We do ordinary tasks, and the ordinary inhabitants around us are talking about ordinary things, and the ordinary gold coins will flash in ordinary ways, and they will be squandered in ordinary adventures. 】

[Reward: 25 Soul Energy]

[Note: It would be nice to have a bard singing a cheerful ditty next to you while reading the mission description.] 】

[Task Status: Completed]

Barrett then saw that on the translucent parchment of the mission, the completed task turned into a piece of fluorescence, and landed on the number representing the soul energy in the lower right corner of the parchment, and then the number changed from 10 to 35.

35 soul abilities, if you want to get skills again, you need more than 100 points. Yes, that's right, more than a hundred.

Barrett looked at the purple stripe that represented the skill upgrade, the number at the end of it had become [0/120], and the soul ability required to obtain skill points was actually 50 more than before, could it be that it would continue to increase like this in the future? This couldn't help but make him secretly vigilant in his heart.

"You are a very good adventurer, Nord, there is no doubt about it!" said the baron in front of him with a pretended deep meaning, "You have proved this to all of us with your deeds, and solved a big problem for our town. I, Karpas Coles, Baron of the Griffon Kingdom and Lord of Ganzros, on behalf of all the inhabitants of Ganzros, express my gratitude to you. ”

The baron bowed his head reservedly, and there was a round of applause around him, especially among some of the young boys.

To be honest, the feeling of being thanked was not bad, and Barrity's vanity was slightly satisfied, but it didn't make him forget the point.

"You pay the gold, and I finish the task, but I just take what I need, Lord Baron. He focused his tone on the word "gold coins", "That's how we agreed before, kill monsters, pay gold coins, and clearly understand." Again, he repeated the point.

"Don't worry, not a single gold coin is indispensable to you. The baron nodded majestically, "Well, Nord, are you interested in serving my family?" I can make you my chief knight." You're not a knight? That's not a problem, the laws of the kingdom give me that right, the sacred right to canonize the valiant as knights. What? You're not interested in the position of chief knight? Believe me, that's a glorious ......."

"This ......" A knightly guy next to the baron suddenly approached, he first smiled apologetically at Barrett, and then whispered to the baron, "My lord, have you forgotten that this 'glory' position is mine." ”

"You can go to Zhennan to collect taxes, and deal with those cunning merchants and scoundrels, I think you're better at that. The baron seemed to be very upset with the man who had interrupted his performance.

"That's my job, sir. In the midst of the militia armed with spears, a one-eyed guy suddenly complained loudly, "You promised to keep me in charge of Zhennan's taxes." You also said you would promote me to be your tax officer, yes, you said it to me the day I found out you were peeking at Miss Daisy in the shower!"

Before the one-eyed militia could finish speaking, Barrett saw the baron in front of him, whose name he had not remembered, rush in front of the one-eyed militiaman with a speed that did not match his own shape, and then covered the latter's mouth.

"Shut up, you idiot, I should have gouged out your only eye too!" the baron smiled awkwardly at the people around him after scolding, and explained aloud, "Cryford saw Rodney, it was Rodney, the guy who had nothing to do all day, peeking at Miss Daisy's shower, wasn't it!" he glared fiercely at the one-eyed militiaman in his hand.

The latter seemed to realize that he had said something that he should not have said, and nodded hurriedly as the baron moved his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, my lord," the former chief knight quickly explained, "I am a humble, upright, and brave knight....... When he said the word "brave", everyone around him laughed, but this did not interrupt the brave knight's self-redemption, "That's why I won't do such a dishonorable thing as peeking at the lady taking a bath!"

"You're a knight I personally canonized, and I know what kind of character you are. The baron also said in a loud voice, and his face was no longer as deep as before. As if in this absurd debate, whoever has the loudest voice will take the lead, "I am the lord, and besides, I don't want the position of the chief knight anymore!"

"Then you can't say that about me. The brave knight's voice was a little quieter, "Miss Daisy, a noble lady known to everyone as the 'Flower of Ganzros,' and you slandered me so much that other knights or nobles, even your retainers, would have to duel with you......!

At this time, the surrounding residents also began to whisper. They went from silent stares at each other to talking to each other, and then from time to time they pointed at the baron, the one-eyed militiaman, and the chief knight.

The various black histories of these people were whispered one after another, and quietly spread and circulated among the people, making the scene embarrassing and abnormal.

Hey, wait, what the hell are you guys doing?

The barbarian adventurer discovers that the gang in front of him actually ignores him, the big hero who saved the town from the shadow of the manticore, and then discusses some inexplicable and messy things. It really made him a little depressed.

I've just done my best for you in the cave! Can't your attention and praise last a little longer?

Do you know how terrifying the manticore is, how swift it can attack? Do you know how difficult it is to fight in a cave? Do you know that if you let it out of a cave, the battle will become more dangerous and it will be difficult to kill it completely? Do you know that it actually has wings, it can fly, it can run away, it can attack other targets? Do you know that its scorpion-tail-like needle can kill a person if you touch it at the slightest touch?

Huh? Do you know all of that?

He coughed heavily, but found that the gang of people in front of him still didn't notice him, so he had to raise his voice and shout, "I say, everyone!" His deep voice finally quieted the scene, "Before you have determined that...... Shouldn't I have paid my fair share before that peeping shower?"

The half-dried blood on his face was uncomfortable, and Barrett wiped his face and kicked the manticore corpse in front of him, "I guess this thing should be more important than the things you're talking about." ”

"Ahem, sorry. The baron pushed away the chief knight in front of him, and walked calmly in front of Barrett under the contemptuous gazes of the people around him, "You should be able to see that I am a nobleman who has no arrogance, and often jokes with my subordinates and lords, haha, haha." He smiled kindly, "Don't you really want to be my chief knight?" ”

"3 golds, 18 silvers and 26 bronzes a month, but you don't always get them on time. Someone behind the baron whispered, "Sometimes a certain adult will use grain and vegetables to offset his salary, and I still have hundreds of pounds of turnips in my house, but fortunately they are not easy to rot." ”

"If you come, you'll definitely take more than some useless fellow, and much more, I promise!" the baron smiled awkwardly.

"I just want to get my fair share right now, that's all!" Barrett said blankly.

"Of course, that makes perfect sense!" the baron looked down at the manticore's corpse, "what a terrible fellow." He muttered to himself with some fear. Then the baron raised his head and held out his hand to Barrett, and a sturdy linen bag appeared out of his hand.

"It's been ready for you, adventurer. What's your name, you told me your name, don't remind me, Barrett, yes! Barrett of Nord, I knew you could kill this monster, but no one else believed it. His other hand gestured around, then pointed at himself, "Only I believe in you!"

The Ring of Space, he was showing off to me, and Barrett pouted inwardly.

"Thank you for your trust, but it's a dangerous job, and even I can't guarantee that I'll make it out of the cave alive. "No, no matter how powerful the manticore is, if there is only one, it will not be difficult for me," so ...... "It is natural to give more gold!"

Barrett reached out and took the money pouch from the baron's hand, opened it and looked at it, smiled with satisfaction, and let it disappear into his hand.

......
