Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 48: partnership

Back to the cemetery, I just met Shuggs who came up to the ground to breathe.

Sol recounted the news he had collected in the town.

In fact, the town’s guard war tonight did not usher in the final victory.

At first, the defensive power of the town could be said that the battle was easy, but in the second half of the battle, with the appearance of the skeleton mage and archer, the battle situation gradually became more difficult.

Until the skeleton leader with the purple flame in his eyes came on the scene, the battle situation reached a terrible point in a blink of an eye.

There was a lot of casualties on the human camp, but watching the scale of victory tilted towards the enemy, most people sighed in their hearts, and everyone barely supported it to the end.

Later, at a certain time, the enemy leader suddenly took the lead and left the battlefield for unknown reasons, and then the ordinary skeletons also evacuated one after another, and the direction of their evacuation was still the west of the time they came.

But what is there to the west of Grayscreen?

The only thing people can think of is the Yar Mine at the foot of the Grams Mountains. There are two small mercenary groups stationed there to maintain the order of the mine, but there is a large plain between the mine and the town of Gray Screen.

So the question is, where do these enemies come from? Where did he evacuated? Go back to the grave to sleep?

Everything seems to be trapped in a mystery, hidden in the depths of darkness.

Seeing the enemy calmly exiting the field, no one dared to pursue it, even in the form of a squad of adventurers, not even daring to be far behind the opponent.

Fighting deep into the wilderness in the dark is inherently an extremely dangerous thing. What's more, the skeleton leader's flexible and powerful skills and strong self-awareness like human wisdom have left an extremely deep and terrible impression on the people participating in the defense of the town.

In the end, everyone can only vent their inner emotions through curses and drinks, and sweep the battlefield angrily.

It can be said to be similar to the results of Thor and others, except for a few disgusting carrion corpses, they did not kill anything all night.

"You said that the skeleton leader... is the old liar nestling in the barn... Oh, that is, the old man we met in the cold winter? Your mentor? Are you sure?"

Shuggs grasped the main point of Saul's topic with his usual keenness and accuracy, and asked questions with an incredible expression on his face.

Sol Mo nodded.

"One right hand, one left leg, with a sword. The possibility of three coincident overlappings is at least 80%."

After hearing Saul's answer, Shuggs lowered his head and fell into a divergence of thinking.

Saul had studied with the old man for three days, but Shuggs himself did not have much intersection with the old man except for the first encounter.

Later, Shuggs heard Saul mentioned the physical condition of the old man, and he also knew that the old man left the town at the last moment of his life and chose to bury the wilderness.

How long does it take for a person's body to rot in the wilderness?

Oh, maybe he won't even have the chance to rot at all, maybe he has been eaten up by all kinds of beasts, insects and birds.

Soon Shuggs looked up in shock.

Suddenly, he thought with great horror and realized that the point of the problem was not the trivial matter of how long the corpse would rot, but why a person suddenly became a walking monster after death, and the other party was barely a half-acquaintance.

It seems that there is a strong evil atmosphere invisible.

"Then what are you going to do?" After a long time, Shuggs put aside the chaotic thoughts and recovered from a series of mental shocks.

"Don't do anything, maybe when I have enough strength one day, I will personally go deep into the wilderness, then find him, kill him, ... let him rest in peace."

Thor's eyes were a bit deep, as if he had crossed the retaining wall and penetrated the vast darkness, into the depths of the wilderness.

——————

In the following days, some strange remarks began to circulate in the town.

Some people say that this land is sick, and the land is gradually decayed.

Some people say that too many dead people are too attached to this world and are unwilling to die completely.

Some people reiterated the old things and questioned the commercial behavior of the town of Gray Screen to freely buy and sell corpses.

For a time, opinions were divergent, and in the unstable atmosphere, a small number of timid people began to escape from the doomed place of Gray Screen Town.

In the end, Elton, the elder of the town, made a decisive move and quietly sent a mercenary to unscrew a few talkative heads to get the order back on track, and various rumors gradually ceased.

Every time before dawn, there are still persistent skeletons crawling out of the ground in the cemetery of the monastery. Just watching them go around their graves in a dull way, it is difficult for people to connect them with the powerful enemies that came that night. together.

Again, as long as the world is not destroyed, life will continue.

After Lotton was injured that night, Sol sent Waller to send a message to Lotton's house. After a day of recuperation, Lotton finally regained consciousness.

Except for the slight inconvenience of movement, Lorton is recovering well, and will come down to sit in the bottom of the well from time to time these days. Every time Vale followed him, he seemed a little bit inexplicably excited, as if he regarded this dry well as something like a secret base.

Although the location of this dry well is relatively hidden, everything at the bottom of the well is very ordinary, and there is nothing that can be called a secret, except for the potion extraction tools stacked in the corner and the swollen iron pot.

This is also the reason why Thor invited Lorton and Waller to come today.

Originally, Sol planned to quietly and Shuggs to take a batch of potions at the right time, but Luoton was suddenly injured that night. After a panic rescue, Sol mastered pharmaceutics and was put on the surface. .

There are two more people who know, which means that the matter of drug trafficking will become complicated, and some instability factors will also be added invisibly.

So in the past two days, Thor thought of a way, and this was the scene where the four people gathered together.

Vale spread the roast chicken and steaks that he had brought on the ground, and everyone took part in the dinner.

"Thank you for saving my life." Lorton first raised his glass to Saul.

"You shouldn't have died." Saul smiled and waved his hand, toasting and touching Lorton.

The atmosphere during the banquet was fairly warm.

After pushing and toasting several times, Saul mentioned the topic.

"Last year I was an apprentice in Buddy Moore's pharmacy, and finally I was lucky to learn the preparation of primary potions."

"As far as the current business environment in Gray Screen Town is concerned, the medicine is temporarily blank in the short term. This is a good business opportunity."

"So I am going to prepare a batch of potions to make quick money from it, and prepare in advance for Shuggs and I to leave the monastery with the source of the monastery. If you are interested, I think you can join in and do this together. "

When the voice fell, Sol raised his glass toward Luoton, while quietly scanning the expressions of the two with his sight.

Waller lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Lorton's expression was very calm. After clinking glasses with Thor, he immediately continued:

"What do we need to do?"

Lorton's words are talking about ‘us’, as if his one-person decision can represent the will of two people, but in terms of the loyalty of Waller, this is nothing surprising.

"You don't have to do anything. Schuges and I are responsible for the production of batches of medicines and solving sales problems. You only need to invest 20 silver coins each for the collection of initial medicine materials to increase the scale of production and expand subsequent profits. "

"I have no problem here." Luoton smiled. Given the family conditions behind him and Waller, twenty silver coins are not a lot of money.

Seeing Lorton's statement, Waller was stunned for a moment and then quickly nodded.

"Then, in terms of profit distribution, Shuggs and I each get 30%, you and Waller..."

Valer interrupted Sol before he could finish speaking. Valler stood up, pointed at Schugs and said:

"We don't have a problem with funding. It's not a problem if you get 30% as the initiator and the source of production, but why should Schuges get 10% more than us?"
