Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 24 The Messengers Conquered by the Singing
After a night of repeated struggles, Sean was able to fall asleep. There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the bear child Ivan came from half asleep.
"Sean get up quickly, the sun is all on his ass!"
Damn, reluctant eyelids opened, and the sun shone through the window with a rooster crow. The rooster crows louder than usual, no one has taken their jobs this morning, and the strongest rooster in the messenger is working harder, and with the crow, it also means the beginning of life.
Impatient by the annoying knock on the door, Sean buried his head under the pillow in the hope that the bear child would retreat.
"Sean, get up, have breakfast..."
"Damn Ivan Ivanovich, knock on this damn door again, and I'll let you know what a spiral is."
The unlucky thing of the day can be wearing the wrong sleeve, booing in the upper of the shoe, or even more unlucky touching a bear child. Ivan, who is curious about everything, is between being naughty and even more naughty, Sean has not seen the boss have any discipline for Ivan, let alone heard about Ivan's mother, and the only news I have heard may be that when Sean first came, he mentioned that the proprietress was on the second floor.
"Why don't people here learn to be polite, reckless man! I hope there is a Professor Yang who can educate the children of the other world well. ”
Reluctantly ripped off the quilt, put on some rough linen underwear, and put the little brother in a good position to avoid being bruised by the rough fabric, and take good care of himself for the sake of future happiness.
"Ivan, if you can't give me an explanation, I'll tell you why the flowers are so red."
"Sean, haven't you reformed yourself?"
"What is rehabilitation? Explain to me what it was about waking me up so early? Have you forgotten the torture you received last month? ”
At the mention of torture, the bear child Ivan recalled the bad things, subconsciously covered his crotch, and hid in the corner of the corridor with broken steps.
"That Sean, didn't you realize yesterday what you had been wrong all along? I'm here to wake you up. ”
"Yesterday morning? When are you... Hey, forget it, there's no next time!"
"Okay!"
······
Mornings are always the worst time for tavern business, and after a period of trial operation in the morning, the morning of the tavern is unattended, and the adventurers who have had a good night's rest and a night of fighting are obviously more willing to pay more for a heart-warming meal at the Wheat Ear Restaurant. It is said that eighty percent of first-time customers who visit Angel will definitely order one of the most expensive signature dishes at Wheat Ears Restaurant, so that they can bounce back from the blow. Because of the strong performance of the Wheat Ears Restaurant, the black bread set introduced by the tavern was even more dwarfed, and after discussion between the owner and the chef Adam, they had to stop serving in the morning and sell the black bread to the drunken drinkers in the evening to recover some losses.
The tavern, which is no longer open for breakfast, has become a time for employees to bond together, and the staff of the tavern will exchange various topics during the meal, except for Sean, who loves to sleep in, and today, this is also the second morning party after Sean came to the tavern. The tavernkeeper, the chef Adam, and the unknown tavern steward, all of whom have given up on continuing to fight on the battlefield, have their own reasons. Brauney still goes to do muscle exercises after the morning, in her words, "I am a woman who wants to be a knight, how can I play magic and mother-in-law things, real women should be hand-to-hand combat." ”
Sean, Bane, and Jackson are all interested in this and are willing to be Brauney's opponents, whether it's real hand-to-hand or real hand-to-hand combat.
Bane and Jackson are still busy between taverns and adventures, and their intelligence work is getting bigger and bigger, which has to do with all the strange things happening on the battlefield. In the past, everyone talked more about kobolds and forest trolls, and the angry bear was already the most powerful existence in the entire area, but the habit of the angry bear to be alone made the adventurers not so afraid to meet them. And the most headache is the Sartre family, budding adventurers often see one or two young Sartre, and they have a murderous intention, but they often plunge into Sartre's group, where there is a small Sartre, there must be a large group, their habitat covers a wide area, and it is also a forbidden area that all adventures do not want to approach.
The battlefield that has been in this way for years has recently changed, with black dragons coming out of nowhere, hunters breaking into any creature in their territory, forging their own nests out of the bones left over from food. In the river on the periphery of the battlefield, its water flow also began to decrease, the water level began to drop, more and more people explained that they were not confused by illusions, and could really see monsters on the other side of the river, some said that it was a huge stone staring at themselves, some people said that it was a white skeleton with carrion hanging on it, and some people opened their mouths greedily drooling, and some even said that they saw the demons in hell, where the demons walked, the flames burned the earth, and those eyes wanted to absorb the soul.
Because of all kinds of disorganized news, Bane and Jackson's business is getting better and better, and there is no shortage of people who buy news, whether it is confirmed or grapevine. According to the calculations of both of them. Keeping their income growing every day, in less than a month they will be able to completely change their equipment and join the top forces in the battlefield, and the boss also knows their progress, and recently started looking for a waiter who can replace them, the dream of a good boy shouldn't be stopped, right?
This morning, Bane and Jackson were excited to report the progress of their income, and everyone was happy for them, they hooked shoulders, and Sean was able to write a hundred thousand words about their love story. The boss sat in the corner of the table, a little abnormal, frowning, sighing from time to time, and Ivan on the side should have behaved in the past, staying quietly aside.
