Chapter 3 A Glass of '1 Rye Wine

Right and wrong place, should not stay for a long time.

Charlotte didn't stay long at the scene of the "Goblin Tragedy", after all, the carnivorous beasts in the Silverpine Forest are still very ferocious.Although the goblin's meat is fishy and dirty, but the wild wolf and the grizzly bear don't care.

He had been in the woods three days, and had done well; it was time to go back to the town and recuperate.

Charlotte took her own clay golem and wild boar, and drove back all the way across the mountains.They don't chase rabbits when they see them, and don't chase pheasants when they meet them.All the way was hurrying, and when the sun was setting, I rushed back to the nearest town - Grujar.

That was the first human gathering place that Charlotte encountered after crossing, and of course the only one. He hasn't gone far yet.

Of course, since we have traveled to such a magical world, who can stand the loneliness and die ordinary in an unknown town?

Charlotte recalled the clay stone demon and the stone-tooth wild boar from the edge of the forest. After all, the Mages are still Mages in this world.

In such a remote town, it's better not to be too shocking.If a battle really breaks out and a helper needs to be summoned, Charlotte can summon her followers at any time, provided of course that she has enough magic power.

Charlotte saw Gruyal's wall from a distance, about two stories high, five or six meters high.It is a simple wall with a gazebo on it, and the town guards with bows and arrows are watching the forest in the distance.If danger is found, the alarm bell in the observatory will be sounded.

Because in Silverpine Forest, some wild beasts or monsters often come out to harass the town, so their mission is very critical.It's also not very safe.

"Hey, Charlotte, you are back. Wow, you can bring back a big bag every time. Is the Silver Pine Forest your back garden?" Hans, who was standing guard at the gate of the town, saw Charlotte from afar. shouted.Charlotte has a good relationship with them.

"Yes, I just came back from my Silver Pine Farm." Charlotte was carrying a large buckskin backpack at this time, and he had already taken the things he wanted to deal with in the town from the inventory. Out.

His inventory has 40 slots and can hold a lot of things.But he couldn't use it in public, so he put it in the large deerskin backpack he sewed early on.He also has a rabbit, a pheasant, and two squirrels hanging from his waist.Like a rewarding hunter.

Many times the hunters in the town dare not go too deep into the Silverpine Forest.If a hunter encounters a wild goblin hunting party, the result is an extra main course for the goblin's dinner.Without going deep into the forest, the harvest will definitely not be so much.

Charlotte patted the bearded guard who was less than 30 years old, and said, "I guessed that you were on guard today. Now, here are some pine nuts for everyone as a snack. This is for the little one." Hans is a toy."

As he spoke, he gave Hans a small bag of pine nuts and a big pine cone twice the size of an adult's fist.Hans' son was just five years old. He was a tough boy, and Charlotte liked it very much.

"Ha, I know you can get good things every time!"

Hans and the surrounding guards divided the pine nuts one by one.It is said that Grujar guards the Silver Pine Forest, and pine nuts and mushrooms are nothing at all.

But the ripening season of pine nuts is from October to November, and it is only August now. These pine nuts were all taken out by Charlotte in the squirrel's warehouse.Poor squirrel, not only will he be eaten, but even the little food in the nest will be spared.

Charlotte said goodbye to the guards and walked into the town. After entering the gate, there was a stone-paved street at first, but the stone was very rough, so the road was far from smooth, but it was already the best road in the whole town.

In other small alleys, it is either to use gravel to fool it, or it is simply land.If it rains, there will be puddles and mud all over the place.

The buildings facing the street on both sides are two- or three-story masonry buildings. The lower floor is mostly shops, and the upper floor is used for living.In some second-floor windowsills, there is a wooden stick on which linen clothes are hung to dry.This reminded Charlotte of the story of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing.

Charlotte is not sure about other places, but as far as this Gruyal is concerned, it seems to be Europe in the Middle Ages on earth.Pedestrians are all dusty, and you have to know that it is very laborious to take a bath at this time, so their hygiene is not good.It's normal to smell like sweat.

In fact, during the past three months, Charlotte took a bath in a small river or stream in the wild.Because it is very important and laborious to dig a well, because it is manually dug.

It may take a dozen or so people more than half a month to complete.The premise is that the location of the excavation is selected correctly and the groundwater level is high.

In terms of houses, there are only two-story brick and stone buildings next to the main street, and the houses in other places are all one-story.This world has never heard of steel and concrete, so it is a very extravagant thing to want to build a building.

The wealthier townspeople live in brick and stone houses, and most people live in wooden houses.There are even hay roofs, and the rotten hay has to be replaced every once in a while.In short, this alien world is very backward and poor.But there is magic...

Charlotte first found a grocery store. This store does not sell daily necessities, but some herbs, leather, tools and the like.He sells it himself and also buys these raw materials.Every time Charlotte came back from Silverpine Forest, she would go to this grocery store to process some of her harvest.

"What? 2 silver coins each? What are you kidding? Open your mung bean eyes and take a closer look! This is the skin of a forest wolf in the prime of life, no wounds, and high quality! Add 50 coppers, or I will Get the trade union to sell..."

Two wolf skins cost 5 silver coins, three rabbit skins cost 1 silver and 50 copper, some herbal medicine costs 3 silver and 80 copper, a goblin rotten leather armor costs 6 silver, and a rusty hatchet costs 1 silver... Miscellaneous things.A total of 19 silver were sold.While walking, Charlotte shook the purse in her hand.

"This old bastard is getting more and more stingy. If it weren't for the only grocery store in the town, it wouldn't be cheaper for him..." Gruyal is not a prosperous place, on the contrary, it is a town in a ravine .

