Chapter Forty-Eight: We Won't Take on This Task
"This is Alice and John's guild?"
Rowan stood outside the guild for a while, estimating that the plaque of the guild was indeed engraved with the words "Son of the Farm", so he resolutely walked in.
It was two or three o'clock in the morning, but the atmosphere in the guild was still as lively as during the day, and the adventurers gathered around the various round tables in twos and threes, some chatting and fart, and some gulping wine, all looking very excited.
In the center of the guild hall was a huge monster corpse that was three people tall!
"Is this a late-night hunt?"
Rowan stopped in front of the lobby and took a closer look at his surroundings.
The adventure guild has three floors, a cylindrical building, with a lobby in the center and a circular dormitory around it, with more than ten rooms on each floor, and a circular corridor on the second and third floors.
In addition to the adventurers in the lobby, there were also several adventurers looking down against the railing in the corridor upstairs.
In the lobby, there is an obvious counter, and on either side of the counter are two huge task boards, on which all kinds of task orders are pasted, and if someone wants to take the task, they will tear off the copy of the task order and take it away.
Rowan was entering the Adventure Guild for the first time, so seeing everything was new, but he knew that now was not the time to express his curiosity, so his eyes quickly fell on the man behind the counter.
That's the handsome young red-haired Blake!
Blake, the president of the Farm's Sons, sat behind the counter, seemingly on business, exuding an atmosphere that was out of place with his surroundings, quite serious.
"That's him!"
Rowan didn't hesitate and walked straight to him.
But he had barely taken a few steps when he was stopped by a lanky man.
This male adventurer has dark skin, snow-white teeth, very slender hands and feet, and the whole person is like a bamboo pole, and his nickname in the guild is very easy to understand "Skinny Monkey".
The thin monkey was originally boasting about his achievements, but when he found Luo Wen, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the owner of that tavern?" How did you come...... Wait, let me think, you're here for Alice, right? ”
"Eh, in the middle of the night, come to Alice?" Before Rowan could respond, a female adventurer with curly orange hair couldn't help but pick up the conversation, "Hahaha, I knew that the president put Miss Alice in that tavern to send sheep to the tiger's mouth!" No, it's only been a few days since it developed into a late-night relationship! ”
"Yo, President?" The skinny monkey turned to face the counter and shouted, "I'll ask you if you regret it!" ”
The adventurers of these guilds have all eaten at the Flame Girl Tavern, and Rowan may not recognize them, but they all remember Rowan as the little boss.
Maybe they were too excited, or maybe they really drank too much, and many adventurers invariably coaxed: "Don't you regret it?" No regrets after that! ”
"Regret a dick!"
Rowan covered his head suddenly, it turned out that these adventurers all thought so......
He brushed away the thin monkey's hand on the spot and continued to walk towards the counter: "Don't make trouble, I have something to do with your president." ”
The skinny monkey raised his voice again: "What? Turns out your goal is to be president! Isn't Miss Alice's situation even more dangerous? ”
"Hahaha!" The guild burst into laughter.
These adventurers don't shy away from boaxing each other, laughing like children regardless of their age.
This may not be the ethos that every adventurer has, but it is Rowan's favorite.
But again, now is not the time to immerse yourself in it!
But this big-breasted sister who is only wearing a little cute, can you not stick her body over? The smell of wine is really strong!
And you, Lao Tzu is really not gay!
Rowan desperately pushed aside a female adventurer who was inexplicably hugged and a big-bellied fat man who was gay, and finally broke into the front of the counter.
"Say, what's the matter? It's not going to be late, is it? Blake asked very calmly, but finally added an inappropriate sentence, "Could it be Alice who is in trouble?" ”
"Alice did a great job." Rowan shook his head in denial, "Your guild members are so enthusiastic! I'm here to delegate the task. ”
"Well, have a task to delegate?" Blake reached out to the other man sitting next to him, "That's looking for him." Tell him about your mission times and requirements. ”
The man was slightly older than Blake, but not yet thirty, and he had very flowing black hair, sharp eyebrows, thin eyes, and very thin lips, and was the kind of man who looked very dangerous at first glance.
His nickname in the guild is "Jack the Gunslinger", but Jack is not his name, he is an East Asian.
"It's not that much trouble." Rowan didn't look at him, "I found a very terrifying monster in the alley of East Street, that monster can hide its sound and suck blood, and three people have been killed just what I saw." I want you to be there right away. ”
Blake shook his head and said, "Immediately? You're asking for a bit too much. ”
To be honest, he was very surprised that there were monsters in the town, but as the guild leader, he was first and foremost responsible to the guild members.
"It's a bit too much." Jack, the fast gunner beside him, immediately chimed in, "I believe what you say, but our guild has just returned from a mission, and you see that raging bull, it is one of our trophies." Because of the mission, many members of the guild are still in a state of physical exhaustion, so we can't let them go out immediately. You must know that hunting monsters is a very dangerous task, especially a terrifying monster like you said, which can hide its sound!"
Rowan was sure he hadn't seen Jack the Gunslinger at the tavern party, but he had to admit that he was right.
Still, he was unwilling to compromise: "I can probably understand what you mean, but that monster is likely still hovering around my tavern, and many people will be in danger if they don't get rid of it sooner." ”
Blake suddenly frowned, "Wait, you mean that the monster is hiding near your tavern?" ”
Rowan sighed: "Let's put it this way. When I found it, it happened to be preying right at the back door of my tavern. The monster had no flesh and blood, only eyes, tongue, blood vessels, and a heart, and it pierced the human body through its tongue, sucking blood, and using a mysterious black mist to eliminate sounds, smells, and shape. It is silent, does not destroy buildings, does not kill people indiscriminately, and should have a certain amount of wisdom. If I let it continue, I'll have to close my doors. Otherwise, my staff will be in danger. ”
Blake looked at him and suddenly said, "Rowan, you are such a cunning businessman. However, we will not take this task yet. ”
Rowan smiled helplessly: "And then?" ”
Blake stood up suddenly and clapped his hands heavily: "Brothers, be sober, we're going to work!" ”
