"So, as a gold-level adventurer, I wonder if you are interested in taking on this mission?" Fortus said with a smile.
Grace curled her lips and said, "What? You just calculated that my father would definitely follow me, so that's why you did this, right?"
"Oops, I accidentally got seen through." Although what he said should be unspeakable, the man in front of him still admitted it shamelessly.
"Don't worry, for such a long journey, my father can only protect the first part of the route. After all, he still has work to do. It doesn't matter if he disappears occasionally. Going to the sea specifically to find materials is definitely not a problem. It’s impossible, let alone you going to the country of fairies.” Grace said, holding her hands.
Fortus rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "It sounds like that is indeed the case. It seems that this time the hope has been disappointed again."
"Failed hope is——"
"I am a blacksmith who keeps traveling around the world in order to forge legendary weapons. Even the forging of legendary weapons is just to make others owe me a favor, and then ask them to help me when necessary." Faltos did not hide anything, and admitted his thoughts openly, "Of course, your father is an exception. His legendary weapon belongs to me as a favor to him."
Normally, it shouldn't be about gathering seven favors and then summoning the dragon.
"That's a pity." Grace chuckled, "But even if my father is free, I don't have time to go to sea."
"Oh? There is quite a lot of remuneration to be earned." Fortos rubbed his chin with interest and said, "Logically speaking, as long as the price is right and it doesn't violate your own rules, most tasks can be done. Take it."
"Something has happened recently!" Grace waved her hand and said carelessly, "Speaking of which, the purpose of recruiting Uncle Fortos this time is to ask you to build a new pair of armor and weapons. The previous equipment It’s all damaged and can no longer be used.”
"In this case, I will fight for the children of acquaintances even if they are the children of acquaintances." Fortos's face became a little more serious. "After all, business is business, and favors are favors."
"Of course I know that." Grace smiled and raised three fingers, "Three hundred thousand gold coins, within this range."
"Can't you just say you want medium-quality armor?"
"No, in that case the price will already fluctuate between 200,000 and 1 million. If you decide to add any strange raw materials to make the cost higher, I won't be able to buy it, so it's better to say it at the beginning. An affordable price, so that you won't be biased when choosing materials!" Grace's cheeks bulged slightly, looking a little annoyed.
"Forging is an art, and art has unexpected costs!" Foltos seemed to want to argue, "Last time, last time it could only be an accident!"
Grace looked at him with her hands folded, as if she didn't believe it at all.
How should I put it... As expected, Grace and he were overly familiar.
"Okay, okay, I understand. In short, the conditions are the same as last time, right?" Fortus finally sighed and said, "I understand, come and pick it up from me in a month."
A winner's smile instantly appeared on Grace's face.
"Then it's a deal!"
Faltos looked at us at this time, with a rather warm smile on his face and said: "Oh! You are Grace's friends! It's really rare - so have you considered ordering armor here? What? After all, the armor you are wearing seems to be quite crude, I can give you a 15% discount, even the lowest armor is enchanted, even comparable to the magic armor in the special army!"
"In that case, the lowest price range is——"
"The starting price is 100,000, and everything else is easily negotiable."
"Hiss—" Nolan Lusi next to me took a breath of cold air, then suddenly covered my mouth from behind and said, "Sorry to bother you, we don't want to."
"Uuuuuuu——!"
I just want to ask later, don't tighten it so tightly, it will kill you! ! !
Foltos had a look of disappointment on his face.
"In this case, I won't bother you anymore." Grace looked out the door. It seemed that someone had realized something, so she had already arrived at Fortos' residence. "There must be someone to see next."
"Yes, you are outside the appointment." Foltos smiled and said, "But I happened to sneak in when you came, so let's treat it as an agreement in advance."
Nolan Lusi was finally willing to let me go.
Breathing in the fresh air, I looked at Nolan Lusi with some resentment. Her face turned slightly red, then she coughed, raised her face and said, "Anyway, in short, it's really my fault. ! But isn’t it normal for horses to make mistakes and people to make mistakes!”
I sighed: "Next time, just remember not to use such strange strength in a panic state..."
The Demon King's physique is different from that of ordinary humans. Although he has a rather slender female figure, his strength actually exceeds that of ordinary exercised humans, and he is still at the fourth or fifth level even without exercise.
Not to mention that Nolan Lusi has definitely reached the ninth level.
After walking out of Foltos' house, there was a stern-faced man in green robe waiting outside the door, followed by a dozen bodyguards in black, who looked very grand.
When he saw us coming out, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but his expression quickly calmed down, and he stepped into the house.
"This guy is a bit strong, but he doesn't know how to hold back at all." I commented, rubbing my chin.
"He is already very powerful among the younger generation!" After taking a look, Grace lowered her head and said slyly, "Despite his usual cold appearance, this guy's face is actually paralyzed because he is quite afraid of strangers. ! The reason you see such a scary look in his eyes is because he is extremely nervous inside, and the more he glares at people, it proves that he is extremely nervous!"
Is there anything else like this?·····
"You seem to be very familiar with him?" More than this, I am more curious about how Grace knew something that seemed to be a secret no matter what direction you looked at.
"This man is the son of the owner of the largest trading house in Wales." Grace said lightly, "I have occasionally contacted him before, so I think I know a little bit about him."
A little bit of understanding can reach this level, are you an information dealer or a psychology expert...
