Cream pinched her chin again and walked back and forth several times, as if to really make sure there were no holes in it.

Seriously, in terms of persuasion, Cream is a lot more cautious than Coco, and if this guy wasn't that annoying, he might be a good adventurer.

After hesitating for a long time, this guy finally nodded and said, "It doesn't sound like there's a pit." Okay, we make a deal. ”

Arrow secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this guy had been thinking for too long, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Now we are dirty, we can't write a contract." You can come back to the guild with us later, and I'll write it to you. ”

"Huh, contract? Forget it, I don't believe in contracts or anything like that. Keep those pieces of paper for your own teaching. ”

Cream rubbed her hands together and pointed at Arrow, "For your sake, I'll believe you once." In the future, as long as I come to get the money, the amount is right. Don't you want to know my secret? I'll tell you now. Not much, just three, I have summarized them as three rules of retreat, and once any of them are in effect, then the adventure must end immediately. If you want me to help us go on this adventure, you must follow these three rules. ”

"First, once you encounter a magical beast that you have never seen before, and your life is in danger during the battle, you must retreat immediately."

Arrow thought for a moment and nodded: "I see, since I can meet a demonic beast that I have never seen once, I will definitely meet a second time." Since the first time is life-threatening, it is natural that you should not take the risk of the second time. ”

Cream smiled: "Clever, just a little bit." Second, if you feel unprepared in battle, you must retreat immediately. ”

Ai Luo clapped his hands: "Today is the second situation, our guild is obviously underprepared. It has become a shortcoming in combat effectiveness. ”

Cream: "The third is that when you encounter a thing, or a problem, or a decision, if you can only get through it by taking risks, then you must retreat. ”

Hearing the third one, Brad in the back couldn't help it: "You're talking nonsense!" We are adventurers in the first place, and when we encounter a difficult situation that we can't get through without taking risks, we have to retreat immediately? I don't think you understand anything! ”

Compared with Brad's unhappiness, Airo nodded his head and thought for a while. Soon, he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and nodded heavily: "I understand." Adventurers never take risks. Of these three laws, this one is the most valuable lesson. ”

Cream smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "These are the three retreat experiences I have summarized, as for whether you agree with me or not, I don't care, anyway, I have already told you." If it's no problem, the next time I come to get the money, you have to prepare more for me, I'm a very careful person, and I will count the iron coins one by one! Ha ha! ”

After saying that, the guy took his backpack and turned around and walked happily. It doesn't seem like he's going to act with Arrow and his party at all.

Since the commission was completed, Arrow also took his guild members to clean up in the camp, carrying pots and pans, carrying the tent and stuffing it into his backpack.

"Brother President, what is this?"

Coco, who was packing her luggage, saw that Airo was carrying a bag of marijuana and asked curiously.

Arrow smiled and said, "I'll tell you when I go back, don't worry." ”

Coco let out an "oh" and continued to clean up.

Everyone left the mine before the sun had completely set, descended the mountain, and left the Eternal Sleep Mountains.

The speed of the return trip was much faster than the departure journey, and the group arrived outside the town at about seven o'clock. However, in order to prevent the smell from attracting the attention of the townspeople and tarnishing the reputation of the Mermaidsong Guild, Arrow decided to wait a little longer. It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening, when the whole town had almost fallen asleep, that the Arrows quietly entered the town and slipped in front of the guild gate.

"We're back!"

Carrying a lot of things in large bags and small bags, Airo didn't have time to open the door with the key, so he could only kick the door twice.

After a while, the door opened.

"Yo! We'll come back—"

Bumper ——!

The door slammed shut again, and at the same time, Napa's almost hoarse voice came from inside—

"Good-smelly-ah——! Did you go swimming in the?! ”

Arrow knew if this was his own, and now he could only smile bitterly and continue to knock on the door: "Open the door!" Napa, Vice President, we don't want to do that either, that's it when the mission is done. Let's go in and take a shower, don't leave us outside. ”

The door opened again, and Napa's two little paws covered her nose, her whole face covered with disgust.

"What the hell is going on with you guys?! Why do you stink so much! I can accept a lady coming out and doing her own business, but is it a job for a lady to come back with such a stinky appearance?! ”

Arrow was a little nervous, and Coco on the side didn't know anything, but she was trembling with fear. She quietly hid behind Arrow, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Coco's expression, Napa knew she had said the wrong thing. It shook its head, let the crowd in, and closed the door.

"Then let's go take a shower......"

"Don't, let you bathe like this, then the whole guild will be closed."

Napa continued to cover her nose and circle around the group, and then her body shook, and her body once again exuded magic.

"Purification."

In an instant, Arrow felt a gentle feeling permeate his body, and after just a few seconds, he was pleasantly surprised to find that all the blood stains on his body had disappeared. Again, the taste is loose and clean.

"Wow...... It's a great magic ......."

Coco looked at her clean robe, and her eyes almost twinkled with stars.

Brad and Parfay take Arrow's backpack and place it on the table and go to the kitchen to get water.

