Chapter 27 Delegation

Gary was awakened by a pungent smell of burnt.

When he just woke up, his head was still dizzy, and some of the rock snake's toxins still remained in his body, and his body was still very weak. He barely bothered up, and found three pairs of eyes staring at him in unison.

"Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? One of them, the elven magician asked with concern.

"It's fine." Gary shook his head slightly, and found that his throat was very dry and hoarse, and the handsome elf thoughtfully handed over a water bag.

Seeing that he drank some water and had the strength to speak, a handsome black-haired man asked with a smile, "Uncle, why did you come here alone?" ā€

Hearing this, Gary sighed.

He was an ordinary hunter, and he usually made a living by hunting in the outermost part of the Bell Wetlands. It's a pity that there was a riot in the nearby demonic beasts for a while, which caused his prey to drop sharply. However, I also have some domestic animals, so although my livelihood has been affected a lot, I can still maintain food and clothing.

Gary wanted to go deep into the wetlands for the sake of his only son.

His son was a second-order magician who attended the Magic Academy in Sunspring Town. Recently, I received a professional trial, and the content is to ask for a fourth-order magic core. Listen to him say that as long as he completes this trial, his rank can be raised to the fourth order.

Only the second-order son couldn't complete the trial at all, but he begged his father to help him find a way to do it, even if he bought one with gold coins. But the recent income is not satisfactory, and Gary has no money left over to buy a fourth-order magic core.

He also tried to issue a commission in Wangcheng, but unfortunately he couldn't respond for a long time. Unable to resist his son's repeated begging, he heard that there was a nest of fourth-order demonic beasts nearby, and Gary, who loved his son, could only take risks and go deep into the wetlands to hit his luck.

Maybe it's the favor of God, with years of experience, I didn't encounter any dangerous monsters along the way, and I found a place very smoothly. But just as he was about to explore carefully, a terrifying hiss sounded in his ears. His last memory was a bloody mouth, and then he had no memory......

It seems that these young people saved him, Gary secretly thought, and his favor for these three people soared to the peak in an instant.

After listening to Gary's dictation, the handsome young man nodded and handed him a string of fragrant barbecue, "Are you hungry?" Eat some first. ā€

He was a little embarrassed to take the meat skewers, his life was saved by others, and now he has to be taken care of by others, which is too great. "My name is Gary, I don't know what to call them?"

Unexpectedly, the young man paused when he heard his name, and quickly exchanged glances with the elves beside him, "My name is Ah Han, and his name is Ah Wen." When it was over, the young man pointed to the man who was sitting across the campfire and had been eating with his head down, "His name is Ade." ā€

Gary nodded knowingly, although he knew that the other party was using a pseudonym, but Gary would not be stupid enough to expose the other party - it was a big taboo to find out where the mercenary was.

Seeing that he was bowing his head and eating, the young man named Ah Han pretended to ask casually, "Uncle Gary, do you know where Locke Village is?" ā€

"Locke Village?" Gary smiled, "Yes, I live in Locke Village. ā€

"Huh? Are you Gary from Locke Village? ā€

Unexpectedly, several people were even more excited after knowing their identities, and Gary nodded puzzled, "Well, it's me." What's wrong? ā€

What does it mean to have nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them? I thought that it would be a very distant thing to find the client when I got to the place, but who knew that by mistake, they actually rescued the employer and took them out of the wetland! Du Yuhan's heart blossomed.

It seems that his luck is quite good.

"Uncle Gary, can you see if this is a commission from you?" Du Yuhan took out the mission letter.

"Huh? That's right...... "In order to write this entrustment letter, the illiterate self spent money to find someone to write it on their behalf, but why is it in their hands?" Did ...... "You took my commission?" ā€

Seeing them nodding, Gary smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face came out.

He almost lost his life on this trip, and Gary plans to stop taking risks and go back to find other ways to slowly save enough money to buy a magic core. He thought that this commission had been lost, and when he was about to give up, hope appeared in front of him again.

"What are you entrusting us with escorting?" Du Yuhan continued to ask.

"Escort?" Gary was stunned, "Isn't my commission to hunt a fourth-order demon core?" ā€

"Huh?" Du Yuhan handed the letter to Kevin again and read it carefully.

Kevin shook his head, "Uncle, your commission is for us to escort things. ā€

It turns out that the benchmark fee for hunting and entrusting an escort is completely different, and the difference between the two is nearly twenty times. Gary didn't know about the first commission, and when the ghostwriter asked him how much he could give in commission, Gary gave a price that was barely enough to cover the cost of the escort, so the ghostwriter wrote the commission type as an escort, not a hunt.

