Chapter 29 Mission Accomplished
"Let's go, let's go!"
Arrow immediately ordered, and Cream glanced at the mechanisms all over the ground, gritted his teeth in pain, and immediately got up. But just when he wanted to run away first, this guy paused, turned around and ran to Brad over there, and put his shoulders on his shoulders: "Hurry up!" I'll help you. β
Brad was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Don't show any comradeship, I don't have this kung fu now!" Iero approached the dead monster and grabbed one of its arms, "Help move the corpse out, quick!" No matter how painful it is, I have to endure it now! And Coco, don't think that you can not contribute if you are a child, let's move together! Fast! β
Now, Brad's hand that was about to fall on Cream's shoulder just now was embarrassed to fall. The warrior and the thief glanced at each other, but came over silently and helped move the body together.
A group of four people dragged and dragged the monster's corpse and tried to retreat, and they didn't know if the two monsters were too lazy to chase because they were happy to eat, plus the smell of the monster's corpse, the bloody insects didn't embarrass them much, so they went straight to the entrance of the mine, which was completely relieved.
Outside, it had already turned from the light of the afternoon to the darkness of the night, the sound of the rain pouring was like a rapid piano music, and the fatigue of continuous running and climbing made the whole guild seem tired.
As soon as he saw the light at the exit of the mine in front of him, Airo only felt his body collapse, if it weren't for his hands clutching the monster, he was really worried that he would fall down the tunnel.
But in the distance, everyone could see the figure standing in front of the entrance of the cave, reflecting the slender figure in the deep night, accompanied by the golden light in the palm of the black shadow's hand.
Arrow stopped, let go of his grip on the monster, and took a deep breath. The rest of the team also stopped, silently clenching their weapons.
It's just that Cream's current situation is very embarrassing, he looked at Arrow, and then at the strange face reflected by the golden light, and finally made up his mind and walked over slowly.
"Merlin, what do you think...... Is this enough? β
As she said this, Cream involuntarily pinched the pendant ring on her chest, and her whole body trembled a little.
In the dark and rainy night, the powerful magician stretched out his free hand and snapped his fingers gently. Six flames appeared around him, swirling around him like lights.
Merlin's gaze could not be taken away from the piece of gold, as if he were looking at the face of a lover, and he gazed at it affectionately, and said slowly, "You have fulfilled your promise, poor little thief. I wondered, should I follow my promise as well? β
"You promised!"
Cream couldn't help but shout, and her steps involuntarily took a step forward! But just after this step, I don't know if the light reflected from the short sword in his hand stung the mage, and a ball of fire suddenly exploded in front of Cream! forced him to take several steps back.
"Watch your words." The magician finally put the piece of gold into his robe, raised his head, looked at the people in the cave condescendingly, and said coldly, "A magician's promise cannot be questioned by a small thief. β
Listening to this, Merlin seems to agree to abide by certain covenants with Cream. After receiving this promise, Cream's anxious expression just now relaxed slightly. He nodded, a smile reappearing on his face, "What about ...... That's good. I'm sorry, honorable archmage, and I apologize for my rudeness. β
Merlin nodded slightly, his gaze shifted from Cream to Arrow and the others behind, and smiled slightly: "I have to say, your task is really good." It's a small guild, but you're worthy of professionalism. β
After a slight pause, his gaze glanced at Brad behind him, looked at the tattered armor on his body, and laughed contemptuously: "(Fairy language) Flower Elf, would you like to go with me?" I can provide you with better shelter, far beyond anything you can get from this poor little guild right now. β
Arrow's surprise! But he had long thought that since he was able to master the language of the elves, it was more likely that these magics that specialized in language would be more likely. Without waiting for Brad and Parfay to speak, he had already stepped forward and walked to a position further in front of Cream to face the magician.
"Asking my members to transfer directly, are you acting too direct? At our Old Tengshu Academy, the first lessons that magic apprentices take are manners, politeness, and respect for others. β
Merlin looked at Arrow with a slightly curious gaze, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It turned out to be someone from the Old Tengshu Academy?" Hehe, okay, I'll just treat you as if you didn't mean to use your school's name to pressure me. Maybe we'll have more opportunities to work with each other in the future. Goodbye, Mermaid Song. β
With that, the magician turned and strode into the rain. The flames automatically formed a circle of flames above his head, and any rain that was about to fall would evaporate in an instant, making him disappear into the rainy night with great grace.
