The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 304 Mission Selection
  After getting Allen's answer, Cole went back to discuss with Tom and the others, and finally decided to continue on the road with this batch of materials.

However, when they passed the caravan, the caravan manager looked very interested and wanted to make a purchase deal with Kerr and the others, and the price he offered seemed pretty good. However, after hesitating for a long time, Kerr and the others still rejected the other party's proposal with difficulty.

According to Tom, they had no idea how much these materials were actually worth. Although the price proposed by the other party made them very excited, the more so, the more it meant that if these materials were shipped to Mansha City , it is very likely to be sold at a higher price!

Allen was eavesdropping on the side, his eyes full of relief and approval. When he took his tribe on an adventure, he gained a lot in the end because he didn't understand these principles and was bought at a low price by the humans of the Silver Silver Caravan. He suffered a lot for this. What a loss!

Apart from encountering sporadic demon soldiers along the way, there was almost no danger. It seemed that this demon invasion had indeed brought a lot of damage to the wilderness. Of course, the lives of the dozens of large and medium-sized tribal groups that passed by on the way were still the same, but they were relatively little affected by this crisis and could still maintain basic stability.

After all, tribes with powerful men above Legend cannot be defeated by relying on numerical superiority. If the demon army cannot collect enough flesh and blood resources, it will not be able to allow stronger Legend-level demons to travel long distances to the Feynman World. That is, Basically, they are not qualified to attack a tribe with a legend.

After the caravan episode, Kerr and the others were much firmer in determination, and everyone collectively agreed to take the goods to Mansha City and sell them.

The only thing that changed was that Kerr borrowed dozens of silver coins from Allen and bought a batch of saltpeter. While on the way, she and her friends tanned the fur bit by bit to make a better-sale finished product. Although this would bring a lot of inconvenience to Kerr and the others who were on their way, everyone tolerated it in order to make more money and at the same time eliminate the smell of rotten flesh on their fur.

By the time everyone saw the majestic and majestic buildings in Mansha City from a distance, it was already the beginning of the fourth month after Allen and the others left the Green Field Plain.

Mansha City, this city in the heart of the wilderness where Allen once lived and stayed for more than three months, seems to have not changed at all in the past ten years, except that the moss marks on the outer walls of the city have become heavier. Allen saw the gate to the north of the city at this time. The first time he saw Mansha City more than ten years ago seemed like just yesterday.

The city is still prosperous, and although there are far fewer travelers and caravans coming in and out than in the past, there is still an endless stream of people coming and going inside and outside the city. Businessmen always like to take risks. Even though the chaos of the Evil God has not yet calmed down, there are still many scattered demons roaming the wilderness, but they can no longer stop this group of desperadoes who are rushing for profit.

The tall and majestic city wall with a slight curvature on the outside of the city made Kerr and her group look very small, just like when they first saw the huge oak tree Besir in the inner city of Thorn Castle, which was as tall as the sky. Same as wheat.

"Wow!!"

A group of bumpkin-like goblins, with expressions of surprise, envy, etc. in their eyes, stopped at the outer circle of the north gate of the city, but did not take a step towards the city.

"Teacher, is this really our own city in the wilderness?"

Tom walked up to Alan with his short legs and disbelieving eyes and asked softly.

Although Castle of Thorns is prosperous, it is not a friendly place to the ignorant people in the wilderness. In addition, the vast majority of elves have arrogant personalities, and they will not have a good attitude toward the lowest races in their eyes, such as Kerr and Tom. Therefore, even though Kerr and Tom visited Castle of Thorns many times, their fondness for it was not even as good as that of Green Lake Village.

"Yes, this is the city that belongs to our wilderness tribe!"

After many years of separation, and now that he is back again, Allen's mood is not small. He doesn't know if all the friends he met in the city are still there!

"In the future, our tribe will definitely have a place in this city!"

"So, for this dream of being a teacher, you all have to work hard for me!!"

I don't know when, Kerr and the others gathered around. When they heard Allen's earnest words of expectation, everyone shouted energetically from the bottom of their hearts: "Okay!!!"

"Let's go to the city!!!"

Allen waved his hand, and a group of people slowly walked towards the city under his leadership.

"and many more!!"

"Come here and pay the tax, one silver coin per person!"

The high morale had just risen, and then was knocked down by a word from a kobold who had been staring at Allen and the others at the door for a long time.

"..."

"Ok!"

Allen touched his wallet, took out fifteen silver coins with an expressionless expression, and handed them into the hand of the kobold tax collector.

Along the way, just the head tax collected from the tribal towns around the trade road cost Allen almost 2 gold coins. These tribes who occupy the right time and place can develop to the present level more or less because of contamination. The benefits of prosperous business roads. If his tribe could have such a geographical location, he would not have to work hard to find a stable source of thorns. At the same time, the development of the tribe would not be so slow. Allen was filled with emotion.

