My farm does not raise idle dragons

Chapter 16 Preparations for the Campfire Party

There was no one else in the tavern, it was very quiet, and it was a suitable place for chatting.

Finding a seat at random, Lu Xi showed interest in the few mercenaries he had just met, and asked Ayina about those mercenaries.

But in fact, what Lu Xi wants to know more is what the profession of "mercenary" represents in another world.

Ayina found a clean glass behind the bar of the tavern, went to the back kitchen of the tavern to pour a glass of water for Lu Xi, and then started talking to Lu Xi.

"Mr. Clyde and the others came to the village five nights ago. My father said that their mercenary group is called the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group. It is an intermediate mercenary group with seven members. Mr. Clyde is The head of the mercenary group."

Lu Xi couldn't help interrupting, "Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group? Are they famous?"

Ayi was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head in embarrassment, "I don't know, my father didn't tell me, but it should be very powerful, after all, it is an intermediate mercenary group, and my father said that he would become an intermediate mercenary group , there must be a member of an intermediate elemental fighter or an intermediate elemental mage."

Lu Xi pondered. Indeed, she had only met three of them, and she already felt the difference between them and ordinary civilians. Although Village Chief Lu Li felt dangerous, he couldn't compare to the sense of oppression brought by these people.

"Have they been living there since they came to the village? It seems that Mr. Clyde just came back from outside. Do you know what he did?" Lu Xi showed an interested expression.

"Yes, Mr. Clyde and the others have been staying at Kenler's house. I heard that they brought a lot of things with them when they came here. However, I slept too soundly that night, so I didn't see what Mr. Clyde and the others brought."

"Mr. Clyde and the others go out every day. They usually go to the Black Forest. They seem to be looking for something. I followed him once, and it was at the edge of the forest. But later, Mr. Clyde said that they were going deep into the Black Forest. , it was very dangerous, so I didn’t ask me to follow.”

"The monster meat used in the bonfire tonight is what Mr. Clyde hunted from the Black Forest."

These are not big secrets, the daily actions of the mercenary group are seen by the villagers of Kuva Village, and anyone who asks them can get the answer clearly, so Ayina is not guilty at all when she answers.

Lu Xi didn't ask further, because her purpose would be too obvious, so she asked someone else, "Will that Ms. Hai Lin go out every day?"

Ayina thought for a while, then shook her head, "I haven't seen Ms. Hailin go out, she seems to be in the yard all the time."

"Have you never entered the courtyard?" Lu Xi was curious.

"Mr. Clyde doesn't allow people to approach the yard. If we need to do something, we can do it in the front room and then take it to the backyard. My father said, Mr. Clyde and the others must have brought some dangerous things, I'm afraid Don't let us get close if it hurts us."

Ayina's eyes were full of envy, "Miketon's story said that mercenaries are like this, and they are always accompanied by danger."

"You want to be a mercenary?" Lu Xi found Ayina's expression very interesting.

"Hey." Ayina seemed a little embarrassed to answer, but her tone was very firm, "Yes, I want to be a mercenary like Mr. Clyde."

"I want to travel all over the kingdoms with my partners, to see the mountains and oceans mentioned in the stories, to hunt those dangerous monsters, to find treasures in the dragon's lair, to witness the elves' tree of life, and to see Look at how beautiful the siren is."

How should I put it, looking at Ayina's appearance, Lu Xi couldn't help but recall the scene when he spoke enthusiastically with his classmates in a Chinese composition class called "I want to be XX when I grow up" when he was in elementary school.

Naive and innocent, but the reality after growing up is that they become "social animals" one by one. None of the beautiful imaginations they have imagined have been realized. Instead, they are tortured by the exploitation of work every day.

Lu Xi didn't know what a mercenary looked like, but it was absolutely impossible to be as beautiful as Ayina said.

"Hahaha, what you think is too good, kid. Mercenaries are not the kind of good things you imagined." The weak door of the tavern was pushed open, and a man in his 30s came in with a slap in the face. Said Lu Xi's thoughts.

Lu Xi looked up, and saw an uncle with an unshaven beard, who seemed to be full of various life experiences, had already stepped in. He was also wearing leather armor, but the leather armor may have been damaged too many times, and only half of it was left , which he wore obliquely on his body, only protecting the important position, and he carried a huge weapon on his back.

"Boy, where is the old man in the tavern? Ask him to bring me two barrels of wine."

Before Ayina could react, the man had finished his request on his own.

