Chapter 22: The Mine Mission
"Although we dwarves don't know magic, I also know that learning and practicing magic is a very difficult thing, and there are very few people who have the talent for magic. I heard that in Grecia, the number of magicians has always been very scarce, those magicians with high magic power have always been the objects of key protection in various countries, living an elegant and noble life, and they will not even appear in front of people easily, how can there be such a situation where there is no money to spend in such a noble and powerful profession......" Seeing Linya's puzzled look, the dwarf girl quickly explained with a red face.
It makes sense. "It's a pity that this is Abella......" Linya could only shrug her shoulders, endless resentment but didn't know how to say it......
"If you really need money, Miss Human, I know there's a well-paid bounty quest in the Mercenaries Guild that requires a mage. I think your spells are really good, maybe you can try them?" the dwarf girl thought for a moment and said.
Linya's eyes lit up when she heard it, ah, there are still good people. Why do I suddenly have a feeling that the quality of people in this world has a lot to do with what they look like? "Thank you then, little sister. By the way, please stop calling me by the title of Miss Human, my name is Linya, you can call me Sister Linya!"
The dwarf girl's eyes became a little weird, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Uh...... My name is Marcle. But...... Miss Linya, I'm afraid I can't call you sister. ”
"Why?"
"Because...... If you were to count on the age of a human being, I would definitely be your grandmother. ”
"......Porphyry" Linya, who was drinking juice, squirted all over the table in one gulp.
On the way to the Mercenary Guild, Linya kept a straight face and looked very unhappy, as if someone owed her money. In fact, she was just sulking at herself. It's really unhappy.,I thought I finally met a little girl who was younger than me.,And it's so cute.,You can hug and make love in your arms - you know,The role of this little girl has always been played by herself.,Alice.、Namia、Suzanne or something.,And Cyryl don't talk about it.,She likes to bully herself the most.。 So when she met Marclele today, the thought of wanting to be a sister again suddenly became strong and completely unstoppable.
But as a result, reality once again deeply hit the poor little princess's fragile heart. Sixty-year-old Marcle, almost didn't make Linya choke in one breath, it is really enough age to be Linya's grandmother!
Simply vomiting blood. Human life is the shortest of all known intelligent races, and some elves are said to live four hundred years, dwarves three hundred, and orcs two hundred, but they are obviously much more than a hundred years old for humans. Of course, the vast majority of human beings do not live to be 100 years old, and it is very good to live to be 70 or 80 years old, and generally only 50 or 60 years old. The three hundred years old of a dwarf is only the theoretical maximum age, but the sixty-year-old Markel can indeed only be regarded as a minor Lori in the dwarf society. But for Linya, who is a human being, this granny-level little Lori obviously can't let her bully.
Could it be that his fate is destined to be that eternal little sister, who is hugged, kissed, and molested like a doll by all kinds of beautiful sisters? This is not fair! It's all that damn stinky god! But there are so many unfair things in this world, no matter how much you complain, there is no need to complain. Along the way, all the way to resentment.
The mercenary guild is located in a large house in the east of the city, and the venue is still very spacious, and there are quite a few people coming and going, including a lot of humans. Susanna's appearance is not too noticeable, there are still a lot of humans here, let alone a warrior. It's just that when Makriel said the purpose of this trip, the mercenary guild leader's eyes suddenly fell on Linya and couldn't stop.
The president stared at Linya for a long, long time. A man of his age would be a baby to a dwarf. Can you really expect a baby to be magical? Even if the human species matured early......
"Is there a problem?" "Are you sure she's really going to be a magician?" the guild asked Marcleel, a tone of apparent distrust.
"Of course, this is what I just saw with my own eyes, and it only took a few minutes for Kim Hawk's team of mercenaries to be taken down by her alone. If you don't believe me, you can go to the tavern and ask now. Miss Linya uses the magic lightning of the light system, which is exactly what is needed for this task. Elder, you know better than I do that it's not so easy to meet a magician in Arbela, and even harder to meet a magician who has no money to spend and just needs something to do, and a magician who knows light magic and just doesn't have the money to find something to do—are you sure this isn't something Maeve sent to help you out?" Marckelle tried to convince.
