Chapter 269: The Old Butler
Huzi shook his head and said, "It's not far from here." And as far as I know, as long as you take over their mission, you will be blessed by them, and the arena where my brother is is stipulated, and if they are found to have left the arena, they or their family members will be killed. My brother cares about me so much, he will definitely not do such a thing, and now that he has left here, he must have been blessed by that great good man. In other words, the elder brother promised to give them a task, and the arena could not kill the elder brother, otherwise the arena would definitely be retaliated against by the great good people. β
"In that case, then let's go to the great goodness. Hearing Huzi's explanation, Raels understood seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and then led Huzi to the great good man's house.
That kind family is worthy of being a big family that relies on doing tasks and giving money to others, and the two met a lot of people who went to his house to pick up tasks along the way.
Seeing so many people happily taking on the task, the hearts of the two of them were also relieved.
As soon as they walked into the house, the four big words "Receiving Tasks" appeared in front of them.
Without hesitation, the two of them went to that place.
Sitting next to the four big characters of "Pick up the task" was a butler with gray hair and reading glasses, and when he saw the two people who walked in front of him, he also picked up a magnifying glass, looked at the two for a moment, and then pointed at Raels, "You meet the criteria for taking the task." β
Then he pointed at Huzi, "You don't meet the criteria for taking on the task." β
Raels didn't know what the other party's temper was, and said respectfully: "This lord, we are not here to take over the task, we are here to find someone." β
"If you're here to find someone, you should go to the assignment side, not here. The old butler pointed to an inconspicuous place and said to the two of them.
Raels waved his hand and said, "My lord, you misunderstood, I didn't say that I was looking for someone to assign a task to find someone, but to find someone who was doing a task on your side. β
"Oh?" the old butler hesitated for a moment, and then said to Raels: "Our side is completely confidential about the information of the tasker, if you want to find the tasker, then go to the place where the task is handed in, and wait for him to come to you after completing the task." β
"Can't you be accommodating?" asked Raels, who quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of gold coins, towards the old man.
Money can make ghosts grind, and this gold coin is really a good thing.
Raels had just taken out the gold coin, and the old man, who was still leaning on the stool before, suddenly became much more energetic, and asked Raels with a kind hand, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will be accommodating." As he spoke, he didn't care whether Raels agreed to give him the gold coins or not, and grabbed the gold coins in his hand.
Then he took out a pamphlet and said, "First of all, I am accommodating, and if anyone asks about you, you must not tell anyone about it. If you don't find the person you're looking for later, don't shout here, or the consequences will be serious, you know?"
"Know, know, don't worry, my lord, we won't mess around. β
Raels and Huzi nodded heavily, and the old man was relieved and spread out the booklet in front of them, "Zhang San took over the hunting task of ten catties of coins, Li Si took over the task of finding people for hardware coins, and Wang Wu took over the tracking task of the wrong gold coinsγ...... Yan Qiang took over the assassination task of eighty gold coins. β
There are a total of seventy-two tasks listed above, and the most valuable task is the eighty gold coin task that Yan Qiang took over.
Look at the pick-up date, it's this week.
"My lord, do you only have this task book? Isn't there anything else?" Huzi had an accident this morning, and if Dear had taken over the task, it would have been this morning, but Raels and Huzi had searched twice and couldn't find a mission with more than a hundred gold coins, and they couldn't help but wonder a lot.
The old butler stroked his beard, shook his head, and said, "No." If there is no one you are looking for, go away. I'm afraid that if you stay here for a long time, it will arouse the disgust of your family, so you can leave quickly. β
"My lord, I would like to ask you one last question. Before leaving, Raels was still not reconciled.
"Let you go, didn't you hear?" the old butler suddenly lost his previous calmness for some reason, and his language carried an unfriendly tone.
Raels hurriedly put his hand into his pocket, and grabbed fifty gold coins to come out, and if there was money to make the devil grind, he didn't believe that with so many gold coins, the old man would not be blushing.
Sure enough, the moment he took out the gold coin, a golden light appeared in the old guy's eyes again. However, the golden light only lasted for a moment, and soon the old man's eyes darkened again.
The old guy swallowed his saliva and waved his hand helplessly at the two, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm really powerless." β
"Just?"
Although the old butler didn't make it clear, how could Raels not hear what he said, so that is to say, in addition to the booklet in his hand, there were other booklets, but that booklet was more important and could not be easily shown to outsiders, in short, that is, Raels did not give enough temptation, otherwise, even if the old man risked killing his head, he would take out the booklet.
