“*&￥#@#@”

What did the flower fairy say?

The giant man turned his head and looked confused: "Huh? Well...... Don't you like rotisserie chicken? ”

The flower fairy tilted his head to look at the giant man, and after a moment of stunnedness, he raised his hand, trying to repeat what he had just said in a slow tone, while constantly gesturing something. But the giant man obviously couldn't understand what she meant, and touched the back of his head, looking a little confused.

After a while, the flower fairy also seemed a little helpless, so he could only hold his hands in front of his chest, slowly flapped his wings and flew to the giant man's shoulder, sitting on his shoulder as if sulking, and continued to look at the roast chicken.

The fairy who watched the flowers stopped talking, and the giant man stopped talking and continued to turn the branches.

But just as the chicken slowly exuded a burst of fragrance, a voice suddenly came from the forest next to it-

"She wants you to pick some flowers, get some pollen and nectar for spices, so it tastes better."

The giant man was stunned for a moment, and saw a beautiful boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a hat and an ordinary merchant's cloth, come out from behind a tree.

The giant man who saw this boy suddenly became alert! His first reaction was to reach out to protect the flower fairy on his shoulder, and with his other hand to take the gavel next to him, with a wary expression.

But the boy didn't show any aggression, he just slowly walked to the campfire, sat down opposite the giant man and the flower fairy, and smiled with a smile on his face: "The flower fairy is responsible for spreading sweetness in the forest with poor sight, and you are responsible for bringing back the food captured by sweetness." You don't understand the language between you, and it's a shame that you can cultivate this tacit understanding. ”

Arrow tilted his head and glanced at the roast chicken, and saw that the surface of the chicken skin had wrinkled, showing a little golden yellow, nodded and smiled: "It's a good roast." But it would taste better if it was possible to bleed first and then remove the internal organs. Actually, you can use the fragrance to spice this roast chicken, and there is no need to pick flowers to flavor it. ”

Hearing the language that Arrow spoke, the giant man also froze, and he could hear that the language of Arrow seemed to be somewhat similar to that of his partner. And looking at the flower fairy again, he also poked his face out from behind the giant man's palm, and looked at Arrow with curiosity and vigilance.

"(Fairy) You understand what I'm saying?"

The field of economics in Lao Tengshu College is very broad, and I don't know who proposed the concept, thinking that if you want to know more about economics, sometimes you have to deal with non-human creatures, so that being familiar with each other's language and understanding each other's thinking has become a compulsory course.

Although at that time, Arrow felt that it seemed useless to learn so many messy languages, but now, he began to be glad that he had chosen this field of economics that was not much valued by the other factions of Lao Tengshu.

Arrow got up, saluted the flower fairy with the etiquette of a gentleman, and said with a smile: "(Fairy language) Arrow Garcia, here for you, honorable Miss Flower Fairy." Can you tell me your name? ”

The flower fairy was silent for a moment, she turned her head, looked at the giant man next to her who seemed very nervous and didn't know what to do, and hurriedly said, "(Fairy language) My name is Parfay!" Can you tell my name to my friend? Also, tell me, what's my friend's name? ”

It was a very smooth first step.

Arrow smiled and turned to the giant man and smiled, "My name is Arrow Garcia, and I am a guild owner. This forest is not for the two of you. Also, your friend says that her name is Parfay, which means vanilla in the language of the flower elf, and asks you what your name is. ”

"Parfay? Buffy...... Buffy! ”

For the first time, I understood the name of my partner, which made the giant man's expression gradually calm down from the beginning to the back, and then to the excitement! He looked at Parfay with an excited face, then pointed at Arrow and pointed to his nose and said loudly, "Me! My name is Brad! Oh, Parfait, Parfait! I know your name! Buffy! ”

"Your partner's name is Brad, which means bread in human language."

Arrow introduces her partner's name to Parfay, and the two immediately fall into ecstasy, constantly calling each other's names as excited as two children.

This picture made Arrow feel a little funny.

Generally speaking, even if you don't understand the language at all, it shouldn't be difficult to introduce your name to each other. Just point to your nose and say your name.

But the pair didn't understand what their friend's name was until they helped translate?

It's a bit sluggish.

By the time the pair had gotten their spirits, Arrow had already helped to cut open the belly of the roast chicken, removing the half-baked, bloodshot entrails from it.

It's a pity that this chicken, not only did it not come in handy, but it didn't even let go of bloodletting, so it is conceivable that the taste must not be very good.

