Chapter 36: The Money-Making Plan in Belgost

After killing the four spiders, Pan Long searched the house inside and out, plugged a hole, and cleaned the cobwebs and eggs in the cellar.

During the cleanup, he saw an unlucky dog entangled in a spider's web, which had been eaten up by the spiders, leaving only a skin.

Fortunately, there was no sign of anyone being killed.

Where did these weird spiders come from? He almost knew it in his mind - the hole obviously didn't look like it was naturally generated, and someone had secretly dug the hole and put them in for fear that someone had a grudge against the Landlyns.

But he still has one more question: these spiders are extremely threatening to the average person. Since the man had the ability to catch them and stuff them into the hole, why didn't he just take matters into his own hands and kill the old man and the old woman?

It's a pity that he's a barbarian, not the great detective of Chanem, otherwise he must find out!

After cleaning up the annoying spiders thoroughly, he took the old boots, the old wine, and the corpses of the spiders that she had been longing for and put them into the wooden box on the car, as the old lady had instructed.

"Watch my box. He gave a word of advice to the man at the inn, and received an affirmative reply, before going to the Felder Hotel.

It took him ten minutes to learn the whole story from the innkeeper - basically, a female magician who hid her identity and tricked three stupid merchants into buying so-called "gems" under the pretext of doing business, and then killed them.

"I have witnesses. "Her men, a bard named Garrick, is in prison by the sheriff, and he can act as a witness." ”

"That poet didn't run away?" Pan Long wondered a little - he had vaguely remembered the plot of this mission, but he remembered that he had chosen the good branch in the first place, killing the witch, and by the way, taking in a useless subordinate.

Come to think of it, that "useless subordinate" is probably this Garrick.

This product is really useless, the combat effectiveness is poor, and the support is not good, even stealing - the player has a good thief Aemon who comes out of the house, and he is not needed at all.

It's just that he didn't expect that he couldn't escape, but was caught.

He insisted that he was innocent, but that he had been deceived by a witch, so he refused to run away. Old Felder shook his head, "Who would believe it, everyone knows that the witch hired him to do things, and one mouth is three hundred gold coins." Three hundred gold coins! You don't need so much money to kill three people!"

He sighed and asked, "Are you going to see him?" I have some friendship with the sheriff, and I should be able to get him to allow you to see him. ”

Pan Long didn't go to see him! That useless guy must have been fooled. Otherwise, how could he not run! The bard is not a paladin or a noble knight, so there is no reason to risk his life for the sake of honor.

In other words, the specialty of bards is negotiation and bluffing, and this product will be fooled by people in turn, which is really a shame for the bard's profession!

A fooled fool, how can he have the information of a liar? Just kidding!

But Garrick still contributed, and with the help of a magic scroll, he drew the face of Silke Rosanna in his memory, which served as an important proof of the wanted criminal.

The hapless bard was able not to be hanged because of such a small merit.

But the sheriff also said that if no one could get Rosanna back within three months, then sorry, Garrick would still be hanged as one of the murderers of the merchant.

Although, he didn't actually do it at all.

The official word has two mouths, and this principle is the same in any world.

When Pan Long decided to go after Roshana, he was also given a portrait of Roshana, which had been copied many times and given to several adventurer squads that had official partnerships with Baldur's Gate. But how many people are willing to do this business is a big question mark.

Broke out in the town, killing three people in one go, and escaping before the guards arrived...... Criminals who can do this kind of thing, even if they don't know magic, are definitely not easy to deal with.

Not to mention that Rosanna was also a powerful magician, according to eyewitnesses at the time, she even used only one spell, and with the lightning of jumping, the three merchants turned into three corpses.

Hunting down such criminals is easier said than done!

And that's not all, she's also a famous musician, and maybe she's got the protection of a nobleman just because of her artistic talent.

What is the point of killing three merchants?

Seasoned adventurers are realistic, and for them, human life is just a measurable commodity.

Pan Long was not unaware of these considerations, but he was not interested in the thoughts of those "seasoned adventurers" who had lost their sharpness, and he was more interested in the other two issues in comparison.

The first question: why did Rosanna commit such a crime? She was a famous musician, she was an actress, and she was a powerful magician. With her abilities, it is easy to enter high society. For such a person, for the sake of a not very large sum of money, to kill three businessmen who are not very rich in public is simply insane!

Pan Long thought about it for a long time, and finally tentatively decided that she was a neurotic. Anyway, the neuropathy of this world...... That's really a lot, and it doesn't matter if there's one more of her.

The second question: What benefits can you get from Belgoust?

There are still a lot of good things in this town. But he was a little late, and many of the things that could be easily reached were gone.

