With a slight flapping of wings, a fat chicken with a round face, ah no, an owl glided down from the sky and landed on Ren's outstretched left arm.
"Gugu~gu~~"
The one-foot-long owl with gray and white feathers tilted its neck, stared at the human in front of it with its big eyes, and made two short and one long calls in succession.
Renn's domesticated animals are at level nine, and he can understand what the owl in front of him wants to say.
Showing a reassuring expression to the dwarf, Renn put away the weapon in his hand and said to the owl in front of him with some regret:
"Okay, I know it's hard for you, Xiaona. But I really don't have any dried fish with me."
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to give the other party a slap on the head.
"Goo!"
The owl tried its best to tilt its neck to the side and spread its wings to block Ren's outstretched palm. Its meaning was self-evident.
I don’t have any dried fish, and you still want to touch me?
She knew that things were going to be bad, but due to the strength of both parties and concerns about the old and young people who came to the orphanage, she was helpless against the Red Label Gang.
"This owl...eats fish?"
"Shauna, if you are here, then she won't be far from here, right?"
But even so, the girl's beautiful face and cool temperament were not damaged in the slightest by the rudimentary equipment.
Turning his gaze to the owl on his shoulder, Ren asked:
Speaking of this matter, Angelica felt filled with panic.
The business atmosphere of the Bauhinia Business Alliance is extremely strong. Under the mercantile policy, Bauhinia's economic development ranks first among the four countries.
"Cuckoo!"
Why is this owl only staring at small fish?
The memories of the past slowly emerged in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corners of Ren's lips.
"So smart?"
Upon hearing the call of its master, the owl flutters its wings and uses its small body to point the direction for its master.
It wasn't until the next morning that she learned that Renn had been carried out of the town and thrown into the wilderness. Then she hurriedly searched for Renn's "body", but she couldn't find Renn's "body" at all.
"Okay, okay, it was my fault this time, I will do it next time."
Finally, with the help of Xiaona, she stopped Ren outside the town. She hoped that the paladin could calm down and find a way to find an opportunity to resolve the matter instead of rushing over so recklessly.
"Shauna, have you found any trace of Ren?"
"Her name is Xiaona. She was raised by a friend of mine and I know her very well. But she made her picky about food. I don't know when she fell in love with dried fish... Hiss!"
She is alone, but Angelica is different. She also needs to take care of the naughty children in the town's orphanage.
What the girl wore was extremely simple. It was a simple piece of rough leather armor with iron plates inlaid only on the vital parts for protection. A pair of frayed, over-the-knee deerskin boots made the girl look even taller.
If an animal wants to awaken naturally, its intelligence must reach 9 points to obtain a professional level.
For a moment, the agitated girl even became a little incoherent.
But even if the social atmosphere is gradually opening up with the advancement of business, old towns like Fanlin Town are still not ready.
"Goo~Goo!"
However, the angry Ren didn't even listen to her words at that time, walked away from her, rushed into the old house, and then there was no news.
And if you want to find a job in a high-level legal profession such as Archmage, the minimum initial intelligence requirement is 15 points.
Ren smiled and comforted the girl, then turned to introduce to the dwarf beside him:
"This is Angelica, my ranger friend and Shauna's master."
Ren explained with a smile.
Seizing the opportunity, Ren reached out and slapped the owl's head hard before making a satisfied promise.
The dwarf bowed to the girl and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the Red Label Gang didn't hurt your sweetheart, but suffered a big loss at his hands."
Miss Ranger couldn't say those three words no matter what, so she had to stamp her feet and lower her head in shame and anxiety.
Looking at the owl that jumped on Ren's shoulder, Nan Zhuo's eyes were filled with questions.
Before the owl could answer, an anxious female voice came from the other side of the hill.
As if she understood the ridicule in Ren's words, Owl Shauna lowered her head and pulled a piece of hair from Ren's head to vent her little dissatisfaction.
This is also the reason why there are so few professionals working in high-level legal systems.
There are some things that it is better not to let her know for the time being.
The dwarf glanced at Ren and said with a wicked smile:
"Why don't you go up and give people a big hug?"
After he learned from the children in the orphanage that the Ren family property had been embezzled by his uncle, he knew something was going to happen, so he asked Xiaona to guard the place where Ren had to pass when he returned to the town.
"Ren, I'm sorry," Angelica said with a hint of guilt and crying in her tone, "If I hadn't stopped you at that time, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
In Fanlin Town, there is obviously no such custom, not to mention that the girl does not have such financial resources.
If he remembered correctly, wild owls make a living by eating small birds and insects. Although they occasionally eat fish, they are not their staple food.
This point is most vividly reflected in the dress of the girl in front of her.
Watching the interaction between one person and one bird, Nan Zhuo felt that his more than 40 years of life had been in vain.
"Mr. Dwarf, what are you talking about! Renn, Renn is not..."
Well, definitely next time.
She didn't know that at that time, the "Ren" had been taken over by a soul that had traveled through time and was heading towards the Phandalin Mine.
When the ranger lady raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the paladin opposite, she found that Ren was looking at her as if he was feeling something. She hurriedly lowered her head and abruptly changed the subject.
Ren glared angrily at the dwarf who was worried about the world being in chaos, and introduced him to Angelica.
Missing peaches!
If they were female rangers from big cities, their equipment would be much more luxurious and fashionable than the girl in front of them, and at least they would have a shirt underneath.
After a few breaths, an anxious girl with a long sword on her waist and a long bow on her back walked through the dense thorns and woods, and came to the hills under the guidance of the owl Xiaona.
"My Lord, with your blessing, I escaped from the hands of the Red Label Gang. Angelica, this is the companion I met on the road, named Nanzhuo."
The average intelligence of uneducated ordinary people is only 10 to 11 points, while the average intelligence of modern people with higher education is 12 to 13 points.
The intelligence of ordinary animals is between 2 and 4 points. The intelligence of smarter domestic animals is higher, reaching 5 to 7 points. However, Xiaona's intelligence is even higher than them, reaching 8 points.
At that time, after Ren heard the news, he rushed back to the town anxiously, preparing to cause trouble for the Redbrand Gang and his uncle, not caring that part of his paladin abilities had been sealed.
"Oh~~"
Those who can find a job in high-level legal professions must be top academics from the beginning, otherwise they will not be able to understand the complicated and obscure high-level spell models.
However, when the girl looked at Ren not far away, her cold temperament was instantly replaced by surprise and guilt.
"Hello, beautiful lady, I was rescued by Ren from the Red Label Gang."
"Angelica, how could something happen to me?"
"She was cultivated by my friend as a natural companion. Her intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary beasts, and she is about to reach the standard of natural awakening."
"Ren, you...that's great!"
She is only one head shorter than Ren, and her long pale golden hair is tied behind her head with a hairband, reflecting a little bit of light in the early morning sun.
The anxious ranger spent a whole day searching in the wild, and finally found the missing paladin with the help of his animal companions.
In Angelica's eyes, she caused all of this.
If she could have been firmer and persuaded Ren to stop being so reckless, she would never have reached this stage.
Miss Youxia is so kind, and she habitually takes the blame for other people's recklessness and mistakes.
