"...the dance of the sylphs, soaring in the blue sky; the harp in the distance plays beautiful chords. The immature child's voice asks grandpa who is the cutest? The rising sun in the east shows a happy face..."
"Stop singing Alice, come here and help me clean up." Hughington packed up the tent, blankets, and bedding.
It was early in the morning, the wind was bright and sunny. Although there was some light rain last night, the weather today was very good. The humid air and the fresh cool breeze made Alice stand in this vast fertile plain and couldn't help but finish singing.
One song after another.
"Hey, look, it's fox hounds. There are a lot of them, dozens of them." Alice pointed at a large group of fox hounds on the hillside in the distance and barked.
"Hey, stop looking around. Come over and help me when you have free time. Pack your things early so we can hit the road early." Hullington folded the three blankets, tied them tightly with ropes, and put them into the big travel bag. He
He looked up at Alice, who was unmoved, and then at the group of brown and white foxhounds: "Looking at the fur, they should be Tusman foxhounds. With so many foxhounds together, it must be someone else."
They were bred and pastured in captivity.”
Sure enough, two nomads riding big black horses slowly came out from behind the mountain.
Alice ran to Hullington: "You seem to know very well, and you also guessed that it was raised by herdsmen."
Hullington said: "What do you mean by guessing? This is called common sense. Although foxhounds are gregarious monsters, they live in families. Only members of one family will stay together. There are so many foxhounds here.
It belongs to a family. And your master, Bing Zhixie, asked about it when he was in the village ahead. There are many nomads on the Tubat Plain. Now, suddenly there is such a large group of fox hounds. It is easy to think of them."
"Really?" Alice asked: "My master asked you how you know, why don't I know?"
Hullington said: "You were only watching the circus performance, how could you notice this?"
Alice scratched her temples and smiled ashamedly.
Hurlington crossed his chest and thought for a while, then said to Alice: "Do you want to know more stories about fox hounds?"
"Yes I do."
Hullington smiled and said, "Then come and help me pack my things, and I'll tell you."
When Alice heard his "shameless" condition, she glared at him hatefully, but she also really wanted to know those interesting stories to satisfy her curiosity and write her travel diary, so she had to agree: "Okay.
Yes. But you must not lie, and you must tell me all the stories about the fox hound."
This time, Hullington caught Alice's weakness and said, "Okay, I'll tell you while you clean it up. Let me tell you the characteristics of this monster first." He said, "Hunter.
The fox dog is a wild beast. There are many varieties, and the Tusman fox dog is just one of them. The Tusman fox dog is not widely distributed, and only exists in a few plain areas in the north. Adult fox dogs
Dogs are generally 1.2 to 1.5 meters long and weigh about 30 to 35 kilograms. The male foxhound has two short horns on its head. These short horns can be made into a kind of incense and are very popular among ordinary civilians and lower nobles.
Love. Female foxhounds have no horns, but after the female is pregnant, a fleshy ball will grow on her abdomen, called a 'belly fruit'. This 'belly fruit' is a medicinal material that can treat diseases, and every time she gives birth
They will all grow back. Foxhounds mainly feed on unicorn rabbits and other small animals. The food we ate last night was unicorn rabbit meat. It likes to drink the morning dew collected by the green fairies, so the herdsmen eat it before dawn.
I take them out to raise them when the time comes. In addition, the morning dew collected by the green fairies is very helpful for the rapid recovery of magic power and the improvement of one's own magic power. Many pharmacists use it to make advanced magic potions. This is also my favorite.
like."
The green goblin is a kind of humanoid goblin with green skin all over its body. It is very small, only a dozen centimeters tall, and is not as big as a unicorn rabbit. They have wings, can fly, and live in green grass.
Here, they like moist air and are often accompanied by the one-horned rabbit. They are protected by the one-horned rabbit and other magical beasts. As a reward, they will use part of the morning dew they collect to thank them. When their lives are threatened,
Can use phantom magic to escape.
Alice listened: "Wow, you know it quite clearly."
Hurlington smiled and said: "Of course, I am a very good alchemist and I know most of the materials in the world. You know, an excellent alchemist is usually also an excellent pharmacist, so you should
You should respect me more, just like you respect your master."
