The latest website: This is a very ordinary-looking log cabin, geographically far away from Muya city-state and other towns and villages. It is hidden in the quiet and deep wilderness woods, and can only be reached by a forest path covered with fallen leaves. Even with the guidance of the hand-drawn map that came with the mission, Barrett took a long time to find it.

The task itself is very simple. It is to send some grain, salt, light beer, ink and paper to the owner of the log house and various kinds of daily necessities. However, since the transportation distance is quite far, it is really not in line with Barrett's character to travel so far to deliver some miscellaneous things, so he did not intend to take this task at first.

It was the old task registrant named 'Avery' in Muya City-State who specially asked him to pick it up. Barrett had a good relationship with that old man, and he received reminders and help from the other party when accepting tasks in the past, so Then he agreed. And Avery also said at the time that the reward for this task was not just that on the surface, and if he was lucky, he might get some extra benefits. As for the specific benefits, the old man did not say.

Next to this small wooden house is an olive tree that is at least a century old. The trunk of the tree is thick and straight, and the canopy is dense and prosperous, which has completely covered the roof of the wooden house. The olive trees and the cabin are very close together, giving Barrett the feeling of being nestled against each other. Wait, why did I think of the word 'snuggle'? He shook his head, a little confused about his weird thoughts.

After knocking on the door, Barrett looked at the wooden house and the surrounding environment again. What kind of person would want to live here alone? He was a little curious about it. Even wilderness tribes like the goats and lizardmen who are used to living in the wild mostly live with their own tribe, not alone.

The answer will be revealed soon. The door of the wooden house was opened, and a middle-aged man in a cotton plaid jacket appeared from inside. The other party had a neatly trimmed beard, a gentle and steady face, and a rather muscular figure. Of course, that size is still not enough compared to Barrett.

"Come in, traveler from afar." After the other party saw Barrett, he warmly invited him, "It's been a long journey, come in and have a good rest."

This kind of enthusiastic attitude from the moment we met made Manzi hesitate, "Are you 'Karen Rowan'?" He stood motionless outside the door and asked.

"Yes, that's me." The other party nodded and said to Barrett with a smile, "To tell you the truth, my father had planned to name me 'Steven', which means 'noble crown, Elegant Corolla', unfortunately, this name was first used by the neighbor next door. This is unavoidable, after all, that kid was born two months earlier than me. Indeed, there can be two or three 'Stevens' in a village ’, or more, that’s fine, but two ‘Stevens’ being neighbors to each other is not a very good thing.”

Then the man gave an example, "For example, when two children fight, adults will say, 'Hey, your Steven hit our Steven', or ask, 'Hey, Steve. Steven, did you see Steven?’ Haha, I have to say, it’s kind of funny if that’s the case.”

Stop now, if you keep talking, I really think your name is 'Steven', Barrett slandered in his heart. "Aren't you going to confirm my identity? Are you not afraid that I'm a bandit or a robber? Living alone in the wilderness should have a strong sense of vigilance."

"Fear can't solve the problem." Karen beckoned to Barritt again and said, "If you are really a robber or someone with malicious intentions, then my vigilance and vigilance will not let you dispel those evil ones." idea."

"You can't say that." The barbarian followed the owner into the wooden house, "The beast showing its sharp claws and fangs may make other monsters give up this hunt."

"Well, I admit that what you said makes sense, but I'm more used to being hospitable to my own kind. After all, I don't see humans here twice a year." Karen led Barrit into the kitchen and served him Served a cup of hot tea with a pleasant aroma, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a Nord from the north." After getting Barrett's affirmation, the other party said, "Although this place is getting better and better every day. It's cold, but it's much warmer than your hometown. I went to Nord once when I was young. I still remember the experience of riding a horse in a snowy day. Fortunately, you rode a nightmare beast. This kind of special mount that is full of fire must provide you with some warmth."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Barrett didn't take a sip, and asked with a frown, "How do you know I'm riding a nightmare beast?" After he found the wooden house, he sent 'Carrot' back to the plane of shadows. The other party shouldn't know. Did he see it in the house?

"Because you made a mistake from the beginning." Karen took out a plate of crispbread that smelled like herbs, and put it in front of the barbarian. "Actually, I don't live here alone." Following his words, A graceful and charming woman passed through the wall of the wooden house behind Karen and walked in slowly.

