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

Ai Luo glanced at the ashes inside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Brad, who was covering his hands.

"Let me see the back of your hand."

Brad nodded and handed over the back of his hand.

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

"Huh... when you get back, apply cold water on it. (Fairy language) Buffy, do you know the magic of healing?"

Buffy's face blushed slightly and she 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'm not very proficient in natural magic."

Ai Luo nodded, looked at Brad with a smile again, reached out and patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Okay! No one of us is seriously injured now, which is pretty good. I want to thank you too.

You just saved me. Come, let's see the results of our battle."

After comforting Brad, Arrow turned and walked into the salt land to inspect the ashes under the rising sun.

Well, as expected.

When you open the ashes, you can see one piece of slime skin that has lost its vitality and shriveled up like a piece of paper.

Arrow picked up these shriveled slime skins, checked them and rolled them up. However, Brad behind them seemed to be afraid to look at them, so he didn't force himself and picked them up on his own.

Seeing Arrow inspecting the slime without fear, Brad rubbed the back of his hand and finally walked in to help look through the ashes. However, he still picked up a thick and long stick.

Holding the branch in his hand seemed to make him feel safer.

After rummaging carefully, he found a total of twenty-three complete slime skins. Arrow was very satisfied with the result, but just when he was about to turn over the last piece of ashes and leave...

"Um?"

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

"What is this? A gem?"

Brad carried the slimes and walked over and asked curiously.

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

Ai Luo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and 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 gestating this crystal in its body. The more powerful the monster, the higher the chance."

The higher it is, the larger the condensed crystal will be. Generally speaking, this is the crystal of magic power."

Brad just showed a clumsy look about the magic crystal, but Buffy looked very excited, and even flew down from Brad's shoulder, landed on Arrow's palm and looked at the crystal carefully: "(Fairy)

(slang) Really? What’s the use of this? It feels so powerful!”

"Ah...yes."

Magic crystal, this is indeed a good thing.

Although it is such a small piece, it should be able to sell for a good price. If it is carved and put into a beautiful box, it should be sold for one gold coin in the capital.

This thing is worth money, so Airl's face showed a happy look.

But he did not show another layer of emotion. After pondering for a while, he put the crystal in his pocket, carefully looked at the surrounding woods, and walked in the direction where a large number of slimes came last night.

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

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

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

He was lying next to a rotten tree root, raised his head, and secretly looked at a rock hole rising from the ground in front of him.

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

Brad and Buffy behind them didn't dare to speak. They endured it until Airl finished observing the retreat, and then quietly followed behind and left together.

Along the way, Ai Luo finally left the Shining Forest with his two new members. He could not help but stretch when he was bathed in the sunshine again. After the fierce battle last night, even though it was now bathing in the summer

She no longer felt so uncomfortable under the scorching sunshine, but instead felt a bit warm after the cold.

"That's the slime's lair."

Seeing that Brad and Buffy were holding back and not daring to speak, Arrow chuckled and started to explain——

"I've long wondered why so many slimes would attack human villages at night, as the Shining Forest doesn't look like it's lacking food."

"After I saw that slimes can actually give birth to magic crystals this time, I wondered if this was not just a coincidence, but was there some more powerful monster nearby that forced those slimes to expand their territory?"

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

As a flower fairy, Buffy knew very well how troublesome slimes were. After listening to Arrow's explanation, she quickly said: "(Fairy language) Slime King? Is such a scary thing so close?

! Let’s quickly set fire to them again!”

In response, Ai Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need. Have you forgotten? You are now members of the guild, and everything you do must be based on the interests of the guild. Now someone has entrusted us to go

Destroy the slime’s nest and kill the slime king?”

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

Ai Luo raised a finger and pointed at their noses, and said with a malicious smile: "The guild will not work unless someone entrusts it. We killed the Slime King and cleaned up the Slime

Mu's lair can only be exchanged for a few gold coins. You must know that keeping this lair will provide us with more work! Judging from the reproduction speed of slimes, it will take more time for them to grow enough to attack the village next time.

It’s harvest time now. Then we can make another profit.”

"So...we don't care?" Brad and Buffy looked blank, as if they still didn't understand what was going on here.

