033 Pay back with your body

"It's over, let's go down."

Ringer exhaled a long breath and relaxed.

Lanya hugged his thighs tightly, not moving.

"Don't! I won't go down! I'm going to stay in this tree for the rest of my life! ”

She pursed her lips and looked serious.

"You can treat me like a tree."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Ringer jumped from the branch and landed on the body of the fallen boar, and Lanya sat on his shoulders, clamping his neck, and a pair of small hands firmly clasped in front of his forehead for fear of falling.

After leaving the swamp range, Lan Ya was put down, and Ringer used water to generate magic to wash away the black mud from his body and clothes.

Seria who came out said:

"Can you also help me rinse up, I will definitely be laughed at when I go back to the city with this embarrassed look."

At this time, Seria was covered in muddy water, like a clay man.

"No problem, please stand still."

"Oh! Come on. ”

Seria's legs were slightly spread and shoulder-width apart, and she looked like she was ready to fight.

Ringer wanted to remind her not to be so nervous, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, raised his hand, aimed it at her body, and a strong stream of water erupted from his palm, hitting the petite body, from top to bottom, from face to toe.

The sludge cleared, the fair skin was revealed again, and the mud figure turned into a youthful girl with short silver hair, with long lines, full and moist - referring to the muscles.

Bathed in the water, Seria suddenly bent down and took off her shoes and over-the-knee socks.

"It's troublesome here, too, and it's very uncomfortable to be sticky in your feet."

“OK。”

The water flowed down and began to wash away the delicate feet, returning them to a porcelain color.

Seria straightened up, wiped a handful of water from her face, and smiled cheerfully, "Magicians are really useful, uh, I mean magic is very convenient, not to use you as a tool like a water sprinkler." ”

She tugged at the light leather armor on her upper body again, and half-jokingly said, "I really want to take off and take a good shower." ”

At this time, Lanya walked to Ringer's side, looked at Selia bathed in the magic water, her little face was tense, and suddenly said, "Wash enough, I'll wash too." ”

As he spoke, he threw himself between the two of them, blocking the water with his body, and the light robe instantly clinged to his body.

Seria squinted and smiled, "I'm almost there, thank you." He stepped aside, put on his socks and shoes, and dried his clothes with a little bit of recovered air.

After the three of them were cleaned up, they were ready to return to the city to hand in the mission.

Ringer glanced back at the boar carcass under the tree and asked, "Isn't there anything to take from it as evidence?" ”

She shook her head and said, "No. ”

"So that no one will lie about the results and cheat them out of payment?"

Seria glanced at Ringer again, and asked such a novice question with a serious face, it seemed that they were really newcomers.

"There will be guild people to determine the completion of the mission, and if the lie is discovered, it will not be able to get along in the human city. If you're interested in the boar's body, take it with you, and its flesh and teeth should sell for a lot of gold.

However, I would like to leave it to the villagers, who have wreaked havoc on the farmland, and many of the farmers have been so badly injured that they can no longer work. And they also have to pay a bounty, and if they can sell the boar, it should make it a lot easier for them. ”

Seria sighed suddenly.

"The whole village has only accumulated a reward of 89 gold, but the mission goal is so difficult, no wonder no one has accepted this commission."

Ringer had no interest in the gold coins of this world, and after listening to Seria's words, he said:

"Then let it use its body to repay the villagers it has hurt."

After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to return the remuneration to them, and I will pay your share." ”

Seria looked at him in amazement, "Are you really going to do this?" ”

"I don't think the village is rich, and the village chief's house is also very dilapidated, so don't want this 89 gold."

Seria laughed, "I'm okay with that. ”

"Where's my share?" Lanya, who was following behind, gently tugged at Ringer's cloak.

"Both, both."

……

The three returned to the Adventurers' Guild, and when they handed in the task, Ringer offered to return the payment.

The green-haired elf elder sister at the guild counter looked surprised and confirmed to Ringer, "Mr. Ringer, are you sure you want to return the payment?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, there will be a staff tomorrow to return the gold coins deposited by the villagers in the guild, I wish you a good time."

After leaving the counter, return to Seria and Lanya.

In her hand, Seria tossed a 100 gold coin, which Ringer had paid her.

"Come on, I'll give you a drink. You're so generous, I can't be stingy. ”

Seria gestured to the window table in the hall.

Ringer had not yet drunk the wine of this world, so he was a little interested, so he sat down at the wine table, and Lanya reluctantly followed and sat next to him.

The waiter came over with three glasses full of sparkling wine, and placed three brown wood wine glasses on the table, and Ringer's nose fluttered, and he smelled a smell of malt.

"It smells good."

Seria raised her glass, took a big sip, and said contentedly, "This is the best ale here, and I don't usually want to drink it." ”

Ringer picked up the glass and blew open the foam, which was dark brown in color with bubbles pouring out.

He took a sip of it, and it was mellow, with a fine foam, slightly bitter, and generally not bad, a bit like the dark beer of the earth.

"By the way, can you use your magic to help me ice it?"

Seria reached over her glass and pleaded.

"Absolutely."

Ringer smiled and reached out his hand, condensing several crystal-clear ice cubes in his palm, two into her glass, and two into her own.

"Thanks."

Seria took another big gulp, letting out a sigh of contentment.

"I really didn't expect that wild boar to be so tenacious, it really took a lot of work. It feels good to team up with people. ”

Ringer laughed, "Want to join our squad?" Although it was just established yesterday. ”

He was impressed by Seria's skills, and if there was such a teammate, most of the tasks could be easily completed.

Selia leaned back in her chair and waved her hand, "But I'm used to being alone, and your vice-captain doesn't seem to welcome me." ”

Lan Ya, who had been unable to speak, blushed, raised her wine glass and took a sip, her face flushed even more.

"Hmph, this wine can't compare to Ringer's wine at all, it's not good at all."

"Oh?" Selia's expression moved, and she looked at Ringer with interest, "Do you know how to bartend?" ”

"Hehe, I understand."

Ringer's smile was full of confidence.

"Can you give me a taste?" Seria's eyes lit up, and her tone revealed curiosity.

Ringer hesitated, as he wasn't sure if Seria would be able to walk into the Emerald Bar.

"Hey, how can you say that we are also comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side, don't we give this face?" Seria wrinkled her small nose.

Lan Ya's little legs swayed under the table, and said happily: "Haha, not everyone can drink his wine." ”

Seria's heroic eyebrows twitched, and the more she did, the more she wanted to drink.

Ringer stood up and walked towards the guild door.

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
