Chapter 348: Don’t Grab It because You Can’t Beat It

"Damn it!"

Justin brandished his long sword and rushed towards Tang En angrily, trying to take him down immediately, and then threatened those people to stop.

At this time, Vanilla cut off Justin's sword with a crisp hand, and pinched his neck with her backhand.

"What, what's going on——"

Before Justin could recover, Vanilla threw him hard and he was planted into the ground.

Looking at the confused Justin, Vanilla curled her lips: "What a weak warrior..."

Tang En squatted in front of Justin with a happy face and said, "Well, Mr. **, we can now talk about the compensation issue."

"W-what compensation?"

In a panic, Justin was not even in the mood to think about why this man called him Mr. "Jie".

Fiona said expressionlessly: "Of course it's the compensation for stealing the Lord's property without authorization and selling it to others, causing the Lord's losses."

Fiona's string of words confused Justin, and he finally heard only one sentence clearly.

"Lord, Lord Lord!?"

"That's right, Zhan... the person squatting in front of you is the lord of this place, the noble Earl Tang En!"

After Fiona finished speaking calmly, she secretly kicked Tang En's butt, signaling him to pay attention to her aristocratic image.

Tang En looked at Justin, as if he was sizing up a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered: "Since he is a member of a famous guild, he must be able to give out a lot of gold coins to redeem people... Speaking of gold coins, Locke."

"exist!"

"Let the brothers empty their money bags. These are our Ellington's properties."

Locke chuckled: "No problem! I'm good at this job!"

As a mercenary, his keen sense of wealth allows him to not let go of anything valuable. These unlucky guys were completely defeated when they met him.

"Wait, wait!"

Justin, who was extremely pale, shouted hurriedly, but Locke had already left. He shouted in panic: "Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"

"I don't think so...tell me, how many gold coins can your leader give to redeem people?"

A cold long sword was placed on Justin's neck. Looking at the other party's joking eyes, Justin swallowed hard and said timidly: "Misunderstanding... I, we are not actually Sisa. Members of the Force..."

"Um?"

"I, what I said is true!"

Justin felt the cold blade touch the skin of his neck, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a hurry: "It's true! We are just a third-rate small mercenary group! This time I heard the news about the underground world, so Come try your luck. After seeing the Power of Sisa and their fellows digging light crystals deep underground, I had an idea. I took my brothers and pretended to be members of the Power of Sisa, and stayed here specifically to dig out light crystals from those who needed them. Take a cut from the people’s hands!”

"Disguised as a member of the Power of Sisa to collect money here?"

Tang En was dumbfounded: "Are you crazy about money? Aren't you afraid of being retaliated by people with the power of Sisa?"

In the mercenary industry, it is taboo to pretend to be another mercenary group and do bad things.

When mercenaries first emerged, many sworn enemies liked to do this to tarnish their opponent's reputation. In the end, the entire industry was tarnished and everyone had almost no time to play. At this time, the mercenary guild gathered. The most powerful mercenary groups formulated the rules of this industry and severely punished pretenders, and then this industry began to develop healthily.

Justin laughed dryly and said: "The main force coming to the underground world now is the mercenary group. After hearing us say the name of Sissa's power, no one dared to mess around. They all paid the money honestly. We were also forced to I have no choice, so I have to take the risk to make a fortune here. Besides, the people with the power of Sisa have been down there for more than ten days and they haven’t come up yet..."

"Then you forget about time. Once you get addicted to making money, you don't want to leave. After you make a fortune, you still want to make a second fortune, right?"

Justin was speechless.

Benefits can always blind people's eyes and prevent them from seeing danger.

Looking at the gold coins copied by Locke and the others, Tang En patted Justin's cheek and said with a smile: "These gold coins should be considered as a lesson to you. Listen to me and go back quickly. This place is not for you little shrimps to play with." A place to turn.”

"I, I know..."

Tang En grabbed him by the neck, pulled him out of the ground, and then said with a kind face: "You should be happy, at least, you won't die in the underground world."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Justin nodded repeatedly, the situation was weaker than others, what could he say?

After expelling the clowns, Tang En's face became serious: "The situation doesn't seem to be good."

"What's wrong?"

Tang En explained: "General adventurers have limited penetration into the area, so they will often return to the supply point to bring out resources and gain profits at the same time. Although large mercenary groups can penetrate into more areas, because of the large number of people, So supplies are also very troublesome. After the initial exploration reaches a certain level, you will return here to obtain supplies and formulate the next exploration plan."

