CHAPTER 40
Perpetual half-price privilege at the Tavern in Another World?
Sounds good.
But given the level of cooking at this tavern, the actual value of this privilege is greatly discounted.
The tavern owner, who took in the girl's hesitation and hesitation, looked calm on the surface, but he was uneasy in his heart, afraid that the adventurer in front of him, who was quite talkative, would reject him.
The town of Santan is the smallest and poorest town even in the remote southern Lysyphus, and the adventurers' guild in Reberion, the capital of southern Lysyphus, is reluctant to set up a temporary office here, because it often does not receive any slightly better commissions for weeks in a row, and even the fledgling adventurers do not want to waste their time here.
The method of going to the Reberion Adventurers' Guild to issue a commissioned mission did not work, because almost all the adventurers had recently been mobilized and stationed in various towns to improve their defenses.
Theoretically, the town of Santan, located almost in the southernmost part of South Risifus, should also be garrisoned by adventurers, but this small and poor town could not afford to pay a private tribute to the leader of the adventurer's guild, so the entire town is now garrisoned by only one lone adventurer and a dozen soldiers who are better than nothing......
In other words, if he Fernando hadn't been able to get the adventurer in tow today, he would have dragged the pile of fat to the forest to his death.
The fear of death made the money-loving tavern keeper finally make up his mind, and he shuddered and pulled his wallet out of his body, and poured out the coins inside and divided them into two piles.
In these two piles of silver coins mixed with a few copper and gold coins, the tavern owner Fernando cheekily took two gold coins from the pile on the left and stuffed them into his cuffs, pushed the pile of coins to Shi Junjun on the opposite side of the wooden table, and said reluctantly:
"This is counted as my personal reward for entrusting you, as long as you go and take the initiative to take over the task of discovering the intelligence of the monster, this pile of money will belong to you."
At the rate of otherworldly coins, a gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins or a hundred copper coins, and is often accompanied by a premium of no less than 10%.
The girl roughly estimated the pile of coins, which was probably worth a dozen gold coins?
It seems that the money left on her body is only worth four or five gold coins, so a dozen gold coins is not a small amount for her.
After all, entering other towns to scout intelligence in the future may require more otherworldly currencies to open the way, and in this case, it is better to prepare early.
And then there's ...... Who is afraid of money?
However, the fact that the monsters are about to attack the human town sounds a bit serious, and it is better not to rush to accept this commission until the owner of the human tavern in front of him figure out what happened.
"I've just arrived in South Richsyus, can you please tell me what the so-called monster attack is?"
Shi Junjun, who didn't pocket the coins on the table in front of him, asked.
Fernando, the tavern owner, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the girl did not immediately accept the commission, but asked for information, and it seemed that this young female adventurer was not some fledgling stunned young man or charlatan, so he told the story that had recently been widely circulated among the townspeople of Santan Town.
More than three weeks ago, Lord Robinette, as the new lord of South Risifus, had patrolled the forest south of South Rissyphus under the protection of the guards.
However, one night their camp was attacked by monsters, and in the end, only Viscount Robinette and the chief of the guard survived, and it is said that the two were in a terrible state at the time......
"It stands to reason that there has been no monster activity on the outskirts of the forest for a long time, and it is really surprising that Lord Viscount was attacked and lost so many people."
The tavern keeper sighed with emotion, remembering that if the difficulty of the task was described too high, it might discourage the adventurers in front of him, so he hurriedly added:
"But so far there has been no news of sightings of monsters from the town, so maybe the irrational creatures retreated to the depths of the forest after attacking the Viscount? Even if there are still one or two left, I believe that with your strength, it should not be a problem to deal with it, I heard that not long ago, an adventurer from the next town slaughtered three ......"
The tavern owner was still babbling about the various gossip circulating in Santan Town, but Shi Junjun couldn't help but feel the urge to cover her face.
What monster attack...... Most of the perverted nobles felt that it was too shameful to be stripped naked and bound by the goblins, so they would make up such a big lie to save face.
And the green-skinned dwarfs obviously didn't hurt any of them, only two survived......
Well, it's a good rumor.
In her current status, she couldn't defend herself and the goblins, so she had to give an embarrassed but polite smile to the spitting tavernkeeper.
Since most of the so-called monsters are purely fabricated existences, isn't there any difference between the commission given by the tavern owner in front of him and picking up money for nothing?
So the girl got up and trotted, and leaned on the broccoli that had opened the full-picture perspective, and successfully found the captain of the soldier who was already slightly drunk in a certain street, and happily took over the task of going to the forest alone to find out the traces of the monster in the eyes of the other party as if to say, "This person is an idiot."
It wasn't until the captain of the soldiers vaguely reminded him that even if he died in the forest because of the battle with the monsters, they would not provide rescue operations including even the collection of corpses, that the girl went out a little with a look of chagrin, saying that in that case, wouldn't the permanent half-price discount of the Fernando Tavern she had just obtained be wasted.
When the captain of the soldier who had an unprecedentedly unscrupulous conscience heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said that he was willing to pay the price of three gold coins in exchange for this permanent half-price discount.
The girl asks if three gold coins are too little?
Finally, the chief guard, who was carried away by the strength of the wine, found four gold coins without thinking, and then staggered to Fernando's tavern, accompanied by the girl, and announced in the latter's resentful eyes that he would spend the rest of his life drinking all the wine of Fernando, a stingy man.
The girl next to her, who was a little weak-hearted, looked nonchalantly out of the tavern window, wondering if she should have opened the price higher.
At this time, the Bluetooth headset hidden in the hair suddenly sounded the voice of broccoli:
"Mochi attention, mochi attention, it seems that a guy dressed as a human adventurer has passed in your direction......"
Before Shi Junjun could react, an excited immature male voice sounded in her ears:
"Adventurers from a foreign land, welcome to Santan Town, let's have a good fight!"
