When the dungeons of 'Bloodflow Canyon' and 'Silver Leaf City' were opened, the originally peaceful Black Forest once again became lively like a fair.
Countless adventurers with dreams of getting rich poured in. They stopped briefly in Harmony Village, took supplies and equipment, and rushed into the vast forest. Some people could make a fortune, while others were eaten by monsters as snacks.
Old Borg sat on a carriage that was pulling goods, and followed the newly opened road to the depths of the forest. There were several adventurers sitting in the carriage who looked like rookies at first glance, and their postures when holding knives were all wrong.
"I really don't understand, how can these rookies dare to break into the black forest?" Old Borg chatted to the driver, "They will become the shit pulled out by the jackals in a few days."
The coachman laughed loudly, but then shook his head and said: "They purchased the VIP service. Tsk tsk tsk... It's a full two hundred gold coins. I bet they are all the children of a powerful family in the North.
Came here secretly for fun."
After entering the forest, the rookies were very excited and nervous. They wore light armor and held expensive swords. There were two or three real adventurers in front of and behind them, who were responsible for providing security services.
When the carriage reached a certain bend and slowed down, the adventurer leading the team pretended to be nervous and shouted.
"Be careful, rookies, monsters always choose places like this to launch attacks. Ah..., look! A group of goblins are rushing over. We are facing death threats, so prepare to fight."
There really was a group of goblins emerging from the woods, shouting "Oke Oke", and attacking the carriage with short spears. The coachman raised his whip, and the horse pulling the carriage neighed and kicked constantly. The carriage shook.
, which increases the tension even more.
The adventurers on the carriage only raised their shields and shouted: "Pick up your bows and arrows to stop these terrible monsters. Remember to stay calm and don't panic. They are just goblins. If you can't even defeat them, you go home and drink."
Let’s go milk.”
The rookies were trembling nervously. Some couldn't even hold the knife, and it dropped with a clang. Some people couldn't pull the bow steadily, and their faces were covered with blood when the bow string bounced. For a moment, the sound of crying "Mom" was quite loud.
Loud.
The goblins that rushed up from outside the car were just making noises and were not very fast at all. The adventurer who led the team was not surprised by the performance of the rookies. He only stepped forward and kicked a few people's butts and told them to fight back bravely.
After struggling for a long time, a few arrows were shot out from the carriage.
It's just that the shots were neither accurate nor powerful, and the target couldn't be hit even at close range. Finally, a goblin got a bullet in the butt, and the carriage had already passed through that 'dangerous' area.
The rookies were in shock and burst into tears.
However, the adventurer who led the team praised loudly: "Well done, you defeated a goblin attack. This is a great victory. But don't be proud. The next journey will be more dangerous, and you must always be vigilant."
Old Borg couldn't stand the farce and whispered to the coachman: "Isn't it fun to coax these rookies?"
The crying rookies are receiving "post-war psychological counseling", and the coachman also joins in the praise, saying that "if it hadn't been for the strong action of a few great young heroes, his carriage would have been intercepted by the goblins."
The rookies were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, and they were coaxed to great joy by the flood of praises. For a moment, they really felt like heroes. After the coachman finished praising him, he whispered to Old Borg and smiled in a low voice: "I spent money.
Don’t you just want to be happy?”
Old Borg shook his head and expressed that he was completely unacceptable. Along the way, the convoy was attacked several times. From goblins to kobolds to a tall bugbear, it felt really good to upgrade and fight monsters.
The rookies were like riding a roller coaster. They were scared to death and had great fun at the same time. They even had the courage to get out of the car and attack the bugbear, even slashing it several times.
The pitiful bugbear was roaring, and even though a stick could crush the novice's head, it could only block a few times randomly, relying on its thick skin and rough flesh to carry it until the end of the 'combat experience', and finally 'escape'.
The rookies were dripping with sweat and extremely excited.
However, after the bugbears, there were several living corpses lying on the road ahead. A jackal was gnawing at the flesh and blood. The adventurer leading the team immediately picked up the sword, shield and heavy crossbow, and the driver was extremely nervous and rode his horse.
Pass quickly.
The strong smell of blood turned the faces of several rookies pale and made them wet their bodies. They looked at the disemboweled corpses and were all speechless, feeling the threat of death.
On the other hand, the jackal glanced at the mark on the carriage, let out a few meaningless roars, and dragged the body into the woods.
The appearance of the Jackal made Old Borg extremely nervous. However, the two sides passed by each other without incident, which was extremely lucky.
The adventurer leading the team 'explained' to the novices: "These jackals are extremely ferocious, but they will not attack randomly when they are full."
A rookie asked: "Who are all the people who died?"
"Some guys think they are powerful. This is the price of recklessness." The adventurer who led the team said, "Without our guidance, the Black Forest is extremely dangerous."
Far away from the jackals, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Old Borg: "They are guys who refuse to pay or work for Mr. Hugo. Every time I take this road, I see these guys."
An arrogant person deserves to die."
Old Borg breathed a sigh of relief but asked more doubtfully: "The jackals have always been unruly. When did they become so obedient?"
The coachman smiled and said: "The gnolls are unruly and ferocious, with extraordinary strength and familiarity with the forest. But we are well-equipped, have enough food and drink, have high morale, and have goblins to lead the way. Todd and Nar have led the team to kill them many times.
The skin of the jackal leader was peeled off and hung in the government center as a carpet, and the lair was carried several times, anyone would become honest. I once heard Mr. Hugo say something - when it comes to cruelty, human beings are
It’s number one.”
Old Borg was left speechless and had to admit that the last sentence was absolutely correct - humans may seem weak, but there are humans everywhere in Faerûn, which explains everything. Monsters are not willing to hide in
Deep mountains and old forests.
The carriage traveled through the Black Forest for a day and arrived at the jackal's den where it stopped halfway. This transit station had already built a roofed fortress with more than a dozen rooms and thick walls.
After a whole day of fighting and frightening, as well as the bumpy journey, several rookies were exhausted and weak. They entered the jackal's den, ate and drank whatever they wanted, and then fell asleep.
For outdoor adventures, the conditions of the Jackal's Lair are pretty good. It has two floors inside and outside, with a solid structure. The adventurers stationed there will be on duty 24 hours a day to ensure safety.
Late at night, a group of goblins will come for a 'night attack'. The dazed rookies will be kicked up by the adventurer instructors for 'defensive operations' until their last bit of physical strength and energy is exhausted.
The 'Night Raid' also woke up Old Borg. He asked unhappily why he had to go to all this trouble, "Isn't it good to let those rookies sleep? Everyone will be relaxed."
The adventurer who led the team smiled and explained: "This is the rule of Mr. Hugo. He said that after the customer pays, they should get a full range of experiences, so that they can brag with peace of mind when they go back.
And if you don’t exhaust these rookies’ energy, you don’t know what trouble they will cause next. If they sneak out and act alone, they will be in big trouble, and any damage will ruin our business reputation.”
Old Borg could only smile bitterly at this, thinking: "Victor Hugo is really thoughtful in order to make money."
In the next two days, similar things continued to happen. The rookies actually grew up a lot during the continuous "adventures" and learned a lot while enjoying themselves.
When the carriage arrived at the Bloodstream Canyon, a bloody adventurer suddenly ran over from the roadside and shouted: "The undead in the canyon have counterattacked. The situation is critical. Have you brought the 'Evil Spirit Oil'?"
