Three days later, Barrett and the group of Obscene Novelists managed to leave the Misty Forest and reach the city of Misty Castle.

During this time, the trip was generally smooth, and nothing particularly major happened. Although there were several battles, they were only small fights for this team.

Barrett and the others also encountered a group of frost spiders that the team of 'Handsome Jack' had encountered, about fifteen or so. It was a quick start and end of the encounter, with the Spider hanging up nine of his companions and retreating deep into the forest, and Barrett was the only dwarf in the group who had his shoulder cut by the frost spider's pointed legs. This battle can be regarded as a small revenge for what happened to the 'Handsome Jack' team.

The dwarf's injury was the result of an unforeseen accident.

At that time, Barrett had just cut down one of the frost spiders that had protruded in front of him, and he was a little hurried to parry the sneak attack of the other frost spider. The ice-blue spider stabbed Barrett in turn with its two blade-like front legs, moving swiftly and swiftly, quite like a half-elf fighting style.

But Barrett was still in the middle of the parry, and slashed at the joint of one of the frost spider's front legs. The front leg broke in response, and the broken part flew out with a very fast spin, and happened to hit the dwarf who was in a stealth state.

Fortunately, the wound on the dwarf's shoulder was not too big, only a shallow one like a thin line, and a little blood oozed out. But Mapra, the dwarf, had a black face all the time on the road, and seemed depressed about the way he was injured.

It's no wonder that Barritt still has the extra energy to pay attention to other people during the battle, but there is really no way to notice the dwarf in the stealth state, it can only be said that this is an unfortunate and too coincidental accident, which also indirectly shows that the stealth is still more afraid of chaotic battles.

In addition to this, there are some strange little things. One of the most special things is that they found a chicken in the Misty Forest, yes, yes, an ordinary hen that couldn't be more ordinary.

When Barrett spotted it, the hen was using her two paws, gouging something at the base of a fir tree. Sometimes it pecks with its head down, sometimes it looks up, and the chicken's head is little by little, no different from those domestic hens.

This scene is very ordinary, but in the context of the Misty Forest, it is particularly absurd.

Barrett guessed that the hen had been brought in by some group of adventurers who had just entered the Misty Forest (otherwise it wouldn't have survived until now), but for some unknown reason, maybe it was an accident, maybe there was a fight, or maybe it was just plain forgetfulness. In short, the chicken escaped from its owner and turned into a free radical, no, a free chicken.

Walking alone in the misty forest is undoubtedly a very dangerous and reckless move, even Barrett will not be able to survive in the forest alone and unharmed, let alone a free chicken.

So, Barrett, they let the free chicken be relieved from the pain of being scared all day long. They let the mushrooms and turnips accompany it, comfort it with warm flames and sweet water, and contain it with themselves, never being alone.

Old Will also chanted the classic quote of the first king of the griffin kingdom, Augsg I, "I wish all my people would have at least one pot of stewed chicken every week!"

The ogre said that it must be a good king, at least its former patriarch had never said that it should be able to eat chicken at least once a week. It can only eat crickets, beetles, and frogs. Frogs are good, but still not as good as chicken.

In the chaotic period after the fall of the Magic Empire, the region of the Griffon Kingdom was full of kingdoms, countless cities had set themselves up as kings, strange people had popped up, mixed kings were fighting endlessly, and the people were miserable.

And it is precisely by virtue of their identity as a "beast tamer" who keeps Warcraft in captivity for mages, and this classic saying that resounded throughout the continent, that the Augsge family stood out among many Chinese kings and slowly ended the chaotic situation in the western part of the continent.

A few slices of rye bread, plus a spoonful of stewed rotten chicken and beans, this is the life that people in the chaotic times yearn for the most.

In today's era, this goal is very easy to achieve, but there are still many people living in slums who live without a meal. However, the whole continent is relatively calm, and although there are constant small frictions, there has been no war for a long time.

......

Beneath the walls of the Misty Castle.

Barrett beckoned to the patrols of the Golden Alfalfa Knights on the city walls, and the small door called "Toe Gap" opened from the inside, revealing a dim passageway.

