Section 23: Dinner is like a battlefield
Marlin's suggestion was quickly carried out, and Colin had no choice after checking the hallway and observing the situation on the second floor through the large hole - he could not have the ecclesias' agents and punishers attack a spider mother's nest with spider silk all over the ground, and the loss of any one of the spiders could not compensate.
The owner of the house also has no authority to make the church pay for it - first, he is not a believer in the church; Second, the site is under the jurisdiction of the church, which has the power to purify the place by any means; Third, in addition to explaining to the guild why there is such a large nest of spiders in his house, the owner also needs to explain to the church why the ghoul is on his first floor.
It's normal for this thing to appear on the outskirts of the city, because no matter how well the city is defended, it can't stop all the spirits, especially the ghouls who are not sensitive to the sewer environment, they will invade the city through the sewers and coastline, and this is the center of the city, and the chance of such a monster appearing is like winning the lottery issued by the Church of Luck.
Fort Carter had only one lucky winner in ten years, and not long after that, it was revealed that he had used a very powerful mysterious relic to interfere with the lottery ceremony, so the lucky man had to flee the country, but his property and real estate were not so lucky.
Then again, Marlin's method is not bad, the body of the spider mother is valuable, it was dragged out of the house after the arthropits were cut off, and the ghoul has some materials on it that are also valuable, it was dragged out of the house, and the remaining spiders are not of much value.
So the flames enveloped the entire second floor, and some spiders and arthropods jumped out of it, but they didn't run far before they died from the flames they brought out - the flamethrower used by Lao Bao is a gelatinous incendiary substance, which can attach to the target after being sprayed out of the alchemy tool, and become contaminated with this kind of thing, waiting for the victim only to die, or choose a strong man to break his wrist before the flames burn him.
Unfortunately, arthropods don't have the brain capacity to think about what it means to give and take.
So, that's why arthropod spirits rarely have the potential to become terrifying - because they're so easy to target, you dig a trap and don't cover it up, any animal spirit will choose to avoid the spikes and blades, and the arthropod spirit will rush over and turn itself into pieces.
This is the sorrow of having no brains.
Seeing the house on fire, and making sure that no more spirits were jumping out of it, Colin declared the mission over.
"The battle in the western part of the city is over, and the high-level demon hunter dragged out four terrifying-level xenomorphs from there, and one demon hunter was not lightly injured."
The news from the west side of the city made Marin finally put his mind at ease - that kind of threat really can't be taken lightly, if the place Marin they just purified is a little trouble, then the west of the city is a standard henchman, and there will be greater danger if it is left for one more day.
"Why, don't you feel a little discouraged that you can't join that kind of battle?" Colin noticed the unhappiness on Marlin's face, and he asked with a smile.
Marin nodded: "I feel that I am still too weak, I want to become stronger, to be able to protect myself and others." ”
This is what Marin has always thought, he doesn't want tragedy to happen again, he wants to protect himself, and he also wants to protect the little leopard girl with a thick tail who always calls himself Marin's brother.
"How old are you, don't worry too much, you're going to get stronger." Colin smiled and patted Marlin's head, then turned around and walked to the carriage: "Let's go, let's go back to church, by the way, since we have two corpses of spirits today, your instructor and I will teach you how to dissect spirits and obtain materials." ”
"Is it a new course?"
"Yes, the new course, the tricks that teach you how to make a lot of money, and the basis of how you can become stronger, your ideas will wait for your adoptive father, His Excellency Gaiat, to come back, and I will talk to him." Unfastening the rope and handing the shotgun to the logistician, Colin stood by the carriage and waited for Marlin to hand over his weapon, and when he came to the front, the young man reached out and lifted him to the carriage.
………………
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Marin was a little eager to see the anatomical art of this world, but the start was not good, and the halfling instructor expressed his dissatisfaction with Colin taking his apprentice to a dangerous place, so Colin had to talk to the little lady for half an hour, and after repeated reassurances, he passed her level.
Then the morning anatomy class ended five minutes earlier.
So he asked Colin to contact the anatomy class in the afternoon, and Marin sat down in a chair and began to wait for the church's apprentice cafeteria to open.
Speaking of which, eating is a very happy thing for Marin, because every time he holds the board, he is hungry, and every piece of bread, every snack, every piece of barbecue and sauce noodles is the best gift for his stomach.
Because he came back from going out, Marin was naturally in the first place, even if he didn't stand in front of the door, the seniors who rushed in also subconsciously lined up behind Marin.
It's not that they don't have guts, but those who have the guts are all scared.
The legend of being undefeated empty-handed, the first person in the apprenticeship class of the Fort Carter Church, the cute baby-faced Fist of Steel...... Phew, the last one doesn't count, anyway, Marin has been fighting with his fists for more than half a year.
The lid on the door of the restaurant was opened, and a bald hunk looked at the silent waiting hall, first a little curious, and then suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look under the door, after confirming the stupid hair on the head of a certain humanoid monster, he opened the door with a smile: "I said why is it so quiet today, you little guy is here." ”
"Yes, we're all hungry." Marin nodded, followed by Maya and Faye, who were the first to fight, with two girls, and no one dared to say anything.
Yes, those who dare to say it are afraid, and those who dare to be reasonable are ...... Marin didn't fight either, let Maya sell a cute, and everything would be fine.
And the church teachers seem to be pretending not to see all this—they are educating their children very strictly in other places, except in the matter of eating, and they are educating them in a 'herding' way—and being weak means not even having enough to eat.
