Chapter 6: The Djinn's Quest

Just when a tabloid reporter was receiving the hotel service staff, the deputy general manager he appointed came to the southeast corner of the town and found the mansion that was used as a base of operations by the giant spirit. It was a fenced courtyard, with a small two-story building of four or five hundred square meters, and its defenses were not particularly strong, but it was as stable as Mount Tai during this period. While it is true that the beast's siege ability is very lacking, the explanation of collusion with the druids is obviously more pleasing to hear. With this suspicion in mind, Sweet visits and is received by the djinn.

Note that it is "reception" and not "reception".

"Hello, dear djinn. I'm Sweet Leonard, the deputy head of the Moon Mercenary Regiment from Ascatatra, and I've been commissioned by the Woking Church to solve this animal siege. I heard that you are facing some troubles, I wonder if there is any place where we can help?" Although the original intention was just to see if we could find a quick solution to the animal siege, it is an international practice for the mercenary group to take on multiple tasks, and the deputy general manager who is skilled in business should naturally be as good as he is.

"Hello, warriors from afar. I am Khan' Chara, a nobleman from Karinshan. I don't think you, as mortals, can be of much help, but at least I can feel the sincerity of my heart. Floating in mid-air, the gorgeously dressed djinn said.

‘...... You really feel good about yourself. ’

"Yes, we did have some minor troubles, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen this place as our home, even temporarily. Khan Chara continued to feel good, "To put it simply, we're here to hunt down the criminals, a group of rakshasas led by Itafer. Hmph, Rakshasa Demon, an incomparably lowly race, all cunning shapeshifters and vicious thieves. Maybe you don't know it, but I can responsibly say that if you've met them before, you're probably not going to be able to stand here and talk to us as fully as you are now. ”

‘...... Well, although I think you're exaggerating, but if it's really a rakshasa demon, I'm afraid it's really tricky. ’

The Rakshasa Demon is a tiger-headed human intelligence race, and it is a group of visitors from the other world who have crossed to the main plane during the cataclysm. However, in terms of racial status, they can only be regarded as a tragedy, and the root of this is that this "individual strength is very strong".

Because of their strong self-sustaining strength, after encountering a natural disaster in their hometown and falling to the main plane, the Rakshasa demons positioned themselves as not vagabonds, but colonists. Using their assassination methods to disguise their skills, they stirred up some turmoil on the main plane, and then after the countries of the main plane gradually recovered from the cataclysm, together with other reactionaries who were not able to do anything, the conspiracy was smashed by the iron fist of justice. We know that, as a rule, the greater the capacity of the reactionary elements, the greater the damage they can cause, and the greater the strength of their subsequent liquidation. Therefore, the "very strong individual strength" Rakshasa Demon can be said to be killed by everyone on the main plane, and the difference in reputation is ten times worse than that of the Spirit Sucker, second only to the world's public enemy, Fei Lin Demon Kui.

Now that it has been continuously liquidated for more than 1,600 years, the Rakshasa Demon has long existed in the main plane without any well-known settlements, and all the clansmen will definitely not exceed a thousand if they are full of calculations, and even the racial civilization has not been inherited, so it can be said to be a very rare and endangered species. A race like this, which has been repeatedly artificially screened to a sparse number and broken inheritance, although the overall status is quite unbearable, but the individual strength is quite outstanding, otherwise it would not be possible to survive.

The self-esteemed Chara' Khan was satisfied to see the mortal's face change slightly, but he pretended not to find anything and continued to say to himself: "We have been tracking this prisoner for months, but every time she has been able to use the stupidity of mortals to escape our pursuit, we are tired of this long-running chase, and we hope to solve the problem with the help of some mortal power. We know that Itafel is hiding in the form of mortals near this area, and it is here that mortals are hired to fight down. ”

"What you're doing now is probably more than just 'hiring mortals to go on a crusade'. Sweet couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Aha, if you stumble upon a wild deer while hunting a jackal, wouldn't you shoot it with two arrows? Buy all the goods that have been shipped here, and then set a price that, in the words of the merchants, is more in line with the actual situation. ”

"So, how long will this last?"

