Chapter 194: Shotguns for Cannons
After a short period of rectification, they set off again in order to complete the mission, although their harvest this year has already exceeded their expectations, but in order to save their reputation, they still choose to go to the Green Shadow Forest again.
Although the punishment of the mercenary union is not too severe, in this kind of organization where half of the face is occupied, once the face is lost because of the failure of the mission, it is really a big thing. Especially the task they took on, which Gillentina scrambled over, and it was a bit unreasonable to give up on it. Coupled with the fact that they have become the focus of adventurers in Karlo Village at the moment, it is really not a good choice to abandon the mission. So although a few of them were eager to take this huge amount of money home early to rest for a while, they still obediently returned to the Green Shadow Forest for their future development.
What is different from last time is that this time all the players except Drew have a new look in their equipment. Not only Hakvar, who is a mage, but Gillentina, as the captain, led her teammates to grit her teeth and buy several pieces of magical equipment to arm the team. As a result, the amount of gold they had on hand had shrunk considerably.
At the instigation of Gillentina, Mayfly bought two daggers with bleeding and tearing wounds, Frémi bought a combination bow with precision and breath and a shoe with light body effects, and Gillentina updated her longsword and replaced the original skin bracers with magic bracers with strength and speed amplification.
Hakwal spent almost all of the 37 gold coins that had just arrived. A Golden Robe, a Golden Necklace that triggers the shield spell, a brooch with a slight calming effect, and a headdress with a Focus effect are the result of his shopping at the Magical Equipment Shop in Karlo Village. Coupled with the silver-level ice spear spiral magic scroll and the gold-level ice armor magic scroll that he bought to learn skills, at this moment, the local tyrant in the eyes of others, His Excellency Hackwal, only had 2 gold coins and 17 silver coins in his pocket.
I have to say that the improvement brought to them by the magic equipment is quite amazing, and on the way to the place where they killed 3 gold-rank demonic beasts, they once again encountered a group of 8 silver-level wind wolves. Only this time, with the help of Mar, Frémi, and Hakvar, they were able to easily wipe out the band of Tempest Wolves. From start to finish, Gillentina, Mayfly, and Drew simply have room to make a move.
"Magical equipment deserves to be magical equipment. If the previous full-body armor was just now, the beast's desperate counterattack would definitely be left with one or two scratches, but this one can't even see a trace! If we had this equipment, I don't think we would have been so cowardly when we encountered that jackal mercenary group, and we would have killed them all. ”
After testing his defenses a little, Mal happily tapped on his new gear. Although he almost didn't cry because of the high price when Gillentina made the decision to buy it ruthlessly, he had already forgotten his mentality at that time.
"You crow's mouth, drink your wine, and don't mess with another bunch of damn black dogs. If we couldn't even achieve such an effect after spending so many gold coins, then we really bought these equipment for nothing. I don't know who was so heartbroken at that time that the gold coin didn't want to buy that full-body armor, so he deleted his ugliness from his memory. ”
Hakvar, who had tried on his full equipment, was also overjoyed, and after hearing Mal's exclamation, he kindly taunted the dwarven heavy warrior who was making a fuss. Through this battle, it was obvious to Huckvar that his strength had increased by at least half after equipping these magical equipment!
Frémi didn't get involved in the fight between Mar and Hackwal, but hugged his new weapon tightly, and seemed quite satisfied with the purchase.
Gillentina, who couldn't make a move, looked at each other with a wry smile and shook her head, and began to deal with the corpses of the galvanic wolves. Ever since they learned about Drew's possession of the Spatial Ring during the last attack by the Jackal Black Adventure Band, the two of them have begun to fully explain what it means to be an adventurer. After this hard work, all of them were angry about the wallets that had been flattened, and since these wolves dared to send them to the door, it would naturally become a part of their wallets.
After dealing with the Tempest Wolves and stuffing everything they could sell for money into Drew's Spatial Ring, they headed out deep into the forest again.
It's just that to all of them, Hakwal's taunt actually came true! On their way to their destination, they actually encountered two groups of black adventurers who targeted their adventure group. What's even funnier is that the intelligence of these black adventurers is quite backward for some reason, not to mention that they didn't know that they killed 3 gold-level demonic beasts at the same time, and they didn't know that they had just eliminated the famous Jackal Black Adventure Group not long ago, and just regarded them as the group of people who had just experienced the betrayal of their teammates last year.
