Chapter 493. The Predicament of the Hunters in El City

Pushing open the door of the material and logistics department, there are more than a dozen people waiting in line in the hall of more than [-] square meters inside. A beam of bright light is projected from the skylight on the roof, making the somewhat dim logistics department, In this cold winter, it seems that there is such a trace of warmth.There is a fireplace on the wall opposite the main entrance in the hall, some pine wood is crackling and burning inside, and there is a faint smell of rosin in the room.

Several adults dressed as hunters sat around the chairs in front of the fireplace chatting, throwing a few pine cones into it from time to time.

Four or five-meter-high shelves were placed against the wall, and various storage boxes and magic-sealing boxes were placed on the shelves. Three staff members were busy standing in front of the indigo wood counter.

Morayal wears the orthodox Calmian magic robes, the hallmark of a magician.When the hunters saw Ya took me to the fireplace to enjoy the fire, they all stood up to make room and two chairs. Magicians are respected wherever they go. The hunter nodded and sat down without saying a word. Her rosy lips were raised slightly on her fair face, exuding an elegant aristocratic temperament. She took off the cone hat on her head, revealing a head of chestnut curly hair, snow-white Her neck was like a beautiful and proud swan. After winter, she turned white a lot, and her slender body became a little more sensual.

I sat down next to her and saw that those people in the hall were queuing up, so I asked Ya: "Should I also go to line up?"

"You two mages don't need to queue up over there. There will be someone to receive you later!" A burly hunter sitting on the side interrupted and answered my question. He looked at me and Ya carefully, but Seeing Ya Wanwan's eyebrows twitched a little, she was taken aback immediately, knowing that she had made the female magician a little unhappy by interrupting, so she said with an embarrassed smile, "Excuse me!"

"I'm a magic apprentice from the Magic Academy. My name is Ji Jia. Thank you for your enthusiastic answer!" I smiled at the burly man in hunter attire, and then said methodically, which made the rough-looking hunter feel happy. Be safe.

Seeing my friendly words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief knowing that we had no other thoughts and would not offend the two magician nobles in the city of El for no reason.He nodded politely to me, then turned around and continued chatting with his companions around him, not daring to get involved between the two of us.Ya, who was sitting by the side, whispered to me: "Why are you thanking him! I just redeemed merits here yesterday, so why don't I know these procedures?"

"Okay, okay, I'm also kind, and I haven't talked about what you've gained this time!" I pressed against Ya's ear, and the heat of my breath hit Ya's ear, and she seemed to feel itchy, and then Just beside me, I covered my mouth and chuckled softly. I saw that she was just upset that the hunter had robbed her of her words, and said to her: "Besides, didn't they give us two chairs? We shouldn't thank you. hit them?"

"Forget it, the fireplace and seats here are originally prepared for nobles!" Ya said lightly, and then asked me with a smile: "I haven't talked about your harvest yet, how are you doing?"

I kept it a secret on purpose, looked into her clear eyes and said with a smile: "You will know when you exchange merit points later?"

"Rare!" Molaya gave me an angry look and said.

After a while, I said to her roguely: "I'm sitting in front of you safe and sound, isn't it the best news?"

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't say anything." Ya gently raised her crooked eyebrows, and stopped asking.

Moraya was not annoyed, she pursed her lips, took out a thick magic book from her pocket, held it in her hand and flipped through it casually, waiting for someone to come and receive us.

Although Ya and I both became the Falcons of El City at the same time, they were divided into two different teams. After the team left the city, the target they chose was not the generation of Mount Antiea, but went directly through a large forest , went directly to the fishing lake.Last year, more than [-] barbarian warriors from the Celtic tribe lurk in the mountainous area near the fishing lake. This winter, that mountainous area has become the focus area for the falcons.

I looked curiously at the entire merit exchange hall of the logistics department.At this time, the conversation of several hunters sitting in front of the fireplace attracted me.

"The total number of guys who went out hunting this year is less than half of last year!" said the old-faced hunter who was a little hoarse and tired.

The bearded hunter on the side also echoed, "In the battle at Yuhu Lake in the early spring, many old brothers died, and there are not many people left to continue our business."

The old-faced hunter continued: "Hunting is becoming more and more difficult. All the larger beasts in the suburbs are hunted by those barbarians. In my opinion, after the beginning of spring, we will The brothers moved to Ziqing Mountain City to make a living, what else can there be besides golden apple groves all over the mountains and plains in the suburbs of El City?"

The burly hunter had a different opinion. He hesitated before saying, "Is it really easy to mess around in Ziqing Mountain City? Let's not talk about how the local hunter's guild exploited us outsiders. Those magical beasts in the deep mountains and great swamps are not something our brothers can hunt, let alone the beast horde that happens once every few years, once we encounter them, our brothers alone will definitely die!"

The old-faced hunter sighed: "That's better than staying here in El City. The barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe are much more brutal than the Celtic tribe's barbarians before. I don't think these barbarians are innocent. It’s just that they came to us to rob people. It’s not like you haven’t seen what they did in those small towns and manors this winter. What’s the point of having thousands of people around the city now? Maybe they even set up tents by the roadside. The homeless people know what they are thinking."

