Chapter 36: Arriving at the Farm, the commission begins [Seeking to Follow]
"Welcome adventurers."
"I am Brendon Zeman, a farmer, a businessman, and a farmer."
Three mule carts drove into the farm and came to a steady stop in the clearing, shouting.
The adventurers jumped off the mule cart one after another, moving their sour joints.
In front of everyone, a halfling man less than a meter tall was introducing himself.
The hair on the back of his hands and feet was extremely vigorous, but there was not half a stubble left on his face.
He had a straw hat buttoned over his head, and his linen clothes were not very proper, and he looked like he was in a rotten sack.
That's right, this guy is the owner of the farmstead, Brendon Zeman.
Halflings are also a humanoid race, and their limbs are more coordinated than those of gnomes, but they are far less physically than the strong Ironfist Dwarves.
It is worth mentioning that the halflings are extremely sensitive to mathematics and business, have a shrewd calculation that far exceeds that of most intelligent races, and are also recognized as an opportunist by Naroa.
Most of these short creatures stay with humans and dwarves.
They range from reliable and industrious peasants to thieves and bad fraudsters.
Either way, halflings are part of Naroa's many ethnic groups.
Even Chen Xuan didn't look at him too much, just used [Insight] to look at the situation.
The possibility of a conspiracy on the part of this guy has been ruled out.
Compared to the boar people who are good at sarcasm and provocation, halflings are not too unusual an ethnic group.
His nerves had already been exercised.
The dwarven warrior with a cigarette in his mouth was the last to get out of the car, and he nodded to Chen Xuan, showing a hint of kindness.
Beast trainer Ophelia snorted at the indifferent vengeful dwarf, holding a straw and standing beside Chen Xuan with an open can of Coke.
The unpleasantness between the two occurred during the journey.
While Ophelia was babbling about how she had tamed monsters.
The young dwarven warrior, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
He said, "All monsters deserve to die, and go to hell with those who try to tame them." ”
Ophelia's frustration was provoked, and she immediately drew her arrow and shouted to poke the dwarf's ass.
At this time, Chen Xuan mediated.
The wide pockets conceal the movement of fetching.
He gave the vengeful dwarves a pack of soft white sand cigarettes and matches, and Ophelia a can of Coke and straws, and told them how to enjoy the goodies.
The two put aside their argument for the time being.
The dwarven warrior named Sidney Stonehammer became a little more relaxed in just the right amount of nicotine.
Fine tobacco and a filter are much more comfortable than smoking a pipe.
The animal trainer also took a great interest in the bubble-filled sweet water cola.
She even said that when she returned to Magdam City, she would do business with Chen Xuan!
These bubbling little sweet waters can take the city by storm!
Chen Xuan naturally has no reason to refuse, he has been trying to find cross-border business opportunities.
You must know that doing business anywhere requires people and accurate market research.
Fortunately, the continent of Naroa itself is multi-ethnic, inherently culturally diverse and inclusive.
The natives of Naroa are far more receptive to novelty than most of the ordinary people in the Blue Star.
This gave Chen Xuan a great chance.
The shrewd owner of the farmstead just said hello and left.
Farmsteads can provide food and lodging for adventurers, but all at a cost.
As for the commission itself, it's also very simple, mainly to investigate and kill the monsters roaming around.
If you find a new monster cave, you just need to give feedback in time.
Naturally, a new crusade commission will be released in the future.
All the adventurers concluded a simple distribution contract together, to the effect that they would entrust Jin to divide it equally, each of them choosing a direction to investigate, and returning to the farm every two hours to meet until the pseudo-night came.
They will leave Brendon Zeman Farm when the next Naroya Day arrives.
Each person will take care of the harvest of killing monsters.
The rules are basically the same as for similar orders.
This kind of log-level commissioned investigation order, the atmosphere of action is still relatively relaxed.
The six adventurers chose to set off immediately and head west to investigate.
The dwarven warrior Sidney Stone Hammer stuffed the remaining cigarette into the inner layer of his armor, lightly hammered Chen Xuan's chest, and then walked towards the east of the farm.
Ragnar, the Boarman, mingled with the team of four, haggling over the peach wine with Brendon Zeman, the owner of the Halfling Farm, and seemed unconcerned about the commission.
This is normal, and the order itself is a bad task.
This is compared to commissions that require you to kill a characteristic monster or bring back a specific item with a clear goal.
There is no requirement for the investigation order, as long as the individual is willing, even if he lies down until he returns to the city.
Ophelia offered to join Chen Xuan and Rebecca's team.
The three of them did not rush into action, but walked out of the farm, found the peasant woman who was working in the pea field, and asked about the situation.
After all, Chen Xuan didn't plan to mess around.
While he was carrying out the entrusted mission, killing some wandering monsters by the way was his real purpose.
The chainsaw he carried on his shoulders was already hungry and thirsty.
From the peasant woman's mouth, Chen Xuan learned that the footprints and movements of the monsters were mainly in the east and north.
Sidney, bitter and vengeful, has gone to the east.
The south side is the direction they came from, and it doesn't matter if they probe it or not.
Therefore, Chen Xuan and the others had no choice but to investigate the north side of the farm, which happened to be in the direction of the Eya Forest.
When leaving from the north gate of the farm, Ragnar, the boar man who was drinking fruit wine in a wooden cup, looked at their back and showed an inexplicable smile.
……
Walk through the fields and logging strips that have been cleared to the north of the farm.
Chen Xuan, Rebecca, and Ophelia soon entered the forest.
Rebecca, the kitten, is a pioneer, with a vigorous and fast movement and a sharper sense of smell than a human.
Chen Xuan, who was carrying a chainsaw, was in the middle, and at the end was Ophelia holding a hardwood straight bow.
After about two miles away from the farm, they found a series of dense footprints.
"Inferior monster goblins."
"The most common stinking shit in this area."
Ophelia crouched down and looked at the footprints, and quickly came to a conclusion.
In the caves around Magdam, there are literally more goblins than there are louse on homeless people.
In some areas, not even a single goblin is visible, while in others there are even variants of goblins.
There is also diversity in the Monster Cave.
The kitten lady also returned from the front and began to report her findings.
"There are also large footprints in the mud not far ahead."
"I also found the paw prints of the Nightshade Wolf..."
"Conservatively speculated, there should be no less than six goblins and two nightshadewolves passing through here."
"The traces are still fresh, and they won't last more than two naroa days."
"No traces of large monsters have been found for the time being!"
As soon as her words fell, the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" came from the shadows of the dense forest in front of her!
……
