Chapter 14: The Devil and the Ghost (I)
Two months have passed in a flash, and Tu Ge and Qu Jiuge's daily work tasks are constantly refreshing the lowest-level tasks in the Bounty Hall, as long as it is a D-level task, it will be followed by the suitable, and occasionally the two of them will take on some slightly simpler tasks in the C-level. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the Guild Collector's Edition is still that half-dead look, Gao De is a little depressed, except for Tu Ge and Qu Jiuge two colored pens willing to enter the Collector's Edition, Gao De has never recruited anyone again. During this month, new people came to the village of Maguliruo, who was the same train man as Tuge's time. After hearing about the dispute between the Collector's Edition and the Qin Leak Society, as Tu Ge thought, no one wanted to join, and the Collector's Edition had begun to crumble......
"Let's go, Kuka!" Tuge, who was already ready to go, turned around and gave an encouraging thumbs up to the yawning Kukaku.
"Brother Tu, but I'm really sleepy!"
"Do you need me to get a hearse to carry you?"
"Forget it!" Jiuge snorted, walking through the stone pillars in front of the guild that had been overgrown with weeds for months, and the Collector's Edition three-character iron cable had been completely decayed and clean, and then fell, Gao De simply carved the Collector's Edition three words in front of the building, so that he stopped.
The guild has always been deserted, the ground has not been cleaned for an unknown number of years, accumulating thick dust, except for a few people, Tu Ge is almost already familiar with it, originally thought that the arrogant YMCA named Saint-Saëns was the next person to leave, but what people didn't expect was that that person did not leave, but worked harder, no less than Tu Ge and the others, and took over the task to maintain the operation of the guild. Because the guild must pay a certain amount of taxes to the village in Magkuli every month, the larger the guild, the more taxes it will ask, and the size of the guild is determined by the number of people, and the gold coins of the members cannot be used to replace the taxes, and the shares drawn from the task must be used to pay taxes, that is to say, if you want to collect taxes, you must do the task to a certain extent, otherwise the relevant authorities of Magoki will issue an announcement to pay within a time limit, and it is not enough, and it will be the end of the forced dissolution of the guild. It is easy to understand that the more people pay taxes, it is easier to understand, and it is no wonder that Gao De is busy recruiting people all day long, and the current collector's edition pays ten gold coins a month, which is not much, but it is very bad, which means that the members of the collector's edition must do the task of two hundred gold coins, and each person will also need twenty gold coins to divide it evenly, and five percent of the extraction will be given to the village of Magok Liruo, and if Marguli will share part of the dividends to the bounty hall, and use it for the construction of other villages.
Tu Ge did not estimate the number of people in the Collector's Edition, but it seems that it is no more than ten, Tu Ge has not counted it specifically, some members are elusive in Qu Jiuge's words, even the person who introduced the business card to Tu Ge in the first place, Tu Ge has never seen it again, because he can't say anything specific about the characteristics of that person, and Gao De can't say who that person is, I don't know if he has left the Collector's Edition. Besides, the current president of the collector's edition, An Ren, is completely decadent and self-abandoned, spending day after day in a mess, it seems that his father's death hit him hard, and Gao De also shook his head helplessly. is not even as energetic and ideal as his sister Annan, who wiped away her tears in the face of difficulties and continued to move forward bravely.
