Attack strength...13! Range can reach a terrifying three thousand meters!

No wonder the Kingdom of Tresia was able to defeat the Kingdom of Valais, which boasted the most superhumans, by using white gunpowder and rhenium steel weapons.

Even if this gun has no other capabilities or advantages.

But it's just that it's violent and its power is terrifying!

To put it bluntly, if that gun had hit Li Xia on the head, it would probably have blown his skull to pieces.

Because the caliber of this white powder rifle bullet, by modern standards, exceeds a terrifying 20 millimeters...

Moreover, this white gunpowder was clearly unconventional, and its terrifying lethality was astonishing.

If this gun were in the modern world, an ordinary person would probably be shattered by the recoil if they fired it.

No wonder the elite city defense force of Montel I saw before only had about a dozen men equipped with this kind of gun.

"Meow?"

Black Charcoal stared at the pale purple rifle and asked in astonishment.

Li Xia put the gun away, smiled, and shook his head:

"It's not that every rifle is purple-grade; this gun must have come from that unlucky viscount."

This is a specially made, high-quality item from the gun workshop. A regular rifle would typically have "standard rifle" in its name, but this one has a prefix.

Looking at the room that had already been searched, the two little ones were still pretty good at licking the floor, but with Xiaotian around, they became even more meticulous.

Li Xia even felt a little nostalgic for Moriyama, the little brother he took in from the Naruto world.

He even dared to take out his loincloth!

Finally, I counted them: a total of 16 gold coins, 26 silver coins, and about two hundred copper coins.

The three little ones didn't even spare the gold and silver artifacts still stained with blood, considering that these artifacts might be recognized by others.

The kitten simply used 'lightning metallurgy' to melt them into gold balls. The value of the gold balls was reduced, but the purpose was not to make money.

"Boss, should we go and collect their heads for the reward?"

Aowu pondered the corpses for a while before asking a question.

Killing a viscount would certainly warrant a bounty, and judging from the Marquis of Montreux's furious expression, the bounty might not be small.

"No need, it's not worth it. It's more important to complete the main quest first. This time, it will be difficult to get the support of the local characters."

Li Xia flicked the few thin sheets of paper the puppy had found, and a vague idea began to emerge in her mind.

"Let's go to Montreal first!"

........

"The tombs of the ancient kings are so magical and magnificent that the year they were built is unknown, but they have always appeared in the stories that have been passed down throughout the continent."

Legend has it that the ancient king led his invincible army to defeat the demons who slaughtered humanity.

In the end, he died of exhaustion after killing the Demon King, leaving behind countless people and loyal subordinates who were deeply grieving.

They vowed to bury this great former king in the most magnificent and secure tomb.

........

The tomb was finally completed. His loyal guards voluntarily gave up their lives to forever protect their king, and the sorcerers lowered their unruly heads.

They joined forces to cast an unparalleled spell on the tomb, and the craftsmen used their treasured techniques to add every anti-theft measure they could think of.

But even such a monarch did not leave his name behind.

Therefore, I could only stand before the tomb's entrance and sigh silently.

Li Xia closed the book "Fengwu Zhi" and stroked the slightly rough cover.

This is also the only mission location mentioned in the book.

The carriage wheels rolled over the dirt road, and the carriage swayed slightly, making a creaking sound.

The wind in the wilderness blew through the grass and then rushed in through the carriage window, stirring the coarse cloth curtains.

Li Xia turned his head to look at the scenery outside. In the setting sun, the dark shadow of a city in the distance was gradually approaching.

The driver's rough voice rang out along with the creaking of the wheels:

"Young man, the city of Montreal is just ahead. You're really lucky; you didn't encounter those bandits while crossing the foothills."

Li Xia put the book away and replied somewhat insincerely:

"You're really lucky..."

The three little ones all leaned their heads against the window, quietly watching the scenery.

After giving the coachman three copper coins, Li Xia looked at the high city walls and the guards checking people entering the city.

He simply leaped up, blocking the blind spot, and in a flash, he cleared the city wall, which was more than ten meters high.

It landed lightly in a deserted area, where Observation Haki proved exceptionally useful.

After passing through the clutter and what looked like city defense bricks and stones, and going around the obstructing walls, the view suddenly opened up before us.

The buildings were arranged in a staggered and distinctive style, giving him the feeling of a town from 'Dragon Quest'.

"Boss, what's next? Should we go find the library or..."

Li Xia glanced at the setting sun, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Go find a library, sneak in, mainly books on history, geography, and local customs, preferably with maps."

I used a smart device to record my trip to another place.

He flipped his hand and took out several sheets of paper from his spatial storage; they were the documents he had found in the bandits' lair.

He flicked one of the cards: "Use this card to post a quest at the Adventurers' Guild."

