On the 11th day, before dawn, Luana, who was in charge of the night watch, woke up Gongyou and Hilo. It was only about 3 or 4 am. The three of them packed up their tents and went to the underground river to wash up. They also ate breakfast before they began to carry more than 100 kilograms of silver coins out of the ruins. Because the load was much heavier than when they came, even if they did not take a detour, it took a long time to return.
The three of them chatted in the quiet passage of the ruins as they traveled. When they were close to the exit, they suddenly thought of the topic of food." When we get back to town, let's go eat something delicious to celebrate." Do you guys have any preferences?”
"Roast meat." Luana was still a straightforward meat pie as usual. Ever since she met Gong You, she had been eating a lot of meat products for every meal and did not feel tired of it.
"I want to eat candy, the very, very sweet kind that I can only eat at the annual celebration in the past.”Hilo, who had lost her loved ones since she was young, was happiest only during the few days of the annual celebration. The priests would take the orphans from the orphanage out to play. Perhaps what she wanted was not candy, but a happy life with someone to accompany her.
" You like meat and sugar…Are you all children?'However, after thinking about it carefully, Hilo and Luana were not wrong to say that they were children. In the world before he transmigrated, eighteen years old was considered an adult.
And the 'very sweet sugar' that Hilo mentioned should be referring to the caramel, right? She couldn't stand food that was too sweet.
As for Luana... everyone liked meat, but if possible, they would prefer a lighter cooking method. Eating too much barbecue would make them a little hot.
"Hilo, Luana, roasted meat is indeed great, but do you know how many flavors there are? I know a restaurant that serves special sweet and sour pork. In addition, they also serve fried and spicy meat. Do you want to try it?”They couldn't help but think of a delicacy in this world that was similar to sweet and sour pork, so they tempted the two women.
"Sour meat?" Luana asked curiously.
"Sweet meat?" Hilo asked curiously.
"Let's go together." X2, Hilo and Luana looked at each other and said in unison. Delicious food was a rare treasure in the border where spices were scarce.
Since the two girls liked it, the three of them decided to go together. Even if the shop was a little expensive, they should be able to accept it, right? Anyway, they were paying together. Because it was too easy to obtain coins previously, his view of prices and money in this world was slightly different. He had been ridiculed by the two women many times.
"In order to celebrate the great harvest of exploring the ruins for the first time, let me treat you to a super delicious meal.”As they chatted and joked, the three of them temporarily forgot their fatigue and insisted on climbing the last uphill road to the entrance.
"That's great. Oh." Luana cheered loudly. She was always the most active when it came to freeloading.
"Thank you, Mr. Gongyou." Perhaps it was because Hilo's backpack was full of silver coins, but this time, even she, who never liked to take advantage of others, also joined in.
"Haha, let's savor the fruits of our current victory and look forward to the amazing adventures in the future.”He could already hear the sound of the horses tied to the entrance. He gave his last encouragement and hope for this adventure in the ruins.
Hilo and Luana, who were walking side by side with him, were dancing with joy. When he turned to look at the darkness behind him again, the wind that had once been frightened by it was now like a horn to celebrate victory, wishing that every day in the future would be a better time.
The sunlight from the exit of the ruins was very dazzling. Just as Gongyou squinted his eyes to get used to it, Hilo and Luana happily jumped into the sunlight and walked out of the ruins together.
.
In order to speed up their journey, they fed a bottle of Energy Serum to each of the three starving horses along the way. Finally, before noon, the three of them rode their horses back to the border town under the sun. They watched the lively pedestrians coming and going on the streets. They had experienced two battles in the underground darkness and stayed for more than ten hours in a row. The depression and loneliness in their hearts slowly dissipated. Hilo and Luana led their horses forward with smiles on their faces.
After returning to the square house, the two girls ran into the bathroom to take a bath, leaving one person to feed the horse and prepare lunch. However, he was in a good mood after receiving the new incantation. He did not go to the kitchen obediently, but went out to pack three sets of sumptuous food. The two girls, who had already changed into new clothes after bathing, did not blame him for being extravagant this time. Perhaps this was the so-called having money in hand and not panicking. After all, each of them had received about 300,000 RMB worth of silver coins.
After dinner, he came out of the shower and saw Luana alone in the living room. After asking, he found out that Hilo had gone to the temple. This made him think of something. He hoped that she wouldn't donate everything on impulse and would think more about herself.'
