Chapter 85: Generous Rewards
There is no hereditary aristocracy in the wealthy part of Twilight, after all, the city's system is similar to that of a politically independent neutral city-state, so the residents who are eligible to live in the city are usually a small number of councilors in the city's upper echelons, commercial patrons who have played an important role in the city's development, or some large groups of adventurers who are not low in the city, such as the Thorn Adventure Party in the past, the Red Scorpion Adventure Group in the past, and the Thorn Squad led by Urs today......
Well, well, the Thorn Squad might be the new exception, after all, a team of six is nowhere near the size of an adventure party.
But then again, after getting the real estate deed from Irina at the front desk of the quest hall on the first floor of the Adventurers' Guild and finding the designated house number in the wealthy area of the city along the way, the other four members of the Thorn Squad were surprised and surprised by the new stronghold that belonged to everyone, except for the old thief Glorydon, who had experienced it as a member of the Thorn Adventure Party before, and Urs, who had seen the wind and waves in his previous game career.
The mansion that the Adventurers' Guild gave to everyone as a quest reward is really a real big house, and regardless of the specific area of land, the information that Urs can find out in his mind through the game system alone is as follows-
Stronghold: Mansion Villa
Address: Building 4, 16th Street, Rich District, Twilight City
Rating: ☆
Scale: Large
Facilities: Living room x1, bedroom x6, guest room x6, kitchen x1, library x1, utility room x1, cellar x1, garden x1...... (omitted/expanded details)
Introduction: You can't do whatever you want with money, but at least it makes you live better than others
For this extra reward of the Adventurers' Guild, Urs was worried about how the abandoned empty house in the slum could fit six people, including himself, without sacrificing a basic quality of life, and the big mansion in the rich district solved this problem for him in time.
Although the sour gossip of the jealous people inevitably existed in the circle of adventurers in the city, the young man did not care about the malicious slander of those guys, and after confirming that the deed in his hand corresponded to the mansion that everyone had found along the house number, he arranged for everyone to move from the abandoned and empty houses in the slum to the new residence in this rich area as soon as possible.
The Adventurer's Emblem is clearly engraved with a sword and a gold coin on a scroll, representing the meaning of "diligent people earn rewards for completing tasks based on their strength".
Urs had a clear conscience about the reward he deserved for completing his mission, and whether or not the reward for the mission was fair was a matter for the Guild to consider, not for him.
In addition, the settlement rewards for the Spotted Axe Forest Emergency Quest are indeed very generous.
Ignoring the bag of gold obtained by the Thorn Squad for the time being, Urs's Adventurer Emblem was changed from a two-star to a three-star style after this mission, and the team also received a magic missile ring, a shield cloak, and six bottles of secondary life potions refined through alchemy.

【Shield Cloak】

【Secondary Life Elixir】
Item Type: Flask (Magic Item)

Requirements: 5 physique
- Drink, unlucky, this is the fate of the wounded
These items are by no means powerful artifacts, but they are undoubtedly things that can come in handy in future adventures, such as the magic missile, a 1-ring spell with plastic energy, which is actually not very effective, but the highlight is that the magic damage it causes has no specific attributes, and can effectively restrain some special monsters with elemental resistance.
The shield spell is just a 1-ring spell of the protection system, which can create a tower shield-sized invisible barrier suspended in front of you for a limited duration of the spell to resist the magic missiles flying towards you, but at the same time, it can also isolate the ghost monster's virtual body contact attack as a form of stance effect from your body, so that you can have an absolute combat advantage in the face of the virtual monster as if you were a bipedal wyvern riding on the enemy's face.
A certain official designer of Castaño, who is suspected of drinking too much, once went to the forum to make a big honest remark that sounded quite offended, saying that there are no junk equipment and props in the game, only players who are rigid in their thinking and do not know how to make the most of it.
All in all, the new stronghold began a new day in the city's wealthy district, and a few days after returning from the Spotted Axe Forest, Urs, as the leader of the team, announced that the team had entered a period of relaxation and recuperation after completing a mission.
The rest of the team is not a tired construct creature, and proper rest will help to adjust the team to the best state and fully prepare for the next adventure.
So the leisure time came suddenly.
In the process of resting, Koto enthusiastically took his large saucepan named Xiao Meng and Xia to the kitchen to exchange cooking skills about cooking a few times, and the rest of the time often ran to the street taverns outside the rich area to raise a glass of wine, on the one hand, nostalgic for the highland ale of his hometown, and on the other hand, sincerely thought that the fees of several luxury taverns in the rich area were really expensive.
Contrary to the dwarf's notion that the dwarves were a little slammery, the jay had seen several of the nearby luxury taverns as a new stage since she moved to the wealthy quarters, and every day she wore her hooded black robe and brought her lute instrument out of the house, and it didn't take long for the nickname "dumb black-robed piano player" to spread in the entertainment clubs of the wealthy district.
Stonefist has no special hobbies, and after his free time, he chooses to go to the temple area to find the priest of Oude in the city to discuss the belief philosophy of the god of order, in an attempt to perfect his spiritual journey of chasing the faith of order.
Groleiden seems to have regained his strength from eight years of wasted time and has become a workaholic in the truest sense of the word. The old thief insisted on continuing to play the role of a diplomat of the Thorn Squad during this period as he had done last time, and disposed of some of the trophies obtained by the team in the Spotted Axe Forest to the auction house and bazaar in the commercial district according to Urs's wishes, and at the same time set aside some time to maintain the friendship with the shaved blade adventurers, and used his past connections in the city to make contact with some of the people in the rich area who needed to be contacted in advance.
Compared to the thrilling adventure, such a relatively relaxed and leisurely time unconsciously came to the fifteenth day of the budding month.
Bright sunlight shines through the windowsill of the new study and falls on the pages that are turned on the wooden tabletop.
As is customary, Urs takes advantage of his free time to organize the various events of this life into his adventure journal. The members of the team all went out early today, leaving Thea to clean the house in a happy mood, and after a while, they knocked on the door with a broom in their hands and came to the room where the young man was.
"You're becoming more and more like a maid, Thea." Urs put down the quill in his hand, closed the journal book that he had just finished, and looked up to see the appearance of the wolf-eared girl, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
"You're becoming more and more like a scholar, our honorable Lord Urs." Thea lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, and with a subtle smile on her face and a figure of speech she learned from the mouth of some poet, she replied, "It feels good to be literate, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, it feels good to be literate, thanks to the fact that you have carefully taught me the knowledge of lingua franca in the past." Urs looked at the beautiful pair of amber eyes in her eyes gently, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind, "It's a pity that I don't really want to be a scholar today." ”
"That's... What do you want to do today? The girl blinked and asked playfully.
"I want to ...... Invite a lovely lady with white ears to walk with me through the streets of the city. The young man followed her and replied with interest with a hint of anticipation in his heart, "In other words—Miss Thea, shall we go shopping?" Just the two of us. ”
