057 Intelligence
A corner of Dawning Town.
Brave the morning breeze on the cobbled paths.
Roger was in a pretty good mood.
When hunting Jonny Turtle, Gargoyle is less efficient at killing.
But last night also gave him a 5-year lifespan.
It's not about the numbers.
It's the joy of being able to eat interest while lying down!
And today is on the way to come.
Roger's appearance of swaggering through the city with a gargoylee also attracted a lot of attention.
It won't be long before everyone knows that there's a new gargoyle in town.
This is very much in line with Roger's idea of wanting to show a little bit of strength and hide his strength.
With a powerful magical beast like a gargoyle as a servant, I'm afraid most people will mistake him for a warlock or mage.
A few people may be able to guess his ranger background.
Only when the real fight starts, will they find out that this guy is actually a martial artist!
As for the real hole card professional hero hidden.
Only the dead know.
……
Cross an open road and make two more detours.
Roger finally arrived at his destination.
The area ahead is uplifted.
Densely covered in the sunlight are rows of low houses.
Outside the low house, people come and go, which is comparable to an information exchange area.
This is the "Business Area".
It is a place where officials specialize in public affairs.
Needless to say, this novel government system is naturally also from the hands of Alain.
It is said that when I was lucky, I was able to meet Alain himself working in a low house.
Roger walked over.
As he passed by the lord's house, he deliberately slowed down.
"Looks like luck isn't good."
Looking at the closed door, Roger came to the "Monster Information Section" next to him with some regret.
This is where the official sells or collects information on monsters.
There are a bit of a lot of people today.
Roger waited in line for a long time before it was his turn.
The clerk who received him was a sturdy and capable bald head.
Even in a low, less well-lit room, the shiny head is still very eye-catching.
"Sell or buy?"
The bald head speaks quickly without a trace of emotion.
Roger glanced at the nameplate on the table - "Hansen. Urde".
"Buy." He got straight to the point and said, "Jonny Turtle." ”
Hansen frowned:
"Going for the bounty?"
Roger didn't shy away from it, and nodded slightly.
"Personally, I suggest you think carefully."
Hansen put down the pen in his hand and naturally crossed his hands together:
"Since the beginning of this year, Lord Lordship has raised the bounty of Jonny Turtle four times in a row - anyone who is smart should understand what this means."
"We don't recommend young adventurers to waste their energy on such a difficult bounty."
Roger waved his hand quietly.
The gargoyle hiding in the shadows flew quickly and landed on his arm with a strong spirit.
"Gargoyles?"
Hansen suddenly showed a hint of respect: "It seems that I lack eyesight. ”
In the next second, he suddenly lowered his voice:
"But Jonny Turtle's official intelligence fee is 500 copper orders."
"It's very expensive."
"If you insist on trying, I've got a cheap piece of private information here - just five bronze orders."
"Believe me, after listening to the private information, you will be grateful that I saved the 500 bronze order for you."
Roger narrowed his eyes.
Is this an abuse of power?
"Yes."
Roger quickly ordered 5 bronze orders and handed them over.
Hansen cleared his throat and whispered:
"The source of the Jonny turtle is at the bottom of the Serra River!"
Roger's pupils shrank, and he immediately realized something.
Without waiting for him to think.
Hansen spoke at great speed as he recounted what he knew.
……
It turned out at the beginning of the Jonny turtle flood.
Alain himself went out to try to solve the problem of the proliferation of such monsters.
At that time, he proposed two possible ideas.
The first is to deal with the monster itself.
That is, the large-scale culling of the Jonny turtle.
This line of thinking soon proved to be unworkable.
There is nothing people can do with the Jonny turtle.
To this end, Alain deliberately designed a new type of mace that can wreak down the Jonny turtle.
But in the end, he failed.
Jonny Turtle ran too fast to hammer it to death.
The second way of thinking is to eliminate the source or nest of the Jonny turtle.
It would have been a great idea.
It can be accompanied by a gradual deepening of the investigation.
Alain found that all the clues point to the cursed river!
All the Jonny turtles crawled out of the Serra River.
If you want to cut off their nests, you have to go deep into the Serra River.
This is obviously a very dangerous thing to do.
Neither way of thinking will work.
The hunt for Jonny's turtle is at an impasse.
……
"I see."
Roger nodded slightly.
"Listen to me, right?"
Hansen took a sip of water, and his tone returned to coldness:
"It's okay, let's go next."
Roger pretended to think for a moment before he spoke:
"I still want to buy the official information of the Jonny Turtle."
In his opinion, Alain's intelligence is of certain reference value.
Roger now also has a headache about how to better hunt the Jonny turtle.
The "suicide bracelet" is too restrictive to be used as a regular means.
"Huh?"
Hansen was stunned for a moment, after repeatedly confirming that Roger was not joking.
He stood up.
He took out a sealed file from the cupboard behind him and handed it to Roger.
"Give."
By the way, he also returned the 5 bronze orders just now to Roger.
Roger was a little confused, so "Is it a 500 bronze order?" ”
Hansen blinked:
"No, it's free."
Roger was stunned for a moment.
Hansen shrugged:
"We wish someone would solve this tricky matter, how can we be stingy with intelligence fees?"
"All those who insist on buying intelligence are free of charge."
Roger took the file and asked:
"Then why don't you choose to make the information public?"
Hansen is colorful:
"One, as I said, we don't want to waste the energy of most ordinary adventurers. In the face of high bounties, few people recognize themselves. ”
"Second, if you still insist on buying it after listening to my "private information", it means that you probably already have some solution in mind. And your strength is strong enough, this kind of talent is what we need. ”
"Thirdly, Lord Alain once said, 'Most information should be transparent, and most information should be circled.'"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but touch his shiny bald head.
"Actually, I don't understand this sentence very well, but Lord Alan can't be wrong."
Roger nodded thoughtfully.
……
After leaving the business district with the information, Roger returned to the business district.
He walked around the wooden shed in the rental area, never making up his mind.
Most of the houses used for rent are in Dawn Town.
This does not correspond to his range of activities.
After all, he was going for Jonny Turtle.
And the areas where Jonny turtles are infested belong to major farms.
Except for the farmer's own house, most of the farms are shacks where people and animals live.
The sanitary conditions were unacceptable to Roger.
Looking at it, Roger found that it was the Charcoal Inn that best met his needs!
But the hotel also has the trouble of the hotel, and it is not your own house that cannot be opened after all.
Roger was a little tangled.
Before he knew it, he had wandered into the "farm area".
An ad in front of him caught his attention.
……
"Real Estate Sale: Sale of Senlo Farm at a Low Price, Please Contact Mr. Smith if you are interested"
……
"Because the crop failed due to the Jonny turtle flood, you had to sell the farm to pay off the debt?"
Roger's eyes suddenly lit up:
"The identity of the farmer seems to be not bad."
He quickly jotted down Mr. Smith's contact address.
……
At night.
In a single room at the Charcoal Inn.
Roger wears a crow crown and sits upright.
The gargoyle was released early by him to hunt Jonny Turtle, and he himself was in a daily gas sync.
It's just that tonight seems to feel a little different.
Roger could tell.
The mystical energy in the crow's crown has become more active.
And deep within his body, something faintly awakened.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Eyes open and blink.
A strange current of heat rushed down his spine to his head.
……
"You've successfully comprehended 'qi'!"
……
