Artificer Adventure Guide

"I wonder why there are so many wild boars coming out this year! It must be some undead being born in the forest!"

"Stop looking for compensation here! When we discussed increasing the mission reward, you said you would rather die than pay!"

Soon after the old man recovered from his injury and left on a tall horse, several farmers from the surrounding area rushed to his house.

A group of old men were in a mess, blaming each other, making people wonder if there was an end.

"This little brother said we should talk to the lord, but I still want to ask your opinion on this matter."

After taking a puff of his pipe, the old man at the beginning spoke with a sad expression.

There is a saying: If you are hesitating between two options, choose the second option. Because you did not choose the first option, it must be because you are not firm enough about the first option.

After listening to the old man's words, the voices of several other people suddenly lowered their voices.

"Well, little brother, how about not asking the lord? Here, once they come, this year's harvest will be..."

At this time, Karl remembered that the nobles of Aundair were not the kind with ideals and responsibilities. If Queen Aundair hadn't been suppressing them, their taxes would have been collected ninety years later.

Wasn't this how Eluden was forced to become independent?

Nodding clearly, Karl replied: "Of course it's okay not to look for the lord, but I suspect that there are guys with emerald claws lurking in the forest to the east. To tell you the truth, my hometown was there years ago..."

After telling these old men what happened in Hongye Township, the people who were originally extremely resistant to the lord were a little shaken.

But at this moment, Karl changed the topic.

"In fact, you can continue to entrust the Adventurers Association. If any dangerous beasts or monsters appear in the nearby area, the Adventurers Association is obliged to help."

"Ah? Really? Then let's go!"

"You two, do your best, and we will definitely give you generous rewards when the time comes!"

Carrying the cakes drawn by a group of old men, Karl and Lisanna went to the forest where wild boars were rife.

"Hehe! This mission might make him a lot of money! My wallet will definitely be bulging by then!"

Walking in the forest, Lisanna felt as leisurely as if she had returned home.

"Although I really don't want to hurt you, you'd better not take those people's words too seriously. The reason why I kindly reminded them is to prevent people with emerald claws from hiding in this forest. What they said, Basically, it’s a lie to children.”

No matter which world they are in, adults always have an inexplicable sense of confidence when facing people younger than themselves.

They will feel that the other person has little life experience, so they are always "playing tricks" in certain places.

And the older people who have worked hard all their lives, the more they like to care about money.

There are some truly simple and humble old people, but they are very few.

While he was imparting his experience to Lisanna, there was a sudden noise in the bushes in the distance.

Karl quickly protected Lisanna behind him, and Lisanna took out the new revolver Karl made for her and opened the safety.

The deep forest suddenly became quiet, and the surrounding birds no longer made any sound.

At this moment, with a "snort" sound, a wild boar that was at least 1.6 meters tall jumped out.

Two yellowed fangs were swinging wildly on a body weighing at least 400 kilograms.

"Bang bang bang..."

Almost as soon as it appeared, Lisanna hid behind Karl and fired.

However, the reason why wild boars can run rampant in the forest depends on their thick skin.

Although the bullet transformed by magic power hit the wild boar, it did not cause fatal injuries to it.

On the contrary, under the stimulation of pain, the beast sprinted faster.

"V!"

Seeing that the wild boar was approaching, Karl controlled V and activated the freezing ray.

Two bowl-sized beams of blue-white energy flew out and hit the wild boar's head and mouth respectively.

White frost instantly covered the wild boar's front face, blocking its sight.

Karl took Lisanna and dodged to the side. The poor wild boar hit a big tree that required at least three people to hug it.

The two fangs were stuck directly into the tree trunk and could not be pulled out.

Upon seeing this, Lisanna happily took out her sniper rifle and shot directly at the wild boar's spine.

The smelly blood sprayed out, and the wild boar died on the spot.

"Its fangs seem to have been eroded by some kind of negative energy. It seems like something happened in this forest."

Pulling the wild boar's head off the trunk, Lisanna touched the yellowed tusks, becoming more certain about Karl's guess.

But just when Lisanna was about to interrupt the wild boar's tusk and take it away, she saw Karl taking out a grain sampler from his backpack.

Under Lisanna's puzzled gaze, Karl thrust the thing directly into the wild boar's carotid artery.

Blood flowed out from the grain sampler.

When the blood was almost gone, Karl directly opened the opening of the backpack and put the wild boar inside.

Seeing Lisanna looking at him with shock, Karl explained:

"There are a few fellow rangers who live too frugally. Taking these things back can be regarded as a toothpaste for them."

Uncastrated wild boar does not taste good, but it is meat anyway.

Lisana nodded, then quickly climbed up the tree next to her and acted as a scout.

"Brother Carl! We found the target in the west! It looks like two wild boars. Do you want to go over?"

"Just snipe if you can find them! I'll support you on the ground."

"Okay!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, and Lisana pulled the vines on the tree and moved towards the two wild boars that were shot dead.

Carl moved on the ground, guarding against enemies that might appear at any time.

This mode of cooperation is almost unsolvable for wild boars that lack wisdom.

Throughout the morning, the two used this tactic to kill thirteen wild boars.

As the two continued to go deeper into the forest, the negative energy became more and more intense.

"Huff!"

In the shadows, there was another sound from a wild boar.

Carl and Lisana, who had already been skilled, were about to find it out and kill it, but suddenly felt that the air temperature around them had dropped.

In the deep shadows of the forest, two blue flames lit up.

Just as Lisanna was curious about what it was, a huge skeleton boar with only bones left and a blue soul fire flashing in its skull slowly walked out.

Behind it, several pale-haired and skinny boars followed it, which looked like the undead type of mummies.

"Good fellow, we encountered a hidden BOSS! V!"

Calling loudly to his steel guard, Carl gave orders to him while rushing towards the undead boar.

V took out the shield axe from his backpack and threw it to Carl.

As soon as he got the weapon, Carl split it into a shield and a long sword, and the undead boar on the opposite side also ran in the woods, aiming at Carl who was holding a shield and rushing forward.

"Bang!"

The two sides collided with each other, and the dull sound echoed in the forest.
