The old troll named 'Grivolta' crouched on the ground, his head bowed, holding the so-called treasure map in both hands, and presented it to Barret, "There are brave men who are destined to be remembered by the world and sung for generations. "They will overcome difficult and dangerous obstacles, eradicate terrible monsters and beasts, solve unknown puzzles and codes, and finally find those forgotten treasures." And this is also the arrangement of fate, the task given to them by fate. ”

It has to be said that this old troll is eloquent, but Barrett does not eat this set.

"Fate has arranged for me to spend 100 gold coins to sell a piece of parchment that I don't know what to call it?" the brute sneered, "such a fate is too stupid. ”

"It's true that the paper itself is not worth a single silver, but the contents on it are worth a fortune!" the old troll raised his head and talked with a calm expression, "Just like those famous paintings of the painter San Zio, although most of the canvases carrying those famous paintings are only worth a dozen copper coins, but the cheap canvases can be bought for hundreds of thousands of gold coins after being carefully outlined by San Zio with a paintbrush. ”

The old troll became more and more excited, "You know, at the height of Sanzio's life, he used his imagination and the details of the legend he collected to create a magnificent painting for the third king of the griffon kingdom called "Song of the Moon and Sun". The Griffon Kingdom had wanted to buy the painting from the Mage Eric who had collected it for 1.2 million gold coins and a whole ton of Mithril, but the Mage Eric did not agree to the deal. ”

Although this guy is a troll, he knows a lot about things in the human world, at least more than Barrett.

"What are you rambling about?" Barrett was a little impatient, he had never heard of these seemingly famous things and names, and the fact that he was being compared to a troll in terms of artistic literacy made the brute feel slightly embarrassed.

Hey, this is a troll.

Barrett Mungo was never proud of his ignorance of art or literature, but he was not alone, and few adventurers were interested in it. They hovered on the verge of life and death all year round, and those beautiful words and pictures could not soothe the hearts of the frightened, only wine and women were their happiness.

"Do you think I'm a newcomer to this business, get out of front of me and lie to the others, or I'll be rude to you. The brute drew half of his sword and whispered a threat with a grim face.

Should I find some time to listen to a few operas in the opera house I pass by, so that I can cultivate my feelings?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" the old troll lowered his posture, "It's not a deception, I can vouch for my life, this treasure map is absolutely genuine." And, according to legend, there is also a magical item called the 'Incredible Extraordinary Stone' inside the treasure. This item binds your soul to the main material plane, and no matter where you die, your soul will return directly to the main physical plane, and will remain for a short period of time, rather than dissipating in an instant. ”

Barrett shook his head, "No matter what you say, there's no way I'm going to spend 100 gold on such a thing." "Unless I'm an idiot," well, stop talking nonsense, if I count to 'three' and you haven't disappeared from me, I'll absolutely pull both of your fangs out of your mouth and stuff them in your ass, and I do what I say. One!"

"Fifty gold coins, can't I give you a discount? I've actually been observing you here for a long time, and I know that you are definitely a powerful elite adventurer, and you can definitely find the ultimate treasure and earn thousands, ten thousand times more rewards. What's more, this money is nothing to you, and it's good to just buy a dream. ”

"Two"

"Ten gold coins, as long as ten gold coins, I will send another piece of gossip that you will definitely be interested in, this gossip alone is worth the price!"

......

Pushing open the inconspicuous door of the Adventurer's Guild, Barrett stepped inside.

The façade of the ordinary tavern outside the guild is in stark contrast to the shocking grandeur and grandeur of the interior. Every time Barrett entered it, he would involuntarily be in a trance for a while.

The spacious hall is lined with hundreds of metal quest bars, and thousands of quests hang from them, ready for wandering adventurers to browse and select.

The types of missions are quite varied, and the difficulty and rewards can vary from high to low. Some tasks have been lying on the taskboard for years and no one is willing to take them, while others have been hanging up for less than a minute before many people are arguing and scrambling.

Choosing a task is not a simple task, you need to understand your true strength, and according to the actual situation, among this large number of tasks, choose the most suitable ones for you.

