Kiel, the coachman and servant, was busy, taking out a cowhide backpack from his luggage, opening it, and distributed the bread and sausages that had been prepared to everyone.
"Pass me the butter!"
Tony squeezed out a pimple on his face, rubbed it on his thigh, took the sausage with his hands, took a bite, and gave the order like an uncle.
"Don't be restrained. Let the servants get what you want to eat!" Robinson put a napkin around his neck, then took a table knife and started eating. Every move he made tried his best to imitate an upper-class noble.
"I want a duck egg!"
Born in a poor family, Will had never been served before. Looking at the duck eggs that Kier handed over respectfully, he felt uneasy, and then a look of envy appeared on his face.
"Work hard, and you will not only get a beautiful maid, but also a princess!" Robinson smiled, "This time the mission is about to happen, so the wine will be waived. I'll treat you to a drink next time!"
"Thank you, boss!" Will was so moved that he felt that Robinson was his soulmate. He decided to work hard later so as not to disappoint his boss.
Robinson wanted this effect. Looking at Will's expression of excitement and longing, a proud arc overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly concealed it. He believed that he had a good grasp of anyone's psychology.
, can make them willingly sacrifice their lives for themselves.
Downton destroyed the food as quickly as possible and began to sort out the items for the last time to make sure nothing was missed and placed in a convenient location.
"Aren't you going to eat any more?" Robinson's eyes narrowed slightly. This young man performed even better than Pires, who had been a mercenary for three years.
The food was provided by oneself. Tony and others took advantage of the opportunity to eat for free and stuffed it into their stomachs one by one. However, this boy only stopped after eating a piece of black bread and a few slices of sausage. He was probably not even sixty percent full.
Less than.
"No need, eating too much will affect your movements!" Downton shook his head, tactfully reminding these people that he didn't want to move with a bunch of people with big bellies.
After a gluttony, not only the body will be sluggish, but the spirit will also be relaxed. It is really dangerous to enter Crow Ridge at this time.
"You know nothing. If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight?" Thor looked at Downton provocatively and stuffed another large piece of sausage into his mouth. His cheeks bulged and he couldn't even chew the meat.
The crumbs kept falling out.
Pires, who was biting bread, frowned, glanced at Downton, put down the food, picked up the Viking heavy sword, and wiped it carefully.
"A set of ordinary equipment including weapons and armor costs at least five hundred gold coins. After excluding the daily maintenance costs, there is not much copper left. Therefore, most mercenaries are very poor, and they will have a big meal when they have the opportunity.
, I will definitely not let him go." Pires explained that his self-esteem made him not want to leave an image of incompetence to others.
Will and Duren were too embarrassed to eat.
"When we get back to Morning Mist Town, I'll treat you to a big dinner." Robinson was very good at being a good person. He not only appeased everyone, but also gave Downton a look of thanks, which was also a tactic to win over.
Robinson handed the plate to Keir and looked at Downton with increasing satisfaction.
This is a fifteen-year-old boy with a slightly thin figure, but he is very energetic, has delicate features, and always presses his lips tightly, but his occasional smile will reveal a refreshing taste.
Downton sat on a stone, took out the grimoire, and flipped through it. He did not enter a meditative state, but read to calm his turbulent mind.
The rising morning sun shone down and reflected Downton's angular facial contours, making him look like an exquisite statue carved by Master Rodin.
"This guy will definitely be very handsome in the future. With that face alone, he can coax many lonely ladies into his arms!"
Robinson suddenly felt a little jealous. When Downton was reading, he was as quiet as an elegant poet. He knew that in the imperial capital, young men with his temperament were full of lethality towards some ladies with special hobbies!
Will felt ashamed of himself and felt that he was far behind compared to Downton of the same age. However, an hour after entering Crow Hill, this thought was thrown away, leaving only panic and fear.
There is a lingering stench lingering in the nose, the soil is soft, and the insects in it are crawling on the body as if there is no one around.
If left untreated, within five minutes, both trouser legs will be crawling with disgusting bugs.
The cold wind blew by, seeming to bring the cries and screams of the dead souls, directly seeping into the bone marrow, making people shudder.
"Are you scared? The ghoul hasn't come out yet, otherwise I will scare you to death!" Tony laughed at Will, deliberately scaring him.
"No!" Although Will denied it, his trembling voice still revealed his mood.
"Silence, be careful to search the ground, don't miss the herbs!" Robinson lowered his voice and warned, "Be careful to attract undead creatures."
There are many black crows hovering in the sky, making a constant noise, which is very annoying.
“There are too few herbs!”
After walking for nearly an hour, and even passing through an abandoned town, Will looked at the poor five herbs and couldn't help but complain.
"Normally, there are a lot of people like us who come to collect herbs, so there is almost no harvest outside Crow Ridge. However, no one dares to enter the center of the cemetery, so if you want to make a fortune, you have to go in." Tony licked
He licked his lips and hesitated.
He had long lost his previous calmness and wanted to leave. Only by entering Crow Ridge could he experience the pressure of death.
Duren was also very nervous. The seven-man team had already seen seventeen wandering ghouls, but luckily, relying on Pires' experience, everyone avoided them early.
