Chapter 20 (1/2)
Cream pinched his chin again and walked back and forth for several times. It seemed that he was really confirming that there was no pit in it.
Seriously, in terms of persuasion, cream is too cautious than cocoa. If this guy is not so annoying, he may be a good adventurer.
After a long hesitation, the guy finally nodded and said, ”it sounds like there's no pit. Well, we have a deal. ”
Arrow breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the guy thought for too long, which made him a little nervous: ”now we are dirty and can't write a contract. Come back to the guild with us later. I'll write it for you. ”
”Hehe, contract? Come on, I don't believe in contracts or anything. Keep those pieces of paper for your own teaching. ”
Cream rubbed his hands and pointed to arrow: ”for your sake of persuading me, I believe you once. In the future, as long as the amount is right when I come to get the money. Don't you want to know my secret? I'll tell you now. Not much, just three. I summarize them into three laws of retreat. Once any law takes effect, the adventure must end immediately. If you want me to help you take risks together, you must also abide by my three rules. ”
”First, once you encounter an unseen Warcraft and your life is in danger during the battle, you must retreat immediately.”
Arrow thought for a moment and nodded: ”I see. Since you can meet a Warcraft you haven't seen once, you will meet a second time. Since life is in danger for the first time, it is natural that we should not risk the second time. ”
Cream smiled: ”smart, just a little. Second, once you feel that you are not prepared enough in battle, you must withdraw immediately. ”
Arrow clapped his hand: ”today is the second situation. Our guild is obviously not well prepared. It has become a short board of combat effectiveness. ”
Cream: ”third, when you encounter an event, a problem or a decision, if you can only get through it by taking risks, you must retreat.”
Hearing the third point, Brad in the back couldn't help it: ”you're talking nonsense! We are adventurers. When we encounter difficulties that we can't get through without taking risks, we have to retreat immediately? I don't think you understand anything! ”
Compared with Brad's unhappiness, arrow lit his head and thought for a while. Soon, he had a feeling of sudden openness and nodded heavily: ”I see. Adventurers never take risks. Of the three laws, this one is the most valuable experience. ”
Cream smiled, waved and said, ”these are the three withdrawal experiences I summarized. I don't care whether you agree or not. Anyway, I've told you. If there's no problem, you should prepare more for me next time I come to get the money. I'm very careful and will count iron coins one by one! Ha ha! ”
With that, the guy took his backpack and turned around and walked happily. It seems that he doesn't intend to act with arrow and his party at all.
Since the entrustment was completed, ello also took his guild members to clean up in the camp, picked up pots and pans, carried the tent and stuffed it into his backpack.
”Brother president, what is this?”
Cocoa, who was packing, asked curiously when he saw that arrow was carrying a big sack.
Arrow smiled and said, ”I'll tell you when I get back. Don't worry.”
Cocoa said ”Oh” and continued to clean up.
They left the mine before the sun went down, went down the mountain and left the Changmian mountains.
The speed of the return trip is much faster than that of the previous trip. Around seven o'clock, a group of people arrived outside the town. However, in order to prevent the smell from attracting the attention of the villagers and damaging the reputation of the mermaid song guild, ello decided to wait a little longer. Until eleven o'clock in the evening, after the whole town almost fell asleep, ELO quietly entered the town and slipped to the gate of the guild.
”We're back!”
Carrying a lot of things in large bags and small bags, ello didn't have time to open the door with the key, so he had to kick the door.
After a while, the gate opened.
”Oh! Let's come back -- ”
Touch -!
The door slammed shut again, and Napa's almost hoarse voice came from inside——
”Good - smelly - ah -! Did you go swimming in the cesspit? ”
Arrow knew it was his fault, and now he could only knock on the door with a bitter smile: ”open the door! Napa, vice president, we don't want this. It will be like this after the task is completed. Let's go in and take a bath. Don't hang us out. ”
The door opened again, and Napa's small claws covered her nose, and her whole face was full of disgust.
”What's the matter with you?! Why is it so smelly! I can accept a lady to go out and do her own business, but is it a job for a lady to come back like this? ”
Arrow was a little nervous. Cocoa didn't know anything, but he was trembling with fear. She hid behind arrow quietly, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Coco's expression, Napa knew she had said the wrong thing. He shook his head, let the people in and closed the door.
”Let's take a bath...”
”Don't, let you take a bath like this, then the whole guild won't open.”
Napa continued to cover her nose and turned around the crowd. Then she shook her body and sent out magic again.
”Purification.”
