The townspeople parted sides and let the fast horse pass quickly. The rider on the horse was very flustered and hurried. Before and after reaching the gate of the mermaid song guild, he didn\'t even have time to stop his horse, so he rolled down from the horse in a hurry.

"Be careful!"

Brad was quick and immediately stepped forward to catch the man who fell off his horse. Coco waved a dead tree branch, and the skeleton soldiers quickly came forward and grabbed the reins of the runaway horse to stop the panting old horse.

Arrow frowned, walked forward and said, "Dr. Cora? What\'s so nervous? Your old horse usually takes you to the next town for a clinic. The daily baby is dying. Why are you so nervous today? "

The man named Cora is about sixty years old and belongs to the doctor of Pelican town. Although it\'s a doctor, judging from Arrow\'s experience in big cities, it should be a barefoot doctor at most. Pelican town may be able to cope with a small cold, a small injury or something, but for a more serious disease, the doctor\'s only way is to carry the patient into his carriage and quickly transport it to the nearest city to find a professional doctor.

Dr. Cora was out of breath. His face was livid. With the help of Brad, he finally came to ello and said, "monster... Monster! The monster is out! Shine in the forest, monster! What a big, terrible thing! "

As soon as they heard of the monster, the villagers who were going to disperse around surrounded again. Everyone\'s face was both afraid and excited to listen to gossip.

But it\'s really inconvenient for so many people. Arrow thought and asked Brad to help Dr. Cora into the guild and sit down in the rest area. Cocoa brought a glass of water and put it in front of him.

"Take a breath and say it well. What\'s going on?"

With this glass of water, Cora\'s expression finally eased a lot. He let his breath as gentle as possible and finally said——

"Monster! I... I saw the monster! "

"I\'m going to the shining forest to collect herbs today! You should know, too? The shining forest is rich in herbs. I will collect some and dry them in the sun, and then transport them to big cities to sell them sometime to make money. "

"But today... This afternoon! Just when I think the harvest is almost the same and want to come back! But... I suddenly saw... So big! Such a big lump of sludge! That sludge is like living! Crawl slowly in the forest! "

"I was so scared that I didn\'t dare to move! Then, I saw this earth like thing with my own eyes and suddenly wrapped a passing rabbit! "

"That rabbit... Rabbit! He kept struggling in the monster\'s stomach, but it was like drowning. He couldn\'t escape any struggle! "

"I watched with my own eyes... I watched the rabbit melt in the mud belly, the transparent belly, first hair, then skin, then meat, then internal organs and bones! There\'s really nothing left. It\'s really terrible... It\'s terrible! "

At this point, he suddenly got up and wanted to grasp arrow\'s hand. Arrow instinctively shrank back and continued to have a gentle and polite smile on his face. The doctor didn\'t grasp arrow\'s hand, so he could only turn his head and grasp Brad\'s huge and rough palm next to him. He said excitedly, "the monster saw it. I have a hunch that he must have seen me! If I didn\'t react and run away quickly, he must have eaten with me! "

"You\'re the adventurers guild, aren\'t you? It\'s for these monsters, isn\'t it?! Can you... Can you kill that monster? Will the monster come to my house at night! My home is in the east of the town. As soon as that thing enters the village, it will meet my house. I\'m afraid. I\'m really afraid! "

Judging from Cora\'s words, it should be king shrem. No matter how bad it is, it should also be some slym guards under King slym.

It\'s just that arrow didn\'t expect that in less than two months, these shrems have changed from eating wheat to eating living creatures directly. It seems that their number is really beginning to expand.

After confirming the mission objectives, think about your team lineup——

One warrior and one mage. Barely counting Buffy who can only smell, plus he is a non combat personnel, at most two combatants plus an ornament and his own brain.

So the answer is obvious. King shrem is far from a problem that their guild can solve.

"I see. If there are demons and commissions, we have business. Mr. Cora, let\'s talk about compensation. According to the difficulty of adventurers in our guild (referring to the task level description on the wall), this task should be above copper level. In other words, at least one gold coin starts. "

"A gold coin?!"

Sure enough, when it comes to money, what terrible monsters are immediately forgotten.

