Chapter 10 The Triumph Hero (4300-word chapter)
At sunset, the two guards guarding the south gate stretched their waists a little bored.
After a while, when the sky is completely dark, the wallless door will be closed, but that does not mean that there is no need for a guard. In fact, the wallless door is operated on twenty-four hours a day, after all, adventurers often want to enter and exit the city at night. At that time, the guard needs to confirm his identity, send a signal to the lighthouse, and open the wallless door.
But then it will not be the job of these two people. They are working day shifts today. When it is dark, someone will come to take over their jobs. Then they can get off work and go freely.
"I'm talking to you guys, do you want to have a drink later?" Seeing that the shift change time was approaching, one of the doormen said with a smile.
"Okay, but it's your turn to invite this time, right?" Another guard said: "Last time it was Lao Han. You vomited three times before you came home. You are ready!"
"Okay! I didn't say I didn't spend money..." The doorman who proposed blushed and turned to an older person beside him and said, "Old Han, I'll treat you today. You drink openly, don't..."
Halfway through, he felt that Lao Han's expression was not right, and he looked out the door with a look of surprise. Several guards followed Lao Han's gaze and saw a huge monster tied up in a huge tree bark, led by a young man, slowly walking towards the wallless door.
"What is this?" The few people were a little confused. At this time, the young man had already arrived: "Several people, I help you open the door. This frame is too small, and I can't get in..."
"Fight... Robbery?" Several guards couldn't believe it when they looked at the huge insect monsters tied tightly...
Generally speaking, adventurers do not need to be strictly inspected when entering and leaving, just confirm that they did not bring back any dangerous things. After all, there are no other intelligent creatures on this island, and they are all in and out of the room. But this kid's so-called spoils are really suspicious! Especially when looking at the badge on his chest, it is still the hound level. Which hound level can catch such a large prey?
"This... this adventurer..." Old Han, who was still relatively steady, said: "What kind of monster are you? You are tied so strongly, and the carapace on your body is shattered so much that we can't tell..."
"I don't even know this famous?" Zhao Qiankun curled his lips: "Death Scythe, that black mission person has been hanging on the bulletin board!"
"Death Scythe?!" Several guards widened their eyes. As a star mission that has been hanging on the bulletin board, the name of Death Scythe is naturally well-known, but so far, no team has successfully attacked!
Now, this terrifying monster was brought back by a hound-level adventurer? And it's still alive? Impossible
"How is it? Is it okay?" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "You can open the door and let me in!"
"The problem is big!" Old Han shouted: "We have never seen the Death Scythe before. Who knows it is true or false? Take a step back and say that even if it is true, it will be a disaster if this thing enters the city and cannot be controlled!"
"Don't worry, I'm there!" Zhao Qiankun patted his chest and swearing, but Old Han couldn't believe it. He asked the remaining three brothers to watch the door, led a horse, rushed to the Adventurer Guild as fast as possible, and went in and found a receptionist, and said angrily, "Miss... South Gate... There is a bug monster in the south gate, claiming to be the death sickle... or alive!"
"What did you say?!" Murong Wei said in surprise. Perhaps because of Nangong Rui's care in the morning, there was no adventurer who dared to come to flirt with the new beauty. Today, Murong Wei had no business. When Lao Han rushed in, she was empty here and ran over.
Normally, an adventurer brought back the spoils that needed to be identified in the wild. The guard had his own channels to notify the guild and did not have to come here in person. But this time, the Death Scythe is a monster of super specifications. If it is true, a monster of this level is still alive. Lao Han felt that he could not waste time and he had to let the upper guild know about this matter as soon as possible!
"Do you mean the death sickle was attacked?" Murong Wei didn't believe her ears. After getting Lao Han's confirmation, she flipped through the records: "But this mission is still unclaimed..."
"I don't know what's going on, but the monster is very big and seems to have two sickles, which are very similar to the legendary death sickle!" Lao Han asked tentatively: "Maybe he was attacked directly without taking on the mission!"
After hearing what he said, Murong Wei thought of Zhao Qiankun for no reason... She did not suspect that it was the monster Zhao Qiankun attacked, and this possibility was not within her cognition! She breathed a sigh of relief for Zhao Qiankun. If the Death Scythe is really attacked, this guy who is ignorant of the sky and earth can calm down... Even if he really went to find it, the Death Scythe is no longer there, wouldn't it be no danger!
