Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Yulia's idea was simpler.

She soaked in the hot spring last night.

Looking back on the days before I met Li Wei, after being thrown into Rolling Stones by the Secret World.

He sighed:

"What a miserable life I used to live!"

Yulia was extremely annoyed by "numbers" because she could live a good life with Li Wei.

Li Wei was willing to help her share the burden.

As the squad leader, Yulia was happy to grant Li Wei's request.

Seeing that the three were determined not to touch the money, Li Wei had no choice but to accept the task.

In Rolling Stone, having stable and reliable teammates can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The team has 11 gold and 39 silver coins remaining.

He allocated 2 gold coins each to Duron, Bones, and Julia to pay their due rent.

He also took 2 gold coins to pay the rent that was due.

The team has 3 gold and 39 silver coins remaining.

The Rolling Stones have high rents, partly because it's the safest town in the Monster Hills region.

Secondly, the rent paid was divided among various forces.

First, there's the vanguard stationed deep in the Monster Hills, maintaining the safety of Rolling Stone Town. Five level 3 gargoyle squads took 20% of all the rent in Rolling Stone Town; this was the "protection fee" Rolling Stone Town left behind.

Secondly, there are two level 2 troll adventurer squads stationed in the Rolling Stone District, with Eldar's Blood Rose Adventurer Squad prominently featured.

Elda and her group took half a percent as "protection money" to protect the Rolling Stone District from harassment by the other three districts, and the level 2 troll adventurer teams stationed in the other three districts did the same.

Then there are the various professional associations and guild branches in the Rolling Stone District, led by the Adventurers' Guild. They take half of the rent in Rolling Stone Town, mainly to keep powerful "guild leaders" like Frey and to enrich the career options in Rolling Stone Town.

The remaining amount is periodically handed over to the owners of the Stone House—the nobles, ministers, and royalty of the Duchy of Sand, the Duchy of Storms, and the Golden Kingdom.

Rolling Stones was a ghost town they built, which gradually developed into the size it is today.

Although the Three Kingdoms could not govern Rolling Stone Town, they had a nominal ownership of the houses there. Taking a portion of the rent was a result of a compromise between Rolling Stone Town and the Three Kingdoms. So many criminals from the Three Kingdoms gathered there, so there had to be a reasonable concession.

Levi proposed the idea of ​​an adventure to Dracula Castle.

explained:

“I attended a gathering organized by the president of the Mage Association last night. She said that something was wrong with the Navia Mountains lately and advised me to avoid going there. Baron Dela’s castle is a more suitable place for us near Rolling Stone Town.”

Bones and Duron were taken aback.

Dulong blinked at Li Wei and muttered, "You've already hooked up with the president of the Mage Association so quickly?"

Li Wei's face darkened, and he said, "Bones, attack him."

Bones replied, "Duron is wearing barbarian bracers instead of grenades."

Dulong blushed, overwhelmed with shame, and said, "You...you swore to 'Kuso' you wouldn't tell anyone about this!"

Bones are the Bilal Orcs, and Kuso is the spiritual homeland of the Bilal Orcs.

Bones tricked Duro by saying that swearing an oath to "Kusor" was the most solemn oath of the Bilal orcs.

...Orcs have absolutely no credibility.

This humorous dwarf joke filled the four of them with a cheerful atmosphere.

Even Yulia, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't keep up the act and chuckled softly.

Li Wei's proposal was unanimously approved by all three.

He shouted, "Samantha, find me the adventurer's quest from Baron Della's castle!"

Samantha, behind the bar, rolled her eyes at Levi.

He wiggled his hips as he carried over a stack of task lists and slammed them onto Li Wei's desk with a "bang".

She nestled honestly into Li Wei's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered sweetly:

"You heartless bastard, you left before telling me."

"Who else but me could love you like this?"

"Well, we don't have many other missions, but we have a lot of missions related to the undead."

The Duchy of Sand, the Duchy of Storms, and the Golden Kingdom all practice a "cemetery" system.

The dead were buried together, and the resulting necromantic treasures were all taken by nobles, ministers, and royalty.

Necromancers aren't the only ones who can use necromancers.

It is also an essential item for alchemy, forging, medicine making, tailoring, and more.

"Necromantic treasures" were scarce among the common people of the Three Kingdoms. Even the "Necromantic Flower," which was most common in Baron Dela's castle, could sell for a high price of 1 silver coin in the Three Kingdoms.

