C17 Chapter 17 Commission and Undercurrent

In the early morning two months later, the snow had ended, and Lei Shi, located in the northern part of the kingdom, also ushered in its own warm spring. Due to the lengthening of the day, the hazy white fog that shrouded the city had long since disappeared and replaced it. The morning light is brighter and warmer than in winter. It penetrates into the house through the windows and is even brighter than the fire in the fireplace.

Of course, the average South District resident is reluctant to light a fireplace early in the morning, because firewood, the fuel for the fireplace, is not cheap in the city, and they will basically leave their residences soon in the morning and go to work.

Lighting a fireplace is a waste for most of them, especially in the warm spring when the temperature rises.

Lake didn't buy any more firewood. He stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with coffee. After taking another look at the other breakfast prepared on the other side of the table, he immediately walked to the entrance.

"Ina, are you up? I'm going out for a while. I'll leave it to you to look after the house." As he passed the wooden stairs, he called to the second floor.

There was no response, maybe because she didn't get up, or maybe the girl simply didn't want to answer.

Since those two days, Ina has been like this.

After waiting on the spot for a moment, the experienced warrior picked up his old friend from the sword cabinet, the double-headed eagle sword engraved with magic runes.

There were still some things that needed to be dealt with. He glanced back at the floor one last time and then walked towards the door.

When the door was closed and there was no sound in the house, a slender figure appeared beside the escalator on the second floor.

She was wearing a green and white off-shoulder long-sleeved dress. She didn't look like she had just woken up, but she didn't take care of her snow-colored shoulder-length hair, and just let it hang loosely.

Ina seemed to be looking at the empty lower level under the wooden ladder, her head unexpectedly buried very low.

"You don't even dare to say a few words to Lake? It's really embarrassing..." After standing in silence for a long time, Ina murmured to herself:

She leaned her body against the wooden handrail set up on the floor and slowly slid down until she sat on the floor.

Ina wrapped Bai Zhe's slender hands around her bent knees. She curled up and buried her face in them...

The warm days of spring probably refer to days like this. The scorching sun melts the white snow. Reike steps through the unknown snow and puddles formed by the rain. The puddles are soon crushed by the carts that pass by one after another, and become a puddle. A wet mud wheel mark.

The crowds in Dongcheng District are still as big as the tide, even more than before.

Although it is May, for this small city located in the northern corner of Fulante Kingdom, it is only the end of winter.

The business that had been frozen for half a year in the cold winter was now like a thawing glacier. The flow of people composed of caravans, vendors, and wandering merchants were constantly impacting the upper limit of the largest thoroughfare in Thunder Stone City.

Lake nimbly squeezed through the crowd and walked towards a certain direction in the East District.

…………

East District, Adventurers Guild

The vast hall was still filled with the clearly audible stench of ale and sweat.

But it's a lot lighter. It's obvious that the guild hasn't slacked off when it comes to cleanliness, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to have improved much.

It was the middle of the sun's rise, and there weren't many people in the guild. During this time, the adventurers all accepted corresponding commissions.

Except for a few hesitant adventurers who were sitting at the bar and glancing at the commission board from time to time, the only ones left here were the receptionist and a man wearing a purple-black mage robe.

He leaned on the front desk with one hand and just stood there without asking or checking the entrustment.

But no one came up to talk to him, and even the receptionists didn't feel any surprise.

The purple-black robe is sewn with a magic circle made of dull silver-white edges and blue cloth of unknown material. The magic circle is also dotted with more than a dozen inconspicuous purple gems.

It seems mysterious and solemn.

The man has brown hair. There was a slight smile on his face, and he had an ordinary appearance. In terms of appearance, he looked like an ordinary, modestly dressed rich man who was about to come to entrust him with a reward.

Only those eyes were deeper than purple gemstones, with hints of light.

Symbolizes mystery and danger.

The man turned out to be the agent of this adventure guild, Shu Xi Wen.

He took a sip of the tea handed to him by the receptionist, suddenly turned to look at the door that had always been ajar, and said with a smile:

"Yo, you're here."

"I thought you would refuse this commission."

"I also wanted to refuse, but I refused. What are you going to do? Are you going to do it yourself? In this situation?"

The door was pushed open again, and a gentle and thick voice answered comfortably. A young man wearing leather armor, lined with chain mail, a long sword hanging on his waist, and carrying a long bow of extraordinary craftsmanship, slowly walked into the guild.

