Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

The Nightmare Forest on the border of the Mia Empire is a paradise for mercenaries and adventurers. For generations, monsters have haunted this place. It is both dangerous and full of opportunities. It is rich in resources. There is even a legend that this is the entrance of the elves. Some people have seen elves with their own eyes. It is unknown whether it is true or not. Relying on such a unique geographical environment, many towns have developed next to the Nightmare Forest for travelers to live in.

The small town of Siwa is the largest and oldest among them. It is said that its existence can even be traced back to the last era.

It was midsummer at this time, and the weather was so hot that even dogs were too lazy to pant. A black-haired boy stepped into the gate of the Mercenary Union in Siwa Town under the scorching sun. His collar was torn a little, revealing On the fair chest and a small collarbone, there is a bead of sweat on the neck that cannot resist the gravity of the earth and slowly slides down.

Once he stepped into the mercenary guild with a natural temperature-regulating circle, the young man finally took a breath. He fanned himself with his hand as a fan, and then wiped off the sweat that had been reluctant to fall, before walking to the counter.

The staff at the registration office noticed the young man from the moment he stepped into the union. Unlike most rude mercenaries, the young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pampered face and good upbringing, but he was not Domineering, only makes people feel kind when they smile.

Emily, who was in charge of the registration, was infatuated for a while, and then she came back to her senses. This kind of mercenary should be some kind of young master to experience the society. It is not something that a small registrar like her can imagine, so she just shook her head. , showing a gentle and professional smile, "What can this gentleman do for you?"

The boy bowed his head and thought for a while, then took out a silver badge and handed it to Emily, "Miss Registrar, I would like to ask if there is a mission to capture a unicorn cub recently, if so, please allow me Next."

Emily looked at the silver badge, even the last little thought was restrained, and she said solemnly, "Please wait a moment, I will check it for you, oh yes, there is indeed a mission to capture the cubs, Are you sure you want to pick it up?"

The young man nodded.

Seeing this, Emily took the silver badge and started to register, "Kino, a first-class mid-level mercenary, accepts the task of capturing unicorn cubs for ten days."

After registering, he returned the badge to the boy named Kino.

Kino put away his badge and was about to leave when suddenly there was a commotion in the hall. He looked into the corner and found that a group of mercenaries were arguing about something.

Out of curiosity, Kino stopped to take a look at the excitement. He was also very bored after being isolated from the world for more than three years.

Most of the mercenary guys are tall and big, surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and they can't see what's going on inside.

Judging from their babble, it seemed that some ugly person had stolen something from someone.

Kino jumped on the spot twice, passed over everyone's heads, barely saw a person surrounded inside, the mercenaries pushed and insulted him, but no one dared to do anything in the guild.

The stretched red patches on the left side of the man's face were indeed terrifying at first glance, no wonder they were called ugly.

"Ugly" was being pushed and shoved, with his head slightly lowered, without saying a word, as if a silent resistance.

Until the mercenary who claimed to have been stolen impatiently reached out to grab the "ugly monster"'s hair and force him to look up, but was stopped by another hand. Slightly calloused, the good-looking one is completely different from its owner.

It was the hand of "Ugly".

"Ugly" finally raised his head, and at that moment Kino jumped up and met his gaze.

His eyes were cold and deep, calm and frightening for no reason, and as soon as they met, they moved away and moved to the mercenary who was finding fault.

"I didn't steal from you."

The mercenary who was stopped was furious. He, a burly man, was stopped by such an ugly monster with an ordinary physique. He almost lost his status and was thrown to his grandma's house. Then his hormones rose for a while, and even the rules of the mercenary union that did not allow fighting were thrown to Java country.

However, he failed to teach this ugly monster a lesson. The ugly monster avoided all his attacks with ease. The big man's angry eyes were not eyes and noses, and his whole body was about to smoke.

The people around were stunned, we were wrong, we were really wrong, we only knew that he was ugly, but we forgot that no matter how ugly he was, he was still a mercenary, and ugly looks did not mean that his strength was as ugly as his looks.

So someone stretched out his hand and grabbed the burly man, signaling to him that he would accept him as soon as he was good enough so that he would not be able to get down in the end.

