Quadruple split

Game time PM14:35

Anka Market, Adventurer's Guild 1st Floor Hall

"In other words, you did complete the mission without causing any accidents?"

Chris Clotide yawned lazily, playing with his nails absentmindedly while squinting at the four people standing opposite the counter: "There was no trouble for unrelated people, no accident, no explosion, not even that A store full of dangerous goods is still intact, right?”

Mo Tan, who had just completed the mission report, nodded: "Yes, that's true."

Yaya and Jadeka, who were standing on both sides of him, did not speak. The former was twitching his little nose and curiously sniffing left and right, while the latter held his chest and raised his chin, stroking his fingers every few seconds. As soon as he stroked his big white beard, he was filled with a strange sense of pride from the inside out.

Not to mention Yaya's daily cuteness, Mr. Jadekar's behavior at this moment is absolutely understandable. Apart from the nonsense task of "picking up stones from the ruins of Underhill", this is his first time. Wrong, that is, the mission was successfully completed for the first time without causing any casualties.

[I always feel a little pitiful...]

Ji Xiaoge, who was standing next to Yaya, glanced at the old mage secretly, and couldn't help but remember the joy he felt when he made the first time he could taste the food (Ji Xiaodao dialect), and secretly let out a sigh of empathy.

"Tch, I was expecting you to teach those two brothers a lesson, like blowing up half the store or something, but nothing unexpected happened. It was all in vain." Miss Chris muttered something in a low voice, and then Reluctantly, he opened the booklet at hand, signed one of the footnotes with a colorful feather pen, and then pushed it in front of Mo Tan: "Sign it, in fact, the little mage before you came here He already secretly came to us to explain it, and I just checked it again."

Mo Tan, who pretended not to hear the little sister's whisper just now, nodded slightly, picked up the quill and signed his name on the part of task 14213 that had been marked as 'completed'.

[Your team has completed the E-level adventurer mission: No. 14213, gained 100 optional experience points, and the reputation of the Adventurer Guild +20]

The next second, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the two players.

"Okay, now that I have completed my personal review, I will temporarily exclude you from the blacklist, but..."

Chris took the pamphlet that Mo Tan handed back, his blue eyes flashing with warning and threats: "If there is any trouble again, I promise that I will tear up your adventurer's manual with my own hands and force you again." Replace it at a hundred times the price! Then tear it up! Do it again! Tear it up again! Do it again! Do you understand!?"

"Listen (woof) I understand..."

Under Chris's momentum, even the new adventurer Ji Xiaoge, who had no bad record, couldn't help but answer along with the other three companions.

Chris glanced at her with a smile, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm not talking about you. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. The main reason is that the lethality of these three scourges is really strong. Hey! Old man, watch out. Your staff!!"

"oh oh."

Jadeka quickly put an ice pack on the staff in his hand that started to emit black smoke again at some point, and then continued to hang his head like a good old man.

Yaya, who had been severely scolded by Chris several times some time ago, also lowered his ears and looked pitifully at the former and let out two flattering sobs.

"Well, sister Chris, I can understand Yaya and Jadeka."

Ji Xiaoge, who knew the virtues of those two people well, stuck out his tongue, then raised his little finger and pointed at Mo Tan, who was also dejected, and asked in a low voice: "Mo shouldn't be the kind of person who would cause trouble, right?"

Chris whistled to the beautiful girl in front of him whom he had a crush on: "My dear, maybe you are right, but 'not causing trouble' does not mean that he is safe. In my opinion, this The half-dragon guy has a particularly troublesome quality, which is even more troublesome than the other two."

Ji Xiaoge tilted his head in confusion: "Eh?"

Yaya's ears trembled: "Woof?"

Hearing this, Jadeka also turned around and looked at Mo Tan: "So, what qualities do you have?"

"Uh, I don't know either..."

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, looked at Chris in confusion with his companions, and said very politely: "If you are willing to tell me, I will try my best to correct it."

