8.2-B: Hesitation leads to defeat

·

You claim to be a friend of the Speaker's cousin and ask the staff to hand over the 10 gold arrears. He can prove that this surge of adventurers is of high quality and will not die easily.

"Well, more adventurers certainly need more staff. The transfer of loans is not an example. ”

After saying this, the staff silently changed the "staffing" column to +1, which is now (4/6). You're 10 gold less.

You watch as he silently shoves ten gold coins into his pocket. It doesn't matter to you whether the money ends up going to be small or big, anyway, what should have been bought has already been bought.

As you leave the council room, Hathaway takes your arm around and says, "The more you feed, the hungrier you get, and I'm afraid you'll need more next time you pay a bribe." ”

"Grown, Sister Hathaway, welcome back, hard work!"

After Fielting saw you enter the Adventurer's Guild Hall, he immediately got up and bowed deeply, not in a hurry to ask if things were going well.

Fieldin stood alone behind the counter, while Raumi sat in his usual seat, looking no different, but ...... There are three adventurers who seem to have completed their mission but are still stranded around Raumi.

All three are members of the "Witch's Sigh" team.

The silver-haired warrior stood as before, standing upright behind Raumi in a military posture and murderous eyes, with her feet shoulder-width apart, one hand behind her back, and the other on the hilt of her sword. It seems that this has become her permanent place.

The female druid sat next to Raumi, very close, and put one hand on Raumi's knee, as if she was talking at a long time. Hurriedly glimpsed you back, Yaxing who didn't stop chatting at all.

Raumi is asking you for help with his eyes.

The captain of the "Witch's Sigh" stepped out of the shadow with his back to the wall, said "Thank you for your hard work" and left the hall.

"Wait a minute. Hathaway stopped the wanderer, "You're here in the morning, aren't you?"

The Wanderer smiled back at Hathaway:

"I did come in the morning, and I just wanted to check the direction of the wind. Seeing that the two of them are very energetic, I guess everything is going well for the guild. That's good. He paused, "Actually, I haven't quit my old job yet." Now I can quit my job with peace of mind – after all, it's a bit of a hassle. ”

After saying this,

The wanderer left the hall and walked through the street, straight into the "Dragon Pavilion" on the opposite side.

"What's the matter in the morning?"

"Yes, Sister Hathaway. The "Water Moon Companion" came first in the morning, and they completed the task of "destroying the ten undead in the suburban cemetery". I've got a detailed debriefing in place. It was stable, no one was injured, and by the way, the negative energy gathered in the two tombs was cleared. They fully understood the significance of the mission, and did not eliminate too many undead to cause the daytime tidying up of the cemetery, nor did they go too deep to provoke more undead to wake up. I think the Council will pay an additional fee. ”

"Water Moon Companion" takes 6 gold, and you receive 3 gold.

Hathaway flipped through Fieltin's mission register and asked, "Is Natalie okay?" ”

Fielding looked embarrassed.

She took out a vase,

There were three arrows stuck in it.

"In order to better complete the task, "Water Moon Companion" deliberately went to the cemetery at night, which was correct in terms of decision-making, but it was only suitable for a few people at level 7. After the rain, Natalie became the only adventurer covered in mud to report the mission this morning, the clouds did not clear, Natalie became the only adventurer to report the mission this morning when the quiver was almost full, and the skeletons were immune to piercing damage, and Natalie became the only adventurer to cut off her bow this morning. Fierdine clasped his palms together and observed a moment of silence at the three arrows.

"Poor ......"

Fierdine reminisced a little and replied, "No, sister, Natalie laughed very absently when she spoke to me. She asked me if I knew the blacksmith who made the steel bow, and that she wanted to be the first melee archer in the world without arrows. Then she was dragged away by Paul apologizing. ”

Because the bow broke, Paul and Adam accompanied Natalie to buy a new bow, traditionally wooden.

Adam said that he planned to teach Natalie to use a short sword, in case she encountered the dilemma of not being able to use the bow again, so that she could be in an emergency. Originally, Natalie was the archer of the warrior branch, so it shouldn't be a problem to learn it.

Hathaway asked what about the other two level 7s?

"Last night, the priest and the paladin were the main force, and they were old acquaintances, so they rested together and recovered the number of spells. Today, only three people of "Water Moon Companion" took on the E-level task of "Destroying Seven Unicorn Rabbits", saying that the unicorn rabbits are agile but low in threat, which is suitable for training archery in actual combat. Adam was in charge of teaching, and Paul was with him. ”

Hathaway suddenly laughed, and Fierdine looked at each other and smiled.

When you ask what the joke is, they just reply to you: "Men don't understand." ”

looked at the door of the "Dragon Pavilion",

Hathaway asked, "What mission did Witch Sigh take on today?"

Fieltin shook his head.

"Oh—did it disperse?" Hathaway seemed to figure out something.

"Not yet. The captain is quite capable, the problem is with the team members, so they can only announce that the team will rest for a few days before working. At the end, the captain deliberately added, "It can't be more than six days", which seems to be clear about the guild rules. "E-class adventurers who do not carry out tasks for seven days will be automatically removed from the list.

"What's wrong with the team? No, wait. Hathaway took off her glasses and rubbed her eyebrows, "Let me prepare myself first." ”

Yesterday afternoon,

Town sewers.

Matthew, the captain of the "Witch's Sigh", stood in a position where he could see the swaying rat figure in the distance, and said to his companions, "Everyone, cheer up and start fighting." Let's take our places. ”

"Good!" four voices rang out at the same time.

