Mercenaries and Adventurers

In fact, what Zhao Ji wanted most was to buy an iron armor, but he knew without asking, that the price of an iron armor was definitely not cheap, and he couldn't afford it. So he can only settle for the next best thing, wearing a leather armor, and for future considerations, Zhao Ji will leave places and designs for adding iron armor on his leather armor.

Zhao Ji recorded all his ideas on straw paper, some such as a multi-sling backpack made of strong linen, a comprehensive pendant to repel mosquitoes, an all-in-one sleeping bag that is convenient for field trips overnight, field lighting equipment, and windproof oil lamps.

But it didn't take long for the oil lamp in the house to go out because there was no lamp oil. Zhao Ji had no choice but to pack up his things by the moonlight and lie down to sleep.

He lay there, thinking about tomorrow and some arrangements after that.

First of all, the first thing to do tomorrow is to go with President Foxtail to see how the leather shop is making the slime monster's envelope. If all goes well, aim for that day to seal the matter. The Foxtail Chamber of Commerce is run by President Foxwei, as long as President Foxtail decides, there will be no problem.

Secondly, it will take some time to make the envelope of the slime monster. Before the envelope is produced, the Chamber of Commerce will not pay for it. So his money is only as much as it is now, and it is difficult to find new channels for money, so he can only use the opportunity of the chamber of commerce to repair the roof to hunt more slime monsters. Although Zhao Ji really didn't want to hunt slime monsters anymore, but who told him to come here, he didn't have anything. He didn't have any wealth accumulation, so he could only rely on this opportunity now.

Finally, there is the question of when to hunt slime monsters and how and where to hunt slime monsters. There are many things to do tomorrow, and there are many preparations for hunting slime monsters. At least he has to modify the shield according to his vision.

As for weapons, he also planned to stop using short weapons, and everything was dismantled. Moreover, the short sword is still inconvenient, because it is not easy to use force, and it cannot cause fatal damage.

Secondly, it is always easy to tie the slime monster into a sieve, and it cannot be sold at a price. Every broken slime monster is a loss of more than ten copper coins.

Thirdly, the attack method of the short spear is still limited, and it is not as convenient as the straight long wooden spear. Although both are quite easy for Zhao Ji, in intense battles, the simpler attack method will save precious time, the more labor-saving attack method will save precious stamina, and the faster attack method will make He attacked first to seize the advantage.

So before the next hunt, his weapon had to be ready.

As for the work of making a battle field in the swamp south of the city, it has to start after deciding where to clean up the slime monsters. And he had to find someone to borrow an ax, and it would be best to have a cart, so that he could easily transport the slime monsters without having to trouble the Punika craftsman to go back and forth.

After hunting so many slime monsters before, there was no way to find someone to watch them. He had to find someone to prove that he was the one who hunted the slime monsters, and he also wanted to use their mouths to spread his reputation, and he also had to quickly win the bet and win the two. Get a silver coin.

Life without money is really painful.

Thinking left and right, Zhao Ji fell asleep unconsciously.

-----------------------------------------

The next day, morning.

At dawn, Zhao Ji was woken up by the crowing of roosters one after another, but he didn't sleep late last night, so he is full of energy now. After washing his face with the bucket in the house and rinsing his mouth, Zhao Ji went downstairs.

Come to the toilet next to the restaurant to go to the toilet, wash your hands and have breakfast.

Today's breakfast is still thick soup and bread, but the thick soup is fish soup, with the Kendall River fish that Chef Whitney caught yesterday at some unknown time. Large pieces of fish meat and fish bones turned the soup into a milky white, vegetables and tuber food were floating in it, and the hard but very full black bread was soaked in. It felt like the bread was pulling the hind legs of the fish soup. .

Aunt Dilu's loud voice in the dining room was next to her ears, warning the trade union guys to be careful of fish bones and fish bones when eating fish. One of her younger brothers died because of this when he was less than ten years old.

