Gold is Justice

Although the Natural History Illustrated says that slimes don't take the initiative to attack people, it also says that they will eat anything they can.

If he falls down at this time... Airl really can't imagine himself turning into a pile of bones.No, maybe not even the bones will remain.

According to the predetermined plan, these slimes will retreat slightly when they touch the saline-alkali soil, circle around and then enter through the gap in the north.

At first, there were only a few slimes, but as time went by, the camp that I thought was quite spacious began to be filled with more than [-] slimes, big and small!

These monsters that had no thinking ability and acted purely on instinct wandered in the open space, wriggling around the chicken skeleton exuding a strong fragrance.

After waiting a little longer, seeing that no more slimes had arrived, Arrow gestured to Brad over there.

"Hey!"

As soon as Brad let go, he sprinkled the last bag of salt soil on the northern gap.So far, all slimes have been trapped in this trap!

"(Fairy language) Alright! You're done!"

Buffy cried out happily, and this voice immediately attracted the attention of those slimes.Airl looked at the flower fairy and sighed secretly.

Fortunately, the slime, who had almost no thinking ability, stopped when it came to the edge of the salt soil, lingered a few times, and then dispersed again.

Also at this time, Airl tiptoed down the tree, took out the kerosene that had been prepared earlier, wrapped the branches, and lit the fire.He circled the edge of the camp, carefully lighting fires on the inside branches of the salt mud.

The slimes moved slightly toward the center after touching the flames, but they didn't appear anxious yet.

Seeing that the situation could still be controlled, Airl took a breath and quickly turned the torch around the salt soil.Seeing, the flames formed a fire circle and began to burn slowly towards the middle along the firewood that had been laid in the camp long ago.

"It's done!"

When you're done, Airl throws the torch in his hand into the fire, claps his hands, and finally heaves a sigh of relief.

Brad and Buffy over there also got off the tree, and they looked at the slimes that were gradually being forced to move towards the center by the flames, all of them looked surprised.

"(Fairy language) It's the first time I've seen someone use this method to deal with slimes... This kind of monster is more difficult to deal with than it looks on the surface."

Airl folded his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "Although slimes are not afraid of swords and sticks, they are afraid of fire, cold, and salt. Attacking the weak points of monsters is the benchmark."

Say it, say it with confidence.

As for the fact that this knowledge is obtained from the library of the college, it is better not to mention it first.

The flames gathered towards the middle, and the slimes were distorted by the flames and gradually shriveled.I believe that as long as it burns for a while, it will be done.

"It's over, Brad, help me pick up—"

call out!

The sound of a liquid jet burst out of the flames suddenly!Immediately afterwards, a group of shadows broke through the flames, and rushed toward the nearest Airl without hesitation!

"careful!"

Brad instinctively raised the big mallet in his hand and swung it down, almost hitting the shadow on the ground just before it was about to fall on Airl's face.Airl also came to his senses at this moment, he quickly took two steps back, and saw that under the big hammer, a slime that was obviously a circle larger than ordinary slimes was crushed under the hammer.

"Are you all right?" Brad looked at Arrow cheerfully.

"Let go! Let go quickly!"

Arrow yelled, and Brad turned around, only to see that his wooden mallet had started to corrode!And the slime's tentacles had already reached Brad's hand along the mallet.

"Wow! This thing, this thing can't be killed?!"

Brad let go of his hands in a panic and retreated, but this slime seemed to be aware of it, and the outstretched tentacles popped out, firmly sticking to the back of Brad's hand.

Almost immediately, the back of Brad's hand began to swell.

"It hurts! It hurts! I feel pain!"

The feeling from the back of his hand made Brad instinctively use the other hand to pat, and Arrow immediately shouted: "Don't touch it with your hands! (Fairy language) Buffy! Smell Brad!"

The flower elf was already panicked when she saw the slime pounce on Brad's hand, but it didn't have time to think about it after hearing Airl's command, and immediately flapped its wings and released a strong fragrance.

