Chapter Ninety-Eight

The docks are in good order during the day, but at night they become lawless. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Claudius's pseudonym is a simple and casual Hank, and it is really unwise to expose his glorious name as soon as he sets foot on the shore. Now Claudius sat in the lobby of the tavern's part-time inn, eating a crude steak meal while drinking ale and listening to the conversations of the others. Claudius' wealth would have allowed him to stay in such a place for a long time, and in exchange for the most luxurious inn in the city, he had the coins he had for up to ten days......

Generally, this kind of place is also a part-time place to post tasks, and many tasks that can't be put on the table will be hung up in this type of inn tavern, which is basically posted by the guests who live in the inn and the nearby residents. Claudius, on the other hand, now looked at the chalk chalk on the chalkboard of his long and massive acquisitions of all sorts of things outside the city—such as ores, bodily tissues containing magical creatures, and even things as tattered as goblin equipment..... The red dragon is going to make some money from this, at least he should be able to earn his accommodation fees, and if he gets something valuable, he can also try to step into the higher-level society to find out the whereabouts of the silver dragon. As far as Claudius's knowledge of the silver dragon and the golden dragon is concerned, it is impossible for these guys to be homeless people with no money, at least the middle class is the minimum camouflage of these metal dragons. And judging from the few encounters Illia Lazar, Claudius has reason to believe that she is definitely a rich man - the dragon slayer sword is not a steel sword that is rotten on the street, and this thing is casually from five figures of gold coins.

However, there are indeed places to make money outside this city, there are monsters everywhere in the Vortex Mountains, as well as legendary ruins, magic materials and metal mines, and the coastal road passes through the mountains, and there are many robbers on the road, and of course, the bounties in the towns along the way are also valid for a long time. The tall and strong Claudius looks like a typical barbarian warrior, or a relatively rare Northland berserker type, and such barbarians are rare in the south. So not long after this guy sat here to eat, someone came up and accosted him. It was a halfling who came up and gave Claudius a glass of ale, and then began to introduce himself: "Hey, brother! You're so strong! You must be a fighter who can fight! Right, yes? My name is Klimov, you see......" The familiar guy pointed with his thumb to the men and women at the other table behind him, "We're together, we're going to go to the Vortex Mountains to find some pocket money, how about it, do you want to come with us?" ”

The halfling had a sunny smile and seemed to be a good person. Claudius looked at the men and women at the table, and saw that there were five people in the group plus the halflings, and among them was a paladin in full armor, which from the coat of arms should be the paladin of the sun god. And there is also a young mage wearing a mage robe, Claudius sees that this guy doesn't have much magic aura, eighty percent is those poor new mage, and it is already great to be able to put a two-ring spell. The halfling must have been a thief, while a man with a bow and arrow and a dagger was theoretically a ranger, and the last one was a female priest wearing a pendant on her robes that also proved that she was a follower of the sun god. "Now with me, a barbarian samurai, it seems that no matter what, at least the kitchen knife team should be formed..... The holy warrior can resist and fight milk, this priest seems to be a professional nurse, and the mage is basically a scumbag, and he can control the field when he is in the sky, so don't think about the output. As for the ranger, output is his only value, but in terms of his equipment, it seems that he is a long-range second-rate kitchen knife, and the halfling thief is forgotten, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he can't even play backstabbing well, that is, stealth in the distance to throw a flying knife. But it doesn't matter, because of me! Claudius thought for a moment, and then the guy's palm slapped lightly on the table, "Okay, I'll join the gang." By the way, my name is Hank. The red dragon habitually kept his greatsword in his hand, because it was a bit high-end to feel the weapon directly from his trouser belt - not something that an adventurer of this grade in a tavern should have, with the possible exception of the paladin.

In fact, this halfling thief named Klimov, the paladin, and the ranger still have some eyesight, otherwise there are so many adventurers sitting at the table drinking and eating meat in the tavern, how would they find Claudius? It was because not only did Claudius look like a high-ranking barbarian with muscles, but most importantly, the metallic sheen of the two-handed sword in his hand. Claudius's weapons don't have scabbards, so this two-handed sword is placed on the table like this, and the light it reflects is slightly blue, and the sharp eyesight of the halfling man certainly sees this, he basically judges that this barbarian's two-handed sword is mostly mixed with pure gold, such a sword has already surpassed the entire net worth of their squad, and the guy who can wield such a weapon is by no means a rookie warrior, and such a local tyrant must definitely be pulled into the team as soon as possible.

Claudius ate all the meat, walked to the table across from him with his wine, and then introduced himself to the entire team, except for the halfling Klimov. The paladin named Tasman was on the tour with the priest Miss Marat, and the ranger was called Black Panther, whose real name is unknown, and the mage was called Link, but he also did not say his rank. The Tasman Paladins do have a mission on hand, but it's not a mission from this tavern, it's a long-term and effective mission from the local town hall to clean up the undead and underground creatures in the mines of the Vortex Mountains outside the city.

Due to its proximity to the Vortex Mountains, the mining industry is one of the pillars of the economy, but the miners seem to have dug into a terrible place lately, and the entire pit area is constantly spawning undead and monsters in the dark regions. Many miners have already been killed, and mining operations have had to be stopped - miners refuse to go down the hole. For this reason, the city has put up a long-term bounty, which is to remove the monsters and undead in the mines. This kind of thing has always been the favorite of the holy warriors, and the professional counterparts of the holy warriors who fight the evil undead, especially the sun god, and the effect of using positive energy to kill those bones is not too good. Claudius doesn't matter, anyway, even if a vampire or a mummy appears, these high-level undead creatures are still scum, unless there is a lich or a necromantic dragon, then it may have an impact on Claudius's human form, otherwise they are all useless. Activities and activities to get some income by the way, Claudius is willing to do such a thing.

After replenishing dry food and clean fresh water, the prepared adventure party set off for the mine. Since both the paladin and the mage have storage space bags, although it is the most high-end goods, it also avoids the whole team carrying a large bag. Of course, according to the mage's usual urine nature, he has always refused to let go of supplies for anyone other than himself. Claudius naturally had storage bags, but as a newcomer to the team, his trust was limited, so the team only distributed some food and fresh water, as well as sleeping bags and ropes for him to carry. But Claudius didn't mind, anyway, for him, even if there was no dry food, then the animals caught on the road could be eaten, and he had no psychological burden.

The city is about thirty kilometers from the mines, and the caves in the Vortex Mountains are also home to small towns of miners and the people who serve them, and some of the ore is brought into the city and some is smelted into metal on the spot. There are many adventurers in the town, basically all of them go to destroy the undead and underground monsters, of course, Tasman has seen several paladins - the mobility of ordinary people in Faeron is not very strong, and the same is true for low-level professionals, so these paladins know each other. Soon they came to an agreement that the adventuring party would enter the mine together and carry out the mission of overtaking the undead.
