Chapter 5 Strange Joining
Lena returned to her room alone, carefully inspecting the entire room. Lena carefully placed a magic trap in a hidden corner of the room. After doing all this, Lena cautiously opened her package and began to inspect her belongings.
There is a mid-level magic storage ring in Lina's package, this kind of magic jewelry that costs hundreds to thousands of gold coins is a hard currency that is common to the entire continent, and even some low-level nobles can only use low-level storage rings. If anyone knew that Lena had such a ring, I'm afraid the journey would not have been so peaceful.
After making sure that the room was empty, Lena carefully opened her magic ring and luggage to check what she had learned today. Since the death of the old magician, Lena has been living in this world alone, afraid that one day she will encounter the army of natural disasters. However, the experience of joining a mercenary group completely changed her outlook on life, and she also changed from an introverted and well-behaved person to what she is now.
The ring is filled with magic crystals and precious potions, and it is a treasure trove of movement, and there is a lot of food to spare in the rare empty place. In addition, Lena only had basic clothes and some goods left on her body, and it was strange that even with such wealth, Lena still did not have a single basic magical equipment on her body.
During her time with the team, Lena learned a lot about the business side. She gritted her teeth and exchanged her favorite trinkets and shiny things for those goods. These are all potential goods based on what she has learned from constantly asking in the fleet these days, and it seems that it will be rewarding after a while. Some goods can't be bought due to channel problems, so they are replaced with hard currency such as magic crystals, as long as magic is still standing on the top of the continent one day, then magic crystals will never have to worry about sales and depreciation.
After checking her harvest for the day, Lena breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief that she had let go of a big burden. Then the happiness brought by the accumulation of wealth immediately filled her body, and she couldn't help but moan that there was nothing more lovely in the world than the crystallization of magic.
Holding a large number of magic crystals and happily falling on the bed, Lena had the heart to think about the person introduced by Davion today. That person looks so funny, as if he doesn't care about anything, but why do you always think that person is so unpleasant. Lena recalled the situation of meeting today several times back and forth, and she really couldn't think of which link went wrong in the middle. "It must be that the Magic Crystal's appearance is so cute, that's why he looks so unpleasant. Immersed in happiness, Lena put this feeling behind her and began to wander in her growing purse again.
Rewind to a few hours ago.
"Hey, friend, you're going to the Lorba Swamp?" a hand slapped Davion on the shoulder very abruptly. Davion raised his scabbard with his backhand and slammed it backwards, stepped forward with his left foot, and his head sank slightly to the left to prevent the attack of his opponent's backhand.
"Hey, I don't mean anything, my friend. The owner of the voice immediately let go of his hand and jumped backwards. "Okay, I'll step back for now. ”
Davion turned his head to look at the uninvited guest with wariness, even though he hadn't been out for long, but from what he had seen and heard in the tavern, he knew that it was a very impolite and unsafe way to greet him, and the man seemed very indifferent, spreading his hands to show his kindness, and his brown hair was not known whether it was natural or curly after a long period of unkeenness. The small nose with triangular eyes always makes people think of petty theft, but unfortunately with a big head like a lion, it is inevitably a little funny. Regardless, the mark of "Daredevil" was still attached to him by Davian.
Davion looked at him cautiously and did not speak first. The man shrugged. "Okay, I just happened to go looking for a quest, and then I saw that this quest was more suitable for me, well, it's the one you took it, so I came and asked, my name is Olofan. "The released task is not limited to how many people or how many teams accept it, generally the first to complete the task shall prevail, but like some tasks, especially life-saving herbs and animal bones, it is eager to get better and better, and the released task is just a minimum standard, and no one will think that there are too many life-saving things. The aristocrats of the day would rather leave cheese and bread to the stinking than give a bowl of milk to the beggar who poured it in front of the door. Even though the current situation is much better, medicines and magic crystals have always been the object of hoarding by the aristocracy.
Although this snake gall is not necessarily a valuable thing, it should not be too much for the employer, and the more common way to deal with it is that the latecomer will receive less rewards.
"What is the Lorba Marsh?" Davion spoke up without waiting for the other to ask. And the guy who called himself Olofan obviously didn't think of this answer, and was stunned for a moment.
...... "You don't know about the Lorba Marsh, how did you take that mission." Olofan made an exaggerated expression.
"I'm not in charge of intelligence, the girl is in charge of this mission. Davion bypassed the question lightly, relaxing his body as much as he could, trying to pretend to be old. The muscles of the whole body are slightly adjusted, and the hostility is slightly reduced. "Do you want to come with us?" Davion pulled the question back to the other man.
