Chapter Fifty-Eight: Arrival
The finishing touches were done, the sword was unsheathed, and Dejuran returned to the ranks.
"Not bad." Valya said that she was teasing more than complimenting.
"Thank you." De Youlan said, "It's a little meaning. ”
The elven ranger tugged at the corners of his mouth, saying that you are fat and panting.
They were despised as adventurers, but in the eyes of Amelia, who was a mountain dweller, she ran to pick up the gnolls' weapons. Basics is rudimentary, better than nothing, and those weapons can help the villagers defend themselves against enemies, and so far villagers use sticks or rakes. In fact, for De Youlan, an inch long and an inch strong, those things may be better.
Amelia's appearance of holding two guns and three axes was too funny, De Juran helped get one, and Weine helped take two, at this time one hand and one axe, cutting while walking, all the bushes on the side of the road were damaged, and any insect that appeared in the field of vision was not spared, whether it was a beetle or a butterfly, he was excited to turn half a circle in place, it was a whirlwind slash.
"It's not far ahead."
The next day there were no more gnolls along the way, and after crossing a clear stream, I came out of the dense forest and saw the small village. It was really a small village, estimated to be a dozen or dozens of households, and there was no guard tower outside the village, and there was no wall with large logs nailed into the dirt, so it could be said that there was no defense.
The reason why such a small village can stand tall is probably that there are no fierce beasts around, and the hunters of the ordinary beast village can deal with it completely, the goblins are very weak, and the gnolls are not common, and the ordinary gnolls can also deal with them, as if this time the villagers organized to drive away the gnolls several times, but it is difficult to completely drive away and eliminate those guys.
There was a patrol outside the village, and Amelia had sharp eyes and waved her hand and shouted when she was far away, and then a person left the group and ran excitedly.
"Uncle Martin."
"Amelia?"
"I'm back, I'm bringing the adventurer back."
Holding a gun, it looked like Martin, a forty-year-old man, looked outside the village, originally worried about whether Amelia would encounter an accident when she went out for a day, and sure enough, she should go by herself, but now it seems that the child is now grown up and can be completely on his own, and he can actually leave the village alone to find Roentgen, find the adventurer's guild, issue a commission, and finally bring the adventurer back.
"Good job."
"Hey, hey." Amelia scratches at her hair.
From behind Martin stepped a young boy, dressed in a bow and arrow, dressed as a hunter: "Those adventurers...... No problem. ”
Initially skeptical, Amelia is now completely convinced. She chattered about the incident that everyone had encountered a team of gnolls not long ago, describing how powerful Deyuran was, not only swordsmanship but also spells, and the three gnolls were killed in less than a minute. By the way, he also told him about staying at the other party's house, which is really a powerful and kind-hearted adventurer.
The more the boy listened, the more ugly his expression became: "Why are people treating you well?" It must have ulterior motives. ”
Even though the honorarium was not much, he still accepted his commission. Next, let yourself a stranger stay at home, fruit and pastries, dinner is so rich, I have never eaten such a delicious thing, or the first time to eat hot pot, hot pot is really amazing, thin slices of meat soaked in the soup and stirred out, and then wrapped in chili peppers, so delicious that the tongue has to swallow it. Sleeping in the study at night, the silk futon is too comfortable, and I can't sleep with such a futon, it's so embarrassing. From beginning to end, I didn't do even the slightest suspicious thing to myself. What a good person that is, Amelia was not happy for a moment, she retorted: "You have ulterior motives, bad people see everyone as bad people." ”
In fact, Martin also felt suspicious, adventurers shouldn't be so kind, and an adventurer who knew both swordsmanship and spells was too rare, but there was no evidence.
The boy was still saying, "Amelia, don't be deceived, he's good to you...... Well, it's definitely to trick you into getting your hands on it and then throw it away when you're done. ”
Amelia said, "Mr. De Juran has a lover, the one next to him, a very beautiful elf, and people don't look down on me at all. ”
Is that an elf? Martin looked at Valya at this time, judging from the hair color and figure, they were forest elves, the high elves were more petite, the forest elves were generally very kind, but the high elves were quite cunning. Then I saw Deyulan, and I couldn't see the problem. What's the deal with that little girl at the end? Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, he whispered, "You two don't quarrel, come here." ”
Vene was the first, followed by Dejuran and Valya, and they entered the village.
