These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

After leaving the entrance of the cave, Du Wei spoke harsh words unwillingly.

"Tsk, anyway, I already know the entrance to this cave, and I'll kill them next time!"

Xiao Jin sneered.

"The goblins would have already changed their lairs by then."

"I know this, but I just feel very unwilling."

Goblins are creatures with little guts. Once they find a powerful enemy nearby, they will immediately move their nests. When they come back next time, those goblins will probably leave long ago.

"It's all my fault, if only I hadn't taken out those thorn seeds."

Karina, who was walking behind Du Wei, lowered her head and seemed to blame herself very much.

Du Wei withdrew his unwillingness and comforted Karina.

"It's not Karina's fault, it's just that we didn't grasp the timing well in our first adventure. After this experience, we won't do it again next time."

Those thorn seeds actually helped a lot, otherwise Du Wei would have felt a little flustered when facing such a large group of goblins at once.

Emily also chimed in.

"That's right, and we don't count as a failure of the mission. The deadline for the mission is half a month, as long as the mission is completed within this period."

Because there was no need to fight, Emily took off the helmet on the return journey, and she could finally hear the speech clearly.

When the group returned to the main road, the two miniature horses still parked obediently by the side of the road to graze.

After riding the horse, Du Wei stretched out his hand to Karina.

"Come on, I agreed to drive you back on the way back."

Karina finally had a smile on her face when she thought of the previous transfer agreement.

However, it was a little different from when carrying Xiao Jin, Karina was sitting sideways in front of him.

To be honest, this troubled Du Wei a bit, because now Karina is a little taller than him, so his vision will be blocked.

Xiao Jin, whose personality was extremely different from Karina's, pouted.

"Do you think you are a princess?"

"Hmph, take care of me."

"Okay, don't quarrel on the way back."

Being able to quarrel means that you have regained your spirits.

They first went back to Hongmu Village to say hello to the villagers and Ruby and the others.

"Phew, it's a good thing you're fine."

Ruby was visibly relieved to see them back safe and sound.

Du Wei waved his fist and boasted.

"It's an exaggeration. It's just a few goblins. I can kill them casually."

Xiao Jin rolled his eyes.

"You really have the face to say that Emily is the one who exerts the most power."

Damn Xiao Jin, why does he have to tear him down every time?

At this moment, Du Wei thought, "By the way, we might as well tell Joel to send someone to clean up the remaining goblins."

Although they have already dealt with many goblins, the boss is still alive, and the cave is not far from Hongmu Village, so it might cause damage to the place, so they just asked Joel to send a patrol team or even the army to finish it off. .

But Ruby was embarrassed when she heard it.

"What's the matter? Isn't it convenient?"

Could it be that the patrol team can't beat the goblins?Even kids like them can beat it!

Xiao Jin waved his hands unbearably.

"Don't embarrass her."

"Difficult?"

Du Wei didn't understand what was so embarrassing.

"Cleaning up monsters is the job of adventurers, and it is inconvenient for an army with official colors to participate in it."

"Uh, but isn't the military just for defending the country?"

"You're right, that's why the army shouldn't care about such things, because the enemy of the soldiers is a hostile country, not a monster. Unless the monster is strong enough to shake the foundation of the territory, it is generally left to the adventurer to deal with it. .”

"But my family knights will also hunt monsters during winter hunting."

"Because it's winter hunting, it can only be regarded as a ceremony. Have you seen them being assigned to clean up monsters?"

Du Wei thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he really didn't have any. At most, he went to kill some wild boars and came back to add vegetables.

Xiao Jin continued to explain.

"Once the army is sent to deal with monsters, relatively speaking, the income of local adventurers will shrink, and the less income will lead to a sharp drop in the number of adventurers. Who will the monster be handed over to?"

As it turns out, armies will have to go to war by then, and monsters that aren't cleaned up regularly will multiply and turn into another threat.

"Moreover, the battle between the army and the monsters will also cause casualties. It is difficult to guarantee that the hostile country will not take advantage of this. Therefore, it is an unwritten consensus among all countries that monsters will give priority to adventurers for disposal."

Du Wei looked at her with admiration.

"Little Jin, you really know a lot."

He, the son of a lord, hadn't considered this kind of thing at all. It turned out that the army and adventurers had become their own ecology.

