Chapter 22: A Man Named Myron

There was a long queue in front of the southern gates of Campas, all hunters returning from the Starry Night Forest, most of whom had won their prizes but had gained a lot, and a few had found nothing. A registrar is at the gates to verify the identities of the men and assess their prey, which will be the most powerful basis for their contributions.

After going around and around, it was finally So'ou's turn to team 33. Soou should also be from a certain team in front of them, but the mood of this team is obviously not high, and they all sulk in a low voice and don't say a word.

"Name. ”

"Cook. ”

"Belonging to the hunting team, position. ”

"Team 32, Team 32... Captain. The word "captain" was like a thousand pounds, and Cook spit it out with difficulty.

"Team loss. ”

"15 people ......"

"Poof, what?!15 people?32 team has a total of 57 people, and you will fold 15 people in this trip?" The registrar's voice raised an octave.

"Yes......" Cook's voice was a little low, it was clear that he and his team had a very painful experience today.

"Alas...... Forget it, let's go in first. This is just the beginning, I don't have much experience in all aspects, so pay more attention tomorrow after all, the entire 32nd District can be pointed to you to bring back the loot. The registrar comforted Cook and beckoned the next person to register.

"Name, position. ”

............

Finally, it was the turn of Team 33, and Myron walked up to the registrar with a cigarette butt in her mouth.

"Name. ”

"Myron. ”

"Hunting team, position. ”

"Team 33, team 33 captain. Cook's voice didn't fluctuate.

"Team loss. ”

"37 people. ”

"What?

"A total of 61 people from the 33 teams returned to the team24, and the fate of the remaining 37 people is unknown. ”

"How can it be !!," the registrar stood up and pointed at the bridge of Myron's nose and yelled, "The other hunting teams have lost the most from the 32nd team just now, but your losses are more than twice as much as theirs, how did you become the captain?"

"Can I go in?" Myron's tone still didn't change meaning.

"Bastard, what kind of attitude do you have, that's 37 lives, it's gone if you say no, don't you need to explain something?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't explain it, you just need to do your registration. Myron pushed the registrar away and stepped straight through the south gate.

"You ......" the registrar was about to get angry, but was stopped by several members of Team 33.

"Sir, don't be angry, that's why we met the Demon Cow Herd...... Captain him, he's also sad, it's just that he doesn't want to show it in front of everyone. ”

"Is that so?" Hearing the word "Demon Cow Herd", the registrar's tone suddenly weakened: "However, I advise you that Team 33 quickly change a captain, otherwise under his leadership, your team will be finished sooner or later." ”

......

Once in the city, Sawo returned to his "home", so to call it, the house was better than the one in Degen, but it didn't have that reassuring feeling.

"Stinky boy, you're finally back......" Andrew, who had been worried for a day, naturally couldn't help but nag when he saw Solo coming back, Solo listened silently, and it was rare that he didn't talk back, and when Andrew said he was tired, he said "good night" and went back to the room and fell asleep.

The next day, Solo got up from the bed and was already on the rise, and the voice of the city lord came from the loudspeaker earlier, because the loss of the hunting team yesterday was too great, so it was decided to let the hunting teams stay in the city today to reorganize it, and the armor and weapons that began to be made a few days ago will also be distributed to the hunting teams today, and the safety of going out to hunt will be greatly enhanced.

"Daddy, you're awake. The little girl was lying on the side of the bed with her chin in her hands, and her big flickering eyes kept staring at Tho, so she found out the first moment Solo opened her eyes.

"Hee-hee, Dad, wait, Lan Lan has a surprise for Dad. The little girl smiled mysteriously and ran out of the room.

After a while, she staggered in with a large iron plate, and So'o, fearing that he would fall, hurriedly took the plate from her hand.

"Lan Lan, is this what you call a surprise? What is this lump of colorful things?"

"Well, let me tell you, there are the bones that Mr. Starling likes to eat, the dried fish that Miss Fourth likes to eat, and the Yoyo grass that a cow in the big village next door likes to eat...... By the way, there is Lan Lan's favorite meat steak inside, which is the food I asked Miko to help others store, last night Dad, you fell asleep directly, and the steak promised Lan Lan was not made, but Lan Lan knew that Dad was very tired yesterday, so he got up very early today to ask everyone what they like to eat, and then gathered all the things that everyone likes to eat and made breakfast for Dad, Dad, you must finish eating. ”

Soo touched Lan Lan's little head: "Lan Lan is really getting more and more sensible, but it's really better to forget about breakfast or something (if you eat it, you'll die." ”

"It can't be counted, Lan Lan has spent a lot of effort to make it, Dad, you must eat it all. The little girl obviously didn't want to let her morning's work be wasted.

