Chapter 6 Companion (1)
Danica and Phyllis walked in the forest for ten days before walking out of this vast woodland. In addition to having encountered many difficulties in rushing in the primeval forest, they were mainly to take care of Danica, whose weak body was now not suitable for too vigorous exercise.
It’s easy to get out of the woodland. Although it’s still a long way from Haka Town, you can rent a carriage.
Danica and Philis were on a large carriage specializing in short-distance passenger transport business. Four maroon mountain pony dragged this carriage with a foot of ten people. The mountain pony is not fast, but it is very endurance and weight-bearing, and it is not very delicate. You can support anything by eating a little. These excellent characteristics make mountain pony the best choice for freight passenger transport.
Seven people sat in the simple and strange carriage, besides Danica and Phyllis, there was also a small businessman in his forties, dressed in a capable and frugal manner, who looked like a traveler, two decent young men, and finally a mysterious woman in a wide robe and a hood.
The two young people should have also been out for a trip, and they were obviously released, and they were still in the fresh curiosity stage. They have not tasted the difficulty of surviving outside after losing their family protection. At this time, they were chatting and laughing happily, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the journey, namely the two beauties Danica and Phyllis.
The two young people born in a wealthy family are not short of beauties, and the family is not stingy. Instead, they hope that those who may inherit the entire family industry in the future will experience more chaos when they are young, so that they will not lose their innocence and judgment for the so-called "love". But unlike the girl who is sitting in the same carriage, she has a special temperament. They have only seen this temperament at the coming-of-age ceremony of the city lord's daughter. And if you really want to compare it, the temperament of the girl in front of you is more pure and natural.
The two guys dodged and kept observing Phyllis.
Although I have been used to being a person who is highly regarded since I was a child, this disgusting look still makes Phyllis feel a little angry.
It is not worth getting angry about such a person. Phyllis suppressed her temper and turned her head to listen to Danica's chat with the middle-aged businessman, talking about the customs and customs of the town of Haka.
The transportation in Haka town is not convenient, but the location is very good. It is located at the junction of the Principality of Raqqa and the Principality of Xilin, and is close to the Pine Needle Forest. The most important thing is that there is also a gathering place for elves called Pine Needle Village in the Pine Needle Forest.
Because of the fierce war ten thousand years ago, the relationship between the human race and the elves was once very tense. Now it has slowly eased. After all, five thousand years have passed since the war. At the speed of the human race, most ordinary people can only read the records of the fierce war from the old papers, and they will not have any personal experience. However, it is completely different for the elves with long lifespans. The evil and cruelty of the war are still passed down by word of mouth and are vividly imprinted in the minds of all elves. Perhaps it is because of fear, perhaps it is because of disgust, perhaps it is because of nature. The elves living in the forest do not like to go to the outside world, and they prefer to stay in the familiar woodlands and enjoy a stable and peaceful life.
The Pine Needle Forest is regarded as the territory of the elves. Large-scale development will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the elves. However, the wood, herbs and animal skins produced by the pine Needle Forest are very valuable. In addition, the elves actually like pearls in the South China Sea, jewelry from the Karon Kingdom, spices from the Yinka Kingdom, etc., which are rare productions around the world, so trading becomes the best choice. The Haka Town, close to the Pine Needle Forest, has become the trading port for the human and elves in this area.
"Anyway, it's quite prosperous." The little businessman finally summarized it with one sentence.
"You can buy a lot of things there, right? For example, herbal medicines." Danica asked. The pain medicine she collected and prepared by her herbs was too harmful to the body. She hoped to buy some medicinal materials that had been processed to prepare some pain medicines with less side effects.
"Of course, it's right next to the pine needle forest." The little businessman smiled and said, "Okay, we're almost here. You can see what it is like here and you won't disappoint you."
Almost arrived? Seeing Philis ignored them, the two young men who were already a little anxious became a little anxious. The two guys whispered to each other for a long time. One of the young men who looked younger stood up, a frivolous smile appeared on their faces, and said, "Hello, this lady, I am Gorge Callum, I am very happy to see you."
Phyllis didn't even look back and said one word directly: "Get out." She has never been a person with a good temper, and it was already considered restrained if she didn't take action just now.
Phyllis's impoliteness made the atmosphere very awkward. Ge Gao was not right to stand there and talk, nor did he sit back. Moreover, because he was spoiled since childhood, his face was already a little angry.
It happened that at this moment, the carriage crushed a small pit, and the whole carriage bumped violently. I don’t know whether it was accidentally or intentional, but Ge Gao was unstable and fell towards Phyllis, and he was about to pounce on her.
This completely ignited the anger and disgust that Philis had just suppressed. She stretched out her index finger with her right hand, and her fingertips were filled with a bright and dazzling white lightning ball, and pointed to the tall heart.
Fortunately, his companion sitting behind Ge Gao reacted in time and pulled him by his collar, causing Phyllis' finger to not really touch it up, but it also made Ge Gao turn to the ground and twitch.
At this time, the carriage stopped and the coachman shouted: "It's here."
