After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Linda was a little angry and had to see what kind of turtle was hiding inside, treating him and Kafni like bacon.

"Thank you uncle for telling me." Linda bowed to express his gratitude.

Uncle Mingde warned him and Kafni: "You two, you don't want to do anything to that child, do you? If you dare to break into a private house, I will notify the law enforcement agency."

"Well, don't worry, we are all serious adventurers." Linda explained quickly: "I was recommended by the kid's friend Lulu."

"I hope so." Uncle Mingde snorted, and as he drove the carriage away, he still reminded: "Don't have any crooked ideas!"

"I really can't." Linda said helplessly.

Looking at the carriage driving away, Linda murmured in his heart, I'm sorry, even if he breaks into the house today, he will have to meet the other party.

Linda and Kafni strode to the door and knocked.

"Hello, I'm really not a bad person. Can you open the door so we can meet?"

"Why don't you come out? I know you're at home."

"If you don't open the door, I'll keep knocking."

...

Inside the house, a young girl with long brown hair curled up nervously in the quilt with her head covered.

Someone's voice entered her ears through the quilt.

Now the girl feels very scared, afraid that the man will rush in, pull her out because she is smelly and dirty, and punish her.

Her mother was punished by the robbers for opening the door without permission.

From then on, no matter who knocked on the door, she would never open it except for the captain who "cared" about her the most!

The person who came this time was very smart and actually lied that he was Lulu's friend.

But someone like Lulu would never have any friends.

In other words, the guy outside was lying to her!

Never open the door.

The girl closed her eyes tightly, covered her ears, and prayed that the person outside would leave quickly.

After shouting for a while, the other party calmed down a little.

Just as she was about to be happy, the voice rang out again, with a different tone.

"Little sister, uncle likes your doll and is willing to buy it at a high price. Can you come forward and discuss cooperation matters?"

"Sell it to me. I'll buy it for 5 silver coins each."

A few more seconds passed.

"10 silver coins, no, 2 gold coins for each. I really like your handmade dolls!"

The girl opened the quilt a little, her heart pounding.

2. 2 gold coins each?

With so much money, she won’t have to worry about food for the next year!

And there will be plenty of money left over to buy new puppet games!

The girl was very tempted, but her remaining rationality told her that this must be a trick to trick her out, and once the door was opened, all kinds of terrible things would be done to her.

"A moldy, smelly guy like you who stays in the house doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

"As an adventurer, you don't dare to venture into the World Tree. You are such a loser!"

"Let me punish you severely with my stick!"

The girl remembered some plots in the comic book, and she trembled and felt pain in her buttocks, as if she was being dragged into the abyss of depravity by an invisible hand...

"No, I don't want to be punished, Captain, why don't you come and save Monica?"

The girl named Monica was sobbing in fear under her quilt.

More than three years ago,

The captain "Linda" assigned her to sweep the dust in the warehouse, and she had to sweep for a long time.

In that warehouse, Monica felt more at ease than ever before.

She sweeps all the dust by herself. Except for the team leader who comes to check the hygiene, no one else will come into the warehouse. It is a safe area that belongs to her alone.

But suddenly one day, the captain disappeared, and Monica's small warehouse was sold by other team members.

Monica, who lost her home, bought this house with the help of the kind-hearted Lulu.

She dared not see anyone or go on adventures to the World Tree on weekdays, and could only make handmade dolls to supplement the family income.

Last year, I was so excited about the limited edition puppet draw that I signed my name on the Mandala family's loan flyer. The next day, someone sent me 10 gold coins.

When Monica finally collected enough gold coins and was ready to pay back the money, she found that 10 gold coins had become 50. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pay it back!

Given the ruthlessness of the Mandragora family, they would definitely capture her if she couldn't pay back the money, throw her into the tavern, and let those orcs do whatever they want with her!

The thought of that kind of thing frightened Monica so much that she almost fainted.

The man outside now might have tricked her into opening the door and then tied her up and taken her to the tavern to serve customers.

So, no matter what, she would stay in bed and would never open the door for the other party!

...

"Break the door?"

Kafni found a large pointed stone from the weed-covered garden, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the gate like a soldier holding a battering ram.

Linda wanted to agree.

But as an adventurer who knows the law and abides by it, he chose to refuse. What if he broke the door and scared the girl inside and she refused to join his adventure team?

They came to "visit the thatched cottage three times" rather than being bandits to arrest people.

Linda decided to impress the other party with sincerity.

After a while, the two pulled out the weeds in the garden, built a fire on the ground, and made delicious monster barbecue.

Juicy lava steak, crispy white rabbit, sizzling lamb shanks...

Kafni held a palm-leaf fan and was responsible for blowing air into the small house to bring the fragrance in.

Linda had a snow-white towel draped around her neck, a calm smile on her lips, and was fiddling with the monster meat in front of the barbecue grill.

Chapter 74: The Orcs Come to Debt Collection

From the information available, we can learn that the owner of the small house is an extremely socially anxious person. He is also a poor man who makes a living by making handmade dolls, and the food he eats is probably rotten cabbage or the like.

Could she refuse this sumptuous barbecue that all adventurers envied?

Eating meat is to satisfy real life, while buying her dolls at high prices is the blueprint for the future.