The conversation with the coachman wasn't entirely fruitless; for example, he learned that being an adventurer was a popular profession in this world.

Furthermore, there are adventurer guilds under the empire's control, and they will do anything for any request.

"I think we can issue a commission and hire people to escort us to... the tomb of an ancient king."

"Wonderful!"

I drove for seven hours and couldn't take it anymore, so I went to sleep.

My head feels like it's going to explode.

Chapter Six: Title Adventure Team

As for why the Imperial Palace and the University were not chosen, even a normal person would know that these two places must be heavily guarded.

In addition, there are rhenium steel rifles, rhenium steel cannons, rhenium steel tanks, and other equipment.

In this world, directly confronting the local forces is practically suicide.

"By the way, remember to look for relevant information about the university. Try to find it at the Imperial Palace, but I don't think the chances are high."

Without knowing the locations of the three areas, everything is just speculation.

Maps are still a rare commodity in this day and age; in the past, they were considered strategic resources.

Watching the three little ones disappear into the increasingly dark night, Li Xia made some decorations to match the appearance on the ID card.

The reason for choosing this particular ID is that it's not difficult to disguise, since there's no photo on it.

Instead, it uses terms similar to feature descriptions.

Even though it was dark, the whole city of Montreal was still bustling, with lanterns lit up in the shops along the street.

The dim orange light illuminated the signboard, and the shadows of light shining through the windows were reflected in the open space in front of the steps.

Li Xia walked slowly along the street, her eyes scanning the signs of the various shops.

Sometimes, the blackboard in front of a store will display discounted items, which is the best way to understand the purchasing power of your money.

One copper coin could buy two loaves of bread, and a drink cost only two copper coins.

From this perspective... gold coins had considerable purchasing power, roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of the 19th-century British pound.

"Boss, I've found the map. I'll send it to you now. The location chosen for the Hall of Light is quite strategic. The former king's tomb isn't too far away."

"Awoo said in the team channel and quickly posted a map that wasn't very accurate, but at least gave a glimpse of the whole picture."

"The city of Montel prospered because of the ruins of the former king's tombs. It is known as the city of adventurers, and many adventurers resupply here before setting off."

The current Marquis of Montreux's ancestors participated in the war that destroyed Valais, and were honored with their merits here.

Li Xia glanced at it and realized that the distance was indeed very short. If he traveled quickly, he could get there in half a day.

This distance only strengthened their resolve to hire adventurers.

While charging forward and attacking quickly is fast, it can cause you to overlook many things.

Just like Li Xia, who, upon landing, confidently went to the other two locations, preparing for a fierce attack.

They might get turned into mincemeat by rhenium guns and rhenium cannons.

There must be a reason why five days are given.

"Well done, keep looking for others."

Li Xia offered a word of encouragement in the team chat, then looked up to see a magnificent hall. The Adventurers' Guild had arrived.

Even though the streetlights were already on outside, the Adventurers' Guild remained brightly lit.

Adventurers dressed in very smart clothes and carrying weapons frequently came and went at the gate.

The commission can be made at any time of day.

With a sense of novelty, Li Xia had just stepped inside when he was immediately greeted by a huge screen that resembled a stock exchange.

It's called a screen, but it's actually more like an alchemical device, simply projecting uncomplicated content—text—using only the three primary colors.

The text disappears every now and then, and then new text appears.

"Clear the wild boars in Koria Village, reward 5 silver coins (you can keep the boars)."

"Escort the Money-Grubbing Caravan to Mali City, reward 1 gold coin (Level 3 credit verification required)"

"Security at the reception; applicants must bring their own uniforms; reward: 10 silver coins."

.........

However, several red commissions remained at the very top.

[Conquer the ancient kings' tombs; rewards provided by the Tresia Empire]

Solve the puzzle left behind by the Three Sages; the reward will be provided by Ace University.

"Slaying bandits in the Jungle Mountains and verifying their identities will earn you 100 gold coins. This reward is provided by the Marquis of Montreal."

100 gold coins? Looks like the heads of those bandits are worth quite a bit.

Li Xia stared thoughtfully at the unusual trading screen, then turned and headed to the information desk.

After several inquiries, he sat down in a small cubicle. The young man in front of him was clearly exhausted, but he still mustered his energy to ask:

"What kind of request is this?"

"Escorting a travel writer to the tomb of an ancient king"

"Oh? That's good. May I ask if the escort will end once we reach our destination, or are there other arrangements?"

"It would be best to go inside and take a look around, and collect some writing material."

The recorder paused, glanced at Li Xia curiously, and said with a smile:

"I'll definitely buy this book and take a look when it's published."

He lowered his head again and scribbled notes:

"However, such a commission may be a bit expensive, and the team hired must be quite strong."

What is your budget?
