After watching Charles leave in the carriage, Flynn put away the contract in his hand, returned to the upstairs study with Du Dian's support, put the contract in the drawer, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Du Dian: "This Let’s see, we’ve got all the money for renting the passage outside the wall, how is your recent adjustment, and when do you plan to go outside the wall?”
Du Dian thought for a while and said, "Just a few days."
"Okay, you get ready. I'll go to the Holy See today and choose a passage that is closest to our family." Flynn nodded slightly, took a deep look at him, and said, "You have to think carefully, once you rent Come down, and the one hundred thousand gold coins will be gone."
Du Dian smiled lightly and said, "Why, can't you bear it?"
"Of course I can't bear it." Flynn smiled, looked him in the eyes, and said, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to bet all this money on you alone, but I hope I'm not mistaken."
"Even if you read it wrong, you have no choice." Du Dian said.
Flynn sighed and said no more.
…
…
Now that the money for renting the passage outside the wall has been settled, Du Dian has also begun to prepare his own equipment. For bows and arrows, the bows and arrows of the middle-level knights are enough. The protective armor for hunters is sold in the "Elemental Temple", and ten gold coins for junior hunters One set, a set of one hundred gold coins for intermediate hunters, all of which are basic standard armors, black like glue sticking to the body, and have a slight anti-radiation effect.
"I have a bow, I have a folding bag for storing materials, and I can buy a set of high-level hunter-style armor for 1,000 gold coins. I have a few basic equipments. The rest is the equipment for hunting monsters. Black powder can be carried. Twenty kilograms, um, relying on black powder alone is still a bit weak, the sound of the explosion is too loud, and it will attract other monsters, so it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and you have to rely on bows and arrows, um, forge two bundles of fine iron arrows."
Thinking of this, Du Dian rode to a blacksmith shop in the small town of Yard, wrote down the quantity of arrows and material requirements he needed on the order, and paid the deposit.
noon.
Flynn's carriage drove in and returned.
Du Dian smelled his smell, rushed to the lobby early, saw him get off the car, and was about to go up to ask, suddenly noticed that his face was a little ugly, he was shocked, and went up and said: "What happened, the price has increased?"
Fulin gave him a complicated look, shook his head slowly, and returned to the hall with his support, and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
Du Dian immediately helped him back to the upstairs study.
After closing the door, Flynn looked back at Du Dian, sighed, and said: "The rental price has not changed, but I found out after asking that there are a total of eighteen passages leading to the outside of the wall opened by the Holy See! The other six The consortium and the military department each hold one or two, and some leased three passages, and now only the last three passages are left and no one is renting."
Du Dian was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there were so few passages leading to the outside of the wall. He said, "Aren't there three left? Don't they want to rent it out?"
Fulin smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that they don't rent out, but that no one rents them out! These three passages are all abandoned passages. One leads to a place, and there is a lake outside. According to the Holy See of Guangming, the lake is full of evil spirits." Some of them are amphibious monsters, and they usually lie on the small open space outside the passage to bask in the sun, and they may be attacked by monsters as soon as they go out, so no one rents them."
Du Dian suddenly realized that hunters have nothing to do with underwater monsters, even if they poison the lake. The first is that the lake is too large to find such a strong toxin. The second is that monsters have mutation characteristics. Slow strangulation can easily cause monsters to mutate again, and there are some powerful and highly poisonous monsters that feed on poison and are not afraid of poison at all. Among some ordinary animals in the old days, toads, lizards, etc. were not afraid of poison, but poisonous snakes for food.
"The second passage is a wasteland. There is a high mountain outside the passage. After turning over, the outside is a plain. There are few monsters inhabiting it. Moreover, most of the monsters living on the plain are poisonous, and hunting is extremely troublesome. Therefore, there is no consortium to rent. After all One hundred thousand gold coins a year, renting such a passage would not make you any money." Fulin sighed and said, "As for the third passage, there is no one to choose. According to the Holy See, this passage was planned to be closed earlier."
"Sealed? Why?" Du Dian wondered.
Fulin smiled wryly and said: "This passage is the same as other passages. There are ruins outside, but it is said that the monsters moving inside are extremely terrifying existences of hunting level, comparable to the zero zone of other consortiums, unless it is a whole team of high-level Only hunters can gain anything if they go inside to hunt, otherwise a single high-level hunter will be in danger of perishing if he moves inside!"
"More than ten years ago, this passage was leased by the Huasheng Consortium, and they sent three high-level hunters and two intermediate hunters to hunt in it. They didn't think about it, and they came back in just a few days. The one who came back was only one of the high-level hunters. It is said that he escaped desperately and was seriously injured. Later, he served as an intermediate hunter in the Huasheng Consortium. After a few years, he transferred to the hunter school to teach No more going outside the wall.”
"This incident alarmed all consortiums at the time. Since then, no consortium has leased this passage again. The Huasheng Consortium also canceled the lease of that passage shortly after the person came back. Over the years, the Huasheng Consortium's The economy has also lagged behind a lot, from being one of the top three consortiums to now being ranked at the bottom of the list, hey!"
Speaking of these old events, Fulin also sighed and regretted.
Du Dian's face changed slightly when he heard it. The team of three advanced hunters and two intermediate hunters only escaped back to one person? The monsters outside this passage must be too scary.
"Do we have to rent the passage outside the wall? With this money to make a living, we can slowly accumulate it." Fulin looked at Du Dian, somewhat persuading.
Du Dian seemed to have not heard his words, his face was changing, his eyes rolled, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "We will rent this third passage."
Fulin was taken aback for a moment, then widened his eyes, and said, "You, what did you say?"
"Just rent the third channel!" Du Dian clenched his fists, his eyes became firmer, and he repeated again.
Only then did Flynn suspect that he had heard correctly, and couldn't help jumping a little violently, and said loudly: "Didn't you hear what I just said, do you think I'm deceiving you?!"
Du Dian made a gesture to signal him to keep his voice down so as not to be heard by the servants outside, and whispered: "This may be an opportunity. It is in front of us, and it depends on whether we dare to take it."
