Chapter 415: The Forsaken Realm of Gods (4) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update of 42w nutrient solution) [VIP]

Hector, who was placed with high hopes, had no idea what his acquaintance Leopard Woman was thinking.

He was completely shocked by the giant dragon that had just jumped out of his hand.

At the moment the fire dragon appeared, he was the person closest to the dragon. No one could see the details of the dragon more clearly than him, from the edges of each scale outlined by flames to its sharp, bright red, burning claws.

Hector followed everyone out of the Adventurer's Guild, feeling absent-minded and dazed. He subconsciously looked up at the two hooded figures in front of him.

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

Shit, I think I met a real big shot.

Even if he was born in a remote mountain village and had never been exposed to magic, he should have realized it.

This strange magician who inexplicably turned his hair purple in the tavern and wanted to drag him to save the world might be a real big shot.

No...Big guy.

While Hector was half-heartedly wondering whether he had met a giant, the exploration team members ahead had already begun the first step of preparing for the adventure -

Accept requests from the Adventurer's Guild.

"I just picked these up when I came out. These seem to be very basic commissions that don't need to be reviewed by the front desk," Yun Guang sorted out the brown papers in his hand, "I just took a look, they should be some simple errands."

"Let me see," the white moth reached out and took a few sheets, reading aloud, "Drive away the stubborn pests that eat the cabbage... Help cut dry firewood for the next season... Harvest the newly ripened wheat in the fields..."

"They all seem to be odd jobs?" Guan Hongyan asked curiously, "Aren't they adventurers?"

The mission of the Adventurer's Guild here should be to kill large monsters, or to encircle and destroy monster nests. At the very least, it should be to protect the safety of the village, right?

What the hell are these people who are exterminating insects, chopping down trees, and harvesting vegetables?

"Normal," White Moth replied, "Generally speaking, the jobs that rookie adventurers do are just running errands. Things like delivering letters, helping to harvest wheat, and notifying people of news are all normal. What you're talking about are already the jobs that high-level adventurers do."

"Ah? Then for these adventurers, aren't their commissions similar to those of college students' part-time jobs?" Lu Changfeng couldn't help but mutter.

Although it has been a long time since he graduated from university, his previous explorations were all done by joining the university part-time job groups to collect information. What is the difference between the part-time jobs in those groups and this one?

"There's no difference," Bai Mo was puzzled. "Isn't a commission just a part-time job?"

Everyone's faces were full of questions. Seeing that everyone was still confused, Old Second Dimension White Moth had to explain in detail: "It's like this, do you have a misunderstanding about the profession of adventurer? The goal of adventurers is actually similar to modern backpackers traveling around the world. Most people focus on adventure, going to places they have never been to, rather than fighting various monsters."

However, in this worldview, only people with certain combat abilities can travel far and wide, which is why the profession of adventurer is tied to the act of challenging monsters.

Bai Moth continued, "Generally speaking, except for very famous adventurers who are approached for help, most adventurers accept commissions from the guild in order to earn enough money to continue adventuring. So there are many different adventure commissions here, from the basic ones like helping to chop trees to the more advanced ones like killing monsters, but in essence, they are all for the purpose of saving enough money for the journey."

"In other words, the Adventurer's Guild is actually equivalent to a large part-time group, right?" Yun Guang understood. "Adventurers joining the guild is equivalent to entering this group chat. After entering, they can accept various commissions according to their own strength to earn travel expenses. The guild provides a platform for those who post part-time jobs and complete them. Adventurers go on adventures and accept and hand in commissions from Adventurer's Guilds all the way, just like backpackers who travel on a budget and work while traveling in modern society?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean," Bai E nodded repeatedly in affirmation, "So it's normal to have this kind of commission, just like there are all kinds of part-time jobs in the part-time job group, there may be factory assembly lines, or there may be handing out flyers on the street, or moving things at wedding banquets, etc."

However, compared to the peaceful modern world, combat-related commissions are more common in the Western fantasy world.

For the natives of these worlds, adventurers are a kind of traveling worker who has certain combat capabilities and can travel around the country. When there is a need, everyone publishes a commission, writes some relatively fair prices, and waits for adventurers who need travel expenses to accept the commission. After the completion, one party pays and the other receives the money. This is the entire commission process.

For ordinary adventurers, who are new and have no reputation, they can only earn money in this way. After taking on such errands for a period of time, adventurers with certain combat abilities will challenge some combat missions and gradually build a reputation in the adventurer circle. As their reputation grows, the commissions they can receive will become more and more advanced.

