Chapter 2: Red Eyes

GLP Town, Adventurer Street.

The shops around are almost all adventurers, weapon shops, enchantment shops, taverns, style shops, material shops, casinos, and potion shops

There is an endless stream of adventurers coming and going, in groups of three or five. Those in leather armor and armor, with short swords and machetes at their waists, and bows, swords, and hammers on their backs. There are also a few adventurers who ride monsters and walk on the street with their heads held high, and often encounter this kind of monster mounts, and everyone will tacitly get out of the way.

It's not enough to be afraid of monsters, but where are adventurers who lick blood from the knife edge and kill monsters every day be afraid of prey?

They are mainly afraid of getting into trouble.

If you can have a monster mount, the first prerequisite is to be able to afford the contract. Otherwise, it's just a monster, an intermediate monster can't be beaten, and an ordinary low-level monster can't be beaten?

It's because the price of the contract book is very expensive and relatively rare, and the contract book that can contract low-level monsters, generally speaking, it can only be made by an intermediate spellcaster + proficient in low-level contract arts, and neither of these two conditions is simple, especially the former. Intermediate spellcasters can easily obtain noble heads and even territories in any human country, and the lower contract spell is a relatively rare spell among the second-ring spells, and its value is basically the same as that of ordinary three-ring spells.

A striking procession appeared on the streets of the Adventurer's Street, five people, four men and one woman, all wearing armor and weapons with subtle magical enchanted equipment, and what was remarkable was that they were all riding a cyan giant wolf under their seats.

These cyan wolves are very similar to the monster wind wolves. The wind wolf is an adult third-level monster, with a spell-like ability 'Wind Blade', but it is a little different from the ordinary wind wolf in the early three meters, the wind wolf under the seat of these five adventurers is larger, almost close to four meters, and it is even bigger than a bison, and the muscles hidden under the thick cyan fur are constantly wriggling and changing between walking, containing amazing explosive power.

"Is this the Storm Wolf?" On the side of the street, the pupils of the well-informed and experienced adventurers shrank slightly, and their bodies couldn't help but take a few steps backwards, avoiding the pedestrian from afar.

An adventurer who was chatting with him saw the appearance of his companion, and subconsciously hid farther away, and asked curiously,

"Aren't those wind wolves, looking bigger, they should be the elite individuals among the wind wolves. What kind of monster are you talking about? ”

The experienced adventurer watched the group walk away before rolling his eyes at his companion and said proudly, "So you don't know much, the storm wolf is not a monster from the dark forest, but a powerful wolf monster from the far north.

This monster can reach level 6 when it reaches adulthood! It's not a third-level wind wolf cub that can be compared, next time I take you to the north, don't rush up stupidly when you see this cyan giant wolf, every year there are some rookie adventurers from other places who die miserably because they recognize the storm wolf as the wind wolf. ”

The companion's eyes widened, and there were only four words in his mind, 'Sixth-level Monster'!

Sixth-level monsters can crusade against adventurers who hunt monsters of this level, without exception are real elites, the vast majority of adventurers encounter monsters of this level, basically can only wait for death, if you want to live, it often depends on how many companions there are and whether you can run faster than your companions.

In this way, when the monster is full or killed, it may not be able to control you.

"It's quite lively here." The middle-aged man riding the largest storm wolf looked around and was a little surprised,

"According to the information given by the employer, this place was just a wasteland a year and a half ago, it seems that the Silgrinder family behind it is not simple."

"I feel like we've got a very troublesome commission." The only female adventurer in the five-person team said with a frown.

"Sister Marsie, we are a member of the Wolf Adventure Group, even the dangerous task of defeating high-level monsters can be successfully completed, the Hirgrindand family is just a new earl family, or in a backward southern principality, and not an imperial earl, you are too careful."

A young man in the team with short beautiful purple hair and a black dagger in his left palm was spinning and playing around.

"Orsay, it's not wrong to be careful, have you forgotten the previous lesson?" Marcie said lightly.

The lesson she said was that half a year ago they took over an intermediate commission 'hunting human-faced spider' task, I thought it was very simple, but I didn't expect the Olympiad to fall into the trap of the human-faced spider, and the body was highly poisonous, and almost burped, and this could have been avoided, just because of carelessness.

Marcie's words reminded Orsay of the fear of being dominated by human-faced spiders, and his face darkened, and he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Okay, don't talk big when the mission starts, and be careful with your eyes and ears." The middle-aged head spoke.

