EFB Chapter 68 Repaying My Senior Brother
Chapter 68 Repaying My Senior Brother
The little giant Roman had never seen a flying sword before, so he dared not comment. However, he had seen many wandering swordsmen, and that arrow just now was too beautiful, completely unlike what a peak first-tier swordsman could achieve.
Phoebe is talking nonsense and is deliberately targeting Lin Er and his group.
Roman learned about Lin Er and his group's strength from Phoebe, but the reality is completely different from what Phoebe said, so it's clear that Phoebe is deliberately causing trouble.
"Just as the city lord said, some people in the guild aren't good people at all!"
If it weren't for that little mute owl flying around recklessly and not giving them a warning, they wouldn't have been ambushed. Maybe it was Phoebe who orchestrated it, taking revenge for someone else.
He was also very fortunate that he had called Lin Er and the others, otherwise the stalemate would have continued for some time. Although he was confident that there would be no casualties, he would still have to suffer.
After catching his breath, Roman was about to go and help.
Suddenly a fireball flew down from the tree, passing by in a bizarre motion, and struck the water elemental and several nearby forest wolves.
The water element was consumed by the flames, instantly bursting into a cloud of water mist that quickly spread to a radius of four or five meters.
The next second, Lin Er jumped down from the tree and disappeared into the mist.
After a while, Lin Er emerged from the mist. The ground was littered with wolf carcasses, and the water elemental was gone.
Lin Er sighed and said, "Alas, the poor water elemental actually perished together with the forest wolf."
He burped as he spoke, feeling a slight swelling in his lower abdomen.
This ginseng extract is truly a highly nourishing substance.
Lin Er felt that after refining it, he would immediately break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
However, this was not a suitable place to break through, so he had to force himself to hold back and suppress all the chaotic pure spiritual energy in his dantian.
Lin Er snapped out of his daze, then helped Keller down from the tree, and said to Talia:
"Sorry, I accidentally hurt the water elemental you summoned."
Talia looked slightly weak as she replied, "It's alright, I can summon it again in a couple of days."
Lin Er thought he still needed to find a reason to confront Talia, at least he couldn't keep making excuses to accidentally hurt the water elemental.
At this moment, Roman came over and expressed his gratitude to them.
"We agreed beforehand that the spoils would be distributed according to contribution. You killed four dire wolves and several forest wolves, so these spoils will naturally be yours."
Lin Er quickly waved his hand and said, "Captain Roman, in the end, it was you guys who attracted attention from the front so that our sneak attack from behind could be so successful. There's really no need to divide it up so much."
He wouldn't normally have been able to get this bounty, so he was already quite satisfied to have gotten this mission. Now that he's built a good relationship, there might be opportunities for future cooperation.
Roman laughed and said, "You don't need to be so polite. Since I've already said it, I'll naturally keep my promise."
Lin Er could not resist Roman's hospitality, and he also wanted to fight for the interests of his companion.
After discussing it with Flora and the others, they decided to discard the forest wolves, which were too numerous to fit in the container, and keep only the four most valuable dire wolves.
After some pleasantries and considerations between the two sides, the distribution of the spoils was finally settled.
The two teams quickly returned to the guild's base with their spoils. Due to the large number of adventurers gathered there, some merchants who had sensed the business opportunity had already come to buy up all kinds of monster loot at high prices.
The merchants called it a high price, but the price wasn't actually that high. Most adventurers bought it on the spot for convenience.
Lin Er quickly sold the four wolf carcasses. Except for the one Flora killed, whose fur was intact, which sold for the most, the rest did not fetch very high prices.
A total of 360 Fang coins were sold. Because it was agreed beforehand that the coins would be distributed equally, each person received 90 Fang coins.
Talia looked at the bag full of coins, shook her head, and quickly said, "Mr. Lin'er, this is too much. We haven't really been of much help."
