Chapter 12: The Orc's Commission

"Orcs?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and shook her head helplessly: "I should have thought that there would be no one else besides them who would make a lot of noise in this environment." ”

"Well, from the orc steppe. Pannis said: "And it's the first day I just came, and it seems that I want to entrust some task, but today the Adventurer's Guild is on vacation, and I was pulled out by my friends to play when I was idle." ”

"Orc mission?" Lina asked strangely, "On the orc side, doesn't the guild have branches in several super-large tribes?

"It should be an advanced mission above the silver level. Catherine guessed, "Those for high-level party missions, the branch is unacceptable, and it must be released at headquarters, which must be the reason why they are here." ”

"Well, do you want to take a look?" Pannis asked, "This kind of high-level task will not be small, and you may be able to make a lot of money for each one you complete." The education work over there is still going on, so if you go over and take a look, maybe you can find out in advance, and then you can go to the guild to grab the task. ”

"However, it's an orc grassland, and it's not close, and it will take nearly a month on the road. Hearing the word reward, Catherine was obviously moved, but she still said with some hesitation: "And we have just been back for more than ten days, and we are already very tired, and we haven't rested well, so it's not good to set off now." ”

"That's the orc grassland, I've never seen a grassland before. Lina's eyes lit up and she asked, "Vivien, have you seen one?"

"Nope. Vivien replied casually, "Well, what are you asking?"

"Today is the holiday, throw away your formulas and formulas and whatnot, quickly throw them out of your mind, don't think about those messy things today, and have a good day." Lina slapped Vivien's floppy hat and asked again, "Have you ever seen the prairie?"

"Of course not, how could I have seen the grassland. Vivien waved her staff away from Lina's troublesome hand: "However, it is said that it is a sea of green, and the scenery is spectacular. If you haven't been there, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"Well, I've been there once, but since you're all going to do so, let's go and have a look. Catherine finally nodded, "But it's useless to think about it now." If the mission is not suitable, you can't go. Alright, Pannis, you lead the way, let's go over and join in the fun. ”

"Go ahead, I'll go back to sleep. Vivien rubbed her eyes and staggered into the tent, "Call me in two hours." I haven't had enough of it. ”

"Well, then I'm not going either. Lina tugged at her silky silver hair in distress: "I'll take care of them." ”

"No, I'll just stay and watch the kids. Freya's round face glowed with maternal brilliance, and she looked at Michelle and Sister Ansa tenderly and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I can take that task in the end, I will go back after the festival to continue to study with the teacher, so I don't need to participate, you can eavesdrop." ”

"Obviously listen to it openly. Lina pouted, pulled Catherine and Pennis, and sneakily slipped over where the voice had come from.

"So, to a place. It's about respecting the habits of a place, you can not follow those habits, but you can't influence others. Like your behavior just now, you can't show any orc bluntness and boldness, it will only attract the ridicule of others, do you know why? Because true bluntness and boldness will not affect others, noisy and noisy are not blunt and bold at all, it is just a vice, understand?" Although the voice was not loud, it was full of momentum, and a few noisy orcs could only listen to it all the time, not daring to defend it at all.

"It seems that the lecture is not over yet. Pannis covered his mouth and snickered: "The elder can really speak, it's been five minutes." ”

"Why are you smiling so weirdly?" Catherine squinted at Pannis. Suspiciously, he asked, "Did you do something bad?" Well, I see, it seems that you lured this elder here. You guy, you can still do something serious. ”

"Hehe, there's no way, it's hard for others to solve this matter. After all, it is related to the living habits of the two races, and even if outsiders are not used to it, it is not easy to accuse them casually. Pannis pretended not to hear Catherine's ridicule, accepted her words as a compliment, and patiently explained: "In the whole valley, only this elder can handle it." ”

"Listen to you, this old man is also an orc. Catherine quickly understood the meaning of Pannis's words: "It's a legendary powerhouse, an orc, or an elder, so it's no wonder that these people don't even dare to speak." ”

The three of them secretly hid behind a few trees and poked their heads out to look curiously. An old fox orc sat cross-legged on the ground, his hair had begun to turn gray, but his spirit was still extremely strong. On the opposite side of the fox old man, seven orcs were also sitting cross-legged, one by one dejectedly accepting the storm of preaching. Although it is not the same tribe that has no governing relationship, but the custom of respecting the old man and respecting the strong makes this group of orcs dare not say a word of nonsense, and they have to nod their heads from time to time, lest the old man think that he has fallen asleep.