After all, it was Hilo's own choice, and he would not object to it. Even if she really had no money, it did not matter. At most, she could just raise it in the name of the Adventurer Team. He then asked Luana, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, if she wanted to go out with him. However, he was told that she had to guard the treasure and could not leave. He had no choice but to go out alone.
Help me navigate and find a gift that suits them?』
[Omniscient: Please head to the North District…]
This time, he didn't go to the workshop to buy enchanted equipment for the two girls because he asked Omniscient about equipment that was more suitable for them. He bought it from other retired Adventurers. Although it was only second-hand, it was not bad. After all, Border Town was a remote place, so there were only so many equipment to choose from.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Gong You stopped in front of a large house that was much larger than the house he lived in. He observed the situation for a while and knocked on the courtyard door. After waiting for another half a minute, a well-dressed middle-aged woman opened the door. She looked at Gong You for a while and probably couldn't find his identity in her memories. She asked," May I know who you're looking for?"”
Gong Youye observed his target's expression for a while before introducing himself according to the routine he had thought of before." I'm an active adventurer. I want to buy a set of enchanted equipment used by martialists. I heard about you from other adventurers, so I took the liberty to visit.”
"Enchanted equipment? I see. Come in then.”The middle-aged woman led the way as she asked," Who told you that I have enchanted equipment?”
"I don't think you know them. After all, you were very famous when you were an adventurer.”He had been able to fool people casually, and now he had a better grasp of how to fool people.
"Ah, that's true. Back then, I was also a very famous bronze adventurer at the border. I didn't expect that so many people would still recognize me.”The middle-aged woman was very happy with Gong You's respectful words. She laughed and took him to the living room to sit down.
After that, he had a long conversation with the retired adventurer about the equipment. Although he knew from Omniscient that there were enchanted equipment suitable for Luana, he was still not sure about some details. Therefore, he took the opportunity to learn more about the main equipment of his companion in the future.
The middle-aged woman had a full set of enchanted equipment in her hands, including gloves, a belt, and boots. She used to be a martialist, so the three pieces of equipment she had prepared for herself were very suitable for Luana, who was also a martialist. Although the middle-aged woman was only the lowest bronze medal among high-level adventurers when she was still an adventurer, she was not weaker than ordinary silver medal adventurers with this set of enchanted equipment. It was only later that she chose to retire from the Adventurers Guild because she wanted to marry her sweetheart. And lived a peaceful life.
After that, he also saw three enchanted equipment. The first gauntlet was a gauntlet with half a finger exposed. There was armor on the back of the finger and hard magic steel on the back of the hand, extending all the way to half of the forearm. There were several magic crystals embedded on the inner side of the wrist, and an incantation was engraved. When activated, it could increase the user's arm strength to at least 1,000 kilograms (1e4J/s).
The second metal belt was made of metal. Magic crystals were embedded in the metal blocks, and then the pieces of metal blocks were connected to form a ring belt. The inner waist area was padded with soft wool. The ability to add incantations was to provide the wearer with an all-round physical enhancement, but the effect was more physical, so it was not wrong to call it physical enhancement.
The third battle boots were made from the hard skin of magical beasts. From the heel up to the calf, half of the boots were wrapped inside. There were also a large number of small circular metal pieces on the outside to protect the feet, so that the ankles would not be injured when kicking. The incantation increased the strength of the legs. It was not only useful for kicking, but also for running in battle. The explosive power was extremely strong.
In addition, the three pieces of equipment were all light pink. Although men could also use them, their designs were more feminine.
Half Arm Gloves with additional arm strength enhancement incantation, worth 160 gold coins (480,000 RMB)
A metal belt with additional strength enhancement incantation, worth 180 gold coins (540,000 RMB)
160 Gold Coins (480,000 RMB)
The final price was the result of bargaining. The three pieces of equipment added up to exactly 500 gold coins (1,500,000 RMB). This way, he could return the favor of the magic book. It was just right as a gift.
After the transaction, Gong You immediately left with the three pieces of equipment. Although the middle-aged woman asked him to stay for dinner and introduce him to her husband, a famous wealthy businessman in the border town, he did not need these useless connections, so he did not disturb them. Perhaps they would never have any interactions in the future.