While grilling, Linda loudly talked about the benefits of joining his adventure team:

"Join Luanweihua, and you will be guaranteed admission to the tenth floor of the World Tree, and stay at the thirty-third floor for three years. The salary is high, with a base salary of one hundred gold. Entering the secret realm is charged separately;"

"Equipment, accommodation, and food are all included. You will also be given a scroll to return to the city. All you are required to do is obey the captain's orders. "

"Join the team now and you will get ten days of luxurious meals, a luxurious bed, and a luxurious carriage!"

Tempting voices like the devil's whispers, mixed with the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue, came into Monica's nose and ears through the gaps in the window.

She hadn't had a proper meal in over a month, and when she smelled the odor, she walked to the window foolishly, drooling, like an elf lady hypnotized by an orc.

"Eat, Monica wants to eat barbecue."

A pair of extremely pale little hands pressed on the window latch.

Seeing that Monica was about to be lured out,

At this moment, an untimely shout was heard: "Little bastard, when will you pay back the debt you owe to our Mandala Gold Shop?!"

"Hey, brother, what a coincidence, the one who beat my old cow was that guy! You must let him taste the good juice!"

"He's the one who bullied my little brother? Fuck, today I, Luke, will make him understand what it means to hit a wall!"

Outside the small house.

Three orcs came, wearing black leather jackets, carrying wooden sticks on their shoulders and looking like gangsters.

Leading the group was Luke, a boarman with thick fangs. There was cruelty in his small eyes. He cruelly weighed the wooden stick with his hands and looked viciously at Linda in front of the grill.

Then, seeing Kafni, the boarman Luke was stunned.

Kafni was squatting in front of the window, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, her big butt sticking up, her long legs under her shorts were flawless white, and her huge beauty fell softly on her knees, making the three orc brothers almost cry with greed!

Boarman Luke, get into combat mode right now!

"Old cow, old donkey, surround them and don't let them run away!"

Luke came up to the calm Linda with a grim smile and said jokingly, "You are quite bold, you are here to see me, the Debt Collector, Uncle Luke. Why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy?"

Linda finally looked up at Luke.

Just now, Kafni told him that the boar man's aura level was around 8, only one level higher than his.

But as a recovery hero, Linda's basic attributes are twice as high as those of ordinary orcs. Not to mention Luke the wild boar, even a cart full of wild boars may not be his match.

"Before I beat you up, let me ask you, what do you want from the owner of this house?" Lin Da said politely, flipping the roasted monster meat in his hands.

Luke's forehead veins were bulging, and he laughed angrily: "Okay, I'll teach you a lesson today. The owner of this house owes me 10 gold coins. With interest compounded, after a year, she still owes us 97 gold coins. If she can't pay today, this house will belong to our Mandala Gold Bank."

"The highest legal interest rate in the empire is 24%, right? Anything exceeding that is considered an illegal loan and you don't have to pay it back," said Linda.

"You're wrong." Luke sneered, "What we lent her was the 'flyer'. The initial value of the flyer was 10 gold coins, but now the price has increased. The total is 127 gold coins. Not a single copper less!"

"Oh, I see. The Mandala family is a piece of shit. They skirt around the laws of the empire every day."

Linda put the roasted monster meat on a plate and stretched his sore shoulders. The sound of bones cracking came from his body. He smiled and looked at the boarman Luke: "I'm ready, let's start."

"Arrogance, skills, pig rush!"

Luke's face turned pale. In this place called Heart City, which adventurer would dare not give face to Luke, the 'debt collector king'?

A pair of wild boar tusks were aimed at Linda and rushed forward in a straight line!

Linda folded his arms across his chest, standing still, emitting purple magical light from his body.

These lights turned into a set of half-real and half-virtual spiked armor, like a sea urchin.

Poison skill, Thorn Armor, increases defense by 30% and reflects 10% of damage to the attacker!

Among the several major attributes, defense and magic defense are the most rare. If the defense attribute exceeds the opponent's attack, then, except for being attacked in the vital parts, at most only 1 point of blood will be lost.

Linda's basic defense is 24, and the leather armor under his clothes adds another 1. After being enhanced by the skill Thorn Armor, the defense is 32.

The level 8 boarman Luke has a basic attack of at most 50, and his equipment is quite shabby. He is probably a big minion of the Mandragora family, with an attack of 60.

Luke bumped into him headfirst, and his feet were rooted like trees, motionless, feeling like a cat running fast and holding him in the stomach.

I would like to say it doesn't hurt, but it does hurt a little. But to say it hurts seems like I'm being too delicate.

A light red -40 floated above Linda's head, and his total health points were 1880.

It is equivalent to a long red blood bar, with a strand about as thin as a noodle falling off.

"Ouch!"

Luke was dizzy and dazed by the collision, and some of the damage was rebounded. He covered his head in a daze.

Linda in front of him, however, had a disdainful smile on his face and hooked his finger.

This made Luke's old cow and old donkey dumbfounded.

How could that human eat a pig lunge from their boss and still be safe and sound?

Their leader, Luke, was a level 8 adventurer. He was hit head-on by the pig's sudden advance. Even though the opponent was level 9, he was pushed back several meters and was seriously injured!

But what happened to this guy?

Not hurt at all, and even knocked their boss away?

The two orcs looked at each other secretly, and both saw something wrong in each other's eyes.

"Ahhhh!"
