Chapter 0007: The Undead Soldier

Monster! A monster has appeared!

Aero, who was watching from the side, took a glance at the little girl's attire and felt a sense of understanding.

However, there are others whom we absolutely do not welcome. They are thieves! They are robbers! They are monsters that disturb our lives! This despicable thief has repeatedly stolen many things from our townspeople, thinking that we would continue to tolerate his audacity! But he is mistaken! Today, we will capture this guy and hang him from a tree branch, allowing him to face the consequences of being a thief!

That is a skeleton

There! In front of that window!

After a day with no assignments, having finished dinner and feeling well-rested, Airo led Blade, Buffy, and Napa to leave the guild once again

No way

The round cheese brandished the torch in its hand, pointing at the deserted house with great vigor. The strongest of the townsfolk immediately charged into the house like enraged bulls

The little girl raised her head slightly in confusion, looking at the mayor and the townspeople. But at that moment, the skeleton approached her from behind, raising the broken sword in its hand and without hesitation, brought it down towards the little girl's head

After all, he has hardly ever been regarded favorably by others since childhood

Aero: "Ah, I understand"

This monster must have been summoned by her ... ... it must be !

Will such a result satisfy Airo?

The little girl trembled in fear, as if she wanted to say something, yet dared not utter a word

Entering the square, one can see dozens of young men bustling about, holding pitchforks and torches, gathered there, while the mayor, resembling a round cheese, stands in the center of the square. It is evident that this assembly was called by the mayor.

The team advanced slowly along the street, with the round-cheese town mayor holding a torch at the front, shouting loudly and fiercely, as if merely raising his voice a couple more times would be enough to drive the thieves out.

Although Airo still wanted to maintain a smile on his face, there was still a hint of twitching in that smile

Approximately three minutes later, several townspeople emerged from the building, dragging a figure with them

Just as the round cheese was aggressively interrogating the little girl, a townsman involuntarily pointed towards the end of the street, extending his hand in that direction

Accompanied by the cries of the round cheese, the burly man who had just been holding the little girl released his grip, gritting his teeth as he raised the pitchfork in his hand and charged forward. However, the villagers, lacking any combat experience, were immediately struck with fear upon facing the skeletal figure, and each one with a pitchfork ended up missing entirely, instead being struck on the shoulder and back by the broken sword wielded by the undead soldier.

With a single sound, Blade's massive body firmly shielded the figure of the little girl, while the wooden stick in his hand also intercepted the broken sword of the skeleton

As he spoke, the mayor of Round Cheese glanced over at Airo. There were not many newcomers in the town, and the other townsfolk turned to look at Airo as well, their eyes filled with confusion

Wait for that "event" to occur

But this is not a problem, as this is not something that can be achieved quickly.

Hey! I am asking you a question! Did you steal so many of our things?

The skeleton emitted a "gaga" sound as it slowly approached the crowd

Under the protection of the massive figure of Blade, Airo quickly made his way to the front. Before him, two strong men were forcing a small body to kneel in front of the round cheese.

Magic ... ... monsters ... ... !

How could this thief lie in wait in the town for several months, stealing so many things, and then suddenly be caught in less than half an hour of patrol one night

Who

The azure light gradually intensified, accompanied by the cacophony of sounds and books, as something... slowly emerged.

The streets at night are filled with an atmosphere of darkness

Ailuo looked at the little girl surrounded by everyone, his brows furrowing even more. However, due to business etiquette, he found it inconvenient to speak up at this moment

Ga ... ... Ga Ga ... ...

The little girl was even more frightened; her body trembled more violently, and her entire face was streaked with tears, as if one more scare would cause her to faint outright

Blaide! Save the person!

Just as Ai Luo was contemplating how to advertise next, a townsman suddenly roared loudly

If, at the last moment, that matter still has not occurred

Everyone saw ... ...

The girl was held by the arms by two strong men, her face filled with fear, tears of fright dripping down in a steady stream, her lips turning pale from terror

Hello, what is that...?

Aero does not mind this behavior, as the mayor probably never considered that he could catch the thief through such means. Perhaps enhancing his prestige among the townspeople is more practical than capturing the thief.

Accompanying the flickering light, there was also the sound of a hard object striking the ground.

Caught it ! ! !

The skeleton's sword appeared to be extremely dull at first glance, and the two strong men fell to the ground, clutching their wounds. However, the sight of blood gushing from their injuries terrified the other townsfolk, extinguishing their will to fight. They quickly retreated, soon leaving the little girl exposed directly in front of the skeleton

Thief! Capture the thief!

Of course, it is impossible

Aero saw the little liquor and immediately stepped forward to greet it. The bar owner nodded slightly and then turned to look in the direction of the mayor, falling silent.

I believe you all must be aware! Recently, many strangers have come to our Pelican Town! Among them, there are some whom we welcome, hoping they can join and enrich our little town's family of friends! We only hope that these strangers do not ruin their relationships due to excessive greed!