After preparing the gift for Luana, he went to the temple of Earth Mother next to the mansion. Hilo's gift needed to be obtained here. Because he had been here many times, he walked directly into the temple group and asked the staff to lead him to the priest. At this time, the priest, who was the assistant bishop, was resting in the backyard office. After knocking on the door, he was immediately allowed to enter.
"You are Gongyou? I remember that you were on an adventure with that child Hilo and another little girl. Are you here to find that child Hilo? She just left." The chief priest sat on a simple chair, talking to Tongyou across the clean and tidy old desk. His tone was amiable.
"I'm here hoping to purchase two of the church's Miracle items.”Although Gongyou was also curious about the Divine Priest's sudden mention of Hilo, he still decided to settle the matter first.
"The Church's collection is not for sale, please go back.”The Divine Priest's face darkened when he heard Gongyou's intention. He turned from a caring elder to a stubborn old man who was in charge of the affairs of the church in a town. He spoke with a cold and serious expression as if he was treating a stranger.
"I plan to give the Miracle item I bought to Hilo as a gift.”Gong You ignored the Divine Priest's refusal to receive guests and took the initiative to mention the reason why he bought the equipment.
"…Is that so? If it's given to a priest, it's not against the doctrine. Please come with me.”Sure enough, the chief priest changed his mind after hearing the use of the equipment and agreed to sell the church's props to Common Cause.
Gong You and the head priest came to a small temple behind the main temple. There was a barrier outside the temple that could only be opened by priests and above. There were a lot of church tools in the hall, but only the high-level monk staff and high-level holy robe were useful. The other equipment could barely be called holy grace tools. In the end, Gong You could only choose one with the best effect.
Daily usage of Miracle 5 sticks worth 180 gold coins (540,000 RMB)
A Holy Robe that will automatically activate the Holy Wall when in danger. It is worth 320 gold coins (960,000 RMB).
After discussing the price with the chief priest for a long time, he finally obtained the two custom-made miracle items in the name of 'donating 500 gold coins (1.5 million RMB) to the Church'. During this period, the chief priest also called several high priests to witness it, and made a simplified donation ceremony to' lend 'the miracle items to Hilo, who was not present.
.
By the time he returned to his cottage with the five new equipment, Hilo had already returned. She and Luana were like girls of their age, chatting and laughing on the sofa. Luana was pulling Hilo's robe. When she saw him return, Hilo immediately sat up straight and put on a calm and decent smile. Luana, on the other hand, was still lazily lying on the sofa and looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
"I brought you gifts. Come and see if they fit.”Although Gongyou knew from Omniscient that these five enchanted equipment were very suitable for the two women, he still wanted to see what they looked like when they wore them.
"Oh, another gift? I want it." When Luana heard that there was a gift, she immediately rolled up from the sofa and happily took the gloves, belt, and boots that were handed to her.
"Sorry for letting Mister Gongyou spend so much money." Because he had agreed to accept the gift, Hilo did not refuse this time. He naturally reached out and took the staff and robe from him.
Compared to Luana, who immediately changed into new equipment, Hilo took the staff and robe and looked at them curiously. After a while, he asked," Mr. Gongyou, why are these two pieces of equipment so similar to the miraculous items worn by the Great Priests?”
"Ahem, it's not similar, but genuine. I bought the same equipment that the Great Divine Priests wear.”Gong You, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the two women, replied calmly. The difference between these two pieces of equipment and the high-ranking clergymen of the Church was that the equipment of the Great Priests belonged to the Church. They only had the right to use it but not the ownership. However, the two pieces in Hilo's hands now truly belonged to her.
"How could that be? The church's miracle props could not be bought on the outside market.”Hilo asked in surprise. She knew the rules of the temple, so she felt strange.
"I didn't buy it from outside. I went straight to the Church of Earth Mother to find the chief priest to buy it.”Gong You explained with a laugh. It should be known that if a non-church member wore a church exclusive item without permission, they would be wanted by the church, so no one in the market dared to make the same item.
"The chief priest sold it to Mr. Gong You?”Hilo said in disbelief. She felt like her worldview was collapsing. She didn't expect that the strict chief priest would sell the church's assets privately.
Just as Hilo was trying to reconstruct his worldview with a strange expression on his face, Luana's voice rang out beside him.
