Chapter 4: The First Job in Another World
Ning Wushuang and his party followed the carriage of the caravan and finally found the "key" that the soothsayer said - the Adventurers' Guild.
"Oh? I didn't expect it to be quite magnificent. When everyone saw the Adventurer's Guild, even Qian Zilai, who had always had a very high vision, was amazed.
At this time, a passer-by who had just passed by the four of them heard Qian Zilai's admiration and stopped and said to the four: "Of course! I don't know what the Adventurer's Guild looks like in other cities, but in Wardle City, the first thing that comes to mind when people want to solve their own difficult problems is the Adventurer's Guild. ”
The four of them then looked at the passer-by who was talking, only to find that the passer-by was an uncle wearing armor and a long sword with a palm-wide sword pinned to his waist.
Zou Haoyun said in surprise: "Huh? Is this an adventurer? ”
The uncle seemed very satisfied when he heard this, and proudly said to the four of them: "Haha, that's right, my name is Mu Lajiang, and I just received a bounty task and am about to complete it." Four of them are tourists, right? It is not uncommon for tourists to visit the Adventurers' Guild, so you can check it out, and there is a bar where you can eat and drink, as well as tables and chairs for eating. I'll go first. ”
After the uncle left with a small tune humming in his mouth, Zou Haoyun pulled Yu Feng and asked, "Hey, Hei Niu, do you think you can beat him?" ”
Yu Feng laughed and said, "I can't say." ”
Zou Haoyun pouted and said, "That person looks like a miscellaneous fish character, why don't you have any confidence at all?" ”
Yu Feng smiled again after hearing this, and then stopped paying attention to Zou Haoyun, but Ning Wushuang remembered what Yu Feng once said with unclear meaning and full of middle and second sense: Some people have the strength to think not of protection, but to fight, but sometimes, power only emerges when you want to protect something.
Zou Haoyun saw that Yu Feng ignored him and was about to say a few more words, but Ning Wushuang walked over and pushed him towards the gate of the Adventurer's Guild: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go in and have a look." ”
The four of them entered the adventurer's guild, but the internal atmosphere was not as solemn and serious as the four imagined, but more like entering the university cafeteria.
Rows of long tables and benches sat in groups of well-equipped adventurers, all talking and laughing, drinking and eating. On one side of the hall, there are several bulletin boards like blackboards, which are plastered with various bounty tasks, and according to the difficulty of the mission, there will be three different colors of adventurer's guild stamps: bronze, silver, and gold. Next to the bulletin board, there are several desks and people are working, adventurers can register directly there if they find a bounty task, and after completing the task, they can also go there directly to provide proof to get paid. On the other side of the hall is a long bar, where many adventurers are ordering, and the temptation for the penniless four is obviously great.
"Ah, it's noon, what should I do? I don't have money to eat," Zou Haoyun said as he looked at the three of them resentfully.
Ning Wushuang spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't look at me, the last piece of chocolate is for that little girl." ”
Zou Haoyun looked at Qian Zilai and said: "God of Wealth, it's been a morning, and I haven't seen you pick up money once, it can't be that your wealth is gone, right?" ”
Qian Zilai complained: "I didn't see you have good luck, on the contrary, I was beaten by a magician." ”
Zou Haoyun recalled the shameful scene and covered his face directly, Yu Feng patted Zou Haoyun on the shoulder and comforted everyone: "It's not a way to go on like this, why don't you see if there is any simple work on the bulletin board to earn a meal?" I still have a bit of strength. ”
Ning Wushuang and Qian Zilai nodded in agreement: "Well, that's the only way." ”
When the three of them were about to walk towards the bulletin board, Zou Haoyun pointed to the stairs at the end of the hall and said to the three of them in surprise: "Look there, it's the father and daughter who met at the city gate in the morning." Why don't you borrow money to eat in the past? ”
The three of them vetoed Zou Haoyun's idea without thinking about it: "Make other people's daughters cry in the morning, and find someone to borrow money at noon?" Who has you thick-skinned? ”
There was also an orc woman standing next to the man, who seemed to be the little girl's mother, but at this moment, the little girl's parents looked preoccupied, and their mouths kept muttering, "What to do, what to do", it is estimated that something bad has happened.
Ning Wushuang walked over with the three of them with the idea of simply saying hello.
