The firewood in the hotel's fireplace was clicking loudly. Xiaohong and the others were enjoying their rare leisure time while busy, but the group of young adventurers were a little restless.
Not to mention the elf mage Ultra who was the party involved, even Cassio, Avella and the others looked nervous.
"Ha, don't be too nervous. Even if the sky falls, there will always be a tall person. No matter how serious or nervous you are, what is supposed to come will still come. It is better to live your own affairs with peace of mind. As long as you keep a normal attitude and face it, no matter how difficult it is,
All matters will be resolved one day."
Adam's words are very senior, and the sadness and truth revealed in the cheerfulness are also quite moving. But if someone looks at the collection of jokes from a young age with a smile on his face, and laughs to tears while talking to you about life,
It's really a bit unconvincing.
"Young men, have a normal heart, have a normal heart... Huh."
Xiaohong, who was talking about being normal, seemed to be too normal, and fell asleep next to the fire with her eyes squinted. However, the little girl was lying down and pretending to be an elder, but it made people feel a little...cute for no reason?
"Don't listen to these two heartless bastards. They don't worry because their hearts are taken care of by others. They don't use their brains because there is always someone to deal with the aftermath. They just beat people up.
"
I glared at Adam and said, don't lead the younger generations into the ditch. Your attitude towards life is definitely not what these boys should learn.
"You are qualified to say that we have at least taught Annie. Let's look at the few you have taught. Are any of them normal?"
Adam picked his nose and looked at people from the corners of his eyes. This girl didn't have the image of the legendary sword master at all.
Why is it not normal? Eliza, a little extreme, okay, I admit that it is too extreme, even if it is a little bit Electra... Renee, the same as above... Galina, lately I have become less and less aware of what she is thinking,
I always feel like she's planning something, and I'm a bit afraid to ask...
Ahem. At least Cohen and Barton are relatively normal.
"Cohen, are you completely free of charge? He is completely imitating the ideal image of 'Perfect Roland' in his mind, so it is the most normal now. Barton, you have only taught martial arts for a year, and you have already become very good."
You are so cunning. I will follow you for a few more years. It will be strange to remain as cunning as you."
Heloise's rants made me a little unhappy. It was as if I was a source of mental pollution.
"Aren't you?"
Ahem, let's talk about business.
"Margaret, is it confirmed?"
Walk up to Margaret and ask about the current situation. Although Margaret's chance of making a mistake is very small, detection and divination spells always have various hard error rates, and 100% is impossible.
"Well, I used twelve detection spells, six of which were more convincing. First, I traced back the history of this sword. He and his owner were still in the Lunar Capital two months ago. Then this sword
The enchantment of the sword is also in the elf style. As far as I know, this is
The patent of the elf enchanter, the silver is an enchanted silver sword mixed with mithril. The owner of the sword has a high status in the elves. Based on the alchemical analysis of the material, the origin of the silver should be the Shipton Mountains, where the elves are now.
ownership of…”
When talking about her major, Margaret, who used to be very eloquent, became a bit talkative. I listened attentively at first, but when I got to the point of "Those patterns, I checked the Moon Elf's heraldry database and proved it."
"The owner of the sword is the eldest son of the Kasuo family. The Kasuo family is one of the top ten largest families in the moon elves. As the eldest son who inherits the family business, the possibility of him leaving the capital is very small."
The proof has become meaningless, she is taking it too seriously as always.
"Ahem, it seems that it is confirmed."
Then she was glared at by Margaret. It probably meant that I worked so hard and you just summed it up in such a simple way? But watching her glance at the elf mage next to her, I almost knew why she went too far this time.
"I was urged to find evidence to prove that the place where the door opened was not the land of elves. The more evidence it proved, the more desperate the result became. I really don't know how to evaluate it..."
Ultra is almost crying, so I'd better say a few words less.
"Margaret, do you think it's necessary to inform the elf?"
"...You make up your mind. You are better at this kind of political decision than I am."
Glancing at Juertra, Margaret didn't make her attitude clear, but this prevarication already explained a lot.
According to her habitual role of playing nanny and normal person in the team, she should ask me to directly pass the news to the elves at this time, but it seems that she also knows how difficult the elves are.
The relationship between the elves and the country of wizards is really not that good. Towards the wizards, the elves always have a wonderful sense of superiority, "I am the source of magic, and I should all be grateful for imparting magic to you."
