(Yesterday Kavin, this book is the first time it has ever been written.) I didn't write a single chapter all day, and in order to celebrate the first time, today the double is better. For the sake of my sincerity, I asked for a collection and recommendation from a friend who passed by. ）

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen. The old coachman's laughter came from the front of the carriage and woke up the four sleepy passengers: "The weeping cave camp has arrived, it's time to get off." ”

Although it is called the Wailing Cave Camp, it is actually only a flat land of about 400 square meters, surrounded by stones and wood to prevent wild beasts from breaking in, without any defenses and no guards. The camp is divided into two areas, the outer area is only near the camp gate, where four large tents are set up side by side, the first is an open-air blacksmith shop, the furnace and anvil are placed outside the tent, which is only responsible for repairing armor and weapons, and the second is a tailor's shop, which is responsible for repairing cloth and leather armor. The third is a drugstore, which deals in a variety of herbs and antidote potions, and occasionally you can see external healing potions and internal spiritual recovery potions, but the price is more than twice that of the pharmacies in nearby towns, and the fourth is a grocery store, which specializes in all kinds of low-grade crystals and small items such as thieves' locks, flint and velvet for making fires, and various condiments for cooking.

Passing through the four tents side by side, you enter the inner area, which is a large open space with several temporary tents scattered on the open space, which is the rest area for adventurers. There is also a large tent set up in front of the rest area closest to the outer area, with potato soup stewed on the stove in the tent, wine barrels placed by the fire, and a dozen tables and chairs placed outside the tent, several people are sitting on the tables and chairs to eat, and it looks like a temporary tavern in the camp.

This small camp is mainly for hired coachmen, adventurers who come out of the cave to rest and a very small number of travelers passing by, and the occasional hungry beast foraging at the edge of the camp will also be cleaned up by the adventurers resting in the camp. Although there is nothing good here, it is better to be safe, and adventurers are willing to spend some money here to relax after a long and tense battle in the cave.

The three members of Nelly's Adventure Party and their temporary teammates jumped out of the car, and Catherine walked up to the coachman: "Mr. Emperor, according to this agreement, we will hire you for sixteen days. But you don't have to wait here all the time when we go into the cave to explore, so you can just go back and come back and pick us up in fifteen days. ”

"Don't bother, little miss. The Emperor replied with a smile: "Last time, it was because that little bastard of Little Scat privately told me that you would come out disappointed if you couldn't stay in it for two or three days, which was a short-term adventure, so I waited for you here." If you're determined to go on a long adventure this time, do you see the stables in front of you? You can go back to any carriage in there. I'll wait at the stables too, and I'll be gone when someone comes to rent a car and go back. Then I don't have to wait for you, and you don't have to spend a lot of money, just pay me one gold coin today. ”

Catherine suddenly realized, looked at the sky again, and asked with some worry: "However, it is not too early to see the sky, do you have to rush back tonight?" You can't get to the town before dark, in case there is any unsafe ......."

"Haha, little miss, don't worry, the coachmen here know that they can't return after noon, otherwise they will definitely have to rush in the dark. ”

"Then you ...... tonight," Catherine handed the coachman a gold coin, but she was not sure where the coachman would live tonight.

"We drivers live directly in the car, so we don't spend money to rent a tent to live in, it's too wasteful. You better hurry up and get in, don't worry about me. The coachman waved his hand and drove the carriage to the stables.

"Mr. Pannis. Catherine watched the coachman leave, her face a little unhappy: "Why didn't you tell us this?"

"What?" Pannis asked, looking uncertain, "what to tell you?"

"About what Mr. Goto said. Catherine stared into Pannis's eyes and asked solemnly, "You must know it very well, why didn't you tell me?"

"It's none of my business. Pannis shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied with a relaxed face: "I'm only concerned about adventure-related matters, as for the rest?"

"Now it has something to do with you. Catherine accentuated: "If this happens again in the future, you must remind me and point me to the problem." ”

Pannis sneered and mocked back: "In the future, if you eat less or forget to sleep at night, do I have to remind you too." ”

Catherine was not angry, and said very plainly but firmly: "This is an order." ”

Pannis's mouth opened wide, and he looked at Catherine's firm and unquestioning expression speechlessly, and was stunned for a moment before he sighed resignedly: "Your will, Captain." ”

"Then let's go in, take a break, and get ready to go into the cave. Catherine nodded, turned and began to move forward, no one saw it, and the moment she turned around, a smile appeared on her face.

"You can remind me if I chew a bite less when eating, I often think about problems when I eat, and I swallow when I forget to chew, and I almost choke to death several times. ”

"You can also remind me if I forget to sleep at night, I often forget to sleep when I read at night, and I am so sleepy that I can't open my eyes the next day. ”

"You guys, it's still daytime, don't start dreaming now. Pannis turned his head, looked at the two beautiful faces with the corners of his mouth twitching, dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

"Although, according to Mr. Pannis, there is no difference between day and night in the cave, and you can enter it at any time, but considering our living habits, we will rest in the camp tonight and start the mission in the best condition tomorrow morning, do you have any opinions?" Outside the tavern at the Crying Cave camp, four people occupied a table, and Catherine began to ask for everyone's opinions. But apparently, the other three didn't care about it at all, still reading, in a daze, and pouring a large glass of ale into their stomachs.

Seeing Pannisy pouring ale after ale cup after glass, Catherine frowned slightly: "Mr. Pannis, I suggest that you don't drink too much alcohol during the mission." ”

"This is also an order?" said Pannis, pausing his movements.