"Wow, wow, wow, this is amazing. This is actually a magic tool.”Luana shouted excitedly. Although she had never used an enchanted equipment before, she often stood behind him and watched him use it. Therefore, she realized that something was wrong as soon as she put on the equipment.
"What is it? Magic tools?" Hilo looked at Luana's boxing gloves in surprise. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she lowered her head to check the staff and robe. After confirming that her guess was correct, she said with a blank face," This is also..."
"Gongyou, what's going on?" Luana had thought that the gifts were just ordinary white equipment. Who knew that they were enchanted equipment? The price difference between the two was thousands of times.
"Didn't we agree on this before? I'll give you gifts to make up for the difference in magic books.”Gong You explained with a smile. He was extremely serious about his promise.
"Even so, it's still too precious.”Hilo placed the staff and robes back on the table in the drawing room, then continued,"I can't accept this.”
"I won't accept it either." Although Luana looked reluctant, she still took off the equipment and placed it on the tea table in the middle of the sofa.
"You guys can't do this. It's a basic rule for adventurers to split the rewards equally. You guys gave up the magic book because I needed it urgently. Now that I'm paying you back, you can't refuse. Otherwise, the three of us will break the rules.”Gong You had already thought of the reason for giving the gift, so he explained clearly at this moment. He did not want to sow the seeds of the destruction of the basic relationship between the team because of greed.
" But..." Hilo said hesitantly, but before she could finish, she was interrupted.
"No buts. This is the rule of our guild. Luana, you go first.”Gong You pointed at the enchanted equipment on the table and said. His face was serious and he did not smile, which made the two girls understand that he was serious.
Luana hesitated for half a minute and exchanged a few glances with Hilo. Finally, she held back her laughter and picked up her gloves, belt, and boots, hugging them in her arms.
"What about you, Hilo?" Gong You looked at Hilo and said seriously. At this moment, his face was still stern and he looked very serious.
Hilo looked at Luana and then at Gongyou. He hesitated for a long time before reaching out to pick up the staff and robe. Gongyou smiled and wanted to encourage her, but Hilo took off the robe she was wearing. His eyes twitched when he saw that she was wearing a brand new thin chain armor under the robe, which was tightly wrapped around her slender body.
"I followed what you taught me yesterday and went to buy protective gear.”Hilo explained in a somewhat awkward manner. After saying that, she twisted her delicate body, causing the chain armor to make a slight collision sound. Finally, she put on the newly received high-level holy robe.
Speechless, he pressed his hand against his brows for a while before looking at the two girls again. At this time, Luana had already finished dressing up and was practicing her fists and kicks in the empty space in the living room. With these three enchanted equipment, she only needed to use a step forward punch to shatter the stone bullets fired by the ogres. Even if she couldn't win against the two-headed ogre alone, she wouldn't be instantly killed by the rock club in close combat.
After Hilo was done, she stood up and walked around. With these two magical items, she should be able to block two or three stone bullets from the Ogres before she ran out of energy. She wouldn't become a small fry that could be killed by stray arrows. Coupled with the magic scrolls provided by the public, she would be a small self-disciplined cannon.
Satisfied, he got up and poured himself a glass of water. When he turned around, he found the two girls huddled together and looking at a piece of paper. He felt that it was a little familiar and went over to take a look. He saw that the paper recorded a document issued by the Church of Earth Mother. The content was roughly 'confirming that their adventurer team had conquered a Two-headed Ogre and requested the guild to record it in the adventurer files of the three of them.' The last signature was the chief priest. No wonder he was so amiable when they met in the office just now.
"This is?" Although he had already roughly guessed the reason, he still wanted to ask.
"It's the 'Ogre Crusade Certificate' issued by the Grand Priest when I went back to the Temple. This document can help us accumulate the social contribution of adventurers.”Hilo explained proudly. This was the second time she had used this method. This way, she could skip the guild's investigation and directly use the church's reputation to guarantee the desired result.
"What did you say to the Divine Priest?”Gong You felt a dull pain in his forehead, but he still asked directly.
"Other than the two things that 'Mr. Gongyou is a sage' and 'I obtained a spellbook during an explore', I told the Grand Priest everything else.”Shiloh said in embarrassment. As she explained, she turned her head away. At this moment, she did not even dare to look at Gong You.