The key parts of her body were covered by large leaves, and her exposed skin was light green and yellowish, like autumn leaves. The hair is like a slender branch surrounded by vines, dotted with blooming milky white flowers. This beautiful creature that looks like a woman also has a warm smile on her face. She came to Karen's side and kissed him lightly.

"Please allow me to introduce to you." Karen put the wrist around the waist of the female creature, "This is my wife, my love, the person who will stay with me all my life, 'Patricia'. You may It can also be seen that she is not a human being, but a tree demon."

Dryad? Barrett had only heard of this fey creature before, but had never actually seen it. According to his understanding, a dryad usually has a 'tree of oneness' associated with it. She can travel around the area centered on this tree, and can teleport from one tree in this area to another at will. There is a tree, but it cannot be too far away from the tree of unity. This is somewhat similar to a ghost bound to a special place or object. And as long as the tree of oneness associated with it remains healthy and healthy, the dryad can always maintain a beautiful and charming youth. But once the tree is hurt, the dryad will also suffer.

Seeing the shape of leaves and hair flowers of the dryad in front of him, Barrett suddenly thought of the lush olive tree next to the wooden house, presumably that olive tree should be the tree of the dryad. No wonder I thought of the word 'snuggle' at that time, it turned out that I had expected it a long time ago, Manzi thought in his heart rather complacently.

The hostess of the wooden house, Patricia the Dryad, smiled politely at Barrett, but she still focused more on Karen, her eyes full of nostalgia.

"My wife can understand Common Tongue, but she can't speak it very well, because her pronunciation structure is different from ours. We usually use Sylvan, an ancient language that is unique to the fey, to converse. I have learned it for quite a long time." Karen and his dryad wife looked at each other tenderly, and then looked at Barrett, "Actually, every dryad is not born naturally, but some relatively weak elves Human beings, transformed by a more powerful kind, or other creatures, bound their fey souls to trees. Sorry I can't tell you how Patricia became a dryad, because it involves There are some special secrets that cannot be known to others. But if you are really interested, I can tell you the story of how I met, fell in love, and stayed together with her before. I can tell you in advance, Not only is it heartwarming and romantic, but it's also thrilling and sure to be funnier than any other adventure you've ever heard."

Cut, who wants to hear your love story, I'm not an adolescent girl, Barrett is very speechless about this. "Thanks, I'm just here to deliver the goods, and I have other tasks to complete." He politely declined, "Where should I put the things I brought?" The kitchen is really small, and Barrett is worried that it will Can't let go.

"Okay, okay, come with me." Karen gave the barbarian a look like 'It's your loss if you don't listen', and led him to the basement of the wooden house, "I didn't expect you still have the space ring, the first half of the year The people who came to deliver the goods came in two carriages."

Manzi's mental power has long been far superior to that of ordinary people, even compared to a first-level mage. He released all kinds of goods on the task list one by one, and there were quite a lot of corn, wheat and other grains alone.

When assisting Karen to place the goods, Barrett glanced at the basement, hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sincere?" This question sounds a bit strange, but the barbarian really doesn't know what to do. Just ask. He had heard before that the dryad had a special ability to charm other creatures, so he was a little worried that the man in front of him had also fallen into the 'charm of the fairy', and thus fell deeply in the false love woven by the other party and couldn't extricate himself.

Manzi's question was rather cryptic, but Karen still understood the meaning, "I have a clear consciousness, and I have not been charmed. Although this sounds a bit like a drunk person saying that he didn't drink too much, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is not very convincing, but I can assure you that I am very aware of my feelings for her and her love for me. These are all true, not false feelings constructed by magic .You know, we've been through..."

"That's good, I'm just asking casually, don't mind." Barrett interrupted Karen's words, and said with a rather resentful look in the other party's eyes, "Here is all the goods, if there is nothing else, I will I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he walked out of the basement on his own to prepare to leave.

"Please wait a moment." Karen called Barbarian from behind, "I have an additional request that I hope you can agree to. Don't worry, the reward will definitely satisfy you, but I hope you don't tell the content of the reward."

Compensation that will definitely satisfy me? Barrett stopped in his tracks, "Well, it's not like I can't spare some time. Listen, I'm referring to your request, not your love story." As soon as the words fell, Barrett realized that Patricia was also beside her. This dryad seems to be able to blend in with the wooden house, even if it stands directly beside the barbarian, it is difficult to be found, "I'm really sorry, ma'am, I don't mean anything else. It's just that I'm not interested in other people's love."
