Chapter 3.7-C: The aroma of yams
·
You suggest that Rachel start over with the team members.
"Eh, why, I led the team to a great victory, it's all my wisdom, decisiveness and wisdom, what's the situation?" Rachel couldn't easily ignore any advice that came out of the mouth of the adventurer's guild leader, even if it wasn't necessary to follow. She was no less surprised by your suggestion than she was to find half a worm in the apple she had bitten.
Astonishing, the extent of her self-awareness.
You patted Hathaway, the secretary has a poisonous tongue, why don't you pay her at this time. Hathaway won't let you down, especially when it comes to counting others.
"There are four reasons why it would be more appropriate to have Messeusley as captain. Hathaway waved her finger and showed the terrible smile she usually showed you, "First, the profession of a shooter itself has the meaning of protecting teammates. They need to effectively reduce the number of enemies before the battle heats up, prioritize sniping out special enemies with high power and low defense, and provide output support to kill fleeing enemies who may call for more reinforcements. In the pre-war, early-war, war-time, and closing stages, the shooter played an important role in silently supporting the safety of the whole team. It's not that I look down on mages, I just look down on mages who have a "Rainbow Spray" that adds 25% friendship damage. ”
Uh, Rachel froze.
"Second, Max Usley showed a good sense of protection and character to protect his teammates when he took out the slimes and goblins. This team, assuming that the captain is him, may live for a year, if it is you, well, can only live this number. ”
Hathaway held out five fingers.
Rachel blinked, stared at the other's fingers, and confirmed, "Only five months to live?"
Hathaway shook her head.
"Five weeks?"
Hathaway shook her head.
"No, are you trying to say that if I am the captain, I will kill the whole team in five days? Rachel tugged at her hair, looking unacceptable.
Hathaway still shook her head and replied, "...... Five, four, three, two, one. ”
There's a magical creature in front of you, she looks a lot like Rachel, and Hathaway rolls her eyes in anger.
"Thirdly, Maxusley has a very good judgment of the enemy's kill order, and he is also in a good position, both forward and backward. This sense of battle is innate and cannot be learned...... Oh, I'm sorry, normal people can learn, you just give up. "Hathaway may have been suppressed for too long, and the more she talked, the more she killed the Quartet," the fourth, and most important. ”
"What's the matter?"
"He's tall and burly, and it's obviously not easy to hang up, which is the most important point for the Adventurers' Guild to judge who is suitable to be the captain. And you ......" Hathaway smiled, suddenly raised her hand, ripped off her cuffs, and asked Rachel, "Quail, would you like to come in and lie down for a while?"
Rachel covered her face and rushed out the door, her desolate cry like a sharp wind cutting through the noise of the streets, making everything noisy and silent. Three seconds later, Rachel ran back with a bang, and said to Fieltin: "Mission reward!"
"Ahh
Fieltin gives Rachel 4 golds, and you draw 2 golds.
This amount of money is higher than planned, because the actual difficulty of the task is higher than that of the client, and it is inevitable that there will be a discrepancy between the task briefing and the actual situation, and the difference will naturally be recovered from the client later. Theoretically, one of the responsibilities of the Adventurer's Guild is to find out as much as possible about the true difficulty of the mission, but it's still in its infancy, and you're not up to it.
got the money, and the red eyes came out again, and the acting skills were too realistic. Anyway, Rachel covered her face again and rushed out the door.
But suddenly he stopped crying and stopped.
"Ah, thank you so much for your help!" Rachel bowed to someone outside the door, then pointed at him and shouted back to you, "President, that's the kind senior I just mentioned!"
Passing Rachel, the mage who had just given a helping hand stepped into the halls of the Adventurers' Guild.
Baron Roberts Doug,
And he was followed by a large crowd of men—the deputy captain of the Town Watch, four heavily armed guards, Michael, Billy, and...... Three goblins. They are no ordinary goblins.
Glancing at you from afar, Roberts Doug smiled meaningfully. With each step he took closer, Fieltin's neck shortened by a few points.
