lord and his dragon

Nigrim doesn't want anything to happen to the elves, let alone the orcs involved. The matter is very likely to affect the entire marginal forest. Negrim has already included the marginal forest into its territory. will sit idly by.

But if he agreed to the elves' request for help as a lord, most of the elves would regard this incident as a means of diplomacy. Instead of being grateful, some extreme elves might think that he was taking advantage of the fire.

Negrim only thought of one method, which was to help the elves settle the matter when they didn't know his identity, and when they felt grateful, knowing his identity would have little impact.

In the past, Abel had to solve similar situations alone, but recently the situation has stabilized, and Negrim's mind has also changed.

Negrim didn't want Abel to leave his side for too long. He thought that his physique was much better than before, and he could complete this matter with Abel, so no matter what Abel did after knowing his thoughts Even though he begged, he didn't change his mind. Instead, he brought Abel to Gaydon City, just in time for the elves who fell into the layout to prepare for the task.

However, this other person who came out was completely beyond Negrim's expectations.

This man looks very young. Although he is half a head shorter than Abel, the muscles on his arms are bulging, and he looks very powerful. He has a broad sword behind his back, and his face is very lively. He squeezed his face to show The dissatisfied elf came to the bar and said loudly: "I want to take this task!"

David was taken aback, and after glancing at Negrim's expression, he immediately understood that this person and Negrim were not together, so he politely refused: "These three adventurers have already accepted this mission... "

Hearing this, the man looked at Negrim and then at Sigma, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at the elf and said, "Isn't he still filling out the registration form?"

Sigma: "..."

Sigma was robbed of the task for the same reason twice in a row, his face turned livid with anger, and the pen in his hand was about to break. Negrim was afraid that the elf would be forced to kill on the spot, so he had no choice but to say: "He It’s true that it’s not completed, but this task can’t be easily completed by one person, you can form a team with us, if you have elves as teammates, this task will be much easier.”

Finding out the truth of the marginal forest doesn't really matter if there are more people or less people, and Nigrim felt that the person in front of him who might be a swordsman might be useful, so he simply extended an olive branch to him.

Hearing what Negrim said, the swordsman thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you are right, well, then I will join your adventure team too, but we have to pay for it." Even split."

Other than him, no one came here for the reward. Of course, no one would object to this condition, and Sigma, who obviously didn't want to add humans to the team more than Nigrim, had no other way. After all, according to the first come, first served here According to the rules, if he doesn't want the task to be taken away by others, he can only accept to team up with this person.

Although he could only be blamed for his slow hands, Sigma still gave the visitor a cold look, then sped up the speed in his hand and filled out the form in his hand.

This time, Sigma finally submitted the form before the fifth person appeared. Not only him, but David also heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what the lord was going to do, the fewer people who hindered them, the better. .

David quickly peeled off the task paper and began to register the information of several people.

"Name Sigma, race elf, occupation is archer, adventurer level F."

David finished writing a line according to Sigma's form, and thought of something before writing. He looked at Negrim, smiled flatteringly, and asked, "What is your name?"

Negrim said, "Alba."

Hearing this answer, everyone couldn't help but glance at Negrim sideways. Alba means white, but Negrim is pitch black from head to toe, which doesn't match the name at all, but this No one would say such words in person, lest they offend the newly-acquainted partners.

Negrim thought so too, who knew that the new swordsman laughed like a fool, and said, "Alba? I think your name should be Negrim, hahahahaha!"

Negrim: "..."

David's head was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to say that this person really called out their lord's name, so he just wrote down Negrim's pseudonym with a dry smile, and asked, "You are a human race, right? Occupation What is it?"

Negrim said expressionlessly, "Humans, corpse whisperers."

In addition to familiar professions such as swordsman, magician and archer, there are also some unorthodox professions on this continent that many people have never heard of. Corpse whisperer is one of them. There is a miscellaneous diary collected by Hugh Nordin's family, and I am afraid that he will not know this profession.

The ability of this profession is clearly reflected in the name, which is to communicate with corpses. It is somewhat similar to a necromancer, but there is a big difference. The ability of a corpse whisperer is too partial, and most of the time it is useless. This is why Negrim pretended to use it, so that he could paddle when he was in action.

Neither David nor Sigma had obviously heard of this profession, and both had more or less puzzled expressions on their faces. Only the new swordsman said: "Corpse whisperer! There are still corpse whisperers on the mainland?! God, you It's amazing!"

When Nigrim heard this, he couldn't help but glanced back at him, and found that the other party looked at him strangely. Even Nigrim couldn't tell whether he really knew about the Corpse Whisperer or was deliberately trying to make people think He knows a lot, and he flattered his teammates by the way.

