Chapter 4: The Princess Must Die!
"Alas! What a simple little girl she was at the beginning, but now she has become sharp-tongued. People's hearts are not ancient...... "I blame myself, I'm funny."
Charlotte shook her head as she took the menu from Aisha's hand. This thing was also made at Charlotte's suggestion.
When Charlotte came to the tavern for the first time, she didn't know what to eat or the price of the food, so she felt very inconvenient. Later, when I got acquainted, I proposed to make a menu, so that it was clear what food was available and how much it was.
There was also a wooden board on the counter that said today's specials. It was Charlotte's idea as well.
In this world, there is a shortage of materials, and any new ingredients are sent one day, it is a special dish. It's not those restaurants in the Celestial Empire, you can order whatever you want. Are you going to eat fish? I'm sorry, but the fisherman didn't bring fish today......
"Give me 2 pieces of multigrain bread, 2 baked potatoes, a soup, a sausage, a wild boar chop, 2 eggs, and half a roast chicken. By the way, and a glass of 82-year-old rye! Charlotte said with a hippie smile.
Aisha rolled her eyes and headed to the back kitchen.
"Good girl, I haven't eaten this day, you urge me!"
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry for you!" Aisha didn't say anything, very free and easy.
After a while, Aisha returned with a wooden tray. She put down the food on it one by one, went to the counter and unscrewed the tap of the barrel, and took a full glass of rye wine.
Gruyar belongs to the Norfolk region, which is considered to be the central and western part of the continent, and the products are quite abundant, so the ale wine is not expensive.
I heard that the dwarves of the northern mountains invented a sparkling ale called beer. It should be the group of dwarves who can survive by drinking alcohol and discovering the role of hops. Of course, it's not necessarily whether this otherworld is called hops or not.
Charlotte took the rye wine, took a big sip, and let out a long breath. In Gruyar, most families drink ale as an everyday drink. Most people will brew some of their own, provided that their family's financial situation is not bad.
Because it has been found that drinking ale wine with raw water will reduce the occurrence of diseases. Sanitation in this era was really poor. Plagues and the like erupt at every turn, if it weren't for the magical priest's magic, I don't know what would have become.
As Charlotte ate, she thought back to what had happened since she crossed over. At that time, he appeared directly in the Silver Pine Forest, and when he opened his eyes, he was full of towering trees, and there was a very poisonous system in his head. One can imagine what Charlotte thought at that time. The devil knows how he survived.
Thanks to the wilderness survival knowledge given to him by Bei Ye, under the protection of the Stone Tooth Boar and the Clay Stone Demon, Charlotte began her own difficult wilderness survival. The next day, he was lucky enough to pick up a corpse! The corpse was still an intellectual, and he actually carried a diary with him.
From the diary, Xia Luo learned that this second-year young man named Ai Wen could have relied on his ability to read and hyphenate and find a decent job. But this thing has heard a lot of adventure stories since he was a child, and he wants to be an adventurer.
It turned out to be a corpse. According to the scribbled account in his diary, he encountered a goblin hunting team, and although he was lucky enough to escape, his wound became infected and he was unable to make it out of the forest.
He had the misfortune to die on his first adventure, but for Charlotte, he had died a well-deserved death. Charlotte took two pieces of black bread out of his bag to fill his stomach, and learned where Grual was from his diary.
It was a lifesaver. With such a large area of forest without an exact location, I am afraid that I will end up trapped in this forest. Charlotte immediately decided to follow the instructions in the diary and bring the adventurer's emblem of the dead ghost Evan back to the adventurer's guild in Gruyar. Later, he also completed his first mission. Gained some experience and fate points.
But at that time, just when Charlotte felt that he was saved, full of ambition and confidence, the wild goblins in the forest taught him a lesson.
It was probably late in the evening, and the visibility was already low. Charlotte lit the fire with the flint she had received from Aven. I think it's safe at night, after all, wild beasts are afraid of fire. As a result, he was unknowingly surrounded by more than a dozen wild goblins.