The quality of the adventurer teams is uneven, and the setting of the front desk is probably to ensure that adventurer teams with too different strengths do not take on overly dangerous tasks.

But for them, these simple commissions are unnecessary.

After all, just now... Hector released a fire dragon in the Adventurer's Guild.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yun Guang shook the orders in his hand and said, "Then let's go back and exchange for a high-level order now?"

He believed that with this trick, the Leopard Woman would definitely approve their commission.

"For now... let's not do it for now?" Bai Mo thought for a moment, "Since we have already taken out all these, let's make one and earn some money first."

"Besides, it's getting late..." She looked up at the sky. "The Adventurer's Guild is usually stationed in some relatively peaceful towns. Those quests like killing monsters are quite far from here. We still have time to stay here for one night before leaving."

That's true.

It was already close to afternoon when they entered here. Now, after gathering information, catching the unlucky adventurer Hector in the tavern, listening to a magic class by a necromancer that they couldn't understand a word of, and learning the beginner's skill of summoning fire dragons in the Adventurer's Guild, it was already getting dark after all these events.

The vendors in the surrounding markets had packed up their goods and were preparing to leave the market. A yellow kerosene lamp was lit in front of the tavern. The adventurers who had been around the Adventurer's Guild were also walking towards the tavern in twos and threes. The entire Rossburg market had gradually become quiet.

Rossburg is a small town. In addition to the market, there are also a large number of residents living here. Adventurers consciously go to the hotel to stay after the sun sets and enjoy the rare soft beds on the adventure road.

After all, most of the time, they can only spend the night in the wild.

"Dermis, what do you think?" Yun Guang looked at Bai Jinshu.

They are a team, so naturally they have to seek the opinions of the boss before making such a decision.

"Whatever," the boss' eyes flashed with blue flames, "You guys take it."

Since the big boss had no objection, the exploration team members who had never been adventurers had long forgotten the disappointment when they saw that the mission was not to kill monsters, and had already started to select these commissions with great interest.

"This one, help the farmers sow wheat," Guan Hongyan selected. "This one looks very profitable, 2,000 copper coins. When we were in the tavern before, a glass of wine only cost one copper coin."

"Sowing wheat takes a long time, and it's getting late now, so it won't be finished in a short time," Xu Zichen interrupted, "I think this would be a good help in repairing the collapsed wall."

"Building a wall is slow, too. Have you seen the walls here? They are all earthen walls, not brick walls. Do you know how to build one?" Su Hao leaned over to take a look. "I think the one I read before about chopping wood is good."

"There are pitfalls in chopping wood," Zhao Yinglai shook his head. "Although chopping wood is not difficult for us, transporting it is very difficult. Even if we are very strong, it takes several of us to hug a cut tree. In a Western fantasy world without cars, only strong adventurers can carry it."

"I remember there was a pest exterminator before..." Lu Changfeng also interrupted, "How about this? Let Delmis turn all the pests into puppets?"

"I think... not so good," White Moth shook his shoulders, glanced at Demis who looked like she would not participate in these menial labors, and nudged Hector next to him with his elbow, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Ah... me?" Hector pointed at himself.

Everyone nodded expectantly.

Hector is a native of the Western fantasy world after all, so he should have a lot of experience...

"I don't have any," Hector said weakly, his voice getting lower and lower under the expectant gazes of the crowd, "I'm not an adventurer. Generally speaking, I'm the one who issues commissions..."

This is also ha...

Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. Wouldn't the first step of the Adventurer's Path be to fail due to a lack of commissions and end up sleeping on the streets?

"Hector," Lu Changfeng lowered his voice, "Do you have any money on you? We will return it to you tomorrow when we receive the commission."

"I didn't..." Hector wanted to cry, "I just went out to get some wine..."

He was lucky to have two or three copper coins on him, right? How could he possibly have enough money to accommodate so many people?

"Or you can actually stay at my house..." He suggested weakly.

Although there are not many beds in my house, it can still accommodate so many people if we squeeze together.

Everyone looked at each other and was a little moved.

but……

Yun Guang pointed slightly at Dermis next to him.

But Dermis is obviously targeting Hector, right? Can he get Hector back home?

"Well, that, Dermis," White Moth was forced to speak under everyone's urging gaze, "We don't have any suitable commissions to take on right now, so we may have to stay at Hector's house tonight."

"Why?" The boss said calmly, "Why don't you accept any commissions? There is nothing on this continent that is stronger than me."

