Chapter 17: It's like an NPC in a side quest

Qiantang Village, tavern.

Before dawn, the villagers had begun to get up one after another under the urging of the rooster's crow;

Even if you are an idle man, there is no reason to drink and have fun as soon as you get up;

As a result, the tavern was quiet, with only three guests waiting.

The proprietress wipes down the counter, and the back kitchen smells of toast - the adventurers are coming soon;

Eddie took a bite of the custard he had given for free...... Well, it's quite fragrant.

Breakfast cost three more copper plates, and in addition to the custard, there were a few slices of fresh cabbage.

Eddie feels that a declining aristocrat who can't pay too much money shouldn't be worth the boss's wife;

The middle-aged woman glanced at Eddie from time to time.

...... At the beginning, Eddie subconsciously associated her image in the direction of Sun Erniang;

However, before considering whether to let Grey Wrist take it to see if there is a sweat pill, Eddie had already come up with a second possibility.

"Uh-huh......" The proprietress sighed slightly, and then looked away from Eddie and went back to the kitchen to look at the bread.

Even though Eddie had his back to her, he could guess something—

The tone is like an elderly fan, staring at a photo of his idol and then slowly putting down his phone;

Just looking at it is a kind of mental relaxation.

Grey Wrist glanced at the back of the proprietress : there was no doubt that in his mind it was a great disrespect to His Majesty;

But now the situation is compelling...... cough, look at Your Majesty at this moment, he is calm and calm, and he deserves to be a model of a big man!

It's really a blessing for the Blazing Sun Kingdom......

Orange Wind's gaze wandered between Bread and Add, completely oblivious to anything else.

...... Is this used to describe a man?

Perhaps this attraction can also be exploited at the right time...... Add thought.

"Yo-hostess, here we go again!" a rough voice came from outside;

But there was no one outside the door.

From the sound of his voice, Eddie deduced that the guy must have just turned the corner and shouted at the top of his throat.

After Eddie had eaten the remaining half of the bread and chewed a large cabbage leaf, the group finally walked into the tavern.

"Hey, hostess, hurry up and entertain the hot soup, let's go hunting!" a young man led by a young man walked briskly to the counter, and his sturdy body slammed the counter twice;

"Wait a little longer, it'll be fine right away~" For these old customers, the proprietress still has a good impression.

Eddie looked at the group slightly:

There were eight men in the team—all men in armor and armed arms, not much older than Add;

However, the thinnest one was more than a lap stronger than Add.

Since you want to hunt demonic beasts, your physical fitness has to be reasonable; it's just ......

Why are many of these people elated?

That's not good.

They are hunting monsters that are more ferocious and brutal than wild beasts, and they may lose their lives at any time;

However, at this time, most of the adventurers are eager to try and prepare for it......

It's like a player trying to tackle a newly released copy of an online game.

Generally speaking, there are two possibilities for hunters to be so excited;

One possibility is that the prey is weak, and the other is ......

Hunters are newbies.

Add swallowed, his gaze shifting to the two adventurers with normal-looking expressions.

One of them was the guy with a loud voice who rushed through the door first;

The man was fat and strong, with arms thicker than Add's thighs, his hair was disheveled, and his face was fleshy;

Although the strong man's expression was also a little impatient, it was obvious that his impatient content was a little different from those rookies-

Because he's always staring at the back kitchen.

The other, on the other hand, looks much more sedate.

Compared to the one across from him, the man was more sturdy, and wore a red-clothed cloak that looked imposing;

He looked at the elated newcomers and said nothing—as if he were calculating something.

In other words, are these two people the only ones in this team who have experience......

"Young Master, do you need me to negotiate with you?" said Gray Wrist in a low voice,

"But...... Those who are adventurous may not be willing to take us with them......"

Gray Wrist, Orange Wind, and himself, none of them resemble combatants;

In the minds of those adventurers, the three of them are completely a burden.

With conventional negotiation methods, people will not agree, and if they do, they will extort money in the name of "protection commission......

"I'll say it myself. You two follow me. With that, Add stood up and walked towards the most stable one.

Orange Wind noticed that Eddie didn't have a posture of "begging for help";

He strode with his chin raised, and looked almost close to ......

Arrogant.

"You...... Is it the one who takes the lead? Add looked the man up and down, who was already on his feet.

"Yes, I'm an official member of the 'Blade' Adventure Guild, and I'm ready to take the newcomers on a mission to hunt monsters;

Dare to ask your Excellency ......"

Add pursed his lips and didn't answer directly—he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers;

"This is a descendant of House Ryler, Lord Add. Gray Wrist behind Eddie introduced.

Whew, how can you do this kind of thing yourself?

"It's a noble lord, but why are you dressed up as this tattered virtue?" the big man on the other side of the gravel stood up, "I'm called a brute! I'm the second-in-command of this team!

"It's just about experiencing life. Add shrugged, "I'll just get to the point...... I want to experience what it's like to hunt monsters. ”

The gray-handed, orange-winded and respectful attitude increases the credibility of Add's identity;

No one would suspect Eddie until he made excessive demands.

In the morning, Add asked Heathtim and learned that there is no shortage of strange things in this world where nobles do strange things - it seems to be related to the specific conditions of "promotion rank", so "experiencing life" is not too difficult to understand.

"My lord, this is not an 'experience' thing...... It's dangerous. Stone Gravel dissuaded,

"If you make a mistake, you may lose your life!

We need to fight with all our might, and we don't have anything left to protect you!"

"I'm not going to sign a contract with you, I just want to walk with you and find out about the situation by the way. Eddie didn't care,

"I don't need your protection, and I won't accept your command, and your safety naturally has nothing to do with you;

If you're happy with your performance, I don't mind when I head to Black Mud in the future...... Use the heroic performance of your 'Blade' guild as a talking point for casual conversation with Lord Wolf. ”

The bull still looked a little stunned, but the gravel's eyes had begun to glow.

What does this mean? A nobleman is willing to help his guild promote it for free!

If you can get the favor of the nobles......

Stone Gravel remembered that several tables and chairs in the guild had fallen apart, and the event funds were drying up;

Another colleague in the town continued to squeeze out their side, and the number of requests they could receive began to decrease......

The worst thing is that the old members have been gradually pulled over! Otherwise, I wouldn't have to train so many newcomers!

Thinking of this, Stone Gravel nodded vigorously:

"If you insist on experiencing it...... I'm happy to help you in any way I can!"

Scold. Eddie sneered inwardly, is it all he can?

Even if he really paid the "protection commission", this ticket is between the spirit of the contract and his own life......

Which one to choose, is there a bit of suspense?
