Chapter 5: Adventurers in the Logging Village
Wild animals roamed the woods around the village, and the wooded forest environment was the first choice for robbers, and some profit-hungry merchants sometimes chose to travel directly through the forest, as young people do now, in order to quickly travel between the lower Bernux and the East Gorantia Plain, thus saving the time and extra expense required for long detours.
This may be the reason why there is such an adventurers' association in the logging village.
Finn pushed open the door of the association and led the girls behind him inside. The layout of the lobby in the Adventurers' Guild house was not much different from that of the young people - a front desk similar to that of a tavern bar, several bulletin boards with to-do lists, about twenty small wooden tables for adventurers to sit together and discuss plans, a staircase leading to the second floor of the Guild, and more than that, there seemed to be another underground space under the hall on the first floor, and the less because the hall of this guild was significantly smaller than the one in Auroraforia.
The young paladin took the lead in the hall, and the people in the guild subconsciously raised their eyes to look in the direction of the doorway, and then turned their attention back, buried their heads and whispered messages to their companions, as if they had come to this remote country to find some legendary treasure, afraid that too much movement would leak the news of the treasure map in their hands.
Most of these men were dressed in the style of the west coast of St. Flen's Sea, and a few with high noses looked like Imperial people. The people here are presumably mostly adventurers, and there may be some travelers, merchants, mercenaries and even bounty hunters.
All kinds of people sat or stood in the hall of the association, which was limited in size, making the space of the hall seem a little cramped for a while, and the atmosphere was full of an indescribable incongruity.
"There's a lot of people here." Lilith walked out from behind Finn and looked into the hall, and immediately found that the crowd in the hall was crowded in their own small circles, and the room of the association was noisy for a while, and all kinds of noises were mixed together a little noisy.
The Warlock Maiden's voice only sighed subconsciously, but Arya's mind was always more meticulous than that of people of the same age, and the blonde elf lady turned her head to look in the same direction as Lilith, and then whispered a speculation: "There are indeed more people than expected...... It's the countryside, and these people are supposed to be from outside. ”
"Why don't we ask the person in charge?" Camussa was the last to walk in and walk into the hall from outside the door, standing in the doorway with her hands folded, and suggested with a leisurely expression.
The young paladin and the witcher elf girl glanced back at her at the same time, and Finn felt that Camusha's proposal was the simplest and most effective, so after thinking about it, he raised his hand and pointed at a middle-aged man standing behind the front desk in the hall, and then moved his gaze to the warlock girl beside him and said with a smile, "Go and ask the uncle." ”
"Me?" Lilith looked up at Finn.
Her expression was as calm as usual, but there seemed to be some surprise in her eyes, as if to ask: Can I do it?
Fein lowered his head slightly and looked at her at each other, thinking that this girl who lacked common sense had to exercise her interpersonal skills, so her brown eyes were full of gentleness and patience, as if to encourage her to say: Be confident, you can do it.
The black-haired warlock girl hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked in the direction of the front desk of the hall.
After about a minute......
"Asked." She walked back from the front desk.
"What did the person in charge say?" The elf girl came up from the side and asked.
"The person in charge said nothing." Lilith looked at Finn and Arya and whispered, "He told me to be careful and ignore those people. ”
Finn and Arya immediately turned their heads to look at each other.
Obviously, the person in charge standing behind the front desk not only told Lilith the truth, but probably regarded Lilith as a little girl who didn't understand the world.
After all, the warlock girl is very thin, and her language when communicating with people is relatively clumsy, and she is only more than one hundred and fifty centimeters tall, which is considered to be on the short side among the girls on the coast of St. Fren's Sea, and it is possible that a middle-aged person who has passed a certain age may look at her as if she were looking at her friend's daughter.
Finn looked at Lilith and thought about it for a while, and finally decided to say hello himself.
Just as he thought about it, Arya's emerald green eyes blinked, and then he took out a small badge from her clothes and handed it to Lilith, stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder gently, and said with an encouraging smile on her face: "Try it again, you will definitely be able to do it." ”
The warlock girl and the young paladin looked at her at the same time, stunned.
The next second, Lilith tilted her head while holding the small badge that Arya had placed in her palm, and then trotted over to the front desk of the association.
"What did you give her?" After seeing Lilith run to the front desk, Finn suddenly turned his head curiously and asked.
"A silver-level adventurer's badge." The elven girl shrugged her shoulders and looked like she took it for granted.
As if remembering something, the eyes and eyebrows on the left side of the paladin youth's left cheek slashed.
After Arya mentioned this, he realized that there was indeed such a thing.
He hadn't used the rank badge issued by the Adventurer's Guild for a while, and he and Lilith also had a bronze-level adventurer badge each, but after experiencing a series of events between Azur Harbor and Hurenger, he didn't expect this stubble, and he forgot about it over time.
About a minute later......
"Asked." She walked back from the front desk for the second time.
Arya glanced at her eyes triumphantly, the corners of her mouth curling slightly at Finn.
Then, she looked at the warlock girl expectantly and asked, "What did the person in charge say this time?" ”
"Holy Avenger." Lilith replied.
"What?" The expectant face was stunned.
"Those people seem to have come for the Holy Avengers." Thinking that the elf girl in front of her didn't hear clearly, Lilith changed her sentence and repeated the word she had just mentioned, but she didn't actually know what the uncle in charge told her was.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted in a corner of the association's hall.
A group of people scattered from that place, and another crowd of onlookers then moved up curiously. The young men turned their heads in the direction from which the movement came, and then they heard a half-childish voice shouting as if stimulated: "No joke! How could such an injury be cured with a knife? Do you want to kill me?! ”