But Ai Luo doesn't blame these two. They have just become their own members and don't know how to work yet.

But on the other hand, it is not a good idea to raise slimes and then take on a mission every other quarter to collect a few copper coins. Once or twice is fine, but more times will arouse suspicion. And you can also earn money by killing slimes.

For less than a few dollars, it would be more effective to find a way to make the people of Pelican Town aware of the dangers of the Slime King, and give yourself a few silver coins at once to destroy it.

But then again, taking all things into consideration, it seems that the current lineup of my guild is not strong enough to take on the task of annihilating the Slime King... Sure enough, on the one hand, we still need to continue to recruit people, and on the other hand, we still need to continue to recruit people.

This warrior must also be armed.

While thinking about it, Iroh walked up to the farm and knocked on the door. Mai looked very happy after seeing the slime in Iroh's hand, and readily paid the remaining six copper coins. Iroh and

Mai Yi chatted with his wife and children for a while, left them three slime skins before leaving, and walked towards Pelican Town with their thanks.

——August 5, 1301, mission reward: +6 copper. Mission preparation: -3 copper and 5 iron. The balance is 84 gold, 3 silver, 1 copper and 5 iron——

The door of the guild opened, Ai Luo yawned, stretched and stepped in.

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

After Brad and Buffy entered the guild, they were immediately shocked by the spacious and clean-looking guild hall. They kept looking around, surprised by everything in front of them.

After seeing Napa, she seemed even more reserved.

After Ai Luo gave a brief introduction to both parties, he said: "From today on, this is your home. Are you tired? Except for the room by the window upstairs, which is mine, you can choose the other rooms by yourself.

One room. But before going to bed, you need to clean the room yourself."

Brad nodded quickly: "I know! President, Vice President! I will work hard to clean it!"

With that said, he put his arms around Buffy and hurried upstairs. After a while, he heard a crackling sound coming from above. He didn't know whether this guy was cleaning or demolishing his own house.

Ai Luo exhaled, walked to the bar and sat down, exhaling a long breath.

"What mission did you complete? And you were asked to recruit two members."

Napa poured a glass of water from the water tank on the side, slid it on the bar, and put it in Ai Luo's hand.

Ai Luo took out eight copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table. He said with a smile: "Before taking the mission, I had 84 gold, 2 silver and 7 copper. In order to prepare the salt water potion, I spent 2 copper on salt, 1 copper on bottle, 5

I bought food on the road. Now I have earned 8 copper coins from the task. To sum up, my current savings are 84 gold coins, 3 silver coins, 1 copper coin and 5 iron coins."

Napa landed on the cushion, swayed her tail slightly, and said in a lazy tone: "It sounds like you are still far away from your goal of 1,000 gold coins."

Ai Luo said with a smile: "It's pretty good to receive a successful order right after the opening. Not to mention I have additional gains."

"Bonus bonus?"

Aero knew very well that the cat was not curious, and he was probably asking just because he had nothing to say.

However, Ai Luo still took out the magic crystal from his pocket and put it in front of Napa, and said: "How is it? Magic crystal, I'm surprised! I didn't expect that I would be able to find the magic crystal on my first mission!"

The moment Napa, who was still very lazy, saw the magic crystal, his originally indifferent eyes immediately became energetic! Its body also lifted up a little, and its eyes were fixed on the crystal.

Ai Luo pretended that he didn't see Napa's eyes and continued to "show off" to himself: "Isn't it awesome? Let me tell you! Such a magic crystal can be sold for at least 1 gold coin in the capital. If it is carved, it will be worth 1 gold coin."

With a more beautiful box, I can sell it for more than 5 gold coins! Hehe, so I made a lot of money from this mission!"

Hearing that Napa was going to sell the magic crystal, Napa seemed a little regretful. Its eyes were still fixed on the crystal, but unexpectedly, Airo stretched out his hand and put the crystal back into his pocket.

"Hey! Ariel!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Arrow showed a questioning expression.

Napa seemed very hesitant. He adjusted his posture back and forth on the seat several times. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Can you give me this crystal?"

"for you?"

Ai Luo believed that his face must be full of surprise. If possible, he would really like to take out a mirror and take a good look at his expression.
