Chapter 9: My Name is Lane
In the impression of the little goblin, human beings are only divided into two kinds: one is to take money to help you do things, and the other is to take money and not help you, but the ranger in front of him actually bluntly stated that he did not want to be paid.
This made him feel so incredible that he asked a sentence that he regretted afterwards, "You...... Are you sure you really don't want any benefits? ”
"Of course it's true."
Ryan laughed.
Advantage?
The Fairy Rover subclass is the benefit I need, and it's so much more advanced than the Wild Fruit or something!
"Anyway, that's the way it is," Ryan kept smiling, "so now you're willing to tell me what kind of difficulties you're facing?" ”
"This ......"
Just as the goblin was hesitating, another goblin flew out, "Bette, I don't know what you're hesitating about?" This kind man is willing to help us, but you don't respond. ”
"Marika, I'm ......"
"Well, Bette, if you still want to marry me, you should change your hesitant habit of getting things done," Marika flew towards Ryan, "Dear adventurer, as you can see, we are in trouble. ”
Seeing this, Bate couldn't help but bow her head full of guilt, thinking that if these words were replaced by herself, she would never be able to say them; Ryan, on the other hand, put on a posture of listening attentively, quietly listening to what the female leprechaun had to say.
"We've lived here for generations, probably two or three hundred years," Marika recalled, leprechauns don't live as long as elves, so it's quite a "long history" for them, "but recently we've had a lot of gnolls around our territory, and there are a lot of them, about twenty!" ”
"They have a very ferocious temperament, not only do they cause a lot of damage to the surrounding ecology, but they also attack us from time to time, and no one of my people, including my father and me, has a good opinion of them."
"But there are too many of them, and they're hard to deal with."
"So, adventurer, can you help us deal with them, if you will?"
"If you could, you would be the eternal benefactor of our Guderian family!"
Ryan didn't deliberately correct the mistake of the term "adventurer", it doesn't matter in itself, the point is on the content that Marika just came up with the commission - the jackal!
Earlier, based on his actual needs, Ryan set up the Gnoll as his old enemy, and now Marika's commission to himself happens to be related to the Gnoll.
What a nice coincidence!
"It looks like the gnolls have quite a few quarters in this forest," Ryan thought to himself, "and it's time to wipe out a few." ”
Gnolls.
Perhaps only the druids were willing to accept them out of balance. In Ryan's eyes, the Gnolls are very typical monsters of the evil camp, and the more they survive, the greater the potential harm to the village.
Seeing that Ryan was pondering, thinking that the other party was worried about something, Marika couldn't help but be full of worry and said, "Dear adventurer, we don't want you to fight these gnolls alone, in fact, our people are already fighting the gnolls, you just need to help us defeat them." ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Ryan shrugged briskly, "Where are they, take me there." By the way, by the way, my name is Ryan. Brando, just call Ryan when you call me in the future. ”
At this moment, even Marika was stunned for a second or two, before she saluted Ryan in the air full of gratitude, "Thank you!" Then please ...... Come with me! ”
……
The area where the elf legion was fighting with the gnolls was not far from their territory, and it was probably only more than three hundred meters apart, and if Ryan had chosen the other one when facing two forks in the road, he would have been able to see them fighting.
The battle situation was similar to what Marika described to Ryan on the road, the number of gnolls dispatched was about nearly twenty, and the number of goblins was a little more, but at most there were about seven or eight more. Although the goblins are small in size, good at using poison weapons, and making ointments, Naruya's small size also reminds Xiao, facing jackals who are several times their physique and extremely fierce, many times the attacks caused can only tickle them.
Hiding place, Baker looked at the clearing in front of him and asked nervously, "Lord Lane, what should we do now?" ”
"Get to work, of course," Ryan took off his longbow, "Marika, want to come with me?" Next, I'm going to take out one of the unlucky ones, these gnolls seem to be in good spirits, and if nothing else, they should spot us right away, and that's when we and your people flank them. ”
Marika nodded vigorously and took off her longbow, the difference between the personality of the leprechaun and the Pik's spirit is so great, the latter is generally curious and shy as a cat, but the leprechaun has the opposite temperament, and they will be more courageous in the face of evil things, even though they are not actually proficient in this way.
Seeing this, Bett said anxiously, "But, Marika, your father is obviously ......"
"Have you forgotten, Bette? This matter obviously has nothing to do with Ryan, but he is still willing to stand up for us," Marika shook her head, full of firmness, "In that case, what right do I have to back down." ”
"But ......"
"Say no more," Marika glanced at Bet, "I am very disappointed in your performance today, perhaps I should tell my father about your character, and let him warn you not to pursue me and talk to me in the future!" ”
"Bette is just worried that you're going to get hurt," Ryan curled his bow and aimed, "I'm not one of yours, but I can really feel that Miss Marika is very beautiful, and the same should be true in all other aspects." ”
Sou!
An arrow struck an unfortunate gnolll in the back of the heart, and since it had been labeled a "nemesis" and was secretly attacking, a single arrow of the gnoll was taken away from the plane forever.
"So I think you can give Bet a little time, because it should be normal to worry about the opposite sex like Miss Marika," Ryan stood up with a smile, and by this time several gnolls had already spotted them, "-of course, Miss Marika, it's time for us to fight together." ”
“…… Well.
Marika retracted her gaze from Bet and raised her refined daint to aim at a gnoll lunging at her.