Their conversation just now was limited to a certain range around them, and when the adventurers on the side looked at them, they could only see that all five of them had their mouths closed and their expressions were indifferent.

This is the simple use of the two zero-ring tricks silence and confusion, and the spell is cast by the short-looking Zhengtai mage in the team.

In fact, this Zhengtai Master is already in his forties. As for the reason for Zhengtai's appearance, it is because he is a rare halfling mage.

Specifically, it is the tall halfling of the three major subspecies of halflings, and the other two subspecies, hairy-footed halflings and sturdy halflings, are very short, and they are only one meter tall when they are adults. The tall halfling subspecies can reach one meter two in adulthood, and is also the closest to the human subspecies in appearance.

And the reason why halfling mages are rare is because the physical talent of halflings is very suitable for becoming rangers and thieves. Of course, the largest number of halflings are the halfling chefs, almost every halfling is irresistible to food, and in order to be able to eat food at all times, they usually teach themselves a superb cooking skill.

Many nobles who were looking for decency and good food were more than happy to hire a halfling cook.

Half an hour later.

The five members of the Wolf Adventure Group regrouped together and told the news they had found in their investigation.

"The prices of the weapons and equipment sold by their weapons shop are indeed very affordable, and I suspect that the Silgrinder family has a number of high-quality ore veins, and they are not too far away, and the transportation cost is very low."

"The price of equipment enchantment in the enchantment shop is about the same as in other towns."

"There's a lot of monster blood in the tavern. But it seems normal, given the proximity to the Dark Forest. ”

"I found that the price of materials in their material store is slightly lower than in other places, and their pharmacy store

"I made a big discovery, they opened a style shop that has half human beings in it! And it's not the kind of hairy-footed halfling with a lot of body hair on their hands and feet, and a muscular halfling like a dwarf, but a tall halfling like Ruiz, who is as cute as Ruiz, one meter two, with a slap face, fair skin, and wearing a tattered thief's uniform, which is so cute that the service price is a little expensive. ”

The temperature suddenly became hot.

Osai, who had been talking, stiffened his face and quickly closed his mouth. Because the tip of his companion's staff, the tall halfling Ryze, had turned red, and the tiny fiery serpent was swimming, and under the light of the fiery serpent, Ruiz's lovely Shota face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was the Olympian or the fire.

"Ahem, Olympiad, you don't apologize quickly!" The middle-aged leader spoke, and then looked at Ruiz, "Orsay is this kind of hippie smiling character, there is absolutely no idea of insulting you halflings, Ruiz, don't take it to heart"

Osai also realized that he had said the wrong thing with this mouth, and quickly slapped himself twice, laughing with remorse, "My fault, my fault." ”

"Okay, don't fan yourself, I'm a little emotional." Halfling mage Ruiz finished preparing the spell and sighed, his tone a little lonely,

"We halflings don't have our own country, we can only live in the country of other races, this kind of thing is normal, without this, those halflings who have no talent and can't follow the career path will only starve to death or be even more miserable"

"Haha, why is the atmosphere so wrong, okay, okay, let's go to the tavern for a drink, I'm in for a treat today." The head of the regiment snorted and simply skipped the matter.

In the evening, the regimental commander secretly pulled Orsay out alone.

"Commander, what are you?" Osai drank a little wine, his face was slightly red, and he looked at the head of the regiment suspiciously.

With a small beard, he looked at the forty-year-old regiment commander and coughed, and after looking left and right, he quietly approached Ossay's ear and asked,

"What's the name of that shop?"

"What?" Olympiad's pupils widened, and he didn't react for a moment.

"Don't pretend, you kid, of course there's a halfling shop," the head muttered quietly.

Osai reacted this time, he looked at the regiment commander in disbelief, obviously not expecting the regiment commander to be this kind of person

"Eh, where are you going if you don't answer me?"

"Aren't you going to find a halfling, let's go together." Orsay turned around and rolled his eyes.

The head of the regiment hesitated, "Together?" Can you bear it, that little body of a halfling."

“?” Osai looked at the head of the group with a strange expression, "Head of the group, you are so perverted, I didn't want to be a fellow disciple with you." ”

"Get out." The regiment leader blushed and cursed.

"By the way, I'll finish it later, and I'll continue the task tomorrow, this time the employer gives a very high commission, and it will be easy to complete this task for several months."

Outside the town of GLP, an earthy castle stands high on the slopes of the wasteland.