After Arrow finished handling the roast chicken, he handed it to Brad, who sat down across from him, and Brad immediately tore off one of the drumsticks and gave them to Parfay, and threw the other to Arrow.

This kind of kindness will still be accepted by Arrow, because it represents the trust of the other party. Just eat, don't use it.

Brad happily nibbled on two bites of chicken, then looked at Parfay next to him, pointed at her excitedly, and said to Arrow, "Can you help me ask, where did Parfay come from?" We've been together for half a year, and I don't know what she's talking about, hehe, today I can finally ask her. ”

Arrow showed a sincere smile and said, "Before you ask others, why don't you tell us about yourself." Where are you from? How did you meet your partner? ”

Brad lifted his greasy hand, scratched the back of his head, and smiled, "Me? Hehe, I came out of our village. We are a family of five, and it is strange that our family always does not have enough food to eat for the neighbors. I just wanted to help my mom and dad. ”

"One day, my parents told me that they wanted me to go to a far, far away forest to get honey, and they said that as long as I ate the honey, I would never go hungry for the rest of my life."

"I'm so happy! So I came looking for honey. ”

Parfay, who was on the side, struggled to nibble on the chicken leg as she looked up at Brad, who looked a little agitated about the human language she couldn't understand a word, and her eyes kept drifting towards Arrow, seeking a translation.

Arrow translated briefly, and Parfay immediately widened her eyes, and immediately flew to Brad's eyes and asked loudly.

Arrow: "She's asking you, did you find honey?" ”

Brad smiled a little awkwardly and said with a very ashamed look, "No...... No, I still haven't found it. Because I was so stupid, I searched for days in that forest, and before I knew it, I was out of the forest, but the appearance in front of me was completely different from the place I knew. Later, not only did I not even find the honey, but I also couldn't find my home. But I was lucky enough to walk a few sunrises and sunsets before I came across Parfait. ”

Speaking of this, this Brad showed a worried expression: "I don't know if my parents, my younger siblings, are they hungry now?" My family didn't have enough to eat, so I couldn't help my family with farm work...... Alas. ”

Airo translated, and Parfay immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hands to grab Brad's cheeks: "(Fairy language) You're stupid! You've been abandoned by your family! They don't like you for eating too much, so they want you to get out! What honey that doesn't go hungry, it's all a lie! ”

Brad looked at Parfay and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Parfay, I will definitely help us find honey that won't go hungry, then you won't have to be hungry anymore, and I can also let my parents, younger brothers and sisters not have to go hungry." ”

Of course, Arrow couldn't translate this sentence, she looked at Parfay, and said tentatively, "(Fairy language) Miss Parfay, what about you?" ”

"(elf) Me?" Parfay let go of Brad's cheeks, crossed her arms and snorted a little stubbornly, "When I first met this guy, I thought he was different from ordinary humans, unlike other humans who would come and arrest me when they saw me, but went around looking for food for me and feeding me water to drink. But I didn't expect this guy to be so stupid, and given his strength, I thought he was some down-and-out human warrior. ”

Seeing that Arrow didn't translate, Parfay flew to Brad's shoulder, spread his hands and said, "As for me, I don't have any special experience. I bumped into this guy once in a while, and I saw that he was funny, so I just came out with him. ”

Arrow didn't translate either, he just continued to look into Parfay's eyes. At first, Parfay seemed indifferent, but as time went on, she visibly shrank her head.

"You...... Don't tell this Brad! ”

Arrow nodded, "(elf) I promise you." ”

Brad's gaze kept wandering over Arrow's and Parfay's faces, as if expecting to hear the conversation. But despite his anxiety, he held back and didn't call out.

"(elf) I escaped." Parfay exhaled, "My hometown has been in famine recently, and I have been attacked by many demonic beasts, so all of us have fled and scattered. ”

Arrow thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "How old are you?" ”

Parfay reflexively replied, "(Fairy words) I just turned 200 last year, what?" ”

Encountered a Warcraft attack, so can't you translate it to Brad? That's a very good reason.

Moreover, the flower fairy who is over 100 years old should not be short of food. Even if you bring this Bled, you shouldn't need to rely on scent lure and stick intimidation to get food.

But since Parfay didn't want to say much, Arrow wasn't in a hurry to know all the secrets of this flower goblin.

He turned to Brad and gave a brief introduction to Parfay's age and complaints about him, who still had a shy look on his face.

After the duo had eaten the chicken clean, Arrow reluctantly took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand.

