Chapter 80: Bargaining (ask for collection, ask for recommendation) Thank you Xiangyun Jiafei, JGL9 reward
"Let's go over together, and by the way, hear what's going on, so we can be prepared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Fia didn't want to wait here any longer, so he proposed to go together.
"Okay, come on." Mares also felt that there was nothing wrong with letting everyone listen to it, so she agreed and led everyone to the bar.
"Teemo! Teemo! Walking to the edge of the bar, Maris knocked on the bar and called the staff who didn't know what they were doing inside.
"Hey! Mares, did you find a mission so quickly? Oh, Sim, Fia, how are you doing? "Teemo is a young man of average stature, with brown hair and some freckles on his face, although he looks average, but this young man's smile is very contagious, and people feel kind at first glance. He asked Maris and said hello to Sim and the others, he didn't know Soram, but he smiled and nodded at Soram.
"No, it's still that mission, we're going to try." By the way, he also introduced Solam to this Timo: "This is our new teammate Solam, Soram, this is Teemo, this guy is the priest of Randall, the Lord of the Dawn." "The Lord of Dawn is the former god name of the Lord of Radiance, after Loshanda switched to order, this god name and some priesthoods were given to one of his former attendants, and this attendant was also renamed Randall, which is now the Lord of Dawn, this god is a weak god, he is still too young, and his influence is not great, this god likes to be his priest very much, and believes that the future of the world is in the hands of young people.
"Hello, Teemo."
"Hello, Solam." After greeting Soram with a smile, Timo said to Maris with a serious expression, "Mares, are you serious?" That place is really evil. ”
"We've thought about it, and that's it." Before Mares could speak, Fia hurriedly said. "That's right, uncle, you just agreed."
Seeing that Fia was so impatient, Maris could only shake his head helplessly, and then said to Teemo: "Yes, I have thought about it, it's about this task, you tell us what this mission is all about." ”
"You... Well, this mission was originally going to be canceled, and since you are going to take it, I don't think Baron Vane will refuse. When Timo saw that Maris had made up his mind, he said helplessly.
"This mission is going to be cancelled? Why? ”
"Because of the disappearance of three teams of adventurers, Baron Vane can't wait, and it just so happens that our temple also thinks that this mine is a bit weird and needs to be investigated. That's why Baron Vane is ready to ask our temple to help eradicate those monsters. "Actually, this situation is very common, if the adventurers can't help, and those nobles can't help it, they will also go to the temple to solve the problem, but that cost is huge, after all, the temple is not so easy to invite.
And if you succeed, you will pay some other costs if you don't do it.
If you look for an adventurer, you won't lose anything if you fail, and you don't need to give a pension anyway, after all, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and the road is chosen by yourself, and it is none of anyone else's business.
If it succeeded, the nobles were even happier, anyway, they just gave some money and finished the work. Therefore, aristocrats generally like to find adventurers to help them solve some problems, after all, the cost is low, and there is no trouble.
"Has he already asked your temple to come out?" Maris asked, a little surprised, if he didn't want to steal business with the temple.
"Not yet, the price hasn't been negotiated yet, and our bishop is a little reluctant." Timo said with a shrug.
Don't be surprised, why a temple that believes in good gods would talk about remuneration so nakedly.
After all, the temple also needs money, and it takes money to keep the temple running, to prepare equipment for the knights and priests of the temple, to preach, to give alms, and so on. What's more, the object is still a nobleman, so of course don't be in vain. If it is poor, the Temple of Dawn may not need money, and it is possible to post it upside down.
"Then we will take this mission, and we won't conflict with your Dawn Temple." Mares was reluctant to clash with the temple of a good god, which was contrary to his way of doing things.
"No, we're actually too busy to have the manpower to investigate, and the baron didn't bid much, so we weren't interested in it."
In Locke Town, the scale of the Temple of Dawn was not large, and there were only a dozen priests and twenty Templar knights, and don't think that these clergy just stayed in the temple every day to pray, they were also very busy, and they didn't know how many things they had to do every day, preaching, treating the wounded, helping the poor, eliminating some evils that endangered the civilians, and so on.
The mine is in the wilderness, even if there is danger, it can't threaten ordinary people, and the only one who loses is the baron, and the baron is reluctant to give money, so it is reasonable that the Temple of Dawn has no interest in this.
"Oh, that's good, tell me what the hell is going on in this mine." Hearing that the temple was not interested, Maris was relieved.
"Okay, I'll just talk about it." As he spoke, Teemo talked about the beginning and end of the mission.