"Brother Rabbit, wait for me!" a soft voice came from behind, accompanied by a coquettish smile. Tu Ge's face twitched slightly, Qu Jiuge couldn't help but smile, originally Xiao Nizi An Nan called Brother Tu, but in a mission related to the Demon Butcher, because the situation was too urgent, An Nan couldn't help but yell, Brother Rabbit, be careful behind your back, since then, Tu Ge's name has been changed to Brother Rabbit, and Qu Jiuge also laughed at Tu Ge for most of the day. "Lewd man, why do you always laugh so obscenely, won't you take a piece of soap and get a good plastic surgery? Get out of the way of Miss Ben!" An Nan glared at Qu Jiuge fiercely, and said angrily. Originally, An Nan joined Tu Ge by accident, originally An Nan planned to do the task by herself, after all, she is also a junior magician no matter how she says, but she is very sensible at a young age, and understands that her father's guild can't always let others save her, and her waste brother can't count on it, and only she can rely on herself, so she begged Gao De in every possible way and wanted him to take her to do the task together. But Gao De has been busy recruiting people, not to mention Gao De's second turn to a warrior sword demon, and the tasks he does are generally more dangerous B-level tasks, what is this called with a little girl? At first, the little girl was reluctant in every way, not to say that Jiuge was a lewd man with dirty thoughts, and in the end, Gao De's face was flat, do you like to go. An Nan pouted and reluctantly agreed, of course, Gao De's move was also very helpless, if An Nan was allowed to take the task alone, Gao De was even more uneasy, it was better to let An Nan integrate into the team of Tu Ge and the two, after all, An Nan was also a magician, and he could not protect An Nan forever. As warriors, the two Tug have an obligation to protect the magicians in the team!!
"Hey, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young, and do you call the lewd man?" Qu Jiuge said with his thumb boringly clasped his nose and said dissatisfiedly.
"It's disgusting!" An Nan's eyes were full of disgust, then he looked at Tu Ge and immediately showed a happy smile, took Tu Ge's arm and smiled: "Brother Rabbit, let's go! Ignore this lewd man!"
"Why is this treatment so big? Sure enough, Tu Ge's charm is for all ages!" Qu Jiuge spread his hands. Tu Ge quietly pulled out his arm from An Nan's arms, and waved his big hand: "Let's go!"
As for An Nan's cat, it has been put into the pocket cage, and it can be released when needed, until now An Nan still believes that the cat is not a cat, it is a leopard, such a stubborn little girl, Tu Ge is also very helpless, simply everyone is the same caliber, the leopard is a leopard!
Coming to the splendid bounty hall, Tu Ge took on a slightly difficult task at the C-level, he naturally solicited the opinions of Qu Jiuge and An Nan, and got the unanimous affirmation of the two, one felt that the D-level task would damage his glorious image, and the other felt that if he didn't make more money, the taxes that the guild would have to pay might not be able to make up, and the previous three of them had a good cooperation, An Nan also felt that he should take on a higher task.
"The mission this time is to kill the second-grade demon ghost, get the demon stone on its body, and the gold reward is ....."
"En?" Qu Jiuge listened to Tu Ge's report while looking at the beauties of all kinds of flavors in the bounty hall, the beautiful mage wearing a magic robe with a split hem revealing a snow-white **, a female warrior with a hot body, and a female summoner wearing rune armor, heard Tu Ge stop, turned his head and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" An Nan had the same question in his little brain, and was about to look around with his little feet, but found that he couldn't reach the height of Tu Ge's chest, so he had to give up!
"The reward turned out to be a hundred gold coins!" Tu Ge took a deep breath, very surprised, and then was grabbed by Qu Jiuge, looking around like a baby, and found that no one noticed here, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and accept the task!" Qu Jiuge's eyes burst into stars, a hundred gold coins! Not a hundred silver coins, this is the biggest deal in the past two months, is this the legendary **** luck?
"Miss, we took this task!" Qu Jiuge patted the front desk proudly and said. It seems to want to attract the attention of the beautiful cuties at the front desk. However, the cutie was not surprised by such a pretending man, nodded silently, and then said: "The task time is one day, the next one!"
"Uh-" Qu Jiuge was very injured and came back, An Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and Tu Ge began to check the items in his backpack, the second-grade demon ghost, a cold place more than twenty miles east of Maguriruo. However, the target was just a simple demon stone, and Tug felt that there was nothing to prepare. Greeting Shangqu Jiuge and An Nan, they went to the outskirts of the village.
"An Nan, have you brought everything you should have brought with you?" was about to cross the entrance of the village, when Tu Ge suddenly stopped and commanded.
"Yes!" An Nan checked his little back, and then the little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded his little head.
