Players' NPC boss
Chapter 21 Mysterious Cargo
The guards cleaned up the messy attack scene, and some of them remained alert. The Goblin reconnaissance troops were very intelligent. They first destroyed the wheels of the carriages that transported the goods, so that the caravan could not leave with the goods.
Either stay where they are and fight, risking being attacked by the Goblin army to stay where they are to pack up the goods, or abandon the goods and escape.
But in contrast to the guards' nervousness, Herbie propped up an exquisite antique table among the scattered goods, invited Blaze to sit down, and leisurely brewed flower tea.
"Oh, it really scared me. I always thought it was a rumor that the Black Beast Knight had regained his sanity."
Herbie handed a cup of tea to Blaze, but Blaze did not drink it, and pushed it to the chicken on the side. The chicken stepped its claws into the teacup and let out a long sigh of comfort.
"Well... it doesn't look like it's completely untied."
Herbie stared at Blaze's helmet, his golden eyes sparkling between his thick eyelashes. Blaze was a little scared by Herbie's stare. He felt like he was being studied from inside to outside.
"You should have nothing to do. I'll take my leave first."
"Don't leave in a hurry. [Hermes's Traveling Hat] hasn't rewarded you for your generosity yet." Herbie's eyes turned and he pointed at the corpse of the fast-walking ostrich with a smile.
"How about this?"
The guard not far away couldn't help but look back at his employer. Even the nomads living in remote areas knew how noble the blessed were. They actually used a corpse to keep people.
But what surprised the guard was that Blaze really stopped.
This person...
Even when he was attacked by goblins, he remained calm and even indifferent in the face of casualties. And after Blaze appeared, he analyzed every move of Blaze as if he was studying with a magnifying glass, even the tiny movement of Blaze turning his eyes to look at the fast-walking ostrich was dissected separately as a bargaining chip.
If Hebi hadn't been wearing a helmet, which made him think that his analysis was just a guess, he would have been completely controlled by the other party.
So Blaze decided to take back the initiative.
"No need, you have a partner of the blessed, and it's a very rare [Singer]. If this [Singer] takes action, you can easily deal with these goblins."
Although Blaze lowered his voice, the guards around him kept paying attention to him, the blessed, so they heard every word of his clearly.
"Maybe I'm meddling in other people's business."
Herbi's expression froze. She knew that the guards around her were dissatisfied, but they were just suppressing it. But Blaze's words were like holding a torch and repeatedly approaching a pile of explosives, which could explode at any time.
"No, no, no! Please sit down, please sit down, please sit down! Please be sure to accept this corpse of the ostrich!" Hebi pushed the antique chair next to Blaze with a little flattery, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear when their faces were extremely close.
"I want to make a deal with you."
"Okay."
Blazer did not return to the table filled with the fragrance of An Yi flower tea, but walked to the corpse of the fast-walking ostrich and began to dissect the corpse with the goblin's worn-out dagger.
Only creatures defeated by the blessed will turn into dust, and ordinary ones will become corpses after being killed. Someone once complained that the blessed cannot survive alone in the wild because all the animals and plants they defeated will turn into dust unless there are food drops.
However, if there is a profession called [Chef], the corpse can be left.
"Ugh——" Hebi covered his mouth and took a step back, and his golden eyes did not dare to look at Blazer at all.
This is Blazer's purpose. The other party's observation ability and thinking that are comparable to skills are too terrible. Only by lowering the other party to his own level can a fair trade negotiation be carried out.
But this level is not enough, Blazer whispered [Translation].
[Skill proficiency increased]
[Translation F-E]
The soul of the fast-walking ostrich is standing next to its own corpse. Because it did not die at the hands of the blessed, its soul will become a wandering soul.
The language of the dead is opposite to that of the living. [Translation E] can perform a translation once, allowing Blaze to understand the language of the wandering soul of the dead, but this language is limited to human language. The reason why he can talk to chickens is purely because chickens can speak human language.
When he reaches [Translation E], he can perform two translations, translating the language of the dead into the language of the living, and then translating it into the language he can understand.
[Fuck! I am so unlucky. What kind of secret transportation and secret identity can I do? I can't find a blessed person as a guard. I was stabbed to death by a goblin. I was only one day away from full attendance this month! ]
[The woman in the carriage can't even do her job well. She's useless. No wonder she was driven away]
[She wants to go to the theater to perform in this state]
The soul of the ostrich left without any lingering feelings after a while of spitting foul words. The bird's mind is surprisingly simple.
"In fact, there have been some power struggles within the running branch of [Hermes's Brigade Hat] recently. As a senior partner, I have become the target of concentrated fire because I am an ordinary person, so I don't have enough funds to hire foreigners."
"I thought that well-trained soldiers would be enough to deal with it for a while, but I didn't expect to be attacked by goblins, and they happened to be a very rare group of goblins, which caused our casualties."
Hebi wiped the tears from his eyes and told their tragic experience.
But Blazer was completely immersed in dissecting the corpse and did not show any expression.
"You... have been dissecting the corpse and have not listened to me at all."
"Because you have not said a word of truth."
The stranger was willing to accept the commission even if it was cheap herbs as a reward, especially since Hebi was a senior partner of [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. Once the stranger opened his mouth, he would rush to accept the commission, and even if he did not accept it, he would stick to it like a sticky candy.
Judging from the words of the fast-walking ostrich, this embarrassing situation of only being able to hire ordinary people as guards may be related to the person in the carriage.
[Fast-walking ostrich leg bones*2/fast-walking ostrich spine*1/fast-walking ostrich claws*2]
Blazer put these bones in the warehouse and stood up. There was no expression on Hebi's face, and his golden eyes were like some kind of cold-blooded snake. I am afraid this is the true appearance of [Hermes's Traveling Hat], the senior partner of the running branch, Herbi Hermes.
"Someone has put a bounty on her life."
"Then you should look for the Strangers, they are numerous and powerful."
"The Strangers are the ones who put a bounty on Audrey."