Cora\'s eyebrows crowded into a pile. He shook his head: "it\'s too expensive! I see a patient\'s diagnosis gold is only one silver coin. Do you want me a gold coin directly? I can\'t see many patients a month, you know? "

Arrow smiled and spread out his hands: "this is a demon, and he has begun to eat the demon of living life, shrem. God knows what terrible things they will do next. Or... Dr. Cora, you can make do with it and never go to the shining forest to collect medicine again. Anyway, as long as you don\'t get close to there, those shrems shouldn\'t come to trouble you. "

"How can that work?!"

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, the doctor blurted out——

"I... I usually live on these herbs! How else would you let me eat? How to drink? If you can\'t pick herbs, you will kill me alive! "

After yelling, Corazon opened Brad\'s hand and tried to grab arrow\'s hand again. After being dodged by arrow again, the old man suddenly said fiercely: "you... Have monsters. Instead of killing them, you come to ask me for money? Isn\'t killing monsters the most important thing you adventurers should do? Don\'t you exercise and form this guild just to kill monsters?! If we can\'t afford it, are you going to watch our whole Pelican town destroyed by monsters? "

At this point, Cora suddenly stood up from her seat, pointed at ello angrily and shouted——

"Ah ~ ~ ~ I understand. So you\'re not even residents of Pelican town! You are just some cruel mercenaries, some cold-blooded killers who just want to make money! I tell you, if I can\'t live, I\'ll make you too! I will... I will speak ill of you everywhere! You\'ll see! "

Brad has a good temper, but coco is not. She had endured for a long time that the doctor repeatedly provoked her president and wanted to entrust tasks without giving money. Now she was angry to see that this guy scolded him. She immediately took a step forward holding a dead tree branch.

But after all, arrow reached out and gently stopped her.

"Oh, look what Mr. Cora said."

Moral kidnapping, emotional debt.

In the past, arrow only saw this kind of thing in books. I didn\'t expect to see a living example now?

I can only say that this kind of behavior is very rogue. If you are not reasonable, you can still come up with all kinds of messy reasons to convince yourself that you are right, so as to oppress others. In a way, this kind of cheekiness is also a skill.

Looking at the angry guy, arrow continued to maintain his commercial smile and said, "well, we also hope that the business can be more developed. But at the same time, our guild is often short of manpower. Once we encounter any problems with our short manpower, we will be very passive. "

Cora saw that ello didn\'t follow his words, but changed the topic. She was anxious immediately and quickly wanted to pull back the conversation: "what are you talking about? I said you have to help our town residents solve their problems! "

Arrow was not in a hurry and continued to laugh, "don\'t worry, let me finish. I don\'t like confrontation and cooperation. So don\'t be so angry with me, Mr. Cora. We are all residents of Pelican town. We don\'t have to be unhappy with each other for such a small thing. Don\'t you just want to destroy this demon and continue to collect herbs? Then why don\'t we sign a contract. "

Cora: the contract

Napa on the counter glanced at the barefoot doctor and yawned: "it\'s starting again."

Arrow said with a smile, "yes, we\'ll make a contract. Since you think a gold coin is too expensive, how much do you think is appropriate? Of course, free is impossible. Just like the doctor, you can\'t help people see a doctor for free all day, can you? Although it is the bounden duty of an excellent doctor like you to save the lives and heal the wounded. "

After being flattered, Cora\'s face eased significantly. He nodded and sat down again in his seat: "I didn\'t say you were free, just that your price is too expensive! Well, if you had talked to me so politely earlier, I wouldn\'t be in a hurry. How about... Five silver coins? "

"Deal!"

In order to prevent this guy from turning back, ello agreed immediately, but then added his own conditions——

"It\'s just that the cost performance of five silver coins is too low. We need to prepare more than that. In order to make up for it on the other hand, as I said just now, our guild is not fully staffed at present, so I hope to buy the medicinal materials collected by Dr. Cora in the future. "

Cora was slightly stunned. I\'m afraid he didn\'t think of this at all. His face was full of confusion: "you... Want to buy the herbs I bought?"

Arrow smiled and nodded: "after Mr. Cora collects any medicinal materials from the shining forest, he must first send them to our guild and let our guild take the lead in purchasing. As for the purchase price... It may be a little cheaper than what you sell in big cities, but it saves you the trouble of fatigue. The slightly larger city nearest to Pelican town should be xiehu city. Even if you ride a horse, it will take two or three days to come back. It\'s cheaper to deduct your toll. "