"Hmph, of course."

The corners of Xiao Jin's mouth raised slightly when he heard the praise.

"In that case, let's go home."

This world has its own rules and regulations in operation, and he has no intention of forcibly changing or destroying this balance.

After saying goodbye to Ruby and the others, they headed home.

"It's said that we have fought so many goblins, but there are no treasures."

Not even a decent one.

Xiao Jin glanced at Du Wei and seemed to think he was talking nonsense.

"Do you think there are treasures on them?"

In the earlier battle, being able to equip a wooden stick would be regarded as a good goblin. Some poor people even used branches and stones as weapons.

"Why is this weak monster not extinct?"

Du Wei was very confused. Can such a weak guy survive in the wild?

Xiaojin sneered.

"Weak? You are just fighting ordinary goblins. If you encounter mutants like bear goblins, you won't think they are weak, and..."

"and?"

"Furthermore, female goblins are very fertile. They can give birth to at least five babies in one pregnancy, and the pregnancy cycle is only three months. It is not easy to exterminate them."

Du Wei seems to have heard of this kind of reproduction method before. It seems that most of the weaker creatures will produce a large number of offspring at a time, because there will always be a few lucky ones who can grow up safely and ensure that the continuation of the race will not be interrupted. Lose.

While they were chatting, Karina suddenly pointed to the front not far away.

"Look, there's someone up ahead."

Du Wei looked forward and there was indeed an adult walking slowly on the road. Although it was not surprising that there were people on the road, the strange thing was that he was alone.

Wasn't he afraid of encountering robbers or monsters?

They simply rode their horses and leaned over to find out.

Looking closer, the other party's old face showed that he was already old, and the old cloth on his body covered his thin and shriveled bamboo body, as if he hadn't eaten properly for several days.

However, the old man's eyes are very sharp and energetic, which is not something ordinary people can have.

Du Wei was a little curious about the origin of the old man, could it be an outsider like an old man?

He immediately leaned forward to care.

"Old man, why are you here alone?"

The old man stopped after hearing his greeting, but he didn't speak, but nodded towards them kindly.

When he got closer, he realized that the old man hadn't brought any luggage. The only thing he had on him was the shabby cloth he was wearing, and he didn't wear any shoes on his feet.

This appearance made Du Wei more and more sure that the identity of the old man was not simple.

At this time Xiaojin asked with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that you are a monk doing asceticism?"

After a pause, the old man nodded slightly.

"Monk!"

This is the first time Du Wei has seen the profession of monk in this world.

044 Ascetic

When it comes to ascetic monks, the impression given is fighting skills!They can be said to be the martial arts masters of other worlds.

But to say that the old man in front of him is too thin, let alone fighting the enemy with a body like a bamboo pole, maybe even Karina can knock him down.

Du Wei asked the old man after looking him up and down.

"Is it really a monk?"

The old man just smiled at his question without saying a word.

Xiao Jin gave him a blank look.

"Don't judge others by appearance."

Since Xiao Jin, the most knowledgeable among them, said so, it should be true.

"Is the old man going to Farvin City?"

The old man nodded.

"Then let's go together! By the way, let me share some food with you. It's all given to me by other people. I can't finish it by myself."

When they were about to leave the city, those vendors stuffed Du Wei with a bunch of snacks, and they couldn't finish them all with only four of them.

The old man didn't refuse, but he just took a piece of cake.

"Is this enough? There are still many things."

Du Wei pointed to the bag full of food and signaled him that you are welcome.

But the old man just shook his head, and then took a small khaki round ball from his arms and handed it to him.

Du Wei stared curiously at the round bead in his hand.

"Is this some panacea?"

Karina took the beads from his hand and inspected them before saying.

"This is an earth magic spar."

As an alchemist apprentice, she had handled at least hundreds of magic spar, so she quickly discovered that it was an earth-type magic spar.

Du Wei suddenly realized.

"It turned out to be a magic spar."

In fact, it wasn't the first time he saw the magic spar, but he didn't think of it for a while.

It seems that the old man intends to exchange food with him with magic spar, but magic spar is much more expensive than these foods, how can this be embarrassing?

"Old man, do you want to get some more?"

The old man didn't respond. He saw that Du Wei had accepted the magic spar and started walking again.

"Hey, wait for us."