"Okay, let's go in!"

The kobold tax collector nodded the silver coins in his hand, and then lazily let the city guard around him let him go with a contemptuous look in his eyes.

After the experience at the door, the turbulent emotions in Allen's heart gradually calmed down. He led the teenagers on the bustling road, then found the target and headed towards the natural god temple complex in the south of the city.

Regarding Mansha City, Allen is most familiar with the area in the south city close to the temples of many natural gods. Therefore, Allen, Kerr and the others are also preparing to settle down in a tavern near the temple in the south city this time. Of course, Allen could actually take Kerr and the others to seek accommodation in the monastery of the Oak Temple, but since he hasn't been to the temple in Mansa City for so many years, Allen was too embarrassed to go to the monastery for his first visit.

Captain Nordin, Priest Redel, and other acquaintances of Allen's in the Oak Temple did not know if they had changed over the years, so Allen planned to find a tavern to stay in before slowly visiting them.

The Maple Leaf Tavern in Nancheng District is considered a relatively safe place in Mansha City because it is adjacent to the temple. However, even so, the tavern is still a mixed bag of fish and dragons and a smoky atmosphere. Allen and this group of goblins appeared in the noisy tavern hall. Inside, many unkind eyes began to glance at Allen and the others unscrupulously.

This is not the first time that Kerr and the others have come into contact with these places. However, when they were in Thornburg, they had their own houses. Occasionally they would be anxious about places like taverns, and they would come and go in a hurry. It was not like they are now in the presence of so many wilderness natives. , in the eyes of foreign adventurers, they stopped for a long time.

Kerr is a bold and heroic character. At this time, she didn't feel much uncomfortable when facing so many looks. Instead, she hummed and stared at her surroundings with a pair of big phoenix eyes. At the same time, she did not forget to pat the epee behind her to encourage herself. gas.

The other goblins had different spirits: some like Irene, who had a weaker personality, lowered her head and looked at the ground, advancing and retreating with the team members; some like Bush, who had no feeling, scratching his head and body naively, There was calmness in their eyes; and others like Shusheng and Kerr, who were very considerate of their companions, stood outside to block many prying eyes.

"..."

Allen originally didn't want to pay attention to the dozens of looks in the tavern, but after seeing the uncomfortable looks on the little guys like Erin, he took a step forward, and the power of the strong man who had restrained himself suddenly dissipated. , causing the surrounding eyes to quickly retract on the spot.

Although Allen has not yet found his own legendary path at this time, he already has some of the mental coercion of a strong man, which is enough to scare the bullies in the tavern. .

As an adventurer, what he is best at is naturally observing a person's actions and quickly judging a person's strength. In the goblin team in front of us now, there is a bugbear who doesn't seem to be that strong. His eyes are like a sharp blade, which can directly penetrate into the depths of a person's heart. The dignified iron aura on his body all reflects this. Bugbears are extraordinary.

"Hello sir, we don't allow wild animals in our tavern."

A human waiter boldly walked up to Allen and the others, pointed at Xiaobai's strong body, and said awkwardly.

"It's not a beast, that's my partner!"

Linus, who was hiding in the crowd, popped up, waving the short snow-white oak staff in his hand. At the same time, he asked Xiao Bai to squat down, jumped up on Xiao Bai's back, and then revealed his body. The short green robes worn by druid apprentices.

"We are here to move in. Please help us get some rooms."

"Just think of it as a goblin, and collect the money when it's time to collect it."

Allen doesn't want Xiaobai to be too far away from Linus. After all, Linus is too weak. With Xiaobai, who is very vigilant, protecting him, he can at least prevent a lot of accidents.

"...Ah, okay!"

After seeing what Linus was wearing, the human waiter felt a little less uneasy. At least when it came to communicating with animals, druids were unquestionable experts. Of course, the human waiters were more interested in Allen's willingness to pay the bill for a warg to stay in the hotel. No one wanted to have trouble with the money, as long as they could take care of this warg who seemed to be difficult to deal with.

"How many rooms do you want?"

"Let's take five rooms. Except for the two single rooms, the remaining three will be rooms with double beds next to each other."

Allen glanced at Kerr and the group of teenagers, and gave his answer after making a mental calculation.

"Sir, there are so many of you, will it be too crowded to just open these few rooms..."

"Okay, I'll go now."

The human waiter originally wanted to persuade them, but when Allen glanced at them with a cold look, he shut his mouth knowingly and went to help Allen and the others check in with the tavern manager.

Accompanying the human companions was Tom, a dwarf. Since Tom had shown intelligence that was superior to other goblins, Allen was ready to let him be responsible for the communication between the team and the outside world and the arrangements for daily life.

If these daily communication matters are left to guys like Kerr and Bush, Allen suspects that they have been sold out and may still be counting money for others!
  After settling the goblins, Alan took Tom out of the Maple Leaf Tavern and went straight to the Oak Temple, which he had not visited for many years. At the same time, he did not forget to wear the oak leaf badge that he had bought for several silver coins.

