"I told them that we were a passing adventure party and needed to spend the night here, hoping that they could provide some food and water."
Gu Xiaoyue and Xiao Lin whispered.
"How did she answer?"
Gu Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought for a while: "Some words are not very clear, but the general meaning is that this is not a simple supply station, it seems that it is specially set up for the nearby garrisons, and various supplies are provided on a regular basis." ” Xiao Lin's heart tightened, and he lowered his voice even lower: "Could it be that they are all soldiers of the Thunder Kingdom?"
” "Not really, they seem to be merchants."
Gu Xiaoyue pushed her glasses, and there was some confusion in her eyes: "I'm also very surprised that the army stationed on the border of a country actually asks merchants to provide supplies, and it seems that they are not lying." ” Xiao Lin looked up at a few people, and behind the woman, there was a whole group of men and women, who were also half curious and half alert looking at this side, their clothes were different, but they didn't look like the style of the army.
Of course, he wasn't sure if the armies of Norma World had the habit of uniform clothing.
At the end of the day, they still have too little information, but it's too late to complain about not learning history lessons well.
Xiao Lin asked, "Let's just assume that they are merchants, are they willing to provide food and water?"
” Gu Xiao ≧, Yue's face was slightly strange: "They say that they are businessmen and only accept transactions." ” Xiao Lin was immediately dumbfounded, of course he understood the meaning of the transaction, but the question was what they were trading, he didn't think that the RMB could be circulated in the Norma world.
Gu Xiaoyue added: "The currency in circulation of the human countries of the Norma world is mainly precious metals, and it can also be bartered. ” "Fuck it!
Grab it directly!
Lu Renyi had an expression of wanting to kill people and sell goods.
Xiao Lin shook his head, not to mention that the other party has more people than them, and their strength is unknown, they have traveled a long way for a day, and there are still wounded in the team, it is really difficult to say whether they will win or lose, not to mention that this mission does not say that they must fight with these merchants, and it is better to avoid the casualties as much as possible.
Probably seeing their embarrassment, the Norma woman pointed at Lu Renyi, and muttered again.
Lu Renyi was startled, shrunk his neck, looked at Gu Xiaoyue very nervously and said, "She, what is she talking about?"
Do you want me to pay for it?
She's so ugly!
” Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, a little understanding what this woman meant, and sure enough, Gu Xiaoyue carefully distinguished the grammar, and then hesitated to translate: "She, it seems to be saying, something can be exchanged for something, I don't understand that word." ” "It's an iguana's blade."
Xiao Lin didn't understand it either, but in addition to his body, the only thing that could be exchanged on Lu Renyi's body was the blade that had just been removed from the carcass of the iguana.
"No!
It's mine!
Lu Renyi was very unwilling.
Xiao Lin snatched two ink-black blades from his arms and said, "Okay, can you bring the things here back to the academy!"
” The Norma woman took the blade, a happy look appeared on her face, and she said a bunch of words, then turned back, Gu Xiaoyue said softly: "She agreed, and asked us to wait for a while, and they will give us a part of the water and food." ” Xiao Lin exhaled slightly, no matter what, avoiding the battle was a good result, and everyone showed relaxed expressions when they thought of food and water.
"Let's bring in a few wounded first."
Xiao Lin commanded, just now because he was worried that there might be a conflict, several injured people did not let them enter the cave.
There are not many problems with the injured people of the iguana, only the girl who accidentally ate the wild fruit is still weak, the wild fruit is not fatal, but it can last for a long time, after entering the cave, she lay against the cold rock wall, licked her dry lips, and said with a look of surprise: "I'm really sorry, I've bothered you." ” "It's okay, you're too thirsty.
Don't worry, there will be water later. ” A few minutes later, several men came over with a few jars of water and bowls, as well as a few strips of air-dried meat, and quickly left after placing them on the ground.
The cool water is like elixir jade dew at this moment, everyone's eyes are shining, and they rush forward like crazy, scrambling to drink, the bowl sent by the other party is very limited, and those who did not grab the bowl simply buried their whole heads in the jug and drank it in a big gulp.
"Holy!
You're not disgusting!
A woman screamed in disgust, but after a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but learn in a good way.
Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly, he always controlled the water along the way, although he was also thirsty, but there was still a trace of water in the kettle, he was not in a hurry to grab it with everyone, he took a piece of jerky and sat next to him, looked at Gu Xiaoyue, who also did not grab water, tore the jerky in half, handed it over, and said, "Eat some, I saw that you didn't touch the biscuits in the bag at all along the way." ” Gu Xiaoyue took the jerky, took a small bite, chewed it for a long time and swallowed it, and said in a low voice: "If we can't find a supply station, biscuits are our last food reserve, so we naturally have to save." ” Xiao Lin smiled, and also took a bite of the jerky, I don't know what kind of meat it is, the meat is very dry, the taste is also very bad, there is a feeling of rotten meat, after swallowing it in his stomach, he almost wanted to vomit it on the spot, glanced at the girl with a calm face, and he forcibly held back the feeling of vomiting.
Although this meat is difficult to eat, it is quite full, after eating a few bites, Xiao Lin felt that his lower abdomen was slightly swollen, and after looking at the remaining jerky, he estimated in his heart that if it was well distributed, the 20 of them would be able to last for two days.
While thinking about how to ask for more food, Xiao Lin raised his head and drank the last water in the kettle, and then got up to fill the kettle, but saw Lu Renyi, who was taking meat, suddenly "ah", and fell straight down in front of him, rubbing his stomach in pain, and the others also fell down.
Xiao Lin was shocked in his heart, and in the afterglow of his eyes, several figures were rushing towards this side, and he had already realized something, and he almost subconsciously raised his new magic staff with his left hand, and released two ice bullet techniques in a row.
The light in the cave was very dim, and Xiao Lin didn't have time to use his spiritual power to slowly lock on to the enemy, but fortunately, the other party was numerous, and they were leaning against each other, and two crystal ice bullets flew over through two crooked arcs, and two screams and crisp bursts in a row showed that his two spells did not fail.
Gu Xiaoyue's alertness is also very high, after the ice bomb technique, she also followed with three energy bombs in a row, she aimed at the opposite crowd, in the explosions one after another, the three people who were directly hit became meat on the spot, and the people next to them were also affected by the blast wave, although they did not die, they also fell down screaming, and were injured to varying degrees.
The sudden battle made many people stunned on the spot, Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue's quick counterattack was of course unable to completely block these Norma people on the opposite side, but the spell attack of the two seemed to be beyond their expectations, the sneak attack had been broken, and the people who were not injured on the opposite side had already gotten up, each holding a weapon and lined up to confront each other, but they looked a little jealous of Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue, and they didn't dare to go up easily for a while.
