Frost Moon Prayer 8 am11:55

The Northwest Continent of Innocence, the Golden Capital, No. 12 Rongguang Avenue [Greedy] Tavern

At this time, pubs, which have both entertainment and dining functions, are often very lively, and [Tanbei], which is relatively famous on this street, is no exception, and because the owner here is good at brewing wine The business of wine is even much higher than that of other counterparts. It is bustling with people almost most of the time every day, and it is even more difficult to find one after nightfall. Even if the boss bought a shop next to it earlier this year and expanded the pub, It is difficult to meet the needs of guests.

However, it is not night after all, and most of the main customer groups such as adventurers and mercenaries have not left the room yet, so although the hall is already full, even the partitions on both sides are used a lot. But it's not to the point where you can't even squeeze through the door.

Loud guests, waiters whose feet never touch the floor, noisy kitchens, orc bosses leaning behind the counter to read their accounts, [Greedy Cup] is still continuing its routine year after year. At first glance, it seems It's no different from any other day.

but!

That's just at first glance. If any regular customers look carefully, they will find that the table of customers in the corner is very incompatible with this daily life.

In fact, there are quite a few people who are aware of this matter. However, based on the principle of doing less, it is better to do more than to do less. In addition, there are very few people who make themselves stupid at noon, so naturally it will not happen. This kind of fights usually only happen frequently after the sun goes down.

To put it simply, no one is meddling in other people’s business.

On the table, there are two plates of meat, three bowls of cold dishes, a stack of fragrant pancakes, and two bottles of high-quality distilled liquor with the same name as the tavern, a gift from the boss, whose cost price will never be less than 5 silver coins.

Sitting next to the table were five people who looked a little dazed and looked like adventurers.

Outside the door, a huge turtle-shaped monster was lying lazily basking in the sun.

Needless to say, they were naturally the Wangwang team who had accepted the commission from Father Kag of the Artisan Town Miners Association two days ago and went to the Golden City for an escort mission. They were Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Yaya, and Jadeka. , Anthony Dabbs and Wang Badan, a total of five people, six heads and one turtle.

As for why they were sitting in a trance in a tavern instead of handing over the goods somewhere, the reason was so simple that it was almost boring. That is, they had completed the task two hours ago, and not only successfully delivered the ore to their employer He even dropped by the Adventurer's Guild to collect the reward paid in advance by Father Kag.

Then, because Yaya started complaining that he was hungry, the group of them found a nearby pub, which was this [Tanbei], and ordered some food and drinks.

The whole process was smooth sailing and uneventful. If there was an episode, the only one was that the boss gave Ji Xiaoge two bottles of wine because he was so pleasant to the eyes.

It stands to reason that this kind of bland plot, which is as simple as boiled water, is purely "accept the task - hit the road - arrive at the destination - complete the task - receive the reward - rest and eat". There is nothing to say at all, and even if there is something to say, it will never be enough to pass the entire thousand. To explain in one word.

So why did I say it anyway?

The answer is of course not because I am cheap.

But...

"I always feel that something is wrong."

Jadeka made an ice pack on his staff with some melancholy. Although his stomach was empty, he did not touch the good wine and food in front of him, but frowned and murmured in a low voice.

"The barking is so barking..."

Yaya unskillfully poked the meat with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth. He swallowed it very quickly and nodded in vague agreement.

"I'm feeling it too."

Ji Xiaoge, who was holding his chin and leaning next to Yaya, nodded slightly, then picked up a piece of handkerchief and wiped the oil stains at the corners of the former's mouth, frowning and saying: "But no matter how I think about it, I feel that there is nothing wrong. It can't be just thinking.

Home, that doesn't make sense, Jadeka, you have been away from the grassland for so many years, and you have never seen anything like this before."

The old mage shrugged, took a sip from the cup of [Greedy Cup] that exuded a strong aroma of wine, took a long breath and said with a smile: "So it must not be because of homesickness."

Anthony on the side continued to snore. Because he had been fed by Ji Xiaoge before, he was now in a state of food sleepiness. In addition, Dabus beside him was not online yet, so this usually the most noisy guy became...

The most well-behaved one on the table.

