278. One Hundred Gold Coins and Dragon Slaying Commission
As one of the border towns in the north of Solon, the adventurer association in Blue Helmet City is much larger. In areas with dense caravans, adventurers are more active. There are coins flowing everywhere on this trade road. As long as you are willing to risk it,
Just a little risk and you can grab a handful. As for the size of the risk...
"The words on the commission wall are really interesting. May the goddess of luck favor you - some ratings are for reference only." He was amused for a moment.
Lu Yu explained: "It's really just for reference. For example, your goal is to go to the Raging Volcano Ridge to pick some herbs. This kind of commission may be completed by the lowest level adventurer like Bai Mu alone, but if you encounter a problem,
Crazy high-level monster..."
"Are there many such accidents?"
"In the wild, there are always many accidents, and you never know what kind of accident you will encounter."
He looked left and right for a moment: "Speaking of which, there are really a lot of people here...the streets of the Theocracy are a bit inferior compared to them."
There are indeed a bit too many people. Even if this is the northernmost city of Solon, with a large population, dense merchants, and generous commission rewards, there should not be so many adventurers crowding here. Lu Yu was just watching the commissions posted at the door.
The display board of the Adventurer Association was inaccessible at all. It was crowded with adventurers, all shouting something. Some were looking for teammates, and some were simply afraid that their voices would not be heard by others.
They were shouting loudly - but it was so noisy that no one could hear what they were shouting.
The child's experience made the adult's mind very excited for a moment. She grabbed Lu Yu's sleeve and said, "Adventurer is indeed a very exciting profession."
"It's indeed very lively... but something is not normal." Lu Yu thought thoughtfully, grabbing an adventurer who was about to squeeze in.
The sullen adventurer immediately changed to a smiling face after seeing the silver coin in Lu Yu's hand.
"My face changes so quickly." I sighed for a moment.
"What are they crowding about?" Lu Yu asked.
"So you don't know? This is asking for details related to dragons."
"Dragon?" Lu Yu and Xu Yu said in unison.
"Not long ago, adventurers who went to the Raging Volcano Ridge to exterminate monsters discovered traces of dragons, and these traces can still be observed after that, which confirms the rumor that dragons live in the Raging Volcano Ridge."
"Who issued the commission?"
"No one knows. That person issued a commission from the Blue Helmet Adventurers Association. He asked for one hundred gold coins and only asked to kill the dragon. No other materials were required. Over the years, I have never heard of any dragon-slaying commission.
Some people don’t want those precious materials... But who cares, this is a good opportunity to make a fortune. If you are interested, don’t miss it... But you have to be strong enough, because the client did not give out how many dragons there are in the Raging Mountain Ridge.
The specific strength of the dragon has not been provided, so the risk is very high."
Lu Yu was puzzled. He walked to a quieter place, touched his chin and started thinking.
"It feels a little weird..."
Lu Yu's first feeling was expressed in one sentence.
Being able to give out a hundred gold coins shows that this person has strong financial resources. He has traveled to so many places so far, and the prices of the items entrusted are usually one or two gold coins. This person can get a hundred gold coins in one breath.
So where are his connections that match his financial resources?
Why didn't he use his connections to find a powerful person to kill the dragon?
The three-no information inspired a group of adventurers whose strength was generally less than level five, and excitedly participated in the encirclement and suppression...
Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth: "Interesting."
Because there were too many people asking questions, the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild walked out of the hall shaking the bell in his hand. He looked at the eyes from all directions and shouted loudly: "We really didn't get more detailed information from the client.
, the only thing that is certain is that it is not a giant dragon."
As he spoke, the receptionist took out a contract signed with the client: "The other party's gold coins have been entrusted to us."
In the crowd, someone asked loudly: "How can we identify the person who hunted the flying dragon if the client does not accompany us, and how will he be paid?"
"The eyes of the flying dragon." The receptionist said loudly, "The client said that if the flying dragon is killed in the form of encirclement and suppression, then the person with the most flying dragon eyes will receive the reward."
Lu Yu sneered: "It's getting more and more interesting."
Not everyone is as calm as Lu Yu. The huge wealth and the body of a flying dragon full of treasures make adventurers and professional mercenaries extremely excited. As soon as the reception was announced, many people immediately left the scene to prepare.
Many people shouted on the spot and assembled a makeshift dragon-slaying team.