Ji Xiaoge smacked her lips. She really couldn't figure out what bad qualities Mo Tan had in such a good person.

[Is it some kind of unknown dark side? For example, have you ever peeked under someone's skirt before? Well, it shouldn't be. He didn't react much when I didn't wear headgear before. Is it just because of system limitations...]

The girl began to have random thoughts.

But her idea was obviously wrong...

"It can't be changed." Chris shook his head and said seriously: "At least I personally think that your characteristics that continue to attract troublesome people cannot be changed."

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Think about it, you were entangled with this girl when you first came to the city." Chris stuffed a big bone he took out from nowhere into Yaya's mouth, while gently scratching the girl's animal ears. While saying leisurely: "It turns out that she is a little freak who is extremely lacking in common sense, can't even speak common language, and will tear down the house at the slightest provocation."

Mo Tan: "..."

Yaya gnawed on the bone intently.

"Then there's this old guy who likes to blow himself up." Chris pointed at Jadeka again and shrugged to Mo Tan: "He is already famous in our area. To be honest, no matter whether he is a junior adventurer Regardless of whether he is a low-level mage, it is difficult for both of them to become famous in Anka Market where there are many experts. In the end, this old man succeeded in doing it. Although there was a very special process of cheating, he still did it. Here we are, and you are the only one who knows the ins and outs of this guy and dares to team up with him."

Mo Tan: "..."

Jadka turned his face aside and began to whistle.

"Finally, after these two guys leave you and act alone..."

Chris sighed and looked at Mo Tan resentfully: "That night, a dragon attacked the farm you were helping to rebuild. I heard that there was a strong man of unknown race with you at that time, and then you two turned out to be very special. Meow was kidnapped by a dragon! Do you know how much the farmer cried when he woke up the next day and found himself in a messy farm!? Is your kid the reincarnation of an evil star!?"

Mo Tan was speechless: "..."

Ji Xiaoge kindly whispered to the side: "Maybe it's just a coincidence? Miss, don't you think I'm quite normal?"

At this moment, Mo Tan suddenly found himself even more speechless!

"Well, although you are indeed quite normal." Chris waved his hand absentmindedly and snorted: "But people in our industry believe this. After all, many things are really illogical. For example, I know A ranger nicknamed the Shipwreck Emperor, although his skills are quite good, as long as it is a ship he has been on, no matter it is in the river, sea, or sky, whether it is a merchant ship, a cruise ship, or an airship, do you know that nine out of ten ships will sink? A truth."

Ji Xiaoge nodded in understanding, and then thought of the android Cordoba whom he knew because of Mo Tan, and Lu Jiang, who can turn into a slime and is both male and female, neither male nor female. , suddenly found that he seemed to understand something.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Miss Chris stretched out, then picked up the work magic crystal board here and quickly scratched it a few times, and waved to Mo Tan: "Then as agreed in advance, you can now be normal. Got the mission, come on, take the mission number 54250."

"Huh?" Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "If we can receive the mission normally, we can just find a mission that we think is suitable, right?"

The young lady scratched her hair in distress: "Ah~ although in principle this is correct, but..."

Yaya, who had just finished chewing the big bone, blinked: "Wang?"

"But I think this task is very suitable for you~~~"

Chris tapped his white chin with his index finger, blinked at everyone three times per second and said, "Are you okay?"

Mo Tan's head was full of black lines: "Well, please explain the situation first..."

"Okay." Chris put away the pitiful expression just now, and said quickly: "Two hours ago, three trainee alchemists went to the north to collect thick-shell mushrooms, but Maruga Lin said A nearby harpy attacks.”

Mo Tan frowned: "Harpy?"

The young lady nodded vigorously: "Yes, harpies, there are many their nests around here."

"But why did they attack those trainee alchemists?" Jadeka tugged at a strand of beard in confusion and asked in confusion: "I remember that the harpies should be a relatively gentle race. They Will you attack others for no reason?"