The castle is called Wittburg, and it is the castle that was built after the mage Witt.

The castle occupies a small area, only a few hundred acres of land.

Because it was night, the castle was full of torches burning with pine resin, a small crackling sound, a faint smell of pine, and a slight night breeze.

At this time, in the study, Witt sat on a wooden chair wrapped in blue animal skin, listening to the thief scout in leather armor in front of him report the news.

"Let me confirm again, are you sure it's a sixth-level monster storm wolf?" Witt's tone was serious.

"The subordinates guarantee the absolute reliability of the news with their lives." The thief looked serious.

Witt nodded and waved him away.

After the thieves left, Witt poured himself a glass of scarlet monster blood wine, and felt the stimulation of his stomach, and he exhaled slightly.

"Recently, more and more powerful adventurers have been pouring into GLP Town, which is not good." Witt's brow furrowed slightly, a little worried.

At first, Witt was very happy when he encountered this situation, because the more adventurers and the stronger they were, the greater the benefits to the territory. But now, with the increase in the number of adventurers and the appearance of many strange powerhouses, Witt's pressure suddenly increased, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"There is a team of twenty dragon-blooded warriors in the castle, and more than three hundred ordinary warriors, if something happens, it should be." Witt pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were firm, "No, GLP Town is a bridgehead between the family and the Dark Forest, and it is also an important force that covers up the attention of Lange Village, so we must not afford to lose it!" ”

Witt took out the magic crystal from his bosom and sent a message from GLP asking for help.

Mountain-walled dragon's nest.

The huge and wide space of the dragon's nest is dotted with many beautiful glowing crystals, and in addition, there are huge murals carved on the walls on both sides, in which a majestic black dragon appears very frequently.

These murals were carved by one of the new maids who arrived more than a year ago, and it took nearly a year for one of them to carve.

In her words, the place where the owner lives should not be too simple.

Although he knew that he was deliberately currying favor with himself, Udi enjoyed this flattery very much, so he rewarded the maid with a lot of dragon blood.

At this time, inside the dragon's lair, on the throne of the Thorn Stone, there were a large number of tall and beautiful dragonborn maids standing in each row on the left and right.

A black dragon larger than a newly-grown red dragon crawled and cramped, and the huge dragon head with two pairs of curved dragon horns in front and back lifted slightly, opened its pupils, and looked at Shi Ji standing below.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Master, there are three things, the first thing is that Caladan reported that the conflict between the monster warriors and the centaurs in the territory of the Black Blood Valley has intensified recently, although both sides have refrained from killing each other's warriors, but there are many of them with mutilated limbs, Caladan asked me to ask you how and what attitude you should use to deal with the centaurs."

"Are the centaurs starting to stop again?" Udi was thoughtful, but didn't think anything was wrong.

At the beginning, close to 100,000 centaurs settled in the dark forest, they must have to grab enough resources and land for development, and the territory around the Black Blood Valley has been managed by the monster clans for several years, and the poisonous insects, snakes, ants and some harsh environments have been solved, which is very suitable for ordinary creatures to live in, coupled with the natural easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack environment of the Black Blood Valley, the centaurs must have been red for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the Black Blood Valley had been in the name of the Queen of Darkness, and it had been replaced by an ordinary force, it would have been eaten and wiped clean more than a year ago.

"Let Caladan shrink his forces and appropriately cede some marginal territories, these centaurs are probably also forced to be in a hurry, if you don't throw a few bones at them, maybe you will really go up, and then our losses will be even greater." Udi said slowly.

For more than a year, the Black Blood Valley revealed information about many centaur tribes to Roy, who in turn sold them to adventurers for a high price, and then a large number of adventurers poured into the dark forest, hunting down centaurs one by one.

And in addition to Roy, there are at least dozens of noble territories on the frontier of the wasteland who have issued missions to hunt centaurs, attracting many adventurers who lick the blood from the knife edge. These adventurers are not only humans, but also halflings, gnomes, half-orcs, half-elves, and dwarves.

It was the influx of a large number of adventurers that made the centaurs overwhelmed, even if they killed batch after batch of adventurers in a bloody and cruel manner, and hung their corpses on trees to dry, but it could only be alleviated for a while, and after a while, more adventurers still poured into the dark forest.

No way, a centaur warrior's head bounty is now twenty gold coins. And if it is the head of a centaur woman and child, the price is as high as thirty!
