"have eaten?"
An Nuo was stunned. A level five professional must be much more powerful than him.
Even so, it was still eaten by the Slime King. You can imagine how powerful this Slime King is.
An Nuo continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"What happened next?" Old John shrugged and said, "The mercenary group that the dead warrior belonged to came to the town of Gruul. There were nine people in total. I heard that the most powerful leader was already level 10, a hunter!
They killed slimes on the grassland outside for several days and almost wiped out all the slimes.
But in the end, the existence of the Slime King was never found, and the matter ended up in nothing.
The mayor warned everyone not to go deep into the grassland because there were very powerful monsters there.
The title of Slime King also spread at that time!
Now it seems that the Slime King is indeed not dead, otherwise there wouldn't be so many slimes.
In less than two years, slimes on the grassland began to proliferate again.
Alas, it's time to discuss with the mayor about hiring a mercenary group. When I went to Valkham a few days ago, I was almost attacked by slimes along the way. "
"What does King Slime look like?"
“I don’t know!” Old John shook his head and explained, “No one has ever seen the Slime King. But at the battle site, there was a large pit with a diameter of several meters, and large areas of traces of acid corrosion.
That level of destruction is definitely not something that an ordinary slime can create!
In addition, there are weapons used by the warrior and...a broken arm holding a weapon!
The cross section of the broken arm showed obvious signs of corrosion, so we guessed that he was eaten! "
After listening to Old John's story, Anno frowned.
According to the latter, the level 5 warrior was no match for the Slime King and was directly swallowed up.
Then he is no match at all.
Whether it is the several-meter-wide pit described by Old John or from the perspective of strength, the giant slime does not fit the description.
This means that the giant slime he encountered in the morning was not the King Slime, and its level should be lower than that of the King Slime.
"So, there are far more dangerous monsters on the grassland than I thought!"
Anno's eyes suddenly lit up, and he imagined the scene of himself killing the giant slime and then summoning it to fight the Slime King.
Old John thought An Nuo was scared, and comforted him, "But don't worry too much, as long as you don't go too deep into the grassland, the probability of encountering the Slime King is not high.
In a few days, the town's caravan will go to Valkham, and the mayor should bring back mercenaries from Valkham to deal with the slimes on the grassland.
If the legendary Slime King is still in this grassland, he won’t be able to escape this time! "
"What? Go to Valkham to hire mercenaries in a few days?"
When An Nuo heard this, he became anxious.
He is still waiting to use slime to gain experience and money!
If mercenaries come, won’t it be impossible to eat shit while it’s still hot?
Without slimes on the grassland, he couldn't defeat the goblins in the forest.
I got stuck in the Novice Village!
"No!" Anno was a little anxious. He stared at Old John and asked seriously, "When will the mayor leave? How long will he stay in Valkham?"
"Why, do you want to go to Valkham to take a look?"
Old John looked as if he understood, and said, "I don't know the exact date, but it will be no more than three days. Everyone goes to Valkham to sell some agricultural and sideline products or to buy some goods. You will stay in Valkham for two days at most. If you count the two days for the round trip, it will take about four days to return."
"That means I only have one week left at most!" An Nuo walked out of the blacksmith shop.
If you can't become stronger before the mercenaries arrive - at least be able to hunt lone goblins - then it will take you longer to become stronger, and becoming a professional will be delayed!
After all, after the slimes were killed by the mercenaries, he would have nowhere to fight monsters.
"I'll get up earlier tomorrow and work harder!" An Nuo clenched his fists, feeling his increased strength, and thought to himself, "I can't just rely on summons. After the upgrade, my body has also improved greatly. As long as I concentrate enough, it will be difficult for the slime's acid to hit me."
Before, Annuo only relied on summons because he didn't want to get hurt and waste the day's gains.
But after the upgrade, Annuo could clearly feel the improvement in various qualities of his body.
With Anno's level 3 physical fitness, as long as he is not surrounded by a dozen slimes or encounters monsters like giant slimes, he is capable of escaping.
When Anno passed by the only tavern in the town, his stomach suddenly rumbled.
"Eating is the most important thing in the world!"
After a hard day on the grassland, I only had two pieces of hard and unpalatable black bread for lunch.
As a foodie, he was already starving.
After selling the slime skin, plus the remaining 16 copper coins, Annuo's wealth has increased to 2 silver coins and 25 copper coins.
In the small town of Gruul, the average person's daily food expenses are only 10 copper coins.
The money An Nuo earns in a day is enough for an ordinary person to live for more than half a month.
But for Anno, this is far from enough.
A fine steel sword in the blacksmith shop costs 15 silver coins!
After entering the Guangyue Tavern, Annuo was not stingy and ordered two meat dishes for 8 coppers, a vegetarian dish for 2 coppers, two pieces of black bread for 4 coppers, and a drink made of unknown ingredients for 1 copper.
A total of 15 coppers!
Although the cost was a bit high, Annuo didn't feel it was a pity.
If nutrition cannot keep up with the improvement of physical fitness, it will definitely lead to adverse consequences.
Annuo calculated this account very clearly.
As for accommodation, even though the cost of a day's stay at the Guangyue Tavern was only 20 copper coins, Annuo had no intention of staying there.
He didn't have much luggage, so he wasn't worried about people in the slums stealing.
Anno stuffed the five reserved slime skins into his trouser pocket and kept the money close to him. In addition, with his current strength, the people in the slums were unable to steal from him.
But there was one thing that An Nuo was more concerned about.
After Anno had eaten and drunk his fill and was about to leave, two women dressed as waitresses came down from the tavern.
One of them was tall and well-proportioned, and the knee-length skirt showed off her long legs.
She has a healthy wheat-colored skin, a ponytail, delicate facial features, and is definitely a beauty.
The other waiter looked a little frail, less than 1.6 meters tall, a head shorter than the previous one. Her black hair was spread out behind her, and her magnificent chest attracted the attention of the male diners in the pub as soon as she appeared!
Although the clothes were very simple, they could not hide the radiance of the two women at all.
The delicate woman walked with her head down, not daring to look at the eyes of the diners around her, and kept rubbing the hem of her skirt with her hands.
The tall woman with a ponytail also frowned, and was very disgusted by the aggressive looks around her.
An Nuo, who had already walked to the door, was stunned when he saw this scene.
Isn’t this the bikini woman and the girl in a dress that I met when I woke up in the church?
How did you end up working as a waiter at the Kozuki Tavern?
