Chapter 113: Bounty Order

"Alan, I'm afraid it's not that simple?"

Before Userondia could speak, Bloom had already answered for him.

"Why?"

"Five years ago, after the Bauhinia War, the Holy See once issued a huge bounty order throughout the continent, anyone who can find the body of the dragon knight Gracis and put him in the hands of the Holy See can get a bounty of 100,000 gold coins. At that time, it caused a sensation in the adventurer world, under the temptation of a huge bounty, many people even hired mercenaries to embark on the road to find Gracys's body, and some even ventured into the area of the Cullen Mountains to search, but they found nothing except for heavy losses, Gracys's body disappeared from then on, this search lasted for about two years, and finally everyone gradually gave up, but the Holy See's bounty order is still there, and even the task of finding Gracis is still hanging on the task list of the mercenary union, so now this bounty is still valid, if we rush back with Gracis's body, I am afraid that we will get into trouble, and may even implicate Gracis's family. ”

Bloom patted his head and suddenly remembered the mission that caused a sensation in the mercenary world five years ago, when the paladin shot the dragon knight Graces, everyone on the battlefield saw it clearly, but not every subject of Higg saw this scene, so when the news of the death of the dragon knight spread, as a symbol of the strength of the Higg Empire, many people were still skeptical about this matter because they had not seen the body of Graces, and they also thought that Graces was just temporarily hiding, and one day he would ride the proud dragonIt is based on the mentality of the Higgs that the Holy See is eager to get Gracies's body, and uses the corpse to tell those Higgs who are lucky that Gracius will not come back, and the Holy See will always be their new master, so finding Gracis's body will be very helpful for the Holy See to establish its authority in Hig.

"Your friend, Your Excellency is right, the reason why I have been unable to choose humans to help me all these years is because the temptation of 100,000 gold coins is too great for them, and I cannot guarantee that they will be able to resist the temptation to return the body to Gracis's family after handing it over to them. On Dragon God Mountain, seeing that you have taken out a few priceless treasures just to exchange them for the dragon's tears, I know that you don't care about money that much, which is another important reason why I am determined to ask you for help. ”

Moonerodia explained further.

"In that case, why don't you cremate the body first and then bring it back to the family for burial?"

Bloom asked a little puzzled, if the mercenaries sacrificed during the mission, the bodies of the deceased would be cremated, and the ashes would be brought back to their hometown for burial.

"It's not okay to bring back the ashes, Gracis is different from others, if it is someone close to him, he can prove the identity of the ashes, if it is a stranger who returns with the ashes, I am afraid that his relatives will not believe it at all. ”

Alan quickly figured out the problem, if it was really that simple, it is estimated that the Holy See would have arranged for someone to forge Gracis's ashes and give them to the Gracius family.

"Alas, I was the most suitable, and his family would not suspect it even if I brought back his ashes, but I really didn't have the strength to fly back to Higg, so I wanted to find some trustworthy humans and give them this task, and the reward was the treasure in this cave, and he could take it as he pleased. ”

There was a deep sadness in Userondia's sigh, how could he fly now that he couldn't even stand up.

"Gold and silver treasures are not important to us, and if you promise to give us a few dragon's tears, we will promise you to do us a favor. ”

Alan said.

"Wait. I don't think what Eren just said is clear enough, let me explain, treasure is not important to us, but it doesn't mean we don't want it, except for a few dragon's tears, it's not too much to ask for some treasure, right?"

Elvis gave Eren a look again and again, signaling him not to be stupid, the dragon's belongings are too wasteful to make a bed here, don't be in vain.

"Huh!"

Urserondia heard Elvis's words and laughed weakly twice:

"I've been in human society for nearly twenty years, but I don't think I know you completely. Hypocrisy, greed, cruelty, and cowardice are human nature, but I often see in you the character of integrity, selflessness, kindness, bravery, and even the noble qualities of self-sacrifice, loyalty to the country, indomitable and loyal, so I still don't understand why human beings are so complicated, but these make me extremely nostalgic. ”

Userondia's voice became smaller and quieter, and there was even a look of nostalgia on her face, as if she had returned to the years when she soared over human society with Gracis.

"Don't talk about us humans, in fact, your dragon clan is complex enough, and the despicable and shameless ones are even more powerful. ”

Elvis secretly scolded in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was another paragraph:

"Your Excellency the Dragon really has a lot of research on human beings, and you must know that no matter how upright, kind, and brave people are, they will not dislike their wealth too much, because only more wealth can better exert their strength, right?"

"Your Excellency, why do you say this, why do you make me feel like I am not a human being?"

"Don't worry, although I love money, but I take it in the right way, I never want ill-gotten gains, if you don't believe it, I can swear. ”

"The oath of the human is still forgotten, or the oath of the two elves next to it is more believable. ”

Userondia twitched his eyelids and glanced at Fresnel and Sergei, apparently hoping that the two elves would swear the oath.

The two elves can't call the shots themselves, so they can only set their eyes on Allen. Eren nodded at them, meaning that they could do as the dragon wanted, but they shook their heads again.

Under what circumstances, the Great Elder asked you to swear an oath without violating the principles of the elves, why not?

Alan was a little confused.

"We don't know how to swear. ”

Just when Alan was puzzled, Fresnel said with a wry expression.

"The supreme elven god, your devout believer Fresnel (Sergei) swears to you that we will escort the remains of the dragon knight Graces back to his homeland and personally deliver his remains to his family. ”

Eren understood that elves don't lie, and they don't need to swear at all, and they don't know how to swear, so he can only make up an oath and teach it to the two elves to recite in front of Userondia and his son.
