There was no one else in the tavern, it was very quiet, just the right place to chat.

Finding a random place to sit down, Lu Xi showed that he was very interested in the mercenaries he had just met, and asked Ayina about those mercenaries.

But in fact, what Lu Xi wants to know more is what the profession of "mercenary" in the other world represents.

Ayina found a clean cup behind the bar in the tavern, and went to the back kitchen of the tavern to pour a glass of water for Lu Xi, and then opened her mouth to talk to Lu Xi.

"Mr. Clyde, they came to the village five nights ago, and my father said that the name of their mercenary group is the Dragon Hunter Mercenary Group, which is a mid-level mercenary group, with a total of seven members, and Mr. Clyde is the leader of the mercenary group."

Lu Xi couldn't help but interrupt, "Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group? Is it famous? ”

Ayina was stunned for a moment, scratching her head embarrassedly, "I don't know, my father didn't tell me, but it should be very powerful, after all, it's an intermediate mercenary group, my father said that to become an intermediate mercenary group, you must have an intermediate elemental warrior or a member of an intermediate elemental mage." ”

Lu Xi pondered, indeed, she had only seen three of them, and she had already felt the difference between them and ordinary civilians, although the village chief of Luli felt that it was also dangerous, but it was not at all comparable to the sense of oppression brought by these people.

"Have they been living there since they came to the village? That Mr. Clyde just now seems to have just come back from outside, what did he do, you know? Lu Xi showed an interested expression.

"Yes, Mr. Clyde, they have been staying at Kenler's house, and I heard that they brought a lot of things with them when they came, but I slept too soundly that night to see what Mr. Clyde brought."

"Mr. Clyde, they go out every day, usually in the Black Forest, as if they are looking for something, I followed them once, at the edge of the forest, but then Mr. Clyde said that they were going deep into the Black Forest, it was very dangerous, so he didn't ask me to go with them."

"The monster meat used for tonight's bonfire was hunted by Mr. Clyde from the Problack Forest."

These are not big secrets, the daily actions of the mercenary group, the villagers of Kuwa Village see it, and they can get a clear answer to anyone who asks, and it is Aiina who is not weak at all when she answers.

Lu Xi didn't continue to ask in depth, so her purpose would seem too obvious, so she asked someone else, "That Ms. Hailin, will she also go out every day?" ”

Ayina thought for a moment and shook her head, "I haven't seen Lady Helene go out, she seems to be in the yard all the time. ”

"Haven't you ever been in the yard?" Lu Xi was curious.

"Mr. Clyde doesn't let people go near the yard, and if we need to do something, we'll finish it in the front room and take it to the backyard. My father said that Mr. Clyde must have brought something dangerous, and he was afraid of hurting us, so he didn't let us come close. ”

Ayina's eyes were full of envy, "McTon's story said that mercenaries are like this, often accompanied by danger. ”

"You want to be a mercenary?" Lu Xi felt that Ayina's expression at this time was very interesting.

"Hey, hey." Ayina looked a little embarrassed in replying, but her tone was firm, "Yes, I want to be a mercenary like Mr. Clyde." ”

"I want to travel with my companions to the kingdoms, to see the mountains and seas mentioned in the story, to hunt dangerous monsters, to search for treasures in the dragon's lair, to witness the tree of life of the elves, and to see how beautiful the Kraken really is."

How to say it, looking at Ayi's appearance, Lu Xi couldn't help but think of the scene when he was in elementary school, in a Chinese composition class called "I want to be XX when I grow up", and spoke enthusiastically with his classmates.

Innocent and innocent, but when he grows up, he has become a "social animal", and none of the beautiful imaginations he once conceived have been realized, but he is tortured by the exploitation of work every day.

Lu Xi didn't know what a mercenary was like, but it would never be as good as Ayina said.

"Hahaha, you kid thinks too well, mercenaries are not the kind of good things you think." The not-so-solid door of the tavern was pushed open, and a man in his thirties walked in, saying Lu Xi's thoughts like a mouthful.

Lu Xi looked up, an uncle with a scruffy beard and unkempt beard, who looked like he was full of various life experiences, had already walked in, he was also wearing leather armor, but the leather armor may have been damaged too many times, only half of it was left, and he leaned over and wore it on his body, only protecting an important position, and carrying a huge weapon behind his back.

"Boy, where's the old man in the tavern? Ask him to bring me two barrels of wine. ”

Without waiting for Ayina to react, the man had already finished his request to himself.