"Naturally, it's until 'the price doesn't work'. Of course, if someone had already brought us the head of the Rakshasa Demon before that, we wouldn't have considered returning to Kalinsan immediately, after all, we had been away from home for too long. ”

"In that case, do you know where this rakshasa might be, and what kind of reward is it going to give for its head?" Although it is likely that he will not do it, when it comes to an open mission, this is the code of conduct for professional adventurers, and Sweet obviously understands this very well.

"If we had known where it was, we would have caught it. All I know is that it must have taken on a mortal form and hid around here, a trick often used by rats. It is common sense to speculate that it should not have stayed in the town, and the situation is not suitable, otherwise it is easy to reveal its true identity due to some accident. However, it's not completely clueless, it's a notorious human flesh lover who attacks mortals every once in a while, which is a big reason why we can be sure she's hiding nearby. Follow these clues, and maybe you'll find out. "As for the reward, little mortal, what are you going to want, loyal and brave warriors, mountains of possessions, or razor-sharp swords?"

"Ten thousand gold coins. "The so-called loyal and brave warriors are actually slave soldiers that you use as cannon fodder, and most of the mountains of wealth are piled up with miscellaneous items in the yard; as for the incomparably sharp sword, the devil knows if it is only against the straw that is incomparably sharp. As long as you need gold, the captain made this very clear, and if you can find a high-level enchanter to make it on demand, this is indeed the best choice.

"Hmph, little mortal, your appetite is really big. Two thousand gold coins, no more. ”

"Isn't the great djinn unable to afford 10,000 gold coins? Sweet snorted coldly and took out the dimensional cave that the head of the regiment had specially given him to use to hold B. This is still the high-end storage equipment that Mr. Aowo sent together when he made equipment when Sanzang Town first wanted to engage in small commodities, and he never returned it later, maybe he has forgotten it. If you want to sell it, 20,000 gold coins will be snatched up. Although as the saying goes, 'wealth is not exposed', but now we are talking about remuneration, and the price that Kuhaha and the master can get is obviously not the same. Therefore, it is necessary to reveal when it is time to dew.

Chara' Khan's pupils shrank, apparently recognizing this storage equipment that non-local tyrants couldn't use. "Even so, after all, everyone else is asking for two thousand. ”

"But so far no one has finished it, has it? This is not a task that can be solved with 2,000 gold coins. ”

"Maybe it's just that they haven't found their target yet, we have time and don't mind waiting. ”

"Yes, but maybe others don't want to wait, like the townsfolk of Tremi. ”

"Hehe, that's none of our business. "Chara' Khan shrugged.

"In that case, let's take my leave. "It's difficult, the pay is small, the employer is domineering, and it's okay not to take on such a task.

"Wait. "Chara' Khan frowned. Although there are many adventurers, there is no shortage of you, but the words of that dimensional cave, is it possible to ...... "What you said is indeed not unreasonable, in this way, I can generously give you all three rewards, and you can use one of them to hire helpers, for example, I just met two very outstanding young men, who showed an unusually strong desire for scimitars." ”

"Hmm, can you let me take a look at the real thing. Sweet was a little tempted, 10,000 gold coins is also a lion's mouth, and he always has to leave some bargaining space for the other party.

There are a total of 20 "loyal and brave warriors", equipped with the most cost-effective leather armor and the spear known as the king of the battlefield, plus a wooden arm shield, all the equipment can be done with 10 gold coins, needless to say, the level of elite is needless to say, I think it is the chicken ribs that the djinn feel that it is difficult to bring back Karlinshan and get rid of it. However, in Sweet's opinion, the Moon Mercenary Group is short of personnel, so it would be good to add some free servants.

"Mountains of possessions" are things that are piled up in the yard, some of them are in the warehouse, to be precise. Although it can't be said to be tattered, it is certainly not valuable, just daily necessities, and the goods required to be shipped by the Woking Church are very consistent, roughly equivalent to 3 orders that are 3000 gold coins. Although the value is not too high and the transportation is inconvenient, it is of great help to alleviate the material dilemma of Cuimi Town, which is very in line with the current needs.