As the nominal captain, Mo Tan is the calmest among them. Although he also feels that something is wrong, he does not take it as seriously as Jadeka, Yaya and Ji Xiaoge. After all,

I have seen many people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and I still have this kind of psychological quality.

In addition, Mo Tan, who has super intuition, can barely guess what everyone is struggling with, but because this kind of struggle is painful from any angle, he deliberately did not go there.

Think deeply.

"Eat first."

Mo Tan smiled and gave two pancakes to Jadeka, but did not touch the bottle of [Greedy Cup] in front of him. Instead, he poured himself a glass of warm water: "When you are full, find a place to sum up.

.”

He has been fond of drinking coffee since he was a child, but his compatibility with drinks such as wine and tea is not very good.

Although Hei Fan, the character with an "absolutely neutral" personality, has become more and more accustomed to black tea for some reasons, Mo Tan still prefers coffee and plain water.

Everyone nodded, but except for Yaya who was immersed in eating and Anthony who was half asleep, Ji Xiaoge and Jadeka still looked a little absent-minded, obviously still struggling with the lingering sense of disobedience.

"Hey, you two."

Mo Tan knocked on the table in a funny way, and reminded the devilish old man who claimed to be a mage and the biological and chemical weapons expert who claimed to be a cook: "Return to the soul, it's time to eat."

"Alas~"

Ji Xiaoge let out a long sigh, held his chin with some melancholy and muttered: "No, I still feel like something is wrong..."

Jadeka cooperated and ate half of the cake, but his mind was obviously not on eating.

Then......

Just when Mo Tan was hesitant to express his thoughts, Dabus raised his head.

"Good evening everyone, where are we?"

Dabus, who has been concentrating on preparing the [Special Lesson Plan] for the past two days and has hardly played the game, first said hello to everyone, and then suddenly said: "I'm going, but don't tell me that we are already there."

Yaya, who had already solved the third big bone in five minutes, nodded vigorously, then licked the corners of his shiny mouth and replied: "You guessed it, the dogs are already barking."

"Yes, this is the Golden City, and we have arrived."

Jadeka casually translated the babble lingua franca that Dabus could probably guess the meaning of, and then smiled: "And not only that, before you 'wake up', we had already found that Mr. Alden

, handed the goods to him, and then went to the Adventurer’s Guild to receive the reward.”

Dabbs blinked twice and pondered for a while before asking seriously: "Uh... what kind of person is Mr. Alden who is responsible for receiving the goods?"

"Mr. Alden?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully, he cast his eyes on Mo Tan and Jadeka as if asking for help: "I...I'm not very impressed.

Hey, do you remember?"

Jadeka also said "uh", and then he held it in for a long time before he finally said: "He is a quite gentleman?"

"A very gentleman, elegant and polite in conversation. He is about fifty years old. Although he doesn't talk much, he gives the impression that he is a decent and decent person. His living environment should be relatively pampered, but you can see from many details that he is very self-disciplined.

.”

Mo Tan, however, gave a very three-dimensional answer without any time to think.

Ji Xiaoge and Jadeka were shocked at the time, especially the former, who immediately asked: "Mo, are you not a famous detective in reality?"

"Don't make trouble, the 'detectives' of this era have long since deteriorated."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly and waved his hands to deny it. He...at least under his current personality, he was not very interested in the kind of job of secretly photographing people's cheating evidence all over the world.

"Then you made a special call to Mr. Alden? That's why you had such a deep impression? Uncle Control?"

Ji Xiaoge slammed the table, shocking everyone.

Jadeka, who had just been shocked by Mo Tan's precise retelling, was shocked again. Together with Dabus, he looked at the beautiful girl with bright eyes with strange eyes. Although he did not doubt Mo's orientation, he was interested in Ji Xiaoge.

Just now, Ma Xingkong guessed that the two of them were extremely convinced.

"Hey, hey, it's a joke."

Ji Xiaoge didn't wait for Mo Tan, who was messy in the wind, to retort. He smiled and winked at the latter who was struck by lightning. He lightly tapped his cherry lips and said with a smile: "Girls have to be a little bit rotten to be cute."

Well."

"cough!"

Mo Tan coughed dryly first, then turned away stiffly, turned to Dabbs and brought the topic back: "Why do you ask that? Is there something wrong with Mr. Alden?"

"I don't know if there is any problem."

