Barrett was stunned for a moment, and he really didn't know what expression to use to deal with the paladin in front of him: "Why did you suddenly think to ask this question?" ”

"Because Mr. Boreham, you give people the impression that you are very much like what you are talking about!" Waynes. Kent touched his chin, "It's like a lost love, in a period of confusion." ”

'Big brother! Where the hell did you see that I was out of love. I was too focused during my studies and was not in the mood, so I joined the test. Wrong! If you count the test period, you can't say that you haven't been in love. But those are all successful examples, where can it be related to broken love! If it's this task, it's even more useless' staring at Waynes. Kent looked at it for a long time, and Barrett couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mr. Kent, you don't start your conversation with everyone with that sentence!" I don't have that idea yet! ”

"Is it completely thoughtless? Could it be that I read it wrong! Said Waynes. Kent held the lantern in his hand and walked in to shine it on Barrett's face.

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Barrett, who took half a step back, waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't do this, this kind of behavior makes you feel very uncomfortable." ”

"Sorry! Profession habits! "Waynes who put down the lantern. Kent spread his hands.

Barrett, who knew that the other party had no malicious intent, laughed and scolded: "Were you really interrogating the prisoner just now∑?" And how can this guy have so much confidence to make such a judgment! Is it true that he is a saint of great love? ”

"You know what? Mr. Boreham, I'm actually engaged! "Waynes. Kent raised the platinum ring in his hand ostentatiously, "Her name is Soma." A good girl who is famous in my hometown. I was trying to catch up with ......"

It's like Waynes in front of you. Kent is the same. The vast majority of paladins have pretty good looks. Coupled with the good reputation of this profession, it definitely has a great advantage in the pursuit of young girls.

Facing the flashbangs released by the paladin in front of him. Barrett patted his head: "You guy won't be going to marry that lady named Soma after returning from this mission!" ”

"How do you know!" Waynes. Kent scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Because of this delay, Barrett was afraid that he would miss something during the patrol. He had no choice but to observe the water around the 'Georgia', and said breathlessly: "The happiness on your face is about to flow out." How can it not be seen. But the signal, you didn't say the words of going back to your hometown to get married. ”

"For! Mr. Boreham, you'll be glad I didn't say it directly. Is it because you're single and you're going to punch me up? "Waynes. Kent looked at Barrett with a slight hint of interest.

"Nope! No! No! I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to bless others. Speaking of this, Barrett pulled his arms down the side of the boat, "I just want to remind you!" In the middle of a mission, it's best not to say anything like that. According to the Far East. All the soldiers who told their comrades those words almost never made it off the battlefield alive. Although this may be superstition, it is better to be cautious. ”

"Why do I think it's likely that some fellow townsman stabbed him in the back out of jealousy?" Waynes. Kent raised an eyebrow, then smiled at Barrett, "I don't think Mr. Boreham would have done such a shameless thing!" ”

"Why do you think that?" Mr. Barrett paused, then touched his chin: "No! Maybe it's possible. If the deceased's fiancée was good enough, former rivals might have seen it as an opportunity. ”

"How! That's the end of the message, right? "Waynes. Kent smirked.

"That only explains part of it! Even so, you want to make sure you don't have competitors around you. Then Barrett subconsciously glanced at the sailor on the lookout with his eyes: "You must know that a sailor once said something similar, but then a tentacle rolled him in happiness and instantly dragged him into the dark sea. All that was left was the grunting lantern on the deck and a scream of fear. ”

"Wow! It's still happening. Could it be that the goddess of doom can't see the young man who was once in happiness? "Waynes. Kent subconsciously looked at the river, as if he was worried that a terrifying tentacle would suddenly appear there: "Of course, it may be purely because of his bad luck." ”

"Let's end this topic! I think it's almost time coming. It's time to go for a shift change. Barrett, who said this, patted Waynes. Kent shouldered it, and turned and walked towards the cabin. He was going to wake up the halfling now and sleep soundly.

But happily, in the next 6 days. The Georgia did not encounter any harassment. If it weren't for the fact that many of the wounded on the ship had not been able to recover, everyone would have been a nightmare in the middle of that night's attack.

