Chapter 46: The Bounty and the Old Man
After this brutal battle, everyone was really tired and out of strength. And Zhang Yang was also silently suffering the sequelae of electric energy enhancement at this time, and his face was also pale. But even so, Zhang Yang still urged everyone to bury the bodies of the dead as soon as possible and harvest the spoils.
Booty? Is there any treasure material on the corpses of this group of fishmen? In fact, these fish-men are exactly the ones wanted by the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurers' Guild. Each normal fish-man head can be exchanged for 20 credits from any guild. And an elite fishman's head can be exchanged for 50 credits! As for Scareye's demonic creature, Binny says it can be exchanged for at least 5 gold coins! That doesn't sound like a lot of money. But for ordinary mercenaries and adventurers. It's already a worthwhile income. So Benny and Rook are busy harvesting the fish-man's head. Even so, even though Binny and Rook knew that Scar-Eye's head was the most valuable, they consciously didn't touch it. It was the trophy of the master who sat next to him and rested. What's more, being able to single-handedly take on such a master of demonizing monsters is not something that a few rookies can provoke. What's more, they just saved their lives.
The river at night is obviously more dangerous, but I don't know if it's because Scareye died, and after a long time, until everyone finished cleaning up the battlefield, they didn't see any other fishmen or monsters. At this time, the busy group walked back with a large bag and a small wrap, although it was still more than ten miles away from Balxus, but because it was a few beasts in the woods around the city after all, even if there were occasional beasts, it was not necessarily that even low-level demonic beasts were infested. As for the slightly intelligent cannibals and the like, they were either killed or moved out early. So nothing happened until the group walked to the main road 3 miles away. Oh, and it's not all without surprises. Zhang Yang's little package is fine. But the package that Binny and Luke were carrying was simply too big. Because of the suddenness of the attack, and the fact that they were all a bunch of rookies, a large bag of fish-man heads had not been treated, and it was extremely fishy when asked. It actually attracted countless flies and bugs~ Binny and Luke, who were biting directly, complained frequently. Obviously, it was impossible for Nilgerina and the three girls to do such a dirty, disgusting physical job. And Zhang Yang only cut off the head of Scarhead, and the rest was handed over to Binny. That's why flies and bugs gather along the way, and blood and water stink all the way. It wasn't until he was about to get on the road that Zhang Yang, who couldn't stand it, ran into the woods and got some mosquito repellent plants to light a fire.
At this time, Zhang Yang and Nierjielina were walking in front of everyone, but Zhang Yang was reprimanding Nierjielina in a low voice at this time.
"Do you know how dangerous it is this time?"
Zhang Yang held the torch and still said with a flat face.
"Yes, sir. But I can't die without help? ”
Niljielina replied with a slight apprehension. She is very afraid of Zhang Yang, not fearful, but it is a little like a child who is afraid of Mr. Teaching.
"Almost, a little, you're dead. That's, yours, the choice? ”
Zhang Yang was still a little angry in his heart. Actually, I'm still worried a little more.
"No, my lord, I just think that my conscience tells me what to do in the face of such a thing. I didn't think much about it at the time, and I knew you would save me. ”
Nierjielina said a little naively at this time.
"Zero. Do it yourself, think, right, thing, that's right. However, it is best to do what you can. Besides, I can't, always, can, save you. People, more, still, to rely on, themselves. ”
Zhang Yang said so many things for the first time. The straight Nirgerina bowed her head.
Could it be that what you said was heavier? No matter what, it's for her good. Zhang Yang has always been bad at scrutinizing girls' minds. In fact, how could Nierjielina, who lowered her head, be unhappy? She's secretly laughing!
Master Wright is indeed a very gentle person, but he is not good at expressing himself. Besides, I have always believed in you and that you could save my life in this crisis......
After that, there was no word all the way. It's just that when I entered the city, the big bag of fishy fish heads still caused a lot of confusion. The people on the road were far away from Benny and Rook. The reason is that they stink so much. Soon after, Zhang Yang and the others came to the Mercenary Guild, why didn't they choose the Adventurer's Guild? It's just because the Mercenary Guild is closer.
Binny and Rook's bunch of fish-man heads still caused quite a stir, not least because of the large number of them. And it stinks...... At first, a group of mercenaries who couldn't sleep were still giggling and watching the fun, but when it became known that Benny's group of thirteen teenagers had only returned 5, many people were silent. But after a while, people started laughing again.
Now that you've chosen the mercenary or adventurer class, you'll have to get used to dying as soon as possible. Maybe it's Warcraft, maybe it's a partner, maybe it's yourself. So people have become accustomed to smiling at their fate and facing death. Although in the eyes of many people, it is really not worth it to die for this money.
Because of the heads of the 43 fishmen (including the elite fishmen), the mercenary levels of Binny, Rook, Sunny, and the terrified 2 girls have all increased by 1 level, reaching the level of a level 2 mercenary.