This may sound like a no-brainer, but not all adventurers can resist the temptation to pay highly. Because, "greed" is the essence of the profession of adventurer that can never be erased. Under the constant teasing of those heart-warming numbers on the mission, many people can't help but think that they have the strength to cut the dragon under the sword.

Although the adventurer's guild in the city-state of Muya only has one layer, because it is in the half-plane, it is much larger than the three layers of Galano combined. And because of the towering statues around them, the adventurers here are quiet most of the time, and even the quarrels are carried out in a low voice.

Our barbarian adventurers take a leisurely stroll through the questbar. It's a pretty good feeling, this is the world he knows, and this piece of parchment is the "art" he knows. Like the best critics, he is able to comment on the insightful parchment of each task, and read the implications of the long and short introductions above.

- Cecil, the Apothecary, needs someone who can bring him the venom from the desert scorpion's tail. This venom is not lethal, but it is extremely paralyzing, and has a very strange property: once the giant scorpion dies, or the venom is exposed to air, it immediately loses all effects. So Cecil, the apothecary, wanted the mission-taker to get the giant scorpion to inject venom into his body, and then come back and have him refine the venom from the carrier's blood.

"Only a madman would take on such a task. Barrett muttered to herself. He glanced at the release date of the mission, four months ago, it seemed that everyone was still very sensible about the mission to such an absurdity.

- Venn Mage has added some new combat features to his Golem, and for that purpose, he needs several, or a dozen testers, to put the Golem's new combat features through a careful test (not one person is responsible for this task). In addition, Venn can guarantee that the entire test process will be completely fatal, and that the injured will be paid for all medical expenses in addition to the mission reward. It is worth mentioning that Venn will also have the test subject sit on the "shoulder" of the golem and walk around the test site.

Barrett looked at the task pay, which was quite generous, but he had no intention of taking it at all. The combat power of those Constructed Body Golems was terrifying enough, and he couldn't understand why the mages were repeatedly strengthening them.

- Master Tailor Erica needs thirteen full skins of the Crystal Scale Lizard in order to raise her tailor rank to the Grandmaster level in the Craftsman's Guild. In addition to the reward of 20 gold coins, Erica will also tailor a special set of exclusive leather armor for the completion of the task at no cost. Of course, the materials have to be produced by the task completer.

And on the parchment of the mission, the location of the Crystal Scale Lizard that is needed is also told - there are many of them in the abandoned crystal mines of 'Crystal Glory Town'.

The difficulty of this quest is that you need to find the crystal-scaled lizard in the mine, kill it without destroying its skin, and peel it off completely. None of this is too difficult for Barrit, who is so proficient at skinning that even dragonskins can go up and try his skills.

Well, that's good! Barrett touched his chin and thought about it in his mind, then removed the parchment from the taskbar, took it in his hand and looked at it again.

The mission was released three days ago, so it's not too new, and maybe it's because it's in an abandoned mine that leads underground, so people ignored it.

Barrett didn't care about that, he had already been to the Underworld once, and knew a lot of lesser-known things there, so he didn't have anything to fear. Moreover, he knew that as long as he didn't go too deep, there would definitely be no big problems. What's more, not every abandoned mine will have a crack or passage that leads to the Dark Realm, which is extremely unlikely.

After finding the task registrant to take the task, Barrett glanced at the [Mission Log] again. 50 soul energy doesn't pay much, but it's okay. What's more, this task also has a chance for the Grandmaster Tailor (if the promotion is successful), which Barrett still values.

The set of cooked cowhide leather armor on his body was not custom-made, and compared with the petrified cowhide armor, it was really inferior in terms of beauty, defense, and wearing comfort.

After taking this task, Barrett took out the map again, glanced at the location of 'Crystal Town', as well as the surrounding villages and towns along the way, and then continued to search for it in the quest bar.

The [Mission Log] who has not been upgraded can take on 5 missions at a time, but the task of his bust statue has been delayed and not completed, so he can only take 4 new tasks at present.

Of course, it was enough, and Barrett never filled it all. In general, it is enough to complete two or three tasks on a single trip.

People always need to rest and adjust.
