The owl Falcon hovered over a forest and soon sensed the location of the detailed work.
It was a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter. He put down his hunting fork and stretched out his hand to let the owl Falcon fall on his forearm.
Manda guessed right. It depends not only on strong search ability, but also on the power of spells. Owl falcons and hunters are controlled by barken''s spells. They can feel each other''s position.
The hunter touched the neck of the owl Falcon and its wings. On its wings, he saw the scars left by Medusa.
The scar was small, but he didn''t escape the hunter''s eyes. His cheek twitched and he saw the beacon on the owl Falcon''s leg in the twinkling of an eye.
It was obviously not his familiar beacon. It was the wrong size and color.
The hunter untied the beacon and didn''t open it. He stared at the owl Falcon for a while. Although they knew each other very well, the owl Falcon couldn''t speak and couldn''t give him any answer.
After a long hesitation, he put the letter box aside, took out his paper and pen, and wrote back first.
The letter briefly wrote down the information collected in recent days. At the end of the letter, he asked about the replacement of the letterhead.
Alone in the southeast for so long, caution has always been his way of survival. He will never open the letter box until he receives a reply from bucken.
After writing the reply, he found a new stationery to seal it. The hunter was about to wrap the stationery around the owl Falcon''s leg. Suddenly, the owl Falcon pecked at his arm.
Startled, the hunter was pecked off a large piece of flesh in his left hand. He returned and picked up the hunting fork beside him. The owl Falcon avoided the hunting fork and jumped to the letter box he had put aside.
It knew it was dangerous, but it had no choice.
The hunting fork hit its wings. It pecked the letter box on the ground and kicked it at the feet of the hunter.
It endured the pain and flew up, watching the sparks splash on the hunter''s face.
The smoke rose and the hunter rolled and wailed.
The owl Falcon waved its wings until it watched the hunter turn to ashes.
It squatted on the branches, pulled off the feathers stuck to the wound, gasped a few times, and flew into the night sky again.
Before long, it flew to the empty space it had just passed and shouted at Manda sitting on the ground.
Its voice is very sad, like a crying woman.
Manda watched the owl Falcon leave and got up to the people: "go and collect the body for the fine work."
The lion girl smiled and said, "did you succeed?"
Worm bared his teeth: "I should go too. Ogg said tonight is the best time for me to crack the wine recipe."
Guatel said, "take me to buy a girl tomorrow."
Manda didn''t say a word. According to the instructions of the owl falcon, she came to the forest, saw the hunter''s quiver and hunting fork, and saw the ashes that remained in the residual temperature.
Medusa sniffed and said, "yes, it''s the smell of the dead."
Manda carefully picked up the beacon pecked by the owl Falcon and put it into the Styx island.
It''s very useful. Maybe you can steal one of bucken''s secrets.
……
That night, Manda sent worm back to the seven star mountain. The next morning, he took guatel to a small courtyard.
Here lives a businessman, also known as a craftsman, who lives by selling cheap jewelry, not fake jewelry, but cheap jewelry with clear and real prices. There is a necklace made of pebbles, a bracelet made of fruit stones, a polished bright copper brooch, and a little special work method. It looks like gold.
A craftsman like this can earn almost dozens of copper to support his family every day. This is a typical kind family. Manda really doesn''t want to attack them, but guatel has a crush on their daughter.
After entering the door, Manda didn''t know how to speak. The honest businessman thought he was coming to buy jewelry and quickly took out some decent things.
"As like as two peas, please look at this necklace first, and look at the carver and the painted flower, almost exactly like the agate, and the pair of earrings. Look at the pendant, polished and pearls..."
Manda took out a gold coin and said with a smile, "I want all these."
The merchant was surprised, shook his head and said, "if not so much, if not..."
Guatel sniffed and said, "and your daughter."
Manda really wanted to slap guatel to death. It was really impolite. The merchant looked at Manda in amazement and asked in a low voice, "what did he just say?"
"I, that''s not what we mean..."
Guatel shouted again, "we want to buy your daughter!"
The merchant was so angry that he threw the gold coin in Manda''s face: "please leave here immediately and leave my house!"
The merchant''s wife came out with a wooden stick and shouted, "get out of here! Ruffians from other countries!"
The merchant''s two daughters also came out to scold. Guatel saw the two girls and refused to go: "I want them, I want to buy them!"
"How dare you humiliate me!" the merchant wrestled with guatel, his wife joined the battle with a wooden stick, and two girls rushed out with knives and forks. The scene was completely out of control.
