Chapter 89 Assessment Tasks I
However, Alan soon remembered another troublesome thing, although Captain Hardic was long-winded, as long as he avoided a little bit and didn't take the initiative to start a topic to give him a chance to play, there was still a solution, but there was one thing that was almost unsolvable, and that was drinking.
Mercenaries love to drink is something that everyone knows, almost all bars on the mainland can see mercenaries, and Allen's mercenary team is no exception, last night's incident has made him deeply experienced, but the road ahead is still very long, almost everywhere in the future, drinking will be a vicious battle for Allen, he doesn't want to get up every morning to be this painful look like today, but how can this problem be solved? It's obviously not a way to dodge, it's okay to hide for a day or two, and you will definitely be recognized and even laughed at every day, which is a small matter, if it affects the follow-up cooperation, it will be serious to ruin your reputation in the adventure world, so don't take this risk, is there any way to drink and not get drunk?
Alan rubbed his head that was still a little painful, racking his brains to think, suddenly Alan looked at the water cup on the table and his eyes lit up, he recited a magic spell to the water cup, this is a simple water polo technique in water magic, although Alan is not good at water magic, but a simple water polo technique can still be done, and soon a ball of water balloon rose from the cup, Alan looked at the water ball floating at the mouth of the cup, and said in his heart: Maybe this is a way.
It's better to act than to act, Alan immediately went out and called the guy in the hotel and asked him to send two glasses of rum to his room, the guy saw that Alan looked like he was not sober, and now he wanted to drink again, not only frowned, but he didn't say anything and went to prepare the drink according to Allen's instructions.
The guy quickly sent the rum to the room, and Alan repeated his old trick, and the expected water balloon floated in the mouth of the glass again, Alan kept the water balloon floating, and then looked inside the cup, and found that there was less than half a cup of dark yellow liquid left in the cup, which should be a more concentrated rum stock. He repeated the spell a few more times, carefully adjusting the cast speed and control accuracy, and in the end, the wine in the wine glass did not seem to change, but through Allen's control, it was actually layered. Alan picked up the wine glass and drank half a glass in one gulp, the faint taste of white water, Alan couldn't help laughing, according to this practice, you can take revenge tonight.
In the afternoon, Sterling and the others returned, and Alan, who was meditating, heard the familiar voice outside, so he stopped meditating and walked out.
In the courtyard, Captain Havech was communicating with Sterling and a few people, and when he saw Alan coming out, he immediately called Alan over to surprise him. Alan was guessing what the surprise was, and Sterling had already taken something resembling soft armor from his package.
"Alan, try it to see if it fits, this is a good thing, it took us more than two hours and several stores to find it. Sterling shook the soft armor in his hand at Allen, which seemed to have something like a nail leaf on it.
Only then did Alan react that this was the soft armor that the mercenary team bought for his self-defense, so he hurriedly took it.
Although the soft armor is heavy, but it is not as heavy as imagined, Alan looked at it, the lining of the soft armor is a thin layer of animal skin, the animal skin is decorated with armor pieces of different sizes, there is no metal texture from the touch, more like the scales of some kind of animal, the armor is connected to the lining through some metal filaments, although the workmanship is not fine, but the fixing effect is very good.
"What kind of material is this armor?" asked Allen, stroking the armor with curiosity.
"That's why it's hard to find. This is not an ordinary metal armor, although the metal armor is hard enough, but its heavy weight is for strong warriors, it is best for a weak magician like you to use this natural scale armor, the defense is not weaker than the iron armor, and it is not much heavier than a coat on the body, but the price will be more expensive. Captain Hackitch suddenly said.
"Big Brother Sterling, this can't be a pangolin scale, is it?" Seeing Captain Havech take over, Alan quickly shifted the subject of questioning.
"It's not a pangolin, the scales of a pangolin can also be made into a carapace, but it's much smaller than this, and this is the scale of a python. This soft armor is also called python scale armor. ”
"Thank you, Big Brother Sterling!" Alan said as he tried to put on soft armor.
"Don't be polite to me, if you want to thank you, thank you Captain, he paid for the money. ”
"Don't be polite to me, yesterday thanks to Allen's blessing, I won a lot of money, all of which should be thanked. Oh, by the way, Sterling, where's the horse you bought for Allen?"
"Tomorrow morning, we'll be here before we go. Sterling said this with a look on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and several others also had strange expressions.
"Alan, I remember that in the morning you asked me about our mission, I haven't finished telling you yet, it happens that there is still a little time before dinner, go, come to my room, let me continue to tell you. Captain Hacky suddenly greeted Allen warmly.
"Captain, I suddenly felt a little sick in my stomach and needed to solve it. Alan didn't wait for Captain Havech to speak, clutched his stomach and turned to run.
Sterling and the others looked at Alan's embarrassed back, and thought: The little guy has learned the captain's long-winded magic skills so quickly?
At dinner time, Allen, Captain Havech and the other four team members went to the Adventurer's House Bar again, still sitting at yesterday's table, Captain Hackitch ran to the bar and talked to the waitress, asking her to arrange drinks, barbecue and snacks as soon as possible.
Alan took the opportunity to ask about the content of Sterling's mission.
"A village called Daige, a county in the northwestern part of the empire, has recently brought disaster to the local population by a few uninvited guests, who inhabit the mountains and forests behind the village during the day, and run to the town's dwellings at night, killing and eating their hard-earned livestock and poultry. The local residents invited the hunters into the mountains to prepare to eliminate the uninvited guests, but several waves of hunters either disappeared or escaped for their lives, and were seriously injured. From the injured hunters, the villagers learned that it was not an ordinary beast that attacked their livestock, but a magical beast - the wind wolf. ”
"The Wind Wolf is an ordinary low-level Demonic Beast, and even a low-level Demonic Beast is more difficult to deal with than an ordinary Beast.
In addition to having a stronger body, sharper claws and sharper teeth than ordinary wolves, they can also instantly use wind blade magic, and the powerful wind blade can instantly split tree trunks, crack rocks, and even easily divide an ordinary person's body into two sections, so ordinary hunters are absolutely unable to deal with wind wolves, only to invite mercenaries or the army, it is obviously impossible to invite the army, so as soon as the villagers negotiated, everyone pooled fifty gold coins, and released this task in the mercenary union, which happened to be caught up by us. ”
