Foreigner's Journey

"It's time to get it back."

###Chapter 79 The Goal of Recasting###

Cam Town is about 85 kilometers away from Midgar, and a wide road connects the two places.

At the beginning, the surrounding area of ​​the road was completely deserted, and there was no "plant" at all. Occasionally, there were living creatures moving, and hungry monsters were watching.

Perhaps the war golem [Red Comet] loaded on the truck looks quite intimidating. Even if those monsters are very hungry, they just stand still by the roadside, and have no intention of attacking at all.

The farther away from Midgar Wilderness, the better the weather and environment.

When it was near the town of Cam, not only did the clouds in the sky become normal, but even some bushes could be seen near the huge magic pipe.

As a transfer station and mining town for transporting Moko, the houses in Cam Town are not as large as the Shinra Factory and Moko Furnace, and the architectural style is very close to the [-]th century British suburban style in the original world of Heather.Of course, the mess is about the same.

The supply operation in Cam Town has not been affected in any way. The money from Seventh Heaven is usually kept by Tifa. With the permission of Heather, the whole team shares this huge amount of money, so whether it is energy supplies or food, weapons and ammunition supplements Nothing to worry about.

What made the group feel weird was the attitude of the townspeople.

It seems that everyone is wearing a mask, and all they do is praise Shinra and Moko Energy, as if whoever dares to disobey Shinra is a sinner.Naturally, the Avalanche organization who resisted the Shinra Corporation was also judged by them as [idiots] and [wilders].

If it wasn't for Heather and Claude, Barrett really planned to pick up the metal rotary machine gun on the spot and give those guys who uttered wild words a "slap in the head".

After replenishing the supplies, Heather and the others did not stay in the town for too long, but drove away from the town under the weird eyes of the townspeople and headed east.

If you want to go to Junon, you can either take Shinra's special freight train to depart directly from Midgar, or you have to enter the Mithril Mine from the swamp southeast of Cam Town in the pasture area, and then go through the mine to the Junon area.

On the wilderness, several open hoods stood up against the hillside, trucks and motorcycles were parked aside, and the recharged war golem [Red Comet] was meticulously performing security tasks around the camp after receiving instructions from Jesse.

Tents were piled up around the bonfire, and a group of people sat in front of the bonfire, the red fire reflected on everyone's face.

"What a long night..."

Jesse sat next to Claude in a coat and yawned: "If it's written as a novel, there must be at least [-] words of plot tonight, right? I'm so sleepy, squint a little..."

Claude fiddled with the fire with a wooden stick, and felt Jesse leaning on his shoulder. He adjusted his posture so that Jesse could lean more comfortably, and then looked at Heather: "The townspeople in Cam Town have a bad attitude. Too good, is it because of Shinra's pressure?"

"In the past, Cam Town relied on the mineral resources of the Mithril Mine. It wasn't too bad, but since Shinra established the Moko Furnace in Cam Town, Cam Town has been completely controlled by Shinra."

Heather was arranging the magic spar in the box, and said without raising her head:

"The main energy source is controlled by Shinra, and more and more young people in the town are abandoning their ancestral mining industry and turning to the maintenance of the Shinra army or the magic furnace. After all, Kamu Town is nothing but It is just the epitome of many small towns destroyed by the magic furnace. They are lucky in comparison. Some towns and villages were even completely wiped out by Shinra. into the long river of history.”

Sitting next to him, Tifa lowered her head slightly. Nibelheim, her and Cloud's hometown, is a living example.

On the other side, Barrett also remained silent. His hometown, Kolei Village, was also completely wiped out because of Shinra. Only he and Marlene survived.

Jesse, who tilted his head and leaned on Claude's shoulder, rolled his eyes wide: "The topic is too heavy! Let's change it to a lighter topic? Heather, I didn't expect you and Tifa's Seventh Heaven to be so profitable." ?”

It's not like I don't know, when they were in Cam Town, everyone gathered together to raise money to buy some supplies.Barrett and Claude are completely poor. Alice's pocket money is usually earned by working in restaurants or selling flowers, and the total is only more than 3000 GIL.Jesse has some money, but it is less than [-] GIL. If he wants to buy all the supplies, then everyone will have to drink the Northwest Wind.

Then, the rich woman appeared.

Tifa almost blinded everyone when she took out the Thunder Wolf Dragon wallet she made herself. It's a full 24 GIL, which is only Seventh Heaven's working capital for this month.After Heather made the decision, the funds were shared by the whole team.But considering that other people are either ignorant boys and girls or old fritters who spend a lot of money, the small treasury was finally handed over to Tifa for safekeeping.

Hearing Jesse's joke, Heather glanced at her and said lazily: "If you don't go to Bafan Street to buy those useless garbage, you can save money."

