Whether it's stupid and brainless, or the trust after seeing people's hearts, the clerks and badges are placed in Old Tom's place. Fang Qiuling, the nominal lord, has actually become the shopkeeper, and the person who currently holds the power in the Agarwar Valley is Tom Hadna, the "lord's agent".

After Fang Qiuling left, as long as Old Tom had a heart, he could be the "uncrowned king" for once. No one cares if they are powerful in the valley of Agarwal. But there is nothing in the valley, and the village of the cat charm clan is even poorer. Not to mention the expropriation, it is estimated that the looted things are not enough for Old Tom to eat alone.

This summer's drought has wiped out the few farmlands in the village, and now that it's winter, it's hard to catch prey in the mountains. It can be said that the cat charms of the entire valley are waiting for the little ones who have gone out to trade to come back with food. If the herbs and leather don't fetch a good price, then the little ones who go out don't have to come back. I really don't have to come back, maybe there is still a way to survive outside, and I can only starve when I go back to the village, and I will definitely die!

I really want to be powerful in this place...... People who think this way are definitely caught in the door panel!

As the convoy continued to move forward, the weather became colder day by day. The goose-feathered snow fell one after another, and the road ahead was covered with snow.

When you first set off, you can catch pheasants and hares from the woodlands on the side of the road to feed. And now that the snow covers everything, it is already a very experienced hunter to not get lost in the woodland, and there is no need to talk about prey or anything......

For this reason, the kitten charms of the convoy silently quickened their pace - maybe the village was out of food, and they had to rush back as soon as possible!

Traveling in the wind and snow is undoubtedly hard. However, looking at the full convoy and thinking of the family members who are looking forward to it in the village, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it! What's more, the first batch of energy potions refined by the kitten charms have also been "freshly baked", and every little guy has received a lot.

When you are tired, take a small sip of energy potion. When you're hungry, take a sip of the spicy oil soup made from energy potions.

The dark gray liquid in the vial is undoubtedly the best stamina restorative, as long as there is no drug addiction and drug resistance, the stamina is unlimited! Even when necessary, it is poured directly into the mouth of the horse pulling the cart, and the energy potion is just as effective as the horse!

Fang Qiuling's alchemy course also continued in an orderly manner.

With a day to go to the valley, the lesson on energy potions was complete.

As an entry-level formula for alchemy, the refining of energy elixirs was not difficult in Fang Qiuling's eyes. Prepare the raw materials according to the ratio of Chinese herbs in the formula, and then continue refining step by step according to the refining process, and finally obtain the energy elixir.

After a few days of continuous practice, although there are still some stumbles, although they will make some mistakes from time to time, although a few little ones have pulled their stomachs for a whole day after testing the medicine. However, every little guy has passed the "final assessment" and can independently complete the refining of energy elixirs. The fresh alchemy apprentices are here!

The results achieved are excellent, and some of them are frightening.

The kitten charms went from nothing to the introduction to alchemy, during which there were only eight days. Most of those eight days were spent on the road. The kittens only have time to attend classes after camping every day, and the class time will not exceed two hour wheels, and the eight days add up to less than sixteen hour wheels. In other words, the total time spent by the kitten charms is less than a day!

This ability to train alchemists amazed fellow Pastor Tom, Lily, and Eddard. I wonder if Fang Qiuling secretly pried the kitten charm's head open and poured the knowledge of alchemy directly into it!

If nothing else, the Agarwal Valley will undoubtedly become the largest producer of magic potions in the Misty Lakes region, and the cats in the valley will soon become "cash cows on the move" in the eyes of merchants.

In the midst of heavy snowfall, the Agarwal Valley, nicknamed "Rabbit Valley" and "Rabbit Nest" by players, has finally arrived. Passing through the huge coniferous trees at the entrance to the valley, a village enclosed by a wooden fence came into view.

"We're back!"

"We've brought back a lot of stuff!"

"There's so much to eat!"

"We're all back!"

The kittens, who couldn't hold back their mood, shouted happily to the village and urged the horses to speed up.

