Chapter 8 A Little Magic
The soldiers' weapons were too blunt, but their agility was far beyond what Brad, a semi-professional soldier with only two days of combat knowledge, could match. But Brad was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and the blunt sword couldn't cut it.
Apart from two bloody marks on his body, there were no serious injuries.
"(Fairy language) Parfait! Fragrance!"
Following Arrow's command, the parfait in Brad's pocket quickly released a rich fruity fragrance. The death soldier paused slightly at that moment when he smelled the fragrance. Brad raised the wooden stick in his hand without hesitation and hit it hard.
Hit it on the chest.
With just one blow, the skeleton was completely shattered, and the skull rolled away with a roar.
Seeing that Brad finally killed the skeleton, the townspeople breathed a sigh of relief.
But Arrow did not relax. He immediately called to Brad: "Don't relax! Death soldiers will not die so easily! Come back first!"
Brad was stunned, and quickly took the wooden stick in his hand and moved towards Arrow while being vigilant. Sure enough, the pile of scattered bones started to move again after just a few seconds, and became a skeleton again.
The corpse, holding the sword in his hand again, slowly walked toward the crowd.
"Walk!"
At the mayor's loud shout, the townspeople immediately ran away in the direction they came from. No one dared to look back, and after running for who knows how long, they finally returned to the town square. It was only at this time that someone remembered that there were two injured people.
The victims were still lying there, but their faces were all pale, and no one dared to suggest going back to rescue them.
Buffy flew out, looked at the wounds on Brad's body, showed a distressed expression, stretched out her hand to touch the wounds gently. Brad giggled, stretched out his big palm to protect Buffy's figure, and prevented her from letting go.
Seen by the townspeople.
Ai Luo took a deep breath and his mind was working rapidly.
"Before, I said that there are no tasks to take on here, so I asked you to leave as soon as possible."
Little Spirits pulled the little girl over and threw the little girl into Ai Luo's arms. Ai Luo put his arms around her and continued to look at Little Spirits.
"But now the situation has changed. Necromancer is simply not something that a guild of your level can handle. If you still have brains, it's best to find a guild that has the ability to handle tasks of this level recently for help, or
You should leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, Xiao Lijiu turned around and left with a careless look, looking like he was unwilling to wade into this muddy water.
Ai Luo held the little girl in his arms and tilted his head to think about the subtext of what Little Spirits had just said. But at this time, the little girl in his arms struggled slightly and silently broke away from Ai Luo's arms, timidly.
Standing nearby, with tears still on his face, he put his hand into his robe and tremblingly took out a dry branch, as if holding a life-saving straw.
Ai Luo thought for a moment and turned around: "Napa."
Napa: "What?"
Ai Luo was not polite and greeted him with a smile. This smile made Napa's hair go down, and an ominous premonition immediately rose from this hair ball.
Holding Napa in his arms, Airo slowly walked up to the little girl and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Airo Garcia, and I opened an adventurer's guild called Mermaid Song in Pelican Town.
May I have your name?"
As he spoke, Ai Luo pushed Napa into the little girl's arms.
Perhaps she was impressed by Arrow's smile, or she had a natural affinity for furry cats like Napa. The dead branch in the little girl's hand trembled for a few times before she finally put it down. She lowered her head and raised her hand to the ground.
A voice that was almost inaudible to Arrow said——
"cocoa……"
"Okay, Coco, we know each other now. This is my guild member Brad, and our vice-president Napa, please get to know each other first."
After a brief introduction, Arrow pushed Napa directly to Brad and Napa, and walked towards the round cheese mayor with a frown on his face.
In the center of the square, the mayor, who had long been out of breath with fright, and some of the strong men who had been yelling the most energetically gathered together, but they were no longer as high-spirited as before.
Their faces were pale, and each of them felt as if they had eaten rotten meat covered with maggots.
Ai Luo stepped forward, put away the habitual smile on his face, and said slowly: "It seems that we have encountered a hard problem this time."
Someone spoke, and these big men turned back and looked at the petite-looking boy in front of them.
After the mayor took a long breath, his voice trembled: "One... one gold coin...? Do you really want... one gold coin?"
Ai Luo shook his hand: "To be honest, the gold coin at the beginning was just because I wanted to increase my worth. A thief is really not worth that much money."
"so?!"
The mayor's face showed a smile like finding money, and with the expectation on his face, others also looked at Ai Luo with expectant eyes.
"I never thought that a necromancer would appear in such a remote town. This is beyond the scope of 'work', but a threat to our town."
Arrow deliberately emphasized "our town" to show that he was on the same side as the townspeople.
"If there is a necromancer in the town, my future work will not be smooth. Therefore, it is my duty as a member of Pelican Town to find a way to get rid of this necromancer. For this reason..."
Having said this, Airot paused for a moment. The townspeople immediately looked at him obediently, and no one interrupted.
