Heroes of Invincible Beast Master

Chapter 178 Mystery Store
After most players arrive in a new town, the first stop is usually to run to the tavern, and Roddy is no exception.

Lizardman taverns are not much different from human taverns, but the drinks here are very expensive.

"The same glass of wine is five times more expensive than Riverside Town."

If you can transport a batch of wine from Hepan Town, you will definitely make a lot of money, but not to mention the distance between the two places, the danger on the way alone is enough to deter most businessmen.

Roddy ordered a glass of juice and began to look around in the tavern.

The sudden arrival of several outsiders caused quite a commotion in the tavern.

Luo Di chatted with the bartender for a while, and learned that there are very few outsiders in Wuzhen, and there may not be ten guests in a month.

"There are two lizard elites drinking, but they don't look like they can be recruited."

In addition to the lizardman, Roddy also saw a frogman and a zombie.

God knows why the lizards let a zombie into town, but Roddy did see a zombie elite drinking in a tavern.

"Maybe it's because they are all cold-blooded animals?" Rody suddenly felt a little black humor.

He tried to talk to the elite lizardmen, but the two lizardmen rejected him very coldly.

Bypassing the zombie, Rody came to sit next to the frogman.

"Hey bro, can I help you with anything?"

This is a frogman who looks very thin, so thin that his bones are exposed.

"Hello adventurer, I am undergoing a test of courage, and I need a warrior to escort me to the depths of the swamp."

"Trial?"

"Is there a time limit?"

"That's not true, but I'll stay here for three more days."

Frogman said that he has been in Wuzhen for a long time and will leave in a few days.

"I understand."

To enter the depths of the swamp, it is natural to have a long-term plan. If this frogman elite has the opportunity, Rody still wants to recruit him.

With a swamp native by his side, it will be much easier to move in the swamp.

After chatting with the frogman for a while, the two made an appointment. If there is a chance, they will go to the depths of the swamp together.

Rody didn't bother to pay attention to the remaining zombie, and even took a detour.

"Mr. bartender, is there any mission in Fog Town?"

In such a big town, missions are definitely indispensable, and Luo Di wants to improve Wuzhen's reputation first.

In short, let's gain a firm foothold here before talking about other things.

The bartender gave Rody a list of tasks, "There are very few adventurers in Fog Town, and there are a lot of tasks left over time."

Rody took a look at the task list, good guy, there are seventy or eighty tasks, ranging from hunting the evil dragon king Babassa to cleaning up the sewers and picking up garbage, everything in a mess.

Rody did a simple calculation. If he could complete all these tasks, at least he would be able to increase Wuzhen's reputation to Respect, and by the way, the Lizardman's reputation to Intimacy.

But he looked carefully for a while, and it was not without reason that many tasks here would be left behind.

Either it's too much hassle, it's too cumbersome, or the rewards are too small, or the goals are too powerful.

The ones that are a little easier to do have already been taken care of by others, so it's his turn.

Roddy should be the first player to reach Fog Town, so this task list can barely be regarded as a benefit.

After carefully selecting for a while, he picked out four more interesting tasks from it.

①: Kill evil spirits
Kill the evil spirit leader in the evil ghost pool and bring back its head.

Mission rewards: Lizard (Tier 2) Team [-], Fog Town reputation, Lizardman reputation.

②: Clean up the flies.

The mines in the southwest are often harassed by flies. Help the miners to clean up some flies.

Task reward: a small team of crocodiles (level 1), prestige in Wuzhen.

③: Looking for young children
In Fog Town, children often go missing recently. Find these children and bring them back safely.

Mission rewards: Beast Soul Tattoo (1 time), Fog Town reputation, Lizardman reputation.

④: Gather toad cake
Go to the hermit tribe of frogmen, collect or buy 100 units of toad venom.

Task reward: Scroll of witchcraft/potion formula (one copy), Presbyterian reputation.

The first three tasks were specially selected by Rody, and the last one, collecting toad venom, was picked up because of the frogman.

Except for these few tasks, the rest were troublesome, impossible to complete, or not very profitable. Rody returned the list of tasks.

"Mr. Bartender, may I ask if there are any distinctive buildings in Wuzhen?"

This question, Rody asked the right person. The bartenders in the Lizardman Tavern are quite knowledgeable even in the entire Wuzhen.

Ninety-nine percent of the lizardmen in Wuzhen have never been to the outside world, and almost all their knowledge of the outside world comes from outside adventurers.

The bartender introduced Rody to the special buildings in the town, and then recommended a shop to him.

"This is a good place, you must go and see it."

"Ding, you found the mystery shop."

A special mark was displayed on the small map, and Roddy gave the bartender a strange look, not quite understanding his intentions.

"here is?"

"It's a good place, you'll know it when you go there."

The mysterious look of the bartender made Roddy even more strange.

"Is it a black market?"

Speaking of which, this place is not far from the seaside, so it's normal for pirates to secretly ship goods.

After leaving the tavern, Rody first went to some functional buildings in the town, which were similar to normal towns. Due to insufficient prestige level, most places were not open to him.

"Go to the mystery shop and have a look."

Although there were a lot of tasks in the tavern, Rody didn't want to dig into the sewer to dig up garbage. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and came to the mysterious shop that the bartender told him.

Similar to the black market in Riverside Town, the mysterious shop is a small, ordinary-looking shop. After Rody took out the token given by the bartender, the owner immediately took him to the back room.

"Please come in."

What's interesting is that the other party didn't receive an entrance fee, but directly invited them into the secret room.

Looking at the dark passage, Rody nodded towards Xiong Da. With Xiong Da and the others by his side, he was not worried about being in danger.

Entering the secret room, Rody soon discovered that a mysterious man hidden in a black robe was already waiting for him inside.

"Several guests, do you need anything?"

"I buy/sell all kinds of information here, buy/sell all kinds of magic items, voodoo, strange things, etc."

The services of the mystery shop are not the same as other places, they sell information and receive information.

Selling magic items, and also accepting magic items, this place seems to be opened by a group of mysterious businessmen who buy and sell.

Rody was a little curious about their identities, who would open such a store in Fog Town?
"Can you let me see first, the intelligence and magic items you sell?"

"Of course." The mysterious man opened up the store permission for Rody, and introduced, "Although our products are not many, the quality is guaranteed."

Rody browsed the store for a while, and found that most of the items inside were special products of swamps and oceans.

Most of the information collected and sold in the mystery shop is related to the ocean/swamp.

Vaguely, Rody had some guesses about their identities.

At this moment, Xiong Da secretly clung to Rody's ear and whispered a piece of information, "I smell a fishy smell."

Roddy nodded quietly, indicating that he knew.

"I like this drawing very much, can I exchange it with other items?"

The prices in the mysterious store are about 3% higher than those in the normal store, and it would be a bit of a loss if you buy it normally. Rody tried to use other ways to trade.

"can."

"Information, magic items of the same level, or strange objects are all fine." The mysterious businessman took out a small golden scale from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

When the businessman was holding the scale, Roddy keenly discovered that he was using a mechanical hand.

"As long as the scales are balanced, the deal is done."

As he said that, the businessman put the blueprint that Rody had seen on it.