Swallowing the bloodshot taste, Arrow looked at the pair in front of him and asked in two languages, "You two have been wandering here, haven't you?" ”

Brad rubbed his slightly greasy hands and nodded.

The corners of Arrow's mouth curled slightly, but he still tried his best to hold back his thoughts, and once again showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, and said, "So what are your plans for the future?" ”

Parfay turned her head to look at Brad, and the flower fairy also frowned: "(Fairy language) We should continue to wander." It's just that it's a lot of trouble to know what this guy is talking about. ”

Arrow put down the chicken legs, wiped the grease off his clothes slightly, and said in a very sincere tone, "Since the two of you may still be wandering around in the future, hungry and full...... I have an idea here. ”

He paused, and continued—

"Brad, Parfay, would you like to be a member of my guild?"

Brad tilted his head, looking a little confused. Parfay's reaction was a little quicker: "Guild members? What does that mean? ”

Arrow elaborated in two languages, "As I said earlier, I am the leader of a guild. I think Brad is quite powerful, and Miss Parfay knows some natural magic, and the two of them can register as 'warriors' if they are willing to play together. Take on tasks in my guild and work hard. ”

"And when the two of them are not working, it is not a problem to give the two of them a meal, a shelter that can withstand the wind and cold."

"Besides, there is still a problem with the language communication between the two, right? It's not that I'm boasting here, but I'm afraid there aren't that many people in such a remote place who can know both human and flower elf languages at the same time. ”

Parfay looked a little reserved, she looked Eero up and down, as if she was still a little wary of humans other than Brad.

But Brad immediately nodded in agreement, looking very happy: "Okay, good! Buffy! In the future, we will not have to sleep on the streets, we will never have to see you injured again, and you will have a warm place to live and something delicious to eat in the future! You don't have to suffer anymore, and those people won't want to get you, right? That's great! Just like when I first saw you, you hurt so badly, I won't know who to turn to for help in the future! That's great! Great! Buffy! ”

Although Parfay didn't understand, she still guessed it after seeing Brad's excited expression, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed. But thinking that the two of them didn't understand each other's language, she simply turned to Arrow: "(Fairy language) Why do you want us to be members of your guild so much?" I know about your human guilds, and I've seen some adventurers enter our Flower Elf territory once in a while, and that's not a good experience. ”

Arrow smiled and said slowly, "(Elf) I need people, and I think you can trust. Need another reason? ”

Despite all the suspicions, Parfay's face softened. Finally, she finally raised her hand and shrugged her shoulders as if she had given up: "(Elblin) If you join your guild and get free food and beds, it will be used as a temporary habitat...... Then join in. But you know, Brad listens to me! If you ask us to do something I don't want to do, then Brad and I will leave your guild without looking back! You get the idea! ”

It's really funny that a flower demon who is not proficient in human language actually intimidates the translator?

Brad looks strong, but simple-minded and easy to deal with. Although this flower fairy wants to be very smart, it is also dumbfounded.

If you have the chance, sell her.

The Flower Elf may be able to sell for less than 100 gold coins in the capital.

However, Arrow felt that he was not such a cold-blooded person, and if this flower elf could play with the value of more than 100 gold coins, she would certainly prefer her to stay.

Thinking of this, Arrow smiled and nodded at the two of them.

"Since the two of you are willing to become members of my guild, let's start right away without further ado."

Arrow handed the chicken leg to Brad, and the big man took it without thinking about it, nibbling on it as he listened.

"Brad, we'll leave after eating. Miss Parfait, don't worry. I'll let you know that our guild is definitely worthy of your trust. ”

Brad finished his chicken thighs with a smile. Just as he was getting ready, Parfay flew over Brad's shoulder and stopped in front of Arrow. The little flower fairy raised her hand and made a bow and arrow gesture at Arrow's heart—

"(Elblin) declare in advance that the reason why I agreed to join your guild is for the sake of Brad."

"He's stupid, he's always accommodating me when he doesn't understand what I'm saying, he's always laughing, he seems to be able to bear it, but he's actually a stupid person, completely heartless. The people who met us were the ones who tried to arrest me, they were the ones who murdered him, yelled at him, and drove him away. ”

"(Fairy words) Join your guild, and no one will bully him anymore, right? So, you'd better not bully Brad casually, and don't try to lie to us! ”

Packing up his things, Arrow got up, rubbing his hands on his pants. When he saw that Brad over there had finished eating, he got up with the big wooden stick, and then he smiled and said, "(Fairy language) Your relationship is really good." He's been worried about you all the time, thinking that if you join my guild, no one can bully you. ”

There is no need to say anything more, and there is no need to listen to it. Because Iero had seen the answer in the face of the flower fairy.