"No, it's just advice. Catherine muttered again in a voice that could be heard by all four of them, "You can't drink anymore when you go into the cave anyway." ”

Pannis smiled bitterly and shook the wine glass in his hand: "Actually, you don't need to worry, the effect of ale on my body is already very small, and I can't get drunk because of drinking ale." In other words, the alcohol itself has very little effect on me, and it is difficult for me to get drunk unless I drink it for several days and nights in a row. ”

"If you can't get drunk, why do you want to drink?" Seeing Catherine and Pannis's different but surprised eyes looking at her, Lina first smiled mysteriously and smugly at Catherine, and then raised the book in her hand to Pannis: "Chronicles of the Knights, page 231, chapter 58, Ernis said. ”

"Perhaps, always, will it do something?" said Pannis, uncertain, his eyes scattered and confused, as if staring at the glass of wine, and as if looking at the dim sky reflected in the wine, and for a moment, all four fell into silence.

There were slightly more adventurers in the cave camp tonight than usual, and a dozen or so tables were almost full. In this camp, most of the people who come and go are low-level adventurers who don't know the secrets of the lower layers of the Weeping Cave at all, and only have the ability to hunt monsters in the upper layers to obtain materials or complete tasks. Of course, among these low-level rookies, there may occasionally be a group of high-level adventurers above the silver level, and it is obvious that these high-level people are all heading towards the lower level of the cave. The dress of these high-level adventurers was no different from that of ordinary low-level counterparts, but in the eyes of other high-level adventurers, their mannerisms, temperaments, and behaviors were as obvious as lions hidden in the flock.

"The four of you, are you also going down to the 'inside'?" The two words in the aggravated inside let those who know the inside know understand the implied meaning of the other party at once. The four of them turned their heads to look at where the voice came from, and a female ranger walked slowly from a short distance away. When she got closer, the woman was just about to speak, when she suddenly saw Pannis, and exclaimed, "Pannis? ”

"Do you know me?" asked Pannis, confused.

"That's right. The woman said with a little excitement: "Seven months ago, our team infiltrated the mountain wolf thief camp in the Carnes Hills to rescue the heir of Baron Stone, and once hired you as an archer, and I remember your archery skills very well. ”

"Ugh. Pannis looked down and recalled: "I forgot, I never remember anything that is irrelevant." ”

The woman smiled awkwardly: "I'm here to ask for help, please help me, this is a matter of life and death for my teammates." ”

"I never help people. Pannis's voice was calm to the point of almost indifference: "And the life and death of your teammates has nothing to do with me." ”

"This lady. Catherine smiled, with a calming and reassuring power in her smile: "Please sit down first, and tell me what the situation is going on." ”

"I'm Lisa from Moonlight Adventures. The woman pulled over a chair and sat down, "May I ask who you are?"

"Nelly's Adventure Party. Catherine replied, "I am Catherine." ”

"Also a silver-level team?" Lisa's eyes lit up, her hands clenched into fists nervously, and she hurriedly said, "The priest and I just escaped from the cave this afternoon, and we are fortunate to have met you, otherwise there would be no hope." We had been going forward for seven days, but the day before yesterday, we had a massive troglodyte commotion, and after trying our best to escape, we were attacked by two mages, and I had broken an arm and three ribs, and the priest had exhausted the last of his mana to heal me. The head of the regiment really had no choice, so he and the mages in the regiment dragged them and asked me and Wen, ah, the pastor of the regiment, to let me and Wen escape first and find a way. I hope to entrust you with the rescue of the regimental commander, and we can give up to 2,000 gold coins. ”

"Maybe they've been killed. Pannis said bluntly without sympathy: "Even if you escape, in a place like the second floor of the cave, without the existence of explorers, you won't live long." You're an explorer on the team, but they're not. So your commission doesn't make any sense. ”

"No, it won't. The anxious Lisa didn't care about Pannis's unlucky words: "When they sneaked up, they said that they would catch them alive, and the regimental commander would definitely not be killed." ”

"Adventurers attack each other, and once they are discovered, they will be severely punished by the guild, and the other party should not be adventurers. Do you have any clues, what is the strength of the other party?" Catherine asked carefully, "Are there only two of them?"

"I don't know who the other party is at all, and we were very confused when we were attacked, we only knew that the other party was very strong, maybe gold-level, as for the accomplices, we didn't see it nearby, it should be none. ”

Catherine frowned and thought about it for a while before replying, "Well, I agreed." But I can't guarantee anything, I can only say go and see. Also, if you do manage to rescue your teammates, you will need to go to the Adventurer's Guild to reissue the quest. ”

"No problem. Lisa breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, I don't know what to do without you." ”

Catherine smiled and accepted Lisa's thanks: "You can write down the characteristics of your group leader and mage, as well as the other two people, and you don't have to go in, you just broke a bone, and it's still an arm, you can't exert yourself for at least five days, and your priest has just experienced a strong battle and needs to rest, so you can recuperate in the camp." ”

"Okay, I'll send you the message in a moment. Lisa immediately left, interested.

"You're too cold, Mr. Pennis. Catherine said solemnly: "It is a knight's virtue to help those in need. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of others, which is contrary to chivalry. ”

"I'm not a knight. Pannis said indifferently, "I don't need to help them." ”

"But I'm a knight. Catherine accentuated: "And I'm still an employer." ”

Pannis hung his head weakly and groaned in a low voice, "You're always right, Employer. ”

Catherine pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and explained in detail: "Actually, I also thought about it, but this does not conflict with our mission, and there are these two guys who sneak attack the adventurers, and they are also a great threat to us, so I made such a decision." We don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to fight. ”

Pannis looked up at Catherine a few times and nodded, "Well, your will, my lady. ”