The orc man also saw Ning Wushuang and the four of them, and took the lead in greeting the four: "Ah! What a coincidence, did the four adults come to entrust the adventurer to escort them back to their city? If so, you can go up to the second floor. ”
Ning Wushuang felt very embarrassed when he heard that the orc man was still calling one adult after another, and pulled the three people behind him to his side and said, "Really don't call us adults, the four of us are just ordinary people." My name is Ning Wushuang, and these three are Yu Feng, Qian Zilai, and Zou Haoyun. ”
Seeing that Ning Wushuang was so approachable, the orc man smiled with relief and said, "Okay, I didn't expect the four little brothers to be so approachable, and the four little brothers will be my friends in the future." My name is Bermanla, and this is my wife, Jean. After speaking, he picked up the little girl and swept away the sadness when she went down the stairs before, and said to the four of them with a smile: "My daughter's name is Ying." Then he said to the little girl dotingly: "Xiaoying, do you remember the four big brothers in the morning?" Say hello to your brothers. ”
The little girl still looked at the four of them timidly, especially when she saw Zou Haoyun, she almost wanted to hide, but she still whispered very obediently: "Hello brothers." Thank you, thank you, sweet..."
Seeing that the little girl wanted to say but couldn't say what was sweet, Ning Wushuang smiled and said to the little girl: "Chocolate, that's called chocolate." ”
This time, the little girl's expression relaxed a little, and she blushed and said, "Thank you, thank you for the chocolate, it's delicious..."
Seeing that the little girl still wanted to eat, Ning Wushuang was also very embarrassed and smiled and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, there's no more of that, but if you have the chance, my brother will bring you a lot!" ”
The little girl looked at Ning Wushuang expectantly and asked, "Really?" ”
Ning Wushuang nodded and said affirmatively, "Hmm! Deal! ”
The little girl finally smiled cutely and said, "Yes! Deal! ”
Everyone was warmed by this scene, Zou Haoyun looked at Ning Wushuang and said, "Ah, Shuang'er is so gentle." ”
Qian Zilai looked at Zou Haoyun with disdain and said, "You will do something to make a crying little girl." ”
Zou Haoyun said innocently: "I didn't mean to, anyone who sees a real orc for the first time will be surprised, right?" After saying that, he was about to go over to greet the little girl in person, but who knew that the little girl became vigilant when she saw him approaching, and hugged her father tightly and hid in her father's arms. Zou Haoyun had no choice but to return to Qian Zilai's side with a sad face. Qian Zilai did not forget to complain about "deserved".
Ning Wushuang shifted his gaze back to Bo Manla, and asked with concern, "Big Brother Bai Manla, since you are willing to be friends with us. I just saw you come downstairs with a sad face, and as a friend, I want to ask if something happened? If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do what we can. At this time, Ning Wushuang is not simply a good person, but Ning Wushuang understands in his heart that in this unfamiliar situation, building a good interpersonal relationship sometimes has unexpected gains.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's sit down and talk slowly." The group found a long table with no one and sat down.
According to Bermanla, their village, Dog, is now in crisis. The village of Doge is a canine village in the forest of "Frese", not far from the city of Wardel, and there are about 80 people in the village. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and the remaining villagers make a living from farming, and most of the time the food they grow is barely enough for the villagers to consume. Occasionally, when there is a good harvest, the extra will be bought by the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for coins, and then purchased the necessities of other villagers from Wardel City. In addition, there are two villages in the Frese Forest, the leopard village "Nepoon" and the werewolf village "Worf", the leopard village and the werewolf village mainly rely on hunting for a living, so the competition for hunting territory is a common thing, but the village of Duoge, which was originally at peace with these two villages, has recently become the territory of these two villages. For the Leopard Village and the Werewolf Village, whoever captures the Dog Man Village first will be one step closer to occupying the entire Frese Forest. However, both sides did not dare to make a rash move, because they were afraid that when they captured Inuren Village, their backs would be attacked by the other party, causing their own people to suffer from the enemy. But the villagers of Inuren Village now live in fear every day, because they may be attacked at any time.
"Alas~" Bo Manla sighed and continued: "This time I entered the city, I wanted to entrust about 10 bronze adventurers to help guard the village, if they failed to capture the village, they would definitely have to recuperate for a while, survive their attack first and then think about the rest of the matter." But a little bit of the cost that I need... Alas. ”
Qian Zilai was particularly concerned when he heard the question about money, frowned and asked, "Do you need a lot?" How much? ”
Bowmanla shook her head and said, "10 Bronze Adventurers will need 5,000 Bucks per day to help defend the village, and they will also pay 500 Buckles per day for the Adventurer's Guild. For 5,500 Lutcoin a day, the food consumed by our entire village for a month is sold to the Chamber of Commerce to make up a day's money. And when the werewolf village and the leopard village attacked our village, there is no accurate time at all. The village is full of old people and children, and there are only about 10 young and powerful ones, and we can't resist the werewolves and leopard elites who are too numerous to resist. ”
Ning Wushuang also frowned after hearing about this life-and-death situation, and asked with concern, "Is there no other solution?" ”
Bomanla looked at his wife and children and said unwillingly: "I really can't do it, I can only leave the Frese Forest with my family to live somewhere else, after all, the life of my family is the most important thing." ”
Xiao Ying cried when she heard this, and said while wiping her tears: "I don't want to leave Duoge Village, I don't want to see Grandpa Jones and many good friends. ”
Mr. and Mrs. Bermanla were distressed to see their daughter crying so sadly, but there was nothing they could do at the moment.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zou Haoyun suddenly "snapped" and stood up with both hands on the table, and everyone's attention was instantly attracted by him.