Looks like they must have had a lot of painful experiences in the past, right? Alas...... The perception of economics is really true, knowing too many secrets of others, many times it is really inconvenient to make money.

Extinguishing the campfire, Brad picked up some tattered metal and a covered hide, Parfay perched on his shoulder, and the two men followed Arrow into the depths of the Shining Forest.

There was a delay with the duo for this time, and it was almost midnight at this time. Those slimes must have been very active.

On the way, Arrow also briefly told them about his slime mission this time.

Not long after, Arrow returned to the place where he had been attacked by Brad before, looked around and confirmed that there was no trace of the slime, and immediately beckoned Brad to come over.

"Come, help dig up the soil here."

Arrow picked up the bag of hemp and handed it to Brad.

"Okay!"

Brad didn't think much of what was going on, he grabbed the sack and began digging with the big stick. Parfay didn't quite understand: "(Fairy language) What is this for?" ”

Arrow smiled, picked up a piece of dirt and threw it into the sack, and said in bilingual: "I was attacked by Brad before, and here, all the potions in my sack were knocked over and shattered. ”

An embarrassed flush appeared on Brad's face and he chuckled dryly, "I'm sorry, President." ”

"You should be sorry, but for the sake of what you can do next, you can make up for it this time. However, you should be careful in the future, not every mission failure can be ended with an apology. ”

With Brad's help, the soil that was soon knocked over the potion area was copied and carried by this big guy.

"These potions are all salt water potions that I have refined, and now that they have all been overturned, then only soil can be used."

"(goblin) You can also do alchemy?"

"No, the brine potion is just mixing a large amount of salt with water, and pouring salt while heating it. This level of alchemy is in the book, and you will be able to read it at a glance. ”

After explaining, Arrow led the two back to the camp and carefully sprinkled the mud boys filled with salt water around the camp, leaving only a small gap in the north. He took some dried branches and spread them in the camp, and when he was ready, he collected the leftover chicken bones and placed them in front of Parfay.

"(Fairy language) Use your scent magic to give this chicken skeleton a flavor, the richer the better~~"

Parfay didn't understand what Eero was trying to do, but she did it anyway. In a short time, a strong fruity scent emanated from her body, and these scents were attached to the chicken skeleton as if they were guided. In just two minutes, the skeleton smells like a fermented fruit from afar, full of intoxicating fragrance.

"That's it! Let's go up the tree! ”

Ready, Arrow placed the chicken skeleton on the south side of the camp, pulled Brad and Parfay up to a tree near the north and sat down, and after explaining what needed to be done next, he began to wait patiently.

The fragrance is rich and slowly wafts through this dark forest.

The scent penetrated through the dense foliage like needles and threads, through the sponge-thick darkness, and gradually, penetrated every corner of the shining forest......

Arrow held his breath and pricked up his ears, patiently and nervously listening for any sound coming from the forest.

Soon, his wait paid off.

Rustle - rustle –

The sound of some viscous liquid rubbing against the ground came from a distance, and these sounds were originally soft, but gradually, the sound became louder and noisier!

Through the moonlight on the camp, Arrow's eyes couldn't help but turn to a dark corner! There, a mass of rotten mud, now squirming slightly!

Here it comes?!

Brad pinched the big wooden stick in his hand, and Parfay was dragging Brad's hair, and the two looked at Eero in unison.

After seeing Arrow's smiling and indifferent expressions, the two of them also relaxed a little and continued to watch the movement below.

It's just that they don't know that although Arrow looks very calm now, his heart is also overturned!

It was the first time he had seen a monster that was alive and could be aggressive.

It's completely different from the teardrop-shaped slimes introduced in the book! These slimes look like all sorts of rancid sludge, what's pretty about it?

While the Naturalist says that slimes don't attack people, it also says that they will eat anything they can.

At this time, if you fall by yourself...... Arrow couldn't imagine himself being a pile of bones. No, maybe there won't even be bones left.

According to the plan, the slimes would retreat slightly when they touched the saline soil, and after a circle, they would come in through the gap in the north.

At first, there were only a few, but as time went on, I saw that this camp, which I thought was quite spacious, began to be filled with more than 20 slimes!

These monsters, which have no ability to think and act purely on instinct, wander in the clearing, squirming around the chicken skeleton that exudes a rich fragrance.

