Destroy the bandits and get rid of the beasts that plague the surrounding area. This kind of task was supposed to be the work of the Brothers-in-Arms, and the members of the Brothers-in-Arms who were in charge of garrisoning the main cities were happy to take it as their own pastime.

However, unfortunately, in the recent Battle of the Snow Acropolis, the headquarters of the Brothers-in-Arms suffered a lot of losses. As a result, a considerable part of the main members were transferred. And the rest of the manpower ...... Just to maintain the operation of the distribution is to do its best.

That's why the task of clearing out wolves can fall into Alice's hands.

"I looked at the geography of northern Mosal a little, and it wasn't a good environment for the Icewolf. There is no way to grow wolves in the swamp. The forests near the logging site should also be home to only highland wolves. Jami stretched out her hand, feeling the cold breath in the air.

For a dark elf, the Skyrim Province of Morning Star Moon really couldn't make her feel comfortable.

"It's like growing vegetables...... Alice replied casually, "maybe they migrated from the White Land?" ”

"It's too far away. Still," the Dark Elf paused. "This is the only way to make sense."

The girl shrugged.

"It's okay, this kind of thing is not our turn to care about, as long as we do our part."

"That's how it should be."

They bought some hemostatic agents and anti-epidemic drugs in the alchemy-related shops - in case they were bitten by wolves, they could deal with them in time. He then followed the instructions on the map and walked towards the lumber yard north of Mosar. It didn't take long for the two to reach their destination.

A Nord man with a stiff expression received them in a manner that was not at all welcoming.

"Well, if my memory is any good, the owner of this lumberyard must be Mr. Heruga." Alice asked, confused. "Isn't he there? We have something to do with him. ”

"He's not here." The Nord replied dryly, "If there's anything important, just tell me the same." ”

"I'm sorry, but he has to do it himself." The girl shook her head. "It's about those Icewolves threatening the lumberyard. We need to confirm the order contract. ”

"Alien mercenaries?" The man looked at them with a frown—especially their clothes. "You should deal with the wolves first. I'll let him know later. ”

The girls glanced at each other, and their eyes invariably showed a look of annoyance.

What are you kidding, how can there be a reason not to confirm the contract with the employer and directly stupidly go to the past to complete the commission? There should be a limit to fooling people! When the time comes, the work is done here, and the employer directly smashes it with a sentence of 'I don't know'. Isn't it all in vain!?

Oh, it's not like nothing, maybe a few words of praise, and then get a title of 'righteous and courageous' or something—damn it, business is business, what kind of trouble is it to have to mix with morality?

Alice pouted.

[It seems that this commission can only be postponed for the time being.] 】

She then nodded and said with some regret, "Sorry for wasting your time, we'll visit again at this time tomorrow." ”

But before she could turn around, the Nords stopped her.

"Wait a minute, I have Hruga's private seal here. This one works just as well as the signature. ”

“………………”

It's weird.

If there is a seal, why did you say that in the first place?

Alice looked at the man in front of her with a cautious gaze. Full of doubts.

[This guy ...... It can't be a liar. 】

[Well, if it's a liar. There should be some outrageous monetary demands. 】

Sure enough, the next moment she heard the expected sentence.

"I can stamp you and guarantee that it will work. At the same time, some information and information about the wolves can also be told to you. But accordingly, advance to me a tenth of your reward. ”

Alice was going to go straight away.

She didn't know what it would take to restrain her anger so that she wouldn't throw thirty flames in a row and blow the unknown creature in front of her into sixty-six pieces.

What is this? Do you still have to pay a deposit to complete the commission?

However, just as she was about to end the conversation with a decisive move, Jamila next to her gently kicked her in the shoe. So Alice shut her mouth and transferred the right to communicate to Jamila.

Five minutes later......

Rather dissatisfied, Alice walked along the road to the woods with slightly heavier than usual steps, and there was a low pressure around her, and the little animals in the meadow were stimulated by this oppressive feeling, and they squirmed or crawled away from the direction she was traveling.

Faced with such a situation, Jamila felt as if she needed to explain...... Elaborate.

She pondered the language for a moment, then asked, "Well, Alice, you used to ...... I don't think I went to the bulletin board to take over the commission, right? ”

Alice turned her head, and her bright eyes only showed 'I'm listening'.

"It seems so. Then it's normal not to know about it. "It's like a businessman who does business always gives rebates to his suppliers, and sometimes the commissions are not commensurate with the difficulty – or under certain conditions." Then there will be such people who come out and ask for kickbacks. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Sort of like a ticket to a hunting tournament."

