Ryan's Sword

Chapter 60 No.60 Rumors
"Hey, little brother, let's meet again."

Just when Ian was about to find a place to rest, a rather familiar voice came from behind. Ian turned around and saw a rather familiar tall and thin adventurer walking towards him with a smile on his face. .

"Are you... Renekton?"

Ian recalled the tall and thin adventurer who had invited him before, but he did not expect that he would run into this strange-looking adventurer just after he arrived at the forest camp.

As for where the weirdness is, Ian at this time can't tell.

"I didn't expect, little brother, you still remember my name!" The tall and thin man seemed very happy when Ian called out his name. He rubbed his big hands and said with a smile: "Our solo team has just arrived at the camp. I’m preparing to light a fire to roast some wild game.” He pointed to not far away, where three of his teammates were building a bonfire and a grill, and beside them were several skinned and washed prey carcasses wrapped in wide leaves .

"We hunted a litter of gray-haired wild rabbits on the road. Since we met again by such a coincidence, would you like to come over and try something new together?"

Looking at the attentive eyes of the other party, Ian didn't think much except lamenting his persistence.It seemed that this tall and thin adventurer named Renekton hadn't found a suitable teammate, otherwise, his solo team wouldn't have maintained the original size of four people.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a team."

Ian shook his head and declined the other party's kindness, and told Renekton that he had joined the guild's adventure group.

The tall and thin Renekton didn't try to persuade him when he was rejected for the second time. The two bid farewell to each other and left in different directions.

"How do you say, failed again?" Renekton returned to the bonfire where the three teammates were busy raising, and the lone wolf poked his head over and asked: "We deliberately brought good ingredients to invite him to taste and refused to come, see Wake up, that kid is quite vigilant?"

Renekton glanced at him, and didn't want to pay attention to this shield warrior who had been at odds with him all this time, but seeing Captain Gust also cast the same puzzled look, he could only say in a deep voice: "The black fox is right. , He admitted that he joined the union's adventure group, and it seems that he will not agree to form a team with us."

"It's okay," Gust nodded, stretched out his hand to roast on top of the crackling bonfire, and said calmly, "Let's have dinner first, and we will act according to the plan later." Obviously, the black-haired young man was already aware of this situation. Expected.

The other three looked at each other and nodded, and immediately accelerated the action at hand.

With the last twilight of the sky, the holy day sinks into the end where the western world connects with the earth, and then the night covers the whole world.

In the forest, the forest camp at this time has expanded a lot compared to before. At least the adventurers who arrived today have found a place of their own.Large and small bonfires were lit in various parts of the camp, and the food brought by the adventurers and the game they brought along the way were scented everywhere along the firelight.

Just when most of the adventurers filled their hungry stomachs, a small rumor spread in the camp, and it didn't take long for everyone to know it.

"Guys, have you heard?" By a bonfire at the edge of the camp, a soldier in thick leather armor said to his companions: "Just now I heard the brothers on the opposite side discussing that this time the guild formed itself. A large adventure team was formed, ready to take down the entire temple ruins in one fell swoop!"

A hunter sitting opposite the warrior questioned: "Is there such a thing? Since they issued a mission, why did they form a large adventure group?"

"Yeah, I've heard that too." Between the two of them, a soldier who had just sat down also joined the discussion, "It is said that the large group of people who arrived in the evening consisted of veterans from the peak of the White Rank and above the Iron Rank. A guild adventure group composed of those who participated!"

Soon, the entire camp was discussing the guild adventure group.However, it didn't take long for this heated discussion to reach a conclusion that shocked all adventurers.

By a bonfire, two adventurers who just met were discussing the news of the camp's popularity.

One of the older adventurers couldn't help but exclaimed after listening to the new friend's discussion: "What are you talking about? The guild didn't even want to give us rewards? How is this possible!" This warrior has already ventured in Louisburg The Hunters Guild has completed more than a dozen field adventures, even among white-level adventurers, they are considered veterans. When he first heard such news, he immediately denied it, but then he became unconfident.

