Chapter 94 What are the prerequisites?
Endry also saw the appearance of the extraordinary object "Heart of the Stone Monster" for the first time.
No, to be precise, there should be few people in the world who have seen the appearance of the "Heart of the Stone Monster".
You know, creatures like the mountain-digging stone monster have not appeared in the empire for many years.
Most of the "Hearts of the Stone Monster" come from the primeval forests, hills and other areas outside the empire.
Therefore, almost every "Heart of the Stone Monster" can be sold at a sky-high price at the auction house, which is naturally much higher than a thousand imperial gold coins.
This is not in a county-level auction house like Meister County, but in the provincial auction houses of major provinces.
What he said before, "worth a thousand gold coins", of course, was just a statement to encourage everyone to fight.
Especially for those who need it, its value is actually difficult to estimate.
Like other night watchmen, Ryan also stared at the magical scene in front of him with wide eyes.
Hamilton was the first to react. He smiled and said to Ryan, "It seems that we are lucky!"
"Ryan, as the 'chief hero', you go and collect the heart of the stone monster. We will withdraw first!"
Now that our side has suffered heavy losses, it is definitely not a good idea to stay in the Elim Mine for a long time.
Who knows if there is another mountain-digging stone monster in this mine!
"Okay, Lord Hamilton!" Ryan nodded with a smile.
Faced with such a rare treasure, Ryan naturally wanted to feel it up close.
Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and swung his sword to chop at the chest of the mountain-digging stone monster.
Perhaps because the mountain-digging stone monster was already dead, Ryan's fine steel sword chopped it up this time, and the thick and hard rock layer on the
stone monster's chest actually fell off one after another, like debris. This made Ryan very relaxed, and he dug open the chest of the stone monster.
Soon, a strange heart about the size of a baby's head, emitting a gentle yellow light, appeared in front of Ryan.
It was also the first time that Ryan saw the so-called extraordinary object. He nervously put down the fine steel sword and took out the 'Heart of the Stone Monster' with both hands.
A warm touch with a special rhythm came from his fingertips and palms.
This feeling was very strange. It was the first time that Ryan felt this strange feeling.
[Ding! The host was detected to have touched the extraordinary object 'Heart of the Stone Monster', triggering the special advanced profession - Giant Stone Guard (Extraordinary)! ]
[The prerequisite for promotion to Giant Stone Guard is: ? ? ? The current conditions are not met, and the promotion to Giant Stone Guard failed! ]
Ryan was immediately stunned!
"Huh! It turned out to be a special extraordinary combat profession!"
"But what are the three question marks in the prerequisite?"
"Is it because the gap between me and this special advanced profession is too big?"
"Or is it because there is some uncertainty between me and this profession?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Ryan realized that this extraordinary object seemed to be of great use to him.
Immediately, Ryan turned around and said to Hamilton eagerly: "Lord Hamilton, can I buy the 'Heart of the Stone Monster' directly?"
Hamilton approached with the help of Willen, carefully looked at the 'Heart of the Stone Monster' emitting a gentle yellow light, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen the legendary 'Heart of the Stone Monster'"
"Ryan, how did you think of this? The price is not cheap, right?"
"Even if it is calculated based on the value of one thousand imperial gold coins, you need to hand over 30% of the spoils to the empire, so you need to take out 300 gold coins."
"Secondly, of the remaining 70% of the spoils, you must give at least 200 imperial gold coins to others including me."
Although Hamilton didn't know why Ryan suddenly took a fancy to this, he didn't object, but just said that Ryan needed to pay a large sum of money.
Ryan had thought of this a long time ago.
Since the last time he robbed the 'King of Dogs' Cole, he could still take out 300 gold coins immediately.
As for the remaining 200 gold coins, it would probably not be a big problem to scrape together.
"Of course! That's what I should do." Ryan was overjoyed to see Hamilton didn't object.
Hamilton looked at Ryan again in surprise. He didn't expect Ryan to want it so much. Five hundred imperial gold coins were not a small amount.
At this time, Endry on the side whispered to Schmidt.
Then, the butler Schmidt suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait!"
"According to the distribution regulations of the Night Watch Empire's spoils, 30% of this 'Heart of the Stone Monster' belongs to the Empire, and the remaining 70% can be distributed as spoils. Sir Hamilton, is that right?"
Ryan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Schmidt speak.
Because he thought of some of Endry's previous actions, he already vaguely knew what the other party was thinking.
"How shameless! Endri and Schmidt thought of escaping when they saw that the situation was at a disadvantage. Later, when they saw that the situation had turned around, they thought of getting a share of the spoils."
"And now, they want to interfere in the distribution of the spoils?"
