Chapter 368 People? Where are the people? I don’t see any!
Having a guilty conscience is one thing.
Not being able to spit out something you have got is another.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Yi who was reluctant to leave, Qiao Bai looked at the golden brown purse in his hand.
Opened the drawstring on it.
Qiao Bai took out a... pot?
Qiao Bai: “?”
Although I had guessed it a long time ago.
But when a pot really escaped, Qiao Bai still opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Space?”
This thing actually exists?
Or did it appear more than three thousand years ago?
Qiao Bai was messy in the wind.
What’s going on.
But the technology has regressed, right!
Qiao Bai couldn’t help pinching his arm.
Yes.
It hurts.
It’s unlikely that he is dreaming.
Looking at the palm-sized purse in his hand again, Qiao Bai found it interesting.
“Is this alchemy?” Qiao Bai touched his chin.
Why does it feel more like magic or magic?
Hard to say.
For those who don't understand the principles, there is really not much difference between so-called alchemy and magic.
Thinking of this, Qiao Bai nodded.
"It seems that we still have to go to a larger town."
Alone in the wilderness.
Don't worry about whether this world is real or fake.
If you can't contact other people, you can't get to know it in depth, and there is no way to unfold the main line.
This is not a problem after all.
Tana Town?
Or Ander City?
There are only two known suitable choices.
Qiao Bai thought about it and felt that it was not the case.
"Let's go around the nearby towns first and see if we can hear more news."
Qiao Bai stuffed all the apple grass into his purse.
No problem at all.
Qiao Bai tried it.
I always feel that I can stuff more things in.
I'm a little tempted.
Or... some more apple grass?
Qiao Bai didn't care about Jiang Yi's various dislikes for apple grass before.
Does it have anything to do with him?
No!
He thinks this thing is valuable!
Just do it.
Qiao Bai took decisive action,
and harvested a lot of apple grass, Qiao Bai was satisfied and stopped.
No matter how much he could gain later, it was not a loss with these apple grass.
The rest...
Take your time!
Anyway, he was not in a hurry!
...
Asking for information is a technical job.
Qiao Bai can't say he is good at it.
But Qiao Bai is not completely without advantages.
That is - his talent as an alchemist.
Qiao Bai: "?"
Ahem.
It's a bit embarrassing to say.
Relying on talent to make a living... But this method works!
No matter what problems and difficulties he faces.
As long as he takes out his identity as an apprentice alchemist, he can solve them instantly.
Not only that.
The attitude of those ordinary people towards him also changed instantly.
However...
Qiao Bai looked at the shabby thatched house in front of him. Even though there was nothing to eat, he still had to take out the last food at home to entertain his family of four.
Qiao Bai sighed again.
This damn cannibalistic era.
Qiao Bai stopped the action of this woman who was only in her thirties but already looked like an old man.
"No need, I'm just passing by."
Qiao Bai said softly.
There are few records about the era before the advent of the monsters.
The history books of this world mostly describe the struggle between the ancestors and the monsters after the monsters appeared.
Qiao Bai subconsciously thought.
Before that, the Chinese country in this world also faced the dynasty of the feudal period.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Alchemy and alchemy workshops are more like the products of the West.
Qiao Bai is very sure.
This is the land of China, with black hair, black eyes and Asian appearance.
So what?
What's the problem?
These are not the most important things.
The most important thing... Why do people living in this land with magical alchemical power live so hard?
It's not right to think about it.
With such magical alchemy, shouldn't the country, dynasty, and nation live more easily?
Take a deep breath.
Let's put aside the plot of helping others for the time being and concentrate on respecting his own destiny.
He didn't know what exactly happened to him in this place!
"I just want to ask, are there any larger towns nearby, those ones?"
Looking at the old woman who was particularly unnatural and always a little trembling when facing him, Qiao Bai lowered his voice again and asked softly.
Seeing that Qiao Bai really didn't care, the old woman squinted her eyes and thought about it.
"The towns nearby..."
"There are quite a few small towns."
"The nearest one to us is Shuiping Town. People nearby usually go there if they need to buy anything."
