Chapter 68: Killing Monsters for Hire

"Oh, you're going to hire us?"

In the corner room on the second floor of the hotel, the lights were bright, and there were two people sitting across the table from Luo Lan and Lucia, who were members of the mercenary group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

A woman who looked to be about thirty was wearing a black robe, and looked at the little girl who suddenly entered with a chuckle: "Do you know who we are? Little girl, aren't you afraid that your parents will worry when you come out so late? Where is your home, if you are afraid, I can take you back." ”

"Orin, listen to her. Another mercenary in the room sat in a chair in the back and spoke calmly.

He looked extremely muscular, the height of an adult man just sitting, with scars visible on his rough skin, and the chair beneath him groaned in a way that seemed to be about to shatter at any moment. If it weren't for the wrinkles on his face and his gray beard, anyone would have thought he was in the prime of life and not an old man.

Lucia nodded in gratitude to the stout mercenary and pondered, "The mercenary may have just arrived in Zekalinya Town and hadn't heard of the rumors here. Originally, there was a lake in the north of our town with abundant fish, but a few years ago, there was a sudden wreck of a water monster, and no one knew exactly when the water monster appeared, and many fishermen died in the lake, including my relatives. ”

After a pause, she continued, "Now that the lake has become off-limits, and the livelihood of most of the fishermen in the town has become a problem, I would like to ask the mercenaries to destroy the monsters in the lake. ”

As she spoke, without waiting for the mercenary to ask again, Lucia directly took out a wooden box in her baggage, opened it, and a transparent blue spar lay quietly in the box, shining charmingly under the lamplight.

It was a water-based spar that Luo Lan had already used a knife to shave off the surface stone.

"This is, the magic crystal of the water system?"

The eyes of the black-robed woman Orin were instantly attracted, and her tone was still a little surprised, and the sturdy mercenary behind her also flashed with a glimmer of light when she saw this.

"That's right, this is my family's ancestral treasured stone. It wasn't until I saw the relevant information in the books of the academy and asked the teacher about it that I was sure. Lucia glanced at Luo Lan, her face was not red and she was not panting: "I know that the minimum employment amount for mercenary adults is one hundred gold coins, and this water spar is worth about one hundred gold coins when it is put on the market, so I want to exchange it for you to make a move." It just so happens that a spar is on my body, and it is easy to be coveted by bad people, so it is better to ask the adults to destroy the water monsters in the lake to avenge me. ”

Elemental crystals are rare magical ores that can be used to absorb or create transcendent items, and are loved by alchemists from princes and mages to magicians. And it is precisely because of the scarcity of their minerals that the price has been high for a long time, and a small spar can be worth a lot of gold coins.

Naturally, if the news of a little girl's possession of elemental crystals spread, it would undoubtedly attract a large number of thieves and robbers, and it would be the safest choice to get out in time.

Hearing this, the black-robed woman looked back at the sturdy mercenary, and saw a positive look in the other party's eyes, indicating that there was no problem.

Indeed, Lucia's words are reasonable, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to find any loopholes. The fishing boats were sunk, people died, the lake was listed as a forbidden area, and most of the fishermen were unemployed, all of which Luo Lan had previously investigated from the people in the tavern. The little girl who had practiced in the forest in advance was also very familiar with this, and her statement was natural, so that people could not catch a flaw.

"Pretty old, what do you mean?" Orin, a black-robed woman, looked at the elderly stout mercenary behind her.

The mercenary, who was strong and huge and had a gray beard, shook his head: "The water monster in the lake, I haven't heard of it before I came." We're going to have to investigate and find out what the creatures are. ”

"Tomorrow I can lead the way for the mercenaries. Lucia immediately replied, her eyes shining with a strong light: "Please be sure to avenge me and restore the stability of Zekalinya Town." If it weren't for my lack of ability, I would definitely go to fight with Mr. Suzumoki. ”

"Mr. Suzumu, do you mean the one next to you?" Orin looked at Luo Lan.

Because Lucia had been talking since entering the house, and he was wearing a black robe to cover his face and was very low-key, the two mercenaries didn't pay too much attention. At this moment, the little girl mentioned Luo Lan, and only then did she habitually ask.

"Well, Mr. Suzumaki is my summoning undead. ”

When Luo Lan heard the little girl's words, she directly pulled down her hood, revealing her true colors.

"What? It's an undead skeleton?!"

The eyes of the black-robed woman Orin suddenly became shocked, and she seemed to be a little incredulous, the expression on her face was really moved for the first time, and the mercenary man behind her also showed a very surprised look.

"Impossible, how can it be an undead, how could I not sense it, could it be that the long period of level retention has weakened my dark perception?"

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Suzumaki hasn't shown his face, so he ......," Lucia explained.

The old man sitting in the chair shook his head and said, "It's not your problem, little girl. Orin: She's just like you...... He's a necromancer, too!"

When Luo Lan heard this, she immediately understood the reason for the black-robed woman's gaffe.

If you want to say that people are the most sensitive to the undead, the Holy Priest of the Holy See of Light is one of them, and the other is naturally a necromancer who spends his days with corpses. A necromancer is definitely the first to feel the presence of the undead anywhere, and they and the undead will have a sense of the same source of power, especially the closer they are, the stronger the echo will be.

However, because Luo Lan was in and out of crowded places all day long, he habitually hid the breath of the undead, which was a means he comprehended when he was on the undead plane, and he also used this method to capture the canine-shaped undead at that time. Naturally, he who hid all his breath was difficult for the necromancer to sense without him noticing.

"Oh, this mercenary sister is also a necromancer?" Lucia was also a little surprised.

"Yes, my name is Orin Xun, and I am a three-ring necromancer. The black-robed woman Orin clapped her hands as she spoke, emitting a mental fluctuation, and immediately the sound of footsteps sounded from outside the door, and a dark-robed figure also walked in: "This is my summoning undead skeleton, called Ah Xun." ”

Orin stepped forward and pulled open the dark robe, and suddenly a white humanoid skeleton was revealed, more than ten centimeters taller than Luo Lan, with a head similar to a jackal's skull, and a blue soul flame flashing in his eyes, and his breath was still above the recovery level.