"I'm different. I'm responsible for the maintenance and development of the weapons and equipment of the Avalanche Branch. Those so-called 'junk' can become very useful parts as long as you repair them or remove the discarded parts. They can even be sold. What about the money! Claude, let me tell you, I made all the water purification devices in the Qifan Street slum!" As he spoke, Jesse turned to ask her boyfriend for credit.

Claude showed a surprised expression very cooperatively, and I don't know if he was really surprised or if he has become more emotionally intelligent and knows how to coax his girlfriend.

Beside, Alice finally spread a thick layer of strawberry jam on all the bread slices, and handed them to everyone diligently.Everyone thanked and took the bread and ate it.

When they first arrived in Cam Town, they knocked on the door of the bakery in the middle of the night and bought all the cold bread that was left for them to eat during the day. The bargaining expert Heather also took away the four A jar of homemade strawberry jam.

Although the bread was completely cold and the edges were a bit hard to eat, it was still a very delicious meal for the people who made a fuss at the Shinra headquarters and ran away overnight.

"Brother, are you going to the Mortal Swamp next? What about the truck?" Tifa looked worriedly at her beloved little truck.

"In fact, Shinra also built a road near the swamp, but due to some objective reasons, this road was abandoned as soon as it was built. Um...a lot of jam?"

Heather took a bite of the bread, and the corner of her mouth was immediately stained with red jam.The piece of bread in his hand has obviously more jam than the others, it seems to be from the sincere care of the apprentice.

"Abandoned? Isn't it still useless?" Barrett didn't want to give up trucks and motorcycles either. Having these means of transportation can save a lot of trouble.

Heather shook her finger: "Abandonment does not mean that the road is damaged. As I said, it is because of some objective reasons. And this kind of objective reason is not a problem for me, but we need to go to the pasture area first. Bird House."

Chocobo?Others subconsciously turned their eyes to Claude, who was at a loss.

There is no other reason, Claude's hairstyle and hair color are too similar to Chocobo.

Barrett scratched his hair frantically: "Heather, don't be a fool, what are you doing at the Chocobo House?"

"Some chocobos can fly long distances if they are bred properly. I need to get a high-quality chocobo of this kind."

Heather smiled: "And if we want to go to the West Continent, the Kingdie Amusement Park is a must. There is a chocobo competition there, and you must have your own chocobo to participate. Looking at the entire East Continent, only Chocobo House has the best level of chocobo breeding."

"The prizes in the competition are great?" Tifa knew Heather too well. Her senior brother was a typical interest supremacist. If there were no good things in the chocobo competition, the senior brother would not be interested.

"The chocobo competition is just the [process] of what I want. My ultimate goal is to breed the strongest golden chocobo. Because the thing I want can only be obtained through this method."

From the very beginning, Heather had no intention of reserving the precious quota of recasting magic spar to relatively ordinary summoning stones like Shiva or Ifrit, and even the dragon god and water god were only in his consideration. within.

He had only one goal from the beginning, and that was the strongest summoned beast in FF7-【Knights of the Round Table】.

###Chapter 80 Chocobo House###

The farther away from Midgar, the greener the surrounding environment.

The truck was still carrying the red comet, and it was heading southeast along the highway with the two motorcycles.

There are very few cars along the way, perhaps because Midgar has been under martial law.Everyone was happy, and the roar of the engine echoed alone on the road.

The Shinra Company may have many problems of one kind or another, but one thing is undeniable, that is, the roads they laid are almost all over the world.Maybe their starting point is just to facilitate the laying of the Moko pipeline, but the highway has indeed greatly facilitated people's travel.

Forests, fields, swamps, as long as there are people in the area, there will be Shinra's magic pipelines and roads.

The home of the chocobo was far away from the town of Cam. They passed through three towns and resupplied twice, and it took six hours to reach the central area of ​​the pasture area.

Stepping on the lush and lush grassland, you will see a rather large farm.

The fields for growing vegetables and fruits spread far away, and the farm was surrounded by fences. Several chocobos with bright coats were running happily in the wide paddock.There is a large windmill in the middle of the farm, and next to the windmill is a two-storey closed farm, which covers a large area.The two dwellings are on the south side of the farm. The weather vane in the shape of a chocobo on the roof is creaking and turning, and the smoke from the chimney can be vaguely seen.

The gate of the farm was not locked but was wide open. Everyone parked their vehicles at the gate and walked into the farm.As soon as they entered the farm, everyone smelled a strange smell, not very smelly, but very unique.

Alice wrinkled her nose: "Wow, what smell? It feels... so strange!"

Jessie beside her explained with a smile: "This is the smell of chocobos. They rely on their special body odor to mark their activity areas."

"But the chocobo caravans in Midgar don't have that smell." Tifa and Heather had been in the rented chocobo caravans used as taxis between the slums of Midgar a few times, and those chocobos didn't smell at all. Such a weird smell.

