Chapter 59 59. The Goblin and the Female Mage
The petite spider lying in the narrow-angle spider web dragged the thread and slid down on the bedside table little by little.
Its two forelimbs held a wrapped insect corpse, struggling against the night wind outside the window, climbed off the bedside table and landed on the pillow.
"This human always feeds me food. He must have given me all his food, right?" The spider hesitantly dragged the insect corpse to the sleeping Annan's mouth, happily With arms and legs akimbo: "This is what I prepared for you..."
Annan, who was watching everything from a third-person perspective, saw that touching "himself" woke up, and he was horrified to find a spider on his pillow. and bug corpses, screaming and waving their hands to beat the pillows.
The panicked spider was overturned by the air current and huddled under the bed, shivering in fear.
Annan's search and tumbling on the bed caused dust to fall from the bottom of the bed. The carefully wrapped insect rolled with the airflow to the helpless spider. Its eyes were filled with tears of fear. It didn't know What did I do wrong...
The next morning, "I" ran to the Morrowind Tavern and cried to Andrew Luna, Michael, and Soruman Bronzebeard: "In my room There are spiders."
"Don't worry, Danan," Michael said, taking out a handful of crumbs from his pocket, "Spider bait!" The highly poisonous bait is fatally attractive to spiders, and placing it in front of the spider will solve the problem."
After getting the bait, "I" returned to the attic and found the little spider lying in the cobweb.
Seeing "himself" approaching, the petite spider backed away in fear and shrank into a corner. "I" stick the bait to the spider web, and then retreat far away.
"Such sweet food...is it for me?" The petite spider crawled to the sticky bait in surprise, "Then, I'll forgive you once, but don't be so fierce again..."< br>
The spider's fear turned into a smile, and he picked up the bait and put it to his mouth.
“Thank you, human~”
"No!"
So Annan woke up again at dawn.
The spider lies quietly in the narrow angle of the web.
It can be self-reliant, and there will be prey that falls into the trap.
Annan thought so, sighed and sat up from the bed, closing the window to prevent dangerous predators from breaking in and eating it. Then he took out the spider bottle...
...
After washing, he put on the mage's robe and came to the tavern.
Andrew Luna, Michael, and Soruman Bronzebeard were all at the wine table, and even their positions were the same as in the dream...
"In my room There are spiders." Annan looked around suspiciously.
"What? Just shoot him to death with his shoe." Michael said.
"Our Mr. Warlock is actually afraid of spiders." The female dwarf laughed roughly.
"No, I just told you that I raised a spider." Annan skipped the topic, "Has the rat problem been eliminated?"
"That's why I'm here." Mai Ker pointed to the silhouette outside the window, "The carriage is outside."
"Then let's set off."
But before going out, Annan reminded Martin not to go to his attic. When he was in town, Martin even tried to feed the little spider a piece of poultry meat.
The smooth carriage drove out of Breeze City, and the bustling street scene was quickly replaced by woods.
"Do you want to go back to Pinglin Town for a visit?" Michael asked.
Annan shook his head: "I just arrived in Breeze City... let's go back with Martin when he wants to go home."
At least now, ask him if Aunt Susan misses him. Martin will most likely ask: Who is Aunt Susan?
“You seem to have a good relationship with them?”
"Of course, if it hadn't been for Aunt Susan and her family, I would have died on the street."
"What's going on?"
"...I lost my memory. I didn't even know common language at that time. Said."
"Amnesia..." Michael thought thoughtfully, "Then how do you know you are not Levi?"
"I knew it." 'Can help you recover your past memories."
"The weather is not bad today?"
Michael ignored Annan's change of subject: "It rained yesterday and the road was not easy to walk."
He rushed to the fourth The trip to Xiangcha Road is expected to take a full day. Annan dug out the magician's handbook and occasionally chatted with Michael, asking about the magician's tower and secret societies.
“It is prohibited to spread information inside the Mage Tower, and I am not the one who formed the association.”
Annan asked about basic common sense: "Is the mage tower important to the mage?"
"Very important. You might as well think of the mage tower as a magic wand, or an extension of itself. A mage tower can extremely increase the mages' power. With control over magic, the legendary mage with the Mage Tower can even fight against gods."
"What about the warlock?"
"What's the use of that thing? Warlocks don't need to learn. Knowledge."
"Mr. Victor said that knowledge is also useful to warlocks."
Michael felt that Annan was deceived by Victor: "Knowledge is power for mages, but for warlocks, only your knowledge increases."
"That is, those who accept the commission and clean up the monsters will get A reward, but you can’t get anything by directly cleaning up the monsters?”
“Absolutely.”
Annan’s attention returned to the Warlock’s Codex. There are not many pages left, and when you turn to the last page, there is a scrawled note in a personal style:
[Those who get the code, if you are an ordinary person, please pass it to the warlock, and you will get it. Generous rewards. If you are a warlock, the content in this handbook should be able to help you. If you're the goddamn bastard who killed me, I'll be waiting for you in hell! 】
Putting away the Warlock's Notes, which he would read several times in the future, Annan turned to the popular novels he had brought.
Most of the places and customs in these popular novels are suitable and can effectively help Annan understand the world.
Michael meditated in the evening, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that Annan had not slept.
“Aren’t you going to rest?”
“I’m worried that the murderer will attack.”
Michael said helplessly: "I'm not lying to you, no one dares to attack the carriage in the Mage Tower."
"Usually you will be attacked suddenly after saying this." When saying these words , Annan is even ready to summon the blue dragon.
As a result, time passed and nothing happened.
Michael looked at him funny, and Annan no longer insisted, imitating Michael and meditating on the slightly swaying carriage.
……
In the afternoon, Annan was woken up by Michael.
They are not far from their destination.
When the carriage stopped at the goblin road sign, what greeted them was a dirty-faced goblin screaming and holding a spear.
"What do you damn mages want to do!"
"Hello...it's me."
Annan greeted it from the window, trying to assuage the goblin's hostility.
"It's you..." The goblin dropped his spear a little, then raised it again, and shouted sharply: "You are in the same group as the human the day before yesterday!"
"I don't I know what happened, but it must be a misunderstanding." Annan asked it patiently, "Can you tell me what happened?"
The smart goblin came out of the thatched house under the tree and said to Annan: "Two. A female mage wanted to recruit us a few days ago. My companion refused her, and she insulted the goblins and unleashed magic on my companions."
Annan looked at the angry goblin with a dirty face.
To make the cowardly goblin so angry, one can fully imagine how arrogant Flora was.