"Okay, let's go!" Tu Ge checked his things again, and found that there was no diminution of the bad feeling in his heart for a moment, Tu Ge could only attribute it to thinking too much, as for Qu Jiuge, he didn't seem to care about these at all, as long as Tu Ge was there, there was nothing to say about the danger! Tu Ge was the sky, and Tu Ge was the earth, sheltering him from the wind and rain.
"Let's go, lewd man, why are you still stupid?" An Nan kicked Qu Jiuge's ass fiercely from behind.
"It's so violent at such a young age, be careful that you can't marry in the future!" Qu Jiuge put his hands behind his head and laughed.
"You have to take care of it!"
"Okay, everyone be careful, there is a purgatory zone ahead, An Nan, let's add the state of popularity!" It turned out that An Nan was a magician of the auxiliary department, Qu Jiuge was taken aback at first, and thought that the little girl was determined to become a summoner......! I really can't see the appearance, An Nan hasn't been assessed after all, so naturally there is no way to put on a magic robe.
The faint cyan wind energy slowly gathered under the feet of the three of them to form a swirling wind power, the wind state can increase the speed of movement, it is a must-have for hurrying, even when escaping, it is also an excellent practical magic skill, but with An Nan's magic power, it can only support ten minutes. The three of them moved quickly to the east.
Ten minutes later, the three of Tu Ge finally entered the purgatory area, and Qu Jiuge also put away his smile, pulled out a machete from behind his back, and looked around vigilantly. The Purgatory Zone does not belong to the village of Magukriruo, and it is too normal to kill people and steal goods, and in addition to your own village, you may even meet people from other villages! It is very normal to start a conflict, and each village seems to be incompatible, a bit like the city-state of ancient Greece, each village will sign a so-called friendly alliance treaty, so that the adventurers in the village can have a foothold, of course, if Maguki is very miserable, because it is too weak, it has already been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the people of other villages, and it is eager to eradicate it immediately, and naturally there will be no allies or anything like that.
Tu Ge looked at the surroundings of the wasteland with sharp eyes, constantly patrolling back and forth, An Nan was also a rare serious color, the three of them formed a mage in the middle, and the formation of the two warriors was slowly moving forward. Tu Ge's mood is not comfortable, the feeling of danger is getting stronger and stronger in his heart, if it weren't for the commission is too tempting, Tu Ge will definitely give up, no matter how much the commission is, he must have his life to enjoy!
The cold place, the formation is ominous, the demon ghost dominates this hell, the outermost ghost is only the appearance of one or two grades, and if you go deeper, it is three or four grades, or even higher, Tu Ge intends to try to find the demon stone in the periphery, killing the demon ghost can drop the demon stone, but the explosion rate is really too low, to put it bluntly, the demon stone is the death core of the demon ghost, which is equivalent to the demon core of the demon beast.
Along the way, Tu Ge and the others did not meet anyone, Tu Ge and the others were most afraid of meeting the domineering and unreasonable Qin Leak Society, this group of people was not reasonable at all, since the Qin Leak Society eliminated the Collector's Edition and became the number one guild in Marguri, their behavior became more and more arrogant. Even blatantly oppressed the people of other guilds, which made people can't help but feel nostalgic for the era when there was a collector's edition that could compete with it.
Entering the cold place, I obviously felt that the temperature of the surrounding air began to drop, and even a little blue ice crystals condensed in the air, and even the blood pool was no longer bubbling a little bubble, but very calm like a pool of stagnant water, this is the best place for ice magicians to cultivate, known as the "Holy Land".
A demon ghost slowly came in front of him, with a blue face and fangs, his hair hadn't been washed for a few months, and his whole body was suspended in the air so straight and straight, don't look fierce, but it was strong on the outside, "Wh-" Tu Ge pulled out the sharp long sword behind his back, and easily split the demon ghost of the first grade into two. With a sound of "Weng-", the demon ghost who was divided slowly turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that the purpose of running out was to be reincarnated.
