Chapter Ninety-Two: The Boiling Hot Springs
Three days later, after a short break, Barrett was on the road again and came to a small village called 'Ann Ranseno'.
The village has a long history, having existed before the Magic Empire was founded.
During the Imperial period, the village also flourished for a long time, and developed into one of the largest cities in the surrounding area, which was not much better than the current Garano. It's a pity that the era of darkness and chaos came, and 'Anransino' was destroyed by the war and turned into a ruin. Since the establishment of the Magic Association and the end of the war on the mainland, 'Anranseno' has been slowly established on the old site, like a little ember left under the firewood, slowly growing and growing.
'Anlanseno' is an ancient lingua franca meaning 'hot springs gushing out of the ground', so outsiders prefer to call this small village 'hot spring village', after all, the name is easier to pronounce.
The spa village is not too far from Garano, less than two days by horse-drawn carriage. The scenery is very pleasant, and the hot springs are set in a lush camphor forest with dense laurel and palm trees, making it a perfect place for a relaxing holiday.
It's a pity that this village is not on the blue planet, and the people of the mainland will not travel thousands of miles from other places to the village in a horse-drawn carriage, just to take a bath.
Therefore, the villagers in the village do not pay much attention to their hot springs, and they are even more respectful in the hot midsummer and early autumn, but they do have some use in winter, and it is convenient for bathing and laundry.
And this hot spring village is the location of Hannah's mission to ask Barritt for help.
......
There were six of them in the group, and in addition to him and Hannah, there was also the adventurer with a rosacea and a bellied ear who was blocking Barrret's way in the Adventurers' Guild.
Hannah called him 'Burton the Good Samaritan', and it was said that every year during the autumn harvest, this man would go to the villages near Garano to help the farmers there harvest their crops. Burton, a good Samaritan, is a good harvester of crops, whether it is corn, soybeans, cassava, or peanuts, he can harvest them quickly and well. What's more, he doesn't charge a penny for his work, it's completely free, all you need to do is provide him with a glass of rye beer and a place to live.
This tradition was upheld by Burton the Good Samaritan for nearly a decade, so that although this man was not well-known among the adventurers, he was a hero among the peasants near Garano.
Compared to an adventurer, he is more like a farmer in an elite template.
In addition to Burton, a good Samaritan, Hannah's team also has a young man named 'Brandon'. The young man is fascinated by Hannah's fascination and is hostile to Barrett. Whenever Hannah smiled charmingly at Barritt or sat down next to Barritt, the young man's eyes were about to burst into flames of jealousy.
Of course, Barrett also didn't like to see this young man who didn't know anything.
"He has bad intentions towards you. He said to Hannah.
"No, he has bad intentions towards you. Hannah, at that time, replied with a smile, "You don't have to be jealous, he's not my type." It's just ......" her charming expression suddenly became calm and calm, "for a moment, you suddenly realize that some people covet your body, in fact, that feeling is not bad." ”
Well, she's such a woman, Barrett always knew.
In addition, a melancholy man named 'Add', although he is also very young, is usually full of depression, and he always looks like he can't lift his spirits when he talks and acts.
His smile was always sad, his every breath was like a sigh, the cheese seemed to taste bitter in his mouth, and the rest of the team and the rest of the Woods called him 'Melancholy Add', a fitting name.
and, a coachman named 'Coachman'. Well, in fact Barrett doesn't know what his name is, everyone calls him 'Coachman' anyway.
The coachman's main "weapon" was a spacious carriage drawn by four mothers that could carry about six people, but Barrett did not crowd them together, but rode his disobedient little horse and followed the carriage all the time.
In addition to this quest in the Hot Spring Village, Barrett also received two other quests from the Adventurers' Guild. After he was ready to finish the matter here, he set off directly to 'Giethoorn', and then completed the other two tasks along the way, accumulating soul energy to a hundred points, and seeing what that strange thing in his body would give.
......
At this time, Barrett and his party had just arrived at the hot spring village, and they were going to the village to contact the mission publisher named 'Yarman'.
The hot spring village has a large population, with thousands of households, and perhaps in a few decades, the nickname will be able to be changed to 'Hot Spring Town'. Because it is not far from Garano, the villagers are also accustomed to outsiders and adventurers, everyone is busy with their own business, and few people will give them a second glance.
They walked along the smooth, tight dirt roads of the hot spring village, with Barrett and Hannah leading the way, followed by the rest.
The barbarian adventurer led his disobedient little peon horse, glanced at the temporary companions behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
An elite farmer who wields a scythe better than a sword, a hairy boy who is carried away by lust and has only brute strength, an unlucky man who always has a bitter face and sighs and sighs, and a professional coachman who drives smoothly and is skilled at riding horses, Barrett only hopes that the whip in his hand will be able to drive more than just a chariot.
No wonder Hannah, the woman, tried her best to pull herself in, no wonder the rosacea said she could pay him more than half as long as he was willing to join.
It turns out that if this team didn't have themselves, the best thing for the whole team would be a woman!
It seems that this mission is likely to be counted on by himself, he sighed inwardly. Since meeting Hannah, he sighs more and more.
Fortunately, they were still self-aware and didn't dare to go to the Misty Forest, otherwise, they would have to explain it all in less than half a day. No, maybe you can't finish a meal, and these people will become dinner.
Maybe it's lunch. But it will never be breakfast, because with their strength, it is impossible to spend the night in the misty forest.
"What do you think?" Hannah asked, seeing Barrett speechless and frowning, "I remember you as a thinker, oh, sorry, except for the lower body. She laughed wildly.
You woman.
"What else can you think of, it's just a task. He tugged at the reins and told his mount, who was still trying to run for joy, to be honest, "Do you know anything else about this mission?"
Hannah spread her hands, "All the information I know was already written in when I posted the task, and I don't know more than you do." ”
Barrett looked at the woman's side face, her firm nose and raised eyebrows flaunted her pride, obviously she was only a 'cute child', but she seemed to want to play with the whole world in applause.
He didn't know how much credibility there was in Hannah's words, so he couldn't help but pull up the [Mission Log] again, carefully examining the task he had received in Hannah's hands:
【Boiling hot springs】
['Anlam Seno Village' is a small village famous for its hot springs. In addition to the hot springs, the scenery here is not bad, there are mountains and waters, flowers and trees, fertile land, simple folk customs, but it is also a good place to retire. 】
What are you doing with all this useless talk?, Barrett thought helplessly. He suddenly realized that this [mission log] had a lot in common with the women - they were both useful and could bring Barrett many benefits (including pleasure), but they were not controlled by Barrett.
Sometimes they are inexplicable, sometimes incomprehensible, but Barrett has no other way but to endure in silence.
He glanced at the woman walking beside him again, sighed silently in his heart, and returned his attention to the [Mission Log].
[The owner of the village, Sir Yarman, has served the Benson family of Garano for generations, and Yarman's grandfather saved the life of the village famous for its hot springs under the huge claws of a monster that escaped from the water during a hunt with the then head of the Benson family.
In normal times, the hot spring water in the hot springs only heats up slightly, so it is a great place to take a bath. However, in the early spring of this year, the temperature of the water in the hot springs is slowly rising for some reason. Until the last week, the spring water in the hot springs was actually boiling. The spring water is constantly bubbling like a pot of boiling soup, and no one wants to be a scalded mushroom in the soup.
Hannah wants to hire you to help her complete the Benson family's mission. The mission was only completed if Sir Yarman felt that Hannah had fulfilled the commission. 】
[Reward: 80 Soul Energy.] 】
[Note: The more good-looking a woman is, the more she will deceive people!]
