Chapter 130: A Visitor from Far Away
Torrential rain poured down.
The carriage sped down the muddy road, bringing up a stream of muddy water.
"It's getting heavier and heavier."
Looking out the window at the dense clouds, Jenn sighed, then withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes and leaned back on the soft sofa seat. Although the cold wind outside the carriage blew in through the gap from time to time, the warm glow of the magic crystal hanging on the roof of the carriage easily dispelled the cold in front of him.
This magic carriage was purchased by Jenn Tong Guò Claris from the Demon Realm before leaving Stormwind City, and it cost him 100,000 gold coins.
Unlike those ordinary carriages that have to endure bumps just by sitting up. The carriage was made entirely of magic, pulled by a tall warhorse with nightmare blood, and a farrier that allowed them to gallop like a fly. Balance runes etched into the wheels allowed the carriage to move smoothly even on the harshest of ground, the tall carriage could seat four people, and the seats were made of soft velvet and covered with heavy fur. Magic crystals hanging from the roof of the car not only illuminate the dimly lit cabin, but also emit enough heat to dispel the chill of the night. Not only that, but the entire carriage is also attached to the outside of a layer of magical protection, which can resist malicious attacks and sneak attacks.
That's why Jenn was able to stay in the carriage leisurely outside with thunder roaring and torrential rain, enjoying a comfortable environment that is almost comparable to that of a high-speed train. It's just that the cost of this kind of enjoyment is also extremely high, and the magic carriages are not something that everyone can sit on, because the materials used in these magic carriages are quite expensive, and it takes a lot of time and effort to make them. The cost of the carriage was also quite high. Don't look at the 100,000 gold coins that don't sound like much, in fact it's on the main plane. It is difficult to say whether the lords of many small territories have a tax of 50,000 gold coins a year. If you take it to Earth to convert, it will not be a problem to buy a small private jet.
But now Jenn is not short of money. He had taken the entire fortune of Morsoblais, and now there was almost too much money to spend. Because of this, Jenn also uncharacteristically began to make a big move. Of course, in addition to the carriage, he and Clarice agreed on their intention to hire ten maids of elven blood as his assistants on the main plane.
The only reason why the two sides haven't made a decision to pay for the money and deliver the goods with one hand is that Clarisse said that the maids were only responsible for taking care of Jenn's daily life, and that if Jenn needed other services such as warming the bed and killing enemies and eavesdropping, he would need to pay extra money. Jenn expressed his disgust at the way the base game and DLC were released separately, and strongly demanded that they be bundled together and given a certain discount, which Clarisse obviously could not accept. So the two sides had to put the deal on hold for the time being, and wait until later.
Enoa didn't go to Eagle Plateau with Jenn, Werner is now taking over Brandon Stone, and Jenn needs Enoa to watch over the dungeon. In fact, life in Brandon Stone City is not easy now, not to mention the death of Kadek, and in the battle with the temple, the warriors of the gray dwarves were also killed and wounded under the bombardment of Patilina's cannons. Because of this, these gray dwarves had little power to fight back against Vilna, who had parachuted in with more than thirty dark elves to take over Brandon Stone City -- plus those alien minions, the gray dwarves already knew exactly what choice they should make.
Anyway, the gray dwarves are not without slaves of other races. Practice makes perfect for them.
Jenn has decided to go back to the main city to start the summoning road again to expand his army after building a sub-base on the surface, and his population level will also increase after the dungeon is upgraded to level 4, but the alien is worthy of being a population killer, and he ate up his "special creature" population in the first place. Now the number of these aliens has reached a hundred. It can be regarded as the backbone of Jenn's dungeon.
It's a pity that up to now, no alien queen has evolved in this group of aliens, and they can't even control the population.
Thinking of this, Jenn couldn't help but shake his head. And at this very time. A slightly curious inquiry rang in his ear.
"What's the problem? Master? ”
"Nothing, Elise. It's just that I think some idiots are acting too stupidly. ”
Hearing Elise's inquiry, Jenn looked up. He glanced at Elise and Bix, who were sitting across from him. After a few days of life on the surface, the former seems to have completely gotten used to the qiē here. The latter was still a little uneasy, but Bix was slightly better off than the puppy who couldn't find its owner, probably because the clouds were covering the sky, so the little guy was much calmer than before.
"How's your doing?"
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Elise couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she nodded hurriedly.
"Ok, host. I'm almost familiar with the mana fluctuations on the surface, so I shouldn't have any more spell errors..............."
