Although they thought it would be particularly easy for Ren to join and cooperate with the tactics to eliminate the goblins, several noble ladies did not agree with his idea of joining the team.
After all, I don’t know much about him, and the team is all female, so it’s always inconvenient for a man to suddenly join.
On the contrary, because he was still able to run so fast while wearing a set of heavy iron armor and kill the goblins with one arrow every time, he felt something was wrong with such a powerful combat power for a novice adventurer.
So after Ren came over, he took advantage of his rest to regain his strength and asked him why he had so much strength, ran so fast, and why he could easily kill goblins in seconds.
Of course, Ren couldn't tell them that I had a system to kill monsters and upgrade them. I added points to strength and agility, and had attributes far beyond those of ordinary people. He couldn't say that he could kill goblins instantly because of his high agility and stronger damage from long-range weapons.
Just use "men's physical fitness is inherently better than women" to fool them.
Although they were not very satisfied with his answer, the five noble ladies did not ask any more questions.
Because they worked together to eliminate the goblins, the five Charlottes had a slightly better attitude towards him, at least they didn't chase them away like before.
Ren took the opportunity to sit down and rest, chatting casually with them.
After chatting for a while, he deliberately said: "I just came out of the Despair Sand Sea and was attacked by the Sea Clan while taking a boat in Moon Lake. Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived and repelled them. Recently, I heard that the Sea Clan many times
Attacking near the coast, I feel like something big will happen in Storm City."
Christine heard this and said: "Although the Sea Tribe is powerful, it would be unwise to start a war with our Kingdom of Nangris!"
"Yes!" Linda nodded, "I really can't figure it out. The Sea Tribe had trade relations with our Storm City in the past, and the relationship was fine. How could they suddenly fall out with each other?"
"Who knows?" Monica shrugged and spread her hands, "Maybe this marine race is naturally aggressive!"
Seeing them participating in the topic, Ren pretended to be casual: "Why can't we coexist peacefully? After finally coming to Storm City, I just want to live a stable life. I just escaped from the war between Herman and Mandras, and I have to go through it again.
The war between Nangris and the Sea Tribe? It’s so annoying!”
"Who says it's not?" Charlotte rarely sighed, "I hate war too."
"I heard a rumor recently," Ren lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious, "someone said that the princess of the sea tribe has disappeared! The reason why the sea tribe attacks humans everywhere may be related to this matter."
"Who did you listen to?" Christine asked curiously.
The four Charlottes also stared at him.
"I just heard about it by chance in the lounge of the association hall. I don't know if it's true or not." Renn shrugged, "But I don't think the sea tribe will attack humans for no reason."
"How can you just talk about this kind of thing without any evidence?" Charlotte regained her composure.
"That's right! What does the disappearance of the sea princess have to do with us humans?" Christine shook her head directly, "You also said it was a rumor! Most of the rumors are false."
"Maybe!" Ren said, "But on my way to the Warcraft Forest some time ago, I saw the Storm City army claiming to be loyal to Baron Andrew. They pulled a strange water truck and said they were going to the Royal City. After that, it seemed
They lost something, and they interrogated me and the carriage driver. Although they didn’t understand what they were looking for, now that I think about it, the missing sea princess couldn’t be in the water truck, right?”
"Andrew, Princess of the Sea Tribe? Are you kidding me?" Christine didn't believe it at all, "How dare a little baron have such courage?"
"That's right!" Ren said, "I must be overthinking. I'm not afraid of a few jokes. At that time, I was still thinking about the plot. I felt that there was a big shot in the capital who asked Baron Andrew to do this and deliberately kidnapped the sea princess.
As a hostage, this is used to coerce the Sea Tribe to obey and control this ethnic group. If this is the case, it is good to succeed. The Kingdom of Nanglis can surrender to the Sea Tribe and have more powerful power. If it fails, Storm City and other coastal cities will be unlucky.
The Hai clan keeps harassing us and may even start a war. After we finally find a place to live, we may have to flee to other countries, which is quite troublesome."
After listening to what he said, several noble ladies were thoughtful.
After chatting for a while, Christine asked him: "We are going to continue searching for Fernand, aren't you leaving?"
Ren replied: "My mission lasts for a month, so I'm not in a hurry. If I have a rare opportunity, I would like to learn Miss Carla's superb tracking skills. I guarantee that it will not affect your missions and let me, a novice adventurer, learn more."
Bar!"
"Okay!" Kara nodded immediately, "As a senior, you should teach newcomers."
Charlotte and the other four looked at her speechlessly, thinking, "Are you planning to teach the newcomers? You actually want him to help track Fernand, right?"
They had long seen that as both archers, Ren's tracking skills far surpassed Kara's.
Although Carla is still trustworthy, even without Renn, it will definitely take a long time to find the traces left by Fernand, unlike Renn who can easily point out the direction every time.
After thinking about it, I felt that there was a goblin lair nearby. If I wasted my time searching slowly, there would be a high chance of fighting again.
It's better to find Fernand quickly before alerting more goblins.
If the missing farmer is still alive, racing against time is also the key to saving his life!
Thinking of this, I temporarily agreed.
So Renn continued to follow the five noble ladies, nominally learning tracking techniques, but actually providing clues without leaving any trace, leading them to quickly search along the traces left by Fernand.
When we came to a steep slope, in addition to Fernand's footprints, we also found traces of some kind of canine, including some shed fur.
After careful inspection, Carla said worriedly: "Based on the footprints left at the scene, it is inferred that Fernand encountered a pack of wolves here and should have fallen down the steep slope!"
"He won't be eaten by wolves, right?" Monica frowned, "I don't want to go to the wild wolf den to search for bones, it's too dangerous!"
Everyone came down along the slope. After careful investigation, Carla said to everyone: "There are some dried bloodstains here. In addition to Fernand and the wolves, there are more human footprints. There are signs of struggle at the scene, and there is a possibility that
Two - Fernand was taken away by wolves and became their food; or he was rescued and escaped death!"
"There are wheel and horse shoe marks here," Lane reminded, "There are also footprints similar to Fernand's. I think the latter is more likely!"
The noble ladies hurried over, checked the traces and nodded to each other.
"It seems that the carriage is headed towards Glory Town in the south!" Charlotte thought for a moment and said to her teammates, "Let's hurry up and reach Glory Town before dusk."