Orderly queue, orderly dining, there is no usual situation where the cubs fight for a front and back ranking, bald and macho, Uncle Kogan, the head of the church restaurant, specially put a piece of barbecue for Marindo.
"If only you come here to eat every day, I don't have to throw those little cubs out who mess up the dining environment." When Marin handed over the meal card and asked the cashier to manually record the payment, Machoo sighed while putting an extra fish for Maya.
"But here, big fists are always the last word." Marin looked up at the big man and said.
"yes, damn the rules." Uncle Macho sighed, and then added a plate of snacks to Fayedo.
Marin wrapped the two girls' meals with his meal card, and then led them to the three-seater not far away.
The senior student stood in front of the bald hunk and smiled a little flatteringly.
The bald head holding the spoon glanced at this guy up and down, and his lips opened lightly: "Get out!" ”
Marlin frowned when he noticed a big man taking their place first, and he led the two girls to the other three-seater.
Then another big man walked over and sat down first.
Marin was silent for a moment, put the dinner plate on the long table next to him, and turned his head: "Which class are they from?" ”
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the fist that came from him.
"Fourth grader! Transfer Students! The senior student with a swollen face replied, his indignant appearance and swollen face, like a young historian who had been beaten badly because of his conscience.
"Transfer students, looks like you've learned the rules in the Fort Carter apprentice's cafeteria, right?" Looking back at the big man who was clutched into his fist by his small hand: "The first time, it's up to the point." ”
"Less nonsense! Our brothers are not pieces of waste! The other big guy just picked up the chair.
Marin gave way to the chair, and Mayer had already retreated from Faye, so Marin, who had no worries, pushed the big man he grabbed back to the ground with one hand, and then gently 'kicked' the fist he withdrew on the lower abdomen of the big man who was waving in the air.
Really, very lightly, because the kid was screaming in pain and falling to the ground, not being broken by Marlin with a punch and passing out.
That's what the apprentice mentor asks of a hybrid-hybrids like Marin - no matter what, don't die.
In this world, as long as no one is killed, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured, and the regeneration of severed limbs is not a problem.
Three peers rushed out of the queue, Marin picked up the chair with both hands, broke off a chair leg from it with one hand, the hollow iron rod in his left hand first pushed away the long leg of the kick, and turned sideways to let the other person pounce, and the iron rod in his right hand stabbed the third person's calf, and the strong stimulation brought by the crisp fracture made the guy scream and fall to the ground.
The iron rod in the right hand once again swept away the big hand that the first person had caught, and the iron rod in the left hand hit the head of the big man who had just risen, knocking him to the ground - it hit the socket of the tooth, although the technique of resuscitation of the tooth would bring a lot of intense pain, but at least he was alive, wasn't it.
With a swing of his left hand to the finish line, the iron rod came out of his hand, freed him from the chair and the table, and pounced on the two girls to blackmail her so that Marin's big body could be knocked over in front of Maya and Faye.
The two girls kicked the kick right in the middle of the crotch, so the big man was directly angry, and it was obvious that he would not wake up for a while.
With some relief, he clenched his fist and hit the big man in the face again.
Nosebleeds and front teeth danced, wails and blood were the same color, Marin threw away the iron rod in his right hand and picked up the board from the long table: "Kogan! Let your people come out and scrub the floor! ”
The queue was silent, everyone with their heads bowed, but Marin was sure that many of them were happy.
The strong dragon can't overwhelm the snake on the ground, what a favorite drama.
At this time, some house-goblins came out of the back kitchen, they took spare tables and chairs, and replaced them with damaged kinds, and then some of them dragged the unlucky ones out of the dining room, and the others followed the cleaning with mops.
………………
Colin contacted the instructor of the anatomy class, simply ate in the church's staff cafeteria, and then took Margaret back to the apprenticeship cafeteria to see her sister, just in time to see the five transfer students hanging in the door of the cafeteria.
Colin immediately felt that something was wrong - the last time these five little bastards were in the Central Province church apprenticeship class was because they had acted excessively in the Central Province, and their family had connections, the local church could not deal with them, so they could only be transferred to Fort Carter, hoping that after staying away from the Central Province, they could grind their anger.
"Marlin hit me?" Colin asked the house-goblin who was cleaning the mop at the door.
The house goblin raised his head, and the owner of the pure black pupils nodded: "Yes." ”
"There's still the strength to call, it's okay." Margaret didn't care - as a member of the most powerful family in this country, in her eyes, the parents of these little bastards didn't even have the power to talk to her directly.
So the two of them walked into the dining room and saw Marin killing all sides at the table.
"Isn't it hard to work this morning?" Margaret glanced at Colin: "Every time I watch Marlin eat, I think you must not have eaten enough." ”
"I'm not a frost-giant hybrid." Colin watched this kid take a bite of barbecue, and he was also extremely devastated-if he was allowed to raise such a child, he would definitely eat him poor.
"Ah, Colin, is it okay?" At this time, Marin also noticed the two standing in the restaurant.
"Hello, afternoon, it's your private class, old Ferrero is the master of the knife, he will teach you the anatomy of spirits and xenomorphs and the acquisition of materials." Colin said.
Then he noticed the look in the kid's eyes...... The blazing heat seems to be like the joy and happiness that can only be found when you see a table full of barbecue when you are hungry for a long time.
