"Why do you smell of blood?"

Feeling that he was already using the long knife more easily, Roth, who was going to start taking the commission, had just arrived at the guild today when he was greeted by a person.

Roth didn't know the person in front of him, not because he was addicted to knife practice and lacked communication with others, but because the current Oscar City guild was really full of fresh faces.

Both the veterans and the powerful factions had already advanced far north with the frontline camp, about half a distance from the royal dominions, and the ones who appeared in Oscar City now were the latecomer, low-level adventurers.

Speaking of grades, Roth and Lista's situation is actually more embarrassing, Roth needless to say, he only went out on a mission as no brand, and the result was still a big disaster, and the strength rating and credit rating are pending;

Therefore, the two of them had the leisure to rest for more than half a month, that is, when they were waiting for the front line to be launched, and Oscar City was only left with low-level commissions, and Lista was also to avoid acquaintances so as not to be embarrassed.

Although he has been idle for so long, thanks to Lista sharing his adventures, Roth's story to Joel never breaks down.

Forget about the explosive ending of the black history, today is the first step for Roth to embark on a new adventure!

And in order to welcome him, the first sentence that the world gave him is shown above.

Roth looked at the boy who leaned over with an undignified snout, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lista said strangely behind Roth, "You haven't been injured in the past two days, have you?" Or did I accidentally beat you out yesterday?"

"You think beautifully, if you don't use internal strength and vindictiveness, I'm just a slight advantage now!" Roth defended his reputation.

Lista secretly smiled bitterly, from not being easy to having a slight advantage, this Roth took more than half a month, or in the case of almost self-study, although he always said that the truth is the same, but it is just a theory, in fact, how can it be so fast?

A girl with an embarrassed face pulled the teenager away from Roth, bowed her head and apologized to Roth: "I'm really sorry sir, he's always ...... like this"

The boy was unhappy: "What is always like this, I say that I am a pervert who comes to others to smell when he has nothing to do!"

"So you're self-aware of what you've just done!" the girl screamed.

After Roth got rid of the dilemma of being sniffed, he finally had a chance to observe this strange man.

Although this teenager behaves strangely, it is quite reasonable to just look at the equipment, and he should be the kind of person who spends his limited budget on the blade.

In addition to the long sword, a wooden mallet with simple treatment is hung from the waist as a spare weapon, and the handle of the sword and mallet is tied to a rope sleeve, so as long as it is put on the wrist, even if the weapon is taken off due to the impact during the battle, it will not be knocked away, and it can be quickly pulled back.

The head is a leather helmet, and the breastplate is also leather armor, but only the lower half of the body is wearing iron armor - the combat targets of low-level commissions are basically low-level filthy beasts, among which the filthy beasts based on the beasts, such as tigers, will aim at the throat, but after all, the threat of beasts is very low;

The girl is relatively shabby, with a staff nearly a man-long in her right hand, and there is no matching on the staff, which is a low-level commodity that only relies on the material of the staff itself as a spell casting medium, so it has to be made so long, and there is a spare weapon hanging from her waist, which is a, uh, a mace?

The girl's body is only a gray robe, looking at the faint magic glimmer at the corner of the clothes, it should also have some magic effect, but it is obvious that there is no defense, she should have handed over all the responsibility of protecting herself to the young man, which shows the trust between each other...... What does a mace mean in that case?

The girl's gaze wandered nervously between Rot's long knife and Lista's twin swords, and the two weapons represented something that worried the girl to the point of stomach pain.

"You haven't answered why you smell blood. The boy's words made the girl scream like a small animal, but if the boy didn't want to be dragged away, the girl couldn't pull him.

Lista stepped forward and smiled, "What's the matter, little brother, is it so strange that adventurers smell of blood?"

"That's the smell of human blood!" the young man didn't back down, "There is only a stench on the filthy beast, and the smell of the blood of a newborn beast or a demonic beast is completely different from human blood!

The attention of everyone in the guild was gradually attracted by the quarrel here, but since everyone was basically low-level adventurers, they would basically subconsciously distance themselves the moment they saw Lista, and in the end, the people of the guild came to solve the siege.

"Hey, hey, don't make any noise! Oh, it's Mr. Roth and Mr. Lista, I'm sorry to be rude. It's great that you're finally resting, and we've been looking forward to the day when you'll be active again. Here's ...... Emerald Stone level adventurers Zhang Luan and Nina, right? Oh, I don't know what kind of misunderstanding the two of them had?"

Rot, who was originally thinking about something, glanced at the young man at this time, and saw that he was either from Wicken or from Xiluo, and ended up with a name of the Qin Han people? Well, maybe he was adopted.

Zhang Luan still insisted: "My nose is very smart, and he definitely smells of human blood!"