Lu Yu once again saw the adventurer who provided him with the commission information. He stood in front of the display board and browsed other commissions.
"Why, aren't you going to slay the dragon?"
The adventurer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This kind of request with incomplete information, the opponent is still an unknown number of terrifying flying dragons, the request also looks weird, I always feel that something is not right... something is not right that I can't explain."
"I am very unlucky and timid. This kind of opportunity can really make me rich overnight. I will no longer have to run around for food and clothing. But I only live once. I don't want to gamble... I am not worthy of gambling with my strength."
There are not many adventurers like this adventurer who recognize their own strength, examine all conditions, and finally suppress their inner tremors.
What can one hundred gold coins do in Mela?
In Solon, Cordzon can donate a lowest-level title - provided you have an equivalent area of land and some corresponding connections.
In Sligo, you can obtain an honorary title and be eligible to enter the nobles' mansions.
If you don't make a fuss about your status and just buy land, you can buy a large area of land in the border areas and step into the landlord class. If you have the ability to establish some connections with the local lords, you may not necessarily become a noble in the future.
This amount of money is enough to change a person's destiny.
Back in the caravan, Lu Yu found that Shuzhu and others were also discussing the matter.
"Should we try it too?"
"That's a dragon...the hard scales can block our crossbows, the powerful magic is enough to destroy our strongest armor, the scorching dragon's breath sweeps across the earth and turns everything into charcoal, and the huge body makes people breathless just by moving.
…Are we qualified to be enemies with such monsters?”
"But haven't you heard, that's a hundred gold coins...a whole hundred, pure gold coins, without adulteration...I have never seen so much money in my life."
At this point, everyone in the escort team fell silent. It could be seen that they were very moved and engrossed in the discussion, so much so that they didn't even notice Lu Yu came back.
Shuzhu sighed: "The contract is important. We have promised the caravan to escort them to the forest elf territory... If we break the contract, our reputation will be ruined. Can we continue to receive commissions on this trade route in the future?"
"If we succeed, we won't need to take commissions!"
"What if not?"
"..."
"..."
After a wordless silence, at dawn the next day, Lu Yu found that some people were missing from the escort team.
Shuzhu didn't say anything, and led the remaining people to the caravan to apologize and offered to reduce the reward.
After doing all this, Zhizhu seemed to have aged several years, sitting on the stone pillar, silently wiping his long sword.
Lu Yu sat next to him, and Shuzhu raised his head and put on a smile: "Mr. Lu Yu, today the caravan will set off to Furious Mountain Ridge. Please be prepared and stop running around."
Subconsciously thinking that Lu Yu was one of the team members, he realized after finishing his words that he had no way to restrain Lu Yu, so he smiled sarcastically.
"How many left?"
"..." Shuzhu said, "Nine."
Shuzhu sighed: "I don't blame them. Opportunities like this are rare. They want to go for it. It's human nature... That's a hundred gold coins. If you don't want to be tempted, it's fake. If there is no commission,
I will definitely try my luck... They should not leave without saying goodbye, I will allow it..."
Shuzhu was very disappointed, and Lu Yu could only pat him on the shoulder to express comfort.
The caravans that merged from various places formed a huge business group and set off towards the Raging Volcano Ridge in a mighty manner. Each caravan seemed to be missing some guards.
After two days of travel, the business group entered the range of the Furious Volcano Ridge.
Shuzhu pointed at the rolling mountains in the distance and introduced: "This is the place where the dragons fell in history. Although I don't know what you want to do when you come to the Furious Mountain Ridge... but since there are flying dragons here, please pay attention.
Safety."
With that said, the tree branch turned and left.
Lu Yu stopped him and handed him something.
Shuzhu lowered his head subconsciously and found that it was a scroll.
"Destroying ordinary monsters is not a problem. It can save your life in times of crisis." Lu Yu said, "I wish you the blessing of the God of Luck in your future journeys."
The gentle wind enveloped Lu Yu's whole body, and without giving the tree branch any time to reply, Lu Yu and Xu disappeared from sight in an instant.
Seeing Shu Zhi holding a scroll return to the camp, but Lu Yu was missing, everyone gathered around him.
"What is this?"
"open to take a look?"
As the scroll unfolded, the magicians in the team were stunned.
"The water magic of a sixth-level magician... this magic power is too huge."
