All night, Chu Xingkong drank Xiaoyue Lake, and the two of them chatted happily, through that wonderful feeling, Chu Xingkong knew that what Xiaoyue Lake said was true, if it was fake, then Xiaoyue Lake's acting level was too high, and he could even deceive him himself, making himself think that it was true, if this was the case, then this person would be really terrible.
However, out of the intuition of a martial artist, Chu Xingkong felt that Xiaoyue Lake should not harm him.
Chu Xingkong and Xiaoyuehu had only arrived at Ban Keli after riding horses all night, and there was still most of the way to go, at this speed, they would only have two days at most to search for ore, and whether they could find it or not, they would have to rush back.
At this moment, Xiaoyue Lake was already asleep on Chu Xingkong's back, after all, his body was just the state of an ordinary person, and it couldn't be compared with a martial arts powerhouse like Chu Xingkong, Chu Xingkong was not tired, but how could he not be tired?
Chu Xingkong did not slow down because Xiaoyue Lake fell asleep, he was still moving forward at full speed, the horse under his crotch was already tired and out of breath, that is, this horse had the blood of a Mongolian horse, if it was a pure-blooded European horse, he would have died of exhaustion.
The next afternoon, the two arrived at Alford, and at this moment the horse they were riding was tired, so they had to make a slight adjustment in Alford, buy another horse and go on the road.
Chu Xingkong and Xiaoyuehu came to the horse market, preparing to find a good horse with excellent speed and endurance, but it backfired, the two of them walked through several horse shops for almost an hour, and they couldn't even buy a decent horse, let alone a good horse.
The two of them were bored walking down the street when a lewd-looking guy stopped the two of them.
"The two of you are objective, I see that the two of you have been looking for a long time here, presumably you haven't bought the good horse you like, you come to me to see, make sure there is the kind you want to buy."
Instead of nodding his head like an ordinary businessman, this obscene-looking guy was generous and said confidently.
"Okay, then don't be shoddy."
Before Chu Xingkong could speak, Xiaoyue Lake rushed to answer Chu Xingkong looked at Xiaoyue Lake strangely, he knew that this was a signal from Xiaoyue Lake to him telling him that there were indeed good horses here, this was what the two of them said before, if there is a good horse, Xiaoyue Lake will be on it, if there is no Chu Xingkong.
"Where, where, how can I do such a thing?
We all pay attention to credit in business, don't we?
The merchant said.
After that, he took Chu Xingkong and the others to his stable, not to mention that he really has a lot of good horses here, even Chu Xingkong, a half-layman level, can see that those horses are tall and strong, with well-proportioned and strong muscles all over the body, at least in appearance, they are the kind of good horses.
"Hehe, objectively you see that these are all good horses, which one do you like?"
The merchant was now more confident, and with his many years of experience in business, it seemed that the two men must have fallen in love with their horses.
Xiaoyuehu walked to the herd of horses and moved out of the herd, and said, "Just this one, what do you think the price is?"
” "At least 150 livres."
The shopkeeper said, "It's a slot, it's a French businessman, I said why is it so obscene."
Chu Xingkong complained in his heart, in fact, this Frenchman is not obscene, but Chu Xingkong is used to seeing the tall and rough Scottish, and suddenly he can't adapt to seeing a different nature.
"No, it's too much, I'll pay you a maximum of 100 livres, no more, a good military horse is just this price, you don't have to say more, this is the highest price I can give."
Xiaoyuehu replied calmly.
But it was this calm and simple answer that made this boss feel painful, originally he thought he had found two little fat sheep, but he didn't expect it to be two big-tailed wolves wearing little fat sheep sheepskin, Xiaoyue Lake's bite is equivalent to biting off a piece of his meat, although the price given by Xiaoyue Lake is much lower than his price, but it is much higher than his psychological price bottom line, so he hesitates.
In the end, this guy took the 100 livres with a painful face, and handed the reins of the horse to Chu Xingkong and the others.
Looking at this businessman's expression, Chu Xingkong felt for the first time that it was a good choice to bring Xiaoyue Lake out, and she even felt that in the future, as long as she went out to buy something, she would have to bring this guy, it was simply a bargaining demon king, although the language was not sharp, but it couldn't stop people from guessing the bottom line of the price in your heart, and knowing yourself and knowing that you would win a hundred battles was probably like this.
