Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze
Chapter 146 Finishing Work
Time turned over like an hourglass, and when the light of the moon tree gradually shrank, the morning light in the distance dyed the clouds flowing over the Youru Swamp red.
The mist and morning rain made the journey home a little tortuous.
But because of Zelong's remaining dragon power, many weak monsters did not dare to approach him, which saved the trouble of fighting.
Fan Wei and his colleagues thought for a long time, cut a lot of wood around, tied them to Zelong in sections, and used the water flow and buoyancy to slowly transport him to the outside of the swamp.
At the same time, Rody and Bernoulli returned along the same route and carefully drove the Water Dragon to the nearest place to pick up the enemy.
After getting lost many times and experiencing all kinds of trouble, they finally left the distant floating swamp along the river. With the boat whistling loudly, they headed towards the gate of the maze, dragging the marsh dragon that was longer than itself.
Along the way, many adventure fleets encountered this shocking scene, which attracted many people to run onto the deck to watch and blow their horns from afar to salute.
This is respect for the dragon slayer! As a group that relies on strength to make a living, adventurers, like mercenaries and the military, have a culture and habit of respecting the strong.
It is estimated that the voyage of the Baimu team will go viral in the tavern in a few days and become one of many stories.
Passing by the Gate Island, everyone stopped the boat and carried Westan and Norma to revive them. After the divine power of the resident priest, the two people who had been lying dead for most of the day sat up with a deep breath and subconsciously made defensive moves.
"Uh, is it over?" Norma asked with lingering fear when she saw that they were already inside the church.
The dragon's might and the terrifying magic still cast a shadow over her heart.
"Of course, let me tell you, dragon meat is delicious~!"
While showing off, Yani briefly told the other two about the battle. They were stunned. They didn't expect that she could make a comeback under such circumstances.
But hunting a dragon? That's something you can brag about for the rest of your life!
Amid the watching of a crowd of adventurers, the aftereffects of resurrection and body repair faded away, and the two no longer had back pain, leg soreness, or buzzing in their heads.
I just begged Fan Wei to make another dragon meat dinner!
We boarded the ship again and set off. White waves rushed into the majestic maze gate. The Water Dragon returned to the river. The turbulent river water caused the ship to shift slightly. The heavy rain made it impossible to even see the shore and the dock.
"Oh my god, this rain is abnormally heavy!"
Looking at the exaggerated white splashes hitting the glass, Roddy felt that he had never seen such long-lasting and terrifying rainfall since he could remember!
"The climate this year is so weird..." everyone was talking about it.
Fortunately, the Shuilong was not a small boat, and it sailed smoothly back to the dock against the wind and waves. In the distance, workers were waving oil lamps in their hands against the huge waves to provide guidance.
After returning to its position, the boat immediately dropped ropes and fixed them firmly on the shore piles.
The huge dragon head towed behind the boat scared the ordinary employees. Some of them sat down on the floor and were almost washed away by the waves.
"Hey, is the steward here? We need to hoist our prey ashore!"
Yani stood on the heaving bow of the boat and shouted proudly downwards.
Ten minutes later, Fan Wei and his friends were sitting in the reception room of the dock shipyard, holding hot tea in their hands and waiting for the warmth from the fireplace to dry their clothes.
Soon, a bookish man with flat-framed glasses and light gray hair walked in with a muscular, gray-bearded shipyard supervisor.
"Hello, friends of Team Baimu, I am Silundo, the purchasing director of the Luketia Chamber of Commerce."
The bookish young man bowed to greet and introduce himself.
"I'm taking the liberty of visiting you because I want to discuss the purchase of the dragon outside. Although the guild has its own channels for purchasing materials, our chamber of commerce is willing to offer a higher price!"
It turned out to be a buyer. The members of Baimu’s team looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.
Although Zelong is not a very strong dragon and the materials on its body are only of superior quality and not top-grade, but because of its reputation, various dragon materials and products sell well in the market.
Especially for the martial knights and aristocratic families, their possessions would basically be snatched away as soon as they made a move.
This makes many merchants extremely hungry for dragon products, especially since many materials are not expensive in production areas like Maze Street, but their value will soar when they are transported to wealthy cities and the capital of the empire!
So naturally, some people will come here to smell the benefits.
"What price are you going to offer?" After discussing for a while, Yani pretended to be calm to make herself appear more mature and stable.
