Game In Middle Earth 11 Chapter 11

After a while, they came to a clearing where you could see a wooden house with a thatched roof and a chimney. Around the house there was what appeared to be a plantation so Aldarion deduced that this was the farm he was looking for. As if to confirm his a.s.sumption, Slippery pointed to the house. "So... Is this the farm?" Aldarion asked, waiting for a response from the man, but it only got him to nod his question.

Slippery's answer only made him despair. That apt.i.tude was driving him crazy. Aldarion not wanting to argue because the man was at least kind to guide him to the farm, he just scratched his head and snorted. "Well, whatever. Let's go to the farm, maybe give us something to eat." Aldarion said with resignation and started walking with his back to Slippery.

When he had taken a few steps he realized that he was the only one who was walking so he stopped, turned around to look at Dibbler and told him. "What's wrong, do not you come?" Slippery simply shook his head, then waved goodbye and left.

Aldarion was stunned. "It's good people, but ... d.a.m.n how I hate your fitness! Is it hard for you to say something? "He thought to himself. Aldarion turned and walked toward the farm while grumbling.

As he approached he realized that smoke was coming out of the chimney so he deduced that if someone was inside the house. When he reached the door he knocked a couple of blows on it. "Excuse me! There is someone in the house? My name is Aldarion, I came to bring you the package from Bree's Gersten! "After saying this Aldarion heard rude from inside the house that indicated that someone was going to open the door so he relaxed.

The wooden door opened with a slight squeak showing the figure of an older man. "So Gersten sent you. That man is increasingly lazy. I do not know why he could not come instead of having to have someone else do his job for him."

"It's okay, sir, it's not Gersten's fault. This was something that he asked me as a favor because I had to go through here, otherwise he would not have asked me." Aldarion told him.

The man smiled at him and said. "You seem like a good boy. Go inside and sit down, my wife is preparing dinner. By the way, I'm Mr. Tunnelly and this is my wife." The man motioned him to enter with a gesture and went to sit by the table. Aldarion then went to the house and noticed the woman while making a gesture of greeting to her. Mrs. Tunnelly seemed to be a woman of about fifty years old so Mr. Tunnelly had to be older than her.

As he approached the table, Aldarion took out the package and handed it to the man. He received it with a grateful smile. "Thank you very much boy, without this I could not work."

"Ding! The user has completed the 'Take a package to the farm' mission. Rewards: + 10 reputation points, + 20 experience points." The mission's compliance notice came instantly to Aldarion, but he did not ignore it at that time.

Seeing that the man did not look like a good person, Aldarion could not help asking. "Excuse me Mr. Tunnelly, if it's not a lot of indiscretion, what's in the package to make it so important?" Aldarion thought it could be a very expensive item.

The man smiled at him, opened the package and showed it to him. "For many this may not be of special interest, but for a farmer like me this could be the most important thing." What he showed Aldarion inside the package was a series of bags and each of these contained seeds. When he saw them, Aldarion realized the meaning of the man's words.

For any other person, some seeds did not mean anything, but for a farmer their life could be considered. They were his work, his sustenance and they would take care of them like gold in cloth.

After seeing the seeds Aldarion thought of something else. "Maybe Mr. Tunnelly knows about wild fruits and he can teach me." Having no more sources of food had led him to warm his head almost all the way, so having a solution at his fingertips filled him of happiness. So he did not think about it anymore and asked the man directly. "Mr. Tunnelly, do you know about wild fruits?" The man nodded as he closed the package containing the seeds again. "Could you teach me?" Aldarion told him.

The man put his index finger and thumb on his chin as if he was thinking of something. Seeing that Mr. Tunnelly was not doing anything, Aldarion started talking again. "Sir, the truth is that I am traveling and having knowledge about wild fruits would be very useful so if you could help me I would be very grateful. I could even pay you if it's what you want."

The man began to frown as he spoke, which scared Aldarion, but in the end he spoke, Mr. Tunnelly told him. "Quiet kid, you do not need to pay me." At that moment he got up, took the package and went to a piece of furniture where he kept it. Then he went to a room and because of what Aldarion was listening to, it seemed that he was looking for something. "Where could it be? Where? Where...?" Aldarion was watching everything in silence, not wanting to disturb him.

After a few seconds, Aldarion heard him say. "Ah! Here you were!" After that, the man left the room with what appeared to be a book. The man approached the table, sat down and handed him the book while saying. "In this book are all my knowledge about plants, herbs and fruits. If you want it, it's yours, I do not need it anymore. Take it as a reward for bringing me the seeds." Aldarion, happy, gave him his sincere thanks and picked up the book.

The moment he opened it and went to read, what happened left him stunned. "Ding! The user is in possession of the book 'Knowledge of Mr. Tunnelly'. Do you want to transfer your content to your brain?"

Aldarion could not believe it, this was a cheat skill, he would have loved to have this ability in his other life. If it had been like that, he should not have spent many sleepless nights studying.

Without immediately accepting, Aldarion asked the system what consequences there were if he did so. "The user would learn everything that is in the book, but because he would receive a lot of information at the same time it could cause him a headache until he gets the information ordered." Aldarion thought better and decided to save the book and absorb the book when he go to bed.

After that Mrs. Tunnelly served the meal and they were chatting during the whole dinner and when they got tired of this they all went to bed. Aldarion had to sleep on the floor by the fireplace because they did not have another bed in the house, but that did not matter to him.

After saying goodbye to the farmers, he took out the book again and told the system to absorb the information. The system, without saying anything, did it and at that moment Aldarion received a strong pang in the head, even though what bothered him the most was the dizziness generated by the amount of information. Seeing that the process was going to take a long time, he decided to go to bed and fall asleep.
