Chapter 16: Bounty Column (Part II)

Just as Barrett's mind was once again immersed in the memory, an adventurer, tall and fat, so fat that he could barely see his neck, walked up to him.

The adventurer wore a dark green woollen tunic covered with sleeveless double thick leather armor of the same color, a one-handed battle axe hanging from each side of his waist, and a wide light gray cloak embroidered with fir patterns draped over his shoulders.

The cloak was large enough to envelop the adventurer, and his round shape made him look a little funny.

The chubby adventurer glanced at the bounty bar, and then at the brute: "Caesar, hah, it seems that you are still remembering this old 'friend' of yours." ”

The name of the adventurer who spoke was nicknamed "Big Bird Rob", although his real name was not Rob, but Dick, but because his guy was really big, no joke, really big!

Dick, as a male, was apparently pleased with the nickname, and never mentioned his real name since.

There is a popular ballad in that novel, which is often sung in taverns in various cities, and each time it warms up the atmosphere of the tavern. The ballad goes something like this:

"Rob's head is a little silly, but he's big, and the women snicker when they see him, because he's more than big, hey, hey, the women say he's like a horse, because he's more than big, and the women love him madly because he's more than big......"

Barrett turned his head to look at the speaker beside him, then moved his gaze back to the bounty bar, "Remembrance? "A bloodthirsty monster, I don't think anyone will remember it." ”

"Definitely. The prominent speaker nodded, "How many of our peers have been killed by it?" I remember that the Misty Castle counted over 500, but you know, there are only more unlucky people who aren't counted. ”

Misty Castle counts the number of adventurers' deaths and the causes of death every year, but due to the particularity of the Misty Forest and the chaotic mobility of adventurers in the Bay of Pigs, these statistics are often inaccurate. Every year, many unknown adventurers disappear silently, and no one knows where they have been, and no one cares if they ever return.

"Big Bird Rob" lifted the belt that had been dropped by two one-handed battle axes and continued, "It was a relief to see this guy's head hanging from the gate of Misty Castle. ”

"Breathe a sigh of relief? No, you can never be 'relieved' in the Misty Forest. Barrett shook his head, "Otherwise you won't have a chance to suck them back again." ”

"Please, I'd better save these words to educate the newcomers who don't know anything, but only know how to do goblins. "They will look at you with adoration, take your words as truth, and wait for you to fill them in one by one." ”

Rob and Barrett have a good relationship. A long time ago, they had stayed together in a group of adventurers called "Black" for a short time, and then the leader of the team hung up and the team dispersed. Rob joins another team of adventurers called "Lazy Woman Cavily", while Barrett takes the lead and becomes the "feeder" of the Misty Forest.

Speaking of this, Rob's tone changed again, and he said with some fear: "But really, you can't be too careful in the Misty Forest. ”

A group of well-dressed knights patrolled past Barrett and the two, and almost every knight went up to pat Rob on the fat ass wrapped under his cloak as they passed by.

"Hey, I'll have to pay for another shot!" Robert shouted, "a 'griffin' once, thank you for your patronage!Oh, Captain Burton, if it's you, I can give you a 20% discount!"

"Only the butts of the women in the thorn tent are worth the price, and you, even if you want to, no one will buy them. The bearded knight captain stopped and taunted Rob.

Everyone likes to joke with Rob, he is like a funny clown in the circus, not only in shape, but also in personality, which makes everyone want to go up and tease, and Rob himself is not disgusted by this.

Only one of the knights patted Barrett on the shoulder as he passed by. Barrett recognized it as Grand Knight Wren, the second son of the Miller family in Galano City, and his younger brother was also a knight of the Golden Alfalfa Knights, who was smashed into a strawberry pie by Caesar, the four-armed demon ape, through the griffin helmet, during a mission to clear the Misty Forest.

Barrett and Knight Wren nodded at each other and passed by. When the knights were far away, he turned to look at Robert again, "After you were injured last time, I thought you weren't going to do this. ”

"I really didn't want to do it at the time because the injury really almost killed me. The well-liked fat adventurer palpitated, "You know, I had a hole in my chest at the time. He gestured with his hand, "Well, it's right next to the ** on my left." The wound was small, the thickness of a finger, but it hurt my fragile heart. ”

He exhaled, and then reached into the leather armor and touched the location of the wound before, "Can you imagine it? That mutated porcupine can shoot the thorns on its back, and it is faster than a crossbow arrow, and the leather armor can't stop it! ”

I can imagine that even a weak jerboa would give it my all. "So, in the Misty Forest, you can never breathe a sigh of relief. Barrett repeated.

"The porcupine was bigger than a dog, squeaking and screaming like a mouse. Otter Wag was still teasing him in front of the guy, and Terry was a little impatient and told us to hurry, so I was going to give it a hard bite from the side, I haven't tasted porcupine yet. But before I could kill it, it knocked me down in advance. Except for the time when I was dumped by a girl from my neighbor's house, my heart has never been hurt so badly. ”

"Then she must not know any of your strengths. Barrett teased. It's rare for him to make a joke, just because the other party is Big Bird Rob.

"It's a shame, she knows. We grew up together and often went to the river to bathe together. I also knew she had a brown birthmark on her left buttocks, which looked like a chickadee. I don't know why, but whenever I see a bird like a chickadee, that half of my ass always comes to mind. ”

Following these words, the carcass of a certain burgundy girl seemed to appear in front of Barrit's eyes again, and he sighed inwardly, "How's that wound now?" he asked casually.

"It's healed, but it's left with a scar that's not too big, the size of a pig's. Rob pouted, "But at least he saved his life." ”

"So you have three a**s," Barrett laughed.

"So to speak. Robert disagreed, "But one of them is deflated." Even if they weren't deflated, they wouldn't be of any other use. The chubby adventurer stretched his hand to his back and scratched hard through the leather armor, as if he felt that this was not very relieving, and put his hand into the leather armor again, and scratched it vigorously a few times.

"When you left with that dwarf, I knew you would come back one day. Rob said to Barrett, "But I didn't expect it to be so soon, and it seems that the adventure life out there is not going well." ”

Barrett didn't answer, "What about you?" he asked Rob, "Didn't the injury last time scare you?"

"I didn't want to do this anymore, but after going back to my hometown and plowing the land for two days, I felt that it was really boring to be a farmer. Plus, because I owe some money because of the game, you know, my luck is always not good, so I just came back......"

At this moment, a melodious horn sounded, and Barrett knew that it was a sign that the 'toe gap' under the southern walls of the Misty Castle had opened, and the adventurers laughed with each other and rushed towards the city gate.

"Hey! The door is open, I've got to go find Terry. Rob said, "Let's get together another day." ”

Barrett nodded, and silently added in his heart, if we can all come back alive.

Not far away, Barrett saw Old Will beckoning to him, and walked to the group of Junior Novel, preparing to leave for the Misty Forest......