Thinking of this, a reassuring smile appeared on Murong Wei's face.
"No, now is not the time to smile foolishly!" Murong Wei shook her head, asked Lao Han to wait, and immediately turned to the stairs and reported to Nangong Rui.
At this time, Nangong Rui had just sent away all the crazy dragon-level adventurers. He was happy to destroy the armored beheading moth. At the same time, he was also worried about the mysterious earth element hand. He was in a very conflicted mood. After listening to Murong Wei's report, his mood suddenly became clear.
The three Crazy Dragon-level teams in the city were all here just now. If there were teams who fought against the Death Scythe, wouldn’t that mean that it was another team comparable to the Crazy Dragon-level?
It is now a turbulent autumn, and such a powerful adventurer appeared in the city, which made Nangong Rui feel much more at ease.
The Lord of Nangong went downstairs to meet Lao Han. After learning about the situation, he personally took his people to the south gate, intending to see the style of the adventurer who captured the death sickle alive.
When Nangong Rui stood in front of Zhao Qiankun, his face clearly stated in disbelief.
"You are not..." A few days ago, Zhao Qiankun, Xiu En and others talked to him about the iron armored beheading moth. Why has this guy become the top master in completing the black mission today?
"We're meeting again!" Zhao Qiankun read out Nangong Rui's doubts: "Does President Don't trust me very much?"
"Where is it!" But as the branch president of the Adventurers Union, Nangong Rui still maintained his due demeanor: "Oh, I didn't know Mount Tai before, but I didn't expect you to be such a powerful master. You are such a hero and a boy!"
Zhao Qiankun didn't know how to be polite: "Young man is not considered a hero, but I won't argue with him! Come on, please see how many points I can get with this spoil, whether it's enough to upgrade to the Crazy Dragon level or something."
"Don't worry about this. After we appraise, we will definitely give you a fair evaluation..." As he said that, Nangong Rui looked around and said: "Where are your teammates? Please come out and let me meet together?"
"What teammate?" Zhao Qiankun shrugged: "I'm the only one!"
"Lonely Man?" Nangong Rui was shocked and turned to look at Lao Han. Lao Han nodded and said, "He was the only one who came..."
"This... is a bit incredible..." Nangong Rui looked at Zhao Qiankun's smiling face, then looked outside the wallless gate, and the big monster tied up tightly, couldn't help swallowing.
Everyone walked out of the wall and looked at the death sickle, but they were not sure. After all, Nangong Rui had only seen the portrait. However, the appraisal team that accompanied him had seen the true body of the death sickle.
When I discovered this big monster, I was attacked when the Nangong family was exploring the land. A mage who was accompanying me came with me today.
The old mage turned around the death scythe several times, but was a little unsure: "It's very similar, and it's not disguised. 99% of the time, but it's tied too strong, and the carapace on its body is a bit shattered, which doesn't fit my impression. It's just a little bit less rigorous..."
When Zhao Qiankun heard this, he said, "That's easy, I can let it go!" He raised his hand and wanted to cast the spell, but was stopped by Nangong Rui: "No need, I believe it!" He also glared at the old scholar: "I said how many times you have been, and you have to separate occasions for pursuing rigor. He let you clean up?"
Although it was confirmed that the death sickle was real, Nangong Rui did not dare to open the door. Although this thing looked embarrassed, it still had to be completely exhausted. If you enter the city and break free, it would be a big trouble. You can only put it outside the city first and ask people to find the thickest iron chain to try to lock it. Zhao Qiankun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I can't run away! I'll transport it all the way!"
"Just be careful, just be careful..." Under Nangong Rui's instructions, the death sickle was tied up by three layers of the iron chain, and a team of guards were specially sent to guard.
Only then did Nangong Rui feel relieved and led Zhao Qiankun back to the guild to discuss the reward.
When he arrived at the door, Zhao Qiankun remembered: "I haven't received the task yet. Do you need to accept it before you can receive the reward?"
"This is normal process..." Nangong Rui smiled and said, "But I personally appraised this, so I will naturally save those cumbersome systems. Don't worry, the rewards will be given to you!"
"That's wrong!" Zhao Qiankun frowned and said, "I didn't take the task, so why can't I get the receptionist's commission?"
