Chapter 37

The sun slanted westward, and arrow came back with a tired pace.

Napa on his head was lying comfortably, enjoying the warmth of the sunset. It seemed that it was worth it at this moment.

"I'll have a good rest tonight. I'm really tired."

Ello muttered, and Napa still didn't answer. When he got to the door, he found that the door closed when he went out in the morning had been reopened.

As soon as they entered the guild, cocoa, Buffy and Brad, who were sitting at the dinner table, immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile when they saw their president coming in.

"Oh! It seems that you have completed your task well. "

Arrow waved his hand. Brad came to take the sack in his hand for the first time. Cocoa moved a position to pour milk and put the dishes and chopsticks for him.

"President, where have you been? We were so anxious that we almost wanted to see you. "

Arrow gulped a mouthful of milk and wiped his mouth. At this time, Napa also flew down and drank in the milk plate prepared in advance by cocoa.

"Didn't I leave a note?"

Arrow pointed to the bulletin board.

"Ah...?"

Well, all three looked surprised. Brad immediately rushed to the notice board, reached out and pointed to the words on it, and read them word by word: "I... morning... Afternoon... Evening... What? President, I don't know what the graffiti below is... Is it your signature? "

Well, it seems that he really shouldn't use too high-end writing. The soldier only understood it in the morning and afternoon. Besides, what is graffiti? Your own words are highly praised!

Cocoa covered her head and said apologetically: "sorry... Brother president, we didn't care... Because there have always been tasks assigned to us directly by brother president, and we didn't want to go to the bulletin board..."

... forget it, it's okay.

They sat around the table again. Arrow picked up a piece of bread and chewed it twice. Cocoa said——

"Brother president, there's something I want to say. The thief came again today."

With a puff, the bread just put into his mouth burst out.

It's a little fast!

Although arrow thought the cream might come back, it was too fast! Coming back so soon means that Merlin's gang will arrive soon?!

"Where is he?!"

Ello shouted quickly.

Cocoa was afraid to see that ello was so nervous all of a sudden. She timidly pointed to the gate and said, "when he came... We were in a hurry. President, you disappeared, so we said you didn't know where you were... Then he rushed out without stopping and should have gone to you... President, did you know he was coming back? What's he doing here again? He looked anxious, and he was obviously injured. Many places were wrapped in gauze and looked very embarrassed. "

Now there's no need to eat. Arrow pushed the knife and fork, got up quickly and was about to rush outside the guild door. He ran to the door and saw that it was dark outside. He hesitated a little, but he ran back to the second floor and put on a cloak.

Just as he dressed up and ran downstairs again, he saw a man with a very haggard appearance, a untidy beard and some bandages on his shoulders and arms standing in front of the gate with an anxious face.

When the man's eyes were opposite to ello's, he seemed to relax at this moment. His feet softened and even knelt on the ground.

"Big brother cream!"

The last time the cream came to help Brad when he was in danger, he let the naive guy sweep away his prejudice against him. He was the first to run out, help the cream and take him to sit down at the table.

Coco gave up his seat and waited until arrow sat down again before taking a seat next to him.

Seeing that this guy was at least alive, arrow was a little relieved. He put his cloak on the counter, put on a very unexpected expression, walked to the table with a proud attitude and sat down slowly.

"Ho, Ho, Ho..."

Facing arrow, cream seems to want to try to smile and show his surplus. But it's almost the same as crying.

"(goblin language) Buffy, give our guest a little aroma so that he can calm down a little."

The fragrant taste soothes people's spirit a little, and it can restore people's spirit more or less.

After Buffy sat down on Brad's shoulder again, arrow asked again, "what a rare guest. You brought me an entrusted business of 2 gold and 5 silver in the last task. I don't know how much profit you can bring me this time? "

After stabilizing the spirit, the cream was the first to see the bread and milk on the table. He was not polite either. He grabbed it and began to eat and drink.

