Two days later, the people who went to the mountains to hunt came back. Not seen for a few days, Ryan also missed his father very much. Like everyone else, he greeted his father outside the town. The results of this companion hunt were very good, and Ryan's father returned with full load. Lane helped his father to carry back two dead mountain antelopes and a living jungle dog.
After eating dinner in the evening, Ryan proposed to his parents the test of adulthood.
Ryan's mother was very worried about Ryan, and some did not want Ryan to go. But the usually silent father just thought about it, and he firmly agreed to Ryan's request. Although Ryan's mother was a little bit reluctant, she was always following the arrangement of Ryan's father as a woman in the big things at home.
Ryan was surprised by his father's decision. He thought that even if his father agreed, he would have to wait a few days. Ryan ’s father looked at his son ’s slightly immature face and said with pity:
My mother and I love you very much, but you are a man and will go out sooner or later. Besides, I am very relieved of your teacher Caleb I believe in him and my children. "
Looking at his father's weather-beaten but caring face, Lane could not help leaving tears.
The next day, Ryan and his parents came to Caleb's cabin. Caleb, Dranai, Naimuo and Meifu are already waiting there.
Ryan is usually busy studying martial arts and magic with his teacher, and there are no particularly good friends in town, that is, the Nemo relationship with Caleb is better. Therefore, this trial of Ryan's adulthood ceremony only told Nemo and Meifu.
His father saved his years of savings for Ryan's adulthood test, and his mother packed his luggage for him overnight. Teacher Caleb gave Ryan a dagger, and Teacher Draene gave Ryan a magic storage pocket.
This magic storage pocket is almost an essential thing for an adventurer in his adventure career. His appearance is just a small pocket, as long as he usually wears it on his body. However, after it is opened, it is a large space for storing a large number of items.
Ryan just knew the existence of storage pockets from Caliber and Draene's usual discussions. He was very envious. He didn't expect to own one today. After Mr. Draenei briefly demonstrated the use of storage pockets, Ryan was already able to put his carry-on luggage and daggers given to him by Mr. Caleb very skillfully.
Due to the rush of time, Nemo and Meifu prepared something special. Meifu just stringed the sixteen fangs of the Pig Boar hunted by Nemo overnight and made a pair of bracelets to give to Ryan .
Under everyone's silent gaze, Ryan slowly walked away.
As night fell, the wind blew gently, making people feel a little cool in the warm July. Ryan sat by the campfire, carefully taking out the meat that had just been cooked, blowing it with his mouth, and eating it with a big mouth.
The flesh of the edelweiss was delicious, which made Ryan ate with relish and thought in his mind: "This edelweiss tastes really good, although it is not as delicious as the mother ... Well, it ’s time to hit, only to go out in the morning, how? Just homesick? "Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly and began to figure out his schedule.
Although his father gave Ryan a lot of gold coins, it was not enough to rely on these for the ceremony of adulthood. In addition, Ryan had to find several partners to complete the trial together. There are more places to spend money!
"It seems that we need to register a mercenary first," Lane said in his heart. "Completing the task to earn money can also improve yourself. However, it is less than 4 months away from the competition, and the too cumbersome task may not be able to be done. There are also It ’s the choice of partner. This is the most headache. Where can I find the right one? "
Ryan thought for a long time and felt that he had to do things piece by piece. He set his first goal for himself: to go to the town of Takri to become a mercenary and earn money by completing the tasks of mercenaries. If you have the opportunity to cooperate with others, you might as well try it.
After dinner, Ryan stood up, stretched a long lazy waist, and patted his stomach again. Well, I'm full, so comfortable.
Ryan added a few branches to the campfire, looked at the burning flame, nodded, and estimated that these branches could almost burn until dawn. He walked to the big tree next to him, climbed up quickly, and sat firmly on the forked trunk.
Ryan followed Caleb to enter the Hengduan Mountains many times when he was a child. His father was also an excellent hunter in the town. He already knew these basic knowledge of survival in the wild: a man is sleeping in the forest, if he lights a campfire, It can be more effective in preventing Warcraft, such as wolves and snakes that threaten people are afraid of fire, so they dare not come over. If they can sleep on a clean tree, it is cool and safe. Of course, if you have the opportunity, you must also buy a tent for camping, so that you are not afraid of bad weather.
Thinking of shopping, Ryan couldn't help but take out the storage pocket that teacher Dranai gave him. This thing is really good for myself. Although it looks like a small pocket on the outside, it is just a body, but it is actually a big space inside. This seems to be caused by alchemy and space magic. But Ryan doesn't know much about it himself. Anyway, as long as he knows how to use it, why should he think about things he doesn't understand?
