Regarding the "Sorrow of the Dead", it seems that humans have more information, but it is also possible that the level of goblins and ogres among monsters is too low, which leads to Lu Xidong's ignorance of this matter.
After Carter and others finished their meal, they came to the meeting hall in the center of Iserlohn Town and continued the unfinished conversation.
Human adventurers need food and supplies so that they can continue their mission. This makes Carter, the captain, very embarrassed. He is a very upright young man with a strong body but not so many twists and turns in his stomach. At this moment, he is anxiously Rubbing his hands together, he looked hesitant.
"Unfortunately, we can't provide any more help. You can return along the way you came. I can guarantee that the monsters along the way will not actively attack you again. We will also send a team of people to escort you."
Lu Xidong was telling the truth. Even when the goblins were at their weakest, such low-level monsters could maintain a certain territory of their own. Now it is a piece of cake to send human adventurers out of the Forbidden Forest.
However, the depths of the jungle are the forbidden land for goblins. If low-level monsters rush to the core of the Forbidden Forest, they will not only be attacked by the monster races along the way, but also encounter unknown dangers. Therefore, in fact, the monsters in the Forbidden Forest There is a certain pattern to the arrangement.
The outer circle is the weakest, and the monsters in the inner circle are stronger. The stronger the monsters, the slower they proliferate, and the competition within the race becomes more fierce. Therefore, for a long time, there have been few cases of strong races invading weak monsters. occur.
Of course, the ogres and the others were accidents outside of cognition and were a special case.
Lu Xidong didn't want to be involved in unknown events for no reason. He was not ready yet.
"No, we can't turn back. The guild leader gave a death order and we must get to the Black Tree Jigas Cedar within fifteen days." Carter was very determined and declined Lu Xidong's kindness with a solemn expression.
Black Tree Gigas Cedar
Lu Xidong also knew that place. After all, the tree was too tall, far higher than all the nearby plants.
Gigas Cedar, a landmark plant in the western part of the Forbidden Forest, has a trunk diameter of four meters, and a black tree with a length of 70 meters from the root to the top branch. Since the birth of the Calradia continent, it has been planted The tree of longevity rooted here.
"Hey, Captain, you are stupid. No matter what, you shouldn't tell a demon this."
"Really, it's the same as when I fought against the horned python before."
"Please, stop saying stupid things."
Carter revealed the incredible information smoothly and was protested by the team members, but he was not angry at all because of the team members' outrageous words. Instead, his entire face immediately turned red and he became panicked.
This is not the material to be a leader. This was the first thought that came to Lu Xidong's mind. He spoke eloquently and his emotions were too exposed. Moreover, he did not have the majesty and courage to control his subordinates. No wonder more than ten people were cornered. The python drives away.
In comparison, the old magician uncle of the previous team of adventurers was much calmer and more capable. I am afraid that Carter is the captain just because his strength has reached the Jade Level, which is higher than other Bronze Level teammates.
As for other people's rudeness, Lu Xidong laughed it off. The two parties were originally negotiating, and humans had no obligation to disclose information to themselves.
Just seeing everyone's excitement made Lu Xidong's curiosity even more intense.
What is the use of such a team of adventurers even if they reach Gigas Cedar? Are the humans in this world so weak that they have to use this half-baked skill
Because of this, it seems that something serious happened in the core area of the Forbidden Forest.
"We just need some food and necessary combat props, please lend a helping hand..." Carter eased the embarrassment and continued to plead, and took out a few silver coins from his pocket, "... we can pay the cost."
Not sure whether the monsters needed money, Carter hesitantly handed the silver coins to Lu Xidong. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else on his side that could impress this strange monster.
Currency may play a big role in human and demihuman cities, but for Lu Xidong, who is currently self-sufficient and has no additional needs, it is really not necessary.
"This is not a matter of money. I treat you all as friends. It's very dangerous in the Forbidden Forest. I can't just watch you go and die." Compared with money, intelligence is a more valuable thing. Xidong said beautiful words that he didn't even believe, and tried to find out something by making some insinuations.
"... We will pay attention to safety, but there is indeed a reason why we have to go. Please help prepare supplies." Rough guys like Carter have become wary, and it seems that it will be difficult to get any useful information.
Lu Xidong secretly thought that even if he didn't agree to help, the other party didn't seem to give up, so he might as well be a favor.
"How much money do you have in total?"
Carter's team subconsciously dug into their pockets and took out everything in their pockets. Even when being chased by a horned python, everyone still held their wallets tightly.
So, in the end, fifteen gold coins, thirty-eight silver coins and hundreds of copper coins were collected. This was the entire property of the adventurer team.
"Well, although the money is a little small, for the sake of friendship, I will prepare supplies for everyone."
Carter and others looked at each other in shock. You must know that the money has been used to buy seven or eight carts of food in big towns. The demon in front of them actually said that the amount was not enough, and they wanted to use friendship to make up for it. Maybe they didn't understand what it meant to rip off customers, but it sounded like they were not only After paying the money, I still owe this demon a debt of gratitude.
When they saw the supplies prepared by the monsters, they were stunned for a long time - a group of tame horned sheep and a cauldron made of the shell of a Smirn tortoise.
This was not Lu Xidong's intention to ridicule human adventurers. Most of the woods in the Forbidden Forest were extremely humid, making it impossible to make storable foods such as dried meat and bacon. Plant fruits were too perishable, so the dwarf and brother The Blins really can't make easy-to-carry rations like steamed buns.
"This is salt and seasonings for cooking, but do you have anyone who knows how to cook?" Lu Xidong handed Carter a small bag made of coarse cloth, which contained seasonings for cooking.
Adventurers should usually be honing their martial arts skills and forming teams to fight monsters, right? Lu Xidong doubted these people's ability to take care of themselves and whether they could cook.
"I can."
Yundi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this softly without turning her head towards Lu Xidong.
It turns out that the female magician who plays with fire can also cook. Lu Xidong recalled how they got along before. Goblin's place was too simple and there were no cooking utensils at all. No wonder they didn't cook for him.
During this reunion, Yundi always hid behind people, far away from Lu Xidong, as if she was avoiding him.
That's right, Lu Xidong thought to himself, it was just a chance encounter, and getting close to a demon like him would not be conducive to the other person's life in human society.
Watching the team of adventurers headed by Chief Knight Carter leaving, Lu Xidong had random thoughts, most of which were related to Yundi.
With how lame this team is, could the silly female magician be in danger
