The so-called goods were several large barrels of kerosene and axes specially used to chop down trees.
Seeing the mercenary group in front of her pick up the kerosene and walk towards the edge of the woods, Lina stopped and became hesitant.
The girl received a request from the Adventurer's Guild in Eden City.
The adventurer's guild's commission wall is not all simple errand commissions.
Putting bounties on criminals, hunting animals, protecting the city...all kinds of commissions from various forces can be seen on the commission wall. There are even many commissions with gray codes appearing on the walls.
Because capturing tree spirits is tacitly allowed in the Adventurer's Guild, relevant requests can naturally be seen on the request wall.
After the girl came out of the village, she went directly to defeat the demon king, failed, and then returned to the village.
I had no idea how deep the Adventurer's Guild's request wall was, so I saw that I could get 10 gold coins by completing this request, so I quickly accepted it.
On the surface, she was entrusted with escorting the convoy, but she was told on the way that she also needed to deal with special situations. If some powerful wild animals suddenly appeared in the woods, or tree spirits wanted to resist, she would be the one to deal with it. they.
For the gold coins, the girl gritted her teeth and agreed.
But now seeing that the mercenary group actually wanted to surround the forest with kerosene and use the fire to force out the tree spirits hiding inside, Lina began to worry.
I never thought of using such an extreme method to lure out the tree spirits. If I were not careful, I would probably set the entire forest on fire.
"Oka, why are you standing there, come here quickly."
"Is this really what you want?"
"What is true or false? Of course it has to be this way. If we verify it one by one, how long will it take to find the tree spirit?"
A man from the mercenary group walked toward the woods holding a barrel of kerosene.
Lina stood there, still not moving.
"Miss Oka, would you like to come over and take a rest?"
At this time, a green-haired man came to Lina, about 1.9 meters tall, almost thirty years old, and said with a smile on his face.
The person who came was Xiute, the leader of the [Tree Hunting] mercenary group.
"Captain Shute, although the Adventurer's Guild acquiesces in hunting tree spirits, setting fires is against the law..."
Shute said confidently: "Don't worry. This can save a lot of time. Everyone wants to end it as soon as possible. Although I don't agree with setting fire to the mountain, but as long as they keep the distance well, it won't be a problem."
The white-haired girl frowned, obviously not believing what the man in front of her said.
He was obviously the leader but was making sarcastic comments. He was probably the real culprit who allowed the mercenary group to do this.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Miss Oka is also a brave man who once defeated the Demon King."
"Yes, there is such a thing..."
"Well, then we are really destined. I also participated in the battle against the Demon King, hahaha."
Shute laughed, and several things fell out of his sleeves.
Lina was stunned for a moment and helped him pick it up.
"Captain Xiute, you dropped something..."
"Oh? Isn't this the [Slime Hundred Slime Kill] badge awarded to me by the Adventurer's Guild, which can only be obtained by killing a hundred slimes? There is also this [Brother] which can only be obtained by destroying ten goblin nests. Breen's Lair Destroyer badge. It accidentally fell out... This reminds me of that past event again..."
It was completely intentional to show off...
The white-haired girl did not expose the man in front of her, and looked towards the woods again worriedly.
Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Shute changed the subject.
"By the way, Miss Oka, I am also a swordsman. You are also a swordsman. We also participated in the Demon King's crusade together. Why don't we go into the carriage and share the past. The sun here is a bit bright."
"No, no, I'd better stand outside..."
Lina shook her head and refused with a smile.
She just felt that the man in front of her was staring at her body with malicious intent, so she ran to the cargo compartment to stay there.
But as the employer who issued the entrustment, he cannot express such subjective speculation.
Shute withdrew his greedy gaze and secretly looked at the white-haired girl with hatred.
Do you really think I want you to do the work?
This kind of thing is enough for me. I came to you just because of your face.
Are you not even interested in your strong body and rich professional resume?
But it doesn't matter. Seven out of ten low-level female adventurers nowadays worship money. They pretend to be so innocent, but they just can't let go of that thin layer of face.
Shute sneered secretly.
It seemed that he could only use that move to make her surrender at his feet.
"Speaking of which, I really want to learn swordsmanship with Miss Oka if I have the chance."
"Is Captain Shute's swordsmanship very good?"
"Ah, in Eden City, it can be considered one of the top ten existences."
Seeing that the little fish had taken the bait, Shute continued.
"The reason why my swordsmanship has a place in Eden City is because of the teachings of my mother's third sister's cousin's cousin's husband's brother."
"He is still a super person. As a swordsman, Miss Oka definitely knows his name. How about guessing who he is?"
