Chapter Thirty-Eight: Precious Maps
At this moment, in a corner of Bekaa City, something very lively is happening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is a large grocery store, and its owner can occupy such a large area around the Tower of the World, which is very valuable.
There are a lot of things sold in it, weapons and armor, all kinds of materials and supplies, and there is an endless stream of mercenaries who come here every day, and the boss is getting fatter and fatter, with a big belly all day long, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is fat and oily.
According to the grapevine, this fat man also has a secret relationship with a certain nobleman.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to occupy such a large store with wealth alone. In other words, this fat boss is a big man in the eyes of ordinary mercenaries.
But today, the big man Peake had a sad face, looking like his father and mother were dead and about to be buried.
He curled up in the counter, his face restless, looking at the crowd from time to time, and then stamped his feet anxiously, his expression frightened.
"Bastard, why hasn't Little Ral come back yet?"
The fat boss wiped the sweat on his head, and thought heavily: If the people from the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group come at this time, how can he make a mistake?
That's a group of guys licking blood on the knife edge, so they don't care if the fat boss has a background or not, and the most optimistic situation is to smash the store he has been running for more than ten years.
This scene was seen by many mercenaries, and they didn't understand the reason, so they wondered: What's wrong with the fat boss?
When I looked up, I could see a large notice hanging on the top of the store, which was written in large red letters: "For some reason, our store is in a hurry to receive the map of the 20th floor of the Tower of the World, the price... 1,000 gold coins! ’
Many people had a shock in their brains, and they just felt breathless, a thousand gold coins? Is the fat boss crazy?
A mercenary group of twenty people, until they all die in battle, may not be able to earn a thousand gold! Fat boss, big money!
What's more, although the 20-story map is precious, it can't reach such a terrifying price as a thousand gold. The curious mercenaries couldn't help but talk to each other, and soon someone found out the reason.
It turned out that just yesterday, the people of the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group issued a death order, demanding that the fat boss must come up with a 20-layer map, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although the fat boss is a figure in Bekaa City, it is much worse than the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group where the strong gather, no wonder he is so afraid.
Things like the high-rise map of the Tower of the World are very rare, even if someone obtains them, they hide them in their hands, waiting for them to be sold at a high price at the auction, and they usually want to buy one, that is, there is no market, so the fat boss is in an embarrassment.
That notice has been posted since yesterday, and a thousand gold coins are eye-catching, but the fat boss hasn't received half of the news about the map!
In desperation, he had to send his son Xiao Lal to another city to buy it, but it was noon, and Xiao Lal had not returned.
If the fat boss can't get the map, God knows what the demons of the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group will do to him.
Wu Zi didn't give up, the fat boss pointed to the notice, and shouted at the group of mercenaries who were watching: "Have you seen it all?" I need a map with 20 floors! If someone can take it out now, the transaction price will be 1500 gold! ”
1500!
This terrifying number was breathless, and many mercenaries had red eyes.
If you have 1500 gold coins, you can even buy the official position of baron for life and become a nobleman! Or it can drive three Tier 6 warriors to serve for an entire year!
For a moment there was silence in the field, except for the sound of wheezing and panting. The fat boss is dripping blood in his heart on one side, but on the other hand, he is looking forward to it, as long as he can survive this catastrophe, the gold coins or something can be earned back sooner or later, is there anyone? Can anyone come up with a map with 20 floors?
"Daddy, I'm back."
Little Lal was a handsome young man, and he smiled and hugged a custom girl, and greeted the fat boss from afar.
Perhaps, he has not yet realized the importance of the situation.
I saw that the fat boss's face was pale, he suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Have you bought the map for the 20th floor?" ”
Xiao Lal shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Yes, yes, but the other party's bid was too ruthless, and he asked for 2,000 gold coins, so I directly asked him to get out." ”
The fat boss froze in place, like petrified.
This little brute... Let someone else fuck off?
Did he figure out what a fierce character the Blood Tiger was? Don't talk about 2000, 3000 will have to laugh and eat!
"What's wrong, Daddy?"
Xiao Lal looked stunned, and finally noticed that something was wrong, so he asked cautiously.
"What's wrong? Do you still have the face to ask?! ”
The fat boss angrily raised his slap and slapped him hard in the face, turning him around three times, his lips swollen like sausages.
The woman's face turned pale with fright, and she glanced at the angry fat boss, and she didn't care about collecting the money, so she hurriedly ran away.
Is this 20-story map so difficult to collect? Two thousand is two thousand! Even if it's four times more than usual, I'll admit it!
Xiao Lal covered his cheeks aggrievedly, and the fat boss became more and more angry the more he looked at it, and a big foot pasted up, scolding: "Something that has no interest!" ”
……
……
Arriving at the Tower of the World, Richard glanced at the bustling crowd with satisfaction and nodded secretly.
If you want to say that the place with the highest frequency of the strong haunts, it is the place where it is.
Whether you're a first-tier warrior or a paladin, the Tower of the World is always full of deadly allure.
Upon arriving, Leah said suspiciously, "You want to challenge higher?" ”
Their numbers are too small, and the most optimistic estimate is to stop at the fifth layer.
The whirling, death-like ice pick was still vivid, and she instinctively shivered, her eyes full of fear.
Noticing this, Richard patted her on the shoulder and said firmly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, my brother is here." Moreover, I am not here to enter the Tower of the World. ”
With a sly smile, Richard shuttled through the crowd, his eyes scanning passers-by one by one, intending to find the strong.
In his pocket, the Fruit of Sincerity lay silently, and he had to find a suitable person to take it.
More than half of those who came and went were mercenaries. They had hideous scars on their bodies, all of them were five big and three thick, with axes and knives on their backs, and they walked violently.
Others, like Richard, wore magician's robes, but after watching it for a long time, he felt a dilemma.
――How do you know the level of the other person?
There is not much difference between a seventh-level warrior and a first-level warrior just by looking at their appearance, who would be idle and have nothing to do to let out their fighting spirit, and swagger through the market like a light bulb?
If Richard is an eighth-level or ninth-level magician, he can naturally see the clues from the opponent's breath and infer their level. The thing is, Richard only has three levels!
