Chapter 36 Arriving at the farm, the commission begins [Reading]
"Welcome all adventurers."
"I am Brendan Zeman, a farmer, businessman and farm owner."
Three mule carts drove into the farm, He stopped steadily in the open space under the shouts.
The adventurers jumped off the mule cart one after another and stretched their sore joints.
Standing in front of everyone was a halfling who was less than one meter tall and was introducing himself.
The hair on the back of this guy's hands and feet was extremely thick, but there was not a single stubble left on his face.
He had a straw hat on his head, and his linen clothes were not very decent. He looked like he was wrapped in a rotten sack.
Yes, this guy is the owner of the farm, Brendan Zeman.
Halflings are also a humanoid race. Their limbs are more coordinated than dwarves, but their physical fitness is far inferior to that of the strong Iron Fist dwarves.
It is worth mentioning that halflings are extremely sensitive to mathematics and business, and have shrewd calculations far beyond most intelligent races. They are also recognized opportunists in Naroa.
These little guys mostly hang out with humans and dwarves.
Among them are reliable and hard-working farmers, as well as thieves and bad fraudsters who hang out in the dark streets.
But no matter what, halflings are part of the many ethnic groups in Naroa.
Even Chen Xuan didn't look at him too much, he just used [Insight] to look at the situation.
The possibility of this guy's conspiracy is ruled out.
Compared with the wild boars who are good at sarcasm and provocation, the halflings are not a very strange ethnic group.
His nerves have been trained to a great extent.
The dwarf warrior holding a cigarette in his mouth was the last to get out of the car. He nodded to Chen Xuan and showed a hint of goodwill.
The animal trainer Ophelia "hummed" at the indifferent revenge dwarf, and stood next to Chen Xuan with a straw in her mouth and an open can of Coke.
The unhappiness between the two happened during the journey.
When Ofelia kept boasting about how she had tamed monsters.
The young dwarf warrior who had been silent suddenly expressed his opinion.
He said: "All monsters deserve to die, and those who try to tame them will go to hell together."
This sentence aroused Ophelia's dissatisfaction, and she immediately drew out her arrow and shouted that she was going to poke the dwarf's butt.
At this time, Chen Xuan intervened.
The large pocket conceals the movement of retrieving objects.
He gave the Revenge Dwarf a pack of soft white sand cigarettes and matches, and gave Ophelia a can of Coke and a straw, and told them how to enjoy these good things.
The two men put aside their dispute for the time being.
A dwarf warrior named Sidney Stonehammer became a little more relaxed with just the right amount of nicotine.
Fine tobacco and filters are much more comfortable than smoking a pipe.
The eldest animal trainer also became very interested in the bubble-filled sweet water cola.
She even said that she would do business with Chen Xuan when she returns to Magtan City!
These bubbly sweet waters that taste so good are sure to become a hit all over the city!
Chen Xuan naturally has no reason to refuse. He has been trying to find cross-border business opportunities.
You must know that doing business anywhere requires connections and accurate market research.
Fortunately, the continent of Naroa itself is a multi-ethnic mixture and is naturally culturally diverse and inclusive.
The Naloa natives are far more receptive to novelty than most ordinary people in Blue Star.
This gives Chen Xuan a great opportunity.
The shrewd farm owner just said hello and left.
Farms can provide adventurers with food and accommodation, but all cost money.
As for the commission itself, it is also very simple. It mainly involves investigating and killing monsters wandering around.
If a new monster burrow is discovered, just provide timely feedback.
A new crusade commission will naturally be released in the future.
All the adventurers signed a simple distribution contract together. The general idea was that the entrustment money would be divided equally, and each would choose a direction to investigate. They would return to the farm to gather every two water clocks until the false night arrived.
They will leave Brendon Zeman Farm next Naroa Day.
Everyone takes care of what they gain from killing monsters.
The rules are basically the same as for similar commissions.
This kind of log-level entrusted investigation order has a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
The six adventurers chose to set off immediately and head to the west to investigate.
The dwarf warrior Sidney Stonehammer stuffed the remaining cigarettes into the inner layer of his armor, lightly hammered Chen Xuan's chest, and then walked towards the east of the farm.
The wild boar Ragnar was hanging out with the four-man team, and was bargaining with the halfling farm owner Brendan Zeman to buy sour peach fruit wine. He didn't seem to care about the commission.
This situation is normal. The investigation order itself is a botched task.
Compared with those missions that have clear goals such as killing characteristic monsters or bringing back designated items.
There are simply no requirements for the investigation order. As long as the individual is willing, he can even lie down until he returns to the city.
Ophelia volunteered to join Chen Xuan and Rebecca's team.
The three of them did not act in a hurry, but walked out of the farm, found the peasant woman working in the pea field, and asked about the situation.
After all, Chen Xuan didn't intend to just mess around.
While fulfilling the entrusted task, his real purpose was to kill some wandering monsters.
The chain saw he carried on his shoulder was already thirsty.
From the peasant woman's mouth, Chen Xuan learned that the monster's footprints and movements were mainly in the east and north.
The bitter and resentful Sidney had gone east.
The south is the direction they came from, it doesn't matter whether they explore or not.
Therefore, Chen Xuan and others had no choice but to investigate the north of the farm, which happened to be in the direction of the Eya Forest.
When leaving from the north gate of the farm, the wild boar Ragnar, who was drinking fruit wine from a wooden cup, looked at the backs of them leaving with an inexplicable smile.
...
through cleared fields and logging strips north of the farm.
Chen Xuan, Rebecca and Ophelia quickly entered the forest.
The kitten girl Rebecca is the pioneer. Her movements are strong and fast, and her sense of smell is sharper than humans.
Chen Xuan, who is carrying a chain saw, is in the middle, and last is Ophelia, who is holding a hardwood straight bow.
About two miles away from the farm, they discovered a series of dense tracks.
"Inferior monster goblin."
"The most common stinking shit in this area."
Ophelia knelt down and looked at the tracks, and quickly came to a conclusion.
In the caves around Magtan City, the number of goblins is simply more than the number of lice on homeless people.
In some areas not even a single Goblin can be seen, while in some areas mutant Goblins have even been found.
There is also diversity in the Monster Dungeon.
Kitten Girl also returned from the front and began to report her findings.
"There are also large footprints in the rotten soil not far ahead."
"I also found the paw prints of the Night Shadow Wolf..." "
Conservative guessing, there should be no less than six Goblins and two Night Shadow Wolves passing through here."
"The traces are still fresh, and they won't last more than two Narayas."
"No traces of large monsters have been found yet!" As soon as
she finished speaking, there was a "whispering" movement in the shadow of the dense forest in front of her. Voice!
