On the humble dining table, a family of four chewed sour brown bread.

Savannah and Lake didn't say a word, and Willy didn't say a word.

Sitting next to Willy, Veria also felt an unusual dignified atmosphere. She, who was always lively, also ate obediently without making a sound.

The simple breakfast ended quickly.

"Willy, your mother and I are going to the wheat field. After you and Veria have cleared the table, let's go pick sweet fruit."

Because there was still wheat in the field that needed to be harvested, Lake and Shawin ate faster than the two of them.

"understood."

Willie responded.

Lake and Shawin left the house with their tools, leaving only Willy and Veria at the dining table.

"Willi, what happened today, why is everyone so serious?"

Veria swallowed the last mouthful of brown bread with difficulty, and took a mouthful of porridge with only a few grains of rice floating around.

"It's nothing, children shouldn't care too much about adults' affairs."

Willy patted Veria's head and started to clean up the tableware.

Since I can't solve the plight of my eldest brother Thorpes, I should try my best to lighten other burdens on the family.

After packing up the tableware, Willy and Veria just took a short rest, put their baskets on their backs, and set off towards the sweet-sweet fruit tree.

"so many people!"

The two were walking together when Veria suddenly pointed to the entrance of the village in front of her and shouted.

I saw a group of villagers standing around, looking at the center and discussing something in a low voice, no one moved forward.

"Go and take a look."

Veria grabbed Willy's arm, children of this age seem to be more curious about everything.

Willy smiled helplessly and could only follow his sister's request.

Very easily, the two squeezed to the front.

In the middle of the crowd, there were four men and women wearing light armor and carrying weapons, and beside them were four horses, whose hooves were covered with thick iron hooves.

"It's someone from outside the village."

Willy's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had seen people outside the village since he came to this world.

"Still no one wants to? I can mention the price for two gold rams."

One of the leading middle-aged men stretched out a slap and said to the surrounding villagers.

The villagers whispered again, but did not answer.

"Aunt Shana, what are these people doing?"

Willy didn't know why, and found out that the person standing beside him was Aunt Shanna, so he asked.

Aunt Shanna glanced at Willy and whispered, "These people are from outside, looking for something deep in the forest to the west. Passing through our village, they want to find someone to be a guide, and now they have raised the price for two A Jinle."

Hearing the words, Willy suddenly understood why the surrounding villagers were unimpressed by the two Kinghams.

On the west side of the village, there is a vast forest. On the periphery of the forest, there are ordinary fruits and plants like sweet fruit. There are no wild beasts. It is relatively safe. In the depths of the forest, there are various dangers , almost no villagers are willing to go deep. Before these outsiders, many people entered the center of the forest, but many of them never came back.

It is said that there is a paradise for beasts and a forbidden place for humans.

So it is not easy for a few outsiders to find a guide here.

"Three Kinglums! Three! Isn't this price enough to make your heart flutter?"

Vicente looked at a circle of cautious and greedy villagers and raised his voice, but still no one answered.

He was a little helpless. The villagers in these small places were always overly alert.

Two days ago, an herb trader found Vicente's four-person hiring team.

The herb trader hopes that they can go to the Morse forest west of Tam Village, pick a plant called licorice, and bring it back. After the commission is completed, the rich herb trader will give them a hundred gold le as a reward.

After hearing this, Vicente agreed immediately.

That's a hundred gold rum! Enough to let the hiring team live comfortably for several years of stability.

Afterwards, however, after learning about the details of the mission, Vicente found that the mission was not easy.

The first is the licorice grass, the target of the mission. This is a kind of herb that looks like a weed. It takes a lot of energy to find it. If you are unlucky, you might have to search for a month.

Next is the location of the mission, Morse Forest.

This is a huge forest that grows on the border of the Principality of Lanso. It is full of tigers, black bears, wild wolves and other wild beasts. The bones of many of the companions are buried there. If they want to find licorice grass as safely as possible, they must find a guide who is familiar with the terrain, so that they can avoid many deadly threats.

At the very beginning, Vicente thought that one gold ram would be able to find a suitable guide in a nearby village, but he miscalculated, and the price was raised to five gold rams, but no one was tempted, and Vicente hated it in his heart. These people are greedy.

Just when Vicente was in a hurry, a voice came from the crowd.

"Five, UU reading www.uukanshu.com five gold ram, I can take you there."

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Willy walked out of the crowd and said to Vicente.

Vicente frowned as he looked at the boy walking out of the crowd.

The young man seemed very calm, but he was too young, which did not meet his expectations.

He wanted to find an older person as a guide, who would have more experience.

"Are you really familiar with the terrain of Morse Forest?"

Vicente doesn't seem to believe Willy very much.

"For several consecutive winters, I would follow my father to the depths of Morse Forest. I am very familiar with the terrain inside."

Willie didn't lie.

In winter, many large animals in Morse Forest will choose to hibernate. Only some small animals such as hares are still foraging outside, so the safety is much higher. His father, Lake, also had hunting experience when he was young, so every winter, he would enter with Willy to find some lonely prey.

"In that case, I'd rather hire your father."

Vicente laughed.

Willy shook his head: "He will not accept your employment. He is the pillar of the family. It is impossible for him to enter Morse Forest in this dangerous season."

Vicente was silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, he felt that he could trust the calm young man in front of him.

Beside Vicente, there were a man and two women, who also looked at Willy curiously.

They have seen many villagers in small places. They are cautious, alert, and don't trust outsiders, but the young man in front of them is different from those people at all.

"Five gold rum, deal."

Vicente finally made a decision.