The "Razor-Sharp Sword" is a scimitar, a Raxia Claw, a good magic weapon, and it is difficult to sell it directly to the store for more than 1500 gold, but if you can find someone who needs it, between 2000 and 2500 gold is a reasonable price. Considering the lack of mid-level strength in the mercenary group, it should be a better choice to recruit talent as a reward.

After thinking about it, Sweet spoke, "The Moon Mercenary Group is willing to serve you. Now, can you introduce me to the two wonderful young men you just mentioned?"

In the hotel room, the tabloid meeting that was disappointed because the identity of the visitor did not match the expectation was nearing the end.

“...... To the southeast of the Druid Forest, presumably in this location, lived an old woman named Adrathsa. She has been living there for several years, collecting medicinal herbs and selling them to the locals, which is quite harmless. Recently, however, many of the people who went to look for the old man have disappeared completely, and we have found a man and a woman living with her, but not before. Some locals who had returned from her side said that the old woman claimed that the two were her grandchildren, but we had checked the records and found that Adrazar's relatives had long since died. Rakshasa is a god of change, and it is reasonable to believe that they took the place of the mother-in-law, luring the natives to their lair to eat them. Said a young woman named Idona who claimed to represent the shadow thief of Chomi Town.

"Why are you telling me this?" I was invited by the Woking Church to live in the residence arranged by the church in his direct territory, and I was just asked by Pastor Woking to take away the djinn less than two hours later, and my brother was visited by you with detailed information......

"Quite simply, those djinns have looted all the wealth of Trimi, and we really can't get any oil and water from them, I hope those djinns leave quickly so that all the money will be ...... again Rational distribution. It's good for everyone, isn't it?" Idona paused, "It's not like we haven't tried, but the Rakshasa is very strong. Perhaps, I mean, the Djinn are an easier choice, not to mention that they are not undeserving of justice for their huge profits from hoarding much-needed supplies in the local area. ”

'What do I hear, are you suggesting that I kill the djinn and eat black, young man now......

"I'll need to wait for my assistant to bring back more information before I can make a decision. Therefore......"

"Understandable. In that case, then I will take my leave. ”

"Walk slowly. Mike got up to see her off, and by the way, gave her a peep at the MONOCULUS. Silence spells, you deserve them!

Then, Mike discovers that after three or two turns, Idona, who has changed her clothes, has become one of the maids of the chief commercial officer of Koplis.

The shadow thief is really powerful, and he has infiltrated the local dignitaries. Am's order doesn't seem to be so reassuring, so it's better to let Kena and the others go to Ghost City......

However, before he could finish his sigh, things took a dramatic turn.

"Master, I have already leaked the news to them according to your wishes, and the other party seems to be a little tempted but can't make up his mind for a while. "When Idona, the dutiful Shadow Thief maid returned, she went straight to her study and reported to the long-awaited Chief of Commerce.

"You're doing a great job. It was another armored man who spoke, "For now, as long as they know this information, they are likely to make a more desirable choice when they act." If not, there are other ways to do it in the future. ”

"Bal Knight, I think, rather than this, it is better to tell them all the information at the beginning. So said the chief commercial officer, who was also fully armed.

"No, honorable Chief of Commerce. Adventurers are always insatiable, and we must use our wisdom to solve the troubles of the mortal world for our lord at the lowest cost. The golden-robed guard, who had taken Mike and the others to visit the dungeon in the afternoon, the armored man Barr shook his head, "Or are you willing to use the town's public money to fill their never-ending stomachs?"

“...... Let's hope things go our way. ”

"Well, I can't imagine that all of you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and your minds are so cunning. If it weren't for the fact that my brother is more knowledgeable, maybe I really got your way. But then again, most of the reason why you are not strong is because you spend your mind on this all day long, and where do you have enough time to work hard to improve yourself, and you will be unable to solve problems when you encounter them, and you have to rack your brains more to think of some intrigues that cannot be put on the table. If you can really push and crush it, where is the need to use these crooked brains? Brother must take this as a warning......