Fortunately, the location here is remote but there is no trouble.The resident population is about [-] to [-], and there are also some floating population who come to buy and sell things from nearby farms and villages.Only a few times a year, small caravans come here to buy leather, pine nuts, pine oil, mushrooms and other specialties.

Although this grocery store doesn't look like a big business, it really can't be opened without certain connections and wrists.Most of the people who come to sell things are foreign adventurers or hunters, but don't expect them to have a good temper.Most of the buyers are caravans who come here to buy goods.

Ordinary people here seem to be illiterate in the Middle Ages, let alone literate, they lack logic, disorganization, and can't even understand the words.

So the owner of the grocery store is really a figure in the town.It should be said that the status of businessmen in this world is really not low.It is completely different from the ancient times of my Great Heavenly Dynasty.

At this time, Charlotte came to a building. The building was a small wooden three-story building, and the front door was not small. Of course, it was here.

The two solid wooden doors were wide open, and there were many people inside.Right above the gate is a large wooden board with an emblem painted on it: crossed swords and axes on the shield, and the letters RS below.This is the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is a large but relatively loose organization.They are found in various countries, some are big and some are small, some are so powerful that even the city lord has to give up three points of face, some are as small as Gruyal, there are no strong people, and there are not even many members.

Charlotte strode in and walked directly to the counter.At the counter was a young man in his twenties, who was sorting out parchment documents with his head bowed.

Charlotte knocked on the table and said, "Hey, little Jimmy, call old Jimmy for me. How many ears I have here for him to count..."

"Ah! Mr. Charlotte! It's great that you're back..." Little Jimmy is at a passionate age, and he admires Charlotte who can come and go freely in the Silver Pine Forest. Fully use the skill "Bragging B".

In Charlotte's mouth, he is a hero who can come and go freely in the deep forest, and takes fighting against evil wild goblins and expelling wild beasts as his duty.Accompanied by danger, sleeping in solitude... In short, it is very awesome and very bright.

Well, you can probably refer to characters like Batman + Robin Hood + Yang Guo...

"Ha, I have time to tell you about this adventure, first go call your father, I have a bunch of ears here that need to be rewarded."

……

When Charlotte came out from the Adventurer's Guild, she had 11 more silver coins in her purse.This time the harvest was good, with a total of 30 silver coins in the bag.You must know that ordinary guards in the town only earn 20 silver coins a month.Sometimes they even take some food and the like to cover the debt.After three days of wandering in the deep forest, Charlotte caught up with the guard's income for a month and a half.

After disposing of her belongings, Charlotte was also hungry, so she walked directly to the only tavern in the town.

The front of the tavern was small, with a sign hanging on the door, engraved with a wooden wine glass, and there were forks and spoons beside it.This is the only tavern in Grujal, the Pine Needles.

Charlotte pushed the door open, and an atmosphere called hustle and bustle hit her face, shaking people's spirits.It was almost dinner time, and there were quite a few people in the tavern, some of whom were unfamiliar faces.

Gruyar is located in a remote place, and it is not a famous town, so it is not so prosperous.But there hasn't been much trouble here in decades, and the people are reasonably well off.Therefore, there are also some traveling merchants who drive their own animals and pull their own carts to trade.

He went straight to a table in front of the bar and sat down.Speaking of old Trevor, the owner of the tavern, after modifying the tavern according to Charlotte's proposal, the business has improved a lot.

Charlotte felt that it was mainly due to the few points of the recipes she provided. When Charlotte first arrived and didn't have much money, in order not to be beaten for eating the overlord meal, she provided some so-called "ancestral recipes".

But old Trevor refused to admit it, "Ah, your recipe is good, but my original recipe is the most authentic Middle-earth traditional recipe, which has gone through thousands of years!"

I bother!In this social environment where food and clothing are scarce, how dare you mention traditional dishes to me?Put all the food you can find into a pot and boil it into a paste.This is also called a traditional dish?You old shameless!

Old Trevor was an outstanding adventurer when he was young, so many years of adventure career has already sold his face.

As soon as Charlotte sat down, Aisha, the maid in the tavern, came over.Aisha is the daughter of the old Trevor. She is seventeen or eighteen years old, full of youth, and has a good figure; her light golden hair is combed into two braids. Although she has a little freckles, she looks very attractive with the deep facial features of a Caucasian. .

She looked at Charlotte, who was still covered in blood and dust, and said, "It's really good to see you come back intact."

"Ha! What are you talking about?" Charlotte said with a smile, "The deep silver pine forest is like my garden, who would get hurt in my own garden?" Charlotte said, "Master, I'm awesome!" , Silver Pine Forest is all about trivialities" expression.

"Oh..." Aisha deliberately elongated her voice, "I don't know who it was, but was surrounded by a group of wild goblins. If the white deer hadn't rescued him, it would have become goblin excrement to fertilize his garden by now! "

Aisha's joke made the drinkers in the tavern laugh, and they all knew the story.

"Hey, Charlotte! The wild goblins in your house are not easy to mess with!"

"Charlotte, remember to bring your white deer with you next time you're wandering around your house!" From time to time, a drunkard joked with Charlotte.

"Go and drink your wine! Even the rye wine from 82 can't stop your mouth..." Everyone laughed again when they heard this.

At the beginning, Charlotte saw that the girl in the tavern was good-looking, so she teased her and asked for a glass of 82-year rye wine.In the end, the girl's face turned red.As a result, the 82-year-old rye wine has become an enduring "stem" in this pub.

Every now and then, "I invite you to drink a glass of rye wine from 82." You talk about the lack of entertainment in this world, just such a joke, it's been more than three months, and you still bring it up every day, and you can't stop laughing look.