Speaking of this, Elise's voice couldn't help but become much quieter, and finally even lowered her head with a red face to secretly peek at the man in front of her. It's no wonder that Elise has such a appearance, before this, in order to conduct a spell experiment, Elise had tried to open a heterotopic plane passage, but because she didn't master the fluctuation guide of surface magic, the magic went wrong. Turning the original summoning spell into a body incineration spell -- fortunately, due to the low level of magic, it only burned Elise's clothes and did not cause any damage to her.
Or, strictly speaking, not causing physical harm would be a more accurate description.
"Take your time, it's a bit of a tricky process, but once you get used to it, you'll get to the next level of mastery of magic."
Sensing Elise's abnormality, Jenn didn't say much, but comforted her. Unlike Elise, Jenn's magic comes from the dungeon system, and he follows a simple and crude path, and the difference in magic between the surface and the dark regions is not a problem at all in Jenn's opinion.
"Shhh
Just then, a crisp neighing of horses came from outside. Through the heavy rain curtain reached Jenn's ears. Hearing this, Jenn reached out. Gently pushed down his glasses.
They have arrived.
When Jenn's carriage entered Passus, it inevitably caused a wave of confusion. At first, the conscientious militia saw the carriage without a driver and wondered if it could be a frightened carriage. It was not long before their eyes were drawn to the luxurious and elegant patterns and patterns on the carriage. Before the guards could come to their senses, the wagon rushed into the town in the midst of a torrential rain. And the militiamen, who came to their senses, also rushed forward in a hurry, for fear that the carriage, which looked uncontrollable, would hit somewhere in the town.
But to the surprise of the militiamen, the carriage did not go on a rampage as they thought, on the contrary, it gradually slowed down and then stopped in front of the hotel in the middle of the town.
It's late afternoon at this moment, because of the torrential rain. Most people have already returned to their homes to rest. However, there are still many people who spend time in the tavern. The appearance of this extraordinarily luxurious carriage immediately attracted their attention, and even the pouring rain could not stop their enthusiasm, and these guests walked out of the tavern one after another, staring curiously at the carriage in front of them. For them, the carriage, which was completely white, without a trace of dirt, and exuded a soft magical light, was as if it had fallen from the sky, and the beauty was intoxicating.
It wasn't until the tavernkeeper came and yelled at the guys who had drunk too much that the people dispersed. But they still hid under the eaves, staring at the carriage in front of them with curiosity.
And as everyone watched, the door of the carriage slowly opened.
Jenn stepped out of the carriage and squinted his eyes to look around. The carriage's magical barrier formed a perfect layer of protection against the pouring rain. Seeing Jenn get out of the carriage, the tavern owner also hurried up to meet him. greeted each other with a smile on his face.
"Hello. Distinguished guests. Welcome to Sweet Wine & Honey Hotel, what can we do for you? ”
"Prepare us for two rooms. The room should be clean, the sheets and utensils should be brand new and be sure to be put away. By the way, prepare some fruit wine, warm it. Serve you all the best food here, and if you can please me, then you can't do without it. ”
Hearing his boss's words, Jenn glanced at him, then reached out and threw out a gold coin. And after receiving this gold coin, the boss suddenly showed an excited smile on his face.
"When, of course, guest, please come with me and I will prepare the best room here for you........."
If there is money to open the way, then the rest is naturally easy to say. In order to welcome this distinguished guest, the boss drove all the drunken drunkards home. Then he ordered his attendants to quickly clean up the table to provide the best environment for Jenn and the others. Of course, he didn't forget to kick his fat woman's ass and let her take her daughter with the same bucket size to tidy up the guest room.
"Rest assured, distinguished guests, we will prepare the most sumptuous dinner for you, this is the season of the blueberry harvest, and I think you will enjoy the blueberry wine. By the way, we also have roast venison and tender salmon here, which is guaranteed to satisfy a few ................"
While rubbing his hands and beckoning Jenn and the others to take a seat, the boss smiled enthusiastically and introduced the situation of Passus to Jenn endlessly.
"I wonder if you're here to stay in Passus? Or is there something? As long as it's a matter of Passus, there's nothing I old John doesn't know..............."
"We're here to find someone."
Hearing the boss's words, Jenn took off his foggy glasses, wiped them lightly with a flannel cloth, and then spoke.
"You know Cotton. Where is the Black family? ”
"Blake............ Black............ Do you mean the Black family? ”
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, the boss frowned and recalled for a moment, and then remembered something and suddenly spoke.
"Oh, honored guest, you came in time, if it were a few days late, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen them."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn raised his eyebrows.
"What's going on?" (To be continued......)
