Chapter 8 Rewards (2)

Under the brilliant starry sky, in a town open space, bonfire bear

There are always three or five close friends in life. Since that's the case, Romon invited his friends, Fafer and Nick to share their prey.

The three of them sat in a circle around the bonfire, and the scorching and bright flames swayed in the wind.

Romon held a wooden stick in one hand and paid attention to the flames. The flames wrapped around the two pig legs. Romon rolled and adjusted his position, carefully controlling the fire.

Under the burning of the flames, the prey made crackling sounds one after another. The oil under the skin could not stand the high temperature and the tempting fragrance gradually dissipated.

"Romun, how do you want to get us today?" Fafell stared at the barbecue in Romon's hand in a daze. He was a good friend of Romon, but because Romon was busy with the druid's practice a while ago, he had no time to care about it, and he had not had close contact for a while. When he saw it, he just greeted him.

Someone from the Fafeer family used to be soldiers for the lords. They had been well-off for a while, but they could not survive the battles again and again, so their family background became poor. The family was not very well-off. They were used to being hungry when they were young, and they looked skinny and liked to eat meat very much. However, they were agile and had some strength.

"Why didn't you expect you?" Romon spread his hands and raised the roasted pig with wooden sticks on his other hand, making a false expression. "I didn't call you to eat after I caught a portion of prey today."

"You still say you've been thinking about your old friends." Nick said sadly: "Fafell and I usually want to find you, but we don't know where you are hiding."

"I can't avoid you." Romon explained awkwardly, looking down at the heat, muttering: "I'm just busy with the druid training."

Young people are best at face, and the same is true of the past Romon. Whenever he fantasizes about his dreams in his past, he returns home in front of his friends and looks proud, he will be particularly attentive. At the same time, he also cares about his image in front of his friends - he hopes to communicate with them after becoming a druid.

"Then you won't be a druid now?" Nick asked with a little strange feeling.

"It's not that I won't do it." Romon laughed and covered up his embarrassment.

"Why is that?" Fafell's curiosity was also aroused.

"Oh!" Romon sighed long, showing a helpless look on his face: "I have to think about life first."

Fafell and Nick were a little embarrassed. They were about the same age as Romon, but they were just young teenagers, but they were not as unparalleled as Romon and had to rely on their own strength to take care of themselves.

The three of them were speechless for a moment, and the town under the starry sky became quiet. There was nothing but the crackling sound of roasted pigs.

"Well..." After a long time, Romon raised the wooden stick and carefully observed the roasted pork legs. The golden skin looked crispy and particularly tempting. Romon cut a small hole with a knife, and a gust of white air suddenly came to his face, but the meat inside was so white that there was no sign of charred at all.

"It smells so good..." The three of them opened their noses and closed their noses, and their faces and eyes burst into joy, and they sighed together.

"You can eat it, let's divide it." Seeing that the prey had been baked, Romon said the words of the other two who had been waiting for for a long time.

The three of them finished their meal and started eating happily.

"What are your plans?" Romon ate silently, "You can't rely on your parents for the rest of your life."

"Well, if I were to join the army, I would be fine." Fafell ate carefully, without raising his head: "My family has a short bow, and I have learned some fighting skills myself!"

Nick carried the meat with a knife and ate it: "I don't want to be a soldier, but it would be great if I could be a businessman."

"Then let's go out with me!" Romon ate slowly and silently, looking thoughtful. He knew that Fafell's real ideal was to be a knight, and Nick wanted to become a big businessman.

"It's dangerous to be an adventurer, and there's no guarantee." Fafell thought for a moment and said, "I still want to wait for when the Baron will be recruited."

"Then Fafell, you should go on a risk with me!" Romon laughed and threw a piece of meat into his mouth: "Well, it's so hot... Tell me, what are the benefits of Lord Lord promulgating a reward to the outside?"

"Well, maybe this is cheaper. After all, it costs a lot to raise a soldier." Fafer was planning to enlist in the army, so he was not unfamiliar with this.

"You can also select some real warriors!" Romon said while chewing the meat: "I will complete the lord's reward and receive the bounty. Why does the lord have no records in his hands?"

He then ate another piece: "Anyone who dares to go out to adventure will naturally have the courage to fight, and since he can successfully harvest and receive a bounty, it will prove his wisdom and combat power."

