Elite Mages’ Academy

"I told them that we are a passing adventure team and need to spend the night here. I hope they can provide some food and water." Gu Xiaoyue and Xiao Lin whispered.

"How did she answer?"

Gu Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought for a while: "Some vocabulary is not very clear, but it probably means that this is not a simple supply station, it seems to be specially set up for the nearby garrison to provide various supplies on a regular basis."

Xiao Lin's heart tightened, and he lowered his voice: "Could it be that they are all soldiers of Thunder Kingdom?"

"That's not true, they seem to be businessmen." Gu Xiaoyue pushed up her glasses, and her eyes were a little confused: "I am also very surprised that a country's army stationed at the border actually asks businessmen to provide supplies. It seems that they are not lying. "

Xiao Lin raised his head and looked at the next few people. Behind the woman, there was a whole group of men and women, who were also half curious and half alert looking at this side. Their clothes were different, not quite like the style of the army. Of course, he is not sure whether the army in the Norma world has the habit of uniform clothing. After all, they still have too little information, but it's too late to complain about not learning history well.

Xiao Lin asked: "Let's consider them businessmen, are they willing to provide food and water?"

Gu Xiaoyue's face was slightly strange: "They say they are businessmen and only accept transactions."

Xiao Lin was immediately dumbfounded. Of course he understood the meaning of the transaction, but the question was what they used for the transaction. He didn't think RMB could circulate in the Norma world.

Gu Xiaoyue added: "The currency in circulation in human countries in the Norma world is mainly precious metals, and they can also be bartered."

"Damn it! Just grab it!" Lu Renyi looked like he was going to kill and steal.

Xiao Lin shook his head. Leaving aside the fact that the opponent has more people than them and their strength is unknown, they have traveled a long distance for a day, and there are still wounded in the team. When merchants fight, it is better to avoid the casualties that can be avoided as much as possible.

Probably seeing their embarrassment, the Norma woman pointed to Lu Renyi, and chatted on the phone again.

Lu Renyi was startled, shrunk his neck, looked at Gu Xiaoyue nervously and said, "What is she talking about? Is she asking for my flesh? She is so ugly!"

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and understood what this woman meant. Sure enough, Gu Xiaoyue carefully distinguished the grammar, and then translated hesitantly: "She seems to be saying that something can be exchanged. I don't understand that word."

"It's the blade of the iguana." Xiao Lin didn't understand either, but apart from his body, the only thing that could be exchanged for Lu Renyi was the blade that had just been picked off the iguana's corpse.

"No! This is mine!" Lu Renyi was very unwilling.

Xiao Lin snatched the two pitch-black blades from his arms, and said, "Okay, let's talk about whether the things here can be brought back to the academy!"

The Norma woman took the blade, with a look of joy on her face, she said a lot of words, then turned back, Gu Xiaoyue said softly: "She promised, and asked us to wait for a while, and they will give us some water and food."

Xiao Lin exhaled slightly. No matter what, avoiding the battle was a good result. Thinking of food and water, everyone showed relaxed expressions.

"Bring a few wounded people in first." Xiao Lin ordered, just now because of fear that there might be a conflict, several wounded people didn't let them into the cave.

The few people who were injured by the iguana had no major problems, only the girl who accidentally ate the wild fruit was still weak. The poison of the wild fruit was not fatal, but it lasted for a long time. After entering the cave, she relied on the cold Lying on the rock wall, he licked his dry lips, and said blushingly, "I'm really sorry for bothering you."

"It's okay, you are too thirsty. Don't worry, there will be water later."

A few minutes later, several men came over with several jugs and bowls, and some dried meat, and left quickly after putting them on the ground. Although the two sides reached a deal,

But it is impossible to let go of the basic vigilance completely, and they are very conscious not to approach each other proactively.

The cool water is like fine nectar and jade dew at this moment. Everyone's eyes are shining, and they rush forward like crazy, scrambling to drink. The bowls sent by the other party are very limited, and those who don't grab the bowl simply bury their heads in the water tank and gulp Swallow.

"Damn! Are you disgusting!" A woman yelled in disgust, but after a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help imitating it.

Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly. He kept his water under control throughout the journey. Although he was thirsty, there was still a little water in the kettle, so he was not in a hurry to grab it with everyone. He took a piece of jerky and sat beside him, looking at the water. Gu Xiaoyue, who also didn't grab the water, tore the jerky in half, handed it over, and said, "Eat some, I saw that you didn't touch the biscuits in your bag at all along the way."

Gu Xiaoyue took the jerky, took a small bite, chewed for a long time and swallowed it, and said in a low voice: "If we can't find a supply station, biscuits are our last food reserves, so naturally we have to save them."

Xiao Lin smiled, and also took a bite of the jerky meat. He didn't know what it was. The meat was very dry and tasted bad. It felt like rotten meat. Glancing at the girl with a calm face, he forcibly held back the feeling of vomiting.

Although the meat was unpalatable, it was quite filling. After eating a few mouthfuls, Xiao Lin felt his stomach swell slightly. Looking at the remaining jerky, he calculated in his heart that if they were properly distributed, 20 of them could last two sky.

While thinking about how to ask for more food, Xiao Lin raised his head and drank the last water in the kettle, then got up to fill the kettle, but saw Lu Renyi who was picking up the meat suddenly let out an "ah" , fell straight in front of his eyes, rubbing his stomach and moaning in pain, others also fell down one after another.

Xiao Lin was shocked in his heart, in the corner of his eyes, several figures were rushing towards this side, already aware of something, he almost subconsciously raised the novice staff with his left hand, and released two consecutive ice bombs.

The light in the cave was very dim, and Xiao Lin didn't have time to use his mental power to slowly lock the enemy in the lightning fire, but fortunately, there were a lot of opponents and they were close to each other, two crystal ice bullets shot across two crooked lines He flew over in an oblique arc, and there were two consecutive screams and crisp crackling sounds, indicating that his two spells did not fail.

Gu Xiaoyue's vigilance is also very high. After the ice bomb, she followed up with three energy bombs in a row. She aimed at the crowd on the opposite side. Amidst the sound of explosions one after another, the three people who were hit directly turned into meat paste on the spot. , the person next to him was also affected by the explosion shock wave. Although he did not die, he fell down screaming and suffered injuries to varying degrees.

The sudden battle stunned many people on the spot. Although Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue's swift counterattacks could not completely block the Normas on the opposite side, their magical attacks seemed to be beyond their expectations. The sneak attack had been broken, and the opponent was not injured yet The people in the group had already stood up, each with their own weapons lined up to confront each other, but they seemed a little afraid of Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue, so they didn't dare to go up easily for a while. ) Book friends, pay attention!
