Night Raven Master

Chapter 24 Bard Baruto

"I'm Rat." Art reported his fake name, although there was only a slight difference in pronunciation.

"I'm glad to meet you." Baruto smiled, and then looked at his harp, "You're actually carrying a harp, but it looks like it's not in very good condition."

The middle-aged bard's words were very euphemistic.

"Yes, I encountered some accidents." Art shook his head, and raised his left hand holding Glora, "Not only the harp, but my partner was also injured."

"Oh, that's really unfortunate." Baruto looked at the black crow, met the pair of dark eyes, and then asked with some doubts, "Monster?"

Only monsters can bite a black crow. Ordinary beasts, only raptors like eagles can cause harm to this clever and cunning bird.

"Yes." Art had an "unfortunate" expression on his face, "A red crow, if I hadn't met a group of mercenaries, I might have died in its mouth too."

"Red crow!?" On the table next to him, a drinker stood up abruptly and walked to Art's side, "Are you sure!?"

"Yes, yes, sir." Art nodded "pretending to be calm", "A bloody crow, bigger than my partner."

"Blood crow! Is it near the Forest of Melancholy!?" The man wearing a long sword and leather armor asked Yate with an ugly face.

"Yes." Art replied, he originally wanted to inquire about the Forest of Melancholy, and it seemed that he had a door.

Others also noticed what was going on here, and several men also came over.

These people are also wearing leather armor and carrying weapons. It seems that they should be guards or soldiers.

"What's wrong? Os?"

"Blood crow! The bard said that he met a blood crow!" Oss looked serious.

"My God! How come!?"

"Is it time already!?"

"How could it be so fast? It's only been eight years now, isn't it only once in 30 years!?"

"No, the "bitter winter" happens once every 30 years, and the Forest of Melancholy happens every 15 years."

The men began to discuss with ugly faces, and the man named Oss asked a few more questions, and Art also answered "truthfully".

Although not all the truth, but a few key content is true.

"The Forest of Melancholy." "I met a blood crow." "The mercenary team going to the Forest of Melancholy." "A large piece of red."

And these key information also made these people who should be guards or soldiers look dignified. After several confirmations, they left the tavern directly.

"Who are these people?" After they left, Art asked Baruto aloud.

Touching the mustache, Baruto replied, "It should be the village guard here."

"should?"

Baruto spread his hands: "I came here two days ago, I don't know too well."

"By the way, is it safe here?"

"It's safe." A voice came from the side, it was the proprietress Gretha, "In my tavern, you won't meet those guys who like to have dirty hands and feet. If you go to the west of the village, you may Not necessarily."

After putting down the plate containing the barbecue and a glass of dark malt wine, Gretha continued: "Although this is only a village in name, the development here is still very good because of the protection of the military camp not far from the village. Because if the knight master is not a baron, now this place should be called 'Melenco Town' instead of 'Melenco Village'."

Arthur nodded. When he entered this village, he found that this village was bigger than the villages he had "seen". Compared with Ferro Town and Syndira Town, it felt only small. point.

"By the way, Ms. Gretha." Art took out another barbecue and ale, "Please have another barbecue and ale for my new friend Baruto."

"What a generous young man." Gretha held the money with a smile and turned to leave.

"Oh, you are so generous!" Baruto didn't expect that the colleague he just met would be so generous and even treat himself to dinner. He was worried that the other party would steal his business, so he was a little wary.

After all, these bards are not professional "bards", but ordinary music lovers, and those who rely on this for food, if they have to say it, they should be called "bards" or "singers", Everywhere they go, they need to show their talents and get some rewards from generous people, and then they have the opportunity to be hired by local nobles or businessmen to perform.

If it was in the wild, would they rather meet their peers, in a town or village?Forget it, at this time, colleagues will not be welcomed.

Not only did he think so, but the other party should also think so, but the other party's generosity was beyond his expectation.

Or, before coming here, he performed for some nobleman or merchant and won a large reward?

In just a short moment, thoughts flashed through Baruto's heart.

Still, he had a genuine smile on his face, and anyone would be glad to have a generous friend.

Yate looked at the other party's smile and smiled in his heart.

If it's in the game, there should be a [Bard Baruto's favorability up! ] and other hints.

Try to make friends with NPCs and discover tasks, which are the basic skills that an experienced RPG player should have.

There are two types of bards.

One is professionals, who have extraordinary power. This kind of "bard" originated from a foreign race - the elves.

It is the kind of elves with beautiful pointed ears. Those elves are favored by nature, relying on their strong elemental affinity, they can release natural spells directly by relying on their spiritual power. The system of "psychic spells" is different.

Wizards rely on the power of blood to convert spiritual power into psionic energy, and release spells based on psionic energy.

The elves, relying on their natural bloodlines, gather elements in the environment to cast "natural spells". However, natural spells can only be released by relying on the environment. If there is water all around, then they can only cast water elemental natural spells. Spells, and wizards' psionic spells can release flames even if they are surrounded by water, but they can't attract enough fire elements to increase the power of the spells, and they still have a certain power.

Bard is a profession developed by elves. These elf bards can resonate with elements through musical instruments or singing, and thus cast natural spells.

In ancient times, the war among humans, alien races, and monsters ended in the victory of human beings. After defeating the alien races, many elf slaves lived in human society.

It is precisely because of this that among human beings, many people have elven blood, and through elven blood, they can cast natural spells.

This is the first type, the professional "bard".

The other type is ordinary people, simply put, they are singers.

They are descendants of nobles who are not considered nobles from the lower nobles, most of whom are knights, because their own strength is not strong, and their chances of giving birth to descendants are higher than those of the upper nobles. Let them have many illegitimate children.

These heirs, if they can awaken their psionic powers, that's all. If they can't awaken their psionic powers, they will basically not be recognized, and they don't even have the chance to become the servants of the nobles. However, their lives will be better than the children of common people , will also receive some education.

These people are part of the community of bards.

There are also some people from the lower classes of merchants or civilian families. They are all educated, at least literate, and understand some music theory. They have traveled around.

Therefore, they can be said to be the most well-informed group of people, and those mercenaries and even nobles may not be as well-informed as them.

Of course, because bards like to beautify and exaggerate the professional habit of stories, although the information they come out of their mouths has a certain degree of authenticity, they cannot be taken completely seriously.

After playing so many medieval games, he is quite familiar with the group of bards. In addition to guest mercenaries and adventurers, he also often plays guest bards.

Although the background of the world is different, this group of people is also more real.

Yate also intends to pry some information from Baruto's mouth.

When Gretha served the barbecue and malt wine again, Baruto's flaxen eyes lit up completely, and he looked at Art with a little more friendliness.

"I'm planning to go to Serra County recently." Yate looked "joyed", as if he was completely unaffected by the monster attack not long ago, "I heard it's very good there!"

"Sierra County!?" Baruto was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Lat, I advise you not to go there, you know, there has been friction between Serra County and Ludi County recently, and they almost fought Woke up."

"Fight?" Art showed curiosity just right, and this performance satisfied Baruto's desire to show his knowledge.

He raised his head, looked left and right, and said, "You should know that His Excellency Earl Glora only has one daughter, right?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Yate nodded, most people knew this.

"That lady's name?" Baruto raised his eyebrows pretending to be mysterious, "Do you know?"

Alti Serra Glora.

Yate said in his heart, but on his face he made a look that he couldn't remember.

"Haha, I knew you didn't know." Baruto raised his mustache, looking very proud.

Seeing Yate's "curious" appearance, he said with a smile——