"Didn't you say they smelled weird? Why do you still want to drink. Another voice came from behind the man, "Hurry back, the boss is still waiting for us." ”

The young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old looked impatient, he was not wearing leather armor or armor, but he was wearing a new black robe, embroidered with unclear dark lines, and straps at the hands and ankles to facilitate movement, and a silver sword hanging from his waist, but it didn't look like it was used much, more like an ornament.

"The taste is a little weird and it's not that you can't drink it, it's good to have wine to drink in this kind of place, I'm not so picky, young master, the boss is on the other side, such a distance of two steps, you can go back by yourself, you don't have to wait for me." The man reached out and plucked his ears, looking unconcerned.

The young man snorted with a cold face, "The boss said that we will work in pairs and take care of each other to avoid accidents, and you haven't gone back with me to see the boss yet, so we can't be separated." ”

"Okay, young master, what accidents can there be in such a big village." The man rolled his eyes unceremoniously.

Ayina waited until the two of them were almost finished arguing before saying hello, and it seemed that she was used to seeing this scene, "Mr. Kagli and Mr. Xiulan, there is going to be a bonfire in the village at night, and Old Kett has already taken all the wine away, so he is not here." ”

"Tsk." Kagli touched a handful of his hair unhappily, didn't embarrass Ayina, turned around and walked out, "Okay, let's go, the eldest young master." ”

Xiulan ignored Kagli, his gaze swept over Lu Xi, who had been silent, frowned, but didn't say anything, turned around and followed Kagli, "Hmph, it's a waste of time." ”

Lu Xi lowered her eyes and thought, if the few mercenaries she had seen before were more in line with her stereotype of mercenaries, then Xiulan's existence definitely exceeded her imagination.

Xiu Lan must be a mercenary from a noble background, and his intuition told Lu Xi that what can prove this is the title of "eldest young master" in Kagli's mouth, as well as the clean and brand-new clothes on Xiu Lan's body, which are definitely not worn by ordinary civilians.

"Miss Lucy, what are you thinking?" Ayina noticed Lu Xi's trance.

"That mercenary gentleman named Xiulan looks very young, can he become a mercenary at such a young age?" Lu Xi pulled the topic to Xiulan.

"Well, Mr. Xiulan is indeed very young, there seems to be no age limit to become a mercenary, but if you want to become a mercenary, you must at least become a low-level elemental warrior, I don't know if I can become an elemental warrior, there is still a long time before I become an adult at the age of sixteen." Ayina was deflated.

Lu Xi keenly grasped the point in this sentence: to become an elemental warrior, there is an age requirement.

But when this question came out, it seemed that she was too ignorant, so Lu Xi had to skip this question and ask about the monsters she was most concerned about.

"Aina, have you seen a lot of monsters? Are they all dangerous? I don't think I've seen any dangerous monsters in the forest. ”

"I've seen a lot of monsters in the Black Forest, and only low-level monsters are more dangerous, but Miss Lucy, it's better that you haven't seen low-level monsters." Ayina told the truth honestly.

After all, if he saw a dangerous low-level monster, Lu Xi would not have appeared here.

Lu Xi was silent, and then continued to ask seemingly unconcerned, "What if you meet a monster cub who doesn't have parents?" Want to kill them? ”

"I guess so." Ayina was at a loss for a moment, probably not thinking about this kind of question.

When he heard this, Lu Xi's heart suddenly cooled by half.

But soon, Ayina scratched her head again, "If you bring it back to the village to raise, you will have to pay a large amount of security deposit every year, our village should not have so much money, otherwise my father would have gone to the Prohei Forest to catch a few monster cubs and raise them back." ”

"But if you keep them to grow up, they will hurt people in the future, so you should kill them directly."

Lu Xi stared at Ayina several times, and only slowly exhaled a breath when Ayina nervously began to think about whether he had done something wrong.

Talking and panting, it scared her to death.

"Why do you have to pay a deposit?"

"Because low-level monsters are easy to get out of control, they may hurt people or something, and the patrol team will take the initiative to clean up the low-level monsters when they see them, even if they are raised by the village themselves, only by paying the deposit, the patrol team will not clean them up as a danger, and they can also take the monsters that have paid the deposit into the town of Viguli." Ayina replied as a matter of course.

