Chapter 15 Small talk
After guessing whether the goods in the caravan were monsters or not, and giving Quan a popular science about slaves, and experiencing the joy of being a teacher, Asel began to teach Quan how to read.
Assel took out the newly bought book, "I really miss it. I had this book when I was very young, but I didn't expect it to be still on sale now."
Then this book is either very popular, or the updating of books here is too slow.
It's not a good idea to study in a rocking carriage, especially if ink is easily spilled on it, but there is nothing else they can do in the narrow carriage except study.
When you study hard, time always goes by quickly.
The caravan seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't stop to rest at noon. They didn't stop until evening.
Because they were on their way, they missed a place to stay, so this night, everyone still had to rest in the wilderness.When Quan got off the carriage, Carter had already taken the Benny brothers and Nance to set up night guards with the caravan guards, and Athel had gone to nowhere.
The people in the caravan were all busy and had no time to take care of a strange child they didn't know. Quan took Xanadu and waited in place for a long time before seeing Asel running back sneakily.
Quan was almost amused by his appearance: "What's wrong with you?"
Assel answered him triumphantly: "I just went to the carriage in front to take a peek, and wanted to see what their cargo was."
Quan: "You're just going to confirm this? Then there's no need to be so sneaky, right?"
"I'm curious, and I'm afraid they won't let me see it."
"Then did you see it, is it a monster?" In fact, Quan was also a little curious.
"It's monsters, and they're all monsters above Tier [-]." Athel whispered excitedly, "When I passed by, they were planning to feed them, so I happened to see them, and I don't know how they caught so many monsters. "
"It should be bought from someone else, right? This caravan doesn't look like it will capture it by itself." Although there are many guards in the caravan, those guards seem to be hired by the caravan, just like Carter Uncle and the others are all mercenaries.
Athel: "If so many monsters are brought to Ke Luo, they will definitely sell for a good price, and they seem to have more than just this kind of goods, as if there are many special products of the magic forest."
Quan's head was full of black lines: "...you are really clear about your inquiries."
"Hey, no, I just overheard it when I went to see Warcraft." Asel said embarrassedly, this time he really overheard it.
"Athel, Koizumi."
Hearing someone calling their names, the two turned their heads and saw that it was Carter.
"Uncle Carter, have you already discussed it?"
"Well, it has been arranged. We will guard the first half of the night with the guards, and other people will be in charge of the second half of the night. I just came to tell you this, and come over to ask you to have dinner together."
"It can't be barbecue again?" Assel had a bad feeling.
Carter nodded: "And dry bread."
"My God! We've only had two normal meals, and we're going to eat these again."
Assel was howling, and even Quan was a bit disgusted with barbecue, but he still comforted Assel: "It's okay, I have some fruit in my bag, do you want to eat?"
Of course, the fruit he was talking about was not the berries prepared for elves. There were many flavors in those berries that were not acceptable to humans.He was talking about the unknown wild fruits he found in the magic forest before, because the elves didn't like to eat those, but they found more fruits, so there are still a lot of them left.
In addition, there are a lot of snacks bought during the daytime shopping during the day - basically Assel bought them and stored them here.
Assel also remembered: "By the way, we also bought a lot of delicious food, so we can just eat those."
"No." Carter slapped his nephew bluntly, "Where can I get enough to eat only those? Come here quickly, and Koizumi is too. Don't learn from your elder brother Athel."
Quan walked a few steps, stopped again, looked back at Xanadu, and said to Carter: "Uncle Carter, you go first, I will go there later."
Carter looked at them and nodded clearly: "Hurry up."
When Quan passed by, the bonfires were ready, and the group of five gathered around one of the bonfires, grilling meat.
After Assel saw him, he waved his hand to signal him to come quickly, and saw that he was alone: "Didn't Xanadu follow?"
Quan sat down beside him, and Carter stuffed him with a piece of bread and roasted meat.
"I prepared food for it to eat in the carriage, after all, it doesn't like to eat barbecue."
"Stay in the carriage, I didn't expect it to let you act alone."
