Chapter 31: First Meeting with Little Medical Fairy
Chapter 31: First Meeting with Little Medical Fairy
Qingshan Town, also known as Warcraft Town, is adjacent to the Warcraft Mountains. Mercenaries who work hard all year round roam the town. They gather in groups, form gangs, and talk about everything on the streets: sleeping with the most beautiful women, drinking the strongest wine, and killing the most ferocious Warcraft.
It was near noon, the sun was blazing, and a young man walked in from outside the town gate. Because he was wearing a half-face mask, his exact age could not be seen, but from his white chin, it could be seen that he was very young, a teenager.
The young man was wearing a black silk robe and carrying a strange long sword. Although the blade could not be seen clearly, the hilt alone showed that the sword was extraordinary. He was wearing a half-face mask. Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, the angle of his chin alone showed that he had an extraordinary appearance. He was seen walking on the bluestone street, looking left and right as if he was looking for something.
Walking on the bluestone street, Xiao Se, wearing a mask and carrying a magic sword, naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, he didn't care. He crossed two streets and finally arrived at the first destination, "Wan Yao Zhai".
As you walk into the spacious shop, the air is filled with a strange medicinal fragrance that makes you feel relaxed and happy.
Seeing Xiao Se coming in, the young waiter who was having lunch put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and greeted him with a professional smile, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Sniffing the medicinal fragrance in the store, Xiao Se said calmly, "Which area is the Huanglian Essence in?"
Hearing about Coptis chinensis essence, the young clerk curled his lips in disdain and pointed to the corner of the store, "Coptis chinensis essence is a low-level medicinal material, one hundred gold coins each, go and pick one yourself!" After saying that, he turned back to the counter and continued to pick up the dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Se nodded slightly, not paying attention to the clerk's condescending attitude. He walked to the corner to make his choice. No one greeted him, so he had some free time.
Xiao Se kept scanning the mountains of Yellow Lotus Essence but was greatly disappointed. It was obvious that he did not have the luck of Xiao Yan, the son of destiny in the original novel, who could easily find a piece of Blood Lotus Essence.
Just when he was about to pick up two pieces of Coptis essence to get by, a light and pleasant voice rang out from the second floor of Wanyaozhai, "Agui, I'm going to the Magic Beast Mountain Range with the herb-collecting team this afternoon. Please help me collect the herbs that are drying in the backyard."
Xiao Se turned his head to look for the source of the voice and a pretty girl came into his sight.
This is a beautiful girl, wearing a light blue corseted dress. She has a pure and elegant temperament and a faint smile on her face, giving people a fresh and ethereal feeling.
In terms of beauty, she may not be as beautiful as Long Kui and Xun Er, but her willow waist, bound by a green belt, is the most slender that Xiao Se has ever seen. Even Long Kui's petite and fragile body is not as beautiful as hers. She can be held in one hand, giving people a stunning feeling. It seems that it will be broken by the wind.
"Leave it to me, Little Medical Fairy." The young clerk who had previously served Xiao Se patted his chest.
"Yeah." The girl, who was called Little Medical Fairy by the young clerk, nodded slightly and walked out of the store.
Staring blankly at the figure of the departing Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Se touched his chin and immediately came up with an idea. He immediately picked out a few pieces of Coptis essence of good quality and took them to the counter. While paying, he said, "Young man, can I ask, I just heard that girl say that the herb-collecting team will go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to collect herbs. Are all your herbs collected from the Magic Beast Mountain Range?"
The young clerk took the large bag of gold coins from Xiao Se's hand, and when he saw the storage ring in his hand, his disdain subsided a little, and he replied, "Well, the Magic Beast Mountain Range has a very rich source of medicine. Every once in a while, our Wanyaozhai will spend a lot of money to recruit mercenaries to act as guards and go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to collect medicine. We will set off in half an hour, and I guess it has already started now. The location is at the entrance of the town."
Xiao Se nodded slightly, put the Huang Lian Jing into his ring, walked out of the medicine shop, and walked straight to the town gate.
From a distance, a commotion could be heard.
A middle-aged man was beating gongs and drums and shouting, "Wanyaozhai is going to the Monster Mountain Range to collect herbs. We are recruiting fifty mercenaries with a fighter strength of two stars or above. The reward is 500 gold coins each. First come, first served."
Most of the mercenaries watching the scene were dismissive of the middle-aged man's shouting. For five hundred gold coins, I'll run to the World of Warcraft Mountains with you and work hard for you. Are you sending away beggars?
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and added: "The Little Medical Fairy will also come with us this time."
After hearing the name of Little Medical Fairy, the mercenaries who had been indifferent looked at each other for a while, and the mercenaries who thought they were strong enough rushed towards the middle-aged man.
Looking at the mercenaries who suddenly swarmed up, Xiao Se chuckled. It seemed that even though it was four years earlier, Xiao Yixian's reputation in Qingshan Town was still very popular. He then desperately squeezed into the crowd.
The 50 spots were so many that the mercenaries fought tooth and nail to get the chance to sign up early. However, Xiao Se relied on his evasive ability to move forward and rushed to the front.
"The last spot." The middle-aged man smiled and knocked on the gongs and drums in his hands, smiling at the crowded crowd.
"Count me in!" The masked boy's hurried voice sounded in front of the middle-aged man.
Staring blankly at the masked boy in front of him who was not very tall, the middle-aged man frowned and laughed dryly, "Young man, we require that we need a fighter with the strength of two stars or above. I think you are at most fifteen or sixteen years old. Is that okay?" The middle-aged man emphasized the age. In his opinion, the boy wearing a mask was most likely a member of a family who was afraid of exposing his identity and ran away secretly. They, Wanyaozhai, did not want to act as a babysitter, otherwise, if something happened, who knows what trouble would arise.
"Boy, have you been weaned? If you try to sneak out like others, be careful or your parents will spank you."
"Kid, if you know what's best for you, get out of the way and don't waste my time."
The last spot was taken, and some mercenaries who were attracted by Little Medical Fairy's reputation immediately started cursing.
Xiao Se ignored their insults and walked towards a nearby tree that was as thick as his calf. He raised his right leg, with a yellow fighting spirit covering it.
"Sky-splitting kick."
As Xiao Se roared in his heart, his right leg, with fierce strength and a sharp sound of breaking through the air, swept towards the tree.
"Crack!"
The big tree broke with a sound, and the broken part of the trunk flew out dozens of meters away, sliding on the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
"I wonder if you can join the herb-picking team with this kind of strength?" Patting his hands that were free of dust, Xiao Se smiled at the middle-aged man who was already stunned.
"Haha, of course you can. You have really good leg skills, little brother. Even a three-star fighter would have to temporarily avoid the attack." The middle-aged man nodded in amazement, took out a bag of gold coins, and smiled, "The last spot is yours. Here are 250 gold coins. The rest will be given to you when you come back."
"Sure." Xiao Se casually took the gold coin and stood aside. His purpose was just to find the cliff in the original book through the herb-collecting team and see if he could forge a friendship with the Little Medical Fairy. He didn't care about the amount of the reward.
