Chapter 83 latrine
Nobles like Kenneth Hyde, who received orthodox education under the Golden Law from a young age.
They held a contemptuous and distant attitude towards all "heretics" other than the Golden Tree faction, such as hybrids, children of platinum, demi-humans, and children of ominous signs.
This is a prejudice ingrained in one's bones.
Continue heading north.
Xia Tong also dealt with two or three groups of clueless demi-humans.
In one of the ruins, he also discovered the body of an unidentified traveler.
Xia Tong found a production notebook on his body.
After reading it, Xia Tong was completely bewildered.
The only thing that can be made is a tool called a latrine pot.
The ingredients are quite simple: golden excrement, mushrooms, and cracked pots.
Although it sounds disgusting, this thing can inflict a highly poisonous status ailment on enemies, so it's actually quite useful.
After thinking about it, I realized that having more skills is never a bad thing.
Xia Tong then prepared to collect some golden excrement as well.
As for mushrooms, they have always been a staple ingredient for Xia Tong. They can be used to make tools such as fire pots, and can also be used to make soup in critical moments.
Just as we were about to leave the forest.
Suddenly, I heard the melodious, plaintive sound of a bowed string instrument.
Xia Tong and her companion followed the sound and indeed found a wandering merchant.
"Oh, guests who have come from afar."
"Would you like to listen to some music? I have some pieces I'm good at."
The wandering merchant was located on a high slope at the edge of the forest, with a wide view overlooking the sea.
His lazy little donkey was lying quietly to the side, resting and chewing on grass.
"You merchants of a nomadic people are all natural-born musicians!"
Kenneth Hyde plopped down on the ground and let out a heavy sigh, completely disregarding his image.
After a long and anxious journey, I can finally take a good rest.
As he savored the melodious music, he felt a deep sense of relaxation.
Xia Tong joined in the conversation, mentioning the wandering merchant in front of the Moen city wall and the Galley in the Ailey Church.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the businessman's goodwill.
"Oh? So you're a friend of Karlie's."
The wandering merchant smiled at the two of them, his eyes softening considerably.
"I'm selling some items, and since you're all friends, I can offer you some discounts."
Xia Tong gestured for him to open the package so she could think about what to buy.
Xia Tong currently has nearly five thousand Runes in his possession.
Of these, 1,600 runes were golden runes obtained from saving Kenneth Hyde.
Then came the Rune Bear I just killed, and some minor groups of demi-humans I killed along the way.
In total, there are more than five thousand runes.
As for the other miscellaneous runes, Xia Tong did not calculate them in detail.
I took a quick look at the order form.
Xia Tong spent 1,500 runes to buy a weapon craftsman's notes.
This thing was originally priced at two thousand.
He managed to get his hands on it for a friend's price of 1,500 by virtue of his "friendship with Kali".
It contains the recipe for Brave Flesh, a great item that can temporarily boost physical attack power.
What surprised Xia Tong the most was...
This merchant even has Torina's Water Lily in his possession.
This thing is an essential core material for making a sleep pot!
For enemies with thick skin or agile movements, such as the God-skinned Noble, throwing a Sleep Pot is a deadly weapon.
So Xia Tong also bought some.
It's also a friend's price, only 700 runes each.
Xia Tong bought three, and the kind-hearted wandering merchant rounded it up, charging only two thousand runes.
It cost a total of 3,500 runes.
Among the wandering merchant's goods, Xia Tong also found some Torina Arrows.
These arrows are coated with a sleeping potion and are also a form of control magic.
Unfortunately, he couldn't use it well.
Because Xia Tong only had one light crossbow.
Although it can be fired with a crossbow, crossbow bolts and bow bolts are not interchangeable.
Moreover, he had tried using a bow and arrow before, but his accuracy was extremely poor.
It's not something you can master in a short time. Light crossbows are better; as long as you get a general aim, you can usually hit the target.
But archery is fucking difficult!
Xia Tong mentally complained, then had no choice but to give up the idea of buying Torina's Arrow.
And these arrows aren't cheap; they cost 160 runes each!
Make a few minor adjustments.
Xia Tong then greeted Kenneth Hyde and prepared to leave alone for Hyde Fortress.
"Sir Kenneth, the situation in the fortress is currently unclear."
"Is there any token or keepsake that can represent your identity?"
"well……"
Kenneth Hyde sighed softly and shrugged helplessly.
"I have the token, but the soldiers no longer listen to me."
"That crazed knight commander bewitched them, and the loyal soldiers who were willing to follow my orders were almost all killed or wounded during the process of escorting me out."
Seeing the helpless look on the down-and-out lord's face, Xia Tong couldn't help but shake his head.
He turned to the wandering merchant and asked him to look after Kenneth Hyde for the time being.
Kenneth Hyde was immediately displeased upon hearing this, feeling that his self-esteem had been hurt.
"Hey! You faded one! Do you see me as a burden?"
"I, Kenneth Hyde, though injured, am by no means a burden!"
Kenneth Hyde was so angry this time that he stopped calling Xia Tong by her name altogether.
Then I saw him place his right hand on his chest and close his eyes.
A soft, golden light emanated from between his fingers.
That was the light of prayer.
Indeed, Kenneth Hyde was not entirely without merit.
That day, we were trapped on the arched bridge because we had run out of ammunition and food, and our mental strength was exhausted. We couldn't even pray.
Now, after a night's rest and with Xia Tong's warm stone care along the way, her energy has been restored, and she is naturally able to release her prayer again.
Even so, Xia Tong did not intend to bring him along.
The risk is too great.
The fortress was full of mutineers and crazed knights; taking him along would be like being a sitting duck.
Kenneth Hyde may have been stubborn, but he knew the truth in his heart.
He clearly didn't want to take any more risks.
So he muttered, "Alright, I'll wait for your message here," and obediently stayed in the wandering merchant's camp.
……
Xia Tong turned and left.
Because at this point, we were already very close to Hyde Fortress.
Standing here, you can even see the outline of the majestic fortress on the edge of the cliff in the distance.
Before nightfall, Xia Tong finally arrived at the blessing point on the hillside below Hyde Fortress.
Seeing that faint, warm golden light, Xia Tong's heart calmed down.
Each blessing point allows Xia Tong to quickly recover her physical strength and mental energy.
It can even speed up the healing of wounds, making it a perfect resupply point.
Suddenly, Xia Tong's eyes narrowed.
He looked up at the entrance to the fortress.
In the hazy twilight, a figure stumbled out of the fortress.
He was covered in blood, and after taking only a few steps, he collapsed to the ground and never moved again.
Fortunately, Xia Tong had finished resting and was in full swing.
He quickly stepped forward to check.
