Chapter 23: Twin Blades (Recommend!Collect!)
The ruins and various treasures left behind by the Ember Era have attracted countless people to run to the Infinite Sea, and these people naturally can't run away to become pirates, after all, most people go to hunt for treasures, not to become One Piece or his man......
Putting aside the people who became the alliance navy, these people are roughly divided into three systems, one is the pirates mentioned above, but the pirates here are officially defined, and they are not all beasts that burn and loot, and the second is adventurers like Lu Jing, who travel through the endless sea, digging out the secrets of the past, and the third is these people in front of them.
Bounty Hunter!
Where there are people, there are naturally all kinds of things to do, and unlike the pirates and adventurers who "die" with the boundless sea, the bounty hunters are a group of people who specialize in "solving problems".
Of course, the premise is to give money.
So many bounty hunters gathered in front of the treasure mansion naturally not to hold any event, in fact, after seeing the sign, Lu Jing realized that these people should be here to take over the task.
In order to better delegate work, it is common to set up task cards in more conspicuous positions on the islands.
"Recently, there has been a riot on the island of rare beasts, and the animals in the breeding farm have been attacked by fierce beasts...... The bounty is 1 gold leaf!"
Lu Jing stood at the back of the crowd, relying on his height to look at the content of the notice, and couldn't help frowning and saying to Xu Xu,
"Now it's troublesome, what do we have to go to the island....... Now that there are so many pairs of eyes, if something happens at that time, it will be easy to get into trouble. ”
The location marked on the treasure map is on the Treasure Beast Island, and the treasure on it is also Lu Jing's first target when he goes to sea, so he naturally doesn't want any accidents.
"This notice says that the beast riots show that the island of the beast is not peaceful now, and if you look around, these bounty hunters gather here and don't act, there must be a reason. ”
Xu Chu was talking, only to see someone pacing out at the front door of the restaurant, still holding a stack of papers in his hand, which looked like a new notice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the fact that many bounty hunter teams have been killed on the Treasure Beast Island, we have decided to increase the bounty again, and there are currently 3 gold leaves!"
After clearing his throat, the people in the treasure building raised the notice in their hands and said loudly,
"Those who are interested in receiving the task can come to me to collect the list, and after completing the task, they can go to our breeding farm on the island of rare beasts to receive the payment. ”
A full triple of bounty!
The bounty hunters waiting outside the door immediately became clamoring, and groups of three or five stepped forward to receive the orders and discussed with each other and left.
"The task of allowing a large number of bounty hunters to lose and forcing Zhen Yulou to directly triple the bounty, these people actually took it without even looking at it, should it be said that their minds are full of guts, or are the ignorant fearless?"
Standing at the back of the crowd, looking at the expressions on the faces of those people as if they had already got the money in their hands, Xu Ji shook his head and said.
"I want to take on this bounty quest too......"
"Ah~ I knew that you would definitely take it, captain, it is your character to face difficulties, and you are really brave and really a man!"
said words of praise on his lips, but Xu Chu's expression was full of ridicule.
"Don't worry, it's just because it's on the way, so take it first, everything is treasured first, and when you get something, you will talk about other things. ”
The treasure map in his hand alone sold for more than 3 gold leaves, and Lu Jing naturally knew what was more important.
"Anyway, bounty hunters don't need a professional certificate, anyway, we have to go to Treasure Beast Island tomorrow, take a look by the way, maybe it will be solved, you must know that if you want to buy a ship from the Shocking Sea Shipyard, you have to prepare at least a hundred gold leaves, which adds up...... Friend, give me a whole picture too!"
"Well, I have to admit that there is a point. ”
Xu Chu shrugged his shoulders, in order to be able to buy a good ship, it is necessary to make money, and the more the better.
In the Shocking Sea Shipyard, the difference between the boat that can be bought with a hundred gold leaves and the boat that can be bought with two hundred gold leaves is expressed in more straightforward words, that is, the difference between a net pocket hammock and a luxury double bed!
In order to improve efficiency, the two decided to go their separate ways, Lu Jing went to buy weapons and equipment, and Xu Chu was responsible for sundries such as insect repellent potions that might be used when going to Rare Beast Island, and inquired about the recent events on Rare Beast Island.
When the two met at the door of the inn where the room had been booked in advance, Xu Chu was carrying a stuffed leather backpack on his back, and looked at Lu Jing in surprise, to be precise, the two knives on his waist.
Look at the style seems to be a complete set, the carved brass handle with the length of an adult's arm blade, not a short knife, and the interesting two knives are not common straight knives, and with some curved arcs, very suitable for chopping, at a glance you know that it is not an ordinary color.
"I thought you'd choose a two-handed long knife with a wide opening and closing, such as a Pu knife or something, as long as you have enough strength to exert your power. ”
When he entered the room in the inn, Xu Xi took things out of his backpack to make sure that nothing was missing, and looked at Lu Jing who was sitting next to him wiping a short knife, "I did say before that knife weapons are novice-friendly...... It's just that these two knives are not the same as the single knives. ”
"You also saw it at noon, so many bounty hunters gathered together, they must maintain or buy new weapons before doing tasks, so when I went to that store, the long knives in good condition were all sold out, and the rest of the ones I couldn't look at, and because the double knives were extremely difficult to use, so the store has not sold this set of well-made double knives, I asked later, and the shopkeeper said that the second half price, 1 gold leaf let me take it!"
Lu Jing took the two short knives in his hands, held the knife flowers slowly, and said with a smile,
"What's more, buying a double knife doesn't mean that you have to use a double knife when fighting, in fact, I have some new ideas recently, and this set of double knives may be able to play an unexpected role." ”
"Well, it's your weapon after all, as long as you feel like it's useful, there's no problem. ”
The choice of weapons is only suitable and not, Lu Jing felt that there was no problem, Xu Xi naturally didn't say anything, but took out a notepad and spread it out, leading the topic to the situation on Treasure Beast Island,
"I met a couple of bounty hunters when I was shopping for something, and I paid some money to get some inside information from them, and the situation on Rare Beast Island is a lot more complicated than we thought. ”
"You're talking about the blood-sucking monster?"
When Lu Jing bought weapons, he also communicated with the shopkeeper, who dealt with bounty hunters all day long, and knew a lot about this matter.
It is rumored that the cause of the beast riot on the island is that there is a bloodthirsty monster roaming the island, not only the bounty hunters, but also the beasts of the island are being hunted on a large scale!