"Alright, you two go back. ”
"You've worked hard, senior!"
Roberts Doug waved his hand, and Michael and Billy immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle with their hands on the seams of their trousers, resoundingly in response. After thanking them repeatedly, the two rookies followed Rachel's footsteps and left. The vice-captain and the guards waited coldly for something to unfold.
Unlike the other adventurers, Roberts Doug seemed disgusted and kept half an arm's length away from the counter. Unlike when Michael and Billy were sent away, Roberts Doug took back all emotion and frustration in his tone, and unlike when he looked at you, he was expressionless, as if he was worried that the receptionist in front of him would see any clues.
"Pointed ears. ”
"Yes, yes!" Fierting hurriedly rummaged through the register in front of him, lowered his head and said at a faster pace, "You have worked hard, are you here to hand in the task?" ”
"Register me as a demon first. Baron Roberts Doug pointed to the three goblins behind him.
Standing at the front is a goblin shaman with a bandage around his belly. It wears a white cloth hat that hangs low to cover its eyes, a robe that covers its sides, and its overall clothing is mostly separated from the left and right like a door curtain, and it holds a wooden staff of rough workmanship with delicate animal tooth ornaments. Whether it's the tip of the staff, the wrist, or the strip of cloth wrapped around its belly, it's not hard to guess that it's been in a mess lately, with blood stains mixed with dirt.
The other one is burlier than the average goblin, and taller than the two next to him. It wears an iron helmet in the shape of a "scarf" that is still slightly out of size with broken steps inside, an adult-like male style chain mail with a delicate leather belt with two throwing knives hanging almost to its ankles, a pair of iron-clad wooden shoulder guards, and a very piercing deformed sword, a half-hand sword, which can only be dragged on the floor because it is longer than its height, and has no scabbard.
In the end, he was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face. At first glance, he looks like he is tall, but his limbs are faintly curled up and more slender than a normal goblin. Seven or eight belts were wrapped around the child's cloth to act as leather armor, and there were two weapons on the left hip and behind the waist—a dagger and a recurve blade.
Three Goblin Enchanters?
For the first time in Hathaway's long history as a secretary, she had seen someone capture a goblin to register the emissary.
"Okay, okay, the devil, right?" Fieltin picked up the pen to record without saying a word, but Hathaway grabbed her wrist and lowered her voice to tell her not to worry.
Because the vice-captain, who had not spoken for a long time, finally sneered at you: "What? Lord, this is going to fight against public safety? Don't you know what kind of creature goblins are?"
You push Hathaway forward, and the latter replied deferentially, "Humanoids who are evil by nature." ”
"Yes!" "Human-like", not sub-human. The vice-captain placed his hand lightly on the hilt of his sword, "The laws of the kingdom do not classify goblins as protected subhuman species, do you know why? They are pests, green-skinned, filthy, foul-smelling pests that look like the size of a six- or seven-year-old child. ”
The vice-captain looked at Fieltin, snapped, and the quill fell off his hand.
That's all the vice-captain said.
Baron Roberts Doug straightened the collar of his robes and looked calm, as if he had finally waited for the day. He looked around with open arms, like a great pope during the mission, a confidence and determination that no ordinary person can have. He, began his own statement.
"Pointed ears, have you memorized the rules of the Adventurer's Guild?"
"Yes, yes! Manipulate monsters to make them your own weapons, or creatures summoned by magicians to assist their masters. ”
"I'm in the latter, right?"
"Ah, no, it's the former...... It should be the former case. But it still needs to be verified......"
Baron Roberts Doug reached out and patted the head of the ring-armored goblin, the ring and helmet clanging and "Obviously, they are enough to be a weapon for me, a magician." If I need proof, I can let them kill something, but I'm afraid it's going to cause trouble for some adult. ”
Hathaway shook her head, signaling that she didn't have to prove it. Letting goblins cause any damage in town is hard to deal with.
"Well, I only need to prove the only suspicion to register as a demon, right?" he bit the last few words very clearly, "'control', right?"
