With the Blood Bead, Arrow's mind naturally moved the mine's brain.

At least now you can pass through the territory of the Bloodworm in relative safety, right? This smelly thing can also be used as bait against those who eat the corpses.

It was not long before the Count's large army arrived. Or...... Take this opportunity to take everyone to the mine first? But what about combat effectiveness...... If it is feasible, it is better to increase the combat effectiveness a little more to be safe......

"We're back!"

As I was thinking about it, as the night deepened, the sound of Cream came from the direction of the gate.

Arrow nodded, looking at the time, it was time for dinner.

He left the alchemy room with Coco and walked into the guild hall, only to see Parfay and Cream walking through the door.

"Coming back? How's the mission going? ”

Arrow asked.

Cream smiled and said, "It's easy, the goods arrived smoothly!" ”

Parfay crossed her waist and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Not only is the goods delivered smoothly, but the little daughter of the owner's family is also very fond of our thieves." Constantly shushing the cold and asking for warmth, I was almost ashamed to look at it. ”

Arrow's eyes lit up: "Oh?!" So great? The eldest lady has taken a fancy to you? ”

Cream waved his hand, lifted the ring on his left ring finger and said, "I don't have this in mind, now I just want to complete the task well." ”

Arrowhaha laughed, then looked up at the gate, "Where's Brad?" It's rare to see you and your partner acting separately? ”

Parfay flew to the table, and Coco had already handed over her small cup and poured a little water. The flower fairy took a sip and said, "(Fairy language) He was chatting with people outside, as if he had met a fellow countryman. Come in right away. Seeing that they were chatting so happily, I was thirsty, so I came in first and took two sips. ”

"Fellow?"

Arrow suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know where this big man was from. But it's no wonder that others don't say it, don't you also carry a lot of things and don't say it?

Just when Arrow wanted to go out to see what Brad's fellow looked like, the big man took the initiative to appear in front of the door.

"Please come in! Quick, come in! Don't be nervous, although our president looks scary, the president is actually a good person! ”

With Arrow's guidance, a man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, who looked to have experienced a lot of weather, and carried a worn-out lute on his back.

When the man was brought to Aero by Bledra, it was obvious that there was a slight doubt in his eyes.

"Looks scary?"

The man looked at Arrow and looked at Brad with an inquiring look.

Brad said with a serious face: "Well, our president doesn't seem to be scary at first glance, but he's actually really scary!" But, but! Although the president looks scary, the president is a good person! You can trust me, absolutely! ”

Iero was convinced that if this big man hadn't been so loyal and conscientious in his previous missions, he would have made this stupid big man understand what it means to be "not scary to look at, but actually scary"!

Since they were Brad's friends, Arrow asked Cream and Coco to go to the kitchen to bring out the dinner he had made earlier, and at the same time smiled at the man and said, "Hello, I am the president of this Mermaid Song Adventurer Guild, and my name is Arrow Garcia. Are you a fellow boy from Brad? Welcome, welcome! Since it's Brad's friend, it's also my Arrow's friend. How about a meal here today and a one-night stay! Also, Brad, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had friends coming? If I had known, I could have cooked something delicious and cleaned the room in advance! You see that you are making a fuss, you are really snubbing the guests. ”

Brad smiled innocently and said to the man, "Look, we're going to be scary, aren't we?" ”

The man smiled slightly awkwardly, an expression that Arrow could understand. After all, ordinary people probably have this expression in the face of Brad.

"Hello, esteemed President of the Mermaid Song Guild, young proprietor, hospitable and warm host, handsome male swan, light of the old Tengshu Academy, symbol of wisdom and courage, Your Excellency Airo Garcia. Greetings to the reciter. ”

The voice of many grains is very magnetic, with a little gentleness. Combined with his slightly weathered appearance, it is indeed a very deep feeling.

It was this feeling that made him say these title prefixes without giving Arrow any sense of abruptness and special flattery. It's just that he doesn't get used to it, after all, he was a little surprised to hear this red tape again in this rural place.

"Ah...... Hello, Mr. Grain Lota Reciter. ”

"Just tell me a lot of grains." The man removed the lute from his back, and his fingers gently plucked the strings with a pleasant sound, "As a wandering bard, it is a great honor for me to be able to have a temporary resting place in your guild. ”

Coco put a large plate of bread on the table, walked over to Arrow, and whispered, "Brother President, another weirdo?" ”

Although Arrow wanted to tell this little girl, it was best not to include herself in the choice of words when saying that others were weirdos with a disgusted face. But...... Never mind.

