Chapter 2 Night Talk
The hotel business is very good today, with 8 tables in the hall filled with them, Brandon kept serving dishes, serving wine, and removing empty dishes...
"The crops in the field are about to be harvested, and I hope those damn green goblins don't come here to make trouble this year."
"Don't worry, Grolin, I heard from the Baron's housekeeper that Baron had decided to clean up the goblins again at noon today, and Baron will ask the government officials to issue a formal reward task tomorrow morning."
"Is this true? Sorry, Mr. Turner, I'm not doubting your character, I'm just a little excited." Grolin did look a little excited.
"Nothing. Grolin is true, and it was because Mr. Baron asked the government officials to issue a reward task for formally clearing green goblins that we stayed and prepared to clean up these goblins."
Then Turner turned to Brandon and said, "Branton, are you interested in joining us and cleaning up these goblins together!"
After all, Brandon is a druid apprentice who knows some simple first aid methods and has good archery skills. Joining the mercenary team can help a lot and will not become a burden.
"Not yet, Mr. Turner, my level is not enough to get me to join your team!" Brandon politely rejected Turner's invitation.
...
The night gradually became deeper, and the idle people in the hotel gradually dissipated, including the alcoholic Fran, and even the mercenary team headed by Turner in the hotel returned to the upper floor to rest.
Mrs. Grant at the counter had just calculated her income today. Mrs. Grant was about thirty-five years old, wearing a sky blue coarse cloth skirt and a white apron, with some obvious wrinkles on her face.
She said to Brandon: "Branton, thanks to your help today, otherwise I would be a little too busy to rely on me and my wife."
"It's okay, I have no place to go to at night, and if I don't come out, I'll be alone in the room, right?"
Brandon replied with a smile.
"Well. Brandon, please go to the kitchen and bring the pancakes and the sausages and let's have a drink together."
Manager Grant walked into the house with a small bucket of fruit wine.
Brandon responded and turned to the kitchen to take out the pancakes and a plate of sausages.
The pancakes made by Mrs. Grant are the signature of the Grant Inn, which are similar to the sandwiches I often ate in my previous life. There is a thick layer of river fresh in the middle, including small fish and shrimps, and sometimes some clam meat is added. The river fresh is topped with soup made by Mrs. Grant and a few leafy vegetables.
It is really soft, tender, smooth, delicious, and has excellent taste. All the guests who have eaten it praise it.
After Brandon became a druid apprentice and began to harvest some wild goods from the forest to help the Grants relieve some stress, the Grants were willing to eat it frequently, otherwise they would only serve the Grants' dining table during festivals.
"Do you want to take the Baron's mission to clean up the goblins?" Mr. Grant asked Brandon.
"Yes, I'm a little moved, but I have to wait until the specific task comes out. After all, I don't know what the task requirements are and what the rewards are."
Granite nodded, "I suggest you become a formal druid and go again. I heard that although the first-level druid does not have powerful attack magic, it has good healing magic. This can be protected by the team's focus and the danger will be much smaller."
"Yes, as you think, formal druids will have healing magic. Although I feel that I have made considerable progress this year, I still don't know when I will advance." Brandon answered helplessly.
"If this happens, it's better to wait. After all, you have not advanced to the level of a warrior or a druid. A goblin is easy to deal with, but it is also dangerous to have too many goblins. Moreover, there are fierce beasts in the depths of the Thorn Forest. Lord Lord is not so easy to earn money!"
"If those goblins were really so easy to deal with, they would not have survived in the dangerous thorn forest for so many years. They could be hunters on the edge of the forest and accumulate some practical experience."
“I will seriously consider your suggestions.”
Brandon answered solemnly. He was not really 15 years old after all. He had the soul of an adult. He knew that what Grant said was very realistic. Although he wanted to make money, there was no need to do these overly risky things rashly.
What Grant said was sincere, and the Grants and his wife also sincerely considered Brandon. The couple regarded Brandon as their own child.
It is indeed a safe way to let Brandon hunt and practice skills and increase his experience on the edge of the forest. Brandon has been learning the druids with Master Jason in recent years, and has been active outside the forest and is familiar with the environment.
In recent years, Brandon has often practiced druid skills on the edge of the forest, and sometimes he can hunt some small animals and subsidize them to the hotel.
After dinner, Mrs. Grant said, "Okay, Brandon, go and rest, I'll do the rest."
Brandon nodded and agreed, then quickly slipped back to his room.
This was originally a custodian room, but later it was cleaned up by the Grants and his wife to serve as Brandon's room.
There is only a small window for lighting. The bed is in the innermost part of the house. A thick layer of wheat straw is covered with a sheet on the straw. On the sheet is a wild wolf fur rolled into long strips. It was regarded as a pillow by Brandon. This is the skin peeled off by a wild wolf that Brandon shot this year.
On the wall on the north side of the bed were Brandon's bow and arrows and a dagger. These two things basically spent all Brandon's money, but Brandon did not regret buying these two weapons.
There is a box on the pillow on the bed. When it is opened, it is a copper coin. The copper coin is crimson. The main material of the copper coin is expensive red copper, but the amount is very sufficient and the portion is not light.
On one side of the copper coins, there is a minted text "Northende Kingdom Prospers forever", and on the other side is a unique sword pattern. According to Miss Bertina, the priest of the King of Northrend, the temple of the Goddess of the Agriculture, it is the clan emblem of the kingdom of Northrend.
There are 5 copper coins in the box, well! You can buy 5 black bread, and there are still 95 copper coins to get a silver coin, and this is all Brandon's money now.