Gong You felt very fortunate. Hilo was a man of his word. He didn't tell anyone about the two most important things. As for the rest, he didn't care. It didn't affect him much anyway. Moreover, the documents didn't mention their equipment and tools. The Grand Priest had taken measures to keep it a secret. It was obvious how much he cared about Hilo.
After a short discussion, the three of them decided to go to the guild together to submit the Certificate. Since they would have to go sooner or later, they might as well go now.
When the three of them entered the Adventurer's Guild, they happened to see Catelia leisurely taking a break in the hall. They immediately walked over and greeted her," Good afternoon, Catelia."”
"Ah, it's you. I didn't see you come to the guild to accept the commission yesterday or this morning. I thought something happened to you.”Catelia turned around and complained when she saw the three of them.
"Haha, we went to explore the ruins yesterday, so we didn't come to the guild.”Gong You laughed. Even if it was a guild, he did not want to talk about some private matters.
"Oh, I see. But you came at the right time. I've read the 'Entrustment Completion Report' submitted by Mr. Dilmond Odina. He mentioned that you seem to be a genius mage who can use high-level petrification magic. Therefore, your 'Promotion Review Request' has been confirmed. If you have time now, you should immediately carry out the final personality review.”Catelia said as she put away the tea set. She felt that she was a little unhappy because she was interrupted during afternoon tea time.
"Alright, we have something to tell you.”Gong You turned to look at Hilo, indicating that she should take out the document now.
"Hello, Miss Catalia. This is the proof issued by the Church.”Hilo took out the Certificate and carefully handed it to Catelia.
Catelia first took the Certificate in confusion. After reading it at a glance, she revealed a helpless bitter smile and then muttered to herself," Here it comes again. This is the second time.”
"I'm very sorry, Miss Catalia.”Hiro apologized to Catelia. Although she didn't regret hiding the truth, she was still a little embarrassed, especially after doing it twice in just a few days.
"You all know why there's a promotion review, right?”Catelia looked at the three people in front of her seriously and asked. She wanted to make sure that they already knew this common sense that all adventurers should know.
The reason why there was a promotion review was to determine what kind of contribution each adventurer had made to society. Under normal circumstances, the benchmark was based on past rewards, accumulated contributions, and most importantly, personality. This was because the so-called adventurers were at most a group of unemployed people with combat skills. Compared to their strength, their personality was also valued by the guild. Therefore, outstanding adventurers generally had a high reputation. The 'Certificate' was the Church's guarantee for their contribution and character.
Gongyou, Hilo, and Luana did not have much public credibility, and their strength was not highly regarded by the guild. However, everything was different after the certificate was submitted. According to the description of the certificate, the three of them had defeated a monster like the Two-headed Ogre, which even high-level adventurers had to fight hard. Its challenge level was comparable to a dozen knights. This was proof of their strength. In the end, the certificate praised the three of them for their moral character, which was proof of their character.
That was why Catelia was so helpless. If she didn't allow the three of them to level up, it would mean that she was against the Church's guarantee. But if she allowed the three of them to level up...
After returning to the counter, Catelia quickly rummaged through a stack of important documents written on standard printed paper on the desk next to her. These documents seemed to be the resumes of adventurers, including names, races, genders, skills, etc., as well as the details of past commissions.
A moment later, Catelia pulled out three resumes and laid them on the table side by side. They were the Adventurer files of Gongyou, Hilo, and Luanna. Luanna was the one who had registered the longest, but only thirteen days ago. Hilo was registered seven days ago, and Gongyou was registered five days ago. Judging from the time, the three of them were new Adventurers who had registered less than half a month ago. He was actually going to upgrade his reputation level for the second time.
.
In the reception room on the second floor, there were luxurious benches covered with red copper cloth, desks that were wiped so clean that their faces could be seen, and thick carpets with long fur. The surrounding walls were decorated with various spoils of war left behind by adventurers in the past. They were all relatively unique decorations that were purchased by the guild, such as monster skulls or teeth on the shelves, demon beast heads and old weapons hanging all over the wall.
There was only one person sitting on the luxurious bench. Across the desk were two guild employees and a special high-level adventurer. One of them was the counter lady, Catelia. The other was a slender woman in the guild uniform. At the same time, she had a supreme holy talisman made of a scale and a sword hanging on her chest. The last person was a bronze adventurer who was responsible for temporary security.
"Catelia, who is this?" Gong You asked curiously. He was not worried about this promotion review.