"..."
The white-haired girl was distracted and didn't even know what to answer, so she quietly turned her face.
I don’t want to guess!
Because it was a very boring chat and I didn’t want to make the atmosphere awkward, so I reluctantly accepted a sentence, but I immediately regretted it...
I completely want to block out the noise in front of me... Who wants to guess the genealogical relationship in your family... Such a convoluted relationship has become unclear starting from the third cousin...
If it weren't for money, I wouldn't want to do such boring things.
Practicing swordsmanship well, killing the demon king, and living with Xia Mi without any worries is what the girl wants.
the other side.
Xia Mi and Lulea, who had just arrived outside the woods, saw the mercenary group in action, and saw the white-haired brave Lina among them at a glance.
"I don't know why, but now I don't feel weird seeing Lina anywhere..."
Xia Mi looked at Bai Mao and muttered.
"I feel the same way... Normally, if the weather is this good, it wouldn't be impossible to ask Lina to have a picnic here, but now is not the time to talk about these things."
Lulea looked at Xia Mi beside her.
"With Lina here, we can't do anything at all. It looks like they are going to set fire to the forest. Do you want to catch a tree spirit at the risk of burning down such a large forest? This group of people doesn't look like that at first glance. Be a good person!”
Xia Ye also fell into thinking.
If you want to stop that group of people, it seems that you have to meet Bai Mao face to face.
"Now, here you go."
Lulea handed it over with her little hand and looked at Xia Mi.
It's a pair of black stockings.
A serious look on his face.
"That's all. This is unworn. Do you want it worn?"
"Why can you say this so easily? Is it normal to just give away your worn socks to others?"
Xia Mi refused the black stockings on the blond's little hand and looked at the mercenary group and Lina outside the woods.
By the way, who is that green-haired man? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Bai Mao is annoying you, so please get away from her.
Having said that, it sounds like the green-haired man is not weak from the conversation just now.
There was also the incomprehensible sentence "I got the [Slime Hundred Slime Killer Badge] after killing hundreds of slimes". When I heard it, I already wanted to slam his head into the ground.
"Xia Mi, they seem to have started setting fire."
Lulea quickly pulled Xia Mi, and white smoke was already rising from the edge of the woods not far away.
"It's really troublesome, Lulea. Go out and hold off that group of mercenaries first."
"Eh? If it's just an ordinary mercenary group, it should be fine. But that man seems to have some strength. I heard him say that he is among the top ten in swordsmanship in Eden City."
The blonde girl was stunned for a moment and became nervous.
"No, I don't know what identity I should go out with. Whether she is seen by Lina or the group of people, it is very strange for an elf girl to run out because the woods are on fire and warn them not to set fires. That’s the thing. Nowadays, there are no baseless legends about every forest being guarded by elves.”
"The elves are just close to nature, but they are not the guardian ambassadors of the forest. There is still no way to stop humans from cutting down trees! No matter how much I think about it, I feel like I can't get it right!"
"Is it difficult to get you, Lulea? The elf girl has already thought of a solution in her mind."
"There's no point in flattering me. At this time, I can openly admit that I am stupid."
"Be safe. The Demon King gives you power. I will join you later."
Xia Mi pinched both sides of Lulea's delicate face with both hands, and then turned around and entered the bushes.
The blond girl was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but start acting up.
"What, pinching someone's face for no reason! This is the time to be gentler! In the end, I was left alone. If I am really injured, you will regret it for the rest of your life, villager!"
The blond girl touched her face, her brain was running wildly, and she ran out of the woods.
Outside the woods, less than two or three meters away from the trees, there were already three or four small fires burning.
Shute was still thinking with his lower body, thinking about how to deal with the white-haired girl at the end of the motorcade like he always did.
Lina pretended that she needed help organizing the goods in the carriage and escaped from Xiute.
At this time, he suddenly heard the shouts of the mercenary group.
"Someone's coming out of the woods!"
"I know! It's the elf of the woods! There seems to be a rumor somewhere that there is an elf in every forest. If the forest is angered, the elf will come out and beat people!"
"What a good-looking elf. He even has blond hair."
"Catch it and sell it for money!"
"It's good to be an elf, but it's an elf clan, you idiots!"
"boom!"
The small explosion drowned out the sound of the mercenary group.
Xiute frowned and ran over quickly.
At the entrance of the forest, he saw the most beautiful girl of the elves dressed in elves - Lulea Uzer Aigal.
The blond girl looked at everyone coldly. On both sides of her beautiful white face, there was a reddish patch of skin that seemed to have been pinched by someone.
