Chapter 86 The Adventurer’s Guild and the Murderous Fujisu Dumplings


Chapter 86 The Adventurer’s Guild and the Murderous Fujisu Dumpling

The night fell deep, and the wilderness echoed with the howling cold wind.

Wearing animal skin armor, Sora crossed his arms and carried a big sword on his back. He stood on the newly built sentry tower on the outside of Morning Frost Ridge, watching the vast cold night.

The torches hanging in the guard tower reflected the scaly faces of the Argonians, and she could feel the timid and fearful glances from the two night watchmen behind her from time to time.

The night watchman is responsible for night patrols, fire monitoring, and enemy warning. In winter, when monsters may attack at any time, the task becomes even more arduous.

To this end, Yeats established a shift system, requiring the extraordinary people in the territory to take turns to keep vigil until the day when the snow melts.

Sora heard from his comrades that the nights in the north were even colder than here.

The wind and snow scraped against me like razor blades, and the sound of wild hunting horse hooves echoed like ghosts in the snowy night. The night watch knights of Bei County, who monitor the movements of the Kingdom of Beasts on the edge of the Dragon Snow Mountain, will polish their swords on the city walls made of solid ice with bonfires.

In comparison, the situation in Chenshuang Ridge is much better.

"Sir, look, what is that?" The night watchman pointed to the wilderness, his voice frightened.

In the thick black night, a black-red flame galloped across the wilderness. Sora looked intently with the eagle eye technique, and saw the nightmare horse's fiery red mane fluttering, and its four hooves stepping on ghostly black-red will-o'-wisps. In an instant, Submerged into the end of the dark wilderness.

That was the nightmare horse that Lord Yeats ordered to be kept outside the territory. It has always been very docile.

Why do you suddenly become restless in the middle of the night?

Sora frowned.

It’s dawn.

Sola quickly came to the Lord's Mansion, knocked on the door, and told Yeats, who was sitting at his desk in the office, about the strange phenomenon he saw last night.

"The Nightmare Horse escaped?" Yeats pondered, "Did you see clearly which direction it fled to?"

"Southwest." Sola said.

Yeats nodded and asked Sola to summon Gray and Hilde.

Not long after, Gray opened the door with a bang, and the wind and snow poured in, lifting the tapestry on the wall. There were some snowflakes on her shoulder armor and hair. She closed the door with her backhand, exhaled and said:

"The Pearl River outside the town has frozen, and we can't eat mussels for a long time."

The Pearl River produces eels, freshwater mussels and salmon. Beavers and otters can also be seen in the river. Animals such as these are a major source of food in Chenshuang Ridge.

Yeats picked up the hot tea beside the table and took a sip, and said slowly: "There is already a shortage of food in winter. Fortunately, in the past few months, I have asked Blueberry and Reggie Leif to stock up on food, plus purchasing The wheat here is enough to survive the winter. "

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Herod walked in, holding an eagle helmet in his hand, wearing a plate armor connected to a red cloak, and said. :

“I heard Sora say, it’s best to leave as soon as possible.”

Yeats nodded, stood up, and said:

"Grey, let's go to the swamp in the southwest."

Yeats suspected that the nightmare horse escaped for no reason and was affected by the undead. The call of the knight.

It’s best if you can use them for your own use. If not, you must eliminate the undead knights to avoid leaving hidden dangers.

"Also, carry your cooking tools." Yeats ordered.

Hearing this, Gray's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Yeats smiled slightly and said: "There are also many rare ingredients in the swamp."

Gray He said in his heart, it must be a rare monster, right?

White Night City, Oak Tavern.

The fire burned brightly in the fireplace, the musicians played tambourines, and the drunkards made a loud noise.

Beside a table in the corner, a man from the Isu tribe had a pair of erect wolf ears and gentle amber eyes. He was wearing a mage's robe and stretched out his hand to spread the reward list on the table.

"The reward target is the roots of the murderous vine. I have already investigated it. The peat swamp outside Baiye City contains the murderous vine we are looking for."

On the other side, Fox Ear The Isu woman was tall, carrying a long bow on her back and a short sword on her waist. She looked at him lovingly:

"Selin, you are still so reliable. I love you even more today."

Selin looked back affectionately: "I love you too, Irene."

The halfling's head couldn't reach the table. Wearing oil-stained work clothes, he raised his head and stared at Ai with a speechless expression. Lin and Celine are paired as a couple.

What a disgusting couple!

Fern Axlwheel lowered his head and wiped the gleaming crossbow in his hand, thinking:

“I really want to use the recorder I invented to record their words until they break up. Then play it repeatedly in their ears!”

As a short halfling, Finn Shacklewheel is a master of inventions and a master craftsman of machines and parts.

Finn originally lived in the valley with his companions. In order to raise funds for inventions, he left his hometown and entered human society and became an adventurer.

