The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 310 Reunion and cooperation again

The remaining demon team, led by Grigori, soon left the Nagen Hills.

The kobold Wutikul had obviously learned the previous lesson and no longer turned a blind eye to the demons in the hills. The day after Allen led the team to leave, he led dozens of warriors from his clan to chase Following the traces left by the demons, they began to kill them.

Finally, Grigory took the remaining demons and met the kobold team in the valley where they had previously stayed, and the two sides fought fiercely.

As a result, no one was pleased. Half of the kobold team of the Korrik tribe were strangled by the demons, and the demons also lost more than 13 mid-level demons to the spears of the 5th-level warrior Wutikul and his tribe. More than ten low-level demons.

It was Wutikul, a high-level warrior, who gave the order to retreat. The number of middle-level warriors in his tribe was too small, so he carried out this rash killing operation. The first time he encountered the remnants of the demon, he suffered numerous casualties. Wrapped in anger, pain, and regret in his heart, Wutikul had no choice but to personally cut off the retreat before more warriors in the clan died, giving everyone a chance to retreat.

The demon was not completely crazy, and continued to pursue Wutikul's team of kobolds. He just looked up to the sky and roared as he watched the group of kobolds leave. With the experience of the previous battle, Grigory was worried that when he led people to pursue him, he would attract the powerful bugbear last time and kill him and the remaining dozen demons around him like melons and vegetables.

Even because he was worried that the kobolds would tell the goblins where Grigory and his group of demons were hiding, after enjoying a meal of kobold meat with the remaining demons, Grigory decided to take the other demons to change places and no longer stay there. Nagan Hills stayed.

But Grigory, who was unfamiliar with the place, finally chose the direction that was almost the same as the direction Allen and the others took on their return trip, except that the distance between the two sides widened to hundreds of miles. Unless Allen and the others stopped, or Grigory and the others speed up, otherwise the chance of encountering each other is still very small.

When Linus passed by the bush where Xiaobai disappeared, his mood became depressed again. It could be said that he looked back three times in one step, and even shouted from time to time, hoping that Xiaobai could hear his call. But it was obvious that Xiao Bai, this young warg, had already been filled with animal desires. At this time, he didn't know where he had been led by the wind warg.

Linus couldn't see Xiao Bai until Allen and the others passed through the bushes. In the end, he could only hide in the team with a depressed face and lost his mind.

Irene who was standing by could not stand it any longer, so she walked over to Linus and whispered quietly in Linus's ear. He didn't know what Irene said, but soon Linus's eyes became bright, and he looked directly at Irene with expectant eyes.

Allen saw all this. Although he didn't know what Irene said specifically, Linus's change betrayed Irene. Without much thought, Allen roughly guessed that Irene was comforting Reiner. Si's content is nothing more than that the next time their team acts alone, they will accompany Linus to look for Xiaobai.

Allen has never had much affection for Xiaobai, a beast. Xiaobai's previous behavior that angered him has gradually made him forget about it in these days. So if Xiaobai really comes back, Allen will not interfere. What to do to Xiaobai. After all, it is a pet kept by Linus, and it has some uses. Otherwise, he will never tolerate something that only wastes food without making any contribution.

When they returned to Mansha City, it had only been more than half a month since Allen and the others left. Most of that time was spent on traveling and looking for the Korrik tribe. The rest was just fighting with the demons. It took most of a day's work.

He led the teenagers to hand over the tasks one by one. At the same time, Allen himself also handed over Vita Jean's head to the Oak Temple, in exchange for 25 temple contribution points, which was short of the 150 points required for a Berserker inheritance. Contribution is a big step forward.

As for Kerr and the others, their mission gains were not much different from Allen's, and they also had nearly 20 points of contribution income. The group of demons that suddenly nearly doubled in number were not completely wiped out by Allen and the others in the end, but most of them were killed by Allen and the kobolds together.

