Chapter 8 Rewards (Part 2)

A bonfire blazing in a town clearing under a brilliant starry sky

There are always three or five confidantes and friends in life, so Romon invited his friends, Farfer and Nick, to share the prey.

The three of them sat in a circle around the bonfire, the hot and bright flames swaying and swaying with the wind.

Romon held the wooden stick in one hand and carefully watched the flames. The tongue of flame wrapped around the two pig legs. Romon rolled and adjusted his position, carefully controlling the heat.

Under the burning of the flame, the prey makes crackling sounds one after another, the fat under the skin bursts due to the high temperature, and the attractive aroma gradually dissipates.

"Romon, why do you want us today?" Farfell stared blankly at the barbecue in Romon's hand. He is a good friend of Romon, but because Romon was busy with the druid's He didn't have time to practice, and he didn't have any close contact with him for a long time. When he saw it, he just said hello.

Someone in the Farfell family served as a soldier for the lord in the past, and they were well-off for a while, but they failed to survive the battles again and again, so the family background also fell down. My family is not very well-off, and I was used to starvation when I was a teenager. I look skinny, but I like eating meat very much. However, he is agile and has a lot of strength.

"Why didn't I think of you?" Romon spread out one hand, lifted the roast pig on the other hand, and made a framed expression, "Isn't it just after getting a prey today? Immediately call for you to come and eat."

"It's a pity that you still said that you have been thinking about your old friend." Nick expressed grief: "Me and Farfell usually want to find you, but we don't know where you are hiding."

"I'm not avoiding you." Romon explained with some embarrassment, looked down at Huohou, and muttered, "I'm just busy with druid training."

Young people are the most face-saving, so it was naturally the case with Romon in the past. Whenever he imagined in his dreams in the past that he returned home in front of his friends with a proud look, he would be extra focused. At the same time, I am also very concerned about my image in front of my friends - I hope to communicate with them after becoming a druid.

"Then you won't be a druid now?" Nick felt a little strange in his heart and asked.

"It's not that I won't do it." Romon laughed to hide his embarrassment.

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

"Ah!" Romon sighed a long time, showing a helpless look: "I have to think about life first."

Farfell and Nick were a little embarrassed. They were about the same age as Romon, just teenagers, but unlike Romon who had no parents and had to rely on their own strength to take care of themselves.

The three of them were speechless for a while, and the town under the starry sky also fell silent, except for the crackling of roasted pigs, there was no sound.

"En..." After a long time, Romon raised the wooden stick and carefully observed the roasted pork leg. The golden skin looked crispy and very tempting. White air rushed towards the face immediately, but the meat inside was white and showed no sign of scorched black at all.

"It smells so good..." The three of them sighed in unison, with their noses opened and closed, with expressions of joy blooming in their faces and eyes.

"It's ready to eat, share it." Seeing that the prey had been roasted, Romon said what the other two had been waiting for for a long time.

After the three divided, they ate happily.

"By the way, what are your plans?" Romon ate silently, "You can't rely on your parents to support you all your life, right?"

"Well, for me, it would be great if I can serve as a soldier and eat food." Farfell ate carefully without raising his head: "My family has a short bow, and I have learned some fighting skills myself!"

Nick picked up the meat with a knife: "I don't want to be a soldier, but it would be nice if I could be a businessman."

"Then go out on an adventure with me!" Romon ate slowly and silently,

With a pensive look on his face, he knew that Farfell's real ideal was to be a knight, while Nick hoped to become a big businessman.

"It's dangerous to be an adventurer, and there is no guarantee." Farfell thought for a while, and said, "I still want to wait for when the baron will conscript."

"Then Farfer, you should go on an adventure with me!" Romon laughed, and threw a piece of meat into his mouth: "Well, it's so hot... tell me, what's the benefit of the lord issuing a reward?"

"Well, maybe it's cheaper this way, after all, it costs a lot to raise a soldier." Farfell was planning to enlist in the army, and he was no stranger to this.

"I can still select some real fighters!" Romon said while chewing the meat, "I will complete the bounty offered by the lord, and when I get the bounty, why doesn't the lord have any records?"

He then ate another piece: "Anyone who dares to take risks in the wild naturally has the courage to fight, and since he can successfully harvest and receive the bounty, it proves his wisdom and combat power."

