Gold is Justice

"You're lucky, Mr. Mai."

Arrow put his hands on his hips, and said cheerfully: "Professional things need to be dealt with by professionals. I will help you deal with the slime problem."

"Really? Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Thank you, but I don't need it, but I need to prepare some professional props to drive away the slime. I wonder if you can provide them here?"

"Yes, yes! What do you want? I can provide it all!"

Airl said with a look of wanting to help: "I need a chicken, a live adult chicken. Either a rooster or a hen. Then, I need 1 silver coin as a reward."

"Want money?"

Mai Yi, who seemed very nervous just now, lifted her spirits all of a sudden, her eyes regained their composure, and began to look up and down at Ai Luo.

Since he doubted it, Airl immediately turned around and left: "Don't believe me? Then just pretend I didn't say it. By the way, although slimes are weak, they also have an extremely terrifying ability. They can't stab you with a sword. I can't die with a pitchfork, let alone hammered to death. If I leave it alone...then I'll wait until someone else is willing to pay a higher price. But at that time, I hope to see Mai Yi again Sir, don't lose an arm or a leg."

The continuous intimidation was really effective, Mai Yi hurriedly blocked Ai Luo's way, and said with a worried smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely give the chicken. But this price... 1 silver coin? The food expenses of our family of four are only a day. 8 or 9 iron coins!"

Airo spread his hands and said helplessly, "Mr. Mai, expelling monsters is a terrible job. You should also know that slimes can be life-threatening if they are not handled properly. 1 silver coin is really worth a lot of money." It's cheaper."

"That... that... is really expensive."

Mai Yi rubbed her hands together, stretched out a palm and said——

"How about 8 copper coins? This is already the maximum price I can offer."

Coincidentally, this is also the price in Arrow's mind.

"Mr. Mai, you really know how to bargain..."

Airl put on a very embarrassed expression, and after thinking for a while, he nodded "reluctantly".

At this moment, the farmer was very happy, and he immediately brought a chicken and 8 copper coins, but after thinking about it, he still only put 2 coins on the palm of Ai Luo, indicating that this is the deposit , and pay 6 more after the matter is completed.

This is fair, after all, it's the first time you're doing business, so you can't push too hard.

Arrow returned to Pelican Town with two coins in his pocket, made some preparations, and came back after buying some things. After receiving a big rooster from Mai Yi, he headed eastward confidently to the forest.

——1301年8月4日，任务定金：+2铜。结余：84金2银9铜——

Shine Forest.

This lush forest has such a beautiful name.

But in Airl's eyes, it was no different from other forests.There are also all kinds of plants piled up, and there is not even a place for people to step down.

Carrying the bag containing the chicken and other preparations, Airl stretched out his sackcloth-gloved hands to push away the sharp vine leaves, and walked carefully inside.

Speaking of which, it is considered lucky.

If the target of this mission is not slime, but some other monsters, such as those greedy and strong hook-toothed rats, Airl will also weigh his own weight, and turn back to see what the cat has. Method.

But for slime, he felt that he might still be able to handle it.

But there is also a problem.This forest doesn't look so barren. Even if I don't have any magic sense, I can tell with the naked eye that the plants here are not withered and withered.

That being the case, why did the slime leave the forest and go to a farm about five kilometers away to hunt for food?

Thinking of this question, Arrow couldn't help but tremble all over.Although there are very few cases of slimes causing death, this abnormal behavior is not recorded in the Natural History Book...

"When it comes to war, are even the books describing the living habits of monsters so perfunctory? It seems that I can try to record it myself in the future."

After this day's experience, the sky has become dark.And the deeper you go into the forest, the more frightening you feel like you can't see your fingers.

"It's almost here."

Airl looked around. Visibility was already very low.He nodded, ready to lay a trap here.

"……Um?"

Suddenly, a faint sweet smell floated inadvertently from the dark place ahead.

"smell good!"

Even smelling the sweet smell can make people feel refreshed, Airl squatted down, and moved forward carefully by the side trees.

