Star Dou Great Forest was located southeast of Balak Kingdom, sharing a very short border with Balak Kingdom, but Suotuo City itself was also in the southeast of the Kingdom, not far from Star Dou Great Forest, less than five hundred kilometres.
Therefore, this was naturally the optimal choice for Shrek Academy students to obtain spirit rings.
With the aid of Oscar's sausages, barely using one days time, at nightfall, the Shrek Academy party had already run more than four hundred kilometres.
Seeing that they would be unable to reach the destination today, Zhao Wuji issued orders to rest. Since they had just reached a small town, if they continued further, whether there would be supply was hard to say.
Entering the small town, it was much more bustling than i had imagined, the little town's size was roughly three times that of the village where Shrek Academy was, apart from not having any walls, this unexpectedly seemed like a small market town, streets with a great number of shops, various stores with everything one could think of.
i carefully observed around, the main business of the shops in this place seemed related to Spirit Masters, for example some shops specialized in selling weapons, selling armor, selling detoxifying or restorative medicine, even the clothes being sold all had a dozen pockets where it was possible to fit all sorts of junk, clothes suitable for use in Spirit Masters' adventures.
Smart business tactic and since there aren't any closer villages they could charge insane rates for items unless you want to travel even farther for items.
People generally are lazy so if the town over sells items for 1 gold but you see one here for 10 gold and don't want to travel, your more than likely just going to fork out the cash than travel to a different town.
By now, Zhao Wuji had indicated a very ordinary looking hotel ahead, saying."We will stay there. Rest one night and set out early tomorrow. You bear your own lodging and food costs."
Everyone's heads snapped to me.
"Yeah yeah I'll pay greedy little monkeys." I reply. I get thankful hugs from the girls and cheers from the guys.
The hotel was a small two storey building, the first floor was a simple dining hall, on the second floor were accommodations. Zhao Wuji rented a single room and went directly upstairs. Dai Mubai and everyone after simply talking it over, rented a Three person room for the boys and another single room for me to set up my trunk as the girls usually bunked with me after finding out about Xiao Wu getting cuddles for free the other two insisted on doing the same not to mention my stuff is so much better than the regular dormitory rooms. I mean I have tv.
"First eat then go up. Having eaten so sausage for one day, I am sick of it."
Ma Hongjun said what everyone thought.
"Since your rich your paying right Ryan?" He asked me.
I just shrugged.
Very quickly, he displayed to everyone that he's still an inner fat boy. Calling the waiter, quick as lightning he ordered more than ten dishes, very many dishes with names I had never even heard of, but Ma Hongjun had a happy and excited appearance.
"Pretty good, pretty good, although this place isn't big, things are wholly outstanding, I hope the flavor can also have an even better level." he said licking his lips and rubbing his hands together.
The mood at the table was nice and happy everyone joking around and excited for their adventure in the forest. The girls all near me and the guys across the table.
In the dining hall right now already sat six or seven customers, at this moment, a party of eight suddenly walked in from outside, somewhat similar to our group.
The leader looked like more than forty years old middle aged man. In appearance he was also considered handsome, with combed hair exceedingly neat, wearing a moon white Spirit Master gown even more exceptionally exquisite, embroidered with a silver colored design, twinkling radiantly as he moved.
Following behind the middle aged man were six male and one female youth, seemingly about twenty years old. Similarly clothed in moon white Spirit Master gowns, only without the preceding middle aged man's silver thread embroidery. But whether it was the middle aged man or the youths following behind, on the left shoulder was a blue-green circular symbol.
From their attire one could clearly see that these people were Spirit Masters, our party all wore what they wanted, looking no different from ordinary people, while these people showed off much more.
Why can't there be like just one sect that dresses in t-shirts and jeans. Everyone always trying to show off with stupid looking robes that can't be comfortable as its fucking hot outside.
As the dining hall's proprietor saw them enter, he hurriedly went to welcome them, nodding and bowing unable to be courteous enough, just as what i had said, this little town relied on Star Dou Great Forest to make a living, or to put it briefly, relied on Spirit Masters to make a living. Spirit Master was not only a noble vocation, it was also a wealthy vocation, the proprietor naturally dared not be careless.
"That chick's height is pretty good, ah. Boss Dai, Those fellows should be from Blue Sunshine Academy."
Ma Hongjun's eyes stared unwavering at the girl among those eight people. It couldn't be refuted that the girl indeed had somewhat good looks, also considered being a pretty high class beauty. Although Xiao Wu, Zhao Zhuqing and Ningrongrong were beautiful, they were after all only about twelve years old, and compared to the already completely developed young lady, seemed younger and more immature. But to Fatty this juvenile, a bit more mature girl clearly held even more attraction, adding to his Evil Fire, naturally both eyes shone, resolutely watching the others constantly. of course none of this was said quietly so the elder heard it all.
The other girls looked at the now three drooling boys in disgust. "So eager to get your droopy dong back boys?" Xiao Wu mocked.
The three looked at her in horror before looking back at the girl and covering their junk.
By now the Blue Sunshine eight over there had already sat down, separated from the Shrek by two tables, from the corner of his eye i saw that clearly a Spirit Master middle aged man muttered by the ear of a youth, very quickly, that youth rose from his seat, and facing our group walked towards their table, according to his walking route, precisely coming towards Dai Mubai.
By now, the waiter just happened to serve their table's first dish.
The Blue Sunshine Academy youth suddenly sped up his steps, amidst the waiter's cry of alarm, just enough to bump into that waiter's body, in a moment that dish came down towards Dai Mubai from overhead.
"Don't waste food."
I spoke indifferently, left hand stretching out like lightning, steadying the waiter's body, right hand extending, just right to catch the plate.
The Blue Sunshine Academy youth stared blankly a moment, because of the waiter obstructing his view he did not clearly see my movements, however, his face very quickly exposed a cunning smile,
"I truly am embarrassed."
Saying so, he still walked forward, looking like he must pass Dai Mubai's side, but one foot quietly swept across, directly kicking at a leg of Dai Mubai's chair.
That was only a common wooden chair, that's all, when kicked the chair leg would break, and Dai Mubai naturally would fall. But the youth's foot motion was also extremely covert.
what he didn't see was a vine wrap around his leg and with a twang sound his foot jerked to a stop making him smack face first into the table.
"What a strange greeting." I mutter.
Quickly the vine whipped the unfortunate youth by the leg flinging him towards his comrades.
The Blue Sunshine Academy's middle aged man hastily stood up, raising both hands, grabbing the youth's shoulders and catching him. The youth's complexion was pale, with retching sounds, spewing out a mouthful of vomit all over them, his entire body becoming completely listless.
Toxin is some nasty business.
How could the Blue Sunshine Academy group still endure it, the remaining six Academy uniformed people stood up, glaring towards the Shrek Academy's table. Wanting to rush over, they were stopped by that middle aged man.
"What Academy do you children belong too?" he asked.
"None of your business kindly piss off." I reply looking back to the food. I'm pretty sure these are spirit beast steaks. yum.
That Blue Sunshine Academy teacher's face was already ashen from anger "Fine you arrogant brats, instruct them for me."
The Blue Sunshine Academy students moved at once after his words, besides the one injured by toxins from my vine and the female student, the other five immediately rushed towards our group's table.
"A fight? I like it."