"As captain, I must be responsible for the interests of my teammates."
Silendo gave me an understanding smile, stretched out his hand to write an offer on the paper, and pushed it over.
Eighty gold coins, which is about 40% to 50% higher than the ordinary channels, is the price of the whole Zelong. But because it is still useful, Fan Wei and his team will certainly not sell them all.
So after some bargaining.
Zelong was disassembled into its various parts, and most of the dragon skin, dragon bones, dragon teeth and dragon scales were sold for forty-five gold coins.
The remaining tendons and dragon blood will be sold to the guild to earn points. At the same time, everyone will keep some materials and process them into their own equipment.
After the deal was finalized, Silendo happily shook hands with everyone.
"We are very honored to have this cooperation. If you hunt other high-level monsters in the future, we will also buy them at a higher price!"
After leaving his business card and paying the advance generously, the director said goodbye.
The shipyard manager who had been drinking a bottle of cheap liquor beside him smiled and burped. “I’m just an average broker. I hope you don’t mind~”
This kind of routine of introducing people, building relationships, and earning tips is not uncommon in adventurers' transactions.
And only stronger teams of adventurers can encounter it, which is a kind of indirect symbol of strength, so people naturally don't mind it.
After a brief apology, the old manager got down to business, took a sip of wine, and said professionally
"I just asked a worker to take a look. The damage to your ship isn't too serious, but since you haven't taken out insurance yet, the cost of repairing and installing the required framework will be around ten silver coins."
"So expensive!" Yani exclaimed. This is almost one sixteenth of the selling price!
"Alas..." The old supervisor sighed and shook his head, "In fact, I admire you. It's your first time sailing, and you dare to charge the enemy ship before you have learned the skills in depth!"
"Please introduce such a genius to me!"
Yani paused, curled her lips and whispered: "...Tsk, what does the old man know!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn't bargain in the end and paid the money with a heavy heart.
Even though they only earned dozens of gold coins from this order, the team divided the profits according to their contributions. The bulk of the money, about twenty gold coins, went to Yunxin, and then Fan Wei, Bernoulli, and Norma got a little more.
Although she was the captain, Yani did not do anything throughout the whole process. She only got one gold medal and was also held responsible for her violent driving.
"Brother, why don't you give me your share as well? I'll return it to you when you get married!"
Roddy shuddered and shrank aside silently, expressing his deep doubt.
After receiving a large reward, everyone went to the guild with a smile on their face, handed in some materials, and completed the mission. As a team with great development potential, Adventurer Points were also very important to them.
Points and levels are equivalent to an adventurer's resume, and are the stepping stone to becoming an honorary member and using the guild's privileges.
Fan Wei and Uncle Bernoulli went out alone to look up information about the wish gem and the mysterious island. With the help of their one-star honorary membership, they quickly got the content for free.
'The Wish Gem, a mysterious stone that is said to shine with seven colors, was produced in the ruins of the maze.'
'It has appeared six times in history, and all six wishes were fulfilled perfectly without obvious adverse effects, but most of the people whose wishes were fulfilled ended up in misery, and the appearance of the gemstone is always accompanied by turmoil and war.'
Fan Wei looked at the information and felt uneasy about such legendary things.
He doesn't really believe that there is such a thing as making wishes come true for no reason in the world.
'The wishes that have been known to be fulfilled so far include becoming a king, reviving a loved one, gaining extreme power, curing the plague, obtaining a box of gold, and stopping the war.'
'Among them, an adventurer who became the king of a kingdom made up of mindless puppets was conquered and died;
The adventurer who resurrected his lover was killed by his enemy;
An adventurer who gained great power died because of challenging God.'
'The adventurer who cured the plague lived a peaceful life and is still worshipped as a saint in the Enzel region; the adventurer who obtained a box of gold also lived a peaceful old age; the one who stopped the war died by suicide.'
'The conditions for using the wish gem are still unknown, and the owner has not revealed it, so it is speculated that there are certain problems.'
'The power limit of the gem exceeds that of ordinary gods, but it does not pose a clear threat to the gods. There may be other wishers, but there is no clear record.'
The information before us seems to have indicated that the Wish Gem is an ominous thing.
Maybe it won't be like the "monkey's paw" in horror stories, which will distort the way the wisher realizes his wish, but the fulfillment of the wish should be accompanied by an unspeakable price.