This method of transferring attention may not be useful in big cities, but it works quite well in small towns and places like this.
Seeing that his reputation is increasing, Ai Luo continues to add bricks and tiles——
"So, I don't want a single iron coin for this commission. Protecting Pelican Town is my obligation as a citizen of this town. I just hope that everyone can work together to solve this problem."
free?
When he heard the word free, the mayor immediately jumped up as if he had drunk a stimulating potion, and his face was as happy as a child. The other strong men were also full of interest now, with smiles on their faces.
But...free?
They didn't know it, but Airl knew it very well.
What is the most expensive thing in the world?
Free things are always the most expensive.
The Mayor of Round Cheese, who was tempted by the free offer, immediately recovered from his paralyzed state. He hurriedly walked up to Ai Luo and swore to the sky with an excited look: "As long as! As long as you have any need! Anywhere that needs our help,
We, Pelican Town, will overcome the difficulties together!"
Ai Luo knew that from now on, he and his guild would truly integrate into Pelican Town, and be regarded as one of the same members by everyone here.
He nodded, and the smile returned to his face: "With the death soldiers, there must be a certain necromancer secretly controlling it. Although we still don't know what this necromancer wants to do in our town, but it's best now
The best way is to expel him first."
Everyone nodded, and Ai Luo waved to the members of Mermaid Song behind him. Brad and Napa slowly came over. The little girl named Coco moved behind Brad, and immediately shrank back once she got close to Ai Luo.
Get behind Arrow.
Ai Luo touched her head with a smile and continued: "Leave professional matters to professionals. Since it is a battle, just leave it to our guild. But as you have also seen, our guild members
The wounds on the body.”
Brad came over, and the wounds left by the fierce battle just now were very noticeable.
"The warriors in my guild currently lack armor. If they can have a suitable set of armor and weapons, they will definitely be more effective in fighting. But the problem is... there seems to be no store in Pelican Town that can make weapons and equipment."
Round Cheese looked in approval. After all, everyone saw Brad's heroic fighting appearance, and the wounds on his body did not lie. The mayor immediately turned his head and greeted a middle-aged man who looked a little bald.
Man, come here——
"Long stick, can you solve the problem of weapons?"
The long stick looks a little short, but its arms are very thick, and its smooth head looks like a braised egg.
He raised his slightly trembling hand and patted his chest: "I don't know, I run a tool shop, not a weapons shop. It's perfectly fine for you to build a pitchfork, hoe or something, but weapons...I
You can try it.”
Just as the tool shop owner finished speaking, another man next to him who looked a little thin raised his hand: "If we have the equipment, our tailor shop can do it."
Ai Luo didn't speak, he waited for others to ask all the questions for him.
The long stick pushed the tailor shop owner slightly: "Are you okay? Budian, can your clothes withstand the attack of that monster?"
Budian thought for a while and said: "Aren't the wear-resistant and anti-fall clothes that you usually wear for farm work all come from my family? Aren't the quality all very good? Although I don't know if anti-monsters are good...
But I will add two more pieces of cowhide. Although it may be a bit heavy, the effect should be pretty good."
At this time, Ai Luo spoke: "Boss Budian, instead of adding cowhide, I have some slime skin here. Can you help me add it?"
Budian hesitated: "Are you sure it's okay? Slime leather is better than cowhide?"
It’s a joke, slime skin is a monster skin that can survive after being burned. Previously, Arrow was thinking about finding some excuse to ask the tailor shop owner to help sew one, but he couldn’t figure out how to lower the price.
After all, in big cities, the price of customizing a piece of clothing with monster skin is not cheap.
Now that someone is willing to provide it for free, why not take it out as soon as possible?
Round Cheese looked relieved, and his round face was filled with a satisfied smile. Since the mayor was so happy and felt relieved after finding someone to take over, Ai Luo was also happy that she felt this way.
"Then, I will go back and get the materials for Boss Budian now. And Boss Long Stick, I hope you can make a handy hammer that can be wielded with great force."
With the equipment and weapons in hand, Ai Luo naturally had a smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at the round cheese again, and said politely and with dignity: "Boss, under the current circumstances, we should go back and rest separately. I
It is estimated that this undead soldier has not hurt anyone before, so if everyone closes the doors and windows tonight, be vigilant, and wait until dawn, it should be fine. After the equipment is ready, I will eradicate this scourge immediately!"
With the mayor's endorsement, Arrow proposed disbandment, so the frightened townspeople naturally gradually dispersed. Arrow discussed with Brad and asked him to bring two brave men with him.
Go and rescue the abandoned townspeople. At the same time, you can rest assured that the undead soldier has indeed disappeared.
After that, Arrow returned to the guild and sent all the twenty pieces of slime skin he had stored to the tailor shop to Boss Budian. He explained the toughness of slime skin. Then he went to the tool shop to talk to the boss of the long stick.
The length of the hammer is now considered complete and we return to the guild.
