Chapter Eighty-Seven: Wine Talk
Generally speaking, high-level adventurers will never accept low-level adventurers as their friends, let alone take them on adventures deep in dangerous dungeons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
On the one hand, due to the limited ability of low-level adventurers, it is easy to drag down the whole team, and on the other hand, the depths of the dungeon are too terrifying, and the slightest carelessness will throw away their lives, and once low-level adventurers encounter unexpected situations, the mortality rate is as high as 99%.
It is for a variety of reasons that many conventions have been formed in Kempera's long history, and there are also hierarchical circles.
Among them, ordinary commoners are one level, merchants from the north and south are the second level, foreign nobles and scholars are the third level, and adventurers are the fourth level.
Among the adventurers, it is also subdivided into three levels, wearing the bronze badge is one level, wearing the silver badge is another level, and the gold badge is the third level, and on top of this there are also the Mithril badge and the Adamantite badge......
It is said that only those who rush to the fiftieth floor are eligible to wear the Mithril Badge!
As for the Adamantite Badge, in the entire history, only Zeus, the commander of Zeus's legion, received this qualification!
But Lu Li's arrival broke all this!
Precise timekeeping tools, scarce steel, spirits over 50 proof, and a large number of medicines, condiments, cane sugar, detergents......
With the abundance of resources and productivity on the planet, he quickly became the city's most sought-after merchant, not only maintaining good relations with the top three legions, but also gaining the recognition of the guild as one of the very few tax-exempt merchants in Kempera with privileges.
Although Lu Li's adventurer level is still very low, he can provide many top adventurers with what they want, especially the high-temperature resistant tungsten steel, which has aroused the great interest of Dandy, the leader of the Golden Libra Legion, and has repeatedly asked for a large order, but he has only sold less than 700 kilograms, and he has always hung the other party's appetite.
According to Rudolph of the Giant's Hand, when Golden Libra entered the forty-fifth floor, he encountered a powerful fire monster, because many team members' armor and weapons could not withstand the scorching heat emitted by the lord, so that seven consecutive attempts failed, and they were looking for high-temperature resistant metal, tungsten steel, which can withstand a thousand degrees of heat, naturally became their inevitable target.
In a way, Lu Li was no longer the explorer who had just passed through the bronze gate, full of tension and vigilance, but a unique businessman with huge and scarce resources.
It is this special identity that gives him the courage to face those high-ranking big people with a relatively equal identity, and even some of them have been out of the category of human beings, and can be called monsters.
But for the natives, his attitude of breaking the strict hierarchy can be described as incredible.
Just as everyone was changing their boots and drinking rum and Coke, they were arguing fiercely about where Lu Li's hometown was, when Elder Renard suddenly emerged from a tent not far away.
He looked left and right, and saw that someone was drinking, so he immediately went straight to the front, and without saying a word, snatched Will's cup, threw up his head and poured a hundred and fifty milliliters of liquor into his stomach, and whispered, "Damn! I'm fed up with all the preparations, and it would be nice if I could be as straightforward as I used to be an adventurer." Also, this wine is good, give me another glass. β
"Hahahaha! I've said before that you're not fit to be a guild elder! Look at your contemporary, Cam, who has returned to his hometown to be canonized by the king, and has become an earl, eating and drinking every day, enjoying the service of his servants. But what about you? Not only do you have to deal with all kinds of troubles caused by adventurers, but you also have to come forward to solve major crises yourself, and I believe that those copywriting jobs must be a headache for you, right?"
Will said as he picked up the bottle and filled it for the old man, his tone full of schadenfreude.
There is no doubt that the two not only know each other, but also have a very good relationship, otherwise it would never be possible to joke in this tone.
"Alasβsomeone has to take over the guild's affairs, otherwise they're all as irresponsible as Cam, and the whole of Kempera doesn't know what to do. And my headache is not the copywriting, but tomorrow's arrangement, this time the new lord is a bit unusual, so far we haven't found out what it looks like, what its ability is, where it is hidden, and a single error of judgment will cause tens of thousands of dead and wounded. β
Renard took the cup and drank it again, a sad look on his old face.
He was never afraid of any powerful opponent, but he was afraid that his decisions would lead to the death of countless adventurers for no reason.
The last time something like this happened, more than 30,000 adventurers had died, and when he thought of it, his heart was extremely heavy.
Will sighed, filled the old man's cup with wine again, and comforted him with a wry smile: "Don't think too much, adventurers are not a peaceful profession, from the beginning of this road, you must be prepared to face danger and death." We are the guardians of the entire continent, guaranteeing that those who live on this land will never be threatened by monsters. β
Hearing this, Renard smiled: "Hehe, I really didn't expect the power of the giant Will to be able to say such philosophical words, I thought you would only use your fists to solve the problem." You know? I've received more than 600 complaints from the Artisan District this month, don't you think you need to explain?"
"Hey, hey, it was all an accident! I'm a little out of control when my brain is hot, and I also paid compensation afterwards, didn't I?" explained Will, pretending to be honest.
But from his cunning eyes, you can see that this guy is simply making excuses.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched fiercely, and secretly sighed that people in other worlds are not idiots, but they have learned a unique technique similar to "intermittent psychosis" to evade responsibility.
"I don't care if it's unexpected or not, if there are so many people complaining about you next month, then I'm going to have to take some punitive measures, so I'll do it myself. Renard glanced at the strong man beside him and warned meaningfully.
Will shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "No problem! Anyway, I now have a stable source of steel, and I don't have to compete with those pesky peers for ore anymore, as long as they don't mess with me, I don't bother to deal with them." β
Seeing that the other party looked like he didn't eat firewood, rice, oil and salt, Renard sneered and persuaded: "You, still the same as before, you don't even want to eat a little loss." Remember, if you want to regain your ancestors' place in the blacksmith trade, you have to keep your temper in check, or you'll be isolated sooner or later. β