That's when Charlotte remembered, Damn! Wild goblins aren't afraid of fire! With the Stonefang Boar and the Clay Stone Demon, Charlotte can't be saved at all. Just when Charlotte thought she was about to be glorious, the white deer appeared.
It shone with a faint white light, and its majestic antlers were very majestic. As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards the wild goblins, headbutting and kicking, each of which seemed to cause the air to concuss, and it was truly invincible. The wild goblins scattered and fled. In the end, about seven or eight died.
After solving the group of wild goblins, the white deer glanced at Xia Luo lightly and left. At that time, Charlotte thought that it would be her turn to kill the wild goblins.
Later, I found out in the tavern that the white deer with the light was the spirit of this forest. It's still very friendly to people. There are many people who have received its blessings......
Charlotte ate all the food, wiped her mouth, and walked to the bar to settle the bill with the tavern keeper Trevor Sr.
Old Trevor was a somewhat balding man, forty or fifty years old, and looked a little scruffy. He had a very vicious face, and he didn't look like a tavern owner but a thief who wanted to kill him.
He was a well-known adventurer in his early years, but later he was shot in the knee...... So he returned to the remote town where he was born, married a wife, had children, and opened a tavern.
Only one out of ten adventurers will survive to the point of old age and infirmity. And even fewer of them can save up and go home to enjoy themselves.
For example, Aven, who was the captain of the transportation team for Charlotte, hung up as soon as he debuted......
"Hi, old Trevor. Have you had any good assignments lately? "The townsfolk sometimes can't trust the Adventurers' Guild and will hang quests in the tavern to see if anyone in the area can help.
Charlotte settled the money for the meal, a total of 1 silver and 15 copper. He sat on a high-legged stool in front of the bar, sipping his rye wine, and he refilled. This high-legged bar stool was also proposed by him, so that it is very similar to bars on the earth.
Old Trevor was wiping an oak glass with a white cloth in the bar.
"Wild boars have been going on at Farm Farm to the north lately. It is said that we have wild boars here as a specialty. But this time a very large female boar took the lead, and several farmers on the farm were injured, and they couldn't help the boar at all. If we don't get rid of it sooner, this year's potato harvest will probably be lost. ”
Trevor Sr. put the cup away and wiped the counter again.
"Oh, yes. The group also nicknamed the boar Princess! They promised to pay 10 silver coins and two bags of dried potatoes if they killed the princess. In addition, the priest Charlie Sr. was willing to give a piece of hard leather armor as a reward. ”
Trevor Sr. added, "...... I think that wild boar has the strength of the black iron top, do you want to give it a try? ”
As soon as Old Trevor finished speaking, Charlotte had a reaction in her head. It's a hint from the system! Charlotte quietly opened the prompt and took a look:
"Ding-dong! Congratulations on triggering the quest: the princess must die. Mission Class: D-class.
Content: Kill the boar princess within 10 days. Rewards: 500 XP, 20 Destiny Points, and a random card with a maximum level of green.
Note: The countryman's potatoes depend on you, young man, you can do it! ”
Hold a grass! What's the matter with my fellow potatoes?
Charlotte is not the kind of righteous partner who will go out of his way when he sees someone in need. It's impossible to spill blood for the sake of the countryman's potatoes!
But now that the system acknowledges this quest and there are card rewards, it's different! Let me tell you, I'm in charge of the countryman's potatoes!
Charlotte slapped the table, and said righteously: "I am obligated to do this!" Tell me, where is the boar? ”
Old Trevor rolled his cloudy old eyes and pursed his lips dismissively.
I've known each other for months, and who still doesn't know who? If you catch a toad, you have to pee out, what kind of holy warrior are you pretending to be with me?