"Well, wait until the lord wants to expand the army." Nick stopped dealing with his share, he had already eaten, and interjected: "Of course choose those who have the courage to take risks and dare to fight."

He was so nostalgic that he sucked his finger, and continued: "Not to mention our family background is clean."

Faffel originally wanted to say: "And our family lives in the town, and we have to fight to defend the town."

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

"So what shall we fight?" Nick was a little moved by this.

"Go to the forest to hunt goblins and get a reward for scalping." Romon said to Nick, then turned to look at Farfell: "I also hunted some prey, and the furs were sold directly to Aunt Jenna's tailor shop. As for the meat, We can eat some of it ourselves, and sell the other for money."

"Forest? The forest is very dangerous." Nick hesitated, "If you are not careful there, you will be attacked."

"It's okay, I'm a Druid!" Romon didn't mention apprentices this time: "I know the situation in the forest very well, just like the lines on my palm."

When Romon said this, it was actually "you can know it by looking at it, and you can't know it if you don't look at it", but neither of them heard it.

"Well, I want to be a warrior. I'm going to hunt in the forest, and I can take care of each other as a partner." Farfell agreed after thinking about it.

"Then count me in too!" Seeing that both of them were interested, Nick nodded in agreement.

"What do you want to prepare?" Romon was very happy, "I also need to buy some more things."

"I don't need to prepare anything. I have a bow at home, and I usually make some arrow shafts by myself, so I can just buy some iron arrows." Farfell calculated: "It can be done in one night after packing up." .”

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

The three of them immediately started discussing some collective common supplies and cooperation methods, and the division of labor was completed in a short time.

"If only I had meat every day!" Nick finally finished eating, with some oil on his lips, and sighed.

"That's right. Having meat to eat is better than eating black bread after all." Farfell smiled, licking his lips clean, "Hehe... Romon baked really well."

"Then if I find prey in the future, I'll take care of it." Romon said.

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

It was already dark, and the town was deserted.

Unknowingly, he came to the altar of the Goddess of the Earth, looked at the stone altar, the colorful colors indicated ancient traces, walked into the altar, and on the high platform, there was a statue. It is the goddess of the earth, Isiddis.

On the wall, there are reliefs of bulls, trees, flowers and plants. The statue of the goddess is not standing alone, but is only carved out of three-foot-sized marble on the altar. She wears a crown of flowers and plants on her head and wears a green dress. The appearance is beautiful, the female curves are faintly visible, very feminine charm, but the eyes are very expressive.

In the past, Romon used to come here to pray, especially when he tried to become a druid.

In the past, Romon participated in helping the temple to clean up when he was free, so he was allowed to read the thick "Code of the Goddess of Agriculture" in the temple

It was this piety which, in the chaotic environment in which most of the townspeople lived, attracted Eleni's attention, and she admired it so much that she often spent the whole evening teaching him to read after evening prayers, and He is allowed to enter and exit the temple of the goddess of agriculture at will, including the garden behind.

As a temple to the Goddess of Agriculture, they usually have granaries and impressive gardens.

The granary is where the temple buys food for storage, while the garden is where the priest teaches others how to plant plants correctly, identify the characteristics of animal and plant diseases, and herbal medicine.

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

More importantly, the temple has a rich collection of books that ordinary people can't imagine-a luxury that only clergy and nobles can enjoy.

The moon shone on the temple, and there was no one in the temple. The moonlight poured from the large windows with stained glass, looking brilliant and mysterious.

In the temple, countless green lights are flashing. This is also a natural force, but it only belongs to the goddess. Only when the druid believes in the goddess can he be rewarded.

Romon prayed silently. In the past, Romon had finished his work and came here to pray at night. He had to continue this habit at least on the surface.

He just walked out of the prayer hall, he couldn't help but shuddered

"Ah, it's cold, my child, you're too thinly dressed," said a voice, "under such circumstances, do you still come to pray to the goddess?"

"Pastor Tennis, I just want to tell the goddess what is in my heart." Romon said humbly.

For his words, Romon didn't want to answer or refute at all, because he knew very well that Alini greatly appreciated him, but Pastor Tennis felt very disgusted by it.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Romon left.