Knowing that it was night, the two left the town.
As soon as he left the town, Xiaoyue Lake said in Chu Xingkong's ear: "Be careful, there are people with the same destination as us."
Eighty percent of them are not good. ” Chu Xingkong nodded silently, and then whipped the horse's butt hard, and rode away.
At dawn the next day, Chu Xingkong and Xiaoyue Lake finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Huntley Town, after a long journey of one day and two nights.
As soon as he reached the border of the town, Xiaoyue Lake said: "I can feel that the air here is filled with a strong fire element, and the temper of the people who have lived here for a long time is definitely not very good, so we better keep a low profile, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ” "Okay, let's go into the town, the old blacksmith said that there may be traces of the fire dragon living here, so I believe there will be some legends in the town or something, let's go and find out first."
After Chu Xingkong finished speaking, the two led the horse into the town.
It's a typical Scottish town, with low-rise houses but a small footprint.
Chu Xingkong and Xiaoyue Lake came to the only tavern in the town, and the tavern was naturally the best place to find out about these things.
As soon as Chu Xingkong entered the bar, he went straight to the bar, he completely ignored the beauty of the hotel proprietress and directly took out the money and asked, "Do you know the legend about the dragon?"
Tell me if you know, and that's all yours. ” The proprietress was originally dissatisfied with Chu Xingkong's disregard for her beauty, but as soon as she saw the money in Chu Xingkong's empty hand, she immediately forgot about any unpleasantness, and said: "Look at what you said, I have lived here since I was a child, I don't know how many legends about dragons I have heard, what kind of dragon are you asking?"
” "Lying in a groove, how many are you?"
Chu Xingkong thought to himself, but he didn't say slowly: "It's the kind of fire dragon, the legend about the place where the fire dragon lives." ” "Oh, what kind of people do you mean, that's the story left down from my grandmother's grandmother, legend has it that somewhere between our town and the town of Keith, there lived this evil fire dragon, and then came a powerful dragon slayer, it is said that his name is Nine, he is a powerful magician, and even created countless of himself to fight the dragon, and finally he succeeded in killing the evil dragon and protecting our village, he is my grandmother's grandmother's dream lover!"
The proprietress said quite seriously.
"Also, it is said that this fire dragon offended the gods, and was killed by the gods on the northwest slope of the town, and it is said that the blood stained the earth red!"
This time the proprietress said with some half-jokingness.
After solving it, the proprietress told Chu Xingkong a lot of legends, although each version of the story is different, the dragon and the dragon slayer are also good and bad, and even some legends have a dragon that lays an egg, but the core content has not changed: the dragon was killed by a dragon slayer, and the place where it died is basically between Huntley Town and Keith Town.
Chu Xingkong, who wanted the news, strode towards the door, and Chu Xingkong, who was in a hurry, didn't hear the last muttering sentence from the boss's mouth: "It's really strange, why are so many people with generous hands asking such boring questions today."
I believe that if he had heard it earlier, he would have been shocked.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that Xiaoyuehu was already waiting for him outside the door, and when he entered the tavern just now, Xiaoyuehu said that he had found something interesting, so he walked into a dark corner of the tavern alone.
Now that his expression was relaxed, he must have gotten what he wanted.
After that, Chu Xingkong asked with interest, "What did you find?"
” "Oh, I found an interesting old man with a secret in his heart, and I got some news from him, and I just speculated.
What about you?
Xiaoyuehu asked rhetorically.
"Me, I went and asked where it might be."
Chu Xingkong told Xiaoyue Lake the news of his arrival.
"Oh, yes, the old-fashioned story of a mysterious dragon slayer who killed a dragon.
But since all the incidents are in that area, let's go and see.
Xiaoyuehu suggested.
"Well, let's go."
After saying that, Chu Xing flipped and got on his horse, and took Xiaoyue Lake and the two of them all the way to the vicinity of the burial dragon slope, the closer they got here, the more dense Xiaoyue Lake found that the fire element was more dense, and finally the fire element was even dense to the point that it could affect people's minds.
"There's probably something we need here."
The fire element is so dense that it is either because there is something fire-based or because there was once a powerful magician who released high-level fire-based magic here, but in the end it was unsuccessful and the fire element could not escape.
But apparently the probability of the latter is slightly lower.
The two of them had just dismounted, and that horse had cost them a fortune;