Manda quickly took out her purse and shouted to the merchant, "just discuss it. We just want to discuss it with you!"
The merchant looked at the purse, pointed to Manda''s nose and said, "get out! The farther you get, the better!"
Manda took out another big cloth bag, which contained two hundred gold coins.
He opened the cloth bag and the golden light quieted the people.
The merchant clenched his fist and said to Manda, "I''m a father. I love my daughter. I just want my daughter to be happy. Why should you..."
With tears in her eyes, the merchant''s wife said, "Why are you so outsider? Guests from afar, come to the house and have a glass of water."
Manda was embarrassed. He almost forgot where this was.
This is xiangteng County, which everyone is trying to survive.
……
The merchant took out a can of wine: "this is the wine when we got married. I have kept it for more than 20 years and have never been willing to drink it."
The merchant''s wife brought a pot of chicken soup: "this is the only chicken in our family. Don''t dislike it if it''s not well received."
The wine is very fragrant and has a special sweetness.
The meat is tender and has a special greasiness.
After drinking the wine and eating the meat, it''s time to talk about business.
Guatel fell in love with the merchant''s little daughter. Manda offered 200 gold coins. The merchant couple sent blessings to their daughter.
Guatel also took a fancy to the merchant''s eldest daughter. Manda gave another 200 gold coins. The merchant couple sent their blessing to their daughter again.
The two girls blushed and peeped at guatel from time to time.
The whole process is smooth and natural, and the smiles of both sides are sincere and sincere.
Next, guatel thought it was good to be a mother
Manda smiled bitterly and took out two hundred gold coins.
The merchant couple were surprised, but soon understood what guatel meant.
The merchant smiled and said, "do you want to live with us?"
His wife''s eyes were wet again: "what a lovely child."
The merchant couple agreed to guatel''s request and were willing to go to that beautiful and happy place with him.
During a meal, everything was settled so smoothly. Manda''s eyes were a little blurred and fell asleep on the table with guatel.
The merchant patted Manda on the shoulder, pushed guatel with saliva, and called several times: "wake up, distant guests, are you drunk?"
The "eldest daughter" standing aside frowned and said, "what''s your name? It''s good for them to take your medicine until now."
"The second daughter" took out a short knife and said, "clean them up and divide the gold coins."
"Mother" frowned, "you didn''t help. Do you want to brazen up and divide gold coins?"
"The eldest daughter" sank her face and said, "old woman, don''t forget who they came for. Do you think they like your old face?"
"Mother" picked up the axe next to her, scolded and said, "bitch, who are you talking to! Don''t look whose home this is!"
"You think we''d like to live in your kennel!"
"I don''t want to live. Get out now! If I hadn''t seen your meat and made some money, you thought I would take you in!"
……
The two young girls are not the couple''s children at all, and there is no good family here.
The couple were wanted for selling fake jewelry, two girls were hunted down for cheating the noble childe, and two desperate liars lived together here.
Listening to their quarrel, Manda almost laughed.
This is xiangteng county. It is a place outside the law. It is a paradise for businessmen, swindlers, migratory warblers and outlaws.
This is their usual means of deception. Two girls go out to seduce ignorant teenagers like guatel and lead them to the door. If they meet poor people, they will cheat them to buy some fake jewelry.
If they have some savings and can take out a gold coin like Manda, let the two girls spend more money and drain their pockets.
When Manda took out her purse, they changed their mind and were ready to steal it.
When Manda took out a bag of gold coins, they completely changed their mind. The money was worth killing.
The quarrel became more and more fierce. The merchant came forward and advised, "let''s finish the serious work first, and then argue about other things. I''m the owner of this house. It''s best to listen to my arrangement in my family, so that none of us will suffer."
The three women quieted down, and the merchant took a short knife and prepared to cut guatel''s neck first.
Manda sighed in her heart. After following herself for so long, guatel was still so simple.
He moved his golden finger and was about to kill the merchant. Suddenly, the merchant screamed and sat on the ground with his bare wrist.
A pair of scissors suddenly appeared in guatel''s clothes and cut the merchant''s right hand accurately.
Guatel raised his head, rubbed his eyes and said, "do you have any wine? I haven''t had enough."
The merchant''s wife screamed and ran outside the door.
A parrot made of wood suddenly flew out of guatel''s sleeve. The parrot caught up with the woman, pecked the back of the woman''s head with a sharp iron beak, and soon pecked out a big hole.
The merchant exclaimed loudly, and two girls sat on the ground screaming.
Manda decided to continue pretending to sleep. It seems that he doesn''t need to do it this time.