Seeing that dinner was ready, Arrow waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, let's have a meal together if you don't dislike it." ”

Gu Li glanced at the dinner on the table, but after only one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it. After swallowing a little saliva, he smiled and gently plucked the strings with his fingers again: "Since that's the case, then you're welcome." ”

As the sun finally sank beneath the Eternal Mountains, the streets of Pelican Town became quiet.

Seeing that there would be no more tasks to delegate, Arrow closed the door and everyone sat around the table to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Of course, the theme of tonight's dinner is undoubtedly the new Grain Lotus reciter. He always tried to keep a smile on his weathered face, picked up a piece of bread, stuck some cheese juice, and put it in his mouth to bite in. Then his eyebrows fluttered, and his expression really made him excited. He began to look at Arrow, who was sitting across from him, and the respect on his face was overflowing.

"Really! Dear Lord Airo Garcia, this is truly the best sauce I've ever had in my life! It's just the most ordinary cheese sauce, right? But why is it so sweet? It tastes so good! ”

While complimenting, he took another bite.

Regardless, it's useful to be complimented. Among other things, the cheese sauce was his forte, and Arrow felt that he couldn't get enough praise for it. He couldn't help but hold his head high, and smiled happily: "Don't call Your Excellency anything, you are much older than me in terms of age, you can call me Arrow." ”

After waiting for this grain to eat two more bites and drink two cups, Arrow asked, "Mr. Grain, how did you come to this town?" And I didn't expect you to be fellow countrymen with Brad! This was quite a surprise. ”

Brad smirked, hey, hey, very proud.

After his stomach was a little full, he looked very gentle, and said with a smile: "Although I say that I am a fellow countryman, I left my hometown when Brad was very young. I was really surprised that he recognized me, because I didn't recognize him at all. ”

Still smiling, Brad touched the back of his head and said, "I, I've grown up." I was only ten years old when Big Brother Gu left, and I hadn't seen him for seven or eight years in a blink of an eye. ”

Gu Liduo nodded: "It's really grown up a lot." At that time, you will look strong and strong. But I didn't expect you to be so tall now, and you have joined the guild to become a warrior! I'm so proud of you! ”

After making the big man smile from ear to ear, Gu Liduo turned his head to face Arrow and answered his question: "When we were young, our hometown was poor. Maybe President Arrow doesn't quite understand, it's just that kind of ...... A poor and white rural place. Eating depends entirely on the weather, and if there is a year when the harvest is a little bad, then we will be hungry for the whole year......"

At this point, the grain pauses slightly, to see if Eero can understand the hardships of this life. After getting a nod of approval from Arrow, he continued-

"So, when I was an adult at the age of sixteen, I thought about leaving my hometown and going to the big city to earn a living. Because I have loved musical instruments since I was a child, and when I was a child we had a brief stay with a bard in our hometown, I learned from that bard. Therefore...... That's what I eat. ”

The grains played the lute more, and after tuning the tone a little, the fingers flicked, and the music sounded-

"Life in the city is not satisfactory~~Difficult poetry cannot be dangerous~~Everyone has such and such anger in their hearts~~Running around~~South and north~~The expectation carried in the music~~ Slowly turned into powerlessness~~~"

The melodious and somewhat sad music fell, and Gu Liduo put down the lute and the smile on his face continued with melancholy, and said: "I ran around, just like my teacher, and became a bard. Carry stories and legends from afar to sing around, so as to get a little income. ”

"But lately, our war with Hunter has intensified, and my business has started to get hard. So I thought about leaving our Blue Bay Empire and going to other peaceful countries to survive. However, as soon as I reached the border, I was stopped by Imperial soldiers, saying that in order to prevent spies, no one was allowed to enter or leave the border at will. ”

"Two days ago, I heard that a force was heading to this Pelican Town, and I was thinking that Pelican Town is not a border of war, but that further away in Pelican Town is the abyss where no life is said to exist. So, is the team trying to move south from Pelican Town? If there were a large army crossing the border together, I might be able to get out of the way. ”

"In this way, I hurried here, but I didn't expect to be recognized by my fellow villagers as soon as I arrived in this lovely town."
