Chapter 251 The Kingdom Offers a Reward(1/2)
As soon as Lin Chu entered the door, countless eyes gathered on him.
The reason is that his fully armed ebony armor is really eye-catching.
The full set of ebony armor is valuable no matter where it is, and only powerful elite warriors have the money to buy.
When an adventurer saw his ebony armor, he knew that this man was either a strong man or a nobleman with status.
The noisy sound in the tavern stopped for a few seconds, but the sight did not stay on Lin Chu for too long, and soon returned to the noise. However, many adventurers quietly turned their sight to him at all times.
Lin Chu was too lazy to care about what these adventurers thought.
He walked straight to an empty table and shouted in a low voice like other adventurers: "A bottle of honey wine, a large barbecue and a toast."
Soon the drinks and meals were delivered by a maid who looked like a lizard.
This maid who looks like a lizard is a sub-dragon tribe, covered with delicate light green scales, and is wearing a simple skirt similar to linen on the surface. Her face looks a bit like a lizard, but she is more inclined to human characteristics, with a figure of about two meters.
I tasted the wine and dark red barbecue that the other party brought.
The taste is average, but it is not too bad. It is like the home-cooked cuisine in a small restaurant, and you can barely eat it...
Forget it, his purpose in coming to the tavern was not to eat and drink, but to ask someone for any interesting rumors nearby.
Take out fifty gold coins from your pocket.
Twenty gold coins paid for the meal and wine, and the rest was given to the maid of the Asian Dragon clan in front of her, saying that as a tip for her, the other party only needed to spend some time answering her own questions.
These general gold coins are about the purchasing power of each of them equals about fifty dollars on the earth.
In fact, the value of gold coins is more precious than the purchasing power conversion of the earth's currency.
Most civilians have very low wages. Although their productivity is actually far from keeping up with the number of gold coins, most gold coins are controlled by nobles. There are not many gold coins circulating on the market, so they have always been in a deflation state.
You can get thirty gold coins by answering a few questions, which is undoubtedly very cost-effective, almost equivalent to the maid’s income of four or five days.
Lin Chu first asked what the name of the town he is currently in, and then asked what interesting or dangerous rumors nearby, preferably about the Necromancer or Dragon.
The maid told more than a dozen rumors in one breath.
Several of them are related to the revival of the Dragon Clan in Skyrim Province, and even rumors of him massacring robbers in Skyrim have spread. Most of the remaining news are trivial matters in nearby towns and villages.
For example, in the Crowley village, three kilometers away, it caught a werewolf who was eating people, or in the wilderness nearby, the ghosts of headless knights were often seen galloping horses, and the water ghosts and swamp crabs after the rise of tide on both sides of the river rage and destroy crops.
And which caravans are summoning adventurers as mercenaries, or where lords are recruiting guards, or where rewards are offered to hunt monsters...
It is also partly about the changes in the war situation between the Storm Cloak Rebels and the Imperial Army. Since the town is very close to the sky, it is occasionally affected and affected by war.
The maid also suggested that Lin Chu go to the notice board in the town square to take a look, where some rewards and notices will be posted, and perhaps you can find commissions or events that interest him.
Quickly sweep away the wine and meat in front of the table.
It just so happened that he hadn't eaten today. Although the food tasted a little bad, it was enough to fill his stomach.
He went around the notice board in the town again.
There are some common recruitment tasks posted on the notice board, such as hiring mercenaries, recruiting guards, who lost their belongings and retrieving them, missing person notices, rewarding materials for corpses of a certain type of monster, etc.
The tasks range from trivialities in family matters to hunting elite monsters, and there are all kinds of difficulties, and large notice boards that are nearly five meters long are covered with densely packed with large signboards.
Unfortunately, there are almost no tasks related to fourth-order creatures on this notice board.
Yes, even if someone goes to post, no one will answer it. How could a fourth-level strong man be idle and wander around in front of the notice board of such a remote town? The probability is too small.
Any major incident is really something that must be solved by the upper class in private, so there is no need to post any announcement.
As Lin Chu was about to leave the town, a team of elite adventurers wearing enchanted armor walked towards him.
"kindness?"
Lin Chu's eyes narrowed slightly behind his helmet. Could it be that these guys saw that they were generous and the armor they were wearing was luxurious, so they were going to cause trouble for themselves?
Among the five adventurers in front of them, there are four men and one woman.
Two strong orc men with armor above two meters tall, one with beasts carrying arches and arrows behind them, one with light skins and armors in beasts, one with red skin and swords around her waist, and another with a woman who looks like a dark elf, wearing a black mage robe.
With Lin Chu's current experience and vision, under normal circumstances, the general strength of the opponent can be discovered without even needing to use reconnaissance.
Only two of the five people in front of him had reached the peak of the third level, namely the strong orc man and the dark elf woman wearing a black robe.
In the mortal world, even the third-level peak-level strong men are rare. They can hang out to the top in any force and have good treatment. For example, Farenjia and Dark Elf Guards in Baiman City are examples. Few third-level peak-level strong men choose to be adventurers...
