When Jiebao was born, he was called "Gray Stone Eye" by his clan because his left eye was gray-green. Because of his extraordinary wisdom and physique far beyond his peers since he was a child, Jiebao always felt that he was very different from the people around him. And in fact, it was indeed the case, until one year when he met his mentor Xiumilton, an elven mage, that he completely understood that he had the destiny to become a mage.

Jiebao was taken by Xiumilton to the famous Red Moon School of Magic in the Evert Federation to learn about magic, and the vast knowledge of the magical world quickly overwhelmed the little dwarf's heart.

After 30 years of study, Jiebao officially became a mage, and his mentor Xiumilton had a long talk with him that day

"Jiebao, congratulations, you have finally become a mage!"

"Teacher, I, I'm so excited! Thank you for teaching over the years......"

"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do." Xiumilton paused for a moment and continued: "You know that there is a fee for studying in the academy, although you have excellent grades and won many scholarships in the past 30 years, but compared to your tuition, test fees, material fees, accommodation fees, equipment use fees, library reading fees, meal fees, etc., it is really insignificant......

"Huh?" After listening to the teacher's words, Jiebao's jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise.

"Look at this bill." Shomilton handed over a 700-page breakdown of the cost of training for magicians

Jiebao stammered: "This, this, so much money?!"

"Yes, it's a total of 17,900 gold coins, and this is a 4% discount for you because of me, otherwise, it will be more." Shomilton added.

Jie Bao didn't know that becoming a mage would cost so much. Of course, after entering the school, he knew this. But the little dwarf, who is optimistic by nature, does not have any worries about his future, anyway, the problem of money has not yet arrived, so what is there to worry about? However, he now has to fight against his huge debt.

In this way, in order to repay the huge tuition fees owed at the college, Jiebao began his adventure. "You can only get rich quick by taking risks!" Jiebao often thinks viciously in private, "If I die, I don't have to pay it back, it's not bad!"

After a few years of adventure, Jabber has improved his abilities and made new friends, such as the dwarven warrior Oscar.

After successfully helping – or bluffing – the dwarven warrior Oscar to run away from home and go on an adventure, the two become adventurous companions.

The two dwarves are still very compatible with each other, because they are equally naïve – or rather, stupid.

"The two of us were born to take risks! Cheers to our friendship!"

"Brother, you are the most drinkable and powerful dwarf I have ever seen! Cheers!" Gnomes, this kind of little man is notoriously small in strength, with the exception of Jiebao.

"You're the prettiest dwarf I've ever seen, too! Cheers!" Dwarves generally have beautiful beards, with the exception of Oscar.

And every time the two of them completed the task and received the bounty, it was a drinking battle between the dwarves and the gnomes

"Hey, today I'm going to let you know that fighting with dwarves is like ants challenging dragons!" This may be true, but in fact the dwarves just love to drink, and they can also think of it as their drunken gibberish.

"Don't be wordy, you know that the twenty-two mottos of the Red Moon Academy all say&a;a; ap; ap; lt; It is forbidden to fight with gnomes&a;a; ap; ap; gt; What?"

It was another post-mission revelry, and just as the two people were shouting at each other, suddenly a sad lyre sound came: "Spring is coming, but I can't see it, the wheat is yellow, but I can't go back, we don't want to be heroic people, because behind this empty word, there are burning villages, and women's tears, barren farmland, and men's blood." ”

"Oscar, look how lucky we are! I heard the work of the famous Heck Dreamweaver here!" Jiebao said excitedly, patting the dwarf's beard vigorously.

"Hmph, you want to take the opportunity to pour out the wine again, right? Jiebao! The dwarf said impatiently, but was also attracted by the singing, and looked to the side of the bar.

I saw an elf playing the lyre and singing, and at this time Jiebao had already jumped off the stool and ran towards the elf. "Hey, I said, this tall friend, you can sing the works of the poets I admire the most, I want to treat you to a drink!" Jiebao enthusiastically wanted to pat the other party's shoulder, but because of his figure, he didn't get it. But he didn't care, and continued, "Heck Dreamweaver is a friend of mine, and he came to visit me at our college, and I spent a whole day discussing poetry with him!"

The elf smiled and said, "Oh, it looks like you should know him well?"

"Of course! Usher! Hurry up, two glasses of ale! I'm going to have a drink with this elf friend!" Jie Bao urged the usher, and at the same time found a chair and stood up, "By the way, my name is Jie Bao, what is your name?" Elf friends. ”

"My name is Heck Dreamweaver," the elf still kept his friendly smile......

