The smile on the high-level elf wizard's face was like a frozen lake in winter. He wasn't kidding, he was genuinely happy about the consequences of his actions.
The slender and sharp sword was so cold that Griffith was shrouded in real murderous intent, and his mind almost went blank. In the face of terrible and real danger, he had only one thought left and immediately put it into action.
He wasn't kidding, he couldn't care less about the embarrassment at this time.
"Garadia, help!"
Griffith yelled.
This cry for help is so shameful. Griffith felt that something very important in him was shattered to pieces in this cry for help, and Sidious's face was filled with contempt and contempt for a moment.
"Sidious, if you dare to move again, I will strangle you to death."
A clear and smart voice sounded from beside him, saving the scared and ashamed Griffith from his fear.
Galadia didn't know when she woke up, staring fiercely at her brother who was holding a sharp blade.
Sidious restrained his breath with a bored look on his face, and threw Griffith out, who was panting rapidly. He looked at the little bastard who might have kidnapped his sister, then looked at the magic weapon in his hand, and walked away without saying a word.
"What did he say to you?" The elf girl came to Griffith and sat on the grass with him.
Griffith opened his mouth, not knowing where to start...
"Don't look at him like this, he is actually quite grateful to you!" Galadia said seriously, "Let him go to the military camp to say hello and intimidate the bad guys."
"Really?"
"Of course, if it weren't for you this time, his lovely sister would have been in trouble."
…
"That's what happened."
Griffith completed a long and devoid of substantive report, hiding Galadia's trial and many details about the Sealed Artifact's Black Domain, focusing on the high-level wizard Sidious's moment of the Sealed Artifact's end. After helping him, he sent the simple report in front of General Valens.
Wearing the gleaming fine mail armor produced by Canaan, he stood in the dangerous whirlpool of conspiracy, and his mood was particularly calm.
Sidious stood aside, looking at the room of humans indifferently.
There were seven or eight officers and nobles in the small tent, with piles of case files and maps piled up. The general quietly read the report submitted by the trainee knight, while the staff and officers around him stared at his nose and the toes of his shoes in silence.
What are they thinking? Griffith thought calmly. Are you wondering why this second-level team leader didn’t die? How should he explain to the big shots who sent him here? Should I be given merit points and other rewards according to the system now, or should I call a group of halberdiers to kill me?
Hum hum, you have missed the best opportunity to kill me. Now that I have Sidious's protection, as long as I return to Sonia, Larmore House will immediately investigate the entire incident.
Galadia and Sonia will protect me. It is no longer possible to send me on a death mission in the short term.
As long as you get through this stage, General Valens, whether you know the conspiracy behind it or not, I will come to you. I'll write it down in my notebook later.
The general was quiet for a minute, then looked up with a smile.
"You're doing well, young man, very well,
"This is a very dangerous mission, but the rewards are great, and you should be rewarded.
"Now, go to the Quartermaster to receive your mission reward."
…
After successively annihilating the mountain monster, the Vampire Baron, the Quarksol aberration, and the eyeball monster that appeared in Hepu, Griffith has officially registered four Sequence 7 powerful extraordinary creatures. Naturally, the results of the battle between the demon hunter captain Karius and the corpse witch-turned-Connix cannot be said and cannot be included in the results.
Galadia verified the fifth victory result by giving him the remaining extraordinary properties of the earth dragon, and the ownership still belongs to Griffith.
The quartermaster checked the extraordinary characteristics on the spot, registered the kill record, sealed the letter with fire paint, and gave it to the messenger to send to Varna.
"You will be awarded the Silver Eagle Medal and become a second-level squad leader. I reported your situation in accordance with the system.
"In addition to the sparkling medal, the accompanying rewards include 5 points of merit and a lifetime allowance of 50 silver francs per month, which can be obtained from the day of issuance until the day you rest.
"The medal itself is an enchanted item with certain protective capabilities. It can generate and maintain a 30-second defensive shield against a powerful physical and magical attack. It needs to be fused with your psychic ripples before using it for the first time. In this way, the protection The shield will not be easily disturbed by your own blood. This thing is particularly effective in defense against black magic."
Really good, Griffith looked at the quartermaster eagerly.
I have an extra 50 yen in income every month! Now I have a monthly salary of 100 silver francs, a Sequence 8 Beyonder allowance of 50 silver francs, and a lifetime allowance of 50 silver lang!
"Don't get excited. It's not easy to make this thing, and we don't have it ready-made on hand." The quartermaster immediately interrupted his thoughts, "It still needs to be reported, approved, and processed. It will be issued by the relevant departments under the jurisdiction. In one sentence , you can’t get it from us.”
After confirming this, the two came to discuss the previous credit issue.
Sidious had no intention of waiting for him to finish one thing after another. After chatting with the general for a few words, he took his sister and left.
With his intervention, the entire camp will realize that Griffith is not to be trifled with.