"Well, I think it's right, since this thing is a collection of things that everyone loves to eat, it must be very delicious, right, let's give this plate to grandpa first, okay, grandpa is older, so he needs our love more, right? ”

"But ......"

"No, grandpa really needs this 'delicious' breakfast made by Lan Lan. ”

"That'...... Okay, but Lan Lan will ask more people next time, and next time she will definitely make something better than this one for her father to eat. The little girl shook her fist in front of Tho to show her determination.

Saw: "......"

-- Dividing line --

Outside the door, the bright sunlight dispelled the gloom in Soou's heart, and he was already optimistic that the bright weather was enough for him to stop deliberately bothering about those who had died.

"Wow~, the weather is really good today, I just don't have to go out hunting today, go to Lanlan, let's take a good look around the city today, starting with our No. 33 district." With the green-haired little Lori on his head, Soo began their exploration of Area 33.

The entire 33rd area is not small, but when it comes to what is worth exploring, it is nothing more than tents built everywhere.

Due to the large influx of victims, the original houses in the entire 33rd District are definitely not enough, so half of the victims are still living in makeshift tents.

Large and small canvas tents are set up around the house at will, and the change of the environment may have the least impact on the childish children, three or five barefoot little ones chasing and playing in the tents, and there are always one or two out of breath old people behind them who keep scolding, of course, this will only further fuel the interest of the little ones.

"Lan Lan, do you want to play with those children. ”

"No, Lan Lan just wants to be with her father. ”

Solo smiled, pinched the little girl's little face, and continued to look at everything around her. At this time, a person in front of him caught his attention. The man knelt on one knee in front of a tent with his head half-bowed, his brown canvas cowboy hat with a large hole in it, and the green stubble seemed to be freshly popped out.

"You go, the death of my man's family has nothing to do with you. A woman's voice came from inside the tent, her voice was flat, and she couldn't hear anger or anything like that.

Myron remained on one knee, and after a long time, perhaps a little solace in her guilt, Myron got up and shuffled slowly towards another tent not far away, her thick upper regularly stepping on the gravel floor.

In the same position, Myron repeated the same thing as before, kneeling in front of the tent with his head bowed and not saying a word. A red-eyed middle-aged woman came out of the tent and saw Myron rushing up to beat and scold, apparently the widow of a certain victim yesterday.

Myron beat and scolded without the slightest anger, and the woman stopped caring about Myron when she was tired of beating and scolding, and walked into the tent with a sad face. Top after top, heavy footsteps echoed over Area 33......

-- Dividing line --

"Pluto, you're going to join the hunting party too?" Solo looked at Pluto, who was several heads taller than him, and asked with some surprise.

"That...... To be precise, I want to follow the big brother, and you join the hunting team by the way. Pluto buried his head and pinched his fingers together, looking a little twisted.

"Aren't you supposed to be building equipment with Uncle Tom with your father? Why are you going to the hunting party with me? And you're only 12 years old, so your father is relieved that you're coming to the hunting party?"

"Actually~~ Actually, Pluto's ideal is to become a powerful warrior, yesterday when I was helping Master Tom with chores, I heard him say that big brother, you once defeated a red dragon and saved Master Tom's life, so Pluto wants to follow the big brother to go on an adventure, if Pluto can defeat a real dragon one day, then my father will definitely be proud of me. Pluto's childish face showed unprecedented firmness.

"Are you sure you've got it in your mind?"

My father said that a true man is not afraid of the eyes of the world and dares to face a powerful enemy. Pluto wanted to be a real man. ”

"Well, since you've decided, go for it. ”

"Big brother, did you agree?"

"I can't think of any reason to stop you, and besides, when I was your age, I used to venture into the Starry Night Forest, and it proved to work well. But I have a small request for you, can you not call me 'big brother' in the future?" Solo remembered that Pluto, who was like a hill, kept calling him "big brother", and felt a chill in his heart.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Whatever, just don't shout 'big brother'!!"

"I listen to the stories told by the bards who pass by the village, and the people in charge of them are called 'boss,' or I'll call you 'boss.'" ”

"It's okay, it's much better than 'Big Brother'. ”

"Hey!!" Lan Lan, who couldn't interject all the time, shouted loudly and interrupted the two, "Hey, big man, you can't rob Lan Lan of your father, your father is Lan Lan's, don't even think about it, do you hear it." Lan Lan showed her little tiger teeth, and she had the posture of "if you don't agree, I will bite you to death".

"No, I didn't ......," Pluto shook his head desperately and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Saw: "......"

PS: I want to be a storyteller.
