Finally, although I don’t want to admit it, this guy really looks like Mothra.
If the ecology of this demon moth king is consistent with that of ordinary moth species, or is close to the Toho monster, then it can be understood why there is so little sighting information about this demon moth king, and there are only a lot of things that don't sound like much. Reliable rumors.
Moths spend most of their lives in the larval form, and adults have a very short lifespan. In other words, this Moth King may be like Mothra, spending most of his time as an egg or cocoon. Only when certain conditions are triggered will they appear as adults. After finishing the work, hang up, and then use unknown methods to leave descendants.
If we follow this line of thinking, trying to obtain the silk cocoon of this Demon Moth King would be equivalent to cutting off the roots of this Demon Moth King. And the fall of a king-level monster that rules a territory is not necessarily a good thing for the civilized world.
First of all, the commotion caused by a group of animals fighting for the king, and the pursuit or destruction caused along the way after the loser is defeated. The establishment of a new king does not mean that it will guard the old territory, it may expand or contract. No matter which one it is, it will have an impact on the neighboring civilized world.
Regardless of whether the fight is winnable or not, just looking at the subsequent impact, someone has to think carefully about whether to take action. Another level of practical problem is, even if we really capture the Demon Moth King in the silk cocoon state, how to extract the silk?
Whether the silk thread can be used will be left to be considered later. If the adult moth king is so huge, it is conceivable that the cocoon its larvae spin must be of similar size. Just thinking about how to deal with this palace-level silk cocoon is as big as one head or two.
If you don't have a proper plan and act rashly, it's totally unlike someone's style. Apart from anything else, if you really defeat this Warcraft King, the loot will have a shelf life, and after that, it will be gone. But before taking action, there was no preparation and planning in this regard, and when the matter came, we could only scramble. In the end, only a little benefit may be retained, so what is the result of all the hard work ahead?
Therefore, there are still many problems to be solved before we can decide whether to take action against this Demonic Moth King.
On the other hand, king-level monsters actually have intelligence that is not inferior to humans, but their moral values and values are different from humans, and their strength is also quite different, so there is a conflict. But considering that the locals call it the 'Guardian Saint', perhaps there are other simpler ways to solve their needs.
Lin remained silent while he was thinking about it. When he remembered, he looked up and saw two pairs of eyes staring directly at him. Someone smiled, and after confirming that the other person had indeed witnessed the existence of the Moth King, he pointed at the scene he had presented with his whiteboard technique and said, "This is the scene in your memory, right?"
Although mixed with a variety of emotions, including surprise and confusion, the most important thing was expectation. The mature woman nodded.
Lin said with satisfaction: "Since you have indeed witnessed the Demon Moth King, then this information has its value. I can provide you with two rewards, you can choose. For the first one, I will give you x Kil (10 gold ), as reward for this information.”
For ordinary people, 10 gold is already an astronomical reward, and Wana is of course beaming with joy. However, she did not agree directly, but asked again: "Sir, do you know what another kind of reward is?"
"I can provide you with a job, that is, come to my house as a helper. I can provide accommodation and food, and your children can also be brought to live with you. And then there will be an extra salary of II Jiangsu (2 silver) every month."
The Midi gold and silver exchange is not a simple decimal or hundreds system, but 20 silver equals 1 gold. A monthly salary of 2 silver is considered above average for ordinary people.
Although in terms of amount, there is a huge difference between 2 silver and 10 gold, the former is a one-time transaction and has nothing to do with the transaction; the latter is a long-term meal ticket and pays attention to the steady flow of water. It is not so easy for an ordinary person to decide between the two.
Maybe life has not come to an end, but Wana is still moving forward with difficulty. Instead of making a hasty decision, she mustered up the courage to ask: "Sir, if I am willing to take that job, I don't know what I will mainly do." What?"
Lin didn't hide anything and replied: "I came to the Holy City at the beginning of this year and was appreciated by the president of Kabanbai College to become a teacher. I also bought a property near the college as a place to live. It's just that the house is a bit big. There are very few people responsible for housekeeping, only my two apprentices. I have long had the idea of hiring a few more people to help with the housework, but I have never implemented it. And you seem to need a stable job, so I gave it to you. You have a chance to try. Besides, don’t you have a child? I also have a three or five-year-old child there. For children, it is better to grow up with playmates of the same age than to be alone. .”
"My lord, do you have a child?" Vana asked.
He knew what the other party might be worried about. After all, serving a young master was a different level of difficulty than serving a childhood playmate. Lin shook his head and said: "That is an orphan without a father and a mother. He is adopted by me. I don't have children myself, and I don't have much time to take care of him. I want to hire you because you have a child of about the same age. That’s why I want them to be friends.”
