Slow 40.3-D1 15 Curse Chapter: Past, Gambling and Leaving the Palace
·
Fierting looks a little changed because you gave her the secret medicine of the "young patriarch", and the aura of the whole person is slightly different, and her gestures look a little leader.
The Elk Stalker has been added to the five-member team, and in addition to Coco and Lockpicker, three new advanced classes have been added: Shadow Dancer, Trickster, and Pioneer Historian. After all, Coco is loyal to you, and she has followed you at night, so of course she should be given priority if there are good team members.
There are now 7 fingers missing—Annette, the front row instructor, Julianne, Raymond, Lucy Xia, Coco, Fieltin. You'll need to keep at least two fingers, otherwise you won't be able to wear the Breath of Life and the Witch Ring, as it must be worn on your finger to work on you, which means there is a high risk of sleeping on Raumi.
You grasp the Chance Stone and look at Matthew, who is chatting with his companions, with his back to you.
Don't bother to explain what the Chance Stone is, in fact neither you nor Raomi understand how it works. So, you throw the Chance Stone at the back of Matthew's head.
Swish!
Matthew dodged like a long eye on the back of his head!
The original sturdy crystalline shell of the Chance Stone was gently cut through Matthew's hair as soon as it touched it, bursting like a soap bubble. The aura inside was like a liquid, some of it was stained in Matthew's hair, and some of it flew straight forward, spilling on the stone steps at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild Hall.
"I'm scared, scared to death, you're really childlike, President. Matthew stroked his chest, thinking it was an assassination, but when he turned around, he found that it was just a soap bubble with a dim yellow liquid, a prank.
Cha
One foot, stepping on the aura on the stone steps. The visitor looked down at the soles of his shoes, as if something had evaporated. He scratched his head and decided to turn the page on this little thing—the bard male, the Terran, with a ukulele on his back and a dagger and flute around his waist.
A chance stone, weakened and split into two parts: the new adventurer and Matthew.
You happened to trigger the curse of "Sudden Exit" at this time, and you had no choice but to help your forehead, and now the trigger rate is 50%. Hathaway hurriedly instructed, you have to disappear in place for a while, everyone in the guild will watch and deal with everything, and the territory is dominated by Melanie. As soon as you finished speaking, you disappeared in place,
Out of thin air.
Everyone is staring at where you once stood. Your cronies know the specific abilities of your "apostle," but they don't spread it. Most of the adventurers were stunned. Tong En was dumbfounded and muttered, "...... I thought the president was just talking. This can't be an arcane teleportation, right?"
The maidens turned their heads to look at the angels,
"The divine power of genuine value. The angel flapped his wings lightly and flew down behind the counter, sighing, "Why...... I can't understand that I want to learn this kind of thing. In any case, she must obey whatever will of her own gods, or she will fall. Man does not have the right to choose to be born, and the same is true of angels, she has become an angel who is a man-made demigod, and even the level of the gods is lower than herself.
Is he?—Fiertin asked.
Indeed, the angel asserted.
Fierdin now has an important task of training new receptionists for the guild. In addition, she also needs to fulfill the duties of the patriarch and hold the power in the palm of her hand, otherwise Lohoyo and the elf secretary will make trouble without permission for the second time, and even she, the patriarch, will hide it.
The Bard was a member of the newly registered Adventurer Squad "Impromptu Map" named "Raphael". He stood at the door of the hall and looked inside, not intending to come in, as if looking for you.
The captain of the "Impromptu Map", a brown bearded dwarven ranger, suddenly approached and patted Raphael on the back: "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"I just want to see the legendary adventurer's guild leader, local lord, and viscount. Raphael shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a wry smile, "The world of big people is really unpredictable. Before I could see it, he suddenly disappeared in place, and it didn't look like he was magical. ”
"Alright, everyone is ready, just waiting for you, let's go explore the dungeon, haha!"
"Well, sorry, let's go. ”
Raphael was about to leave, but he passed by a man dressed in a luxurious brain, who entered the adventurer's guild hall with a beautiful woman covered in light silk tulle.