However, the stronger power brought by the continuously innovative magic schools of human mages has long left the unenterprising elves far away. The elves are greedy but still maintain inexplicable arrogance, and always have inexplicable contempt and inexplicable contempt for human mages.
Pride, the rift between the two parties should not be too obvious.
In order to learn magic, Margaret encountered various difficulties in the elves' kingdom. Being petty and holding grudges have always been the passive skills of smart women. Even after becoming successful and famous, Margaret has always been impatient with the elves.
Now that I am willing to help Ultra, in addition to the relationship between fellow mages, more importantly, it is because the matter is so important that it needs to be verified repeatedly.
I glanced at this group of scammers, and no one looked like they were planning to make up their minds.
"How long will it take until the demonic tide breaks out?"
"According to historical records... In fact, every time it erupts suddenly, there is no warning at all and it is impossible to refer to it. However, the deployment of troops on that scale, even a pure cluster of abyss monsters, will take time, at least one or two months.
"
"Then no matter what decision is made, it must be made quickly."
Ignoring this news? It would be such a waste. When I was hesitating, a dark bat suddenly came in from the window and landed on my shoulder. On my arm, there was also a little goblin
The Abyss Express.
""Why did the three main gods fight each other in the middle of the night, and why Ansuolo was seriously injured?" I'm going to go there, is this a super headline-maker?"
After browsing for a while, I found that all the reports were speculative, but some facts were certain. The location of the attack was Ansuolo's plane kingdom. The three main gods who took action included Ansuolo, the Lord of Elves, and Cavins, the Prince of the Abyss.
, Sophocles the Hypocrite, and looking at the time, it was probably about two days ago, and the result is obvious from the title.
A god-level being can only recuperate for a year or two, so this script is becoming increasingly difficult to see through.
"Is this the end of the elves?"
I don't hesitate anymore. Since Ansuolo has been incapacitated in a short time, it would be unbelievable if those guys don't seize the time and do something. It is very likely that the demonic wave will start at any time.
If there is only half a year, the elves can try to seize the living space of other countries. If there are three months, the elves can organize a great escape. If there is only one month, what can be done is really limited.
"I'll talk to the goblins later and let them sell the information to the moon elves. Their channels are also the fastest. 60% of the income will be given to your team. After all, this is mainly your credit. The rest..."
"Cough cough cough."
The dwarf priest who had been silent all this time suddenly interrupted my words. Seeing him point to the gold coin holy symbol on his chest rather embarrassedly, I understood instantly.
"...50% will be given to your team, 20% will be given to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth as Biana's hush money, and the rest will be given to us."
It's not that we lack the remuneration, it's that we can't make a circle without rules. Since we are participating in this matter as an adventurer, we will naturally be rewarded according to the rules of the adventurer.
This is not only due to financial reasons. If there is no benefit to the rescuer, the adventurers will not help each other frequently. The adventurers can cooperate at a high frequency to complete difficult tasks and distribute rewards according to the basic principle of effort.
It's fundamental.
"I can save the world, but I have to pay for saving the world."
In a sense, this is the fundamental reason why the adventurer system is extremely popular in all planes.
So far, this 50-50 split is very generous. After all, our action is equivalent to saving their lives. According to the unspoken rules of adventurers, it is normal to split the mission reward in half, and Bayana is guiding the team along the way.
If it weren't for her team, it would have been impossible for her team to reach the 100th floor of the abyss, and it would still be eligible for rewards, but half of it should be given to the original team with the greatest strength.
Don't look at it as just a piece of news, it is related to the demise of a race, plus the little goblin who is good at extortionate transactions as an intermediary, considering the Moon Elf's amazingly rich family background, I won't believe it unless a few artifacts are revealed, just one layer is not
It's a decimal.
The dwarf priest showed an embarrassed forced smile.
"...My Lord said it would be 30%. In addition to her own share, she needs to pay the remuneration and pension of the Holy Knights."
"Okay, that's it."
She didn't tell me that I had forgotten. Although it didn't have any effect, at least a few people died after doing hard work. Afterwards, the paladins said they had a way to retreat, so we parted ways on the 100th floor of the abyss.
"Did they successfully return to the main plane? Did Danatis find them?"
The bearded dwarf priest nodded and received the news that most members of the Holy Knights were safe, which was considered good news.
Then, next, it is our own task.
Not going to support the main battlefield of Moon City? I don't plan to go back to Hades to read the message and resist the demonic tide head-on. Even the main gods may not have this ability.
"Well, since everyone is here and everyone is here, let's fight a boss first, a boss at the main god level." (To be continued.)