……

As the first rays of the morning sun shone into the small temple of Wildfire, a peculiar group of adventurers appeared at the entrance of the town, tall and short, fat and thin, some well-dressed, some dirty, some clothed in cloth robes, some like moving humanoid war fortresses. The only thing in common is that all three adventurers have a smile on their faces, Oscar is passionate, Heck is elegant, and Jabel is cunning.

"This is the place where you said there is a great treasure buried?" The dwarf looked skeptical, and asked Jiebao, "Such a poor and remote town...... Oh? The human girls here are quite beautiful and young. The dwarf was interrupted by a burst of maiden screams.

Heck also saw a group of young girls standing outside the fence just next to the town square, huddled together, as if they were watching something.

"Hey, are such a bunch of chicks around there watching tricks?" Jiebao took the opportunity to change the topic, "Let's go over and have a look!"

The three of them walked over and saw that next to a small temple with only a fence as a wall, a young man was exercising against the morning glow, the young man's expression was solemn and serious, every swing of the sword was extremely concise and powerful, and the long sword in his book reflected bursts of light in the sunlight.

"These girls have never seen the world!" Oscar complained unceremoniously: "These few strokes he made are just ordinary morning exercises......

"You know, art is equal though." Elf Heck obviously has a different opinion, he commented: "But the medium of art is fundamentally different."

"Hey, Heck, what are you talking about?" The dwarf didn't hear what Heck meant, and thought that the tall and thin guy was going against him, and asked loudly.

"He's saying that this group of girls is a nymphomaniac, and even if that teenager is standing there stupidly basking in the sun, there are still so many girls coming to watch." Jie Bao explained while chatting with the girl next to him: "This young man looks very handsome, who is he?"

The girl replied without replying: "He is a holy warrior who only recently came to the temple, he is really too handsome."

"Becoming a holy warrior at such a young age, it seems that the future is limitless." Jiebao continued: "And what is his name?"

"Alinge! It's Alinge! The girl called out his name and continued, "Master Alinge is only 19 years old this year, and I heard from the priest in the temple that he has come here to spread the teachings of Fran, the god of light. ”

"Hmm, a promising young genius has come to such a poor place" Jiebao touched his fat double chin and analyzed in his heart: "Aha, this guy shouldn't have offended people or annoyed people, so he was sent here, right?"

Night, in the tavern

"Heck, that young paladin, have you investigated any new circumstances?"

"Hmm, what else do you think there is any news in a temple that is no different from a normal farmhouse?" Heck said sarcastically, "An old priest and a young paladin...... Sometimes I'm really worried that the fenced temple wall will be torn down by girls......"

"Hey, when it comes to the news, I do have one." Oscar pretended to be mysterious and said, "Make sure none of you know!"

"Oh? Let's talk about it, the last few days have been too calm and boring. Jiebao's appetite was hung up

"I was at the edge of the forest early yesterday morning and found a druid!" Rubbing his beard, Oscar said, "You know what that means? I'm sure something is going to happen in this town! Vouch for my dwarven instincts!"

After taking a sip of wine, Heck said slowly, "You mean that Lurick?" I don't think anything is going to happen if there's a druid around here. ”

"Well, Oscar, your news is important!" Jie Bao stood in his chair, waving his wine glass, and said, "Since the last time I used magical dwarf alchemy to help Alinge tattoo his holy emblem into a wooden shield, he was obviously happy! You know, it's a lot more windy than his wooden emblem!"

"Ha, you really have your Jiebao, but you're right, many paladins will tattoo their emblems on their armor or shields." Oscar raised his glass and touched Jabbel

"Jiebao, it's been almost a week since you've been in this peaceful town, and now you can always tell us why we're here, right?" Heck asked very concernedly

"Uh, uh, actually, I stumbled upon a treasure map that says there's a treasure around here." Jiebao said a little weakly: "However, after I really got here, I realized that maybe the treasure map was ...... It's a fake......"

At noon today, the bold dwarves invited everyone who had just formed an adventuring party to drink in the tavern in Wildfire Town. To show his enthusiasm, he spent a whole gold coin on a treat!

The dwarven warrior Oscar, the dwarf mage Jiebao, the elf druid Lurek, and the human holy warrior Alinge, a total of four people, were sitting around a table at the moment, and the food and wine had not yet come up. There was no one at the table they were, and it was clear that it was a tavern that served adventurers, and most of them were still outside at noon. The elven poet Heck wasn't here, and the Dreamweaver had left alone this morning, not knowing what he was doing.

But Heck's absence didn't discourage the rest of the people in the slightest. They came to the tavern happily and prepared for a good noon.

Oscar raised the empty ale glass and said boldly, "If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" ”

Jiebao laughed and said, "Ha, with such a little wine, it seems that we can't tell the winner today!" Oscar. ”

Oscar was stunned for a moment, quietly looked at the waist bag with only 9 gold coins, and didn't dare to say anything more.

