Jonah limped out of the house and stretched out to face the rising sun. The tenants in Room A51 gathered outside the door to discuss something. Seeing the figure of the astrologer's apprentice, Toba rubbed his hands and bent down and said: "Astrology
Sir Warlock, please get up, we are waiting for you."
"Um, Chief, what's the matter?" Yona rubbed his eyes.
"In order to compensate for Dad's damaged wooden house, we must take on an M-level or higher mission. Last night when I went to buy food, I met Mr. Yamu. Mr. Yamu said that an official M-level mission would be released this morning. After discussing with Dad, he specified
To the Pitchfork Team." The room leader said a little uneasily, "I forgot to report to you last night. I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I had dark circles under my eyes when I woke up in the morning."
"Huh." Xibi looked at the room chief's lackluster look and blew out a breath from his small nostrils.
"Oh, where are the M-level missions." Jonah thought of the notes in the "Cherry Crossing Survival Manual". M-level is a medium difficulty level. It is usually an intelligence, collection, and survey mission that requires leaving Cherry Crossing. Because it is within the protection range of Cherry Crossing
In addition, the person performing the task may face life-threatening danger. Not to mention the beasts and Colombo people, there are a large number of powerless people lurking in dark corners to spy on the tenants' wealth.
Elliot wiped the blood sword and rose emblem on his armor with the corner of his red cloak, and asked casually: "You must not have asked about the content of the mission, right, Mr. Room Chief."
"Well, I get nervous when I talk to Mr. Eight Eyes..." Toba's big face turned slightly red.
"Come on, let's talk about it when we get to Bamu." Xibi stamped his feet irritably, jumped up to Toba's shoulder, and sat down comfortably.
"Let's go." The little woman in green patted the head of the room on his bald head and pointed in the direction. Toba saluted Yona, put on his round hat, walked away with a big stride.
"It's not that direction." Elliot sighed and spoke softly at a volume that the two of them could hear.
Xibi slapped Toba hard, and the head of the house hurriedly changed course and walked away.
The Rose Knight urged the unicorn, and the beast moved forward with small, reserved steps. Jekon followed behind with a confused look on his face, and the overly long scabbard hit his calf from time to time.
"Let's go. I'll tell you a little story about Cherry Crossing on the way." Long Ji smiled at Yona and took the lead.
Yona was stunned for a moment, dragging his injured leg to catch up. He was a little afraid to keep pace with the black-haired woman, so he gave up half a step and followed Long Ji diagonally behind him. He saw the oriental woman's small, white jade-carved ears hidden by her black hair.
The lower part is looming, and the silver threads in the hair are strung with silver bells, which make a clear sound of jingling bells with the steps.
"Do you know how many people are watching when we are walking on the road like this?" Long Ji said without looking at him.
"I understand, we are only Class A tenants, and other rights and interests are not protected except life." Jonah replied.
"So partners in the team must have absolute trust in each other. Just like we are walking on the road in a loose formation now, in fact, everyone's position is clearly printed in their hearts, and everyone is looking after everyone else's back.
Leave the defenseless side to your partners. An unqualified team member may wipe out the entire team. This happens every day in Cherry Crossing." Long Ji turned back and looked at Yona's face with eyes like paint.
.
For some reason, Jonah avoided that look, "Oh yes, of course, I will learn to become a qualified member of the team. I will learn quickly, really. Now, whose back do I need to stare at?
"He said a little hastily.
Long Ji laughed silently, "I'm scaring you. The strength of the Pitchfork Team is quite good, and there are fewer and fewer reckless people attacking us recently. - Besides, who can you protect with your strength?"
"You won't be weak forever..." Jonah muttered with hurt pride.
After continuous practice, the "scorching ray" I learned yesterday can successfully hit a target twenty yards away and burn an entire weed. The effect should be better at night, at least the visual effect will be better.
Jonah was determined to turn to the last page of "Elementary Practical Application of the Interstellar Line between the Star No. 30 "Bear" in the First House and the Opposite Star No. 7 "Ship" in the Seventh House" directly to learn the most powerful forbidden spell, but the old mentor
The words rang in my ears: "Boy, don't think about reaching the sky in one step. Astrology is not a myth, it is science. The legendary secret words, forbidden spells, ancient magic books and the like do not exist at all. If you want to get ahead, go and finish your geometry homework first.
Say it again."
"Alas." The astrologer's apprentice sighed in frustration.
According to the rules of knight novels, he should not have been involved in the whirlpool of world change so early. How could any protagonist be so weak that he relied on women for protection? Thinking of his mentor whose life or death was uncertain, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Long Ji glanced around, and some figures lurking in the stone houses lurked. She continued the topic: "What I want to say is, whether it is a powerful killer or a weak wretch (yes, I am a weak wretch,
Jonah thought), trust is the cornerstone of a team. You have been in room A51 for just a few days, can we trust you and accept you? Can you trust us and accept us?"
"Of course!" Jonah cheered up and did not hesitate.
"Very good. So, what are you hiding?" Long Ji suddenly stopped and stared into Yona's eyes with a pair of abyss-black pupils.
Yona's steps were stiff, he couldn't look away, he felt that the gravity of the earth was quietly reversing, and his soul was about to move deep in his body. Long Ji's eyes were like a whirlpool, making his consciousness almost leave his body.
