Chapter 755
A caravan was advancing slowly on the muddy road in the drizzle.
The pack horses slowly pulled the goods on the two-wheeled cart, as if they had become accustomed to such weather.
The creatures that survive in the magical world have excellent physical fitness. Although draft horses are inferior horses, they are strong enough to pull goods on the road even on rainy days.
For businessmen, time is money. Many goods are seasonal and they will not waste time because of rain, lest they miss the next wave of market conditions.
"Brother, that's awesome..."
Dali, who was riding a pack horse alone, looked at Wang Yi, who was sitting in the same carriage with Shalltia and two catwoman waitresses, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up with a strange look on his face.
My goodness, in just a few days, he kidnapped the famous thorny rose in the town of Danic.
He knew that the proprietress of Shalltia possessed the strength of a formal profession. She might be slightly inferior to himself in strength, but the agility bonus of the cat-people was too high.
The ranger, assassin, and thief are all specialized, and I'm afraid they would not be their match even in my prime.
Baron Danic seemed to have taken notice of her at first, but then he suddenly gave up. Perhaps he felt the threat she posed.
But this brother that he picked up outside just kidnapped the person away. Is this a bard?
So terrifying!
Dali couldn't help but take a deep breath when he thought about it, and a hint of envy appeared on his face.
Lady Shalltia!
Beautiful, hot, capable, and rich!
Just the carriage they were riding in and the two blue-maned horses cost several hundred gold coins.
It's really enviable... and disgusting!
Even if I and my team worked hard to kill a monster, I could only get ten gold coins.
Most of the time, it was just goods worth a few gold coins, or even just a few rabbits for one's own consumption.
This escort mission would take half a month, and it would take another five days to bring the team back, which would amount to a total of twenty gold coins.
I got less than ten coins.
Although it is the rainy season now and it is not convenient to go hunting, I can only take on simple escort missions as a guarantee. But even in the peak hunting season, my average monthly income is only forty or fifty coins.
Of course, compared to the average family's total monthly income of two to three gold coins, his income as a retired knight is already quite high.
But it is still far inferior to the tavern that the proprietress Shalltia used to run.
Unfortunately, I found out too late. It seemed that the tavern had already been sold to Baroness Danik and became the property of the Baron's family.
Otherwise, if I grit my teeth, take out all my savings and borrow some from my teammates, I will have my own assets in the future and won't have to live such a bumpy life anymore.
Why… …
Wang Yi sat in the carriage prepared by Shalltia, and the quiet catwoman waitress, Qiqi, was driving a four-wheeled carriage with a carriage outside and following the caravan. When he heard what Dali said, he couldn't help but stick his head out of the window and laughed dryly.
"Brother Dali, are you also taking on an escort mission this time?"
Dali didn't care about Wang Yi's change of subject and continued with what he said.
"Yes, hunting in the rainy season is too inefficient and can be dangerous. I'll take on the next escort mission and go to Dunno City to see if there's any suitable work."
After saying that, he smiled and comforted Wang Yi
"Don't worry, I've walked this road many times. Although there are some small thieves, they are not a big problem. There is not a single knight. Even if there are evil bandits passing by, usually the value of our goods is only worth a small amount of money. Few people in a team with knights will choose to fight to the death."
Dali is a real veteran who has fought on the battlefield and is almost at the gold adventurer level. He also has rich hunting experience and is an absolute jack of all trades.
"Captain Daly, he's traveling alone. You can't ignore him just because he's with the boss lady."
Liz, the leather-armored girl who used a bow in Dali's team, also rode over on a horse with a smile on her face.
The proprietress of Shatia is her idol, and her dream is to open her own small shop.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t get it together with the captain this time. It’s a location next to the Adventurer’s Guild, which is super popular.
"Haha, look at my memory. It's mainly because Brother Wang Yi looks gentle and refined. I always feel that he is too harmless."
Dali laughed.
Anyone who dares to walk like this alone must be at least a top-level knight attendant, and his strength must be very strong.
As a lame official knight, I might not be able to defeat him.
"Harmless? Boss, how could Harmless kidnap our town's Shalltia boss lady? Do you have some misunderstanding about Harmless?"
Another burly subordinate of Dali also joined in with a joke.
His name is Steel Hammer, and he is the top follower in the team, second only to Dali in strength. The tremendous power expertise brought by his physique makes him no less powerful than the lame knight Dali in pure strength, and he is Dali's right-hand man.
However, although he was a little jealous of Wang Yi, who was a gigolo, he also knew that the other party was probably not simple. It was really terrifying that he could go out alone and deal with the proprietress of Shalltia in just a few days.
"A bard, maybe a spellcaster."
Another team member, Qiao Lin, who is less talkative, also expressed his own views.
Spellcasters are not necessarily all mages, or the requirements for mages are too high, and there are not many of them.
Even those trained in many magic schools are the same.
Many of them know the results but not the reasons, and specialize in mastering certain spell models or inscriptions.
In this world, there are far more professions that practice both magic and martial arts than mages.
I heard that there are some extreme spellcasters who would even absorb the blood of monsters into their own bodies in order to make casting spells easier, giving them an innate advantage in casting certain specific spells.
But in everyone's opinion, these are still not as good as the magician.
Even the priests in the temple who could draw on some divine power could not compete with the mages of the same level.
I heard that many mages are research-oriented talents who seldom fight or fight, but the strange thing is that it seems that these research-oriented talents can inexplicably have strong combat capabilities.
This makes it difficult for people like Dali, who are specialized in pure physics, to understand.
Anyway, I only know that the mage is very strong.
This is the consensus reached by the mages and the gods after so many years of conflict after both gods disappeared from the world.
People who have never seen a mage don't know what makes a mage so powerful. As long as they know that he is powerful...
After Wang Yi showed up and greeted them, he no longer paid any attention to the discussion of Dali's team.
Leaning on Shalltia's towering breasts, he stroked her tail while letting her use her slender fingers to give him a relaxing head massage.
Lulu next to them was also helping to massage his legs stiffly, and she seemed to be wondering why the proprietress had packed up her belongings and run away with them.
This human being is really despicable. What on earth did he use?
Sniffing the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, Wang Yi said lazily
“Shalltia, I think Lulu is very curious about why you are risking everything like this.”
Having been in the town for a few days, Wang Yi naturally knew how rare it was in this world to have a stable industry of his own and a fairly good income flow.
Just look at Dali. After he found out that he didn't find any opportunities after selling the Tia Tavern, he regretted it so much that he almost broke his thighs.
The prices in Tia's Tavern are not cheap, and ordinary people may find it difficult to afford it. But for adventurers, spending money in the tavern once or twice a month is quite normal. This place is close to the Warcraft Forest, and the daily turnover exceeds ten gold coins. After deducting various costs, the income that Shalltia can get every month may exceed one hundred.
Lulu and Kiki's income is probably close to Dali's, and the risk in the tavern itself is much smaller than going out hunting, and the work is much easier.
Hearing Wang Yi's question, Lulu, who was massaging her feet, pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
And Shatia smiled sweetly and gave Wang Yi a charming look.
"I have always trusted my intuition, and I think following you is the most important decision I have ever made in my life."
intuition……
Wang Yi was a little speechless about this answer. Is a cat's intuition so accurate?
Alas, there are too many temptations in this world. I must explore the way first, otherwise I am afraid that the players will not be able to control themselves...
