Chapter 123 encounter
"I said this is a broken place. There is not even a breakfast shop along the way. Ah~ I'm starving to death..." Li Ao complained while rubbing his stomach. His stomach seemed to be responding to his master, making a "guzzling" sound, which caused Jane and Delai beside him to laugh.
Lianhua and his group were in the front and three, and they had already walked out of the small hotel for some time. As Li Ao said, I really didn't see a shop that bought breakfast along the way.
"Go to the Mercenary Hall to have a meal." Lianhua, who was walking in front, said.
"Hey~ Mercenary Hall, I'm eating bread again..."
"When it comes to bread, do we want to buy some dry food or something in the village? After entering the swamp, you can take it out to eat. There is not much inventory on the carriage." Lucy, who was walking beside Lianhua, looked at him and suggested.
"No, there are a lot of ingredients in the swamp." Lianhua replied, shook her head.
"Oh, the ingredients? Didn't you say yesterday that the things there are poisonous?"
"Don't worry, it's the ingredients to deal with poisoning."
"Really? That's not a blessing again! For the sake of this, just bread is just bread, it doesn't matter, hahaha~" Li Ao ran up from behind when he heard Lianhua's second half of the sentence, and threw himself on Lianhua, hooked Lianhua's shoulders, and pressed the weight of his whole body on Lianhua.
"..." Lianhua ignored Li Ao, but instead reached out to pat him with his hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so hungry that I can't walk anymore. Hua, you can't let me borrow some force." As he said that, Li Ao reached out his hand again.
"If you want to eat only dry food in the swamp, come on." Lianhua said coldly.
"..." Li Ao's hand froze in the air and did not fall down for a long time.
"There are indeed many good ingredients in the swamp, and they can also be used as medicinal materials. I will collect some at that time." Delai said behind.
"My master's notes also mentioned that there are many other research records about the wailing swamp. I have read it again in the past few days. One of them is very interesting. The wailing swamp was not a swamp a long time ago." Jane said.
"Oh~ It's not a swamp? What is that?" Lucy and Li Ao asked at the same time.
“It used to be a grassland.”
"Prairie?" Lucy and Liao exclaimed.
"Prairie!" Lianhua's heart skipped a beat, turned to look at Jian and asked, "Is it called the Wailing Grassland before?"
"Yes, it's called the Wailing Grassland, but I don't know why it turned into the current swamp. This is not recorded in detail in Master's notes." Jian replied.
"Waoing Grassland...Waoing Grassland..." Lianhua remembered that the giant snake mentioned this name, "The giant snake also said that it is quite familiar with the wailing Grassland, so would that ruin really be..." Lianhua thought to herself.
"I have a question, why do they all start with wailing? Is there any special reason?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"Well, you will know naturally after you enter the swamp." Jane smiled mysteriously at Lucy, without answering her question positively.
"Hmm? Can't you say it now?"
Jane and Delay looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.
"Interesting, interesting. After you said this, I began to look forward to entering the swamp soon." Li Ao said loudly with a smile on his face.
"Don't you know Li Ao, don't you?" Lucy turned her head and looked at Li Ao and asked.
"I don't know, but I guess it's going to be very interesting." Li Ao shrugged without hesitation.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Lianhua, who was walking beside Lucy, turned to look at her and said, "Remember what I said to you yesterday."
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked in a naughty way.
"You have to stay by my side after entering the swamp."
"Hehehe~ I know." Lucy nodded with a smile.
In the darkness behind Lianhua and his group, there were always four pairs of eyes staring at them.
...
Because Waizawa Village is close to the wailing swamp, there are many tasks in the mercenary hall here and the task level has been improved. However, most of them are escort supplies or herbal tasks at the "d" level and "e" level, and some are collection tasks at the same level. In order to facilitate the mercenaries to view the tasks, the mercenary hall specially placed two bulletin boards. Don't look at it's early morning. When Lianhua and his group pushed the door and entered, there were already many people standing near the bulletin board.
"Oh, there are so many people here so early. The Mercenary Hall is so lively no matter where it is!" Li Ao screamed with excitement, which attracted a look of others.
