Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Mr. Keir, hello. I am the humble servant of the great Saturn, the trainee shepherd Arjano Cassia." The trainee shepherd Cassia introduced himself and gave a courtesy to Zhao Ji.

"Hello, Cassia Shepherd, I'm Joe Keel, from a distant country." Zhao Ji also introduced himself, and in response, he also followed the etiquette of local civilians.

"That's right, your story of hunting slime monsters has spread throughout the streets of Kendall City. As a warrior who created such a testament to your courage and protected the fields from encroachment. My superior, Weltz Shepherd will be here In the afternoon, at the wild grape market, I will award you the sixth-class defense medal of the church. Please go to the market with me to receive the reward after dinner." Cassia's trainee shepherd looked at Zhao Ji and made an invitation in a clear tone.

Zhao Ji was a little surprised. He had never dealt with the God of Saturn before, because these local churches rarely have a sense of existence. The Church of the God of Saturn is the one that Zhao Ji thinks has the most sense of existence, and there are many ways to enter It was introduced by an acquaintance.

Most of Zhao Ji's friends are people from the chamber of commerce, apprentices from the artisan district, and drinkers from taverns.

The members of the chamber of commerce seem to have their own beliefs, but Zhao Ji has never been lured into it. After all, as far as Zhao Ji knows, the people who believe in the chamber of commerce are all high-level executives of the chamber of commerce, and he himself is not qualified.

The god of craftsmen that craftsmen believe in is only formal craftsmen who have the right to join. Of course, belief in the god of craftsmen does not require qualifications, and many apprentices believe in this.

The drinkers I met in the tavern believed in everything, but they were all pan-believers, and none of them officially joined the church.

So, the people from the Church of Saturn suddenly said that they would award him a medal for hunting many slime monsters, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

However, just as Zhao Ji was stunned, he saw President Huwei standing behind the trainee shepherd, and he gestured a thumbs up at Zhao Ji, signaling Zhao Ji to agree to come down.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji agreed: "Okay, okay, this is my honor, and it is what every Kendall person living here should do to contribute to the peace and security of Kendall City. I am honored to have A commendation from the Church of the Saturnalia. In fact, I have only done a little thing, so I cannot afford such a commendation."

Seeing that Zhao Ji agreed to come down, the trainee shepherd Cassia breathed a sigh of relief, then said goodbye to Zhao Ji and President Foxtail, and said that after Mr. Keir finished his meal in the afternoon, he would come to find him again and take him to participate in the market activities .

After the trainee shepherd left, Zhao Ji immediately came to President Foxtail and wanted to ask him what was going on. However, President Foxtail put his finger on his lips, signaling Zhao Ji not to speak yet.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Jineng saw from the window of President Foxtail's house that the trainee shepherd of the god of agriculture left the chamber of commerce and returned to the temple in the upper city. President Foxtail returned to his chair, motioned for Zhao Ji to sit down, and then spoke: "Let me ask you first, do you know what day it is?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, is this a brain teaser for me? As a time traveler, how would I know what your local life is like? He hasn't been here for a full year.

"It's the Harvest Festival in a few days, right? It's halfway through autumn now, um, it's probably mid-October now?" Zhao Ji guessed casually.

President Foxtail touched his beard: "It's not wrong, the guess is roughly correct. These days are the time when Kendall City harvests the wheat in the field."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Ji realized that the wheat in the field was ripe and it was time to harvest. And the rain a few days ago: "The rain a few days ago! Is it because of the rain a few days ago?"

"That's right, it rained for two days in a row a few days ago. Hey, there is no rain at this time in previous years. A lot of the wheat that was harvested but not put into the awning was wet, and a lot of it was still there." The wheat in the field was also watered by the rain. The water volume of the Kendall River increased a little in those two days, and the water from the swamp in the south of the city overflowed into the fields in the southeast of the town.

Many slime monsters also took the opportunity to run into the fields and injured several people. Although farmers later wiped them out, the atmosphere of panic made many farmers reluctant to go to the fields. "

Zhao Ji was a little strange: "It's quite tragic that this happened at this critical moment, but what does this have to do with me? Besides, farmers don't go down to harvest wheat. What do they eat in winter? Let me go, and I have to grab the wheat as much as possible gone."

President Foxtail sighed: "Fortunately, it only rained for two days, and these days are sunny. Farmers took the rain-drenched wheat to dry in the sun, and the rain-drenched wheat in the field was also rushing to harvest. It's just that To the southeast of the town, on the east side of the swamp, that land belongs to Baron Kendall. The farmers don’t want to farm because it’s not their own land.”

Zhao Ji suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but what does this have to do with the Saturnalia Church? Kendall County is not run by the Saturnalia Church, and Baron Kendall is not a senior member of the Saturnia Church. Why are they so anxious?"

"You can't speak like this anywhere with your mouth. If you let the two hear it, you will definitely be caught in prison and taste the delicious food inside." President Foxtail raised his eyebrows, pointed and scolded anxiously. road.

Zhao Ji smacked his mouth: "Bah, I won't do it again. I don't want to eat anything in the prison."

"The Church of Saturn and Baron Kendall have an agreement with each other. Although I don't know what it is, the Church of Saturn must guarantee the food security of Kendall City, and the Baron's own field food must be guaranteed."

At this moment, Zhao Ji understood a little bit. The purpose of awarding him the medal was to appease the farmers who were unwilling to go to the fields. The Church of the God of Saturn must have found out that he had been hunting slime monsters in the west of the swamp, but the farmers didn't know. The farmers might have only heard about Zhao Ji's hunting slime monsters, but they didn't know the specific situation. As long as the farmers were fooled into harvesting the grain from the baron's fields, and later found out that they were fooled, the Church of the God of Saturn probably had other ways to deal with it.

Zhao Ji told President Foxtail his thoughts, and President Foxtail nodded, affirming that Zhao Ji's thoughts were generally correct, but he was thinking too much about Zhao Ji's idea that there would be another way to deal with the Saturnalia Church. .

Is Keel short of money? lack. What's up with Kiel? He can hunt slime monsters. Where in the swamp are slime monsters not being hunted in droves? East of the swamp. Will Kiel go hunting the slime monsters in the eastern swamp afterward? For sure.

After the old Foxtail President asked and answered himself, he looked into Zhao Ji's eyes and came to a conclusion: "So, the Saturnalia Church actually doesn't need to do anything, you will clean up those slime monsters by yourself later. They just need to During the promotion, the time was deliberately confused, so that the farmers could not figure out whether you hunted the slime monsters on the east side of the swamp or the slime monsters on the west side of the swamp first. After a long time, no one will remember. So they issued a medal, and this crisis will It's automated."

Zhao Ji blurted out: "After that, they didn't have to worry about slime monsters infesting the fields for a long time. And my spontaneous hunting was entangled with the Saturnalia Church. Maybe some people thought it was the slime monsters they invited me to hunt. .It is not certain that someone can be promoted because of this. Is this a fish with a lot of food?"

"Hahaha, but it's a win-win thing, so I said it's a good thing and let you agree. If you don't agree, then you have no place in Kendall City. Is this an idiom?" Fox President Tail stroked his beard with a smile.

Zhao Ji nodded angrily: "Ang."