"Didn't you say that their wine tastes weird? Why do you want to drink it?" Another voice came from behind the man, "Hurry up and go back, the boss is still waiting for us."

The boy who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old looked impatient. Instead of wearing leather armor or armor, he was wearing a brand new black robe with embroidered dark patterns that could not be seen clearly, and straps on his wrists and ankles. , for easy movement, and a long silver sword hung on his waist, but it doesn't look like it's used much, it's more like an ornament.

"The taste is a bit weird but it's not that you can't drink it. It's good to have wine in this kind of place. I'm not that picky. The young master and the boss are just opposite. It's two steps away. You can go back by yourself. You don't have to wait for me." The man stretched out his hand and picked his ears, as if he didn't care at all.

The boy snorted coldly, "Boss said that we should be in two groups and take care of each other to avoid accidents. You haven't gone back with me to see Boss, so we can't be separated."

"Okay, young master, what kind of accidents can happen in such a big village." The man rolled his eyes rudely.

Ayina waited for the two of them to finish their quarrel before saying hello. He seemed to be used to seeing this scene, "Mr. Kagli and Mr. Xiulan, there will be a bonfire meeting in the village tonight, and Old Curt has already taken all the wine away." no, not here."

"Tsk." Kagli stroked his hair unhappily, turned around and walked out without embarrassing Ayina, "Okay, let's go, young master."

Xiulan ignored Kagli, glanced at Lu Xi who had been silent all this time, frowned, but didn't say anything, turned around and followed Kagli, "Hmph, waste of time."

Lu Xi lowered her eyes and thought, if the few mercenaries she saw before were more in line with her stereotype of mercenaries, then the existence of Xiulan definitely exceeded her imagination.

Xiulan must be a mercenary from aristocratic background, and he instinctively told Lu Xi that what can prove this is the title of "Eldest Young Master" in Kagli's mouth, and the clean and brand-new clothes on Xiulan. It is worn by ordinary civilians.

"Miss Lucy, what are you thinking?" Ayina noticed Lu Xi's ecstasy.

"That mercenary Mr. Xiulan looks very young, can he become a mercenary at such a young age?" Lu Xi brought the topic to Xiulan.

"Well, Mr. Xiulan is indeed very young. There seems to be no age limit for becoming a mercenary, but if you want to become a mercenary, you must at least become a low-level elemental warrior. I don't know if I can become an elemental warrior. I'm still 16 years old. It's been a long time." Ayina was discouraged.

Lu Xi keenly grasped the key point in this sentence: to become an elemental warrior, there is an age requirement.

But asking this question showed that she was too ignorant, so Lu Xi had no choice but to skip this question and asked about the monsters that she was most concerned about.

"Ayina, have you seen many monsters? Are they all dangerous? I don't seem to have seen any dangerous monsters in the forest."

"I've seen many monsters in the Pro Black Forest. Only low-level monsters are more dangerous, but Miss Lucy, it's better if you haven't seen low-level monsters." Ayina told the truth honestly.

After all, if Lu Xi saw a dangerous low-level monster, it would be impossible for Lu Xi to appear here.

Lu Xi was silent, and then continued to ask seemingly indifferently, "Then what if you meet monster cubs without parents? Do you want to kill them?"

"It should be." Ayina was at a loss, maybe he hadn't thought about this kind of question.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Xi's heart suddenly became cold.

But soon, Ayina scratched his head again, "If you bring them back to the village to raise them, you have to pay a large deposit every year. Our village probably doesn't have that much money, otherwise my father would have gone to the Black Forest to catch a few monsters." The cubs are back to be raised."

"But let them grow up, and they will hurt people in the future, so they should be killed directly."

Lu Xi stared at Ayina for several times, until Ayina nervously began to think about what he did wrong, and then slowly let out a breath.

He gasped for breath as he spoke, scaring her to death.

"Why do you need to pay a security deposit?"

"Because low-level monsters are easy to get out of control. They may hurt people or something. When the patrol team sees low-level monsters, they will take the initiative to clean them up. Even if they are raised by the village themselves, the patrol team will not treat them as if they have paid a deposit. The danger is cleared away, and you can bring the monsters that have paid the deposit into the town of Viguri." Ayina replied naturally.

Lu Xi accepted this answer, and at the same time felt a lot more relaxed. She still has a lot of jewelry and gold threads on her body, which are all valuable things. She can buy a safe place for Xiao Yuan, and she doesn't need to worry about others calling Xiao Yuan Shout to kill.

