"It's these stones that make you run away and don't have a brand, tsk. Duchem said, looking at a warehouse of obsidian.

It's this warehouse again, and it's a person who followed me inexplicably when they met for the first time, and Lot was surprised, how could this warehouse elemental stone be so troublesome.

Duchem Lee's inexplicable self-acquaintance made Roth, who had just suffered a loss on Therando, feel uncomfortable, and he didn't believe that the other party couldn't feel it, but it seemed that Duchem didn't care about this kind of thing.

"I've told you and the guild that they'll pay you the commission as normal, but this can only solve the immediate need, not the fundamental problem, right?" Duchem said.

Although the commissioner, that is, the army of Oscar City, has been innocently killed, according to the rules of the Adventurers' Association, if you want to start a commission, you must first deposit the reward in the local guild, so even if the commissioner is gone, as long as the commission is still there, there is no problem.

However, the guild of Oscar City did not want to pay the survivors of this commission, on the grounds that the real requirement of the commission was to solve the threat of the village that could not be purified to the White Eagle Fortress, not just to solve the village, and now that the village is gone, the White Eagle Fortress is also gone [because of the situation caused by that village], and the commission cannot be considered completed.

Under normal circumstances, adventurers are still very united in the face of the guild at such a time, even people who have nothing to do with the commission will help to support, after all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen to them.

But this time is different, the adventurers who happened to go on a mission north of Oscar City on the same day can be said to be one in ten, even if they know in their hearts that Roth and they are also victims, but they still can't help but be angry in their hearts.

After all, it was the reason why Serrando ran away, but if he hadn't run, he might have been lynched by now......

Duchem's helping hand at this point was even more precious, and Roth couldn't say no here even for the sake of a few unlucky people who survived together.

"Because almost the entire north side has been bombed into a pollution-free zone, even if I transport these materials to other nearby cities, I am afraid that I will not be able to sell them at all, so it seems that I can only sell them cheaply. Roth said helplessly.

Duchem nodded and asked, "Lot, how many times the price did you originally plan to sell?"

Roth recalled what he knew of the standards of other merchants, and lowered it down, saying, "Three times the price." ”

Of course, this price will not be the transaction price, there will always be a bargain later, generally set at five times the price, and finally between two and three times the market price, considering the freight, storage costs, risks and time costs, in fact, it is a bit delicate.

However, earning this kind of money is actually challenging the bottom line of all parties, and there is also gossip that some big chambers of commerce will deliberately lose several times a year even if they have the ability to make money all the time, so as to maintain the impression that this line of business is accompanied by risks and returns.

Of course, for Roth's role as a solo traveler, the risk is real.

"If it is set at three times, won't it be impossible to sell twice as much in the end?" said Duchem in amazement, "You are the kind of great good man who is said to have made profits for the country?"

How is this sentence inexplicably ironic......

"I also empathize with how hard the days at the border are, and it is always necessary to master a degree of money from people here. "It's always easy to say pretty things with a fake identity, and Roth doesn't mind earning some impression points in a place like this.

"What if, I mean what if. Duchem asked, looking into Roth's eyes. "If I paid three times the price for all these obsidians, what would you spend that money on? I mean after paying off the debt. ”

Roth looked at the other party in surprise for a while, thought about it for a while, and said, "I will use this money to become an adventurer, buy the best equipment, hire the best teammates, and find a way to make a name for myself." ”

Duchem laughed and said, "Good ambition!"

Influenced by the Qin and Han dynasties' ideas of agriculture and commerce, and the fact that the merchant community was not welcomed for their speculation as a whole, it was not uncommon for merchants to take advantage of the path of adventurers in order to seek social status.

But Roth's quest to be an adventurer as a solo traveler is different from the lower-status children of a large family who are sent to be adventurers.

The former is fighting for his own life, and there is always a ambition, while the latter is more like a sacrifice, even if he can't break into the fame, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he even dies, as long as he can improve the family's impression in the eyes of the world, it is already earned.

After Duchem laughed, he took out a small jade plaque, wrote a few numbers on it with a fighting spirit, and handed it to Roth: "With it, you can spend freely in the adventurer's guild everywhere, but in addition to using it to repay the loan, it can only be used in the property under the adventurer's guild, and it should be a small insurance, so as not to regret it halfway." ”

Should this be called pie in the sky or a blessing in disguise? Roth didn't dare to pick it up for a while.

"What are you hesitating about, you'll take it if you give it to you!" Duchem stuffed the jade plaque into Rot's hand, and then took Rot, who was a little dizzy because of the number on the jade plaque, to go to the city lord to go through the formalities for them personally, and transfer the obsidian in this warehouse to Duchem's name.