Ryan flipped through his storage pocket and took out the short sword given to him by Mr. Caleb under several pieces of clothing. The dagger is about the same length as its own forearm, and the scabbard is made from the skin of the ordinary takry antelope. Ryan grabbed the sword grip and pulled his short sword out with a slight pressure on his wrist.
The dagger's blade is dark and unreflective under the bright moonlight. It looks very ordinary, which makes Ryan slightly disappointed. He held the dagger lightly in his right hand and stroked the branch toward the branch. Unexpectedly, he cut off a branch with thick arms.
Seeing the effect of the sword test in front of him, Ryan was taken aback. He didn't expect this dagger to look humble, but it was so sharp. So he put some energy in, thrusting the dagger into the trunk, and in Ryan's expectation, the dagger fell into the tree deeply, even without a voice!
Ryan was ecstatic, and teacher Caleb really gave himself a good gift. With this short sword, the close-kick fast break that he is best at is even more threatening.
Ryan hurriedly drew out his short sword and looked closely at the blade, hoping to find out why it was sharp. However, Ryan knows nothing about weapon making. I just heard Draene talked about some simple knowledge about alchemy and adding magic to equipment. I looked through it for a long time and found nothing, but just barely thought it was an additional magic. Due to the existence of magic, this dagger is extremely sharp, and unlike the ordinary weapons, it has the characteristics of metallic luster and reflection. In addition, Ryan only found the two small characters "Shadow Shame" on the sword, which is probably the name of this short sword.
Maybe it was because of the first time to go far, maybe because the sharpness of the shadows made Ryan excited. In short, Ryan just couldn't sleep, tossed all night, and barely slept until the day was about to dawn.
Early the next morning, Ryan woke up early. He wetted the campfire with some embers in the water in the water bladder, then filled the water bladder in the nearby stream with fresh water, ate the remaining pieces of rabbit meat last night, and faced the rising sun towards the tower Rick town walked.
Tariq Town is not very far from Thick Fog Town, just one and a half days away. Less than noon, Lane came to Takri town.
This is Ryan's second visit. The last time was about 3 or 4 years old. At that time, he was too young, and Lane had no impression of the town of Takri. But this is not difficult for Ryan, he learned the method used by the protagonist in the adventure story that Caleb told him, took out 2 copper coins, and let a child playing outside take him to the door of the mercenary guild .
This square building is very old, at least a hundred years old, and a wooden sign hangs at its door. Although it has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, the wooden sign can still be clearly identified. The crossed emblem of the sword and a staff. Lane recalled some of the matters about the mercenary guild that Caleb had talked to himself, opened the door of the mercenary guild, and strode in.
Although for many years in the past, although Caleb did not have an adventurous career in the town of Takri, everything was exactly the same as Caleb ’s process. Ryan became a mercenary guild after spending a gold coin. One member got a magic crystal that symbolizes his identity. With it, Lane can accept missions at any mercenary guild on the mainland of Eslar.
The first thing after Ryan became a mercenary was that he carefully asked about the recently released mercenary missions, and found that most of the missions are errands, like helping someone to find the lost pet, investigating a noble. Mistress, deliver the package to the designated place. These tasks are both troublesome and lucky. Ryan has no interest at all.
After going through all the mercenary missions a few times, Lane finally found a barely acceptable mission: a small village called Anceno village about 1 day away from Takri town was attacked by the winter wolf. , The mercenary mission issuer, the village chief of this small mountain village released a mission to clear the Warcraft Winter Wolf 3 days ago, and the reward is a bonus of five gold coins.
Ryan, who was born in Orion, is relatively experienced in tasks such as removing beasts. Would n’t it be good to hunt it before the victory day? Ryan smiled and didn't participate in this year's hunt. It seems that this time it was made up.
After going through the formalities with the mercenary guild staff, Ryan took over the task. In order to find the village of Anceno, Lane bought a map by the way. The villages and towns around the town of Takri such as Anceno, Thick Fog Town have detailed markings on it, allowing travellers to reach their destination more conveniently .
After taking the task, Ryan decided to go around town and purchase some suitable items.
The Mercenary Guild is on the busiest street in Takri, and the center of the town is just outside the door. There are shops on both sides of the street, and the sound of bargaining and bargaining one after another.
Ryan walked slowly in the crowd, stopped when he saw the sale of Warcraft magic core or fur, and asked for the price. After seeing more than a dozen shops, Ryan found that there was nothing particularly good here. The Warcraft furs sold were far inferior to those produced in his hometown of Fog Town, so he lost the interest to continue shopping, so he decided to stop. , Find a place to eat.
While looking for a suitable hotel, Lane found that there was a hammer hung in a shop not far in front of him. This was the sign of the blacksmith shop. Lane suddenly forgot the reality of his hunger and decided to go and see.
