"Shit-shit!"

Justin brandished his sword and rushed at Don in a fit of rage, trying to take him down as soon as possible, and then threatening the men to stop.

At this time, Vanilla made a crisp cut, directly slashed Justin's long sword, and pinched his neck with a backhand.

"W-What's going on—"

Before Justin could come to his senses, Vanilla fell hard and he was planted in the ground.

Looking at the bewildered Justin, Vanilla pouted: "What a weak warrior......"

Don squatted down in front of Justin with a happy face and said, "Then Mr. **, we can talk about compensation now." ”

"W-What compensation?"

In a panic, Justin wasn't even in the mood to think about why this man called himself "Mr. Jay".

Fiona said expressionlessly, "Of course, it is the compensation for stealing the lord's property and selling it to others without authorization, causing the lord's loss. ”

Fiona's string of words confused Justin's words, and he only heard one sentence in the end.

"Lord, lord!?"

"That's right, ...... Crouching in front of you is the lord of this place, the honorable Earl Donne! ”

After Fiona finished lightly, she secretly kicked Donn's ass, signaling him to pay attention to his aristocratic image.

Don looked at Justin as if he was looking at a fat sheep to be slaughtered: "Since you are a member of the famous Great Guild, you must be able to take out a lot of gold coins to ransom people...... Speaking of gold coins, Locke. ”

"In!"

"Let the brethren clean their bags of money, which are our property in Ellington."

Locke laughed: "No problem! I'm doing it! ”

He was born as a mercenary. A keen sense of wealth allows him not to let go of anything of value, and these unlucky guys are completely planted when they meet him.

"Wait, wait!"

Justin, who was extremely pale, hurriedly shouted. However, Locke had already left, and he shouted in a panic, "Misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! ”

"I don't think so...... Tell me, how many gold coins can your regimental commander come up with to ransom people? ”

A cold long sword was on Justin's neck, looking at the other party's playful eyes, Justin swallowed hard, and said timidly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding...... I—We're not really members of the forces of Cesar......"

"Huh?"

"I—I'm telling the truth!"

Justin's heart skipped a beat as he felt the cold blade press against the skin on his neck. Hurriedly said in one breath: "It's true! We're just a third-rate little mercenary group! This time, I heard the news of the underground world, so I came to try my luck, and after seeing the power of Cesar and they dug light crystals deep into the ground here, I had an idea. Just take the brothers disguised as members of the Power of Cesar and stay here to take a cut from those who need to dig up light crystals! ”

"Members disguised as the Power of Cesar are collecting money here?"

Tang En was dumbfounded: "You guys are crazy about money, right?" Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by the people of the power of Cesar? ”

In the mercenary profession, it is taboo to disguise yourself as another mercenary group to do bad things.

When mercenaries were just emerging, many sworn enemies liked to do this to tarnish their opponents' reputations. The result is to the end. The whole industry was stinky, and everyone was about to run out of fun, so at this time, the Mercenary Guild gathered several of the most powerful mercenary groups at the time, formulated the rules of this industry, severely punished the pretenders, and then this industry began to develop benignly.

Justin smiled dryly: "Now the main forces who come to the underground world are mercenary groups, and after hearing us say the name of the power of Cesar, no one dares to mess around." We all paid honestly, and we were forced to do nothing. So I had to take the risk of making a fortune here, and besides, the people of the power of Cesar have been down for more than ten days, and they haven't come up yet......"

"And then you lose track of time, and you don't want to leave when you're addicted to earning, and you want to make a second one, don't you?"

Justin was speechless.

Interests can always blind people's eyes and make people unable to see danger.

Looking at the gold coins that Locke and the others copied, Don patted Justin's cheek and said with a smile: "These gold coins should be a lesson for you, listen to me, go back quickly, this is not a place where you little shrimp can play." ”

"I—I know ......"

Don tugged at his neck, pulled him out of the ground, and then said with a kind face, "You should be happy, at least, you won't die in the underworld." ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Justin nodded again and again, the situation is weaker than people, what can he say?

After expelling the group of beam-jumping clowns, Don's face became serious: "The situation doesn't seem to be good. ”

"What's wrong?"