"No, no..." The dark library of the Royal and Anglican Library reappeared before our eyes, candlelight flickered, and the unnamed book written by the traitor Segres automatically opened to the first page. The scene turned and the flames of war burned it.
In the library, the heavy book turned into three and a half pages. The confused and helpless young man spread his wings and flew towards a huge mirror. In the mirror, there was a face exactly like his own, but with a completely different expression.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up, and he gave an evil smile. The sky and the earth turned upside down, the black ones turned into white, and the white ones turned into black.
With a clanking sound, the mirror shattered into fragments flying all over the sky. Each fragment contained the face of the person in the mirror.
Jonah returned to the real world, where the sunshine was warm while the cherry blossoms were crossing, and the water was rushing on the other side of the holy river. The sound of the mirror breaking turned out to be the small silver bell in Long Ji's hair ringing in the wind.
Jonah found himself breaking into a cold sweat and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Let's go." Long Ji rubbed her eyebrows with her hands, looked at Yona suspiciously five or three times, then turned around and left.
Jonah patted his forehead and couldn't remember what happened just now. He could only follow the woman's footsteps.
The owner of Cherry Crossing is Dad, and Dad’s friend is Mr. Eight Eyes. Mr. Eight Eyes is Dad’s eyes and arms. The release of all official tasks, team qualifications, timing and reward distribution are all done by this important person alone.
Complete, it can be said that Mr. Yame is the official spokesperson of Cherry Crossing;
There is another important person named W. Mr. W is the king of the night in Cherry Crossing. All shady activities happen in Mr. W’s room. Long Ji gave a brief introduction to the newcomers on the way.
Cherry Crossing is not a big place. After a pack of cigarettes, the tenants of A51 came to an unnumbered stone house. There were more than a dozen well-dressed gentlemen and ladies with rosy faces gathered in front of the house. The complicated and gorgeous Western Continental court costumes looked...
It is incompatible with the dark color of Cherry Crossing.
"Hey, there's a large gathering of V-class tenants! It's so rare." Xibi, who arrived first, jumped off Toba's shoulder and shouted in surprise. A lady looked at the members of the Pitchfork Team and twisted.
He opened his face and covered his nose with a fragrant handkerchief.
"They are the privileged class of Cherry Crossing, rich merchants or nobles. They gather here to get ferry tickets or other reasons, and live in expensive V-class rooms for a long time. By the way, the monthly rent is fifty gold coins or its equivalent.
Elliot explained in a low voice.
"Then our A-class guest rooms are..." Jonah, who was born in the five major guilds, has no intuitive understanding of currency units.
"15 silver coins per month. They paid it on my behalf." the Rose Knight said with a slight embarrassment. It seems that the noble knights across the continent also have financial problems of the general public, Yona thought secretly, feeling a little more mentally balanced.
Toba stood respectfully outside the small circle surrounded by V-class tenants, opened his mouth, but said nothing. As soon as he saw the noble, the Bazeral peasant returned to his original identity, and he was extremely nervous.
At this time, the door of the house opened, and someone came out and stood in the middle of the crowd, saying loudly: "Dear distinguished guests, the visit is over, go back and rest. Before Dad's house was rebuilt, the task bulletin board was hung on my back wall.
Task orders can be posted at any time.”
A fat man wearing an inappropriate evening dress wiped his sweat and said: "How much information will Dad share with us?"
"Old rule, I only tell you what you need to know. Leave, friends, I have to receive my clients." Mr. Eight Eyes made a "please" gesture, and the V-level tenants were buzzing with discussion and divided into three or five.
The small group left.
"Brother Toba, members of Pitchfork, and by the way, the new magician, hello." Eight Eyes turned to everyone and greeted them politely.
"It's Mr. Astrologer." Toba corrected in a low voice.
"Hello, hello." Yona slurred with his mouth wide open in surprise. Mr. Eight Eyes is actually a woman! She is a tall, plump red-haired young woman wearing a floral skirt and a floral headscarf. This makes the young man
The Astrologer's Apprentice is a bit hard to swallow.
"Mr. Eight Eyes is a woman? Why do women call themselves sir?" he quietly asked Elliot next to him.
"Don't ask her this question herself." Ellie replied secretly.
"Since you came, the nights in Cherry Crossing have become much brighter, which makes the lonely and helpless widow much safer when walking at night. Thank you." Mr. Yamu smiled and lifted up the skirt of his skirt to perform a symbolic squatting ceremony.
, Jonah quickly bowed deeply in return.
"Uh, Mr. Eight Eyes... I didn't expect..." He stammered to explain his gaffe.
"What didn't you expect?" The sexy young woman stared at him with bright light blue eyes, "I'm going to be a widow at such a young age?"
"Uh... no, I thought you..."
Elliot looked into the distance gracefully. The unicorn raised his right front hoof and stepped gently on Jonah's foot, twisting it twice. The pain prevented the newcomer from Cherry Crossing from telling the biggest taboo in the town in time.
Phrases: The gender issue of “Mr.”
Yona groaned and bent down, "So, dear task publisher, what do you need us to do for you this time?" The Rose Knight smiled and changed the subject.
"Oh, yes, come here." Mr. Eight Eyes nodded and turned away.
"Huh~" Xibi wiped the cold sweat and wiped his neck at Yona who was rubbing his feet.
