Chapter 20 The reward is 5 gold coins

Completing a one-hit kill on the caster relieved Rhodes, just as he thought, the enemy was a natural spellcaster similar to a warlock, but although he had not yet fully awakened the bloodline, he had a spell-casting ability similar to that of a warlock.

Warlocks are different from mages in that their magical abilities are derived from blood, so to warlocks, spells are more of an instinct than knowledge or learning, similar to the instinct of breathing.

Sorcerers, unlike mages, are not born with magical powers, so casting spells requires gestures, spells, and materials to be able to use a certain spell, all of which are indispensable.

Warlocks are often able to cast spells without gestures and spells due to the magic that comes from the bloodline in their bodies, and powerful warlocks don't even need materials, which is an advantage that warlocks themselves have.

However, compared to the diversity of mage's spells, warlocks whose magical abilities come from bloodline are far less comprehensive than mages, and even in ancient times, warlocks were persecuted on a large scale because they were born to cast spells.

Of course, in modern times, this has changed a lot, with Warlocks often becoming full-time combat spellcasters, and Mages becoming scientists.

Just like the scientist who invented the missile and the general who used it, the two no longer have much to do with each other, and there is not much comparison, so the relationship between the two is now quite harmonious.

Rhodes originally planned to take the warlock route, after all, he had a demon's left arm and a demonic heart, and it would be a pity not to go the warlock route, no matter what, demons and warlocks are the same as natural spellcasters, and the two can complement each other.

Judging from Rhode's own knowledge, the spellcaster who was killed by himself, the second master of the bandits, should be a spellcaster specializing in frost ray spells, which is probably the result of being forced to do so due to the limitations of resources and bloodline.

But fortunately, otherwise, the other party might have escaped today.

Rod's black-red claws directly grabbed the caster, turning the caster into energy, directly increasing the energy by 230 points, plus the 30 energy points obtained from absorbing the frost ray just now, and once again had 260 points of energy.

Unexpectedly, and reasonablely, although the caster's physique is indeed weak, the magic power can completely make up for the gap in the physique, and even because the magic power is more in line with the demon's taste, the transformation efficiency is more than the body tissue.

Glancing at the other three thieves, he directly handed over these three ordinary people to Tom, after swallowing the three thieves, Tom showed no signs of getting stronger, and Rod shook his head helplessly, this is the disadvantage of low-level demons.

After a moment of mental arithmetic, Tom will probably be able to swallow dozens of thieves today, although they are all ordinary people's body values, but the actual increase in attributes is only 2 points, which is far less efficient than his own absorption.

Glancing at the trophies of several people, there were only a few copper coins on the three bandits, Rhodes checked the spellcaster again, a book made Rhodes's arm stiffen, picked up the book and looked at it, the book cover said 'Basic Spell Textbook (First Edition)', and under the cover also wrote 'General Textbook of the Special Academy, issued by the Ministry of Magic Education of the Sutter Kingdom'.

"It's actually this textbook."

Although the 'Basic Spell Textbook' is a general textbook and there are not many restrictions on the owner, there are quite strict restrictions on purchasing. First of all, it must be an official student of any higher education college in the Kingdom of Sutter, and secondly, its price is also very expensive.

Rhodes is also eligible to buy it now, but because this textbook is very expensive, he is not willing to spend gold coins to buy it, after all, Wang Lit and other colleges will give him a complete set of textbooks for free.

And this is one of the reasons why Rod figured out the magic standard, and the same is true for sword pressure, but after having this book, Rod felt that he might be able to mark the magic standard in advance, after all, it is a spell textbook, and there should be content to introduce magic power.

Nothing else, for the natural caster, never expect to be able to see the other person's spell book, because the born spellcaster does not need a spell book.

After scraping and having nothing else of value, Rhodes picked up the caster's head, trotted back to the cottage, came to a hidden corner, picked up the package, put the caster's head in it, and picked up the large box hidden in another place, and then went down the mountain from the main gate of the cottage in the open.

By the time Rhodes descended the mountain, the tavern owner had already come out of the tavern to greet him, and the adventurers and mercenaries were curious to follow.

When everyone saw the package that Rod was carrying, their faces couldn't help but change, and they looked at Rhodes with a shocked face, they who had been wandering in the gray area all the year round, clearly understood what was in the package, plus the direction Rod was coming from, the shrewd adventurers and mercenaries had quietly left, intending to sell the news.

