Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Demon King and the Intelligence Deal
Green is excited!
I can't help but be excited!
After all, this was the first time Green had seen a living person on the prairie.
"Yooo~~~" Green put on his backpack, carried a shield, and carried two thunder horned rabbits, calling while walking towards the carriage's peace of mind.
In front of the carriage, the human girl looked in the direction where Green was from a distance, and couldn't help but wipe her eyes: "How can there be beggars here!" β
"Beggars? Where is it? The dwarven girl jumped up from the grass, trying to see into the distance.
Due to their height, dwarven girls have a much shorter field of vision than human girls.
After jumping up, the dwarven girl finally saw Grimm in the distance.
"There really are beggars!" Looking at Grimm, who was dressed in tatters and covered in black ash, the dwarf girl couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Green can absorb electricity, he can't do anything about the electrical energy outside his body, so not only the clothes on his body were torn by lightning, but even the hair on his body is scorched a lot, so he looks like a dirty beggar.
Soon after, Green finally met several adventurers head-on.
Glancing at the clothing and equipment of several adventurers, Green immediately made a judgment in his heart - a group of big dogs!
The war horse pulling the cart is not ordinary at first glance, wearing such heavy armor but only shallow indentations on the grass, and the halfling on the carriage is wearing clean knight armor, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is pretending to be forced. Not only that, but the other three adventurers also wore sturdy leather armor and protective armor that covered vital points - ensuring agility and protection.
While Green was observing the crowd in front of him, several adventurers were also observing Green.
The tattered beggar outfit, covered in charred marks, and with an explosive head on his head, would look like a beggar if it weren't for the adventurer's bracelet on his hand and the weapons and equipment on his bodyβand a beggar returning from a hunt.
Looking at the two "Pikachu" carried by the "beggar", several adventurers had very mixed feelings.
"The Thunderhorn Rabbit has been caught." The human girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Human, you're pretty good." The short (wine) man (barrel) and the young (big) woman (mother) looked at the two yellow creatures in Grimm's hands with a wilted expression, "Aren't you afraid that they will power you?" β
"It's okay. It's good to get used to it. Green grinned, the contrast between her white teeth and her swarthy African face, "I'm Green, a lost adventurer, and it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"We are members of the Yod Labyrinth Legion, and it's nice to meet you." The human maiden smiled and said to Green, "I'm Alice, Mary Alyse, the dwarf whose age is easy to suspect is Dagna, the one lying in the carriage is Marshall, and our instructor, Daniel the Brave. β
"I'm Daniel, you can just call me "The Brave." The halfling knight stood up from the carriage and looked at the black shield on Green's back, "Where did you get that shield?" β
"Huh?" Green was slightly stunned, "What's wrong with my shield?" β
"The shield on your body gives me a sense of foreboding."
Green blinked: "Ominous feeling? β
"Yes. When you get back to the city, you'd better go to the temple and have a look at the priest. The halfling knight suggested.
"Hmm...... We'll talk about that then. Greene paused, "By the way, do you know how to get back?" I'm lost. β
The halfling knight took out a pocket watch from his bosom, looked at the time, and then looked at the direction of the sun: "The passage when we came should have been closed, and now the passage on the first floor should be in the ......"
"Wait a minute! Predecessor. At this moment, the young man lying in the carriage suddenly got up and interrupted the halfling knight.
The halfling knight looked at the boy suspiciously: "What's wrong?" β
Boy: "Senior, we're still in the trial, right?" β
"Yes."
"Then even if it is a negotiation, it should be up to us, right?" The young man's eyes were bright.
Hearing the young man's words, the halfling knight smiled slightly: "Okay, you guys come." I just watched. β
With the permission of the halfling knight, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and said to Green, "Mr. Green, information is also valuable. If we told you how to go back, what would you be willing to pay? β
"Ha......" Green's face was a little subtle, "what kind of price do you want?" β
"As the saying goes, 'Time is money.'" The Endless Grassland is very large, and if you don't know the specific direction, you'll probably have to waste a lot of time if you want to go back. Of course, you can also choose to break the Adventurer's Bracelet, but in that case, not only will you lose the Adventure Bracelet, but you will also not be able to get out of the Labyrinth with the Labyrinth items on your body. The boy paused, "I hope you can hire us to escort you back to the entrance to the first floor of the labyrinth." And the remuneration of the escort is to use a thunder horned rabbit in your hand as a reward, how about it? β
Hearing the young man's words, Green couldn't help frowning: "Robbing while it's hot?" β
"No, no, no! We are not taking advantage of the fire. The boy shook his head, "Just a proposal." You look like you're supposed to be an adventurer too, and you've caught two Thunderhorn Bunnies. I think a Thunderhorn Rabbit should be enough to get you back to complete the mission, so hiring an adventure party to send you back with a Thunderhorn Rabbit as a reward is not only safe and secure, but also saves a lot of time. Even if you carry plenty of dry food and water, you don't want to waste too much time on meaningless pathfinding, right? I guess this should be a very good deal for you. β
"Tsk! ~" Green pouted.
If it is an ordinary lost adventurer, it may be really possible to be persuaded by the teenager, after all, ordinary people are committing suicide by eating maze food, so the total amount of dry food they carry with them also determines the limit time of activity in the maze. But Green is not an "ordinary lost adventurer", but a "demon king with a powerful plug-in", a demon king who lives in the maze more nourishingly than outside the maze.
