Chapter 88 86. Aidin.Krall
A thin mist covered the farm where there was no sunlight all year round. On both sides of the road, wheat ears as tall as two people rubbed against each other in the wind, making a fine rustling sound.
The tinnitus gradually worsened. Aidin pressed his throbbing temple, and his knuckles turned blue from excessive force.
Some nonexistent whispers echoed in my head, as annoying as the sound of chains dragging across stone slabs.
Aidin's steps unconsciously slowed down. He staggered and found that his companion in front of him had already walked more than ten steps, and his figure was about to be swallowed up by the swaying wheat waves...
In a trance, a warm feeling suddenly flowed across my spine like a stream, and a light golden halo spread from my shoulders and neck to my entire body.
The nagging buzzing sound disappeared in an instant. Even if it was only temporary, it made Aidin feel extremely comfortable.
"Are you okay? If you feel unwell, you should have told me earlier!" The pastor gently helped up the staggering Aidin with his freckled face blocking the drooping ears of wheat.
Shaking his gradually clearing head, Aidin came out of this somewhat ambiguous posture.
"Sorry for my question, thank you, Fan..."
The name got stuck on the tip of my tongue. Pastor...what was his name?
The pastor seemed not to notice this, and just smiled and said, "We are teammates, let's go, we are going to be separated from them."
Yes, we can’t be out of touch!
The Abyss requires more coordination than any other dungeon.
I quickly caught up with them and found them standing in front of a barn door.
The thieves were trying to open the lock, and the soldier saw them catching up and scolded them, "Why are you so slow? Is this guy holding you back?"
The soldier's eyes were on Aidin, but the priest stepped forward and said, "I was accidentally delayed. I'm very sorry."
Seeing that the priest had taken the responsibility, the warrior stopped talking and waited quietly for the thief to open the lock.
Click——
“Done!”
As the thief whistled, the barn door was pushed open, and the rotten oak bolt made a teeth-grinding friction sound.
After entering, everyone was shocked by the sight before them - gold coins, a barn full of gold coins!
The thief's deerskin boots sank into the pile of gold coins. He picked up one and examined it carefully. "A gold coin from the Old Kingdom! I've won the jackpot!"
The warriors and thieves pounced forward, countless gold coins were picked up and fell through their fingers.
"Hahaha! This must be the secret treasure of this floor!" The warrior emptied his backpack directly and stuffed handfuls of gold coins into it.
The priest was relatively restrained, but his eyes were gleaming with excitement.
Only the newcomer, Aidin, stood outside the barn in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"You...what are you doing?"
In front of Aidin's eyes, there was not a single gold coin they were talking about, only a warehouse full of grain.
Buzz——
The tinnitus started again, and when I looked up again, the grain had disappeared, replaced by a warehouse full of gold coins.
The warrior's backpack was already full of gold coins and there was no room for anything else.
"No, this is not right, this is a trap! Get out now!"
Aidin tried his best to remind them loudly, but the warriors and thieves turned a deaf ear to him and only focused on collecting their "gold coins".
The priest seemed to be in a better situation, at least she heard Aidin's reminder, but her first reaction was to turn around and cast [Remove Curse] for her two completely fallen teammates.
Her subconscious kindness made her miss the opportunity to escape.
Grass claws with a rotten smell passed in front of Aidin, and one straw man after another emerged from the wheat fields on both sides.
Aidin was forced to retreat step by step and was almost caught several times.
When I got far enough back, I looked back and saw that the scarecrows had already filled the barn...
We should save them... at least we should save the priest...
Even though I was thinking this, my feet were still running wildly along the way I came.
The auditory hallucination appeared again. This time, no one helped me to dispel it. Can I still... escape?
It was getting darker and darker around him. Aidin stretched out his hand, trying to pull away the darkness in front of him.
"Um?"
The coarse cloth curtains were suddenly pulled open, and the midsummer morning light was like poured hot milk, the bright light stung his eyelashes and trembled.
Aidin reflexively raised his elbows to cover his eyes, moved his body and sat up against the wall.
He rested the back of his head against the cold wall and pressed his throbbing temples with his palms, as if this could force the fragments of the dream out of his mind.
The exhaustion after the nightmare made him feel like he had been put in a sack and beaten all night.
When his eyes swept over the strange woman beside him, her long chestnut hair spread out on the crumpled pillow.
What did you do last night?
Oh, yes, mushrooms!
He picked up the half remaining bag of green mushrooms beside the bed and threw them all into the trash can with a look of disgust.
“Damn sleep aid.”
I bought some of this thing because I heard it could help me sleep, but I didn't expect that it actually helped me sleep, but I had this kind of dream!
The nightmare that hadn't haunted him for fifteen years was brought back to life by a few broken mushrooms.
Really, I said I would have a good rest and replenish my energy to go to the dungeon, but after this sleep, I feel even worse.
Anyway, there are 5 days...
Aidin buried his head in the quilt again.
"That pastor...what was his name?"
——
In the Adventurer's Guild.
Mirabelle threw the bounty acceptance record on the table. Standing next to the desk was the girl who worked the night shift last night.
"Who are these Housaire and Houset? When did they become diamond-level adventurers? When you were filling out the form, didn't you feel that these two names were wrong?"
"But...but they all have guild ID cards..." The girl felt a little aggrieved. She had always followed the rules.
"Forget it, forget it..." Mirabelle waved her hand and let the girl leave the office.
In fact, she also knew that this was not the girl's fault. It was easy for a LV56 illusionist to fool an ordinary girl.
Even if I change it myself, I may not be able to recognize it.
She was just feeling annoyed. Each of these adventurers was more troublesome than the last.
First, there was the Begon team that confidently gave away kills, and then there came such a confident Aidin who wanted to complete the team mission alone.
But what if this guy dies?
Do I have to issue another S-level crusade mission?
Mirabelle flipped through Aidin Krall's information page by page, and her eyebrows became more and more raised the more she read.
Judging from his resume, this isn't the first time this guy has done this.
He likes to accept exploration missions, whether they are solo or in a team. When he encounters a team mission, he will use illusion to get by.
Since the mission completion rate is quite high, even if it fails, a lot of useful information can be brought back. Other branches seem to have a tacit attitude towards this?
And there has been no record of serious injuries so far.
oh……
Yes, there are.
When he was a rookie, he experienced a group wipe in the Scarecrow Abyss. He was the only one who came back from the group of four. Because of the curse, he lost his sense of taste.
After that, he changed his range of activities and never went to Scarecrow Abyss again. Instead, he wandered between other dungeons and came to Dumbwind Town after the Demon Tide.
He looks like a capable guy. Anyway, there are not many diamond-level people in Yafeng Town now, so he can be allowed to have a try.