Chris laughed dryly: "You can't say it's for no reason..."

Mo Tan and others looked at her in confusion.

"To put it simply, they are those unruly birdmen... uh, sorry sister Yege, I'm not talking about you."

The young lady sneered and apologized to Ji Xiaoge for shooting for no reason, then shrugged and said, "Those harpies have taken a liking to one of the handsome young men and want to capture him for mating."

【What to pay! ? 】

Several people, including the well-informed Jadeka, were shocked.

"Ahem, it's not like this doesn't happen, but it's really rare." Chris rubbed his forehead sadly and sighed: "The two girls escaped unscathed. Even the Alchemist Association When I didn’t reply, I came here directly to send out a mission to save people, but I wasn’t there at the time, and the person in charge was a newbie who didn’t have a good brain..."

Mo Tan seemed to have a premonition of some kind of deception unfolding, but he couldn't help but ask: "Then what?"

Then something happened. Chris said with great trepidation that the young man who had just joined the job a few days ago marked this emergency search and rescue mission that was obviously available to multiple parties into an independent mission that could only be received by one person or a team. And I accidentally let a very bad guy collect it.

"I seriously doubt the ability of that scourge, but now no one else can take on that task. No one is willing to work in vain. If we make temporary changes here, it will not be fair to the recipient of the task. In addition, this time The victim probably won’t die. At most, he’ll just be beaten to something, and then something, something else, something else, so…”

Chris looked at Mo Tan and others pitifully, and then asked in an even more pitiful tone: "Can you let me quietly add the guy who received the mission to your adventurer team, and then you can go and help me?" Busy? Before things get worse."

Jadeka coughed lightly and whispered: "Isn't this not in line with the rules?"

Chris replied in a lower voice: "If you don't tell, I won't tell, no one will know... Because it's about performance, so please! If you get it done, can you count it as completing a D-level mission?"

Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and Jadeka communicated silently with their eyes.

The reason why Yaya was not included is because the girl was already lying on the counter and snoring softly...

a moment later

"Okay, we agreed."

Mo Tan, who got the answer from his companion's eyes (and the message), smiled, then nodded to Chris: "Just do as you say."

"Thank you!"

The latter was so moved that he grabbed Mo Tan's hand and shook it, and then quickly performed the secret operation while whispering: "Although you guys are not very reliable, at least you are much better than that guy. So please do everything, please do everything!”

Mo Tan/Jadeka/Ji Xiaoge: "..."

…

Half an hour later, game time PM15:14

The four of them, Mo Tan, left the Maruga Forest Road and set foot on the path leading to the Harpy Tribe.

However, although it is called a 'trail', there is actually no 'road' here. It is just that the plants are slightly sparse. After all, harpies do not use their legs to walk most of the time, and there are not many people there. I like to visit this dense forest with nothing to do.

"Woof, this way!"

Yaya, who was walking at the front as a scout, paused, then turned his head and waved vigorously at the three of them: "I found something wrong!"

The few people walking behind quickly rushed over and saw a large area of ​​very obvious scorch marks and two large footprints where Yaya was standing. The surrounding plants were also wilted, which could indeed be said to be very abnormal.

"Are they signs of resistance or fighting..."

Mo Tan murmured in a low voice, and then heard a sharp scream from not far away!

"Help!!!"

Everyone was shocked.

Ji Xiaoge stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Is it the alchemist who was captured or the guy who came here to save people just now? Could it be that they were given to by those harpies..."

Bang!

A tall woman with brown wings, eagle claws below her calves, and two long feathers dotted on her forehead suddenly landed in front of the four of them.

Mo Tan and others: "..."

The creature that looked like a harpy struggled to raise its head, and murmured with an ashen face: "Help... help."

"Hey! What's wrong with you? What's going on!?"

"I...I don't taste good..."

"Hey! Wake up, hey!!"
