Chapter 418: The Source
Due to the urgency of time, Lu Li did not return to the team station to meet with his teammates, but went straight to the Adventurer's Guild, which was located in the center of the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It may be because many mid- and low-level adventurers have set off for the border fortress of the northern Lund Kingdom, so the number of people seems to be much smaller, and the lively hall on the first floor is less than one-third of the original, which looks very deserted.
After all, the hunting moon is only once a year, not only is the reward quite rich, but under the impact of the beast tide's rage, it can exercise a person's willpower to the greatest extent, and the beasts killed can also be sold to merchants, which is simply a lot of money, and the income is much higher than entering the dungeon to hunt monsters.
The only drawback is that the distance is too long, counting the stay time of almost two and a half months, many adventurers regard this mission as a life adventure next year to save money.
In addition to adventurers, the Hunting Moon is also a feast for merchants, with at least a million animals emerging from the depths of the forest in as little as seven days or as long as half a month.
The flesh of these slain beasts can be made into long-preserved jerky, sausages, and skins can be processed into sturdy leather armor or thick fur coats, which are shipped around the world for sale.
Even the remaining bones will be dried and ground into powder, which will be used as additives for certain livestock feed and fertilizer for the land......
As for the Lund Kingdom, the trade tax alone can count the cramps of the hands and feet, not to mention the thriving economy brought about by the merchants employing a large number of local laborers.
To sum it up in one sentence, the Hunting Moon has become a good thing that is profitable for everyone except the beast that is killed.
"Huh, Watcher, are you here to find Elder Renard?" Mina, who happened to be passing by, found Lu Li who was looking around, and took the initiative to come over and ask.
I don't know if it's Kempella who has had some strange fashion trend recently, this rabbit girl actually tied a bow at the top of her two long ears, as long as her head shook slightly, she would immediately sway from side to side, making people subconsciously divert their attention.
Lu Li forced himself not to stare at the other party's ears, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and nodded: "That's right! Where is Elder Renard? ”
Mina smiled and spread her hands: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to have to run for nothing." Not long ago, Elder Renard had traveled to the Bethel Empire on his own initiative, intending to warn the ambitious Emperor that he would not be able to return until at least a month or two later. If you have anything to tell me, I'll see if I can help you find other elders. ”
"No, damn it!, why is it at this time!" Lu Li frowned and muttered quietly, then took out a Desert King's egg from his jacket pocket. "Mina, do you know anyone in the city who can make a material similar to the surface of this egg?"
"The Desert King's eggs?" the rabbit girl explained in a low voice with wide eyes and a hint of surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why it doesn't disappear with the death of the lord is mainly because the lord will crawl to the ground and eat a magical plant called the black dragon's blood tree an hour before the nest lays eggs, and the sap contained in this plant is the main component of the egg membrane, which can effectively isolate the diffusion of all magical energy. ”
"Black dragon's blood tree, so I'll just go to the tenth floor and dig up a few of these plants?" Lu Li, who had received an important clue, was overjoyed and grabbed the rabbit girl's hand tightly.
He couldn't believe that he had found a replacement, or rather a source, so easily.
Mina smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, no, the sap flowing from the black dragon's blood tree is too rich, and when exposed to the air for a few seconds, it will combine with the air and condense into a solid hard mass, even if it is smashed with a hammer, it will not shatter." As far as I know, there is only one person in Kempera who has the technology to store and use it. ”
"Who is this person?" Lu Li asked with narrowed eyes.
"Argora, a merchant and rookie alchemist who often makes money-losing business, you can find him in the worst inn in Xicheng District. Mina gave the answer without even thinking about it.
Lu Li thanked him, turned around and rushed out of the guild gate, and quickly started the car.
Seeing him in a hurry, the rabbit girl hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice: "Hey, Watcher, I haven't finished my words yet! Algora was already in debt half a year ago, and now he may be starving to death!"
It's a pity that the noise of the car engine covered everything, Lu Li didn't hear this sentence, and hurriedly disappeared at the end of the road, and in about six or seven minutes, he found the worst hotel in Xicheng District.
The reason why it is said that it is rotten is not that the house is very dilapidated, on the contrary, the wooden house on the second floor is very beautifully built, and the windows are spotlessly clean.
It was rated as the worst hotel because the service was so poor that anyone who had no problem with their brains would not choose to stay here.
It is said that the innkeeper was once a top adventurer who was extremely fond of pranksters, and after retiring he opened the inn with his savings, not to make money, but to see the angry and twisted reactions of the guests.
Later successors follow the wishes of their ancestors and continue to follow the previous style until the wealth left by their ancestors is spent.
I have to say, this is really quite funny, because it doesn't need to make a profit, so you don't have to worry about anything, and over time it has become what it is now.
As soon as he pushed open the door of this inn, Lu Li heard a deafening roar in his ears.
"The hotel is free!Three meals are taken care of by yourself!The store never provides any service! Remember to clean the room yourself! Otherwise, I will on your bed!"
Picking at his left ear, which was a little tinnitus, he glanced at the bearded dwarf standing next to him, holding a bronze horn, resisted the urge to beat the other party, took a deep breath and said, "I'm not here to stay in the hotel, I'm here to find someone." Please tell me which room Algora lives in?"
"I'm sorry, we don't answer any questions, you can go to the second floor and knock on the door from room to room. As he spoke, the dwarf dug out a disgusting booger from his nostrils and slammed it into the air.
I saw this booger cross a high parabola and go straight to the direction where Lu Li was standing. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been hit 100 percent.
"Damn!" Lu Li glared at the other party in disgust, and walked up the stairs without saying a word.
Although he had known all the legends about this inn for a long time, and even regarded it as a joke for a while, he realized it after experiencing it himself today, it was simply disgusting.
If it weren't for the guild's heavy penalty for destroying buildings, the inn would have been demolished by angry adventurers......
