Chapter 96: new loka town
A few days later, the traversers arrived at the town of Lorca.
Of course, it's New Lorca, not Old Lorca.
When the captain of the city defense army at the gate of the town, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing knight armor and pretending to be a mature look, asked them about their coming, they did not hide their intentions, and told others clearly that it was Lai Lao Treasure hunt at the ruins of the town of Lorca.
This matter cannot be concealed from others, and since it cannot be concealed, then it is simply not concealed.
Anyway, when they ran to the ruins of Old Loka Town to search, they would still be seen. It is better to say it clearly than to sneakily attract attention.
"Go hunting for treasures at the ruins of Old Loka Town?" The young man who led a small group of men who were at least twice his age guarding the city gate was stunned and asked suspiciously, "It's almost fifty years, and there are still others in Old Loka Town. treasure?"
These words made everyone froze and looked at each other in dismay.
Could it be... that someone really went to Old Loca Town to hunt for treasure? Is there really a baby there?
The teenager misunderstood their expressions, but smiled and comforted them: "Don't be sad, adventurers are away from home, it is a blessing to be safe. As for making money, as long as people are there, money will always be earned... I think You seem to have some skills, are you interested in helping us sweep the nearby Goblin tribe?"
"Goblin tribe? It's almost winter, how dare they stay near the town?" Wusian asked suspiciously.
Winter is the season of slack farming, and it is also the season for the lords of all parties to train their troops. Usually at this time, everyone will bring their own troops to sweep around the town, destroying all the ghosts and ghosts that can be encountered. On the one hand, it can train soldiers, and on the other hand, it can also generate income-except for the poor ghosts such as goblins, which are really poor, most monsters can provide some rare and precious resources, which are not without a small supplement to the financial income of the territory.
This kind of winter training is called winter hunting, and it has long been a practice. Except for those idiots who really have no brains, all monsters with a little memory know that once it is late autumn, they must quickly stay away from human towns, and the farther they are, the safer they are.
Of course, if one's own strength is strong enough that no human army dares to provoke it, then one can not move at all, or even run to the side of the town - it has happened in history that a giant dragon wakes up in winter, Wanting to eat human food, I ended up going to town and blackmailing a few whole roasted cows.
However, goblins definitely don't have this ability, they are almost the lowest thing in the food chain of monsters. One-on-one, even ordinary farmers can kill them. Even in groups, facing a human army, they are vulnerable.
Therefore, once it is late autumn, weak monsters such as goblins will definitely migrate to places far away from human towns. This situation happened more than once in the original game, and the official once did a promotional CG, how did it come to reality, but it did not follow common sense?
When the young man saw that he was puzzled, he explained it. It turned out that there were several extremely powerful monsters in the nearby mountains. According to the adventurers, they even saw the footprints of the dragon. Earthling dragons are big eaters and greedy, and they like to attack creatures in groups. They have a certain intelligence and know that attacking human towns will attract a large number of masters to encircle and suppress them, but if the target is changed to goblins or the like, they are not worried at all.
As far as the food chain is concerned, monsters like them are natural enemies like goblins. So even in the face of the danger of winter hunting, the goblin tribes around New Roca Town did not migrate far enough from the town.
"Then why don't you use them as training targets?" Zhen Cannian asked curiously.
The teenager smiled awkwardly, turned his head, and did not explain.
Zhen Cannian immediately understood that he had asked a silly question - goblins are afraid of dragons, why aren't humans afraid? There are not many powerful masters in Xinluoka Town. A few knights and a group of soldiers may be able to kill the dragon, but how many lives will it take?
Obviously, the winter hunt in New Loka Town cannot be done until the Earthling Dragon is killed or left.
In general, this task is quite good, the risk is not too big, and the reward should be reasonable.
The most important thing is that while doing this task, you can rake grass and fight rabbits, and do another business by the way.
"This little brother, can you talk in Luoka Town?" Wu Mian was about to end the conversation when he suddenly heard Panda's private chat, and immediately changed the subject and asked.
The young man hesitated for a moment and replied, "I am the heir of the Loka family, but...it will take about twenty years to truly inherit the family..."
Wu Mian smiled: "Then you can talk. I want to ask, is there a reward for exterminating goblins, is there any way to exterminate the dragons?"
The boy was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
Earth-bound dragons are not easy to deal with. This kind of monster has a huge body and has amazing strength and vitality. Although there are no scales on its body, its tough and thick skin is stronger than the defense of two layers of leather armor. In the face of such an opponent, ordinary adventurers are simply vulnerable, and it must be the kind of heroic team that is truly composed of strong people, and they can fight it.
The young man looked at the group of adventurers. They all looked crooked, and few of them were human-like. Although many people are very burly, some of them are burly to the point of being like monsters - no, they are monsters at all - but with such a team, can they be able to deal with the dragons?
He doesn't believe it.
"Of course it's easy to talk about remuneration. If you really can slay Dixinglong, we won't dare to repay our debt... Playing with the brave who can slay Dixinglong? That's more dangerous than provoking Dixinglong!" The boy thought for a while and said, "But... I still want to persuade you, the ground dragons are really not easy to deal with. More importantly, we don't know whether the ground dragons deep in the forest are one or a pair? Maybe even a nest... ...I admit that you are very strong, and maybe you can really kill them. But how many people will die? Although going out and taking risks is risky money, but the risk is so big, it is not worth it..."
He still wanted to chat a little bit, but Zhen Cannian interrupted directly: "We understand what you mean, and now we want to go to the town to repair it, okay?"
"Of course no problem, please come in!"
The group entered the town, looked at the neat and stable appearance in the town, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
[Panda: Although the origin of the territory is not legitimate, the Loka family really manages the territory very well! 】
[WuMian: Their tutoring is also good, which is worthy of recognition. 】

He led a volunteer army to launch several effective harassment in the rear of the empire, and made great contributions to the resistance of Count Tarahan to the imperial army. In the end, because he was outnumbered, he died in the imperial army. During the encirclement and suppression, a posthumous son, Finn, was left behind, that is, the famous "Lorca's Spear Knight" in the later plot.
