Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 10:
Yoy, who became the weakest link in the entire team, was not frustrated, but rather angry.
As the student with the best basic grades in Isuka School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she has never dragged back in any activities, even in confrontational activities that she is not good at!
(A magician, the most important thing is not the ability to cast spells, but a clever and clear mind, rich and practical knowledge.)
Recalling the principal’s teaching, her mood gradually calmed down.
“I think we should reorganize the resources and intelligence at hand.” She suddenly said, “Perhaps we may encounter an enemy soon. It will never hurt to make some preparations in advance.”
“There will be no enemies.” The young soldier with a beard and the lower half of his face said, “I asked when I went to take the mission. The castle is just Haunted, but there has never been a ghost attacking people.”
“But under normal circumstances, no one would enter this dilapidated castle.” Of course, Yoy would not be refuted so easily, and immediately pointed out the omission of intelligence, “So, who on earth discovered this haunted place? Why are they willing to spend money to hire adventurers to deal with the problems here?”
Everyone is silent, you look at me, I look at you, don’t know how to answer.
After a few seconds, the trainee soldier said uncertainly: “There is no client’s information in the mission intelligence, but judging from the salary…Is it because the villagers who felt uneasy had collected fifty? Gold coins, come and hire us?”
“If you were a villager, would you take out these fifty gold coins for the sake of haunting the castle at least two miles away from the village where many people are uninhabited?” Yui asked rhetorically.
“Of course not!” The captain of the adventure team, the young trainee knight replied immediately, “You are right! This is really not quite right!”
Compared to warriors who focus on fighting, knights have to learn a lot more. Military, command, strategy… In theory, a qualified knight is not only a master of combat, but also the role of a team commander. Although the level of the trainee knight is not very high, if he is reminded to the point where he still hasn’t realized the problem, he won’t even be a “trainee”!
“If there has been no ghost attack here, or if there has been an attack but no one is injured, it is impossible for the villagers to pay for this kind of thing that is not directly related to their lives.” The trainee knight said while thinking. “Even if it is haunted here? Ghosts rarely leave their habitat to attack, so just avoid this side. Compared to fifty gold coins, avoiding this area is obviously much easier and more cost-effective. .”
Everyone nodded, and Yui couldn’t help but smile.
She was still a little worried before, whether her teammates would be the kind of fools who are not paying for their lives. Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. Although these virtual teammates lack combat ability and adventure experience, at least they are still very clear in their minds and not blind.
That’s enough!
“Captain, do you mean that there have been ghost attacks here, and people have died, so the villagers are very upset and hire us to solve the ghosts?” The trainee soldier widened his eyes and exclaimed angrily. , “Did they fake mission intelligence? How dare they deceive a group of adventurers!”
“It may not be a mission issued by the villagers.” The trainee knight shook his head, “As I said just now, even if there is a ghost attack here, even if it is dead, what about it? Avoid here, don’t Get closer, isn’t it all right?”
“The captain meant that… the person who issued the mission has a reason to approach or even enter here.” The trainee ranger groaned, “They have been attacked by ghosts and are very scared. But they must come again. Here-so they have no choice but to ask adventurers for help.”
“Yes, this is the greatest possibility!” The apprentice knight nodded and said, “Theoretically, they dare not falsify the mission information, so’No one here has been attacked and killed by a ghost’ may be true. Yes. But this does not mean that there are no ghosts or ghosts are weak. It is more likely that the attacked party responded quickly and retreated in time.”
“Is there such a quick response?” The trainee warrior frowned and said, “It’s just ordinary people.”
“What if they are not ordinary people?” The trainee knight sneered, “Do you think who needs to enter such a castle frequently?”
“Adventurous?” the priest asked.
The knight shook his head: “They are people who do underground transactions. Many of their transactions are not visible. They should find some inaccessible places as trading places. This old castle is not too far from the nearby town, and the villagers dare not approach it. Isn’t it the best place to trade?”
That said, everyone became nervous.
People who don’t know how to buy and sell are generally a little capable. Enemies who can make them retreat in a panic, or even have to hire adventurers, I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with!
“That’s what I think, so we need to be prepared now.” Yui answered in time, “Considering that the enemy may be tricky for people like smugglers, I would rather spend money. We must be well prepared for the powerful characters who are willing to fight with them.”
She paused, and couldn’t help but still try to solve the problem relatively easily, saying: “In fact, we can retreat now and go back and ask the employer to provide detailed information… For us, this task is a bit too much. It’s difficult, I’m afraid it’s hard to guarantee that there will be no casualties.”
The last sentence made everyone’s face gloomy, and even the more optimistic trainee soldiers couldn’t help but frown.
“You are right, but…we are out of money.” The trainee knight said with a wry smile, “Even the toll to go back to the city is gone. If you want to go back, you can only rely on walking. And after returning to the city, we are also today. There is no money to stay-the Adventurer’s Guild Hall does not provide free accommodation.”
“And… even if the mission information is incorrect, the mission deposit will not be refunded.” The trainee ranger sighed, “In addition to the travel expenses here, we also paid the deposit for the last bit of money. I borrowed some money from the Adventurer’s Guild. It was agreed at the time that the money must be repaid in three days at most, otherwise interest will be paid. If I go back now, I will definitely not have time to complete other tasks within three days… The adventurer qualification is cancelled.”
It’s really a penny to stump heroes. Of course they can go back, but going back means losing income and even unemployment.
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, all look frustrated.
(How can these people be so shabby!)
Joy couldn’t help sighing, but he had to put on a smile and tried to comfort everyone.
Fortunately, her character as a “trainee mage” probably looks good, and the effect of persuasion is not bad, and everyone’s faces are gradually improving.
After clearing up the mood, everyone began to organize things and prepare for the possible battle.
“You said we set fire to this old castle, how about it?” The trainee soldier had a whim and proposed.
“Theoretically speaking, it should be possible.” The trainee ranger’s eyes lit up, “This castle is so dilapidated, it must have no owner. Even if there is a fire in the land of no owner, there will be no one else!”
“What if there is a master?” the trainee knight asked, “What if its owner just doesn’t like it here?”
“If you have a master, you won’t even have a servant in charge of cleaning, right.” The pastor apprentice said.
“Perhaps there were servants, but they were killed by the guys doing **** business~IndoMTL.com~Youyi sighed, “Or maybe…the one we have to deal with is that Even if he is dead, he will never forget the loyal servant who wants to protect his master’s property. “
This made everyone’s hair stand upright, and the trainee yelled: “Don’t say such horrible things! It’s scary and scary!”
Youyi sighed and shook his head, and pointed to the floor: “Did you not pay attention? Although the floor is old and damaged, it has not grown even a weed. For the ruins, this is impossible. The only explanation is that someone is taking care of it.”
Everyone followed her fingers and looked around. Not only did they not see a weed, but they couldn’t even see the larger dirt spots and thicker stains.
Although this old castle is dilapidated, it is actually quite clean inside.
As a result, everyone’s face worsened.
No one knows, there is a huge jellyfish phantom above the castle, watching here.
“Hey! Really play the virtual experience into infinite horror!” Sui Xiong looked at Yui’s performance and couldn’t help but smile, “This little girl has a future!”