"She is the priest of the Supreme God of Law and Justice. She is also the supervisor hired by the guild. Today, she will be in charge of your personality review.”Catelia said with a calm expression, giving off a sense of businesslike.
"Hello, adventurer, I am Elpis.”Overseer Elpis also introduced herself calmly. She didn't reveal any unnecessary emotions in this situation.
He had heard from other adventurers that the priests of the High God basically had the miracle of seeing through lies. It seemed that he could not rely on fooling the two people on the other side to pass the promotion examination. He somewhat understood why Cataria was troubled just now. This feeling of being helpless was really not good.
"May I ask if you really defeated the Twin-headed Ogre yesterday?”Supervisor Elpis picked up the resume in front of him and read it calmly as if it was a script.
"Yes."
"Just the three of you?”
"Yes."
"How did you defeat the Ogres?"
" This is private. I can't comment."
……
"Have you cheated or deceived others of their property?”
"No, I haven't." (The house and spellbook were all bought through proper trade.)
"Did you steal or rob other people's property?”
"No, I haven't." (In this world, beizhebo is legal.)
"Did you coerce the opposite sex or deliberately hurt others?”
"No, I haven't."
"Have you killed your own kind or wantonly killed other innocent and harmless creatures?”
"No, I haven't." (Self-defense, protection, counterattack, revenge, hunger, etc. are not considered wanton killing.)
"Have you done anything that violates the laws of the kingdom or the laws of the feudal lord?”
"No, I haven't."
……
"May I ask what contributions you have made to society?”
"Law-abiding."
"Which god do you believe in?"
" This is private. I can't comment."
"Have you ever believed in the Chaos Gods?”
"No, I haven't."
"Alright, I've finished asking my questions. Thank you for your cooperation.”Supervisor Elpis glanced at Catelia after she finished speaking. When she saw that Catelia did not object, she directly announced that the promotion review was over." Please wait outside for the review results."”
Gong You nodded slightly and left without saying anything. After he went out and closed the door, the three people inside began to talk.
"I didn't get anything out of him."
"There are some things that he doesn't want to say, and we can't force him.”
"Did he lie in his answer just now?”
"Other than some questions that were not answered directly, the rest of the questions were not lied.”
"This is too unbelievable. He didn't lie? What about the results of the investigation?”
"This is for you to decide."
"…You passed the upgrade? And he even scored full marks on his personality evaluation?"
"That's the only way. If he really is a Great Mage, it wouldn't be strange if he could kill a high-level Ogre.”
" Then let's confirm the investigation. Let's see if we can…"
From the beginning to the end, the bronze adventurer in charge of temporary security did not say a word. Moreover, because he had signed a confidentiality agreement, he did not dare to reveal the contents of the conversation to the outside world.
After waiting in the corridor for a while, Hilo and Luana took turns to go in and complete the examination. Catelia and Elpis then came out and informed the three of them that they had passed the examination. After the three of them changed their steel tags in the hall on the first floor, they officially became Tier 8 Adventurers. Finally, they left the Adventurers 'Guild together.
"Gongyou, I'm sorry. I might have messed up.”As soon as he left the guild, Luana immediately apologized to Gong You, making him feel a little at a loss.
"What happened?" He needed to find out what had happened from Luana first.
"The fact that we all have magical weapons should have been exposed.”Luana replied with a frown. She felt a little sad and guilty.
"Were you tricked?" He guessed that Luana was only 16 years old and lacked experience. It was normal for the priest who could see through lies and miracles to find a breakthrough from her. As for Hilo, she was a priest of the Church of Earth Mother, so the priest probably wouldn't dare to ask too much about the affairs of other churches.
"Yes." Luana nodded and kept walking with her head down. She was usually cheerful and lively, but now she was walking on her toes, which made Gongyou feel fresh.
How much do those people know?』
[Omniscient: Only limited to the fact that everyone in this party has more than one enchanted equipment.]
"Will they tell?』
[Omniscient: According to the guild rules, this information will not be leaked, but it will be leaked due to an accident after a month.]
So, I won't have to worry about being disturbed for at least a month…Gong You thought about the best solution. It wasn't scary to be found out that someone was holding a valuable item. What was scary was that someone would find out that the owner was weak at the same time. So, as long as he became stronger, he could use magic tools openly and no one would dare to provoke him.
