Chapter 209 If you can’t accept money, can’t you even accept gifts?
'So that's how it is.'
‘Captain Niubi!’
'Is this the world of smart people? It's too scary...'
After Li Wujie's explanation, the others understood why the demon army behind them would let them go and then start working on their own.
'Wujie, shall we continue to follow the Moon Night Merchant Group?'
'Yes.' Li Wujie recalled the demon map in his mind and broadcast through the mental channel: 'Follow them first. With the Moon Night Merchant Group as a living sign, ordinary demons will definitely not dare to trouble them.
Behind the demon army are three provinces, and maybe there are instructions from the demon god.'
"On the territory of the demon clan, the protective umbrella of the Moon Night Merchant Group is much more effective than on the territory of the Temple Alliance."
The convoy continued to move forward, and after the thrill of that night, the following days returned to normal.
If one were to gallop on horseback, even if one used a first-level monster like an iron-maned horse as a mount, it would take at least seven days to reach the heart of the demon capital from the border of the demon clan. And now that the entire convoy was involved, the speed would only be even slower.
The fifth day, night.
"Let me tell you, what we saw that night was just a small battle. At best, it was just to scare you new recruits."
The convoy was stationed for a rest. Over the past few days, some of the guards had become quite familiar with the two demon hunting groups.
"I was killed alive when I was escorting the convoy from the mountain of corpses! Let me tell you, that battle was so tragic. There were arms and legs everywhere..."
A guard who was relatively familiar with Li Wujie and the others was drinking wine and eating meat, and kept talking about his glorious days.
Li Wujie and the others should all be listening to someone else's story. They will listen to whatever you say, yes, yes, yes.
"Odin, your name is this, do you know Odin Town?"
The bragging guard suddenly mentioned a place name, which made Long Haochen a little confused.
Odin Town is his hometown.
The first time he heard Li Wujie's pseudonym, he was quite confused. Why would he use the name of his hometown as a pseudonym?
Anyway, Li Wujie got it over to Hu in the end.
"I do not know."
"Yes, that's a small town with no reputation. I heard that there was a tragic invasion of demons there two years ago, so it's not that I wasn't there, otherwise I would have to go and kill a few demons.
Play with your head.”
Everyone else was doing the same, but Long Haochen was a little depressed.
Although Long Xingyu took action when the demons invaded, many people still died in the end.
Naturally, there are also Long Haochen's friends and people who have helped him in daily life.
Long Haochen listened to the guard bragging, but didn't say much.
After a few days of contact, the guard uncle is quite nice. Except when he drinks too much, he likes to say how awesome he is, even though he is only a second-level sword and shield warrior.
"Really, why are you joining the escort team at such a young age?" Another older guard uncle took a sip of wine and said to the group of demon hunters: "My wife was just pregnant at the time, and my father became seriously ill.
My family was very short of money at that time, and I borrowed money from relatives but couldn't get enough. I had no choice but to start this bloody business."
"Now there are two children in the family. The father and mother above are over sixty, and there is a grandfather who is over eighty years old. The three children below, the eldest will get married soon, and the second and third children are all quite talented. Maybe
To reach the third level in the future, all these will require money, not to mention a caravan."
"I'll give you twenty silver coins for this trip. If you die accidentally, you'll get at least five gold coins for your settlement (referring to: comforting your family)." The uncle looked at the more than ten people in the demon hunting group, who were rushing on their way in the dust.
Even without Li Wujie's transformation, they still look older than their original appearance. Under the influence of the wind and sand, it is impossible to recognize their original appearance, but they can still tell that they are exceptionally young.
Especially a guy with a very good foundation. If there are ten levels of appearance, this person's innate appearance is at least level 20. Li Wujie doesn't even know how to put on makeup.
In the end, Li Wujie could only take a helmet and put it on Long Haochen's head, telling him not to take off his helmet.
"You are so young, you really shouldn't come to a place like this. After this trip, you'd better go back and find a more peaceful job."
Hearing what the guard uncle said, Bai Xiaomo couldn't help but ask: "But, can't we go to the priest in the Light Priest Temple for treatment? Priest treatment is free."
As soon as these words came out, several guards laughed loudly, and the uncle of the guard even smiled bitterly.
"Boy, are you from a big city? Are you here to experience life?"
"ah?"
"Stop pretending!" Another guard said to Bai Xiaomo: "What's your name? Freya...Freya, right? She looks like a little girl, and her name is like a little girl. That's what you said.
, it was immediately exposed! The eldest son of a big family came out to experience life, so there is no need to act."
"You guys are about the same."
Li Wujie never expected that his elaborate plan would be exposed by Bai Xiaomo's words about why he shouldn't eat minced meat.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu]
But after thinking about it, he realized it was no problem.
So Li Wujie asked: "Uncle, my brother is an employee of the Priest's Temple. I also know about the Priest's Temple. The Priest's Temple does provide free treatment. I have gone there to help. There is nothing wrong with that."
.”
Another guard cursed and said: "Yes, it doesn't cost money. There is no money for medical treatment, but other things don't cost money? You go ask others to help. If you don't give me some gifts, how can those noble professionals come?"
"Is this gift free of charge?"
"If you don't give it, they will say that they have no time to practice. What can you do?"
"If there are a lot of people here, you have to look at the value of the gifts, and treat those with more first!" A younger guard seemed to have been tricked by these things. He yelled angrily in a low voice: "A purification technique,
The skills they can use at will cost at least one gold coin!"
"That's it! I have to kneel down and beg them before they show it!"
"And this is local to Xingxun City. If you go to other towns, those that don't have a priest temple, you have to see a doctor or come to Xingxun City to find a priest."
"If the patient can still walk, that's fine. If the patient can't walk, you have to pay extra for traveling expenses!"
"Aren't these all money?!"
After hearing what the guards said, many people in the two demon hunting groups became angry.
'Everyone sit down!'
Li Wujie's voice echoed in the minds of twelve people.
Different from the gentle voice in the past, Li Wujie at this time was like an active volcano covered in ice and snow, but he lacked an opportunity to erupt.
'Anger can't solve the problem, especially since we are still in the demon territory now, and anger can't solve the problem in the human territory, it will only expose us!'
‘Don’t forget, the top brass of the Moon Night Merchant Group are looking for us!’
'When I return to the southeastern fortress, I will naturally find someone to handle this matter.'
'This kind of thing cannot be solved by our two demon hunting groups. Although the demon hunting group has supervisory powers, if we only eradicate those who appear to be bribed, then we will only cut off the leaves of the weeds and burn them, but not uproot them.
Once our wildfire is gone, brand new blades of grass will grow again.'
'To cut the weeds, we must remove the roots!'
'Otherwise, the spring breeze will blow and birth will come again.'
