Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

"Little handsome guy, do you know that there was an avalanche on Mount Ness in the north of the city?"

Xi Wei shook his head, he had no interest in this matter, as long as the person buried by the avalanche wasn't him, what did it have to do with them?

Nami felt depressed, this child has no curiosity at all!

But she still didn't give up, and started lobbying Xi Wei, "Little handsome guy, the important thing is not the avalanche, but the legend that there is a huge treasure on Mount Ness. This time the avalanche exposed the treasure. Whoever gets it will be a great success." , even if we can only get a little bit by then, we don’t have to be mercenaries anymore, right?”

These words seem very tempting at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many loopholes. First of all, if someone finds the treasure, who will tell the world stupidly? What about Xi Wei who doesn't have any martial skills?

But the most important thing is that all treasures should belong to the protagonist, you fish-lipped humans.

Kino quietly rolled his eyes, he underestimated the cautiousness of his protagonist.

Since "Curse" didn't mention the treasure of Nisi Mountain at all in the early days, then this treasure is probably fake.

Even if it wasn't fake, Xi Wei, who is not adventurous at all, would not go there. Sure enough, Xi Wei said dryly in a calm tone as if listening to the weather forecast, "Mission."

Nami's eyes turned around, and she had an idea in an instant, "It has been snowing heavily recently, and there are no new tasks released. How about this, I will post a task, do you want to accept it?"

Xi Wei and Kino looked at her blankly with somewhat similar faces. The hook is too straight, only a fool will take the bait!

But there is such a fool in the world.

Xi Wei nodded after thinking about it for half a second.

Nami was pleasantly surprised, for some reason, she seemed to have found a way to deal with Xi Wei.

However, she held back, and then coughed, "That's right, I received a mission from a certain employer with the Windwolf Mercenary Group. The mission was to explore the treasures of Mount Ness. The snow mountain has a complex climate, so we need to bring a lot of spare items. It is estimated that it can be filled with three magic boxes, which cannot be lifted by ordinary people, I know you are strong, handsome boy, and your task is to take care of the magic boxes during our expedition."

After speaking in such a crackling breath, Nami felt a little thirsty, so she went to pour a glass of water to moisten her throat.

"Wind Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Nami nodded, "It's the Wind Wolf mercenary group that Charles is in. Although Charles is a bastard, they are the veritable No. [-] mercenary group in Ye Sacheng. Don't worry about their strength."

Xi Wei asked, "When?"

Nami found a stool and sat down, crossed her slender legs, and said leisurely, "Let's go tomorrow, wait at the bottom of the mountain, and go up the mountain as soon as the snow stops."

Xi Wei nodded, it looked like he couldn't get food from the mercenary union today.

Kino opened his mouth, wondering if he should stop it or not. According to the laws of the novel, the treasure linked to the protagonist is the protagonist’s gold finger. No matter how he looks like a passerby at first, the treasure will eventually fall into the protagonist’s hands due to various force majeure. , usually we call it the protagonist halo.

But he is very contradictory. This treasure is not mentioned in the book. I don't know if it is a hidden plot or a trap.

After drinking a glass of water, Nami got up and went to the counter. After a while, she came out, holding a pair of soft armor in her arms, and handed it to Xi Wei, "This is one of the props rented by the employer. Every member has it. It can resist The severe cold of the snow-capped mountains."

Xi Wei took it without any objection.

I went back very early today, almost only stayed in the mercenary union for a while before leaving, because the union was very depressed, there were only two or three kittens left in the mercenary union, there was no usual bustle and bustle at all, probably all went to inquire about treasures thing.

Kino lay on Xi Wei's back, and his warm breath brushed Xi Wei's neck evenly.

Kino thought and thought, but still couldn't hold back, "Baba, where are you going?"

If Xi Wei goes to the snow mountain, it is impossible to bring Kino with him. The climate in the snow mountain is harsh and the environment changes greatly. It is very unwise to bring Kino with him because it will be a burden.

Xi Wei said coldly, "Nice Snow Mountain."

Kino hesitated for a moment, but decided to pretend his ignorance to the end, trying to prevent Xi Wei from taking risks, "Don't you want me anymore?"

Xi Wei paused for a moment before replying in an emotionless tone, "Be back soon."

Kino put his arms around the neck of his protagonist, and fell into a contradiction again. One is an opportunity, and the other is danger. Should he believe in the aura of the protagonist in the newspaper's innocence?

In the midst of such contradictions, a smell of barbecue came, and the two children swallowed reflexively.

This taste compares the level of Drunk Bob's barbecue to the dust.

