Frankly speaking, Leah's way of speaking is simply trying to cover up, and it's okay not to explain, and once explained, it is estimated that no normal mercenary team will dare to take this kind of life-giving - it can be seen that this young magician lady is really not suitable for this kind of thing of fooling people into the thief ship, and it is more in line with her painting style to go straight to the street and scold people on the street.However, today is really Miss Leah's lucky day, not only has she found a team of "mercenaries" who dare to continue to accept her commission, but this mercenary team really doesn't know anything about the so-called "big pit".Hao Ren didn't feel anything wrong with Leah's tone for a while, because he was busy thinking about how to learn more information about this world from this magician lady, so after listening to the other party's task description absentmindedly, he nodded perfunctorily: "Ah, it doesn't matter, it's inevitable to take a little risk......"
Leah was still worried that the wave of people in front of him would turn around and leave when they heard the three words of the big tunnel, but they didn't expect Hao Ren to react like this, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Ah?
You're ......
Promised?
”Hao Ren came back to his senses from thinking at this time, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Eh, is there a problem?"
”"We're going to the vicinity of the big tunnel......
Are you really sure about the risk?
”Reason told Leah that it was best not to stress too much about the big pit and the risks at this time, but as a good girl with a good nature, she really couldn't help but want to say a few more words, "Of course, we won't really enter the big pit tunnel, but there is also a possibility of encountering ancient wanderers or shadow erosion in the vicinity, ahem......
Of course, I'm glad you're willing to accept the commission. ”At this point, Vivien opened her mouth to continue the conversation: "Of course, of course we understand the risks, but we are confident in our own strength - besides, as you promised, we won't enter that 'big tunnel', will we?"
”"Of course!
Leah, a university scholar, never lies!
”Miss Magician puffed out her chest, "Besides, I still need to die, how can I get into that place." ”Hao Ren secretly gave Vivien a praising look, and the latter returned a small roll of his eyes, meaning that he should not be distracted at this critical time.After this little episode, Hao Ren also cheered up and asked like a professional mercenary, "When are we going to leave?"
”"If you don't need to be prepared, then it's best to leave before noon tomorrow, of course, you can postpone it until the day after tomorrow, but the sooner the better," Leah looked very interested in the ruins, "Although the ruins don't run away with long legs, the magical items inside are declining every day, and many important archaeological materials are lost to scholars because of the delay in excavation." ”"Then we'll leave tomorrow," Nangong Sanba nodded, "but only if you can prepare supplies for the entire team during the exploration period - we are new to this place, and it is still difficult to prepare these things ourselves." ”"Of course, this is also the rule of this industry," Leah laughed, looking in a good mood, "Then a few of you will rest in this mage tower tonight, and after going out, go up the spiral staircase to the second floor is the guest room, the room is enough and there are usually puppets to clean up, you can live at any time, a few people can go to their own way, and there will be puppets sent to your room after dinner."
The only requirement is to prohibit entry into the third floor and above and the basement - my laboratory, the defense center of the magic tower, and the energy well are all in these places, and I don't care if I get into it and kill anyone. ”Of course, Hao Ren had no objections, and casually agreed.After that, Leah said that she would go back to study ancient classics and magic issues, and let Hao Ren and his party move around the first and second floors at will, and before the two sides said goodbye, Hao Ren pretended to make a small request casually: "By the way, if you can—can you borrow a few books to read?"
”"Reading a book?"
Leah was a little surprised, "What book to read?"
”"Customs, historical classics, it would be better if there was information about the ruins we need to explore this time," Hao Ren said with a smile, trying to make himself look like a diligent and studious person, "It's still early to go to bed, and I'm used to reading books at night to pass the time." ”"Wow, that's a rare hobby among mercenaries," Leah exclaimed, then laughed, "but it's not hard to imagine that half of your small team is a legal profession.Of course, no problem, although I can't lend you my magic books, but there are a lot of books in this tower, and there is a study room in the innermost part of the second floor, where you can read the books, just remember to put them back in place after reading. ”After thanking the young magician again, Hao Ren and his party said goodnight to Leah, and then went to the second floor to find the room where they would rest tonight according to the other party's instructions."
The plan really can't catch up with the changes, how can I become a mercenary in a daze, and I also took a commission to accompany the young female magician to explore the underground ruins," Nangong Sanba sighed a little crying and laughing, "The plan before we set off was obviously to find the Goddess of Creation......"