"It's here! This is Shakespeare. The Georgia will be here for a 3-4 day break. Ladies and gentlemen, you can choose to wait for us to start again. Of course, you can also choose another boat. Captain Hawkedo, who said this, beckoned to the first mate John behind him, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the tavern with me." Looks like we'll have to call in a couple of great guys to fill the void now. ”

"Captain Hockdo! I would like to ask if the Georgia is being repaired right on the docks or will it be moved there to the dockyards. "Waynes. Kent said as he pointed to the stone-based wood-walled dock in the corner of the harbor.

"Go to the dockyard and repair it! Why do you think so. Captain Hoktor smiled, "If the damage is so severe that you have to go into the dock to repair it." I think it will only take ten days and half a month! So is it possible to solve it in 3-4 days? ”

Waynes. Kent touched the bridge of his nose: "Okay! I'm just wondering where exactly the Georgia is docking. lest you not be able to find it when you get on the ship again in three days' time. ”

"Don't worry! When the ship is repaired, I will have the sailors fly the flag of the Doji! Then you won't be wrong. Captain Hockdor laughed as he spoke.

Barrett, who was leading his teammates to stand aside, also said goodbye at this time: "Since if it is, then Captain Hockdor and Mr. Kent." We'll see you again in three days. Let's hope Shakespeare doesn't disappoint us! ”

"Don't worry! Shakespeare is still thriving, and I wish you all a great time in the future. As he said this, Captain Hawkdor winked at the players with a smile on his face.

After a long time on the water. Once again, players on land felt a sense of security that is difficult to describe in words. It's just that the arrival of the 'Georgia' has also caused a bit of chaos on the docks - for those who are begging for a living at the docks. Every ship that arrives represents a business opportunity. Of course, if they knew why the Georgia was stopped at Shakespeare. The number of people will immediately be reduced by more than half.

I don't know if it was because of the original planning, but the trestle of the pier was built a little narrow. The bustling crowd overwhelmed the players at once, and the weak mage and the small halfling were immediately reversed. Thankfully, Larlu and Claudia were beside them. Auditore each grabbed the other's wrists.

At this moment, Barrett suddenly felt a slight abnormal tug on his belt. Alert, his mind flashed: 'There are pickpockets? ’

Then Barrett's big hand reached out and grabbed the little hand holding the blade and preparing to cut the rope of the money bag. The muscles on that fleshy palm slowly tightened, showing amazing grip strength.

"Yikes! Do you know who I am, you bastard? The elite scream rang in Barrett's ears. Following the voice, a handsome-looking little boy was glaring at Barrett with a twisted face. One of his wrists was under Barrett's palm! Yikes! 'Rattle.

"Smack!" Barrett easily deflected the other hand that was sneaking up on the golden finger in front of him, and then twisted the wrist of that hand hard. There was a 'bang' sound, and the dagger that the opponent had used to sneak up on Barrett fell to the ground like this.

The farce here immediately affected the originally chaotic crowd, which was originally a crowd that was shoulder to shoulder with the players. Soon it was as if it had encountered a barrier, separating from both sides. There was an instant vacancy within a 10-foot radius around the players - although watching the excitement was a hobby for most people, the fear of trouble was deeply imprinted in the minds of the small citizens.

The halfling wanderer who bent down to pick up the sharp blade on the ground, picked it up and played with it for a moment, and then said, "Thinblade dagger." A favorite of the fledgling newbie Goldfinger. It can be used to cut a money bag more effectively than a blade in the other hand. But the stabbing words are also not powerful. Don't be lucky, you may be caught in the body by spasmodic muscles. ”

"Let go of me! Let me go! Otherwise, you'll be out of luck. The little 'golden finger' with his hands grabbed struggled and said. But at the same time as this threat, he suddenly kicked Barrett to the point.

It's a pity that the other party's childish means may be okay to deal with ordinary people. But in front of Barrett's eyes, it was completely useless. Between them, Barrett lifted his leg slightly, only to hear a "clang". The kick that he jerked slammed into the armor of Barrett's leg.