Coco: "you are so rude. At least thank the president's brother. "

Regardless of the cream, he continued to eat and drink with his head covered. His attitude seemed to be hungry for three days and three nights.

Arrow waited quietly for him to finish.

Five minutes later, the cream finally regained some energy. He patted himself on the stomach, wiped his mouth, and again hoped to face arrow with a very relaxed smile.

But now arrow is looking down on him with a condescending look. It's strange that in terms of height and combat effectiveness, cream clearly knows that he is definitely much better than the short boy, but when he is so staring at him, he really can't continue to show his glib tongue.

"You've had enough to eat and drink. Should you explain it to me?"

Arrow tilted his legs and tried to make himself look condescending. Fortunately, he is now in good shape, but this man is very embarrassed. It is not very difficult to shape his absolute advantage in status.

The corner of cream's mouth opened, he smiled, spread out his body as much as possible, smiled and said, "explain? Well, there's nothing to explain. I'm tired of staying in the blue bay Empire recently, so I want to visit other countries. Where can't I make money with my skill? Just... I thought I had a contract with you? I just want to ask you and say goodbye to you. "

At this time, whoever speaks his true thoughts first is doomed to be a loser.

Arrow calmed down and let his expression appear calm, with only a faint smile. That's why he won't tell coco, Brad and buffy what he thinks. I'm afraid these three members won't be as calm as themselves.

Cream also smiled and began to talk with everyone about all kinds of local customs. Talking about delicious food and beautiful scenery in other countries.

Arrow didn't interrupt and let him go on like this. With the passage of time, it was obvious that there was no family background to support the cream. After all, it was gradually unable to calm down, and the tone began to become anxious.

"Huh? Have you finished your local knowledge? "

Under the understatement of arrow's inquiry, cream involuntarily stretched out his hand and pinched his clothes on his chest.

Through the shirt still stained with some blood, arrow could clearly see the trace of the necklace.

His teeth gradually clenched, his hand holding the pendant began to tremble, and the green veins on the back of his hand gradually rose.

Such silence is like brewing an anger that will detonate anytime, anywhere! After a while, he finally couldn't bear it any more. He stretched out his hand, took out two short swords from his waist and inserted them heavily into the table.

"I want to... Entrust you with a task."

The dagger has been scarred, and the edge of the blade can no longer kill any creatures. It is covered with blood and mud, which seems to be no different from a handful of scrap iron.

"I want to entrust you... To help me wipe out a bandit gang! As long as I can kill all the members of this bandit gang, I can give you all my possessions! "

Finally, he took the lead in saying it.

Arrow felt a little taste of "victory". He sighed with relief and leaned back. He said with a little skin smile and meat smile——

"Tell me more about your story. In order that we can cooperate better, I still advise you not to hide anything. If I notice that you lied to me a lot, let alone your entrusted task, I'm afraid I'll give you directly to the bandit gang in your mouth in exchange for a reward. "

The corners of cream's mouth twitched. He raised his head and stared at arrow. The president's expression was not like a simple threat. After thinking for a moment, the thief nodded, left the two broken daggers with both hands and began to tell his story.

"I'm an orphan. I've been wandering in the streets since I was a child. I live on petty thieves and raise myself by myself. Gradually, I gained a little reputation in our area. A good thief, a bad hearted hooligan, as long as it is the gold and silver treasure I like, there is nothing I can't steal. "

"There are a lot of exaggerated parts in these compliments of my peers, but I must admit that I also enjoy these compliments. So gradually, I feel that I can do better and earn more gold coins through my little 'skills', so as to live a better and decent life. "

"So when I knew that a bandit team was recruiting people, I went to apply for it with great arrogance. By virtue of my ability to steal his money bag under the eyes of the bandit leader, I succeeded in becoming a member of this bandit gang. "

Arrow pinched his chin and nodded, "so your reward shouldn't be very low. Go on. "

The corner of cream's mouth twitched and continued: "on the surface, our bandit gang still operates under the name of a normal guild. The guild's name is "iron wolf". I wonder if the president of mermaid song has heard of it? "

Arrow shook his head: "no, there are hundreds of registered guilds at least. I can't remember every one."