A guy said that he is no longer a ten-year-old kid, and he will not even know how to eat fish. Aunt Di Lu sighed, and said that when she was a child, her family was poor and she never ate fish, which is why this kind of thing happened. Chef Whitney reassured his wife by patting her on the back.

Zhao Ji ate slowly, waiting for President Foxtail to come to the chamber of commerce restaurant for dinner.

After a while, President Foxtail came. After seeing Zhao Ji, he nodded to him and went to eat.

Seeing President Foxtail coming, Zhao Ji finished his meal in a few strokes. He ate the fish before, and then broke the bread vigorously and soaked it in the soup. Grave the soft bread and vegetables in the soup into your mouth and drink up the soup.

Coming to the side of President Huwei, Zhao Ji waited for President Foxwei who was eating slowly.

Blinking his eyes with a smile, the wrinkles on President Foxtail's face seemed to be slightly stretched because of the delicious food. Slicing the black bread with a silver knife, he ate it with a thick soup.

Zhao Ji has always wondered why President Foxtail, as the president of the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, ranks among the top 30 in Kendall City, why does he still eat this kind of bread made of rough rye? And he is quite old, at least in his fifties and sixties, so he is considered an old man here. Why do they still eat black bread that even young people don't want to eat?

As if seeing the doubt in Kiel's eyes, President Foxtail stopped eating and asked if there was anything bothering Kiel, so he could tell him about it.

Zhao Ji truthfully stated his doubts. Unexpectedly, it made the old Foxtail President laugh out loud.

"When I was young, like you young people, I went out of my hometown alone to make a living. In fact, it was not because I was full, but because of the famine in my hometown.

My parents can't feed so many children in the family, so I can only let my oldest son go out and make a living. As long as there is one less person to eat, maybe the family can survive for a while.

As long as it rains, mushrooms that can't eat people will grow on the grass in the wild, and wild vegetables that are not poisonous will grow in the wasteland.

At that time, I walked towards the big city with the little food that my family gave me, and when I encountered a dry river, I raised a stone to drink a little bit of muddy water below it, and when I saw a tree, I ate the top leaves that no one could reach. After walking for many days, I arrived in the big city.

Along the way, I didn't dare to eat all the food provided by the family, and I could only hold the little bit in my hand tightly.

In the big cities, relying on fighting for a breath, I got a foothold. After the famine passed, I dared to return to my hometown. "President Foxtail said slowly.

Zhao Ji's eyes widened~www.wuxiahere.com~ and asked slowly: "What about after returning to my hometown?"

The other people in the restaurant didn't react at all when they heard President Foxtail's story, they were still doing their own things, eating and chatting.

"After returning to my hometown, hey." President Foxtail took out a necklace hanging around his neck from his chest, with a god's badge on it, and a small transparent glass bottle containing several dried Small fruits and wild vegetables.

Looking at the vial, Zhao Ji stopped breathing.

"After returning to my hometown, I found out that my hometown was next to a main road of the empire, so I happened to pass by an elf envoy. They saw that there was a famine in their hometown, so they used magic to rain light rain on a large area there for a week. The village is full of wild vegetables, the village is full of mushrooms, and even the wooden windows are covered with mushrooms.

I endured hardships in the big city for nothing, and I suffered a lot of beatings and grievances for nothing. "President Foxtail said with a smile and sped up the speed.

This time Zhao Ji was stupid and could only say: "I'll go."

He was played by the old stuff. Regarding this, Zhao Ji could only slowly say: "Fortunately, your hardships were not in vain, and then you embarked on the road of business, right?"

Zhao Ji felt that his guess was probably correct. President Huwei had seen big cities after that, so he definitely didn't want to stay in a small place in his hometown anymore.

Squeezing his eyes, the old fox-tailed smile became even happier: "No! Because the protagonist in the story above is actually not me, that person is my brother. He told me his experience after returning to his hometown, and told me to learn from it. Lesson, and let me keep the fruits and wild vegetables he left behind. He followed the footsteps of the elves and went to learn magic spells."

This time Zhao Ji was completely speechless.

You are kidding me, old man.