With the shouts of the kitten charms, the originally uninhabited village immediately became noisy.

Several cat charms with completely gray hair appeared in the village. Their eyes are still as clear as kitten charms, but they are a little more calm; Their white fur is not the lustrous snow-white of Sino, but a little gray of twilight; Their bodies are no longer straight, because they are more or less hunchbacked, and even have some disabilities, because of the years of labor.

The one standing in the center...... It should be the oldest cat charm in the village. Wearing a tattered hat on his head and a short cane in his hand, his curled body was less than half the height of the other cats around him. He also walks staggeringly, and seems to fall if he is not careful.

"Oh, it's Eliza's back." Lao Meow pushed the hat on his head, revealing his pupils, which were already a little cloudy, "Well, well, I brought so many big friends back." Thank you so much. ”

"Great Elder, we're back!" Eliza grabbed a bag, jumped out of the carriage, and then jumped up and down to the old cat, "Come, open your mouth, ah! ”

"Oh, Eliza, you're ...... again"

Eliza didn't talk to the old cat charm, and directly picked out a small piece of jerky from the bag and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the great elder.

"Hmm!"

The kind-eyed Great Elder immediately choked.

A group of little ones, much smaller than Eliza's and seemingly just walking, also ran out of the house. They meowed and surrounded Eliza, shouting for hugs, for lifting, for meat.

Eliza was instantly overwhelmed by the smaller kitten charms......

The kittens in the convoy drove the carriage to the village warehouse. The four big men in the mouth of the old cat jumped off their horses and stepped forward to salute.

"Ahem, ahem...... the old cat Mei coughed again and again, and finally swallowed the jerky, and then returned the salute and said, "It's been a long time since a guest has come to visit the village, welcome." I'm Lai Nange Rune, the oldest thing in the village, may I ask who ......?"

"In Lower Sholik V. Norn, a troubadour who wanders about." Fang Qiuling took a half step forward and took the initiative to introduce himself, "This is the priest who serves the god of wind, Notos, Ed Jessils; This is the paladin under the command of the goddess of love, Lily, Lily Olosika von Bridges; This is ......"

"I don't need to introduce it, I'm familiar here." Old Tom squatted down and greeted the old cat in front of him, "Hey, old thing, I haven't seen you for a long time." You look a lot shorter! ”

"Oh, it's Tom boy, what are you doing in this place? There's no good wine to entertain you here, so you'd better go back where you came from. ”

"Humph! I helped the little ones deliver food from afar, and there was a lot of wind and snow along the way, and there was no hard work and hard work. That's your attitude? Just sent me away with just a few words? Is this your hospitality? ”

"Toily work? It's rare for you drunkard to do a serious job, so you can't help but start spreading the word around. Let's be honest, what is the purpose of your visit? Is there a trouble outside, come here to avoid the limelight? ”

"Trouble? Phew! You old guy don't do your business day by day, and you know that you are hiding in the valley. I've been out there desperately looking for work, but I'm not as lazy as you! ”

It can be confirmed that these two guys, who may have been more than one hundred and fifty years old together, are really familiar with each other. They don't stop talking to each other.

But before they could say a few words, Eliza, who had finished dividing the jerky, ran back. She didn't speak, just stood next to the two of them, and their vicious words came to an abrupt end.

"No more noisy, why don't you make noise?" Eliza crossed her hands on her hips at the moment, with a menacing look, "If you quarrel again, you two will be punished for not having food for a while!" ”

Fang Qiuling couldn't help but look at Eliza with admiration. Accustomed to seeing Eliza's well-behaved and clever appearance, I didn't expect her thin and small size to burst out with such a powerful aura.

Old Tom snorted and turned his head awkwardly. The old cat charm touched her gray beard and stopped talking.

"Brother Thulick, let's go and sit down in the house first. It's getting colder and colder outside. ”

"Good ......"

Just as he was about to go to the house to take shelter from the wind and snow, another team came from a distance. Most of them wore fur hats and carried bows and arrows on their backs. Judging from the dress, it should be an adult cat charm who went out hunting in the village.

