Chapter 149: A Mysterious Mandate (2)
PS: Thank you for the 'Spring Breeze vs Leaves' book friends for another reward, and the score is strong and three more
"Well, isn't that mission dangerous, as you said, high returns always come with high risks. I don't think this task of delivering goods will be as easy as the previous one. The new stalker, after listening to the description of the orc captain, duly extended the topic.
"Of course, with such a lucrative reward, there may not be a huge danger, and at that time, we suffered heavy losses!" To everyone's expectations, the orc Gila Voji's voice suddenly raised an octave, making his already very loud voice even more deafening.
Several adventurers who were listening carefully around were all taken by this sudden loud noise, and couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands, with painful expressions on their faces, among which the four people sitting at the same table naturally bore the brunt, and the distorted four faces highlighted this.
After Giravoj finished yelling, he ignored the confusion and discomfort on the faces of the people around him, as if he didn't notice the painful expressions of everyone, he still said to himself: "At that time, our former teammate, the stalker, was also killed on the way to that mission. With that, Giravogui looked at the new stalker, and it was clear that he had come in for the dead guy.
"At that time, I don't know why, suddenly a team of adventurers came, you must know that it is the outskirts of a big city, and the security there is generally better than the suburbs. When I met them, it was already the middle of the night, and it was the stalker who was keeping vigil at the time. It was at that time that I attacked and killed him from behind. After all, it was already the middle of the night, and after a tiring day, his vigilance was not much left, and he was killed by their stalkers in the dark. I also thought that there would be no sneak attack there, so I sent him to keep vigil alone, which was really a mistake. The orc captain said with a look of remorse, apparently blaming himself for his decision.
Hearing this, a few people next to him hurriedly comforted: "Captain, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, none of us know where there will be a group of adventurers in ambush, I'm sad that he died, but that's not our fault, he himself agreed at the time." ”
The orc sighed again and again when he heard this, then took another sip of wine, collected his sadness, and continued to speak: "The situation was still very dangerous at that time, we desperately dragged the group of people who sneaked up, and we didn't kill them until the other people who were traveling with us arrived, and the remaining four people in our team were all injured, but fortunately, it wasn't too serious." In this way, with our wounds, we survived the last stretch of the road and then handed over the goods to our employer. ”
The orc concluded: "Overall, although we encountered various situations along the way, and our team also lost one person, we still successfully completed the task, and the client kept his promise and handed us the follow-up payment. ”
"But if that's the case, it won't take half a year, right? From here to the east, even if it's less than two months on foot," this time it wasn't the new stalker who interjected, the voice came from a table behind the orc captain, talking to an adventurer who looked like a hunter. Apparently, he was also one of those people who were eavesdropping on orc stories.
"Yes, if this is the end of the matter, we will not come back so late. In terms of the itinerary, it won't take more than half a year, but what if we make a few round-trips to this route?" said the orc Gila Voji as he looked around, looking very mysterious, and said with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"How many times?" The 'newcomer' stalker on the side let out a low cry of surprise mixed with envy, you know, the task of transporting goods is usually the adventurer to transport things to the destination, and this is also the most common delivery task.
Because most of the employers who find adventurers to transport goods do not have large-scale items to transport, because the big merchants who have this need have their own personal guards or have long-term cooperation with fixed medium and large mercenary groups, and generally do not look for them as low-level adventurers.
But listening to the meaning of the orc's words, it is obvious that this is a big task that goes back and forth on the same route many times at a time, and this is also a big order that most adventurer teams dream of, and even if you are lucky, you can cultivate a fixed large customer, and at least you can get a large amount of honorarium. And because it is transported on the same route, the risk will gradually decrease, and it is always much safer for skilled workers than for new hands.
It's no wonder that the stalker showed a look of surprise and envy, didn't he see that most of the adventurers around him had such expressions on their faces?
When the orc heard the stalker's words, he immediately agreed, and even slapped the table excitedly, but fortunately the table was strong enough not to be broken by the powerful orc: "Yes, I should have thought that the bag of gems is not so easy to take, no one will pay such a large sum of money to let us run once, isn't this telling others, 'The things transported this time are very valuable, come and grab them'." ”
The hunter also blushed a little and continued to ask, "Then how many trips have you made in total?" It seems that this mission is a continuous mission, and it should be possible to do it many times, why did you come back so quickly?" They obviously no longer bothered about why Jiravoji and the others did not continue this mission, this is a rare good thing, they can't ask for a big pie.
Giravoji explained with some regret, "We made three round-trips. It's not that we don't want to keep running, it's that the employer seems to be very cautious, listening to other old people, there is no doubt that the adventurer team can do it more than four times, and most of them are fired by the employer for no reason the third time. By the way, the old adventurer who told me about it was fired on our second trip. ”
"But everyone has nothing to complain about, after all, it is a rare big customer, although he is reluctant to pay a good return, but no one dares to offend this kind of employer, so no one makes a fuss, and we just finished the mission and came back. The orc's expression was a little unfinished, and the surrounding audience did not show disdain, after all, no one who encountered such a rare good thing would not be too good.
The newly joined stalker nodded subconsciously, and then said with some relief: "Well, since that's the case, I can't blame you." After all, it's been half a year, and everyone won't be discussing these outdated news recently. ”
