Chapter 142 Hunting the Ogre

Chapter 142 Hunting the Ogre

In the early morning of the next day, all the adventurers started to get up early, and those who got drunk in the tavern only needed to leave a few small money to sleep on the table in the tavern without comfort.

Those who are still a little sober will choose to rent a house in the guest room behind the tavern.

This is also the reason why so many guests choose this tavern. There are many small rooms in the back room of the tavern. Although they are simple, they have all the necessary equipment, allowing you to wash up in the room and then sleep. The price is very cheap.

Longzel also chose to rent a house here, which can save a lot of money, and the tavern is closer to the Adventurer's Association. After walking a few steps, you can see the gate of the Adventurer's Association building.

Since the family's decline, the territory and houses handed down by the ancestors have been wiped out, and even the title of nobility has been lost in the father's generation.

Although the old man had been brooding over this incident and died of a heart attack not long after, Longzel felt that his father was not to blame for these incidents, as no family could continue for a long time.

Compared with indulging in the glory of the past, he is more willing to work hard to start a new career with his own efforts!
Fortunately, there is also my father's friend, Uncle Kane, the former knight of the family, who has been with me all the time, so I am not alone anymore.

At dawn, Longzel and Kane walked out of the tavern and came to the gate of the Adventurer's Association.

Adventurers are a very strange profession. The scope of tasks they are responsible for is as small as finding their lost kittens and puppies for the nobles, cleaning up the dirt in the sewers and cleaning the weeds in the fields, etc., as large as remotely slaughtering flying dragons, Siege the newly revived Lich, explore unknown ruins and other events.

The lower limit of this profession is very low, and the upper limit is also very high, which also results in the overall mix of good and bad adventurers.

But those adventurers who are powerful enough to kill flying dragons are in the minority after all. Most adventurers still receive some simple tasks in the association. The general reward is not too much, but it is enough for them to make ends meet.

Although most of them can't save much money.

Since most of the time is in the process of hunting monsters and solving various strange events, adventurers generally do not have the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. They will hardly keep the money they get from completing entrusted tasks in the future, but choose to enjoy themselves in time , Spend money on your own equipment, or enjoyment.

Because there are too many uncertain factors in the tasks provided by the Adventurers Association.

Perhaps the villagers of a certain village raised all the money and issued a commission to encircle and suppress the goblin lair. Logically speaking, the difficulty of this task is not too high.

However, there may be many uncertain situations. For example, the villagers do not know the internal situation of the goblin lair, so the adventurer team who accepted the entrustment just came to the goblin lair and met the vanguard-level goblin head-on. , In the end, the entire team was seriously damaged.

These situations are not unheard of!

Therefore, adventurers are very cautious about many commissions, and spend their money as soon as possible to avoid accidental death. This life can be regarded as worthwhile and there will be no regrets.

If anyone is going to ask why not leave it to the family?

Answer: If you have a family member, you will not be an adventurer.

After entering the tower of the Adventurers Association, although it was still relatively early, the inside was already lively, and the adventurers gathered together to discuss with each other the commissions that would appear in the new day.

The early bird catches the worm, and a good entrusted task of course requires them to come to the association as soon as possible and snatch it as soon as possible.

In the association, Longzel found an empty chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the back door of the association to open.

Not long after, the back door inside the association was quickly opened, and a man came out, pasting notices and commissioned tasks on the wall next to them.

After the man left, the adventurers gathered together and stood in front of the wall to look at the new entrusted tasks that appeared on it. From time to time, some people raised their hands and shouted, "I have accepted such and such a task!", It seems that they are afraid that others will snatch it away.

After the other adventurers had almost received the entrustment, Longzel walked over unhurriedly.

Adventurers who are in a hurry to grab quests are usually newcomers. In order to grab those quests that are simple in difficulty and relatively high in rewards, they definitely need to work fast.

And he is not considered a rookie anymore, he can be a non-commissioned officer even in the army with the strength of the fifth level, so naturally he doesn't need to compete with them for missions.

Coming to the wall, the remaining task commissions above are basically more difficult tasks that cannot be completed without a certain level of strength.

After scanning the remaining mission assignments briefly, Longzel quickly selected a few pre-selected missions.

After discussing his ideas with Uncle Kane, Longzel eliminated those tasks that took longer, had longer distances, and lower rewards.

The final task decided was [Investigate and defeat the ogres that appeared in the forest northwest of the town]!
"Ogre? It's really a good task. Ordinary ogres are only three to four levels. Although their habit is to appear in groups, their attack method is very simple. We have armor protection, and they can't break through our defenses." .”

Uncle Kane nodded and analyzed.

Longzel frowned slightly, and did not agree with Uncle Kane's statement, but was a little worried.

"The strength of monsters like ogres is really not worth mentioning. I have the strength of the fifth level, and you, Uncle Kane, have the strength of the fourth level. There is really no need to worry about dealing with some ogres."

"But the most feared situation is that the ogre swallows a higher-level existence. As long as it swallows a high-level human being, the ogre can possess the strength of that person. This is the most troublesome thing!"

Uncle Kane smiled indifferently, patted Longzel's shoulder and said in relief:
"Do you think this is possible? There is no hope for a low-ranking ogre to fight a high-ranking enemy. What's more, the person who can be promoted to a high rank is not a fool. How could he stand stupidly and let the cannibal Devil devours?"

Longzel shook his head, and didn't agree with Uncle Kane's statement for a while, but still received the entrustment, came to the front desk of the association, and told the deacons of the association that he wanted to receive this task.

The difficulty of hunting ogres is not too difficult, but it is not easy either. Adventurers are also divided into levels, and those with insufficient levels cannot accept this task at all.

But for Longzel, this is not a problem, his adventurer level is already enough.

"It would be great if there is a scroll of risk prediction, at least you can judge the danger of this mission." Longzel sighed.

"Young master, you are joking. The price of that kind of scroll is not low. We even lost money for wasting it on this mission." Uncle Kane said.

The Risk Prediction Scroll is a one-time item produced by the Adventurers Association, which can predict the risks of this mission for the adventurers in advance, so that the adventurers can judge whether this mission should be carried out.

The scroll is made by a high-level alchemist. Since it involves fields related to prophecy, it is difficult to make as a whole, and it consumes a lot of materials, and the corresponding price is also very expensive.

Unless it is a top-level entrusted task such as hunting dragons, otherwise, no adventurer will use this scroll at all.

After chatting for a few words, Longzel and Kane went out together and went to the mission location to perform the mission.