To your surprise, this baron is not some kind of ruined person who has climbed on the edge to make a fool of the adventurers, but has done his homework in advance and is prepared. His original purpose was probably to legally possess goblin slaves, ten years after the slavery abolition law was enacted.
ambition
It is the greatest motivation for the human race to become an adventurer. Glory, wealth, lovers, power and all kinds of ambitions. The mage you are presented to you has the ambition to upend an entire anti-slavery society – as he is called, "The Slave Catcher."
Gently, Baron Roberts Doug whispered to the goblin shaman in goblin language, "To save you, these human guards want to kill you." Obey my request and roll three times on the ground. "This was translated to you by someone afterwards.
The goblin shaman clutched his wounded abdomen and rolled three times on the floor like a dog.
Firm and loud, Baron Roberts Doug shouted to the goblin warriors in the goblin language: "Show your courage and strength!
The Goblin Warrior suddenly swung his sword and slashed his shoulder, blood spurting onto the Vice-Captain's shiny boot armor, as the foul smell replaced the freshness of the surroundings in an instant.
"Give you a more difficult performance. The baron smiled cruelly, then turned to look at the slender twin dagger goblins, and changed words, "Lightly step on the helmets of these human guards." ”
No response.
The Baron wielded a "magic missile" and struck the twin daggers who were wailing in pain, dripping with blood. The latter's eyes changed from resistance to fear and submission, and then he jumped and disappeared from everyone's sight. There were three knocks, and when the vice-captain came to his senses, three of the five had goblin footprints on their helmets, and the goblins were already quietly crouching behind the guards.
Swish!
The vice-captain straightened his muscles, drew half of his sword, glared at the baron, gritted his teeth but could not say anything.
Roberts Doug had been able to fully prove that he could "control" the three goblins, Fieltin was only showing one eye on the counter, and Hathaway shook her head silently, as if she had given up.
As a result, you can only accept the three goblins as the Enchanter of Baron Roberts Doug...... From the moment you agreed to the Speaker's cousin for that lunch, you have lost the right to say no this time.
And who plays chess just for one step?
It is in accordance with the law and the rules of the guild.
"Remember!He's a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and if something happens, the first person in charge of the guild will definitely be inseparable!
Hathaway bowed politely to the furious man's back and muttered in a low voice, "The first person responsible is the mage, not the guild's first responsible person. Let's go. ”
"Grow up. Before you were about to say anything, Roberts Doug seemed to have expected it, and directly interrupted: "I will strictly restrain my slaves...... No, the demon won't cause trouble for the guild. After all," he said, gazing out of the sun-filled window, "this is only the first step." I still need to be an adventurer. Feel relieved. ”
When settling the quest reward, Fieltin gives him 20 gold coins, and you draw another 10.
After the Baron handed over the original task of "destroying 7 goblins", he casually tore up four more commissions for the billboard, all of which were related to goblins. These were slaughtered by Roberts Doug along the way in his search for collectible goblin minions, as well as when he grabbed Rachel's team, who had already wandered far away. He did it first, and handed it over later.
"It's complicated...... Hathaway looked at the figure of one person and three goblins leaving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The hot potato that was thrown over, actually smelled out? Active work and saving the rookie team is a good thing, but the potential risks in law and order and deep-rooted discrimination and prejudice are very uncomfortable." President, would you be glad if there were a hundred of them?"
You didn't answer this ironic question,
Because there is no availability.
You picked up two hot potatoes, the first one came, and the second one should follow.
William's figure swayed as if he was stepping on a cloud, and he walked towards you with a sinister smile. Behind him was the vice-captain of the guard—the man's anger half a minute ago had long since vanished, but had been replaced by apology and embarrassment. You know the reason at once, because behind the four guards there are seven or eight tall ruffians with a musk-headed rat.
"Now, the mission is done, what about the reward?" William said to Fieltin, with a slight smell of wine.
Fiertin looked at William's empty palm and asked rhetorically, "What about the evidence for the elimination of vampire bats?"
