Act 13 Purge

Su Chen finally took over the task from Heathera. As he had thought before, though he didn't know why, the mad mage had set his sights on him. Passive defense may be able to save his own life, but any mad mage is not such an easy guy to deal with, so Su Chen may also die from the sneak attack of the mad mage.

What's more, this task is still a high-level task, and seeing the [adventure] level label written on the mission label, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved. You must know that he can complete epic level tasks, let alone such an adventure level? Not to mention that Su Chen had already taken up the position of Ao Ling Master at this time, he was now full of confidence.

"Then please go to the town hall and have a look." "Maybe you can help my husband, Lord Duke." ”

Su Chen suddenly thought that the city lord, that is, the grand duke who ruled this place, was Heathera's husband, but he didn't know why she still used the title of 'duke' when she called her husband. But he didn't have a reason to ask about other people's family matters, so after a final conversation about the details of the mission, Su Chen left the Mage Tower, where he had lived for nearly three weeks. When Su Chen saw the sunshine of the outside world again, he actually felt a little reincarnated.

But soon he threw useless emotions out of his mind, and after identifying the direction, Su Chen walked towards the city hall. At this time, the city hall seemed to be much larger than the last time Su Chen came, and he could see all kinds of professionals here. He was a little curious in his heart, but when Su Chen's eyes fell on the notice board in front of the city hall, he roughly understood the reason - the trolls in the wild area had multiplied enough to hinder the caravan, so the city lord also increased the task of clearing the trolls, and the bounty given was quite exciting: as long as he confirmed that he could kill a troll, he would provide a gold coin to the warrior.

This is simply not to treat gold coins as money, Su Chen sighed. Only a thousand trolls were enough to bankrupt the city lord, but on second thought, although the number of trolls had multiplied to the point where they had to be cleaned up, there would definitely not be more than three hundred, so that the city lord would only need to pay three hundred gold coins to clean up these trolls, and the guards under his command would not have to pay a heavy price.

At this time, Su Chen found that there were already many people recruiting spellcasters, and the reward given was not a lot at all, at least Su Chen, who had already bottomed out at this time, was moved after seeing it. But it's a pity that he has other tasks to do, and he doesn't have free time to accompany these adventurers to farm trolls. So he went directly to the interior of the city hall, and planned to meet the lord of the city directly.

With the help of the tokens provided by Heathera and Su Chen's super high prestige, Su Chen didn't waste much effort to get the opportunity to meet the Duke. When he walked through a somewhat long passage, he came to a rather large room. At this time, Su Chen's feet were stepping on the orange-red carpet, and the decorations around him were also extremely luxurious. In front of Su Chen, there was a long table, and a middle-aged man who looked a little old sat in the center of the long table wearing a black robe.

He was looking down at a document report at this time, and when Su Chen stepped into this room, he raised his head, revealing his thick beard: "Presumably you are the spellcaster introduced by Heathera, very good, so that we are a little more sure." ”

Su Chen bent his waist - he could be said to have done a very good job in following the customs of the country, he followed the interests of the commoners of the Flanian Empire when they met with the nobles, he lowered his head slightly, bent his body forty-five degrees, and then put his right hand on his left shoulder, and said humbly: "It is my Rong Xin to see you, Lord Duke." ”

There is no way, Su Chen's charm value is too low, if he doesn't show it in action, this duke will definitely use Su Chen as cannon fodder without saying a word. Even if Su Chen survived by luck, the task reward would not be high. So instead of expecting his ability to happen to be favored by the duke, it is better to brush the duke's favorability first, at least let him see himself a little more pleasing to the eye.

It seemed that Su Chen's actions had won the duke's favor, and the city lord's face had a gentle smile: "You are a spellcaster, not a useless civilian, you don't need to perform this kind of salute when you see me." With that, the Duke stood up from his seat. It was only at this time that Su Chen discovered that the duke's figure was actually quite tall, a head taller than Su Chen. But at the same time, the duke's figure is also very thin, and if it weren't for the foil of that luxurious clothes, this duke would look more like a bamboo pole.

Of course, the duke didn't know that Su Chen was slandering himself, he just looked at Su Chen, especially the Sao Bao Archmage robe that Su Chen was wearing, and was silent for a while before he said, "Although I have Heathera's recommendation, I still want to test your spell-casting ability, I hope you can understand." ”

Oh? Is the plot going to advance so soon? Su Chen looked at the duke, and the latter said, "It just so happens that the number of trolls in the wild is too many now, if you can eliminate the three trolls alone, I will recognize your strength and let you join the ranks of the mad mages." ”

Isn't this the famous task routine of striking iron and killing chickens first! How can a game be played like this when it becomes the real world? However, Su Chen also reacted - his charm value was still too low, otherwise the duke would have praised Su Chen as a guest without saying a word, instead of giving this messy task of hunting trolls.

What Su Chen didn't know was that one of the reasons why the Duke proposed this task was because his clothes were too sassy. The Duke was a little skeptical that Su Chen was just a good-looking fancy shelf. Su Chen was silent for a while and then said, "Then killing a troll can get a reward of 1 gold coin, can I also get it?" ”

"It's nature." The Duke smiled, "I'm looking forward to your performance. ”

Fortunately, this duke didn't need to give him a day job himself - Su Chen thought in his heart, since there would be a reward for killing trolls, then of course he had to brush it up. It's just that this time he dealt with trolls was different from the last time, he no longer had to deal with one troll, but a full three. It's not difficult to spread out and deal with nature, but if you put it together...... Su Chen may need a teammate.
