Chapter 13: Righteousness and Wealth
After making up his mind, in addition to destroying monsters every day, Pan Long looked around on the lookout platform at the highest point of the lookout every day, and walked around Black Skull Island before dark in the evening to see if there were any traces of others landing on the island.
In the process of destroying monsters, he often visited the place where the seal was sealed to make sure that the seal had not been broken.
If anyone really wants to go to the island to break the seal and release the Demon King, then he will fight this person to the end.
Lao Tzu can't beat the demon king, can't he beat you!
After a few more days like this, he never saw the careerist who came to break the seal, but he saw a warship approaching.
"Oh, it's July. He sighed to himself.
Piketown's soldiers patrol Black Skull every two months, and except for a slight delay during the New Year's Day, the rest of the odd-numbered months arrive on the first of the month.
...... Of course, this is not some irreversible iron law, and if there is a strong wind and rain, they will naturally postpone it for a few days.
The weather is good these days, and of course they won't postpone it.
Seeing this ship, Pan Long realized that it was already July.
He came to Black Skull Island in late May, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
"Time flies!"
The warship entered the harbor, and more than a dozen soldiers disembarked and were on guard, but saw Pan Long walking out of the lookout.
"Are you soldiers from Pike Town?" he asked, "I'm a reserve brave from the Royal Capital Warrior School, and I've come here to kill monsters and cultivate." ”
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect to see a living person on the island where the Demon King was sealed. A moment later, a helmet was decorated with feathers, which should have been the captain's and asked, "You said that you are a reserve brave, what evidence do you have?"
Pan Long smiled, he really had evidence.
Before setting off to cultivate, the principal gave him a certificate. The certificate was written by the headmaster himself, with the magic seal of the Brave Training Course and the signature of His Majesty the King, which is very evidence.
This is the identity of the Prepared Brave, and everyone will get it. However, his classmates will not be able to get their ...... until they have finished their basic studies and started to go out to cultivate That was probably this winter.
The certificate he has in his hand now is the only one in the world, and it is unique.
The team leader looked at his proof, and asked the military mage to verify the seal with magic, and finally confirmed his identity.
Then, the gazes they looked at Pan Long were suddenly different. The color of vigilance is gone, only respect and affection.
Courage is a profession that everyone respects, even if it is just a preparation for the brave.
This prepared brave man specially went to Black Skull Island to cultivate, which shows that he is a warm-hearted person for the country and the people - of course, the brave are all enthusiastic people, how can they be brave if they are not enthusiastic?
What soldiers like the most is this kind of enthusiastic person who has the courage to do things and can do things well!
"Mr. Brave, can you sign my name? My son has admired the brave the most since he was a child!"
"Sign me too, I've admired the brave since I was a child!"
Among the dozen or so people, six or seven came up and asked Pan Long to sign autographs for them.
After the signature, everyone is familiar with it. After entering the lookout and lighting a bonfire to rest, the team leader asked Pan Long about what he had seen and heard on the island during this time.
"There's nothing special about it, it's just that the more you go to the core, the heavier the miasma. Pan Long said, "Also, the monsters here are very hostile to light-attribute spells, and every time I cast the lighting technique, I can attract a group of people who will trouble me." ”
When the team leader heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What should I do after I get it?"
Pan Long pointed to a few large wooden boxes placed in the corner: "Well, it's all there." ”
The team leader was stunned for a moment, walked over curiously, lifted a lid and took a look, and was immediately surprised.
"This ...... It's all here?"
"See for yourself. ”
So the team leader looked at the contents of each box and couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's all good stuff, especially the last box. He said, "That's a lot of money!"
Although the monsters from the Demon Realm are not abundant, the quantity can make up for everything. In the past month or so, Pan Long has killed a considerable number of monsters, and he has naturally obtained a lot of loot.
Especially in the recent period, he has been destroying those very powerful monsters. These monsters are powerful, and the loot they leave behind is of course more valuable.
They were in the last box the team leader looked at.
"I don't have time to deal with them. Pan Long said, "If you are willing to help, help me bring it back and sell it." ”
"Absolutely. But that big sum of money...... Do you want to take it with you? It's a bit heavy to change into gemstones. ”
Pan Long smiled: "Buy me recovery drugs, especially detoxification grass, buy a little more, the consumption is really a bit large." ”
The squad leader nodded: "But I don't think it will take much, it's too much." ”
"Then divide it among the fishermen in each village. Pan Long thought for a while and said, "They have a hard time, so it's good to make them happy." ”
The team leader was suddenly in awe, stood up straight as if facing his boss, and replied loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!"
Pan Long just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Money is such a thing, if you don't bring it in life, if you don't bring it in death, just enough it.
Not to mention the money of this world, even if it is the money of the Kyushu world, he often gets it from the villains' homes, except for the inconvenient ones that are buried in the "treasure of a penny hero", the rest of his own pocket money, most of which are distributed to the poor.