Dabus shrugged and said helplessly: "You also know that I have been preparing lesson plans for the past two days, and the frequency of being online is extremely low. It's just that... that old gentleman is the escort mission of 'our' team.

Isn’t it too normal to pick up people?”

Then Mo Tan realized it, but he realized it and didn't say much.

"So, when you went to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in tasks, did you encounter anything... uh."

Dabbs did not continue talking, because by observing his mission log, he knew very well that his group had mostly completed the mission smoothly.

【Delivery】(100% completion)

Category: C-level adventurer mission

Task number: 0981

Posted by: President of the Artisan Town Miners Association - Kag Tiebeard

Recipient: [Woof Woof] All members of the adventurer team

Content: Escort a batch of placer gold mines to the Golden City, hand them over to Mr. Essien Alden, get the token and report to the Golden City branch of the Adventurer's Guild.

Mission reward: 800 gold coins. The evaluation of the adventurer team increases the amount corresponding to the mission.

Mission reward (players only): 100,000 optional experience, random excellent quality equipment*1,

[Note: Good people are rewarded.]

The above is the content in Dabus's mission log, and he also has an excellent quality cloak in his luggage. However, because the additional attribute is 'dexterity', for Anthony, whose core attributes are strength and intelligence,

·Dabbs is not that helpful.

At the same time, Mo Tan, who seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, immediately smiled and nodded, took out a large bag of gold coins from his bag and shook it: "Everything goes well, we will split the money soon."

"All the best...all the best..."

As a result, Ji Xiaoge next to him suddenly slapped his head, widened his eyes and said suddenly: "I know!"

Jadeka looked at him confused: "What do you know?"

"Everything went well!"

Ji Xiaoge, who finally discovered Hua Dian, clapped his hands suddenly and shouted softly: "I just said that I always felt that something was wrong! Don't you think our mission this time went too smoothly!?"

Jadeka, who was also troubled by the sense of disobedience, immediately took a breath and said in shock: "Yes! So it's because of this!!"

"Isn't that right? Think about it, from the time we received the mission from Father Kag until we got paid now, let alone accidents, we haven't even had an accident!"

"Ya Ya didn't go berserk! Anthony didn't go berserk! Mo didn't get pestered by anyone's eldest daughter or daughter-in-law! Ye Ge, you didn't get harassed by someone who didn't have eyesight either!"

"We haven't encountered any monsters or monsters, not a single bandit or bandit!"

"My staff has never exploded even once!"

"Even if Father Kag deliberately gave us an extremely simple task to thank us for our previous help, it was also a special freight route that has been maintained for decades in Craftsman Town, but..."

"But there were no accidents at all along the way, and I didn't encounter anything when I arrived at the destination. I always felt a little..."

"Unscientific!"

“Unrealistic!”

"Woof!"

The old man and the young child happily continued painting, sweeping away the depressing atmosphere before. Even Yaya screamed happily after understanding.

It feels like the feeling of relief when we suddenly forget something we planned a few minutes ago, and then finally remember it after struggling with ourselves.

Dabbs, on the other hand, looked at Mo Tan with a complicated face and asked in a low voice: "How dare they realize that this is not normal?"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Mo Tanqian laughed twice and sighed: "I feel very sad about the current situation where you equate the words 'everything went smoothly' with 'abnormal'."

Dabus laughed and shrugged: "That's what I say, but there is something really wrong with our painting style this time."

next second

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a loud noise, a figure suddenly flew out from a nearby cubicle and hit the table surrounded by Mo Tan and others, knocking over three sets of bowls and chopsticks and ruining half of the food on the table.

.

The bowls and chopsticks are the third pair of Mo Tan, Jadeka and Ji Xiaoge.

The food is for Yaya...and the half table in front of Anthony.

Looking at the bloodshot eyes of the dog girl across from him, Mo Tan immediately said bad in his heart, and then immediately reached out to grab Yaya, but he got nothing.

The next second, the young man who was smashed on the table had already been grabbed by the ankles by Yaya. He didn't even have time to scream and howl along the way before he was thrown back.

The kind that increases strength!

At the same time, feeling the overwhelming anger of the 'brother' next to him, Dabus' mouth twitched and sighed...

"Now the painting style is right."
Chapter completed!