"Uh... because we just want to take some simple commissions nearby, and then take these combat missions tomorrow morning," Su Hao took the initiative to answer, "These simple commissions now are a bit difficult for us."

After all, most adventurers can do everything to make a living, but most exploration team members who can explore special spaces cannot sow wheat, build walls, and repel insects.

"Let me see." A white finger bone stretched out and took the orders from Yun Guang's hand. "What's so difficult about this?"

Bai Jinshu glanced at them in confusion and walked forward: "These can be done in less than a week."

The members of the exploration team who were left behind by him were stunned.

"Is it possible that Delmis doesn't quite understand what these are?" Guan Hongyan whispered, "It's impossible for him, a necromancer, to have harvested wheat and built a wall before?"

"Then you go and tell it?" Xu Zichen muttered softly.

"I won't go," Guan Hongyan refused. "What if he says something else? How do you know that my partner and I planted wheat?"

Everyone around shuddered.

Let’s not talk about it.

*

The commissions that Yun Guang picked up were just some of the simplest commissions within the Adventurer's Guild, and most of the people who issued the commissions were local residents of Rossburg.

The farmer behind the door, who had just finished dinner, had not yet had time to light the kerosene lamp when he heard two knocks on the door.

"What's the matter..." The farmer opened the door and was startled by the knocker. "You, you, who are you..."

Standing at the door was a magician who was obviously not a human.

The warlock's face was hidden under the hood, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but the exposed part of his body that was not covered by the hood could be seen, which looked like bones.

Two pale finger bones picked up a thin piece of brown paper and asked in a grim tone, "Did you send it?"

"Ah...ah?" The farmer's legs went limp. "What the hell is wrong with me..."

Is this terrible sorcerer here to seek revenge on him?

"Uncle Karl!" A familiar face came from behind the scary magician. "We are here to accept the commission and help you sow wheat!"

"You are..." Farmer Carl identified the man's face for a long time before he recognized who it was under the dim light, "Hector? Why did you dye your hair purple?"

"This... this is not important," Hector explained quickly, "This is what I mean. I'm an adventurer now, and these are my teammates. We're here to take on the commission you issued, Uncle Carl!"

"The commission I issued?" Farmer Karl finally plucked up the courage to look at the piece of paper held between the two white finger bones, "Sowing, sowing wheat..."

"Hmmmm!" Hector nodded frantically.

"Why, why are you sowing wheat at this time..." Under the gaze of the necromancer, farmer Carl's legs were shaking, and he had to grab Hector's shoulders to stand firmly. "You can come tomorrow, it's dark now."

"No, no, let's do it now," Hector supported the shaking farmer Carl, feeling as if he saw himself a few hours ago, and his heart was filled with empathy, "Uncle Carl, where are your farm tools and seeds?"

Farmer Carl's fingers trembled: "There...there."

Are these people really here to sow wheat for him?

Who would plant wheat in the middle of the night?

Farmer Carl held Hector's shoulders tightly, and waited until the group of people left with their farm tools before whispering, "Hector, tell me honestly, have you been kidnapped?"

Hector: ...I have, I have!

But just thinking about how Dermis can make people into puppets...

He closed his eyes in humiliation: "...No."

"Really? Really?" Farmer Carl trembled, "Didn't the man with the commission just now force you? Didn't you not want to take the risk?"

"Really? I really want to go on an adventure. I've wanted to go since I was a kid," Hector said with tears in his eyes. "In fact, he is my mentor and is teaching me magic."

The two looked at each other and saw "disbelief" and "please don't ask" in each other's eyes.

It’s better not to ask this question, just look at the farmland in the distance, my family…

The two looked into the distance at the same time.

The next second, their worldview suffered a huge impact!

In the distance, the sky gradually darkened. In the dim night, the other members of the adventurer team stood by in amazement, holding farm tools.

And among them, Hector's new mentor was standing at the edge of the farmland, his hands slightly raised. Around him, it seemed that something was about to break out of the ground!

Everyone held their breath, and the next second, a piece of white bone stretched out from the agitated soil.

Farmer Carl:!

Hector quickly covered his mouth, preventing his unfortunate uncle from shouting.

As this bone appeared, more bones emerged from the surrounding earth.

Only then did Hector hear the whispers of Dermis in the air spreading on the wind.

As this ambiguous language was spoken, the ground shook and cracked wherever it reached, and countless bones broke out from the ground, forming one skeleton after another.

Skeletons floated above the ground, spontaneously forming human shapes.

