Chapter 279 278. One Hundred Gold Coins and Dragon Slaying Commission

As one of the northern border towns of Solon, the Adventurer's Association of Blue Helmet City is much larger. The more caravans there are, the more active the adventurers are. There are coins flowing everywhere on this trade route. As long as you are willing to take some risks, you can grab a handful. As for the size of the risk...

"The words next to the commission wall are really interesting. May the goddess of luck bless you - some ratings are for reference only." Xu Yu was amused.

Lu Yu explained: "It is indeed for reference only. For example, your goal is to go to the ridge of the angry mountain to pick some herbs. This commission may be completed by the lowest-level adventurer like Baimu alone, but if you encounter a 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."

Xu Yu looked around: "Speaking of which, there are really a lot of people here... The streets of the Church are a bit inferior to them."

There are indeed too many people. Even if this is the northernmost city of Solon, with a large population, dense merchants, and generous commissions, there shouldn't be so many adventurers here. Lu Yu was just looking at the display board posted at the door. The hall of the Adventurer's Association could not be entered at all. It was crowded with adventurers, each of them shouting something, some were looking for teammates, and some were simply afraid that their voices could not be heard by others, so they simply shouted loudly-but it was so noisy that no one could hear what they were shouting.

Xu Yu, who has the experience of a child and the mind of an adult, was very excited. She grabbed Lu Yu's sleeve and said, "Adventurer is indeed a very lively profession."

"It is indeed very lively... but it is a little abnormal." Lu Yu thought for a while and pulled an adventurer who was about to squeeze in.

The adventurer with a sullen look on his face immediately changed to a smiling face after seeing the silver coin in Lu Yu's hand.

"The speed of changing faces is so fast." Xu Yu sighed.

"What are they squeezing?" 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 Fury Mountain Ridge to exterminate monsters found traces of dragons, and such traces could still be observed afterwards, confirming the rumor that there were dragons living in the Fury Mountain Ridge."

"Who issued the commission?"

"No one knows. The person issued the commission in the Blue Helmet Adventurer Association. One hundred gold coins were required to kill the dragon, and no other materials were required. Over the years, whenever there was a commission to slay a dragon, I have never heard of anyone not wanting 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 how many dragons there are in the Fury Mountain Ridge, nor did he provide the specific strength of the dragons. The risk is very high."

Lu Yu was very puzzled. He walked to a slightly quieter place and touched his chin to think.

"It feels a bit strange..."

Lu Yu's first feeling was expressed in a moment.

Being able to pay one hundred gold coins shows that this person is financially strong. So far, he has been to so many places, and most of the commissioned items are priced in gold coins, one or two coins, but this person paid one hundred coins in one breath.

Then where are his connections that match his financial resources?

Why doesn't he use his connections to find a powerful person to kill the dragon?

The three-no information has encouraged a group of adventurers whose strength is generally less than level five, and they are excited to participate in the encirclement and suppression...

Lu Yu's mouth curled up: "Interesting."

Because there were too many people asking questions, the receptionist of the Adventurer's Union walked out of the hall shaking the bell in his hand. He shouted loudly to the eyes from all directions: "We really didn't get more detailed information from the client. The only thing we can be sure of is that it is not a giant dragon."

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: "The client How can we determine who hunts the flying dragon without accompanying us, and how can we get the reward? "

"The eyeballs 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 eyeballs can get 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 flying dragon body full of treasures make adventurers and professional mercenaries extremely excited. As soon as the receptionist announced it, many people immediately left the scene to prepare, and many people shouted on the spot to put together a temporary 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, you're not going to slay the dragon?"

The adventurer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This commission with incomplete information, and the opponent is an unknown number of terrifying flying dragons. The commission also looks strange, which makes me feel that something is wrong... I can't explain it."

"I have bad luck and a small courage. This opportunity can really make me rich overnight, and I don't have to run around for food and clothing, but I only have one life, 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 parties' conditions, and finally suppress the throbbing in their hearts.

What can one hundred gold coins do in Mela?

In Solon, Kodzoen can donate a lowest-level title - provided you have an equivalent area of ​​land and some corresponding connections.

In Sligo, you can get an honorary title and be eligible to enter and leave the nobles' mansions.

If you don't make a fuss about your identity and simply buy land, you can also purchase a large area of ​​land in the border area and enter the landlord class. If you are able to establish some relationships with the local lords, you may become a noble in the future.

This money is enough to rewrite a person's destiny.

Back in the caravan, Lu Yu found that Shucha and others were also discussing this matter.

"Should we try it?"

"That's a dragon... its hard scales can block our crossbows, its powerful magic is enough to destroy our strongest armor, its scorching breath sweeps over everything on earth and turns everything into charcoal, its huge body makes it hard to breathe just by moving... are we qualified to be enemies with such a monster?"

"But haven't you heard that it's a hundred gold coins... a full hundred, pure gold coins, no impurities... I've never seen so much money in my life."

At this point, everyone in the escort team was silent. It can be seen that they were very tempted and were so absorbed in the discussion that they didn't even notice Lu Yu coming back.

Tree Branch sighed: "The contract is important. We have promised the caravan to escort them to the forest elves' territory... If we breach the contract, our reputation will be ruined. Can we continue to receive commissions on this trade route in the future?"

"If we succeed, we don't need to accept commissions!"

"What if not?"

"..."

"..."

After a silent silence, at dawn the next day, Lu Yu found that some people were missing from the escort team.

Shucha said nothing, led the rest of the people to find the caravan to apologize, and was willing to take the initiative to reduce the remuneration.

After doing all this, Shucha seemed to have aged several years. He sat on the stone pier and silently wiped his long sword.

