The morning sun was as yellow and velvet as a chick, falling from the winding mountains and covered with flowing rivers, grassy slopes, and shrubs......

Yellow dandelions float by, butterflies with intricate patterns are chasing, purple bobo grass is easy to scratch passers-by, and lizard-like rats make a rustling sound, and they are culled by brown snakes and dragged into a pile of rotten wood.

Adam and Jane had been gone all morning, paying attention to the things around him, and when he was reborn, the experience in his mind became mere knowledge, and what he saw with his own eyes would have a wonderful feeling of first encounter.

At noon, the two sat on the abandoned carriage that overturned on the side of the road, eating the dried wolf meat strips last night, and the tributaries and lakes on the Kundia continent were everywhere, and it was more convenient to get water.

Tall trees and dimly lit swamps are buried the legacies of the brave and the lost, as well as countless carrions.

All kinds of comings and goings, rolling out the wide yellow roads on the grass, extending to every settlement on the mainland, the dry and hard roads are actually very difficult to walk.

For Adam, who is fully recovered, this is nothing.

Jane was able to walk down without saying a word, and he was impressed, and it took half an afternoon, when the day began to tilt, and they finally arrived at Matthew's village.

There was a stubble of harvested straw in the flat crop field, the smoke from the chimney of the winery was thick and full, and the guards on horseback and the guards at the entrance of the village all showed disdain and warning.

[You have arrived at the village of Matthew, where Lord Arnold occupies it, and the villagers are looking at you with expressionless faces. 】

There were village women in patched skirts, farmers in short shirts, shirtless blacksmiths, and bad old men trimming the medicine gardens, and there was no superfluous happiness on their faces.

The neighing of horses was heard, and here was Adam's longing mount.

[On the public notice board at the entrance of the village, there are often recent announcements and commissions. 】

Adam and Jane stopped in front of a sign strewn with nail marks and yellowed paper, and everyone around them looked at it.

[(Clue 1) Yellowed announcement]

[The grain of the mill is occupied by the evil banshees, and Lord Arnold has offered a bounty of 1 gold crow to get rid of her.] 】

Adam didn't linger, and after remembering the commission, he wandered all the way around the village, sweeping through the wood-roofed and stone-walled houses, and finally saw the words "Tavern LV1" in the notes.

Adam took Jane's hand, glanced at the horses tethered to the doorway, and the blue dots on the map, and pushed open the oak door.

The noise in the neat tavern came to an abrupt end, and two tables of soldiers sat around, wearing leather armor and knives and axes, exuding a strong smell of alcohol and anger.

Jane nervously bowed her head, closed her eyes and let Adam lead her, and sat down on the bench in front of the bar.

"Boss, I need a glass of wine with a high degree and hot food."

In the hardwood bar, there was only one thick-bearded uncle, who had a gloomy face in front of the wine rack, picked up a few pieces of black-skinned bread next to him, wrapped them casually, and threw them over.

"Ten bronze wolves, nothing else! Bear legs, please get out of this room......"

He pulled out a white rag and wiped the clean countertop in front of the two of them, his tone full of repellent.

Adam lazily propped up his arms and said in a playful tone.

"The wheat field is good, and this year's harvest should be good, but you just give me this kind of chaff that doesn't taste like milk?"

"Are you deaf, if you want to live, get out of here, why are you here with such a child!"

The boss's voice was very low, but his tone was already anxious, and he saw two drunken guys leaning in this direction.

"Wolf belly!"

The boss gritted his teeth angrily, the rag was held in his hand, and he turned around after slamming the table, indicating that he would not mix it again.

"Leave this woman behind, you can save your two legs, and now climb out of this door."

The tall soldier, dressed in a mess and with wine foam and mud on his beard, patted the sword at his waist and spoke in a fierce tone.

[Alcoholic soldiers are provoking you, and your decisions have far-reaching consequences. 】

Adam looked sideways, two tables, one of five soldiers with a gloomy face, and the other of the better-equipped captain and lieutenant, who were distraught and drank.

[The stranger on the other side has gradually lost patience, the number of guards in the village is unlikely to let you get out alive, if you don't have an answer before the other party draws his sword, then the ghoul's dinner will be over.] 】

"If you pull out this sword, I'll die here today, but there must be two guys with me, and you're the most likely one."

Adam showed the long sword at his waist, and the soldier on the other side was a little angry, but saw Adam pointing to his crotch and finished with a smile.

"Put your legs away, and I'll treat you to a glass of the best wine. Or would you rather gamble your brothers' lives for the sake of coolness? ”

The drunk panted, but his eyes flickered, already tangled

Bang!

The captain's glass slammed on the table, the iron armor on his body rattled, and the fierce soldiers just now got out of the way.

[Captain of the guard with a heavy heart]

[Monologue: That's it!] 】

He walked up to Adam and looked down at the calm-looking young man as he reached for his sword at his waist, and the air in the tavern froze in this arc, and the guards in the back row began to rise.

However, the other party's hand reached into his waist pocket and threw a few silver pythons on the table.

The soldier walked away in amusement, and the tavernkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, took the two dry wooden cups, and poured the liquor with a clatter.

"My people, I invite myself, where are you from?"

[The captain of the guard has put down his hostility towards you, and you have not made a feud with Arnold's forces, which is a wise move. 】

Jane next to her was already scared silly.

Adam looked at Nianbai, and he was relieved in his heart, and began to chat with the captain of the guard, saying that he was a mercenary and wandered here to see if he could make some commissions.

"Oh? You're brave enough to come to my team," he paused, "but not your woman." ”

"Forget it, I have no plans to join the army, but I am very interested in the commission of the village."

This seemed to ask him about the source of his troubles, and the wooden cup slammed into each other.

On the mountainside next to the village of Matthew, there is a large mill. He hoarded a grain that Lord Arnold had brought from the south, but then something happened, and the family died, and the hostess became a wraith and haunted there.

The mill collapsed for no apparent reason, the grain was gone, and now the thing still occupies it. The captain of the guard and his entourage were ordered to get rid of her, but unfortunately they broke a group of people and did nothing.

"Give me a silver sword, and I'll help you get the bounty."

"Heh, your mouth is bigger than a horse's ass! My team of ten people, all armed with silver swords and ghoul oil, can't collect the corpses yet! ”

"You have to believe the professionals, I'm a mercenary and eat bounties. Get me a silver sword, and when it's done, give me a horse, and the golden crow coins in the bounty will be yours. ”

The captain of the guard stared at his face, making sure that the other party showed no signs of being drunk or insane.

"I'll have the blacksmith beat you and send it to the tavern tomorrow morning."

The other party settled the wine money when he left, and Adam noticed that he had given a few more silver foxes, but the boss didn't show any gratitude.

【Request from Mathew Village (preparation time 17h)】

[You found out that the owner of the tavern has a story about a teenager lying upstairs, why don't you ask? 】