"Hello, priest, I would like to ask, among the priests in your temple, is there a priest named Redel Bede. He is a dwarf priest."

There have been some changes in the Oak Temple in Mansha City. Many exquisite stone sculptures have been added, and many small flower beds with flowers have been built in open areas. Allen stopped a young priest passing by and asked politely. stand up.

"Sorry, fellow believer, I have not heard of the name of the priest Redel."

The young priest, who was wearing an emerald green robe and was not yet qualified to wear a priestly badge, faced Allen's question. After carefully recalling the names of the priests in the temple, he shook his head and gave Allen a negative answer.

"What about Captain Nordin Soris? Is he in the temple?"

"I'm sorry, Captain Nordin took the knights out to carry out the mission of exterminating demons. It has been half a year since I returned to the temple."

"Thank you then.

With apology, the young priest bowed slightly and left amidst Allen's disappointment.

Allen didn't know many people in the Mansha Oak Temple, and there were a few temple chefs, but until now Allen couldn't remember the other person's name. Moreover, even if you find these chefs, what's the use? At most, everyone will just say goodbye to each other after greetings.

Since he couldn't find an acquaintance, Allen simply took Tom and walked around the side hall on the right side of the temple to see the temple tasks hanging in the side hall.

Generally speaking, a temple is divided into several parts. The main hall area is where statues of gods and gods are erected for all believers to pay their respects, pray, and make donations; the side hall on the left is where the daily tasks of the temple are enacted, and An area that provides various services to believers and believers; the monastery on the right is where believers and believers live, and is also where priests and priests do their daily homework; at the same time, there is a wide area behind the temple. It serves as daily training for the Temple Knights, taming war horses, providing food and other functions.

Allen is very clear about these areas. After all, he has been in this temple for 3-4 months. Although many places have changed, in general, Allen can still effectively identify these areas. regional.

"Chasing a six-armed snake demon, peak level 15. Current information shows that the opponent is active in the White Sand Salt Land area. Those who can bring back the snake demon's head can exchange the snake demon's head for 30 temple merit points."

"Escort a batch of supplies to the Centaur Grassland. After the task is completed, you will receive 20 temple merit points."

"Recruit 20 adventurers to kill the demon team wandering around the Nagan Hills..."

"Assist the temple to ambush the legendary mid-level Balor fire demon Pan Ao. After completing the task, according to merit, you can get a legendary expertise crystal at the most and an advanced career inheritance crystal at the minimum..."

Just like what Master Oscar said, when Allen and the others approached the side hall, the spacious and bright hall was filled with notice boards with various tasks hanging in the air, most of which were related to demons. Allen saw that Dizzying.

It's just a pity that most of the demon army summoned by the wilderness evil god's rebellion was wiped out with the concerted efforts of hundreds of tribe members in Mansha and the natural temple. Most of the demon armies still surviving in the wilderness are scattered small branches, or simply strong abyss demons fighting alone. Every task is not easy.

Those tasks that were relatively easy in the early days of the Evil God Rebellion were completed by countless adventurers and wilderness tribes in Mansha City long before Allen and the others came out.

Of course, there are tasks with relatively rich rewards, such as reinforcing the Centaur Grassland, going to the Kingdom of Spring to send intelligence, etc., but they all involve taking huge risks and require more time.

Not only was Allen raising his head and paying attention to the many tasks in the side hall, but Tom beside him was also concentrating on looking for tasks suitable for their team.

After some searching, Allen felt that there were several tasks that were suitable for him to follow. The only trouble was finding the target.

Among the scattered lone demons, most of them are demons who are about to enter the legend. However, Allen has fought against two high-level peak demons, Feiluoer and Hongjira before, so he is very confident in such a task.

It's just that at this time, Allen hasn't completely made up his mind about which mission to take on. Before Kerr and his team of young novices have adapted to the career of adventurers, Allen will not easily let these guys leave his sight.

He glanced at Tom next to him with his peripheral vision. There was a lot of hesitation in the little guy's eyes at this time. He seemed to be interested in many of the tasks, but he didn't know how to choose.

When he was in the village before, although Tom's mind was flexible, he often just gave suggestions and let Kerr and the others make choices. Now he was asked to choose from countless mission notices. No wonder he would A little confused.

"How's it going? Have you decided which mission to take?"

Alan spoke suddenly, drawing the attention of Tom's slightly frowning little face.

"I think we can try the mission of killing a group of demon skirmishers first..."

Tom's tone didn't seem to have much confidence, and he didn't even dare to look into Alan's eyes when he spoke.

"Okay, then take this mission!"

Allen made the decision on the spot. Without looking at Tom's face and expression, he walked to the bottom of the notice, gently pulled the rope hanging in the air, took the notice board in his hand, and then walked to the front desk on the left side of the entrance to the side hall. .