"What's wrong with the boss, if you are unhappy to say it, let's be happy." Bane smiled evilly, hoping to learn about the boss, who is said to have a great selling point among the women of the battlefield.
"Bane, who was a little overexcited, had apparently forgotten the tavern's biggest taboo, and never teased the man who was once known as the Grim Reaper of the battlefield at any time."
Sean was narrating on the side, while admiring the boss's skillful techniques, and soon the very artistic human rice dumplings Bane was freshly baked and hung on a familiar tree, Sean gloated as Bane struggled on the tree, leaving Jackson with tears on the side.
Looking at Ivan, who was tangled on the side, Sean felt that his tone in the morning was a little too much, which made the bear child still sullen when he had melons to eat.
"What's the matter, Ivan, stop thinking about the morning, have you been reprimanded by me less?"
"It's not a matter of the morning, Sean, when have you reprimanded me? Do you dare? ”
"I reprimand you for using metaphors, metaphors can not be understood, this is advanced knowledge, read more books to understand."
When he heard the reading, Ivan put his head down and whispered: "My mother is coming back, and the biggest taboo in the tavern is not my father." ”
"What, isn't it good that your mother is coming back? You see, the boss doesn't want someone who can take care of the children. ”
Sean is particularly contemptuous of the boss's taking the child, it is simply the kind of making a piece of mud for Ivan and signaling Ivan to play on the ground, he has never seen the boss educate Ivan, nor has he seen Ivan learn anything.
The surrounding melon-eating crowd all fell silent when they heard Sean's words, Jackson held back the tears that were about to flow, and the boss turned his back with a red face, leaving only the sound of Bane struggling in the tree.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it a good thing that the hostess is back? I haven't seen the proprietress yet, Ivan can be so cute, the proprietress must be a big beauty. ”
The tavern staff looked at Sean sympathetically and left to leave Bane alone.
The tavern dad took Ivan by the hand and returned to the tavern like resignation, Sean was a little confused, is the proprietress a tigress? Hegemonism, subordination to all the renovations of the tavern?
No, it must be a devilish existence, using the means of hellish demons to clean up those who disobey her, Sean feels that he has guessed the truth, and he must have a good relationship, and he can become the second-in-command of the tavern.
Touching the Book of Rubick in his pocket, thinking that the proprietress hadn't come back anyway, Sean decided to get his own messenger first, and never need to bring so many supplies himself in the future, he could give it to the adventurer's good companion messenger, and he could also offer an excellent spare food for his body in times of crisis, it is said that messengers are very special chickens, have a certain amount of wisdom, and are powerful enough to have conversations.
Bane hung upside down from the tree in front of the door to dispel Sean's unhappiness of being woken up this morning, and if he could enjoy such a scene every day, it was not impossible to get up early every day.
The unified distribution place of the messenger is not far from the World Tree, through the center of the camp, it is difficult to see people on the street, busy adventurers start a new day of exploration, according to the grapevine, the most powerful team decided to set up a guild, all adventurers must go to the register, in order to improve the chaotic situation in the camp, will be issued in the form of a task, in the safe area demarcated by the guild, must pay a certain maintenance fee to find those weak monsters trouble. Powerful monsters, just leave it to fate, whoever has the ability will go with you. In the safe zone, the adventurers collect the materials they need and sell them to the guild in order to cut off the profiteers' looting of the adventurers, which is the only benefit that Sean can think of, ensuring the interests of the adventurers. This also caused the blacksmith Hoover to have an underground meeting with the merchants of the grocery store for several days in a row, and yesterday Hoover who came out of the Angel Building explained his dirty behavior by saying that he was too stressed and needed to be released.
Half an hour later, Sean arrived near the World Tree, and was greeted by a foul smell, fortunately, the people who mixed in the battlefield were in very good health, otherwise such an environment would definitely cause a certain degree of epidemic, and the children also tacitly agreed to stay away from this place. Unlike other buildings on the battlefield, no one knows when the Courier Shop was established, but it is possible that the Courier 1321 Store was built when the World Tree was erected.
Cover your nose and keep telling yourself to take it and leave when you look at it, never be picky, never bargain, and leave this biochemical zone as quickly as possible, and the corrals that have not been cleaned for a long time have produced fermenting gases.
Cover your nose with the Book of Rubick, which constantly releases cleansing techniques to alleviate the disgusting smell. Sean pushed open the door of the old year, wondering when this dilapidated gate would be broken by a newcomer and then stay here for the rest of his life to work and lose money, it would be really a sin.
"Oh, a newcomer, I haven't seen a newcomer in a long time, but this year two groups of people have come to receive the messenger."
An old man with few hairs left on his head, his skin wrinkled together, and his body crawling with age spots rejoiced with joy Sean's arrival, and the most impressive thing was his white beard that dragged him to the ground, which made people wonder if the vitality of the whole person had grown to the beard.
"Excuse me, I'm here to get the messenger, it's good if it works, please hurry up, thank you."
