Chapter 038: Anglers Know Everything Except How to Fish
The sleeping rat was finally taken out to play by Chen Zhou in the "secret method pocket".
White Eagle Harbor, which is more than ten miles away from Blossom Harbor, has different waters from Haichao Town, so he rented some reliable fishing gear, completely forgot about the task assigned by President Langton, and happily went to the water's edge to fish.
By the way, find some opportunities to practice your new spells.
For example, if you stay near the water, you will finish the nest and send a "healing sound" to the surface of the water that causes sonic damage?
That's probably not how this magic works......
And when Chen Zhou came to the beach, he unexpectedly met Wright, the son of a fisherman who had also taken over the task of guarding before, who was in a daze on the beach with a harpoon that had killed the kobold, looking like he was thinking about life.
"Wright, are you on vacation?"
Although the captain of the guard tried his best to invite himself and tried to form a team of mercenaries, Chen Zhou had not been in contact with them since he left the guard team yesterday.
Hearing a slightly familiar voice, Wright, who was in a daze, turned his head with an indescribably haggard expression.
"My hair is dead, I'm not in the mood for the past two days." John's death at the hands of the kobold caused him a great mental shock, "Maybe we shouldn't have been adventurers in the first place." ”
Mingming decided to create a career before leaving home, but he died ridiculously at the hands of a monster in less than a week.
He didn't know how he would tell the other party's family about it after he returned to Fanhuagang, and he didn't even know if he would be able to return to Fanhuagang alive.
He and John's family are still waiting for money.
"People have to look forward."
Chen Zhou didn't say much, but just caught a fish on his own.
In fact, he also thought about whether the other party would have had a different ending if he hadn't stuffed the skate blade into John's hand at that time.
If he were stricter, he felt that he was more or less responsible for the other party's death...... About 5%.
But adventurers and mercenaries are such professions that gamble their lives to make money.
This magical, fantastic and magnificent otherworld, it is really not as good as a peaceful earth.
No, there are also many countries on the earth that are in the midst of war, and only Huaxu, where Chen Zhou is located, is peaceful and powerful.
And this peace is also based on the unsung sacrifices.
If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are poor and weak, you can't take care of too much of it.
"What is the value of mortal life? It's just two hundred gold coins."
Jerry seems to be saying some strange dream words.
Assuming that a civilian has a lifespan of 50 years and a monthly salary of 1-2 gold coins, the gold coins he can earn in his life will not be only 200 gold coins.
As for how much is left, that's another matter, because there is still the concept of "taxes" in the world.
The citizens of the Kingdom of Carlos pay an annual tithe, but this is only the most basic tax.
In addition, there are land tax, land tax, agricultural tax, forestry tax, asset tax, inheritance tax, and so on.
Adventurers have to pay an annual fee, and the reward is partly drawn by the guild and part by the lord.
The nobles were able to reduce some of their ...... But only on the surface, the estates of the nobility are also large tax collectors.
In addition to this, the nobility was also obliged to maintain decency, which brought with it a huge amount of additional expenses.
Spellcasters are equal to nobles in all countries, and Carlos is no exception, but spellcasters also have to pay spellcasting taxes and magic taxes.
Just highlight a death with the inevitability of taxes.
By the way, it is not easy to go to the kingdom of God after death and become a praying person, of course, at least it is better than going to the lower realm to be used as currency and even fuel by demons and demons......
Just when Chen Zhou was sitting on the beach and using his mysterious attraction to make a nest, by the way, his mind was imagining.
Wright always looked at the sea, his expression as cloudy as the weather today.
In the end, he clenched his hands and made up his mind to make some kind of decision: "I have no choice but to go to be a soldier under Baron Adolf!" ”
Joining the army includes room and board, a salary, and money can be sent to yourself and John's family.
The only prerequisite is to show sufficient value.
Wright is a good swimmer, has some talent for longarms, and after training with the members of the guild for a while, he became a warrior, or at least a professional.
The experience of killing kobolds and surviving the attack is also a good capital.
Compared with Chen Zhou, it was a world of difference, but compared with the group of ordinary civilians who might not have even seen blood, it was definitely more than enough.
"I think you should think about it again."
Chen Zhou kindly reminded: "After the night of the fishmen, the Kou Tao fishmen snatched the warships of Fanhua Harbor, which will inevitably pose a threat to the coastal area in the future. There is also a smell of gunsmoke between the Lady of Flowers and Baron Adolf, who has lost the most force, not to mention that the Kingdom of Gagilan next door has been in turmoil recently, and there may be a war......"
The joyful thieves of Voridamara are watching in the shadows with the intention of stealing the kingdom of Carlos.
And the kobold's revelations, the threat of the undead are also unsettling.
Becoming a soldier at this time of convergence is definitely a terrible choice, and you may die faster than the adventurer.
In the face of Chen Zhou's kindness, Wright shook his head helplessly, how could he, who loves gossip, not know these rumors, but he had no choice.
"Tom, can I ask you to do me a favor." He thought twice and pleaded, "Help me bring the money I used to work as a guard and my salary as a soldier back to Blossom Harbor and give it to my and John's families." ”
This also includes John's salary, funeral expenses, and pensions.
"You're not afraid that I'll run away with your money?" Chen Zhou was puzzled, the importance of such a large sum of money to the other party was self-evident.
"I don't think you're like the rumored orcs, you're a trustworthy person."
In other words, Wright felt that the other party was a good person.
Before committing an act that destroys this impression, it is naturally easy for a warlock to gain the favor and trust of others.
And at this time of year, the average messenger is not very trustworthy - let's make it to the Flower Harbor alive before anything else.
"Yes, I'll bring you the money when I get back.
"After that, when you go to sign up for the army, you can also go to the White Eagle Rest and call me, I also plan to inspect the treatment of the White Eagle Harbor, and if it is suitable, I will also find a long-term meal ticket here."
This is a lie, mainly to observe the chances of Baron Adolf going to war with the Lady of Flowers.
After making an appointment, Chen Zhou, who had made a good nest, began to concentrate on fishing, and did not say anything more to Wright.
On the contrary, the latter chattered and told him many secrets.
Obviously, he has just come to Haichao Town for one night, and the other party has already heard a heavy gossip-
Baron Adolphus mobilizes his forces and decides to fight the Koutao Fish-Man tribe and rescue Alphonse Dafez!
Nearly three weeks have passed since the night of the Fish-Man, and Alphonse's fate is still unknown.
Was this done to raid Blossom Harbor, or was it for the gratitude of the warships of Blossom Harbor and the Dafis family?
