Chapter 22: The Fog Dragon
According to the notes of the ancestors. The monster is called the 'Fog Dragon'......"
Before Levin could finish speaking, everyone began to look embarrassed.
The monster didn't completely retreat, and after less than half a day, it suddenly appeared from the other side, and I don't know how much effort it took to go around in a big circle.
But the results are also clear. Four Black Iron mercenaries died on the spot, two were seriously injured and died, and seven or eight wounded were lying there snorting.
Although it cunningly left before the silver-tier mercenaries arrived, and seemed unsure of a hard-fought victory, a sneak attack was enough.
No Black Iron mercenary was willing to risk running into it and continued the search as if nothing happened, and even the Bronze mercenaries were wounded, and if they were unlucky, they could die.
Now, they have united against their employers, completely ignoring the possibility of a black account on their resumes, and they must save their lives first.
In short, if Levin didn't give an explanation, not only would they not advance, but they would even want to withdraw from the Misty Forest entirely.
Levin hurriedly announced that he was going to communicate with a few silver-level mercenaries to stabilize their emotions for the time being, but if there was no proper answer, he would definitely make trouble again.
Everyone crowded into a large tent, hoping to hear what Levin would come up with to encourage everyone's enthusiasm......
As a result, he uttered terrible words.
As soon as the word dragon appeared, everyone was taken aback.
Flying in the sky, its body cannot be touched by ordinary force at all, and it is capable of breathing fire and even casting magic.
Romin had seen a story from Liz that the area that had been infested by dragons was like dozens of bandits wreaking havoc together.
"Hey, don't be kidding, even the weakest white dragon has to mobilize a gold-level team, and make all kinds of preparations to challenge!"
The half-elf archer said unceremoniously: "The old lady is not enough for it to swallow in two mouthfuls, you are really delusional." ”
Levin smiled bitterly: "Of course I understand, if I am not sure, how can I come here in person? No matter how much money I make, I can't spend it when I die."
Calm down, listen to me, O Ancestor, I once ......"
As he spoke, he took out a leather-covered booklet from his bosom, pulled out a yellowed piece of paper and placed it in front of everyone.
"Huh?" everyone's eyes widened, and doubts came out of their mouths.
It depicts a monster from several different angles in a sketch-like manner, hideous and ferocious, but it seems a little strange...... In every way, it looks like an evil dragon, but it has no wings?
Written next to it was the following paragraph: "A strange mutant, let's call it the Fog Dragon, which, according to eyewitness accounts, did not grow wings. Judging from the footprints, the limbs seem to be more developed than those of ordinary dragons, but they are a little smaller......"
This kind of tone like a research report does seem to have some credibility, and if Levin himself wants to follow, it is impossible to rely on false information to deceive everyone into committing collective suicide.
"Hmm...... Indeed, if that guy could fly, it would be easier to attack us, and we would not need to sneak attack at all, just fly up and throw trees and rocks at us, we would only be beaten passively. ”
Hendrik recalled, and then said, "The terrible thing about a low-level dragon is that it can fly.
This fog dragon doesn't seem to have any other magical abilities other than spitting flames, and if it can't fly, it's just an ordinary magical beast.
Compared to the 'hard-beaked giant tortoise', it is not much stronger. If it doesn't run away, we're more than capable of killing it!"
Is it the scientific name of the snapping turtle or something? I don't care, he's right.
It only took some effort for so many people to kill the snapping turtle in the audience, and they didn't encounter much danger, so it should be no problem to deal with the fog dragon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the Ancestor hadn't overturned the plan, he would have advanced near the Fog Dragon's lair. If you can't find it here, you must have died near the Fog Dragon's lair.
Please forgive me for withholding it. Because I'm worried that many mercenaries will back down after hearing about the fog dragon......"
Although Levin said this, Gando said unceremoniously: "You are also lucky and want to save money, right?"
A dragon, even a flightless wurm, will increase in price if it appears in a mission. Except for Luo Ming, several people present seemed to have a lot of understanding of the employer's trick of concealing key information to lower the price, and they all glared at him.
"Okay, okay...... I'll pay an extra honorarium, 50 percent?"
"Twelve. ”
"You're a robbery! Everyone, be reasonable......" Levin cried, but it sounded a little fake.
"If it's in the mall, we can all sue you for fraud and send you to the judge to be dragged and hanged!"
"And we mercenaries are rough people, we only recognize money and death!"
The sound of banging the table rang out.
"W-okay, okay, okay!"
After some negotiations, Levin finally couldn't give up this mission and ran back halfway.
There is a lot of money invested in the early stage, and how many people are willing to decisively stop the loss? If they go back, they will be ridiculed for giving up halfway.
In the end, he promised twice the original reward, and would give additional bonuses to several silver-level mercenaries who participated in the attack on the fog dragon.
Of course, he wrote a harsh contract for this, and the silver-level mercenaries had one for each of them, and if he was ready to repay the debt, anyone could use this contract to send him to court, and all the property of the Chamber of Commerce would be confiscated.
Seeing that his eyes were a little red, like a gambler who was in a hurry to lose, expecting to increase his investment and finally turn the tables, everyone didn't dare to stimulate him anymore, but had to be a little kind to appease him.
After going out, several people told everyone the news.
Especially after saying the news that "our silver-level will go directly to kill the fog dragon", the mercenaries were a lot more relieved.
After all, it's a good condition to be paid twice as much without them taking too much risk directly. Some mercenaries even planned to call on everyone to squeeze out a little bit of their remuneration and put it together as a thank you to a few silver-level mercenaries.
Granty played a part in it, and although she refused to thank her, she was proud of doing it. Everyone else is pretty much the same.
However, if you say that you want to kill the fog dragon, you won't really be hot-headed, so you just run straight to work - it's not hunting, it's asking for hardship, and even if you can win, it will take a lot of effort.
Humans are more intelligent than beasts, but that includes targeted preparations.