Don explained: "The average adventurer has a limited number of deep areas, so they will often return to the supply point here, bringing out resources and earning benefits at the same time, while large mercenary groups will go deep into the area, but because there are many people, the supply is also very troublesome, and after the initial exploration to a certain extent, they will also return here to obtain supplies and make the next exploration plan." ”

Speaking of this, Don's expression suddenly became grim: "However, the power of Cesar has never returned, which either means that they have encountered some danger and are trapped, or there is something huge that attracts them, leading them to continue to go deeper into the ground, and forget the importance of returning." ”

Locke came to the side at this time and added: "Cesar is a powerful and shrewd mercenary, he is very calm, and he will not be easily tempted by the interests in front of him, and even the interests that he can impress are probably extraordinary." ”

"The underground world has a lot of deposition of elements, rich in magical mineral resources, and rich in magical plants, so I won't be surprised if they encounter any good things."

Tang En shook his head, shook off these messy thoughts, and said, "Hurry up and dig up the light crystals, we're ready to go." ”

Ten minutes later, Don and his group set off again, and it took them half an hour to follow the twisted path through the vast Crystal Cavern.

At the end of the Crystal Cave is a wall full of caves, several of which have been marked as "dead ends", proving that these caves have been explored, and several of which are marked with red danger signs, and those passages are supposed to lead to more dangerous areas.

In addition to the caves below, there are also many caves above the caves, and those are supposed to be passages where gargoyles fly.

When the group of adventurers sitting in front of those caves saw Tang En and them, their eyes lit up, and they immediately shouted, "Come and take a look, the most sophisticated exploration map to date!" Every dangerous area has been marked, and the places that everyone has explored so far have been mapped, making it a must-have for underground exploration! ”

Hearing that there was a map, Fiona's eyes lit up: "How much?" ”

She immediately thought that if she had a map, she would be able to easily delineate the scope of the lord's rights in the future—what a competent housekeeper.

The men stared at Donn's team for a moment, then exchanged a few words with each other, and then one of the scar-faced men said, "If you want to buy it, Shenghui has two hundred gold coins." ”

Fiona exclaimed, "What!? 200 gold coins for one map!? Why don't you grab it!? ”

The other person glanced at Depp's shiny armor and pouted: "We want to rob it, it's not like we can't beat you." ”

Donn: "......"

Fiona: "......"

Everyone: "......"

What a sincere person.

The scar-faced man who spoke at the beginning glared at his companion next to him, and then said, "Ahem, our maps are not sold by port, but by head, and we have already given you discounts." Such a precious map was drawn by countless people with their lives, and we spent a lot of money to buy information. ”

"It's not suitable to sell it cheaply, and if it's expensive, no one will want to buy it, so it's the most suitable according to the head, and you can afford to use such a good armor, just two hundred gold coins, it shouldn't be impossible to take out, right?"

Fiona hesitated, she had been in charge of Ellington's finances, and now she was becoming more and more of a miser, she didn't want to spend a copper plate on unnecessary expenses, although this map was a necessary expense, but it was too expensive.

Don threw out a money bag: "Let's have one, don't count it, there are two hundred gold coins in it, that's right." ”

"Your Lord! ...... that can bargain clearly"

Faced with Fiona's dissatisfaction, Don said with a smile: "Don't be too stingy, this money is also extra income anyway." ”

Fiona suddenly came back to her senses: yes, anyway, the money she just picked up from Justin is equivalent to getting it for nothing!

Thinking about this, Fiona's mood immediately became much more relaxed.

Although Don En said that he didn't need to point it, of course they wouldn't be really stupid enough not to do it, and after counting the number of gold coins, the scar-faced man took out a rough parchment roll and handed it to Tang En: "Sheng Hui two hundred gold coins." ”

Don opened the parchment scroll on the spot, and Fiona next to her looked at it, and suddenly almost tilted her nose in anger: "What the hell is this map!?" ”

The parchment is filled with dense numbers and all kinds of rudimentary hand-drawn signs written from top to bottom, and there are neither road maps nor references, so it is also a map!?

The corners of the scar-faced man's mouth twitched, and he deeply felt that he couldn't communicate with the layman......

Don smiled, "Fiona, that's your fault, this is really a map." ”

Fiona glared at Don angrily, "Lord Lord, how can you help them speak!?" ”

"It's really your fault." Donn smiled and pointed to the circle numbered 1 at the top of the map, and then pointed to the cave in front of him: "This is the initial location, did you find anything?" ”

Fiona took a closer look, and there was a number carved into the wall next to the entrance to the cave.

１。

After a moment's pause, Fiona came back to her senses and looked at the dense parchment again, stunned.

"This is really a map ......" (to be continued.) )
