Flynn's Forest of Fables Chapter 8

Of course Flynn didn't know that a certain silver-eyed ranger not far from him was confused and even a little restless that night.

He would also not know that the scene and memory of being entangled by dragon vines (the kind that is particularly mature and almost forms a one-to-one nerve conduction with the subject) were specially extracted and carefully studied many times by someone.

The effect of soaking the peaches in white wine was very good. Flynn had a good sleep and woke up early the next day.

Breakfast is cooked beetroot puree spread on a fluffy wheat cake covered in butter.

The hot jam cake offered to the goblin by the window was also eaten.

Flynn's mood became a little more cheerful. After breakfast, he took the initiative to come to Green River Village for the first time. He wanted to talk to Mayor Hans about the ranger.

Veles is obviously not an ordinary adventurer: the serious injuries he has suffered, the obvious inhuman characteristics, the advanced magic... Even the cold and sharp strange temperament on his body hints at his origin. Extraordinary, and such a person should not become a ranger in a remote mountain village.

Unless he's avoiding some trouble.

Or maybe he himself is the trouble.

Thinking of this, Flynn couldn't help but sigh - although he was reluctant, he had to admit that Veles did look very suspicious, but Flynn didn't feel anything bad about this man. breath.

The frightening aura of the man is more like the unmelted ice and snow on the mountain. It is cold and dangerous, but there is no subjective malicious intent.

Flynn wasn't sure whether he wanted to plead with the village chief to drive away Veles, or let the man continue to stay near the unpeaceful dense forest.

In his chaotic thoughts, Flynn was almost at the entrance of Green River Village without realizing it.

It was still early, and the area should have been quiet and no one was moving around, but Flynn heard a weak and angry scolding behind a hillside.

"You, what on earth are you going to do?!"

The next thing I remembered was the rude laughter of several men.

"Don't be so nervous, little girl, let's see where your milk comes from first."

"Hey, what are you hiding from? We are not bad people. Look, this is our badge. We are serious mercenaries."

"Hahahahaha, Jack, don't explain. If there hadn't been trouble here, who would want to come to such a remote place? This country girl may have never seen any serious mercenaries in her life."

...

"Get away! Let me go!"

The girl's voice became a little shrill.

"I don't care who you are, if you keep harassing me like this, I'm going to call you!"

Her threats led to more malicious teasing.

"Shout, little girl, let's see who you can summon?"

"Hahaha, yes, you shout!"

...

Flynn frowned.

He had already heard that the girl who was being harassed was the little milk delivery girl in the village, her name was Mira...

Delivering milk is not an easy job. You have to rush to the pasture of another village to pick up milk before dawn, and then deliver buckets of milk to the village before the temperature warms up with the sun. in other people's homes.

In the past, no one near Green River Village would deliberately make things difficult for such a hard-working little girl.

Flynn quickly walked around the hillside and immediately saw Mira surrounded by several mercenaries.

Compared with the tall and strong mercenaries, Mira looked so weak and pitiful. Her face was already red with anger, and she was glaring at the mercenaries fiercely.

"Get away!"

She shouted again.

As for the mercenaries surrounding her, Flynn recognized them at just one glance. These guys were probably not serious mercenaries at all--their armors didn't match the suit at all, and their movements were loose and they didn't look like they were passing by. Training look.

Flynn had seen similar Sc*m when he was an adventurer. They were just some gangsters who couldn't make it in their hometown. They gathered some equipment from the battlefield and called themselves mercenaries. Extortion rackets then spread around remote village settlements.

It seems that the news about the recent changes in the dense forest has spread, attracting so many people, thinking that they can extract some oil and water from Green River Village.

However, Flynn never imagined that such a Sc*mbag "mercenary" could be of such low character that he would even bully the milk girl.

"What are you doing! Stop!"

Flynn roared angrily, interrupting the mercenaries' harassment of Mira down the hillside.

Hearing the young man's scolding, several mercenaries quickly took a few steps back and away from Mira.

"We didn't do anything, we just... Hey, little beauty, where did you come from? It's not safe to hang around the hillside so early."

The mercenaries who showed a hint of fear before suddenly became relaxed again after seeing Flynn clearly.

No, to be precise, they seemed more interested and excited than before.

Flynn took a deep breath, stared at the mercenaries who were gradually approaching him, secretly clenched his palms, and several balls of pre-sung magic secretly heated up in his palms.

It didn't surprise him at all that he would become the new target of this trash. After all, similar things have happened countless times in the past.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him. These guys who should be shown as "villains" in the story, whether they are big devils or trash at the bottom of society, will be like flies seeing meat when they see him. They swarmed and stuck to each other to death.

Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps...

Flynn lowered his eyes and secretly counted the distance between the mercenaries and himself.

His magic power was too low, and it was better to wait until these people got close enough to him to be effective. It had been a long time since he had experienced a similar crisis. Even though he had been prepared, Flynn was still a little nervous.

Especially when he quickly discovered that if Mira looked weak and pitiful in the presence of these powerful mercenaries, then he was simply weak and vulnerable in front of these people now.

The shadow cast by the mercenaries shrouded Flynn's body, and the stench and alcohol smell of the men rushed towards Flynn along with their salivating looks and breath-controlling words.