Obviously, this fat man is definitely not here to register the adventurer. From the moment he entered the door, Tong En immediately recognized the other party, then lightly touched Hathaway with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "It's a viscount, I have seen him in the royal city." ”
Hathaway brace herself and lead the rest of the staff to greet her and salute respectfully.
"Hehe, it's even more decent than rumored, yes, really good, this is a good place, the girls are very beautiful and of high quality. The fat man nodded, patted his belly and smiled, "I am Viscount Jim Downsm, and my territory is in the northwest of the labyrinth village, a little farther away, and I have important matters to discuss with your lord, the Elder, in detail." ”
This......
Hathaway saluted, "I'm sorry, but the president is not in a hurry at the moment, and has given us some level of authority to handle affairs on our behalf. Why don't you move into the reception room inside, sit down with a cup of tea, and tell us more about your commission?"
"Commission?" Viscount Jim Downsm was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolling, and he suddenly smiled, "In a sense, it's more like a proposal for cooperation. I don't think a few staff members have the authority to be such a big master. When will the elders come back?"
Belch......
How did Hathaway know that it would be half a day at least, or a day or two at most? This ability is a curse and cannot be mastered by itself.
Suddenly, the beautiful woman beside her tugged at the Viscount, pointed behind her happily and said, "I just feel familiar, Lord Viscount, look! He is "Matthew"!"
"Uh?...... You...... Could it be ......" Matthew's eyes widened when he heard this, revealing an expression of disbelief and amazement, pointing at the beautiful woman, and the sentence could not be smoothed...... Ah, Alyssa?"
"Witch sighs" The other members were a little stunned by the scene in front of them, and Hathaway and the others were also stunned in place - Viscount Jim Downsme suddenly shifted his interest to Matthew's body, stretched out his fat hand wearing several gemstone rings, held Matthew's hand enthusiastically, and shook it up and down vigorously, the words were sonorous: "You are Matthew? Sure enough, you are a hero and a young man, worthy of his name, exactly the same as the image of a shrewd and capable young man described by Alyssa! No, even more than that!" Jiuyang, in fact, I came to you today. ”
Matthew blinked, looked around quickly, and then stared into the depths of the viscount's pupils: "...... Where did you hear my name?"
"In the mouth of the manager of the ancient city market. That lord has recently made a fortune, and he has dragged many of his subordinates to rise to the top. Yesterday, I went to talk to him about cooperation, and he was full of praise for you. The Viscount recalled, "A once-in-a-century genius." ”
“...... I'm just an ordinary person. My lord is really overrated. ”
"Reliability is the most valuable talent of this era. I've heard that a genius archmage of Heraran recently died at the hands of the president? Some of the so-called true geniuses are really just self-illusions. I've also done some research, and I've found that you're an adventurer with a fairly wide range of abilities. ”
Raphael listened from afar, and his brow twitched.
He stopped and walked slowly into the hall.
The Viscount continued to say to Matthew, "The matter I came to talk to the President today is actually related to you. I set up a huge gamble in the nearby wilderness, where an adventurer and two mercenaries helped build four new settlements, and in the end there was only one team of winners. Building a colony is like a labyrinthine village, and all you four squads need to do is help the immigrants build their homes, and there's more to do than just carry wood and kill goblins. It's a gamble for the magnates, hope for tomorrow for the bereaved populace of the North, glory and wealth for you—it's not going to keep you busy, is it?"
Matthew was silent.
"I need to ask my companion for ......"
Scarlett immediately leaned over and asked, "How much is the reward?" - "If you can cooperate with the guild, each task will be paid as usual, and the final prize for winning will be 2,000 gold." Please consider the gratitude of the local people to you, prestige is also important to you, right?"
Serafino pouted: "What good can you get?" - "I will gamble and take nothing, but the new settlement will become my territory." I think that after all the hard work of financing, evacuating refugees, and negotiating supplies, such a return should be reasonable, right?"
