Chapter 42: Memories
A long time ago, when Yao Lao was still young, I don’t know whether it was 40 years ago or 50 years ago, Jiayi’s father Gary was not born yet. Yao Lao was still young and was not yet 20 years old. Yao Lao was not Yao Lao, but he was curious about the outside world and did not want to stay in this small place in Tamu Village for the rest of his life, just like his father and his father’s father.
At that time, there was a rumor that someone had seen a huge monster deep in the east of the Great Shandong. It was summoned by a wizard and was about to kill the villagers who were attached and take out their hearts and livers to make immortal medicine.
No one had seen that monster, but there were indeed multiple hunters who went deep into the mountains and never came back. They were panicked for a while. It was said that the lord sent his knights to lead the team out, but they still failed.
During that time, people talked about wizards, telling about the magical methods of wizards. It is said that wizards can bring people back from the dead and wading through fire as if they were just as casual. The young man's heart was always curious about these. Although he heard many legends of wizards, no one had ever seen them, even the legendary opponents of wizards, the heroes and monsters - although there were always rumors that the territory could kill any evil wizard.
If others have heard of it, just treat it as a fairy tale. For the legend of monsters in the mountains, they are more likely to be ferocious beasts, and there may be more than one. In the past, hunters entering the mountains died of being slapped into the mountains by brown bears and slamming their ribs on their chests.
But Yao Lao didn't think so many years ago. He felt that the world was so big and he was trapped in a corner, and there might be a wizard in which corner of the world. He hoped to find him.
One night, Yao Lao made up his mind to the blood-red moon in the sky and went out to find the real wizard.
He said goodbye to his parents, of course, he did not dare to say that he was going out to find a wizard. In the impression of the villagers, most wizards were cruel. He told his parents that he was going to the provincial capital to find an apprentice and learn a craft, and no longer trapped in the land.
He came to the provincial capital because it was the largest city nearest and the core of the entire Vifer Province. If there were really wizards, someone would probably know.
In order to make a living, he joined a pharmacy for sex. Although he had no salary, he had at least a place to live. Here, he came into contact with an adventure group - or an adventurer team.
The team went to find the son of a rich businessman who was lost in the mountains due to hunting, but ended up meeting a brown bear mate. Ah, the consequences can be imagined. The person walking in the front was slapped in the head on the spot.
They tried their best to kill two brown bears, but the rest were injured. The most serious one, Xiongbu, had a dent on the half-body breastplate, and the person was even photographed on the tree, with three broken ribs and bleeding inside. Fortunately, his life was great.
After a long time of contact, Yao Lao joined them and ventured with them and wandered around. Although he had never found a wizard, he did see a lot of people and things.
Until one day...
"Haha, guess what I've found?" Jimi, the only female member in the team, said to Yao Lao. Jimi is a thick woman, two heads taller than Yao Lao, and much stronger. She is not very beautiful, but because of her frequent exercise, she has a good figure. Most of the time, she wields two huge battle axes worth more than 30 kilograms, and is said to have the bloodline of the mountain barbarians in the east.
Yao Lao, a senior from the age of two, didn't know what she was going to say, and said, "How do I know what you found? Did you find any amazing treasures?"
"Although it's not a treasure, it's much more reliable than a treasure, and it's what you've been looking for." Yoshimi said to Yao Lao.
"Fortunately it's not a treasure. Last time you asked about the news that there was a treasure left by the bandits. I ran to an abandoned bandits' village and searched for a long time. Not only did I find anything, I also dug up the thief's fen pit. Fortunately, no one has used it for a long time."
"This time it's different. The news is accurate, and it's not a treasure. It's related to what you want the most, hahahaha..."
"It has something to do with what I want most, is it related to the wizard? He has always wanted to find a wizard to become a disciple. Yoshimi, stop playing the puzzle, just say it out." The person who spoke was Swaite. The hunter in the team was really a hunter. Hunter was able to distinguish the traces of prey, make traps, find water sources, and avoid wild beasts. His archery skills were also good. It seemed that he was a little impatient.
"I know you must be unable to help it first, and I don't know why you, a hunter, are so impatient. No wonder you have to take risks. You are scared away by you." Kitmei paused and continued to say.
"This time the news is absolutely reliable. Someone found an ancient ruin in the deep forest in the east, found a golden weapon, and brought it back. Moreover, it is said that they saw a person who could ignite out of thin air and fly, but disappeared in the blink of an eye. He suspected that he was a legendary wizard." Yoshimi told all the news he had found.
After hearing the news, the leader of the regiment Baden said to everyone: "Everyone tell me whether we want to go there."
"Of course I have to go. There are gold objects, and they are ancient gold objects. The nobles like this the most. If we can find two more, we can all retire." The speaker was Valyele, the shield warrior in the team, who owned the only steel armor in the team - although there was only half of the chest, the front defense was not enough. If he hadn't blocked the armor, he would never have survived.
To be honest, adventurers are definitely not a good profession. Of course, they can do well, but most of them struggle on food and clothing. After completing tasks, they spend two money on bars and women. Therefore, all adventurers have to do tasks continuously. If they meet big investors, they may be able to rest for one or two months. However, such tasks are generally dangerous, and every time a few people die in a big task, they are embarrassed to call them big.
This adventure team, plus the young Yao Lao, has a total of 5 people. Everyone is not young anymore, and Yao Lao has been joining the team for almost 5 years. Because Yao Lao has learned to collect medicine and make medicine and has a good medical skills, the adventure team's income has increased a lot - you don't need to go to a doctor for some simple injuries, and you can also take some herbs to subsidize during the adventure.
Yao Lao has been joining for several years. Although he has not had much combat power, it has indeed made the team's funds much more abundant. At least everyone has replaced the weapons and has made everyone have a leather armor. There is only one armor. It is not only expensive, but also related to it to be bought. If Baden and his team had not helped a down-and-out nobleman escape the pursuit of his enemies, they would not have been able to get that armor, and many noble knights were worried about their armor.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go to the ruins to try their luck. If they are lucky enough to get a few gold items, they will probably get 100 gold each after selling them. With so much money, everyone can retire and do some small business. After all, if it takes a few years, everyone will not be able to get a sword.