"It's such a waste that there is a little thing like you in this damn place like Green River Village."

"A little beauty like you should go to the royal city. Those noble gentlemen must like you very much."

"Are you a foreigner? An elf? Hehe, let me take a closer look at you..."

...

"Flynn?!"

Mira shouted behind those people in horror. Flynn gave her a look when no one else was paying attention. Mira was stunned for a moment. Then she nodded, untied the heavy carriage of the milk truck, jumped directly onto her beloved big red horse, and headed towards Green River Village quickly. Running away.

"Hey, damn--no one's watching that girl?"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, several mercenaries seemed to finally come to their senses.

They cursed and quickly realized that Mira must have gone back to Green River Village to call for help.

Their expressions immediately changed, and they looked at Flynn more ferociously and greedily than before.

Flynn was alone, and he looked so beautiful and petite, as if he could be easily snatched away with a hand.

"Little beauty, come on, come with us. Let us take you to the royal city to see the world!"

The mercenaries made a prompt decision and rushed towards Flynn with grins.

Flynn pursed his lips and stared at the garbage with bated breath.

It was this opportunity that he had been waiting for---

But before Flynn's magic could be released, the so-called mercenaries flew out together.

Their screams were heard from a distance after several seconds.

Flynn looked at the scene in front of him in stunned silence: the mercenaries seemed to be grabbed by the necks by invisible vines, and they were slapping back and forth on the ground. The old armor on their bodies was quickly shattered into pieces in the cruel and rude impact. Mud and blood foam rose up on the ground. Accompanied by the men's screams that changed their tone, the scene in front of them could make a Ordinary villagers fainted on the spot.

It's a pity that Flynn is not an ordinary villager.

He could only stare blankly at the nightmare-inducing scene in front of him, too frightened to move.

Time seemed to become extremely long, and it took Flynn a long time to realize that there was a man silently sticking to his side.

"Ranger Mr. Cedric?!"

Flynn screamed.

The moment he saw Veles, Flynn almost had to take back his judgment of him not long ago. He had always thought that Veles looked scary but did not have any bad aura about him, but now the silver-eyed man standing next to him looked like he was dragging a bloody sword step by step from the abyss. The twisted black energy surrounding the Great Demon King almost formed a substance visible to the naked eye.

"You were attacked."

Cedric stared at Flynn, his gaze so intense that it seemed as if he could pierce a hole in Flynn's body in the next second.

"Yes, I was harassed, but... wait, Mr. Cedric, please stop, if you continue like this, you will kill all these people!"

Okay, now Flynn knows why those mercenaries ended up like this.

Flynn bravely spoke quickly.

"You asked me to stop?"

Veles was still the same as before, his body was covered in a long cloak, and most of his face was also covered by a hood. The small section of face exposed from under the cloth was expressionless, but strangely, Flynn could feel the other person's confusion at this moment.

"Yes, please stop. Although they are all bad people, if they are to be executed, they should still go through a court trial..."

Flynn said weakly.

In fact, in such a foreign continent, it is normal for high-level strong men to casually kill those who have offended them, but Flynn has always disliked this.

He originally thought that Veles would ignore his request, but with his words, the mercenaries were thrown to the ground by the invisible force and no longer suffered cruel treatment.

They fell to the ground, moaning in pain. They were seriously injured, but they were all still alive.

"It would be easier to kill them."

Cedric stopped, but he still spoke to Flynn hesitantly.

"And, they attacked you."

He emphasized again.

He was still looking at Flynn.

It was only then that Flynn reacted belatedly. Maybe... maybe... probably... Veles was worried that he was injured?

"I'm fine." Flynn stretched out his hand, letting Veles see clearly the magic in his palm that had not yet been released.

"You were here before they could even touch me."

In order for Cedric to see clearly, Flynn smoothed his sleeves. The wrists exposed from the wide cuffs were delicate and delicate, without any scars. Under the delicate skin, light cyan blood vessels could even be vaguely seen.

Cedric stared at Flynn's arm for a long time.

He licked his teeth and felt that he suddenly wanted to bite something very, very much--not the kind of cruel bloody bite, but the kind of light bite just to relieve the itching of the roots of the teeth. of gnawing.

Cedric didn't understand why he still felt anxious after confirming that Flynn was not injured.

And when he thought of the male humans who had gathered around Flynn just now, this feeling of anxiety was quickly mixed with an almost uncontrollable violent murderous intention.

"...Anyway, anyway, thank you very much."

Flynn thanked Veles a little stiffly.

He lowered his eyes, his eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly at Cedric. He had not forgotten that he came to Green River Village early in the morning just to discuss with the village chief that Veles could not be trusted.

But now the village chief didn't see him, but he himself was saved by Veles.

The embarrassment caused Flynn's cheeks to turn slightly red as he thanked her.

Especially since Cedric started to stare at him with that weird look again.

Flynn touched his face a little stupidly.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

He probed cautiously.

"I'll keep an eye on you from now on."

But at this moment, Cedric suddenly said something completely different.

Immediately afterwards, the man with silver eyes suddenly turned around and quickly left Flynn's sight.

"Mr. Cedric????"

Flynn stood there, confused.