"I want to take on this mission."

Allen handed over the notice board with the task "Recruit 20 adventurers and kill the demon team wandering around the Nagan Hills..." A troll priest wearing an emerald green priest robe looked up. , frowned and said: "Hello fellow believer, this mission requires 20 adventurers, because the number of demon teams hiding in Nagen Hills is around 60, of which there are at least 10 mid-level demons, you... …”

The troll priest also wanted to dissuade Allen from this idea, because he did not see any other companions around Allen, except for a dwarf warrior who was not very strong at first glance. However, as Allen's body exuded a faint mental pressure, and under Allen's sharp eyes, the troll priest finally gave up the idea of ​​persuading Allen.

If Allen really has the strength of a high-level combat class, then this group of demons with only 5-60 people may not be Allen's opponent. Sword Dancer, a kind of mid-to-high-level combat class with advanced agility and advanced shadows, can come and go with ease even when faced with a large number of low- and mid-level demons. They can easily kill these demons one by one without falling into into the enemy's siege.

"Are there any other quests related to Nagan Hills? Or quests that are close by?"

Allen was still not satisfied and thought of doing one or two more tasks, which would be more efficient.

"Sorry, there are no such tasks in our temple for the time being, but you can go to the government affairs hall of the city guard. Maybe there are related tasks there."

The Troll Priest shook his head. The most tasks issued by the temple during the Evil God Rebellion were all related to demons. Now as the number of demons invading the wilderness gradually decreases, the number of tasks in the temple is actually not too many, so among the trolls In the priest's memory, there were not many missions near Nagen Hills.

"Ok."

Allen was a little regretful. The mission of killing demon skirmishers did not give too many merit points in the end. Most of them were calculated based on the demon heads killed, 3 mid-level demons 1 merit point, 15 low-level demons A demon's 1 merit point is far less than the income from killing a high-level peak demon.

But in order to familiarize the teenagers like Kerr with the rules of adventurers, Allen had no choice but to accept this task.

"Father, please register your emblem with me."

This was not the first time that Allen had taken on a temple mission. Allen had taken on several missions to find materials before in Castle of Thorns, and he already knew the specific steps for taking on temple missions.

But now, because Tom is here, Alan did not forget to guide Tom and let him understand the steps to take over the temple mission. He also spent 10 silver coins to help Tom buy an oak leaf badge from the Troll Priest, and at the same time, he helped Tom buy an oak leaf badge from the Troll Priest. Tom's identity information is filled in and registered.

As for Kerr and the others, just wait until the next time you bring them here and register them one by one. When the time comes, it will be time for them to use the money they earn to purchase the emblems.

Temples and adventurers have their own bronze emblems. This is the simplest and cheapest magic prop. It is engraved with a zero-level trick that can store your own mental fluctuations and general mission information, which can help adventurers when receiving , after completing the task, verify their identity.

"Okay, fellow believers. If you do not complete the mission within 2 months, or come back to continue the mission, we will treat it as a failure of your mission."

The only advantage of the temple mission is that you don’t have to pay a deposit, and there are no specific penalties, except that the failure of your mission will be recorded in the badge. Like many team-based adventurer missions, there are many requirements for those who take on the mission, such as paying a deposit, signing a magic contract, and so on.

"Ok."

Allen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"By the way, can you print a map of the Nagen Hills?"

Allen suddenly thought that he knew nothing about the location of the so-called Nagan Hills. The map in his hand contained more information about the Green Field Plain and the Tagan Desert.

"I'm sorry, you have to go to the library management department of the city guard for this and spend 1 gold coin to make a rubbing."

In Feynman's world, knowledge is money. It is impossible to obtain knowledge for free. Even the library established in Mansha City requires money to buy tickets before you can enter the library to check information and books. "OK, thanks."

Allen nodded, and after everything was settled, he took Tom to the tavern where they were.

"Teacher, where have you been?"

Among the five rooms next to each other, except for Allen's room where he stayed alone, the other four rooms, which were not very spacious, were all crowded with people. Only the rooms of the two little guys Kerr and Irene were crowded. It's relatively empty, but after stuffing the big guy like Xiao Bai, there's not much room left for Shao Shao.

As for the rooms of Bush and other male teenagers, all the space was naturally used, and some furs were randomly laid on the floor, which was regarded as a bed for rest.

When Allen and Tom came back, Kerr had already assigned rooms to all the teenagers. After seeing Allen disappearing for a while, she jumped over and rushed over.

"Tom and I went to see the temple's mission. Tomorrow we will set off to the Nagan Hills to carry out the mission."

Allen spoke to Kerr calmly, and at the same time glanced at Tom and said, "You can ask Tom about specific tasks."

"So, before the sun goes down, you have to sell the materials you have on you and prepare at least one and a half months' worth of drinking water, food, and other supplies you think are useful."