William sneered, "Tease me, bat wings and teeth are worth a few bucks, of course they are sold, why give them to you?"
Fierting was just stunned, and was immediately scolded by William: "Besides, what can I prove if I really take wings? That thing can be bought and used as evidence of the completion of the mission, and I can make a small profit inside and out." At the end of the day – isn't it your risk to make sure the commission is done...... No, haha, is that one of the duties of our Adventurer's Guild?"
Encountering such a dilemma for the first time, Fierdine asked Hathaway for help with his eyes, who nodded silently. It's hard to hear, but it's right. Bringing back evidence is customary but not necessary, and Linda will personally confirm whether the mission has actually been completed anyway.
William takes 2 golds, you draw 1 gold.
"Borrow the toilet" and William entered the inner room of the Adventurer's Guild and never came out.
The deputy captain held his forehead and muttered: "My brother-in-law, messing with me again......"
Six or seven ruffians surrounded Fieltin, and insisted on handing over William to her, saying that he owed a debt and would not pay it. Fieltin went to the toilet to look for it, but found no trace of William, and continued to deal with the unreasonable entanglement of the ruffians with a sad face.
This side said that William should go to William to repay the debt, and that William disappeared into the Adventurer's Guild because he was hidden by the guild; here it said that we didn't hide William, and that there was another side that William was an adventurer here anyway, of course, he asked for someone from the guild; here he said that he could go to William's house to find someone, and that there was another ......
"When Lao Tzu is stupid?" the ruffian pointed with his thumb to the vice-captain who was holding his forehead behind him, "William, that bastard has no home at all, blocking the door, just blocking the door of the vice-captain, looking for death......? Hey, hey, hey. ”
Hathaway held her forehead,
You hold your forehead,
The vice-captain buried his face directly in his arms. After a long time, he grabbed his head and apologized to you: "I'm sorry, my brother-in-law is really not a thing, and I have no choice before I hand it over to you to discipline." You see, this is already the case, you can't let them go to me to make trouble, right?"
Hathaway slashed at the vice-captain with her eyes.
"I also have my own sincerity! First of all, the unpleasantness of the demon incident just now should not exist, just watch the slave hunter. The vice-captain clapped his hands a few times, "Come here!"
Outside the hall door,
A sturdy, short-haired man walked in, his physique was definitely a warrior and he was also the kind with a well-balanced body, but ...... Didn't bring any weapons. The sharp eyes seem to have been battle-hardened.
Pressing the shoulder of the sturdy short-haired man, the deputy captain smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I also expected that there might be today." This is a level 7 warrior monk named Paul, who used to guard the door for me, but now he is the elder for three days. With him, these ruffians snorted a few times at most, and they didn't even dare to touch a pen here. Perhaps, the vice-captain has always suffered from the involvement of his brother-in-law, and it is not easy.
Three days.
Without giving you a chance to refuse, the vice-captain whispers to you, "Paul once thought about wanting to be an adventurer. Anyway, compensate me for what I've done, take care. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried away with four guards. In the hall, there was a bodyguard standing majestically with his hands behind his back, and a few ruffians who were much quieter but determined to stay out of the guild.
"That's a long insight. Hathaway took off her glasses and wiped them, "You...... It's the first president I've ever seen who can still emit aroma after receiving a hot potato, and it's a two-hit hit. Is there smoke coming from the ancestral grave or what's wrong?"
Sensing that what she said was a bit excessive, Hathaway bowed slightly to you: "I'm sorry President, what I said is too ugly, and the more ugly ones are yet to come." I'm afraid that no one will come for the time being, so why don't we close the store early? and then go to the market as agreed...... Even though the money is thrown in the bathroom,, we can go ahead and see if there are any good employees. ”
What are you going to do?
A, go to the market and go around.
B, forget it.
Who are you going to have with Paul trying to persuade him to join the Adventurers' Guild?
1, Hathaway
2, Fiertin
3, "Thorn Totem"
4. "Golden Crown"
5, Roberts Doug
6, Raumi
7, forget it
