Chapter 8: The Little Adventurer
There was a great commotion in the tavern near the city gate, and a young boy in his early teens stood at the tavern door in a daze, as if waiting for something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only when someone came out of the tavern, he ran over and kept begging: "Are you going out of the city to adventure, take me, I am willing to do anything, I have strength, I am not afraid of any hardship, I am very obedient, please take me." ”
Obviously, the little boy's plea was pointless, and no team of adventurers would take a stranger, let alone a strange child.
If you are rough, you will naturally kick him away and say something like "Where did you come from, wild boy, get out!"
And the kind-hearted ones will stop and say a few words: "You are still too young, when you grow up and have strength, there will be an adventure group to accept you." "Little brother, go home, this is not the place for you. Something like that.
But whether it was driving or persuading, the little boy still stood stubbornly at the door of the tavern, unwilling to leave, and numbly repeated his request.
Finally, the tavern owner couldn't stand it anymore: "That's what you're going to do with this kid, which adventurous team would take you with such a drag bottle? Hurry up and give me home, don't get in the way of my business!"
"I'm going to be an adventurer, I'm going to make money, I'm not leaving!" the boy insisted.
"Make money, make money, do you think it's so easy to be an adventurer? Do you know how many adventurers die outside every year? This is not something that a child of your age can do, hurry home." The tavernkeeper gave the boy a push.
"I'm not afraid of danger, I want to make money, I want to save my mother!" the little boy insisted.
"Forget it, I'm afraid of you, oh, give you money, okay, go, go, go. The boss took out a few copper plates from his pocket, handed them over, and put them in the little boy's hand.
"Oh, our boss is very kind today. The mercenary sitting at the window laughed.
The tavern owner turned his head and smiled, looking a little embarrassed: "Hey, what are you thinking about with a child, just pass it away." ”
Looking back, the boy did not leave, he clutched the money tightly, and burst into tears: "I want more money, I want twenty gold crowns, the doctor said that this way can save my mother, I want to go on an adventure, I want to make money." ”
The tavern keeper laughed angrily: "Twenty gold crowns? Why don't you go and grab it? Do you know how many adventurers in it can earn a year?
He pushed the little boy again: "Your mother is sick, and we sympathize with it, but this is not a place for you to find a job and make money." I suggest you go to church and pray and pray, maybe Lord Martial God will have mercy and your mother's illness will be cured. Let's go, let's go, ah, don't force me to be strong. ”
"Wait!" With the voice, a few people came out of the tavern, and a strong man with a scar on his face pushed away the tavern owner and said to the boy: "Boy, I can take you on an adventure, as long as you are obedient and willing to work hard, I will let you earn this twenty gold kronor, how about it?"
"Okay! I will be obedient! I will work hard!" the little boy immediately agreed.
"Hank, what do you want to do? He's a kid, you're going too far. The tavernkeeper looked disgusted.
"Hehe, I'm not a good guy, but I've never lied, and if this kid can really help us complete the task, how about sharing him with twenty gold crowns. The scarred man said loudly.
"You, you don't want to do that task, it's, it's too dangerous!" the tavernkeeper opened his mouth wide.
"He wants to make money to save his mother, I'll give him a chance! What about the danger? Tell me, where is he going to earn the twenty gold crowns in his current state?" asked the strong man with the scar.
"But, you, you can't ......," the tavernkeeper hesitated.
"Don't worry, of course we won't deliberately kill him, well, so be it, if we complete the task and this kid dies again, I will still hand over the twenty gold crowns to his family, and I will never owe it! The strong man with the scar said loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Righteousness, Boss Hank is righteousness!"
"It's an opportunity, it's better than now. ”
"What if I survive?"
"Whether you live or die, there are twenty gold, so what's the hesitation. ”
"Alas, then the task will be completed, and it will be empty if it is not completed. ”
"Hank, you can't do it, are you sure?"
......
Everyone in the tavern peeked out of the window, and everyone was gossiping, lest the world be chaotic and discuss.
"I, I'll go with you! I'm not afraid of anything!" the little boy stared at the strong man with Scar, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"Okay, have courage! We're pretty much ready anyway, so let's go now. The scarred man commanded his men.
He had two men, a tall, thin man with a bow and leather armor, and a good-looking woman also wearing leather armor with a few short knives pinned to her waist.
Hank, the scarred man himself, was wearing half-length iron armor, carrying a large knife on his back and carrying a large bag in his hand.
Seeing them set off, the little boy hurriedly followed them and followed them out of the city.
After leaving the city, they did not keep walking the main road, but turned halfway into the forest.
"Linda, have you inquired clearly, and are the werewolves really gone?" asked the strong man with Scar, turning to the woman behind him.
"It's all gone, don't worry, I personally heard the news of the city defense army, they sent scouts to search, they must have left, it is said that the wolf herders have gone to the north, attacked the port, and are ready to go to sea." The woman assured.
"It's good to go, it's good to go, if we do get touched, we're done. Tell me, what kind of medicine did they take, they didn't stay in the deep mountains and old forests, they all came to our Denmark, and we were locked down for so long that we almost starved to death. The scarred man complained.
The tall and thin archer pulled the little boy who had fallen behind, and then said: "Those barbarians, where can you understand what they think, but if you do this ticket well, you can still earn it back." ”
"Boy, don't be left behind, there's still a long road down there. The scarred man glanced back at the little boy.
"I'm not tired, I won't be left behind!" the little boy insisted through gritted teeth.
"Oh, by the way, boy, what's your name. The strong man with the scar asked.
"My name is Tommy, Tommy Pinkerman. The little boy introduced.
"Oh, there's no one else in your family, why are you out making money?" asked the strong man with Scar.
"The last time I fought, my father was killed. The little boy's tone was a little low.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, when you are working, you have to be bolder, don't be afraid, be more flexible, move faster, you can still complete the task and survive, don't worry, I will definitely give you this twenty gold crowns!" Scar assured again.