Zou Haoyun coughed twice, cleared his throat, looked at Xiao Ying with a smile and said, "Brothers won't let you leave Duoge Village, the four of us will definitely help you teach those bad guys who want to rob your home a lesson!" ”
Ning Wushuang and the three of them were shocked when they heard Zou Haoyun boasting about Haikou, and Bai Manla and his wife obviously only thought that Zou Haoyun was just coaxing Xiao Ying and didn't care.
Xiao Ying stopped her tears after hearing this, but she didn't know whether it was out of wariness of Zou Haoyun or her good impression of Ning Wushuang, Xiao Ying looked at Ning Wushuang with expectant eyes and asked, "Really?" Brother. Zou Haoyun saw that he still hadn't won Xiao Ying's heart, so he covered his face and sat back.
Ning Wushuang looked at Xiao Ying's expectant eyes that had just finished crying pear blossoms and brought rain, Ning Wushuang couldn't bear to refuse, but he didn't want to be even more disappointed if he couldn't do it then, not to mention that this was a matter for the four people in the dormitory, and he was not suitable to call the shots. Mr. and Mrs. Bomanla obviously knew that Ning Wushuang was very embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ying: "Xiao Ying is obedient, brothers also have a lot of important things to do, Mom and Dad promised you that you won't be separated from your good friends, okay?" ”
Xiao Ying's expectant little eyes slowly became aggrieved again, and said, "But..."
At this time, Yu Feng leaned over, put his arm on Ning Wushuang's shoulder, and said to Xiao Ying with a hearty smile: "That's right, it's on us!" ”
Just when Ning Wushuang was stunned by Yu Feng's confidence, Yu Feng whispered in Ning Wushuang's ear: "The soothsayer said in the morning, she has seen a lot of fragments of events, which proves that she will not be able to die for a while, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
Qian Zilai on the other side also leaned over and said, "Yes, there is something that the four of us can figure out how to solve together." There is still Yu Feng in front of the fight. ”
Yu Feng smiled awkwardly and continued, "Okay, I'll take the lead." ”
After hearing this, Ning Wushuang was also relieved, and said with a smile: "You three immortals have no opinion, then I must be OK." The other three laughed as well.
Ning Wushuang also said to Xiao Ying confidently: "It's wrapped up in my brothers!" ”
Xiao Ying finally showed a cute smile when she heard Ning Wushuang promise herself, and took Bai Manla's hand and coquettishly said, "Brother promised to help us!" My brother promised to help us! ”
Fearing that Ning Wushuang and the four of them would feel embarrassed, the Bomanla couple asked, "Really?" This is a very dangerous thing, and we don't want to affect you, little brother. ”
Ning Wushuang solemnly said to the Bomanla couple: "We don't dare to say that we can repel the werewolf clan or the leopard clan, but there must be something we can help with." ”
Ning Wushuang paused and continued: "In case, if we can't defend the village, at least the four of us will protect Xiao Ying." ”
Hearing this, Bai Manla looked at Xiao Ying and thought that if Xiao Ying really had an accident, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself, and finally held Ning Wushuang's hand tremblingly and said, "Then it's troublesome for the four, thank you very much!" ”
Ning Wushuang saw that Bo Manla was so excited, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, the four of us are penniless now, and we don't even have a place to stay, so we can go back and live with you for a while, and then make plans when we contact our Chamber of Commerce." ”
Bo Manla laughed and said, "Don't worry, little brother, there will be no problem with food and accommodation." ”
As soon as Bo Manla finished speaking, suddenly a "grunt~" came out, and everyone looked at Zou Haoyun, who was red-faced.
Zou Haoyun covered his face and said embarrassedly: "I'm really hungry." It made a table laugh.
Bo Manla also enthusiastically said that from now on, he will pack food and accommodation for four people, and lunch will be settled at the inexpensive adventurer's guild.
"Wow, why does this broth taste so good, the meat is so smooth, what kind of meat is this?"
"This rice is so full and tasteful, even compared to the high-end rice cooked at home, it is not inferior in any way!"
"Hahaha, delicious."
"Xiao Yinglai and her brother eat more than anyone!"
"Well, good!"
"Hahaha, little buddies, eat more."
Just as everyone was enjoying the happy time of lunch, a figure approached timidly.
