"Okay, time to get down to business."
After drinking a few glasses in a row, Will filled his and Livia's glasses again, but this time he did not touch the glasses. Instead, he looked at Livia seriously.
"Um."
Livia also straightened herself slightly, looking at Will and waiting for his next words.
"As a bounty hunter, you can take any job as long as it's profitable, but I usually don't take those...
It’s too tedious and shady work, so I don’t know the price of those tasks.”
Will said with a serious face.
It was a tedious and shady job. Livia roughly guessed what Will was talking about. It was nothing more than assassination, frame-up and other conspiracies, which were very common in any world.
"Regarding my mission of delivering the letter this time, there is no specific price for this type of mission. It depends on how you view it."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "What I can tell you is the approximate rewards for bounty missions involving some monsters or materials. Take the most common water ghosts for example. They usually act in groups of several, so the general mission is to clear out a small group. The reward is about 30 farongs to 1 farong. It depends on their specific number and threat level, as well as how much the employer is willing to pay."
Livia frowned, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, this was too little, the two of them had spent almost more than ten farongs in the tavern today.
Seeing Livia's expression, Will chuckled and said, "You think it's too little? In fact, it's already pretty good. For water ghosts, basically a well-trained soldier on the shore can deal with two of them. The people who hire you to deal with water ghosts are basically villagers in small villages, and most of the young and middle-aged people are conscripted. At the end of the year, each family can only have less than one farong left. How much more do you want?"
After hearing his explanation, Livia suddenly realized, "In fact, if you can dissect a well-preserved water ghost brain and find a buyer, you can probably sell it for 20 to 50 farongs, which is even more than the reward for the mission, provided that you can accept the disgusting smell and appearance."
Will looked at Livia and said with a smile.
Livia thought of the water ghosts she met by the river before, smiled bitterly and shook her head. Forget about things like water ghost brains. There is no need for them if you are not really short of money.
"There are also some common quests. The beasts or ghouls are basically within 5 farongs. If it is a ghoul group led by a giant ghoul...
It can probably increase to several hundred Farrons, but I don't recommend you to take this kind of mission, it's too dangerous."
At this point, Will put away the smile on his face and spoke seriously.
Livia listened attentively and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know how dangerous the giant ghoul is."
After hearing Livia's serious answer, Will nodded and continued to talk about the rewards for other common monster hunting missions.
"Werewolf missions..." "Ogres and the like..." "..." "In short, normal missions are usually between 50 farongs and 10 farongs. There is no specific standard for the rewards of high-level monsters. You have to analyze the identity and situation of the person who issued the mission. If the reward is low, there should be no big surprises. If the reward is far from the normal price, you have to be careful."
Will seemed to have thought of something and emphasized it solemnly.
Livia took notes carefully, and suddenly remembered that what Will had been talking about was only about monsters, and nothing about people, just like the Blood Mist Sect this time.
So he asked curiously, "What about the missions regarding the cult and so on?"
Will frowned at his question and tapped his hands on the greasy counter, making a dull thumping sound.
There was silence for a moment, and just when Livia was embarrassed and wanted to change the subject, he spoke in a low voice: "This kind of task is the tedious and shady one I mentioned before. If you really plan to get involved in this kind of task and things, I can only give you a piece of advice, never think that your position is just, and never be a messenger of justice or a good person!
We are just bounty hunters...
Not a hero.”
Livia was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said, "I understand..." This world is cruel and dark. Ordinary people don't even have a glimmer of hope in their lives. There is no distinction between good and evil, only opposition of positions. Heroes are just titles in fairy tales. The hero in your eyes may be the devil in the eyes of others...
He sighed silently in his heart.
The two of them didn't say anything else, but picked up their glasses and drank slowly.
"Oh, that's right...
Where's Bandy?"
After a moment, Livia suddenly spoke to break the silence.
"Um?
He was placed under house arrest by Delon. After the matter in Kovag is over, Delon will send a letter to the lord of Chinoxi. If there are no special circumstances, he should be stripped of his sorcery seed and become a citizen of Kovag."
“Oh…” Livia nodded.
He thought that they would be tied to a cross and burned to death like witches were dealt with in the Middle Ages.
But think about it, there is no Catholicism in this world, and basically all human religious sects are labeled as cults. Moreover, this is a world with extraordinary power. Although the wizards are weak now, they are still the strongest group of people in the world. Anyone who dares to label them as heretics will be burned to death.
"But I think Delon will become the lord of Kovagr. I'm a little envious. As a knight, he will get a territory equivalent to that of a normal viscount."
Will said with a smile as he sipped the wine in his glass.
"Um?
But before this, Marco...
Isn't he the Count?"
Livia noticed the difference in his words and said with some confusion.
"Oh……
That was because he was left alone before and naturally inherited the title of earl of his family. Now the kingdom has turned its attention here again, and the Coral family has completely lost its heir, so naturally the title and the specific circumstances of the territory must be consistent. "
"But this is also a good thing for Kovag. He uses a title of earl that exists in name only to return to the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Savoy."
As he spoke, Will smacked his lips, seeming a little envious.
After all, as a bounty hunter who struggles for a living, he is somewhat envious of the lives of the nobles. Come to think of it, except for the legendary strongmen, the nobles have the best quality of life in this world. Who wouldn't be envious?
"Uh..." The sudden mumbling beside them interrupted the conversation between Livia and Will.
Are you finally awake?
Livia turned her head and looked at the man lying on the counter next to her who had been drunk for almost a day. In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a soldier with a good physical fitness to be drunk for a day just because of drinking some malt liquor. It can only be said that his heart is avoiding reality.