"Yes or no. Olofan said generously, without the slightest look of vigilance. "If I rush in, I guess you definitely don't want to share the money with one more person, I just plan to discuss with you and complete this task together, you pay first, and I will pay some bread money later, how about it?"
Davian silently pondered for a while, but did not agree, and replied that he would wait for the others to come back and make a decision together. Olofan expressed his understanding and invited Davion to have two drinks. Davion refused, and thought he had something to do, and turned and walked into the room. Before leaving, Davion looked carefully at the place he had sat in out of the corner of his eye, and after thinking about his actions, after nothing unusual, he deliberately showed his left hand holding the long sword, and then left there.
Push open the wooden door, turn around and gently close the wooden door. Davion didn't turn around, but remained facing the door. Knowing that he had indeed sensed that Olofan had turned back to his seat, Davion relaxed, shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly, wondering if he was too sensitive.
Thinking about the fact that he didn't reveal his identity, Davion stopped thinking about it and began to clean the room seriously, and he was always not sure about the cleanliness of his body. At the same time, it was to check the room for anomalous objects or other strange smells, which was one of the most training his parents had ever given him since he was a child. No one can guarantee that he will always be vigilant, and countless knightly heroes have been killed by assassination and curses, and Davion has long been aware of them.
When Lena returned, the three of them thought about it carefully. Priest was neutral, but Lena insisted on investigating, which made Davion a little displeased. Although he personally agreed with Lena's approach, Lena's insistence for no reason made Davion feel as if he didn't trust him enough. However, Davian didn't say anything, and suppressed his emotions in his heart.
The three of them bypassed Olofan and went to find someone to inquire about the stranger.
"Hey, I'll ask you something. Davion tossed a gold coin to the bartender at a tavern. In the bartender's scrutinizing eyes, Davian said in a very ordinary tone as much as possible: "It's nothing, it's not top secret news, I just want to ask if you have a guy named Olofan here." ”
The bartender lowered his head, withdrew his gaze, and wiped the table intently. "Nope. ”
Davian's brows furrowed slightly, a little dissatisfied.
"For the sake of this gold coin, the guy you said should be an outsider, we don't have that person. The bartender casually accepted the gold coin and went on without raising his head.
"Hey, hey, brother, brother. Do you know who's called Olofan here?" asked a red-haired woman as she pulled a member of the Mercenary Guild's Guild. The young, hot-blooded man turned around happily, only to find that the sweet voice from before came from a little girl with freckles on her face and some dark yellow skin. Although this little girl is full of aura, this appearance is really too different from what she imagined before. The man was a little disappointed, but he still didn't want to lose his demeanor, waved his hand, and said kindly: "No, you must have found the wrong person." ”
"May the Lord bless you, my friend. "Priest's dress, with his pious and noble appearance, easily won the favor of these commoners.
"Thank you, sir, and may the glory of the Lord shine on you forever. A scrawny old man responded to Priest gently, and although he looked poor, the look in the old man's eyes and the temperament that made people want to be intimate inadvertently were far from being matched by many nobles.
Priest knew he had the right person. "Grandpa, have you ever seen a man named Olofan?"
The old man's wise eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought carefully about his life, the smell of this young man made him think of those characters who only appear in books, and the temperament that had been deeply integrated with the boy made him rarely seriously want to do something for him from the bottom of his heart.
"There really is no such person. The old man opened his eyes little by little and said slowly. That calm and wise tone makes it impossible to doubt the truth of his words.
Priest got the answer he wanted, bowed deeply, and left the old man. Behind him, a pair of approving and nostalgic eyes chased Priest's figure until he was gone.
After that, the three of them naturally agreed to Olofan's request, which was a relatively common thing. After learning that Olofan was not one of the forces entrenched in the local area, the three of them were even more relieved. The strength of the three of them gave them a lot of self-confidence, and it would not be too miserable to think about it with three to one.
The three of them found Olofan and agreed to his request, and it was naturally time for Olofan to show his sincerity. Olofan was just like Davian described, laughing and showing his strength, no matter how you look at this person, he is biased towards the simple and bold kind of person, which also makes the three of them a little relieved.
Bows and arrows, long knives, simple ropes and daggers, there was nothing noteworthy about what Olofan had on his body. While this is certainly not all he has, who would dig out his heart and lungs for someone they just met. The fifth-level hunter has earned him the approval of the trio, and sometimes the level is just a step, and when it gets the place it deserves, the battle is not as important as people think.
The four of them made an appointment, and then they rested to recuperate, and the mercenaries who were struggling outside always cherished their physical strength.
