Chapter 20

In a nearby mountain range there is a village that almost unnoticeable that only has about 30 houses which is for trading and where NPC lives.

"We can rest here for sometime to replenish our stamina, anyways this village's citizen are rather strict so don't talk unnecessary in front of them."

"Yes BLNK but why are we here? Isn't more faster if we take the cave in the foot of the mountain where we saw before going in this way."

"Yeah that is a shortcut but not worth of the time we will spent and also we cannot rest there to replenish our stamina."

They entered to the crude village but not only the amount of people but no guards or watchmen are keeping the security tight so they easily come to the village,

After renting a room for a place they can rest BLNK walk and look around the village and stop at some tavern.

BLNK listens to all the gossips that was they are talking and got only useless talks. Anyways he stayed for more minutes to continue to listen to them.

"Aack! What is this food? Is this some stone or what? Even the water is sour." All of the foods that served are rather tasteless or not in good condition and suddenly a discussion was brought up.

"What now? Is this village done for? We should leave immediately if those monsters come back again to us and get another goddamn people!" A women about a age of 30 blurted out.

"Ssshh how dare you raise your voice! If they hear or sense something like that we will be wipe out no matter what."

"Then let's fight! That is the only way around so atleast we can fight against them and not be annihilated one by one."

Mostly of people in the tavern reacted the same as they facing a big crisis in their village and of course they are victims by brutal act of something they mention.

"Sir and Ma'am can I ask what happen? I am BLNK an adventurer and seeing your faces and hearing the issues you faces I can't sit here waiting and doing nothing right?" He introduces himself as a adventurer so they can be trusted unlike if mercenary they were titled as money grubber which is asking more payment base on situation.

The adventurer title is a unwritten rules in middle game which is can boost your affinity to NPC and can be trusted by them easily especially villages with small population.

"Really? But we can't trust you if that is the truth and also we don't have much money or items that can be given in exchange."

"It is okay but in exchange if i save all of the other people who are seem to be kidnap as you can said will you do me a favor?"

"What is it?" They have a sad faces because of the word they heard of favor which is will be something on us can be given.

"Will you be alright if you can cook some delicious food? That way you can give me in exchange."

"Yes sure! The best chef has been kidnap and he has experience cooking in his entire time so of course please help us."

"Alright! Well if i can't come back within 6 hours maybe you can evacuate and run so I should be able to buy you some time right? So how about filling me up information regarding to them."

"Yes!"

Ting!

'So this is what it likes before the independent city was built.'

And after hearing information on how they look and what is the one that kidnapping their people.

'Oho so it seems like a bandit ah but they have a monsters on their side too. Interesting so this is the one the prospers after helping the village hah.'

"Then I will take my leave and bring my companion so see you later."

He prepares anything he needs and also called eL to prepare the quest that they received through persuading them.

"How did you know that there are problems and how did you persuade them?"

"Well if you observed closely there are no children and mostly only adults can be seen and looking at the foods they have I will also get suspicious as nothing happening here. And for the persuading them just introduce yourself as a adventurer not an mercenary."

He explains details by details of the information he got to those people back in tavern so they can be ready when they fight the monsters.

As they headed to the foot of the mountain they also killed bandits that was lurking and it seems they are patrol on watching the villagers if escaping.

What is more surprising to BLNK is that they also have a grey wolves as mount and some of them accompanied by red goblins.

'This is bad to think that red goblin as their allies. Red goblin should be in south why here but this is also good because I have healer anyway killing them should be easy.'

After moments passed they arrived at the base of the bandits they saw a large camp and full of tents but the most frightening is that around 50 red goblins are present and one red goblin is atleast in Leader class.

"Stay away from me after giving me buffs and only come if I take too much damage got it?"

"Yes!"

BLNK rushes towards the watchmen so the other bandits can't be notified or alert and killing them one swift will be easy if he didn't encounter any problems.

Uwaack! Zhiillk!

"There is an .. !"

BLNK cuts down the bandits before they call reinforcements and the soil was painted by bloods as he moves and infiltrate.