The boy's rhetoric means nothing to Green!
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Green snorted coldly, "Don't leave it at that." β
Green glanced at the halfling knight standing in the carriage and threw a spot on each of the three rookie adventurers.
The three rookies are all black iron ranks, and the challenge level is 5-7.
As Grimm was throwing around the Identification, the halfling knight seemed to sense something.
"Detection magic?" The halfling knight raised his eyebrows and clenched the flagpole in his hand, "And it's instantaneous...... Are you a 'Warlock'? β
The identification technique was discovered!?
"'Oh Kra (Warlock)'?" Green blinked, "I'm sorry, but I don't know Palomian well enough to understand the meaning of some words. Excuse me, what does the word 'Oh Kla' mean? β
Green can use the language and understand the other person's words, but once he encounters the "exclusive noun", Green is a little confused. He is proficient in language spells, so Green knows that "Oh Kla" is the name of a profession, but what kind of profession this profession is, Green is a little unsure.
"A warlock is a warlock, a profession." The halfling knight thought for a moment, "If there are some powerful beings among the ancestors, then it is possible that the bloodline is born with some extraordinary powers. Some people can tap into the power in their bloodline, which allows them to gain a variety of special abilities or spellcasting abilities. β
Tap into the power of your bloodline, gain special abilities and spellcasting abilities? Sounds like me. It turns out that this [Demon King] profession is not a mage, but a "Oh Carat (Warlock)"!
Hearing the halfling knight's explanation, Grimm's thoughts instantly cleared, and he finally figured out his true identity in this world.
"I see...... 'Oh Kra (Warlock)' is rare?"
"It's okay. Although it is rare among commoners, it is quite common among nobles. The halfling pointed to the young man lying in the carriage, pouting his buttocks, "This kid is a whoo." β
Hearing the halfling's words, Green was stunned for a second, and then looked at the boy who was pouting and lying on the carriage.

Weak chicken one! But his profession ......

I see.
Green finally understood what the Palomian word for "oh kla" meant.
"I'm very sorry. My kid just lost his respects. The halfling knight politely said to Green, "These children have come here for training and assessment, and the assessment requires the completion of a commission or loot collection worth three silver flanges. Because the task has not been completed, this child is in a hurry, so he just said something like that, please don't be surprised. β
"I see. You don't look like you're going to come here to hunt rabbits. β
"At this time, the exit back to the labyrinth should be at the third gate." The halfling took out a map from his bosom and handed it to Green, pointing in a direction, "Follow this direction all the way and you should be there." β
Green took the map and looked at it.
The quality of the map is good, but the text on it is not readable by Grimm!
"I see. Thanks~" Green smiled and returned the map to the halfling, "Then I'll take my leave." β
Halfling Knight: "Do you need me to let these three stinky boys escort you?" β
"No need." Green waved his hand, "Just know the direction." β
After seeing Green leave, the young man lying on the carriage couldn't help but speak: "Senior, why do you want to tell him the direction of going back!" β
The halfling knight turned his head and looked at the young man lying on the car with a serious face: "Don't you know what you did wrong just now?" β
"There's something wrong with me. Isn't it normal to exchange intelligence for money in a labyrinth? The boy looked puzzled.
"You kid you're like a goblin!" The dwarven girl on the side pursed her lips, "If we are there, a stingy guy like you, don't want to find a woman in this life." β
Hearing the words of the dwarf girl, the young man instantly exploded: "The women of the dwarf clan are outside my hunting range!" β
"Be serious!" The halfling reached out and knocked on the young man's head, "There is a saying among the dwarves: those who refuse to suffer are not worthy of deep friendship. This sentence is a good explanation of your behavior just now. β
"But what's the problem with exchanging information for money? Aren't unions also recovering money by selling maps on all floors? β
"Boy, we're not tipsters, we're adventurers, and we're in the labyrinth right now. Do you understand? In the labyrinth, all adventurers are invisible allies. When your allies want you to ask for help, do you think it's appropriate? β
The boy was unconvinced and said, "Should we help him for free?" β
"Even if we help him, we have nothing to lose, so why can't we help him for free?" The expression on the halfling's face was very serious.
"Senior, you don't have to tell him this." The human girl grinned and said, "This kid has always been like this. β
The young man pursed his lips and looked unhappy: "I think I'm not wrong." β
The halfling knight looked at the stubborn imp in front of him and sighed: "Forget it, continue your mission." β
At this moment, the dwarf girl suddenly looked in the direction where Green left with a look of surprise: "Huh! That's not right! Why did he go so fast? Why didn't the Horned Rabbit attack him? β
"Because of the shield on him." The halfling knight sat back in the carriage, "That human just now isn't as simple as it seems. Originally, I wanted to have a good chat with him...... It's a pity. β
β¦β¦
At this time, far away.
Green glanced back in the direction of the carriage and frowned slightly.
"It feels like that halfling is a little dangerous."
Although the halfling had always been very talkative and seemed to be amiable, Green felt a very dangerous aura in the halfling knight. Because of this, Green didn't even dare to use identification on him.
