Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 83
Back in the game world, this kind of thing had happened quite often.
As a Hero, he had to do a lot of quests. Although Fidelinopolis did not give him experience or level up in order to increase the realism of the game, there were rewards for doing quests. The more quests he did, the higher his Reputation would be. Many quests also had hidden rewards that could be collected after completing them. All of these could improve the character's combat power.
And in the process of doing quests, it would often happen … Players prepared for half a day and finally found an NPC that they could get information from, only to suddenly remember that there was a crazy NPC talking about quests when they first entered the city … (: 3.gov.cn) _ (: 3.gov.cn) _
Surprises were everywhere.
But for Xu Jun now, there was no surprise, only shock. He really didn't expect that he would be treated as a knight chasing after a wanted criminal after just a trip to the slums. _ (: 3. ∠) _
Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken?
You're a wanted criminal … I was a wanted criminal two years ago too!
I even beat up the second prince of the Golden Banner!
I even went to three or four churches three times!
Compared to me, sir, you're a little angel!
But … he still held back his inner voice, knowing that the old man did not want to hear his comfort, so he did not say things like it was good to kill that scum. Instead, he thought about it and organized his words.
"This matter needs to be investigated further. I can't believe your one-sided story because there were no children's bodies found at the scene.
As for the matter of sending the two children away … Is there any problem in the city? "
The old man opened his eyes. Now he did not look like an ordinary old man.
For so many years, he had been suppressed by guilt. On one hand, he doubted his faith, and on the other, he could not accept that he had killed someone.
God would not redeem him, and he had no family to tolerate him. His only brother was buried as the "brother of a wanted criminal". The old man knew what they said about him. They said that he was possessed and that he was a demon. They said that he was "probably the one who killed his own brother, that incorrigible bastard!"
If it were not for the two children, he might have died two years ago.
Poverty and illness made him weak day by day, but the most terrible thing was his painful heart.
Xu Jun helped the old man up. "Now, let's listen to what happened in this city."
Jess looked appreciatively at Xu Jun's response. The old man should be telling the truth. As a unicorn, Jess was very sensitive to whether people were lying or not. The old man was telling the truth. Some parts of his story might have been edited, but that was just an exaggeration of people's memories.
And Xu Jun's approach … was also very mature. He did not reveal his identity, but instead accepted the old man's "accusation" because he knew that for the old man, this was the true release.
"Mantou, your friend Xu Jun … is indeed a good human."
He took the initiative to stay outside. Jess expressed that he wasn't interested in human affairs and would rather talk to Steamed Bun.
Steamed Bun was now defenseless against Jess. He stood at the door with his tail wagging, but his eyes were looking into the old man's shed. A child's laughter came from inside. "I'm so jealous."
"I also want to go in and play."
Jess: … Steamed Bun, you're clearly a teenager. Can you not be so useless?!
So Jess put her arms around Steamed Bun's neck and very enthusiastically educated him. "Steamed Bun, you're growing up. I think you'll be able to take human form in a few years, right?"
Steamed Bun rubbed his hand. "Yes."
Jess turned her head and looked at Steamed Bun with a charming smile. He was really a very handsome man. This time, when they went out with Xu Jun and the others, he and Rance had to disguise themselves a little.
Rance's long silver hair was too eye-catching, so he had to wear a hat and keep his hair in it.
Jess had to use illusions to make herself look a little "normal".
Even so, this man with an otherworldly temperament was already very eye-catching.
When he smiled, he was like a slowly blooming moonlight lotus, so quiet and beautiful.
… Of course, this was only when he didn't show his licentious nature, and when he didn't slap his thigh and burst into laughter. _ (: 3. ∠) _
"So, Steamed Bun, let me teach you some things that adults should know."
"Okay, okay!"
Not far away, there were two dirty children peeking at them secretly.
The adults in the slums were tortured by the Black Plague. Most of them were lying in bed and had lost the hope of living. Children, on the other hand, were a little happier because they didn't know anything.
Now, they saw that so many people had come to Lodina's house as guests!
The two naughty children who didn't have a good relationship with Lodina couldn't help but spy here. At first, they just wanted to know what Lodina and Lily were doing and whether they wanted to bring so many people over to destroy their "Little Tyrant's Base". But after watching for a while, the two children couldn't help but be stunned.
The guests at Lodina's house … were so good-looking.
I wonder what they're here for?
They were dressed very nicely and had such a big white horse … Would they take Lodina and Lily away?
It was said that the nobles in the city would take some poor children away.
