I Want a Low-key Traverser, So I Try to Act in Secret

Li Xu has a good impression of the food in this world, so he ordered the special Kuimu grilled three-headed sea snake meat, stewed clams with sea beans and sliced ​​three-headed sea snake eggs, and ordered the special grain pearl rice stewed rice here as the main food.

Maybe the iron smelting industry is not good enough, and the high-end magic manufacturing methods are useless in improving kitchen utensils. The cooking in this world is not developed, it can be said that it has not developed at all, and the cooking methods are mostly barbecue and stewing.

Still, the grill and stew are delicious, thanks to the fine quality of very magical, otherworldly top-notch ingredients.

The three of them ate a delicious meal in the small building, and it was completely dark.

To clean up the mess, Natasha was practicing 50 vowels with a standard Sunrise Mandarin, while Li Xu and Jing sat next to each other by the side of the building. Without extra words, the girl was full of excitement just by leaning on Li Xu. A sweet taste.

In the yellow-green magic light, the two saw some druids wearing bark and grass leaves starting to build a bonfire in an open space on the ground of the stronghold. In the evening, the adventurers who suffered heavy losses were also helping, bringing some rescued The bodies of the returned dead were placed on the pyre...

"what?"

Jing was taken aback, "No way, they plan to cremate the dead here?"

"It looks like"

"But, but, this is too..." Jing Dan couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a long time.

"Maybe it's a druid or a unique local custom. Looking at the environment here, compared with them, they have perfect treatment methods, and they won't get everywhere... PM2.5 of the dead."

"What does PM2.5 mean?" Jing, who came from an earlier era, didn't know this term, and had never seen this term on the intranet of the [Shelter].

"A measure of floating matter in the air, because it is of such a size that it can float in the air for a long time, usually meaning pollution caused by combustion"

Li Xu briefly explained.

"Eh... Strange knowledge has increased."

"If you feel unwell, I have a dust mask here"

"Not for the time being, let's take a look"

……

Soon, the ceremony scene was set up.

An old human with a feathered headdress that looked like an Indian came to the pyre. After pausing the wooden staff in his hand, a low-level spell, Touch of Fire, fell on the pyre, igniting the funeral pyre.

According to Li Xu's understanding, ordinary druids in this world do not have the ability to cast fire spells, and it is not easy to judge whether this old man is a druid from his attire, because the druid sect is an organization, and not only Druids can join, and mages, priests, and warriors can all be part of them as long as they uphold nature.

In this regard, the Druid sect in this world is very open.

Thick smoke rose, but it did not spread within the stronghold, but was engulfed by inexplicable forces, sent to a height of 40 meters, blown away by the sea breeze outside, and drifted to nowhere.

This scene made Li Xu and Jing beside each other say "Wuhu".

When the flames devoured the corpse, it burst into white-hot light.

A deep musical instrument sounded, and Li Xu took a look. On the wooden building not far away, there was a male elf playing a long tube-shaped thing.

The old man in front of the fire smeared a kind of black paint on his face, and after another stroke of the wooden staff, several lines of fire flowed out of the funeral pyre, swimming and dancing around him like a spirit snake.

He took a breath, then spoke:

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey-"

It wasn't some difficult language or incantations, but pure phonetic words, and the old man's vocal range was not thick, but rather thin, but such a simple chanting was full of desolation.

Li Xu even saw a picture of an eagle flying high in the sky.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

Regardless of the druids or ordinary adventurers on the surrounding wooden buildings, they began to beat the rhythm with the playing of the wooden barrel, some directly clapped their hands, some beat the wooden building with weapons, and some patted their own thighs... They didn't use it deliberately. What musical instruments to respond to, are the things around them, as well as their own bodies themselves.

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey-"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey-"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey-"

……

This scene reminded Li Xu of the street performances of Indian artists he had seen on the Internet before. It was widely rumored to be the theme song of "The Last of the Mohicans", but it was not. The mood is very similar to now.

