"It's over, let's go down."
Lin Ge took a long breath and relaxed physically and mentally.
Lanya hugged his thigh tightly and had no intention of moving.
"No! I won't go down! I want to stay in this tree for the rest of my life!"
She pursed her lips tightly and looked serious.
"You can think of me as a tree."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Ringer jumped down from the branch and landed on the fallen wild boar. Lanya sat on his shoulders, clamped his neck, and clasped her small hands firmly in front of his forehead for fear of falling.
After leaving the swamp, he put Lanya down. Linge used water to generate magic and washed away the black mud on his body and clothes.
Celia who followed out said:
"Can you rinse it off for me? People will laugh at me if I come back to the city looking like this."
At this time, Celia's body was covered with mud and water, like a clay figure.
"No problem, please stand still."
"Oh! Come on."
Celia's legs were slightly spread, shoulder-width apart, as if she was ready for battle.
Lin Ge originally wanted to remind her not to be so nervous, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. He raised his hand, pointed it at her body, and sprayed out a strong stream of water from his palm, hitting the petite body. From top to bottom, from face to feet.
The mud dissipated, and the fair skin was revealed again, and the clay figure turned into a youthful girl with short silver hair, long lines, full and moist - referring to muscles.
Bathing in the water, Celia suddenly bent down and took off her shoes and knee socks.
"It's troublesome here too. My feet are sticky and very uncomfortable."
"OK."
The water moved down and began to wash away those delicate feet, returning them to their original color as white as porcelain.
Celia straightened up, wiped the water droplets from her face, and said with a cheerful smile: "The magician is really easy to use. Uh, I mean that magic is very convenient. I don't treat you like a sprinkler." kind of tools."
She tugged on the short leather armor on her upper body again and said half-jokingly: "I really want to take off my clothes and take a nice bath."
At this time, Lanya walked to Linge, looked at Celia bathing in the magic water, her little face tensed, and suddenly said: "I have washed enough, I want to wash too."
As he spoke, he threw himself between the two of them, blocking the water flow with his body, and the thin robe instantly clung to his body.
Celia squinted her eyes and smiled: "I'm almost done, thank you." She walked aside, started to put on her socks and shoes, and used the recovered breath to dry her clothes.
After the three of them had finished cleaning up, they were ready to return to the city to hand in their tasks.
Ringer looked back at the wild boar carcass under the tree and asked, "Don't you need to take something from it as evidence?"
She shook her head and said, "No need."
"So no one will lie about the results and get paid?"
Celia looked at Ringer again and asked such a novice question with a serious face. It seemed that they were really newbies.
"There will be people from the guild to confirm the completion of the task. If the lie is discovered, you will not be able to survive in the human city. If you are interested in the body of the wild boar, you can take it away, its meat and The tooth should be sold for a lot of gold coins.
But I suggest leaving it to the villagers. This beast is destroying farmland wantonly, and many farmers are seriously injured by it and can no longer work. And they still have to pay the bounty. If they can sell the wild boar, it should make it a lot easier for them. "
Celia suddenly sighed.
"The whole village has only accumulated 89 gold as a reward, but the mission target is so difficult. No wonder no one accepted this commission."
Linger had no interest in the gold coins of this world. After listening to Celia's words, he said:
"Then let it use its body to repay the villagers it has harmed."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Why don't you return the reward to them, and I will pay your share."
Celia looked at him in surprise: "Are you really planning to do this?"
"I see that the village is not rich, and the village chief's home is also very shabby. I don't mind having these 89 gold."
Celia smiled and said: "I have no objection."
"Where's my share?" Lanya, who was following behind, gently tugged on Linge's cloak.
"They are all there, they are all there."
…
The three returned to the Adventurer's Guild and when they handed in the mission, Linge offered to return the reward.
The green-haired elf sister at the guild counter looked surprised and confirmed to Linge: "Mr. Linge, are you sure you want to return the reward?"
"Yes."
"Okay, there will be staff tomorrow to return the gold coins that the villagers have deposited in the guild. I wish you a happy day."
After leaving the counter, return to Celia and Lanya.
Celia tossed a 100 gold coin in her hand, which was the reward paid to her by Linge.
"Come on, let me buy you a drink. If you are so generous, I can't be stingy."
Celia pointed to the wine table by the window in the hall.
Linger had not yet drank wine from this world, so he became somewhat interested, so he sat down at the wine table. Lanya followed reluctantly and sat next to him.
The waiter came over with three glasses of wine full of bubbles and placed the three brown wooden wine glasses on the table. Ringer's nose twitched and he smelled the aroma of malt.
"Smells good."
Celia raised the glass, took a big sip, and said with satisfaction: "This is the best malt liquor here. I usually wouldn't bear to drink it."
Ringer picked up the wine glass and blew away the foam. The wine was dark brown, with bubbles constantly pouring out.
He took a sip. It had a mellow taste, fine foam, and a slight bitterness. Overall, it was pretty good, a bit like Earth's dark beer.
"By the way, can you use your magic to ice it for me?"
Celia stretched out her wine glass and begged.
"sure."
Ringer smiled and stretched out his hand, condensing several crystal clear ice cubes in his palm, two of them fell into her wine glass, and two fell into his own wine glass.
"Thanks."
Celia took another big sip and sighed with contentment.
"I really didn't expect that wild boar to be so tenacious. It took a lot of effort. It seems to be a good feeling to team up with others."
Ringer smiled and said: "Want to join our team? Although it was just established yesterday."
Celia's skill left a deep impression on him. If he had such a teammate, most tasks could be easily completed.
Celia leaned back on the chair, waved her hands and said, "But I'm used to being alone, and your vice-captain doesn't seem to welcome me."
Lanya, who had been unable to say anything, blushed, raised her glass and took a sip, her face blushing even more.
"Hmph, this wine is not as good as Ringer's wine. It doesn't taste good at all."
"Oh?" Celia's expression changed and she looked at Ringer with interest, "You know how to mix drinks?"
"Haha, I understand a little bit."
Ringer's smile was full of confidence.
"Can you let me have a taste?" Celia's eyes lit up, curiosity revealed in her tone.
Ringer hesitated because he was not sure whether Celia could walk into the Emerald Bar.
"Hey, after all, we are comrades who have fought side by side, why don't you give me this little face?" Celia wrinkled her small nose.
Lanya's calves were dangling under the table and she said happily: "Haha, not everyone can drink his wine."
Celia's heroic eyebrows raised. The more this happened, the more she wanted to drink.
At this time, Linger stood up and walked towards the entrance of the guild.
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
