Chapter 21

Horn tells vividly how he tricked the ogre and finally escaped.

The veteran drivers exclaimed repeatedly on the surface, but in fact they understood more than anyone else. Instead, Lina and Kaylin followed the rhythm of the story of Horn and their hearts were raised to their throats.

But Kalynn is not as ignorant as Lina. Although she is getting around, she soon sees out Horn's cowhide.

"Just blow you! One step of the ogre is equivalent to five or six steps for us humans. How could you run better than the ogre? Moreover, the ogres live deep in the forest, so how could they appear outside the forest?"

After intercepting Horn's lies, the red-haired girl consciously won the game back and showed a successful revenge.

Horn pretended to be disdainful and waved his hand: "If you don't believe it, go to the Adventurer Guild to check it out, the notice has been posted."

Seeing Horn so calm, Kalyn couldn't tell whether he was lying, and was struggling to see the Adventurer Guild.

Gradually, the kitchen was filled with a greedy fragrance.

Not long after, the chef brought a steaming pot of stew, which was the pheasant and hare brought back by Horn.

Everyone looked at the large pot of stewed meat on the table, equally sized pieces of meat, green vegetables, and cut carrots were soaked in the milky white soup. There was a thin layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup, and the strong fragrance made people feel salivation.

The heroic adventurer is not so particular about eating, so he picks up a big spoon and puts it in a bowl.

Horn put a bowl of himself, and used a spoon to send the oily soup to his mouth and blew it into his mouth. A warm current slid down his throat and his stomach. He raised his head and let out a breath of heat.

How cool is it!

"Ah~! Comfortable! You guys wait!" Dad Parker wiped the soup stains on his mouth, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

When he came back, he brought a large bucket of wine and placed the barrel on the table beside him: "I won't go back if I'm drunk tonight!"

The atmosphere suddenly became warm, and the men ate the wine with big bowls of meat.

Papa Parker held a wine glass with one hand and stepped on the chair with his feet, his fingers flipped up and down with his mouth: "Brother Horn! Let me tell you! Back then! On the glacier! I fought with the barbarian chief for three days and three nights..."

Horn was shocked and actually smiled in his heart, but he was not wasting his time. On the one hand, bragging with Dad Parker and others was an interesting pastime. On the other hand, Dad Parker and other seniors were deliberately or unintentionally teaching their adventure experience when bragging.

This has benefited Horn, who is preparing to develop on the adventurer's path, and he has thought of joining the Chaser Adventure Squad, but he will only become a burden if he joins the Chaser Adventure Squad.

Horn has his own pride, and he will never allow himself to become a rice worm.

Crunch ~!

When everyone was joking, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

"Sorry, the tavern will not accept foreign visitors these days."

"I'm here to find Lord Rock Shield."

Horn heard the conversation between the red-haired girl and another person, and the voice of the other person was somewhat familiar. He turned his head and found that it was the manager of the Adventurers Guild.

"Auston, have you found the ogre?"

Manager Auston was slightly stunned when he saw Horn, and then reacted: "Mr. Horn, you are here too, that's great."

Papa Parker looked at Horn with a look of surprise: "You really encountered an ogre?"

Horn shrugged.

Manager Auston walked to the table and saluted Pandr Rock Shield: "I'm sorry to bother you, Lord Pandr, the ogre ran out of the forest, and the Adventurers Guild in Deer Antlers need your help."

The captain of the Chaser Adventure Team, Pandr Rock Shield, calmly wiped his beard: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"This afternoon, an adventurer, Mr. Horn, ran to the Adventurers Guild to report the news. Ogres appeared outside the forest. According to the information provided by Mr. Horn, our people found the skeleton of the stone-toothed wild boar and the traces of the ogres. A total of five different ogres were found. There was only so much information. It was too late at that time, and our people dared not continue to explore."

The red-haired girl covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Horn. Horn was secretly happy. There were really five ogres.

Manager Auston continued: "Old Lord Rock Shield, the power of ogres is too strong. Now the adventurers in the town dare not enter the forest. If things are not resolved for a long time, it will inevitably cause large-scale outflow of adventurers. The Council is very anxious and decided to gather strength to expel the ogres. This operation requires a leader, you have a high reputation, and the Council hopes that you can carry this banner."

"Let me take the lead, no problem, but Mr. Manager," Rock Shield paused: "The five ogres, even the complete hunter adventure team, have to take certain risks, and now the three of us."

As he said that, he pointed to the two companions beside him, one of whom was a uniformly sensible warrior, Krell Flash Blade, and the other was a thief, Alves Dark Dagger, the complete hunter adventure team, also a mage and a hunter, but both have something to do and leave temporarily.

It was precisely because of the lack of members that the Chaser Adventure Team was unable to take the mission in a short time that Pande Stone Shield brought his companions and daughter to visit his old friends in Lujiao Town.

"If there are no other mid-level professionals joining, I can't use the lives of the team members as a bet."

Manager Auston nodded in understanding: "In addition to you three, there are two middle-level pros in Deer Antler Town, a warrior and a hunter."

"Don't have magical power?" Krell Fringer frowned slightly: "I am frank, if there is no magical support, I don't want to fight the ogres."

"The Council also thought of this. There are ten intermediate scrolls in the Adventurers Guild that can be used for emergency response."

Manager Auston turned to Horn: "Mr. Horn, there are only two mage apprentices in Deer Antler Town now, so please help with the battle."

Horn raised his eyebrows.

Using a magic scroll is not as simple as tearing it apart. The moment you shoot it out requires mental guidance. Although other professions can also be used, professional mages with strong mental power can use it better.

It's like the same gun. Ordinary people know that the method can be used, but professional soldiers must be much more accurate in fighting.

That being the case, Horn does not want to participate in such a dangerous battle.

"Mr. Manager, I am just a magic apprentice and can't bear such a heavy responsibility. The guild should go to Baiyan City to hire a formal mage."

"Hmph! You don't know yet!" The red-haired girl snorted proudly and snatched the conversation: "A magic master came to the imperial capital and held an exchange meeting in Patch City. Almost all the official mages from the Eastern Province went, and my uncle also went."

"That's it," Manager Auston shrugged helplessly: "It will take three or four days to rush back from Patch City. The villages outside the forest may be in danger at any time, and we can't wait."

Horn frowned slightly, then stretched out and stared at Manager Auston.