"As for me, I won't care about you tonight. I'm going to the city guard's mansion to see if there are any suitable tasks."

"Oh."

After hearing this, the excitement in Kerr's eyes flashed away. She was not very interested in adventurers or anything like that, but if there was a chance to fight, she could show off her skills.

After Allen explained the matter clearly to Kerr and the others, he really no longer cared about how Kerr and the others would go about finding chambers of commerce and shops to sell the only valuable property in their hands.

Tom had already written down every quotation given by the caravan he met when he came, at Alan's instruction. Therefore, the final proceeds from the sale of this batch of property in Mansha City will definitely not be cheated too much, at least it should not be lower than the highest bid from the caravan on the road, but the specific amount of funds that can be obtained is not what Allen can predict. .

In the end, what Kerr and the others will purchase is not something Allen will pay attention to. Since he brings the teenagers out for experience, the teenagers have to understand and contact the daily purchases and sales by themselves.

Allen observed all the way while heading towards the direction of the city guard's palace in his memory, and then after half a magic hour, he arrived at the inner city city guard's palace. The familiar city guard's mansion has not changed much. There are still tall ogre guards at the gate. These big men are very intimidating as guards when they stop there, but it is a pity that there is missing a face that Allen was once familiar with.

The government affairs hall of the City Shou Mansion was right next to the City Shou Mansion. There were a lot of people coming and going at this time, but everyone was in a hurry, and some people even had a faint smell of blood or scars on their bodies.

From time to time, adventurers shout loudly in the government hall, or invite friends or temporarily recruit team members to take on a certain task together.

Allen did not stop, and walked into the government affairs hall, and then looked for suitable tasks among the dense task notice boards. Due to current technology, if an adventurer wants to take on a task related to a certain area, most of them have to search through numerous notice boards by themselves. If they want to take shortcuts, they have to spend money to bribe the staff at the government affairs hall. Personnel, perhaps one of them has a good memory, can help find the task that suits the adventurer's requirements from among the many tasks.

Obviously, Allen had no intention of spending money to find the staff. He planned to look for a good one himself first, and if he really couldn't find it, he would talk about it later. Allen, who has always been used to being thrifty, still thought it would be good to save some silver coins at this time. Anyway, he had nothing to do before going to bed at night.

There were numerous mission notice boards, and under the illumination of countless fluorite and the sunlight outside, the general text on them was clearly visible. Allen searched for a long time without much gain.

The tasks in the Mansha City Government Affairs Hall are different from the tasks in the temple. If the tasks in the temple are more focused on the demons coming from across the border, then the tasks in the Mansha City Government Affairs Hall are more focused on the wilderness. of indigenous tribes.

For example, the notice board that Allen was looking at at this time read as follows: "We are now recruiting a team of adventurers to escort a batch of supplies to the Shafu tribe. We will reward you with 200 coins."

"The Edsa Tribe on the shores of Edsa Lake is now recruiting a group of laborers. Those with construction experience and knowledge will be given priority..."

Many tasks are not related to combat, but are closely related to the survival and construction of a certain tribe. This is a type of task that Allen has rarely seen before. Of course, there are also combat tasks here, many of which are about chasing down a lone powerful demon, or a group of scattered demons.

"Reward: There is a level 15 peak mad war demon in Yunwu Mountain. Anyone who can get its head and body can exchange it for 1000 gold coins from the Bogard tribe."

"Recruit 15 mid-level adventurers and several low-level adventurers to gather at the Dolphin Campbell Tribe, and accompany them to kill a group of demon stragglers..."

Of course, the task of collecting various resources and materials for powerful tribes in the wilderness is still indispensable. Even though the wilderness is in chaos now, everyone has not stopped consolidating and developing the tribe.

After Allen's search, he found nothing. For example, he found a mission issued in the name of the City Guards on the most conspicuous notice board. The content of the mission was clear, that is, he could bring back the devil's head. You can exchange for various rewards at the city guard's mansion, from money to materials, even books, and inheritance crystals.

However, the more valuable something is, the higher its value will be, and the more demon heads will need to be paid. For example, a heritage crystal requires at least 7 or more heads of the Mad War Demon, and more than 5 or more of the Six-Armed Snake Demon. head.

In the abyss, different races have different levels of strength. For example, the Mad War Demon and the Snake Demon are undoubtedly high-level strength levels above level 13, while the Horned Demon, Samsara Demon, etc. are the middle-level strength level and above. , as for the legendary level demons, they are mostly soul demons, Balor Balrogs, and tieflings, with some high-level demons who have successfully advanced but are unwilling to evolve to a taller body.

With this mission reward, as long as Allen kills a demon in the wild, regardless of whether it is contaminated with the mission, Allen can get corresponding rewards.

Thinking of this, Allen suddenly thought of something. The race of demons is fixed, but as enemies, whether it is the temple or the Mansha City garrison, they have no way to tell whether these corpses are mission bounty targets.