Griffith used the mission reward to compensate for 15 units of potential potion and 1 unit of refined psychic mixture, regaining the mortgaged extraordinary characteristics.
However, he suddenly discovered that he had made a serious omission. He did not have enough money to purchase another 5 units of potential potions.
Before the Neopolis mission, Griffith only had 556 silver francs, and the bonus for the island mission was only 100 silver francs. Counting the 150 monthly salary allowance and the 200 bonus for suppressing veterans, after deducting some expenses and later He only had 934 silver francs left to buy textbooks for the new semester.
After handing the poison sac to Sonia, the girl gave him some potion ingredients and 1,100 silver francs, but the rest of the money had not yet been carefully accounted for with him.
The quartermaster quickly calculated: "Five units of potential potion cost 2,600 silver francs, and there is also a 100 silver franc handling fee."
Hiss, it’s more expensive than Earl’s Palace! In this way, the gap on Griffith's hand is 666 silver francs.
"Isn't it 500 silver francs per unit?"
"If you can buy a unit of goods for 500 silver francs, why don't you buy it yourself earlier?"
Griffith almost lost his breath. Dare the Earl's Mansion sell it to him by force? It's still a conscience!
"What's going on with the handling fee?"
"The stamp duty and transaction tax, as well as the operating and management fees of our brigade, are only 3.85%. It's cheap!"
"Can it be less? I think it's unreasonable!" Griffith had already begun to touch the hilt of his sword.
"Okay, that's 50 silver francs for the handling fee and 2,650 silver francs for the potion. What do you think?" The quartermaster pinched his rat-tailed mustache and looked at him with a smile, "If you think this is unreasonable, you can kill him here. I'll see if my good brothers agree to my monthly salary of 50 silver francs."
Of course Griffith couldn't fall out and kill the quartermaster just for this little money, so he had to pay honestly.
"How much does it cost to get the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 9?"
"500 each, no two prices, sell if you like," the quartermaster looked at him hehehe, "If you can't slam the door this time, just leave. My good brothers with a monthly salary of 50 silver won't agree."
ah--! I was fooled. The market prices of Sequence 9 characteristics and potential potions are basically the same. Why didn’t I buy more at Earl’s Mansion? Why didn’t I clear up the money with Sonia? Why didn't I ask Sidious to borrow some money?
Griffith regretted it. He lost 200 silver francs every time he entered and exited.
"Brother," the quartermaster poured Griffith a cup of tea from a dirty cup, "you have to take a long-term view, and don't just care about the small money in front of you."
"In the long run, what else can I do?" Griffith reluctantly made the delivery, paying 1,700 silver francs in cash, and then handed over two pieces of Sequence 9 Extraordinary Properties.
"Tsk, you stupid idiot," the quartermaster laughed and drank the tea he poured for Griffith in one gulp. "You can tell this story to the noble ladies when you go back. For 200 silver francs, My greed and stupidity will make others laugh, this deal is worth it!"
Griffith, who was about to be pissed to death, packed up his things and walked out the door. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and turned to the quartermaster who had earned an additional 3 Sequence 9 feature bonuses and 200 silver coins and asked: "Your Excellency What do you call it?"
I'll write down your name when I get back. When I get stronger and come to find Valens in the future, don't even think about running away.
The quartermaster was turning the money over and over, and replied cheerfully:
"My name has long been forgotten, everyone calls me——
"Gold mine."
…
After completing the handover of mission rewards, Griffith returned to the general's camp, bid farewell to them and prepared to join Sonia. He hoped to borrow a military horse so that he could travel as quickly as possible.
Not waiting for him to make a request. A messenger ran in and presented a letter sealed with paint.
"Report, urgent!"
what happened? New order? Anyone else want to harm me?
Griffith fencing with feathers in hand. If someone in the military camp is against him now, he will take action immediately and then take advantage of the chaos to escape. Sidious and the others had just left, and if there was a conflict, there would be someone who could testify so that they would not be framed for rebellion. If it was a new death mission, he would kill the escorting soldiers on the way, and then seek refuge with Galadia's brother.
Although Sidious was as scary as the devil, after calling out to his sister for help and losing something, he completely let go. When his life was really at stake, Griffith's first thought was to find him.
"Apprentice knight," General Valens suddenly interrupted Griffith's reverie, "pack your equipment immediately and go to the military quarters to get two horses for loan."
"Yes, sir." Griffith was a little confused, but he still pressed his heels together and responded loudly.
"You may want to know what happened," General Valens handed over the letter in his hand. "Go and read it carefully yourself. This is a war report. You must also return to work quickly according to the deployment of your superiors."
Griffith took two steps forward and took the letter from the commander. Before he could check the contents. General Valens stood up from his seat and shouted to the officers in the camp:
“Assemble the team and prepare for emergency battle.
"I issued the order in my name, and the friendly forces quickly moved closer to our headquarters."