Ignoring the small gestures of these people, Rod went back to the back room with the tavernkeeper and opened the package so that the tavernkeeper could see the appearance of the head.

"My lord really deserves to be an admission student of Wang Lite and other colleges, and it is really a great merit to kill the two leaders of the bandits so quickly."

The tavern owner was about to reach out and grab the two heads as he spoke, but Rod made a slight block with his right hand, directly put away the package, squeaked, opened the large box full of weapons, and put the heads in.

Although these two bandits are not worth much, after arriving in Shanhai City, they want to be able to exchange for a certain amount of money, especially at the moment when the whole province is clearing the bandits, the price should be higher than usual.

Rod said coldly: "Okay, according to what we said in advance, now that I have killed the bandit leader, you can give me the reward." ”

The tavernkeeper's eyes widened as he looked at the box full of weapons, his throat squirmed slightly, and his whole person felt a sense of regret.

couldn't help but smile awkwardly, when he commissioned it before, he didn't tell the news that the second master of the bandit was a spellcaster, nor did he say that the big boss was a recruited warrior, the purpose was to leave a way back for himself in case he was killed by the angry bandits.

The gold coins as a reward are not a year's income, he saw that Rod was young, and thought that Rod was easy to deceive, so he deliberately said less, and when he saw Rod wearing enchanted full body armor, he even regretted saying too much.

As a result, he didn't expect that this Rhodes would kill dozens of mountain bandits cleanly.

But worthy of being a businessman, the tavernkeeper's regret and embarrassment were fleeting, and he took out 5 gold coins with a smile on his face, and handed them to Rhodes with a careful smile on his face.

"In fact, it is Xiao Lao'er's brain is not good, the old account of the year before and the new account of last year are poor, last year's annual income is actually 4 gold, 96 silver and 56 bronze, and Xiao Lao'er makes up 5 gold coins as a reward for adults."

The frost on Rod's face melted instantly, showed a satisfied smile, and appropriately took the gold coin: "Where is the boss, it is my duty to eliminate harm for the people, but killing the enemy and bandits will inevitably damage the weapons and armor, and the expenses are really huge...... Well, since it's so late, I won't bother the boss and take my leave. ”

Rod stood up with a smile on his face, picked up the big box and walked out of the room, the tavern owner followed Rod out of the back room without saying a word, and saw the remaining adventurers and mercenaries in the tavern, Rod put the box on the ground, took out the package from it, and displayed the weapons in the box.

"You are all understandable people, I was entrusted by the tavern owner tonight to exterminate the cottage, and I got some weapons that I didn't use, so I planned to make some extra money, so no matter which one of these weapons is, it will be 25 silver coins, and you can choose at will."

Everyone looked at each other and swarmed to block Rod.

For adventurers and mercenaries, buying weapons and maintaining weapons is a big expense, and because of the ban of the Sartre Kingdom, often slightly better weapons will become very expensive, and Rhodes 25 silver coins can be regarded as the price of clearance, although the quality of weapons is very ordinary, but who makes the price cheap.

The tavern owner looked at Rod who was collecting the money with twitching at the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth and hesitated for a few seconds, out of sight and out of mind, and turned his head directly not to look at Rode.

The weapon was swept away smoothly, and Rod got a total of 8 gold and 75 silver, and Rod carefully weighed his wallet, and now has 28 gold, 85 silver and 20 bronze, which is very good, enough to pay his sister's tuition.

Rod picked up the box with satisfaction, walked to the hotel above the tavern, and hummed the songs of his previous life in his mouth, after a rough conversion, Rod found that he had hundreds of thousands of huge sums in his arms, and he couldn't even be happy.

The excitement sharpened the senses, and he glanced somewhere behind him, snorted, and woke Tom up, only to burp in when he got back to his room and lay down on the bed.

Rhodes shook his head, this is another big disadvantage of the lower demons, they also have a hunger limit, they can't eat too much at one time, and the food in Tom's stomach has obviously reached the esophagus, and Tom is lying on the bed like a corpse.

"Master, I really can't eat anymore, and I threw another person into the woods......

As he spoke, Tom suddenly covered his mouth with his front paws.

"Well, I've decided, if you dare to spit it out while I'm sleeping, I'll stew you tomorrow."
