Chapter 104: Part of the Showdown (Part I)

Compared to Ted's indifference, or the indifference of the Oak White Mage Leader to anything other than magical research experiments, Draco has an affinity that most research mages don't have, perhaps because the elven swordsman's career structure is a part-time battle method, rather than a pure mage.

His style of action has the thinking and logic characteristics of half of the mage, and also has the more approachable personality of the other half of the adventurer in the past.

As the night before, Urs and the rest of the team welcomed him to his visit, and then proceeded to the small council room on the second floor of the villa to discuss business.

Draco took the vial of the soul powder from Urs's hand on behalf of the Guild, and also brought the Thorns team a reward for the Bone Cavern mission.

The reward for completing this four-star quest in the Cave of Bones is 150 points, 300 gold coins, x3 enchantment scrolls, x3 intermediate alchemy potions of any kind, and x1 optional magic item with enchantment level +2.

So, according to the reward written at the beginning of the quest scroll, the adventurers sat down on the side of the long table in the small council room, and saw the visiting elven swordsman opposite them, and took out a number of things from the dimensional storage bag they carried with them and put them on the table like a trick.

There was a bulging money bag, tied to the mouth of the bag with a small rope, which probably contained the 300 gold coins reward for this mission, maybe one or two platinum coins in the gold coins, but it didn't matter as long as there was enough money.

In addition to the money, although the total 150 points reward record on the guild's side is not visible for the time being, the 3 mortal enchantment scrolls that have a chance to enchant +1 whiteboard items are now clearly placed on the table with the money bag in the eyes of everyone.

As for 3 bottles of any optional mid-level alchemy potion and 1 enchantment level +2 magic item, Draco explained it to the crowd as follows: "The last two rewards mentioned in the quest are available for you to choose from, but I'm sure you won't turn them down. ”

With that, he took out another dimensional pouch from his body, and took a moment to take out an earthy gray metal ring, followed by a ...... Two, three, four, five......

Count to twelve.

A total of 12 vials are thumb-width cross-sectionally, with a wooden stopper at the mouth, and all of them contain small glass bottles of blue liquid.

Sitting on one side of the table, Urs looked hesitantly at Draco across from him, as if trying to discern something from the elven swordsman's face, and then reached out to pick up the earth-gray metal ring and one of the twelve flasks with a slight frown.

With the convenience provided by the game system, he subconsciously wanted to take a look at the item information of these two things, and then saw the following two data frames in the projection screen in his mind-

【Lurker's Ring】

Item Type: Charged Ring +2 (Magic Item)

+2 visual accuracy

Dark vision

Once a day, cast Invisibility with the character's total level as the casting level

Requirements: 8 intelligence

- In addition to reducing your presence, it may also cure your myopia

【Intermediate Resist Energy Elixir】

Consumes the item after drinking, granting immunity for 20 minutes

Requirements: 5 physique

- This magical potion is like a reliable bodyguard to keep the energy in your body, the undead hunters are accustomed to calling it the ghost buster, and the merry poets believe that this thing will help them not to be seduced by the succubus's fragrant kiss.

Everyone in the team looked at the items that the elven swordsman had placed on the table, but everyone was waiting for Urs's response to Draco.

Koto, who didn't quite understand the atmosphere, wanted to express his confusion about this, and wanted to ask why the Adventurers' Guild had the audacity to change the optional +2 magic item mentioned in that quest into a ring for everyone.

The dwarven warrior said in his heart that if he had to choose, how could a gadget like a ring compare to an enchanted weapon or armor?

However, as soon as he opened the corners of his mouth that was half full of whiskers, and before the words could come out of his throat, Stone Fist, who was sitting next to him, stopped his recklessness in time again, turned his head and stretched out his thick palm to press his shoulder and quietly reminded: "Quiet, Koto." ”

"Why, why?" The dwarf looked puzzled, and his naturally loud voice was a little too loud to suppress the volume.

"The captain has something to talk to the other party." Stonefist explained to him, "So let's not interject yet. ”

As the words fell, he withdrew his hand on the dwarf's shoulder, and his gaze returned to the young man and the elf.

At the same time, Urs's response to Draco was exactly as Stonefist had said. The black-haired young man was not in a hurry to express his gratitude to the Adventurers Guild for such a generous and unexpected reward, but pondered for a moment with some skepticism, and then raised his eyes to look directly at the elven swordsman's emerald green eyes and asked, "Mr. Draco, what does this mean?" ”

There was no joy on his face that should have appeared, and the information revealed in his brown eyes was a defensive question, and he didn't seem to think that the mission he led his team to complete was worthy of the adventurer's guild to reward his team with a full 12 bottles of "Intermediate Resistance Elixir" and this "Lurker's Ring" as a task reward.

After all, although the difficulty of the Cave of Bones mission is rated as four stars by the Adventurers' Association, the four-star mission in Twilight City is actually only about 18 levels of challenge for players in the game.

Urs had also been an adventurer in Twilight City for a period of time when he was a player in his previous life, and he knew in his heart that the highest mission rating in this adventurer city was five stars, and no matter how difficult the challenge was, it would not be publicly released to the adventurers in the city by the adventurer association after the dragon vein mage city lord Victedo instructed the adventurer association to set up a bounty task and post it on the notice board in the lobby on the first floor of the association.

In short, the Ring of the Lurker and a full 12 vials of Intermediate Resistance Elixir are rewarded for the quest...... Very generous.

But the richness is too much, giving people a strange feeling of being inexplicably dedicated.

Considering all the other factors - Urs actually wanted to figure out if he had accidentally triggered some hellish hidden plot in this adventurer city that he should have known.

So he decided to take advantage of tonight to see if he could get some of the doubts he had been in out of Draco's mouth, and then put the ring and potion back on the table, staring at the elf across the table with his eyes, knowing that the other party was a little better than a certain spirit sucking mage who seemed to resist verbal communication.

Draco's visit was in fact the same as Ted's last visit, with Victor's further instructions. He didn't seem to want to make the atmosphere too stiff, and then put a friendly smile on his face, and his emerald eyes swept over the audience with a gentle gaze and replied, "If you don't mind...... I can get straight to the point and talk about the next thing that is important to you and to us. ”