It wasn't until the flame completely disappeared into the night that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Arrow commanded the people to carry the monster's corpse out of the cave, braved the heavy rain and night, and walked all the way down the hill without stopping, and walked quickly towards Pelican Town.
The road had already gone back and forth twice, so even on a rainy night, everyone's journey was still not delayed much. It was almost the middle of the night, and when the whole town fell into a deep sleep, everyone finally arrived at the guild gate.
"I think we can hire a car in the future."
As Arrow knocked, Coco muttered and reached out to pat the water droplets off her cloak.
Arrow smiled wryly, if he could, he would have liked it too. But now is the initial stage of the guild, and it doesn't cost money to hire a car, and of course you have to hire someone if you hire a car, which is also an expense. But if you don't hire someone yourself, you just leave the car outside when everyone is going to the cave to adventure? If you lose it, it's a big loss.
"Walking is a workout."
Arrow replied, taking the lack of money to heart.
Soon, the door opened. Inside, Napa was visibly covering her nose after opening the door, waiting until she was sure that the guys didn't have the same bad smell as last time before letting everyone in.
"You've brought something back with you."
The monster's corpse had been placed on the floor of the hall in good condition, and thankfully its blood had been washed away by the rain, and now it didn't look like it would stain the floor with blood, except for a little bit of horribly deformed.
Just as Arrow exhaled and was about to declare the mission a complete success......
"Hey, merfolk president."
Turning around, he saw that Cream was now standing in the doorway, raising his hand and making a farewell gesture to Arrow.
"Thank you very much for your help this time. Now that your mission is complete, it's time for me to leave. β
Arrow crossed his hands on his hips and sighed: "The first job you introduced to us really had a 'lucrative' life, and our little guild was almost planted in it." β
"Hahaha! The mermaid will be lucky and will be able to save the day! Farewell, next time there is such a lucrative job, I will definitely come back again! β
Hearing that Cream was leaving, Brad stepped forward holding his chest: "Are you going to leave so late?" Don't get some sleep? There's still so much rain, let's talk about it tomorrow after breakfast, right? β
Cream looked towards Brad, and naturally saw the big man's concerned eyes. In an instant, the thief's nose was sour, and he hurriedly turned his head to the door, and waved his hand again: "Hahaha!" Your little guild can't let go of Uncle Ben's feet. Good luck! Good bye! β
As he spoke, he rushed out of the gate without looking back, and ran down the street in the rainstorm. His direction was not what Arrow had expected, the same direction Merlin had gone.
- September 16, 1301, expedition cost: -4 copper, balance: 83 gold, 6 silver, 7 bronze and 9 ironββ
After a night of heavy rain, today's weather is really good and people want to kiss this sky!
Arrow stretched, got up from the bed in good spirits, combed his hair and put on his hat, and looked in the mirror again to make sure that his outfit was as fresh as usual before walking out of the room.
Pelican Town, which has returned to sunny days, has once again welcomed its own lively market, the stalls in the square have been re-erected, and there are more people coming and going on the streets.
However, none of this has anything to do with today's mermaid song.
The door of the guild was closed, and a sign was posted at the door that it would be closed for a day off.
When I went downstairs, my guild members had already prepared breakfast, and when they saw Arrow, they all stood up and waited for the guild leader to eat together.
Arrow drank milk as he watched Brad and Coco in condition, Brad was badly injured and was now able to move freely, but he could still see a little pain from the frown he had from time to time. Parfay perched on his shoulder, wiping the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead with her hands every now and then.
As for Coco, although she was not hurt, her face was only slightly better than when she came back last night. It can be seen that being crushed twice in a row by the undead soldier has indeed caused a great loss of her magic power.
Through this expedition, Arrow is very sure that his guild has a few pounds and taels. It would be a bit arrogant to be able to explore that cave unhindered in such a state.
After breakfast, after Brad and Coco had washed all the dishes and chopsticks, he called the two of them to stand up, and he stood behind the counter, and picked up the cat that had just tried to lie on the cushion and put it on top of his head.
"What are you doing?"
"I'd like to ask you to look a little bit like the vice president."
With that, Arrow led everyone out of the hall and to the storage room at the back. In the vast space, the body of the monster from yesterday was placed in the middle of the storage room, surrounded by some ice cubes, so that it would not decay immediately after a night.
