Chapter 8: Passing Partners of Justice
After the two shirked each other for a while, it finally ended in the failure of the hotel owner, who took two steps forward and slammed the table with both hands.
The drinking adventurers thought that someone had drunk too much and wanted to make trouble, but when they looked left and right, they found that it seemed to be taken by the hotel owner himself, and they immediately fell silent.
"Listen, everyone, I have a temporary assignment here, I haven't gone through the association, and now it's closed over there, which is considered a mission I issued - this child's mother is sick, is there a pharmacist, a doctor, or who knows how to treat it, what medicine is needed?"
The hotel owner's voice is very proportional to his figure, and every word is enough to be heard clearly when he opens his mouth.
"Tell me, I'm the pharmacist."
Immediately, a strong man with a large axe of the same height as him, but with many large and small pockets on his body, bottles and cans, stood up.
Huang Taiyi sighed with emotion in his heart, he was worthy of being a pharmacist among adventurers, and it seemed that he was subverting the traditional concept.
"Yes, let's talk about it, I'm a hunter in the mountains, and the herbs can't trouble me."
"The Poor Monk is a traveling Inquisitor who knows how to cure evil and curse-related ailments."
All kinds of capable people have stood up and taken the initiative to ask for help, and there are quite a few people.
This is not surprising, as an adventurer, the ability to survive outside is naturally to learn as much as possible, and usually encounter the task of collecting various plants, most adventurers have mastered the basic pharmacology, and they are also familiar with the use of herbs such as hemostasis and detoxification, after all, this is the capital to survive.
Huang Taiyi doesn't know medicine or medicine, who wants to ask him, the answer must be three words "go to the hospital", and Si Ming is still eating Haisai, and now he can only eat melons on the side.
The girl saluted the crowd quite politely, and told them all about her mother's illness, and spoke quite clearly and calmly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
After she finished speaking, no one in the hotel spoke for a while, and the faces of those who took the initiative to stand up were not very good.
"I'm afraid it's red fever and poison, and ordinary medicine can't save it."
After finishing the beer in the cup in one go, Si Ming, whose upper body was already a little shaky, slammed the wine glass on the table and said in a daze.
The emperor looked at Si Ming's drunken face and felt a little incredible, when did she learn this knowledge? Aren't the books I usually read while lying in bed and eating snacks novels?
"That's right...... She's pretty much right......"
The pharmacist with the tomahawk on his back opened his mouth in a curt.
"This is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, the only cure is to purify the poisonous blood, LV50 or more priests or sacrifices can master the healing spells, sorry, the poor monk is relatively inclined to martial arts, not good at spells."
The monk, whose profession is a judge, shook his head, indicating that he could not do it.
"Is there no other way?"
The hotel owner frowned, and saw that the girl seemed to be about to cry, and roared loudly in anger.
"There is a way, the cactus in the red sand area, there is a drop called the cactus corolla, which specializes in treating the heat poison series of diseases."
The well-informed adventurer immediately came up with a solution.
However, after he said this, the scene became even quieter.
"She will give 20,000, no, I will add 20,000, a total of 40,000, is there anyone to do it!"
The hotel owner's giant palm slapped loudly on the table, and he took the initiative to add a bounty out of his pocket.
"Boss, why do you want to ask knowingly, this kind of thing can't be done now......"
A faint voice floated in the corner, like a sigh, like a mockery.
This was undoubtedly a provocative act, but none of the people at the scene jumped out to refute it.
"How is that possible...... Is this a medicine that can't be obtained at all...... Why ......"
The girl who came to ask for medicine almost fell to the ground with weak legs, but fortunately, the hotel owner was quick and gently held her up, and the muscle pharmacist next to her pulled a chair and let her sit on it.
"Hey, you have to let me be this wicked person today, okay, let me explain it to you today, little sister, did you see a large group of people walking out of the city this afternoon?
It was a middle-aged uncle who was quite good-looking, dressed as a magician, and he said the "can't do it" just now.
This person has an iron badge on his body, and he is still a high-level adventurer, because he is already a little drunk, so he talks endlessly.
"I saw hundreds of people, and a lot of wagons."