The scent relieved Brad's pain a little, that is, within a few seconds, Arrow rushed to the camp over there, picked up the salt soil on the ground, and pressed it on the place where Brad was touched by the slime. on the back of the hand.

Sisi——

Thanks to Airl's preparation of salt water potion, he was well prepared.As soon as it touched the salt soil, the slime immediately left the back of Brad's hand as if it was being burned.But the monster that fell to the ground turned to Airl, stretched out a few tentacles and began to crawl towards him quickly.

Airl had seen Brad's painful expression just now, he suppressed his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and stood motionless in front of the slime.Seeing that its prey was not moving, the slime bent its tentacles and shot towards Airl's face!

"(Fairy language) President!"

"President—!"

While Brad and Buffy exclaimed, Airl pulled out the sack he had previously contained the big cock and the salt water potion, and put the slime in it.Without hesitation, he changed hands and threw it into the burning fire over there.

Bear--!

Lie Yan (raging flames) lowered slightly, then rose again.

But this time, Airl waited for a long time with a handful of salt soil in his hand, and finally no slime was able to escape.

Chapter 4 Life is more than one road

As the sky gradually lit up, the flames in the camp also slowly extinguished.

Airl glanced at the ashes inside, he was completely relieved, and turned to Brad, who was covering his hands.

"Let me see the back of your hand."

Brad nodded, offering the back of his hand.

I don't know whether it's because the guy has too much hair on the back of his hand or the slime's strength is still a little weak after all. Apart from some redness and swelling on the back of his hand, there is no wound.

"Huh... After you get back, apply cold water to it. (Fairy speaks) Buffy, do you know the magic of healing?"

Buffy blushed slightly and shook her head.But after shaking her head, she looked at Brad, her eyes full of worry and shame, and said: "(Fairy language) Don't tell him that I am not very proficient in natural magic."

Arrow nodded, looked at Brad with a smiling face again, stretched out his hand and patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Okay! Now none of us have been injured, it's already good. I also want to thank you You saved me just now. Come, let's see our results."

Reassuring Brad, Arrow turned and walked into the salt earth, examining the ashes in the rising sunlight.

Well, as expected.

Turning over the ashes, you can see one after another slime skin that has lost its vitality and shriveled like a piece of paper.

Airl picked up the shriveled slimes, inspected them, and rolled them up.But looking at Brad behind him, it seemed that he still didn't dare to look through it, so he didn't force himself, and picked it up on his own.

Seeing Airl inspecting the appearance of slime without fear, Brad rubbed his hands behind his back and finally walked in to help look through the ashes together.It's just that he still picked up a thick and long branch and held it in his hand, as if this would make him feel safer.

Search carefully and find 23 complete slime skins in total.Airl was very satisfied with the result, but just when he was about to turn over a piece of ashes and leave...

"Ok?"

His eyes lit up, and he reached into the mound.After a while, a white crystal about the size of a thumb appeared in his palm.

"What is this? A gemstone?"

Brad, carrying those slimes, came over and asked curiously.

"(Fairy language) Hmph, this idiot really doesn't understand anything. President, what is this?"

The corner of Airl's mouth raised slightly, and he handed the crystal in his palm to the two of them: "This is the crystal of a monster. Any monster has a certain chance of conceiving this crystal in its body. The more powerful the monster, the higher the chance. The higher it is, the bigger the condensed crystal will be. Generally speaking, this is the crystal of magic power."

Brad just showed that stupid look about the magic crystal, but Buffy was very excited, even flew off Brad's shoulder, and landed on Airl's palm to look at the crystal carefully: "(The goblin language) Really? What's the use of this? It feels so powerful!"

"Ah... yes."

Magic power crystallization, this is indeed a good thing.Although it is such a small piece, it should be able to sell for a good price.If you carve it and match it with a beautiful box, you should be able to sell it for a gold coin in the capital.

It was worth a fortune, so Arrow had a happy look on his face.

But he didn't show another layer of emotion. After pondering for a while, he put the crystals in his pocket, looked carefully at the surrounding woods, and walked towards the direction where the slimes came in large numbers last night.