"You have to go to old Charlie first, as the priest of Mother Earth, he has a responsibility to protect the nearby agriculture. If it weren't for the fact that he, an old priest with a black iron position, didn't have that strength, he would have done it himself. ”
"Our Gruyar is too remote, and there are too few adventurers every year. The powerful adventurers all went out to roam, and the rest of the minions went to a few and almost didn't let the boar die...... Old Charlie's hair was gray, otherwise he would not have been able to take out a piece of hard leather armor as a reward. You must know that the equipment in the temple is much better than the ones on the market......"
Old Trevor is usually very silent, but in front of acquaintances, he can't hold it as soon as the box is opened. Charlotte listened to old Trevor's nagging as she gathered information. When I first came to this world, I was familiar with this world from the nagging of old Trevor and the blowing of the drinkers.
Charles Sr. was the priest of Mother Earth, a very old deity also known as the Goddess of Grain, the Goddess of Harvest, the Mother Earth or the Mother Goddess. She is a goddess who specializes in fertility and symbolizes the blessings of the earth, and is revered as the great mother of agriculture.
The priesthood of Mother Earth God contains: farming, crops planted, farmer, gardener, summer. Her clergy also played the role of shepherds, guarding against the destruction of farming by the wicked. That's why they are often widely respected in the farming community. Therefore, the destruction of farmland by wild boars is the responsibility of the priest of Mother Earth God.
Unfortunately, Old Charlie was only a junior pastor, and he was old. His task was more to instruct farmers in planting and to disseminate knowledge about cropping and animal husbandry. and presiding over ceremonies at various ceremonies and festivals to promote the teachings of Mother Earth.
Charlotte had seen this old priest before, he was only level 3, and he could just use level 1 divine arts, and he could cure a minor illness or injury, or make some healing potions. And the so-called black iron upper rank is at least level 6 to 9.
In addition, animals of the same level are usually stronger. If the old priest were to deal with the wild boar himself, it was estimated that the beast would be able to taste what the priest of the earth goddess was like.
Charlotte thought of these two, and remembered what old Trevor said, adventurers with a little ability have gone out. Not only is his heart also hot. It's just that his current strength is really watery, so don't die.
Replenish the troops first, collect the wild monsters, and then carry the whole field later......
Charlotte put down the empty glass and said, "Good! I went to old Charlie and asked what was going on. He got up and was about to leave.
At this time, a big man who was drinking stood up, and the big man was about 1.9 meters tall, very majestic. He was dressed in an old leather armor, and with a small round shield and a one-handed sword on the edge of the table, he looked like an adventurer.
He was at the same table with two men, one also dressed as a warrior, but with a bow by his side; The other looked like a thief. They should all be his adventurous companions.
I saw that the strong man's face was slightly red, and he was full of wine, and it seemed that he had drunk too much. He stretched out his hand to stop Charlotte as she was leaving.
"Wait! Even a rookie like you also want to deal with the black iron superior? Are you a little too arrogant? Beware of being bitten to death by a wild boar, how ugly it is! ”
Charlotte was stunned and shook the grass! Which green onion are you? What is the relationship between me fighting wild boars and a few copper plates with you? Is that female boar your friend?
Barely suppressing her anger, Charlotte asked with a strange expression, "What does this have to do with you?" Get out of the way ......"
The strong man grinned and flicked the badge hanging on his chest, the D-class adventurer badge, indicating that this was already an experienced adventurer.
"You rookies just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so do you really think that the top black iron is potatoes grown in the ground? I don't know how many people have died from arrogance. I don't want to see you tricked into being sent to death, so I kindly remind you. Leave this kind of thing to a veteran like us to solve! ”
As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Trevor Sr., who happened to look up at him, his cloudy eyes full of cold light. The big man felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that Old Trevor was actually a master, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Old Trevor. For a while, even the strength of the wine dissipated.
I thought: I'm afraid the strength of this hotel owner is not simple, I'd better not mess with him. But he didn't mean to stop me, and he probably wouldn't interfere. Such a great opportunity is so rare......