Jianghu rangers, fighting righteousness and squandering money, about the same.
It's just a habit for him.
Early the next morning, the soldiers left by boat. The team leader assured with a serious face that he would complete Pan Long's entrustment well, as if he was going to the battlefield.
He did do it very seriously, and on the night of July 3, a clipper arrived at Black Skull Island and delivered the supplies that Pan Long had requested.
Needless to say, there are many higher recovery agents and comprehensive antidotes, and even the highest grade of high recovery drugs and high comprehensive recovery agents have one each.
"It costs a lot of money, right?" Pan Long frowned and said, "There's no need, I don't need such a high-end thing." ”
"Be prepared, maybe you'll need it sometimes. The soldier in charge of the delivery smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is still more than half of that money left, enough to send supplies to all the nearby fishing villages." ”
"Supplies?"
"Hmm. Our general said that if you send money directly, everyone will be happy, but it is estimated that you will be reluctant to use it if you save it, and it will be possible to save it for several generations. Not only does it not help, but it may even attract thieves. It is better to buy supplies and distribute them to really benefit them. ”
The soldier explained: "He is already in contact with businessmen who are doing large business, and in half a month at most, he will be able to implement this matter." ”
Pan Long suddenly realized that he couldn't help but admire a little.
This general of Piketown is really a person who can do things, and this detail is what he didn't expect.
If you recall carefully, in fact, there are many famous sayings in this regard in previous lives, such as "it is better to send money than to send materials" and "it is better to give work to disaster relief"...... It's all the details that make things better.
Pan Long couldn't help but reminisce, and then shook his head again.
He probably won't have the opportunity to be a "principal official" in his life, what's the use of recalling this?
Are you really ready to rebel and succeed as emperor?
...... Even if he becomes the emperor, what the emperor should do is to choose those talented and moral officials, instead of pointing fingers and interfering with the work of the officials.
Forget it, it's all too far away, so let's concentrate on the present.
The following days were as always, except for the excitement of the battle, the rest of the time was as calm as a pool of clear water.
The only minor episode was when the soldiers from Piketown visited him again, and in addition to taking the loot he had saved up again, they reported to him on the purchase and distribution of supplies.
They do this very carefully, and there are detailed accounts for the use of every gold coin, making sure that nothing is missing.
In the words of the general: We can't help the brave who are fighting, but at least we can't drag the brave back.
As time passed, the number of monsters on Black Skull Island gradually decreased. By the end of July, there was only one powerful monster left on the entire island, except for those low-level monsters who were huge in number and weak and relied on their vigorous reproductive ability to maintain their race.
A zombie wyvern.
This guy usually lies motionless near the seal, like a gray-black stone, and he doesn't even bother to hunt. But if there is a light energy in the vicinity that it loathes, it will thunder, roar and roll over to its feet, looking for the power it loathes and destroying it.
Pan Long also discovered it by accident when he was on patrol, and at first he thought it was just a stone, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it didn't look right. After recalling it carefully for a long time, I remembered the origin of this guy - it is the biggest boss of Skull Island in the plot and the gatekeeper of Demon King City.
Considering the terrain and the factors of the four braves, it can even be said that this guy is a little more difficult to deal with than the Demon King.
When fighting the Demon King, he can only hit one or two people with a wide range of attacks with the help of the terrain, and he can also let the four brave men regain their youth to beat him in groups. But when it comes to fighting this zombie wyvern, it's a dilemma.
There are fewer people, and the speed at which it loses blood can't keep up with the speed at which it recovers every turn in the miasma.
There are too many people, so prepare to attack the "Death Dragon's Breath" in a large group of its groups.
Pan Long remembered that when he first played, everyone went on it together, fought it to the end, and cut off the last bit of its blood before it was destroyed by the death dragon.
Anyway, the character who was killed won't really die, just a temporary exit. In the face of this damn thick-skinned monster, what other way is there than to pile up human heads?
The online guide does introduce some ways to deal with it, and the best way is to get the dragon slayer sword, dragon slayer gun and dragon slayer bow in the previous game.
Let three powerful reserve warriors use these three dragon slaying weapons separately, each with a ranged healer as a support, and the three of them will attack together, and they will be able to knock it down before the healing ability can keep up with the damage to the blood.
There is no difficulty in the whole process, except for watching the blood bar go up and down and playing with a little heartbeat.
But Pan Long didn't have a group of reliable teammates who could go to the death with him, nor did he have any of the three dragon slayers.
It was possible for the soldiers of Piketown to help him, but those soldiers were completely vulnerable to the Death Dragon's Breath, and could kill them half their lives in a single blow, so they couldn't help at all.
If he wants to slay the dragon, he will have to rely on himself......
