Chapter 108: Escort Mission
"There it is! Take this task! ”
Lin Xian poked his head and saw that it turned out to be an escort mission that only adventurers above level 3 could take!
Mission Description: Baron Sobos, Lord of Widton, died in an accident during a hunt three months ago, leaving only Baroness Sandra and his eight-year-old son, Edward Sobos!
In order to succeed to the title, little Sobs needs to arrive in the capital city of Nasri within six months to accept the king's canonization! However, both expeditions failed due to accidents or attacks by bandits, but because of the losses caused by the failure of the first two operations, there was an extreme shortage of guards!
Now, the Sobos family has issued an escort mission to the Adventurers' Guild, with three thousand gold coins as a reward, hire five to six adventurers above level three, and escort Baroness Sandra and little Sobers to the capital Nasri within three months!
After Lin Xian read the mission introduction, he felt a little strange in his heart, and asked Paris, "Who has this Baron Sobers offended?" First he died unexpectedly, and then his son had an accident on the way to inherit the title, and he encountered a group of thieves! Looks like someone is going to kill them all......"
Paris glanced at Lin Xian, it seemed a little strange that Lin Xian's IQ was higher than he imagined, and he could see that he was tired from the simple mission introduction, so he patiently explained: "Baron Sobers didn't offend anyone, but who made him a greedy lord......
Listening to Paris's step-by-step explanation, Lin Xian knew the reason for the incident. It turned out that Baron Sobos's ancestors followed the ancestors of Count Mayo, the lord of Farah City. At the beginning, human countries jointly attacked the Elven Empire, and the city of Wilton was actually a frontline border area.
After the collapse of the Elven Empire, Count Mayo's ancestors were awarded the title of Earl for their military exploits, and the fief was Farah City, the capital of the northwest province of the entire Navi Kingdom! And Sobers, who was an officer under Count Mayo, was also made a baron for his military exploits, and his territory was the small town of Wiyton!
In the beginning, the city of Wilton was unremarkable. The area is small and the population is not large! Although it is close to the Aldi Forest, due to the inconvenient transportation, the specialties of the Aldi Forest cannot be transported! Although Baron Sobeth's family was noble, life was very tight.
But the opening of the Fana Grand Canal, which connects the city of Farah to Nasri, 30 years ago, changed all that!
In order to transport the output of the Northwest Province smoothly and to be able to rule the region more effectively, the Kingdom of Navi spent twenty years to build thousands of kilometers of the Fana Grand Canal, and the water of the Grand Canal is formed by the convergence of several rivers, the most important of which is the river next to the city of Widun!
The opening of the Grand Canal of Fana has made the transportation of the city of Widden more convenient, and the town has become extremely prosperous day by day! In just 30 years, it has developed from a small town with a population of only a few thousand to a real city with a permanent population of tens of thousands, and a floating population of 100,000 at the most!
It's summer, the off-season for trading in Aldi Forest specialties. If there is a late autumn season, the peak season of specialty trading comes here, more than 100,000 people gather here, at that time the street is full of people coming and going, and the cargo ships on the river flow endlessly like a carp crossing the river, so you can really see the prosperity and vitality of the city of Weiton!
The prosperity of Wiyton brought a lot of income to the Baron de Sobos family, and it also attracted the attention of greedy wolves!
Count Mayo, the lord of Farah City, was once the direct boss of Baron Sobeth's ancestors, and is now also the direct lord of the Baron, so he has always been finger-pointing at the Baron's domain. About ten years ago, it was proposed to exchange a larger piece of land with the Sobos family for territory!
But the land is far from the river, the transportation is very inconvenient, and the land is barren and has no output! So the old Baron Sobers directly refused! In recent years, the city of Wilton has become more and more prosperous, and Count Mayo finally can't take it anymore......
Because according to the laws of the Kingdom of Navan, Count Mayo, as the direct lord of Baron Sobers, although he cannot directly issue orders to the barony, but when the direct heir of the baronial family is cut off, he can act as an agent for the barony's domain! After ten years, if the Baron's heir cannot be found, the city of Wilton will be directly incorporated into the Earl's domain!
"So, wasn't old Baron Sobers killed unexpectedly? The accident on the road of Little Sobs and the attack of the bandit were also man-made? After listening to Paris's explanation, Lin Xian finally understood the truth of the matter!
"Of course, I even suspect that the thieves are pretending to be the regular army under the earl!" Although Paris said that she was skeptical, she looked at her expression and was very sure!
Lin Xian suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "But this task requires five to six adventurers above level three, and there are only two of us?" ”
"Of course I thought of that, you all come in......," Paris suddenly shouted out the door.
It's the test trio, of course!
"Hah! Exactly five people! That's enough people to take on the task...... "Paris said happily.
So, the five decided to take over the task of the Sobos family. But Paris is a moth again! "This is a team task that the five of us have taken over, how will the reward of the three thousand gold coins be divided?"
Lin Xian heard her say that the task had not yet been taken, so he thought about how to divide the money, what is the difference between this and brothers fighting for geese? So he said with a lot of amusement: "Of course, who contributes the most to the group task and has the most money!" ”
Paris's head shook like a rattle, and she objected loudly, "No! In case when the time comes, you say that you have contributed a lot, and I say that I have contributed a lot, wouldn't it be a mess? It's best to be sure now, and then you can score well! ”
Lin Xian saw her with a serious expression, so he proposed another distribution plan. "Then the five of them will divide it equally, and each person will have six hundred gold coins!"
"No, isn't that a big pot of rice? What if someone is paddling and can't do their job? Paris continued to object.
"Then how do you divide it!"
Paris waited for a long time, and finally waited for this sentence. The azure pupils turned around a few times and said, "I think the money should be divided according to the level of the adventurer, the higher level will take more, and the lower level will take less!" ”
Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly, what is the difference between this special and a big pot of rice? But he said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”
The five people took out the adventurer's identity card, and as expected, Lin Xian was the lowest! The trio are all level 4 adventurers, and Paris's adventurer level is as high as level 5!
Paris walked and counted with her fingers, "The level of the five people is a total of twenty, and three thousand gold coins divided by twenty is equal to ......."
"One hundred and fifty gold coins!" Lin Xian saw how hard she was calculating and reminded on the side.
"That's right, it's one hundred and fifty gold coins! After completing the mission, you can divide one hundred and fifty gold coins! I didn't expect so much......" Paris announced loudly.
“……”
Your math teacher taught you, right?
Lin Xian hurriedly grabbed her and said loudly: "The average first-level score is one hundred and fifty gold coins, but I am a third-level adventurer, so I should be divided into four hundred and fifty gold coins!" ”
Paris looked at Lin Xian suspiciously, with an expression of [I'm not good at math, don't lie to me]! Finally, after carefully calculating for a long time, he said bitterly: "It turns out that it is really four hundred and fifty gold coins!" How can there be so many? Forget it, I'll give you 400 gold coins! ”
“……”
Rounding? Isn't it right to give me five hundred gold coins......
The second more is sent, and I continue to ask for support......