Breathing out a foul breath, the smile on Lu Xi's face became much more real, and he took out his pocket watch to check the time, "It's already noon, you should go back to eat."

She also has to go back and share the good news with Xiaoyuan.

"Is this a pocket watch?" Ayina was surprised, "It's so small, I only have a very big clock at home that can be used to tell the time."

As a former trainee knight, Village Chief Lu Li's house has many items that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, such as clocks.

Lu Xi was in a good mood, took out his pocket watch and showed Ayina a look, "Yes, but I haven't adjusted it for a long time, I don't know if the time is still so accurate."

Ayina didn't pick it up, and after looking at it from a distance, she was satisfied, and at the same time noticed the photo on the inside of the pocket watch, "Is this Miss Lucy when she was young? Miss Lucy was very beautiful when she was young."

Lu Xi smiled and said nothing, put away the pocket watch, Ayina suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Miss Lucy, why don't you come to my house for dinner at noon today, my sister also wants to see you, she is five years old My younger sister, she heard that you are beautiful, and has always wanted to see you."

Lu Xi blinked, Aina, Ayina, a one-year-old unknown sister, and now a five-year-old sister... Village Chief Lu Li is really good at giving birth, no wonder there are eleven people in the family.

However, Ayina's invitation was not hindered, and Lu Xi finally agreed to go to his house for lunch. Ayina excitedly told Ayina that Lu Xi would not go back for lunch at noon, and introduced him to Lu Xi when he came back. family member.

In addition to the two younger sisters, Ayina also has a ten-year-old younger brother, and there are five children in the family!

The five-year-old sister Laura did exactly what Ayina said, she began to praise Lu Xi for her beauty as soon as she saw her, and she stuck to Lu Xi the whole time.

At the same time, Lu Xi also met Mrs. Sally, the wife of Village Chief Lu Li. She is a very burly lady. Although it is a bit rude to say so, she is really strong and strong enough to stand next to Village Chief Lu Li. , and it doesn't look obtrusive, the two are a perfect match.

Mrs. Sally prepared a hearty lunch for Lu Xi. Of course, no matter how rich it is, it cannot be separated from the combination of soup and black bread.

After the meal, Lu Xi was playing with a few children, and when he heard the village chief Lu Li summoning the villagers to pick some edible fruits and wild vegetables in the Black Forest, he asked Ayina about it.

"We're going to hold a bonfire party at night, and only monster meat is not enough to eat. My father wants to go to the Black Forest to get some other food." Ayina was very excited and planned to go along.

Thinking of Xiaoyuan's love of grilled mushrooms, Lu Xi was also moved, and wanted to pick some back for Xiaoyuan to eat, so he found Village Chief Lu Li.

Village Chief Lu Li thought for a while, there are dozens of villagers going together along the way, they will not go too deep into the forest, safety can be guaranteed, and Lu Xi has lived in the wild for a long time by himself, so he will not drag others down too much, So nod.

Although he didn't dare to refuse the request of a noble lady.

Lu Xi spent the whole afternoon in the forest, and picked a lot of mushrooms as he wished, and Ayi then carried the basket for Lu Xi.

"Miss Lucy, can this kind of thing be eaten? Wouldn't it be poisonous?" Ayina showed doubts. Some people in their village had eaten mushrooms, but they couldn't tell whether they were poisonous or not, so they picked them together and ate them. After the poisoning happened, no one dared to eat it.

"It seems that this kind of mushroom is not poisonous and can be eaten. I ate a lot when I was in the forest." Lu Xi shared the truth about these mushrooms with Ayina and the nearby villagers, and gained a lot of support. Grateful eyes, and at the same time added a little new ingredients to the bonfire party at night.

"However, if you haven't eaten mushrooms and are not sure about their toxicity, it's best not to blindly believe in these mushroom theories. It's better to find other monsters to test the poison first." Lu Xi added.

Ayina nodded heavily, expressing that she remembered.

By the time the outbound team returned to the village, it was already dark, and a huge bonfire had already risen in the open space of the square. The flames were burning, illuminating half of the village.

　I saw comments that the pace has been slow recently.

　　In fact, I have included too many background descriptions of the world view in the last few chapters, which makes it seem so slow. After all, in terms of time, so many chapters have passed in less than a day and a night.

　　(However, the rhythm of this article itself will be slower, and there will be a lot of daily content)

　　Don’t be in a hurry to go to the farm. There are still many things I haven’t written yet, so let’s take our time.

　　My goal for this book is a long story~
