Chapter 25: The Siege Beast
After leaving the blacksmith's shop, the group went to the mercenary camp again, but Glaze had not returned, so they had to find a mercenary to bring them a message and tell Glaze that the 10 bottles of Ice and Fire would not be available until tomorrow, and then the Scarlet Squad returned to Chris Manor.
After a good night's rest, the next morning, the Scarlet Squad came to the blacksmith shop again, and as soon as everyone entered the hall of the blacksmith shop, a familiar figure greeted them.
"Welcome, adults of the Scarlet Squad! Lord Farah has already instructed me to take you directly to her as soon as you come. β
It was none other than someone else who spoke, it was Natasha who showed them the way when Xiang Yuanyang and them came to the blacksmith shop last time, but this time Natasha was a good learner, and even greeted Xiang Yuanyang and them carefully, for fear of disturbing the surrounding crowd.
"Hehe, then you'll have to work for you." Seeing that it was an acquaintance, everyone in the Scarlet Squad also smiled, and then motioned for Natasha to lead the way.
Led by Natasha, the group soon came to a door, but this was not Farah's office, Natasha knocked on the door, and after getting Farah's permission, she opened the door, invited the people of the Scarlet Team in, and then left the place.
"Coming so early? How? I'm afraid that I won't be able to reward you for the task? Seeing everyone's arrival, Farah didn't have a trace of surprise on his face, but he still habitually laughed at everyone.
Matthew touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "You are joking, Lord Farah, with your identity, you naturally will not lie to our relatives over the years." β
"Huh? You young people? How? Am I not young? The moment Matthew's words fell, Farah's eyebrows furrowed.
Knowing that he had misused the words, Matthew immediately shook his head in denial, "What...... How so? Lord Farah, you're as young and beautiful as ever! β
Seeing Matthew's behavior, the other members of the Scarlet Squad couldn't help but cast contemptuous glances at him, but how could their small actions be hidden from Farah's sharp eyes?
"What? Don't you agree with Matthew's words? β
"I didn't ...... There is no such thing! Matthew was right! Being stared at by Fara Senran's eyes, the others couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs for an instant, and immediately denied it in a hurry.
"Humph! That's pretty much it! Farah looked at the Scarlet Squad with a satisfied look.
"Pretty much a ghost! Sister, you're hundreds of years old, okay! Although they didn't dare to say anything, everyone complained in their hearts.
"That'...... That, Master Farah, about the reward for our mission this time...... "Although he was a little frightened, Matthew didn't forget the purpose of their trip, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Cut! It's boring! Here! These are the rewards for your missions. Farah muttered a few words, then pulled out ten bottles from her inventory and placed them on the table in the room.
The crowd saw that they had been fortunate for a month's reward [η±,ι. Small' said. The net is placed in front of him, how can there be any hypocrisy? So he immediately stepped forward and received the 10 bottles of Ice and Fire in the inventory.
"Thank you! Lord Farah! Now that the task has been completely completed, we will not bother and take our leave! "Now that the reward has been received, Matthew and the others naturally don't want to stay here for long, after all, Farah's fickle personality is too much of a headache.
However, Matthew and the others wanted to leave, but Farah disagreed, "What's the hurry? I'm not done yet! β
"Huh? What's wrong? Do you have any other instructions, Lord Farah? Hearing Farah's words, Xiang Yuanyang and they couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that this time I gave you the task of bringing back 10 kilograms of the Cerlan Stone, but you overfulfilled the task, after measurement, the Cerlan Stone you brought back was 11.7 kilograms, so for the part you overfulfilled, our blacksmith shop should naturally give you some more rewards!"
Hearing Farah's words, Xiang Yuanyang and they were also stunned, this time their target was only those 10 bottles of ice and fire, but they didn't think that they could get something else.
"Give us some more rewards? But we only need 10 bottles of ice and fire! Obviously, for Farah's so-called reward, everyone in the Scarlet Squad thought it was ice and fire.
When he heard this, Farah's face was already dark, "You bastards! Do you think the ice and fire brewed by the old lady is a street product? I don't even have much of this kind of stuff myself! β
Being yelled at by Farah like this, everyone in the Blood Red Team couldn't help but shrink their necks at the same time, and under the eager eyes of everyone, Matthew, as the captain, couldn't help but helplessly act as the one who spoke again, looking at Farah cautiously.