Ash touched his chin, "How large?" - "The village is enough." The winning team merges the villages that the other three teams helped to build to form a large village. ”
Sain raised his hand and asked, "Is there a problem with the eviction of the local aborigines?" - "Unfortunately, there are indeed scattered hunter farmers, and how to deal with them is the problem of the participating teams." ”
The four of them put their hands on Matthew's shoulders, and Matthew stepped forward to hold the Viscount's hand: "If you can reach a cooperation with the guild, we will be happy to participate." He glanced at Alyssa next to him, hesitated, and then asked, "...... Excuse me, ...... you and her?"
"My ......," Viscount grinned, "an extra prize I have for you." Win, your childhood sweetheart is yours. ”
Faced with Alyssa's sweet greasy smile, Matthew was silent again, unnaturally silent.
“...... Isn't that, right?"
"Of course it is! I've got extra prizes for each of the participating teams, if you win. ”
suddenly
"Do we, then, have one too?" – Raphael suddenly raised his hand and interjected from the door. He leaned against the door and looked at the Viscount and Matthew, "If I'm not mistaken, you just said that you went to the ancient city market "yesterday", presumably to recruit a team of mercenaries, right? The "Impromptu Map" adventurer squad is happy to serve you. ”
Abrupt interjection.
The captain of the dwarves dragged Raphael to bend over and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"A series of quests, high bounties, territorial prestige, helping refugees, why not?" Raphael gestured with his eyes, and the other two companions also came, "Why not ask them?"
After explaining like this, the sorceress smiled: "What a rare opportunity, you can make sure you don't lose money, even if you lose, you have completed many tasks, and you still have prestige." ”
"Building a new home sounds like a lot of fun, count me in. The halfling raised his palm.
The four of them high-fived each other,
Negotiations were then made with the viscount, and a consensus was quickly reached. Now, "Witch's Sigh" and "Impromptu Map" have joined the game.
"That. Raphael pointed to the magical tiara on the viscount's forehead, "If we win, hopefully the extra prize will be that tiara." "There are some classes that are very good at identifying magic items, and the Bard is the first to bear the brunt. Raphael could see at a glance that the crown had the effect of manipulating an elf creature, and it was very powerful, such as making a Pik Spirit, Dryad, or even a Ghost Woman a slave forever.
"Hehe, what a talented young man, I'm looking forward to your performance. The Viscount hummed softly, in a good mood, and muttered in a low voice that it seemed that he could raise more money, and then negotiated with Hathaway and the others about cooperation. At this point, both teams of adventurers have shown a positive attitude, and the guild is really not easy to stop. "Promise first, if Linda finds out that it is a pit, the guild will never be afraid of a mere viscount, just slaughter it" is the result of the discussion between Hathaway and others.
The cooperation was reached.
Viscount Jim leaves. Alyssa took his arm and whispered, "It's so ruthless, give people away as things." ”
"What's the problem, didn't he give you a lot of money before?"
"It was his willingness, and I didn't ask him. ”
"What's the loss? I've heard that Matthew has shirked many women, proving that he has you in his heart, where to find such a good man. Besides, he's got to win, hehe. ”
The two laughed and walked into the teleportation array.
"Witch Sigh" The four people on this side all tightly surrounded their captain, grinning and gossiping, asking questions and asking questions that always revolved around the topic of Alyssa. Fierting pricked up his ears and hid in the distance, picking up a small notebook and a pen.
"It's nothing, it's just a companion when I was a child, an ex-girlfriend. I was only 11 or 12 years old at the time, and many children depended on each other as a family. ”
"It was because of her that she was in debt before?"
"She, my sick mother, my childhood companion back home...... As I've always said: money matters. ”
"Hey, I see your childhood sweetheart is just a bitch, wake up. ”
Matthew was silent. After a long time, he just said: "A lot of the past is like a curse, you can't shake it off, you can't forget it." ”
"A lot of the past is like a curse, you can't shake it off, you can't forget it. Outside the guild, Raphael inadvertently responded to his companions' questions with the same words as someone far away.

It just so happened that through the receptionist training, all the changelings got together. Hathaway asked Elizabeth to count how many people were ready to resign now that the guild was like this.
A,0 (Difficulty 23)
b, 1 person (difficulty 18)
C, 2 people (difficulty 13)
D, 3 people (difficulty 8)
All failed, 4 people.