"Yes...... Is it? The girl's neck turned slightly. I always feel a little strong. ”

"But that's the most plausible explanation." Jamila spread her hands and said, "Well, although we paid a tenth of the gains, we also know that the number of wolves in the pack is fifty to sixty, and there is a wolf with the same appearance as other ice wolves, but the ability to recover is extremely amazing. It's not a waste of money for intelligence - maybe it can save some medicine. ”

Alice nodded, indicating that she understood. As for whether you agree with it or not...... We'll talk about that later.

They arrived at dusk in the woods, and in the direction provided by the Nord, using a disemboweled, fresh goat as bait, and it was not long before they met the target of their mission.

The next steps are pretty boring.

Icewolves are usually three feet long. The coat is gray and white, and the leather is tough. They have 42 sharp teeth, most of which can be used as bone arrowheads. Their skulls are sturdy and their jaws bite strongly, so if an untrained farmer encounters an ice wolf in the middle of the woods, a roundabout approach to their flanks is the best option.

However, as long as there are more than three Icewolves, it will be difficult for even the same number of Town Guards to win in a forest battle. Because wolves are cunning creatures, they know how to use simple tactics and are sensitive to premonitions of danger. Usually they will use the patience of their prey in a provocative way, and wait until the time is right...... They will rush to them.

And human traps are often difficult to lure them. Therefore, in the battle between humans and wolves, most of the small-scale fights end with wolves gnawing on human corpses. Once there is a large-scale raiding party, the wolves will quickly hide and starve or kill a part of the pack in exchange for the raiding party's retreat, and the entire wolf pack will survive.

But for such a situation to happen, a prerequisite is required - there are no hoplites in full plate armor in the ranks of the people.

That's right, the Icewolf's teeth weren't enough to chisel through the armor above the steel plate. And the bone heavy armor on Jamila's body is made of Southam's Danmo secret technique, and in terms of toughness, Cheng Dù is stronger than steel plate armor. Even the most ferocious wolf hunter can only watch his claws break in the face of such a swordsman's obstacles.

As for Alice...... If a wolf could touch Alice's horns, that wolf would be called the overlord of the wolves and lead over thousands of wolves—or maybe a wild werewolf who had failed to transform.

Unfortunately, there are no wolves like that.

So they all died.

The vast majority of Icewolves are fatal with a single blow to the abdomen, and the few remnants who want to strategically switch in are quite happy to receive a lethal package of fireballs or ice guns - they are not frostfurious spirits, and can release undefensible freezing gas in a large area, so they have no ability to fight back when faced with a skilled magic sword-shield swordsman combination.

As a result, a sightseeing tour with no accidents at the beginning and no twists and turns at the end came to an end. Oh, and there was a bonus, as they were given a magic ring that would quickly restore the body of the wolf that Alice had dissected and turned out of its stomach.

"That's it?"

"Of course, that's it. What more do you want? Jamila examined the ring, and from the inscription on the surface, she could roughly discern the word "regeneration" in Elven language.

She then handed it to Alice.

"Regeneration rings, I remember that the price of a similarly effected magic trinket on Southam's side was 1,200 Septine Gold Coins. It's a lot of money. She shook her head ruefully. It's a pity I don't need this. ”

"Yes......" Alice put the ring in her pocket, but remained in a state of readiness. Shouldn't there be more werewolves or something? Or maybe it's some wild wizard who domesticates wolves? ”

She scanned around, as if trying to find some new enemies to come out.

"You must have read too many heroic stories." Jamila shook her head helplessly. "Where are there so many strange things in this world. Even if I had, I wouldn't be staring at you. She patted Alice on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, we still have to get paid." If you have to worry about anything, the other party is most likely to encounter it. ”

What she said did not become a reality. After showing the wolf's head, the other party happily paid the honorarium. Until the two returned to their quarters and found a new hotel, nothing happened as Alice expected.

"It always feels like it's not right......" Alice rubbed her brow, she could clearly sense the danger, but the truth clearly told her that it was nothing but illusory. And as the moon phase shifted, so did the sleepiness in her brain - she finally collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

The night of calm was over.

Little did she know that the moment she closed her eyes, a group of creatures walking in the darkness attacked the lumberyard. All the lumberjacks who stayed behind were killed, their stomachs slit, their limbs torn, and fragments of broken internal organs splattered almost everywhere.

Alice and Jamila were the latest witnesses were able to confirm that they had contact with the lumberyard.

PS: Alice finally has her first enchanted trinket! \(^o^)/~

PS2: There are more than 400,000 words before the first ...... This should be the worst dragonborn in many parallel worlds......

PS3: Try to use the level 20 cloth destruction method that only repairs miè and changes to get through Labrincian, no stealth, no medicine, no dragon roar, no weapons (sword, shield, axe, hammer, staff, bow, crossbow), ...... For the first time, I found out that the Dragon Sacrifice was so difficult to fight...... orz, in the past, it was always a slow start, and then rushed up to break dawn and hit a dozen swords to get it......