"I'm sorry everyone. The old man of the fox clan reprimanded, and finally let go of the group of young orcs, and raised his voice so that everyone in the nearby area could hear: "The children are not sensible, they have made a noise to everyone, I apologize to everyone, I hope you don't get angry with the children." ”

"The old fox just knows how to do things. Pannis sighed in a low voice: "A few words brought the situation under control, and taught a few juniors a lesson, and protected them." Otherwise, if they continue to quarrel, maybe someone from other guilds will come and fight. ”

"Shhhhh Lina tugged at Pannis's clothes: "You're not afraid that he will find out." ”

"What are you afraid of, this is to praise him, not to scold him secretly. Pannis said casually: "And what's the use of whispering, this ten meters away, he has already discovered us." ”

"That's right, hehe, I found out a long time ago. The old man of the fox clan turned his face and smiled mischievously like a child: "What, it's not enough to provoke me to come over to educate the juniors, do you still have to supervise?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Newman, it's me. Catherine glared at Pennis, got out from behind the tree, and walked directly to the fox old man not far from the old man and sat down on his legs, counting the reprimanded orcs, the tripartite people just sat in a triangle.

"Huh, are you ......" The old man of the fox clan known as Mr. Newman was stunned when he saw Catherine, scratched his head in annoyance, and suddenly realized: "I remember, you are a child of the Field family, right...... Call...... It's called Catherine, right. Time flies so fast, I haven't seen you so old for more than ten years. Alas, your father was so talented, how good it was to be an adventurer in a down-to-earth manner, and he had to go to the overseas islands, especially those that no one has set foot on, to explore and discover rare materials, uh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned these things for a while. ”

"It's all right, Mr. Newman. The polite smile on Catherine's face was almost impeccable: "I respect my parents' choice, and I'm doing well now, and mentioning these things will only make me miss them better, and it won't make me feel unpleasant." ”

"That's good, that's good. Then I heard that you had become an adventurer, and you had a good reputation. Newman looked Catherine up and down, then looked at Lina and Pannis, who were sitting behind Catherine, and said with satisfaction: "It's really good, it's a golden rank at such a young age, and the strength is about to catch up with your father's back then, if your father knows, he will be happy in the kingdom of God." ”

Catherine nodded with a smile and said confidently, "I have faith that the souls of my father and grandfather will always be proud of me." ”

"Good, a good boy. Newman glared at the seven orcs on the side, and sighed as if he had seen a group of unsuccessful children: "Catherine, you didn't just come here to see this time. ”

"It's not, I'm here to ask about the commission. Catherine turned to Pannis, "My team member, Mr. Pannis, you also met earlier, and another team member, Pastor Lina, is also our team member. We just wanted to go to the grassland to see it, so we would like to inquire about the commission in advance, and if it is appropriate, we are very interested in taking it. It just so happens that you are also here, you are the head of the membership area of the Adventurer's Guild, and although the task entrusted by several gentlemen to the Capital of Knowledge belongs to the advanced membership area, I still want to trouble you to help be a witness. ”

"That's right. Newman stroked his beard and nodded, "It's certainly okay to be a witness, you guys, tell me more about the task you want to entrust, and let Miss Catherine hear it." Recently, most of the high-level adventure teams have been running missions outside, and there are very few who are free, but I didn't expect you to attract one after a while, so you are lucky. Okay, let's talk about it. ”

"It's actually quite simple. Among the seven orcs, as soon as one of the tiger orcs spoke, he was shocked that his volume was a little too loud, and he hurriedly lowered his voice: "There is a group of mountains near the grassland of our tribe, and there are often undead spirits in the depths of the mountains, this phenomenon has lasted for hundreds of years, and it cannot be completely solved by the accumulation of natural death energy. But fortunately, the undead are mainly active in one area, and never step out of the range of activities, and if you don't go in, you won't be harmed, so there have been no unfortunate incidents. But since a year ago, the activities of the undead have suddenly become more frequent, and the range of activities is gradually expanding. The leader was worried that it would not be long before the undead began to invade the pastures where our ancestors had relied for their survival, so he sent a few professionals to explore the cause of the undead's movements, but the professionals of these tribes never returned. Later, we went to the nearby adventurer's guild to issue a commission, but two of them were wiped out in the depths of the mountains after accepting the commission, and only the second time two seriously injured scouts escaped, they said that the undead inside were very strong, and they needed at least a silver level or above to deal with them, or simply find mercenaries to sweep away all the undead in that area. So, with their guidance, we came here. (To be continued.) )