"I still have some things to talk about with the city lord, Roth, you can go first. With such a sentence, Roth came back to his senses outside the city lord's study.

The butlers and servants on the side were all respectful to him, so that Roth had to leave as soon as possible.

“...... Tell Joel about it. ”

Seriously, this is a bit of a cry for help, and Roth can't say that he has no objection to it, but this "story" can't just be hidden from Joel, right?

The lord of Oscar City, Hemon Oscar II, was cautiously listening to the orders of Duchem, a pure gold adventurer who was one step away from becoming a nobleman in battle.

"Now that the entire northern border has basically been liberated from the threat of filth, there must be people selling obsidian everywhere, you city lords help me pay attention, I can collect as much as possible, and everyone will be good at that time!"

Oscar II also disregarded his dignity as the emperor of the soil, and nodded to Duchem.

A person of Duchem's status will not worry about money at all, what he really needs is credit, great credit.

In this process, Oscar II can drink even a little soup, it is already very impressive.

What's more, according to the grapevine, this Duchem Lee's master has never taught him, and he is willing to teach further methods only after his apprentice has made corresponding merits, so he can be said to be the most meritorious person among the existing Adamantite level, and there are many benefits to cooperating with him.

Roth, on the other hand, was still in a suspicious state, and tried the brand in the guild, only to find out that it was genuine, and then found a random place to sit down, and began to think hard about whether it was possible that he had revealed some flaws.

Just as he was puzzled, someone suddenly greeted him and said, "Are you calling Roth?"

As soon as Roth looked up, he found that it was the one in the team who used a double sword at that time, and promised, "Of course it's okay...... Sorry, I don't know your name. ”

"My name is Lista, I didn't introduce myself to you at the time, and it's normal that you don't know. Lista said and sat down next to Roth, picked up a piece of roast meat and said, "You don't mind if I eat one, do you?"

Only then did Roth realize that there was a lot of food in front of him, and there was even a bottle of honey wine.

Lista looked at Roth's stunned look and smiled, "What's the surprise? Do you know how big a face your brand has in the Adventurers' Association?"

"I didn't know before, but now I know. Roth was not happy because of this, but was a little entangled, "That's why my heart is even more unsteady." ”

"He's just buying fame, since you have this luck, grab it, there's nothing to be unsteady. Lista shook his head and smiled, "You are quite topical now, and the old bottom is exposed." Not to mention that the name of the little sword saint's master sounds the same, you still have a good relationship with your adoptive father? You borrowed money with the guarantee made by that elder, which is really amazing. ”

Well, it's quite amazing, it's all my own arrangement in advance...... Roth was just rightly embarrassed.

"How are you? How many of the adventurers who participated in that commission survived? My side has been interrogated and has not had a chance to find out. Roth asked.

Lista sighed: "In addition to you and me, among the adventurers, there are also the three who suffered a thousand knives in the Serandor gang, and it can be said that they are all dead. The cold-faced Louie wearing the hood, although the body could not be identified, there was no difference between missing and dead in this case. Noah was brought back by the church, and half of his body was eroded. Liu Wuchang and his team seem to be fine except for the soldier ant, which can be regarded as the fate of Ant-Man. ”

Leviathan slapped the table and said, "Heh, I'm also a no-brand, what are you sad about here! It's all for you to abduct! I asked directly, do you plan to be an adventurer in the future?"

Roth took out the jade plaque, and could clearly feel Leviathan's breathing confusion the moment he saw the jade plaque.

Rott put the jade plaque on the table and asked, "Sure enough, everyone knows about this plaque?"

"Of course, this thing is just a broken brand without the Adventurers' Guild. Leviathan glanced at the jade plaque and the bottle of honey a few times, and then Lot simply handed it to him, so he said happily, "Although I think it is outrageous that you can still want to be an adventurer when you encounter this for the first time you are commissioned, but that's not my business." I just want to ask one thing, do you need teammates with quality and experience?"

Roth put away the jade card and said, "Obviously you are a no-brand?"

"Aren't you the same now, you haven't gone through the formalities yet, have you?" Lista drank half a bottle in one gulp, "As long as you help me turn regular, I'll follow you, okay?"

Luo Teqi said: "This brand has such a great ability? It turns out that it can not only be used for money?"

"Theoretically it doesn't, but in practice it's different, especially before the other person is gone, and that's even more useful. Leviathan shook his bottle, "I think it's a good deal, you don't have to spend a penny to get a strong teammate, how good." ”

Roth said: "Are you a princess selling melons?"

Leviathan reacted: "Well, oh, selling yourself and boasting, right? I think this princess is quite miserable, and selling a melon has been said by you Qin and Han people for hundreds of years." ”

"It's thousands of years. Roth corrected, "Can you tell me how you became unbranded?"

