Chapter 30: The Formation of the Squad
The old thief's grey eyes cast a tenacious and no longer lost sight, and the other side of this gaze touched the young man's eyes straight up, so that after a few seconds of staring at him, the young man could see that he did not look like he was running to him for the sake of so-called face.
So it is just right.
Urs had not forgotten the promise he had made to Glorydon at the Flaming Ale Tavern, and although it was a vague promise at the time, he had no intention of breaking it.
Because sooner or later, the shadow dragon in the ruins of Russ Canyon will also be one of the prey in his plan.
But the time wasn't now, but in the not-too-distant future, if everything he had envisioned in Twilight went smoothly.
"Urs, has anyone come looking for you again?" Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor of the house, and Xia, who had come back to her senses standing in the study, then quickly walked to the living room of the cottage and appeared behind the young man.
Grolayden's eyes widened in curiosity, and he probed into the room and asked, "Yo, who is this beast lady?" ”
"Half, half-beast." The moment she saw the old thief, the wolf ears on the top of the girl's head trembled slightly, and then she quickly emphasized her race, "May I ask who you are?" ”
It was the first time that the priest girl and the old thief had met, and Urs then arranged for Glorydon to come into the house and talk.
Although the curse of the abandoned empty house had been lifted by the young man and the girl, the dilapidated cottage had not yet been renovated, and the old thief could not help but complain about the dilapidated state of the cottage after entering the house, and then followed Urs and Thea to the old study that had been cleaned beforehand.
Bringing a few chairs to sit around the moldy wooden table in the study, Urs introduced Thea to Gloriden, so that the wolf-eared priest girl and the old thief met and got to know each other, and then prepared to discuss business.
He was the first to ask, "Then let's see what you've been thinking about the past two days, Gloridon." Ugly things to say, if you're coming to me for just a few stinking drinks, I'll not hesitate to kick you out of here. ”
"Hmph, it's not a small tone." The old thief rested one arm on the table, "But I agree with you, because if it were me, I wouldn't need a stiff drunkard to join my team." That kind of guy can't be called a companion, just a burden to life. ”
As the words fell, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his wistful brows indicating that he seemed to be remembering something.
Then, the old man organized his language and briefly explained to the two of them: "In the past two days, I have inquired about you in the city, and that little girl from Irina told me that you have completed a three-star mission called the Snake Fang, and the recent rumors in the slums have spread widely, and the flamboyant poets in the tavern have said that some mysterious adventurer, secretly hired by the lord of the city, has driven away the evil spirits in this room through an incomparably wonderful battle. ”
"Mysterious...... Great adventurer? Listening to Gloriden's description, Xia blinked her eyes and was a little confused, and couldn't help but interject for a while.
The old thief paused, glanced at her sideways, rolled his eyes, and then smiled crookedly and raised an eyebrow at the girl: "No, no, no, little girl, don't take a creature like a bard too seriously, after all, what comes out of the mouth of those guys is just bragging." ”
"Huh? Is that the case? Thea's mouth grew in surprise.
"That's right." The old thief snapped his fingers and continued to ramble, "Not only that, but many qualified poets are also eager to pursue a romantic encounter, and a girl like you who is simple in heart and beautiful in appearance is often the lover of their dreams...... Or rather, hehe, the object of the hunt. ”
"Uh...... But I'm not going to go with any of them, and please don't compliment me like that. The girl shrunk her neck, her amber eyes revealed rejection and disgust for this kind of people, and her uncompetitive face showed faint signs of redness.
She doesn't have any scheming, she's too easy to be shy.
Fortunately, Urs on the side finally couldn't stand it at this time.
Bang.
"Alright, Gloridon, don't tease Thea." So the young man frowned slightly and patted the table, "Talk about the point." ”
"Do it, do it, talk about the key points, talk about the key points."
His gaze swept over the faces of the young girl and the young man in turn, and Gloleiden immediately realized something, and then he put away the evil smile on his face, and in the blink of an eye, he changed back to his previous serious appearance, and continued:
"All in all, I don't know what happened to this little house and you, but I can find out your strength through these two things. You're not third-rate adventurers, you're very strong, and you know a lot of things, and it's worth my gamble, even though there are only three of you in this team at the moment. ”
With that, the old man tapped his fingers twice on the table, waiting for Urs's response after hearing these words.
There was no reason for Urs to refuse the old thief's joining.
He looked at Gloledon and clapped his palms with a smile two seconds later: "The investigation is well done. ”
"So I've passed your review, young team leader."
"Of course. Welcome to my team, old man. ”
As he spoke, he raised his arm and stretched out his right fist towards the brown-haired old man.
Seeing this, Gloledon didn't think much about it, and then clenched his fist and raised it to hit the air in front of him.
This is a simple etiquette between adventurers, representing the recognition of each other by both sides of the boxing.
"But then again, Team Leader." After the punch, Gloledon did not forget to remind Urs, "Although you promised me in the tavern of Flame Me, I would not advise our understaffed team to run to the death of Ras Canyon so soon. ”
"That's what I thought too." Urs nodded in acknowledgement, "So we need to build up our strength to be stronger – not just for each of us, but for us as a team." ”
"So, I'm a part-time thief trained as a warrior, and I'm good at all the skills of a thief, with melee skills in the use of a short sword and dagger, a crossbow shot and eyesight, a wealth of combat experience, and a limited ability to spot low-to-mid ring spells." The solemnity on the old man's face then dissipated, turning into two points of determination in Hitomi, "Tell me your plan, or a short-term feasible goal, and this old bone in front of you will do its best to assist you before he is buried in the ground." ”
"My short-term goal is to lead my team to rise quickly in the twilight city." Faced with the old thief's determination, the young man immediately explained his ambition without concealment, "In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Groeldon, we need to use your Adventurer Badge next, if you haven't lost it yet." ”
