Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mercenary Mission
The death of Governor Douglas's second son still brought a lot of trouble to Niu Dali's mercenary team, and during the ten or so days of travel from an unknown town to Goa City, the mercenary team would be checked once or twice a day by different armies and sheriffs.

The official forces of the entire province of Goa, like a hornet that has been stabbed in a honeycomb, are staring at all suspicious people, as long as they are armed pedestrians, they cannot escape their interrogation.
In addition, according to the gossip that the mouthy thief Anita heard from somewhere, the local mercenary guild put out a very tempting bounty, and the bounty of 100,000 coins for capturing the murderer of the second son was 100,000, and after providing valid information to confirm, you can also get a bounty of 10,000 coins.
Under such a heavy reward, the mercenaries and underworld of Goa Province were all dispatched like sharks smelling fishy, and Niu Dali found that as long as there were a few thieves and rat-eyed thugs in a slightly densely populated place, they were watching all suspicious people.
It's just that this thing was not done by Niu Dali at all, and besides, this small mercenary team that Niu Dali was among them, after being targeted at by the gangsters a few times, completely lost any motivation to keep an eye on it, because the senior sheriff According to the analysis of the scene, the murderer is definitely a master above the fifteenth level.
Once again, after stuffing a few silver coins into the sheriff with a group of farmers in front of him, the captain Ade's money bag, which was not very plump, was now shriveled, and after walking away, the mercenary captain Ade wailed: "Oh my God, the price of this mission was not very good, and now even the old capital has been lost." ”
Niu, who was thinking about how to let the mercenaries stay in Goa City for a few more days so that he could go to the Governor's Palace to steal things, strongly proposed: "Why don't we try our luck in Goa City and see if we can take on a mission to make money." “
Captain Ade tilted his head and looked at the empty money bag in his hand, and accepted the suggestion.
After the mercenary squad, which now totaled eight at the city gate, paid a total of one silver coin to enter the city, Niu Dali walked into the seat of the Governor's Mansion of Douglas, the provincial capital of Goa, which claimed to have a permanent population of 200,000.
Niu Dali calculated the income generated by the huge population, and the Douglas family could collect an astronomical amount every year just for entering the city, not to mention that a large number of high-quality industries in the city belonged to the Douglas family.
"This is the noble, the nobles of the Orc Empire can't even compare to the landlords here!" the old cow thought sourly in his heart.
The talkative thief made up another knife on the side: "The nobles of the Roland Empire are quite good, and the nobles of many countries have the right to collect passing caravans, and one percent of the goods are used as taxes, which is called excessive." ”
"I'm not one of many countries because of Mao?"
Ade took the mercenaries to find a small hotel in the middle of nowhere, opened three of the cheapest rooms, ordered the least expensive black bread, filled his stomach with water, and led everyone towards the mercenary guild in Goa City.
The Mercenary Guild in Goa City is home to an imposing stone four-story building, and its ground floor is a very vast hall where hundreds of mercenaries in armor and weapons guard a huge bulletin board to pick up tasks.
Niu vigorously relied on brute force, led everyone to squeeze a way, and came to the bulletin board, the highest and most eye-catching place on the bulletin board, resolutely hanging the task of offering a bounty to catch the murderer of the second son of the governor, and behind the bounty was a long string of people who were dizzy.
Looking down at the rewards of the task, Niu Dali pointed to one and read: "Collect an adult dragon tooth, it is required to be in good condition, the task amount is 120,000 gold coins, and the mercenary points are 2,000 points." ”
"Don't look at those useless. Ade started to look up directly from the inconspicuous bottom, and at the same time popularized science for Niu Dali: "Except for some collection tasks, there are no restrictions, and general tasks will have mercenary group level requirements, our team only has an E-level level, and the tasks above have nothing to do with us." ”
Sure enough, Niu Dali looked at it carefully, even if some of the tasks in the middle of the billboard require B-level mercenary groups, count the heads from A to E with a straight finger, and then add the A-level and above S and SS levels, this mercenary team is really weak enough, if it weren't for the wrong identity, the old cow would have taken out the dragon teeth in the space ring, and let them upgrade several levels first.
"It's a good task, and it's paid for three gold coins. Niu vigorously pointed to a task below and shouted.
Ade looked over, this task is not bad, the Governor's Mansion needs to go to the Wild Wolf Mountain thirty miles west of the city to collect a kind of flowers called tarantula flowers to decorate the room, this kind of flowers are of no use except for being beautiful, but there are several large wolves in the Wild Wolf Mountain, it will be more dangerous for ordinary people to go, and the Governor's Mansion will not send personnel to guard this little thing, so the steward of the Governor's Mansion will lose this task to the Mercenary Guild.
Niu Dali, who was worried that he had no chance to sneak into the Governor's Palace, felt that it was really a good task that fell from the sky, and under his strong recommendation, Ade walked to the counter, and after paying the last gold coin as a deposit, he won the task.
Ade, who was not in the mood to continue wandering around the city, hurried out of the city with his mercenary team and rushed in the direction of Wolf Mountain.
As he was leaving the city, Niu Dali staggered past a caravan, a large caravan of about three hundred men and guards combined, and the cart full of carriages did not know what it contained, leaving deep wheel marks on the ground at the city gate.
In a carriage in the middle of the caravan, Niu Dali saw two familiar backs, the owners of the backs were two middle-aged stout men, and the tanned skin on their faces was very rough from the sun.
They are now dressed as caravan chariot guys, wearing big straw hats on their heads, and they look honest when they lower their heads to drive the car, but Niu Dali is very sure in his heart, the two mysterious people who kidnapped the second son of the governor some time ago, forced him to ask for the news, and then killed him are definitely the two of them.
After walking a distance, a smile appeared on the corner of Niu Dali's mouth, and there were more and more people who came to the Governor's Mansion to make trouble, and it became more and more interesting.
There were no twists and turns in the task of collecting tarantula flowers, because a wolf pack of more than a hundred wild wolves was easily scattered by Niu Dali alone, and the relatively sour wolf meat was also eaten a lot by the mercenary team who had not eaten meat for a few days.
Before the city gate was closed, Niu Dali and the others finally rushed back in time, avoiding the happiness of sleeping in the wilderness, and everything was ready, so they would have a good investigation when they went to the governor's palace tomorrow to hand in the task.
