On the smooth avenue, Barrett was galloping on a 'carrot', the cold wind was whistling in his ears, and the pines and cypresses were flying on both sides.

'Carrot' was the name of his young pony, but Barrett didn't want to call it that, he wanted to give the horse a more pronounced name, such as 'Flamehoof'. If it really had Nightmare blood, as the merchant who sold it said, then 'Flamehoof' would undoubtedly be a good name.

Flamehoof may be a name that has a lot of overlap in the Nightmare family, like Andrew or George, but it's at least a lot better than Carrot. But it is a pity that this greedy and not very good-tempered horse never responds to this good name.

In addition, Barrett has given it several nicknames such as 'Chasing the Wind', 'Courage', 'Eagle Falcon', and even 'Half-breed', but no matter what name Barrett calls him, the four-legged companion will only think he is farting, and never responds.

Except for 'carrots'.

Yes, it was only when Barrett called it 'Carrot' that it leaned over, rubbed Barrit's cheek affectionately with that horse face, neighed softly like a coquettish, rummaged through his palms, and demanded something with the same name.

Barrett couldn't do anything about it.

......

The quest [Boiling Hot Springs] has been completed, and although the ending is not a happy one, it is still considered complete.

On the elegantly shaped, quaint translucent parchment of the [Mission Log], the number [80] was prominently displayed in the column of soul energy, which made Barrett happy.

As long as he completes one more task, he can collect at least 100 soul energy, and then it will fill that purple streak with this strange energy and see what happens.

This is one of the reasons why Barrett is in a hurry to leave from the spa village. From fear to curiosity, he couldn't wait to see the results later.

As for filling the soul energy into the yellow streaks and upgrading this [Mission Log]?hehe, Barrett didn't think he would have such a plan for at least for a long, long time.

[Boiling Hot Springs] was completed without danger, and after thinking about it, there were still some details that made him palpitate. Especially at the end of the mission, a terrifying big guy actually came out of the bottom of the hot spring, which really scared Barritt.

That thing was also a boiling water elemental, but it was more than five times larger than the other boiling water elements, it was really a big guy, and I don't know how such a body type escaped from the dimensional rift.

The most special thing about this large boiling water elemental (let's call it that) is not its huge size, nor the shackled neck ring around its neck, but its head.

The head of an ordinary boiling water element is just a flowing mass of water, and there is no obvious difference between the facial features. The entire shape of the head of this large boiling water elemental resembles a worm's rift - in the center of the head is a dark water hole that seems to be constantly spinning, and the hole is surrounded by water that is constantly swinging like tentacles, which is very hateful.

As soon as this large boiling water element emerged from the bottom of the hot spring, it recklessly released a thick steam blast into the surroundings. Both knights were armed with large shields in the shape of kites, and they half-crouched at the same time, huddled their entire bodies behind their shields to ward off the roaring heat wave of steam.

Although Barrett also had a shield, the small round shield on his right hand was good against swords and claws, but it was not easy to deal with such a large-scale and large-area steam impact.

However, Barrett, as an elite adventurer, naturally will not sit still and let the hot steam make his face dirty. He judged the form in an instant, and then quickly released the corpse of a steam demon bat from the spatial ring, spreading the corpse's wings and enveloping himself.

The corpse of the demon bat was one of the payments given to Barrett by Sir Yarman, and Sir Yarman did not need to be paid separately because Hannah's adventure party was employed by the Benson family. However, due to Barrett's outstanding performance in the whole purge battle, after clearing the monsters of the fourth hot spring, Jazz allowed Barrett to pick and choose the loot at will.

Of course, in addition to genuinely wanting to reward Barritt, the Jazz also had the intention of making him work better in the future battles. After all, it is foreseeable that the number of monsters in the last hot spring will be extraordinarily large.

Although Jazz promised to pick and take whatever he wanted, Barrett only took the two elemental cores and the corpses of several demon bats. The corpse of one of the demon bats was used as a shield by Barrett.

I have to say that the body of the otherworldly monster like the Steam Demon Bat is not strong at all in terms of defending against swords, but it can resist well in the face of steam and scorching water.

It's a very tortuous battle.

Originally, Sir Yarman intended to work together to kill the big boiling water elemental, just as he had killed the little brothers of the large boiling water elemental. But this big guy is not only very tall, very big, and terrifying, but also has a lot of attack methods.

It seems to rely on the energy replenishment in the rift of the plane, and the various types of spell abilities are released almost incessantly in turn—360 degrees of steam blast without dead ends, boiling water splashes, swarm boiling water arrows, water gushing out, and so on. It would be extremely difficult to even get close to the three of them, let alone eliminate this big guy.

What's more, Barrett's weapon is not a magic weapon and can't do damage to this big guy. He could only dodge and dodge like a butterfly in a storm, but he couldn't do anything else.

After several attempts, Sir Yarman's attack had no effect other than a not-so-serious pile of burns and embarrassment.

In the midst of tumbling, jumping, galloping, and moving, Barrett managed to convince Sir Yarman to abandon his plans to take out the large boiling water elemental. But this does not mean the end and retreat, because Jazz also needs to know if this big guy will not leave the hot springs like the other boiling water elements.

Barrett was so angry that he could only dodge and not fight back, and he wanted to answer in the affirmative, but he knew he couldn't.

Because this large boiling water elemental was not one of the monsters he was very familiar with in the Misty Forest, and if he misjudged, the entire hot spring village would probably be wiped out as a result.

In the end, they made all kinds of attempts to stimulate and tease this big guy. However, at that time, Dennis was already a little unable to hold on, and was even directly knocked out twice by the big guy with his thick arm, and he was in a very bad state, so Jazz let him retreat first.

Soon after, because of his vision, Jazz was hit several times by the boiling water arrow, but fortunately, his whole body armor was abnormally strong, and it seemed to be constant magic, and every time the boiling water arrow hit it, a small light curtain would faintly appear on it, plus the protection of the shield, he was not too seriously injured.

But Sir Yarman was also unable to succeed and soon withdrew. After that, Barrett was the only one left in the entire spa.

After many temptations such as throwing stones, throwing corpses, throwing copper coins, throwing recommendation votes, running away, returning, running away, and returning, Barrett was finally able to say to Jazz in an affirmative tone without a clear conscience, "Don't worry, that guy can't get out."

......

At this time, Barrett is driving to the location of another mission, Vanilla City.

It was a messenger mission, and while most of the deliveries belonged to the chauffeurs who traveled from town to town, there were many people who had more money to entrust it to adventurers. Because the adventurer will deliver the letter directly to the recipient, instead of leaving the letter in the car dealer's shop, like the coachman, and then the car dealer will send someone to distribute it uniformly.

【Task Log】

[Letters from the Ages]

[This seems to be a letter that has been eroded by time.] The surface of the envelope had been slightly yellowed, and the edges and corners around it were slightly worn, and the dark red wax seal in the center was covered with tiny cracks as small as a hair due to time. But it's still flat, without a single wrinkle, and if you look closely, you can smell the faint vanilla scent of the letter.

Please send this letter to Lady Isabell, Vanilla City, by April 20, 687 Magical New Calendar]

[Reward: 30 Soul Energy]

[Note: Love is a vanilla that grows on the edge of a cliff, if you want to pick it, you must have courage!]
