Chapter 36: The Spark

And so the battle ended.

In a way that many people didn't expect at all.

Walking in the mountains and forests, the expressions of the militiamen were a little sluggish, the huge boar carcass had been tied up at the moment, and the militiamen dragged it down the mountain, although it was said to be a different species, after it died, it was just a beast, and it could naturally be used for food. What's more, this is still the "culprit" who attacked and destroyed the village, so it is natural to bring it back to the village to "show the corpse to the public".

While there is nothing wrong with it, it is a bit too exciting for the militia.

Frankly, they had only seen the trip as a way to show the noble gentleman the destructive power of the beast, and had no intention of fighting each other. Because of this, when the wild boar spotted them, the militiamen's first instinct was to flee as soon as possible. But what they didn't expect was that the harvest of this trip was far beyond their expectations - not only did they kill the terrible xenomorph, but they didn't even have any casualties, which was far beyond everyone's expectations. Originally, in their opinion, even if they wanted to destroy this beast, they were afraid that many people would be injured and possibly even die, which they could bear.

Now, as if they had come home with a stone in their arms, they were at a loss to find that they had picked up the gold nugget, and they chatted excitedly with each other, eager to tell their friends, relatives, and everyone they knew. And the young nobleman, at this moment in their hearts is full of mystery, these militiamen have not seen much of the world, but they can also see that this young nobleman is really powerful, how powerful is it, at least more powerful than them and the group of adventurers, oh yes, much more powerful than this wild boar.

Because of this, on the way back, the militia captain also invited Yu Lian very warmly, hoping that he could accept the hospitality of the villagers, but Yu Lian didn't care about this, he politely refused the other party's invitation, and said that he came out only on vacation, and didn't want to be involved. Although they didn't know what the upper class was doing, the villagers also understood that they shouldn't take the liberty of disrupting each other's schedules, so after Yulian rejected their proposal, the crowd didn't say anything.

Compared to these simple villagers, what those adventurers thought was not so simple.

"Big brother, do you really think that nobleman killed him?"

The young swordsman shook his head, a little unimpressed.

"I don't believe he had that kind of skill, it was probably an accident, we have all seen the power of the boar, maybe it hit some hard stone, and then it broke its head, which is not surprising. ”

"But you also see the wound, which is clearly man-made. ”

Scar frowned at the young swordsman's words, although he knew very well that the other party's heart was not bad, but he was too stubborn in some things. Of course, most of the time, this stubbornness is harmless, but at other times, it can get into trouble. Of course, Scar knew very well that his companion hated the nobility very much, thinking that they were nothing more than a bunch of parasites that could only suck blood, and of course, this was also a common problem that many young people have.

However, when facing a young nobleman with high strength, he had to consider the danger, although the other party didn't care about his companion's faux pas before, but Scar also knew that this was also a kind of nobility. However, it is hard to say what kind of treatment this reckless creature will be received if he crosses the line - after all, there is a limit to human patience. It's the same with the aristocracy.

"So what?"

However, in the face of Scar's admonition, the young swordsman apparently did not pay attention to it.

"He's still so young, maybe only in his early twenties, how can he have the strength to kill a mid-level xenomorph? Okay, big brother, even if that wound is man-made, so what? He's a nobleman, a nobleman! As long as he has money, who can't be invited? Wait, I bet with you, that guy definitely has a powerful guardian by his side, that's why this guy will follow us into the forest so confidently, what is he for, isn't it just to show his strength in front of us? I'm sure he's pretending! And his bodyguards did everything, I'm sure!"

Saying this, the young swordsman nodded vigorously, apparently convinced of this himself.

"Yes, absolutely. ”

"Well, even so. ”

In the face of his stubbornness, Scar frowned, he wanted to say more, but he also knew that if he continued to say it, it might provoke the other party's rebellion, and if there was any trouble at that time, it would be difficult to clean up.

"Even if he does have a guardian, you have to understand that the strength of that guardian is definitely not weak, and if he can do this without us detecting it, it is very likely to be a high-level swordsman. Our teacher is a high-level swordsman, you should understand, ordinary nobles can't invite such a guardian! No matter whether his own strength is strong or weak, if he really has a bodyguard with such high skills to follow him, then he is not a target to provoke at will, do you want to cause trouble for our teacher?"