After all, adventurers may die at no fixed place and may die at all times. How can they feel comfortable and safe to be in a high position in a town?
Unless they are strong people who are particularly keen on adventure and self-improvement, most of the remaining powerful adventurers are guys who have committed serious crimes in some place and have to go into exile to other places to hide their names...
Two warriors, one archer, one guerrilla and one wizard.
Moreover, there are two elite adventurers at the top of the third level in the lineup.
Looking at the entire Nain Star, this adventurer lineup can be considered a relatively high-end configuration.
Of course.
In Lin Chu's eyes, there is actually no difference between this team of adventurers and ants. He can kill him without even letting out the skeleton soldiers, and he is not afraid that the other party will dare to attack him.
"This friend, you are also for..."
A tall and thin man wearing animal skin and light armor came forward to ask.
“I just passed by.”
Lin Chu guessed what these people were going to ask as soon as he opened his mouth.
He had noticed before that these adventurers gathered so many in this town, and it was obvious that they came one after another for some reason...
The world is prosperous and prosperous.
There is a high probability that there is a benefit nearby that is worth their fight for, while there is a low probability that it is some other special reason.
I just paid the maid gold coins to get information about this.
But there is no factor in what the maid mentioned about the gathering of so many adventurers in the town.
It seems that either she doesn't know, or she thinks this is too common, so she thinks Lin Chu must have known it a long time ago so she didn't say it.
"You can see that you are a very powerful warrior. Why don't we join us to solve the Kingdom's Demon Hunting Bounty?"
The tall and thin man spoke and wanted to pull him into the team:
"We have actually found a possible location for the troll. If there is an additional forward warrior fighting monsters in front of us to avoid the trolls escaping, the chance of getting a reward will definitely be higher than that of other teams."
"Oh? Demon Hunting Bounty?"
Lin Chu asked, "Why didn't I see this reward on the notice board just now?"
"The rewards on that notice board are divided into town areas, and kingdom-level demon hunting rewards are usually spread out in the form of news... My friend, aren't you an adventurer? This is common sense in the industry."
The tall and thin man looked at Lin Chu in surprise.
"No, I'm a magician who travels all over the country."
Lin Chu shrugged, and the heavy armor made a dull collision sound: "Have you seen the heavy armored mage? This set of armor is full of magical blessings."
"It seems that I've misunderstood. It turns out that it's a powerful magician. In fact, it's okay to add another mage to our team."
The tall and thin man still did not give up on the idea of pulling Lin Chu into the gang. I don’t know if he had any plans or if he really thought Lin Chu looked very strong in this ebony armor.
"I'm alone in charge and have no interest in joining the team."
Lin Chu pretended to take things from his bag behind him, and casually took out a medium-sized soul stone from the storage ring and threw it to the tall and thin man:
"But I'm a little interested in the kingdom-level demon hunting reward you mentioned. This soul stone is a thank you gift. Can you tell me where to get this news? Or you can explain it to me a few more."
This team of explorers was shocked by Lin Chukuochuo's attack.
The medium-sized soul stone contains the soul energy of a third-level peak creature, worth nearly a thousand gold coins.
But in fact, these ordinary soul stones are of no use to Lin Chu.
He searched too many soul stones on treasure chests and altars in various ruins of Skyrim Province, so that a large number of them were piled up in the storage space. Since he has not mastered the enchantment so far, he dared not use too advanced soul stones for enchanting for fear of wasting.
As the saying goes, people are soft and have a short mouth.
After receiving the gift from the Soul Stone, this group of adventurers explained in detail the source of the rewards for the kingdom to Lin Chu.
Most countries, including the Empire, will offer long-term rewards for some legendary creatures that cause serious damage to the country and various regions, that is, the fourth-level creatures in Lin Chu's eyes, and exist at the same level as the dragon.
It is as difficult as killing those legendary creatures.
Many kingdoms may last for dozens or hundreds of years and no one can reach it. Even heroes who can eventually slaughter monsters and get rewards will be compiled into stories by bards and circulated everywhere as legends.
The topic is off the table.
The reward for the kingdom mentioned by this group of adventurers was issued not long ago by a nearby kingdom called Morning Star.
Hunting a legendary ice troll.
Although this ice troll is also a legendary creature, it belongs to the weakest category. It lives in the frosty mountains not far from the town, so this town gathers so many adventurers to come and try their luck.
It is said that this ice troll is a powerful and ancient mutant troll. Its body shape is somewhat similar to an orangutan in some aspects, but it is tall, at least four or five times the height of an adult's body. Its skin is as blue as frost and covered with gullies, and is extremely hard.
Unlike ordinary trolls, this mutated ice troll is extremely smart and cunning.
It lives in the intricate ice caves of the frost mountains all year round, and occasionally attacks passing caravans and travelers. Few people survive after seeing this troll, and most of them are eaten.
