, then took the half glass of wine and drank it slowly.
The wine in this world is very strong, and with the wines he drank before, and perhaps the auxiliary effect of the high temperature of the hot springs, Jihuan's consciousness gradually blurred.
He knows that he may be on the "enemy" territory now, and he also knows that tomorrow he may be in close contact with the "enemy's man". Due to his choice, his flat life is in uncertain danger.
only-
At this moment, his heart was really calm.
For all the choices he has made so far, he has never regretted it.
Looking at A Jin quietly, Ji Huan's head slowly fell down.
In the end, his head rested lightly on Jin's shoulder.
He took the wine glass from Jihuan and refilled it. A Jin continued to drink and drink, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth from beginning to end.
No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
But I guess he's probably in a good mood.
He took Jihuan out of the hot spring pool and put it away, before waiting for the old monster to come over, A Jin took out the little monster behind him.
The little monster after the petal bath is full of petals, and it is very fragrant.
Before putting on clothes, A Jin and he took off the petals stuck on his body.
At the same time, in another hot spring pool, a silver-haired monster was closing his eyes in the hot water.
There are trees next to the pool. When the wind blows, the leaves will fall from the treetops, fall into the pool water, and then float quietly on the water.
Those leaves occasionally fell on his head, but the monster seemed to be unaware, allowing the leaves to continue to exist on top of his head.
The green and green leaves are like carvings of emeralds, the color is as warm as top emeralds, but not as cold and hard as stones.
That's some really nice green leaves.
Very familiar.
As if I've seen it somewhere...
In the mist, the monster suddenly stood up, and after he stood up, most of the green leaves fell from him, only occasionally one or two remained on him, and left the hot spring pool with him.