Lu Xi accepted this answer, and at the same time felt a lot more relaxed, she still has a lot of jewelry and gold wires on her, all of which are valuable things, she can buy a safe place for Xiao Yuan, and she doesn't need to worry about others shouting and killing when they see Xiao Yuan.

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, the smile on Lu Xi's face became much more real, and he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "It's already noon, you should also go back to eat." ”

She is also going back to share the good news with Xiao Yuan.

"Is this a pocket watch?" Ayina was surprised, "It's so small, I only have a very large grandfather clock in my house that I can use to check the time." ”

As a former trainee knight, the village chief of Luli has a lot of items in his house that are difficult for civilians to obtain, such as clocks.

Lu Xi was in a good mood, took out his pocket watch and showed it to Ayina, "Yes, but I haven't adjusted it for a long time, I don't know if the time is still so accurate." ”

Ayina didn't take it, but after a few glances at it from a distance, she was satisfied, and at the same time noticed the photo on the inside of the pocket watch, "Is this Miss Lucy when she was a child?" Miss Lucy was also very beautiful when she was a child. ”

Lu Xi smiled and didn't speak, put away the pocket watch, Ayina suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Miss Lucy, why don't you come to my house for dinner at noon today, my sister also wants to meet you, it is my five-year-old sister, she heard that you are beautiful, and she has always wanted to see you." ”

Lu Xi blinked, Aina, Aina, a one-year-old unknown sister, and now a five-year-old sister...... The village chief of Luli is really good at giving birth, no wonder there are eleven people in the family.

Unable to resist Aina's invitation, Lu Xi finally agreed to go to his house for lunch, and Ayina excitedly told Asuna's aunt Lu Xi that he would not go back to eat at noon, and introduced his family members to Lu Xi when he returned.

In addition to her two younger sisters, Ayina also has a ten-year-old brother and five children in the family!

The five-year-old sister Lola is indeed as Ayina said, as soon as she saw Lu Xi, she began to praise her for her beauty, and she stuck to Lu Xi throughout the whole process.

At the same time, Lu Xi also met Mrs. Sally, the wife of the village chief of Luli, who is a very burly lady, although it is a bit rude to say this, but her body is really very strong, so strong that standing next to the village chief of Luli, it does not look abrupt, and the two of them are very compatible.

Mrs. Sally prepared a relatively sumptuous lunch for Lu Xi, of course, no matter how hearty it was, it couldn't be separated from the combination of Tonga and black bread.

After the meal, Lu Xi was playing with a few children, and when he heard that the village chief of Luli was gathering the villagers to go to the Prohei Forest to pick some edible fruits, wild vegetables and other things, he asked Ayina.

"There is going to be a bonfire party in the evening, and only monster meat is not enough to eat, and my father wants to go to the Problack Forest to get something else to eat." Ayina was in high spirits and planned to follow.

Thinking that Xiao Yuan likes to eat roasted mushrooms, Lu Xi was also moved, and wanted to pick a little back for Xiao Yuan to eat, so he found the village chief Lu Li.

Village Chief Lu Li thought for a while, there were dozens of villagers along the way, they would not go too deep into the forest, and their safety could be guaranteed, and Lu Xi had lived in the wild for a long time, so he would not drag others down too much, so he nodded.

Although he didn't dare to refuse the request of a noble lady, it was enough.

All afternoon, Lu Xi spent the whole afternoon in the forest, and picked a lot of mushrooms as he wished, and Ayina carried the basket for Lu Xi on the side.

"Miss Lucy, can you eat anything like this? Won't you get poisoned if you eat it? Ayina looked puzzled, someone in their village had eaten mushrooms, but they couldn't tell whether they were poisonous or not, so they picked them back and ate them together, and after the poisoning happened, no one dared to eat them.

"For example, this mushroom is not poisonous and can be eaten, I used to eat a lot of it when I was in the forest." Lu Xi shared the truth of those mushrooms with Ayina and the villagers next to him, gaining a lot of grateful eyes, and at the same time adding a little new ingredients to the bonfire party in the evening.

"However, if you haven't eaten it and can't be sure of the poisonous mushrooms, it's best not to blindly believe in these mushroom theories, or find other monsters to try the poison first." Lu Xi added.

Ayina nodded heavily, indicating that she remembered.

By the time the team returned to the village, it was already a little dark, and a huge bonfire had risen in the open space of the square, and the flames were burning, illuminating half of the village.
