Chapter 5: Cheap "Priests"

"That's... You, you, hello. Sorry, excuse me! ”

Although the happy dining time of Ning Wushuang and his party was interrupted, everyone didn't mind too much, and when they looked at the person who spoke, they found that it was actually a beautiful blonde girl dressed like a nun, and she was still holding a book like a Bible on her chest.

"Beautiful girl!" Zou Haoyun shouted out excitedly, the blonde girl's already lowered head was buried lower, and Yu Feng and Qian Zilai held Zou Haoyun like they saw Xiao Ying for the first time in the morning.

Ning Wushuang saw Bai Manla's same puzzled expression, and was sure that Bai Manla and the others didn't know the blonde beautiful girl in front of him, so he politely asked, "Is there anything wrong with this young lady?" ”

The blonde girl lowered her head and hugged the book tightly, like a little girl who had done something wrong, as nervous as a little girl standing at the teacher's desk, blushing and holding back for a long time unable to say a complete sentence, she said to Ning Wushuang hesitantly: "Please, excuse me..."

Zou Haoyun broke free of Yu Feng and Qian Zilai, pulled Ning Wushuang's arm, and whispered in Ning Wushuang's ear: "It's amazing! Disastrous! This rhythm is not meant to confess to you, is it? ”

Ning Wushuang's face turned red when he heard Zou Haoyun's ridicule, and when he looked at the face of the girl who was still trying to hold back a complete sentence, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Although it is impossible for such a good thing to happen, if it really happens, this trip to another world seems to be quite good.

Ning Wushuang shook his head to shake these thoughts away, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and said to the girl: "Miss, don't be so restrained, if you have any questions, you can say it directly, we don't mind." ”

After listening to Ning Wushuang's words, the girl's hand that was holding the book tightly relaxed a little, and her lowered head slowly raised a little, and her big eyes with light blue pupils blinked secretly at Ning Wushuang's eyes. Ning Wushuang finally saw the girl's appearance clearly, her fair skin, delicate facial features, especially the pitiful eyes, Ning Wushuang was shocked in her heart: My mother, isn't this a beautiful girl who only has two dimensions?

The girl took a deep breath and said slowly, "Excuse me, do you need priests for your team?" ”

Bo Manla on the side heard the priest and immediately explained to Ning Wushuang: "Little brother Wushuang, priest is one of the professions of the adventurer, and I heard that the number is rare and sought-after, because it is necessary to believe in the priesthood of the goddess of life to learn the skills related to priesthood, but it is not clear what skills there are, I am just hearsay." ”

After listening to this, Ning Wushuang asked the girl suspiciously: "I'm sorry, the four of us are actually not adventurers, we just happened to want to help our friends, but I still want to ask why you came to ask us?" ”

Zou Haoyun also tried to brush the wave of existence, stood up and asked the girl: "That's it, there is no shortage of teams for rare professions, don't you think it's too strange to find the four of us who don't even have equipment?" ”

The girl was shocked when she heard Ning Wushuang say that the four of them were not adventurers: "Huh? Is that so? I heard the orc uncle say that you were an adventurer who accepted the commission of the orc uncle, and when I saw that the four of you were not equipped..."

The girl didn't continue halfway through speaking, and Ning Wushuang wondered, "What's it?" ”

The girl blushed, and suddenly bent down and said loudly, "I'm very sorry! I thought you were going to accept the commission very simply, but you were able to eat and have a place to live, so, so..."

Before Ning Wushuang could react, Zou Haoyun sat back in a sudden realization, and said while sitting: "Oh~ It turns out that we just think we are a garbage team, and we have taken a good job and want to get a piece of the pie." ”

But Qian Zilai next to him was not happy with what Zou Haoyun said, and said: "Miss, don't mind, this person's mouth is so poisonous." According to Uncle Bermanla, the priests should be able to find a good team and get better pay, so why would they want to come to us for food and shelter? Could it be that there is something unspeakable? ”

"Hey, you're talking to her like that? Blonde hair, oh! I understand! This can't be your sister from another world! Well... I... Mmmm..."Before Zou Haoyun finished speaking, Yu Feng saw that the girl was about to cry aggrievedly, and immediately covered Zou Haoyun's chattering mouth.