Matthew nodded, and arranged: "It's all the first time to work together, can we start with the formation first?" "Serafino" is a warrior and stands in the front row, I am a wanderer and stands in the middle row, "Scarlett" is a ranger and stands in the middle row, "Sein" is a priest and stands in the back row, and "Ash" is a druid and stands in the back row. There is only one person in the front row, and if you are under pressure, we will support you in the middle row. ”

"Eh, why?" four voices rang out at the same time.

Captain Matthew was stunned, not quite understanding what was wrong with his arrangement.

Serafino turned around and walked to the back of the team and patted his breastplate: "Isn't it stupid? Of course, the warrior is responsible for breaking the rear, which is the most important and critical position, which can ensure that the team will not be completely wiped out due to a sneak attack." So, the only shield warrior occupied the back row.

"Who told you that the druids should be in the back row?" Ash tilted his head and pulled out his scimitar with a serious look on his face and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't I be in the front row?"

Ding, ding.

Scarlett struck her two swords together and said with a smile: "Stand in the back, what am I going to kill?"

I had a headache – the only priest, Sein, clutched one of his temples and stood silently in the middle row with a small scepter, needing to flexibly support the waist and eye of the whole group.

Captain Matthew froze. He repeatedly looked down at the dagger in his hand, then at the shield in the back row, at the scimitar and double swords in the front row, and at the staff in the middle row, and tried to say something but swallowed it back. I saw Matthew nod hard with enough force to shake his hair: "Everyone is very right! Then I can stand in the middle row, right?"

"Come here!" and then was dragged to the back row by Serafino by the collar, "What do you think? Don't protect the priest in the back row, what kind of middle row does a big man stand, is there no shame?"

Matthew looked at Sain's flat chest, then at his own flat chest, and nodded fiercely: "Lose." ”

While they were discussing, several nezumi noticed their presence and rushed over with filthy knives in their hands. Suddenly, Druid Ash shouted, "Enchanting animals...... Hey, nezumi aren't animals?" Suddenly, Scarlett shouted, "If you hesitate, you will lose!" and rushed out alone. Alone.

She was beaten by seven nezumi and knocked to the ground.

After being rescued by Sain, the first thing Scarlett said was, "...... Fools, why don't you keep up, and rush forward with the front row!" Matthew swallowed back again, "No, the front row isn't usually for this."

afterward

It became a duo performance of Sain and Scarlett, one performance of what is called Mushuang, and the other performance of what is called mobile blood bank.

Later,

Ash successfully formed an army of ditch rats, and gave a sentence: "What? Withdraw now? Do you know that I have a hard time catching so many ditch rats?" At this time, it was far enough to kill the ten of the mission target.

Later later,

Serafino simply withdrew his sword into its scabbard.

Later, later, later, things became more and more out of control. The phrase "I have a headache" stopped ringing after being said thirteen times. Sein had used up all his healing techniques, the veins in his temples were already bulging high, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was pale.

"Withdraw!" When Matthew decisively ordered, hi, cool, painful, idle, the team had already entered a state of loss of control.

Sain suddenly went berserk!

Knocked Scarlett unconscious with his scepter, crushed several seduced ditch rats with his feet, knocked a sad-faced Ash away with his shoulder, and rushed madly to the fork in the road outside the predetermined route.

·

Fierting looked out the window with faintly glittering eyes, recalling what Matthew had said when he reported on his mission:

"It wasn't in vain. I actually saw the nezumi turn around and flee in fright. I suspected that Sean was not a priest, but a barbarian, and it was me and Serra who combined to knock him unconscious. ”

Hathaway is starting to feel the picture

In the dark and filthy sewers, the druids and warriors drag the priests and rangers who have been knocked unconscious by their own men, and the captain wanderer follows behind and pulls his hair.

Hathaway pointed to what was written in the register and asked, "Is this ...... Have you found out the reason for the change in the nezumi clan?"

"It's just a clue. Because he went after the crazy Sein, Matthew accidentally found the cavemen in a position that deviated from the intended route, and some people called them cave dwellers, the kind without eyes. Since the team had completely collapsed, Matthew decisively chose to retreat and did not continue to investigate further. ”

In the sewers, there should be no cave people,

And you shouldn't coexist with the nezumi.

"Witch's Sigh" completes the quest, but the clues alone are not enough to get extra rewards, so you get 4 gold, and you receive 2 gold.

Priest Sean is completely paralyzed and is now tossing and turning in pain in the hotel, being cared for by Scarlett the Ranger. But...... Matthew could have guessed on his knees that Scarlett had sneaked out to play.

As if he had seen some interesting story, Fierting waved the quill in his hand with great interest and said, "If you hesitate, you will lose!"

"Decisive will be given in vain!" Hathaway waved her pen as she spoke.

The two pens are like Scarlett's twin swords,

There was a sound of a cross-hit.

"Mind you, the stone statue has been reduced to 25 gold. ”

At lunchtime, the daughter of the owner of the "Dragon Pavilion" reminds you when the food is served. You read that right, the attitude of the other party is indeed that it is okay to acquire, and it is okay not to acquire.

The level 7 priest of the "Water Moon Companion" was resting at this time and had not been upgraded. There is still some distance to go before the scheduled level 9, and there are six days left before the agreed time limit.

What are you going to do?

A, not for sale

B, sell the stone statue to the market