One is an elegy for the Indians of the entire continent, and the other is a funeral carol for those who died in battle in another world.

The scene in front of him is solemn and solemn, and the sense of immersion is also very good, which makes people appreciate the charm of different national cultures. Li Xu subconsciously hugged Kase Akira's waist, immersing himself in the atmosphere of nostalgia.

The same is true for Akira Kase, including Natasha, who is learning the Japanese language of the sunrise behind the two of them, and she also stands beside them, leaning on Akira's body.

until the end of this ceremony.

……

The next process is a bit eye-catching, or ruin the atmosphere.

The adventurers around, after the old man finished singing and left, stepped forward one after another, threw some relics into the fire, and said some speeches to commemorate the dead or express their mourning.

Calm people generally say something like "may your soul find a home / rest in peace / return to your hometown", which is popular but very appropriate.

If you have a good relationship, say something that can express the intimate relationship between the two parties, "You bastard, why did you die earlier than me", "Let me go back and explain to so and so", "I will take care of your wife and children for you", etc. of.

Those who are unreliable or confused by sadness start talking nonsense, "Hahaha, you bastard, now you don't have to worry about Xiaofang/Fang in the village, she/he is mine", or Started singing ditties that were clearly out of tune with funerals.

Some adventurers around also participated, and the atmosphere changed from the funeral to the reception, still next to the corpse being burned.

……

The funeral continued until the next morning, but it was still moderate. Although there were crying and laughing, it was not so noisy that people could not sleep.

It might be some kind of magical method. Normally speaking, with so many people gathering and drinking in the open air, the residents within [-] meters away really want to call the police. It is no different from a busy city.

After Li Xu got up, he found that the people in the stronghold were cleaning the funeral site last night. They carefully collected the ashes together with the wood ash, gathered them together, and buried them in the roots of the surrounding trees.

There are also some spellcasters who condense a ball of green light from their hands and spread it to the place where the ashes are buried, and perform rituals and prayers. They don't know what to say and pay attention to.

Clean up the housework, they don't need to squeeze the public toilets here like everyone else, or the adventurers are very unrestrained, just solve the problem in the toilet on the small building, without even a cover.

Fortunately, although the Druids respect nature, there are also regulations such as morality. Behaviors such as openly or intentionally showing their chests and walking birds will be severely punished.

Harassment of the opposite sex is not limited to men to women, but also includes women to men, men to men, women to women... Even the special cases of intersex people are stipulated in detail.

The druids are only responsible for the arrest, and the punishment is carried out by the officials of the Xidong family. It is said that there is a large-scale black prison in Sidong Ford, and there are forest farms and mines in Sidong Saier.

The criminal labor service system is very perfect...

……

As a newcomer, Li Xu didn't plan to start hunting in a hurry, but wanted to observe how other adventurers hunted.

There are many druid sects providing services in the stronghold, and he hired a bear druid who could act as he thought.

Many adventurers, including teams, do not have perfect facilities and equipment. For example, after hunting a three-headed sea snake weighing four tons, they do not have tools to transport them, nor professionals who can skillfully split and skin them, so they can hire one. After the giant bear druid dragged the hunt back to the stronghold, it was handled by the druid sect and official operators here, and finally settled in currency.

Of course, these services are charged, including the hunting itself. The druid sect and the government will charge a certain percentage of commission. Facilities such as strongholds, including the usual grazing and management of three-headed sea snakes, will cost a lot of money .

If the adventurer is unlucky or simply Cai, and has nothing to gain, naturally there is no need to pay. Even the adventurer goes to the beach to pick shells or catch fish, and brings them back to the druid stronghold to cook and eat by himself. This is all allowed.

But need to submit a little site fee and firewood fee.

As mentioned earlier, every plant and tree on the island belongs to the local lord Xidong family, and if they collect grass and firewood without permission, they will be arrested and punished in the name of the law.

