If Iero were to define it, he would prefer to think of the Adventurer's Guild as a quest to solve troubles, rather than as a place dedicated to sending adventurers out on adventures.

After all, there always seems to be an infinite number of ways to solve a problem. Sometimes you can use adventurers to force your way through, but other times, you can use some means to solve these difficult problems at first glance.

The next day, Merfolk Song hires people in Pelican Town. With the autumn harvest already busy and the market closing, it wasn't hard to find some able-bodied but idle townspeople.

The Mermaid Song took the townsfolk to the Shining Forest, and in just two days, truckloads of wood were transported from the Shining Forest to Swan Castle, and piled up around the entire Swan Castle. It's also fortunate that Mermaid Song has a good reputation in the town on weekdays, and Airo only spent 8 silver coins to complete these things. Of course, please still have to be invited to dinner.

Early in the morning of the third day, Arrow and the people of Merfolk Song came to the outside of Swan Castle again, and looked up at the fortress that towered over the plain.

He felt the direction of the wind and confirmed that it was a breeze and suitable for ignition. Then he looked at the grass around the castle and made sure that the lawn near the firewood area had been dug up, and that there was no place for the flames to fly......

"Guys, prepare. Although we don't have to enter the castle, we still need to be ready for battle. ”

With Arrow's order, the heavily armed Brad had already clenched the hammer and shield in his hand, staring at the castle in front of him with all his attention. It seemed that if anything dared to burst out of it, he would be the first barrier to that thing. Coco is now waving her steel wand, and the undead soldiers and skeleton dogs are immediately guarding her side. Even Cream now pulled out two fanged daggers and glanced at the Shadow Ring on his ring finger, silently vigilant.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Arrow nodded, and the fire was lit, and he shoved the torch into the pyre.

In the beginning, the fire didn't burn so quickly.

After all, Eero didn't buy fuel, so he could only watch the flames devour the wood bit by bit that he didn't know how many years it had grown.

However, after about two or three minutes, the flames began to rise, the smoke billowed out, and the huge heat began to smoke the faces a little.

Seeing that the situation was almost complete, Arrow asked Brad to push another cart full of wood over, set the wood on fire, and thrust it hard into the castle's only entrance.

The glow of the flames rushed into the sky, and Airo even had to take a few steps back.

Growing flames began to consume the castle, and soon the vines on the castle became the fuse of the flames, channeling these destructive forces to every corner of the building.

The flammable materials that had been piled up in the castle for a long time were activated at this moment, and with those soaring flames, the Gangshi Castle, which had thought that time had stood still forever, finally ushered in its own glory again!

"What are you doing?!"

Just as Arrow was admiring the flames, a voice came from behind involuntarily.

Turning his head, he saw that it was the Viscount Ruichi.

Seeing the viscount looking at the burning castle with a horrified expression, Arrow could see that his heart must be dripping blood.

"I ask you what the hell are you doing!!"

Seeing the flames engulfing his castle, Viscount Ruichi was excited and immediately grabbed the collar on Arrow's chest. Arrow hurriedly dodged to the side and hid behind Brad, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Viscount, we are helping you clean up the castle." Don't you think that after a long time, only a flame can cleanse it of all the filth? ”

Viscount Ruichi was now panicked, and he looked at the castle he had bought for so many gold coins with his mouth wide open, and saw that it was now completely immersed in flames. Angry and frightened, the viscount stretched out his hand and pointed at Arrow viciously: "What purification?!" I'm going to let you clean up my castle! It's not for you to set it on fire!! That's my castle! It cost me three hundred gold coins to buy the castle!! How can you just set it on fire? How can this be! Quick, hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! I order you to hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The viscount frantically gave orders, but the two bodyguards behind him watched the fire, how could they step forward and put out the fire?

But just when His Excellency the Viscount was furious and wanted to rush over again to catch Arrow to settle the score......

"Squeak——!

A terrible scream was about to burst out of the castle. Then, a rotting spider about the height of Brad jumped out of the gate in panic with a miserable green glow and a fire burning on its back.

"Alert!"

Seeing that the rotten spider had finally escaped, Arrow didn't care about the viscount and immediately gave an order. The members of the guild also immediately formed a battle formation to guard against the rotten spiders in front of them.