"That...... If it's not ice and fire, what kind of reward is it? β
Seeing everyone cowering, Farah couldn't help but feel amused, but she still took out what had been prepared in her inventory.
"What is this?" Seeing what Farrah had placed on the table, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, because what Farah took out of his backpack was a space bag.
"I heard from the Wise of Kane that you were in need of gems, so I managed to get some." As if anticipating their doubts, Farah answered their questions immediately.
"Well, thank you, Lord Farah!" For Farah's kindness, everyone did not refuse, so they immediately put away the space bag on the table.
Now that the mission has been delivered, Matthew and the others don't want to stay any longer, so they just say goodbye to Farah.
After everyone left, a look of loss suddenly appeared on Farah's face, "Really...... Why don't you open it and take a look? I wanted to appreciate their surprised expressions and said......"
However, at the thought of Matthew's stunned appearance after they opened the space bag, the lost expression on Farah's face suddenly disappeared, "Hehe...... Little ones, it's time for you to be stunned......"
Shortly after leaving the blacksmith's shop, the Red Squad returned to the mercenary camp, where Grez and Kiglis were found.
Of course, everyone didn't know that when Grez told Kiglis about the completion of the mission of the Scarlet Team yesterday, this guy couldn't wait to come to the mercenary camp, and when they learned from the mercenary who brought the message that Xiang Yuanyang and they would only bring the wine tomorrow, they had been waiting in the mercenary camp.
At this time, seeing Xiang Yuanyang's arrival, whether it was Kigres or Grez, their eyes lit up, and they immediately greeted them.
"Hey, hey, hey...... What's that...... Thank you for your gastronomy! I don't know if you brought something here? Kiglis stared at everyone with bright eyes, if he hadn't tried to restrain himself, I'm afraid he would have begun to drool at this time, but even so, everyone was still a little frightened when they saw his eyes.
Because they were really uncomfortable being stared at by Kiglis, Matthew hurriedly took out the 10 bottles of ice and fire in the inventory, and when Kiglis and they saw the wine bottle in Matthew's hand, they could no longer suppress the impulse in their hearts, and immediately snatched the wine bottle from Matthew's hand and hurriedly lifted the cap of one of the bottles.
The moment the cap was opened, a refreshing aroma of wine permeated, and Kiglis and Gretz, who smelled the aroma, couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression.
Even the members of the Scarlet Squad, who were still speechless to Kigris and Grez, couldn't help but be deeply attracted when they smelled the aroma of wine.
Perhaps it was the relief of the smell of the wine that the wine worm of Kiglis calmed down a little, "That...... You've done a good job, and as a reward, the Eye of Elitra is yours! β
However, like Farrah before him, Kigris also knew that the value of an Eye of Elitra was still far less than that of the 10 bottles of Ice and Fire, so after the Eye of Elitra under the Scarlet Squad, Kigris took out two more items from his inventory.
"That...... For the sake of your hard work, I'll give you 2 more little things, take them! β
"Huh? What's so embarrassing about that? We've already got the precious dark gold equipment of the Eye of Elitra, so how can we take it from you! Seeing that Kiglis took out two more items that emitted a dark golden light, Matthew was naturally embarrassed to accept them again.
"Hahaha...... You naΓ―ve little ones! This Eye of Elitra is good, but it's not worth even 1 bottle of Ice Fire! This kind of Ice Flame is the most delicious wine, and the raw materials used to make it are extremely rare, and the price of each bottle of Ice Flame is not less than 2 million gold coins, but even if the price is so high, Farah is reluctant to sell it! β
Kiglis laughed, saying that Matthew's politeness was completely superfluous, "In comparison, the price of these 3 pieces of dark gold equipment is actually not as good as these fine wines!" If it weren't for the good things I had in my hands that were suitable for you, I would have liked to get a few more pieces of dark gold equipment! β
Since Kiglis said so, it would be a bit hypocritical for everyone to refuse again, so Matthew still stepped forward and solemnly took the two pieces of dark gold equipment in Kiglis's hands.
I have to say that Xiang Yuanyang and they did make a lot of money this time, in fact, in terms of collecting the Stone of Serran, the people of the Blood Red Team did not spend much energy, but this time they obtained 3 pieces of dark gold equipment and some gems, and for a while, everyone in the Blood Red Team couldn't help but be excited.
However, what everyone didn't know was that their biggest gain this time was the space bag that Farah gave them, and of course, it wouldn't be long before they found out.
