Chapter Fourteen: Elphalia's Biscuits

The sound came from above the alley.

Xu Nan raised his head and inadvertently saw a touch of stunning whiteness. He looked at the owner of the voice calmly.

The latter is dressed in animal skins, and the pants on the crotch can cover the bottom of the legs. This girl seems to have a unique talent in cold resistance. When Xu Nan met her in the Green Dragon Tavern a while ago, she was also dressed like this. A stubborn temperament that is not afraid of the severe cold.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Nan greeted Irene.

"Because this is my home." Irene blinked, she still had a cup of black tea in her hand, she looked sleepy, probably because the night life was too exciting, and she just woke up now.

"Why is our meeting place set here?"

Xu Nan couldn't help complaining.

"Because Irene is my friend. Xu...Mr. Su, do you know each other?"

Green was a little surprised.

Xu Nan was silent.

Okay, let's just say that Wildfire City is really small.

Under Irene's greeting, the two men entered her attic without avoiding suspicion.

"Be gentle, Mrs. Griffin hates men the most."

"When she was young, she received too many men, and as a result, she got an infectious disease and blinded both eyes. Now she will curse when she hears men's footsteps."

Erin shrugged and pointed to the floor.

Green nodded, apparently he knew this, and Irene probably was introducing her living situation to Xu Nan when she said this.

Well, it's not a good loft, probably because the rent is cheap to live here.

As a descendant of Elfarians and Icelanders, it is not bad to have a place to live in Wildfire City. Irene seems to be living a chic life, but in fact, three meals a day may be a problem.

"We'll just wait here."

Green tidied his clothes and said, "At night, they will go door to door to recruit strong men. They can't see anything if they are blind, just find a chance to mix into the team; these people are all working on night shifts. You can enter the botanical garden."

Xu Nan looked at Irene.

Green smiled easily: "She will keep it a secret for us."

"Because I'm her script and her only reader."

Irene snorted coldly, seeming very dissatisfied.

In Green's explanation, Xu Nan understood that this girl really wanted to become a great playwright.

It's a pity that her talent is limited, and her cultural level can only barely reach the level of preliminary writing. If she hadn't met Green later and mastered more vocabulary with the help of the latter, she would have never been able to write.

The illegitimate child from the Cebalon family and the half-breed of Alphalia have a strange resonance, and the two become friends.

But that didn't stop Green from complaining about Erin's article.

"She wrote the best sleep aid. For a while, I was because of...you know...because of that anxious insomnia. The only solution was to pick up her book in the middle of the night, and after reading a few volumes, I would faint sleepy; once I even fell asleep in the bathroom reading her book and was scolded by my wife the next day..."

Green complained crazily, it seems that the talent of complaining has nothing to do with intelligence.

Erin's face became very unhappy:

"Dear Mr. Sebalon, haven't you explained in detail how you were greened?"

Green scratched his head in embarrassment, and gave Xu Nan a look.

Xu Nan smiled, indicating that he understood.

In the past few days, Green must have done what he said, and it has worked; he just quietly lost an identification technique and found that this guy is already a third-level warlock!

He has been promoted to two levels in three days, which is already a rocket-like upgrade speed; it can be seen from this that the potential of the green hat warlock is terrifying. If Xu Nan is given a chance to choose, he will definitely choose...Reject!

Nonsense, is this stuff a human can bear?

Xu Nan thought that what he had done was just a stopgap measure. With the increase in strength, this kid Green...may slowly and completely fall into a bottomless abyss.

Human desires are endless, especially when you experience that power, you will have an unstoppable desire for more power.

When the time comes... Hehe, yes, Green loves his wife very much, but in the future, who knows?

Xu Nan watched coldly, not feeling how clever she was.

Warlock Ron's blood naturally has some flaws. If he doesn't optimize it, sooner or later, he will fall into the bottomless abyss.

"Anyway, you have nothing to do, why not read my new writing!"

Irene yawned, and threw a large stack of manuscript papers to Green without any explanation.