The girl nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Everyone present must also understand that those people are going to do the task that was suddenly released temporarily today, basically three-quarters of the adventurers in our city with a level have joined, because the matter is urgent, so all the medicines in the city are basically bought by them, I'm afraid they can't even buy bandages, if you want to buy medicine, it's absolutely impossible."
The iron-level magic made the uncle leisurely raise a finger, indicating that this was one of them, although it was indeed a bit too much to drink, but the order of the words was still relatively normal.
"Makes sense."
The emperor whispered to himself, it is really hard to imagine what scale of expedition this is, I took a look when I passed by the market just now, and even the grain that was easy to preserve was swept up in half.
"If you go to the desert now, you will have the best luck to come back tomorrow morning, as for the cactus, little sister, you may not know, the cacti do not move during the day, so picking their corollas is the easiest task. However, at night, they become active and attack creatures in groups, which are very terrifying monsters. “
The magic made the uncle hold out a second finger.
"That's right, in the desert at night, no one would have survived if there was no demon slaying enchantment."
"Cacti attack creatures and bury their carcasses in the sand, where they take root and absorb nutrients."
"The cacti in the desert are all in groups, and they are very difficult to deal with."
The experienced adventurers around him began to talk about it.
"So, as long as this mission is at night, maybe it can be done by today's silver-level adventurers, and I think that no one here dares to take it, including me."
The magic made the uncle take a sip of wine to himself, and there was no smile on his face.
His words actually have another meaning, almost all the fierce people with strong blood and strength have followed Gustav and the others to do the mission, to put it mildly, most of the people who are still in the city are people who are not confident in their own strength.
As soon as these words came out, no one refuted them.
"But...... If you wait until dawn...... Will it be ......"
The girl looked eagerly at the muscle medicine man, as if she was trying to grasp the only straw, but her prayers were ultimately to no avail, although in a sense, the sound of prayer did reach the ears of the "gods".
"Hey...... I'm afraid I won't be able to last that much time...... Maybe it's ...... in about eight hours."
The pharmacist gritted his teeth fiercely, of course he couldn't bear to tell the truth, but if he didn't say it at this time, I was afraid that the matter would be even more serious.
Many people who know a little about medicine also shook their heads and remained silent, and sometimes they couldn't even last eight hours.
Huang Taiyi lowered his head and calculated the time, if he set off now, maybe he could return within eight hours, and he couldn't delay it at all.
"I see, thank you, uncles."
Unexpectedly, the girl did not beg or be knocked down on the spot, but instead showed a reluctant smile on her face, mixed with tears in the corners of her eyes, like a heavy stone, weighing on everyone's hearts.
When people are desperate, they sometimes laugh.
"Can you ask a question? I've wanted to ask for a long time. ”
Looking expressionlessly at Si Ming, who was about to stand up, the emperor picked up the last nut, gently knocked off the excess salt on it, and put it in his mouth.
"Say, what's the politeness."
Si Ming's wine had already woken up a little, and he asked with red eyes.
"The gods in my understanding should be all ruthless guys, no matter what happens in the world, they are completely equal in the eyes of God, they don't need emotional factors, and they don't need to do anything themselves, as long as they maintain absolute justice, am I wrong?"
In Huang Taiyi's eyes, there was no smile, only confusion.
"Probably...... Maybe...... Because my head is not very good? ”
Si Ming scratched his hair, quietly spit out the tip of his tongue and grimaced.
"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
As soon as the emperor covered his chest, he coughed, but he didn't expect to get such an answer that he couldn't refute at all.
"Ah Tai is not the same, she is obviously doing the work of saving the world, but she is always thinking crankily in her heart, and it is not just at all."
Si Ming retorted unrelentingly.
"Whew...... That's what we do outsourcing.,Work is not linked to a sense of justice.,But,Since there is a goddess who has a strong sense of justice but doesn't have enough IQ, force, and breasts.,I just need to do the part that is outsourced to me.,Isn't it? ”
Huang Taiyi finally smiled with some relief.
"You just said the word breasts! Absolutely! Tut...... How can men be like this, forget it...... Feed! Over there - this task, we're next! ”
After Si Ming glared at the emperor, he turned his head in a hundred times and shouted loudly.