She and Keller already knew from their teacher that Lin Er's manipulation of objects was powerful, but now that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they realized how terrifying it was. They hadn't helped much at all, so how could they dare to share so much?
Lin Er said, "You don't need to be so polite, just call me Lin Er. We agreed on an equal distribution, how can you just change it now?"
"But, Senior Brother Lin'er... Keller and I have never received so much money at once before." Talia's expression was very hesitant.
Lin Er exclaimed in surprise, "Your gear doesn't make you look like you're short of money!"
Talia quickly explained, "These were all given to us by Teacher Morris. We only have 10 coins a month for pocket money, which isn't even enough to buy a bottle of low-level healing potion."
Lin Er couldn't help but think of his situation when he first joined the guild. If he only accepted ordinary Black Iron-level bounties, he probably wouldn't even earn 5 guild coins a month.
Talia and the others said they were poor, but only in comparison to silver-level adventurers.
Lin Er coughed and said, "You've already called me senior brother, so don't worry about taking it. I'll need your help in the future."
Talia looked both surprised and delighted. She pulled Keller along and quickly thanked Lin Er, saying, "Brother, you instructed us to do as you say!"
Lin Er nodded. It was inconvenient for him to continue accepting bounties today; he needed to find a place to break through his limits.
The village where the guild's base is located is not very large to begin with.
Now that so many adventurers have moved in, with so many people talking, if they make any noise, everyone will probably know about it very quickly.
He was now forcibly suppressing the spiritual energy in his dantian, making it difficult to be distracted by strenuous exercise, so he said:
"Talia, go buy a few tents. I'll report on the situation at the Mistbone Nest."
After assigning the tasks, Lin Er got up and went to find Ellie.
He already didn't have a good impression of Phoebe's difficult behavior, so he'd better let Ellie report this kind of meritorious information.
After Lin Er finished doing all that, Talia returned carrying a package, indicating that the tent had been purchased.
The four of them immediately left the guild's stronghold and came to a nearby open grassland, which was overgrown with all kinds of weeds.
Lin Er took out the Moonlight Sword and used his flying sword technique to carve out a flat area. After doing this, he immediately set up a tent.
In no time, a tent was set up.
Lin Er entered the tent and quickly set up the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, placing the corresponding spiritual objects in the five elemental positions.
Based on his own experience and through indirect inquiries, he discovered that non-cultivators cannot sense spiritual energy, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.
However, he only came out of the tent after concealing the array diagram.
"I need to focus on meditation and cultivation now. If you don't have anything urgent to do, please don't disturb me."
"Understood, Senior Brother."
Talia agreed.
Lin Er was a little puzzled when he saw that Talia and the others stopped setting up the second tent.
However, he didn't think much of it and said to Flora, "I'm about to start cultivating and can't be distracted. Please cultivate with me later."
The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array will gather wind element, and if too much is accumulated, it will have a big flaw. If Flora helps to absorb it, then there will be no problem.
Flora nodded and replied, "No problem."
After giving his instructions, Lin Er turned around and went back into the tent.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit-gathering array, focusing on refining the spiritual energy in his dantian in an attempt to break through.
……
After watching Lin'er enter the tent, Flora stood up and went to Talia, asking:
"Talia, why are there only two tents? Where's mine?"
Talia replied, "When I bought them, there were only two tents left. How about this, Keller and I will share one, and you and your senior will share one."
Flora hesitated for a moment, then replied, "That's not a good idea."
Talia replied seriously, "Didn't my senior brother just ask you to cultivate with him? He must have his reasons. Isn't it good that you're closer to him?"
"It seems that's indeed the case."
Flora nodded.
After Flora went into the tent, Keller quickly tugged at Latalia's sleeve and whispered:
"Aren't there still a lot of tents at the base? Why are you lying?"
Talia patted Keller's head impatiently and said:
"You idiot, if I didn't say that, what would happen to our senior brother's happy life? He's been so good to us, we should repay him."
Keller scratched his head, then suddenly realized and said, "That makes sense."