The big man is not an idiot, he also thought of it, this ugly monster is far superior to him in strength, but because of face, he can't just retreat like this.

When someone was in a dilemma, Emily noticed that there was a tendency to fight, so she trotted over and scolded, "You guys are so brave, you dare to make trouble in the trade union hall, you don't want [-]% of the contribution points, yes?" no!"

Seeing this, the faces of the onlookers who made trouble changed, and they all dispersed in despair.

In the end, there was only one ugly monster left, and Emily became angry when she saw him, "And you, you have been in our Siwa Town for a few days, causing trouble every day, do you know what it means to be a low-key person!"

Kino simply didn't know what to say. Although he didn't know if this person had really stolen something, he thought it was more likely that others would find fault with him on purpose. He had seen this kind of thing a lot. Ye Sacheng, he and Xi Wei are young, and they are being made things difficult every day. Fortunately, with Nami's help, life is not too difficult.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, so I interrupted Emily, "I prove that he really didn't steal the wallet, those people did it on purpose."

When Emily saw it was him, she believed it for a while, and then thought about the troublemakers who were not usually good people, so she almost believed it all, so she mumbled a few words, "Be careful next time."

In fact, Kino didn't know anything at all, and after perjury, he was a little guilty, but he had a strong instinct to believe that this ugly monster was definitely not a thief, and he always felt that a person with such eyes should disdain to be a thief.

Ugly finally took another look at Kino—there was neither gratitude nor grievance in his eyes, just as calm as before, and then, he just left the mercenary union without even saying thank you.

Kino was embarrassed for a while, but he seemed to feel that this was only natural, and he couldn't figure out where he got this strange feeling, so he shook his head and forgot about this episode.

This time, he has a mission, which is to try to stay by the side of his protagonist Xi Wei again, and continue to be a great and unknown savior!

For the reunion after more than three years, he planned it early in the morning. This Siwa Town is the first stop of Xi Wei's experience. At that time, there will be a huge treasure house in the nearby Nightmare Forest, and the reason is that someone picked it up. During the task of catching unicorn cubs, a level six monster was enraged. The monster got angry and smashed the defensive magic circle of the treasure house. Xi Wei got the most benefit from it.

Then here comes the problem, according to the inertia of the plot, Xi Wei will definitely appear here, but Siwa Town is so big, it is not easy to find someone.

I am so sad.

There is nothing to do for a while, anyway, on the last day, I will see you naturally.

He went through the plot in his mind, confirmed a few details, and ensured that there were no mistakes. He even thought of several ways to make his debut in front of his protagonist.

After consoling himself, Kino decided to go around the town. He was not familiar with Siwa Town, and he wandered without any purpose. Unknowingly, he walked more and more sideways, and walked into a deserted alleyway.

Suddenly, a weak groan came from the depths of the alleyway. It was the voice of a woman. Kino shivered and walked in the direction from which the sound came. It was a little hot, so I pulled the collar open again.

According to his original habit, he and Xi Wei's childhood education should never be nosy, this voice sounded like a troublesome reminder, but he really wanted to go, as if he would miss something if he didn't go.

In such a conflict, Kino couldn't help walking over there.

The groans were getting closer and closer. After turning a corner, everything unfolded in front of my eyes. An ethereal and beautiful woman was lying disheveled on the ground. Her fair face was soaked in sweat, and the painful groans seemed to have lost all strength. And getting lower and lower.

But this beautiful woman is a pregnant woman, her abdomen is swollen high, it is obvious that she is about to give birth.

But there was only a young man next to her. The young man held a sharp knife in his hand. His hand was very steady, and when he saw the position, he was about to strike the knife.

As soon as he turned the corner, Kino saw such a violent scene, and subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"

But the man holding the knife didn't seem to hear it at all. The knife in his hand kept stabbing into the pregnant woman's belly, and opened her abdomen. Red blood splashed on his face and the spot. Almost blended into one.

The pregnant woman let out a scream of pain.

There is no anesthesia in this era, so the pain of such a caesarean section can be imagined.

Kino was terrified when he saw it, and just about to step forward to stop it, the young man who stabbed him finally raised his head, and the red patch on his left cheek was impressively visible.