"That's right, we're next."
Huang Taiyi stood behind Si Ming, and smiled harmlessly.
"What?"
The girl, who was almost desperate, suddenly encountered a huge surprise, and she didn't react for a while, looking at Si Ming and Huang Taiyi with blank eyes.
Coaxing-
The surroundings fryed all at once, appreciative, skeptical, and discussed.
"You guys? Will it work? ”
The hotel owner obviously saw Si Ming's profession, and his face was full of suspicion.
"What can I do, I say!"
"That's it! You can't do something at all, so it makes you great, doesn't it? ”
The two strong men who seemed to be brothers slapped the table and stood up, strode up to Huang Taiyi, and the heavy smell of wine sprayed at once.
Si Ming obediently hid behind Huang Taiyi.
"It's Brother Boar."
"Didn't these two go with the big army?"
"It seems that they wanted to go, but they robbed the spoils of other adventurers twice last month, and injured people, and were warned, probably because this one didn't qualify?"
"Originally, their character was not very good."
The surrounding discussion was endless, and the emperor immediately understood that most of the two brothers were kicked out because they did not participate in the mission, and then borrowed wine here to vent their anger.
"Drunkards just lie on the side honestly, and if you want to talk to others, at least learn the basics."
When the emperor faced these two drunks who were full of alcohol, of course, it was impossible to give them any good faces.
"What do you say? Eldest brother! Teach him a lesson! ”
"That's right! Brother! ”
The two brothers may have some kind of tacit understanding subconsciously, and the two of them waved their casserole-sized fists and blasted at Huang Taiyi's face at the same time.
"Be careful!"
The girl, who had come back to her senses, sank in her heart and cried out loudly.
"Hoo ......"
Huang Taiyi's hands drew an approximate fan-shaped shape in the air at the same time, lightly blocking the fists of the two brothers, although the five fingers were straight and vertical although it was the action of a hand knife, but when he used it, there was a kind of monk's palms to worship the Buddha's * momentum.
It's all bluffing, in fact, it is to imitate the actions of a patient at the end of the century.
The two tall brothers froze in place like stupid, their fists against the edge of Huang Taiyi's palm, motionless.
"Let's go."
Si Ming jumped on Huang Taiyi's shoulder with a big grin.
"I'll fetch it, wait for me."
When Huang Taiyi passed by the girl, he smiled kindly at her, did not stop, and went directly out of the gate.
Knock –
"It hurts!"
The gate was too low, and Si Ming's head was hit, and he screamed in pain.
It would be very embarrassing to stop now, so Huang Taiyi instead accelerated his pace.
None of the people present dared to chase it out to take a look.
"Ah......h
"Big Brother ......"
As if petrified, the two brothers came back to their senses at this time, their bodies had just moved, but the leather armor they were wearing exploded into countless pieces with a bang.
"I ...... I'm still alive...... The ...... just now It's ......."
"Yes...... Yes...... Eldest brother...... Ahhh ”
The eldest of the two brothers took out the money bag and threw it to the boss without looking at it, and the two escaped from the hotel with their tails between their legs.
"That's the 'qi' created by a warrior monk who has been practicing boxing for many years, and I heard that it can penetrate everything, even if you wear heavy armor, you can't prevent it."
"Yes, those two idiots also understand that if that person wanted to do it just now, it would not be the leather armor on his body that would be broken now, but the internal organs in his stomach."
"It's so strong?"
The things that everyone was talking about were transferred to Si Ming and Huang Taiyi, and there were people present who knew them, so the unreliable rumors began to roll bigger and bigger.
"Who are those two people?"
Looking blankly in the direction where the two were leaving, the girl asked as if she was talking to herself.
"It's a righteous partner passing by."
The hotel owner smiled and began to make a drink.
"Righteous ...... What the? ”
The girl doesn't seem to understand the boss's meaning at all.
"Only people with poor brains can become righteous partners, and there have been many such people in the past...... This cup was invited to you by Grandpa. ”
The boss handed the girl the cold juice and glanced at the night sky outside the door.
It's dark, but there seems to be a few bits of starlight to guide you.