"Sixth level?" Everyone stuttered, and then looked at each other in confusion.
"Such a young sixth-level magician...who is he?"
"More than who he is, I want to know what he is doing... He keeps talking about homework, recording the situation of farmers and slaves... He also kills a bunch of bandits, and now he is diving into the ridge of an angry volcano... Job, who is this person?
Can such a young genius serve him?"
"How much is this scroll worth?"
"Life-saving things, how much is your life worth? It's priceless, you idiot!"
"Wait a minute, why is there a little rabbit head drawn at the bottom of the scroll...Does Mr. Lu Yu like rabbits very much?"
"If I had known I would have caught a few more rabbits during hunting..."
"People like rabbits, not eating them!"
Shuzhu looked at everything in front of him with a smile. After the nine people left without saying goodbye, the whole team was a little depressed. The companions who had been together day and night left at the drop of a hat, which inevitably made everyone feel pessimistic about the future. For them, such emotions are
deadly.
Lu Yu's scroll not only provided them with protection, but also saved the team that might have collapsed.
"Maybe you are the incarnation of the god of luck..."
The god of luck in the tree branch's mouth is using wind magic to quickly shuttle through the ridge.
Although Lu Yu felt that he could completely protect himself after learning the dual element summoning and possessing the engraved summoning object, in order to block Lulu's mouth, Sera temporarily obtained four scrolls for him to carry for self-defense.
"Scrolls are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so save some for me. Many people would like to collect the scrolls chosen by me."
"If Sera knew that I gave the scroll away, I don't know what her expression would be." Lu Yu thought of this, and immediately pictured Sera's bunny ears stretched out in anger.
According to Shuzhu's introduction on the road, because the ridge of Raging Mountain is very large, it usually takes a long time for adventurers to walk here before meeting someone of the same kind. Most of the time, they are admiring the monster's fangs. However, because of the appearance of the Dragon Slaying Commission, Lu Yu
I saw many adventurers along the way. They were in groups, and they would shout and exchange information after meeting each other.
Of course there are some...
Smelling the bloody smell in the air and looking at the corpses everywhere, Lu Yu felt a chill in the air. It seemed that someone had released ice-based magic, causing the residual fluctuations of magic here to still have an impact.
"We haven't found any trace of the flying dragon yet, and the drama of eliminating competitors has begun?"
Although Lu Yu guessed that this kind of thing would happen, the speed still made people sigh. The trust between people is really weak.
Whoever gets more eyeballs can take away a hundred gold coins. Assuming there is more than one flying dragon, in order to ensure that you receive the reward, plundering is the only option.
Considering that adventurers basically work together to slay dragons, it doesn’t seem particularly impressive if one hundred gold coins fall into everyone’s hands after the accounts are divided... Is there any good way to get more?
The person who issued this commission is really interesting. Seeing what happened before him, Lu Yu was even more convinced that his goal was not just as simple as slaying the dragon.
Seeing Lu Yu groping around the body, his eyes lit up for a moment: "Is this what you call licking the box?"
Xu was always very quick to accept the new words thrown out by Lu Yu. After all, she was in a critical stage of increasing her experience and enriching her knowledge. This also made Lu Yu often feel like he had traveled back in time when chatting with her...
"Considering that it will cost a lot of money to have a territory, a rich woman like Sera will not be able to provide us with delicious soft rice after leaving the theocracy, so..." Lu Yu took out a silver coin and said with a smile, "We
We have to save money now, otherwise Sigrid will say that we are a loser sooner or later."
"Let me touch it, let me touch it!" After a moment, Lu Yu squeezed away and started licking the box.
In addition to the coins, some letters were also found.
"What's this?"
Lu Yu took a look and sighed: "Suicide note."
When he first came to this world, he also found a suicide note near the tree hole, which also allowed him to understand some of the agreements between adventurers in this world.
"Throw it away?"
"Put it away and give it to the Adventurers Association when you return."
"It's a bit troublesome..." he complained for a moment.
"It's troublesome. Didn't you say that you want to experience the daily life of an adventurer? We are adventurers now, so we have to abide by the agreements that most adventurers will abide by."
Lu Yu looked deep into the ridge: "I don't know how many lives a hundred gold coins can kill."

Something happened today. I was very tired after I came back. As a result, I overslept and didn’t update. I’m sorry.
