Chapter 7 The Undead Soldier

There was no commission for the day, and after dinner, the rested Arrow led Brad, Parfay, and Napa out of the guild again.

Far away, you can hear the shouting coming from the square of Pelican Town.

Walking into the square, you can see dozens of young men gathering there with pitchforks and torches, and the mayor of the town is now standing in the center of the square. Clearly, the mayor had initiated the rally.

When Arrow saw Little Spirit, he immediately stepped forward to say hello. The barkeeper nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of the mayor and stopped talking.

"I'm sure you all know! We've had a lot of strangers in Pelican Town lately! Some of them are welcome to join our small town family! I just hope that these strangers don't ruin their popularity because they are too greedy! ”

As he said this, Mayor Round Cheese glanced over to Arrow. There weren't many newcomers in the town, and the rest of the townsfolk turned their heads to look at Arrow, their eyes full of doubt.

"But there are other things that we definitely don't welcome. They are thieves! It's a robber! It's the monster that harasses our lives! This hateful thief has stolen a lot of our townsfolk one after another, and he thinks we'll continue to tolerate his audacity! However, he was wrong! Today, we're going to catch this guy, hang him on a branch, and make him accept the fate of being a thief! ”

With the mayor's shout, everyone who had just stared at the mermaid's song immediately turned their heads, raised their arms high and cheered. They all raised their pitchforks in their hands, as if they were ready to fight with someone.

Seeing the team start walking towards the west street under the leadership of the mayor, Arrow crossed his waist and smiled softly: "Is this a thief, or a war?" The other party is just a thief, can he be caught with such fanfare? ”

That being said, Arrow's plan made it necessary for him to follow the team.

The little spirits who were traveling with him were empty-handed, and didn't seem to be carrying any weapons and props. Dressed as a bartender, he doesn't look like a thief, more like he's about to go to work at a bar. The tavern keeper walked at the back of the line, side by side with Arrow, and opened his mouth leisurely: "There are few people in the town, this kind of thing is all about helping each other, and everyone is used to acting together if there is any problem. ”

Following behind everyone, Little Spirits glanced at Arrow beside him, and said coldly, "So, I advise you." There's really no future in this town as an adventurer's guild. The slime can only be said to have you get an order by accident, but more often than not, it's like this, and the townsfolk work together to solve the problem. ”

Arrows aren't worried about not being favored.

After all, since he was a child, he has almost never been looked down upon.

But that's okay because it's not a quick fix.

The procession slowly marched down the street, and Mayor Round Cheese walked at the front with a torch in his hand, shouting violently, as if he could blast the thieves out with just two more shouts.

Iroh didn't mind this kind of behavior, because the mayor probably never thought that he would be able to catch thieves through this method, right? It may be more practical to increase one's prestige among the townspeople than to catch thieves.

However, the problem of thieves always needs to be solved.

As long as the thieves are not caught and there are a few more thefts, then it is natural that someone will think of their guild, and things will naturally develop in a good direction.

"Who?!"

Just as Iero was thinking about what to advertise next, one of the townsfolk suddenly roared loudly!

Hearing the exclamation, Brad immediately raised the log stick in his hand and rushed to Arrow to stand on guard. Although this guy has a bad brain, he remembers the rules of warriors he taught him very well, which makes Arrow very happy.

"There! In front of that window! ”

The townsfolk who had just shouted stretched out their fingers and pointed to a dilapidated house that had been uninhabited for a long time, and a shadow dangled from the window on the second floor, from which it was clearly a human, and it was a petite human!

"Thieves! Catch the thieves! ”

Round Cheese waved the torch in his hand and pointed to the uninhabited house with a strong sense of air. The strongest townsfolk immediately rushed into the house like enraged bulls.

After about three minutes, the townsfolk came out of the building grabbing a figure.

"Caught !!"

No way?!

Although Arrow still wanted to maintain the smile on his face, there was still a slight twitch in this smile.

The little liquor on the side snorted, turned around and said, "Solved, our town has always solved problems like this." Go home and sleep, then pack your bags and leave before you lose much. ”

Will such an outcome make Eero happy?

Of course not!

How can this thief lie dormant in the town for months on end, steal so many things, and then suddenly get caught one night, less than half an hour on patrol?

His promise of one gold coin has already been released, and if this thief is really caught like this, it will be a major credibility blow to his guild!

No matter what Arrow said, he quickly separated the townsfolk in front of him and squeezed to the front, wanting to see what the thief looked like.

Protected by Brad's massive body, it didn't take long for Airo to squeeze to the front. I saw two strong men kneeling in front of the round cheese with a small body.

It was a girl, a girl with short gray hair, a tattered robe, and her hands and feet looked extremely delicate, and she was definitely no more than 12 years old.