Barrett walked in first, followed by the others. This is not the regular opening time of the small door every day, so the doors on both sides of the passage will not open at the same time. When the small door behind him closed again, the entire passage was pitch black.

But Barrett had walked through it countless times, so he could easily navigate through it, even without any light. Moreover, the whole passage is not very long, and the width is quite narrow, and those who are in it only need to touch the wall and walk forward, and then they can reach another small door.

Although the barbarian was very adaptable, the other members of the team were not. Old Will took out a copper coin, cast a light spell on it, and held it up. The copper coin emitted a bright and soft light, reflecting the figures of several people on the walls of the passage, like monsters with teeth and claws.

"It's so dark here, darker than the night in the Misty Forest! The people of Misty Castle should at least have a few stones with constant light here. Old Will suggested, "This kind of small spell requires very little mana, even if it is a constant spell, its value is not too high, and it can be used for several years with a single spell, which is very convenient." ”

"There were. Take a look at the diamond-shaped grooves left on the walls on either side, where there were once enchanted, glowing diamond-shaped pieces of iron. Barrett explained to Misty Castle, "But no matter how many times they are inlayed, it won't be long before these diamond-shaped pieces of iron are chiseled down and taken away by adventurers who don't have clean hands and feet. ”

But then again, most of the adventurers don't have clean hands and feet, let alone those who come out of a chaotic place like Bay of Pigs. Even Barriet has done some shady things within his bottom line when he was poor.

"I see. Old Will nodded, and said nothing.

Of course, the torch is even more unacceptable, the passage is too narrow, and it is semi-closed, and the air inside is not enough to support the torch to burn for a long time.

Walking to the door of another door, Barrett raised his hand and knocked on it, and after three heartbeats, the door opened, revealing two guards with spears in their hands, wearing chain mail and griffin helmets on their heads.

The knightly guards of the Golden Alfalfa Knights glanced at Barrett through his helmet, and then gave up the place at the door for Barrett and the others to pass.

Walking out of the small door, Barrett was greeted by a large field of flowery tents and dilapidated wooden houses in the distance. Bay of Pigs, every time you see it when you come out of the small door, it gives Barrett a sense of heartfelt joy and relaxation.

The barbarian breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Old Will and the others behind him, and said in a pretended flat tone, "We're back." ”

Everyone in 'Dirty Fiction' smiled at the brute, including the dwarf with a black face all the way.

"Thank you for your help. Old Will said sincerely, "Otherwise, this adventure would not have gone so smoothly." If it were just a few of us, let alone complete the task, we might not even be able to make it out alive. ”

This is not an exaggeration, the Misty Forest is a strange and unpredictable place, and many dangers are hidden in inadvertent places, and there is no possibility for anyone who does not know it to get out of it if they enter it rashly.

Throughout his adventure, Barrett did a lot of work that wasn't put on the surface, cutting down a piece of grass, piercing a flower, dodging a tree, turning around a few ways, and so on. These seemingly casual actions actually eliminate many imperceptible dangers.

A lot of the action Barrett didn't explain why he did it, and he didn't want to use it to show his role repeatedly, but the members of 'Dirty Novel' as an elite team of adventurers could see it.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Barrett bowed his head and stroked his chest, "What's more, I've also been paid a lot of money. ”

Old Will patted his head, "By the way, about the reward, it's ..... today."

"Tomorrow. Barrett said he was feeling a little tired, and he believed the same was true of the people in 'nasty fiction'.

"Then tomorrow morning, at the tavern called 'Fortune, Fortune', we will discuss the next steps. Old Will suggested.

"Listen to you, Your Excellency. Barrett replied, "Well, see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

Old Will led the half-elves and others towards the main gate of the Misty Castle, and Barrett forgot that Old Will could enter the Misty Castle with his identity as a fourth-level mage. He had heard that the fortress was also a tavern, an inn, a blacksmith's shop, a tailor's shop, and everything, like a small militarized village, but he had never entered it.

Barrett watched Old Will and the others gradually walk away, reached out and touched the 'Iron Bride' on his waist, got up and walked towards the dirty, messy but intimate place.