Cream: "OK. After I joined the iron wolf, I did some nominal business. He helped the guild steal a lot of merchants and robbed a bank. Wolf Firth, the leader of the iron wolf, saw that I was really obedient, so he decided to let me participate in a super big deal of their guild! "

"Before I joined, Merlin took the lead in joining the iron wolf. The magician made a suggestion. Now I think he should want to join the iron wolf because of this suggestion. "

"Merlin Whisperer suggested that we rob a Viscount's residence, saying that as long as we finish this vote, each of us will have more gold and silver than we can spend in our life."

"Wolff agreed to Merlin's plan and announced it to more than a dozen trusted members, including me."

"At first, I was very surprised when I heard that I was going to rob the Viscount's house. I was a little scared, but I was excited to see everyone. In addition, Merlin promised that I would spend more gold and silver in my life, which made me eager to try. I imagine that after this vote, I may quit the guild and find a place to buy a piece of land and enjoy the life of the landlord. "

Touch -!

Brad's fist slammed on the table. He stared at the cream with a very angry expression: "it's wrong to steal and rob! What you do is the behavior of bad people! "

Cream smiled and nodded to himself, "yes, I'm really a bad man. I don't want to disguise myself. In short, because I'm a thief, I'm the first to step on it. "

"In the next month, I pretended to be a grocer and went to the spot to confirm the daily life and rest habits of the Viscount family. This is the most serious and cautious I have ever done, because I hope to retreat. It can be said that at that time, I put all my future life expectations on this action. Then... "

The originally angry cream on his face suddenly softened his expression.

He lowered his head and gently pinched the ring pendant on his chest again, and his voice slowed down——

"There is a maid in the Viscount's house. When I set up a stall in front of their house, I often see this maid in and out. "

"At the beginning, I talked to her intentionally or unintentionally in order to step on the spot and understand the situation. She is only two years younger than me and has the most beautiful eyes in the world. At the same time, I know her name, Rilla. A very nice name... Every time I look up at the sky at night, I feel like I'm looking at her. "

Coco and Brad frowned, and all turned their heads and stared at arrow while the cream was remembering the good times.

Ailuo sighed, "Rilla, it means Lyra. The maid's name sounds very nice. The person who gave her the name must want her to shine and be free like a constellation in the sky. "

"I learned a lot about the Viscount from Rilla, which is very useful for our operation. But gradually, my reason for contacting Rilla began to change from wanting to inquire about the news to purely wanting to see her. "

"Wolf asked me several times if I had explored enough. In fact, I made it very clear as early as the first half month. But I also hope to talk and chat with Rilla more, so I still hope to delay such a good time as much as possible. During this time, Rilla and I sneaked out shopping together. We sat on the grass, breathed the fragrance of the grass, fished and laughed together. I know that our hearts and minds are interconnected, and we can become the pillars of each other's lives. "

"By the way, please don't misunderstand the mermaid song. Even after I fell in love with Rilla, I still had no objection to robbing the Viscount's house. I'm just thinking about how to find an appropriate reason to help her restore her civilian status after the robbery. Because as a maid of the Viscount's house, if you want to marry, you must get the consent of the master. And if they have just been robbed, they must not be in the mood to agree to this marriage. Therefore, only by helping Rilla restore her civilian status first can I easily take Rilla away after looting the Viscount's house and live a beautiful life that I have envisioned countless times in my mind. "

In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, cream said and arrow translated it to Buffy in goblin language. The flower goblin obviously had a strong interest in the story. After the cream stopped talking, he even flapped his wings and flew out of Brad's shoulder. He approached the cream, opened his eyes and looked forward to: "later, what?"