And Gary, who didn't know why, thought that after hunting, he would also send it to his son, so he directly posted the task in the mercenary hall. Barton, who was bent on letting Du Yuhan leave, saw that the task was not difficult, so he distributed it to Du Yuhan next.

Although it is very good that someone has accepted his commission, but he doesn't have a fourth-order magic core in his hand at all, how can he let someone else escort him?

The other party is an experienced mercenary team, and Gary has also thought about buying one from the other party, but he doesn't know if his money is enough to pay, and others have already saved his life, so how can he be shy and ask others to lower the price?

Du Yuhan was also in trouble, but he didn't expect the employer to even have mission items, so how could they escort him?

The three of them muttered and discussed in a low voice, but they didn't think of any good way.

Heywood, who had been gnawing on fried bee chrysalis, opened his mouth, "That's not easy, we entrusted him to take us out of the wetland, and he added some money to entrust us to hunt a fourth-order demon core." ā€

Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, the other party was a seasoned hunter, he could come to this dangerous place alone, he must know some safety trails, wasn't the original intention of saving people to get out of this ghost place?

Who knew that when Du Yuhan proposed yƬ to Garry, he was rejected by the other party.

"How's that going to work? The road I took was known to the hunters in the village, so just ask. You have saved my life, how can I take advantage of you? Gary said seriously, "Even if you don't entrust me, I'll take you out." ā€

Tried to persuade him repeatedly but failed to get consent, looking at this honest uncle, Du Yuhan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, uncle, how much money do you have?" ā€

"Huh?"

"That's right, you can see it, we can't hold so many things on our bodies, so we want to get rid of some magic cores." As he spoke, Du Yuhan took out a fourth-order fire attribute demon core dug out from the queen bee from his pocket, "Do you have what you want?" ā€

Seeing that Gary was still hesitant, Kevin added, "Uncle Gary, even if you don't want it, we plan to lose it." ā€

Looking at these smiling young people, Gary was very emotional. The fourth-order magic core is the cheapest from three hundred gold coins, and the fire attribute is even more expensive. Three hundred gold coins is enough for a family of three to eat for half a year, he is not old and confused, and he knows very well in his heart that they are just giving him a step.

"I promised to buy this core, but you guys have to go to my house."

"Uh, why?" Du Yuhan was puzzled. As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Gary gives them the gold coins on his body, he can set off to escort them.

"I don't have enough money on me now, so I can give you the money when I go to my house." There were a few cattle and some trade goods at home, and although they were not of much value, they should add up to two hundred gold coins.

Since the other party insisted repeatedly, Du Yuhan didn't say anything anymore and nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, they decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

***************

In the dead of night, everyone else fell asleep, and Du Yuhan, who stayed to keep vigil, was bored eating fried bee chrysalis.

The fat bee pupae are stir-fried with basic salt, and they have a burnt aroma and are very crispy and delicious to eat. Kevin was full of praise for eating, but he didn't expect that the ugly-looking bugs would make people appetizing after they were fried. As for Heywood, he buried his head in the side and ate violently, and then wondered why his vindictive spirit had not increased much.

Worried about being eaten all at once, Du Yuhan said that this would be slowly accumulated over many years, and Heywood was very puzzled, but he still put away the remaining bee chrysalis baby.

He took out the strange black stone, and when he looked at it in the moonlight, the stone emitted a faint black light, and the outermost layer faintly revealed a blue-purple circle of light. The stone inside has a dark purple pattern, and the most amazing thing is that the pattern is like a flowing liquid that slowly shakes as the stone rotates.

Du Yuhan, who had never seen this kind of peculiar ore, fiddled with it for a long time, thought about it and took it out again, but he still couldn't extract the material in the ore.

The strangest thing is that the wind wood stone in the cave looks colorful, but after extracting it, it has become the most basic blue-white. I remember that the teacher of the academy once said that the extraction of the material does not affect its properties at all, but why does the wind, wood and stone become different after extraction?

After thinking about it and still not being able to figure it out, Du Yuhan opened the bracelet boredly and pulled out a round sphere, tapped the material of the wind wood stone with his left hand, and then dotted on the white mold that he pulled out. A layer of white shimmer instantly surrounded the entire small ball, and after a while, a round stone ball emitted a dazzling light in his hand.

Perhaps the quality of the material used in the ball is very small, and it does not have the same aggressive fighting spirit as in the cave, but it feels like it is surrounded by a soft magnetic field, warm and moist, and very easy to handle.

Du Yuhan threw the ball of light in his hand, and was very satisfied with the model with materials he had completed for the first time.

He thought about it, they might have to camp in the wild for a few more days, and if something happened in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be practical to rely on Kevin's Radiance to illuminate every time. He is the worst of the few, so how can he increase his burden?