"It smells so fragrant, is there any fruit here? If so, this chicken will be saved."

As he spoke, Airl moved forward slowly, unloading the sack at the same time, took out several potion bottles from it, and moved forward happily.

The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger!Apparently, the destination is about to be reached!Airl could almost imagine the scene of those slimes surrounded by a plant that didn't know what kind of fruit it produced, so that he could catch all of them!

...Wait a minute, this smell...is too fragrant, right?Just when Airl was about to walk into a dead end formed by trees, he suddenly became alert.

But it was precisely his footsteps that stopped, and a burst of manic footsteps instantly tore apart the tranquility behind him, and accompanied by the whistling sound of breaking wind, a huge gavel slammed towards him viciously!

"Drink--!!!"

The situation changed so quickly that Arrow quickly dodged to the side.There was only a click sound, and a tree next to him was smashed into a big hole by the mallet!

If you look closely, what appeared in front of you was a giant who was dressed in animal skin and was about two meters tall!

"Ogre?!"

Arrow could hardly believe his eyes!But the giant didn't pay attention to Airl, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the sack that Airl had dropped just now and shook it, the potion bottles inside fell and smashed to pieces, and all the liquid in it flowed out.

And this giant grabbed the chicken, nodded, turned around and walked deep into the forest without even looking at Airl.

Although overwhelmed at first, Arrow immediately calmed down as the giant left.He glanced at the shattered potion over there, and quickly followed with a stoop.

That's not an ogre. Although it looked scary, this huge man didn't reach the height of an ogre.If I read correctly, it should be just a tall human being.

The scent just now was obviously a bait, and this bait also made Airl think of some wonderful things, which made him decide to chase after it.

The surrounding sky was completely dark, and in the silent forest, only the earth-shaking footsteps of the giant man wandered back and forth.

Airl followed on tiptoe like a frightened cat. He was even a little surprised that although he was quite scared, he still had the guts to follow?That giant man's hand looked like it could crush his head with a single slap!

After thinking about it, Airl could only smile wryly.Probably because there are too many things on him, so he doesn't have the energy to think about whether he is afraid or not.

After walking about a kilometer, an artificially shaped open space appeared in front of them.

A few trees were uprooted and piled aside, the stones were surrounded by a bonfire, and some thick branches were stacked on top of each other, covered with a thin layer of leaves, forming a simple shelter.

Arrow the cat was behind a tree, stalking its head out to watch the giant.

Under the light of the fire, the simple civilian clothes made of many rags on the giant man were very conspicuous, but he stretched his hand into his arms very carefully, and held something cautiously Come out and place on a dry stone in front of the shelter.

"We are lucky today, hehe, there is chicken to eat, hehehe."

The giant man's smile is very simple and honest, which is completely different from the ferocity he faced with Airl just now.

Then, he stretched out his hand and wrung the neck of the poor rooster, and grabbed the hair and pulled it out one by one.After a while, a bloody rooster was pierced by a branch through its buttocks and chest cavity, and it was roasted on the campfire.

However, Airl's eyes were always focused on that stone.

There, sat a girl about the size of his palm. She had a pair of translucent wings, and the clothes on her body seemed to be made of fresh flowers, forming a strong contrast with the giant man.

This is precisely what surprised Airl the most!

Fairy of Flowers.

In the Natural Museum Illustrated Book, it can be regarded as taking up a whole chapter to introduce the content!If it weren't for the strong sweet smell just now and what I saw with my own eyes now, I'm afraid Airl would never believe that a flower fairy appeared in front of him? !

What's even more surprising is that this flower fairy and this giant man seem to have formed a partnership?She didn't have a forced expression, instead she shook her legs and looked expectantly at the roast chicken that was slowly cooking on the campfire.

Chapter 3 First Mission, First Warrior

"*&￥#@#@"

The flower fairy said something.

The giant man turned his head, looking confused: "Huh? Uh... don't you like roast chicken?"