Lista looked at the guild's reception and said, "This kid ......"

The reception hurriedly forcibly pulled Zhang Luan away, but this time he didn't dare to resist casually, and the girl Nina didn't care about apologizing, so she quickly followed and walked away.

Lista couldn't help but sniff Roth as well, and said strangely: "This obviously doesn't smell anything, what's the matter with that young man...... Anyway, I just found out that you have almost no body odor, and you're quite suitable for knocking on the stuffy stick. ”

"Put away all your fan-social thinking from the unbranded period!" Roth said, "That teenager...... Maybe he was mistaken, but his judgment itself was fine. ”

Lista narrowed his eyes when he heard this, nodded and said: "Also, a ridiculously low-level adventurer with good weapons has a smell of blood on his body, and it is indeed quite dangerous if such a person is a bad guy who specializes in picking on low-level adventurers." If there is no evidence here, it will normally make the guild more vigilant, and if there happens to be any recent crimes, and the two of us don't have an alibi, maybe we will enter the surveillance process. However, we have been living in the hotel under the command of the association for most of the month, and there are traces of every move, and he is just messing around here. ”

Thinking of this, Lista was a little uncomfortable and said: "Let's get rid of the identity of low-level adventurers as soon as possible, I always feel that kid has to fight with the two of us." ”

Roth nodded, but he was thinking about something else.

In a previous hallucination, he was indeed thrown with blood by an unrecognizable person......

It's just that after the hallucination, there is no blood on his body, and it has been almost a month, even if he was really poured blood at that time, it should have no taste now.

What did that Zhang Luan smell?

Roth had a bit of a headache, and after experiencing the illusion of that village, he somehow began to think about things related to the Men in Gray, though he didn't want to......

Clueless, he put this question behind for the time being: "You said that the guild here will prepare a suitable commission for us, right?"

"It's for me, to be exact, but it depends on the situation, after all, there may not be a suitable commission," Lista said. I'm not worthy of the guild to arrange it for me, I can only see if there is a suitable one to test me, and if there is, keep it for me, if not, then I will have to do some low-level tasks first. ”

Roth thinks this is just right, otherwise his adventure story would not be suitable for Joel, after all, Joel seems to have a bit of a psychological shadow about being arranged by others, and from his several replies it seems that there are some problems with his teammates recently, but he refuses to say it explicitly.

Roth has the heart to help him solve his worries, but after all, Joel is not comparable to his master in terms of strength and status, and he has nothing to do, so he can only hope to reduce his pressure by communicating with him more.

"Wait a minute, are you serious?" Lista's voice drew Roth's attention back, "You let us go on a mission with them?"

One of the hostesses of the guild kept her business open and said with a smile: "We local guilds have no right to interfere with the personal relationship between adventurers, but harmony and win-win are always everyone's wishes, and we hope that through this short cooperation, the unhappiness between the four of you can be resolved." ”

Lista said dissatisfiedly: "Are you sure that kid named Zhang Luan won't take advantage of the trouble of my family boss?

"That's why. "If we can successfully complete the task under these circumstances, we think it can be counted as a test of confidence for Mr. Lista." With Mr. Lista's strength rating, as long as the credit rating is no longer negative, you can immediately get the Kyanite Adventurer's name tag, and then you can receive an intermediate task, which is also very helpful for Mr. Roth's upgrade. ”

Roth was surprised: "Lista, your credit is still negative?"

"Please, don't ask......" Lista coughed.

"Yes, even if you don't look at his past performance, his most recent credit history was to take the opportunity to molest the woman who initiated the private commission, and he has not made up for it, and he would never have been able to turn a regular without Mr. Roth's guarantee. The hostess suddenly lifted the short mercilessly.

Roth felt as if he could see a hint of anger in her perfect smile.

"You've done that?" Roth looked at Lista with some disdain.

Lista hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, boss, I'm the one, being a little too enthusiastic has led to some misunderstandings......

"Obviously all counted in the credit history?"

Lista: "It seems like she's serious, but that's it, it's the point, just like when we trained......"

Roth couldn't stand it anymore: "You are using this analogy to disgust me." ”

"Oh, if I do too much, can this woman still have this attitude towards me?" Lista slapped the table, "She can still laugh, that means it's not a big deal, it's really ......"

The female receptionist burst her muscles while keeping smiling, which inexplicably made people feel a little powerful.

"Mr. Roth, I'm sure you're aware that he's the kind of guy who's a pity to give up completely, but who never gets clean. Now that he is on the guarantee of Mr. Roth, for the sake of your own credit rating, I hope you can pay more attention to him. ”

Roth also ignored Lista's argument and agreed, "I know, I'll watch him for my own sake." Can you show me the information on this commission?"