The blacksmith shop is not large, and it looks like a ten steps from one side to the other. There is a stove on the far right of the shop. Next to the stove are various tools for making. Two middle-aged blacksmiths are holding their upper body and waving an iron hammer in front of the stove to create something hard. A young man who seemed to be an apprentice pulled the bellows desperately beside him. Seeing a guest come to the door, one of the middle-aged men put down the hammer and greeted him.
Ryan was very satisfied with the shadow-cut dagger given to him by Caleb, but he usually had no tools for peeling and washing the World of Warcraft. It always seemed too extravagant to use shadow-cut, so Ryan planned to buy a dagger. In addition, this task is to deal with a group of winter wolves. Ryan also intends to buy ten animal traps. It would be best if he could buy bows and arrows.
Ryan talked about his idea with the blacksmith. The middle-aged blacksmith thought about it and said, "I have a dagger in stock here, you can see there are all hanging over there." After finishing his finger, he pointed his finger. Ryan looked in the direction of the middle-aged blacksmith. Sure enough, he saw six or seven unopened daggers in different sizes and styles in a corner of the original furnace.
"But is this the trap for the beast?" The middle-aged blacksmith paused and said, "I don't have any stocks here anymore. A batch of goods was ordered by Dense Fog last month, and I only delivered them ten days ago. After receiving a big deal, there was a place to order fifty pairs. I ’m in a hurry. "
Lane heard the name of Thick Fog Town and was a little kind in his heart. It ’s right to think about it. Is n’t this just the hunt for this month? You have to order a new batch of clips. You just do n’t know how long it will take to complete the new batch, so you ask:
How long can you do it at the earliest? Come out? "
The middle-aged blacksmith figured it out and said: "I have three of us here, and I have to take care of the business in the store. It will take about 5 days to complete this batch of goods. The 10 you ordered will take about 2 days. You You have to wait at least another 7 days. "
"Seven days?" Ryan thought to himself: "It seems that this mission cannot be expected."
"Never mind, I'll pick a dagger," Lane said disappointedly.
"As you please, you can go over there and see if you're done. Just call me. The goods here may not be as exquisite as those in big cities, but they are absolutely easy to use." The middle-aged blacksmith explained a few words and turned to take The hammer continued to strike.
In fact, Ryan did not have any special requirements for the dagger, as long as it was almost enough, so he quickly selected a dagger.
The middle-aged blacksmith looked up at the style chosen by Ryan and went into the house. After a while, he took an identical dagger from the house and gave it to Ryan, saying, "2 silver coins."
Ryan took the dagger and asked strangely, "Why don't you hang out the one that opened the front?"
The middle-aged blacksmith smiled and said, "Hang this kind of outside." He pointed a dagger with his finger and continued to say: "It's useless for others to take it. I always look at the store when I save."
Ryan also smiled: "It turns out that way." He took a closer look at this one in his hand. Indeed, although the workmanship of the small blacksmith shop was a bit rough, it was still quite sharp. It seems that he will set the skin of Warcraft in the future. You can use it when you are.
Ryan took out the silver coins and paid for the dagger, put the dagger into the storage pocket, and asked the blacksmith: "Do you have bows and arrows here?"
The middle-aged blacksmith said, "That's not there. I'm not qualified to make this bow and arrow. This thing will only be sold in a specialized weapon shop, and you have to register it carefully after you buy it, which is too much trouble."
Ryan saw that he had nothing to buy and walked out of the blacksmith's shop.
Ryan came out of the blacksmith's shop. It was already afternoon. He felt the protest in his stomach again. He remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he made up his mind to find a place to have a good meal. .
Although the town of Takri is relatively prosperous, it is not big. After Lane walked through the two streets, he sat at the table of a small hotel. From going out yesterday morning to this afternoon, Ryan ate a snow rabbit, his stomach was already hungry.
Ryan ordered a large plate of roasted tacri beef, and ordered another roast pork pie and a large glass of refreshing juice. Soon, what he wanted was brought up by the innkeeper. He looked at the steaming pork pie and the scented barbecue, unable to resist the movement of his index finger and enjoying his delicious meal with a big mouth.
After enjoying a hearty meal, Ryan burped and felt very comfortable. He called the hotel owner and asked him to prepare a room for himself. Because he wants to get up early tomorrow, for convenience, he bought some hard bread and some roast beef for breakfast tomorrow.
After paying the money, Ryan followed the innkeeper with satisfaction to the room he had booked.
The room is upstairs in the dining area of ​​Lane, not too big, but relatively clean. There was a bed and a table in the room, as well as two less sturdy chairs, sitting and crunching. Ryan felt that the rattling chair was uncomfortable to sit on, and simply lay down on the bed. Soon, he entered a dream.
