Chapter 20 Emergency Preparedness

The smile on the face of the high-level elven wizard was like a frozen lake in winter. He is not joking, but sincerely happy about the results that the action will lead to.

The slender and sharp saber was cold, and Griffith was shrouded in real killing intent, and his brain was almost blank. In the face of terrible and real danger, he had only one thought left and acted on it immediately.

He's not kidding, he can't afford to lose face at this time.

"Galadia, help!"

Griffith shouted.

What a shame it was to cry for help. Griffith felt that something very important was shattered in this cry for help, and Sidious's face was filled with contempt and scorn for a moment.

"Sidious, if you dare to move again, I will strangle you. ”

A clear and agile voice sounded from his side, saving the frightened and ashamed Griffith from his fear.

Galadia didn't know when she woke up, staring viciously at her brother who was holding the blade.

Sidious retracted his breath and threw Griffith, who was panting heavily, out. He looked at the little bastard who might kidnap his sister, then at the divine weapon in his hand, and walked away without saying a word.

"What did he say to you?" the elf girl came to Griffith's side and sat with him on the grass.

Griffith opened his mouth, not sure where to start......

"Don't look at him like this, in fact, he is quite grateful to you!" said Galadia seriously, "and let him go to the barracks to say hello and deter the bad guys." ”

"Really, really?"

"Of course, if it weren't for you this time, his lovely sister would be more than lucky. ”

......

"That's how it happened. ”

Griffith completed a lengthy, substantial debriefing, withholding many details about Galadia's trial and many details about the Black Domain of the Seal, emphasizing that the High Wizard Sidious had helped him at the end of the Seal, before delivering the simple report to General Valens.

Dressed in the glittering chain mail of Canaan, he stood in the midst of a dangerous mammoth of intrigue, his mood exceptionally calm.

Sidious stood aside, staring indifferently at a room of humans.

There were seven or eight officers and nobles in the small tent, stacked with stacks of case files and maps. The general quietly flipped through the midshipman's report, and the staff and officers around him stared silently at their noses and the tips of their shoes.

What were they thinking?, Griffith thought without moving. Are you wondering why this second-level squad leader didn't die? How to explain to the big people who sent him? Do you want to give me merit points and other rewards according to the system, or do you call a halberd to kill me?

Hmph, you've missed the perfect time to kill me. Now that I have Sidious under my protection, as soon as I return to Sonya, the House of La Mor will immediately investigate the whole incident.

Galadia and Sonia will cover me, and it is impossible to send me to the death mission anytime soon.

As long as you get through this stage, General Varence, whether you know the conspiracy behind it or not, I will come to you. I'll write you down in a notebook later.

The general was silent for a minute, then looked up with a smile.

"You're doing well, young man, well,

"It's a very dangerous task, but it's also very rewarding, and you deserve to be commended.

"Now, go to the Quartermaster and claim your mission reward. ”

......

After successively destroying the mountain monster, the blood baron, the quaxol aberration, and the eyeball monster that appeared in Heura, Griffith's officially registered Sequence 7 level powerful extraordinary creature results have reached four. The results of the battle between Captain Kalius of the Witcher and the necromantic Conix naturally cannot be said and cannot be counted in the results.

Galadia verified the fifth result of his Earth Dragon Remnant Extraordinary trait, and the ownership remained with Griffith.

The quartermaster checked the extraordinary traits on the spot, registered the kills, sealed the letter with fire paint, and handed it to the herald to send to Varna.

"You will be awarded the Silver Eagle Medal, Second Class Captain, I reported your situation according to the system,

"In addition to the glittering medal, the accompanying rewards include 5 merit points, a lifetime allowance of 50 silver lang per month, which can be obtained from the day of issuance to your eternal resting day.

"The medal itself is an enchanted item, with a certain amount of protection, which can generate and maintain a defensive shield for 30 seconds, reaching a powerful physical and magical attack, and needs to be fused with your psionic ripple before using it for the first time, so that the shield is not easily disturbed by your own blood. This is especially effective for Dark Arts defense. ”

That's good, Griffith looked at the quartermaster eagerly.

Now I have a salary of 100 silver francs per month, a 50 silver lang sequence 8 extraordinary allowance and a 50 silver lang lifetime allowance!

"Don't get excited, the production of this thing is not simple, and we don't have any ready-made ones on hand," the quartermaster immediately interrupted his thoughts, "You still have to report, approve, go through the process, and be issued by the relevant departments of the central department, in a word, you can't get it from us." ”

After confirming this, the two came to talk about the previous credit payment.

Sidious didn't have the heart to wait for him to finish his work, and after a few words with the general, he left with his sister.

With his involvement, the entire barracks will realize that Griffith is not to be messed with.

