Chapter 458: Goodbye Waterfall (1)
At this time, it was close to evening. The setting sun casts an orange glow on the walls of the inn, turning the frosty white into a soft, warm color.
Ziyan briefly explained the situation of the task in a calm tone. When Qiu Yang heard this, his expression was a little worried, and he said, "The villagers are migrating, which means that the strength of their guards is insufficient, and those fishmen who are not stupid will soon understand this." They are most likely to attack the villagers halfway. Alas, we can't help it, we can only hope for the blessing of the dragon. ”
Leng Huo suddenly interjected, "It's not too late. ”
Qiuyang was stunned for a moment, and then understood. He glanced at the sunset at the window and said, "The Mercenary Guild should not be closed at this time, we will go and return the task immediately." In this way, the mercenary guild will immediately issue a mission to exterminate the fishmen, hoping that this will help them a little. Saying that, Qiu Yang looked at the cold fire and purple smoke apologetically, "Originally, you have worked hard all the way, you should have a good rest, but the situation is urgent, I can only ask you to be considerate!"
Ziyan suddenly looked dissatisfied, "We are a team, brothers and sisters. Captain, when you say this kind of thing, you don't treat me and Leng Huo as your own people, can I understand this?"
Qiuyang immediately raised his hand in surrender.
Seeing this, Tie Dun and Mogen sneered, while Haigen sat upright, not knowing what was going on. Looking at all this, a trace of warmth rose in Leng Huo's heart.
This kind of fraternal warmth is exactly what Leng Huo longs for and fears.
The Mercenary Guild belongs to the direct subordinate of the Bright Sect, and only the shamans of the Bright Sect use divine magic to connect the information of the entire continent together to form a network covering all the territories of the Bright Camp.
It can be said that without the magic of the shamans, the mercenary union can only be a regional organization, and it will not be able to form a climate. In this way, there would be no way to organize thousands of mercenaries, let alone provide enough soldiers for the defense line of the gods.
Besides, only the Holy See of Light can have the wealth and enough gold to support the operation of the mercenary union. You know, there are a lot of quests that are posted by the mercenary guild, and then it pays for it itself.
The union hall occupies a very large area, and because the windows are small and only used for ventilation, there is a great lack of daylight. In order to compensate for the shortcomings, all the pillars are hung with wind lamps to illuminate the huge hall.
The hall was in good order. Whether it's picking up or handing over a mission, there's a long queue. There were no guards in the huge hall, but there were no brave men who dared to make trouble here.
Because, to cause trouble here means to provoke the Holy See of Light, to provoke the Dragon of Light. And the one who directly provoked the Dragon of Light can still survive is unique on the mainland.
The receptionist of the mercenary guild is not a young and beautiful girl, but a powerful professional. Leng Huo judged that the man sitting in front of him with a face full of vicissitudes was at least a master of the Sword Sect level.
This is normal, because only these battle-hardened warriors can tell if the mercenaries who returned the mission were lying when describing the battle. As for the young and beautiful little girls, what can they understand?
In the face of the inquiry, Leng Huo handed over the skull and honestly told the process, and even the existence of the beautiful jawed dragon 'Domi' was not hidden.
After hearing this, the Sword Sect's expression immediately changed slightly, and the matter was adjusted to the three-star level with extremely high danger, after all, this matter involved the survival of thousands of villagers.
Soon, a quest was added to the display board above the Mercenary Guild Hall. The mission is written in vermilion font, indicating that this is the most urgent task.
Mission: Collect the skulls of the Fishmen
Description: There is an evil tribe of fishmen in the crypt near the village of Mengxi who hunt villagers for food. The Fish-Man Tribe numbered about 3,000 and should have Fish-Man Guardians and be able to summon Abyss Guardians to descend. This task is a teamwork task and can be picked up by multiple teams. Ordinary Fishman heads can be exchanged for 20 Silver Coins in the Guild, 3 Gold Coins for the Fishman Guard's Head, and 110 Gold Coins for the Abyss Guardian Head.
At a rough conclusion, the gold coins after completing the task are not much, but this is only the gold coins provided by the guild. Everything you get from the quest process can be exchanged for money.
For example, the Abyss Guardian is an abyssal species created by the Abyss Dragon, and its materials can be sold for a good price from the Alchemist. For example, those fish-man tribes themselves may also have some treasures, and those are all harvests.
All in all, the mercenaries added blood to their knives, and while eliminating demons and defending the Dao, they also improved their own strength. As for the monetary gains, they both value them and they don't value them.
Paying attention to harvest is to obtain better equipment, whether it is the replacement and maintenance of weapons or horses, it takes a lot of money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.
The reason for not paying attention to harvest is that most mercenaries do not aim to make a fortune. If you want to get rich, you have to be a businessman. Their goal is to explode into vindictiveness and become a real powerhouse.
Of course, the threshold for mercenaries is extremely low, and the good and bad are uneven. There are also many mercenaries who join this profession to earn gold coins and look for opportunities to become retainers of the nobles, so that they can try their hand at the life of a superior person.
When Leng Huo and the others left together, they were rewarded with ten gold coins. This is because the difficulty of the task is obviously too high, and the reward of the four gold coins that was set earlier is a bit inappropriate.
Regarding the disappearance of the villagers of Mengxi Village, the Holy See of Light needs to post thousands of gold coins to deal with it. That's why the Light Shaman's healing costs are so high, but the mercenaries don't complain. That money, not all of it was spent on the shamans themselves, but was returned to ordinary people.
After leaving the mercenary union, the interest of Qiuyang and the others was obviously much higher. Although their team's assets are seriously insufficient, three wind spiders are about to be acquired, and this is the biggest joy. This can greatly enhance the strength of the squad, which means that the chances of survival in the event of danger in the future are greatly improved.
After turning a few street corners and squeezing through the surging crowds, they arrived at their destination, the Alchemy Building of the Waterfall Master.
On the side of the building, the emerald green flags are still flying in the cold wind, and the hunting sounds. Yellow gourds flickered between the banners. It's business as usual!
The doors of the building, although open, are not many guests. When Qiuyang and the others came in, there was only one noble lady in a white palace dress in the huge hall.
The other party has already purchased the goods and left. The cargo was a mechanical puppet with the ability to execute simple commands, just like the puppet at the gate.
Qiuyang and the others got out of the way and let the woman pass first.
