"Squeak!"

Let's go!

Seeing the giant cockroach crouching on the kobold's corpse and eating frantically, while some of the cockroaches' tails suddenly emerged oval-shaped white spheres, Ron chirped and led the moonlight rat guards on their way home.

The kobold's corpse disappeared into the cockroach's wriggling mouthparts at a speed visible to the naked eye, while countless cockroach eggs were laid. Life and death, devouring and rebirth, this is the basic ecology of the Sewers of Ascatatra, whether it is a moonlight rat, or a kobold, or other creatures living in the sewers, they are all part of this ecological cycle, and will eventually be silent in this cycle.

"Squeak!"

Disband!

Recuperate if you are injured! Rest well if you are not injured!

Following the path he had come, encountering no danger along the way, Ron returned safely to his territory. Disbanding the Moonlight Rat Guards and allowing them to rest and recuperate, the tired Ron crawled into his nest and didn't even eat the nuts that had been arranged, but just drank a few sips of water before falling asleep in the fur of the Cloud Fox.

............

Early morning, bridge area, five pot wine hotel.

The morning light was faint, most of the passengers were still asleep, and there was only one person in the huge hall except the bartender.

Sitting at the wooden table leaning against the entrance door in the hall, kneading the slender beard on his lips, Ike Froude held his glass and leaned back in his chair, sipping a drink with a wonderful sparkle in it as he stared at the door of the inn.

He drank Moonlight Wine, a wonderful sweet wine from Centia near the Sea of the Moon, which is said to attract him to the moonlight and make him the darling of the moon.

However, it was already early in the morning, and the morning light had already crossed the Cloud Mountains, scattering light and warmth into Askatra, so it was impossible to verify whether the legend of Moonlight Wine was true or not.

"Ah~"

Squinting slightly, Ike let out a soft sigh as a large figure obscured the morning light of the inn's door, heavy cowhide boots inlaid with iron plates making a dull sound on the bluestone floor of the same material as the tavern and the street outside.

"Crunch!"

An arm as thick as a human thigh pushed open the door of the hotel, and with an oppressive aura, a huge man slowly walked up to Ike Flode. The quaint face was like a rock, and the smooth head reflected the morning light, like an ogre giant, stood quietly in front of Ike for a while, and suddenly stretched out his fan-sized palm and grabbed the wine glass in Ike's hand.

"Whew!"

Generally speaking, the larger the body, the slower the movement, but the giant man who just walked in was obviously not among them, and the big palm of the fan blew a gust of wind, which actually blew Ike's beard and hair to the back of his head.

However, Ike Froude was more agile, just cocked the wooden chair under him, and with a gentle force, three of the four legs of the wooden chair were cocked, like a spinning top, and it turned out of the range of the strong man's palm.

"Hey, Gondork, it's not a good habit to steal other people's wine!"

"If you want a drink, go to the counter!"

Apparently, Ike Froude knew the giant man who was reaching out and dodged the giant man's palm, and Ike let the four feet of the wooden chair fall to the ground, and while looking at the giant man, he brought the wine in his hand to his lips again.

"I ...... Can't afford ......"

Unlike his vigorous skills, the giant man's speech was quite slow, and he looked at the wine in Ike's hand with some admiration, Gondok withdrew his palm, stroked the back of his head, and his simple face turned honest.

The Five Pots Wine Hotel has all the fine wines on the continent of Faerun, including moonlight wine. It's just that the distance from the shore of the Moon Sea to the Sea of Swords is close to half a continent, and the journey is dangerous and long, and the value of a glass of moonlight wine is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Of course, Gondok is not an ordinary person, he is a member of the high-level adventure team [Iron Fist] whose overall class level is over eleven and all members have achieved exemplary paths, and he can't afford to drink moonlight wine for another reason.

"Smack!"

However, as Gondok spoke, a dark shadow suddenly flung out from behind Gondok, and it was so swift that even though Ike Froud, a wanderer who had already achieved the exemplary [Cat Night Thief], he still did not dodge, and was swept away from the wine glass in his hand by this black shadow.

"Ike, don't bully Gondork, you know that Gondork's money is used to buy food and send it back to the tribe. ”

The dark shadow that swept through the wine glass turned around with the same swift speed and landed in the hands of a tall and graceful woman, dressed in leather armor, with the blue eyes and tall figure characteristic of the Northlanders, and the huge wooden bow and quiver behind her indicated her identity, an archer ranger.

A member of the high-level adventure team [Iron Fist], the exemplary ranger [Field Marksman], Fiona Icefang.

Gently handing the wine in his hand to the large man beside him, Gondor smiled shyly, touched his head again, took the glass from Fiona's hand, and drank it down.

"Whew!"

"It's so affectionate, so loving that I want to blush!"

There was a loud whistle from his lips, and Ike Froude crossed his arms and laughed at the two of them. Although they are not married, Fiona and Gondok have already collided in the long adventure, and the two have been in love for a long time.

"Ahem...... , don't talk nonsense, let's talk, what's the matter with calling us back this time?"

"Do you want to be a dragon slayer, or do you want to attack the evil wizard's mage tower?"

Coughing heavily, Fiona warned Ike Froude with a sharp look not to talk about it, then pulled Gondok to sit down at the wooden table and asked.

However, Ike Froude did not speak, he put away the smile on his face and sat up in the wooden chair.

"It's not about being a dragon slayer, it's not about attacking the mage tower of evil wizards. ”

"This adventure is much more dangerous!"

A low sound came from the door of the hotel, causing Gondork, who was facing his back, to immediately turn around and hold the greatsword and shield on his back, but when the gray robe was lifted, revealing a gray-haired chin and gray eyes, Gondork put away the sword and shield in his hand, bowed his head respectfully, and spoke with Fiona and Ike.

"Captain Green!"

"Captain, you're here!"

"Everyone's been doing well lately!"

Removing the hood of his robe behind his back, Grimm replied with a smile on his staff, holding his staff, and he walked to the wooden table, where he sat down on the last wooden chair, where a small elf appeared out of thin air, placed a glass of water in front of Grimm, and then disappeared again.

Then, as Green's lips squirmed slightly, the bartender, who had been listening to a few people with his ears pricked up while wiping his glasses, could only see the lips of a few people squirming, but could no longer hear the sound of conversation.