Lu Yu sat next to him, Shucha raised his head and forced a smile: "Mr. Lu Yu, the caravan will set off for the Fury Mountain Ridge today. Please be prepared and don't run around anymore."

He subconsciously regarded Lu Yu as a member of the team, and then he realized that he had no way to restrain Lu Yu, and smiled awkwardly.

"How many left?"

"..." Shucha said, "Nine."

Shucha sighed: "I don't blame them. Such opportunities are rare. They want to fight. It's human nature... That's a hundred gold coins. It's a lie to say that I'm not tempted. If there was no such commission, I would definitely gamble my luck... They shouldn't leave without saying goodbye. I will allow it..."

Shucha was very disappointed, and Lu Yu could only pat his shoulder to comfort him.

The caravans from various places formed a huge caravan, and set off towards the Angry Mountain Ridge. It seemed that there were fewer guards in each caravan.

After two days of travel, the caravan entered the range of the Angry Mountain Ridge.

Shucha pointed to 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 in the Angry Mountain Ridge... But since there are flying dragons here, please pay attention to safety."

With that, Shucha turned around and left.

Lu Yu called him and threw something to him.

Shucha subconsciously lowered his head and found that it was a scroll.

"It's not a problem to deal with ordinary monsters. 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 journey."

The gentle wind enveloped Lu Yu's whole body. Without giving Shucha any time to respond, Lu Yu and Xuyu disappeared from sight.

Seeing Shucha holding a scroll and returning to the camp, but Lu Yu was nowhere to be found, everyone gathered around.

"What is this?"

"Open it and see?"

As the scroll unfolded, the magicians in the team were stunned.

"Sixth...sixth-level magician's water magic...this magic power is too huge."

"Sixth level?" Everyone stuttered and looked at each other.

"Such a young sixth-level magician... who is he?"

"Compared to who he is, I want to know more about what he is doing... He keeps mumbling homework, recording the situation of farmers and slaves everywhere... He also killed a bunch of bandits, and now he has entered the ridge of the angry mountain... homework, who can make such a young genius serve him?"

"How much is this scroll worth?"

"Life-saving things, how much is your life worth, priceless, idiot!"

"Wait, why is there a little rabbit head painted at the bottom of the scroll... Does Mr. Lu Yu like rabbits very much?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have caught a few more rabbits when hunting..."

"I like rabbits, not rabbits!"

The tree branch 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 with them day and night left without saying goodbye, which inevitably made everyone feel pessimistic about the future. Such emotions were fatal to them.

Lu Yu's scroll not only provided them with protection, but also saved the team that might collapse because of it.

"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 ridges.

Although Lu Yu felt that he could fully protect himself after learning the dual element summoning and having the engraved summoning object, in order to shut Lulu's mouth, Sera still temporarily got four scrolls for him to carry for self-defense.

"Scrolls are time-consuming and laborious, save them for me, many people want to collect the scrolls selected by this god."

"If Sera knew that I gave the scroll away, I wonder what her expression would be." When Lu Yu thought of this, he immediately imagined Sera's ears being stretched straight because of anger.

According to Shucha's introduction on the road, because the ridge of the angry mountain is very large, adventurers usually have to walk for a long time before they can meet a fellow adventurer, and most of the time they are just admiring the monsters. But because of the appearance of the dragon slaying commission, Lu Yu met many adventurers along the way. They came in groups and would shout to exchange information after meeting each other.

Of course, some...

Smelling the blood in the air and looking at the corpses all over the ground, Lu Yu felt the chill in the air. It seemed that someone had released ice magic, causing the residual fluctuations of magic here to still have an impact.

"We haven't found the trace of the flying dragon yet, and the drama of eliminating competitors has begun?"

Although Lu Yu guessed that this would happen, the speed still made people sigh that the trust between people is really weak.

Whoever gets more eyeballs can take away 100 gold coins. Assuming there is more than one flying dragon, plundering is the only option to ensure that you get the reward.

Considering that adventurers basically work together to kill dragons, then the profit will be divided afterwards. 100 gold coins falling into the hands of each person does not seem to be particularly impressive... Is there any good way to get more?

The person who issued this commission is really interesting. After seeing this scene, Lu Yu is more convinced that his goal is not just as simple as killing a dragon.

Seeing Lu Yu groping on the corpse, Xu Yu's eyes lit up: "Is this what you call licking the box?"

Xu Yu always accepted the new words thrown by Lu Yu very quickly. After all, she was in a critical stage of gaining experience and enriching her knowledge. This also made Lu Yu often feel that he had traveled back in time when chatting with her...

"Considering that it would cost a lot of money to have a territory, Sera, a rich woman, would not be able to provide us with delicious soft rice after leaving the Church, so..." Lu Yu took out a silver coin and said with a smile, "We have to save money from now on, otherwise Sigrid will say that we are a spendthrift sooner or later."

"Let me touch it, let me do it!" Xu Yu squeezed Lu Yu away and started to lick the box.

In addition to the coins, Xu Yu also found some letters.

"What is 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 made him understand some agreements between adventurers in this world.

"Lost it?"

"Put it away, and give it to the Adventurer's Association when you get back."

"It's a bit troublesome..." Xu Yu complained.

"It's troublesome, but it can't be helped. Didn't you say you wanted to experience the daily life of an adventurer? We are adventurers now, so we have to keep the promises that most adventurers will keep."

Lu Yu looked into the depths of the mountain ridge: "I wonder how many lives a hundred gold coins can cost."

I had something to do today, and I was very tired when I came back, so I overslept. Sorry for not adding more.