It's just a pity that although there was a flaw when accepting the mission, when the staff of the temple and the government affairs hall of the city guard were counting the demon corpses, they only recognized the heads and ignored the others. This made Allen collect a whole corpse of the Berserker Demon, and his plan of handing over a head in the temple and a headless body in the Government Affairs Hall came to nothing.

Having just completed a task, Allen did not intend to ask the teenagers to take on another task immediately. Instead, he took them to the monastery of the Oak Temple to find a larger courtyard to live in and let everyone adjust.

Allen himself also wanted to slow down. Faced with various mission objectives, he had no way to distinguish which mission object was more challenging. After all, when I came out this time, in addition to taking the young people to see Mansha City and accompanying them for training, I also wanted to use actual combat to continue to hone my stagnant strength and find a way forward.

At the same time, Allen also hopes to take this opportunity to redeem a few more inheritance crystals for the tribe. All the specialties on the Berserker crystals in the clan that are suitable for Allen have been learned and absorbed by him, such as mastering heavy attacks, deflecting arrows, combat reflexes and other specialties.

Of course, idleness was idleness, and Allen did not forget to pick up his previous craftsmanship. He spent some gold coins to buy another cart, preparing to continue the small business he had put down more than ten years ago.

Allen has already inquired about it. Shaka, the legendary jackal, was recalled by the leader of the Quila tribe before the Evil God Rebellion appeared, and has not returned yet.

Without this powerful legend in the city, Allen's hands and feet are much more relaxed. He is even preparing to take this opportunity to find a few suitable stores in the city and rent them. Next time, when he goes back to the tribe and brings a few outstanding chefs and waiters, he will open a branch of Allen's Pasta Restaurant here.

So, for the sake of this long-term and important tribal economic foundation, Allen doesn't mind laying some foundations in advance for the upcoming opening of the noodle restaurant in his spare time.

Of course, Allen is definitely not doing it because running a pasta stall can allow him to earn a few more gold coins while staying in the city. Absolutely not! !

Anyway, with the ready labor force, Kerr and the others had no problem making simple pasta such as dumplings and ramen under the influence of their relatives.

While running the noodle stall, Allen was inquiring about all kinds of information about demons, such as which tasks are more challenging, which demons are more powerful, etc.

In an unfamiliar place, Allen always failed to get in when he wanted to get information. Although he learned something by tipping the bartender, it was still far from what Allen really wanted to know. , which was one of the reasons why he wanted to find a few acquaintances from the beginning to see if he could learn more important information through them.

Before getting much information, Allen's noodle stall opened first. However, what Allen didn't expect was that within a day of opening his noodle stall, and before the business even came to his door, an acquaintance came looking for him. Come over.

"Hey, I said this is a bugbear warrior. Isn't it a good habit to occupy the road and set up a stall?"

A natural fragrance came over, and a capable and crisp female voice sounded behind Allen.

When Allen turned his head, what he saw was a familiar face with a smile like a flower and a vaguely mature air. Kaiya, a human female archer wearing old python scale armor, stood behind him. .

"It's you, Kaia."

Allen showed a rare smile, as if he had never smiled in front of Kaiya.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Ever since I heard from Albian that you came to Mansha City more than half a month ago, I have been visiting here from time to time. I was wondering if you would continue your great career, but I didn't expect you to come back. Have you really not given up on this deal?"

Kaiya was also very happy. It was indeed a happy event for friends who had not seen each other for more than ten years to meet again.

Although, the relationship between Kaiya and Allen may not be very close, and as adventurers, they will encounter all kinds of companions on every mission. If you really want to say how much you value a fate that happened more than ten years ago, it must be Fake. However, Kaiya has not found many non-devout believers who could be personally greeted and arranged by Captain Nordin to live in the back hall of the temple with other temple members over the years.

For Allen to be treated like this, it must be that he has some kind of talent and was attracted by the legend Nordin, otherwise he would not have done this kind of wooing behavior.