However, it was obvious that the flames had consumed a lot of the strength of the Rotten Spider, and it didn't want to pounce on Arrow and the others at all, but kept running around, as if it wanted to extinguish the flames on its back. But the faster it ran, the more the flames burned, which made it even more panicked.

Finally, in a panic, the rotting spider rushed towards Brad in a daze. Brad immediately sank down, the spiked shield in his hand slamming into the head of the rotting spider.

The power of this collision is not trivial, with the strength of a demonic beast of this size to charge with all its strength in a panic, I am afraid that it is definitely no less than Merlin's Fire Spirit Impact!

But Brad, who had been shocked by the Fire Spirit Impact Shield before, now stopped after only shaking his body. This is a very satisfying result.

"Do it!"

At the sound of Cream's shouts, the undead soldier quickly circled to the side of the Rotten Spider and slashed off one of its feet with a single sword. On the other side, the skeleton dog also bites the foot on the other side, so that it cannot move freely. It was also at a moment beyond its control that Cream leaped high from behind Brad, and two fanged daggers stabbed into the head of the Rotten Spider with unmistakable precision, and then twisted it with great force.

Under the flames, the rotting spider stopped.

The Guild members of Merfolk Song didn't have time to cheer, as the next rotting spider screamed out of the fire......

Waiting for work, the others stood in front of the flame castle, silently watching the rotten spiders rush out, and then stepped forward to kill.

Such an operation is not only safe, but also convenient. Otherwise, Arrow would never have believed that his guild could deal with so many rotten spiders in one go, which was a miracle! Even the Viscount of Ruichi finally shut up after seeing so many rotten spiders running out of his castle.

The flames burned all day, and even at night there was no sign of subsidence. The flames lit up the night, and the townspeople in Pelican Town knew that Eero was going to burn down the castle, otherwise they would have thought that some terrible summoning ritual was going on here.

Arrow glanced at the rotting spiders lying on the ground and counted them, five. And the body size is a large type. It seems that these rotten spiders should belong to the stronger type, and those who are weaker may not even be qualified to escape and be killed.

But just when Arrow was glad about this, and was about to call the guild members back and come back early tomorrow morning, suddenly! Something at the top of the castle moved, and then jumped out of the lookout!

That's a rotting spider!

The beast fell heavily on the ground outside, but because the mermaid song was blocked at the main entrance of the castle, the rotting spider was far away from everyone. It struggled to its feet, swaying slightly, its burned skin smoking. But even so, this rotting spider took advantage of the night and quickly ran towards the east.

"Brother President! Another one! ”

Arrow looked up and saw two more rotten spiders jumping from the lookout, and finally struggled to get up and followed the footsteps of the rotten spider in front of him and quickly headed east.

Brad was a little nervous and asked, "President, are we going to hunt down?" ”

Arrow thought about it, and finally shook his head: "Now that it's dark, it's not good for us to rush to chase and kill." What's more, these rotting spiders are obviously not as big as the ones here, and it seems that only some of the smaller and weaker rotten spiders can climb the lookout. Since none of them are strong, they should not pose any threat to the town. They're running in the opposite direction of Pelican Town, and since they won't bother the townspeople, we can't afford to chase them. ”

Now that Arrow has given the answer, Brad doesn't have to say anything more.

The fire continued to burn for a day and night, and Arrow told his guild members to go back to sleep and get some rest. It was not until the next day that the flames were completely extinguished.

At dawn, everyone returned to the Swan Castle.

Under the clear sky, the burnt Swan Castle looks extraordinary...... Chart black.

Originally, Arrow also thought that although this castle was old, it was full of vines up and down, and it also had a different charm. It's like the romantic feeling of an ancient castle where a beautiful princess is imprisoned, just waiting for some brave man to come to the rescue.

But now...... Well, well, black swans can also have a different kind of charm.

"My ...... Swan Castle ......"

With a thud, Viscount Ruichi knelt in front of his castle.

He was dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his hands and feet were a little disobedient.

Arrow knew that it was best not to provoke the viscount at this time, but it was better to finish what he had to do.