Then, you can take over all the tasks related to killing high-level demons according to race, and then if you happen to encounter any type of demon on the way, you can kill them and bring them back, and give them to the temple or the city guard to complete them yourself. It’s a mission!
  After such a flash of inspiration, Allen thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible, so he started to take action, looking for tasks in the city guard's mansion that were related to killing high-level demons that did not require any requirements, and then took these tasks to the government affairs hall. Go to the registration desk at the door and ask the staff to register.

"Are you sure you want to take on these tasks?"

Allen took on 4-5 tasks at once, but he didn't attract any surprised looks from the dwarf behind the registration desk. He just asked him calmly. The only thing that moved him was that Allen was obviously thin. With such a bugbear figure, he could actually be a high-level warrior.

"Yes."

Allen nodded, and then took out an adventurer's emblem that he had prepared long ago. It was a pattern of three long swords intersecting in one place and being held in the arms of a graceful woman with a long skirt.

Adventurer emblems and temple emblems do not conflict with each other, and their functions are similar. However, they are used to avoid friction between daily life and faith. Therefore, most people will use adventurer emblems when accepting city guard missions and tavern missions. , and when accepting temple missions, you will choose to use the unique emblem of each temple.

What Allen didn't know was that the mission loophole he thought he was thinking of had actually been discovered by adventurers long ago, and had also been known by the temples, government affairs halls and other institutions that issued the mission. However, institutions such as temples and city guards that issue tasks do not care whether the demon head turned over is the one they are tasked with. As long as there is a demon head, it means that a powerful demon has been eliminated. , no loss at all.

As for the original target in the mission area, as long as it is not eliminated, it will still show up sooner or later. At that time, we only need to set up a new mission. Will there be any losses to the temple and the city guard?
  As for task distribution points such as taverns, the chambers of commerce, forces or individuals that issue tasks will naturally have their own methods of identification, or simply send people to accompany the team to trigger the task and supervise the actions of the adventurers.

"Okay, I wish you good luck in your mission."

The dwarf left the mission information in Allen's badge, and when he returned it to Allen, he had an extra silver coin in his hand. The other person raised his head and looked at Allen with a more questioning look.

"I want to know if there are any missions near Nagan Hills?"

"Nagan Hills? Let me see..."

The dwarf frowned and thought for a while, feeling that he had no impression. Then he pulled out an account book from under the table. After some searching, he finally found a task to manage, and the tip given by Allen was not in vain.

"There is a mission about the Nagen Hills. The local kobold Korrik tribe needs a team of adventurers to help them kill the demon team that infests the hills. The reward is 5 raw rubies."

"But it is required to arrive at Nagen Hills within ten days after accepting the mission..."

"Any more?"

Allen was a little dissatisfied. The goal of this mission obviously overlapped with the temple mission. Kerr and the others could complete two tasks at the same time, but for Allen, this was still not challenging and inefficient. Allen hopes that there will be more tasks related to Nagen Hills, so that he can take care of Kerr and her team, and at the same time, he will not delay himself in earning more profits.

"Ah? Let me see again..."

Seeing Allen's dissatisfied look, the dwarf held back his unhappiness. If it weren't for the fact that Allen was a gnome, the dwarf registrar might not have taken the trouble to satisfy him just because of this silver coin. rude guy asked.

Allen waited boredly for the dwarf to check the account book. At the same time, he glanced at the various pedestrians rushing around, and suddenly there was an uncomfortable feeling in his mind, as if something invisible was approaching him.

Without thinking, Allen's big, thick hands grabbed the place where he intuitively thought something was wrong. He grabbed a warm entity in the lower ribs where there should have been nothing. However, before Allen could squeeze the thing, he grabbed it. Really, the other party took it back smoothly. Then Allen turned around and saw a familiar elf face with a little embarrassment, teasing and other emotions on his face.

"Hi!!"

Elf Assassin Albian was indeed a little embarrassed. He just wanted to use his professional ability to greet and play with Allen, the bugbear he met by chance, but he unexpectedly ended up in trouble.

However, he forgot that his relationship with Allen did not seem to be very close, and the two parties had not seen each other for more than ten years, and the other party may not still remember him. Of course, Albian was deeply impressed by Allen, a bugbear who had been looking for the path to legend more than ten years ago and was as tall as their elves. Albian had only met such a bugbear in these years. That’s all.

The memory has always been good, and because of the long lifespan of elves, they are different from other races in judging time. After Albian accidentally discovered Allen, a bugbear who he had worked with before and had a good impression of, Albian felt a little excited in his heart. Want to take a joke idea and make it a reality.

"Humph!"

Fortunately, Allen's memory was not bad. Of course, it was also related to the fact that during the days when he stayed in Mansha City, he only interacted with a few people. At this time, Allen suddenly met an acquaintance. Allen was originally very happy. It's just that the way the other party greeted him was not so friendly. You should know that Allen and the other party have not seen each other for more than ten years. If they suddenly meet each other at this time, Allen will naturally not give the other party a good look.

