Gold coin is justice

Chapter 21: Monsters Illustrated Book and Map

After the observation, Ai Luo made some bread for the worm. After the bloody worm went around the bread a few times, it finally climbed up and slowly ate the bread.

While it was eating bread, Airo went to the underground warehouse to find a wine barrel and threw the bloody worm in it.After confirming that it could not bite through the barrel, he closed the lid and told Brad to place the barrel in the warehouse behind.

It was late into the night after all this was done, and Ai Luo yawned, also asking everyone to go back to rest and raise their spirits.

After everyone went back to the room to rest, Ai Luo finally confirmed the guild's doors and windows, rubbed his shoulders and went upstairs, and went back to his room.

Just before closing the door, the cat slowly floated in again.

Closing the door, Ai Luo took off his hat to relax his hair, rubbed his slightly stiff neck and walked to the table, and started to organize the two-day adventure log with the lights.

Napa dangled in front of Ai Luo, staring straight at Ai Luo with big eyes, but did not speak.

"How is the children's class in these two days? They didn't treat you like that."

While writing, Airo asked.

The cat raised its paw and slapped it on the paper: "Those kids are annoying, but don’t forget that it’s easy for me to deal with bear kids. In contrast, you are the one you are. The most worrying one."

Ai Luo smiled and picked up the pen to continue writing, but Napa still pressed the paper, obviously not planning to give up——

"I hope you can firmly remember that you are an ordinary person without any martial arts or magical powers. You are not a young guy named Ai Luo, but a little girl named Ariel. I wanted you to be able to The formation of the Adventurer’s Guild is to think that I can take risks with you. With me, many things will not be so troublesome. But why have you refused to let me go on missions with you? This time you are lucky to come back, but What about next time? I don't want the guild leader whom I promised to accidentally die in the hands of a goblin."

Ai Luo raised his head and made contact with Napa.

From the cat's eyes, Ai Luo did not see any cunning or deceit, only deep worries.

To be honest, Airo felt a little warm in his heart after seeing such a look.Since the formation of the guild, members can only see self-confidence in the eyes of their own president, so this is the first time that Aylor has seen the other's worries about him...

Although, this other person is a cat.

"So..."

Ai Luo supported his head with one hand and laughed—

"Will you tell me your story? Why do you want me to form an adventurer's guild? How many secrets are still hidden in you?"

Napa thought for a while, but didn't answer.

Ai Luo smiled and said: "We all have secrets. Not letting you participate in the guild mission is not because I don't trust you, but because I really want to grow our guild."

Napa looked up: "What do you mean?"

Airo: "From the first day I met you, I knew you were very strong. Your magic power may be very deep, and you have a lot of knowledge that I don't know."

"If I just say my own words, then I will find you to deal with any problems immediately. But if our guild is handled by both of us, what will our guild members do? How will they grow?"

In an instant, Napa's ears raised.

"The Mermaid Song is not just our two guilds, but also Brad, Buffy, and Coco’s guilds. Even if I fail after three years and this guild disappears, then I hope that the three of them can master enough Skills are self-reliant. Rather than thinking about asking me or you to help after encountering something. Is this answer okay?"

"Wait, if you fail in three years, this guild will disappear?"

Napa seemed to notice a point that Aylor hadn't thought of.The cat flew up and came to Airo's sight level: "What's the matter with the guild disappearing? What will happen if you fail to collect 1,000 gold coins in three years?"

Airo hesitated a little, but soon, the signature smile rose on his face again.He nodded lightly and smiled: "Don't worry about things that are still far away. In fact, this time of expedition made me think that I might have gone the wrong way. After all, there are too many forks."

With that, Airo took out a wad of paper from his backpack and spread it out on the table.

Some papers have maps drawn on them, while others have terrain descriptions, and the serial numbers correspond to each other.