Things have to start from a few months ago, it was originally a mine that was about to be abandoned, and there were few people there, only some guards, and suddenly one day, the guards of the mine began to disappear, and they began to think that the kobold ran into the mine, Baron Vane didn't plan to care, anyway, it was an abandoned mine.
Somehow, the baron discovered that there was a new vein on the edge of the mine. In order to prevent the monsters in the mine from affecting the development of new ore veins. The baron sent his guards down to the mine to clear out the kobolds, but many of them went missing.
Baron Vane realized that the problem was big, so he went to find the adventurer, but he went to three batches, but he still disappeared.
"What the hell is that monster in the cave?" Fia was curious about the monster they were going to face next.
"I don't know, according to the guards who escaped, it's true that there are kobolds, but there should be other monsters, but they don't see it clearly." Timo spread his hands helplessly, "That's why I said this place is evil." ”
"This is not clear about the enemy, it is a little difficult to do, what price does that baron offer?" Mares snorted, a little embarrassed, and then asked Teemo how much the baron was going to pay.
"It used to be 300 gold, but now it should have risen, you have to go to the baron's representative to discuss this, and the guy who slammed the door is estimated to not be able to pay a high price."
"Is the rep still there?"
"Yes, that's the guy who negotiated the price with our temple."
"Then I'd like to see him."
"No problem, you go to the second floor and wait, I'll take him over."
"Hmm." With that, Maris led the people upstairs.
The furnishings on the second floor are very similar to the café in the previous life, it is a small cubicle, and there are not many people sitting here, most of them are discussing something in a whisper.
Soram and the others casually found a cubicle and sat down, and after a while, Teemo came over with an old man who looked like a butler, and the old man didn't say hello as soon as he sat down, and went straight to the point.
"I talked to Timo on the way, and he said that your strength is okay, so I'll make a long story short, if you can deal with the monsters in the mines, our baron is willing to pay 300 gold coins, I think this is a very appropriate price."
As soon as Maris heard this, he immediately retorted: "300 gold coins is your price last time, but the person who agreed to this price last time can't come back." We're here to talk about it. ”
"Are you still not satisfied with 300 gold? God, you know how many people don't make that much in their lifetime. When God heard this, he whispered.
"They can't earn it, it's because they don't have the ability, we have to fight with our lives, I won't do it without 600." Solam couldn't interject, but they didn't expect Maris, who has always been honest, to be so good at bargaining.
“600? It's impossible, you're a lion with a big mouth, I think it's better to ask someone else to help me. ”
"Then you can go, I'm not in a hurry, it's not my mine anyway."
"Anyway, you're too expensive, there are only 4 of you, I think it's better to find some adventure squads with more people to be insured."
"Humph! Don't look at the fact that there are only 4 of us, but all of them are good players, and I won't say how about you find those adventure teams with a lot of people, just the price is different, you look for those with a lot of people, but it's not 600 gold that can be sent. ”
"Then you should be cheaper, 600 gold, a little too expensive."
"Expensive? If you look at my teammates, just look at my two brothers, they are absolutely strong, the last time we were in the forest, we killed a dozen ogres at once. And my niece, and her animal companion, who alone can easily bite an ogre. ”
Not to mention, as soon as I look at Sim and Solam's appearance, that old man, I believe in their strength a little, after all, they can't pretend to be tough, the old man has served in the Wayne family for decades, and he can be regarded as having seen a lot of the world, as soon as he looks at Sim's appearance, he knows that this guy is a barbarian, and everyone on the mainland knows that the combat effectiveness of barbarians is notoriously strong.
Not to mention Soram, who was stronger than Sim, taller and stronger than the best knight he had ever seen, even when seated.
I don't see much of the old man Mares, but since he can be the head of this group, his strength should not be underestimated, as for the little girl, although the old man can't see the strength, but the animal companion next to her is already powerful enough to look at, the old man swears, he is the first time he has seen a wolf bigger than a brown bear.
But even so, he didn't intend to give in, after all, if he could spend less, he would spend money, wouldn't he.
"600 is too expensive, can you get cheaper?"
"600 doesn't change, your family is also a nobleman, as for being so careful?" Maris began to stir up the flames, and the average nobleman rarely tolerated such a small contempt from others.
But it was obvious that Mares had encountered an old fox, and the old man had not taken it at all.
"I'm just a small person who helps my lord do things, and my duty is to help my lord solve the problem in the best possible way, so 600 gold is beyond my authority." This old man bit to death, but he didn't agree with 600 gold.
