Chapter 340: Ordered in the face of danger
Game time PM14:35
Anka Market, Adventurer’s Guild 1st Floor Hall
“In other words, you did not cause any accidents Completed the task under the circumstances?”
Chris Clotide yawned lazily, playing with his nails absentmindedly while glancing sideways at the four people standing opposite the counter: “It didn’t cause any problems. There were no personnel troubles, no accidents, no explosions, and even the store filled with dangerous goods was intact, right?”
Mo Tan, who had just completed the mission report, nodded: "Yes, that's right."
Ya Ya and Jadeka, who were standing on both sides of him, did not speak. The former was twitching his little nose at the moment. Sniffing left and right curiously, the latter raised his chest and raised his chin, stroking his big white beard every few seconds, filled with a strange sense of pride from the inside out.
Not to mention Yaya’s daily cuteness, Mr. Jadeka’s behavior at this moment is absolutely understandable. Excluding the nonsense task of ‘picking up stones from the ruins of Underhill’, this is still For the first time, yes, the first time, he successfully completed the mission without causing any casualties.
[I always feel a little pitiful...]
Standing next to Yaya, Ji Xiaoge glanced at the old mage secretly, and couldn't help but think of the first time he made a Shang Neng entrance ( Ji Xiaodao)'s joy when cooking, secretly let out a sigh of empathy.
"Tch, I was expecting you to teach those two brothers a lesson, like blowing up half the store or something, but nothing unexpected happened. It was all in vain." Miss Chris muttered something in a low voice, and then Reluctantly, he opened the booklet at hand, signed one of the footnotes with a colorful quill, and then printed it on the ink surface. Previous post: "Sign. In fact, before you guys came over, the little mage had secretly come to us to give an explanation. I just checked it again."
Pretending not to hear the little sister whispering BB just now. Mo Tan nodded slightly, picked up the quill and signed his name on the section of task 14213 that had been marked as 'completed'.
[Your team has completed the E-level adventurer mission: No. 14213, gained 100 optional experience points, and the reputation of the Adventurer Guild +20]
The next second, the system prompts at two rang in the player's ears.
"Okay, now that I have completed my personal review, I will temporarily exclude you from the blacklist on the Internet, but..."
Chris took the pamphlet that Mo Tan handed back, his blue eyes flashing with warning and threats: "If there is any trouble again, I promise that I will tear up your adventurer's manual with my own hands and force you again." Get it back at a hundred times the price! Then do it again! Do it again! Do you understand? "(Wow) I understand..."
Under Chris's momentum, even Ji Xiaoge, a new adventurer with no bad record, couldn't help but reply with the other three companions.
Chris glanced at her with a smile, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about you, sister. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. The main reason is that the lethality of these three scourges is really strong. Hey! Watch your wand, old man!”
“Oh.”
Jadeka quickly put an ice pack on the staff in his hand that started to emit black smoke again at some point, and then continued to hang his head like a good old man.
Ya Ya, who had been severely scolded by Chris several times some time ago, also lowered his ears and looked pitifully at the former and let out two flattering sobs.
"Well, Sister Chris, I can understand Yaya and Jadeka."
Ji Xiaoge, who knew the virtues of those two people well, stuck out his tongue, and then raised his head He raised his little finger and pointed at Mo Tan, who was also dejected, and asked in a low voice: "Mo shouldn't be the kind of person who would cause trouble, right?"
Chris whistled at the beautiful girl in front of him who he had a crush on. Whistle: "My dear, maybe you are right, but 'not causing trouble' does not mean that he is safe. In my opinion, this half-dragon guy has a particularly troublesome trait. More of a headache than the other two.”
Ji Xiaoge tilted his head in confusion: "Eh?"
Ya Ya's ears trembled: "Woof?"
Hearing this, Jadeka also turned his head and looked at it. Mo Tan: "So what qualities do you have?"
"Uh, I don't know either..."
Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, looked at Chris in confusion with his companions, and said very politely: "If you are willing to tell me , I will definitely try my best to correct it.”
