The Moon Gin Manor was on the left, and the Moss Town was on the right.
Angele responded with a smile. "Santiago?" he asked in a low voice.
Angele's eyebrows furrowed as he listened to the squirrel's description. He had an idea of what was going on.
"I've already told the same thing to three groups of people. Although I ate a lot of delicious food, most of them didn't make it back. Do you still want to go? "the light squirrel asked.
"Welcome, I'm Steven, a resident of this place. Are you here to stay?" the owner of the hotel asked loudly.
"But …"
"I don't know who built the Moon Gin Manor, but we prefer to call it the Moon Gin Garden. It's because of the fragrance of flowers coming out of it every year. Other than you humans, no other race dares to enter the garden. I once saw a formal knight leading a group of soldiers into the garden, but one of the soldiers escaped with his face covered in blood. Moreover, he has already become crazy. "
"Tell me the news first," Angele said with a smile.
After a while, Tom finished negotiating with the owner and entered the hotel. He talked with Angele for a while and then left. He needed to keep an eye on the carriage in case someone stole anything.
The man in the red robe shook his head. "Don't talk about it when you're outside."
The man in the red robe stepped aside and revealed the door of the hotel. "There are two people inside. I don't care where you're from, but we have the same goal. Please come in. "
"Yes." Tom nodded. Before he left, his family had already received 200 gold coins from Angele. It was a lot of money for the journey, and Angele still had to pay him his salary every month.
Angele walked in the front, and Tom followed behind. The sound of the horse's hooves attracted the attention of the two servants. One of them ran into the brick building to report the situation.
"How long will it take before the portal opens again?" Angele questioned.
"Fifteen silver coins per person per night," Tom answered.
"Hello," the servant greeted Angele.
In the living room on the first floor, there were three round mahogany tables. Two groups of people were sitting around two of the tables.
Tom changed the wheel of the carriage after several minutes. He put down the tools and stood up.
"Alright." The squirrel nodded helplessly and sat beside the Black Spot Mushroom. He leaned against the mushroom and slowly began speaking.
Angele walked to the empty table and sat down. The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat awkward and depressing. The red-robed man also walked in and sat down beside the black-robed man. He closed his eyes, not knowing if he was meditating or resting.
The brownish-yellow wooden houses were neatly arranged on both sides of the street. Beneath their feet was a dirty gray road. Occasionally, they could see some wet ground on the side of the road, which was obviously wet from the dirty water that was poured out.
Walking along the street, on the right side of the town, there was a three-story building. It was actually built with light yellow bricks. A strong black horse was tied to the side of the house, its head lowered as it gnawed on the lawn. Apart from that, there was also a horse carriage. It was also a two-horse carriage. The body of the carriage was white, and it was imprinted with the black emblem of a scale.
After a while, it was lunchtime. A fat woman in a gray apron walked in with a large tray and began to distribute food to the three tables.
The carriage traveled for about an hour before reaching a fork in the road. There was a brown wooden sign in front of the fork. The sign was shaped like a fork, and it pointed to two different roads. The name of the place and the direction of the arrow were written on the sign.
"About a month left?" Angele thought for a while and stood up. "Please follow me. I'll bring you some delicious food from the carriage. Thank you for your help. "
The old man and the young man narrowed their eyes when Angele entered the shop. The old man's eyebrows furrowed. It seemed like he did not want to see Angele.
After Angele finished eating, the owner of the shop walked to him and whispered something to him. The two of them stood up and walked to the second floor.
Every table was covered with black jerky, wheat biscuits, and steaming hot mushroom soup. Angele picked up the wheat cake and took a bite. It was dry and crispy, just like the soda crackers on Earth. The jerky looked like a rock. Angele threw a piece into his mouth, but he could not chew it. He swallowed it in the end. Only the mushroom soup tasted good. Angele drank the rest of the jerky's food.
Angele listened to the squirrel's description carefully and started thinking.
The squirrel drew several times on the ground and calculated the time. 'There's about a month left. When the crack opens, many birds will fly out of the manor and circle around the area. The sky will be filled with them for about an hour. If you don't come out after an hour, you won't be able to come out. The crack will close again, and the real Moon Gin Garden won't open until the next time the crack opens. '
The carriage stopped by the signboard. Angele got off the carriage and looked at the signboard.