Albian was still very thick-skinned. Although Allen had a bad look in his eyes, he didn't take it seriously and still talked to Allen cordially.

"...That bitch Kaiya still mentions you from time to time. It seems she has a good impression of you..."

Although the initial encounter made Allen have little affection for Albian, now that he has met this acquaintance, Allen doesn't mind talking to him a few more words and getting to know the only person he knows in Mansha City. The situation of several other people.

"...Richard, this guy, went back to their land of ice and snow a few years ago, but I heard that he came here again more than a year ago, but I haven't seen him recently."

"In the first few years after you left, we collaborated several times. Later, after Richard returned, we all had less contact. Except for meeting Kaiya on a few missions, we had no contact with each other at other times. There’s not much contact anymore.”

"But last time I hunted down a snake demon, I asked Kaiya for help."

Although Albian likes to be a loner and is relatively indifferent to others, as an adventurer, he actually needs the help of partners for many tasks. Naturally, his partners must be powerful high-level professionals who are recognized by him. It just so happened that the strength they showed each other when they first met was the best among adventurers, so Albian has not stopped in these years. Contact with Kaia, Richard.

"What about you, how have these years been?"

"It's okay, that's it."

Allen responded calmly. When he heard that Kaiya and Richard were still active in Mansha City, Allen was still a little disturbed. However, he had always been cautious in the outside world, and his expression naturally seemed dull. some.

"What mission did you take on this time? Do you need help?"

Although Allen was cold, Albian seemed enthusiastic and approached Allen and continued to ask questions.

"I'm sorry, sir. Apart from the Korrik tribe's missions, I don't have any missions in the Nagan Hills."

The dwarf staff also looked through the task book at this time, but could not find any task that met Allen's requirements. They could only look up helplessly and make an apologetic expression to Allen.

"Okay, thank you. I'll take this task too."

Allen smiled politely and then said.

"Are you going to the Nagan Hills? There aren't any missions worth your while there, right?"

In the past year or so, Albian has spent most of his time in the Government Hall and several taverns. He is very familiar with most of the tasks in the hall. Therefore, he was a little surprised when he heard that the dwarf registrar was Razornagan Hill. Looking at Allen.

"I accepted the mission for the little guys in the clan."

Allen did not raise his head, waiting for the dwarf registrar to register the mission information, then took back his adventurer badge, and then prepared to leave.

"Let's get together when we have time. Call Kaiya and the others."

Seeing Allen's expression, Albian lost interest in continuing the conversation, and then politely dropped a word.

"Okay, I'll treat you to it then."

Allen turned around and nodded seriously, which surprised Albian, who was a little unhappy. Then he quickly put on a polite smile, and the matter was settled.

"Okay, I'll be responsible for contacting them both."

"OK, bye."

After a quick glance, Allen said goodbye and left. He still had to go to the city library to print maps around Mansha City.

After Allen left, Albian's eyes also turned cold. He was indeed a little abrupt before, but it was because he was itching to test the strength of Allen, a bugbear. Now it seems that the opponent is more than ten years old. Over the past year, I have made considerable progress, and I can easily discover my hidden potential.

However, the more powerful the other party is, the happier he is. He has been eyeing a task for a long time, but unfortunately it is impossible for him to complete it alone. If he can take this opportunity to bring together Allen, Kaiya and Li If Chad acts together, the possibility of completing this mission is not small.

Thinking of this, Albian's sinister eyes suddenly became less cold and more smiling, and then he left the government affairs hall calmly.

The sudden encounter did not have much impact on Allen's psychology. When he rushed to the library after saying goodbye to Albian, he happened to catch up with the library for retreat. It took Allen a lot of effort to finally complete the rubbing of the map by himself. Purpose, and the price paid is the price of 2 gold coins. Of course, the harvest is not small. The blank parchment prepared by Allen himself is now densely covered with various logos, and all the rough information about the thousand-mile radius of Mansha City has been printed on it.

Nagan Hills is more than 1,200 miles northwest of Mansha City. Along the way, Allen and the others need to pass through the territories of several wilderness tribes.

In the past, Allen and the others naturally did not have to worry about any accidents. After all, Mansha City, as the heart of the wilderness, has always been very safe. The more than 100 members of the tribe who maintain the safety of Mansha City do not allow anyone or forces to be in the area. If you cause trouble within the radiation range of Mansha City, you will inevitably face the wrath of the powerful tribes in the entire wilderness.

However, the most serious disaster caused by this evil god's chaos was the more than a thousand miles of Mansha City's radiation range. Countless small and medium-sized tribes living within this range suffered heavy losses. Even incomplete statistics include more than 4% of them. The tribes were all wiped out by the demonic army summoned by the followers of the evil god.