Looking in the direction where the smell came from, the faces of both of them changed. Wisps of gray smoke came from the small broken boat where they had lived for many years, and the smell of barbecue was also coming from there.

In Kino's mind, there were [-] grass-mud horses running, what kind of deep well ice is this barbecuing in the wooden cabin!

Xi Wei quickened his pace and rushed into the cabin like flying.

Hill held a fan in his hand, and leisurely fanned the wind towards the stove in front of him. There were several skewers of meat on the stove, turning them over from time to time. The smoke curled up along the holes in the cabin roof, acting as a natural From the range hood, there were occasional sparks from the stove, which made Chino tremble with fear.

Seeing them coming back, Hill, who was not conscious at all, greeted them with a smile, "Didn't you go to work? Why did you come back so early, and the meat hasn't been roasted yet."

With a cold face, Xi Wei turned around and went out, fetched a basin of water from the river, and poured it on the stove with a "splash".

"Ai? Wait!" Following Hill's stop, the water was splashed onto a transparent light curtain, and the fire in the stove was still burning, and it hadn't been extinguished at all.

Hill breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's waterproof."

Kino is embarrassed, but it seems that their "home" is not in danger of burning for the time being.

But seeing Hill made Kino's eyes light up, yes, why didn't he expect that Hill looks like an ordinary person, if he can protect Xi Wei, then there must be no problem!

Then Kino's eyes became eager.

Hill held back a smile, and said empathetically, "Why, are you going to the snow mountain to hunt for treasure?"

Xi Wei was not surprised by this stranger's prophetic ability, neither affirming nor denying it.

Hill added to the fire, "Young man, you can't take this little guy with you when you go treasure hunting, how about this, in order to thank you for taking me in asylum, I can take care of this little guy while you are out."

Xi Wei was silent, but finally shook his head.

Hill seemed a little regretful, but he was also curious about who else Xi Wei could entrust the little one to.

Kino is also very curious, Xiao Wu has left Ye Sa City, who else can the protagonist look for?

The barbecue was cooked quickly, and the whole cabin was full of tempting aromas. Hill took two skewers and handed them to Kino, "This is the accommodation fee, neither touched nor bitten."

Chino only felt that his salivary glands were overworked. Knowing Hill's identity, he was not polite this time, took it, raised his face and raised a bunch of them to Xi Wei's lips, "Baba, eat meat. "

Xi Wei didn't refuse. Since it's a lodging fee, there's no need to worry about being regarded as owed to him.

The portion of the barbecue was quite large, and it was sprinkled with cumin-like seasoning. It was fragrant and tempting. Xi Wei took out all his property - five copper coins, and pushed it in front of Hill. Xi Wei is very clear about the barbecue.

Hill thought of what Chino said last night. He only had one copper coin but gave me one. He was in a complicated mood for a moment. He didn't know whether to lament Evelyn's good luck or Chino's vicious eyes.

After dinner, Xi Wei packed Chino's bag tightly and went out again, this time the destination was Louvre Street.

Standing in front of the familiar door No. 72, Xi Wei knocked on the door, and Kino suddenly realized that he wanted to ask Xia An.

However, the door that usually opened slowly but eventually opened did not move today. Xi Wei stood in the snow for a long time, but the door never opened.

It wasn't until evening that Xi Wei dragged his frozen body and Kino, whose face had turned pale, away.

That night, Kino could feel that Xi Wei was sleeping very restlessly, and his brows were always frowning slightly.

Time passed regardless of people's wishes, as if it was dawn as soon as you closed your eyes.

Hill still didn't abide by the laws of the masters and quietly left in the dark. He didn't know what he wanted to do, and followed them to the mercenary union openly. Xi Wei treated him as if he didn't exist, and he had no ability to drive him away anyway.

The mercenary union was very lively today. Nami and members of the Wind Wolf mercenary group had arrived. When Xi Wei also came, Nami was surprised, "Little handsome guy, you won't take this little guy to the snow mountain, right?"

Xi Wei lowered his head and said, "Can the union take care of him for two days?"

Nami was a little embarrassed, "What about the little mother, I'm afraid no one in the union will take care of the child."

Things seem to be a bit troublesome now.

The hall was full of people and looked messy. Nami thought for a while, "Why don't I take you to see the employer first, and see what the employer has to say."

The employer stood at the counter with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black robe and had short blond hair. When he heard Nami's introduction, he turned around, his eyes were confused and empty, but there was an evil smile on his face, "Xi Wei is Is it? We meet again."
