Chapter 50. Pass the level, but please don't kill the general...

Fiftieth chapter commemoration! Can I get some money? (

-

"Now, do you forgive me?"

Mia and Melina had just finished their conversation when Patch came up shamelessly.

thump.

Mia's stargazer stick hit Patch on the head.

"Ouch—"

A red mark immediately appeared on the shining bald head.

Good sounding, good start!

"What's wrong?! Didn't I apologize?"

Patch had a sad face and was full of resentment.

Mia urged, "What do you want to pack? Hurry up and finish it, so we can keep going."

Hearing this, Patch smacked his lips.

Looking at the things piled up in the cave, he showed an extremely embarrassed expression.

It's probably the kind of expression that wants to have the best of both worlds.

Mia suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, how did you set the trap for your treasure chest?"

I'm asking about the treasure chest trap that emits smoke.

Those treasure chest traps are scattered all over the border area, and the smoke is more than just eye-candy.

It is a trap that will teleport you to a certain place once you are covered in it.

"Um..." Patch touched his head.

The red mark on the top of his head hurts a little: "It's a disposable item, I found it before."

"Do you understand the principle of this thing?"

Mia demanded.

Patch looked puzzled.

"It looks like just smoke. The principle is simple, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he became anxious and added: "Let me make it clear in advance that I really didn't set that thing up. Other than knowing that the box is suspicious, I have no idea what's inside!"

"After all, I'm glad you destroyed that box."

what.

This is Patch, no matter how hard he tries to argue something or how much he tries to make himself seem believable.

But there will always be doubt.

Even Mia is no exception.

She almost had the words "Really? I don't believe it" written on her face.

"That's teleportation magic. Do you know how to set it up?"

It was precisely because Mia was interested in this unfamiliar knowledge that she wanted to ask.

The teleportation trap in the box had no magical fluctuations at all, and it looked like something that an ordinary person could make.

Patch shook his head violently.

If he had hair, he would look a lot like a mushroom by now.

Well, in this case, there is a new nickname.

Pa-slug-snail-skinned frog-mushroom-qi.

"I have no idea what kind of trap that is!" Patch argued and resisted the topic.

"I'm sorry for asking you to help me step into the trap! I've also apologized to you, can you please just let it go?"

Mia pouted.

Either this guy refused to tell her, or he really didn't know.

As for the first possibility, maybe threatening him again or beating him up again will solve the problem...

But forget it. Beating and threatening people at every turn is too bad.

And if he really doesn't know, there's nothing he can do.

I wonder if I will be able to find a craftsman who can set up this kind of transmission mechanism in the future.

"Tsk..." Mia said in dissatisfaction: "Just leave quickly after you're done."

"Yes Yes Yes..."

Patch responded reluctantly.

He searched and picked among the pile of junk for a while.

Then he raised his head and looked at Mia with a sad face: "I can't bear to leave! You have storage magic, right? Help me take them all away!"

A light shone from the tip of Mia's staff.

"I'll give you money, okay?" Patch explained hastily, "I'll give you half of my savings."

"Hmm..." Mia touched her chin: "How many are there."

Patch glanced warily at Melina and Wilden beside Mia.

Then stretch out three fingers and make the shape of the word "wan" with your mouth.

"..." The girl looked at him speechlessly.

At a time like this, why do you inexplicably care about not revealing your wealth?

Something's wrong...

"I'll give you half!" Patchy added, "As long as you help me take all these away!"

No one can resist money.

So Mia readily agreed: "Okay."

Walk out of the cave again.

Several people looked just as they did when they came in, relaxed.

Three spirit wolves squatted at the door and waited for them obediently.

After the four of them came out, Lappland wagged its tail happily.

"Keep walking!"

Near the Mengliu Cave, there is a path leading to the top of the valley.

There is no need to wind along the narrow and rugged goat path for several hours like we did when we came here.

The rushing water of the Mengliu River flows swiftly. As it flows through this narrow river channel, the water washes the cliffs and boulders on both sides, making a rumbling sound.

It seems to have been like this since ancient times.

-

About forty minutes passed after the four people left.

A man wearing a huge iron hat stopped in front of the Mengliu Cave.

He was holding a horribly long knife.

Just like the few people who stopped at the cave entrance not long ago, staring at the dark and deep cave entrance.

He lowered his head and walked in silently.

However, not long after, he came out of the cave again, holding his long sword.

"He is indeed quite capable." His face was hidden under the iron hat, and he muttered to himself: "I wonder if we are destined to meet..."

He looked left and right.

He walked in a completely opposite direction from Mia and the others, heading upstream of the Mengliu River.

-

We managed to cross the turbulent Mengliu smoothly.

It took the four of them some time to find the main road again.

But then the journey was back on track.

The incident at Mengliu Cave was just a small diversion for the journey that had lasted for a week since leaving Yizhan Street.

For the vast majority, or even ninety-nine percent of the time, they just looked at the scenery that could no longer stir their hearts and continued on their journey in peace.

After walking for so many days, they were no longer surprised by the occasional appearance of people.

The "occasionally" here means a frequency of once in more than ten hours.

No matter if they are coming from the front of the avenue or from behind, as long as they are not soldiers, there is no need to hide.

Sometimes, the four of them would just swagger past a group of wandering immortals.

There is no need for hostility between each other.

There is even no need to look at each other.

As Mia looked at them, they staggered past her, or came from the front and passed by her, or were originally in front of her but were now left behind.

Their wanderings must have once had a purpose, but they themselves have almost forgotten it.

Except for the immortals.

Sometimes there would be tall Kaidans, some in armor, some without.

I would watch them from afar on a distant grassy hill.

But he wouldn't go forward. He would just look at them for a while, and after feeling bored, he would go about doing his own thing.

The edge of the forest came into view again.

Starting from the Mengliu Cave, on the third day.

It rained.

In the rain, the scenery of the earth becomes blurred and soft. The grassland in the distance and the rolling hills are all shrouded in rain and mist, looking quiet and mysterious.

The grass in the cracks on the road and the unknown wild flowers on the roadside were all shaking in the rain.

Not for the first time, Mia marveled at the carefreeness of nature, having nothing to do with anything on this land.

Even in the rain, we still keep on going.

This is a good time to practice prayer.

Mia turned her left hand upwards, and a flame appeared in her left hand, then grew taller, reaching above her head.

Then, as if it had hit something, it opened up like an umbrella in mid-air.

The top of the flames was the hottest, evaporating any falling rain, while the flames close to Mia's body also kept her clothes dry.

Melina, who was leading the horse, became translucent.

The rain went straight through her body and dripped onto the ground.

But she was able to hold the reins properly.

Wilden and Patch have no such handy skills.

They were wrapped in tent cloth and sackcloth soaked in grease to keep out the rain and cold.

Patch kept complaining all the way, but Mia was used to it.

In fact, with Mia around, the discomfort of being caught in the rain is only temporary.
