Chapter 47: Temporary Teaming
In the darkness of the ruins, the magic crystals on the walls glowed faintly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a circle of people sat together, and not far away, a metal puppet lay on the ground with black smoke, making a sizzling sound from time to time.
"So, you've taken the commission to find the dragon for the first time you've been in the Underground Palace?" said Master Borg, curling his beard slightly.
"Yes, I was also going on an expedition, so I found a more challenging commission. Berlett's answer immediately caused the eyes of several people around Master Borg, and he spent a thousand gold coins on intelligence for a dragon that he didn't know if it was real.
I hate this kind of boy-brother character the most, if I can take a thousand gold coins seriously, I won't be working hard in the ruins for a long time. What is he here, his own back garden?
"Can I see your information?" asked Borg after a moment's thought.
Hearing Borg's words, Bellet immediately set his eyes on Makoto Tatsuno. Makoto Tatsuno thought for a moment and handed over the map. Berlet took the map, took out the dragon information on his body, and handed it to Borg together.
Borg took a look and returned the thing to Bellet. He smiled and said, "You should have to continue to go down this commission, but this layer of teleportation array has not been found yet." Do you want to work together?"
"Why should we cooperate with you, what if you want to fight us for the dragon?"
Without waiting for Bellet to reply, Ling Qi shouted angrily. Although I didn't suffer a loss in the battle just now, my mood was very affected. So except for Borg and Bellet, who were talking politely, the rest of the people were staring at each other with wide eyes.
The person who was frozen by the owl has recovered, and Makoto Tatsuno's injuries are actually not serious. The origin of the matter has been clarified, and it was originally a misunderstanding. When Borg's team was fighting with the metal dolls, Makoto Tatsuno and the others were suddenly teleported over, and the two teams without any conflict of interest fought inexplicably. The misunderstanding is clear, but the heart knot has not been opened for the time being.
Hearing Ling Qi's words, Hans, who was carrying a giant hammer, took over the conversation with a smile.
"Lovely young lady, even if you don't believe in our character, you shouldn't doubt the character of Master Borg!"
When I first introduced it, everyone already knew it. This Borg Master is the chief magic advisor to the lord of Sakura Castle, and although he is a magician, he is extremely interested in alchemy. Coming to the Underground Palace is also to try your luck and see if you can find interesting spells or fun alchemy machines.
And this Hans is a veteran bounty hunter, who wanders the ruins all year round. He has been friends with Master Borg for many years, and although he did not work in Sakura Castle like Borg, he often went in and out of the ruins with Borg on treasure hunting expeditions.
Magical envoys have a special status in the Federation, and even if they hold ** positions in the Federation, most of them are only in name. Most of his time is spent studying spells and exploring the ruins, and there are very few magicians who are actually involved in the administration of the Federation. Having a magician as an advisor is just a way for the nobles in the Federation to show their strength.
Regarding the identity of Borg, a magic envoy, except for Berlet who politely expressed respect, the rest of the people did not react. After all, the three of Tatsuno Makoto are powerful magicians themselves, and in their eyes, there are no magicians who can be worthy of their respect. As for Ling Qi's idea, it's relatively simple, it's just a magician, and it's not that he doesn't have it at home, and it's not uncommon.
Seeing that his words had no effect, Hans touched his bald head in embarrassment, and felt depressed for a while. Master Borg is very famous in Sakura City, why don't these guys react at all? Even if it is not a famous magician in an expedition team, they are all star-studded existence, these guys must be rookies among rookies, so this reaction will be this, Hans directly marked Tatsuno Makoto and the others as rookies.
When Bellet was embarrassed, Xiao suddenly said: "I think we can accept this proposal." ”
The words of the owl immediately made Belette feel a sense of salvation, and he was a third-class person and a magician to negotiate, and a few of you powerful guys pretended to be ruthless on the side. If I could decide for myself, I wouldn't have to take you with me to explore the ruins!
Hearing Owl's answer, both Borg and Hans smiled. The strength of these people has just been seen, and the metal puppets that have brought a lot of trouble to themselves have been put down by the other two people. Hans's feelings were more direct, his giant hammer was a secret weapon, plus his own martial arts, but in the end it was just a draw, and the other party actually only relied on his fists and frost fighting energy.
With such a strong man on board, no expedition group would refuse. Just as Borg and Hans were about to say a few kind words to Makoto Tatsuno and the others, Xiao spoke again.
"Needless to say, kind words will be said, we are only temporarily joining, after all, our purpose is different. But there's a question, are the teleportation arrays in the ruins all guarded by monsters like this, and then teleported randomly?"
The Owl's question stunned all the people in Borg, and under Berlett's explanation, everyone understood what was going on.
"Hahahaha!"
After listening to Bellet's explanation, Hans burst out laughing, and the rest of the people also had the same expressions that you are really wronged.
It turns out that in the Bounty Hunter Guild, there is only one principle for this kind of person who directly buys map information without providing any proof of strength, and that is to deprive you of all your gold coins.
In the Federation, both warriors and magicians conduct special strength measurements. And the three of Tatsuno Makoto didn't know about this at all, and although Bellet and Ling Qi knew about it, they didn't know that Tatsuno Makoto and the three of them hadn't done a strength test.
This principle of the Bounty Hunters' Guild is unknown to these people. Therefore, the first expedition of the five people of Makoto Tatsuno first spent a set of unjust money to buy a lesson.
After Hans explained to Makoto Tatsuno, he took out a map from the package next to him and handed it to Belette. It is detailed with the various exits and teleportation arrays of the underground palace, as well as the distribution of monsters. It's just that from the sixth floor, the map is not so complete.
"Let's use this map first. The empty space you can fill in as you go. Hans said boldly.
After listening to Hans's explanation, Tatsuno Makoto took out a hardcover map of 1,000 gold coins from his arms with a depressed face, and rubbed it on the ground casually. Compared to Hans's map, this map is completely useless. According to Hans, the people are now on the sixth floor, and the map exchanged for 1,000 gold coins only draws the fourth layer completely, and the bottom is all blank. Such garbage, Makoto Tatsuno will never be left on his body.
"However, you were able to forcibly break through the room guarded by the Grim Reaper, and you could also find a random teleportation array, which was sold to the guild and was worth a lot of gold. Hans looked sorry when he saw Makoto Tatsuno throwing the map, and laughed again.
After such a commotion, everyone's apparent estrangement disappeared. At least this improvised team is no longer as hostile to each other as it was at the beginning.
Before setting off again, Borg went to check the sizzling metal doll. After inspection, it was found that all the internal parts of the doll had been destroyed, so the doll was completely useless to study. Borg glanced back at Makoto Tatsuno, who was about to set off, this white-haired young man was able to destroy the inside of the puppet like this with one palm, such strength actually didn't have any experience of exploration, it was really a strange team.
After emphasizing again how the loot would be distributed, the temporary team officially set off. The exploration of the sixth floor of the underground palace began. Looking at the people around him, Belette had an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth, the more people he did, the easier it was to do his own things, and he was not interested in valuable loot, only that thing was his purpose. The secret hidden in the underground palace is the key to my strength.
Seeing Bellet's appearance, the Owl and the illusionist exchanged a meaningful look. Then he glanced at Makoto Tatsuno, who was teaching Ling Qi how to use his fighting spirit, no matter what purpose Bellet had, at least Makoto Tatsuno had gained something.