"(Fairy language) President, what's wrong?"

"(Fairy language) Shh, don't talk. I want to prove something."

After walking along the slightly corroded trees for about five kilometers, Airl knew that he had now completely entered the depths of the Shining Forest.

He lay down next to a rotten tree root, raised his head, and looked furtively at a rock hole protruding from the ground in front of him.

It was about half the height of a person, and there was a hole about the height of the knee. It was dark inside, and I didn't know what was there.

Brad and Buffy in the back didn't dare to speak, they endured until Airl finished observing the retreat, and then they tiptoedly followed behind and left together.

Along the way, Airl finally left Shining Forest with his two new members.Basking in the sun again, he couldn't help stretching.After going through the fierce battle last night, even now that she is bathed in the scorching sun of summer, she doesn't feel so uncomfortable. Instead, she feels a little warm after the cold.

"That's the slime's lair."

Seeing that Brad and Buffy have always been holding back and not daring to speak, Arrow chuckled and began to explain——

"I've wondered for a long time that the Shining Forest doesn't seem to be short of food, why so many slimes would attack human villages at night."

"After seeing that some slimes can actually breed magic power crystals this time, I wondered if it wasn't just a coincidence, but some more powerful monster nearby, forcing those slimes to expand their territory?"

"Finally, we found that. According to my experience... If it's correct, there should be a King Slime in it. That thing should be the owner of this forest."

As the Fairy of Flowers, Buffy knows very well how troublesome slimes are.After listening to Airl's explanation, she said hastily: "(Fairy speaking) King Slime? Is such a terrible thing so close?! Let's hurry up and set fire to them!"

In this regard, Airl shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need for this. Have you forgotten? You are members of the guild now, and everything you do must be based on the interests of the guild. Now someone entrusts us to Destroy the slime's lair and kill the slime king?"

Brad and Buffy looked at each other, as if they didn't know what Arrow was trying to say.

Airl pointed a finger at the noses of the two of them, and said with a malicious smile: "The guild won't work without entrustment. We killed King Slime and cleaned up the slime." Slime's lair can't be exchanged for a few gold coins. You must know that keeping this lair can provide us with more jobs! Judging from the reproduction speed of slimes, the next time they are big enough to attack the village, they should It's harvest time. Then we can make another fortune."

"So... we don't care?" Brad and Buffy looked dull, as if they still haven't figured out what's going on here.

But Airl didn't blame these two, they had just become their members, and they didn't know how to work.

But on the other hand, it is not a good way to stock slime and then take a task every other quarter to collect a few copper coins.Once or twice is okay, but if it happens too often, it will be suspicious.And killing the slime won't make much money, so I still think of a way to make the people of Pelican Town aware of the danger of King Slime, and give myself a few silver coins at once to kill it, which is effective.

But then again, from a comprehensive point of view, it seems that the current lineup of my guild is not strong enough to take on the task of destroying the slime king... Sure enough, on the one hand, we still need to continue to recruit people, on the other hand You have to arm this warrior too.

Walking while thinking, after arriving at the farm, Airl knocked on the door. Mai Yi looked very happy after seeing the slime in Airl's hand, and readily paid the remaining six copper coins.Airl chatted with Mai Yi, his wife and children, left three slime skins for them before leaving, and walked towards Pelican Town with their thanks.

——1301年8月5日，任务酬金：+6铜。任务准备：-3铜5铁。结余84金3银1铜5铁——

The guild's gate opened, Arrow yawned, stretched and stepped in.

The moment the sun shone back into the guild, Napa immediately floated up from the counter to greet Airl.

After Brad and Buffy entered the guild, they were immediately shocked by the spacious and tidy guild hall.They kept looking around, amazed at what they saw.

After seeing Napa, she seemed even more cautious.

After a brief introduction to both parties, Airl said, "From today onwards, this is your home. Are you tired? Except for the room upstairs by the window is mine, and you can choose other rooms by yourself." One room. But before you rest, you need to clean up the room yourself."
