A Bar In An Alternate World: Pick Up A Young Witch - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 The Beautiful Warrior Monk Doesn’t Want to Fight with Wild Boars in the Swamp

“That’s enough. Leave the other one for it,” Lin Ge felt quite sorry. It really wasn’t easy to be Elise’s underling.

“Haha, don’t worry, it’ll grow back very soon.”

Elise reached out and touched the spider’s head, and it left quietly.

Lin Ge kept the chelicerae in his spatial ring and prepared to return to the city with Lanya to hand in the mission. On the way back, no more spiders came to disturb them.

When he walked out of the cave, the sky was already red.

At the entrance of the cave lay two lizardmen who had been knocked down by someone. On the grass nearby, six horses were leisurely grazing.

“Let’s ride back, or we’ll have to walk until tomorrow morning.”

Realizing the distance from Castaron to here, Lin Ge couldn’t help but wonder how Elise and Neelu went to work every day since they lived so far away. Neelu had wings to fly, but could Elise fly in her original form?

“But I don’t know how to ride a horse,” Lanya said, embarrassed.

“You can ride with me. Be careful not to fall.”

Lanya recalled how she had hung in Lin Ge’s arms like a tree otter when he had brought her on their escape just now. Her face turned red in the setting sun and she nodded slightly.

Lin Ge walked over and picked the strongest horse. It had shiny fur and strong muscles. If he were to sell it in the city, he would probably make a lot of money.

“Do you want to sit in front or the back?”

Lanya thought for a moment and blushed, “In the front. I’m afraid I’ll fall.”

Lin Ge grabbed Lanya’s arm and brought her onto the horse’s back. After sitting firmly, he urged the horse to gallop in the direction of Castaron.

They had been in a hurry to escape on the way here, but they weren’t in such a hurry to return. They were even in the mood to admire the scenery of the plains under the setting sun.

When the two got back to the city, they were already covered in starlight.

Under the starry sky, they walked through the streets.

When they returned to the bar, Lanya saw Lin Ge take out his phone from the bar counter and asked in surprise, “Eh? You didn’t bring your phone?”

Lin Ge’s face turned red. He said goodnight and hid in the resting room as if he was running from the question.

Lanya lay on the sofa, her violet eyes filled with puzzlement.

So it wasn’t the frog that was jumping in his pocket at that time? What was it then?

In the end, she did not get an answer. Instead, she thought of the embarrassing thing that happened later.

That damned Elise, she would take her revenge sooner or later…

The next day, the two of them went to the Adventurer’s Guild to submit their mission. Their team was officially formed, which meant that they could obtain information from the guild and accept missions in the future.

Lanya was very excited from the moment she left the bar. After the registration was completed, she excitedly pulled Lin Ge to the noticeboard.

“Captain, captain, let’s quickly accept a mission,” Lanya was too embarrassed to be the captain, so she gave the position to Lin Ge, and she became the vice-captain.

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Lin Ge decided to take on a simpler mission to satisfy her mood. After all, he didn’t have to work today.

His eyes were searching the noticeboard when a surprised voice suddenly came from the side.

“Hey, it’s you guys.’ Lin Ge turned around and saw the warrior monk girl from yesterday. He remembered that her name was Celia.

Lanya’s big purple eyes were filled with vigilance when she saw Celia. She moved closer to Lin Ge.

“It’s you, what a coincidence.”

“Are you guys planning to accept a mission?”

Celia was surprised. This man was clearly chatting and laughing with the Lord of the spider cave, so why did he still need to come to the Adventurer’s Guild to accept missions? “Yeah, my partner and I just registered for a team and are about to take on a simpler mission to practice. What about you?” A newly registered team? Could this man be a high-level monster disguised as a human and lurking in Castaron? However, he didn’t seem to be a threat. The girl beside him seemed to be slightly hostile toward her, but she also looked very weak.

Celia began to use her imagination to guess the identity of the two people. She said, “I gave you all my money yesterday, so I came to take on a commission and earn some gold coins.” As if suddenly realizing something, Celia changed her words, “Ah, I’m not complaining. I’m really grateful that you saved me yesterday. The money was what I should have given you.”

Lin Ge was thinking instead, “This girl said yesterday that if the money wasn’t enough, she could go to the city to get more, but now she’s here at the Adventurer’s Guild to earn money. So she was lying back then?”

“By the way, do you want to complete the commission together?”

Unable to contain her curiosity, Celia invited Lin Ge and Lanya to form a team. Perhaps she could discover something about them during the mission.

“Sure,” Lin Ge didn’t think too much about it and agreed readily.

He simply felt that Celia was quite skilled.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to barge into the depths of the spider’s cave and even alerted the Lord, Elise.

It should be much safer to travel with her, although Lanya seemed to be reluctant.

Seeing that Lin Ge had agreed, Celia revealed a bright smile.

“Then please choose a mission.”

“Let’s see,” Lin Ge’s gaze swept across the noticeboard and suddenly pointed to a particular one, “How about this one?” After reading the contents of the commission, Celia forced a smile and said, “This is a little…

Isn’t it too simple? Why don’t we try something more challenging?” It was an insult to her dignity as a lone adventurer to clean up the slimes in the vegetable field.

She had always traveled alone because she was very confident in her strength and felt that she didn’t need any teammates. The only reason she had invited Lin Ge to form a team was to investigate his background.

To think he wanted to take her to the farm to clean up slimes. What a joke.

“Is that so? Then let’s change to another one,” Lin Ge was a little disappointed. He wanted to see what a real slime looked like. Since that was the case, he would pick a slightly more difficult mission.

“Oh, this looks good. The wild boar in the swamp, how about it?”

If she could, Celia did not want to roll around in the swamp with a wild boar. However, if she continued to refuse, it might make Lin Ge displeased, so she reluctantly agreed. The mission location was located near a village on the east side of the city. Recently, a huge wild boar had appeared in the swamp there. It often ran out to destroy the farmlands, even attacking passers-by and farmers. Therefore, the nearby villagers raised funds as a reward and issued this mission in the guild. After leaving the city, the three of them went to the village where the mission was issued and asked the village chief for the specific location of the swamp. Knowing that the three of them were here to kill the wild boar, the old village chief was extremely excited, especially after seeing the gorgeous staves in the hands of Lin Ge and Lanya.

But he still reminded, “Lord and Lady mages, you must be careful. That fellow is no ordinary wild boar. I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen such a huge wild boar. The hunters’ crossbow arrows can’t even penetrate its skin.”

After saying goodbye to the village chief, the three of them found the wild boar’s habitat according to the location he gave them. It was a black swamp with an area about the size of a football field. A strong black-furred wild boar was lying under a big tree in the middle of the swamp. Its huge body was like a small mountain, and the mane on its neck stood up like steel needles, piercing the sky. Even when it was sleeping, it gave off a fierce aura.

Lanya was a little scared when she saw the huge body of the boar. She grabbed Lin Ge’s arm and whispered, “Let’s not provoke it. I don’t think we’re its match at all.”

Lin Ge was also a little hesitant. This was the first time he had seen such a huge wild boar. It was almost the size of an adult elephant. Unlike an elephant, the front half of the boar’s body was particularly thick, and the muscles of its two front legs and back seemed so taut they were about to burst. It seemed to be more ferocious than an elephant. “What do you think, Celia?” Celia stared at the black mud in the swamp frowned. This place was not suitable for a battle.

and “Use magic to draw it out first. I’ll attract its attention from the front, and you guys attack it with magic.”