Ning Wushuang agreed after listening to Qian Zilai's words, and hurriedly said to the girl: "It's okay, Miss doesn't need to apologize." But the four of us really weren't adventurers. Although I agreed to help Uncle Bomanla, I am afraid it is not appropriate to add members to add more members to increase the pressure of Uncle Bomanla. ”

After listening to this, the girl explained: "Actually, it has been a long time since I found a team to complete the bounty task last time, and the rewards I received have been used up, and the team I joined is not willing to team up with me again after forming a team with me once, let alone forming a fixed team like a high-level adventurer." ”

It's not that Ning Wushuang doesn't want to help the girl, it's just that this trip to Duoge Village is not a simple task as the girl thinks, and Ning Wushuang doesn't want to see the weak girl in front of her in trouble.

However, Yu Feng, who had not spoken on the side, interrupted Ning Wushuang, who was about to refuse, and proposed to the orc uncle Bo Manla: "Uncle, the current crisis in the village is short of manpower, why don't you let this priest tell me what he is capable of first, if he can help, this is cheap labor!" ”

Although Yu Feng described the girl as a cheap laborer, everyone understood that Yu Feng actually wanted to help the girl and didn't want the girl to feel that she was pitying her.

After listening to Yu Feng's words, Bai Manla thought for a while and said, "Well, I'm happy to help her, at least it's okay to let her come to lunch with you now, but this time the village is in crisis... I don't want to see any accidents happen to her. ”

"I'm sorry..."The girl thought she had caused trouble to the orc uncle, and was about to apologize and leave.

But Bermanla interrupted the girl and continued, "But why don't you sit down and have lunch together?" Eating and chatting? I'll also explain this task to Miss, and it would be nice if Miss could help. ”

When the girl heard what Palmara's words were, she bent down again and said to the crowd, "Thank you very much! ”

So he went to the bar and added two more dishes and a new pair of chopsticks, and the maiden was the first to explain to everyone what she was capable of and the reasons for her present predicament.

It turned out that the girl's name was Sophia.

Sophia's hometown is a small village in the vicinity of West Delhi, far from Wardel, where she was originally a priest in the temple of the goddess. But one night in a dream, the goddess of life inspired her to become an adventurer and a priest. Because it was the instructions of the goddess, the pious Sophia began her career as an adventurer despite the dissuasion of everyone. But when Sophia met another priest, Sophia was confused. Sophia only has the magic of "slow healing", while the other priests not only have the "quick healing" magic, but also master a variety of enhanced buffs such as the "Holy Light Shield" to protect her teammates from magical damage. However, Sophia still did not choose to give up, and every time a teammate was injured, she would spare no effort to treat her teammate. Although there are many kind teammates who have accepted Sophia, it is difficult for the team to complete some difficult bounties by only treating teammates. Some of the more difficult tasks don't require Sophia's "slow healing" at all, and even if she is injured, others prefer to use healing potions rather than a portion of the bounty. Sophia then decided to work hard to earn more money, learn more "priestly" magic, and fulfill the goddess's instructions to her. But now even food and shelter have become a problem, and the girl lowered her head after speaking, not wanting everyone to see herself who was weak and incompetent and couldn't stop crying.

On the one hand, there is faith, and on the other hand, the reality of the situation, after Sophia explained to everyone, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the pious and hard-working "priest" girl in front of them.

"It's really remarkable to be able to persist in so many unfortunate things."

Ning Wushuang, Yu Feng, and Qian Zilai heard Zou Haoyun's casual words, and at the same time looked at Zou Haoyun with an expression of "You can finally speak human words".

Zou Haoyun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Ah, it's better than a girl from the Red Devil Clan who can only use burst magic once a day,... Probably. ”

Although Sophia didn't understand the meaning of Zou Haoyun's second sentence, the affirmation of her in the first sentence made her feel very warm, and she wiped away her tears and said to Zou Haoyun: "Thank you." ”

Ning Wushuang looked at Bai Manla, after all, it was up to Bai Manla to decide whether to let the girl go to Duoge Village together, but Bai Manla was thinking at this time, so everyone didn't bother.

After thinking for a moment, Bermanra finally opened his mouth to explain to Sophia the current crisis in the village.

What Bai Manla said to Sophia was roughly the same as what Xiang Ning Wushuang and the others said, but added some information. It turned out that the werewolf village had already sent a dozen werewolves on a small scale a few days ago to try to attack their village. At that time, except for the children in the village, who were taken to the big barn for protection, the rest of the people took up the tools of ploughing and desperately defended the village. Although the werewolves who eventually attempted to attack were expelled by the villagers, several young villagers who rushed ahead were injured to varying degrees. One of the seriously injured villagers proposed to bring the money into the city for medical treatment, but he insisted that everyone leave the money and go to the adventurer's guild to ask the adventurer for help, but the current situation simply can't afford to ask the adventurer to help.