"Well, wait until the lord wants to expand his army." Nick stopped dealing with his own portion. He had finished eating and interrupted, "Of course, choose someone who has the courage to take risks and dares to fight."

He sucked his fingers in lingeringly, and then said, "What's more, our family background is innocent."

Fafell originally wanted to say: "And like us, family members live in the town, and they have to fight to defend the town."

But thinking that no one of Romon's parents knew about it, he swallowed this sentence into his stomach.

"So what are we fighting?" Nick was a little moved by this.

"Go to the forest to kill goblins, cut your scalp to get a reward." Romon said to Nick, then turned to look at Fafell: "Take some prey too, and sell the fur directly to Aunt Jenna's tailor shop. As for the meat, we can eat part of it ourselves and the other part is sold for money."

"Forest? The forest is very dangerous." Nick hesitated, "If you accidentally get attacked there."

"It's okay, I'm a druid!" Romon stopped talking about the apprentice this time: "I know the situation in the forest very well, just like I know the lines on my palms."

Romon said this, in fact, "I will know after reading it, but neither of them can hear it."

"Okay, I want to be a warrior. I have to hunt in the forest and take care of each other as a team." Fafell thought for a while and agreed.

"That's my part!" Seeing that both of them were interested, Nick nodded in agreement.

"What are you going to prepare?" Romon was very happy. "I have to buy some more things, too."

"I don't need to prepare anything. I have a bow at home, and I have some arrows that I usually make myself. Then I buy some iron arrows." Fafeer calculated: "I'll finish it in one night."

"I have to prepare, it will take about two or three days!" Nick said.

The three of them immediately discussed some collective public supplies and cooperation methods, and the division of labor was completed in a short while.

"It would be great if there was meat every day!" Nick finally finished eating, and he sighed with some oil on his lips.

"Yes. It's much better to eat with meat than to eat black bread after all." Fafell smiled, licking his lips cleanly, "Haha...Romon is really baked well."

"If you hunt prey in the future, I will deal with it." Romon said.

The night was getting deeper, and the three of them chatted for a while, and then went home together.

It was already dark and the town was empty.

Before he knew it, he came to the altar of the Earth Goddess, looking at the stone altar. The colorful colors represent ancient traces. He walked into the altar. On the platform, there was a statue of the god, which was Ixedes, the goddess of earth.

On the wall, there are reliefs of bulls and trees, flowers and plants. The goddess' statue is not independent, but is carved from three-foot-sized marble on the altar. She wears a crown made of flowers and plants on her head and a green dress. However, her appearance is beautiful, and her female curves are vaguely visible, with a very feminine charm, but her eyes are very vivid.

In the past, Romon came here to pray, especially after he attempted to become a druid.

In the past, Romon, when he had time, he was involved in helping the temple clean up, so he was allowed to read the thick "Sacred Book of the Agriculture Goddess" in the temple.

It is this piety that attracted Alini's attention in an environment where most of the townspeople live in chaos and expressed great appreciation for it. They often taught him to read all night after praying, and allowed him to enter and exit the temple of the goddess of agriculture at will, including the garden behind.

As the temple of the goddess of agriculture, it usually has granaries and impressive gardens.

The granary is the place where the temple purchases grain for storage, while the garden is the place where the pastor teaches others how to correctly plant plants, identify the characteristics of animal and plant diseases, and herbs.

Therefore, there are not only daily crops, but also a large number of herbs.

More importantly, the temple has a rich collection of books that civilians cannot imagine - a luxury that only clergy and nobles can enjoy.

The moon shines on the temple, and there is no one in it. The moonlight pours out from the large windows inlaid with colored glass, making it look brilliant and mysterious.

In the temple, countless green lights are flashing, which is also a natural force, but only belongs to the goddess. Only when the druid believes in the goddess can he receive a reward.

Romon made a silent prayer statement. In the past, Romon had finished his work and came here to pray at night. At least he had to continue this habit on the surface.

He walked out of the prayer hall and couldn't help but feel trembling

"Ah, it's cold, boy, you're dressed too thin." A voice said, "Do you still pray to the goddess in such a situation?"

"Pastor Tenness, I just want to tell the goddess what I think is." Romon said humbly.

Romon didn't want to answer or refute his words at all, because he knew very well that Elini had greatly appreciated him, but Pastor Tenness was very disgusted by this.