"Yikes!" After the scream, the distortion of the 'golden finger''s face became even more severe. It seems that in the previous kick, the opponent's toes seemed to have collided violently with the metal armor wrapped around Barrett. And the pair of soft cloth boots on the opponent's feet that are convenient for running have no defensive effect!

Soon there was a voice from the crowd: "This kid has kicked the iron plate!" Steal everything to look at the object. ”

"Really, people usually don't care when he is young. This time, I was unlucky to be caught red-handed! The onlookers who said this had apparently been patronized by the 'Goldfingers' before. even made some foreign appearance because of this.

"How! Noodles, how do you think you should solve this guy in front of you. "Barrett, who had subdued Goldfinger, handed over the problem to the 'experts' in the team.

In general, thieves in the cities have long been collectivized, formalized and elitist. Each organization has a fixed scope of activity and place of business. Orphans or homeless people who take risks are very rare. After all, they'll either be co-opted by the thieves' union, or they'll be hit in both black and white – and they'll end up being corpses in the gutter or goods in the underneath the hawkers.

So how to deal with the little guy in front of them has become a problem for players. It is naturally not okay to let him go like this, and if he is not punished in this public. That's a sign of weakness and deception.

There are so many pairs of eyes staring at the docks! Regulars in those taverns. One counts as one with a big mouth. Wait until they declare it. In the next few days, Shakespeare will probably come to 'pinch soft persimmons' more and more. Barrett, who had learned this lesson during the test, would not make the same mistake again this time.

But if the means of disposal are too heavy, it may also provoke the guy behind this golden finger. That's also a big trouble for players - after Goldfinger is caught, the victim is naturally with the power to dispose of it. However, there are limits to such treatment, and the restrictions are different in each city. Only a true expert in this area will be able to understand.

It was precisely because of this, the halfling wanderer, who had never been to Shakespeare, did not dare to reply immediately. He carefully scanned the crowd on the docks and the harbor in the distance, hoping to find the fellow's accomplice and get a little bit of information to judge.

After all, a place like this pier. It's often a big gold mine for a thief organization. There's no way they're sending such a little guy out for 'business', and there are other similar 'workers' around them.

But at this moment, there was Waynes in the crowd. Kent's voice: "Let it go!" Let's get it! Let's get ahead of you! ”

"Squeeze what squeeze! Yes! "You haven't seen a thief!" The shouts came and went, but soon all the voices died down. Because those onlookers from Waynes. Kent recognized the identity of the other party in his eye-catching outfit - the holy warrior of the sun god.

"Mr. Kent, you've come just in time! I'll leave this little guy to you. As soon as Barrett said that, he threw the "golden finger" that he had been accused of at Waynes. Kent.

Facing the half-grown children flying over, Waynes. Kent calmly pinched the back of the opponent's neck with one hand and lifted it up in the air: "It turned out that I met a pickpocket on the dock." I said, why didn't you leave until now? ”

"We're wondering what to do with this little one! I hope that your education, Mr. Guò Kent, will put him on the right path in the future! Barrett said, touching his neck.

Waynes. Kent looked at the 'golden finger' in front of him who was restrained by himself, and showed a weird smile: "In that case, I'll take him to the temple first!" When the time comes, it's going to be handed over to the sheriff or something. I discussed it with the local parishioners before making a decision. ”

"Now that the decision has been handed over to you, Mr. Kent. Naturally, it's up to you to decide what to do with it. We're never going to ask again. "Claudia. Auditore spoke up at this time.

"It is considered a day of good deeds. If you have something to do in the city, you can come to me at the Temple of the Sun near the square. "Waynes. Kent said as he held the 'golden finger' with a slight increase in his palm. Soon the consciousness of the half-grown child in his hand became blurred. Then he fell asleep even more groggily.

As the matter ended, the crowd that had no excitement to see dispersed. After all, these guys who are begging for a living on the docks still need to support their families.