"Sir, please give me some time to think about it." Vana did not answer in a hurry. She is not familiar with the world of magicians. Although her life is more difficult now, she doesn't just jump in without knowing anything.
Lin nodded, understanding the other party's approach. In the environment before time travel, when applying for a job, you had to first inquire about the company's reputation, whether it had done anything illegal, and whether it was a dirty sweatshop. Don't get yourself into a trap just for the sake of a little money.
If ordinary people want to make a living in the Holy City, they will inevitably have to deal with magicians. Although the struggle between magicians will try not to affect them. But there are still different levels of masters. The personality of the person they follow is directly related to their own lives, so they can't help but be careless.
But understanding is understanding, and it doesn't mean that someone has to waste too much time here. Lin said: "In that case, I will just wait here for a while and make a decision before I leave. By the way, let me tell you one more thing. If you feel that the environment is not suitable, you can leave at any time and you will be given the same treatment then." You x Geer’s bounty. By the way, I want to eat something. Mary, please give me some broth and bread. And please remove my entrustment, the bounty is cancelled.”
"Is the commission going to be lifted?" the girl named Mary, who was stationed at the guild's reception desk, confirmed.
"Yes. You have also seen that the people who have come to our door recently are not of any new species, or they are just looking for trouble. Or there is news from your side, and there are people who have accepted the bounty mission, but they have to come from other places. Haven’t arrived yet?”
"There is no such news." The girl shook her head and said.
"Then let's lift it. Also, I want the food." Lin said.
"Okay, come right away." Mary picked up Vana and ran into the kitchen behind the counter.
Looking at the two people leaving, it was estimated that Mary would reveal all the information about the money that was being sold in the guild and show it to Vana. Speaking of which, both of them were too naive and not at all alert to the magician's methods.
The reason why someone dared to give such a condition was actually because the moment Vana took hold of Hakakiri, the opponent's background and current situation were almost revealed by the sword. Then Haggiri said it in his own consciousness.
What Mary said before about Vanna was right. The other party is indeed from out of town, and his husband died more than a year ago. Although raising a child alone is a bit difficult, it is far from a situation where you have no choice but to ask for help. In addition to helping with cleaning at the guild, she also did laundry for others to earn some money.
There is no special purpose, and there is no such thing as the mastermind behind the scenes, so it is nothing to provide moderate help. One more sentence, freedom of coming and going, is what it should be. Also because the other person is not facing the end of the road, he will be grateful to him, and make promises to him, etc., but these are just overthinking.
Anyway, the idea of finding someone to help the two girls take care of the housework has been long ago, but I have never been able to find a suitable candidate. If we open this door to the dean and the others, there is no guarantee that some people with strange and strange purposes will come in. At that time, whether we should use a box cutter to check the other party, and what to do if we find out, are all difficult questions.
It happened that they met here and the other party had a clean background, so Lin Ye opened his mouth to recruit him.
While waiting for the other party to think about it and eating Chinese food, there is one thing I want to investigate, which is who the noble boy who scared away the group of soldiers was.
Opening the Shui Jing Shu screen is similar to how ordinary people open a forum, but the core is completely different. What Lin opened was the forum index page used internally. The links were scattered and hidden in various magic towers that established forum servers, including of course the Tower of the Great Sage. Because it is stored in a decentralized manner, there is no possibility of accidental discovery by ordinary users.
Because he didn't know the name of the noble boy, Lin could only search based on his appearance. But no matter what key phrases he used, he couldn't find information that matched the boy he saw.
In this situation, there are basically two possibilities. One is that I did not find the correct keywords, so all the content that came out was irrelevant. But after experiencing various search engine exercises on the earth's network, it can be described as unbelievable that such a thing would happen, so Lin leaned towards the second possibility.
That young man is something that everyone keeps secret. He doesn't dare to mention it, doesn't want to mention it, and doesn't want to mention it. Therefore, he has never left a record on the forum, so naturally he cannot be found. After all, Midi's forum is only seven or eight years old, and its previous users were concentrated in the southwest peninsula. The Holy City has entered the stage of large-scale use in the past year or two. Strictly speaking, the accumulation of data is not too much.
What is more unusual is that some organizations that specialize in information circulation, such as the Thieves Guild, have no description of the boy in their internal information.
It seems that we can only find an opportunity to ask the president of Kabamba Academy to see if this local snake has any relevant clues.
Putting aside the matter of the noble boy, Lin Zai retrieved all the rumors about the Moth King on the forum and examined them one by one. There is a lot of content, most of which are absurd and unbelievable, but a few of them still have certain reference value.