Green made a bitter face, and after seeking Xu Nan's opinion, he began to watch.

Irene didn't seem to care, but Xu Nan found a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

"I still care about my work."

"Show it to Green, but don't show it to me, because I'm afraid of being accused more."

Xu Nan sighed softly in his heart.

Anyway, he was going to spend an afternoon. He turned on the system of Paradise Lost and browsed some information boringly.

By the way, he was considering whether to buy some spells for himself.

He can already buy tenth-level spells. Although Xu Nan's fireball can be used as a fireball with the addition of [Secret Technique - Spell Optimization] and other specialties, but advanced spells are still irreplaceable.

Especially in the crisis-ridden situation in Wildfire City, you can't count on hugging your thigh anytime, anywhere!

He began to study the list of spells.

Time passed by, and Xu Nan still hadn't finalized which spells could be used to buy shame points. It was getting more and more difficult to earn, and he had to learn to throttle before opening up.

If it doesn't work, let's deal with these spells for a while longer!

Fortunately, he still has the Bileg combination punch!

At this time, Xu Nan suddenly noticed that Green, who had been complaining about Irene's works before, was actually very nervous!

His hands gripped the manuscript paper tightly, and there was sweat on his forehead.

He seems to be attracted by the storyline, and he can't extricate himself.

"Write a good story?"

Xu Nan narrowed his eyes.

Not long after, Green let out a sigh of relief.

He has complicated eyes and seems to still be immersed in the world of the story.

"Tell me what happened?"

He looked at Irene impatiently: "Have they found the disappearing partner? What kind of mechanism is the moving stone statue? What is the purpose of the man behind the scenes?"

His words choked out like a machine gun, and Irene froze there.

Immediately, she laughed happily.

"Mr. Seballon, you don't seem to be asleep."

Green scratched his head, showing an incredible look:

"Eileen, this story is different."

"It's a stark difference from what you've written before, which were really just shit, but this one is different..."

Xu Nan complained in her heart, no matter how powerful the play is, it is still scum in front of my Tianchao Shuangwen.

At least in terms of reading pleasure, these relatively backward creative methods are incomparable.

He wondered if he should steal some to copy, but the fusion of worlds is a matter of time, what if the original owner finds out?

When he was thinking this way, Green was already pleading:

"Sorry! I apologize to you!"

"You are an absolutely brilliant writer."

"I just want to know how it ends?"

After enjoying Green's compliment, Irene laughed and said, "I haven't figured out the ending yet."

"Thanks to the Seron wine that the city lord invited me to drink, I can have such a good inspiration!"

"Recently, I have been dreaming. There are many strange fragments in the dream, and there are also some whispers. I found a lot of inspiration from it... It's a pity that the Seron wine is gone."

She looked at Xu Nan with ambiguous eyes.

Green drank a cup of tea before calming down:

"Honestly, it's an absolute masterpiece as long as it has a happy ending."

"However, to be honest, there is too much horror and gloomy content in it. It is completely different from your previous fairy tale style. It surprised me. The description of some monsters made me unbelievable and unimaginable. In short, it's a bit too twisted and scary..."

Xu Nan listened quietly, and there was a slight discrepancy.

"Can I see your manuscript?"

he asks.

"I'm sorry... Lord City Master, when I finish writing the book, I will definitely offer it with both hands. Now, it's not enough."

Irene showed an apologetic smile, and happily put away the manuscript carefully.

Xu Nan shrugged and said nothing.

"I invite you to eat small biscuits!"

Irene graciously ran into the bedroom and changed into the cook's clothes, and went downstairs like a cheerful little bee.

Soon, the aroma of cooking came from downstairs.

"She's a good girl." Green looked at Xu Nan.

Xu Nan stood up suddenly:

"Help me watch the wind."

After that, he took three steps at a time and ran to Irene's bedside, which seemed to be the place where she wrote, and there was a very old quill pen.

He found the manuscript and quickly browsed through it. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Irene had only one manuscript, he would have eaten it right away.

