Chapter 34 (1/2)
The townspeople parted sides and let the fast horse pass quickly. The rider on the horse was very flustered and hurried. Before and after reaching the gate of the mermaid song guild, he didn't even have time to stop his horse, so he rolled down from the horse in a hurry.
”Be careful!”
Brad was quick and immediately stepped forward to catch the man who fell off his horse. Coco waved a dead tree branch, and the skeleton soldiers quickly came forward and grabbed the reins of the runaway horse to stop the panting old horse.
Arrow frowned, walked forward and said, ”Dr. Cora? What's so nervous? Your old horse usually takes you to the next town for a clinic. The daily baby is dying. Why are you so nervous today? ”
The man named Cora is about sixty years old and belongs to the doctor of Pelican town. Although it's a doctor, judging from Arrow's experience in big cities, it should be a barefoot doctor at most. Pelican town may be able to cope with a small cold, a small injury or something, but for a more serious disease, the doctor's only way is to carry the patient into his carriage and quickly transport it to the nearest city to find a professional doctor.
Dr. Cora was out of breath. His face was livid. With the help of Brad, he finally came to ello and said, ”monster... Monster! The monster is out! Shine in the forest, monster! What a big, terrible thing! ”
As soon as they heard of the monster, the villagers who were going to disperse around surrounded again. Everyone's face was both afraid and excited to listen to gossip.
But it's really inconvenient for so many people. Arrow thought and asked Brad to help Dr. Cora into the guild and sit down in the rest area. Cocoa brought a glass of water and put it in front of him.
”Take a breath and say it well. What's going on?”
With this glass of water, Cora's expression finally eased a lot. He let his breath as gentle as possible and finally said——
”Monster! I... I saw the monster! ”
”I'm going to the shining forest to collect herbs today! You should know, too? The shining forest is rich in herbs. I will collect some and dry them in the sun, and then transport them to big cities to sell them sometime to make money. ”
”But today... This afternoon! Just when I think the harvest is almost the same and want to come back! But... I suddenly saw... So big! Such a big lump of sludge! That sludge is like living! Crawl slowly in the forest! ”
”I was so scared that I didn't dare to move! Then, I saw this earth like thing with my own eyes and suddenly wrapped a passing rabbit! ”
”That rabbit... Rabbit! He kept struggling in the monster's stomach, but it was like drowning. He couldn't escape any struggle! ”
”I watched with my own eyes... I watched the rabbit melt in the mud belly, the transparent belly, first hair, then skin, then meat, then internal organs and bones! There's really nothing left. It's really terrible... It's terrible! ”
At this point, he suddenly got up and wanted to grasp arrow's hand. Arrow instinctively shrank back and continued to have a gentle and polite smile on his face. The doctor didn't grasp arrow's hand, so he could only turn his head and grasp Brad's huge and rough palm next to him. He said excitedly, ”the monster saw it. I have a hunch that he must have seen me! If I didn't react and run away quickly, he must have eaten with me! ”
”You're the adventurers guild, aren't you? It's for these monsters, isn't it?! Can you... Can you kill that monster? Will the monster come to my house at night! My home is in the east of the town. As soon as that thing enters the village, it will meet my house. I'm afraid. I'm really afraid! ”
Judging from Cora's words, it should be king shrem. No matter how bad it is, it should also be some slym guards under King slym.
It's just that arrow didn't expect that in less than two months, these shrems have changed from eating wheat to eating living creatures directly. It seems that their number is really beginning to expand.
After confirming the mission objectives, think about your team lineup——
One warrior and one mage. Barely counting Buffy who can only smell, plus he is a non combat personnel, at most two combatants plus an ornament and his own brain.
So the answer is obvious. King shrem is far from a problem that their guild can solve.
”I see. If there are demons and commissions, we have business. Mr. Cora, let's talk about compensation. According to the difficulty of adventurers in our guild (referring to the task level description on the wall), this task should be above copper level. In other words, at least one gold coin starts. ”
”A gold coin?!”
Sure enough, when it comes to money, what terrible monsters are immediately forgotten.