"That villager is a very good friend of mine, and he wants to save money to hire adventurers to help him, even if his life is in danger, but he still can't afford to pay the expensive reward." The more he spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, his fists clenched tightly and he couldn't let go.

Sophia suddenly stood up and said to Bermanla, "Please let me go with you!" It's best to go now, and the injuries of the injured should not be delayed! ”

When she heard that someone was injured and that she was seriously injured, Sophia could no longer care about other conditions, and her kind nature made Sophia want to set off with Bermanra immediately.

Bomanla was also very moved, and motioned for Sophia to sit down first, and then said to her: "I have visited him before I came here in the morning, and the village medicine man has given him medicine, and he is now in a somewhat stable condition, but I am afraid that his injuries will not heal for a while." Miss Priestess, werewolves and leopard people could attack our village at any time, if you were going to go with us, your life was in danger at any time, would you really want to go with us? ”

Sophia was obliged to say, "There are injured villagers in the village who have not been well treated, and the priests as goddesses certainly cannot sit idly by. ”

"Miss Sophia is so kind."

"Little angel."

"How much money would you like to come to my house as a full-time family doctor."

"Hmm, hahaha."

Ning Wushuang and the four of them saw Sophia's serious appearance and expressed their opinions separately, and Sophia's face instantly turned red as if she was about to heat when she heard everyone's praise.

Once again, Bermanla was touched by Sophia's kindness and thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Priestess. ”

Sophia smiled brightly and said to Uncle Bomanla, "Just call me Sophia." ”

"Haha, okay, Sophia."

Being able to help others with her abilities is also one of the reasons why Sophia has always insisted on becoming an adventurer. Being able to help others and see their smiles is also a precious reward for Sophia.

Next, Ning Wushuang and the others also briefly introduced themselves, of course, they did not tell them that they were people from another world and the superpowers of the three "immortals".

——

After lunch, everyone was about to rest for a while and went to Duoge Village, but a person familiar to Ning Wushuang and the four of them came in at the door.

"Ah, the four little brothers just finished lunch? I just came back from completing a bounty mission. ”

It turned out to be the heavily armed adventurer uncle he met in front of the Adventurers' Guild in the morning, but now he took off his armor and carried the armor on his shoulders like a flat shoulder, and his rolled trousers were stained with mud.

The four of them asked him curiously what task he had received, and after putting down his armor and sword, he said: "There is an old man in a small village outside the city who is sick and in bed, and he is alone and has no family to help take care of the farmland, so he entrusts someone else to come to the guild to reward the adventurer for help. But the work is tiring and the pay is low, where is anyone willing to go? ”

"Then why did you go?" Ning Wushuang wondered.

The uncle smiled and said, "When the old man is well and the crops are lost, his life will not be easy." ”

Zou Haoyun said disapprehantly: "In the final analysis, it's just a farming task, and it's still fully armed." ”

Ning Wushuang and the three of them were about to "educate" him when they heard his words, but they didn't expect the uncle to laugh and say, "Little brother, don't underestimate any task!" Adventurers must take every mission seriously, as they can be sacrificed at any time. ”

After speaking, the uncle picked up his armor and sword and got up and prepared to go to the desk next to the bulletin board to settle the bill, and happened to see a person who came down from the second floor with a small pile of suspected bounty announcements in his hand, so the uncle walked over with a warm smile and chatted with him, and when chatting, he also pointed to the table of Ning Wushuang and others. Chatting and chatting, the uncle frowned, and when he turned to look at the table of Ning Wushuang and the others, Ning Wushuang and the others had already left.

Ning Wushuang and the others left the Adventurer's Guild and set off for Duoge Village.

On the way, Zou Haoyun asked the other three people in the dormitory with great interest: "That person seems to have said his name in the morning, right?" ”

Ning Wushuang replied: "Yes, I said it, but I don't remember what it was called." ”

Then Zou Haoyun said: "It's the same, even if this kind of miscellaneous fish character is put in the novel, I'm afraid that even the reader won't remember it after one or two chapters, right?" ”

Ning Wushuang and the three of them realized that he was holding a grudge after being educated by that uncle, and the united front condemned Zou Haoyun with righteous words: "Stupid X." ”
