chapter eight
Not far away on both sides, you can occasionally see farmers in shabby clothes. When they saw Ryan, they had no excited expressions on their faces. When several people passed by on horseback, these people just lowered their heads and said compliments with numb expressions.
After passing through the fields with few crops, until not far from the forest, Moses, who was at the front, gently pulled the reins and stopped. Sitting on the horse, he turned around and said to Ryan: "Dear Lord, we are approaching the edge of the forest.
Do you need to return?"
The four accompanying guards stopped at the same time. They were all the stronger members of the escort team.
Ryan looked at the dense forest not far ahead, shook his head slightly and said, "Wait a while, I want to go into the forest and have a look."
After drawing the Tian Mian Bird, the novice gift bag he opened also contained tomatoes and seeds.
The Krypton Gold Store has everything, as long as you are willing to pay.
But if you can collect the seeds or fruits of any plant by yourself first, the corresponding item in the store can be purchased at a discount. If you want to buy better varieties, the price can also be reduced a lot.
Ryan opened tomatoes in the gift package, and he could buy tomato fruits and seeds at a discount in the Krypton Gold Store, and they were also improved high-quality varieties.
As for higher-quality tomatoes, he has to wait for him to cultivate them himself or buy seeds and fruits directly, and he can also buy them at low prices later.
There are also tomatoes in this world. Tomatoes are also called beautiful fruits here. Unfortunately, due to their small size and green-red coat, they are regarded as a poisonous and beautiful ornamental plant. Only a few nobles will plant them in their own gardens.
Most people basically have no idea what tomatoes are.
Ryan wants to go into the forest now to see if he can find eggs from birds or chickens. The cooking of tomatoes and eggs is simple and perfect, but the price of eggs unlocked for the first time in the store is too unaffordable.
And, Ryan has another idea.
The local beautiful fruits taste sour and astringent, but the tomatoes produced in the store are pure sour and sweet, and the sugar here is sky-high. Only the elves and a few kingdoms have mastered the crude sugar-making process. The sugar is not only scarce, but also sweet.
The price is not very good, but it can still be sold for a sky-high price, especially among the nobles.
As for ordinary people, the best way for them to obtain sweetness is through fruits and honey, both of which are not only expensive but also scarce in quantity.
Ryan's store sells sugar, and even if tomatoes and eggs don't work, he can still get some ketchup.
Brown bread is hard and unpalatable, and it can be improved somewhat by adding some tomato sauce.
Ryan on the horse was lost in thought. Moses, who was advancing, slowed down. He didn't know what Ryan was going to do, so he asked with some temptation and a deliberate lie in a low voice: "Dear lord, are you going to the forest?"
What are you doing? We are now almost close to the edge of the forest. In addition to ordinary beasts, there will occasionally be high-level carnivorous monsters here."
Moses and Henry were close friends, and the relationship between them was profound.
Moses had no idea about Ryan. As for who would be the lord, it didn't matter as long as it didn't affect his status as captain of the escort team.
But if Henry wants Ryan to die, Moses will do his best to do it.
Moses had also participated in a trip that caused Ryan to encounter magical backlash before. This time Ryan took the initiative to go out and gave him another chance.
But this time they only came with five people, and only one of them, Moses, was a junior warrior, and the other four were ordinary people. If they really encountered the high-level monster Ling Ryan and died here, they might not be able to escape smoothly.
After all, Ryan is still a magician, and I don't know if his magic backlash has healed.
As well as the beautiful bird on Ryan's shoulder, Moses was somewhat afraid of it.
"Are there already high-level monsters appearing around here?"
Ryan didn't know what was in the forest. He nodded gently, looked at the big tree in the distance and asked Moses: "Then do you know where the birds are around here?"
Moses' eyes rolled in his sockets and he asked sideways: "What kind of bird are you talking about? Do you mean the beautiful bird on your shoulder? If you just want to catch some birds, leave this matter to us.
That's enough, you don't need to leave the castle at all, it's very dangerous here."
Seeing him looking at itself, the Tianmian bird, which had a certain amount of wisdom, could understand what Moses meant. It was angry that it compared itself to a bird that was only beautiful, so it spread its wings and gently pulled Ryan's hair with its beak, and brought him with it.
A little force would not break the roots of the hair, and then he tilted his head and chirped at Moses several times in succession.
Although threatening, he looks really soft and cute.
"Okay, okay, be good. He may have misunderstood me. Don't accidentally peck out my hair."
Although it didn't hurt, Ryan quickly stretched out his hand to comfort the celestial bird on his shoulder. He turned his head and said to Moses: "It is not an ordinary bird, and I want to find some chickens that can lay eggs. Of course, ducks can also do it. If it can be a Warcraft, that would be the best."
good."
After all, if it is a monster, the eggs it lays must taste better than ordinary wild bird eggs.
When thinking about the price of eggs in the store, Ryan couldn't help but ask in his mind: "So why is the price of the first purchase so high?"
The first purchase price of eggs in this world is one gold coin, and subsequent purchases of eggs cost 15 copper coins.
If you don't buy it through the store for the first time, you will have to go through his hands once for subsequent purchases before the price is reduced, which is really outrageous.
The common currency is 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 1000 copper coins. Above these three, there are higher prices. Even crystals, gems, food and gorgeous and smooth silk can be used as currency.
The system pondered for several seconds before replying in a cold voice: "The first time is always the most valuable. It's just like you spent a lot of money to get the role you want. Although you call yourself husband, you may feel that it is useless after a while.
Put him in the cold palace. I only earned the initial price once, but you can benefit permanently, and time and space transactions also require fees."
Ryan: "Your answer is very spiritual, pure and unpretentious, and I like the simple and crude way of defrauding money."
There is no way to refute it!
But now that he has no money, he is very unhappy.
"A monster egg?"
Unexpectedly, it was such a request. Moses' eyes looked a little strange. He lowered his head and thought for a while, briefly discussed with the other four people, then looked at Ryan and replied: "If you just want to collect some eggs of avian monsters, then maybe I can
I know there is a place where, if you are lucky, you may catch adult wild birds and beasts.”
Moses: "Do you want to go over now?"
Ryan nodded: "Go."
The place Moses was talking about was near the edge of the forest, still a long way from the dangerous center of the forest.
The higher the level of monsters, the closer they live to the center of the forest. Residents of the Lane Territory have never been there. Since most people only dare to wander around the edges, they rarely hear monsters actively hurting people.
Ryan rode a horse to walk the birds and followed Moses. When he entered the forest, he felt that the sunlight suddenly dimmed a lot. The tall trees blocked the sky and there were many weeds growing under the trees. The creature that looked like a gray hare had a body that was nearly the size of two basketballs and round.
With a rolling figure, he looked around while holding the unopened wild flower stalks in his front paws, and nibbling the flower bones with his incisors that were almost half the size of his head.
When Ryan saw the hare, he pursed his lips and said to the system in his mind: "This rabbit looks so plump."
The system was slightly confused, "Where is the rabbit?"
Ryan hesitantly said, "It's under that tree, didn't you see it? The one with half of the flower eaten."
"..."
After understanding what he was talking about, the system's voice was cold, "That is a first-level monster chipmunk. Judging from its size, it is still underage. It has the strength of a 13-year-old boy. It can also create small gravel to attack the enemy.
"
The celestial bird on the shoulder raised its wings and chirped, and the chipmunk under the tree immediately dropped the broken flower stem and flexibly and quickly dug a small tunnel in the ground. It wasn't until most of its body had penetrated that Ryan saw it.
The slender tail behind him.
Ryan: "..."