"If you want to get rich, you have to take risks. We can definitely find herbs that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. One plant can be sold for thousands of gold coins." Robinson cheered everyone up and painted pies to boost morale. At the same time, he also did not forget to relieve stress.
"Don't worry, we will return in the afternoon. We can definitely leave Crow Ridge before dark."
"It's necessary. Night is the time when undead creatures are active. If you spend the night here, you will be dead." Pires walked in front of the team and couldn't help but look back, "Downton, what are you doing with so many things?
?Aren’t you tired?”
"Kerosene lamps and five days' worth of food are nothing but a waste of your energy." Tony finally found the opportunity to taunt Downton, "Are you planning to camp at Crow Ridge?"
"Be prepared for a rainy day!" Downton said concisely.
Robinson looked at Downton, who was walking in second place, and suddenly felt a little admired. Compared to Will, who was scared to death, although he was nervous, he could still stay calm.
When he suddenly encountered a ghoul just now, Will was so frightened that he opened his mouth and screamed. Fortunately, Downton had quick eyes and quick hands and covered his mouth, otherwise the monster would definitely be alarmed.
"Attention, we found an undead mushroom, about fifty steps from the ten o'clock direction!" Downton is a man who keeps his promises, so even though he got the valuable magic book, he did not ask to go home and still took the risk.
Danger enters Crow Ridge.
"Your eyesight is so good!" Will was envious, and Robinson promised that in addition to the fixed commission, there would be an additional commission for every herb found.
"It's not a problem with eyesight. Everyone can see it from this close." Du Lun glanced at his friend's back and smiled, "Did you notice? One-third of our harvest is what he saw."
"Can you tell me any tips?" Will's eyes shone.
"You're stupid. I told you how to earn commission?" Tony spat, deliberately provoking, trying to get the secrets of Downton.
"Come here, I'll tell you." Downton waved to Will, then looked at Tony and raised an index finger, "Don't use provocation. Ten gold coins and I'll tell you the answer."
"You are looking for undead mushrooms based on their growth characteristics, right? They usually grow in humid, shady, and backlit places." Robinson patted his forehead and said, "I blame me for forgetting to introduce them to you."
"No wonder I saw you entering the magic potion shop yesterday afternoon. It turned out that you were going to inquire about potion knowledge." Du Lun suddenly realized.
"It's not asking, it's buying. Don't you know that arrogant and self-conscious pharmacist?" Downton bent over and rushed out to pick undead mushrooms.
"If this kid becomes a mercenary, he will definitely make a name for himself!" Pires looked at the bold and careful Downton and expressed his sincere admiration.
"Fifteen gold coins a month, how about you work with me?" When Downton came back, Robinson made a price. This kind of talent must be caught as soon as possible.
Duren and Will's eyes suddenly became hot, and they signaled Downton with their eyes, asking him to agree immediately.
"Hey, a man who is not even a magician is worth considering, what is there to value?" Tony was jealous. If Downton nodded, it would be higher than his salary.
"Let me think about it!" Downton agreed if he didn't get the magic book, but now, he needs to rethink the future development.
"What else is there to think about? Fifteen gold coins, the average apprentice only gets three in a month!" Will was annoyed. If this high salary was placed in front of him, he would have jumped on it without hesitation.
Even the calmest Pires didn't expect that Downton would refuse. That Keir's eyes were even red with jealousy. Because he was a slave, he couldn't even get a silver delan every month.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, but my store door will always be open for you!" Robinson concealed the unhappiness on his face, and there was a slander in his heart. This kind of young man who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth will know the reality after he has suffered enough losses.
It's cruel.
"Get down, a hundred meters ahead, there's a group of ghouls!" Pires roared, and everyone crouched down quickly, fearing that they would be discovered.
There are thirty-six ghouls ahead, one of them should be a minotaur in front of him, over two and a half meters tall!
"Let's take a detour!" Robinson made a gesture, instructing everyone to take a detour to the right and avoid the group of ghouls.
Because of the previous encounters, everyone had experience. They lowered their bodies, moved slowly, and tried to stay as quiet as possible.
"Nothing unusual!"
Every minute, Pires would report the status of the ghoul group. Ten minutes later, everyone made an arc and reached the 2 o'clock position of the tallest ghoul, and would soon leave.
"There is nothing unusual. If we walk another hundred meters, we can speed up." Pires' words made everyone feel a lot more relaxed, but Downton suddenly interrupted.
"No, there's something wrong!"
Everyone was startled and looked at the group of ghouls. They still hadn't noticed the team, and they were wandering around, getting more and more scattered. No matter how you looked at it, there was no danger.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You want to scare me to death!" Tony was angry.
"Look at those scattered ghouls. If they were connected together, they would form an arc." Downton looked around, his expression serious. He wished he had guessed wrong.
Before the others could understand, Pires only glanced at it, his face suddenly turned pale, and his rich experience told him that he was being hunted.
"Oops, that ghoul might be a wise lord!"
As if to confirm Pires' judgment, the tallest ghoul let out a shrill soul scream.
The ghouls that were wandering around immediately became crazy and ran towards the team to kill them!