After waiting a little longer, seeing that no more slimes were coming, Arrow gestured to Brad over there.

"Hey!"

Brad let go, spilling the last bag of salt soil in his hand on the gap in the north. At this point, all slimes have been caught in this trap!

"Okay! Succeed with flying colors! ”

Parfay screamed happily, a voice that immediately caught the attention of the slimes. Arrow looked at the flower fairy and sighed secretly.

Thankfully, the slimes, who barely had the ability to think, stopped when they reached the edge of the salt soil, wandered around for a few moments, and then dispersed again.

It was also at this time that Arrow crept down the tree, took out the oil he had prepared long ago, wrapped it in the branches, and lit the fire. He circled the edge of the camp and carefully lit a fire on the inner branches of the salt earth.

The slimes moved slightly towards the middle after touching the flames, but they didn't show any agitation.

Seeing that the situation was still manageable, Arrow took a breath and quickly circled the torch around the salt earth. Seeing that, the flames formed a circle of fire and began to burn slowly towards the middle along the firewood that had been laid out in the camp for a long time.

"It's done!"

When it was done, Arrow threw the torch in his hand into the fire, clapped his hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Brad and Parfay over there also got off the tree, and the two of them looked at the slimes who were gradually forced by the flames to move towards the middle, and they were all surprised.

"It's the first time I've seen anyone use this method against a slime...... This kind of monster is more difficult to deal with than it seems. ”

Arrow clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile, "Although slimes are not afraid of swords and clubs, they are afraid of fire and cold, and they are afraid of grains of salt. Attacking monsters' weaknesses is a benchmark. ”

Say, what you want to say is right.

As for the fact that this knowledge is from the library of the college, it is better not to talk about it first.

The flames gathered in the middle, and the slimes were twisted and shrivelled by the flames. I believe that as long as it is burned for a while, it will be done.

"It's over later, Brad, you pick it up for me—"

Shout!

A liquid jet suddenly burst out of the flames! Immediately after, a shadow burst through the flames and pounced on the closest Arrow without hesitation!

"Be careful!"

Brad instinctively raised his mallet and swung it down, almost hitting the shadow to the ground as it was about to pounce on Arrow's face.

Arrow also reacted at this time, he hurriedly took two steps back, and looked at the big stick mallet, a slime that was significantly larger than an ordinary slime was pressed under the mallet.

"Are you alright?" Brad looked at Eero happily.

"Let go! Hurry up and let go! ”

Arrow screamed, and Brad turned around, only to see that his mallet had begun to corrode! And the slime's tentacles were already reaching along the mallet towards Brad's hand.

"Wow——! This thing, can't this thing be killed?! ”

Brad panicked and let go of his hand and retreated, but the slime seemed to be aware, and the outstretched tentacles popped out violently, firmly sticking to the back of Brad's hand.

Almost at the same time, the back of Brad's hand began to redden.

"It hurts! It hurts! I feel pain! ”

The sensation on the back of his hand made Brad instinctively slap it with his other hand, and Airo immediately shouted, "No touching with your hands!" (Fairy Language) Parfay! Smell the fragrance for Brad! ”

The flower fairy was already panicked when he saw the slime pounce on Brad's hand, and after hearing Arrow's command, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately flapped his wings to emit a rich fragrance.

The scent eased Brad's pain slightly, and within a few seconds, Airo hurriedly pounced on the camp over there, picked up the salt soil from the ground, and pressed it on the back of Brad's hand that had been touched by the slime.

Silk Silk –

Thanks to Arrow's salt water potion concoction, he was well prepared. As soon as he touched the salt earth, the slime immediately left the back of Brad's hand as if it had been burned. But the monster that fell to the ground turned to Arrow, stretched out a few tentacles and began to crawl towards him quickly.

Arrow had seen Brad's pained expression just now, and he forced himself to stand motionless in front of the slime as he almost jumped out of his chest. Seeing that his prey was not moving, the slime bent a few tentacles and slammed into Arrow's face!

"(Fairy Whisper) President!"

"President——!"

In the midst of Brad and Parfay's exclamations, Arrow jerked out the sack he had previously held with the big and salt water potion and slipped the slime inside. He didn't hesitate, and threw his hand into the fire that was still burning over there.

Bear ——!

The flames lowered slightly, and then rose again.

And this time, Arrow waited for a long time with a handful of salt soil in his hand, and finally no slime was able to escape.