Someone who knows what's going on in the comments recognized it at a glance: [This is a necromancy spell! ]

【Big brother, please tell me! 】

【This... don't call me a big shot, I'm just an ordinary magician, I don't really understand these, I just saw someone use it in battle. The principle is actually very simple, it is to summon the bones underground in a special way, and then piece them together into a human form, recreating the state before death, which should be a very common magic among necromancers. Most necromancers are not well-liked because of this kind of magic, after all, no one wants to be dug up from the ground after death. 】

【I see. 】

[So the boss is a necromancer? When I saw the fire dragon before, I thought the boss was a mage in the Mage Tower who studied magic. ]

[The one above is not a simple necromancy spell. Most necromancers can only control one or two, and it is difficult to control so many. The magic power required for such a large number of corpses is an astronomical figure.]

[This is amazing and not common at all.]

[And in fact, theoretically speaking, the magic power required for the fire dragon that appeared earlier is also an astronomical figure. ]

[Hiss… That boss can create fire dragons and cast undead spells. Doesn’t that mean he has a lot of magic power? ]

[…Yeah, and he looks very relaxed now. His mana reserve is comparable to a small magic spring.]

[I think it's more than that. This might be almost equivalent to a demon vein.]

…

Investors on the barrage argued over the stock of Delmis’ magic power.

In the unknown space, these skeletons that were awakened from the ground, after staggering to their feet, walked towards the surrounding exploration team members.

"What...what are you doing!" White Moth stuttered, "Dermis, Dermis! These skeletons are coming towards us!"

She was not afraid of skeletons, but Dermis started summoning skeletons as soon as they disagreed, and the summoned skeletons came towards them again. Could it be that the magic was out of control?

Soon, she knew she was not out of control.

The skeleton stood in front of her, stretched out a hand towards her firmly, and then... grasped the farm tool in her hand.

White moth:?

Skeleton: Casting a firm look with its bony eye sockets.

White Moth: "You... come to get farm tools?"

She let go weakly, watched the skeleton take the farm tools from her hands, and then started working!

White Moth: Ah...ah this.

The surrounding exploration team members suffered the same fate.

The bones broke out from the ground, took the farm tools from everyone, and then consciously walked towards the place where farmer Carl stored the farm tools.

After all the farm tools were used up, the skeletons that came out later could only reluctantly remove some bones from their bodies and use these bones to replace farm tools.

For a moment, the entire farmland was filled with white bones, and under the dim moonlight, the bones bowed their heads and worked in unison, just like a group of hardworking workers!

Bai Jinshu, who was standing at the edge of the farmland, also lowered his raised hand and looked at the bones with a warning look: "Hurry up, I'll only give you half a week."

Skeletons:!

The skeletons began to dig the ground frantically!

Farmer Carl: "H...Hector..."

Hector: "What...what's wrong, uncle?"

"Is uncle dazzled?" Farmer Carl said sadly, "Or is uncle crazy?"

"No, uncle, you are very healthy..." Hector said weakly, "This is how our team completes the commission."

"Really?" Farmer Carl looked at the skeletons working frantically in the fields in front of him in a trance, "Then why do I seem to see my mother..."

There is a particularly familiar looking female skeleton in the farmland!

"This... this may be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Hector wiped the sweat off his face.

It’s too hellish, it’s really too hellish for my teacher.

Farmer Karl's ancestors have lived here for generations, and all his relatives are buried here. It's too hellish to dig someone's mother out of the ground to farm...

Farmer Carl murmured: "Really? I miss my mother..."

Hector and he supported each other: "I miss my mother too..."

Mom, does your son really want to go on an adventure with teammates like this and save the world?

Even more devastated than them are the investors:

[Boss! What are you doing, boss! ]

[Boss, did you summon so many undead skeletons just to hoe the land? Boss! ]

[No! Let me do the hoeing! ]

[Uhhhhhh, a necromancer beginner is quietly broken! I've been practicing for more than half a year and I can only move a few bones! ]

[What kind of land is this! I need the boss to dig it himself! ]

[Big Boss, please teach me how to summon so many skeletons, and I will help you hoe the land. 】

…

Bai Jinshu naturally could not hear the investors' cries.

Nonsense, he doesn't even care about Hector's whining!

Under the threat of the necromancer, these skeletons showed extraordinary efficiency and completed the sowing of a large area of ​​farmland in less than half an hour.

Then they jumped back into the soil very consciously and buried themselves again with great self-awareness.

Only the farmer Carl, whose worldview was shocked, and Hector, who was already sweating profusely, were left.

