Chapter 468: The monsters under the Tubat volcano
"...the dance of the wind elves, soaring in the blue sky; the harp in the distance plays beautiful chords. The immature child's voice asked grandpa who is the cutest? The rising sun in the east shows a happy face..."
"Stop singing Alice, come and help me clean up." Hughington packed the tent, blankets, and bedding.
It was early in the morning, the wind was sunny and sunny. Although there was some light rain last night, the weather today was very good. With the humid air and fresh cool breeze, Alice stood in this vast fertile plain and couldn't help singing one song after another.
"Hey, look, it's fox hounds. There are so many 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 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 large travel bag. He looked up at Alice, who was unmoved, and then at the group of foxhounds with brown and white fur: "Looking at the fur, they should be Tusman foxhounds. With so many foxhounds together, they must be They were raised and herded by others.”
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? Come on, this is common sense. Although foxhounds are social monsters, they live in families. Only members of one family will stay together. There are so many foxhounds here. The dogs definitely don’t belong to the same family. And your master, Bing Zhixie, asked about it when he was in the village ahead. There are many nomads on the Tubat Plain, and it’s easy to think of such a large group of fox hounds now.”
"Really?" Alice asked: "My master asked you how you know, why don't I know?"
Hurlington said: "You were only watching the circus performance, how could you notice this?"
Alice scratched her temples and smiled ashamedly.
Shurlington crossed his chest and thought for a while, then said to Alice: "Do you want to know more stories about fox hounds?"
"Yes."
Hughington smiled and said: "Then you come and help me pack my things, and I will tell you."
When Alice heard his "shameless" conditions, she glared at him hatefully, but she really wanted to know those interesting stories to satisfy her curiosity and write her travel diary, so she had to agree: "Okay. "Okay. But you can't cheat. You have to tell me all the stories about Foxhound." Clean it up, I’ll tell you while I’m at it "Listen, let me tell you the characteristics of this kind of monster first." He said: "Foxhound is a wild beast. There are many varieties, and Tusman Foxhound is just one of them." The Mandarin Foxhound is not widely distributed and only exists in a few plain areas in the north. Adult Foxhounds are generally 1.2 to 1.5 meters long and weigh about 30 to 35 kilograms. Male Foxhounds have two short horns on their heads. , this short angle can be made into a Incense is very popular among common people and low-level nobles. Female foxhounds have no horns, but after the female is pregnant, a fleshy ball will grow on her abdomen, which is called a 'belly fruit'. The medicine can cure diseases, and it will grow back every time it gives birth. The foxhound mainly feeds on unicorn rabbits and other small animals. The food we ate last night was unicorn rabbit meat. It likes to drink the green wild goblin. Collected morning dew, so The herdsmen take them out to graze before dawn. 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. ”
The Green Goblin is a humanoid goblin with green skin all over his body. He is very small, only a dozen centimeters tall, and is not as tall as a unicorn rabbit. big. They have wings and can fly. They live in green grass and like moist air. They often accompany the Unicorn Rabbit and are protected by the Unicorn Rabbit and other magical beasts. In return, they will use the food they collect. Part of the morning dew comes to thank you. When their lives are threatened, they will use phantom magic to escape.
Alice heard this: "Wow, you know it quite clearly."
Hughington smiled and said: "Of course, I am a very good alchemist. I know most of the materials well. You know, a good alchemist is usually also a good pharmacist, so you should respect me more in the future, 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. He said: "I asked, and there is Tubat volcano not far ahead. Not long after passing the volcano, you can see a city."
< br>Hughington 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.
Hughington 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 do repeated research and experiments, so that I can know What does it work better with and what doesn’t it work well with?”
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 he giggled all night."
Hughington was killed When she talked about embarrassing things, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
Bing Zhixie smiled at the side. Since Hurington joined the team, Alice bickered with Hurington every day and didn't bother him so much. This allowed him to calm down and study hard. own magic.
Alice called out Yeck and carefully cared for him in her hand. Yeck had not recovered since he suffered a sword injury in the battle a few days ago. She jumped on the six-pointed reindeer: "Let's go, Master." Hughington also jumped on his reindeer.
Bing Zhixie did not move, and said: "Don't worry, we are not rushing today."
"Huh?" Alice looked at the master strangely, but she knew that the master would rarely not rush on the road actively.
Bing Zhixie asked: "Alice, how have you been practicing martial arts recently?"
Alice thought for a while and said: "It's not bad, just 'Lion Heart' 'There's always no progress with this move, I've worked very hard I followed the method the guard taught me."
Bing Zhixie asked again: "Then do you want to go to the Tubat volcano in front of you? I heard that there are many novelties on that volcano? of Warcraft ”
"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 it right, we are going to the volcano."
"I love you to death, Master." Alice hugged Bing Zhixie and was about to go Kiss him.
“You’re here.” Bing Zhixie pushed her away and turned to Xiulington: “What about you, do you agree to go too?”
“Can I disagree? "Hughington said: "Actually, I also want to go up and take a look. There are usually rich treasures around the volcano. Maybe I can find a lot of precious alchemy materials."
Bing Zhixie said: "Since everyone agrees to go, let's change our route and walk up the mountain."
"Okay." Alice was already very happy, but she still asked: "Master , how could you suddenly be so kind to me today, so merciful that you didn’t rush away? , but take me to play?"
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "I am not merciful. I just met a person in front. He claimed to be a hot air balloon supplier in the city ahead. I have already told him that I want to buy a hot air balloon instead of a means of transportation. He has already paid a deposit, but he said that he only has small hot air balloons that can fly short distances. It will take 5 to 7 days to make a new one that can travel long distances. With hot air balloons, we don’t have to go around so much, which is convenient. It’s a lot, so there’s no need to be in a hurry.”< br>
“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?”
Hughington said: "That's it."
"Ah, that's great." Alice jumped several meters high, happily pulling Bing Zhixie to dance.
“But making a hot air balloon is very expensive.” Hullington said.
“Yeah.” Bingzhixie said, “One hundred and forty thousand gold coins, but it’s your money anyway.”
“My money?” Hughington was surprised.
Bingzhixie 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 you would pay me back." I gave it to you, but I didn’t say when I would return it. I haven’t had it with me for so many years, so of course I will use it first. Besides, I won’t use this hot air balloon alone.”
“You...”
Alice on the side covered her mouth and snickered.
