"There is a kind of sneak away feeling"

"yes"

"That's right, because the others are not here," the witch said playfully in Nangong Long's ear.

……

It was already evening when the two who walked slowly returned to the guild.

"It seems that the solution this time is relatively rough."

After finishing the last stroke of the record, the counter lady looked at Nangong Long with a slightly teasing smile.

"Recently, there have been more such tasks," the supervisor on the side interjected, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Since the demon king was crusaded, the activities of the demon king remnants in various places have become more active.

With the army of the order faction still recovering from the damage, the evil magician is not even trying to hide his whereabouts.

Sneaking into towers, exploring labyrinths, searching caves, etc., the army is not good at these, plus the army (babh) has other tasks, so this kind of task falls to the adventurer.

Of course, the guild would be dissatisfied with this behavior of directly throwing the entrustment over.

Although there are dozens of gold coins for each commission, the danger is also high, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. The conspiracy and methods of the demon king's remnants are not comparable to ordinary monsters.

However, it is impossible to expect the king to increase the remuneration. After all, there are one or two hundred such tasks.

The national treasury is not inexhaustible, and it is impossible to ask for more.

"This is helpless. Once the army is mobilized, even if there is no battle, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. If the army is sent to solve everything, maybe the tax will be increased next year.

The current tax is already very heavy, if it is increased, the dissatisfaction of the people will accumulate more and more, and the country will fall into civil war without the resurrection of the Demon God King."

Nangong Long expounded the facts in a tone without the slightest personal emotion.

"Increasing taxes will really make us rebel," the counter lady muttered softly.

"But, I can't survive anymore, who cares so much?" the Supervisor said helplessly.

"There are still ways to increase the revenue of the treasury. Just focus on the nobles. They can spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy magic scroll collections, which shows that they have made a lot of money.

It depends on whether the king has the courage and courage. Of course, if the plan is not good, the king will be pushed down from the throne by the nobles."

"You really dare to say anything," the supervisor said with a speechless expression.

"Haha, what are you afraid of, they can't do anything to me"

……

"Why doesn't the adventure take me?"

After just drinking a glass of wine, Fairy Archer became a little drunk, put his hand on Nangong Long's shoulder, and said a little dissatisfied.

"Long ears, you are making trouble for no reason," the Taoist miner laughed and mocked.

They were doing other tasks before, so how could they act together with Nangong Long?

"It's up to you, stinky barrel," Elf Archer retorted without showing any weakness.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely call you next time." Nangong Long patted the soft and slender hand of the goblin archer and said.

"Then you remember it!"

Fairy Archer's cheeks flushed from embarrassment, but no one noticed that her cheeks were already flushed from drinking alcohol.

The tavern at night was extremely lively. Apart from Nangong Long and the others, the other adventurers at the wine table were also talking about today's adventures.

The orc waitress was busy shuttling from table to table, and this time of day was her busiest.Although very tired, she liked the lively atmosphere very much.

Chapter 57 The Coming Harvest Festival

Time flies, and autumn enters in the blink of an eye.

Speaking of a strange thing happened recently.

The adventurer sneaks into the lair of the imp, kills the imp, and saves the captured woman, which is a common task.

The strange thing is that the captured woman was not humiliated by the imp.

This is lucky for them, but definitely not normal.With the kid's insidious and selfish character, how could he keep the captives from having fun-.

So there must be an upper species giving orders, and those - women have other uses.

The biggest possibility is to summon a powerful monster as a sacrifice.

"Is there any commission to exterminate the little devil today?"

In order to confirm what he was thinking, Nangong Long asked the lady at the counter.

"no"

The lady at the counter read the order before it was posted on the bulletin board, so she gave an answer quickly.

"Not normal, is it?"

Although the counter lady is not an adventurer, one of her jobs is to listen to the adventurer's narration of the mission, and then carefully record it.

So she has a certain understanding of the habits and actions of various monsters.

