Chapter 101: Not Boasting Is Not a Qualified Adventurer (Part II)
Barrett's self-introduction should have been a good start, and it served as a deterrent at the dinner table (he thinks). In his opinion, the object of shock included not only the knights and servants on the other side, but even the rest of Hannah's team.
Either way, at least the knight who had learned to despise people without any hair, and Brandon, the reckless and frizzy follower, had learned to be afraid, or jealous, or of course, something else.
In short, Barrett found that when Brandon was looking at him, his eyes began to become evasive, and Hu Conggreg's face did not have the original disdain, but was replaced by surprise and solemnity, and seemed to have a little respect.
Barrett talks at length, detailing the details of the important battles, how they were encountered, how they were resisted, what kind of loopholes to look for, when to attack, how to coordinate with teammates right or wrong, how to slay monsters, and even how to dissect corpses, find the most valuable body parts, and so on.
Because it was so detailed, there were few doubts at the table about the veracity of what he said. He also introduced the habits of many monsters, as well as the experience and skills that can be used to deal with them, which really benefited everyone.
Well, the last sentence of the above paragraph was actually made up by Barrett himself.
The whole dinner party gradually came to an end in his narrative. Except for Barrett, everyone put down the dishes, sipped a beer or fruit wine, and quietly listened to him pretending to be alone, no, an introduction.
During this time, Barrett not only ate all the food on his plate, including the mustard blood sausage, but also filled his plate with two extra veal sausages, a few slices of fried eggs, a large spoonful of roasted potatoes, and a meat mixture to whet his appetite by reminiscing about the adventures of the past, and the tea sausage and pickled cucumber in the meat mixture also served a similar effect.
The part-time waiter, Hu Congge, poured Barrette three times with wine, and he stared at Barrett with a little admiration in his eyes, and it was clear that the young man in his teenage years enjoyed his experience.
After Barrett finished speaking, there was a brief silence at the table, as if everyone was immersed in his bizarre and thrilling adventures, which made Barrett a little complacent.
Among adventurers, his ability to brag and show off can only be considered average, but at the moment, he is really the top among these people.
The silence lasted for ten heartbeats, and then the Knight Lord Yarman spoke, "Old Turip mentioned your name to me. Among his collections was a embalmed monster arm, which old Turip said was a four-armed demon ape's arm, and you gave it to him. ”
Killing the four-armed demon ape brought Barrett not only a lot of money, but also "prestige", which has no body but far-reaching influence.
"Sell! not send. Barrett corrected, "I fought this monster several times before I actually slashed the four-armed demon ape. During one of these encounters, with the help of a magic apprentice, I was lucky enough to cut off one of the arms of the four-armed demon ape, turning it into a three-armed demon ape. Barrett told a not-so-funny joke, "It also lays the groundwork for angering and killing it in the future." And the severed arm, I remember, was indeed sold to the Turip family, after all, his youngest son also died at the hands of the demon ape. ”
Sir Yarman nodded, not giving Barrett a chance to continue bragging about himself, "what about the others?" he asked, "if you are like this ......" he looked at the brute adventurer.
“...... Barrett. "He must have done it on purpose, the barbarian adventurer slandered in his heart.
"If Mr. Barrett is as experienced and capable as this, then I must apologize for my rude words. There was not a hint of apology on the knight lord's face.
But after that, the deterrent effect that Barrett managed to create was completely wiped out by the introduction of others.
Burton, a good Samaritan, honestly introduced that he was good at farming, but he himself did not want to be a farmer and did not want to be bound by the land for his life. Most of the tasks he has completed in the past have been missions that are not too dangerous, such as delivering letters, finding items, collecting some kind of resources around Galano, and escorting caravans.
And the most dangerous task was to help someone catch the traitor, but the result was that he was beaten by the other party and his nose was blue and his face was swollen. The sword in Burton's hand had killed three goblin robbers and a ferocious hare, and oh, it had been thrown as an arrow to hit a boar, but the arrow had been of little use except to provoke the boar.
Brandon said a lot of nonsense, how good he was in fighting when he was a child, how strong he was, and then raised his arm to show everyone the "thick" muscles on his arm, and said that he was okay with three or five people. But when Sir Yarman impatiently asked him what adventures he had, he didn't know what to say.
Barrett knew that the young man had intended to lie, to use the adventurer's entry-level technique - to speak big, but under the terrifying gaze of the knight lord, Brandon had to admit that he had not even killed a chicken, and this was his first mission.
Hopefully it won't be your last, Barrett looked at the young man.
It was the turn of the melancholy Eddie, the young man who said that although he was not outstanding in force, he was very sensitive, and could sense whether there was danger hidden in a certain area around him, but he could not distinguish where the danger came from, who or what it was.
This young man with a depressed face, the food on the table could not remove the slightest bit of his sadness. It seems that the mage who took Eddie away did not erase all of his abilities, but showed them in another way, Barrett guessed in his heart.
The introduction made by the humble coachman was much simpler, and it seemed that he did not want to say anything more. The coachman said that he was originally an ordinary guard, but after being injured, he retired as a coachman, and then changed his career to become an adventurer. Skilled at tending to horses, as well as using a tackala.
Barrett took a closer look at the taciturn coachman and found that he did not have the pointed chin, hooked nose, or deep eye sockets of the desert race, but rather the typical human appearance of the griffon kingdom.
Also, since you're good at the Tarkara scimitar, where is your scimitar hidden?Barrett glanced at the coachman's palm and saw that his ten fingers were empty, and he wasn't wearing the Spatial Ring.
Is it hidden in the wagon? It doesn't know why.
He was not alone, the Knight Lord Yarman asked the same question as Barrett, and the coachman replied, "I am good at the Tarkara Scimitar, but I don't need it, and my horsewhip will do my job just as well." ”
Are you tasked with driving a carriage or slaying monsters? Barrett knows many adventurers, but none of them use a horsewhip as a weapon. Perhaps the circus trainer needed it more than the adventurer.
When it was Hannah's turn, the woman didn't say anything, just drank the cider in her glass in small sips and took small sips in the eyes of everyone, and looked at everyone as if they were nothing.
The cook specially told her not to drink rye beer, which will make her little belly fat, and drinking some fruit wine will be beautiful. It seems that she executed it well.
Hannah's silence silenced the table again for a long time, until Sir Yarman opened his mouth to move on to the next topic.
"I was expecting the Count to send four or five knights plus a well-equipped elite guard to assist me, but I didn't expect you to come last. Yarman's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and he didn't know if it was the Benson family, or the adventurers, or both.
The emaciated knight lord grimaced, "I don't know why the Benson family let this useless guy like Baron Baker deal with this matter, didn't I explain the seriousness of the matter when I reported it?"
"And I don't know why that playboy is looking for you. He said he didn't know, but his eyes turned to Hannah with an inexplicable scrutiny in his eyes, "Since you 'good hands' ......" he said this word with a half-sneer, and the reason for this was that he suddenly saw Barrett in the middle of his laughter, and the smile stopped.
"Ahem, since you've come here at the invitation of the Benson family, you're going to obey my orders......," he said in a more heated tone than the word 'order', "help me deal with the growing number of monsters in the hot springs." Next, let Sebas briefly introduce the matter. ”