Arrow, rubbing his shoulders, sat happily on the bar chair, and said with a smile, "You can purify magic?" It's fantastic. The price of a bottle of purification potion is very valuable! It will be much more convenient to have you! ”

Napa landed back on the cushion and snorted coldly, "Later? Who said they didn't want me to participate in this guild event? And there's no future, next time if you still come back so dirty and smelly, please go to the pond outside and wash it and come back. Even if you have to bathe naked in the fountain in the square, I won't allow the guild to get the smell of and pee! ”

Arrow sniffed his clothes again, confirming that not only the smell was gone, but even the clothes on his body looked like they had just been washed, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, this time the preparation is not enough, next time it will be absolutely fine!" ”

Brad pulls out some bread, Parfay comes out with a jug, and Coco carries herself and Arrow's backpack up the stairs and comes down.

After eating a bit, Airo began to tell Napa about his adventure.

At first, Napa seemed unconcerned, but when she heard the paw prints, her expression began to grow serious. It wasn't until it came out after encountering the Bloody Bug that it nodded slightly.

"You've had a lot of luck, and if you do it all over again, you probably won't have that good luck coming back."

Arrow smiled and said, "Judging from the results, it's not bad, once raw and twice cooked, next time it won't be so troublesome." By the way, I brought something back. ”

As he spoke, Arrow took out the sack in the corner and placed it on the floor, carefully dismantling it.

"Okay, everyone, be careful, control your emotions, don't be nervous, but don't relax either."

After giving the order, Arrow grabbed the hem of the sack and shook it, only to hear a click, and a bloody bug poured out of the sack and stuck to the ground.

"Wow! This...... This thing! ”

As soon as he saw this bloody bug, Brad immediately became nervous, and hurriedly raised the shield in his hand to protect himself. Coco's reaction was similar, and the skeleton Xiaobai was already standing firmly in front of her, protecting the Lord wholeheartedly.

Seeing this bloody bug, Napa's face wrinkled: "Why did you bring this thing back?" Looks like you're not some kind of economics graduate, but a recycle bin graduate, right? ”

Arrow waved his hand and looked at the bloody worm with interest.

The Bloody Bug that came to the unfamiliar environment did not show the same aggressiveness as it did in the mine, but slowly climbed around. It's not fast, it's like a snail, and it's obviously very uncomfortable with this unfamiliar environment.

"There is no record of this kind of monster in the Illustrated Museum of Museums. Of course, our school's naturalist illustrated book is not very detailed, and many things are not available. ”

Arrow rubbed his hands together and carefully observed the bloodworm as he took out his pen and paper and began to draw the bloodworm's general appearance.

"But you don't smell like you're in a cave, do you? It can be seen that this kind of monster does not emit this stench when it is not killed or destroyed. ”

"However, the fact that we smell this stench clearly in the cave, and that it is very strong, only proves two things."

"First, the bugs attack each other, which leads to the exposure of this foul-smelling smell."

"Second, there should be something in the depths of the cave besides this bloody worm, and that kind of thing is likely to attack this bloody worm. Whether it's for food or for some other reason to hunt this bloody bug, at least it's a much scarier thing than this little bug. ”

After observing it for a long time, Parfay was not too scared. She lay on Brad's head and looked at the big worm that was slowly wriggling: "(Fairy language) President, you really know how to analyze." So what are we going to do next? This bug is disgusting if you don't kill it, and it stinks too much if you kill it. ”

Elo translated Parfait's language and explained in a bilingual voice, "One thing we know for sure, members, is that we will likely continue to explore this mine in the future. Therefore, we need to be able to make some progress in each exploration to pave the way for the next exploration. ”

"Do you remember that as long as we smell of these bloody bugs, they won't attack us anymore? So, I hope that this bloody worm can extract those foul-smelling substances and control them, so that we can get over the bloody bug without incident. ”

Napa snorted, "You've got a lot of ideas. It's really a shame to make you the guild leader, you should be a monster appraiser. ”

Arrow picked up the bloody worm he drew and looked at it, frowned and said, "If I could, I really want to hire an artist, but my painting is really not very good...... Alas, forget it. Vice-President, you see we have a bloody bug here, can we extract the foul-smelling substance from its body without killing it? ”

The cat circled over the bloody insect and looked around, the small ball of meat stretched out, tentatively touched it and quickly retracted: "Yes, you can, but to ensure that the monster is alive after extracting the essence of the monster, the knowledge and operational accuracy required are relatively high." ”

Arrow came up: "So...... You can't do it? ”

Napa gave him a blank look: "I have enough magic, and I also have knowledge." But this kind of precise operability is not what I am good at. Well...... By the way, there is a category of death magic that can take the essence of a creature and use it for its own use, and if you understand necromancy enough, you can extract some of the essence without harming the other person's life. If we let our little mage continue to grow, we may be able to use it in the future. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Coco, and from the eyes of this little girl, Arrow could already feel the huge pressure on her.

Sure enough, you need to train a good magician! Come on! Coco, you can do it!

"Before that, you can use some methods in alchemy to extract, but I'm afraid it can't be repeated."

Arrow said that he regretted that he still had less......