Hearing this, the young swordsman finally restrained himself, he frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then shook his head.

"I'm certainly not going to get into trouble with our teachers........."

"You're not too small. ”

Ska grimaced and continued.

"Don't always be a child, even if you don't like people, but don't always put it on your face, it's not a good thing. Even if that noble gentleman wants to show off his power, and he doesn't harm you, why should you care so much?"

"But I just can't get used to the arrogance of these nobles. ”

The young swordsman snorted coldly.

"Aren't they just a little more money, a little more status and power than us, why are they so high?"

Hearing this, Scar frowned, he opened his mouth to say something, but finally shook his head helplessly.

"Now that the xenomorph is dead, and our mission is complete, I think we need to get ready, and then continue on the road, you know, we still have a long way to go in the trial, don't be distracted by this kind of thing. ”

As expected, when the militiamen returned to the village with the boar's carcass, they were soon warmly welcomed by the villagers, and at the same time, Yulian also took a timely step back and left the troublesome entertainment to the militiamen to deal with, and he returned to the hotel to get a good rest. But Yu Lian didn't expect that he saw two familiar figures at the gate of the hotel.

"Hello, dear sir. ”

Seeing Yu Lian's arrival, the middle-aged swordsman led by him stood up and gave him a swordsman salute, while Yu Lian nodded in response. Frankly speaking, this trip to Youlian is still very rewarding. Originally, for Yu Lian, he didn't want to mix with these villagers, it was not out of arrogance of the nobles, but because Yu Lian's current identity was semi-secret after all, although these villagers would not take each other too seriously, but it was always good to be careful.

However, when the militia captain told him that the beast was a xenomorph, Yuren changed his mind, after all, few people knew exactly how xenos appeared, and few knew about such dangerous creatures. However, Yuren is quite familiar with this - there are only two kinds of influences that produce different species, either external magical effects or internal magical effects.

And now, after killing the xenomorph, Yulian did not feel the fluctuation of magic power on the boar's body, that is, this wild boar did not swallow any magical substance and mutated, but was affected by external magic and mutated.

This is already a great gain for Yulian.

Danger often comes with opportunity, and the more dangerous it is, the more opportunity there is.

I really didn't expect that there was such a good thing hidden in the twilight forest.

For the first time in his life, Yulian felt that he still knew too little about his territory.

It's just that when Her Royal Highness the princess knows about this, what kind of expression will she showβ€”just thinking about it now already makes Yulian look forward to it very much.

"What are you............ Going?"

Fantasizing about Offariel's possible reaction, Yuren smiled gracefully and set his gaze on the middle-aged swordsman's waist.

"Yes, dear sir. ”

Scar nodded.

"You've gotten rid of that dangerous monster for the villagers, so we have no reason to stay as mercenaries, and I think I'll travel to the West with my companions, and it will be a good test for us. ”

"Well, then, I wish you all a smooth journey. ”

"Thank you for your blessings, dear sir. ”

Saying this, Scar nodded to Yulian and was about to leave, but at this moment, Yulian suddenly asked.

"I beg your pardon for being rude, you go to the West......... Will you pass through a dark canyon?"

"To tell you the truth, that's one of our destinations, dear sir. ”

Faced with Yuren's question, Scar was stunned for a moment before answering.

"It is rumored that there are many ferocious beasts there, and it is a good place for adventurers to challenge themselves, and we will not miss it. ”

"In that case, could you please do me a favor?"

"This............ Please speak up. ”

Hearing this young nobleman's request, Scar thought silently for a moment, although it was not surprising to say that they were mercenaries and collected money to do things, but what did this young nobleman want them to do?

"My request is simple. ”

Yuren's smile was very bright.

"To the east of the dark canyon, there's a small town, there's ......... Well, it's very unique, and I think you can find it if you go. I only hope that when you reach the Glen of the Dark, you will be able to go to that town and convey to me the message that 'the white roses have bloomed again', and that will be enough. ”

"The white roses have bloomed again............... I see, dear sir. ”

Scar whispered the words, then he nodded, and Yuren smiled gently, and then he took out five gold coins and placed them in the hands of the middle-aged swordsman.

"Well, that's the reward, and I hope you can complete the task successfully. ”
