Volume 16, Chapter 128: The Sky-High Asking Price

Chapter 128: A sky-high asking price

"The reason is simple. We have a mission that is blocked by that thing. If we can't get through, we can't complete the mission."

I nodded: "I can take you with me, but I won't take care of your safety. Of course, I will take care of things that are in the way, but you have to be responsible for your own safety. I am not a nanny."

"Of course that's no problem."

"What else do you want?"

"Second. Are you going to provide each of us with a top-notch piece of equipment?"

I frowned. "The best equipment? What do you think is the best equipment?"

After hearing my answer, the guys immediately discussed it excitedly, and then the captain said excitedly: "I need a sword. It's best to be a divine weapon, and..."

"What else do you want?" I couldn't help interrupting them. "Artifact? Thanks for your words. I don't think we need to talk anymore!" I said and stood up. I'm not trying to scare them. It only takes a little time and a little money to investigate such little people's affairs. Especially since I know this is a mission, I just need to check what missions they have completed recently. , this is not a trouble at all for me, it’s just that the time is slower.

Seeing that I really stood up and planned to leave, those guys started to get anxious. The female elf archer in the team immediately ran up and grabbed me. "President Ziri, please don't leave yet. I think our boss is probably a little dizzy. We don't need such good things. It's enough for each of us to have a piece of equipment with good attributes." Seeing that I brought Turning back with questioning eyes, she immediately continued: "Don't be too exaggerated. It only needs more than twice the attributes of the equipment we are using now."

"Is it an exaggeration to call it more than twice as much?"

"Eh... how about one and a half times? As long as one of the attributes is more than twice as high, the other attributes must be at least one and a half times as long as it's enough."

"Show me your bow." The female archer immediately handed her bow over excitedly. I took it and looked at my subordinate's sex before handing it back. "The equipment is all collected, not produced by us, so the attributes cannot be accurately controlled. I can only ensure that I equip weapons with attributes that are one and a half times or more as much as possible, but I really can't find any. You can’t blame me.”

"Of course. You are a big shot, you won't bully ordinary people like us, right?" This woman can talk much better than their captain.

I nodded. "Give me the corresponding items of the equipment you want me to find. I will look at my subordinates' nature and help you find them."

As soon as I agreed, those people immediately handed over their weapons. Only a tall warrior in the team handed over a shield. Obviously everyone wanted to change their weapons. After all, personal equipment often has the greatest practical effect. It's a weapon. I looked at their stuff one by one, and it can be said that they are basically very ordinary stuff. I don’t even need to go back to the guild, and I might be able to find suitable equipment in Fenglong Space.

"I will give you the equipment after the final deal is completed. Now tell me your other requirements."

"There is one last request. We hope to get a high-level magic pet egg, preferably one above level 700."

I thought for a moment, then nodded. Although the magic pet egg is relatively precious, level 700 is not an exaggeration, and it is nothing compared to the value of the commandment stone. "make a deal."

These guys were pretty smart and didn't ask me for money directly. Once their magic pets and equipment are used by them, money is the easiest thing to get.

After reaching an agreement, I borrowed a relatively large warehouse from the staff here and dug out all the items in Fenglong Space. Then I opened the Earth Gate and let the Qilin Warriors come out to help find suitable equipment. When I fight, Fenglong will help me collect the dropped items. As a very busy person, I don't have the habit of sorting out items, so over time, there will be a lot of 'chaos' in my Fenglong space. The bad equipment and all kinds of strange items suddenly poured out, startling all of them.

"This, this, this...how many things are there?" The captain's eyes widened when he saw such a pile of things.

I ignored him, but told the Qilin Warrior: "Hurry and help me find if there is any similar equipment with attributes that are 1.5 to 2 times higher than these pieces of equipment." After that, I put those pieces of equipment together. The attributes of the equipment were reported, and the Qilin Warrior immediately began to help look through the equipment. First, stuff all the wrong things back into the Fenglong space, leaving only the varieties they need, and then start looking at the attributes one by one. Work will naturally go faster when there are more people. In less than a minute, the Qilin warrior pulled out a big sword, which was a better replacement for the captain's sword, and its attributes were twice as many as his original one. And it also has an extra auxiliary attribute to make him jump for fun. Others became anxious when they saw that the captain had equipment, but soon they got everything they needed. Of course, the most exciting thing was the warrior who wanted to change his shield. I rummaged through my equipment pile and found three shields. One of them had worse attributes than his, and the other two were only better than artifacts. The other piece of lower-level Holy Spirit equipment has more than seven times the defensive power of his shield, and it also has a bunch more attributes. Although I feel like I'm a bit of a loser to him, I'm too lazy to go back to the guild to look for him. It's not worth wasting that time, so I might as well give him an advantage.