The bearded hunter said: "In El City this year, not counting those who were taken in by various families, there are at least more than 5 refugees who sleep on the streets and pitch tents in the free market and slave market. In other words, even if El City survived the winter this year, so what? All the small towns outside have been destroyed. How will the [-] refugees be resettled? Their homes have been destroyed, and there are still hundreds of miles around There are a bunch of mess inside, at least there are no barbarians in Ziqing Mountain City, they are in the inland of Sluyte Province, they do not border the ice and snow tundra, and the second division of the North Wind Legion there, in order to resist The beast tide in the deep mountains is a powerful force with the Lion Eagle Knights and chariots. In fact, we are just unlucky. Have you heard that this summer, a team of fourth-year graduates from Zhanzheng College entered Ziqing Mountain After practicing, I actually hunted a two-headed flaming snake lizard."

"Wow!" The other two hunters couldn't help shouting out in envy. They tried their best to suppress their voices, but they still couldn't hold back. Maybe they wished they could meet the two-headed Pyrolizards. If he were a college student, the value of a Flame Snake Lizard would be incalculable.

The burly hunter couldn't wait to ask: "My God, are those students?" He continued to ask: "What happened afterwards? That beast is not easy to mess with!"

The bearded hunter rubbed his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands again, saying: "What else can I do, kill, it's not a proper kill!"

The eyes of several hunters radiated a fiery brilliance, as if they would be the next group to meet the two-headed flaming snake lizard in the deep mountains.

At this time, the wooden door of the logistics hall was pushed open, and a group of people walked in from the outside under the gust of cold air. They were led by three young noble children. They walked in talking and laughing, followed by The three knights in armor, just look at them. These three knights are wearing a set of metal armor made of magic red copper. The complicated magic patterns outlined by the magic runes are like drawn on the armor, so that each piece of armor All have a faint magical atmosphere spreading outward.

"Magic pattern construction!"

In El City, magic pattern construction is not common, but after all, it can be seen from the children of some noble families, just like seeing Benjamin wearing a suit of armor last night on the city wall, but he was wearing a suit A set of magic pattern structures, it can be said that for an ordinary noble family, having a few magic pattern structures in the family is a concrete manifestation of the family's strength.

But it is a bit too exaggerated to let the subordinates also luxuriously wear the magic pattern structure. What kind of aristocratic family needs to be able to have such strength. These young noble children are probably less than 20 years old , wearing a fine attire, wearing a beautiful long sword on the waist, this attire is very popular in the aristocratic circle, they walked into the logistics department with their chins raised one by one, and saw this at a glance stove.

Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, these noble children walked quickly to the fireplace, and one of them, a young man with a face as white as marble, stood up, and he looked at those who were talking vigorously in disgust. The hunters waved their hands, covered their mouths and noses lightly with a handkerchief in the other hand, and said unceremoniously: "Why don't you go away quickly, this is also where you common people sit?"

The faces of those hunters turned red all of a sudden, and the old hunter with a vicissitudes of life swallowed back half a sentence in his mouth when he saw the clothes of the noble children and the followers behind him. He secretly held back the burly hunter who was about to rush over with his hands, and under the mocking eyes of the three noble children, these hunters walked to the corner of the other side of the wall, and they gathered together, chatting loudly. Possibly a little lower.

One of the noble children carelessly threw a heavy magic sealing box on the coffee table, making a heavy muffled sound.

It seems that this small episode did not affect the good mood of the nobles at all. They were very happy talking about the horses raised at home and the anecdotes about the fief.

Ya frowned a little and looked at the group of arrogant and lustful people, then looked away and ignored them.

At this moment, a staff member of the logistics department in clean clothes, carrying a small tray with two exquisite teacups on it, came from behind a secret door. She obviously did not expect it. At the fireplace, there were actually five noble children in total. They were taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned around and went back to the secret door.When the staff member came out, there was another teapot and several teacups on the tray.

The average-looking girl with a delicate face stood in front of the fireplace and asked politely, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hey, why did you run away just now? Are our brothers so scary?" The young nobleman with delicate skin as white as marble frowned, and shouted loudly: "We brothers will come to you if we have nothing to do. What a joke, we are here to exchange merit!"

Speaking of which, the noble young man put one hand on the magic sealing box in the center of the coffee table, and looked around proudly.

The girl blinked Shui Ling's big eyes, and said with a smile: "Sorry, before you come, this master magician should have come here earlier, you wait a moment, wait for me to put this Take care of the affairs of the two mages..."

Before the girl could finish her sentence, the young nobleman raised his eyebrows, glared at the girl and said, "Do you know what I want to exchange with you? How dare you treat me and my family so poorly?" friend?"

The girl blinked her eyes with a hesitant look, and said stubbornly, "Whatever you exchange, you have to follow the order!"

The noble boy couldn't say anything else, he just bent down, opened the magic sealing box on the table, pointed to the left ears of the six barbarians neatly stacked inside, and said loudly: "I exchange merits!" The items ordered are not the spoils of ordinary barbarians, or other things, but real barbarian corpses, and I brought back their left ears!"

"Who can have my affairs as important?" the noble boy said proudly.

The young nobleman showed off to the female staff proudly. The female staff smiled a little forcedly, with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't dare to hesitate. She just said: "You are from El City. Hero, naturally you can deal with your affairs first, I don't think that Mister Magician will care too much, right!"

"If you have this thing, you can get special treatment, can you get preferential treatment?" I glanced at the young nobleman with a half-smile, and took out an unusually heavy magic-sealing box from the magic backpack, put it on the coffee table, and When everyone was a little hesitant, they opened the lid of the magic sealing box, and the left ear of the barbarian piled up like a hill in front of everyone, and the ear of the barbarian inside was like a treasure chest full of treasures.

The female staff stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of her, and the nobles also stared dumbfounded...