At that time, Kaiya had made some insinuations when communicating with Allen, confirming that the other party and Nordin only met by chance during an adventure, and had no close relationship with Nordin, the dwarf legend. Even Allen and Oscar were not close to each other. The legend had a friendly relationship, and she also found out about it.

Allen, a bugbear, must be outstanding if he was favored by two legends at a high level, so Kaiya focused on maintaining a good relationship with Allen.

Coupled with Allen's outstanding strength, he was able to fight back and forth with a fallen paladin at the peak of level 15 before he even advanced to level 15, and he did not fall behind in a short period of time. This was already very impressive in Kaiya's opinion. It's valuable and a good partner.

As for the subsequent long time exchanges with Allen, and after understanding the character of Allen, a native of the wilderness, Kaiya felt that he was worth getting to know deeply.

Adventurers are a mixed bag, and every large and medium-sized mission will be joined by many adventurers they know and don't know. Lone travelers like Kaiya often need to cooperate with others to complete tasks together. However, in Kaiya's adventures over the years, adventurers who can really let Kaiya turn her back to each other and be trustworthy are very rare and rare.

"I just finished an adventure mission and wanted to take a rest, but I'm bored when I'm idle, so I just found something to do."

Allen raised his hand and handed Kaiya a freshly baked meat bun.

"...Well, it's so delicious. Over the years, I've been dreaming about having another bite of this bun."

Kaiya took a sip, her mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, and her face was filled with the taste of enjoyment.

"How are you, are you okay?"

"Where's Alba? Is he still at the castle guard's palace?"

Allen didn't pay too much attention to Kaiya's expression, but lowered his head and continued busy with his own affairs. At the same time, he asked Kaiya and his friends one after another.

Kaia's arrival made Alan gain a lot from chatting with her, and he also learned a lot about Albie and Richard.

"Alan, when you come back to Mansha City, are you really going to continue doing this pasta business?"

After the two chatted warmly for a while, Kaiya stretched her waist comfortably. The feeling of fullness in her belly made her finally restrain her desire to eat, and then she looked at Allen and asked about his purpose.

"No, this time I am going to find some challenging tasks to hone my strength."

Allen shook his head, and in his peripheral vision he spotted Kerr and Irene coming out of the monastery, and gently waved them over.

"This is my tribe, a group of little guys who came out with me to practice this time. Come to Kerr, Irene, and call them Aunt Kaiya."

"Hello Aunt Kaiya!"

The two little girls are quite experienced in being good in front of their elders. After all, they have practiced in front of the old man Ferok for so many years. Now facing Kaiya, a pleasant human female elder, the sound of auntie's scream made her laugh. Kaiya felt warm in her heart.

"Ah, what two lovely little girls."

Although humans and goblins have different aesthetic values, Kaiya has been in Mansha City for twenty years and has already integrated into the culture of Mansha Wilderness. She can recognize the two little goblins Kerr and Irene at a glance. Her appearance is outstanding among the goblins, especially Eileen. Her pair of dark pupils shine with pure eyes in her big eyes, like two black pearls without any impurities, which makes people look at her at first sight. Then I like it.

"This is a gift from aunt, I hope you like it."

Following human custom, Kaiya took out two things from her arms when facing two cute goblin female teenagers: a dagger with exquisite and complicated carvings, and a small and exquisite hand crossbow, no more than the size of a palm.

The objects on the adventurers were basically battle-related. Kaiya didn’t prepare any gifts this time, so he could only use some of the small tools he usually used as gifts and gave them to the two female goblins, and then he didn’t forget them when he raised his head. He glared at Allen.

Kerr and Irene were not polite. While expressing their gratitude to Kaiya, Kerr took the dagger and Irene picked up the hand crossbow. After they rubbed each other lovingly, they put them away. Then, the two of them took over Allen's work and began to greet the guests who came here to try something new.

"Have you thought about the next mission you want to take on?"

