Chapter 32: The Mandate is Fulfilled
Smack.
Melina's small leather shoes were in a pool of blood, and the sticky texture made her frown in displeasure. I didn't have to fight... She sighed, but with the confidence that she would not lose, she waved her right hand down.
Click.
Ten shells landed neatly.
Melina's little face twitched, the thousandth time she regretted whether she was a little hasty in the decision to make magic [Morning Star's Glorious Alchemy], using nearly 10,000 gold lei to make a life-saving magic is not intended for her own use, will it be too hasty?
Universal musket ammunition is cheap, and the price of 10 rounds of 1 copper lei is the king of cost performance.
1 silver lei can be exchanged for 100 rounds.
1 gold lei can be exchanged for 1000 rounds.
For the average musketeer, it simply did not run out. A musket is an armament that pursues the accuracy of hits rather than the number of bullets.
But Melina consumes 10 times as many bullets as a normal musketeer, and 10 times the cost is terrible for whatever it costs, for example, if a ticket costs 2 yuan a ticket, then Melina's ticket is 20 yuan a ticket. A 2 yuan ticket is considered cheap, but a 20 yuan ticket can be painful every time you spend it.
Melina now knocks out 1 copper lei every time she fires.
Heartache is inevitable.
Melina decided to take care of the economy, although it is not impossible to ask Sonia for money, but it is always a bit weird. In the past few days, Melina was ready to use her senior sister's savings to order some things and spend a lot of time drinking, but she discovered an extremely terrifying thing...... Sonia and Maria, the two senior sisters, are actually AA when they eat locally in Hamlet!
It's scary.
Melina is a good-looking person, and the two senior sisters are AA, so she must AA! And the price of good face is that you have to spend an extra 2 silver lei for ordering takeout every day, and sometimes you even have to pay 1 gold lei for a meal. God, eat 3 gold lei for a meal, is this the consumption that the Weeping Peninsula should have? Unfortunately, as the poorest one in the girls' dormitory, Mei Mei doesn't understand the consumption level of the seniors.
When she was thinking about the 'economy' in her heart.
The two howling wind dragons couldn't hold back and secretly approached from the left and right. Dragons, as intelligent creatures, naturally understand that it is not easy to mess with a girl who can pinch a dragon by the neck like a thermometer. But the yellow dragon species also wants to save face (this is a true habit), and the so-called three-win theory has appeared in the cunning little brain of the yellow dragon species.
There are many dragons on your side, and one is still four against one when you die! It's a win.
The other party is short, and it looks like a banshee cub! It's a win-win.
Three... The three can't be made up, rush on, dragon brothers! Hmmmmmmmmm
Maybe what these two howling wind dragons thought in their hearts was 'four against one, you can't run away without fighting', but the last two more cunning howling wind dragons who have already run away are probably thinking of 'to save face and suffer crimes'.
Melina felt the fishy wind blowing in her face, and came back to her senses, seeing that the howling wind dragon had begun to spit hallucinogenic spray, and was about to dodge backwards, but halfway through the technical move, it was changed to 'dodge' forward. In just a split second she figured out one thing, and couldn't figure out another.
What I want to understand is: first-level dragons kill like chickens, and they actually dare to fight head-on, which is a rare opportunity.
What I don't understand is: instead of fleeing, the enemy dares to attack me?
Bullying her, Melina used the elbow of world peace she had learned from Maria, and shattered the Howling Storm Dragon's jaw from the bottom up with the banshee's natural weapon. Turning over and riding on the dragon body, Bang Bang knocked him to the ground with two punches, and then fired several shots in quick succession to the head to easily kill one in seconds.
The other saw that the situation was not good, and while his brother was killed, he ran backwards, and his wings like chickens were about to fan out of the fire.
But it was too late.
Although Melina's method of killing the two howling wind dragons was an Yagami-style neck choke, and the other was an Artest-style elbow, in the end, they both saved face for their main profession 'shooter' and solved the problem with a gun. She attaches so much importance to her identity as a shooter, so naturally it can also be regarded as a ranged unit, and the consequences of exposing her back to a ranged unit can be imagined.
There was a double thump, and the howling wind dragon that had been shot through the spine and into the heart from behind fell to the ground and died, and the sound of a slap sounded at the same time.
Melina gave herself two pounds, and her heart was full of remorse.
The shooting skills she learned from the academy were originally to make up for the second shot, but now she is losing a lot of money when she uses these two shots! Ten guns fired a salvo, and a full 20 bullets went out, which cost an extra fifth of today's takeaway fee! Even if there is a cook at home now, the cost of meals is even more lossy!
What's worse is that Melina's parameters are relatively high, the gun is locked, and the most vulnerable and valuable material of the howling wind dragon is only the dragon horns on its head, and the three dragon horns left behind have all been beaten to pieces. The Economic Bureau is in the red.
Estimated, the profit is about 1 silver and 5 copper lei, and it depends on whether the locals accept the meat of the howling wind dragon...... The feathers of this dragon are real feathers and are particularly ugly, with no craft value. The magic factor on the body... Melina had nothing but absorb the Yellow Dragon Seed Factor.
Fortunately, Melina's use of arms is itself an economic bureau.
Other banshees need to buy electricity for their weapons.
Melina, on the other hand, is self-sufficient in terms of electricity.
In this way, the economy is acceptable.