"Don't you know?" His new friend was carrying an oaken round shield with iron plates on his back. He had brown hair, a moderate build, and strong muscles. He revealed with a mysterious face at this time: "Listen, I will give you By the way, after we took over the mission and set off for the first time today, the guild has recruited senior adventurers to join their team. It is said that they have gathered [-] senior adventurers, and they will enter the ruins of the temple early tomorrow morning Start exploring. Think about it, such a team has entered the ruins, what do we need our small team and solo adventurers to do? Follow them and eat ashes?"

"No, no way, brother..." The older soldier swallowed hard, "According to what you said, then our group of people rushed here as soon as we received the mission, and even did a day of physical work. What exactly is it trying to figure out!"

"Who knows!"

Seeing that the older warrior was feeling dissatisfied, the burly shield warrior secretly showed a triumphant smile, and then said seriously: "Brother, think about it first, I still have a few friends over there, I have to tell them the news quickly!"

"All right, all right, then go and get..."

Saying that, the burly shield warrior stood up, sighed twice, and walked away quickly.

Scenes of similar scenes continue to be played out in different versions in the forest camp, but at the root, all the news that came out pointed the finger at the unaware Adventurer's Guild——

The guild wants to monopolize the benefits of the ruins, but so many lone mercenaries and adventurer teams are just pawns tricked by the guild to explore the way and coolies to build the camp!

Such rumors and rumors intensified, and soon, the adventurers in the camp were already excited without anyone secretly helping the flames.

"Go, ask the guild for an explanation!"

"Yes, let's go together and ask them for an explanation!"

"Go together, go together!"

On the edge of the camp, Ian, like other members of the adventure group, stared dumbfounded at the originally harmonious and bustling forest camp inexplicably performing a "poor adventurer's paycheck".Looking at the momentum, most of the solo adventurers and some adventure teams joined together, three circles inside and three circles outside, and the temporary hall of the newly established guild was completely surrounded.

"What... is this play?"

Ian couldn't help but stood up from the bonfire, and looked towards the temporary guild hall like the scene of the accident.To put it bluntly, the hall is just a temporary forest cabin built with logs and boards felled nearby. It is surrounded by dozens or hundreds of adventurers above the white rank, and it seems a bit shaky!
"What happened!"

A familiar exclamation sounded not far behind Ian, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was the voice of Lilith with the golden ponytail.

Originally, Lilith was wondering whether to confess her choice to Ian, and she walked near him unconsciously.And the blond girl who was in deep thought didn't notice the rumors in the camp before, and she didn't realize until the riot suddenly broke out——

What a big deal!

For the Adventurer's Guild run by her father, Lilith has always regarded it as her own home. Now that such a big thing has happened, she is of course very anxious all of a sudden.

"Wait a minute, where are you going..."

With a scent of fragrance blowing by, Ian stepped forward with swift eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the blond girl who was about to rush to the temporary guild hall.

"You let go..." Lilith, who was suddenly held by Ian, was stunned, and then stamped her feet anxiously, "Let go, I have to stop them!!"

"Are you going to stop it? There are so many adventurers around there, what are you going to do to stop it?" Ian was not moved at all, but instead asked repeatedly: "Now the hall is surrounded by groups, you are a girl , how can you get by?"

"I..." The blond girl stared blankly at Ian. The question raised by Ian was spinning in her mind, and every time she wanted to refute it, she found that she couldn't come up with any decent reason at all.

"Okay, don't worry about it."

Ian saw tears welling up in Lilith's eyes, but his eager mood calmed down.Only then did he let go of the blond girl's little hand, and analyzed for her: "Listen to me, although we don't know what happened now, these adventurers are going to make a living in Louisburg after all, so, No matter what they want to do, they dare not, let alone really provoke the guild." He sighed, and then said: "So many people gathered together to gain some benefits related to them, you have to believe The guild managers in the hall, I believe they will handle this matter well." Finally, he concluded: "So, it is useless to be anxious, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

Lilith subconsciously rubbed her painful wrist from Ian's scratch, and nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

"This... so it is said that her tears came out of a hurry, or from pain..."

Ian couldn't help but blush at the blond girl's performance.

Fortunately, no one could see his embarrassment under the darkness of night.