Goblins are monsters that make a living by plundering. Except for primitive weapons and props, everything else depends on plundering.They simply don't have the idea of ​​producing their own.

It's autumn now and it's harvest time.The little ghosts didn't come out to snatch things. It was obvious that they were planning something, or more precisely, the black hand behind them was planning something.

"En." Nangong Long nodded in response.

It was useless to worry about the monster, so the counter lady turned the page.

"By the way, that, how should I put it, are you free for the Harvest Festival tomorrow?" The counter lady blushed slightly, and played with her braids with her fingers.

“I am free in the afternoon”

"That's right, actually I have half a day off after my lunch break, can you go shopping with me?" The counter lady fiddled with her fingers shyly, waiting nervously for the other party's answer.

"OK"

……

The Harvest Festival is coming, so most of the topics discussed by the adventurers in the hall revolve around this.

"Why, it took so long to come back?"

Seeing the female knight who said to check the equipment came back, the witch asked.

Who knew that with just a simple sentence, the female knight would turn red in the face.

"...I also have a lot of things to think about."

This seemed to be a cover-up to arouse the witch's interest completely, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and narrow her eyes to stare at the female knight.

Speaking of buying preparations, it is very suspicious. You must know that Nangong Long was in charge of their equipment a long time ago, and they basically would not buy them in weapon stores.

In this way, what the female knight buys is worth thinking about.

Suddenly, the witch's eyes lit up, and she seemed to recall a piece of equipment she had seen in a weapon shop.

It is no different from seeking death when used for adventure, but it is definitely an equipment with overwhelming power on another battlefield.

"Could it be that one?"

"Uh...don't guess, there's nothing, isn't it?"

The female knight frantically denied it, and the witch smiled even more happily.

How can you admit such a shameful thing!Afraid of being discovered, she deliberately sent her back to her room, but in the end she was still seen through by the witch, the female knight thought with a headache.

"What are you talking about?"

Nangong Long, who was approaching here just now, said with a smile.

"what!?"

The blush on the pretty face of the female knight who exclaimed suddenly spread to her neck, and she faltered and couldn't speak.

Although she probably guessed what the female knight wanted to do, the witch had no intention of revealing the mystery.The surprise carefully prepared by the good sisters, the effect will be discounted if it is said.

"It's nothing, let's talk about the festival, that's all"

"Yeah, let's talk about what to wear tomorrow." The silver-haired female boxer added with a smile. She also guessed a bit of the female knight's thoughts, so let's change the topic now.

The half-elf girl on the side was a little confused, but after the witch made a gesture with her eyes, she also agreed.

Not far away, the squad of heavy fighters was also talking about the Harvest Festival, talking and laughing.

Contrary to the lively atmosphere, there was a silent person in the corner, scanning the adventurers in the hall with attempted eyes, as if planning something.

……

Under the starry night sky, three figures shuttled through the forest.

"Hurry up, it's getting dark"

The lively voice of the brave man reached the ears of his companions.

"Don't be in a hurry, we are going to the Temple of the Earth Mother, there must be a place to stay," the sage said calmly.

"Also pay attention to whether there are suspicious people around, it would be best if you can catch them"

The Juggernaut scanned the surroundings to look for someone who might be from the Chaos camp. This was the reason why they chose to go to remote places instead of leaving the main road.

They were active in the south before, and the brave came here only after receiving the divine revelation.

Before coming to Border Town, they had already visited Water Capital.

It was the Saintess of the Sword who asked them to come to the Temple of the Mother Goddess. To achieve their goals, they needed the ritual of the Harvest Sacrifice.

Hearing what his companion said, the brave man no longer quickened his pace, tilted his head to look at the knowledgeable sage and said:

"I've fought giants before, but I've never seen a hundred-armed giant before!"

 …  

"I just read it from a book..." The sage told his companion what he knew.

"I don't think it's okay if you don't come. Master is staying in the border town. He will definitely be beaten up all over his head."
