Chapter 181, The City Lord and the Man in the Tomb (I will pay ten thousand rewards and more for the hall master, Xiao Shu.)
The landlady took two glasses of beer and placed them in front of the two of them.
Curiously asked: "Are you interested in this story?"
Previously, after getting to know the shop with the proprietress, I discovered that a new reward notice had been added to the notice board of the tavern.
This notice is not about suppressing bandits or cleaning up monsters somewhere.
It's an exploration bounty.
You don't have to fight, and you can even avoid all enemies along the way.
The goal is to find clues in a cemetery.
Whether it is the location or the information related to it, you can get a reward from the mercenary group.
Seeing that Fang Hao was interested in the reward, the lady boss told him a story that has been passed down, about the city lord and the man in the tomb.
But as soon as the story started, the guards rushed in and interrupted the story.
As soon as he came out, Fang Hao found the proprietress again and wanted to hear the story behind it.
"Interested." Fang Hao looked like he wanted to hear the story.
"Well, the truth of the story is actually very low. It was only written down by storytellers and spread to this day." said the proprietress.
"Well, just listen, it doesn't matter."
The proprietress threw the rag aside, sat across from the two of them, and began to talk.
The story is actually very simple. It says that there once was a young city lord who was tall and handsome and was the object of admiration for all the women in the city.
One day, a strange girl came to the city, and the two soon fell in love.
The young city lord is getting older, but the girl is still young.
One night, the girl was killed by the enemy of the city lord and died in the castle.
The city lord held a funeral for her and buried the girl with the family's most precious treasure.
"Tell me, countless gold, silver and jewels were buried with the city lord's lover in the mountains on the west side." The landlady said with tears in her eyes, "The hateful enemy broke up this couple just like that. .”
"Ahem! Let's not mention the lover's matter. Is there a map of which mountains?" Fang Hao asked immediately after taking a sip of beer.
The landlady rolled her eyes at him, "Good guy, you're not here to hear a story, you're here to inquire about the reward."
"There's no map here, but it's easy to find. If you have a map, I can point it to you."
Fang Hao opened the map from the Book of Lords and placed it in front of the landlady.
After being surprised by how realistic the map was, the landlady roughly clicked on a location on the west side of Purul City, "It's probably right here, it's easy to find."
"It's so easy to find, and it has a fixed location, so why explore?" Fang Hao asked.
The mercenary offered such a high reward and could determine the approximate location. Why not just go find it yourself?
As for the next reward?
Everyone in the city knew that these people were looking for a tomb.
"You can think of it, but those stingy mercenaries can't think of it? This is a mountainous area, and I heard that the tomb is somewhere at the bottom of the mountain. Do you think it's easy to find it?" the landlady asked angrily.
Mercenaries are a group of people who lick their blood. They are not only greedy, but also stingy.
In the tavern, there are often mercenaries who select some honest-looking drinkers and extort their drink money for various reasons.
They will even follow you secretly at night, act as a robber, and rob one or two fat sheep.
Mercenaries may seem legitimate, but they are actually people who work hard for money.
It is really difficult to take advantage of them.
"Has anyone tried it? Are there any dangers on the road?" Fang Hao asked again.
"People have been there one after another in the past two days. There were some wild animals on the way. There is no danger. It's just that everyone returned without success. They are all saying that this bounty mission was sent out to tease everyone." The boss's wife thought for a while and continued.
As long as you sit in the pub for a while at night, you will hear everyone talking about these things.
The landlady just relayed what she heard to Fang Hao.
"Well, thank you for your story. If I can find this location, I will count you a share of the bounty."
"Haha! Then I'll thank you first." The landlady laughed, obviously not taking Fang Hao's words to heart.
The tavern will not confirm the authenticity of the reward.
It’s hard to say that someone might be so full that they would issue a fake huge bounty to tease some people who depend on this industry for a living.
After more than one wave of confirmations from the team, the boss lady has basically determined that this reward is fake.
Just listen to Fang Hao's promise.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." He drank all the beer in the glass, stood up and said goodbye to a few people.
"Goodbye."
……
After leaving Purul City, the two got on the giant lizard and began to return to the territory.
The lizard ran non-stop all the way, and finally returned to the territory around two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Hearing the sound, Yier came out with two maids to greet him.
"Master, Anjia, you are back. Are you hungry? Do you need to prepare lunch?"
At this time, Yi'er and the others had already had lunch, and Fang Hao and An Jia also ate some in the pub and drank two glasses of beer.
I drank a lot of wind along the way. Not only was I not hungry, I also kept hiccupping.
"Yier, ask if any of the maids are literate in numbers or have been businessmen?"
"Oh, oh." Yi'er nodded and went to find the maids to confirm.
Fang Hao went directly to the bathroom, washed his hair briefly, and walked out.
Outside the door, the white fox maid was standing there waiting.
"What's wrong?" Fang Hao looked at the fox girl beside him.
"Master, Sister Yi'er asked me to come to you." The fox girl whispered.
"Sit down." Fang Hao said.
The fox girl didn't do anything, but stood aside cautiously.
Fang Hao continued to ask: "What is your name? Can you settle accounts?"
"Master, just call me Xiaobai. I can settle the accounts. I was responsible for all the fur sales in the Fox Village." The white fox lowered his head and said.
"Yeah."
Fang Hao answered and began to check the properties of the white fox.

(Description: The former fox people relied on their "smartness" and cunning to travel among various tribes, driving caravans and selling novel and useless garbage.)
Fang Hao continued to check the attributes of the other fox girls, and it turned out that only Xiaobai had the skills of a businessman.
Now that there are few people in the territory, and the undead heroes cannot be arranged to go to human cities, they can only let the fox girl run the purchased shop.
"I bought a shop in Purul City, which is the city of humans, and I will leave it to you to take charge of it." (End of Chapter)