The mysterious necromancer walked up to farmer Carl again and stretched out a hand that was only left with bones, with the palm facing up.

Under the moonlight, each finger bone seemed to be glowing, flashing an extremely alluring glow.

"Is there anything else..." Farmer Karl trembled.

Bai Jin said: "Reward."

"I, I, I'll get it for you!" With the help of Hector, he stumbled into the house. A few minutes later, a bag full of copper coins was put in his hand. The moment the other party took the copper coins, farmer Carl quickly closed the door, as if a ghost would come to catch him if he was a step slower.

Hector, who was thrown out by him, said: “Ha…haha, Uncle Karl is still like this, he is in a hurry to rest when it’s time to go to bed.”

Uncle, I can only help you up to this point.

If the boss is not satisfied and wants to turn you into a puppet and force you to come out and say goodbye to him, then I can't do anything about it.

Fortunately, the boss showed no signs of dissatisfaction.

He threw the bag of copper coins in his hand to his teammates and continued to ask in that tone: "What is the next commission?"

White Moth: "It seems... it's building a wall..."

The tone didn't sound like he was asking what the next commission would be, but rather who we were going to kill next.

She silently unfolded the entrustment and glanced at the client, Marion Carroll.

Best wishes to you, Marion.

I hope there aren't too many of your loved ones buried around your home.

"Hurry up," Bai Jinshu had already walked to the front and said to all the teammates who had not yet reacted, "Complete these commissions before the moon rises completely."

Otherwise the hotel will be out of rooms.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

*

On this night, in the peaceful and tranquil city of Roseburg, a total of thirteen doors were knocked on by hands that were nothing but bones.

There were also thirteen ancestors who were able to see the light of day again after many years of death.

The most special ones are two lovers who are in a cold war.

In order to apologize to the girl, the man left a request in the Adventurer's Guild, hoping that someone would bring a bouquet of red roses to his sweetheart.

After opening the door, the woman saw her grandmother who had died many years ago.

*

The most memorable one was an elderly woman who wanted someone to help repair her collapsed wall.

When her late husband was helping her repair the wall, he buried one of his own shin bones in order to strengthen the connection between the wall and the house.

For this he could only limp back to his grave.

*

The most righteous of them all was the Rossburg merchant who asked others to help him move his goods.

When skeletons were uncovered near his home, a decades-old cold case in Roseburg was finally solved, with the remains of the deceased rising from the corner of the suspect's home.

The moment the commission was completed and the payment was received, the businessman's neighbor was taken away by the sheriff who had been waiting for a long time.

*

Among these thirteen commissions, a total of five people closed the door after completing the commission as if there was a ghost chasing them, without leaving any closing remarks.

There were four of them who asked the unfortunate young man Hector if he had been kidnapped after tremblingly giving his reward. Hector begged them not to say anything and swore with his purple hair that he followed his teacher willingly.

A total of three people fainted on the spot before they could be paid, so Bai Jinshu ordered the skeletons to take him into the house, find the place where the owner kept the coins, and get the reward himself.

There was one person who offered double the reward. Half of the extra money was the reward after the unsolved case was solved, and the other half was a thank-you fee from the victim's family.

*

It took a total of three star hours from accepting the commission to completing all the commissions, with an average completion time of 0.23 star hours per commission, defeating 99.99% of adventurers and becoming the fastest adventurer in Rossburg to complete commissions this year.

*

Among the thirteen commissions, when helping farmer Carl sow wheat, the client said with tears in his eyes that he missed his mother.

This must be a very touching commission from an adventurer.

*

Among the thirteen commissions, the most frequently asked sentence was "Hector, why did your hair turn purple?"

It seems that this adventurer named "Hector" must have been too busy with his thrilling adventures to take care of his newly grown hair roots.

*

Among the thirteen commissions, most of the clients chose to remain silent after paying the commission fee.

Presumably, they were also very satisfied with this commission, so they chose not to raise any questions.

*

Among the thirteen commissions, the most special one was assisting the police in solving an unsolved case from decades ago, and receiving gratitude from the victim's family.

As an adventurer, today is also a day full of positive energy.

*

The key words entrusted to you today are:

【I miss my mother. 】

[Grandma, you finally came to see me and brought me flowers. ]

[Hector, if you are kidnapped, just blink. ]

[Hey, hey, hey, why am I dizzy? Damn it, what about our rewards? 】

The author has something to say:

Client & Client’s Ancestors: What a sin…

The guy who asked his girlfriend to send flowers: Wait, the flowers are from me!