At this point, Tang En's expression suddenly became serious: "However, the power of Sisa has never returned. This either means that they encountered some danger and were trapped, or there is some huge benefit that attracts them. They keep going deeper underground, forgetting the importance of returning.”

Locke came to the side at this time and added: "Cisa is a powerful and shrewd mercenary. He is very calm and will not be easily tempted by the interests in front of him. The interests that can impress even him are probably extraordinary. "

"The underground world is very rich in elements, rich in magical mineral resources, and also rich in magical plant resources. I wouldn't be surprised if they encounter any good things."

Tang En shook his head, getting rid of these messy thoughts, and said: "Hurry up and dig the light crystal, we are ready to go."

Ten minutes later, Tang En and his group set off again. It took them half an hour to pass through the huge light crystal cave along the twisted path.

At the end of the light crystal cave is a wall full of caves. Several caves have been marked with "dead ends", proving that these caves have been explored, but several caves are marked with red. Danger signs, those passages should lead to more dangerous areas.

In addition to the caves below, there are also many caves above the caves, and those are supposed to be passages through which gargoyles fly.

When a group of adventurers sitting in front of the caves saw Tang En and the others, their eyes lit up and they immediately shouted: "Come over and take a look. It's the most sophisticated exploration map so far! Every dangerous area is covered with It has been marked, and all the places that everyone has explored so far have been mapped, making it a must-have for underground exploration!”

Fiona's eyes lit up when she heard there was a map: "How much does it cost?"

She immediately thought that with a map, it would be easy to delineate the scope of the lord's rights in the future - what a competent housekeeper.

After those people stared at Tang En's team for a while, they whispered a few words to each other, and then one of the men with a scarred face said, "If you want to buy it, I'll give you two hundred gold coins."

Fiona exclaimed: "What!? Two hundred gold coins for a map!? Why don't you go grab it!?"

Another person glanced at the shiny armor on Depp and the others, and curled his lips: "We really want to steal it, but we can't beat you."

Tang En: "..."

Fiona: "..."

Everyone: "..."

What an honest person.

The scar-faced man who spoke at the beginning glared at the companion next to him, and then said: "Ahem, our maps are not sold by shares, but by heads, and we have already given you a discount. Such a precious map, It was drawn by countless people with their lives, and we spent a lot of money to buy the information."

"If it's too cheap, it's not suitable. If it's too expensive, no one will be willing to buy it. So it's the most suitable one per capita. If you can afford such a good armor, it only costs two hundred gold coins. It shouldn't be hard to get it." Bar?"

Fiona hesitated. She has always been responsible for Ellington's finances, but now she is becoming more and more miserly. She doesn't want to spend a single coin on non-essential expenses. Although this map is a necessary expense, it is too expensive. .

Tang En threw out a money bag: "Here's one, no need to count, there are two hundred gold coins in it, that's right."

"Lord! You can obviously bargain..."

Facing Fiona's dissatisfaction, Tang En said with a smile: "Don't be too stingy, this money is additional income anyway."

Fiona suddenly came to her senses: Yes, after all, it was the money just stolen from Justin, which is equivalent to getting it for nothing!

Thinking of this, Fiona immediately felt much better.

Although Tang En said there was no need to count, of course they would not be so stupid as not to count. After counting the number of gold coins, the scar-faced man took out a rough parchment roll and handed it to Tang En: "Sheng Hui, two hundred coins." gold."

Tang En opened the parchment roll on the spot. Fiona next to her looked over and almost turned her nose in anger: "What the hell kind of map is this!?"

The parchment is filled with dense numbers and various simple hand-drawn signs from top to bottom. There is neither a road map nor a reference object. This can be regarded as a map! ?

The scarred man's mouth twitched, feeling deeply that he couldn't communicate with laymen...

Tang En smiled and said: "Fiona, this is your fault, this is really a map."

Fiona glared at Tang En angrily: "Lord, how can you speak for them!?"

"This is really your fault." Tang En smiled and pointed to the circle numbered 1 at the top of the map, and then pointed to the cave in front: "This is the initial position. Did you find anything?"

Fiona took a closer look and saw a number engraved on the wall next to the cave entrance.

1.

After being stunned for a moment, Fiona came back to her senses and looked at the densely packed parchment again, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"This is actually a map..."
