It's not that the goldfinch hasn't been accosted, and in the few years that he has just been in this industry, he is often asked strange questions, "Is this a minor?", "It's just too pitiful, so young to take on housework", "Can the little sister hold a hammer?"-

The last person was once hammered to the head by her.

- Even in the adventurer world, the goldfinch is still ...... Well, invincible.

Or rather, alone.

But—

"Little girl, are you an adventurer?"

The goldfinch had never encountered this type of pick-up - the goldfinch on the return journey heard the voice, looked up, and saw that it was the same one he had met this morning.

Wearing a wide cloak, the bell hanging from the skirt of the skirt, and the sound of the faint sound accompanied by the cramped breathing, sounded a little strange on the street where no one was around.

It was two people who met her this morning, the sun was shining, and there were other people around, so it didn't make the picture so strange, but now-

The autumn wind was blowing, and the old woman who couldn't see her face clearly, only the broken bell rang.

"Is there a problem?" If it weren't for the goldfinch, but someone else, it would have run away a long time ago.

"Hurry up, hurry up. The woman's breathing sounded even more rapid.

It seems to be being chased by something.

"What do you say. Goldfinch paused, "It's a bit windy. ”

"Let's go. ”

"The wind was too strong for me to hear. ”

"Hurry ......"

"I can't hear you. ”

“......”

There was a real gust of wind blowing, and the goldfinch narrowed her eyes, feeling the autumn wind that seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction suddenly blowing on her cheeks, and the small gravel and dust that she was carrying made her eyes squint slightly.

When I opened my eyes again, the woman was gone.

Sorcerer, or priest? or both?

The goldfinch was silent for a moment, then turned away without paying much attention.

The Plantagenet was still a little worried about Shuer.

She didn't tell Shul what she was doing when she came out - it had been a while, and he was alone......

What are you doing? sleeping, eating, feeling bored and in a daze?

When Shul first offered to join her, she considered refusal—not because she didn't think it was a problem, but because she wasn't very suited to take care of anyone.

If their family knew that Shuer didn't come back this holiday because of their own words.

Goldfinch frowned and strode towards the tavern.

......

"Hey, who is that?" said someone in the corner, looking at the man in a wide cloak walking down the street—with some surprise in his tone.

"Who is this, adventurer?" another voice said to him.

"It's weird, she turned out to be an adventurer—"

"Did you find that person?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? This village is a bit mysterious. "Didn't you just prepare for the Sleep Festival, why is it not yet dark, and there is no one on the street—"

"Can there be a boss Xuanhu?To be reasonable, can we not squat here?!"

"Why. ”

"Lao Tzu's ass is cold!"

“...... Keep a vigil tonight. ”

"??? Ya Butterfly!"

【③】

The goldfinch pushed open the door suddenly, and felt that in his heart, an emotion that had not existed for a long time appeared in an instant-

Astound.

Places like taverns are mixed – and more lively.

It was more lonely than the autumn breeze outside—but the tavern was bustling with activity, with a small number of adventurers and locals sitting around the fire around a campfire in the center of the tavern, and they seemed to be chatting and occasionally laughing.

The bard plays the lyre—a melodious sound that exudes a sense of lightness and harmony on the faces of those who have been dyed with flames.

What matters is – the center of this group of people.

Shure ??!!!

Shul sat in it, holding a wine glass in his hand, his blonde hair dyed red at the edges, and sat in the crowd smiling, not like the polite and gentle smile he had in the academy, but more of a friendly smile.

A pair of eyes that sparkle with flowing gold make people feel good.

Did you even mingle with the people here?

The goldfinch looked at this scene and was a little stunned.

"I've heard of Pakaran, what it's like there—like the people of the boar forests of the eastern mountains?" he was talking to an adventurer not far away.

"Aha, of course! People of those nationalities are very stereotypical, and when I went to that area a few years ago—" It quickly became the man's self-introduction.

People listened to these interesting stories and exclaimed.

There was only one figure in the golden-eyed eyes of the golden-finch—and when the initial shock had subsided, she didn't quite understand what mood she was in.

It's probably the complicated feelings of "my own dog cub actually mixes so well outside".

"Hey, Shuer, you and your friends have accepted the mission of this village?" Shul made a good impression on the adventurers, and they later took the initiative to ask about Shuer.

"That's right. Shul shook the glass in his hand and smiled.

"Oh, that's an easy job, but ......," the adventurers said.

"What's wrong?" Scheuer keenly caught some of the "wrong" in the other person's words.

The adventurer took a sip of barley wine, a rough-tasting alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of freshly harvested barley, which adventurers drank most often, though there was often some residue of wheat grains in it.

"It's not often the place to look for adventurers. The man said, "I've heard something happened recently." ”

"Don't scare people and tell me this person is neurotic. Another adventurer interrupted him with a smile.

"You don't need many helpers for the Sleeping Festival, do you?" Shuer didn't seem to understand the meaning of the other party's words, and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because of some things, some people can't get busy?"

"Ha - the deer people never use outsiders to help with rituals. One of the adventurers glanced at a native of the Deer Clan and lowered his voice, "You can leave early after you have completed the contract in hand, this ritual of the Sleeping Festival is nothing to see." ”

Shure's expression didn't change, he just nodded blindly.

"It's funny, tell me where you're from? I always think there's something particularly interesting about you. Shul looked up and saw that the leader of the mercenary team he had seen at the village chief this morning was looking at him, holding a glass of wine, and asking rather casually.

"Damn, boss, are you out of the closet?!" said the brothers next to him.

So the squad leader took a sip of wine and sprayed it in his face.

There was a commotion.

"The Golden Dog Clan, who lives in the southern forests. Shul didn't mind the joke too much, and replied with a smile.

He really looks like a good boy who is pure......

Quite a few adventurers gave him a thumbs up.

"Well, guys, I'll go first. Xiuer smiled, left his position, and suddenly thought of something as he walked, turned his head to look at the team leader, and smiled again, "Thank you very much for your compliment, but I have someone I like." ”

"Poof——!" beckoned to the poor brother next to him with another sip of wine.