Ge Gao slowly woke up and stood up by his companions. He looked at Phyllis with resentment, but when Phyllis turned his head, he hurriedly avoided and did not dare to look at her. After all, it felt bad that his body had just been over the electricity.
Seeing Gegao's shrunk expression, Phyllis smiled contemptuously. Although Gegao also realized that this girl with a special temperament despised him, the impression that he had just given him was too deep, so he could only lower his head and pretend that he didn't see it.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit cold. The little merchant got off the car first, a magician and a noble boy. Their conflicts at this level are not qualified to participate as a small merchant. It is better to avoid such troubles from afar.
At this time, the mysterious woman who had been hiding her face in the wide hood along the way stretched, as if she had just woken up, and stood up. However, the hood accidentally slipped off, revealing a charming face, which made Ge Gao, who still felt pain in his heart, stunned, and his heart began to pound again.
But soon, the mysterious woman brought her hood back on and got out of the car in a panic, as if she was afraid of the fight between the two of them.
What a cute girl, much better than the guy who likes to play with lightning. Seeing the mysterious woman get off the car, Ge Gao and his companions also got off the car quickly.
Danica and Phyllis got off the car at last.
The carriage stops at a short distance from Haka Town. The coachman does this to save money. There is a level not far ahead. If you pass by, you have to pay taxes. Each person has to pay ten copper coins, but if you pass by, you have to pay five silver coins! The coachman works hard to drive the carriage back and forth, but it doesn’t make much money. Danica and Philees have only one silver coins for the carriage. If he really wants to pay the tax at full amount, he will do it in vain. So his carriage is only sent to the town. The last part of the Ruth passengers will go by themselves, which was also what he said before.
It was very tiring to ride a car, especially a simple carriage. After sitting down for so long, Danica felt that the bones in her body were about to fall apart. She stepped on the ground and stretched her lower body. The two girls walked towards Haka Town. When she passed by the checkpoint, Phyllis threw out a silver coin and said, "Don't look for it." Then she walked straight over.
After passing the level, Danica asked in a low voice: "Should we be careful? This is too silly, right?"
Phyllis didn't understand and asked, "What's so silly?"
Danica said, "The wealth is not exposed!" According to the introduction of the little businessman, the security of the town of Haka is not very good. Generally speaking, the places where such forces junctions are often easily a place where three are not caring. Mercenaries, murderers, explorers and others like to come to such places. The two girls who are rich as soon as they came to such a chaotic place would be too ostentatious?
Philis turned his mind to understand what Danica meant. She smiled and said, "Dani, we are magicians, no one dared to provoke magicians. Among the human race, magicians are deemed to be nobles." Philis thought that Danica, who had been living in Yorktown, had not known how big the gap in identity in this society could be. The identity of a magician is the greatest protection for them. As for the magicians being deemed to be nobles, this is actually the rule of the magic empire thousands of years ago. After the collapse of the magic empire, many orders were broken, but this rule was inherited by the entire human society.
Of course, there are also differences between aristocrats. Apart from having a name, which sounds better, the smaller nobles have no practical benefits. Don’t forget how Phyllis deals with the young noble who came to chat with him just now.
Don't dare to provoke? Although Phyllis is full of confidence, Danica is deeply suspicious of this. In her opinion, no one cannot provoke. As long as there is enough interests to drive, there will always be someone who will choose to trample these rules.
Looking at Danica who was still a little worried, Phyllis said carelessly: "Don't believe it. With the support of our magician, showing sufficient financial resources can save us a lot of trouble." As he said that, he looked at the side.
Danica looked down Phyllis' eyes, and a little boy who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old was walking towards them.
The little boy was dressed in a worn-out dress and patched everywhere, but it was quite neat. It was more than one meter away. The little boy stopped, bowed deeply, and said, "Two ladies, is there anything I need to help? My name is Jim. I have grown up here since I was a child and I am very familiar with everything here."
Phyllis glanced at Danica and seemed to be saying, "Look, as long as you show enough financial resources, someone will naturally come to be a guide."
There are often outsiders in places where adventurers like Haka Town. These people come to this place for the first time and are not very familiar with the situation here. If there is a guide, they can save them a lot of trouble, and those local poor people can also make a small amount of money. Of course, if you are lucky enough to meet a young man who knows nothing, you can trick your neck into the corner and plunder the body and make a lot of money. However, that gift from God is not easy to encounter. After all, people who walk outside usually have the most basic vigilance.
Phyllis said: "First of all, we need to find a place to live. Money is not a problem, but I want to live more comfortably." As he said that, Phyllis raised his right hand and a flash of lightning was jumping between his fingers.
Jim glanced at the lightning between Phyllis' fingers, as if he was electrocuted, and quickly avoided it. Professionals, especially professionals with powerful power like magicians, aren't street gangsters like them that can be provoked. Jim lowered his head and said in a more careful tone: "Do you two ladies plan to live for a long time or just a short stay?"
Phyllis estimated the approximate time they would take for this expedition and said, "We probably will be here for more than a month."
After hearing the request from his employer, Jim began to search for the right place in his mind. Soon, he replied: "I know there is an exclusive yard for rent on the east side of the town. The location is relatively remote, but it is very quiet. The rent is one gold coin per month."
