Chapter Ninety-Three: The Nameless Adventurer's Team
The procession marched slowly through the village.
Most of the houses in the spa village are stone houses, which are very different from the neat brick and wood houses of Garano. Barrett found that many of the buildings in the village were very old and dilapidated. Hundreds of years later, crumbling houses have been rebuilt, and abandoned walls have been converted into cattle pens, Barrett can still see the remnants of the war on the charred stone walls.
The brutal wars of the chaotic era have not completely destroyed the area, at least some of the buildings that have existed since before the empire are still standing.
Hannah picked a pale pink camellia from a nearby household and put it on her head, "Does it look good?" she asked Barrett.
The interviewee looked sideways at Hannah, and the shy look on the woman's face was no different from the **** girl. Barrett wanted to tell Hannah that this kind of delicate decoration is not for you, but when it comes to words, she can't say it.
First, because it was very contrary to her will, and her thousand countenances could fit any outfit, and secondly, because he did not dare.
But before Barrett could think of an answer, an enthusiastic compliment came from behind her, "Beautiful, Lady Hannah, the midday sun has been overshadowed by your countenance." ”
Barrett didn't have to look back to know who the speaker was, and the only person in the whole team who could be so openly complimented was the young boy named 'Brandon'.
"Thank you, Brandon. Hannah smiled behind her.
"No, that's all in my heart, Hannah. The young man seemed to be encouraged, his tone was so excited that even his honorific title changed, "I can give everything for you, even my life!"
What a young man, always thinking that if you give your life you can get everything, Barrett shook his head inwardly, but he didn't know that life was usually worthless.
Brandon wanted to step forward and squeeze between Hannah and Barritt, but after a faint glance at Hannah, he retreated back with a panicked face.
"The sun is all gone? God, that's not a good sign. Barrett heard a sigh behind him, "Without the sun, the long night will forever cover the earth, and the cold and darkness will make everything wither, and even rye will not grow." ”
The sigh sounded again, "My old grandmother told me that darkness will bring evil, and that monsters that dare to hide only in the shadows during the day will jump out at night and eat your eyes. But as long as you close your eyes and fall asleep, they won't be able to do anything about you. But people can't always sleep no, that kind of life is terrible. I don't like to sleep, and sleep makes me feel like my life is passing by inadvertently, which makes people sad. ”
The sigh never stopped, "So, if there is no sunshine, maybe the dead will shout praises for it, but it is not a good thing for those of us who are alive." Alas, if you want me to say, Ms. Hannah, you'd better pluck that flower. ”
Barrett has seen many strange personalities in his life, but the speaker, known as 'Melancholy Eddie', is undoubtedly in the top three.
"Be quiet, and don't disturb the conversation between the captain and Master Barrett. Burton, a good Samaritan with a rosacea, spoke. He was the only one other than Hannah who was self-aware of the strength of the team, so he was always worried that Barrett would run away halfway, "Sir Yarman's castle is not far ahead, and his personality is a bit old-fashioned, I hope Lord Barrett doesn't mind." ”
"I'm not an 'adult'. Barrett corrected, "Just call me 'Barrett.'" ”
"Or 'feeders' as well. Hannah added with a smile.
Barry nodded, not denying that it was better than carrying the word 'adult'. He had always thought of himself as just an ordinary adventurer, Barrett, and didn't like to be called by honorific titles.
Turning his head to look behind him, Barrett noticed that the four men behind him had different expressions: Brandon stared at him with jealousy and resentment, 'Melancholy Eddie' looked at the sky with a sad face, Burton the good Samaritan gave him a kind but ugly smile, and the 'coachman' dutifully drove the carriage, with nothing but his four mares in his eyes.
Barrett once asked Hannah privately why she wanted to form such a team that not only had no strength, but also did not even have enough cannon fodder, and this team did not even have a name, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the ridicule of others.
And this is what Hannah told him at the time, although these people have little strength and some strange personalities, but they all have the same qualities - loyalty, obedience, and the ability to completely obey her orders.
Hannah said that it was not so easy to find someone from the group of adventurers who was completely obedient to her as a woman and would not be second-hearted. She also said that even Barrett could not do that.
Barrett only smiled wryly, but did not refute it. If you want him to be completely obedient to the woman in front of you, it is better to let him start a farm with the burgundy haired girl and finish quietly.
In the end, Hannah, the woman, also said that as for the question of strength, isn't there still you.
Barrett glanced at the people behind him again, and couldn't help but think of his dwarven companion coming. Although that guy has a poisonous mouth and likes to hurt people when he speaks, his strength is undoubted, and there is a tacit understanding between them, and he doesn't need to say much at all, the dwarf knows what to do.
Wait, is that really the case? Barrett thought about it carefully, and found that the overwhelmed guys in front of him made him subconsciously beautify his former dwarven companion.
That guy, tsk, Barrett shook his head inwardly......
"Don't you really know anything else about this mission?" Barriet asked in a skeptical tone.
The content of the annotations in the [Mission Log] made him feel a little uneasy.
This is a quest that can obtain 80 soul energy, and Barrett was rewarded with 100 soul energy when he assisted the 'Dirty Novel' adventure team to go to the misty forest to catch frost bugs alive. If that task were to be completed by another team, it would have to be wiped out several times, so it is conceivable that the difficulty of this mission at the moment should not be as low as imagined.
Or, the [Quest Log] isn't a reward based on difficulty, as a normal quest to return the statue also gives 50 Soul Energy (Homecoming), and a quest that only requires a one-night sleep in a specific building gives up to 120 Soul Energy (Eve's Little Wish).
But the other two tasks only have a few twenty or thirty points, and I don't know why.
"Not really!" Hannah's big innocent eyes flashed, "Don't you believe me?"
"You guy dare to doubt the most beautiful Lady Hannah!" the nasty voice behind him sounded again, "really...... Is...... "I'm going to duel you!"
Barrett stopped and turned to look at Brandon, "Are you serious?" he asked with a blank face.
Teaching this young man a lesson would be a good thing for him, at least it would make him mature faster. Barrett thought to herself, I didn't intend to do this because I wanted to vent my frustration.
"Of course, I ......," Brandon glared back at Hannah halfway through his words.
"Let's go," Hannah patted Barrett, "I didn't expect you to be willing to duel for me." A scarlet tinge spread on her charming face.
I...... , the tall barbarian adventurer has bitterness in his heart and can't say it.
"The duel is not good, it is not good. "Melancholy Addy sighed, "Two people I know once fought a duel over the ownership of a calf, and one of them broke the other's teeth. This unfortunate man can only drink soup and oatmeal for the rest of his life, and can no longer eat meat, which is really sad. And the end of the beater was not good, he fell down the hill in the middle of the chase, and his ribs broke and pierced his heart, and there was nothing more sad than that. ”
It's not called a 'duel', it's just a fight between the villagers at best, not to mention, I can take this guy out with only half a finger, it only takes half a finger!"
"Look, the castle not far away is Sir Yarman's Lord's Palace. Burton, the good Samaritan, shouted, "I must say that Sir Yarman hates people fighting on his turf the most, so let's hurry over." ”
Alas, have all my previous good luck been used up, Barrett looked at the team in front of him and shook his head helplessly again.