Martin has been an adventurer before, and he knows how to deal with adventurers.
In short, the boy said "it doesn't look strong at all" and "looks like those playboys" next to him, until Amelia yells "shut up", and finally they are led home by Amelia, who still needs to take a break after a long journey.
"Winde, hurry up."
Although it was only for a short time, Amelia and Vernet became good friends, and she led the little girl to the house, with Dejuran and Valya behind.
"That boy liked Amelia just now." Up a hill, says the Elven Ranger.
"I can see it." De Youlan thought to himself, the performance was too obvious.
"I have a lot of hostility towards you, and I regard you as a rival in love."
Deyulan laughed: "The little boy doesn't know how to pick up girls at all, and his actions will only make Amelia hate him even more." ”
"You seem to be very good at picking up girls?" Valya asked.
"Not at all."
Valya looked at Amelia's back: "That boy already knows that he likes it, and Amelia doesn't seem to understand anything." ”
Deyulan smiled happily: "Poor little boy. ”
Valya squinted at De Youlan, "You seem to be very happy. ”
"It's okay, it's okay." De Yulan said, "If you are innocent and you are being asked for trouble, and now that person is unlucky, are you happy?" ”
"Happy."
Came to Amelia's house, a rather humble home, sheltered from the wind and rain without a problem.
I don't know where the beautiful tail feathers, the smooth and beautiful pebbles, the squirrel tail, the wolf's teeth came from...... Amelia shows Vine her collection.
De Yulan looked around, he had long known that Amelia's parents had died in an accident and that he was living alone. But because of this, the girl has been learning marksmanship with Martin, and is a warrior at a young age, and is somewhat influenced by Martin, who used to be an adventurer, and has a rather wild temperament, and does a thing that goes to Roentgen to find an adventurer, and later is willing to go out of the village and become an adventurer.
Valya soon learns about Amelia's living situation, and gently hugs the girl and strokes the girl's soft blonde hair.
"Eat a little, get some rest, and then go out." Amelia said that she was going to run out, and she lived well in Deyulan's house, and now that everyone had come to her house, there was nothing at home that could get her hands on it, so she had to go out and ask her aunt next door to borrow something.
De Yulan stopped the girl in time, and said that it would be good to eat whatever she wanted, and that he had bought a lot of bread in Roentgen in the morning, or else he would make some mushroom and vegetable soup. In fact, he didn't have any special preference for mushroom soup, but he just happened to see it in the kitchen. In this way, the girl does not have to trouble, and she does not have to feel guilty for not being able to take anything.
Amelia prepares the mushroom and vegetable soup, Vernet tinkers around, and Dejuran and Valya sit by the stove.
"I remember when I was a kid I loved to eat mushrooms, and I wanted to eat mushrooms the size of the sky."
"When I was a child," said Valya...... I can't remember, it's been a long time ago. ”
Deyulan asked knowingly: "A few hundred years or a thousand years...... How old is Valya? ”
Valya's expression changed: "Don't you know that you can't ask the age of a girl?" ”
De Yulan said to himself: "I guess, two thousand years old? ”
"I don't know."
"Three thousand years old?"
"I don't know."
De Yulan said: "As long as it is beautiful, it is enough, and it does not matter if it is ten thousand years old." ”
"Shameless."
Amelia was next to her, and when she heard De Yulan say, she sneered, "I also think Mr. De Yulan is so shameless." ”
Picking up the dry branches and stuffing them into the stove, the branches "creaked", and De Yulan quipped: "Amelia, do you know?" I, ah, I can say that I am the most loyal person in the world...... Why? I, ah, I can swear that I will always like beautiful girls, whether it is now or in the future, even if I am too old to lose my teeth. ”
Valya laughed too.
Lunch was eaten with relish, and soon in the afternoon, it was time to get ready to start and take out the gnolls.