The receptionist's smile was finally a little more sincere, and she handed a piece of paper to Roth and said, "If there is anything you can't understand, please don't hesitate to ask me." Now the various commissions in the north of Oscar City are relatively special, and some of the information our guild has just obtained from the association's intelligence department. ”

Roth carefully read the introduction on the paper.

The first line of large characters is the name of the commission, which is generally in the format of "where to go" and "what to do", which should be as concise as possible and have a certain introductory effect.

【Defeat the Dryads at Camp 3 in the Greenstone Forest】

"Where is this greenstone forest?"

The hostess also held a notebook in her hand: "It's a new forest in the north." In the past, the process of expelling filth was slow, gradually purifying the land through population migration, and taking over and domesticating creatures who had been fortunate enough to be resurrected by the grace of the true God. But this time, due to the unexplained explosion, large swathes of land were suddenly liberated from the grip of filth, and many relics of the past were resurrected in a disorderly manner. It is sad that some of them have not only failed to help the Kingdom, but have become obstacles. The Greenstone Forest used to be a barrier to protect the Elven Kingdom, and the entire forest could be seen as a giant life with a holistic consciousness. Now this consciousness has undergone another destruction and rebirth and has been suddenly liberated, and it has fallen into complete chaos and madness, and we have no choice but to consider it our enemy. ”

Lista also gave up the quibble and returned to the commission: "What about this dryad? Could it be that this time our enemy is no longer a filthy beast?"

"Yes. The hostess couldn't help but sigh and said, "They are reborn under the grace of the true God, and they belong to the creatures of this world. However, in a situation where they have fallen into a madness, we have to clear them before we can move on. ”

"Didn't you say that half of the royal family had already come out of the front?" asked Lista.

The female receptionist flipped through the small book in her hand, nodded and said: "With the efforts of the elven royal family, it seems that a way has been found to temporarily stop the attack of part of the greenstone forest, in order to explore the current situation of the former elf kingdom, the vanguard has indeed broken through the greenstone forest, but it seems that it has encountered a new problem." But of course, our goal is not just to break through this forest, but to regain it completely, so the large forces are actually still on the periphery and slowly advancing. ”

Lista was very happy when he noticed that the low-level commission that he thought would be boring had become interesting: "Dryad...... I heard a person brag about it before that he went deep into the polluted area and encountered a filthy beast that looked like a tree, but I didn't expect to hit the real thing now?"

Roth had already read a lot at this time, Camp 3 was not far from Oscar City, and the reason why he stayed there was that he found that there were still filthy forces left underground, and if he didn't clean it up in time, he might re-pollute the whole land.

But the common problem in the camp now is that while clearing the stubborn filth, it will also be attacked by the resurrected greenstone forest, and it has fallen into a frenzied consciousness and cannot communicate, and wantonly attacks all living beings.

The trickiest part is that once the power of the Greenstone Forest and the power of the Filth are present at the same time, the people of the camp will have to protect the mad Dryads, otherwise even if only one of the Polluted Crazy Dryads escapes, a new small polluted area may appear.

The vanguard rushed so fast, in case the rear road was counterattacked by the filthy forces, it would be a lone army, considering that the elven royal family was involved, it really couldn't afford to lose.

Therefore, the current low-level commissions are basically for those tree spirits, as long as the low-level adventurers can keep these tree people from causing trouble, the army and high-level adventurers can concentrate on dealing with the filthy forces lurking underground.

Roth was happy, he wanted to know that everything he was doing was meaningful, and the commission met his needs.

"Okay, we've got this commission!"

——

On the opposite side of the Greenstone Forest, the vanguard faced the second line of defense of the former Elven Kingdom, the Forest of Archers.

It's a pity that there are no sharpshooters in the forest now, and only the out-of-control forest golems are left to fight against the remnants of filthy power.

The strange explosion had only happened above the surface after all, and while for some reason the filth underneath seemed to have been drained away and weakened, that didn't mean it would make it easier for them to deal with.

The Greenstone Forest has been completely resurrected, at least on the surface, but the Archer Forest has not been so lucky, only half a month has passed, and a small part of the forest has become a polluted area again, and this is still when there are no other sources of pollution other than underground residues around.

"It's not as rosy as it seems. Li Guangfu, the commander of the Central Guard Corps, who had been urgently transferred, looked at the reports of his subordinates and said worriedly, "Now that our forces are somewhat insufficient, in the case of our Central Guard Corps being transferred to the north, in case there is a filthy counterattack in the other three directions, they will have to rely on themselves." ”

"Then general, do you mean to give up the land that has been so hard to get rid of the filth?" asked a one-eyed elven swordsman coldly.