The smell in the store is even stronger, I really don't know how this old man adapts to such an environment, can it be said that those who have become bald are strong.
"Young people nowadays are so impatient, can't they all listen to an old man's nagging?" The old man said a little lonely, "Forget it, young man, come with me, and choose a messenger who likes you." ”
Sean was a little reluctant, the messenger is a public service project, you can't use snacks, at least clean up, and said carefully, "Aren't you just taking one for me?" ”
The old man turned and motioned for Sean to follow, "Of course not, you have to like your messenger to make a contract." ”
"What does it mean to like?"
"Hmm... It should be okay to see that you are pleasing to the eye, otherwise a random one defects, and you have no place to cry if you want a new one, but the price is very expensive. ”
"Okay."
In order to save money and prove the charm of being a man, Sean can only bite the bullet. Whispering to Rubick's book to increase the intensity of cleaning, although it can't completely isolate the smell, it can still play a certain role in alleviating it, it is really a must-have magic book for home travel.
When they arrived at the corral where the messenger was housed, a chirping sound was heard, and the messenger who stayed here was very happy to have a new master, and it was better to be able to run freely outside than to waste his life in a small place. None of the people on the battlefield who are eligible to receive it have been rejected or returned empty-handed, except for those who have extra money and are willing to change to a faster or more beautiful messenger, such as a winged panda, which is the most popular category except for messenger chicks, with its cute appearance, to help the majority of men find a mate, and its price is also frightening, reaching nine hundred gold coins, enough to arm seven to eight low-level adventurers, more than enough. However, the old man only has the common chicken messengers here, and those who need extra money to buy are placed in large, neat places, and those who have money are the masters.
The old man pushed open the door of the corral and led Sean to choose the messenger in the eye. Seeing the newcomers coming, all the messenger chicks raised their heads and stood in a neat queue like a military parade. One only shows a confident look, showing their love for the new owner to the new owner.
Looking at all kinds of chicks, Sean didn't know which one to choose for a while, and in his eyes, each one seemed to be the same. I still remember the black guys I came into contact with before, as long as there are more than two in front of Sean, I can't tell who is who, and I can only distinguish the difference by height and body type.
"Which one should I choose, it looks like they all like me, can you give me any advice?"
Just as Sean hesitated to ask the old man, he didn't know which chick came from the sound, and then the whole corral blew up.
"Goo, it's him, the one who, as a human, robbed us of the privilege of snorting, Goo-goo."
"Goo, I remember his voice, Goo, Big Brother learned his voice for me, brothers, sisters, Goo, we just stay here for the rest of our lives, we can't run freely, we can't follow him, Goo."
"Yes, this human has trampled on our dignity, and his broken voice dares to steal our work, coo."
······
Seeing the chickens in a mess, the old man obviously didn't expect such an unfolding, and asked with some surprise: "You sang that song yesterday?" ”
Sean nodded helplessly.
"Oh my God, people don't remember that voice just now when they're old, not to mention that the voice is indeed the same, it seems that you have no chance with the chickens."
When Sean heard this, he was a little flustered, how could he deprive him of the right to receive the messenger out of thin air, this is unfair treatment.
"Don't, don't give up, maybe there are some special points, independent messengers, you can help me find it."
"See for yourself their attitudes."
Following the direction indicated by the old man, Sean eagerly hoped that there would be a messenger who responded to his warm eyes, but what he got was a blank of eyes, without exception, don't ask Sean why he can see a white eye of the chickens, maybe they are all cataract chickens.
"There's no other way? You've been trying to figure it out. ”
"No, I don't know, it's hopeless, you kid messenger dare to provoke, there's a set."
"Let's not choose the chicken messenger, but something else? For example, the kind of panda that doesn't have wings can also become. ”
The old man swept Sean's clothes, spread his hands and said: "Look at the way you don't want to be rich, the rich won't come here, and the newcomers are even less likely to be rich, the cheapest kind of three hundred gold coins, how many do you have?" ”
"Fifteen gold coins, won't it? Is it okay to write an IOU for the rest? I have a good reputation, if you don't believe me, ask the bounty hunter Gang, and the money I owe him has been repaid. ”
"Save up slowly, young man, if you have a chance in the future, you can make a few more trips without a messenger."
"Is this a matter of a few more trips, this is a man's face problem, I can't be the first person to be rejected by all the messengers."
The old man looked at Sean suspiciously, indicating what kind of man you are a little brat.
"Whoever brings the handle counts, otherwise my Sean's reputation will be ruined."
The old man said helplessly, "But I really can't help it, they resist you so much, the contract can't be signed at all." ”
"I don't care, I won't leave until it's solved. No, I come here every day from time to time to sing, every day, on a loop. ”
Looking at Sean who fell to the ground, the old man was obviously frightened out of his heart by the singing, struggled in his heart, and made a fierce decision, "There is still a way, but the quality of the messenger cannot be guaranteed." ”
"What is it?"
"An egg, an abandoned egg, I don't know what kind of creature it is, I don't know if it has the potential to be a messenger, I got it by accident."
"Deal!"