"It's fine. They're all related to the guild anyway, so they'll keep it a secret for us.”He comforted Luana. She was like a poor little girl who had accidentally broken a vase.
Luana was still a little listless. Even Hilo's words of comfort did not have much effect on her. However, there was no need to ask for omniscience. She would be lively again by tomorrow morning at the latest. Because she had a carefree personality, she would forget all the unhappy things after a nap. Therefore, he relaxed and took the two girls to do emergency shopping.
.
It had been five days since he last visited the Adventurer's Potion Shop. However, the shopkeeper still remembered the reason. He had purchased a large number of potions in the shop last time, which left a deep impression on everyone. Therefore, he was recognized as soon as he brought the two girls into the shop. The shopkeeper thought that there was a problem with the potions he had sold and that he was here to cause trouble. After a conversation, he found out that he was here to replenish the potions, and the quantity was not small. This surprised the shopkeeper.
However, Gongyou didn't want to explain too clearly to the shop owner in case others noticed something was wrong. After chatting for a while, he went straight to pick the potions he needed. In the end, he bought 30 bottles of Energy Serum. As for the Antidote Potion, they had a lot left, so they didn't buy it. The 40 bottles of potions cost more than one gold coin (3,990 rmb). After asking the shop owner for a storage bag, the three of them immediately turned around and left.
After leaving the potion shop, Luana was still feeling guilty about being tricked, so she took the initiative to grab the bag and help hold it. Gong You felt that there was nothing wrong with letting her hold it, so he didn't object. Instead, he took the two girls to the alchemy shop next door to replenish two alchemy bombs (200 rmb) and three Molotov Cocktails (150 rmb). Because these items were not small, and they needed to reserve space for other luggage, they only kept five of each type.
The three of them finally went to the magic grocery store at the end of the alley. Originally, they wanted to buy 25 Fire Arrow Magic Scrolls to fill their pockets, but Grandma Witch said that there were only 17 Fire Arrow Magic Scrolls left in the store. After looking through all the other magic scrolls in the store, he still did not like the other low-end magic scrolls.
For example, the Inferior Fireball Magic Scroll was a joke. It had no other use other than fighting Goblins. However, he was no longer afraid of Goblins, so he only bought all the Flame Arrows in the shop. This time, he spent a total of 5 Gold and 6 Silver (15,300 RMB) to buy the Magic Scroll. Including the remaining 5 Magic Scrolls, he had a total of 22 Magic Scrolls, which was barely enough for one battle.
Fortunately, Shiloh and Luana were already used to spending a lot of money on Magic Scrolls. After all, Magic Scrolls could directly increase combat power and survivability. They were very important in adventuring, so they didn't stop him this time, saving him a lot of trouble. From this, it could be seen that humans were very adaptable.
Before leaving the magic grocery store, he asked Omniscient what he should do if he wanted more magic books. Omniscient told him that the best way was to go to the big city and buy magic books directly. Coincidentally, he was tired of staying in such a small border town, so he was very supportive of going to the big city to develop.
"Hilo, Luana, I plan to leave the border and go to the big city.”Gong You asked the two girls for their opinions, wanting to see if his companions would accept following him to a place far away from his hometown.
"I think it's great to go to the big city. I've long wanted to go to the outside world to see it.”Luana immediately agreed with Gong You's suggestion. After all, her dream was something like," The world is so big, I want to see it." Moreover, she had already gotten rid of the state of " my wallet is so small, I can't go anywhere."
"Mister Gongyou wants to go to that big city?”Hilo pondered for a moment. She did not reply directly, but asked about the destination of the trip.
"I haven't decided yet. I feel that if I go to the big city, I can get a new magic book.”He began to use his convenient identity as a Sage again." Does Hilo want to go?”
"Is this the intuition of a sage? Then I support Mr. Gong You's decision. I'll go with you.”Hilo agreed decisively. She just wanted a reason to convince herself.
"The three of us will go together." Luana corrected Hilo seriously. She was very persistent in adventuring with her companions.
"Okay, Miss Luana, the three of us will go together.”Hilo replied with a smile. At this moment, her face was filled with a happy smile. Friendship was also a contagious thing.
"What about you?" Luana stared at Gong You and asked. Although she already knew the answer, she still hoped to get a response like a child.
"Alright, let's go together." Gong You smiled and replied. He was already getting used to the three of them working together.