The girl was held by arms by two strong men, her face was full of fear, and tears of fear were dripping down, and her lips turned white with fright.

The round cheese held up the big belly and looked at the little girl in front of him happily. He brought the torch in his hand close to the little girl and shouted, "Who are you?" We don't have a person like you in town! You must have stolen so much from us, you little thief! ”

The little girl trembled with fear, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Arrow, who was watching from the side, glanced at the little girl's outfit and had a little bottom in his heart.

Napa: "Look at her outfit ......"

Arrow: "Ah, I know. ”

"Hey! I ask you! Did you steal so much from us?! ”

Round Cheese shouted loudly in his voice, in the spirit of emphasizing the need to be sufficient, and at this moment he showed the majesty of his mayor.

The little girl was even more frightened, her body shook even more, and her whole face was crying, as if she would faint directly as long as she was scared again.

"Don't say? Not saying it is defaulting! Even if it's a child, stealing is stealing! I'm now announcing in my capacity as Mayor of Pelican Town, because you've stolen so much from our town, you have two options! One, you have to pay back our town for almost 5 silver coins! Second, I will sell you and use the money from the sale of you to pay us back! ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to be sold, the little girl's body twitched somewhere, and her body, which was already very weak, couldn't cope with it, and she collapsed all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Brad was a little unbearable, and lifted the round rod in his hand and was about to rush forward. But before he took a step, he still glanced at his president, and after seeing that Arrow still didn't say anything, he hesitated, but still retracted his steps and stood beside Arrow.

Arrow looked at the little girl who was surrounded by everyone, and his brow furrowed even more. But for the sake of business norms, it is not convenient for him to speak out now.

He's waiting.

Wait for that "thing" to happen.

If at the last minute, that still hasn't happened......

"Hey, that...... What is it? ”

Just as Round Cheese was interrogating the little girl menacingly, one of the townspeople involuntarily pointed to the end of the street and stretched out his finger.

At first, it was just one or two people, but as those who were looking over there couldn't shrink their gazes, the others were looking in that direction.

The streets at night are filled with a dark atmosphere.

The old and dilapidated buildings on both sides looked like tombstones in a cemetery at first glance.

Everybody saw it......

I saw a blue light in the darkness.

"Karma...... Kaga ......"

Along with the flickering light, there was the sound of some kind of hard object hitting the ground.

The blue-blue light gradually intensified, and with this noisy ear sound, something ...... Slowly walked out.

It was a skeleton.

A corpse with a cyan glow in his eyes, a tattered cloth hanging from his body, and a remnant sword tainted with an unknown amount of blood in his hand...... Human bones!

The mouth of the skeleton made that "Karma" sound, and it was slowly walking towards everyone!

"Magic ...... Monsters ......! ”

Even though there are many people, when have these townspeople actually seen real monsters? Especially the appearance of the bones of such dead people moving around again made them even more frightened!

Round Cheese was also frightened stupid now, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. But perhaps it was his footsteps that stimulated the skeleton, and the Dead Soldier suddenly let out a violent rattling sound, raised the broken sword in his hand and quickly rushed towards the round cheese!

"Wowβ€”β€”! Help me...... Help me! ”

With the shout of round cheese, the strong man who was holding the little girl just now let go of his hand, gritted his teeth and raised the pitchfork in his hand and rushed forward. However, the villagers, who had no combat experience, were the first to be half bold when faced with this skeleton, and all of them failed, but they were slashed in the shoulder and back by the broken sword in the hands of the dead soldier.

The skeletal sword was so blunt that the two strong men fell to the ground clutching their wounds, but the bleeding was so good that the other townspeople no longer had the heart to fight. They quickly retreated, quickly exposing the little girl directly in front of the skeleton.

"Monster! Monsters have appeared! ”

The mayor of the town was quite knowledgeable, and immediately pointed at the little girl, and cursed loudly-

"This monster must have been summoned by her...... Definitely! ”

The little girl looked up slightly confused and looked at the mayor and the townspeople. But at this moment, the skeleton came behind her, raised the broken sword in his hand, and slashed at the little girl's head without hesitation!

"Brad! Save! ”

Clickβ€”β€”!

With a single sound, Brad's huge body steadily protected the little girl's figure, and the wooden stick in his hand was also the broken sword that took the bones.

"Who have you seen summon monsters to attack you?!"

Arrow stepped forward and quickly hugged the little girl, who was already scared and weak, and helped her back to the townspeople. Because of Arrow's shout just now, those townspeople had no objection for a while, and the round cheese reacted faster, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull a handful.

After handing the little girl to the round cheese and the little spirits, Arrow quickly turned around, only to see that Brad was now fighting with the dead soldier.
