Chapter 33 Departure

Early the next morning, an ordinary carriage swayed away from the crowded east gate of Brilliant City and headed southeast.

These were the five people from Yaer's adventure group. Yasen rented a carriage to take them to the destination of the commission.

After a period of inspection and discussion yesterday, Yaer and the others finally decided on the commission they accepted.

[High-level crusade commission: The wine plantation of Baron Zet Tony was invaded by an unknown monster (suspected to be a silver-level monster), which has caused the death of more than ten people (the dead include a silver-level mercenary). It is required that the monster be eliminated and the planting cleared. All threats in the park, commission: 1000 gold coins, duration: one week]

As Li Si expected, new tasks also appeared in the system.

——

[Silver Level Mercenary Mission: Warcraft Crusade]

[Task requirement: Follow Yaer’s adventure group to eliminate the warcraft that caused chaos in Baron Tony]

[Task reward: 700,000 experience points and 100 gold coins]——

It is indeed a silver-level mission, and the experience points reward is really generous, enough to raise your level by three levels.

Sure enough, it was just as I thought. Joining Yaer's adventure group can receive tasks across levels. This hug is really worth it.

While thinking about it, Li Si leaned against the carriage, with dry and sunny wheat straw under his body. There were already many farmers in the fields around the road starting their busy day.

The carriage was not very fast. Although the destination plantation was not very far from Bright City, it still required more than a day of walking. In order to save energy to deal with emergencies, Yasen rented a carriage.

It's not that we can't afford to rent a more comfortable box-type carriage, but this kind of carriage is not suitable for bumpy dirt roads in the wild, and it is far less convenient and faster than the light carriage in front of us.

Ya'er and others are already used to this way of traveling, not to mention Li Si. In the early stages of previous games, long-distance travel basically relied on this light carriage. As for advanced travel methods such as teleportation arrays, they were only used in the later stages.

"By the way, the commissions for the tasks we accept are very generous. They are probably half more than ordinary silver-level commissions."

Li Si asked Yasen who was driving the carriage.

Ya'er was lying next to the carriage at this time, looking at the farmers farming not far away. She was holding a thumb-thick branch picked up from somewhere in her hand and waving it lightly in the air.

Although she is the leader of the group, she usually never cares about matters related to the adventure group, leaving all decisions to Yasen, a useful labor force.

"You know very well." Yasen nodded, waved the reins to control the direction of the pack horse, and replied:

"Because this mission is quite special. I asked the guild and found out that some mercenaries had taken it before, but none of them had completed the mission. Moreover, there was also a silver-level mercenary who was killed by that Warcraft sneak attack. So now there are very few people taking on this task, and I think the client’s commission has been increased because of this.”

"There shouldn't be more than this reason, right?" Li Si asked next.

"Yes, you also have a noble title. Although you don't have an enfeoffed territory, you should be aware of it."

Yassen paused and said: "As a noble lord, the people in the territory are loyal to the lord, and the lord must also ensure the safety of the people in the territory. This is the most basic and important responsibility of every lord."

"As a lord, Baron Zet Tony was unable to properly deal with such serious casualties in his territory. It not only seriously affected the normal operation of the plantations in his territory, but also caused heavy economic losses. More importantly, it caused the royal family to Calling into question his ability to rule his territory.”

"It doesn't matter if it's on the border of the kingdom, but his territory is only a day's journey from the royal capital of Bright Light City, which is very serious. If he can't deal with it for a long time, the noble title and territory may not be preserved."

"Sure enough!" Li Si nodded, just as he had guessed.

After all, the world of Gaia is different from his previous life. Not only humans exist on the land here, but there are also countless intelligent races, magical beasts, and wild beasts.

In order to better govern the country, the country would enfeoff land beyond the control of the royal family to others. This was also the origin of the original nobility.

People living in noble fiefdoms obeyed the lord's rule and paid taxes, all in order to obtain the lord's protection.

After all, the living environment in the wild is too harsh for ordinary people.

The existence of magical power makes all kinds of extraordinary creatures widely distributed in this world. Even within the human kingdom, there are still various kinds of extraordinary creatures and magical beasts wandering among the territory and cities. Even if the kingdom organizes troops to clear them back and forth, only the extraordinary creatures can be wiped out. The number of organisms is kept at a low level.

Even the weakest supernatural creatures, goblins, kobolds, and slimes, are fatal threats to ordinary people.

Therefore, even though living in the territorial city requires paying a lot of taxes, ordinary people still flock to it and are unwilling to leave. This may be the sense of security brought by the city walls and the lord's army.

However, humans are such a magical race. The weak cannot even defeat slimes, but the strong stand on the top of the gods and overlook all living beings.

Li Si sighed, this is probably the reason why humans now occupy most of the elite lands in the world of Gaia. After all, the human gods occupy the most seats among the pantheons of gods.

As the carriage gradually moved forward, both sides of the road gradually became desolate, with no people in sight and overgrown vegetation.

Li Si and others also increased their vigilance. The most taboo thing in the wild is to be careless and relax your vigilance. Even if you are a golden warrior, how do you know that an ancient red dragon will not pop out of the roadside and send you to see the Lord of the Dawn?

This probability is not high, but it is definitely not zero!

Old mercenaries who have survived several adventures in the wild remember this.

Just when Li Si was doing two things, guarding the surroundings and simulating spell models in his mind, in the bushes beside the road ahead~

"Yeah~"

Two short creatures suddenly rushed out and shouted at Li Si and his carriage.

Yassen stopped the carriage without panicking at all. He had already recognized what was in front of him?

"Li Si, this is your first time out of the city to participate in a mission. Do you know this person?"

Of course Li Si knew them and was quite familiar with them. He could tell at a glance that these two were not human beings.

Phew~, this is actually one of the easiest extraordinary creatures to encounter in the wild - the kobold.

Kobolds are short in stature. The average kobold is only about two feet tall. The skin of kobolds is scaly and ranges in color from dark brown to black. It has two small light-colored horns, bright eyes, and a straight tail like a rat.

Kobolds are timid and cunning, good at hiding and sneak attacks, and have a tendency to abuse other creatures. They are afraid of bright light and generally live in dark areas, such as underground or in leafy forests.

It is said that kobolds have a trace of dragon blood, which may be the reason why dragon warlocks appear among kobolds.

Even though Li Si has seen monsters like kobolds countless times, looking left and right, he doesn't even think of such an ugly creature. How can a giant dragon be attracted to it?

Maybe the dragons really have the so-called eyes for discovering beauty.

Looking at the two kobolds jumping towards the carriage in front of him, Yasen said to Li Si:

"Since you recognize them, why don't you give these two a try?"

Please pursue reading, bosses, this is very important for children.