Negrim didn't pay much attention to this swordsman. He just glanced at him and then looked away blankly. Without waiting for David to ask again, he said directly: "F-rank adventurer. Abel, my companion, human race, ranger , no fixed occupation, F-rank adventurer."

Negrim didn't give Abel a false name. Firstly, he didn't want to, and secondly, it was unnecessary. The name Abel was not considered remote, and no one would associate him with the Lord of Dragons. It was convenient to call him this way, and it was not easy to reveal his secrets.

David wrote down the information one by one, and the three of them also took this opportunity to know the name of the newcomer. His name was Weiss, and he was indeed a swordsman.

What's strange about Negrim is that he thought this person would be a veteran, but he didn't expect that he was also an F-rank adventurer.

If in other places, four F-level adventurers want to team up to complete a commission with a reward of [-] gold coins, the waiter will definitely persuade them to reconsider and not to die, but because David knows Negrim's As for his real identity, he didn't dare to say too much. After registering, he immediately handed over the form in his hand for Negrim to check.

Sigma followed suit, then frowned and said, "Why is Alba the captain?"

David couldn't say that it was because he was the lord, so he had to find a reason: "Because he had a companion before, and he was the one who took the lead."

Sigma didn't know much, so he was easily persuaded by this reason. Weiss didn't care about it at all. He only wanted to get the bonus of [-] gold coins, so he didn't raise any objections. After folding the registration form, he handed it to Abel, and asked the two of them, "Do you have anything else to prepare? If you don't have one, let's go."

Of course, Sigma didn't need to prepare anything, Weiss also shook his head, and Nigrim said, "Then let's go."

So a group of people left the tavern in a mighty way, and David, who knew the truth, finally relaxed.

But soon, he became frowning again. The lord went to the border forest. He didn't know if he would encounter any danger. He prayed from the bottom of his heart that Negrim could return safely, otherwise Gaiden might fall into chaos again. up.

Later, he remembered that this matter might have to be kept secret, so he carefully put the second registration form and task paper in his arms, and he really didn't have the heart to entertain the adventurers anymore, so he ran to call out his companions again Already working.

Negrim didn't have time to consider just how anxious David was.

It was okay in Gaiden, the road was smooth and the distance was not too far, but as soon as they left the city, Negrim realized that Abel's obstruction might not be wrong. He overestimated his physical strength and legs.

Not long after leaving the city, Negrim began to feel tired, and his limping posture was gradually exposed. Both Sigma and Weiss looked at him frequently, but because they didn't know the corpse whisperer, they didn't know if he was Like other lonely mages, he has a weird personality and unspeakable secrets, so he dare not ask questions.

Only Abel knew how weak his master was. Every step of Nigrim seemed to be stepping on his heart, and Abel's chest hurt when he saw it. Although Negrim had asked him not to be too respectful to him, But he still couldn't help but leaned closer and asked, "Master... Alba, do you need me to take you away?"

Abel started talking first, and Weiss then relaxed and said with concern: "Yes, we are all teammates. If you feel uncomfortable, I can carry you."

Then he raised his arm again, showed off his muscles, and said, "Don't worry, I'm a serious swordsman, the kind with rules, and I have great strength, and I won't get tired if I walk with you on my back for ten or eight days." .”

Negrim hadn't spoken yet, and Abel's face was already grim. He thought that his master shouldn't take risks by himself, but he didn't dare to disobey the other party's orders. Rem's work immediately gave Weiss a cold look.

Although Weiss didn't look very smart, his intuition seemed to be very sensitive. He shivered after being stared at by Abel, and then shifted his attention to other places, looking around and suspecting that there were enemies nearby.

Negrim didn't have time to watch the undercurrent between the two of them. He said he would come out. Of course he didn't want to show weakness like this. Holding his cane, he said calmly, "I'm fine, don't worry about it, let's keep going."

Hearing this, Abel had no choice but to slow down and move on, but kept his eyes glued to Negrim's body, for fear that he would bump into him.

However, it was obviously impossible for Negrim to walk all the way into the marginal forest like this. After a while, he stopped with a gloomy expression and did not move.

Sigma stood far away and didn't intend to get involved, just looked at them with his arms folded, and Weiss came up again to ask questions. Only Abel knew that his master's behavior was that he couldn't move no matter what. , but refused to give in, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly walked forward and knelt down in front of Negrim.

"I've wronged you—for a moment, the danger in the forest is unpredictable, and you have to keep your hands free, otherwise I will hug you."

Negrim was upset, but after several changes in his expression, he still reluctantly lay down on the opponent's thick back.

Abel carried him on his back easily, without mentioning anything, and Negrim followed suit with a calm expression, as if he didn't see the expressions of the other two people, with one hand around Abel's neck, and the other pointing at the forest with his cane, He gave orders: "Go ahead and enter the forest before it gets dark."
