At noon today, the bold dwarf invites everyone who has just formed an adventure team to drink in the tavern in Wildfire Town. In order to show his enthusiasm, he spent a whole gold coin for the treat!
The dwarf warrior Oscar, the dwarf mage Jiebao, the elf druid Rurick, and the human paladin Allinger, a total of four people were sitting around a table at the moment, and the food and wine hadn't been served yet. There was no one at the table they were at. Obviously, this was a tavern serving adventurers, and at noon, most of the adventurers were still outside and hadn't returned. The elf poet Heck is not here. In the early morning of this morning, the dream weaver left alone, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
But Heck's absence didn't dampen the interest of the few remaining people in the slightest. They came to the tavern happily, ready to have a good afternoon of fun.
Oscar raised his empty ale glass high, and said boldly: "If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!"
Jiebao laughed and said, "Ha, with so much wine, it seems we can't decide the winner today! Oscar."
Oscar was stunned for a moment, quietly looked at the pocket with only 9 gold coins, and didn't dare to say anything more.
There are some notice boards hanging in the tavern. These notice boards usually have some tasks posted. It's just that at this time, there are no more tasks for them to pick up, and the top is empty.
Oscar whispered to the dwarf: "If you don't make some money, tomorrow's drink money will be worrying... Damn it, there is no mission announcement, what kind of broken town is this!"
"Hehe, the lack of notices also shows that the law and order here is good recently, at least much better than when I came here." Allinge didn't feel bad at all.
"Don't worry." Jiebao said, "Gold coins will never abandon an alchemist... ha ha ha ha!"
"Master Jiebao is really a master who is good at gold and silver!" Allinge expressed admiration for Jiebao's boasting. Apparently the young paladin was pleased with the holy symbol Jabow had enchanted on his shield earlier.
While they were chatting, a waiter came over and took everyone's food.
Oscar didn't take a second look at the food, and yelled: "Bartender! The best wine, hurry up!"
The bartender responded, quickly brought good wine, and said enthusiastically, "Here you are, dear dwarves, I hope you enjoy your drink!"
Druid Luric was not very interested in alcoholic drinks. He picked up a pork chop on the table and bent down to feed it to his animal companion, a hound named Toto.
While they were chatting and drinking, Jiebao saw a man coming from outside the tavern from the corner of his eye. You can see that he is wearing a very decent outfit, which doesn't match the surrounding environment. But it was also obvious that this gentleman would not come to drink in this kind of tavern where adventurers gathered. He glanced at the noisy crowd with contempt, walked to the notice board, pasted a notice on it, and then turned and left. Allinge has also stayed in this small town called 'Wildfire' for a while, and he can see that the man seems to be some kind of bureaucrat in the town, his official position is not high, but he usually likes to put on airs, A lot of people in town hate this guy.
After the man left, Jiebao curiously went to read the notice. Oscar, on the other hand, didn't have much interest in it, just glanced at it, and continued to persuade him indifferently: "Hurry up and drink, don't worry about others!
After Jiebao read the notice clearly, he called out: "Hey, Oscar, come here."
"What?" Hearing Jiebao's call, Oscar leaned over.
"Look, there seems to be a new mission."
Both Luric and Allinger were sitting on the table, and while eating their food, they looked curiously at the dwarf, but they didn't get up and squeeze in.
Jiebao touched his fat chin and said, "It seems to be a wanted warrant."
"Is it an official announcement?" Allinger, who was sitting still on the table, asked.
"It seems to be." Jiebao nodded.
"What kind of mission is it?" Allinger asked again.
Jiebao simply read the content of the arrest warrant: "Abu Silin, the tax official of Yuanyehuo Town, is wanted because of the collusion between the government and the businessmen to embezzle taxes in Mexico. After escaping the arrest, he fled to the dark place outside the town in fear of crime." In the jungle. If you can bring him back, you will be rewarded with 500 gold coins, regardless of life or death."
In Oscar's heart, tasks are equal to gold coins, and gold coins are equal to fine wine. He carefully looked at this prisoner who was about as good as fine wine, stroked his dirty beard and said, "It looks like it's very valuable."
"Aha, I just said, gold coins don't abandon a dwarf alchemist!"
Oscar said: "This has something to do with your bottle and can experiment! This is the time for my sword to speak!"
Compared to these two people, the paladin Allinger paid more attention to this task. He groaned softly: "Wanted warrant?" He got up and went to check it slowly. This kind of thing is the most unbearable thing for a paladin who hates evil like hatred. Judging by his appearance, he probably wanted to get involved.
Druid scratched his nose: "It sounds like he committed a big crime." He didn't seem particularly interested in this task.
Allinge was different. The paladin said angrily: "It is indeed abominable to be greedy for taxation. The money could have been used in more appropriate places."
Lurick curled his lips and said, "Then we are going to take care of this?"
The dwarf nodded, and said with a little excitement: "It's really suitable for me to catch a criminal!"
Allinge persuaded: "Give it a try, you won't be deducted if the mission fails anyway, right? Anyway, I really want to catch this greedy tax official back!"
Lurick shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's up to you." Afterwards, he bent down to tease the puppy with little interest, and ignored the matter.
Oscar has always been united with Jiebao, he said: "Let's go after dinner? But we have to look for clues first."
Jiebao agreed: "That's right, let's finish this meal quickly, and then get ready to go! I can't wait to take an adventure, that's five hundred gold coins!"
However, when they were happily discussing the arrest mission, they didn't realize that those who watched the bulletin board with them, and the previous few who hadn't received the mission like them, had been hanging around for a long time , Adventurers who are on a tight budget. However, when they saw the task, they all looked cryptic and shook their heads. No one took up the task.
