Chapter 50 Heart-moving Rewards (Page 2/2)

"Only in this way can I die without regrets."

After listening to Professor Connors's story, Frank was not infected by the old scholar's personal emotions, but began to seriously analyze the difficulty of this commission.

More than 30 people were burned to death by the flames, and the Temerian soldiers who died with them were indeed likely to breed a bunch of evil spirits.

And the rotting corpses were not buried, which would also attract carrion-eating monsters.

This is probably what Professor Connors said about evil spirits and monsters.

However, now that more than 50 years have passed, the rotten corpses must have been eaten up, and those evil spirits cannot exist forever.

But no one can tell what will happen in such a long time.

Whether it will become more dangerous or the danger has been lifted is also an unknown.

But it seems that at least those extremely terrifying monsters will not appear, and the probability is still evil spirits and ordinary monsters.

Therefore, it is still necessary to go directly to the scene of the incident for a field investigation to obtain the most accurate information.

After thinking about it in his mind, Frank actually didn't want to agree.

He was not really interested in this kind of purely fighting and killing mission.

However, as a scholar in the history department and a descendant of a knight, Professor Connors was still worth winning over.

If he could use the professor's network to get to know more people with status in Niubao, it would help his career develop more rapidly.

So, after some consideration, Frank decided to go to the castle for a field investigation. If the difficulty of the mission did not exceed expectations, he would reluctantly take action.

However, brothers should settle accounts clearly.

This mission is obviously very dangerous and is definitely much more difficult than cleaning up water ghosts.

As a demon hunter who adheres to the principle of equal exchange, this is not a commission that can be dismissed with a few gold coins.

"Professor Connors, I must conduct a preliminary investigation on your commission."

"I will go to the castle in person to confirm how many monsters there are and whether I can handle them."

"As for whether to accept the mission, it depends on how much reward you give."

The old scholar has lived to such an old age and is still quite clear about the ways of the world.

Hearing Frank mention the commission fee, he immediately took out a piece of parchment from his arms, handed it to Frank, and said with emotion:

"As for the reward, Mr. Frank."

"Unfortunately, as a college professor, I didn't save much money, and my family has completely withered, leaving only me."

"So the only most valuable thing I can offer you is this deed in my hand."

Frank raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then reached out to take the deed and looked at it carefully.

After a long while, he looked up in disbelief and asked:

"Professor, are you sure you want to take this deed as a reward?"

"This should be the deed to your family's fiefdom. You are willing to take it as a reward?"

The old scholar shook his head when he heard this, then turned his gaze back to the castle on the top of the mountain, and said leisurely:

"This deed is not as precious as you think, Mr. Frank."

"A forest and a ruined castle, with neither subjects nor any minerals, nor fertile land suitable for farming. Even if you really get it, there will not be much extra income."

"I am already a dying man, and no one will inherit this deed."

"As long as you can help me fulfill my wish, then this deed will be your reward."
