"Money is the root of all evil. Damn it, God of Wealth, please make me more evil."
Coincidentally, when George was lamenting his shriveled gold bag, the caravan in the city happened to arrive at the Mercenary Guild Station.
George, who was bored in the caravan, glanced into the mercenary guild out of curiosity, and what came into George's field of vision was the mercenary mission board. From the highest S-level to the lowest C-level, everything is available, and the content of the tasks is also diverse——
Due to the unique national conditions of the Negras Empire, many wealthy businessmen, powerful alchemists, and even city law enforcers or people in power are not always willing to endure the darkness under the canopy of the undead and run to the city. They are escorting transportation, collecting materials, hunting criminals, and protecting mines in the wilderness outside. At this time, mercenary teams from various forces will enter this market to earn short-term and quick commissions——
"Hunting wanderers outside the city, level C, five copper coins for every ten heads, any type."
"Gathering blue mushrooms, level B, requires a basic knowledge of medicine and collection experience, or a mercenary team of level C or above is preferred. Each kilogram of blue mushrooms will be purchased with ten copper coins."
"Putting down the Haunted Gold Mine, level A. If you have not reached level B or above as a mercenary team, you are not allowed to participate in this mission! After the mission is completed, the commission will be calculated based on the number of heads of the mercenary team. Each person will receive ten silver coins. Those who died in battle will not be exempted. be compensated.”
"Emergency mission! The village of Luotata was massacred. The suspect is a stray vampire. Investigate and arrest the suspect. He is S-level. If you have not reached the A-level or above mercenary team level, you are not allowed to participate in this mission! Mission completed Afterwards, the commission will be calculated based on the number of mercenary team members, one gold coin per person, and the pension for the war dead will be two gold coins per person.”
…
As soon as the designated time for dropping off passengers arrives, the caravan starts up again and heads to the next stop. George, who had just finished reading the task board, seemed to hear his own heartache at the same time.
Because, among the tasks he just saw, even the most difficult S-level tasks, the commission that can be earned is only one gold coin per person, let alone C-level copper coins.
You know, in this continent of Exos, due to the fluctuation of prices and the issuance and production technology of gold coins in different regions, one gold coin is generally equivalent to about thirty to thirty-five silver coins, and silver coins and copper coins are also in a similar ratio. exchange. And George just spent nearly a hundred gold coins in Merlin's alchemy shop.
If it were in the George Manor where Dolphin Jumps, when he was making money every day as the "Magic George" in the upper class circle, he would not take this money seriously at all, but when he realized that he had not "opened up the money" for a long time , he could only work hard to "save expenditure", and after making sufficient comparisons in terms of prices, he discovered how precious the gold coins in his pocket were.
"Forget it, a hundred gold coins is just a small thing after all. There are more than 10,000 gold coins in the gold bag anyway. Save some money and go back to Alannorn as soon as possible! But if I see that black merchant again next time Merlin, I must punch him in the face!"
As the caravan sped through the city, George's thoughts once again drifted to the scenery outside the window.