PS: For those who mentioned music in the article, you can search it. I personally think it is very good. Theme song from the movie "The Last of the Mohicans"

Section 61 0059

If you switch to another place, there are other adventurers trailing behind the mission location, and in most cases, a battle will break out.

However, this place is officially designated by Xidong as a hunting area, and the Druid sect conducts all-round monitoring of sea, land and air. The ones squatting on trees, swimming in the sea, and flying in the sky may be animals transformed by druids.

Especially in the teams on both sides, there is a giant bear druid.

Therefore, the three of Li Xu have been following far behind the team of adventurers in front of them, and they are in peace with each other.

……

After coming out of the stronghold, the team of adventurers did not clear up from the gate of the village like the three barefoot men in the game.

Instead, it let go of the nearby three-headed sea snake and headed for the farther beach.

The giant bear druid hired by Li Xu is called "Bearskin". He is a forest elf, but he is extremely tall and strong. The elf ranger Joe Flynn is about 2 meters tall, but he is at least 2 meters tall, and he is comparable to those NBA players on the earth. Compared with tall people, his body proportions are very well-proportioned, and he does not appear slender.

According to the proportion of 1.7 meters five, it is enlarged to [-] meters. His shoulders are three times wider than Li Xu's, and his chest and back are two thicker than his. A bearskin with a bear's head, and two bear paws that went around his shoulders and hung down his stomach.

The bear's head was put on his head like a hood. On a hot day, he didn't sweat at all with such a thick hide.

There are tattoos all over his face and exposed upper body, as well as arm rings and necklaces made of animal teeth.

Carrying a thick knotted wooden club on the back.

The stick and the bear skin are probably both "special equipment", and in Li Xu's "green vision", they exude a faint highlight.

……

"Because the three-headed sea snakes are very smart, sometimes our enchantment can't expel them, so sometimes our companions will transform into three-headed sea snakes, occupying a territory near the stronghold, so that they will not come close here, and form over time It is a tradition that adventurers will not hunt the three-headed sea snakes near the stronghold, regardless of whether we changed them or not.”

"Bearskin" explained to Li Xu.

Druid strongholds all over the coast have frequent exchanges with Xidong officials. Li Xu's news has been passed here. As a foreign visitor whose strength is unknown but brought back important news, all forces attach great importance to him.

But Li Xu has always been slick and steadfast, almost never accepting formal invitations from various forces. He has never been defeated in this kind of challenge, and it is speculated that he is at least a high-ranking nickel-bronze-level adventurer. He is only interested in food and various special knowledge.

For any normal individual or organization, although there is no need to deliberately please such a person, there is no need to be an enemy either.

Therefore, in response to his employment, the base sent an experienced elite giant bear druid "Bearskin" as his guide. As long as it does not involve confidentiality and privacy, he can almost answer all doubts for him.

In the "Bearskin" feeling, it is rumored that the "foreign visitor" Mr. Li and his assistants are all professionals of the legal system, but this is not the case. With his senses, he noticed that the breath of the two was long and their steps were light and steady, which made him feel more like two forest rangers.

Especially for Mr. Li, there is no obvious boundary between breathing and breathing, and it is so weak that it is almost undetectable. It does not mean that he is weak, but it is obviously a unique breathing technique that can greatly reduce the presence of his breath.

He has only experienced this kind of skill in a few platinum-level forest rangers, but they all rely on the power of supernatural elements, and they need to mobilize and use magic power when they operate. People who are sensitive to natural magic perceive it.

But in Mr. Li, he can't feel any supernatural factors at all.

Platinum rangers with this kind of skills can all burst out extremely terrifying damage output. It's not just as simple as hiding their own aura. He guessed that Li Xu may also have extremely terrifying instantaneous explosive power, and it is even more difficult to detect.

The beautiful assistant with short black hair and exotic style is not as good as Mr. Li in this aspect, but her seemingly thin body (compared to his own) has a basic physical fitness that is different from ordinary people, "Bear skin "Has keen senses and a wealth of experience, as can be seen from some of her behavioral characteristics.