Hamilton's face sank. He knew the nobles' routines very well and immediately understood the other party's intentions.
However, the other party was asking openly. At the same time, although the other party did not help in the battle, he represented the county city, the earl and the viscount after all. He obviously could not ignore it.
After a little thought, Hamilton had to nod and said, "Yes, Butler Schmidt, it is true."
The butler named Schmidt, seeing Hamilton nod in agreement, immediately said with a beaming face:
"As the representative of Earl Habs and Viscount Hamadi of the county city, I have the right to keep and appraise this 'Heart of the Stone Monster'."
"Of course, the distribution of 70% of the spoils to the warriors will not change!"
When Schmidt talked about the issue of spoils distribution, he seemed to have entered a familiar field, and his face was completely different from the state of being frightened by the mountain monster just now!
This made Hamilton, Ryan and a group of night watchmen feel as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly.
It was indeed a typical aristocratic face. When the interests were small, they could pretend to be generous and give Hamilton a face, such as when they were dealing with the crystal lizard just now.
But when the interests were too great, Hamilton's face was obviously not useful.
Ryan knew that all this seemed to be instigated by the so-called bard Endri.
"You'll be in charge of keeping and appraising the item?"
"When you return to the county town, you'll have the final say on the price."
Besides, when Endry saw the rock digger, he shouted "extinct", and Ryan knew that even the auction house couldn't estimate the exact price at once.
After all, out-of-print items are the most difficult to estimate. For
a moment, the empty mine car transfer yard was silent.
Although the elite Night Watchmen were all injured, they all glared at the butler Schmidt.
Ryan felt that he had to do something. After all, once the item was handed over to the other party for safekeeping and appraisal, the one who would suffer the most would be him, the "chief contributor"!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind.
He suddenly thought, why did the three bounty hunters rush up in a hurry?
If they had successfully killed the rock digger at that time, would the butler Schmidt have been able to help?
Of course not!
Because bounty hunters follow the most primitive rules for the distribution of spoils. Whoever completes the kill will have the right to distribute the spoils, and the others who help can only get a small share.
Therefore, under this distribution rule, bounty hunters will be fearless!
Bounty hunters, as the name suggests, do everything for the bounty!
Bounty is above everything!
This is written into the Imperial Code.
"Don't forget, I'm also a bounty hunter!"
Thinking of this, Ryan smiled.
Immediately, Ryan quickly pinned the bounty hunter emblem on his left chest and said, "Mr. Schmidt. I'm actually a bounty hunter."
"So, according to the Imperial Code, the bounty hunter who finally completes the kill will naturally get the right to distribute the spoils."
"So, this 'Heart of the Stone Monster', I'm sorry, can't be handed over to you for safekeeping."
"Because, this is my trophy!"
"How is this possible!!!" Schmidt said with a red face, like a drake being strangled by the neck.
"How can you be a bounty hunter? Aren't you a night watchman?!"
Endry was also staring at Ryan in amazement.
Ryan's showmanship simply blinded the two people's eyes!
Ryan smiled slightly.
He took off the junior bounty hunter badge on his chest, showed it to the two people, and said, "This is a genuine bounty hunter badge. Lord Hamilton helped me apply for it. I just got it a few days ago."
Ryan's words also stunned Hamilton and other night watchmen on the side.
Hamilton suddenly realized, and looked like you are really a smart guy who can think of such a way.
In addition, seeing Ryan who kept winking at him, Hamilton didn't know what to do.
After all, if the meat is rotten in your own pot, anyone can eat it.
But if even the pot is moved away by others, no one will have anything to eat!
Everyone understood this truth instantly.
"Yes, I just forgot that I invited Ryan to help with this mission as a bounty hunter." Hamilton patted his forehead and made the final decision.
Even the leader of the Night Watch in Shimmering Gold Town believed that Ryan came to participate in the investigation as a bounty hunter, so what is there to argue about!
This made Endry on the side so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
So, under the gaze of everyone, Ryan happily put the "Heart of the Stone Monster" emitting a soft yellow light into his waist bag.
As for offending the representatives of the county city, are you not afraid? If
you get the extraordinary treasure, even if you can't use it for the time being, you can ask Hamilton to exchange it for an advanced potion of the Giant Bear Breathing Method. Is that a problem?
Then you will become a formal knight, so do you still need to be afraid of a representative?
Don't forget that a representative is always just a representative.
"As for the distribution of benefits between me, Hamilton and other night watchmen, I can discuss it with Hamilton after I go back."
"At least, the things can't fall into the hands of outsiders."
"On this point, my interests and Hamilton's are the same!"
After putting the 'Heart of the Stone Monster' in his pocket, Ryan remembered to check the system prompts.
