Chapter 163: Being Beaten and Having Mental Problems.
This is a list of bounty tasks released by the City of Order Guild Stronghold. The top five tasks correspond to the floor owners of the five buildings in the middle area.
The first, the Demon King Tiefling, has a bounty of 1 million gold coins;
the second, the Sphinx, has a bounty of 300,000 gold coins;
the third, the Kraken, has a bounty of 200,000 gold coins. ;
The fourth, Hydra, has a bounty of 80,000 gold coins;
the fifth, Giant Goliath, has a bounty of 50,000 gold coins;
the bounties of the five floor owners are all above 50,000 gold coins, the first and the Five were short of 20 times the bounty.
It can be roughly seen that fourth and fifth are the same level, second and third are the same level, and first place is the only powerful one.
As if she saw that Philip wanted to ask something, the female mage took the initiative to explain to him:
"The lower-ranked floor masters, Hydra and Goliath, are no longer ordinary sixth-level adventurers who can challenge them alone. Got it.
"The Sphinx and the North Sea Monster, which are ranked second and third, can only be hunted down by the cooperation of multiple top ten adventure teams in the City of Order. "
At this point, she stopped talking.
Philip asked curiously: "What about Tiefling, the number one demon king? Barbara
showed a smile of unknown meaning and said softly:
"That, in fact, can also be regarded as the main monster of the lower area."
"Even if the strongest adventurers in the entire City of Order add up, it would be too dangerous to hunt it.
" Although it will appear on the task list in the middle area, under normal circumstances, it is taken by the strong ones in the guild's holy realm. Kill it.
Phillip blinked and asked in a low voice: "Who is the strongest adventurer in the City of Order? " "
"You have a lot of problems. Barbara
smiled helplessly and said: "Who is the strongest? This is a question that will offend people, so I can't answer you directly."
"I can only say that the Lord of the City of Order is the most respected person here." "
Oh."
Philip continued to look down the list.
He found that behind the five floor owners, there was no longer a hunter for monsters. It's a mission, but it's related to adventurers. It can be said that they are wanted by criminals.
However, the list does not detail the crimes committed by these individuals.
When Philip asked Barbara about this matter, the female mage was silent for a few seconds and said:
"You just need to know that the guild also has enemies, and those enemies hiding in the shadows and crowds are more dangerous than monsters. ."
The young man nodded thoughtfully. He turned over the back of the list and finally found what he had been looking for.
The task with the 23rd highest bounty,
——Find the reason why the monsters on the 25th floor were infected with rotting corpse toxin, with a reward of 2,000 gold coins.
Phillip asked curiously: "Madam, I heard that in the past two days, most of the monsters on the 25th floor turned into rotten corpses in a short time?" "This is
indeed the case."
Barbara looked at the boy At a glance, "You are a necromancer, so you care about this?"
When seeing Philip's surprised look, the female mage explained lightly:
"There are generally only a few professions that can get the third-level adventurer evaluation before becoming an archmage. And bloodline, it is easy to guess.
"If you feel it carefully at a closer distance, you have a very faint power of the undead. "
Oh." Phillip
hesitated for a moment and continued to ask:
"Madam, why is the event that can cause the monsters on the entire floor to mutate so far down on this task list?" The bounty is only 2000? "
Hmm..."
Barbara pondered for a moment and explained:
"Although there was a lot of movement, the ones affected were only level four monsters at the highest. That kind of poison is ineffective against level five and above."
"In fact, before the guild officially took action, all the rotting corpses exploded, and no serious losses were caused.
" For this matter, the guild staff of the City of Order speculated on several reasons,
"The most likely reason is A necromancer of unknown origin, or caused by the ability of a high-level undead. "The strength of that mage or undead will most likely not exceed level five. It can only be regarded as a small role, or a monster with ordinary strength.
"Not to mention compared with the floor masters of the fifth building, but compared with the wanted criminals at the top, the danger is one level lower.
"The mission bounty is closely related to the target's strength, which is why the bounty is low.
"Speaking of which, this mission is quite troublesome. I guess no one is willing to take it.
"Anyway, I won't waste my time on such a low-value target. Killing a few level five monsters will earn you more than this bounty.
Finally, the female mage looked at the young man and asked, "Are you interested in this mission? " "
Phillip nodded vigorously.
"Well, it's originally related to the undead, maybe it's just right for you..."
Barbara thought for a while and said: "No one should be able to grab this task, but I can fight for it. I'll leave it to you.
"Of course, you are not strong enough or experienced to be on your own. I will arrange for you to be the deputy of others and take some free time outside of our hunting plan to be responsible for investigating this matter. "But to be honest, I don't expect that either
. If you can really investigate anything with your strength, just think of it as asking someone to help you gain more experience.
" Thank you, ma'am. " "Philip said.
"..."
At this moment, the somewhat noisy tavern suddenly became quiet.
Philip noticed keenly that even the female mage, who had always had a calm face, frowned slightly for an instant, and the hand holding the cigarette rod became stiff. Live.
Who is here?
He was curious, and followed everyone's gaze to the door,
and saw a young-looking elf with gloomy eyes walking in from the door.
He was not tall, He had slender limbs and long, wavy golden hair that was a little messy.
He was wearing dark green tights, and his shoulders, forearms, chest and other parts were covered with thin white armor. He carried a silver spear engraved with runes on his back. As soon as he came in
, Everyone closed their mouths,
and those who looked at him quickly looked away, as if they were afraid of looking at him more.
The elf walked to the front desk, took out a few silver coins from his arms and put them on the table. After finishing a glass of wine, he turned around and left. After
he left, it took a few seconds for people in the tavern to gradually resume communication.
Barbara also let out a breath and said to the confused boy beside her:
"The elf's name is Al. Be careful not to provoke him.
"He is very strong and ranks among the best among level six adventurers. , I am not his opponent either. "
Even you are no match?
Philip was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the elf who looked unkempt and had a gloomy expression would be so powerful.
Barbara continued:
"I heard that some time ago, Al was arrogant enough to challenge . A monster one level stronger than myself.
"Sure enough, he suffered a disastrous defeat. He even lost his weapons and escaped with his life seriously injured.
"Since then, his temper has become even worse, and no one is willing to talk to him now.
"I really don't know why he suddenly became stupid and challenged the floor master-level monsters alone. As a result, he was beaten to the point where he even had mental problems." The female mage finally warned the young man with a serious expression: "Your magic power
is
very weak now, but Even if you want to quickly improve your strength, you can't be as irrational as him, do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand." Phillip nodded quickly.