The others looked disgusted and ignored Li Ao and walked to the rest area in a straight line, found an empty seat with five people with a table and sat down.
As soon as Li Ao sat down, he called a waiter and said, "Please bring me eight bread."
"Eight bread..." The others looked disgusted again.
"Okay, do you have any other needs?" The waiter did not act surprised and asked at the others.
"You can do it if you have a silver coin for four people." Lianhua took out a silver coin and threw it to the waiter.
The waiter was very skillful to catch the silver coin and bowed, "Okay, sir, please wait."
"Wait," just as the waiter was about to turn around and leave, Li Ao stopped him, "I don't want the eight breads of mine. One silver coin is 5 people, hahaha~"
"This?" The waiter looked at Lianhua with uncertainty. After all, he paid the money, and in order to avoid trouble, he still needed his consent.
Lianhua understood the waiter's meaning and nodded to him. With this sign, the waiter stopped saying anything and turned around and walked away.
"Hua, you don't say it early if you want to treat it. If you say it earlier, I will be able to figure out what to eat on the way." Li Ao looked at Lianhua with a complaining look on his face and said.
"..." Lianhua was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"If Lianhua had said it earlier, I guess a silver coin would not be enough." Jian said to Li Ao from the side.
"Not enough, definitely not enough." Delai agreed with a smile.
"Hmph~ I'm not eating you."
"I really want to study it and see what's going on with your stomach!" Delai leaned forward, his eyes curled up to look at Li Ao's stomach.
Li Ao was seen coldly behind his back, and quickly covered his stomach with his hands and leaned back, "Don't think about it!"
"That's a pity." Delai shrugged his shoulders and looked regretful.
"Not a pity at all."
Just as everyone was joking before the meal, the waiter came back and brought five glasses of milk, nine sandwiches, six hot dogs and a plate of bread piled up into hills.
"If you still need it, please call me again." After putting down the food, the waiter bowed and left.
Li Ao was completely unpolite. The others were still sharing milk. He had already eaten a sandwich with his left hand and a hot dog with his right hand. He was still chewing bread in his mouth.
"No one is fighting with you in Liao, please slow down." Lucy reminded her kindness.
"Um, um, um," Li Ao responded, but everyone couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
Lianhua and others, led by Li Ao, ended quite quickly. After a while, the table was cleared, including the plate of bread. There were at least seven to eight of the plates. Lianhua ate one, and the others were all in Li Ao's stomach.
"Let's go, let's go and see the mission." Li Ao didn't forget to do the job after he was full.
"What kind of task are you going to take on this time?" Jane asked, looking at Li Ao who stood up.
"I haven't thought it through, Hua, do you have any suggestions?"
"The mission of escorting supplies to Marsh Town is preferred." Lianhua also stood up as she said that.
"If there are many tasks, we can take two of them, and then you and I will be the other one." Li Ao said to Lianhua.
"It depends on the situation." Lianhua said and walked away, walking alone towards the bulletin board where there were relatively fewer people on the side.
Li Ao and Jane went to the other side.
"Drey, why don't you go with me?" Lucy, who was staying at the table, looked at Drey and asked.
"I have no interest in doing tasks." Delay shrugged. "Where are you? You really want to go there, right?"
"How do you know?" Lucy asked in surprise.
"You have glanced at the other side for several times, hahaha~" Delay smiled and looked forward, looking at Lucy, "What's your reason?"
When Lucy was having breakfast, she found that she had come. She was feeling uncomfortable at this moment, but she couldn't tell Draming about this. "That, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Don't feel comfortable? Come on, give me your wrist and I'll show you." When Delai felt uncomfortable, he quickly reached out to grab Lucy's wrist.
"Haha~ I'm so troubled. I'll just not need it. I want to sit for a while and it will be fine." Lucy apologized and shrank back and dodged.
"Not bothering, no trouble at all." Delay obviously didn't give up so easily.
"Hey~ Isn't this Brother Lucy and Brother Ryder? Why are you two? What about the other guys? We are really destined to be together! We just parted last evening and met again early this morning, hahaha~" A familiar voice came from behind the two.
Lucy and Dray turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Sevin walking towards them with a smile while eating bread.