However, in the scattered crowd, there was still such a voice: "A guy like this who dares to come nonsense with the support of someone behind him will mention the iron plate sooner or later." Even if it's okay this time, next time he'll meet a guy he can't solve. ”

"Forget it! Say no more! A little guy like this is pretty miserable too! Fortunately, it fell into the hands of the Holy Warrior, so he shouldn't suffer any inhuman treatment! ”

Two completely different attitudes, expressing completely different positions. There are also completely different views on the 'golden fingers' who are scurrying around the docks, and the people who are begging for a living on the docks - there are sympathizers, but there are more disgusters.

After all, these wanderers are not just targeting outsiders like Barrett, and some of them will even stick their fingers into the pockets of these dock workers when their business is 'down'.

Although these laborers who live on the docks all year round are mostly familiar with those 'golden fingers'. But even cats have a nap! Not to mention people. The hard-earned money is gone, and it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.

Claudia stretched. Auditore said as he walked: "Let's go! Guys, hope to find a comfortable hostel today. During this time, I slept in a hammock and my waist hurt. ”

"I would have liked the food at the hotel to be tasty. You must know that during this time, in addition to unleavened bread, we have salted meat and pea soup. My taste buds are tingling. That's worse than when I was at sea. Noodles couldn't help but complain.

Barrett patted the halfling wanderer's head: "Nonsense! Inland waterway shipping and sea freight are different. The gap between their ships and the shore is much shorter. Naturally, you don't need such good food to boost morale on a ship. If it weren't for this accident, we would have reached Shakespeare long ago. Naturally, your taste buds won't have any problems. ”

"Guys! We have three days now, do you think we should do anything in Shakespeare? "Trailmatis who fell behind the line. Bot asked suddenly.

"What? You don't want to take on any assignment with Shakespeare! Although I hate you when you just joined the team, you want to get into the state as much as possible. But I would say that such a short period of time is simply not enough for us to do anything. Speaking of which, Barrett turned to stare at Clematis. "So, let's just have a good rest these days," Bot stressed. ”

"That's right! Relax with Clematis! Didn't Captain Hawktor just say that Shakespeare was prosperous? Wouldn't it be nice for us to take this opportunity to experience a foreign land? As she said this, Rielly suddenly grabbed Klymatis. Bot's arm, dragging her forward.

I don't know if it's because of the player's proper handling of Goldfinger when they're at the docks, or if it's because the paladin they know is still in the city. After the commotion on that side, there was no one behind the 'golden finger' who came to look for trouble.

It has to be said that as an inland port, Shakespeare is still very prosperous. The sun-dried bedding exudes the smell of sunlight, and the cotton wool filled in it is moderately soft and hard, giving players a peaceful sleep.

Fruits and vegetables, cooked in a very delicate sauce, served with crushed Quelinnati banquet vegetables made from bread and cheese. With an elven flair. Although the cauliflower and onions may turn black due to the red wine and sauce. But that doesn't detract from their deliciousness - at least the halflings eat from their mouths open.

The latter is even more surprising than the former. Be aware of the vicinity of Shakespeare City and the settlement where there are no elves. Being able to eat elf-flavored dishes here (even if it's a magic version to cater to local tastes) is a rare thing in this day and age.

Only in cities with developed commodity circulation can there be so much distant. The 'Valley Dwarven Stew' is a kind of hospitality that is mostly a tragedy for the guests, and the players can actually see it.

Barrett and Noodles, who had already heard of its name, naturally stayed away. However, it is rare among players to have a guy who is not afraid of death. Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore, the two eldest ladies who were surprised by the pursuit, really ordered the dish.

But when the strange blue and green lumps of the basin on the table and the pungent smell of it appeared in front of everyone. The two ladies immediately regretted that they hadn't listened to Barrett and Noodle.

However, for the two who are not short of money, after seeing this plate of dark cuisine from the prestigious continent, they directly called the waiter to throw this plate of "terrible guys" into the swill bucket. Naturally, you won't be able to get along with your taste buds.

Happy times are always short-lived. Just when the noodles were still lingering in the Shakespeare Theatre's Shakespeare Theatre's Mesh Beauty Leg Dance. The Doji flag on the 'Georgia' has been raised. Captain Hockdo's departure has fortunately been communicated to the players. (To be continued......)