The reason is very simple. Mansha City is the heart of the wilderness, and there is an unwritten rule among the powerful tribes in the wilderness. That is, no powerful tribe is allowed to exist within a thousand-mile radius centered on Mansha City, so as not to harm Mansha. city ​​poses a threat.

Therefore, although there are many strong men stationed in Mansha City, in the vast territory of more than 100,000 square miles outside Mansha City, there are only a few who can truly deal with the demon army summoned by the evil god's chaos.

Firstly, it is because in this land under the influence of Mansha City, there are no too powerful tribes. The largest tribe has only a few thousand people, and there are not many strong ones. As long as there are a few talented people, They will all enroll in schools in Mansha City, and then become the targets of many powerful tribes in the wilderness.

Secondly, in order to satisfy the daily food and drink needs of the hundreds of thousands of people in Mansha City, the indigenous tribes living on this land have gradually begun to develop in the direction of farming over the past countless years.

Who would want to live a miserable nomadic life when you can earn money and live a good life by growing fruits, vegetables and grain. The biggest impact that farming has on a wilderness tribe is that the tribesmen gradually lose their courage and the ability to fight to the death. When the demon army attacks, the resistance they show is nothing. Not as good as tribes like Allen and the others.

Due to various reasons, when the Evil God Rebellion breaks out in every corner of the wilderness, the first thing each powerful tribe considers is naturally the safety of their own tribe, and then they consider other things. Mansha City is very important, but the small and medium-sized tribes outside Mansha City may not be worthy of everyone's attention. When demon armies appeared around these tribes, Mansha City did not immediately provide rescue, but sat back and watched the demon army wreak havoc. Small and medium-sized tribes around.

Mansha City seems to be very powerful. Even after various tribes have recalled the legendary strongmen who are stationed in Mansha, when it is at its weakest, there are still at least 10 legendary strongmen in Mansha City. However, due to the forces that make up Mansha City Too many, but it puts serious constraints on the city. For example, the current city guard of Mansha City, Holian City Guard from the Nosha Gnoll Tribe, wants to mobilize the city guards to go out of the city to annihilate a thousand-man demon army passing by the city far away, until the opponent swaggers away from Mansha. With no view of the city, his orders were not approved by the council, let alone issued to the commander of the city guard.

As for the legendary powerhouses, they will not take action easily. No one can guarantee whether there is a legendary level demon hiding in the passing demon army, just waiting for them, these wilderness legends, to die.

In this Chaos of the Evil God, the major tribes in the wilderness suffered considerable losses. Except for a few lucky tribes who found the Flesh Altar in the early stages of the Chaos of the Evil God and nipped the danger in the cradle, most of the other tribe members It was only during the middle and late stages of the Evil God Rebellion that, with the help of the temple, the very hidden flesh altar was searched and destroyed.

At the same time, more than 20 wilderness legends were killed by demonic legend level experts who crossed the border during this evil god rebellion. More than 40 legends were injured in this crisis and needed to recover for several years. It takes time to restore health.

Under such circumstances, which legend would act rashly? Unless there is a temple organization, or a request from the clan leader or elders, these legends may take action. Otherwise, they would rather stay in the safer Mansha City, watching the outside world turn into a sea of ​​fire, and fight with them Nothing to do.

After the vast majority of legends advanced, as their life essence improved, their mentality also changed at the same time, as if they and other compatriots were no longer equal individuals, but should be higher-level beings. When looking at those ordinary intelligent individuals, it is like a human being looking down at the tiny ants on the ground. There is a hard barrier between their life and death and themselves.

The longer the legendary and above warriors survive, the more intense this change in mentality becomes. This is an important reason why when Allen bumped into the legendary Jackal Shaka in the maze, Shaka killed Allen and the others without any explanation. reason.

Under such a situation, Mansha City was impregnable, and no demon army dared to disturb it. However, after leaving Mansha City for dozens of miles, the demon army began to destroy and kill without restraint. They have lived in this land for countless years. of wilderness natives.

If it weren't for the fact that the Natural Temple couldn't stand it anymore, and before the demon army completely grew, it forcefully requested the wilderness tribes to provide support, and at the same time transferred the legendary strongmen and temple knights under their respective temples to join them. I'm afraid that the light would be within the scope of Mansha City at this time. The demon army will cause an irreversible situation.

But due to the initial indulgence, even though the demons in other places have gradually disappeared, there are still a large number of scattered demon teams and lone strong men around Mansha City causing trouble and destruction.

Based on this, the adventurers in Mansha City were very happy for a long time. The more this happened, the easier their lives would be.

　The original updates will be resumed starting tomorrow. Except for the 5-word update in one day this week, there have been a lot of updates in the other six days.

　　In addition, I will take the opportunity of Alan to train Tom to popularize some common sense about Feynman's world. I hope everyone will not find it verbose.
