"However, the task you asked us to find his whereabouts has made some progress."
"Where is he?"
"In the city of Bara."
"Sure?"
"The guards guarding the city said that they saw him enter the city with their own eyes."
Hagrid raised his thick black eyebrows, anger surged on his face: "He actually has the guts to come to Bala City?!
Are you looking down on me? "
"Maybe it's for the maze that's about to open."
Suppressing his anger, Hagrid thought deeply with a gloomy face.
The maze will be open in seven days. I have to set off for the royal capital in three days, and all the fanatics must accompany me.
If he stays in the city for these three days, I won't be able to do anything to him.
Yes...got it.
Hagrid smiled and said, "Go tell the Marvin Magic Family to help me deal with a lone wizard.
The next bishop of Bara will be their staunchest friend.”
"But, Potter will follow the clues and find us. Then, do we have to stay in the city forever?"
"Don't worry." Hagrid turned and faced the statue. "It won't be long before he goes to see our god."
……
Zhang Mu walked out of the portal and landed at the hotel.
He took out the wooden box hidden under the bed and opened it. All the herbs had absorbed the magic power and mutated. They were perfect.
Without wasting time, he immediately took out the portable gas stove from the inventory, lit it and put the pot on.
Time passed quickly, from the busy early morning to the evening, and all the herbs turned into bottles of medicine.
Most of them are magic potions and healing potions, and a small part are potions that control the progression of lung cancer.
I took out some and put them in the storage bag, stuffed the rest into the inventory, put away the gas stove, and walked all the way to the Clover Tavern.
Push the door and enter the store.
Compared with daytime, all the seats in the hall are occupied at this time.
Although not every seat was occupied, he felt that no adventurer would be willing to share a seat.
I went to the bar and asked, and found out there was an empty private room on the second floor.
But he came to the pub to get news, there was no point in asking in the box.
There was no other choice, so he simply ordered a glass of wine, leaned against the bar, drank it while paying attention to the chattering of the drinkers around him, and found an adventure group that was in urgent need of potions.
The drinkers changed in waves, and there were some who were short of medicine, but the one they urgently needed was nowhere to be found.
He tried to strike up a conversation with an adventure group that seemed to be short of magic potions.
As a result, as soon as he approached and hadn't opened his mouth yet, the other party all stood up, stared at him for a while, pushed away the chair and walked out of the pub.
Zhang Mu's eyes twitched, and he simply sat alone at the table vacated by the adventure group, waiting for an adventure group that would be more friendly or at least willing to communicate.
In the end, after all the drinkers in the hall had left, they still didn't see the target.
Well, I am also impressed by these magicians and knights. No one in the city is using force, so why are they trying to prevent thieves?
I got up and went to the bar to pay the bill.
The maze will open in seven days, which means there are still five days left not counting today. Let's go again tomorrow.
Zhang Mu pondered in his heart and pushed the door open and walked out.
Almost at the moment the store door closed, Frederica's lower legs appeared on the stairs leading to the first floor.
Wow, the fruit wine in this pub tastes really good.
Savoring the moment, she walked down the stairs, took out a copper coin to pay for the wine, and walked out the door with her hands behind her back.
……
Zhang Mu's pace back to the hotel was not very fast.
The scenery of the city was pretty good, so he simply slowed down and looked at the night view of the streets to relax.
Ordinary people feel okay and are not so wary of each other.
They glanced left and right and muttered to themselves, but they seemed to be quite wary of magicians and would avoid them when they saw them.
This street lamp stays on all night long. What kind of gem is used?
The lampposts and the basics of Kas Town... Speaking of Kas Town, have the townspeople also come to Bala City?
I think so. They left with Hagrid and it seemed they had nowhere else to go.
After all, there are about a thousand people, and the small towns around the city of Bala cannot accommodate this number of townspeople.
Is Leah in town too?
While I was thinking, I had already arrived at the hotel entrance.
He stopped, pinching his chin. Should he ask the guards in Bala City tomorrow?
The guards stood guard at the city gate every day, so they must know where the residents of Kas Town settled in Bala City. It happened that there was nothing else to do these few days.
Play with the cat girl during the day, and go to the tavern to find a more friendly adventure group in the evening. After seven days, the maze will open, so go in and look for magic books to improve your strength.
What a comfortable life this is?!
Slapping his thigh excitedly, Zhang Mu raised his foot to enter the hotel.
"Isn't this an interesting person... the interesting Mr. Zhang Mu?"
Who called me?
He subconsciously turned his head and saw an elf lady with a slightly tipsy face and slightly red ears standing across the road.
At this time, the elf lady wearing a skirt armor had a smile on her face and raised and waved her right hand to greet him.
Is it her? What's her name? Frederica.
I remember that she was easy to talk to, so there should be some conversation about purchasing information about the maze, right?
Now that we have a deal, we don't have to go to the pub tomorrow. Doesn't that mean... I can rub catgirls all day?!
Chapter 62: The pain will not disappear, it will only move
Sitting in the hotel lobby, on the sofa provided by the hotel for guests to rest, Zhang Mu looked at the drunken elf lady sitting on the sofa opposite him.
He complained in his heart that people are addicted to being bad.
The two sat down and chatted for a while. Zhang Mu learned that she was going to stay in this hotel and would leave the pub almost at the same time as him.
When he found out that the other person was so drunk after just drinking two glasses of fruit wine, he was speechless.
He had ordered fruit wine from the pub, which had an alcohol content of almost nothing.
Fortunately, she was still conscious and had no problem communicating.
"That's it." Zhang Mu finished speaking his thoughts and asked for her opinion. "I just need information about the usual locations where treasures are hidden in the maze.
Nothing else is needed.”
"As for the reward, I can pay with gold coins. If you don't need gold coins, magic potions and healing potions will also do."
Hearing the key word "potion", Frederica shook her head to get rid of the slight dizziness: "How many magic potions and healing potions do you have?
I hope to buy some.”
"Enough for ten people to stay in the maze for a week."
"So many?" She was a little surprised. "Did you stock up in advance?"
"Uh, no, I made it myself."
"Are you a pharmacist?"
"A little bit." Zhang Mu was a little anxious when asked, and waved his hand, "These are not important. How about the deal I proposed?"
Frederica stared at him without saying anything. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Can you tell me how you dealt with the monster tide in Kas Town?"
"Not counting the work done by me and my senior, a great knight came to help us along the way."
"I see." She leaned back on the sofa and asked in an inexplicable tone, "But in the eyes of the people of Cass Town, it was you who repelled the monster tide, right?"
"almost."
Recalling the scene that happened when she entered the city gate, she seemed to be asking Zhang Mu, or talking to herself: "What if the townspeople blame you for solving the monster tide?"
"It doesn't matter."
"I haven't blamed you for anything yet."
"I went to deal with the monster tide because I was the one who caused the trouble. Whether they blame me or thank me, I don't care at all."
"Okay Elf lady, can we get down to business now?"
"Oh." She finally noticed Zhang Mu's impatience and nodded, "I accept your deal, but I hope to change some details."
"What details?"
“Want to form a temporary adventure group?
It's dangerous for you to enter the maze alone. Joining our team will not only be much safer, but also make it easier to obtain treasures."
Zhang Mu's expression became confused. As a local elf, she must know more about the harsh social environment of the extraordinary people in the Thor continent than I do. She invites me to join a team?
Thinking about it, he scratched his head in confusion: "Why did you invite me to form a group?"
"Because." Frederica pressed her upper body towards him, staring at him, "I am very interested in Mr. Zhang Mu, who is full of mysteries."
"I have no secrets worth exploring."
Team up? A shit team.
