Chapter 40: About to enter the mountains

Robb and Xuelu are left alone in the yard with the Baron and Little Yi gone. The Oscar-winning actor and actress looked at each other and laughed.

Xuelu chuckled and said, They are so gullible! Are nobles and nuns really so nave and gullible?

Robb said, Its not that theyre gullible, but rather, theyd rather believe in the power of a secret treasure than to believe Im strong. Its easy for them to make the wrong choice.

Xuelu said, I wouldnt be so gullible.

Thats because you havent seen what I look like when Im lazy, Robb said.

Hearing this, Xuelu couldn't help but shrug and say, "I don't understand. Why are you being so lazy in such a small town? At first, I thought that you were being chased after, so you had to remain hidden. However, when I saw the Baron of the kingdom of Gran and the nun of the Church of Light talk with you peacefully, I knew you weren't being chased. You have no reason to hide in such a small town. With your skills, you can easily live a lavish life in any large city. Or, you could take plenty of risks and hunt the most ferocious of monsters and find the most mysterious of treasures?"

Robb shrugged, Whats the point in getting ahead of others and living a lavish lifestyle? Whats the use in fighting monsters? What about mysterious treasures? It doesnt make any sense.

Xuelu didnt know whether to laugh or cry, What is the point of living a life like an eastern rabbit monk living an isolated and monastic lifestyle?

Robb smiled and said, Well, Miss Xuelu, please stop trying to persuade me and let me be lazy. I will always be here waiting for you to come back to see me the next time you use instant transmission scrolls.

Xuelu said solemnly, I dont use those easily!

Dont plant flags!

What does it mean to plant a flag?

Ha, Im too lazy to explain.

I hope so! The Baron smiled and said, Now I have the confidence to face the difficulties that will block my path.

Robb could see that this guy really seemed different. After smashing the ruby last night, he probably came upon a realization. Although the stone is fake, the demon that the Baron cut is real. He really cut off his greed and desires, so he'll achieve growth.

Sir Baron, sister. Gordas voice sounded nearby, "I was listening to your conversation just now. It seems that you are going into the mountains to search for some bad guy?"

"Yes!" The Baron didn't hide it at all and said, "We are pursuing an end to a huge controversy."

Oh, that seems great!. Gorda grinned and said, Would you allow us to go with you? As you can see, the three of us are very powerful adventurers. The Black Pine Mountains where you are about to go to isnt a peaceful place. Its full of unknown dangers. Although the 100 soldiers under your command are well-trained, they are just soldiers, after all. Their combat strength can be seen clearly in yesterday's battle. I think together, with the three of us, will make your pursuit go more smoothly.

The Baron was slightly stunned. The yes or no question was easy for him. Three seconds later, he held out his hand to Gorda and said, Youre welcome to join us. Im willing to pay you twenty gold coins for this mission.

Gorda smiled and said, Twenty for three isnt easy to divide. Do you want us to fight amongst ourselves? I think you should make it 21.

"It's a deal."

Robb put down his cup and toothbrush and snarled, "I say, Gorda, do you even know what the Baron is dealing with? You're too rash to take on such a task with more than seven hundred skeletons and a powerful necromancer. You'll have to get close to death again within a few days."

Gorda laughed, "Are there any adventurers that don't brush close to death every day? People who are afraid won't take risks."

Behind him, Jike and Xuelu shrugged, saying nothing, but agreed to Gordas words.

Robb thought, "Do you really want to worry me like this? Although he gave Xuelu another instant transmission scroll, he still felt worried. Urgh, who am I to get so sentimental?

He said to everyone, Wait a minute, Ill get something from the warehouse for you.