"Those chocobos raised by Midgar have been specially treated with potions. We can't let the passengers smell this smell every day, right?"

Heather pointed to the farm in front of him: "That's the chocobo farm. The original owner here is Bill Green, who has won four consecutive championships in the global chocobo race around the island. In recent years, he Gradually handed over the business to his son, Beet Green, and there are grandchildren at home, Billy Green and Le Green, and I don't know if Bill and Beet are at home."

Walking into the wide breeding ground, there are [-] stall-like compartments on both sides, and the unique 'kweh' calls of chocobos come and go.

As if he heard the warning calls of chocobos, a boy wearing a straw hat came out of a bird stable and shouted loudly: "Excuse me, are you the guests? There are no chocobos to sell now, please go back." !"

Heather stepped forward and carefully looked at the boy in the straw hat, her voice softened: "Billy Green, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown up."

"You are……"

A teenager named Billy wore a straw hat, freckles on his tanned face, and was wearing dirty overalls and carrying a pitchfork. He looked back at Heather suspiciously, and when he saw the pair of glasses Suddenly realized: "It's Uncle Heather!"

"...It's Big Brother!" Heather's face darkened.

"Uncle, haven't we seen each other for almost seven years? Didn't the bearded old man who was with you at that time come together?"

Billy looked at the people who were coming, but he couldn't find Zangan in the crowd.But he didn't ask much, but turned his head and shouted to the side: "Ale, look who is here?"

A girl with red hair braided timidly poked her head out from another bird stall: "Brother, who is it?"

"Ale? You were only five years old when we met last time. It's normal if you don't remember me." Heather's attitude towards these two children is completely different from that of adults, and can be called very kind.This made everyone quite surprised, because in their eyes, Heather always had an indifferent attitude, or was full of mocking and mocking smiles, and they rarely saw him in a friendly manner except when facing Tifa.

A Le ran over and looked at Heather carefully, and when he saw the glasses, he shouted happily: "It's Uncle Heather!"

"It's Big Brother... Forget it, do as you like." Heather didn't bother to correct him: "Where's your grandfather, old Bill?"

"Grandpa is going to deliver chocobos to Midgar!" A Le raised his hand and said cheerfully, "I drove there, and I'll be back soon!"

Heather nodded: "Really, what about your father Bit? He also went with the car?"

The faces of the two children darkened suddenly, and Billy lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mom and Dad...was attacked by a monster while transporting the chocobo half a year ago, and passed away."

Ale on the side also bowed his head silently, and the three women in the team hurried over to comfort the little girl softly.

Heather turned her head and looked at Claude and Barrett with a little helplessness in her eyes.Originally, this farm has been handed over to Bit to take care of it these years, and Bit's level of breeding chocobos has been taught by Old Bill, so naturally it will not be bad.Now that something like this happened, I'm afraid the farm's business would be greatly reduced.

At this time, Heather and Claude looked back towards the gate of the farm. Among the people present, their hearing was the most sensitive, and they heard the sound of a car engine from the direction of the gate.

Not long after, a hale and hearty white-haired old man wearing a red turban and goggles walked into the farm, and when he saw everyone, he said in surprise: "Oh, this is really strange, why did you come here all of a sudden today?" There are so many guests? But I'm sorry, Chocobo hasn't..."

"Old Bill."

Heather's voice sounded: "I haven't seen you in seven years, but your spirit is still so good."

"You are...Heather!" Old Bill remembered as soon as he saw the glasses, and happily ran over and patted Heather on the shoulder: "It's been a long time since I saw you! By the way, that old guy Zangan Woolen cloth?"

Heather curled her lips: "Of course I went touring the world."

"Hahahaha! He's still the same!" Old Bill laughed loudly, and looked at the others: "Are these all your friends? It's hard to imagine that a character like you can make friends, don't you I know how worried Zangan was back then..."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that the old man couldn't stop talking once he started talking, Heather quickly stopped him:

"What's the situation on your farm? I plan to get some excellent chocobos from you. Why did Billy say that the farm doesn't have any extra chocobos for sale?"

When this matter was mentioned, Old Bill sighed dejectedly:

"Hey, it's all due to the monsters that suddenly appeared in the earthly swamp."

###Chapter 81 Old Acquaintance###

"The monster of the earthly swamp? You mean [Midgar Python]?"

Heather said strangely: "Didn't that thing exist a long time ago? I remember that the road laid by Shinra Company had to be abandoned because of the rampage of the Midgar python."

Old Bill waved his hand: "No, no, the Midgar python is scary, but as long as you ride a chocobo with high concealment or a fast enough vehicle, you can avoid it depending on your luck. I'm talking about a recently A monster that just appeared, it appeared near the earthly swamp about half a year ago, and my son and daughter-in-law died at the mouth of this monster."

Thinking of what Billy and Ale said before, Heather frowned: "What kind of monster?"