"The target of this mission is a group of living dead people who don't feel pain, don't fear, don't run away, and eat blood, they don't get killed that easily, and I don't want to see a few little girls like you die in vain. The president continued to shake his head.
Hearing this, Linya couldn't help but laugh. "A small character of the level of a zombie is even worth your fear?" Linya really couldn't hide her deliberately contemptuous laugh and said, "Also, you listen to Miss Ben Magician, don't look down on women!" As she said this, the white ball of light energy in her right hand had gradually brightened into people's eyes, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore.
"Magician...... She's really a magician......"
Clearing the Living Dead in the Copper Cave in Reese, Total Reward: Ten Arbella Coins.
About three months ago, some villages outside Reese Town were suddenly attacked by unknown monsters at night, and after investigation, it was found that it was a group of living dead people who had escaped from the copper mines, they hid from the sun in the mines during the day, and at night they would run out and wander around, preying on the living, and even wandered outside the walls of Reese Town some time ago. Ordinary people who are bitten or scratched by these living dead will eventually turn into new zombies in agony, and the number of victims has reached hundreds. The town garrison had nothing to do with the undead, and these terrifying monsters terrified the town of Reese and its vicinity, so the mayor and the merchants joined forces to ask the mercenary guild to find someone to destroy these monsters.
However, due to the seldom chance of finding the legendary mage in Arbela, and the damage caused by ordinary weapons had no noticeable effect on these undead, the two mercenary teams that had previously accepted this mission escaped with heavy casualties after storming the copper mine, only to fail. As a result, this quest has been on the guild's bounty list, and the reward has increased from the original five gold coins to the current ten gold coins. And for the Mercenary Guild, it is really a shame that it has not been able to complete this task.
"It's just giving money!" Linya finally relieved the last trace of worry in her heart now, she had seen a lot of undead or something, this little problem was too simple. With just a few more of these tasks, she'll be able to scrape together enough money to get home, and then she'll be able to leave the super boring Abella Dwarven realm as soon as possible. She just wants to get home early!
Marclell rented a carriage and drove east along the road, arriving at Reese Town just before dark. The gates of the town were closed as early as dusk, and the streets were crowded with villagers sleeping on the streets who had fled from nearby villages.
As soon as it got dark, the world outside the city walls was already too quiet. Soon after, a hoarse roar was heard in the distance, and the crowd became frightened again. Then slowly, a staggering figure slowly walked out of the night. They appeared. Fortunately, these unintelligent guys don't know how to climb the city walls, but the soldiers on the walls are still nervously on guard, after all, these guys can eat people.
The mayor of Reece Town was also unhappy with the arrival of a group of little girls like Linya, but when Linya casually threw a fireball to blow up the heads of the zombies under the city walls, they quickly shut their mouths in amusement.
In the end, the result of Linya's deliberation was to wait until the next morning before leaving. After all, it is still safe inside the city walls, and if those walking corpses are wandering outside, it is not easy to find and remove them all. When the dawn of the day all returned to the mine, Linya would destroy them all in one go, saving trouble, time and effort.
Early the next morning, the young girl expedition led by the dwarven Lori musketeer Makriel soon arrived at the copper mine in the northern hills of Rees Town, guided by the magic map, and it is said that many miners were buried in the cave due to a landslide, and the first group of living dead were resurrected by these dead miners.
Suzanne held a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, and Marclele walked at the end with a musket, protecting Linya in the middle as she walked into the mine. The adventure and battle of the beautiful girl expedition group have officially begun.
――
――But the story doesn't seem to be new.,Collect the fire elemental energy generated by the burning of the torch.,Combined with a large number of gold elements in this mine.,Formed a light arrow made of light magic.,When you encounter these slow-response zombies, you throw them over.,When the light energy meets the dead creatures.,Immediately have some kind of violent reaction that I don't know if it's chemical.、Physical.,Or magic.。 After the magic explosion, OK, fall down, fall again...... In the end, the fight, which was completely unrequited, seemed to turn into a repetitive form of manual labor, which made Linya feel bored.