There are some notices hanging in the tavern, and there are usually tasks posted on them. It's just that at this time, there are no more tasks for them to take over, and it is empty.

Oscar whispered to the dwarf, "If you don't make some money, tomorrow's wine money will be worrying...... Damn, there's not even a mission notice, what kind of broken town is this! ”

"Hehe, the lack of notices also shows that the security here has been good recently, at least much better than when I came." Alinge didn't feel bad at all.

"Don't worry." "Gold will never abandon an alchemist...... Hahahaha! ”

"Master Jiebao is really a master of gold and silver!" Alinge admired Jabel's boastfulness. Obviously, the emblem that Jabpo had enchanted on his shield had pleased the young paladin.

While they were chatting, a waiter approached and took the crowd's food.

Oscar didn't give the food a second glance and shouted, "Bartender! The best wine, hurry up! ”

The bartender answered, hurriedly brought good wine, and said enthusiastically, "Come, dear dwarf, I hope you have a good drink!" ”

Druid Lurick, who wasn't too interested in alcohol, picked up a pork chop on the table and bent down to feed it to his animal companion, a hound named Toto.

While they were chatting and drinking, Jie Bao saw a man walking from outside the tavern. It looks like he is wearing a very decent outfit, which does not match the surrounding environment. However, it is also obvious that this gentleman will not come to drink in the tavern where such adventurers gather. He glanced disdainfully at the crowd, walked over to the billboard, put a sign on it, and then turned to leave. Alinge had been in the town called 'Wildfire' for a while, and he could tell that the man seemed to be some kind of bureaucrat in the town, not a high official position, but he usually liked to put on a show, and many people in the town hated this guy.

After the man left, Jiebao curiously went over to look at the notice. Oscar, on the other hand, didn't have much interest in this, just glanced at it, and continued to persuade the drinkers, "Drink quickly, don't care about others!"

When Jiebao read the announcement clearly, he shouted "Hey, Oscar, come here." ”

"What?" Hearing Jiebao's call, Oscar leaned over.

"Look, there seems to be a new mission."

Lurick and Alinge both sat at the table, eating their food and looking curiously at the gnome, but did not get up and squeeze in.

Jiebao touched his fat chin and said, "It seems to be a wanted warrant." ”

"Is it an official announcement?" Alinge, who was sitting motionless at the table, asked.

"It seems so." Jiebao nodded.

"What kind of mission is it?" Alinge asked again.

Jiebao simply read out the contents of the wanted notice: "Abslin, the tax official of Wildfire Town, is now wanted because of the collusion between officials and businessmen to corrupt the Mexican tax." After escaping the pursuit, he absconded into the dark jungle outside the town. If you can bring him back, you will be rewarded with 500 gold coins, whether you live or die. ”

In Oscar's mind, quests equals gold, and gold equals wine. He looked at the prisoner, who was about the same as fine wine, stroked his dirty beard and said, "It looks very valuable." ”

"Aha, I'll just say that gold coins won't abandon a dwarf alchemist!"

Oscar said: "This has something to do with your bottle-and-can-can experiments!" It's time for my sword to speak! ”

Compared to these two people, the paladin Alinge was more concerned about this task. He groaned softly, "Wanted? So he got up and walked slowly to check. The hateful holy warrior can't stand this kind of thing the most. Looking at his appearance, thinking about it, he must have wanted to get involved.

The druid scratched his nose, "Sounds like he's guilty of a big sin." "He didn't look particularly interested in the task.

Alinge was different, and the paladin said indignantly, "The greed for ink taxes is indeed hateful, and this money could have been used where it should have been. ”

Lurick pursed his lips and said, "So we're going to take care of this?" ”

The dwarf nodded, and said with a little excitement, "It's really suitable for me to catch a criminal!" ”

Alinge persuaded, "Let's try it, I won't deduct your money if the mission fails anyway, will I?" Anyway, I'd love to get this ink-hungry tax collector back! ”

Lurick shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's up to you." Then he bent down to tease the puppy in a dish-spirited manner, and paid no more attention to the matter.

Oscar has always been united with Jiebao, he said, "Let's go after dinner?" But we also have to look for clues first. ”

Jiebao agreed, "That's right, then let's finish this meal quickly, and then get ready to go!" I can't wait to go on an adventure, that's five hundred gold! ”

However, when they were happily discussing this capture mission, they didn't notice that there were several adventurers who had not received the mission like them before, and had been idle for a long time, and had a very tight hand. It's just that after they saw the task, they all had a vague expression and shook their heads, and no one took over the task.