Arthur still thinks that Xanadu is Quan's "mother". ——Although Quan had already said that he had been adopted before, this incident still didn't stop Assel from thinking about it.
Quan smiled and said: "It's just that it won't be careful at this little distance, and aren't you still there?"
It sounds like a happy statement: "That's right, of course we'll take care of you."
Roger remembered a long-standing doubt: "But why doesn't Xanadu like to eat barbecue? I thought they would like to eat it very much. Speaking of which, Wind Speed Dog and Lightning don't seem to like it very much."
Every time they ate the small grain food prepared by Quan, they were willing to eat other things, and before that, even if there was barbecue in front of them, no one would open their mouths.
It’s possible to say that they don’t like cooked food, but if it’s raw meat, they’re not afraid of it. Shanaido can say that, after all, they are unknown monsters, but Wind Speed Dog and Lightning are both carnivorous monsters. It's strange how I like to eat meat.
Quan was about to answer, but Carter coughed heavily, and then glared at Roger, "Don't discuss this in this kind of place." He is such an outspoken kid, and he has already said not to discuss Quan's monsters in front of other people.
It was only then that Roger consciously made a slip of the tongue, and changed the topic with a haha.
"Xiaoquan, look at that." Athel suddenly touched Quan.
"What?" Quan, who was eating bread, looked up in the direction he indicated, but found nothing special.
"The carriage over there." Asel pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I just heard from someone in the caravan that the inside is the most valuable among all the goods. Although I don't know what kind it is, it must be very big. .”
Only then did Quan take a closer look at the carriage. Compared with other carriages, this carriage was much larger, and there were two more horses pulling the carriage than the other carriages. It can be seen that the monsters on this carriage were just like Asel said. Say it's a big guy.
Quan was about to look away, but a person not far from the carriage caught his attention.
Although he was still wearing the cloak and couldn't see clearly, Izumi saw the ring on the hand holding the food.
It was an ancient ring with a strange pattern, because the pattern looked like the silhouette of some kind of monster, so Izumi remembered it very clearly.
That was exactly what the young man in black was wearing in the magic item shop he saw during the day.
"Uncle Carter, who are those over there?" Quan asked Carter.
Carter looked at it and told him: "Those are the guards hired by the caravan, members of the Backblade Mercenary Group."
Roger sighed: "That is a B-level mercenary group with more than 500 members, and each member is at least a third-level or higher professional, which is much better than our adventure team that only has an F-level."
Carter patted him on the shoulder: "Cheer up, wait for your swordsman level to rise to another level, and you will be able to participate in the entrance test for a large mercenary group like Backblade."
"How can it be so easy to upgrade? Uncle Carter was only promoted to the third rank at the age of 30."
Carter was originally trying to comfort him, but now he was so angry that he wanted to hit him: "Boy, I'm really sorry that uncle was only promoted to the third level at the age of 30."
Roger shook his head again and again: "That's not what I mean, I just want to say that Uncle Carter who can reach the third level at the age of 30 is already very powerful! If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to do it."
"And I didn't think about going to any large mercenary group. Compared with Uncle Carter and everyone, the adventure team is more suitable for me. I also want to always act with everyone in the future."
Everyone was taken aback by what he said, and then Benny echoed, "You're right, I've always felt that there is nothing more suitable for us than Uncle Carter's adventure team."
Nance also made a rare long speech: "Although I haven't joined for a long time, compared with the mercenary group I stayed in before, I still like the life I have now, and I always feel more comfortable."
This adventure team is not very strong, but they feel very happy, so that's enough.
Everyone suddenly became emotional, Carter was stunned, and finally couldn't help but curse again: "Boys." This time, he cursed with a smile.
For a while, the atmosphere became very harmonious.
"How about it, isn't our adventure team great?" Athel lowered his head and asked Quan with bright eyes.
Quan nodded.
"In the future, I will also go on adventures with everyone like I do now."
Quan also had the same feeling. Although he is not a person who likes to wander around, it seems to be very good if he is with such a group of people.