"Forget it - you have been running around these days, you should have found a suitable mission, right?"
Speaking of this place, Grace finally became a little more serious.
"There are some results, but it's still the order from the Inspectorate."
"It seems like they are quite busy these days." I couldn't help but sigh with my forehead.
Just how deep are Falcon's roots in Wells? It's surprising that we're still investigating after such a long time.
Grace burst out laughing: "To put it simply, we are taking advantage of this time to fight corruption. After all, all the people in the Supervision Bureau are soldiers, and they have long been abhorred for civil servant corruption. It is rare to catch a young man. Tails, why can’t you just pick up a bunch of grasshoppers by picking up a melon?”
Hmm... This metaphor is quite vivid.
"What exactly is the mission about?"
Grace's face turned a little serious: "Now we can't be as reckless as last time, because if we don't pay attention, there may really be a big problem."
"Don't create this kind of flag that something will definitely happen, okay—"
"The magic power has changed." Grace raised her hand and said, "The things placed in the empire should have been done by nearby cities, but because they fell in the Sanguan area, things became troublesome. In short, the inspection department did not want to Taking on this kind of job, the Inspector has no choice but to take on this responsibility. After all, if you insist on saying so, this is still their job, but regardless of the boundaries... it is difficult for the Inspector to intervene. "
Is it difficult for the Inspector General to intervene?
"Wait a minute - aren't all the inspectors a bunch of ruthless people? Why are there still people who don't care about the boundaries?" I suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.
"Because of the existence of Warcraft." Grace's face became slightly stiff, "You must have heard of Phoenix's brave story before, right? Although he has disappeared now and was probably buried somewhere, but no matter There is no doubt that what he deserves praise for is defeating legendary monsters."
The sudden mention of Phoenix's name surprised me a little, but I already had a rough idea of what the three-nothing realm was.
"Simply put, because there are powerful monsters, no one wants to take over the management, right?"
"That's right, it's not just as simple as unwillingness to manage." Grace curled her lips and said, "That place is actually a paradise for fugitives. Because of the existence of Warcraft, it is absolutely impossible for the empire officials to send a large number of troops there—— As long as someone passes by, they will directly awaken the monsters and help them do harm, or at worst they will die together."
"Is this, like this?"
What a gangster's style of play. If you can't beat him, just run away. If you can't run, just call out for your thighs——
I like!
"If that's the case, why aren't there any legendary masters from the empire who can deal with the monsters? Or maybe there are some brave men who can kill them."
"Because there is no benefit except fame." Grace spread her hands, with a mocking look on her face, "These days, brave men also have to pay attention to economic benefits. There are no resources at that position, so no one will offer sky-high prices. The bounty, just relying on the little reward offered by the Inspector, is not enough to cover the medical expenses and the potion scrolls consumed in a fight. There is no such thing as Tie Hanhan who goes to kill powerful monsters just because he heard about the evil reputation. "
"Yes, really?" I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.
How should I put it... I suddenly realized that I seemed to have done that in the past, so although I had received many good person cards, I couldn't save any money at all.
Tsk.
"But even though he didn't care, there were actually intelligence officers in that place. The magic change was the news he sent back before. But what's a little strange is that there was no movement after he sent back the news, so we are here The one-time mission is very simple - investigate the cause of the abnormal movement, find the informant by the way, and even if he is dead, he must find the body and confirm it, and only then can he pay pensions to his family."
I couldn't help but sigh and said: "So, why is the goal set on the premise that he is dead..."
"If there is no movement in a place like that, it's like being ripped off." Grace made a gesture of wiping her neck. "It's very common to kill people and buy goods in places like that."
I'm more curious about why you know so much.
Nolan Lusi interrupted a little after listening for a long time: "In other words, it's not surprising anything happens over there!"
"Absolutely not! It is said that there was a necromancer who stayed in that place before, but later I heard that after staying for a while, he felt that the inspector was nothing more than that, so he walked out, only to find himself less than half a mile outside the boundary. They were pinned to the ground by more than 20 big men. It is said that they took turns squatting there for more than 20 years before they pulled him out..." Grace didn't know why she went off topic. But I think she gave this example to show that that place is indeed a bit unrestrained, right?
Wait a minute, why do I feel that Nolan Lusi’s question is wrong?
When I figured out what she was going to do, I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wait, wait a minute!! Don't think that you can unleash the power of Dark Curtain casually in this realm without caring about it. Let me tell you, if you really dare to use the power of Dark Curtain there, it won't take half an hour. The legendary level magic was blasted away, and by the way, I could see a legendary tearing space all over the sky coming out of it to watch... Not to mention that the backer was a legendary monster, even a god would be scared to death." I He quickly grabbed the excited Nolan Lusi.
"...Hey, have you been discovered?" Nolan Lusi shook her head in displeasure and said.
Kellas next to us glanced at us, and after seeming to confirm that none of us had any intention of talking, she happily said, "Ask a question! Hey, is there anything delicious over there?"
"If I have to say it over there, I think I eat more Warcraft meat." Although Kyle Rusty's question was not very reliable, Grace still tried her best to answer it.
But looking at Kyle Russ, I remembered a very important question.
I secretly pulled Kyle Russ aside and said, "Kyle Russ, can you smell the smell of the undead?"
"That's right!" Kellas nodded.
"Let's see, if the informant's body is really dumped, can you help find him?"
