As the Catherine priest vanished from view. Laru, who had fallen silent since Rielly's departure, suddenly reached out and knocked on Clematis. Bote: "Didn't you say you had a good bargaining power?" Why didn't it show up at all? ”

"Because you don't need to!" Claymatis. "If Priest Catherina thinks the offer is not enough, she will write the number in the palm of my hand with her little finger," Bott said, "If the offer was not enough. Now that there is none, it means that he is very satisfied with the remuneration I offered. In this way, we naturally don't need to be too busy. ”

"It's a bit like a horse market! Do you use finger-to-finger contact instead of words? Barrett touched his chin and nodded.

Claymatis. Bot smiled and took a cup from the coffee table: "That's natural!" Do you have to fight for red faces and hot ears and spit everywhere? Don't you think that's too much to ruin your image? ”

"If you have money to make, what else do you want to do?" Anvil sat in his chair and muttered. The furniture in the reception room was evidently not intended for dwarves, so the poor short-legged man sat down with his legs dangling in the air—he had to make a small jump from the anvil in order to sit on it.

"Dwarves really don't have much to say, and I finally understand why you lost to that druid before." Claudia. Auditore did not agree with this view of the anvil, and when he refuted it, it can be said that it was extremely sharp. Hearing this, it was as if someone had stabbed him in the chest again. After the original wound was torn, the whole person fell into silence.

Fortunately, Barrett was not affected by this confrontation: "But the 'goddess of wealth and business' has always advertised that you get what you pay for. Clematis, are you sure that the reward you give will make the other party do their best in this matter? ”

Barrett's concerns are not unfounded. If the other party divides the charges into three, six, nine and so on in their hearts. If you don't get enough money, you may only be given a second-level choice. If that's the case, you'll be miserable for all of you.

"Barrett, you can rest assured! When I was in Repulse City, I had been working in the church for a few months. Although I have never carried out this kind of action, I have not lost my knowledge. So the general price is still very clear. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot paused slightly, "Of course, depending on the level of the economy in different places, the price in this area will also go up and down. But I think Boreham has the price for that. It shouldn't surpass Repulse City. So when I made a move before, I was already quite sure. ”

"It's good if you're sure. After all, you are the only one among us who has experience in this kind of thing. Barrett's approach. It has always been a professional matter, and it is left to the professionals. It's just that the team was almost all amateur workers before, so Barrett had to worry about all aspects of trivial matters on his own. Now see Clematis. Bot was already able to take charge of himself, and he felt a little relieved of some burden.

As long as it is related to money, the actions of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church will immediately become very high. Less than 10 minutes later, Priest Catherina returned to the reception room with a suitcase. After placing the carved and gold-carved lacquered teak box in his hand on the coffee table. Priest Catherine tapped her badge on the lock.

Immediately after that, there was a "click". Originally, the lock was opened. When Priest Catherina reached out and opened the chest, what appeared in the eyes of the players was a roll of amber silk. Barrett was a little surprised that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce would use such an expensive exotic item as a tool for recording internal tasks: 'No wonder the chests that contain them need to be specially enchanted. Not to mention the content recorded on these scrolls, the material itself is also a great asset. ’

Remember that silk in the game is more scarce than in Europe during the Middle Ages, and it comes from the Far East thousands of miles away - at least in reality, the Arab region later had the corresponding technology. And thanks to the remnants of Rome, the Byzantine silk reeling technology was even earlier. It's just that compared with the ancient civilizations in the East, they are much inferior in terms of quality and quantity.

Since the source of silk is more scarce in the western continent, their prices are naturally rising. And in this world full of supernatural abilities. Silk does more than just be an aesthetically pleasing fabric. To a certain extent, they also serve as carriers of special spell scrolls, as well as raw materials for certain magical curiosities.

Because it's not just a daily necessities. Therefore, not to mention the high price of silk on the western continent, not to mention the clothing made of this fabric, not everyone can wear it. For example, in the Kingdom of Cruze, only nobles, clergy, and professionals of a certain status were allowed to wear silk clothing in public. Even the wealthiest merchants could only use it at home, and when they went outside, they had to change it to flax or wool - although there was no such prohibition in the kingdom of Nohan, there were still very few people in brocade clothes to be seen on the streets.

Therefore, the use of silk as the carrier of the mission content by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is really a manifestation of wealth. Unless these quest scrolls are not just a document, but also a special spell contract. Otherwise, the extravagance of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is staggering.

Just as Barrett looked at the silk scrolls and his thoughts diverged. Priestess Catherina had already patted the box and said, "Little girl, all the tasks you want are here. These are all group tasks that were previously categorized, and the contribution after completing them is enough for you to redeem the ability to 'channel positive energy'. As for the tasks of the 'Divine Hypermagic' specialty, I advise you to do it separately. If the two are combined, even if you, Miss Bot, are the pastor of the Third Ring, it is still quite dangerous. We are not martyrs who believe in the 'Lord of Justice.' It's better to be on the safe side of things. ”

After hearing the advice given by Priest Catherina, the players all felt that her statement was reasonable. However, in this matter, the final decision is still made by Claymatis. In the hands of Bot himself. If she's determined to take on a difficult task. Then I'm afraid I'll have to bother Priest Catherina to make another trip.

