Chapter 191: Monster Puzzle


"Uh? There will be cooperation in the future..." Joan scratched his head. "But I have no new stories to tell."
"Don't worry, the material I just recorded is enough to serialize for a month, as for the future..." Teacher Benny smiled weirdly, "Joan, I have a hunch, you are destined not to be an unknown person, sooner or later in you Big news."
Is this a compliment or a curse?
Joan couldn't help crying or laughing.
He didn't want to be involved in any "big news", rather he would spend his little life indifferently.
Perhaps after drinking too much ale, Joan felt bloated in the abdomen and urinated, so he got up and released his hand. Conveniently afterwards, he walked briskly through the chaotic bar, and inadvertently saw a large rectangular blackboard hanging on the opposite wall, with notices written in chalk on it, and paper directly attached to it.
Joan remembered that the bulletin board of the tavern provided bounty mission information, so he squeezed out the crowd with a little drunkenness, and looked closely at the fence.
There are hundreds of reward tasks posted on the bulletin board, most of which have expired.
Qiao An picked out the new tasks released this week, mostly looking for notices of lost or lost pets, and the bounty is also pitiful, not very interesting.
Joan looked through it from end to end, and finally confirmed that the three tasks are worth taking seriously.
The first notice is a recruitment notice.
"Large whaling ship "Star of the Sea Line" will set sail at the end of April, and there is an urgent shortage of a "Navigation Master", so it is here to recruit a lot of money..."
The commission of up to 1,000 gold Durga really moved Joan.
However, considering that the sailing period is too long, and the captain recruits a wizard who is good at navigation-specific spells such as "windmaking", "predicting the weather" and "firework", he will not have any of these spells. If you want to go, don’t be embarrassed.
The second notice is a military mission posted by the City Defense Command.
The task is to recruit mercenaries to assist the Leiden Port garrison to clear and attack the carnivorous dinosaurs on both sides of the Eifen River.
Different types of dinosaurs have different reward prices.
For example, "Dreadclaw" is a relatively small body, and you can go to the quartermaster to collect 50 gold Duga rewards for every hunt.
Joan had seen the Dreadclaw in the Algonquin Valley, and recalled the fierce fighting power of the Dreadclaw better than the tiger, leopard and jackal. Looking at the 50 gold Durga’s prize money, I felt that it was not worth the money To sell your life.
Finally, Joan's eyes fell on the third notice.
The notice publisher is the hostess of Castis Manor, Miss Martha.
The lady claimed that there were strange insects in her own manor, "brilliant in appearance and brutal in nature", "large and comparable to cattle and horses", posing a great threat to the safety of local residents and domestic animals.
Hereby reward 500 gold Durga, recruit "insecticide experts" to solve pests.
500 gold Durga!
This bounty can be said to be quite generous, so that the poor kid wouldn't be bothered. What's more, Qiao An killed the cockroaches and termites in the dormitory the day before yesterday, and there are still a lot of insecticides left. He thinks he has experience in dealing with pests.
Even if the monsters that damage the manor are much larger than the roaches and termites, a ten-fold increase in potion dose is enough.
Rarely have such a good opportunity to make big money, why not try it?
Joan wanted to be more and more excited, and happily returned to the wine table, telling Xiao Miao, A Chi and Benny his thoughts.
"Joan, this is probably more dangerous than you think. In fact, two days ago, a group of famous bounty hunters in the port area took over this commission and went to Castis Manor to eliminate the monsters. , The result was a big loss, no money was earned, and someone was injured."
Teacher Benny solemnly admonished the young mage.
"According to the description on the notice, it is very likely that the Castis Manor will be infested with earthworms, and there are more than one. No matter how much you want to earn that bounty, you should not take your own life to risk it. "
Joanne admits that Benny’s admonition is wise, but that is "500 gold coins"!
Such a large sum of money is in front of me. If I dare not even try it, what year and month will it take to pay off the heavy debt I owe?
Joan didn't speak his true thoughts face to face. When he saw the sky outside the window, it was noon, so he got up and said goodbye to Xiao Miao, A Chi and Teacher Benny.
The three knew that he had a heavy schooling and did not retain much.
Joan returned to Leiden College in a public carriage, just in time for lunch in the cafeteria.
While eating, he sorted out his thoughts by the way, and felt that he should pay attention to the advice of Teacher Benny and make full preparations before heading to the "White House Manor".
Even if the owner of the manor cannot be eliminated in the end, at least he has to protect himself, but he can't get himself injured in order to make money, or even take his own life into it, it would be too worthless.
After making up his mind, Joanne left the cafeteria and quickly climbed the stairs leading to the library.
It has been three days since enrollment, and Joan is the first to walk into the prestigious library of Leiden College.
Entering the library, he immediately smelled the special smell of old paper and sheepskin scrolls, and his mood became calm and pleasant.
The lobby on the second floor is a reading room that is open day and night. When Joan enters the door, he is stopped by an old woman wearing heavy myopia glasses. He will not let him in until he shows his student ID.
In the spacious hall, rows of long tables and chairs are lined up.
The chandelier hangs from the ceiling. When the night falls, it will ignite an indelible flame, providing sufficient lighting for students who study hard.
Joan stood at the door and swept the hall. There were almost three hundred seats. More than 70% of them were occupied. They either concentrated on reading or transcribed notes.
The reading hall, where more than two hundred people gather, is quiet like a church.
Occasional rumblings of book flipping came, and the rustling sound of the quill pen tip across the notebook interweaves into an alternative tidal sound, but it deepens the tranquility of the library and makes Joan feel awkward.
Quickly walk through the browsing room, across the wall is the library.
According to the instructions of the librarian, Joan first walked to the cabinet placed against the wall and searched the book catalog.
There are more than thirty large drawers arranged on the cabinets, and each drawer is affixed with a category label, such as literature, art, theology, medicine, geography, history, etc. One of the drawers is labeled "biological" The label is exactly what Joan was looking for.
Joan opened the drawer and found that it was filled with neatly arranged wooden signs, each of which corresponded to a book, with the title, author, and content brief on the front, and the specific location of the book in the library on the back. And mark the cost of borrowing this book.
Joan rummaged in the drawer for two minutes, found the card he needed, and gave it to the administrator.
"Volume 9 of the Monster Book of Vales..."
The administrator read the title in a low voice and told Joan expressionlessly:
"Reading time is limited to 5 hours, borrowing fee is 5 gold Duga, and every hour overdue, an additional 1 gold Duga is added."