Kaiya came back to see Allen this time. Firstly, it was to reminisce about old times and connect with each other. Secondly, Kaiya was interested in a task and needed several collaborators, so she came to see if Allen was interested. At this time, Kaiya seemed casual, but actually peeked at Allen's face from the corner of her eye and asked softly.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I just came to Mansha City not long ago and I don't understand many things. My previous task was mainly to accompany the younger members of the clan and lead them to experience."

With Kerr and the others looking at the stalls, Allen could take some time off and walk with Kaiya on the quietest and somewhat deserted road.

Allen shook his head. He himself was actually worried about this. There were many tasks in the temple and the government affairs hall. Some of the tasks seemed to have good goals but provided very little information. However, Allen, who lacked intelligence sources, could not do anything. Just try your luck and wander around in the middle of nowhere.

It's impossible for Allen to really stay in Mansha City all the time for training. Green Lake Village is too far away from Mansha City. Although it's a bit peaceful now, Allen still can't leave the tribe for a long time.

"I have a task on hand. I wonder if you are interested in it?"

Kaiya felt happy when she heard this, and then looked at Allen with an inviting tone.

"What mission?"

Allen looked up, his eyes a little warmer.

Kaiya's strength is not bad. After all these years, she must have reached the threshold of level 15 like herself. It makes even Kaiya find it difficult and requires him to be a helper, which shows that the task is indeed a bit challenging.

"Chasing an assassination team of followers of the evil god."

Kaiya didn't hesitate. Seeing Allen's interest, she told Allen the mission target on the spot. At the same time, she didn't forget to tell Allen some information about the mission.

"According to the current information, this assassination team consists of a high-level evil priest, two assassin demons, 2 fallen paladins, and 2 high-level rangers."

"They have been wandering around in the wilderness these days, attacking and assassinating the leaders of several medium-sized tribes in the wilderness."

"The City Guards gave me a generous reward: 2 ordinary inheritance crystals, or two high-level magic equipment."

"How's it going? Are you interested?"

Kaiya looked at Allen with expectant eyes.

"..."

Allen frowned, feeling a little moved, but also worried.

There must be many competitors for a mission with rich rewards, and looking at the configuration of the mission target team, it is not easy to deal with them. He and Kaiya alone may not be each other's opponents.

"Is it just the two of us?"

Allen looked up and asked.

"Didn't I hear that you came to Mansha City and I thought of you first? If you are willing to act together, I will bring two more friends in and we can act."

"……it is good."

Allen nodded and agreed simply. Allen still had some trust in Kaiya, an acquaintance who had dealt with him before.

Kaiya has been in Mansha City longer than Allen and has better intelligence. Since even the other party is attracted to her, it means that this task is indeed worth doing. Allen doesn't mind continuing to cooperate with Kaiya.

"When you contact other teammates, come find me again."

"No problem, it's settled!"

Kaiya's round face was full of smiles, and after eating another bowl of noodles at Allen's stall, she went home with satisfaction.

Also because of Kaiya's invitation, Allen had no interest in continuing to run the noodle stall for the time being. After setting up the stall, he asked Kerr and the others to run it, while he planned to visit the merchants in the city to see what was available. Worth purchasing.

The opening of the noodle stall was not only to pave the way for opening a noodle restaurant in the village, but what Alan actually wanted more than that was to allow teenagers like Kerr to interact with all kinds of people through the small business of the noodle stall. Let Kerr and the others grow up.

When Allen opened his own noodle stall, he made a lot of jokes in the early days and did not know how to shout, communicate, etc. However, after getting familiar with these things, Allen actually learned a lot, such as his I have a thicker skin and can better understand the mood changes of my guests, etc.

Before Allen was ready, Kaiya brought her selected companions to meet Allen. This meeting immediately caused Allen's noodle stall to spend a lot of money, because the partners Kaiya found were basically people he knew.

Alba was originally the commander of the city guard. Later, when his term ended, he returned to the tribe and lived for a while. He was really not used to the life in the wilderness, so he simply went on the road alone and ran to the Manchurian Village. He became an adventurer in Shacheng.

