Chapter 111 Don't You Think This Is Cool?

To these human beings, Tang Zhao can't be said to hate them very much. If he doesn't cherish his own life, no matter how much others persuade him, it will be useless.

Adventurers are undoubtedly a high-risk occupation, and the casualty rate is not much lower than that of the army. It does not mean how difficult their tasks are. This world has not yet reached the level of taking jujube pills, and there are not so many fatal dangers , many times it is simply that these adventurers are too arrogant and underestimate the enemy.

The world is not quite what they thought. It is not enough to drive away the ordinary goblins who harass the village, kill it monsters with some small means, and drive out a few kobolds with seemingly great power.

They might encounter drakes in the depths of dungeons, lizards in mountains, hordes of trolls in forests, hydras in swamps
Cautious adventurers will encounter this kind of situation, let alone these newcomers who are easy to underestimate the enemy.

Some guilds serving adventurers have made statistics. Most adventurers will quit in the first two years of their careers. These two years are also the time period with the highest casualty rate, and the survival rate of adventurers will be greatly improved in the future.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, adventurers have accumulated a lot of adventures and have experience in dealing with complex situations. In fact, these veterans will not rashly accept tasks beyond their ability, so the casualty rate will naturally drop a lot .

Some people will comment that this is contrary to the original intention of taking risks, but if you don't have the strength, you can only choose between taking risks and life.

[The roast pig at the Old Hogg Tavern is really delicious. When I was in the village before, I had never eaten food sprinkled with so many spices. Livestock are slaughtered, and we have the opportunity to eat meat only during important festivals every year. 】

[Lu Fude only has ingredients from the mountains here. If you have the opportunity, you must go to the capital. You can find delicious food from the entire continent there. Of course, you have to bring enough money. It depends on the few silver coins we earn now. The food and clothing are acceptable, but it is absolutely not enough to feast on the king's capital.So you have to save some money anyway, in your current state of being extravagant, once you don't entrust, you will be hungry. 】

[I know this for sure, so we are not saving money now, and it is for this reason that we accept boring commissions from merchants.]

He could vaguely hear the people below chatting in common language, Tang Zhao was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for 15 minutes, and the content of their chat was finally on the "right track".

From the conversation, it can be known that these human adventurers were hired by Lufford's merchant group, at least on the surface.

The tasks entrusted to them are also a bit speechless-the merchant wants a kind of mushroom that grows deep in the forest, so a large number of adventurers are needed to collect it, because the reward is very good, and the task itself is not very dangerous, so there are many The rookie adventurer team all accepted this commission.

Of course, this kind of entrustment is very "boring" in their hearts, because there are neither powerful treasure-collecting dragons nor necromancers who endanger the world outside the copper-nickel forest, and there are no terrifying plots brewing. It even looks like a very peaceful forest.

If there is something special about this kind of mushroom, it’s fine, but unfortunately, Tang Zhao and the others have been tinkering with mushrooms for the past few months, and they have naturally tried that kind of mushroom: it tastes bad, has no medicinal value or research Value, as for things like yield and ornamental value, it doesn't exist at all. There are many better varieties in the human world. Tang Zhao doesn't believe that these humans are better at playing with fungi than woodland residents.

In short, Tang Zhao believes that the "collecting fungi" mentioned by the businessman is just a pretense. In fact, he is sending people deep into the forest to find traces of the "fairies". It is best to get in touch with the goblin settlements directly.

Tang Zhao didn't know how they would act in the future. He would prepare for the worst. Numerous examples in history have proved that human beings are not good at coexisting with other species.

If Tang Zhao and the others behaved too weakly, what greeted them would not be olive branches and doves of peace, but swords and flames.

Even so, he wasn't too worried that these few human merchants would bring big trouble to the settlement.

Obviously, the merchants who use this method to collect information will not be too strong, at least they will not be able to threaten Tang Zhao and others in the forest.

Tang Zhao and the others actually have an army. Dwarves and elves are definitely worth the same number of elite human soldiers. Thanks to good equipment and good training, the second-class kobold soldiers are no more ordinary than humans. Where are the soldiers going?

In order to deal with the enemies that may attack at any time, they can be said to be all soldiers, and all kinds of fighters add up to thousands. There may not be so many, and it is more than enough to deal with merchant guards and mercenaries.

If they came to do business, Tang Zhao would of course welcome them. If they wanted to be robbers, then he would also welcome them. Whoever would rob would be the one to decide.

Looking at the humans circling around below with interest, he pondered how to use these human adventurers.
-
With a plan in mind, Tang Zhao took action immediately, and rushed back to the outpost to call for support.

The forest is the home of the woodland dwellers, and in this environment, what they want to do with these fledgling adventurers couldn't be simpler.

Bewitched by the illusion of several dryads, these human adventurers who had been circling in the outer forest finally found the right direction and began to head towards the depths of the forest.

In order to prevent them from losing patience at such a critical moment, the goblins specially used magic to urgently create a fake "Peach Blossom Spring" near them.

A stronghold built with simple magic and only inhabited by goblins looks exquisite at first glance, but in fact it cannot withstand scrutiny and has no traces of life. For those who are familiar with goblins or architecture, it is easy to get lost We can see the flaws.

However, Tang Zhao's "target of deception" obviously did not possess such superb qualities.

Under the deliberate guidance of the woodland residents, this group of adventurers discovered this settlement by accident.

Undoubtedly, the adventurers immediately felt that the gathering of goblins living in the depths of the forest was so cool, it fit their imagination of adventure, fantasy and fun.

Already dazzled by the new things in their fantasy, the dryads' exquisite looks, which are indistinguishable from elves, and their fairly good charm spells made them almost lose their ability to think.

Their racial talent is woodland magic and charm, and their skill level is no worse than that of sirens and harpies. The heroes in the biography of heroes still have their tricks, let alone these fledgling adventurers .

Facing this mysterious place they suddenly discovered, they didn't think too much, and walked in quickly with excitement and joy.