"Tch, stinky." Alice put the pots and pans into two bags, and then placed the two huge bags on the two hexagonal reindeer.
After a while, Bing Zhixie came back and said, "I asked, and there is Tubat volcano not far ahead. Not long after passing the volcano, you can see a city."
Hullington breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Finally there is a city. I thought there were no cities in this country. I didn't even see many villages along the way."
"Isn't it just a city? Why are you so happy?" Alice said.
Hurlington said: "It's not the Ice Phoenix Feather that your master gave me to study. If I want to understand the characteristics of the Ice Phoenix Feather, I have to study and experiment repeatedly so that I can know what it is used in combination with."
Better, and what not to use together.”
Alice said: "You are still complaining about my master. When my master gave you the Ice Phoenix Feather, I don't know who was so happy that I giggled all night long."
Hullington was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak when she mentioned embarrassing things.
Bing Zhixie smiled at the side. Ever since Hughington joined the team, Alice bickered with Hurlington every day and didn't bother him so much. This allowed him to calm down and study his magic.
Alice called out Yeke and carefully cared for him in her hands. Yeke had not recovered since he suffered a sword injury in the battle a few days ago. She jumped on the six-pointed reindeer and said, "Let's go, Master."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hughington also jumped on his reindeer.
Bing Zhixie did not move, but said: "Don't worry, we are not in a hurry today."
"Huh?" Alice looked at the master strangely. She knew that the master would rarely not rush on his way actively.
Bing Zhixie asked: "Alice, how have you been practicing your martial arts recently?"
Alice thought for a while and said: "It's not bad, but I always make no progress with the 'Lion Heart' move. I have worked very hard to learn it according to the method taught to me by the guard."
Bing Zhixie asked again: "Then do you want to go to the Tubat volcano in front of you to play? I heard that there are many novel magical beasts on that volcano."
"I think so!" Alice exclaimed in surprise. She jumped off the reindeer and happily ran to Bing Zhixie: "I heard you right, Master, you actually want to take me to play."
Bing Zhixie also smiled: "You heard me right, we just want to go to the volcano."
"I love you so much, Master." Alice hugged Bing Zhixie and was about to kiss him.
"Don't come." Bing Zhixie pushed her away and turned to Xiulington: "What about you, do you agree to go too?"
"Can I disagree?" Hullington said: "Actually, I also want to go up there and have a look. The areas around volcanoes are usually rich in treasures. Maybe I can find a lot of precious alchemical materials."
Bingzhixie said: "Since everyone agrees to go, let's change our route and go up the mountain."
"Okay." Alice was already extremely happy, but she still asked: "Master, how could you suddenly be so kind to me today, and be so compassionate that you took me to play instead of rushing away?"
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said: "I'm not showing mercy. I just met a man in front. He claimed to be a hot air balloon supplier and rented hot air balloons in the city ahead. I have already told him that I want to change my means of transportation.
I have paid a deposit to buy a hot air balloon, but he said that his place now only has small hot air balloons that fly short distances. It would take 5 to 7 days to build one that can travel long distances. With hot air balloons, we don’t have to go around so much.
The road is much more convenient, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."
"Hot air balloon!" Alice asked: "Is a hot air balloon the kind of thing that can fly in the sky, and then hang a big hanging rail underneath, and then we can sit in it?"
Hullington said: "That's it."
"Ah, that's great." Alice jumped several meters high and happily danced with Bing Zhixie.
"But it's very expensive to make a hot air balloon," Hullington said.
"Yeah." Bingzhixie said, "One hundred and forty thousand gold coins, but it's your money anyway."
"My money?" Hullington was surprised.
Bing Zhixie said: "It's the three hundred thousand gold coupons I stole from you."
This time it was Hullington's turn to jump up: "Hey, you promised me you would pay me back last time, how could you not keep your promise?"
Bingzhixie said: "I said I would return it to you, but I didn't say when. I haven't carried it with me for so many years, so of course I will use yours first. Besides, I won't use this hot air balloon alone."
"you……"
Alice on the side covered her mouth and snickered.