This is a common headache for wilderness tribes. When the cohesion of the tribe is not enough for a tribesman to fight for it willingly, after living in the tribe, how should the leader control this group of tribesmen who want to leave.

Most tribes will use tough and ruthless methods to intimidate ordinary members of the tribe. If they cannot be intimidated, they will either make up random reasons and knock the other party down from the bottom of the tribe, or even treat them as slaves, or they will It means depriving the other party of all his wealth, beating him to death and expelling him from the tribe.

For those who are capable and talented, most of them will sign a magic contract with the other party, agree on each other's rights and obligations, etc., and use various interests and contracts to bind the other party so that the other party can be used by the tribe.

Like Alba, who has now reached the peak of level 15, it is no longer of much use to just rely on slowly polishing and tempering his strength in tribal towns. In order to have a better chance of being promoted to a legend, his tribal leader readily agreed when Alba proposed to travel in the wilderness, and provided Alba with a large sum of money.

Of course, before going out to travel and explore, Alba had already signed a contract with the tribal leaders and elders, promising to return to the tribe in ten years. If Alba had not advanced to Legend at that time, there would be basically no possibility of further advancement, and he could just return to the tribe and contribute his final strength.

Richard, a human mage from the land of ice and snow, had not seen each other for more than ten years. He still had long flowing hair, and the snow-white robe on his body had no other decorations except for the complicated patterns made of faint silver threads.

Albian, a high-level assassin from the Elf Kingdom, even if he had a smile on his face, it would make people feel chilly. That handsome face could not hide his sinister temperament under the cool sun in this wilderness.

"..."

Allen had no idea that the partners Kaiya found this time were all people he knew, and it was such a coincidence that everyone was staying in Mansha City at the same time.

In fact, what Allen didn't know was that this task, which was hung in the government affairs hall, had long since become fat in the eyes of many adventure groups and loners. However, limited by each other's strength and the search for collaborators, only a few people have set out to track each other's whereabouts.

Guys like Albian, Alba, and Richard all have one thing in common, that is, they are all loners. Most loners have one thing in common, that is, they have extremely high requirements for partners. Guys without any strength who walk on the path of lone adventurers will either die from the target's weapons or starve to death. In the wilderness.

It is not easy for Albian and others to find a cooperative team that agrees with each other, so they are still staying in Mansha City.

Kaiya has actually been cooperating with Alba, an ogre, during this period. As a ranger who uses a longbow as his main weapon, Kaiya needs a human shield warrior who can stand in front, and Alba happens to be such an excellent person. of collaborators.

As for Richard, as a mage, he naturally has no shortage of teams to come to him for cooperation, but for him, if he wants to find a team to cooperate with, he must at least be someone who is extremely confident that he can complete the task. Among the existing collaborators, either the other party has too many adventurers, so even if the task is completed, Richard will not get much benefit; or the other party is not strong enough, and although there is a chance to complete the task, But there is also a small chance of failure.

"I never imagined that we would all come together for one mission."

Richard looked at Allen, the bugbear, whose face had not changed much, and smiled warmly. Allen's appearance hasn't changed much, but his temperament and eyes have changed a lot. Once you get there, you can't ignore it.

"Yes."

The Albian was quiet, hiding behind the tall Alba and avoiding the sight of those around him.

On the other side, the much larger ogre Alba smiled innocently at Allen, then took out a few hot buns from the steamer of Allen's stall, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them carefully. , even his eyes narrowed.

"So, we have reached an agreement and we are all cooperating to take on this task?"

Kaiya raised her head, glanced at the people around her, and asked something unnecessary.

"of course."

"it is good."

Several people nodded.

Many times, reaching a consensus is just a simple matter, but it is also possible that there is something not simple hidden behind this simple choice.

　I'm stuck, let me wipe it! ! !

　　I want to introduce a major world event with ups and downs, but this introduction has stuck with me for a long time, and I am still not very satisfied! ! !