Angele sat in the carriage, but he could no longer fall asleep. He turned his head and looked outside. The pine trees were moving backward, and there was no one around. There were some white stones on the green grass. He could also see some unknown creatures passing by.
Angele walked straight to the first floor of the hotel.
"Are there any precious herbs like the Dragon Scale Flower?" Angele asked.
Two men dressed like servants were chatting by the carriage.
Angele could feel the energy particles in their bodies, which meant that they were at least rank 2 Wizard apprentices. However, since they dared to come here after hearing about the Moon Gin Manor, it was unlikely that they were just rank 1 Wizard apprentices who were slightly stronger than average Wizard apprentices.
"Of course. What's the price?" Tom got off the carriage and started bargaining with the owner.
"I'm a Light Squirrel. Passerby, this is the Moss Mountain. If you keep going forward, you'll arrive at the Moon Gin Garden. Judging from your clothes, I think you're going there."
Angele nodded and got on the carriage. He continued moving forward.
Angele paid Tom and Tom's rent for two months without hesitation. The owner walked out of the room with a smile on his face.
"Not only the Dragon Scale Flower, but also the Starlight Grass, Hardin Grass, Giant Eye Flower, and many other precious herbs," the squirrel answered. "Also …"
Angele crouched and looked at the squirrel. "I'm going to the Moon Gin Garden. Can you help me? About this place? I'll pay you. For example, some soft white bread and salted peanuts. "
"You're right." Angele nodded.
"But sir, that's the price we've been paying for a long time."
Only formal Wizards could set up a resource point. There must be valuable materials in the resource point left by such a person. However, according to the squirrel's description, it seemed like the resource point was still hidden and would only be opened for a certain period of time.
Two young men walked out of the brick building. One of them was wearing a gray linen robe. He had short brown hair and a smile on his face. It seemed like he was the owner of the place. The other man was wearing a dark red robe and had a calm expression on his face. He was not handsome, but he was not ugly either. Although he looked average, he just stood by the door and stared at Angele. He was calm but there was something strange about him.
He took some snacks from the car for the bright squirrel and watched it wobble back into the woods with a bunch of snacks. Angele leaned against the side of the carriage and watched Tom change the wheels. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Not enough. It's too expensive. 14."
Angele looked at the ground. There were many marks on the right side. There were horse prints, wheels prints, and footprints. The road to the Moon Gin Garden was full of weeds. It seemed like no one had stepped on it for a long time.
"Sure."
"Master, we can go now."
* * *
"No need, no need. Ha …" The squirrel rubbed his paws and laughed. Although he said that he did not need Angele's help, he did not slow down at all. His tail was swinging like a ball of fur.
There was not a single person in the town. Angele could feel many people staring at him from the windows on both sides of the street.
On the left, there was a person wearing a black cloak. The person's face was also covered, so Angele could not tell whether it was a man or a woman. On the other side of the table sat a white-haired old man. He was accompanied by a girl in hunting attire who had an ordinary face but a good figure.
The room on the right side of the second floor was arranged for Angele by the owner of the inn. There was only a bed and a table with a set of drinking utensils on it. There was nothing else in the room. Angele could smell the dust in the air. It seemed like the room was cleaned up not long ago.
"Go to Moss Town. Wait for me there. I have something I need to do, "Angele said.
Moss Town, a deserted and remote town. It was a street with more than ten wooden houses lined up on both sides. These were all the buildings that made up the town. One was a tavern, one was a grocery store, and one was a 'small hotel' that served as a residence. There were only about 100 people in the town, so it was just a village. Angele asked someone to check the information before he came here.
"It's a natural resource point that hasn't been discovered yet. It could also be a private resource point built by a living wizard. I don't know what happened to it, but it's broken now. The traps and dangers are still there, but the barrier spell is slowly fading away. That's why the Snake of Sand Forest stole a Dragon Scale Flower from it. "
"We'll pay you in full if you don't pay too much."
In the entire living room, the three tables maintained a subtle tacit understanding, and no one spoke first.
Angele walked closer to the brick building and saw a wooden sign hanging on the iron fence outside. The words were written in Anmag, 'Hotel Accommodation'.
While Tom was negotiating with the owner of the inn, Angele looked at the man in the red robe. He saw a red flame pattern embroidered on the man's collar.