Through later conversations, Zhang Yang learned that most of the parents of these young people were also mercenaries or adventurers. Many of them disappeared early, mostly because of their grandparents or relatives. Therefore, they all have the dream of following in the footsteps of their parents, but how many can really understand the sadness represented by the word "missing"? Perhaps Benny and the others have understood by now, because they are about to tell the families of their dead companions, who have also gone out on adventures and disappeared......
Zhang Yang and Nierjielina thought that they would happily deliver the spoils of war and then take the money and leave, just like Benny and the others. Who knew that when he took out Scareye's head, the receptionist of the Mercenary Guild was greatly surprised! Then he quickly shouted, waited a while, and ran to the back. Zhang Yang was taken aback by his reaction, is there any problem? It was only a short time later, and it looked like it was leaking for about 5 minutes. An old man with a messy short white beard appeared in front of Zhang Yang's eyes with a smell of alcohol. As soon as he came out, he saw the ugly head of Scar-Eye on the table. I saw that he crossed a distance of seven or eight meters in two steps and came to the table. Looking at Scar-Eye's ugly head on the table, the old man couldn't help crying and laughing!
"Scar-eyed! Scar-eyed! You've finally got it today! Who is it? Which warrior killed this cunning and despicable fellow! ”
The old man shouted loudly with some uncontrollable emotions.
"It's me."
Zhang Yang's calm voice came clearly from the old man's side.
"You? How many steps are you? ”
"No order."
"Uh......?"
A quick conversation made the old man reflect the taste. It seems a little inappropriate to talk like this.
"I'm sorry, young man. I'm confused, did you kill this damn Scar-Eyed Fishman? ”
"Yes."
Zhang Yang replied calmly again.
The old man looked at Zhang Yang carefully, and then looked around to see the reactions of others, but suddenly he knelt down with a thud!
"Benefactor! Thank you for avenging me!! ”
The old man suddenly knelt down and cried, which directly confused Zhang Yang and the others. It took a long time to react, and then quickly helped the strange old man up.
After the conversation, Zhang Yang learned that in the past few months, many fishmen have suddenly appeared on the banks of the Doyasun River. These fish-men attack anyone they see a living person, and some of them are extremely murderous corpses! Many fishermen and traders who traveled by water were murdered, which is why there were wanted notices and rewards. The old man's name was Dubbins. He used to be a retired soldier, but later started a little leather business, and made his home in Balksus. In this way, more than 30 years have passed peacefully. But misfortune befell him a few months ago......
One day, Dubbins was in the shop taking care of business. Suddenly, one of his maids ran into his shop with blood and a left hand that was missing three fingers. At that time, he was also taken aback, and originally thought that he had encountered some robber or beast. Who would have thought that this maid would cry that Dubinson's little grandson and daughter-in-law and seven or eight maids were attacked by a large group of fishmen while playing by the Doyason River! Only this maid survived because of her age, and came back to report the news. When the news came, the Dubinsons felt as if they had been struck by lightning on a sunny day. Immediately after that, the angry Dubbins led a large group of mercenaries to the place where the accident occurred, and it was easy to find it. The fish man and man were not found, but a few fragments of corpses were found! The bad news almost broke old Dubbins. In the days that followed, Dubbins' two sons led the mercenaries to hang out on the banks of the Doyasson River. Seven days later, he encountered Scar-Eye and a large group of fish-men again, only this time, in addition to a few mercenaries who had escaped in the first place, Dubbins's two sons and about thirty mercenaries disappeared forever on the banks of the Doya River...... At this point, Dubins's originally happy life was shattered all at once. But the bad news was not only that, after knowing the news, Dubins's wife could not bear the blow and fell ill all at once, and died within a few days. Since then, the mercenary union has issued an additional notice. If anyone can kill Scareye, they will get all of his Dubbins! In order to take revenge, he has completely let go. And after that, the mercenaries who went to the old Dubbins's property went one stubble after another. In just two months, more than 170 people died! So for a long time after that, no one took on this weird death mission! Until he was accidentally killed by Zhang Yang last night.
After listening to the waiter's words, Zhang Yang also sighed again and again in his heart. This old man is really unlucky. But what can be done about it? The only good news is that Scareye is dead. The souls of old Dubbins' family can rest in peace, right? Many people may look down on Scareye and the fish-man of this vote, but Zhang Yang does know how difficult it is to deal with Scar-Eye and the fish-man miscellaneous soldiers after demonization! Fortunately, this matter is finally over, and he accidentally obtained all the old man's family property because of this?! Yes, all the family property, in the north of the city of Balxus, less than 200 meters away from the headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion, including his shop, there are nearly 5,000 gold coins! After a fussy and busy delivery, Zhang Yang found that the old Dubbins didn't leave even a single gold coin for himself! Although this wealth was reasonable and legal, Zhang Yang did not want the poor old man to starve to death on the streets in the future. So Zhang Yang stopped this old man who was full of tears and was already a little depressed.
"Sir, stay."