"This is..." Nangong Rui didn't understand. Why is Zhao Qiankun, an adventurer, concerned about the receptionist's commission?
"I promised to help others get the first place in performance, so I can't speak without trust!" Zhao Qiankun smiled, ran into the hall first, and came to Murong Wei's deserted counter.
"Why are there no achievements?" Zhao Qiankun said with a humble smile.
When Murong Wei saw that it was him, she was relieved at first, and then said unhappy: "Ping An is back? How is the mission done?" She spread her hands and said: "Where is the grasshopper legs? Take it out and I will count!"
"That's too troublesome, I'll give up!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "I'm going to take over the mission of Death Scythe!"
"You haven't given up yet..." Murong Wei shook her head with her forehead and said, "But you should give up. Let me tell you the truth. Just now, the news came that the Death Scythe has been attacked and you have no chance!"
While talking, Nangong Rui also came to the counter: "Do you know each other?"
When Murong Wei saw Nangong Rui, she immediately straightened her back and politely lowered her head to say hello.
When Zhao Qiankun saw the city lord coming, he became even more arrogant: "I said to President Nangong, the quality of the receptionist of your Adventurer Guild needs to be improved. Why should you stop the Adventurer from taking on tasks? Isn't this going to die for the business?"
"What are you talking nonsense?" Murong Wei hurriedly defended: "President, this guy is not of sufficient level, so he insists on taking on the black mission. I also think about his safety... Besides, someone has completed the mission of Death Scythe, and it is now cancelled..."
"Then you just hand over that task to him..." Nangong Rui smiled and shook his head: "We have confirmed that it is him who captured the Death Scythe alive..."
"What did you say?" Murong Wei stared at Zhao Qiankun with disbelief: "You said he caught the death scythe?!"
"You heard this sister!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and raised his neck, saying arrogantly: "You have decided to make the performance today!"
Murong Wei completed the task procedures almost in a blank state and sent Zhao Qiankun a total of 1,800 gold coins... But this merit score cannot be calculated. Generally speaking, completing high-level tasks will be higher and upgraded faster, so that powerful adventurers can reach a level commensurate with their strength as soon as possible. But generally, the higher level, there are relevant regulations on how to calculate the score. However, Zhao Qiankun is now at the hunting dog level, completing the difficult tasks of the Mad Dragon level, which is no precedent...
"The merits are not to be forgotten..." Nangong Rui smiled and said, "Xiaowei, continue to work, I will arrange the next one." As he said that, he asked Zhao Qiankun and asked him to go upstairs to discuss in detail.
Lao Zhao followed Nangong Rui upstairs, and did not forget to turn around and make a face to Murong Wei.
Xiaowei looked at Zhao Qiankun's back and felt strange.
When she arrived at the office, Nangong Rui asked Zhao Qiankun to sit down and poured tea himself: "Last time when you came, I thought I was an ordinary novice adventurer. I didn't expect that I was so arrogant that I didn't recognize the master..."
"It's not too late to recognize it now..." Zhao Qiankun took a sip of tea and said, "Why, according to the rules, how much experience should I increase and how many levels should I improve?"
"Brother Zhao was joking..." Nangong Rui smiled and said, "If you can hunt the death sickle alone, you can afford the evaluation of the Crazy Dragon. Those so-called rules are to regulate ordinary people. Of course, you cannot evaluate it according to common sense. If I say one thing, the Crazy Dragon-level badge will be sent to you tomorrow!"
"It's better to ask the leader to do things with pleasure!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "You come up with me, won't you just praise me, right?"
Nangong Rui nodded: "To be honest, Tianqiong City has encountered some trouble recently... I think you know that not long ago, the iron-armored beheading moth appeared..."
Nangong Rui told Zhao Qiankun about the process of attacking the Iron Armored Moth by several mad dragon-level teams. When he mentioned the mysterious big hand, he expressed his concern...
Old Zhao was a little amused when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would kindly help solve the insect, but became the imaginary enemy of the Lord of the Sky City: "Actually, I don't think you have to be so nervous... Since the other party has helped twice, there should be no malice..."
"Where can't let others sleep peacefully..." Nangong Rui shook his head and said, "We have to ask for trouble, but we must be careful of this mysterious earth wizard. Even the iron-armored moth at level 20 cannot withstand its attack. It was directly slapped and even the corpse was shattered..."