When choosing their destination, Hilo suggested that they go to the headquarters of the Diocesan of Mother Earth, the City of Agriculture. The other two felt that it didn't matter where they went, so they agreed directly. In order to prepare for the long journey, the three of them went to the horse market in the East District to buy horses. Under the guidance of omniscience, they chose the two strongest and inferior horses in the horse market and bought them for a price equivalent to 190,000 RMB. Then, they bought drinking water in wooden barrels and other daily necessities. The three of them were busy until the evening before they returned to the small house in the square with the horses loaded with shopping items.
Not long after he returned home, he took a small backpack and went out again. This time, he went to the Adventurers Guild to handle a special business. When he arrived at the guild, he found that Catelia was not at the counter, so he randomly found a free counter lady to handle the business.
"You guys, please help me exchange these coins for remuneration coupons.”After saying that, he put the small backpack that weighed nearly six kilograms on the counter. This was the majority of the gold coins he had left after spending crazily.
"Alright, Mr. Adventurer. Do you want to be registered or anonymous…Ah!”The lady at the counter glanced at the steel nameplate and opened her small backpack. However, when she saw that it was filled with gold coins instead of silver coins, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but make a sound. The difference between the two currencies was 60 times. She nervously closed the small backpack and said with a trembling voice," Mr. Adventurer, please follow me to the reception room on the second floor to handle the business.”
After saying that, the counter lady returned the small backpack to her hand and stood up to leave the counter. She led the way to the second floor. At this time, he also noticed that the adventurers who were drinking and bragging in the hall were all attracted by it. He immediately followed the counter lady to the second floor. There were many rooms on the second floor of the guild, and there was more than one reception room. After the two entered an empty reception room, the counter lady turned around and locked the door before sitting down on the chair.
"Mr. Adventurer, how could you reveal so many gold coins in the hall?”The lady at the counter complained to Gong You. She was really scared just now. There were hundreds of gold coins in the small backpack. Before she opened it, she thought that the small backpack was mostly silver coins.
"Ah, I didn't expect it either." Gong You answered gloomily, but he was complaining in his heart, You opened the backpack, so it's my fault?'
"Anyway, don't do this next time.”The lady at the counter instructed seriously before continuing her work." Please bring the backpack over first. I'll count the number.”
"Alright." After a casual reply, he opened the small backpack and placed it in front of the counter lady.
The lady at the counter spent more than ten minutes counting the gold coins twice before revealing a business-like smile and saying,"A total of 550 gold coins (1.65 million RMB), which can be exchanged for 33 reward coupons (each with a face value of 50,000 RMB). Or an anonymous reward voucher?"
In fact, Gong You wanted to change his name so that he wouldn't be afraid of being stolen. However, he felt that doing so would be very inconvenient for future transactions, so he ultimately chose to use the anonymous Adventurer's Guild Reward Slip.
The reward voucher was something he had heard from the middle-aged adventurer uncle when he was camping in the mine. The Adventurer's Guild also operated a savings business. Adventurers could exchange a reward voucher at the guild counter with 50,000 RMB of purchasing power. Then, they could exchange the reward voucher for money in other cities where the Adventurer's Guild existed. This saved the cost and danger of transporting a large amount of metal currency. Moreover, the guild itself did not charge a handling fee for this kind of business. In the end, it even led to the situation where adventurers directly used anonymous reward coupons to conduct transactions.
When he returned home, he counted all the money he had left. He found that he only had 556 gold coins, dozens of silver coins, and hundreds of copper coins. Since he was going on a long trip tomorrow, he had to bring all the gold coins with him. However, it was not convenient for him to travel far with a few kilograms of coins, so he could only exchange them for remuneration coupons made of magic beast skins. Of course, the copper coins were too cheap and he could just leave them at home. He could bring some silver coins with him, and the remaining 6 gold coins as pocket money (about 20,000 RMB) would be enough.
After all the procedures were completed, he took the reward voucher back to the house. On the way, he bought a few snacks for the two girls, making them so happy that they forgot to ask him where he had been. After dinner, they took a normal shower and went back to their rooms to rest. He also took advantage of the time before bed to study the lighting trick seriously. However, because he had to travel tomorrow, he did not study too late. When it was about time, he went to bed. Thinking that this was the last night he stayed in this house, Even in her dreams, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