"Isn't that even worse...... Leviathan smiled bitterly, "As for me, I didn't have a brand to avoid trouble, please don't ask what the trouble is, since I want to turn positive now, it is naturally in the past." ”

"It's all over, so can't you turn positive yourself?"

Leviathan drank his wine and said: "The identity of no brand is very evil, you may not be able to understand it if you are too short in time...... When you lose the protection of the law, you also lose the constraints of the law, and if it becomes the norm to make up for it, you will find that your old moral standards suddenly become fragile. This is not an army, there will not be a commander who will supervise you and question you while helping you make up for your mistakes, and that mistake will be made up, as if it is made up, as if it doesn't matter what you do......"

He hadn't drunk much, but what he would never have said was like a floodgate, but he couldn't stop because of the sense of companionship that came from being a survivor of the same incident as Roth? Was it because Roth had been listening carefully, or was it because he didn't want to let go of this opportunity?

Lista couldn't say clearly, but continued: "I knew half a year ago that I didn't need to avoid trouble anymore, but what I needed to turn positive was credit, but I ...... I can't control myself anymore......"

Roth frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean you're not prepared at all?"

"That's not the case!" Lista said excitedly, "As long as I am turned into a normal person first! As long as I am allowed to return to normal society and let me be bound by the law again, I will be absolutely fine! That's right, it's all because of this identity without a brand, as long as I become a regular adventurer, everything will be fine, I'm sure!"

Roth heard this...... Nodding.

"Sure enough, people can't do without rules, hmph, I know. He seemed to remember something, and sneered, "It's okay, I can give you a chance, but I have a small condition." ”

After discovering that there was a play, Lista calmed down and waved his hand, "Hmm, Rot, is this the habit of businessmen?

"I want to hear your story?"

Lista didn't expect this: "What?"

Roth laughed, "Didn't you say that you were very experienced? Then you must have a lot of adventure stories, right? Tell me when you have time, that's my condition." ”

"This ...... Huh, well?" Lista didn't quite understand Roth a little bit of a person.

——

Joel arrived at church a little later than expected.

Halfway through, Wright suddenly followed, confessing a bunch of things to him, which made him feel very bad.

Yoel knew that someone had arranged him, but he never thought that he would be arranged so clearly, and even the three teammates were prepared for him by others.

Wright's sudden decision to confess was even more infuriating to Joel.

The nobles hatched a conspiracy against themselves and demanded Wright's cooperation.

"They must have thought that Yoel was getting harder and harder to control, so they would have such dirty thoughts!" Wright shuddered as he said this, "I pretended to agree, and finally stabilized them first, but Yoel you must be careful! I suspect that there is probably more than one conspiracy against you!I asked them if they had sent out Assassins of the Darkmen, but they denied it, they didn't need to lie here, so ...... I'm a fake, but you're real! I, I'm going to be on your side!"

Joel controlled his emotions and comforted Wright, telling him to stay calm.

"I can even detect the conspiracy of those priests, and I'm still afraid that those nobles won't succeed?" said Joel disdainfully, "You don't need to be nervous, I already knew about it, but I still treat you as my partners!

"Of course not! Of course it's not fake!" Wright shook his head repeatedly, "I, I'm just, I just feel like I can only drag you back, and every time I ask you for swordsmanship, you never hide it, but I still ......"

"Don't be discouraged. Joel continued to encourage him, "Well, the main thing is that I don't teach well, and if my master had done better!"

Hearing Joel say this, Wright's mood calmed down a little, his attention was diverted, and he smiled awkwardly: "Ah, yes, Joel's master, that must be ...... Well. Well, I'll go first, I've got something to do!"

After watching Wright walk back in three steps, Joel almost couldn't hold back his desire to hammer the wall to vent, but he stopped at the last step.

Such a flaw cannot be left behind......

Vos chuckled when he saw Joel come to church with a gloomy face.

"Joel......" He spoke first, but found that he didn't know what to say, so he could only wait for Joel's questioning like a student who had made a mistake.

But Joel's first question is strange.

"You were sent to me, right? ”

"That's right, don't you already know about this, Joel?"

"yes, I know, I know you're sent. ”

Voss felt a little uneasy and asked, "Joel, what's going on?"

"Huh, it's okay, what's the matter. Joel snorted and leaned against the pillar of the church and relaxed, "Vos, don't you want to ask me how I knew about the [Pastorists'] conspiracy beforehand?"

"Yes, but I don't think I asked about your qualifications first. Voss replied.

"Hey, that's nice...... Okay, Voss, I'll ask you a question first. Joel was not polite to him, "Why did the patriarch of the past sect ask you [if you remember]?"