Griffith recouped the extraordinary properties of the pledge by redeeming 15 units of Potential Flask and 1 unit of Refining Psionic Blend with the quest reward.

However, he suddenly discovered that he had a serious omission, and the money he spent on the other 5 units of Potential Potions was not enough.

Before Neopolis's mission, Griffith only had 556 silver francs, and the island mission gave him only 100 silver francs, including a monthly salary allowance of 150 and a 200 bonus for suppressing veterans, and after deducting some expenses and later money to buy textbooks for the new semester, he was left with only 934 silver francs.

After handing over the poison sac to Sonia, the girl gave him some potions and 1,100 silver langs, and the rest of the money had not yet been carefully calculated with him.

The quartermaster quickly calculated: "5 units of potential potion cost 2,600 silver francs, and a handling fee of 100 silver francs will be charged." ”

Hey, it's more expensive than the Earl's Court!

"Isn't it 500 silver lang a unit!"

"If you can buy 1 unit of 500 silver langs, why don't you buy it yourself earlier?"

Griffith almost lost his breath. It is still a conscience to dare to sell the Earl's Mansion to him!

"What's the deal about?"

"Stamp duty and transaction tax, as well as the operation and management fee of our brigade, 3.85% only, cheap!"

"Can it be less, I don't think it's reasonable!" Griffith had already begun to touch the hilt of his sword.

"Okay, that's 50 silver lang handling fee, 2650 silver lang potion, what do you think?" the quartermaster pinched the rat tail mustache and looked at him with a smile, "If you think this is unreasonable, you can kill me here, and see if my monthly salary of 50 silver lang good brothers agrees." ”

Griffith, of course, couldn't turn his face and kill the quartermaster for this money, so he had to pay honestly.

"How much does it cost to pay for the extraordinary properties of Sequence 9?"

"500 a piece, no two prices, love to sell or not," the quartermaster looked at him hehe, "this time you can't slam the door and leave, my monthly salary of 50 silver Lang good brothers will not agree." ”

Ahβ€”β€”! I've been cheated, the market price of the Sequence 9 perk and potential potion is basically the same, why didn't I buy more at the Earl's Court! Why didn't I settle the money with Sonya? Why didn't I ask Sidious to borrow some money?

Griffith couldn't regret it, and as soon as he went in and out, he lost 200 silver langs.

"Little brother," the quartermaster poured Griffith a cup of tea from a dirty cup, "take a long-term view, and don't just worry about the little money in front of you." ”

"What else can I do in the long run?" Griffith reluctantly made the settlement, paying 1,700 silver langs in cash, and then handed over two more Sequence 9 Extraordinary Properties.

"Tsk, you unenlightened wood," the quartermaster laughed, and drank the tea he had poured for Griffith, "you can tell this story to the noble ladies when you go back, and laugh at it for 200 silver, your own greed and stupidity, it's worth it!"

Griffith, who was almost angry, packed up his things and walked out the door, and halfway through it, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked the quartermaster who had earned an additional 3 Sequence 9 trait benefits and 200 silver langs, "What do you call Your Excellency?"

I'll write down your name when I get back and I'll come to Varens when I'm stronger, and you won't want to run away.

The quartermaster was turning the money upside down, and replied cheerfully:

"My name has long been forgotten, and everyone calls meβ€”

"Gold mines. ”

......

After completing the handover of the mission reward, Griffith returns to the General's tent and leaves them to prepare to join Sonya. He wanted to borrow a military horse so that he could get on his way as soon as possible.

Before he could make a request. A herald ran in and handed over a sealed letter.

"Report, urgent!"

What's going on? New orders? Anyone else trying to harm me?

Griffith's hand feathers fencing. If someone in the barracks is now against him, he will act immediately and take advantage of the chaos to escape. Sidious they had just left, and there was someone to testify to in the event of a conflict so as not to be framed for rebellion. If it's a new death mission, he will take out the escorted soldiers on the way, and then seek refuge with Galadia's brother.

Although Sidious was as terrible as the devil, he let go completely after calling for help from his sister and losing something. When his life was at stake, Griffith's first thought was to go to him.

"Cadet Knight," General Valens abruptly interrupted Griffith's reverie, "immediately pack your equipment, go to the quartermaster to get two military horses, and borrow them." ”

"Yes, sir. Griffith was a little confused, but he replied with his heels together.

"You may wonder what happened," General Valens said, handing over the letter in his hand, "go and read it carefully, it's a war briefing." You also have to quickly return to the construction according to the deployment of your superiors. ”

Griffith took two steps forward and took the letter from the Commander. Before he could check the contents. General Valens rose from his seat and shouted to the officers in the tent:

"Assemble the team and prepare for emergency combat.

"The order was given in my name, and the friendly forces quickly moved closer to our department. ”