"Then there are Changyang Town, Tana Town, Sanshili Town and other large and small towns."
Qiao Bai listened and nodded in his heart.
He had only heard Tana Town and Ande City before, and thought that the towns here were all names that tended to be Western.
I didn't think of it...
Okay, okay.
Any strange names are possible, he should accept it earlier and get used to it earlier.
Really.
He already has a space purse, what else can he not accept and understand here?
As she said this, the old woman carefully glanced at Qiao Bai's face.
There was no change.
But he did not show a satisfied expression.
After thinking for a while, the old woman continued.
"You are an apprentice alchemist... You should want to go to a town with more people like you, right?"
"Then I would recommend you to go to Tana Town and Sanshili Town. It is said that there are very famous alchemy workshops in these two towns."
"I heard that the child of my neighbor's relative has joined!"
The old woman proudly straightened her chest.
Qiao Bai: "..."
The child of the neighbor's relative?
This is really a relationship that cannot be farther away.
"In a larger city..." Fortunately, the old woman still remembered that the person in front of her was a respected apprentice alchemist, not a handyman like the neighbor's relative's child.
She thought for a moment and continued, "We don't know much about the situation in the larger cities."
"But the two largest cities nearby are Ander City and Twin Cities."
"Logically, there should be alchemists and alchemy workshops in them."
The old woman told Qiao Bai everything she knew.
Qiao Bai nodded gratefully.
From the purse Jiang Yi gave him before, he took out a round bronze metal that looked like currency according to the amount of money in the purse and handed it to the old woman in front of him.
"Thank you."
After saying that, Qiao Bai turned around and left without waiting for the old woman to react.
Retreat!
Qiao Bai walked very fast.
The old woman didn't react at all.
Qiao Bai didn't even see that the old woman was holding the round bronze metal tightly, with a look of shock and disbelief on her face.
"This...this, this, this..." It's really too valuable!
Thanks to this unknown young apprentice...Alchemist Master!
...
"A-choo——"
Qiao Bai, who didn't know who was talking about him, sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his nose and muttered.
"I don't know what's going on with Li Gan."
"If I don't go back for a long time, will he be scared?"
Tsk.
Qiao Bai sighed.
Although but.
He couldn't do anything about this.
He could only do it this way for now.
Take care of the present.
Through the old woman's mouth, Qiao Bai now has two more choices.
Sanshili Town.
Twin Cities.
Choose one out of four?
No.
Qiao Bai shook his head.
"Why do people have to make choices?"
Qiao Bai said softly: "I want them all!"
Isn't it just running around all four places?
This is not a difficult task for Qiao Bai at all.
After all... he has a little jellyfish!
Yes.
The little jellyfish is now half the size of Qiao Bai.
It can barely be used as a pet for Qiao Bai to travel.
Little Jellyfish: Happy.jpg
Tentacles dancing wildly!
Hehehe~
"According to the distance of several towns, let's go to Tana Town first." Qiao Bai released the little jellyfish and gently patted the little jellyfish's head a few times.
He looked at the little jellyfish with gentle eyes and said:
"I'll leave it to you next."
"na~"
The little jellyfish waved its pink tentacles excitedly.
Leave it to the little jellyfish!
Rest assured!
The little jellyfish stretched out three tentacles and twisted them together, forming a small hammock shape that could just accommodate one person.
The little jellyfish landed at a suitable height.
Qiao Bai could sit in it directly.
Not uncomfortable at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu came up and squeezed directly into Qiao Bai's arms.
Little Jellyfish: "..."
Dare not move, dare not move.
Damn it!
Obviously, Xiao Wu can fly here by herself!
The little jellyfish chirped and said nothing.
Go!
Go forward!
"Angel, please help me determine the direction." Qiao Bai quickly stopped the little jellyfish who was about to rush recklessly, and smiled at the "angel" beside him.
Entrusted with an important task.
"Okay."
Fortunately, the "angel" is easy to talk to.
Yes.
The old woman did not have a map to the town and city.
They relied on word of mouth to get the route out.
Map?
