The guards at the city gate stopped An Nuo and carefully checked his identity.
He even checked the bag of monster hunting supplies on Annuo's back - in order not to expose the storage ring, Annuo took these things out in advance.
A lot of possessions, at least hundreds of them.
This is because Annuo only took out a small part.
After all, hunting more than a thousand monsters in just over ten days is really too eye-catching.
Even so, the soldiers at the city gate were still surprised.
There was something wrong with the way they looked at An Nuo.
Is this ordinary-looking guy so powerful?
After confirming Anno's human identity and seeing the contract mark on Liz and Sasier, the soldiers let them go.
"Today, there are quite a lot of professionals returning from outside. It is said that the number of monsters outside has increased. We are also doing routine inspections to prevent monsters from transforming into human forms and sneaking into the city at this time. It is not aimed at you alone!"
After hearing the soldier's explanation, An Nuo nodded silently.
"Am I not the only one who encountered the regular Demon King's Army? Judging from the traces of the regular Demon King's Army that can be seen now, the day when the Demon King's Army troops attack Warrengel should not be far away."
An Nuo was a little uncertain.
But he was already feeling a little anxious.
He has just entered the fourth level now and has not even mastered the fourth level skills.
"Even if war breaks out, you must at least master the fourth-level summoner skills before participating!"
After making up his mind, Annuo took Liz straight to the army's exchange office.
Before leaving, he wants to exchange these things for money.
A fourth-level possession can bring a lot of rewards.
The exchange office was not in the barracks.
In order to facilitate the mercenaries and individual professionals leaving the city to exchange their bounties, an exchange office is set up more than 200 meters away from the city gate.
Having been here twice, Anno was familiar with the process.
There are quite a lot of people at the exchange office today.
Thinking about what the soldier had just said about many people returning from outside, Annuo understood.
Among the crowd, a professional recognized An Nuo.
After all, the team of Anno, Succubus and Silver Moon Blood Wolf, plus their previous performance, are still remembered by many people.
"Hey, An, long time no see, I didn't expect you to be still alive!"
A bold voice came from the side.
Upon hearing this, An Nuo turned around and saw a red-haired warrior wearing silver-white armor.
The soldier was tall and handsome, and looked to be in his twenties.
But his condition is not very good.
There was a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his head, and his armor was tattered and showed signs of damage.
He walked up to An Nuo with a big laugh and asked, “I heard that you left town half a month ago and never came back.
Everyone previously thought that you had encountered a powerful demon outside the city and died!
Hahaha……"
"How can you talk like that?" Liz frowned and said, "Believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
"Liz!" An Nuo winked at Liz, then looked at the soldier in front of him and smiled, "Lance, you just came back from outside today too?"
Lance was the person who had always wanted to invite Anno to join his mercenary group and promised to give Anno the position of deputy leader.
The level is 22.
An Nuo had contact with him twice.
Lance is a generous person who doesn't care about details and speaks carelessly.
So An Nuo didn't care about what he said before.
Moreover, on the surface, Lance is the leader of a fourth-rank mercenary group.
But Annuo saw from the information panel that Lance's last name was the same as that of the city lord, Lord Warrengel.
This inevitably makes Anno think more.
The image of a nobleman who loves passionate battles emerged in Annuo's mind.
However, this is just a guess, and Lance's identity cannot be determined based on his surname alone.
"Ah, yes!"
When Lance mentioned this, his face darkened instantly. He pointed at the wound on his head and said, "I almost couldn't come back!"
Then, Lance told Anno about his experience.
Lance's mercenary group consists of about twenty people.
I found a monster base outside this morning.
After investigation, there were dozens of third-level monsters inside.
Because Lance himself is a fourth-level fighter, and his subordinates are all third-level.
So I thought about eliminating this monster stronghold.
"We were hoping to end the battle quickly, but we happened to run into a group of demon king's soldiers passing by.
There weren't many people, only ten.
But they are all fucking level four!
Alas, I am the only one who escaped from the entire mercenary group, the others are all dead."
Anno could hear the sadness in Lance's tone.
“My condolences!”
An Nuo could only comfort her from the side.
Lance patted his cheek, exhaled heavily, and then asked: "An, have you encountered the Demon King's army?"
An Nuo nodded and said, "We encountered them. There were fifty of them, all of them were level four! But I found them in advance and hid them, so there was no fight!"
"Then you are really lucky!"
Lance thought that Annuo would not exaggerate, so he praised his luck.
Fifty fourth-level people will definitely die once they are discovered.
"By the way, after so many days, have you managed to break through?" Lance stared at He Nuo.
When Lance asked this question, the person in front of Annuo had just finished exchanging his coins.
The exchange record officer sat behind the desk and said to An Nuo, "Hello, please show me the monsters you hunted!"
Bang!
An Nuo took off the big bag from his back and put it on the table.
The recorder opened the backpack and saw the ears, teeth, tails, horns and other parts of hundreds of monsters.
These parts are relatively important parts of the monster.
If you want to take it down, there will definitely be a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, some parts have value in themselves and can be used to make potions or create equipment.
This is also the reason why the exchange office gives a bounty, and the price is higher than the normal purchase price of merchants.
Unfortunately, the rewards for many low-level monster parts are not that high.
Most of what Anno showed were of the second order.
The reward for one hundred monsters was only one thousand gold coins - Annuo planned to sell the remaining monster parts in other cities.
Although the price would be a little lower, they didn't know that these were all killed by Annuo in a short period of time, so naturally they would not attract attention.
The fourth-level lizardman chieftain killed by Anno could be identified as a mid-level lizardman from the ring-shaped features inside his tail.
Bounty: 1,700 gold coins!
In addition to Asa and the Lizardman Chieftain, Anno also had seven fourth-level summons, and Anno took out two of them.
They all rely on parts that can prove their mid-level status.
The bounty for three fourth-tier monster parts totals 5,000 gold coins.
In other words, An Nuo received a bounty of more than 6,000 gold coins.
This is when Annuo is very low-key.
However, it still shocked some professionals at the exchange office.
Many people know that Annuo was only at level three before.
Even if I successfully break through to the fourth level this time, I can't directly kill three fourth-level monsters!
We have to come back and learn the fourth-level skills to improve our combat effectiveness!
Not to mention that every fourth-level monster has at least dozens or hundreds of subordinates around him.
This is simply not something a professional who has just entered the fourth level can do.
It takes a lot of people's cooperation.
But Annuo's team only consists of him, a human, a succubus and a wolf.
"Annuo, you...how did you kill so many fourth-level monsters?"
