Episode 3 A commission from the village
Iskar drew a circle with a stick at the northeast junction of the two countries, and then tapped the dots vigorously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "See this? Now the kingdom and the empire are at war, and the Narmisso Plain, the area where the two countries meet, happens to be the fiercest battlefield. ”
"Hey, these two countries are at war?"
"Yes, I don't want to comment on who is right and who is wrong, in short, we are in a hostile country, and the currency I bring with us is completely unusable here, so we are now penniless. ”
"Then we'll hurry back to Artinia. ”
"Here's the problem, the nearest route must have been across the Empire and through the Narmisso Plains, but it was a battlefield, so it was certainly impossible to go, and the plains were flanked on either side by towering ****** mountains that ran from north to south to here... She nodded to the west of the Empire, "This is the Republic of Karnas, a small country adjacent to the Empire, and we can only return to the Empire by passing through it and bypassing the ****** Mountains." ”
"Got it... This lap is not a short distance!" Looking at this route that almost circled half a circle outside the continent, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
"The point is that there is no money!"
"This... ”
"As a servant, I command you to find a way to get some money now!"
"Hey, aren't you a little unreasonable!"
"Less nonsense! It's something you provoked! Of course you're responsible!"
"Huh, I'm really kind and unrewarded! That's how you treat your savior?"
"Humph!"
“。。。。。。 ”
Just when the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward, a white-haired old man walked slowly towards the two of them on crutches.
"I'm sorry two, are you adventurers from outside?" the other respectfully saluted the two of them, and then asked.
"Eh, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Iska didn't care about herself, Haruka could only answer the other party by herself.
"Let me introduce myself first, I am the village chief of this village, you should have learned from the merchants at the entrance of the village before, this village has issued a mission announcement to the adventurer union of the empire, but no adventurer has come after waiting for a long time, so if you two don't mind, are you willing to solve some small problems for us?"
"Hey, I'm sorry. We can't even solve the problem of food and clothing now, so ... Haruka said apologetically.
"Don't worry, if you successfully complete the task, although it is not a lot, we will also pay you for it. ”
"Really!" As soon as he heard that there was money, Iska suddenly had the energy, and couldn't help but push Yao to the side, "No matter what the task is, we will definitely help you complete it." ”
"Oh oh! Great! It's great that you can accept it!" both sides seemed to see each other as saviors, and they showed expressions of hatred for each other.
"Then please come with me to the village church, and I will explain the situation in detail. ”
"Okay......
Following the village chief's stumbling steps, Haruka and Iska walked through the village, and a small but delicate church appeared before them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the adventurer we have been waiting for for a long time has finally appeared. The village chief pushed open the door of the church, and saw that many villagers, young and old, had gathered inside.
"Really? Great... ”
"The problem that plagued our village should be solved!"
"I can finally feel at ease!"
"Okay, let's be quiet!" Seeing that the villagers were all gossiping, the village chief couldn't help but clear his throat. "I'm sorry two, but since our village is so remote and the reward we can offer is limited, many adventurers are reluctant to come all the way here for such a small amount of money, so we can't help but be a little excited to see that someone has finally come to help solve the incident. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, since we're here, no matter what the problem, we can help you solve it. Iskar walked in front with a confident look.
"Hey, hey... Is that okay, what if something tricky?" Haruka muttered to Iska a little uneasy.
"What are you afraid of, you've even fought the Divine Dragon, what else can't you deal with? You can't use God Exterminator Enkidu, no matter what you encounter, just cut it directly. ”
"Hey... That's really what you're saying... ”
"Okay, shut up, and let the village chief talk about the mission. Iskar covered Haruka's mouth with her hand and motioned for him to continue.
"Actually, this is the thing, about a month ago night, a mysterious ghost suddenly appeared on the streets of the village, she was wearing black armor, with long black hair, wandering around the village constantly, and from time to time there was a squeak, the metal sound of the armor joints colliding... ”
"Hey?!What!!!Ghost !!" Before the village chief could finish speaking, Iska's whole face darkened, "I'm sorry!!We can't help you with this task!
