Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 23: Everyone has troubles

   Ranger Carl sat down on his knees, unfolding a paper bag on his knees, carefully not letting the contents spill out. His movements are soothing and steady, with a special rhythm, even showing a somewhat holy taste.

After    used his fingers to pick a few times, he found the part that satisfies him, gently pinched it with three fingers, and placed it on the reed leaf beside him. The wind was blowing in the forest, and it was still far from the tree hole, which had been caught by the keen ranger. His hands are like dexterous hummingbirds, hurriedly rolling up the paper wraps on his knees to avoid being stolen by the naughty wind thief.

   Then, he rolled up the reed leaf, rolled it into a tube, and held it in his mouth. A piece of wood with sparks came closer and touched the far end of the reed leaf, and there was green smoke immediately. Carl squinted his eyes, his breathing became slow and deep, and the sorrow in his heart seemed to be relieved by the smoke drifting.

  The old dog hates the ranger smoking the most, and makes his nose itchy and runny every time. He moved his body out and lowered himself to hide where the smoke could not blow. I have to live a few more years, but I dare not get too close to the poison.

  Although the animal companion does not like his behavior, the ranger Carl thinks that smoking is not a big problem. He is not very addicted to cigarettes and very picky. He especially likes a kind of tobacco called "fairy fireworks", and this kind of tobacco is produced in only one place in the world, that is, healthy forests.

  The healthy forest covers a vast area and can shelter a large number of creatures, including a dwarf village. They lived here long before humans and dwarf pioneers established forestside villages, and they have been using various illusions to hide the location of the village. They only communicate with the jungle ranger and some trusted druids to obtain information from the outside world. At other times, they all lived in isolation.

   "If you don't cause trouble, trouble won't provoke you." This sentence is a bit taken for granted, but the dwarf always takes it as a creed and strictly guards the secret of the location of the village. Gnomish Village now has a population of two thousand, and it is actually a big town, but for outsiders, whether the village exists is still a mystery.

   "Goblin Fireworks" is a product of Gnomish Village. The main purpose is not to draw, but to release some magic spells.

   "It's been a long time since I smoked it, it's been about half a year." Carl spit out a smoke ring lightly, then coughed twice. "I'm not looking for you, nor will you come out. Isn't it really bored to stay in that place all the time?"

   "We have many things to do, so naturally we won't get bored." The speaker was a dwarf sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the Ranger's boa constrictor leaning on his back. Big head, small body, short limbs, round eyes and three goatees. "Mr. Ranger, the elder asked me to assist you this time, but he didn't say anything about it. Can you tell me now?"

"Some bad news came out of Viper Cliff. Some scavengers saw weird shadows there. Excluding the fact that they were exaggerated because of fear, I think their description of the shadows is like an angry servant." Carl He took a sharp breath and almost sucked the whole reed leaf into his lungs. Thick smoke came out of his ears, and the dwarf who saw this scene hurriedly covered the corners of his mouth with his fingers.

   cleared his throat, the dwarf barely restrained his impatience, so that he could speak in a calm tone. "Is it still troublesome? Haven't the relics of the demon priest been found? The destruction of Viper Cliff has been three hundred years, but there will be angry servants appearing from time to time during these three hundred years. We want to know when we can completely solve it. Is this trouble?"

   "Your elders also went to Snake Cliffs to explore in person, haven't you been able to find the evil mask?" Karl was a little impatient, and the dwarf's attitude made him dissatisfied. And he also has troubles, who will answer the questions that are full of brains? What happened between the missing Solu and the wounded Mike? What happened to the bloodstains on the ground and a few missing weapons? Why were some small animals brutally killed, but the big white goose "sausage" was unharmed?

   Yesterday, he sent the python worm to go to the dwarf village with a letter for help. This afternoon, I just left for a while, patrolling the forest and stopping by to meet the returning python, only to see a mess at home. The cluttered traces on the grass indicate that a fierce battle has taken place here, but there are only half-orcs on the ground. Mike is just a novice in combat and should not be Saru's opponent. So who on earth hurt the Orcs and where did he go?

"The Anger Servant will not leave the area without accumulating a certain amount, so as long as it is eliminated as soon as possible, it will not have a big impact. I will go to the Viper Cliff to see the situation in two days. Now I need a brilliant gem pendant." Carl He reached out to the dwarf, but the dwarf didn't seem to understand.

"Brilliant gemstone pendant, don't tell me you didn't bring that thing!" Carl raised his eyebrows and squeezed his fists. "Only the pendant protects against evil and calms emotions to restrain the influence of angry servants, otherwise there is The danger is too high!"

"Of course I brought the pendant, but this time is different from the past. I will bring the pendant with you." The dwarf shook his head and said with a slight smile: "The elders think that maybe only when the servant of the angry student appears, Only the evil mask will reveal its traces. In the past, the behavior of simply cleaning up the servants of the angry students can treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The longer the delay, the greater the impact on our community~www.NovelMTL.com~ So this time I will go with you. Introduce myself, I am the best wizard in the village, Greens Mumu."

   "This is different from the original agreement. The jungle ranger protects the healthy forest from evil, and the residents living here must provide timely assistance."

   The dwarf raised his index finger and shook: "I'm just helping?"

"The Brilliant Jewel Pendant is to help, you will only help!" Ranger Carl is unceremonious: "Your village has been closed for a long time. You use illusions to hide and hide. No one has real combat experience. It's better to take you to the battlefield. The young man downstairs, at least he is big enough to attract the enemy's attention and cover me for a second or two."

   "Huh, Mr. Ranger, where I am now, the pendant is there." The dwarf is unceremonious, and has no intention of giving in: "I will let you see my powerful magic power!"

   The dwarf swayed his finger, and bits of dust slipped from his fingertips. After a graceful spell sounded, the figure of the dwarf became hazy like a mirage, and then gradually disappeared.

   Dogmeat ran to the door, sniffed it with his nose, and then vaguely pointed his front paw in the direction, indicating that the dwarf was hiding there. Carl shook his head, not going to expose this matter. So the old dog lowered his head and moaned twice, and scratched the ground with his paws to signal that something was happening downstairs.

   "Why, that guy woke up?" Carl stood up, patted the soil on his body, grabbed the vines next to the tree hole and slid to the next level. He saw Zhao Mai wake up yawning, but the puppy cub was still sleeping soundly.