Coupled with the remuneration of the commission, Melina can be regarded as having raised enough 0.0001% of the upgrade fee of the musket level four - the first three levels are managed by Senior Sister Ma and Senior Sister Suo, originally Melina still wanted to save face, but when she looked at the bill, she could only lie down on the spot, "I saved the world, and you still want reinforcement fees from me?" ’。
Sorting out the clothes and burying the corpse, Melina was not very skilled and shy in doing this work for the first time.
The smell of blood was swallowed up by the smell of earth. Melina looked at the small dirt bag on the ground, this is dust to dust, the corpse of the howling wind dragon will be turned into a hundred times more nutrients, so that the local cherry blossom trees will bloom...... String the stage, let the local crops grow better, dragon corpses are a natural expense, no need to rack your brains to collect manure for fertilizer.
After finishing the work, Melina went out and called out to Georgia.
The little Georgian mayor, dressed only in a winter coat, walked over. She took a suppressed step of excitement, controlled the pace of wanting to jump, walked ladylike steps like a girl pretending to be mature, and after a step or two, she stopped pretending to be and stepped forward quickly.
"Did you banish the dragons?"
"Yes, your commission has been completed, and your voice and will have been served..."Melina covered her face with an umbrella, "... Please settle the final payment. ”
This is not a formal commission, but more akin to private work.
Not every place has an explorer's guild, and emergency entrustment is like this kind of small matter caused by ecological changes, which is generally done privately, and as long as the tacit understanding between the two parties is sufficient, there will be no market problems.
In other words, if you repay your debts, you can only take legal means other than admitting that you are unlucky and will never accept the commission next time.
The mayor of the town has no intention of defaulting.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a purse in the style of a clockwork cat, a furry look that little girls liked and had a certain space expansion effect, which was a clockwork secret. This fluffy and spatially expansive wallet can only be made by clockwork cats, and it is said that it uses the technology of a magical creature called a cat lamp, a relative of the clockwork cats.
“… 2 gold lei. ”
Georgia's purse contains golden leu, as well as some gems and leu coupons. Numerically speaking, it is by no means poor. But it's definitely not rich for a town mayor. She counted out two golden leas a little distressed and placed them in Melina's outstretched palm.
Confirm the weight, feel the temperature, and taste the precipitation from the golden brilliance......
So beautiful.
Kim Leu!
Melina made the sound of boiling water in her mind, like Sonia. Quietly withdrawing her hand, she quickly swallowed Kim Ley into her stomach as Georgia lowered her head and put her wallet back. Banshees are roughly divided into seven subspecies of the Seven Original Sins, and Melina's main focus is on all seven Sins, but they are mainly greedy and have the ability to store gold lei and gems in the stomach.
Equivalent to a private portable bank, with a floating interest rate of up to 3.75 per annum - it is true, the specially constructed greedy magic factor allows Melina to 'create gold leu' when the time is reached.
"Townspeople, please go in and set up your quarters at once, the gatherers go first, set up... Hmm, arrange..."The mayor of the town tucked the megaphone under his arm, pulled out a small notebook from his thick clothes, and glanced at it, "Arrange the mummy dust sigil!" Plug in the torches according to the trees at the entrance two, exit four, and center one, and then sprinkle the powder prepared yesterday into the torch evenly! ”
Mummy Dust Sigil, to be precise, is called Mummy Cat Soul Sigil. The effect is to summon six spirit mummy cats, which will patrol all the time and expel some weak wolves, dogs, spiny hedgehogs, sea urchin slimes and other monsters that are lethal to ordinary people, and can also communicate with the clockwork cat dumplings...
Wealthier towns will build Banshee buildings to do the same.
But Liangpu Town is poor, so it's good to use it like this.
This is also Melina's advice to the mayor of the town.
Seeing that she used them all, Melina, as a qualified alchemist and mystical scholar, must also be reminded to provide a little after-sales.
"Remember, on the last day of the week, the dust is replenished, and when the sky crosses the red Totoro, add 30% when the white Totoro crosses, and double when the black Totoro crosses. If there is no My Neighbor Totoro crossing, it can be replenished normally. ”
The mayor took out his notebook and wrote it all down.
My Neighbor Totoro is a special constellation that can appear in every area on weekend nights, symbolizing "Dancer, Dominance and Authority", and although the secondary criteria are the same as Stag, My Neighbor Totoro is special in that it is a star that changes color.
In the white-faced form, it is greedy, in the red-warm form, it is angry, and in the black cat form, it is 'you coax me'.
It is a very troublesome star, but in exchange, when this kind of troublesome star appears, all the runes carrying [Cat Modifiers] will be made smoothly, and occasionally special effects will be triggered, and crops grown in the wild have a certain probability of becoming [Cat Plants], which is the main material of the potions that rookie explorers can rarely obtain in the early stage to enhance dodge and movement ability.
At the same time, the clockwork cat will also have a booze festival on this day, which is a rare opportunity to pick out the gold leu from the hands of the cat who picks the door.
"I've benefited a lot from your knowledge, can I treat you to dinner? As a token of gratitude, and... Hope to learn more from you. ”
Georgia put away the notebook contentedly, her big golden eyes sparkling.
"Of course, Sister Georgia."
Melina hid her face under the umbrella to avoid being seen by the other party as a disgusting expression of a precious cat. But I thought that I could rub it in vain, and my mood turned from yin to yang in half a second!