"Hey! Little Kaka, how was the harvest today? ”

Old Tom shouted to the hunting party from afar.

The leader of the hunting party, the Cat Charm, looked up and waved at Old Tom, but did not answer.

However, it didn't take long for the hunting party to reach the village. The male cat ghost, known as Kaka, unloaded the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to his companion, and after a few words of conversation, he walked over.

The leader of the hunting party was extremely strong, and his powerful limbs could be seen when he removed his bow and arrows and his cloak. Especially the arms, the bulging muscles are like two stones, and it is definitely a bodybuilding meow!

"Mr. Hadner, it's been a long time, how are you doing? Come to me at night, there's a fat pheasant. Just hit. ”

"Okay, I'm sure I'll be there!" Old Tom laughed and replied, "I've been doing quite well lately, and I've made several good deals." ”

"Buying and selling?" Kaka frowned, "I remember when you big men said 'buy and sell', you all meant that...... Robbery? Mr. Hadna, you must have committed something to take refuge here! ”

"Huh?" Old Tom was visibly stunned for a moment, but then he laughed and followed Kaka's words, "That's right. Committed no small thing. You see, this is not here to avoid the limelight. I'm going to stay a few more days and wait until the spring of next year before leaving. ”

"Looks like I'm right. Mr. Hadner, you ......."

As Kaka got closer, he noticed that there were not just old Tom as a visitor, but also several other big men.

The closest one was a man in a priest's robe. This style of priest's robe has been seen many times in the bazaar, and is decorated by the priest Notos, the god of wind. Then the one in front of him is undoubtedly the priest of Notos.

The man next to the priest was dressed in a black leather suit and a cloak, and looked very kind. Judging by his attire, he appears to be a bard. However, bards are generally flamboyant and unorthodox, but this man has a straight waist and stands straight, and at first glance he knows that he is a strong character. Who is he? Especially the one standing behind this person - long snow-white hair, bright red pupils, very beautiful! However, red pupils are taboo among the cat charms, believing that they are an ominous son who will bring disaster, and a disaster born in a curse.

Kaka glanced at it a few times and quickly looked away.

The last one is a woman. Although she doesn't wear her signature armor, the coat of arms on her chest makes it clear who she is as a paladin of Eros Shuna.

There's a priest, there's a paladin, and there's a ...... Minstrel? It's really a very strange combination. However, with the Paladin and the priest present, Old Tom still had a nonchalant look on his face, so he must have guessed wrong just now......

"Mr. Hadna, you're really joking. There are Paladin ladies with you, and they say that they have made a big deal. You're so good at laughing. ”

"Hey, I've really made a big deal, and you don't believe it. A few of us, almost killed...... Thulick, how many skeletons are we killing? ”

Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders: "How do I know, I didn't count it carefully." But then he added, "It's about five or six hundred, it's nothing." ”

- Anyway, it's bragging, and talk as much as you can.

Fang Qiuling thought that he was already very good at bragging, but the old Tom next to him was even more ruthless than him, and his mouth was: "Nonsense, I think there are one or two thousand!" ”

If you say that you can still believe five or six hundred, and if you say one or two thousand, you are simply bragging, and you have no credibility at all.

Kaka immediately rolled her eyes.

"You went to the north? I've heard it's a lot of chaos right now. Large numbers of refugees. ”

There is definitely moisture in the quantity, and there is no less. However, Kaka did not doubt that the few in front of him did not fight the undead.

"Refugees?" Old Tom's brow furrowed, "What did you hear?" ”

"I heard that the trade routes in the north are extinct, and the army of necromancers has assembled in the upper reaches of the Lian River. Skeleton soldiers and ghouls are everywhere and have taken over the Lianhe Shoals. The evil necromancer has conquered the ancient castle of Lianhe, hoping to awaken the devil sleeping in the depths of the ancient castle. Once the devil is awakened, they will go south along the Lian River...... Don't believe you. The news has now spread, and everyone was spreading it at the market the day before yesterday. ”

Although Kaka swears by it, he is only hearsay, from the market. Most like, like old Tom, exaggerated I don't know how many times.
