Chapter 56: You Are My Eyes
"Mr. Sodick mean to let Shauna go and explore that town?"
Hearing the halfling's request, Angelica raised a beautiful eyebrow.
"You also know that the green dragon is wreaking havoc in the town, and you let a little adult owl do such a dangerous thing?"
Facing the girl's angry tone, Sodick's little face was full of the word "embarrassment".
He doesn't want to.
However, the rough men under his command don't play with birds......
"Well, Miss Angelica, we can discuss this matter."
The halfling rubbed his hands together, his tone full of pleading.
"Mr. Sodick, although I am very grateful that you are willing to let me and Wren hitchhike the caravan, it is ......"
Wren on the side had to cough lightly under the crazy eyes of the halfling.
"Ahem, Angelica, Shauna is your partner, why don't you ask her wishes first?"
"Well, well, Wren, since you say so."
Miss Ranger was still very face-saving about Wren's words, turned her head, brushed the owl Shauna's feathers, and asked softly:
"Shauna, my partner, would you like to go there to investigate the situation?"
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Hemer.
Shauna's eyes, which took up more than half of her face, rolled around and let out a "cooing" sound from her mouth.
Miss Ranger's expression suddenly became subtle.
She looked at Sodik, who was looking at her expectantly, squinted-_-, and said in a strange tone:
Shauna asked, if you go, can you have dried fish to eat?
Well, because of Angelica's rough personality, before leaving, she forgot to prepare her animal companion's favorite dried fish......
This also led to the fact that in the past few days, Shauna had to run alone into the woods to catch wild rats to eat when the caravan was camping.
"Dried fish? Yes! ”
Hearing such a "simple" request from the other party, Sodik was simply overjoyed, patted his chest and nodded again and again to reassure:
"Don't worry, there are still pickled small dried fish in the caravan, as long as she wants to eat it, I promise to measure it enough! And, when we get to Lahore City, I'll have someone fry her a big bucket of dried fish, the kind that will be fried until it's yellow! ”
This kind of thing, for a businessman like Sodike, is estimated to add up to less than a Golden Eagle Coin.
"Goo! Cuckoo!!! ”
Shauna, the owl who heard that she was about to "free the little fish", was suddenly full of motivation, and after chirping softly a few times, she flapped her wings and flew off the girl's shoulders and flew in the direction of Hemer Town.
Looking at the animal companion that quickly turned into a small dot in her field of vision, Angelica rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Shauna...... When did you get to fly so fast? ”
At this speed, it's at least seventy or eighty kilometers per hour, right?
"Sometimes, in a certain situation, people can push their limits, and animals are no exception."
Wren, who explained casually, was a little amused in his heart.
This foodie owl, for the sake of small dried fish, is really hard enough!
After a few minutes, Miss Ranger's expression turned serious.
"Shauna told me that she saw the town, and that the horrible monster was spewing smoke into the town, and she was a little scared to go there, but to observe from a distance in the woods."
The terrifying monster is probably the green dragon; And the so-called "mouth smoke" should be said to be the dragon's breath.
Because the Ranger's animal companions and the Ranger do not have the ability of [vision sharing], only the ability of [Mind Communication], Shauna can only "dictate" the scene she sees, and then Angelica translates it to others.
Fortunately, Angelica used her [domesticated animal] skill points to be extremely high in order to contract Shauna at that time, so that she could "translate" Shauna's owl language without any errors.
"Miss Angelica, may you please ask Shauna about the size of the green dragon, and how is the situation in Hemertown?"
The halfling asked nervously.
"Wait a minute."
Angelica responded simply, and then reconnected with her animal companion who was acting as a "war correspondent" in Hemertown.
In less than a minute, Miss Ranger spoke again.
Shauna said that the terrifying monster was very large, and compared to the other party, it looked like a little kingfisher next to an owl.
What is this wonderful owl parable?
"Angelica, let Shauna treat you as a unit of comparison, and ask her, how many of you are in that green dragon."
Wren understood what the halfling meant, and added with a smile.
Glancing at the paladin, Miss Ranger pouted and began to connect again.
She said, "The green dragon is as long as I am ten...... Wren, why don't you compare yourself to the green dragon! ”
"Ahem, isn't Shauna the most familiar with you?"
Wren coughed lightly, then glanced at the halfling, both seeing a hint of horror in each other's eyes.
This time, they're really in big trouble!
The girl is only half a head lower than Rennes, and Rennes's height is one meter eighty-five, that is, the girl's height is about one meter seven.
Ten maidens are that long, that is......
This green dragon is at least seventeen meters long from head to tail!
A green dragon of this size can be in adulthood, to say the least.
An adult green dragon with a challenge level of 13!
How does this work?
Can an open-hanging paladin who has not reached level 6, a new ranger who is level 4, and a dozen melee professionals who are about level 7 take down an adult green dragon that challenges level 13?
I want to eat it!
After drinking a few bottles of vodka, you are drunk like this, do you want to add some peanuts to your brother?
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Wren asked in a bitter voice:
"How's the situation in Hemertown?"
If it was really an adult green dragon, then the entire town of Hemer would not last long under the dragon's breath at all, and it would become a ruin emitting thick smoke.
However, the girl's reaction was a little strange.
"Well, Shauna said, the people of the town were still resisting, and the horrible monster just breathed a few puffs of smoke into the town from time to time, and then it just circled in the sky. Wren, Shauna meant, the green dragon only occasionally spits dragon breath, and instead of attacking the town, it was the kobolds and goblins who attacked. Hey, Shauna said, and humans like us? ”
At the end, Miss Ranger's voice suddenly raised, and it was clear that the news had taken her by surprise as well.
"Why didn't this green dragon personally participate in the attack?"
Receiving the information from the front, the halfling's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
"Maybe it's the dragon's arrogance, maybe it's someone or something in Hemer Town that he fears, who knows."
Wren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"But no matter what, if you don't drive this green dragon away, if you don't drive these kobolds and goblins away, then over time, the town of Hemmer is in danger of falling completely."
Wren slowly straightened his spine.
"Evil, Mr. Sodic, is raging, and I, as a paladin, cannot turn a blind eye to it. I'm going to Hemer to help the townspeople and banish evil! ”
The oath of vengeance seemed to ring in Wren's ears again:
When evil forces slaughter the helpless inhabitants, when some people turn against the will of the people, when a thief's guild is too domineering, when a terrifying dragon runs rampant in the countryside......
I, as a black knight with the idea of revenge, have drawn my sword and risen to the challenge, just to destroy evil, only for my own beliefs!