Bones and Duron were discussing adventurer quests.

They became more and more excited as they looked at it.

"1 gold coins".

"5 gold coins".

"10 gold coins".

……

"Li Wei, we've got so many jobs along the way, we'll be rich if we take them all!"

Yulia dropped all pretense.

A love of money dominated her personality.

She was completely absorbed in her to-do list.

Dulong exclaimed excitedly:

"Captain Li Wei, quickly shout out that phrase!"

"What?"

Li Wei asked in confusion.

Bones and Duron exchanged a glance, and in unison, understanding each other perfectly, said:

"Yulia Squad, move out!"

Yulia, the money-grubbing girl who was buried in her task list, raised her head in dissatisfaction.

He muttered:

"I am the captain!"

Chapter 21: Saving the Grand Continent?

[Goblin-level Quest: Collect 500 Undead Flowers.]

[Reward: 6 gold coins, 1 goblin points.]

[Limited Time Offer: Within 5 days of accepting the quest.]

The Necromancer Flower is the most common necromantic product in Baron Della's castle.

The Duchy of Sand, the Duchy of Storms, and the Golden Kingdom are in dire need of necromantic items.

A regular Necromancer Flower can be sold for 1 silver coin.

The person who posted this quest is offering a 6-gold reward, so they probably need it urgently, as the Necrobloom is a material used in alchemy, tailoring, and blacksmithing.

……

[Goblin-level Quest: Collect 20 complete vertebrae from undead skeletons.]

[Reward: 5 gold coins, 1 goblin points.]

[Limited Time Offer: Within 5 days of accepting the quest.]

The spine of a skeletal undead has relatively limited uses; it can be ground into powder for alchemy, or the whole spine can be used to forge specific weapons.

The blacksmiths of the Duchy of Mad Sand like to forge "whip-shaped" weapons from the spines of undead skeletons, which they then sell to other places through merchants. This is considered a fairly well-known "specialty" of the Duchy of Mad Sand.

……

[Goblin-level Quest: Collect 1 Ghost Heart.]

[Reward: 10 gold coins, 2 goblin points.]

[Limited Time Offer: Within 5 days of accepting the quest.]

Ghost Hearts are only produced in "Mutant" Ghosts.

Its uses are closely related to alchemy and magic professions.

The Ghost Heart has the effect of mitigating the influence of elements. When combined with other materials, it can be used to create specific potions that allow novice magic users to confidently engage with elements, thus enabling them to quickly get started.

Well-equipped places like mage academies keep a year-round supply of Ghost Hearts to help new students connect with the elements, mitigate dangers, and become true mages.

Only the mages of Rolling Stone Town have relied on unorthodox methods and worked with the elements from the very beginning.

Baron Della's castle is not short of ghosts; every day, ghosts undergo "mutations."

After some selection by Levi and his three companions—actually, it was Samantha who helped Levi choose the three tasks.

He accepted the three missions to Baron Della's castle on behalf of "Yulia's Squad".

Because Yulia's squad only had "13 Goblin Points" after completing the Goblin Camp mission.

Samantha was powerless this time, so she used her connections to help Levi.

A goblin-level squad with less than 50 points can only accept a maximum of three unfinished missions.

These are the rules set by the Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

For every task that times out or fails, the Adventurers' Guild will compensate the task poster with a certain percentage of the reward.

In the Adventurers' Guild rules, team points are linked to strength.

The stronger you are, the more trustworthy you are in the Adventurers' Guild.

Li Wei is tentatively scheduled to depart tomorrow morning.

Undead creatures are different from monsters.

He needed to prepare some items for the squad to deal with undead creatures.

Bones, Duron, and Yulia left first.

Li Wei and Samantha went up to the second floor.

After feeling good.

Samantha nestled in Levi's arms and reminded him:

"Things aren't going well in the Navia Mountains. People are turning their attention to places they used to avoid, and Baron Dela's castle is one of the targets. In the last few days, many adventurer teams have taken on related missions. Be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Undead creatures are distinct from monsters.

They are difficult to kill using conventional physical methods.

Magic-based professionals are best at dealing with undead creatures, especially "priests".

However, not every adventurer's party has a magic-based class member in charge.

Most of the time, when a quest related to "necromantics" is received, a magic-based professional will be temporarily hired.

Everything went smoothly and thankfully.

If you encounter some setbacks.

Even if the task is completed, the profits afterward are not enough to cover the cost of hiring a legal professional.