Lily pursed her lips, and her tail wagged behind her: "It's not unusual, when did the landlord do things according to the plan, he first went to the goddess to apply for a job or to be an office clerk, You see where it's all gone now. ”Hao Ren glanced at her: "......
You look in a good mood, huh?
”"Yes, yes!
Become a mercenary, explore ruins, earn money, and dig for treasures!
”At the mention of this, Lily's eyes lit up, "I love this tone!"
I used to write novels about this subject a lot, but I didn't have enough of it when I signed up for a mercenary group in Halletta before!
”"I can't expect you to think about something serious," Vivien clutched her head with a headache, "You go back to the house by yourself, and Hao Ren and I will go to that study to find information, and try to make up for the basic knowledge of this world tonight."
Who else are you coming?
”"I'll go, I'll go!
I'm not going back to the house," Lily squeezed in, "I like to read!"
”Elizabeth, the little devil, flattened her mouth: "I want to go back to the house, I don't want to read......
Wow!
”As soon as she turned her head and walked two steps, she was grabbed back by her father's neck, and Izax was carrying her daughter to the study while chattering: "Children should read more books, and it is better to learn more things than anything else while they have a bright brain, don't think about ......playing all day long" Finally, everyone arrived at the study, and even rolled over: the cat girl was not interested in reading, she was just afraid that everyone would find a place to secretly have dinner without her......
In any case, being a mage requires a great deal of knowledge and a strong thirst for knowledge, so no even the most down-and-out mage will skimp on collecting books, even for the down-and-out Leah and her unreliable teachers.There is a large collection of books in this dilapidated mage tower, which may be a little shabby compared to those wealthy mages with transcendent status, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the classics arranged on the walls in the library rooms can still be described as "a mountain of books".The study on the second floor is just one of many in the tower, which is full of popular books such as customs and heroic biographies, and not a single precious book on the mysteries of magic.This semi-circular library is not very spacious, but it is more than enough to accommodate Hao Ren and his party to flip through the classics in it.Upon entering the library, Hao Ren first saw four bookshelves reaching up to the roof arranged along the walls in the room, in front of which were wooden ladders that could move freely along the chute, and between the bookshelves were three wide floor-to-ceiling windows, outside which the night was getting darker.It seems that the builders of this mage tower did not like to build their dwellings into a depressing and cramped appearance, as some of the gloomy and old-fashioned classical mages did, and the wide floor-to-ceiling windows are enough to make visitors feel refreshed.Hao Ren looked around and began to assign tasks: "Let's collect information separately, Lily and Roll are in charge of the first shelf, the Nangong brothers and sisters, you are the second shelf, Lao Wang and Elizabeth, you are the third, and Vivian and I are looking for the fourth."
As long as you can understand the worldview, you can take a look, and you can scan the data terminal, and give priority to searching for information about the keyword 'big tunnel' - whether it is historical facts or legends. ”"I have a question," Lily said, holding up her hand, "why did you share me with the roll—she obviously couldn't help!"
”"Is there a problem with balancing the progress of the group with the highest education and the group with the lowest education?"
“…… It seems to make sense. ”Assigned everyone what they had to do, everyone began to work separately between the bookshelves, aided by translation plug-ins and information processing links, and their cursory skimming through the materials was almost like laser scanning, and the true face of the world was gradually revealed before them.Hao Ren flipped through the book "Frost Wolf - A Brief History of the Ten Kingdoms of the Northland" in his hand, and approached Vivian: "How is the situation of the little weak chicken?"
”Vivien raised her left hand, concentrating for a moment, and a cloud of smoke wriggled in her hand and took the shape of a small chicken.The little guy seemed a little overwhelmed when she was suddenly summoned, she stared at Hao Ren for two seconds, and there was no emotion in her blood-red cloudy eyes, but she expressed her vigilance and resistance with her actions: "Scared-biubiubiu!"
”Hao Ren said while casually blocking those shadow arrows that were not much stronger than the water: "If you biu again, I will send you to Raven 12345 to eat noodles every day!"
”"Wow!!""
But if you are obedient, you can stay with us, and you will have meat to eat every day."
The little thing thought hard and nodded vigorously."
Look, you're still quite obedient," Hao Ren looked at Vivien with a smug expression, "So, now you can control this little thing freely?"
Like your little bat?
”"How can it be so convenient," Vivien sighed, "I just tried, and I could only summon her out or forcibly withdraw her from her body, and she didn't listen to me at all, which is far worse than a little bat." ”Hao Ren thought for a while: "That also has an advantage, at least it is easy to carry." ”On this point, Vivien strongly agreed.