"When I was in the capital, I didn’t mention the monsters with this bloody worm when I got news from the gold mine. And the provider of the news is not a very powerful adventurer. I don’t think those people have experienced the same adventure as ours. Then he walked away all over, and he didn't even want to mention a word with contempt for the blood worm."

"So, it is more likely that we have taken the wrong road, and this road does not lead to a gold mine. Let's look for another road when we go again."

Napa seemed to want to say something, but Aylor didn't intend to go on talking with the cat in detail.

He picked up Napa, opened the crack in the door and placed it on the floor outside.Facing Napa’s worried eyes, Airo shrugged and smiled: "Don’t worry, the best thing an economic man can do is to calculate his own gains and losses. I know when my limits are, and I will take care of them. Don't worry about your own safety."

Seeing the door closed in front of her, Napa's tail swayed slightly and her ears seemed to droop.

After hesitating for a while, this monster finally floated downstairs slowly and lay down on his cushion.Before falling asleep, it raised its head again and glanced at the president's room on the second floor.

You can still see from the crack in the door, the light is still on...

-September 5, 1301.Adventure (two days): -8 copper.Balance: 81 gold, 2 silver and 7 copper——

The work of the guild begins with commission.

But the end of a commission is far from ending after the adventure ends and returning to the guild.

Just like many jobs that seem the most boring and boring, the most exciting and exciting parts often only occupy the smallest part of a job.However, the number of parts that need to be perfected is large enough to make people startling.

Airo knew he was not an adventurer.

Not only is it not an adventurer, but even a slightly stronger human being.

The female physical characteristics make it impossible for Airo to wield a huge hammer and stand at the forefront of the team like Brad, and the lack of magical affinity will not allow this president to show magical power like Coco.

However, he did not position himself as an adventurer.

He is the president.

Since he is the president, he must do all kinds of follow-up auxiliary work.

Airo knew that after the commission was over, Brad, Buffy, and Coco completed their work.

But there is a lot of copywriting work in front of me.

The first and most critical thing is the topographic survey of the mine.

After entering the mine, Airo was recording his steps, and every time he reached the bifurcation point, he used the time marked by cream to record the length of the walk and the height difference of the mine on the paper.If you encounter a place that needs to be moved forward carefully, it will also be marked.

It was just a long time of mine adventure, after returning to his mind, Ai Luo found that he had recorded almost thirty sheets of paper, most of which were descriptions of maps.

So the next thing to do is to rearrange a map that looks simple and understandable based on these explorations.

The mine had been abandoned for hundreds of years, and Airo couldn't guarantee that the previous map would still be on the market.

This job is time-consuming, and he has been doing it the night he came back, all night.

At this time, he also began to rejoice that his grades in school were pretty good. The economics students must learn to organize and guide the data. This also made him startled when the first ray of sunlight came into the window in the early morning. He didn't sleep all night.

"Huh... the map is ready like this."

With two dark circles and huge bags under his eyes, Ai Luo looked at the simple hand-drawn map on his desk.On a piece of paper the size of half a table, he has recorded in detail the mine road he walked through, marking the height difference in it.Some roads have not been visited, so only a dotted line is left. When a dead end is encountered, it is painted solid.

"I still read fewer books... I remember that there were some books on graphics in the college... Alas, I didn't think it was necessary at the time, so I didn't read it. Otherwise, I can make it cleaner and tidy now."

Holding the pen, Airo looked at the light coming in from the window and turned his eyes back to the map again.

With the terrain, the next step is to mark the places that need attention.

Should those carved ancient characters be written?

It may not make much sense if you write it up... But if you don't write it, it will cause your own map to lack professionalism.Besides, if you really write it up, someone will not be able to answer when someone asks what these words mean.

Ai Luo held the pen to his lips for a long time, and finally decided to mark them all.

Even if you can't answer it for the time being, you can still make the products of your guild appear to be responsible.

"Okay, then... here will start to heat up, you need to bring enough drinking water in advance, or prepare water magic to deal with the high temperature. The continuous high temperature and depressive environment may make people mentally unbalanced, please try to adjust your mentality... Yes, the remark is complete."