Ji Xiaoge smacked her lips. She really couldn't figure out what bad qualities Mo Tan had in such a good person.
【Is it some kind of unknown dark side? For example, have you ever peeked under someone's skirt before? Well, it shouldn't be. He didn't react much when I didn't wear the headgear before. Is it just because of system limitations...]
The girl started to have random thoughts.
But her idea is obviously wrong...
"It can't be changed." Chris shook his head and said seriously: "At least I personally think that your kind will continue to The traits that attract troublesome people cannot be changed.”
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
"Think about it, you were entangled with this girl when you first came to the city." Chris took out a big stick from someone who didn't know where. The bone was stuffed into Yaya's mouth, while gently scratching the girl's animal ears. He said leisurely: "It turns out that she is a little freak who is extremely lacking in common sense, can't even speak common language, and will tear down the house at the slightest provocation."
Mo Tan: "... ”
Yaya gnawed on the bone intently.
"Then there is this old guy who likes to blow himself up." Chris pointed at Jadeka again, shrugged to Mo Tan: "He is already famous in our area, to be honest , whether it is a junior adventurer or a low-level mage, this It is difficult for both of them to become famous in Anka Market, where there are many good players. However, this old man succeeded in doing it. Although there was a very special process of cheating women, he still did it, and you are the only one who knows this guy. Someone who dares to team up with him even if he knows the details.”
Mo Tan: "..."
Jadeka turned his face to the side and started whistling.
"Finally, after these two guys left you and acted alone..."
Chris sighed and looked at Mo Tan resentfully: "A dragon attacked you that night while you were helping. The farm is being rebuilt. I heard that there was a strong man of unknown race with you at that time, and then the two of you were captured by the dragon. You know what the uncle farmer found when he woke up the next day! How miserable were you when you found yourself in a messy farm? Are you the reincarnation of a evil star?"
Mo Tan said speechlessly: "..."
>
Ji Xiaoge kindly whispered to the side: "Maybe it's just a coincidence? Miss, don't you think I'm quite normal?"
At this moment, Mo Tan suddenly found himself even more speechless. !
"Well, although you are indeed quite normal." Chris waved his hand absentmindedly and snorted: "But people in our industry believe this. After all, many things are really unspeakable. Logic, for example, I know a ranger nicknamed the Shipwreck Emperor. Although he is very skilled, as long as it is a ship he has been on, no matter it is in the river, sea, or sky, whether it is a merchant ship, a cruise ship, an airship, ten ships. Jiuchen, do you know? "
Ji Xiaoge nodded in understanding, and then thought of the android Cordoba whom Mo Tan knew and the one who could turn into a slime. , Lujiang, who was both male and female, suddenly found that he seemed to understand something.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Miss Chris stretched out, then picked up the work magic crystal board here and quickly scratched it a few times, and waved to Mo Tan: "Then as agreed in advance, you can now be normal. Received the mission, come and take the mission number 54250."
"Huh?" Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "If we can receive the mission normally, we can find it ourselves. Just take the task that you think is suitable, right?”
The young lady scratched her hair in distress: “Ah~ Although in principle this is correct, but...” I just finished chewing the big bone. Yaya blinked: "Wang?"
"But I think this task is very suitable for you~~~"
Chris tapped his white chin with his index finger, blinked at everyone three times per second and said, "Okay?"
Mo Tan's head was full of black lines: "Well, please go first Please explain the situation..."
"Okay." Chris put away his pitiful expression and spoke quickly. Said: "Two hours ago, three trainee alchemists went to the north to collect thick-shell mushrooms, and they were attacked by the harpy near Maruga Forest Road."
Mo Tan frowned: "The harpy Banshee?”
The young lady nodded vigorously: “Yes, harpies, there are many nests of them around here”
"But why did they attack those trainee alchemists?" Jadeka tugged at a strand of beard in confusion and asked in confusion: "I remember that the harpies should be a relatively gentle race. They Will you attack others for no reason?"
