Chapter 16 Anti-Employment
"How many people are you going to hire?"
Roger already knew the answer, and he asked knowingly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because he suddenly remembered another task of his own, which seemed to be a godsend, so he would finish his task first.
"Five people, rest assured, there won't be too many people."
"So, is the total number of 30 golden griffins, or is there a total of each?" Although the answer is easy to guess and obvious, Roger plans to ask anyway.
"Of course, 30 golden griffons per person, and five people have them. The items you get on the way are yours too, and I just have to complete my own mission. ”
Roger pretended to be pensive, then shook his head slightly, and said: "30 golden griffons per person, plus items is not bad, but there are too many people, Jerry should also know, plus me, there are already two people." ”
"Oh."
"If I can help you get the Holy Grail alone, is the reward negotiable? You know that the fewer people, the better. ”
"You're alone!"
Helena stared at Roger with a foolish look, "The Dark Regions aren't that fun, can you do it alone?" ”
"Two of you, plus you." Roger replied, "If you can't do it, you can increase the number of people." For you...... Well, it's the same for me, it's safest that way. ”
In this task, the fewer people the better, and it is better to go alone. Of course, if Helena had this kind of confidence, she would not have taken such a big risk to hire an adventurer.
Pursing her lips and thinking about it for a moment, Helena said, "Other people's rewards can also be given to you, provided that you get the Holy Grail." ”
"Of course, without the Holy Grail, there is no reward."
Roger grinned, it took so much effort, but the most important reason was not for money.
After all, it is too difficult to find a priest, and nuns also have the ability to be a priest. In addition, they stay in the monastery all year round to study, and in terms of spells, they are stronger than ordinary priests, which is very suitable for Roger's task.
Moreover, Roger didn't want others to participate in that mission. As for Helena's mission, if it's too difficult, just hire a few more adventurers to join.
Roger continued: "I only need to pay four people, and you can save 30 golden griffins, but do one thing for me first. ”
Seeing Helena staring at him in surprise with an incredulous expression, Roger immediately said, "It's just a small favor, in fact, it's easy for you to deal with an undead creature." ”
"Hey, I'm not that stupid, you're hiring me."
Helena stood up, her hands on her hips, this look was not elegant.
"Help."
Roger firmed his tone, "30 golden griffins do a small favor, you don't lose at all, ordinary tasks are not so expensive......"
"Hey, you're hiring me for my money."
"No, it's my money, the payment you pay me is naturally my money, it's just that it's easier to settle."
"This ...... It seems to be the same. ”
Helena thought about it for a moment and realized that there seemed to be no big problem with the settlement of money, but she always felt that something was not quite right. After thinking about it a little more, she understood that the only thing she needed to decide was whether or not to help.
"So, you agreed."
"Tell me about your mission. I'll have to think about the level of trouble. ”
Helena said. Roger was strongly recommended by the tavern owner, saying that he had completed the quest in the Dark Regions, and it was easy to hire people to go to ordinary dungeons, but it was not so easy to go to the Dark Regions.
It's rare to find a veteran, Helena has a crush on Roger, but she is still a little worried, after all, there are too few of them.
"It won't take you too much time, and it's in the Dark Regions, in a dwarven graveyard."
"It's the undead again." Helena frowned, her Holy Grail mission also had to deal with the undead, and it seemed that dealing with those disgusting undead was inevitable.
"It's just a dish on the priest's plate, I've been there once, it's not a big danger, I've been to the dark region many times, I'm familiar with the terrain there, it's hard to find another person like me." Roger also told the truth, "How? ”
"Okay."
Helena saw the confidence in Roger's eyes, and she suddenly felt that it was okay to give it a try, so she agreed. But as soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little, in case the two of them couldn't figure it out, wouldn't they have to come back?
Forget it, I agreed anyway. Thinking so, she continued, "Let's get ready and leave at noon. ”
When Helena agreed, Roger also got the quest information, showing that it was to help her get the Holy Grail, and the experience was actually 2000. This is by far the most XP quest, 500 more than the Assassinate Gang Boss quest with additional XP.
Coincidentally, Helena's mission location was not far from the dwarven graveyard that Roger was going to, and the entrance to the Dark Regions was the same.
Helena has nothing to prepare, she is a nun, although some of the priest's basic magic and basic abilities, she will know. But she hasn't undergone any combat training, and she can't even use a dagger, so she is basically powerless. So she didn't need to prepare anything, she was ready to go.
And Roger's belongings were all brought with him, and he brought the things he should have brought with him, and all he needed was to hire a carriage, so they set off early before noon.
As soon as she left the inner courtyard of the tavern, Helena covered her face, and she was relieved until she was out of town, but she still did not take off the veil, and when she arrived in a certain town, she refused to take it unless she rested in the inn.
When they arrived at the small town of Westwood, they rested for the day and set off early the next morning. Because the carriage refused to go to the hilly terrain, they had to walk through it themselves.
Before leaving Wisewood, Helena actually put on a thin soft armor outside. It turns out that she is also equipped.
Contrary to what most people think, unless there is a special enchantment, leather armor is very hard, and the thicker it is, the more uncomfortable it is to wear. The material of soft armor is very special, it is definitely a magic item, and its protection is only a little worse than that of standard leather armor, but it is more comfortable and lighter than leather armor.
"I finally don't have to wear this."
Out of the town and into the hills, Helena took off the veil. She also had to be cautious, it was still uncomfortable to have a dark silk scarf on her face on such a hot day.
…………
At this moment, on a mountain rock two miles away, a young man was crouching on the rock face, holding a monocular, looking at Roger and the two. Beneath the rock where the young man was standing stood two men, dressed in the same half-armor as he was, but with heavy swords hanging from their waists.
The way to the Dark Regions was the only way to go, and they spent a few days in the town of Westwood before they spotted a man who seemed to be their target.
"Blocked by rocks."
The young man left the rock above and carefully put away his binoculars.
"Are you sure it's her?" A swordsman asked.
"Yes." The corners of the young man's mouth tilted, revealing a chuckle, "She has only hired one person, or maybe Master Philip sent it to her, and her skills may not be bad, so be careful." ”
"Lord Philip won't just send a guard with only ordinary leather armor, you can rest assured, just an ordinary adventurer." The other swordsman shook his head, he was the same as the other swordsman, he was a mid-level swordsman, a young adventurer didn't pay attention to it, "Anyway, it's easier to die, it's a little difficult to catch alive, I hope he can carry it." ”
"Even if you let go of the attack, as long as you don't die, after you catch it, you can just treat it, it's not a difficult thing. It really doesn't work, but so can the corpse. The young man didn't care, "Be careful with Helena, she'll be bored when she dies." ”
"Forget it, Helena will leave it to me." The young man made a helpless expression, "Let's go back to the town first, they won't come up so soon, it's really uncomfortable to stay in the wild." ”
"Yes."
The two swordsmen followed the young man down the path back to the town of Westwood.