"this story……"

Xu Nan half knelt on the ground and muttered.

"Mr. Xu Nan, although I admire you very much, but peeping into other people's privacy..."

Green was a little embarrassed.

Xu Nan stood up abruptly:

"Help me keep it secret first, it's for the good of Irene."

"Don't you think this work is too strange?"

"I have some guesses, but I can't say yet..."

Green thought for a while. Obviously, a 9-point intelligence can only support him to read popular books, but cannot think about deeper things.

"Then what should I do?"

he asks.

"Shut up and eat a biscuit."

Xu Nan replied with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Irene, who carried her skirt and walked upstairs with a smile, gently put down the tray in her hand:

"Epharia's biscuits!"

"As much as I hate those people, their biscuits are really good and I learned that at a very young age."

"Try it."

She smiled sweetly, and on her fair face, a few light blue lines appeared faintly.

...

into the night.

Erin went out to work.

The two men are still waiting.

Sure enough, as Green said, there were noisy sounds from the streets and alleys. The guards of Sebalon were recruiting strong men from door to door. The employees of the plantation had never been fixed positions, so Xu Nan was given an opportunity.

He threw a sleep spell to the old lady Griffin, and together with Green, he pretended to be the young man of the family, followed a small captain, and mixed into the team.

In the middle of the night, these people were assembled, left the north gate, and slowly headed for the plantation in the north of Wildfire City.

Looking at the dark team, Xu Nan suddenly seemed to see a motley shadow.

The shadow lurks beneath the ranks like a demon's claw.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward firmly.

But the people who were moving forward numbly did not respond.

After walking for about two hours, they arrived at the entrance of the plantation.

According to Green's introduction, this group of people will work in the plantation for about half a month, and then they will be replaced.

"Come forward in line and get your job number and seat!"

Someone held a kerosene lamp, waved a whip in the cold night and shouted loudly:

"Work hard, have clothes to wear, and food to eat; make trouble deliberately, and have food, that is my whip!"

After that, he slammed the ground twice hard, and the snow splashed.

The people of the ice field endured all this silently. In their view, the overseers of Sebalon are not too much. After all, they are just poor people and not slaves. Those slaves who work in the plantation are really miserable. It is said that the average life expectancy will not exceed six months. I don’t know. Is it true or false.

Wearing a fraudster mask, Xu Nan looked like a man from the ice field at this time, and went up to get his job number and position.

Well, he seems to be in charge of a simple extraction process.

There will be a special person in charge of teaching the specific operation, and he only needs to follow along.

After the workstations are allocated, corresponding people will come to pick them up with kerosene lamps.

Many icelanders seem to be familiar with the road, so although there are many people at night, the order is not chaotic.

Xu Nan and Green were assigned to two positions, and the latter said that he would find a way to slip away directly.

Xu Nan was prepared to wait and see what happened.

It's just that before he successfully blended into the plantation, a mutation happened!

The overseer with the kerosene lamp and the long whip suddenly cursed at the bewildered Icelanders, and whipped them over in a burst of whips!

"I knew you untouchables wanted to kill me!"

"Still whispering in my ear?"

"I killed you!"

His eyes gradually became bloodshot and turned an abnormal red.

At the entrance of the plantation, the order suddenly became chaotic!

At first, the beaten Icelanders didn't dare to fight back; who knew that the supervisor became more and more fierce, Xu Nan keenly noticed that strange lines appeared on his face, and his skin became cracked.

He hit people and tickled them.

He scratched and scratched, and the skin of the entire chin was scratched off. Under the light of the kerosene lamp, there were bloody wounds and some wriggling and thin tongue-like objects...

"Mutation? Cthulhu? Whisper of the ancient gods?"

Xu Nan, who had been skeptical about the plantation for a long time, immediately proposed three possibilities.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared and rushed into the crowd.

With just one blow, he beheaded the overseer.

"It's not a pity to die if you drink and go crazy during working hours."

He said loudly on purpose.

...
