Chapter Twenty-Six: Bring an umbrella without a knife on a rainy day
The amount of the bounty depends on the difficulty of the task.
The previous group of adventurers who came to take the mission were all wiped out for the five gold coins, and no one dared to take this mission since then.
Five gold coins is not a lot for a junior mage like Shiru with a small income, but it is not enough for Leotis, who spends a lot of money.
And this price is not the hiring price of a mid-level knight.
"Count your luck as luck as I took this task."
Leotis is currently too strapped to pay for his entry into the city, and now he has to earn some money to make ends meet.
"Really, really? Are you really willing to help the village of Seka catch this prisoner? The tavernkeeper's eyes widened in disbelief.
The other party is an honorary nobleman, and he is simply a good man to risk for five gold coins.
"Of course, don't you want to find some way to catch him?" Leotis drank it all in one gulp and said heroically, "I'll catch him tonight!" ”
The tavern owner hurriedly asked the clerk to go to the village chief, who rushed over on crutches.
He had already received a report on the escort's behavior of letting people in without permission, and he thought it was a domineering nobleman, but he didn't expect to be willing to help the village.
After the two sides carried out the simple task contract formalities, Chu Yun couldn't help but interject and ask, "How long has your village been locked down?" Has that villain ever appeared these days? ”
The village chief said with a bitter face: "Hey, in fact, even if the village is closed and patrols are strengthened these days, people are still being arrested. ”
"That guy must be hiding near the village!"
Leotis patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll go outside to inspect in a while, as long as I'm here, he will never dare to come!" ”
Leotis's strength is considered to be at the upper middle level even among the mid-level knights, and his mentality at this time is a little inflated, and he doesn't care much about this enemy who only dares to bully the villagers in the village.
Chu Yun was noncommittal, and after dinner, he found a hotel near the tavern to stay in.
As for Leotis, he was invited by the village chief to live in his house for free, and as soon as he heard that Leotis was free, he agreed on the spot.
Chu Yun was speechless, it was too miserable for a middle-level knight to be so down.
When he entered the hotel, Xilu said with some worry: "Teacher, who do you think this murderer will be?" ”
"Although the strength of the previous adventure team was not strong, there were also three junior warriors, why did the murderer who was able to defeat the three junior warriors stare at a small village?"
Chu Yun yawned: "I don't know, maybe I'm here to seek revenge." Rest well tonight and leave for Seca City early tomorrow. ”
Chu Yun didn't care about what was happening in the village, and Leotis had already taken over the task, so it was not easy for him to interfere.
It has to be said that Leotis is still very responsible.
After eating and drinking, he rode his war horse around the village, and then explored around the village, but unfortunately the murderer was too cunning and hidden very deep to be found.
Leotis returned to the village chief's house for a short rest, and at eleven o'clock in the evening, he set out again and lurked in the village to wait for the enemy to attack.
According to the previous situation, the murderer usually chooses to attack around 12 o'clock in the morning, and most of the time the target is the girl in the village.
Leotis has asked the village chief to gather all the eligible girls together, and even if the murderer is not caught tonight, he plans to continue the execution and stay in the village for a few days to squat at the murderer.
Of course, in order to prevent the murderer from changing targets, there are also patrols in other places except for the concentration of young girls.
It's just that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and in the middle of the night the sky began to rain, and it was a very heavy rainstorm, and it was all night.
Leotis's plan to camp was unsuccessful, but fortunately, the villagers were not injured tonight.
Early the next morning, Chu Yun, who was originally about to set off, simply stayed after seeing that the torrential rain still showed no signs of stopping.
"Shiro, do you want to help too?" Chu Yun looked at the uncertain Xilu and asked.
Xilu nodded with a sad look on her face: "I used to live in the village, but then the village was attacked by monsters, and my parents were killed in the attack......"
"Well, being idle is idle anyway. Some of the materials collected before can be used, and today I will teach you a powerful potion that may help the village. Chu Yun took out some materials from his backpack and said to Xilu.
Xilu excitedly rushed to Chu Yun and asked, "Really?" Really? What is an elixir? ”
"This thing is called a night vision potion, as long as you drink the potion, even in the dark of night, it will make the enemy have nothing to hide!"
Xilu's eyes were full of stars, if such a powerful potion was really made, he would definitely be able to catch the beast by then!
"First of all, the ingredients you need are: brewing stand, golden radish, hell wart, blaze powder, water bottle, ......"
Xilu listened with a confused expression, she had never heard of these materials before, and there was no brewing stand to use.
"Forget it, let's change to a simpler formula."
Chu Yun selected alternative materials from the materials, and then began to re-derive the formula using master-level pharmaceutical techniques.
After some debugging, 6 of the materials were finally selected as the main materials and 7 materials as the auxiliary catalysts.
This is mainly due to the fact that the deviation of raw materials is too large, otherwise only four or five kinds can be completed.
Looking at the large pile of materials in front of him, Xilu was a little dizzy, and the previous physical strength potion was simply a score question compared to this.
"Can I really make it?" Shiro was a little skeptical of her abilities.
Chu Yun continued: "There are only ten copies of the materials this time, if you want to help the village, you have to do your best. ”
"The potions I make will only be kept for my own use, and I will not donate them for free."
Xilu felt an unprecedented pressure pressing on her, and her eyes widened as she carefully examined Chu Yun's steps.
Chu Yun slowed down and explained step by step, for himself researching new formulas was also a certain pleasure.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken this life skill to the master level in the game.
"The blue silver grass is too little, too early, and too slow."
"As long as the cherry tomatoes are juiced, don't waste the rest of the parts, it's delicious."
"And if your hands are shaking, take a deep breath if you're nervous."
……
Looking at the hard-working Xilu Chuyun in a good mood, his favorite thing is to enjoy life leisurely while watching others work hard.
However, Shiro stopped taking the medicine after a few failures, and she was a little afraid of continuing to fail.
So she began to make physical strength potions, hoping to use this to calm her mood and adjust her state.
Chu Yun looked at the time, it was still early, so he walked out of the room and prepared to go outside.
Stunging around with an umbrella on a rainy day is something special.