Adventurers have their own independent guild. According to legend, the founder is Robin Hood, a sanctuary ranger.

Robin Hood is the son of a farmer, but he has mastered the art of archery.

It is said that during the battle between Emperor Lorraine and the Elf King, he shot down the Elf King's flag with one arrow. He later refused Lorraine's reward and retired to the mountains. He is also regarded as the ancestor of adventurers.

Although the Adventurer's Guild and the Mage's Guild are both called guilds, compared to the threshold for becoming a guild mage, the Adventurer's Guild has no threshold at all.

The adventurer’s goal is also very simple. Honor, virtue, responsibility, these are the ethics of knights.

All the adventurers want are gold coins, treasures and women.

Since the mercenary group will also accept commissions to hunt monsters when they are not participating in the war, there is a great overlap in the composition of mercenaries and adventurers.

Of course, the quality of adventurers varies.

From a street vagrant who is not engaged in production to a leader of a mercenary group with superb swordsmanship, everyone can call themselves an adventurer.

Finn felt that the team he formed with Irene and Selin had considerable combat power. After all, the three of them were all first-level extraordinary beings. They were a group of people who abandoned their farm work and worked with pitchforks and hoes. The adventurous farmers cannot compare.

Finn glanced at Irene and Selin, who were still talking to each other, and said speechlessly:

"It will be dark if we don't set off, and I don't want to stay outside the city on a winter night. , will be captured by the Wild Hunt!”

Erin took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "The Wild Hunt is all a lie to children. Only an innocent and kind-hearted halfling like you would believe the lies of the Wild Hunt!"

Selin smiled slightly. , said:

"Even if we encounter a ghost, with the strength of the three of us, we can easily defeat it!"

*

"Help!!"


Deep in the swamp, screams startled birds.

Zheng!

Hilud cut the murderous vine that sprang out of the soil into two pieces with one sword. He glanced at the source of the sound and muttered:

"Yeats, it seems there is a human voice."< br>
Yeats squatted down and used the knife woven from shadow to cut the material on the murderous vine, and said:

"The swamp is full of dangers, so we can't rush into it rashly. That group of people moved on without clearing away the murderous vines in this area. They should be inexperienced adventurers. I think the danger is more serious than that."

Grey He lowered his head and looked at the still twitching murderous vines, sweat dripping down his forehead.

“I just saw that the killer vine swallowed a crocodile... Is it really okay to eat the killer vine?”

The killer vine is a carnivorous plant that entangles itself. It strangles creatures and secretes digestive juices on the vines, swallowing a prey in an instant.

“Crush the root of the killer vine into a paste, mix it with water to make a dough, and wrap it with vegetarian meat fillings made from its branches to make the killer vine dumplings.”

Yeats said with a smile: "Some elves who are vegetarians because of their faith even cultivate killer vines because they taste like meat!"

Gray looked shocked.

Does eating this really not violate your faith? !

"Okay, take out the cooking tools." Yeats was about to light a fire to cook.

Grey said oh, put down the big bag he was carrying, dug out pots, kettles, and spatulas, and was suddenly stunned.

Why don't I seem to object to eating World of Warcraft?

Gray looked strange.

Osmanthus dumplings seem to have become quite a normal dish!

At this time, Herod drew out his sharp sword and said: "Yeats, those people are running this way."

Yeats followed the chaotic footsteps and saw The three adventurers fled for their lives in embarrassment, followed by a stumbling pumpkin demon holding a sickle.

"Pumpkin is going to kill someone!" Gray said in shock.

Yeats’s eyes lit up, there was another vegetarian dish!

The pumpkin demon exudes the powerful aura of a second-ringed monster. The hollow eye sockets of the pumpkin are burning with deep green fire. It opens the cracks in its mouth and roars, and the sickle swings out an illusion of fear!

The illusion turned into four or five wronged souls, and they were about to catch up with the three adventurers from behind. The fox-eared Yisu woman pushed the wolf-eared man away, turned her back to the wronged souls, and stood in front of her teammates, saying with tears:

"Selin, I will love you again in the next life."

"Eileen, no!!" Selin stretched out his hand and yelled.

"I don't care about you two, I'll run away first!" the halfling yelled and ran for his life.

Zheng!

Xilud fell gracefully, sheathed her sword, and turned her back to the three adventurers who were stunned.

A cold light flashed.

All the grievances are gone.

A crack appeared on the neck of the pumpkin demon, and then with a thud, the scarecrow-like body fell, turning into mist and slowly dissipating, and the huge pumpkin head fell to the ground!

The three adventurers opened their mouths wide, with strong shock on their faces.

"Are you okay?" Yeats said subconsciously.

The halfling looked back and recognized Yeats's family crest, his eyes were shocked, and then he said with great respect:

"Go back, Lord Baron, we are fine!"

Yeats glanced at the pumpkin and breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's fine."
