Chapter 488 Side hustle and extra money
Locke asked for the mission to be completed by November because he had to go home at the end of December to spend the New Year with some women.
Angelina sent a message from Santa that he should take time to go this year, and strangely told him to prepare some gifts.
Gifts?To Magician Kayla and Magician Ashar?When Locke went to the Holy Tower in April this year, didn't he just give Magician Kayla a precious light-based superlative energy crystal, and Magician Ashar's newly seized magic books.
Locke scratched his head, not quite understanding what Angelina's magical message meant.
In the past two days, in a dark cave deep in the dense forest, Locke and the others finally blocked the prey of this trip.
The five-eyed tarantula king's 'click, click' action of waving his fangs did not scare the five first-class knights.
And from the human eyes of the tarantula web, Locke sees the words fear and anxiety.
Behind the tarantula king are two female tarantulas that are one size smaller, and beyond that, a group of even smaller ordinary tarantulas, the size of calves.
"Twelve five-eyed tarantulas seem to have their eyes together, this time I'll go first?" Playing with a waning moon scimitar in his hand, Jean played a beautiful knife flower.
The fighting spirit that erupted from the sword light showed the wonder of death.
"Whatever you want, let's make a quick decision!" said Shelley, indifferently.
One first-order demonic beast, two quasi-second-level demonic beasts, plus more than ten high-level demonic beasts, she really didn't pay attention to it.
Jean stopped talking nonsense and rushed forward with knives in both hands, followed by Arnold and Hals, the tacit understanding they had cultivated over the years of mission, so that they didn't care whether the opponent in front of them was strong or weak.
One-on-one, equal dueling? Don't joke, this virtue, which was popular among knights, was only exaggerated and flattered by the aristocracy.
There really is such a knight of high moral character, Locke dares to guarantee that he will definitely live soon.
The menacing Jean trio rushed forward in a zigzag shape, this is a standard triangular formation, offensive and defensive complementary, dealing with more than a dozen weak demonic beasts, quite like killing chickens with a knife.
Locke and Shelley were not idle, one hid in the darkness to watch out for possible variables around them, and the other flew out of the cave to 'look out of the wind'.
"My five-eyed tarantula family is protected by the Flame Lions, and the knights of your knight hall are not qualified to kill us!" The life-threatening blade was in front of him, and the five-eyed tarantula king did not rise up to resist at the first time, but argued in annoyance.
"Hmph, the family led by a mere first-order demonic beast, if you know each other, you can hand over twelve eyeballs, and you can still spare your lives. Jean said dismissively.
In order to ensure the multiplicity of species and the benign development of biological evolution on the three western islands, the official has repeatedly banned knights and magicians above the first level from hunting and killing local monsters.
All the quasi-level and above magical beasts that have never harmed humans are the precious biological resources and species gene pools of the Western Three Islands.
The monsters that Locke killed in the past were all guys with criminal records, and they were wanted by the Knights' Palace.
The nature of this mission is somewhat smuggling, opportunistic, and violating the laws of the knight's palace.
That's why Shelley went to the mouth of the cave to 'look at the wind'.
The Saint Tower mage who hired them probably didn't want to take this risk, so he didn't do it himself, but found them through some means.
"What's wrong with the Flame Lion, do you think we're going to be scared of it?" Jean sneered.
The second-level super-level demonic beast Flame Proud Lion is not very threatening in the eyes of a group of outlaws in the Knight Palace, even if things are exposed in the future, what if the Flame Pride Lion finds the Earth Knight Theory of the Knight Hall in the Knight Palace.
Could it be that in order to appease the anger of a super-rank demonic beast, the Knight Hall would turn around and execute five of their official knights?
At most, pay a penalty that will hurt them and give it to the flaming lion, or be thrown directly to the different planes and give the knight hall two years for nothing.
In the three western islands, many laws and decrees are not sound, especially in the circle of strong people above the first level.
Loopholes are common, including the famous Pagoda rule.
Of course, there is a degree in this, you can't go too far, and there are some Warcraft families that you can't take the initiative to provoke, such as those Warcraft groups with second-level super-level Warcraft in charge.
Then there is the kind of hard stubble like the scorpion dragon family settled in the forest of Faustan Murphy, the scorpion dragon lord and his spouse are not easy to mess with, plus that group of quasi-class descendants, if you want to do something to them, you have to gather at least seven or eight first-class knights to be safe.
This also causes that there are very few lone ranger super-level demonic beasts in the major primeval forests of the three western islands.
The value of the quasi-level demonic beasts is not looked down upon by the first-level knights, and the tier-level demonic beasts either form a family in a group, or they are surrounded by a stronger super-level demonic beast group.
The fighting inside the cave is fierce but not dangerous.
Jean's moves were very insidious, and the blade slashed straight at the joints of the five-eyed tarantula king, and the tarantula king's eight pitch-black and sharp claws were chopped off in a moment.