"Alright! Since it is the experience of our predecessors, then we naturally have to listen. "Claymatis. Bot looked at the scroll of silk in the box, "Is this something you can read for us?" ”

"Since I brought it, I naturally showed it to you. Be careful, though, not to get these scrolls dirty or damaged. Otherwise, you will have to pay a large amount of compensation. Priest Catherina naturally had no intention of standing in the way.

Players then take all the silks out of the box at once, unfold them and start reading them. From time to time, they exchanged words, as if they were exchanging tasks in their hands. Immediately, the reception room became lively, and the communication between the players was extremely lively. And Priest Catherina seems to be unfazed by this phenomenon. She just looked at the lively scene in front of her like that, and didn't say a word.

Claudia. Auditore was the first to suggest: "Barrett I think this is good!" Malkin Collar I think you've been there before, it's not that far from Boreham Collar. And in the territory of Nohan. If something happens, the local defenders will still have a little affection for you. ”

"No! No way! Don't you see that it is asking us to find out the whereabouts of a group of horse thieves? Barrett really doesn't know why he feels the urge to smoke people now, "A task like this is a pit!" It doesn't look like it's a fight or a collection, but in fact, when I found those horse thieves. Often, there is still a fight. Of course, I'm not worried about the strength of those horse thieves. But in the place where Malkin led the horses. It's a matter of luck that we want to find them. Just a few of us, who knows exactly when to find it. ”

"What about this? We are familiar with the escort mission. And since it's a team, the absence of those two shouldn't have much impact. The anvil handed Barrett a roll of silk.

"This is a caravan mission to the northern city-state of Walkerson." Speaking of this, Barrett suddenly stuck, "Wait! Is it actually sea freight? When the goods are shipped by sea, the owner of the cargo will also have to hire additional manpower. Could it be that something happened to that route at a time when I didn't know it? ”

At sea, the ability of a vessel to protect itself is generally impressive. They had the strongest ships and were very well armed. At the same time, sailors who sail on the sea all year round have not trained a good skill suitable for naval warfare. Coupled with the captains and members of the big guys, they're usually some good pros as well. Otherwise, mercenaries with long-term contracts will be hired.

As a result, it is usually rare for a caravan to hire someone on the ship. In a sense, this kind of behavior can also be said to be distrustful of the crew and the shipowner, and to eat and spread the word. It may even affect the earnings of that ship for a long time. When this happens, ships often choose to refuse to allow caravans of people and cargo on board. Look for another employer instead. Unless something terrible happens on the sea, it will be possible for the two sides to work together.

Hearing this, Clematis. Immediately, Bot turned his face to Priest Catherina. It seems that he wants to get the answer he wants from the mouth of this parishioner. However, Priest Catherina ran her finger at her chin and said, "In this temple, there is a price to be paid for any information. You don't think you can break the rules! ”

Immediately after Clematis. Bot tossed the other party a gold coin: "The gems I gave earlier are not only worth these things in front of you!" And I don't think it's a big secret. So there are no more. ”

"You little girl actually played this game for me." Priest Catherina tossed the coin in her hand and put it in her pocket: "Remember the merfolk who caused great turmoil in the South last year? They seem to have been spotted on the northern shipping lanes as well. ”

"What are they doing in the north? The water temperature there should not be suitable for their survival. Barrett then asked.

Priestess Catherina shook her head: "I'm not one of those fish people, how can I know what's going on in their heads." And the current information is only that some ships have seen some fishmen cruising on the route. There is no record of those fish-men attacking ships. If it weren't for what happened in the south last year, the caravans by sea wouldn't have recruited people on an ad hoc basis! Of course, it is precisely because of this that some people will spend a lot of money to go through our channel! ”

"I don't seem to hear the wind in the market! Could it be that someone gave a gag order? But with the big mouths of those sailors, how could it be completely blocked. "Claymatis. Bot immediately felt that something was wrong.

Barrett interjected at this point: "Those sailors have always liked to brag and fart. If it weren't officially recognized, few people would believe what they say. So even if there is such a statement, it is often confined to the tavern near the pier. It's normal that we can't hear in the city of Poitou. ”

"This road seems to be more lucky! If you're lucky, nothing happens. If you're unlucky, you'll have to go to the sea to feed the fish. "Klematis who sees the risks. Bot shook his head. She then removed a tight-mouthed linen bag from her belt and handed it to Priestess Catherina. Obviously, it was to ask the staff member who was familiar with the task to help with the selection.

After squeezing the money bag in her hand, Priest Catherina smiled: "This is your pocket money, but it's enough." Put them all down and let me find them for you. By the way, do you need anything other than having to be a team task? ”

"If anything, we don't have mages and wanderers in our ranks. Therefore, it is best to avoid these two shortcomings. "Claymatis. Bot immediately uttered his prepared words.

Immediately afterwards, Priest Catherina, who was originally planning to make a move, stopped: "If that's the case, you should choose the previous shipping mission!" The rest of the quests either become very difficult without a mage, or they must be completed with a wanderer. (To be continued.) )