The results were self-evident, and they smiled heartily as they looked at the group of silver-level black adventurers who were attacking with great momentum.
"I'm worried that my wallet is flattened, but I didn't expect someone to come and give someone a head! It's time to kill you all so that the other Black Dogs can get to know our party! ”
With Gillentina's order, the team members who were gearing up for updating their equipment began to act. After a while, except for two or three small shrimps that found that they were not good runners, the dog tags of the rest of the black adventurers became Gillentina's trophies. Undoubtedly, this group of black adventurers has become a litmus test for the members of Gillentina's adventure group who have just purchased a large number of magical equipment. The few who escaped could spread their strength in the circle of black adventurers and black mercenaries, so that they would encounter less unnecessary trouble.
"Mayfly, didn't you bring a Black Adventurer Wanted Warrant? Hurry up and help me see how much this bunch of guys is worth. It's no wonder my sister used to tell me that the adventurers or mercenaries who are the most profitable can not only get their equipment, but also get considerable bonuses! It's just so comfortable. ”
After collecting all the equipment and items on the black adventurers into trophies and throwing them into Drew's spatial ring, Gillentina happily handed over the black adventurers' dog tags to the mayflies. The strength of the two groups of black adventurers who attacked them this time was not much different from the strength of the Jackal Black Adventurers, and according to Gillentina's thoughts, they should be able to get a bounty of at least 500 gold coins this time.
"You may be disappointed, my captain. The first guys to attack us were the guys from the Black Adventure Troupe, the ones that have only recently started to run rampant. Although their strength is all Silver Rank, and their leader has reached the first level of Gold Rank, because the consequences caused by them are not very serious, the bounty is only 120 gold coins. ”
"The guys in the second batch were a little bit better than the first batch. They're the guys from the Little Word Black Adventure Group. If all of them, especially some high-ranking personnel, were killed, the bounty might have been higher, but it seemed that those black loaches had already left their men behind and disappeared after realizing that the situation was wrong. If you only have these minions, the bounty is only about 200 gold coins. ”
Took a thick stack of bounty slips from Drew (am I a communal warehouse?) Throw everything in my ring! BY, Drew) rummaged through it, and the mayfly unceremoniously shattered Gillentina's wonderful illusions. Without the support of Drew's water curtain Tianhua, they let go of a lot of guys. Especially the second time, almost all the high-ranking members of the Black Adventure Group ran away. So when rummaging through the wanted warrant, the mayfly has been secretly saying that it's a pity.
"After a bounty of 300 gold coins, you don't take 100 gold coins into your eyes, right? That's a bit too adaptable, isn't it? It's a pity that a P! These are all gold coins that were delivered to your door, or the kind that were easily obtained! Don't forget, last time we got that bounty after a fight! So don't TMD sigh out there. We didn't seem to have earned 100 gold coins for our entire team last year, right? ”
"Hurry up and finish the mission, and collect the bounty of this group of guys, and break up early this year and rest early. I don't want to keep swinging around with such a large sum of gold, so don't procrastinate, Captain. ”
While Gillentina and Mayfly were still there sighing for the runaway black adventurers' bounty, Mal came over and woke the two men who were about to become money slaves from YY. The two of them quickly realized their gaffe and smiled awkwardly as they watched Mal.
Mal had a point, they didn't get a few gold coins last year. And this year is just one time that the black adventurers' bonuses have made them look down on the bounty of 100 gold coins. Both Gillentina and Mayfly found out that they were a little too greedy because of the good sail this year.
After throwing the thick bounty list back to Drew and throwing him to the Space Ring for safekeeping, Mayfly and Gillentina quickly adjusted their mindset and prepared to set off for the Green Shadow Python's lair again. As Marr just said, although it cost a lot, the amount of gold in their hands is still very large for other adventurers of the same level.
It is not a good sign for adventurers who keep their heads dangling around their belts all year round, and often when the gold reaches a certain amount, they will choose to take them back to a place they think is safe. They don't want to make their hard-earned gold coins because they accidentally cheapen others. Many parties are still fundamentally based on irregular members, so they don't feel comfortable with their gold, let alone trust their teammates to deliver it to their homes if they die in an adventure.
So both Gillentina and Mayfly were persuaded by this dwarf, who was usually very aggressive but extremely shrewd at critical moments.