The Flower Fairy turned her head and looked at the giant man. After a moment of stunned, she raised her hand, trying to repeat what she just said in a slow tone, while constantly gesticulating.But the giant man obviously couldn't understand what she meant, he rubbed the back of his head, looking a little confused.

After a while, the flower fairy also seemed a little helpless, she could only hold her hands in front of her chest, slowly flapped her wings and flew to the giant man's shoulder, sat on his shoulder as if sulking, and continued to look at the roast chicken.

Seeing that the flower fairy stopped talking, the giant man stopped talking, and continued to turn the branches.

But just as the chicken was slowly emitting bursts of fragrance, a voice suddenly came from the nearby forest——

"She wants you to pick some flowers and get some pollen and nectar for seasoning, so that the taste will be better."

The giant man was stunned, and saw a handsome boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a hat and ordinary merchant clothes, coming out from behind a tree.

After seeing this boy, the giant man suddenly became alert!His first reaction was to reach out his hand to protect the flower fairy on his shoulder, and with the other hand, he went to grab the gavel next to him, with a vigilant expression on his face.

But the boy didn't show any aggression, he just walked slowly to the campfire, sat down opposite the giant man and the flower fairy, with a big smile on his face: "The flower fairy is responsible for the forest that is not easy to see." Spread the sweetness in the middle, and you are responsible for capturing and bringing back the food lured by the sweetness. You don’t understand the language, it’s really fortunate that you can cultivate such a tacit understanding.”

Airl leaned over his head and glanced at the roasted chicken, seeing that the surface of the chicken skin was wrinkled and showing a little golden color, he nodded and smiled and said: "It's roasted well. But if you can bleed first and then remove the internal organs, the taste will be even better. (Fairy speaking) Actually, you can season this roast chicken with aroma, there is no need to pick flowers to season it.”

Hearing the language spoken by Airl, the giant man was also taken aback, he could hear that the language spoken by Airl seemed to be somewhat similar to that of his partner.And looking at the flower fairy, it also poked its face out from behind the giant man's palm, looking at Airl curiously and vigilantly.

"(Fairy language) Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The field of economics at Old Tengshu College is very broad, and I don’t know who proposed the concept. I think that if you want to know more about economics, you must sometimes deal with non-human creatures. thinking has become a compulsory course.

Although at that time Airl felt that it was useless for him to learn so many messy languages, but now, he began to rejoice that he chose this field of economics that was not valued by Lao Tengshu's other factions.

Airl stood up, bowed to the flower fairy with a gentleman's etiquette, and said with a smile: "(fairy language) Airo Garcia, here to serve you, respected Miss Flower Fairy. Can you tell me your name? Woolen cloth?"

The flower fairy was silent for a moment, she turned her head, looked at the giant man next to him who seemed very nervous and didn't know what to do, and said quickly: "(Fairy speaking) My name is Buffy! Can you tell me my name? My friend? Also, tell me, what's my friend's name?"

This first step really went well.

Ai Luo turned to the giant man with a smile, and said with a smile: "My name is Ai Luo Garcia, and I am a guild owner. This time, I am not targeting you two in this forest. Also, your friend said that her name is Buffy, This means vanilla in the language of the flower fairy, and I asked what your name is."

"Buffy? Buffy... Buffy!"

Knowing the name of his partner for the first time, this made Juhan's expression change from doubtful at the beginning to gradually calm down later, and then excited!He looked at Buffy excitedly, then pointed to his nose at Airl, and said loudly, "I! My name is Brad! Hehe, Buffy, Buffy! I know your name! Buffy !"

"(Elvish) Your partner's name is Brad, which means bread in Human language."

Arrow introduced her partner's name to Buffy, and the two immediately fell into ecstasy, calling each other's name constantly, excited like two children.

This scene made Airl feel a little funny.

Generally speaking, even if there is a complete language barrier, it shouldn't be difficult to introduce each other's names.Just point to your nose and say your name.

But this pair of partners didn't understand what their friend's name was until he helped translate it?

This slowness is a bit powerful.