The air was filled with the painful howls of tarantulas and the sour smell of inky blood.
With Hals and Arnold, who are good at attacking and defending, to help Jean, it is only a matter of time before the Five-Eyed Tarantula King is defeated.
The two female five-eyed tarantulas on the other side and a group of ordinary small tarantulas were also not having a good time, and they were casually taken care of by several first-class knights, and they were killed and injured heavily, and on the ground of the cave, a stump and a broken arm.
Five-eyed tarantulas, a magical beast, their specialty is ambush and poison, and a head-on confrontation is not suitable for this group of tarantulas.
After a female five-eyed tarantula was roasted by Hals's fierce fighting spirit, the five-eyed tarantula king finally gave up resistance.
"I'm willing to trade twelve eyeballs for our lives!" the Tarantula King suddenly shouted as Jean's sword slashed in front of the door for a second.
The three knights, Jean, Hals, and Arnold, stopped, and looked at each other, you look at me, and I look at you.
The quality of the eyeballs that the first-level magician of Santa is at least qualified for the Tarantula King and his two mates, and the eyeballs of those ordinary tarantulas are of average value.
The Tarantula King confessed and begged for mercy very simply, it could see that it was effortless for these knights to kill them, not to mention that these three powerful first-class knights could crush them together, and the remaining Locke and Shelley, who did not make a move, also blocked their escape path.
Of the twelve eyeballs, five were taken from the head of the female five-eyed tarantula that had been cut down by Hals, four from the other half-crippled male and female tarantula, and three from the king tarantula himself.
The Tarantula King, who had three more blood holes on the pitch-black brain, opened his eyes with only two of them left after making a deal with this group of knights, and did not dare to show the slightest resentment, and immediately led the remnants of his clan to crawl into the depths of the cave.
"Rustle......rustle" After a while, Locke couldn't feel the breath of this group of beasts.
"This group of guys probably won't dare to come out of the Flame Lion patrol territory for more than a decade. Hals gritted his white teeth and laughed heartlessly.
"Is it really okay not to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" Locke's voice came from the darkness.
"Do you think that when the time comes, if we kill this rank demonic beast five-eyed tarantula, the knight's hall will really not know?" Hals pouted.
"After all, it's a native creature, and unlike those natives of the other plane, you have to be merciful. Arnold chimed in.
They are all ruthless people who have participated in more than two dimensional wars, and they know who to be cruel to and who to tolerate.
As for the struggle and filthiness with individual magician organizations on the East Coast, it is a difference in philosophy and a different position.
"Hey, this time, in addition to the fifty energy crystals that the magician promised, these loot are enough for us to make a small profit. At this moment, Jean's laughter was heard.
On the ground, the corpses of a quasi-rank five-eyed tarantula and several ordinary tarantulas were scattered.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the best crystal nucleus Locke in the skull of this five-eyed tarantula is very interested, and it has both acid and dark energy attributes, and this crystal nucleus is simply tailor-made for the scorpion dragon Fei Mo.
Back at Princeton two weeks later, Gene went to trade with the magician for payment, and Shelley went to the mission hall to submit a contract to complete the 'Harvest of Water and Rotten Ears'.
Going to the dark jungle in the eastern part of the O'Moore Empire to complete the task of 'collecting water and rotting ears' is the main business of their trip in the past two months, helping the magician get twelve five-eyed tarantula eyeballs, which is just their side business and extra money.
The gathering task suitable for first-class knights is not simple, and the water decay ear grows in the extremely corrosive swamp silt pool, and the collector needs to go twenty meters deep into the silt to collect this precious material.
It cannot be completed by a knight of level 1 or higher who does not have a Fighting Shield.
For the sake of these twenty pounds of water decay, Locke and the five of them sank into the deep pool six times on average before completing the task target.
The price is that the vindictive spirit has been lost several times, not to mention, and the body has been stinking for several days.
It is less dangerous, and belongs to the type of task that does not pay well but is barely acceptable.
"I'll go home first, and you can just have someone send it to me as a reward for the task. Locke greeted Hals and walked out of the knight's hall.
"Hey, don't forget to join us in Franza next month!" Hals called out in a loud voice behind him as he reached the door.
This guy hasn't forgotten to invite Locke to play in another country.
Thinking that he didn't have much to do years ago, Locke waved his hand, "Got it." ”
Locke's home.
After practicing and running the eagle fighting spirit in the courtyard, Locke took the towel handed by the maid and wiped the sweat from his body.
"This is this year's earnings statement. Bi Li, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up with an account book.
Locke opened the account book and took a general glance, compared to last year, the Morgan family and other families provided ten percent more energy crystals, Locke showed a satisfied smile.
Morgan and several other business families have helped Locke a lot in the past two years, and the sufficient supply of energy crystals has made Locke's strength rise steadily.