Chris laughed dryly: "You can't say it is for no reason..."
Mo Tan and others looked at her in confusion.
"To put it simply, they are those unruly birdmen... Well, I'm sorry, sister Yege, I'm not talking about you."
The young lady mocked Ji for lying down for no reason. Xiaoge apologized, then shrugged and said: "Those harpies took a fancy to one of the handsome young men and wanted to catch him for mating."
【What to pay! ? 】
Including the well-informed Jadeka, several people were shocked.
"Ahem, it's not like this doesn't happen, but it's really rare." Chris rubbed his forehead sadly and sighed: "The two girls escaped unscathed. , I didn’t even reply to the Alchemist Association, so I came here directly to issue a mission to save people. As a result, I was not there at the time, and the person in charge was a newbie who didn’t have a good brain..."
Mo Tan seemed to have a premonition. Some kind of deceitful development was unfolding, but he couldn't help but ask: "Then what?"
Then something happened. Chris said with great trepidation that the young man who had just joined the job a few days ago took this An emergency search and rescue mission that was obviously available to multiple parties was marked as an independent mission that could only be claimed by one person or a team, and then was inexplicably assigned to a very bad guy.
"I seriously doubt the ability of that scourge, but now no one else can take on that task. No one is willing to work in vain. If we make temporary changes here, it will not be fair to the recipient of the task. In addition, this time The victim probably won’t die. At most, he’ll just be beaten to something, and then something, something, something, something, something, something, something else, so...”
Chris looked at Mo Tan and the others pitifully, and then asked in an even more pitiful tone. Said: "Can you let me quietly add the guy who received the mission to your list?" In our adventurer team, do you want to help me before things get worse?"
Jadeka coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Isn't this not in line with the rules? ”
Chris replied in a lower voice Said: "If you don't tell, I won't tell, no one will know... Because it's about performance, so please! If you get it done, can you count it as completing a D-level mission?"
Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and Jadeka communicated silently with their eyes.
The reason why Yaya was not included was because the girl was already lying on the counter and snoring softly...
A moment later
"Okay, we agreed."
After receiving the answer from his companion's eyes (and the message), Mo Tan smiled, then nodded to Chris: "Just do as you said."
"Thank you!"< br>
The latter was so moved that he grabbed Mo Tan's hand and shook it, and then quickly performed the secret operation while whispering: "Although you guys are not very reliable, at least you are much better than that guy. So please do everything, please do everything!”
Mo Tan/Jadeka/Ji Xiaoge: "..."
...
Half an hour later, game time PM15:14
Mo Tan and his party left He walked to the Maruga Forest Road and set foot on the path leading to the Harpy Tribe.
However, although it is called a 'trail', there is actually no 'road' here. It is just that the plants are slightly sparse. After all, harpies do not use their legs to walk most of the time, and there are not many people there. I like to visit this dense forest with nothing to do.
"Wang, this way!"
Ya Ya, who was walking at the front as a scout, paused, then turned his head and waved vigorously at the three of them: "Wang discovered something was wrong with Wang. "Wang's place!"
The people walking behind rushed over and saw a large area of very obvious scorch marks and two large footprints where Ya Ya was standing, and the surrounding plants were also wilting. Yes, it can indeed be said to be very abnormal.
"Are they signs of resistance or fighting..."
Mo Tan murmured in a low voice, and then heard a sharp scream from not far away!
“Help!!!”
Everyone was shocked.
Ji Xiaoge suddenly stood up and said anxiously: "Is it the alchemist who was captured or the guy who came here to save people just now? Could it be that they were given by those harpies..."
Pah!
A tall woman with brown wings, eagle claws below her calves, and two long feathers dotted on her forehead suddenly landed in front of the four of them.
Mo Tan and others: "..."
The creature that looked like a harpy raised its head with difficulty, and murmured with a pale face: "Save... ...Help."
"Hey! What's going on?"
"I...I don't feel good..."
"Hey! Wake up, hey!!"
