Chapter 22: The Selection of Tasks (I)

After Su Bai was busy, everyone sat down and began to discuss how to earn star coins.

"When Senior Lyon took you to handle the matters related to entering the Douqi Academy, I went to the trading floor to take a look at the task wall and found a few easier tasks that were more suitable for the two of us. Although these missions are not priced at many Star Coins, they can also temporarily alleviate the urgent need for the two of us to not have Star Coins. ”

However, hearing Merger's words, Senior Leon was very surprised and said, "You have just entered the Star Academy on the first day, and you are ready to take on the mission?"

"Life is forced to ......" Su Bai, who sat down, spread his hands, put on a look of underbeating, and said helplessly.

Murge smiled and pursed his lips and snorted, "Obviously forced by your stomach." ”

Su Bai saw Merge's complaining gaze and Senior Leon's smiling eyes, and rubbed his fat belly helplessly, pouting and not talking, with a rogue expression of "blame me".

Mo Ge, who was not surprised by Su Bai's tricks, no longer hurt him, and said: "Don't make trouble, let's discuss what kind of task to take first." ”

"What did you find that would work for both of us?"

"There is a quest to follow the movements and traces of the evil forces, and the reward is fifty Star Coins. Murger paused for a moment and continued, "It's just that the location of the mission is a bit far away, in Saidor City. ”

Su Bai shook his head, "It's too far, Saido City is in the eastern part of the central city, and the Mutian City where the Star Academy is located is close to the Tianyue Mountain Range and is in the western part of the continent, if we carry out this mission, it will take about a month just to travel back and forth to Saido City, in this way, even our first end-of-month open class after entering the school will be delayed." ”

"Change one for another, I don't want to skip school as soon as I enter school......" Su Bai pouted, directly denying the task of tracking down the evil forces of Saidor City.

"Indeed, I also felt that the location of this mission was too far away and the round trip took too long. Merge nodded, "The second task that I think is easier is to track down the missing apothecary, and the rewards for this task are relatively ......."

However, before Merge could finish speaking, Leon interrupted Merger.

"You can't take this task. ”

"Why?" Merge raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of confusion, "It's a strange mission, but it doesn't seem dangerous. ”

"We can't take on this task. At this time, Su Bai, whose face was gradually heavy, also rejected Merge's proposal.

Without waiting for Merge to ask again, Leon explained aloud: "This mission has been hanging on the mission wall for a long time, since the mysterious disappearance of pharmacists has occurred one after another on the mainland, various cities, associations and colleges on the mainland have issued relevant mission rewards, wanting to find out the black hand behind the inexplicable disappearance of the pharmacist." ”

"However, it has not worked out so far. Leon frowned and shook his head.

At the same time, Su Bai shook his head hopelessly and said, "The disappearance of the pharmacist is a matter that the Ten Holy Cities have not yet been able to solve, so even if we take on this task, we will not be able to complete it at all." ”

"Okay. "Since it's something that the Ten Holy Cities can't solve, it's better for him not to follow suit.

Although Merge was very curious about the disappearance of the pharmacist, when he saw the heavy faces of Su Bai and the others, he knew that he could not get a specific explanation if he asked them, not to mention, even the Ten Holy Cities did not understand why the disappearance of the pharmacist occurred frequently, and how could the students in the Star Academy understand the reason.

Although Merge was also a pharmacist, he did not feel nervous or afraid, after all, he was known as an alchemist. The identity of the intermediate pharmacist is also known only to a small number of people in Blue Ear City.

The apothecary incident made the atmosphere in the room a little heavy, to which Merge pouted and said, "The third mission I think is more suitable for us is to kill the leader of a hunter group, and the reward for the task is 200 star coins. ”

"Hunter group, is it the hunter group that intercepted and killed us in the small canyon next to the Kugoose River before?" Su Bai sat up suddenly, and said with a glint in his eyes: "If so, then didn't we complete a task ahead of schedule?"

Merge stared at Su Bai with a drooping face, "You think so beautifully, how can there be such a good thing as pie in the sky?"

"The mission information for killing the Hunter Regiment mentions the approximate range of activities of this Hunter Regiment, and in the Tianyue Mountain Range, the leader of the Hunter Regiment is an eight-star Dou Master. Ignoring the disappointed expression on Su Bai's face, Merge continued.

"I've heard of this group of hunters, too. Hearing that Merge had given a brief description of the situation of the hunter group during the mission, Leon told the two of them what he knew about the hunter group.

"This self-operated hunter group haunts the Tianyue Mountains all year round. Because the leader of this hunter group was extremely familiar with some of the terrain in the Tianyue Mountain Range, he often relied on the rugged terrain of the Tianyue Mountain Range to raid and intercept the team sent by the Chamber of Commerce to find materials in the Tianyue Mountain Range. ”

The so-called self-operated hunter group is a hunter group that has not been officially recognized by the Free Hunters Association, and belongs to a privately established illegal force, also known as an illegal hunter group. And the reason why this illegal force is also called the hunter group is because what they do is nothing more than burning and looting, mainly hunting rich chambers of commerce or lone adventurers.

Hunters who are officially recognized by the Free Hunter Association have exclusive hunter badges and costumes, and are mainly used to hunt bounty monsters and abyssal clans, so real hunters are also called bounty hunters or free hunters.

The hunter group that Leon talked about frequently haunts the main trade routes and mountains and forests, and is dominated by robbers of chambers of commerce, adventurers, alchemists and other human races.

These hunters, who make a living by robbing passers-by and chambers of commerce, roam outside the laws enacted by the Ten Holy Cities. For example, when Merge and Su Bai arrived at the small canyon near the Kugoose River with the caravan, the hunter group they encountered was their own hunter group.

To put it bluntly, the so-called self-operated hunter group is a group of robbers and bandits wearing robbed hunter clothes under the guise of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Leon paused, "The main target of this hunter group is the Chamber of Commerce, and it generally does not rob lone people, such as adventurers, after all, there is too little oil and water that can be fished from lone wanderers." Moreover, this hunter group is extremely shrewd and never robs the teams sent by the major associations to collect materials in the Tianyue Mountain Range. ”

"It's really a bully to be soft and afraid of hard......" Su Bai pouted and complained.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is indeed the consistent style of this caravan. Leon nodded in agreement, "Not only that, but this hunter group is also very cunning, relying on the complicated terrain and hidden routes in the Tianyue Mountain Range that are more familiar than others, often reaching the point, and after reaping the benefits of the caravan, they quickly evacuate, without delay, and never killing innocents indiscriminately. ”
