Chapter 10: Wolf's Tooth Stronghold

【Soul Eater Wolf Killed by You】

[EXP +150]

Two system prompts appear from below the field of vision, and Fein confirms that the Soul Eater has been killed by himself.

"Whew...... Finally, it's done. Finn looked at the corpse of the Soul Eater Wolf, let out a long breath, and then walked over to the corpse of the Soul Eater, drew his silver sword, and searched the corpse.

The results of the search were as Fein expected, and thanks to his corpse-touching black hand, nothing else was dropped except for one that must come out.

"Hey, if only Lilith were here at this time." Finn stared at the soul crystal stone in his hand with a melancholy expression, sighed helplessly, and then turned to look at a bush of grass five or six meters away in the direction of his left hand.

"Hey, don't hide, I found you." Finn looked at the grass and said, "Come out, as long as you don't attack me, I won't hurt you." ”

As he spoke, he put the silver sword in its scabbard, hung the bow back on his back, and spread his hands to show that he had disarmed.

Two seconds later, the robber who had been left behind by Fein pushed aside the grass, hesitated, and then cautiously stepped out from behind the grass.

By looking at the robber's face from a distance, Fein found that the other party was actually about twenty years old, a human youth about the same age as himself.

"This ...... This monster, already dead? The robber asked, looking incredulously at the corpse of the Soul Eater.

"Well, it's dead." Finn clasped his hands in front of him and nodded.

"It's ...... You killed it alone? ”

"Or else?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My lord, please spare me a little life! The robber suddenly knelt down for Finn, "My name is Arroyo, and from now on, I'll follow you!" ”

"Huh? You're going to follow me? Finn was stunned for a moment, then looked at Arroyo with interest, "But what do I want a robber for?" ”

"My lord, I'm not a robber! Actually, I'm a thief, and I was forcibly pulled into the gang by the guys in the wolf's tooth stronghold! Arroyo quickly explained, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at my thief badge!" A thief is not the same as a robber! ”

As he spoke, Arroyo scrambled to pull out a small badge from his body and handed it to Finn.

Jewelry

Equipment Requirements: Rogues

+2 Agility

-- Money, treasure, fame, the wise man is good at obtaining everything by all means.

Finn bent down and took the badge from Arroyo's hand and took it to his immediate attention, and then confirmed that it was indeed a professional badge issued by the Thieves' Guild.

However, considering that the badge may have been snatched by Arroyo, Finn can't trust Arroyo's words yet.

"Arroyo, if you're really a thief recognized by the Thieves' Guild, then you should be able to use some of the thieves' basic skills, right?" Finn returned the badge to Arroyo and asked, "Like, this skill?" ”

"Yes, of course I will." Arroyo took the thief badge and nodded like garlic, "If you don't believe me, I can show you it now, or memorize the original instructions for this skill in the Thief Skill Manual." ”

"Okay, you recite it to me." Fein nodded.

Arroyo then explained the key to Finn's skill, and two system prompts then appeared below Finn's vision:

[Arroyo is teaching you skills]

[Note: You don't have a job as a thief, you can't learn skills]

It seems that Arroyo is not lying, and his profession is indeed a thief, not a robber.

"Alright, I believe you." Finn waved his hand and motioned for Arroyo to say no more, "But, since you're going to travel with me, I need you to do me a favor now, okay?" ”

"Say it." Arroyo promised, "As long as I can do it." ”

"You can do it." Finn looked at Arroyo, "I want you to take me to the Wolffang Stronghold." You can't remember the way to the Wolf's Tooth Stronghold, right? ”

"Of course I do." Arroyo smiled, "It's a very simple task. ”

"Then let's go ahead and lead the way."

"Yes, sir!"

As the words fell, Arroyo rose from the ground and walked deeper into the forest.

"Wait a minute, Arroyo." Finn looked at Arroyo's back, and something suddenly came to mind.

"Do you have any other orders, sir?" Hearing Finn call himself, Arroyo hurriedly turned back and bowed to Finn with a strange movement.

"What... Is there a bandage? Finn was stunned again by Arroyo, then asked, gesturing to his injured left shoulder.

"Yes! Take it with you! When Arroyo heard this, he immediately pulled out a roll of bandages from the small leather bag around his waist, and presented it to Finn with both hands.

"Thank you. Get up, I'm neither a lord nor a nobleman, and I'm not used to hearing others call me an adult. Finn took the bandage from Arroyo's hand, "Also, if you're really going to follow me, then consider me your companion." ”

As the words fell, he quickly wrapped a bandage around his left shoulder, and was slightly relieved to see a pale green "+1" emerging from the wound on his left shoulder.

After that, he led Arroyo in the direction of the Wolf's Tooth Stronghold.

……

The Wolf's Tooth Stronghold is a bandit colony established in a mottled forest, led by a thug named Anderson Beast Hitomi.

A year ago, a magical floating ship from the Violet Kingdom crashed into the mottled forest. Anderson Beast's bandit group hides in the mottled forest to evade the Farentan Empire's Border Patrol, and soon discovers the wreckage of the floating ship.

Since then, Anderson Beast Hitomi and his men have gradually transformed the wreckage of the floatship into a house for human habitation, and since then have established a stronghold of Wolf's Tooth in the mottled forest, which has become a scourge in the area around Dawnewind.

On that night, the robbers on the outskirts of the Wolf's Tooth Den continued to rotate as usual, while the other robbers in the colony slept comfortably in their beds, and several cooks were punished for lying on the kitchen floor for a night of sleep because they had neglected to put salt in their meals during the day.

At this time, in the kitchen room of the wolf's tooth stronghold, several cooks and a little girl who was twelve or thirteen years old fell asleep on the floor in a row.

Half-asleep and half-awake, the half-elf girl sleeping by the wall suddenly felt something coming from the wall next to her, so she rubbed her eyes and got up from the ground.

The next second, she turned her head to look at the wall beside her, and saw several stone bricks bulging out of the wall and falling to the kitchen floor with a clatter.

A hole about half a meter high suddenly broke in the wall, and a figure crawled out of the hole first, followed by a second figure poking its head out of the hole.

"Arroyo, if it's you, I never knew there was a tunnel behind this wall." Finn poked his head out of the hole and looked around, then crawled out of the hole with his hands and feet.

"Haha, of course you won't know, my lord, because I only dug this tunnel recently." Arroyo stood at the entrance of the cave and said with some pride, "If I hadn't met you, I might have escaped from here by myself tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he bent down and pulled Finn up from the floor.

After that, the two of them turned in unison, and their eyes met the little half-elf girl sleeping by the wall.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The three of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a very awkward silence.

In the middle of the night, the half-elf girl was the first to break the silence.

"Brother Arroyo, what are you doing here?" The half-elf girl looked straight into Arroyo's eyes, "Also, who is that person next to you?" ”

"Huh? Isn't this a lotus? Arroyo immediately showed a ghostly expression, "Strange, why are you in the kitchen now?" What's going onβ€”"

"Shh The little girl named Lian hurriedly put her index finger in front of her mouth, "Don't speak, someone is coming......"