It is said that there are some for sale in the city.
What can Qiao Bai do?
When he remembered that he still needed a map, Jiang Yi had disappeared.
And he said that he didn't know anything about alchemy, and he could barely make do with it.
He said that he didn't know anything about the nearby towns... It's not easy to fool.
"I don't know what the situation is around the town..." Qiao Bai's mood is not as optimistic as it seems on the surface.
Everything is still hard to say.
He is also taking one step at a time.
Everything needs to be seen.
With the "angel" and the little jellyfish exploring together, Qiao Bai naturally didn't meet anyone else.
Seeing that he was approaching the first town he was going to, Qiao Bai finally jumped out of the tentacles of the little jellyfish.
"It's quite soft, and it's very comfortable to sit on." Qiao Bai did not forget to praise the little jellyfish.
Well done.
The little jellyfish waved its tentacles happily.
Hehehe~
Although it can’t compare to the big sister.
But!
It must be the most loved by the beastmaster in this family!
Cat, cat and bug:?
Little white snake:?
Are you too proud, or are we too weak to lift the knife?
Still thinking that the latecomer will be the winner?
Little jellyfish: No, no~ Jellyfish can’t hear anything~
Qiao Bai didn’t know anything about the little disputes among his pets.
He put away the little jellyfish.
After thinking for a while, Qiao Bai put away the little crow and the "angel".
"For the time being, we don’t know what the situation is in this town. Let’s be careful first." Qiao Bai comforted the little guys.
"Angel" had no opinion.
Little crow and little jellyfish made a fuss for a while.
They were all successfully coaxed by Qiao Bai.
Then Qiao Bai took out a black robe from his purse, which was the same as Jiang Yi’s, but a closer look would reveal the difference.
Sometimes a black robe is not necessarily a pure black robe.
There will also be some decorations with the same pattern on it.
For example, what Jiang Yi wore before.
Qiao Bai noticed it.
There are golden lines looming.
I wonder if it is for decoration or something else?
However, the black robe that Qiao Bai took out was very simple and clean.
There was nothing on it.
It was really just a pure black robe.
Qiao Bai had no opinion on this, and was even a little satisfied.
It was not good-looking nor ugly.
It would not cause any trouble that he didn't know about.
This was very good.
It met Qiao Bai's requirements.
After putting on the robe, Qiao Bai couldn't tell from the outside that there was anything special about him.
After thinking about it.
Qiao Bai still didn't let the pet out.
Although the robe could cover it.
What kind of detection equipment was added?
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Finally.
Qiao Bai came to Tana Town on his feet.
Qiao Bai frowned as soon as he walked in.
Hard, dusty loess road.
But the road was very wide.
It was wider than the formal roads in modern society.
On both sides of the road are houses mixed with various shops.
There are thatched houses, brick houses, and loess houses.
Qiao Bai's eyes swept over these buildings one by one.
When people like Qiao Bai wearing black robes entered the town, the residents living here did not show any very shocked expressions.
It seemed that this was a normal thing.
He walked forward two steps.
Another person wearing a black robe appeared.
Qiao Bai: "?"
It seems that this black robe is really a standard?
"New here?" The new person in the black robe had a hoarse voice that didn't sound like a good person.
Qiao Bai had a blank expression.
He never used stereotypes to evaluate a person.
But there are always some people who want to instill some unnecessary stereotypes into his mind.
"Do you know the rules here?"
The other party stretched out his hand from under the robe.
It rarely matches his voice.
Wrinkled.
Dry.
Qiao Bai sighed.
The other party thought Qiao Bai didn't understand: "You're an apprentice alchemist, right?"
"If you want to enter Tana Town and learn the alchemy ideas here, you have to pay the money honestly."
"Understand?"
"If you don't have enough money, good materials will do."
"Take them out and show them to me."
Qiao Bai laughed.
He laughed out of anger.
However, Qiao Bai didn't show it on his face, and there was no trace of it in his voice.
It's unnecessary.
"It's not good to give it to you here." Qiao Bai looked around, as if he was really considering the person in front of him.