After figuring out what the old butler meant, Raels took out another handful of gold coins from his pocket, fifty in one hand and a hundred in both hands.
Although a hundred gold coins can't make the old housekeeper a rich man, at least it can make him live a rich life. His salary is now calculated by the number of people who take on the task, and for every ten people who take on a task, he can receive half a gold coin from it.
Although he can also harvest five gold coins every month, it is only sixty gold coins in a year, unlike now, as long as he finds out the person the other party is looking for, he can get a hundred gold coins.
No, no, no, looking at the other party's appearance, just tell him if he has another quest book, you can get a hundred gold coins, if you tell him again, how to find another quest book, won't he take out more gold coins?
"Anyway, I've lived for most of my life, and I haven't gotten so much money at once, and the money he said is as much as my two-year salary, so I simply gambled and told him that there was another task book. β
The old fellow who had figured it out couldn't help but wave his hand at Raels, and then nodded his gaze in his hand.
Raels comprehended, handed the gold coin to the old butler, and sent a "thank you".
The old butler who took the gold coin was so happy, although his savings for so many years were far more than these, but they were all accumulated over the years, not like now, just answering the other party's question, you can get so much reward, where to find this kind of good thing.
I don't know how long I was immersed in this excitement, but the old butler hid the gold coin, and then said solemnly: "To be exact, there is indeed not only this one, but three of them. Like the one in my hand, it's called the basic task book, and the tasks with the highest reward belong to some assassination tasks, of course, most of these tasks are assassinating some businessmen, and they won't involve people behind the background. You will not be paid more than one gold coin. β
"The second task book is called the intermediate task book, and most of those tasks are related to military secrets, and I am not responsible for this part, so naturally I don't know. As for the remuneration for these tasks, most of them are between one hundred and two hundred, and never more than two hundred. β
"Never more than two hundred?" Raels frowned, Dear usually had some savings, and when he gave himself the two hundred gold coins, he didn't tell himself how many of them were his own and how many of them were borrowed, Raels naturally didn't know if he took over the second or third mission.
Wait, the old butler seems to say that he will only be paid after completing the task, and if Dear takes over the second task, I believe it is impossible to complete it in such a short time, so he should take over the third task.
After a short period of thought, Raels also understood the type of task that Dear had taken over.
At this time, the old housekeeper happened to talk about the third kind of task, "The third kind of task is called the ultimate task, and it is also a special task here, anyone who takes over these tasks can get the desired reward in advance, as for what the task is, it depends on what you want." As for what the tasks are, I can't reach them in a small role like mine. β
"And so it was. β
Hearing the old butler's explanation, Raels believed that the other party had not lied to him, and instead took out a handful of gold coins and asked the old butler, "Then how can I see the ultimate mission book?"
"Hehe, this kid is really on the road. With the previous sweetness, the old butler was no longer reluctant to explain to Raels these secrets that did not belong to them, and he smiled and put the gold coins in his pocket.
I don't know if there are too many gold coins in it, or for other reasons, the gold coins that were stuffed in it actually fell out, the old man Le hurriedly put the gold coins up, and then explained: "The ultimate task book, in Liu Dashanren's place, ordinary people can't reach it. However, if you want to do the ultimate mission, you can go to the underground ring competition, and it is said that Liu Dashan often goes there to find someone to take over the task. If you participate in the ring match, perform well, and are favored by Liu Dashan, you can take over the ultimate task and find the person you are looking for. β
"Thank you, sir. β
After listening to the old man's explanation, Raels understood that it was not so easy to get in touch with the ultimate mission book in a short period of time, but if he didn't try to get in touch with the ultimate mission book, how would he find Dear?
He has not known De Ar for a long time, and it stands to reason that he should not run around for De Ar, but it is because of this younger brother of De Ar that he saw himself as a child.
At that time, after his mother was beaten, how he longed for someone to help him, but unfortunately, even if he shouted and knocked his head, no one came to help him.
So he understands Huzi's mood at this moment, if he doesn't help Huzi, then no one can help him anymore.
At this time, Raels kept thinking, if he had been helped by others at that time, would his mother have lived a few more years, would she have lived to this day?
But that's not possible.
What he has to do now is to help Huzi find his brother in the shortest possible time, so that his heart will be at peace.
As he was about to say goodbye to the old butler, Raels also thought of something, took out another handful of gold coins, and asked the old butler: "My lord, what I still want to know is that for the gladiators in the arena, if they leave the arena and go to the underground ring, will the owner of the arena sanction them?"
