"At that time, I climbed the cliff along the green vines as usual. The jungle in front of me was no different from before, and I thought to myself that it would be great if I could find a magic lotus. Of course, this is just a thought, even if I really found the magic lotus, I will not collect it, I will leave it in place and grow quietly. If this extremely rare magic material falls into my hands, it will be overkill, and only a mage will be able to exert its true effect. ”

At the dinner table, Sean, the master herbalist, recounts his perilous experience to the crowd, mainly his wife. The crowd (mainly his wife) listened intently, nodding and smiling from time to time.

Barrett chewed on the honey-roasted quail in his mouth, and the flesh and bone creaked. His eyes stared blankly at the darkness outside the window, while his mind was planning his journey for tomorrow.

The little ghost sat beside the brute, his little face raised high, his eyes staring at the roasted quail in Barrity's hand without blinking, and the little hand was hesitantly stretched out, as if he wanted to grab a little from the brute's mouth, but quietly retracted in mid-air.

The dwarf mage Theodore Shinkin and Phyllis the parrot discuss the details and contents of the temporary magic contract. The parrot intends to be a temporary pet for the little mage, so that the strength of both sides will be greatly enhanced, which will be of great help to the next adventure. After all, judging from the four items that need to be obtained, fierce battles should be unavoidable, and they are likely to happen several times in a row.

Felix, the bard, played with a burlap mask in his hand as he ate the last bits of bacon and beans left on his plate. The front of the mask depicts the face of a small green-skinned goblin, with only two small holes exposed in the eyes, which looks very mediocre in terms of breathability.

The mask was obtained by the bard from a somewhat sturdy female villager in the village in a humorous and 'fun' ballad. It is said that it was originally a powerful female villager who snatched and picked up a goblin lair on the way to chop wood.

After listening to the bard's ballad, the female villager with a tender face "invited" the silly bard into her home, and in the end, if it wasn't for Sean's son Andy going to Barrett and the others in time and bringing them all over, then what might happen later is simply unimaginable!

Well...... , in fact, it's not too bad, anyway, it's just some ulterior deals.

Andy, the little boy who had disturbed a good deed for a female villager, was eating the dessert in front of him alone at this time, a salty and sweet creamed carrot, as if he was used to being left out in the cold.

"The air in the jungle is quite fresh, because it's morning, and if it's noon or mid-afternoon, the air becomes extra warm and soft, like your breath!" said Sean to his wife, again succeeding in making her face crimson.

This guy didn't see it, he was still a veteran of the love scene! Barrett secretly kept this sentence in his heart, in case he went to 'Shirley's Whisper' in the future, he would find an opportunity to use it.

"Along the way, I picked some 'valerian' and 'tranquilizer' first, because I remember old Dean mentioned to me that he has not been sleeping well lately and has the same nightmare repeatedly, so I plan to use valerian and tranquilizer flowers, plus some mint, and make some herbal tea. Then I found a big clump of 'caraway nuts', Yuna, remember, I told you that this stuff is not only good for digestion and good for the stomach, but it also acts as a spice to put into dishes and bread. ”

The herbalist brags to his wife about his catch, and Barrett thinks of the village chief's strange request to fight him.

Defeat the village elder in battle, who is not only mysterious, but also seems to have some skills, and then he will be his companion and go with Barrett and the others to find one of these items. But if the battle is lost, then the loser must stay in the village and become a villager here......

"Then I went to the 'Venian Falls', washed my face in the 'Venian River', and ate the mashed potato pie you prepared for me. The meatloaf was so delicious that it made me feel energized again. Sean and his wife continued to eat the buttered carrot in front of him, while their son, Andy, continued to quietly eat the creamy carrot in front of him.

"However, when I crossed the Venian, I didn't go far before I saw a few goblins sneaking around me, and little by little they were getting closer. But don't worry, a few little goblins won't bother me. I swung my cane to scare them, and even hit one of the goblins in the head, causing them to scream and run away. ”

"My love is always so heroic, but you must pay more attention to safety in the future!" said Sean's wife, Yuna, with a worried face.

After hearing this, Barrett suddenly felt that the third honey-roasted quail in his hand was a little tired, and he couldn't eat it. He put the roasted quail, which had not much meat left, back on the plate, and found the little ghost beside him, staring at the roasted quail in a daze. The brute couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and touched the little ghost's head with his left hand.

There was a bone-chilling chill in his palm, but he had gradually become accustomed to it......

"Not long after the goblins disappeared, something even more terrible happened! Several trolls suddenly appeared from behind a dragon's blood tree. I've been gathering herbs in the jungle for over a decade, and I've never seen a troll there. These ugly monsters roared at me and rushed at me. I turned around and tried to run, but I didn't know when a group of orcs suddenly surrounded me. By the way, do you remember, Yuna, the orc attack on the village seven or eight years ago? ”

"Of course I remember when I was pregnant with Andy. A horde of terrifying orcs suddenly surrounded the village, but it really frightened everyone. Luckily, a group of passing travelers appeared in time to eliminate the orcs with the village chief. ”

"No, I thought I had already dealt with all those orcs, but now it seems that some remnants have escaped into the jungle. Sean guessed, "But why didn't they come out all those years ago?"

Because we hadn't come yet. Barrett sneered.

"Don't talk about that. Anyway, after I encountered those orcs and trolls, I began to flee in a panic, and I didn't know where to throw the cane I was holding. That cane has been with me for a long time, and it's a pity to lose it. Sean said regretfully, "At that time, I couldn't escape, so I had to climb to the nearest maple tree." After that, as I told you, these good Samaritans destroyed the monster and saved me from the tree. ”

Sean and his wife once again thanked Barrett and the others, and the two sides ended the dinner in a friendly and warm atmosphere.

......

Sean didn't have a lot of rooms in his house, just enough to settle Barrett and the others, thanks to the fact that there were many people in their adventure party who didn't need to take up too much space.

The dwarf mage, the bard, and Phyllis the parrot live in the room of the little boy Andy, who lives with his parents.

As for Barrett, because of his size, he couldn't stretch out when he was crammed together with the dwarf mage and others, so he lived alone in the attic.

Oh, and it's not accurate to say "alone", because the little ghost is still with him in the ring.

Barrett took out the gilded treasure chest from the spatial ring, the lock on which had been opened after the dinner, and the contents of the chest had been examined, a necklace made of troll fangs, a black stone battle axe, and a strange light blue bottle of liquid.

Because Barrett is the captain, and he is the only one in the team who has a space ring with the dwarf mage, everyone decided to put everything they got from the journey with him, and then find an opportunity to distribute it.

The barbarian, who had not yet fallen asleep, took the three items out of the treasure chest, then took another deep breath and prepared to begin the identification.