"The equipment has been given to you. I will give it to you when the magic pet egg comes back after the mission is completed. Now I will store it in the system guarantee. Can you take me with you now?"

"Of course." These people were very efficient in getting things. They originally planned to leave the city before they came, so now they are fully equipped and can set off directly without any supplies.

After leaving the auction house, I followed them to the outside of the city. I summoned Ye Ying and rode up. When I turned around, I found that they were all staring at me blankly. "What are you still doing standing here?"

"That..." The female archer pointed at me and moved her finger up and down, her meaning obvious.

I asked curiously: "Isn't it faster to ride a horse?"

"Is this a horse?"

"This is Nightshade, my familiar. He is a nightmare."

The captain stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you, but we don't have any mounts! Even if you ride a mount, we can't keep up!"

Snap, with a snap of the fingers, six Ring Knights suddenly appeared behind them, and two of them dragged them onto their mounts. Except for Scot, each of the Ring Knights has two mounts, one of which is the heroic war horse they were originally equipped with. This kind of horse is an undead creature, but because it is a heroic spirit, it has no repulsive effect on light spells. It has almost unlimited endurance and terrifying speed. Apart from having no attack power, it is basically a super mount. Another mount of the Ring Knight is the Armored Dragon, which is a combat mount that looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex. Of course, there are still some differences in appearance between these guys and Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the difference is not much. Compared with heroic war horses, the endurance of these guys is much worse, but these guys are large enough and have amazing brute strength. In short-term battlefield assaults, they have a speed and assault capability that far exceeds that of war horses. After all, this guy weighs more than ten tons. The weight is there, no matter how fast the war horse is, how can it hit such a big guy? Now the Ring Knights are riding this kind of heavy armored dragon. With their wide backs, they can carry two more people without any feeling of crowding. If it weren't for the fact that the middle and rear section of the armored dragon's back was too sloping for riding, it would be absolutely fine even for ten people.

Of course, the speed will be different if you have a mount. Although the Armored Dragon is not a speed mount, it is still seven or eight meters tall. It can reach three to four meters with one step. Even at a trot, it can reach a speed of forty or fifty kilometers. , if we let go of running at ten speeds, we can even exceed 100 kilometers. However, now we are running long distances and cannot sprint at full speed. We can only run at a speed of 60 kilometers. These people had obviously never ridden on a large creature before, and now they were all shouting excitedly while riding an armored dragon, while pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged. It would be foolish not to dodge when such a big guy rushes towards you.

Under the guidance of these guys, we quickly arrived near a large forest, and then they had to give up riding the armored dragon and switched to riding the pioneer. Originally, the Pioneers were not suitable as mounts, but now there is really no other way, because this forest is a swamp forest, and the ground is full of mud. The armored dragon can sink more than two meters deep with one kick, and it will be difficult to get out again. It took a lot of effort, let alone running, it was difficult to even walk. Although the Trailblazer has no legs, it can move very quickly in the soft mud, and the Trailblazer's back is relatively flat, so at least there won't be any problems riding on it. But they were the only ones riding the Trailblazer, and I continued to move forward on the Night Shadow in their envious eyes. Ye Ying can fly. Even on flat ground, he will not really step on the ground. Instead, he will float on the ground at a height that is too low to be seen. Therefore, the carrying capacity of the ground is not important to Ye Ying at all.

This forest is not very dense, and the sunshine is very bright, but the ground condition is too bad, and the humidity is very high. The nearby trees are all covered with moss, and there are various fungi and plants everywhere on the ground. On the contrary, it is the grass. A very common species is completely extinct here. As we went deeper, the forest began to become denser and denser, the air humidity also increased in a straight line, and signs of fog gradually began to appear.

"Why does it look like a tropical rainforest here?" I couldn't help but ask.

"We don't know the reason for this, but it may be related to the mission we want to complete."

Since it's their mission, I can't continue to ask. Anyway, I just want the Stone of Commandment. But speaking of it, this place is really getting hotter and hotter. The ambient temperature was relatively cool just now, but after walking for more than ten minutes, it started to get hot and stuffy. Moreover, due to the high humidity, I felt very uncomfortable, but I There is a solution, just put a helmet on and completely seal the armor and that's it. The Magic Dragon Suit is fully sealed. Even if it is dropped into magma, it can be held for a short time. This temperature will not affect me at all.