Of course, he didn't attract anyone's attention. Every day, there were hundreds to hundreds of people who stepped into this doorframe. They either left with a commission, or returned with a money bag on their belt filled with coins.

No one will pay attention to an adventurer who has everything, even if he is a professional.

"In that case, I can only throw this burden back to the city lord and his old man. I don't want my old friend to help me collect the body." Shu Xi raised his hand to indicate if he wanted a drink.

"It's quite leisurely. It seems that the other party is not willing to sit in the guild and watch you chat and laugh, but you are really embarrassed to say it so blatantly? Who do you think is going to work for you now? I swear to the goddess, if I catch you on the road If one reaches the silver level, the bounty will be doubled for each one!" Lake looked around and thought with resentment in his heart.

"Have you got all the things I want? If not, I have to re-evaluate the difficulty of the commission. I don't want to risk my life. If you offer such a price, the Warcraft must not be able to be dealt with by a man and a sword, no. Really?" Reike rejected Shu Xi's kindness, looked at his client, and said seriously.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Shu Xi take out a knuckle-sized ring from the pocket of the purple and black robe that remained unchanged all year round, engraved with runes and curses, and handed it to him as if it had glowing stardust.

"Spatial rings, putting them inside is much better than laying out a table on site. You know how to use them." Shu Xi immediately began to introduce the contents inside.

"Five demon-breaking arrows, various magic scrolls, five seventh-level attack magic scrolls, six flying knives mixed with mithril and flowing iron, a magic prop inscribed with the seventh-level "Holy Spirit Shield", a six-level A magic energy armed belt with the "Elementary Dragon Strengthening Technique" and a seventh-level "Soul Shock" bracelet."

"Except for the Shield of the Holy Spirit twice, the other two magic props and magic weapons are limited to three uses per hour. Remember to return them when you use them up. They are very expensive."

"Wow, let's save some face, Mr. Guild Branch President. How can anyone ask others to sacrifice their lives and still worry about the borrowed items? Although they are really expensive." Lake was not rude enough to say it. After all, in the past sense, He is also a well-known professional.

One silver-level idiot who doesn't care about his status is fine, but two are a bit too much.

"Do you have any information on Warcraft? It's unlikely that all the "lucky ones" who have seen it will die in the wilderness."

Shu Xi tapped her fingers on the counter, took a piece of paper filled with words, handed it to Lake, and said with a wry smile:

"only these."

"Yeah" Lake responded, leaned sideways against the counter, and began to examine the contents of the information.

A giant ape-like monster with hair that gradually changes from olive green to white. It was initially identified as the Morimine Giant Ape after being confirmed by numerous level adventurers.

The standing height exceeds 10 meters, and the possibility of being over 13 meters cannot be ruled out.

Level: sixth to seventh level.

Haunting and sighting locations: The core area of the Monster Forest in Earl of Kesroy Ridge to the shallow area thirteen miles away from the "border".

…………

"The scope of its activities is too wide... It's close to half of the province... It should be an omnivore. In the resource-rich World of Warcraft Forest, even leopard-type monsters and groups of wolf-type monsters are There is little need to expand the hunting range to this extent.”

"Moreover, he is one of the top predators. Why...wait, seventh level? Senfeng Giant Ape?!" An idea flashed through Lake's mind, and he looked at a certain president with a solemn expression.

There was bitterness at the corner of Shu Xi's mouth, and he took out a cigarette from his many pockets with his right hand:

"That's right, just as you thought about my friend, he is the one with clear records in Cam Province."

"As for why it came here, or to put it more bluntly, why it was driven here? I think you know what happened."

"For medium and large cities like Dunbo and Manlenbeir, it is just a big trouble, but for Lei Shi, it is an unsafe disaster, especially now that I can't take action."

"Be careful, old friend."

The cigarette was not lit in the end, he just held it between his fingertips.

Only the light blue fluorescent light flashed, and the paper filled with information disappeared into thin air.

"It's okay. I can't kill it. Isn't it easy to severely damage it? There will be news within a week. If you are thoughtful, why don't you think more about how to pay the bounty? It's just like the branch I used to make apple pie next door to Mrs. Wingers. Mr. Chang."

"Is this some kind of retro, trendy joke?"

In response to Shu Xi's weird look, Reike turned around and left without answering.