But if Lodina and Lily were taken away, the "Little Tyrant's Base" would really have no enemies in the future.
How could they play war games?
The eight year old boy, Lodina and Lily's "enemy" in the slums, bit his nails and thought that maybe in a few years he would become a hooligan. Maybe he wouldn't be able to survive the Black Plague and would die. But right now, he was just a naughty child who only knew how to ride a big horse and play war games.
"A big white horse … has so much meat." His younger brother swallowed his saliva and looked at Steamed Bun eagerly.
Steamed Bun: "Naughty children, what are you talking about!"
The old man, now known as Larry, was quite famous in his small town before he was wanted for killing two monks. The old people in the town all knew that the young adventurer Larry was a warm-hearted young man.
Now he was long-winded and couldn't wait to tell Xu Jun everything in the past, as if he could go back to his youth and relive his tragic life.
His two children and Rance ran out of the small house when they heard him and Xu Jun enter the house.
After a while, the three children's faces were dirty. Rance's face was the fairest, so it was the most obvious. He looked like he had crawled through a pile of briquettes.
"Dad, Lodina took me to dig out a rat hole, look!"
The dirty Rance stretched out his hand with a clenched fist. Xu Jun saw that he was holding a rat's … tail.
A skinny gray rat was wailing in Rance's evil hands.
This was probably the first rat to be caught by the Frost Dragon … My rat is so powerful.
Xu Jun's mouth twitched. "Is it fun?"
"— Yes!"
"Then take it and play with it. Be careful not to get bitten. Don't let this guy bite Lodina and little Lily, okay?"
He knew that the Frost Dragons had high resistance, and their skin was the best armor. Although he had transformed into a human, his skin was still rough and thick. Not to mention this little gray mouse, even the most powerful Violent Magic Rat among the Magical Beasts of the Mouse family would be toyed with by a Giant Dragon.
Rance showed a very happy expression and chuckled. "Dad, this rat is so fun. Let's raise him and play with him."
Xu Jun clearly saw the gray rat's hopeless face.
Old Larry looked on coldly. He felt that this knight was quite gentle. When he saw his son being taken by other kids to catch mice, his first reaction was not to reprimand or scold the two kids who didn't know any better. This point alone was already too gentle.
However, how could a young man who looked like he was in his early twenties have a child who was more than ten years old?
"Children, hurry up and search the house. I've heard that there are treasures unknown to humans in the rat's cave. If you're lucky enough, you might be able to find them. Go — your grandpa wants to talk to me about adult matters."
The children were easily fooled. Rance naturally followed his new friends to look for the "treasures in the rat's cave".
Xu Jun, as a despicable adult who deceived the three children, was not ashamed at all. He directly pulled the old man to sit on the bed. It was also a tattered low bed covered with beast fur.
Today must be a disastrous day for the rats living in this shack.
Old Larry looked at Xu Jun in a trance. "… You are indeed a knight, right?"
Xu Jun quickly took off his knight badge and wiped it. "It's the real deal."
The old man carefully held the knight badge and found that it was actually a dark gold badge. He thought that the dark color on it was dirty!
Therefore, he was convinced. The knight in front of him was definitely powerful!
Moreover, he should be able to meet the mayor of Mengdama City directly!
Therefore, he nervously rubbed his hands and couldn't help but scratch his old leg. Xu Jun watched as the old man scratched a lump of mud from his exposed leg (…).
The old man recalled and said, "It was about a month ago, when the black disease just broke out in the city.
I took Lily to the church to ask for some medicine for fever. The child Lodina had a fever. Bishop Carloman was very kind and gave us two packs of medicine. But at that time, I smelled something on his clothes. "
"Sir, if it was an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to smell it. But I was an adventurer when I was young, so I have some knowledge. Also, the adventurers of the Hound Sect have good noses.
I smelled the medicine on the bishop's clothes. Yes, I can't be wrong. The Revelry Vine can be used to make medicine. This I know. This thing can't only be used to harm people. "
"But I also smelled something burning. Sir, this is mixed with the smell of the Revelry Vine … Do you understand?
So I think … this is probably … "
The juice of the Revelry Vine has impurities. If it is used to make ordinary medicine, it is fine. But if it is used to make some kind of drug or stimulant … it has to be burned first.
This is the way to use this material.
Author has something to say: Today, I chatted with my dad.
My dad: How many words do you want to write for this book?
Me: Six or seven hundred thousand words. I guarantee the quality. Write slowly …
My dad: Oh, that's good. This way, you can finally try to write a real long story of more than a million words!
Me: … What?
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