From a great distance, one can hear the shouts coming from the square of Pelican Town

The nearby spirits snorted and turned to say: "It's resolved. This is how our town has always dealt with problems. Go home and get some sleep, then pack your things and leave while you haven't lost too much yet."

At first, there were only one or two people, but as those gazing in that direction could not retract their eyes, others also began to look in that direction

Even though there are many people, when have these townsfolk truly encountered a real monster? Especially the sight of these dead bones moving again is enough to terrify them to the core

Watching the team begin to head towards the street in the west under the mayor's leadership, Airo placed his hands on his hips and chuckled softly, "Is this a thief capture or a battle? The opponent is merely a thief; can such a grand operation really catch him?"

In the midst of that darkness, a bluish-green light emerged from within the shadows

Upon hearing the exclamation, Blade immediately raised the wooden club in his hand and rushed in front of Airo to stand guard. Although this fellow was not very bright, he had firmly remembered the warrior code that had been taught to him, which brought Airo a sense of comfort

Upon hearing that she was to be sold, the little girl convulsed in a certain part of her body, and her already frail physique could no longer cope, causing her to collapse immediately

With the mayor's shout, the crowd that had just been fixated on the Song of the Mermaid immediately turned around, raising their arms in cheers. They all lifted their pitchforks, appearing as if they were ready to engage in a fight with someone

The old and dilapidated buildings on both sides stand tall under the cover of night, resembling tombstones in a graveyard at first glance

The round cheese was now also stunned, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. Perhaps it was his footsteps that provoked the skeleton; the death soldier suddenly let out a series of intense cawing sounds, raising the broken sword in his hand and swiftly charging towards the round cheese

The round cheese bellowed loudly, embodying the spirit of making a grand statement, at this moment fully displaying the mayor's authority.

The townsfolk who had just shouted pointed at a dilapidated house that clearly had been uninhabited for a long time. A shadow appeared at the window on the second floor, and from that silhouette, it was evident that it was a human figure, and moreover, a person of petite stature

As long as the thief is not apprehended, if a few more thefts occur, it is only natural that people will think of their own guild, and things will naturally develop in a positive direction

Seeing this, Blade felt a twinge of reluctance and lifted the round stick in his hand, intending to rush forward. However, before taking a step, he glanced at his president. Noticing that Airo had still not made any indication, he hesitated for a moment, then retracted his foot and stood beside Airo

After handing the little girl over to the round cheese and the small spirits for support, Ailuo quickly turned around and saw that Blade was now engaged in combat with the death soldier.

Not saying anything? Not saying anything is the same as defaulting! Even if you are a child, stealing is stealing! I now declare, in my capacity as the mayor of Pelican Town, that because you have stolen so many things from our town, you have two choices! First, you must repay a fine of approximately 5 silver coins to our town! Second, you can be sold, and the money from your sale will be used to repay our debt!

Have you ever seen anyone summon monsters to attack themselves

The round cheese, with its big belly, looked at the little girl in front of him with a cheerful expression. He brought the torch in his hand closer to the little girl and shouted sternly: "Who are you? There is no one like you in our town! You must be the one who has stolen so many of our things, you little thief!"

Napa: "Look at her outfit..."

The promise of one gold coin has already been put forth, and if this thief from hetushucom.com is indeed caught, it would represent a significant blow to the reputation of my guild

Ka---!

The mayor, having some insight, immediately pointed at the little girl and shouted a curse.

The companion, Xiao Lie Jiu, appeared empty-handed, seemingly carrying no weapons or tools. Dressed in a bartender's outfit, he looked less like someone who would catch thieves and more like someone preparing to work at a bar. This tavern owner walked at the back of the group, side by side with Airo and the others, and leisurely opened his mouth to say: "In a small town with few people, such matters are all about mutual assistance; whenever there is a problem, everyone is accustomed to acting together."

A human skeleton with eyes shimmering with a bluish light, draped in tattered rags, holding a battered sword stained with an unknown amount of blood

Oh no! Help... Help!

Aero is not concerned about being underestimated

Aero quickly stepped forward and embraced the little girl, who was already so frightened that her legs had gone weak, supporting her back to the townspeople. Due to Aero's shout just now, the townspeople momentarily had no objections, and Round Cheese reacted even faster, hurriedly stepping forward to lend a hand

He is waiting

That is a girl, with short grayish-white hair, dressed in a tattered robe, her hands and feet appearing extremely frail, and definitely not older than 12 years of age

Following behind the crowd, Xiao Lie Jiu glanced at Ai Luo beside him and coldly said: "Therefore, I advise you. There is really no future in being an adventurer in this small town. The slimes can only be said to have coincidentally allowed you to take on a quest, but more often than not, it is like this, with the townsfolk solving problems together."

However, the issue of thieves always needs to be addressed

Aero could not let this end just like that, so he hurriedly pushed through the townsfolk in front of him to get a closer look at what this thief actually looked like

Although this is the case, Airo's plan requires him to proceed with this team
