Chapter 264: newbie
"Looking for the cat?" Erwin's eyes widened, looking at the aunt who was in charge of assigning tasks in the Adventurer's Association in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"
"How can you be joking about the task?" The aunt was as strong as a cow, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and fluffy blond hair. She looked a bit like a "Golden Lion King". She squinted at her. Glancing at Erwin, he said, "You have no credit record, how can I give you the things that are life-threatening?"
"However, you can also let us destroy monsters and the like!" Erwin said.
"Just your equipment, to destroy the monsters?" The aunt shook her head, "I'm afraid it's to deliver meals to the monsters."
Erwin was furious, and just about to quarrel, the aunt said unceremoniously: "Look at you, the old is sick, the young is unreliable, and there is a little girl in the team, it is better to be honest than to be too ambitious. Save the money first, and let's settle down. There is a hotel called 'Grey Dove' in the east of the city, and the price should be quite suitable for you, as long as you can bear the boss singing with a broken gong every day."
Erwin was stunned. Although he was impatient, he was not someone who didn't know what to do. Big Mom was obviously taking care of them, of course he could hear it.
In this way, the fight will naturally fail. A group of four registered, took the task, and got a detailed introduction about the task: yesterday, the businessman Malfoy took his family out of the city to the Temple of the God of Travel in the south to visit. On the way back from the visit, their cat "Toby" "Somehow, I jumped out of the carriage and never came back.
Toby is a black-spotted male cat. He is eight years old. In terms of the age of a cat, he is about to enter old age at the end of middle age, and he has about three to five years left. However, according to an orc shaman, this cat has a weak bloodline of beasts, and may live a few years longer than the average cat. If you are lucky, it may not be possible to live to the age of twenty.
The cat was a gift that Mr. Malfoy sold to his girlfriend when he was courting his wife. The two have been married for six years and have one son and two daughters. They watched Toby grow up from a palm-sized kitten, to them, Toby was not just a pet, but their family.
So last night, Mr. Malfoy rushed to the Adventurer's Association and registered for this mission.
"The exact location where Toby got lost was by the river in the south of the city-why did the cat leave by the river? Isn't the cat afraid of water?" Ren looked at the mission introduction carefully and asked curiously.
The aunt was a little surprised, but did not expect him to be able to read and write—most of the middle and lower-level adventurers are not high-literate, and the tasks are all dictated by the staff of the association. There are very few people who can see the content of the task clearly at a glance like Ren.
"You're not the cat, how do you know what it thinks?" Erwin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, acting like a big brother, "The most important thing is that the reward for this task is three gold coins! A lot of money! Where's the money!"
The aunt looked at the task registration sheet subconsciously, and the column "task reward" read "bring Toby back healthy and safe, three gold coins; injured but alive, one gold coin; dead, two silver coins".
There is no doubt that this somewhat rash red-haired boy can read too.
She couldn't help looking at the blonde girl, if she could read, the level of this adventure team was really incredible.
But Riana didn't read the mission introduction, she just waited quietly beside her.
Panda took the pen and wrote the name of the "novice on the road team" on the task register, and this task was considered as their next task. Before this line of words, there are also several lines of words, which recorded several other adventurers or adventure teams who took up this quest, but different from them, each line of words was covered with a fingerprint, obviously those adventurers did not know. Words can only be marked with fingerprints.
After the four of them left, the aunt was still looking at their backs suspiciously. After a while, she walked up to the one-legged middle-aged man and whispered, "President, suddenly there are four people who can read and write... Could they be spies?"
The one-legged middle-aged man was drinking water when he spit out a mouthful of water: "Cough! What are you kidding me! Which spy looks so ugly? When you grow up like this, people pay attention wherever you go. How can you be a spy?"
When the aunt thinks about it, this is indeed the truth, so she can let go of her worries. But he was still puzzled and said to himself, "It's not a spy, what is that for?"
"No matter what they do, as long as they do things honestly, they are our guests." The one-legged middle-aged man said nonchalantly, "Even if they are the princes and princesses who escaped after losing the court battle, or the fugitives who killed the lord, they don't care. It's about us!"
Aunt nodded, and finally stopped talking about this.
Panda and the others left the Adventurer's Association and went straight to the south of the city. It's still early, so there's no need to rush to stay. It's better to take advantage of the sun to find the whereabouts of the cat.
There is a rather wide river in the south of Pollock City. The river flows into the sea, which just forms the intersection of sea and river transportation, bringing flourishing business opportunities. There is only one bridge on the river, which is very wide and large. The whole bridge is like a rainbow crossing the river. There is no bridge pile in sight, but an arch bridge.
In a world without magic, it is not easy to build an arch bridge, but in a world with magic, relying on magic to reinforce materials, the difficulty is much reduced. However, the cost of magic reinforcement is not low. To build such a bridge, the cost is afraid to reach five figures.
"Mo Lai Federation is really rich!" Looking at the bridge, Panda couldn't help sighing, "Just a Pollock Harbor City can build such a bridge!"
"Aren't there many bridges near Tarakhan City?" Erwin asked curiously, "I don't think this bridge is bigger than the bridge west of Tarakhan City. Why are you so surprised, Master?"
Panda shook his head: "It's different, the earl has a lot of talent under his belt, so I wouldn't be surprised to build anything. But here...hehe, let's not talk about it, it's troublesome to hear it."
Fortunately, these words were not noticed by the passers-by. They came to the river and saw a young man dressed as a Druid chanting words, as if he was chanting a spell.
Panda's magic recognition skill level is not low, and he immediately heard that he was summoning animal companions. Sure enough, after a while, the air around him was filled with white fog, and a big black-haired dog jumped out, shaking his head and wagging its tail. , licking his hand with his tongue, very affectionate.
"Kaka, smell the smell of an old cat here, and help me find where it went." Druid played with the dog for a while before giving the order.
The dog was not ambiguous. It only circled around the bridge. After a few sniffs, it found its target and yelled at the river.
The Druid stared at the wide river in stunned eyes, his mouth stunned.
That cat fell into the river? Isn't this doomed!