Wouldn't it be some cliché plot about selling your soul to the devil?
Fan Wei complained in his heart. Seeing Uncle Bernoulli staring at the information in a daze, he picked up the information about the mysterious island and looked through it. A place where even the famous explorer Wo Kane disappeared should not be simple.
But there is very little information about the island, and even the guild did not know before that Vo Kane's disappearance was related to the island.
'Ghost Island', this is the code name of the small island in the information.
Like everything that is difficult to understand, it was given a hasty name related to mystery and death.
Adventurers had tried to land on the island, but almost without exception they ended up dead. Although they could be resurrected, they all went crazy in an incomprehensible way.
He was resisting desperately all the time, as if facing something extremely terrifying, hysterically attacking a position where there was nothing, or collapsing and howling.
Only high concentrations of tranquilizers can calm them.
The guild also organized an investigation, but the senior adventurer who led the team was soon forced to use a teleportation spell to lead his team members to escape.
One of them also went crazy after death. The team members could not explain what happened, but they just heard that teammate suddenly shouting.
"What is that? In the sky, at the edge of the world? No, there are monsters! There are monsters!"
He unleashed an attacking skill, but completely lost sight of his target, and then suddenly died, with no signs of injury on his body.
For safety reasons, the guild blocked off the island and warned adventurers not to approach.
"This..." Just looking at the records, Fan Wei felt a little scared. The information also included a simple map drawn by the investigation team and the route.
They had penetrated about one-third of the way into the island. On the surface, except for the lack of life, the island was normal in every way.
Bernoulli also took the information, read the records on it, fell into silence for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.
"Give it up, Van...you shouldn't take this risk."
Seeing the dejection and old age on Uncle Bernoulli's face, Fan Wei wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to start. It was really cruel to have hope that could be seen but not touched.
"That's right!" The guild employee who was helping Fan Wei and the others find information suddenly said.
"Mr. Misr, there is new news about the mysterious island. An adventurer recently found a bottle written by Mr. Wo Kane, who had been missing for many years, and found that he seemed to be there!"
The employee said politely but with some excitement.
"I've always wondered how a great adventurer like Mr. Kane could suddenly disappear. Maybe he just went to explore greater secrets and mysteries!"
"Although this matter has not yet been entered into the data, the guild has decided to cooperate with those adventurers and organize another exploration."
A bit unexpected, but makes sense.
If Mr. Waugh Kane really wanted to seek help, it would be impossible for him to just throw a bottle.
Now that the news has spread, the wealthy guild will naturally have the confidence to deal with the so-called ghost island. The treasures, secrets, and wish gems mentioned there are extremely attractive to most people.
I just hope these aren't lies Mr. Kane told in order to be rescued.
Fan Wei thought of another possibility.
"Thank you for your reminder." After thanking the young employee, he reported what they found in the foggy sea and the matter of the group of pirate adventurers.
This kind of information is beneficial to the guild management and the safety of adventurers. If verified, it will also receive corresponding points and monetary rewards.
“There is such a thing.”
The guild employee sighed, "The more dangerous the maze level, the more chaotic it is. I don't quite understand why everyone always turns their swords against their own kind."
"Thank you, Mr. Misr, I will report this matter to the record!"
After recording all the information, Fan Wei and Bernoulli went back to find their companions. Even though it was raining heavily, the Adventurer's Guild was still bustling with people.
The hustle and bustle, the noise, the loud talk were rising and falling all around, but it seemed that none of it had anything to do with Bernoulli.
He said nothing, as if he was thinking intensely, so much so that his brows were furrowed and there was a wavering light in his eyes.
"Hey, uncle! Why did you guys just come back? I ordered some premium wine for you. It's said that this kind of wine tastes good and is not addictive."
Yani raised her hand and called out, and her teammates sat in a circle, all with happy smiles on their faces.
With his eyes feeling a little sore, Bernoulli walked over, picked up the wine glass, then slowly put it down, opened his mouth, but lowered his head with difficulty.
"What's wrong, uncle?" Rody noticed his abnormality. "Is there something bothering you? You can tell us. We have been teammates for such a long time, I'm sure I can help you."
With a low sigh, Fan Wei guessed something and took a sip of the juice.
Then Bernoulli spoke hoarsely, "Yani, Rody... I... I have to make a decision..."
"I decided to quit the team..."