For example, there was supposed to be a man wearing a magic cloak at the Felder Hotel, which not only increased her charm stats, but also cast a charm once a day - but this person had already left Belgost.

For example, there was a paladin who wanted revenge for killing them all because he was defeated by a group of ogres, and Pan Long also asked about it, and the innkeeper said that the paladin had gone out two days ago and never came back - probably killed by the ogre.

Similarly, there is a thief who claims that his boots were snatched by a goblin. His boots had been snatched back, but because he was too untraveling, the dwarven adventurer who snatched his boots back hacked him to death with an axe and fled.

There is also a certain woman's husband who went out, and it seems that the game is sending a letter back, but the messenger is killed on the way. As a result, when I inquired at the hotel, my husband had already returned home yesterday, and it seemed that it was said that Baldur's Gate and Amm were going to war, and he was not worried about his wife, so he came back.

The only mission that can still be taken is the order of the Losanda church to hunt down a traitor named "Basilus". The price is very high, you can buy a dimensional bag for a mission, and it's not the lowest, it's the kind that is a little more advanced and can hold more things. However, this mission is also specifically marked as "extremely dangerous", and it is said that two teams of adventurers have gone to look for this person, and none of them have returned yet.

In addition, the Flaming Fist mercenary group is looking for bandits who are making waves in the area, and they have set up a point at the "Happy Entertainer" hotel, where anyone can go to them for a reward of 50 gold for killing a person with a voucher for killing a robber.

Basilus is strong enough to make both adventurer squads go without returning, and Pan Long doesn't want to provoke, but kills the robbers...... Just what he wants!

After packing his luggage and driving the carriage, he first went back to the Arms of Friendship Hotel and handed over the things to the old lady Landlin, especially emphasizing the matter of "someone digging a hole and letting the spider come to your house", and received the old lady's thanks and the agreed reward. Then he returned to Belgoust, got a few empty chests, piled them with fake stones, covered them with curtains, and disguised himself as a merchant transporting iron ore.

It worked, and he had been walking for less than an hour, and he could even see the bell tower in the town of Belgoust from afar, when he saw a group of men in black leather armor outflanking him.

"Is it a robber?" he reined in and asked in a loud voice, "I'm just transporting iron ore, and I don't have any money!"

"Leave the iron ore behind, and it will spare your life. A robber replied.

Pan Long smiled: "You are quite kind. But I lost this truckload of iron ore, and I'm going to go bankrupt when I go back. Is there a big difference between me committing suicide and being killed by you?"

Without waiting for the robbers to answer, he continued: "Well, there is a difference. If you commit suicide in bankruptcy, you can at least arrange the aftermath first. ”

"You guys, you're really 'merciful'!"

Before the words fell, a sharp arrow had already shot at the front door.

Pan Long stretched out his hand, caught the sharp arrow in the air, and then directly picked up the longbow placed next to the seat, opened the bow and shot, a string sounded, the arrow broke through the air, and the robber who had just shot at him covered his throat, made a "gurgling" sound, and fell down.

"I'm not as fake as you. Pan Long jumped down from his seat, hung the quiver beside him, and as he spoke, he opened his bow and arrows, shooting arrow after arrow, "I am here to exterminate you, your so-called 'mercy', it is better to wait until you die to tell the merchants who were robbed and killed by you!"

He shoots arrows very fast, one almost every second. For Northland boys, this kind of archery in a short distance and open terrain is as simple as eating and drinking.

Promoted to level six, he saved a total of two freely distributed weapon proficiency points, and added a point to the longbow to increase the longbow proficiency to three stars - this is the limit of the "barbarian" profession, unless it is talented, the character of this profession can only increase the weapon proficiency to three stars.

But three stars are already very high, and if it is converted into the Kyushu world, there is no martial arts inheritance that breaks through the innate difficulty, and it is just this level of practice to the limit.

For example, the sword technique handed down by Han Feng's family, even if it has been modified and perfected for several generations, it can only reach three stars in the sky.

The Pan family's iron palm was also at this level before his grandfather Pan Shou. However, after the modification and improvement of the two generations of innate masters of Pan Shou and Pan Lei, it added the most important content of internal and external integration, breaking through the knack, and integrating with the internal strength of the Pan family, and cultivating both inside and outside, which can be regarded as innate martial arts.

After all, Pan Long is young and lacks accumulation. If it were Pan Shou or Pan Lei, their empty-handed combat would definitely be five-star!

As for the higher...... According to the original battle between Shalofok and Grean, the innate masters are already extremely powerful figures in this world, such as the Iron Palm Pan Lei (the left-handed sword Jin Biao), the King of the Nine Mountains, He Taiping, etc., and they definitely have the strength of the legendary level, and it is actually not interesting to consider it higher.

At the very least, killing these thieves, a three-star longbow is enough.