After that, at the very end of the map, write the words "Blood Worm Gathering Place".

In this way, the first version of the map is even drawn.

But this is not over yet.

Ai Luo put the map aside, picked up a piece of paper again, and pasted the bloody worm that was hand-painted on the large piece of paper.After thinking about everything about the blood worm in my mind, I started to write.

————

Monster: Bloodworm

Size: slightly larger than the palm of an adult

Eating habits: omnivorous may be observed at present.There is no witness of the same kind of predation, and it is possible to rely on microorganisms such as moss or lichen in the cave for food (presumably)

Environment: humid, dark, and not very windy area

Appearance: The body surface is soft and smooth, and the texture is red or dark red. No obvious mouthparts can be seen on the surface, but there is a small disc-shaped opening on the front side of the body, presumed to be a feeding port.

Habits: Like to cling to the rock wall in groups, not to move when it is dark, but will start to act vigorously and violently in light.But when you leave the group, you will become very docile, and your desire to attack will be minimized.It may not be offensive to be held in the arms (this is speculation).There is an instinct for chasing objects with strong fragrance, but not all bloodworms will act in such a rigid manner.

Strength: Don't be afraid of flames, you can put on the torches head-on when facing the burning torches discarded on the ground.But it is impossible to prove that the flame temperature is too low, or that he is not afraid of flames.If the flame temperature is too low, using high-heat flame magic should be able to knock it back.But if you are naturally immune to fire, it is not recommended to use any fire attacks.

Weaknesses: It can be physically killed with various weapons, and it is extremely fragile.It is not so much a weakness as a weakness that can be trampled to death with just one foot.But relying on its huge number to make up for its weak strength.

Coping method: The blood worm will explode its own body fluids at the moment of death, which is a strong smell of toilets that have not been washed in ten years.No matter it is killed by any means, body fluids will explode, which seems to be a way of their behavior.

But if the body fluid of the blood worm is covered all over the body, even after every hair, this monster seems to treat it as its own kind and will no longer attack.You can leave the area where the blood worm is located at this time.The foul liquid on the body can be removed with "purification" magic.

Therefore, cautiously killing some of the blood worms in an area slightly far away and applying them to yourself is a simple way to pass.But because observing the area where the blood worm is located, there may be monsters hunting the blood worm afterwards (this is speculation), so this method is best used when preparing to leave.

At present, no method has been found to pass the bloody worm area without using the above method.

Monster strength evaluation: single, no threat.Group, there is a certain threat.

————

After writing these, Airo is still thinking about where he can continue to add.But there was a knock on the door.

"President brother, are you up yet? It's time for breakfast."

Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment before he picked up his hat in a panic, and opened the door after putting it on briefly.

When the door was opened, Cocoa outside was shocked. The little girl held Aylor's hand nervously: "Chairman brother! What's wrong with you? Why are you looking so bad?!"

Ai Luo yawned, and said lazily: "It's okay, I slept too late last night. Well, I can sleep for a while later."

"Really? But..."

"Okay, okay, stop it, go to breakfast now. Yawn~~~"

Going downstairs with Coco, Airo still felt the pain of malaise after all.

Once I left work, my whole mind became muddled and unclear.

But there is no way. If you don't write it down quickly while the memory is still clear, it will be difficult to do if you forget what went wrong.

When he went downstairs, Brad had already put a large bowl of bread on the dining table.Seeing Ai Luo coming downstairs, the soldier immediately opened the chair to serve Ai Luo to sit down, and Buffy held a milk jug and poured a glass for Ai Luo.

Taking a bite of the bread and taking a sip of milk, Airo swayed his slightly groggy head and asked, "What time is it?"

Coco glanced at the time: "It's half past seven in the morning. In another one and a half hours, those kids will be coming to class."

Damn, forget about this...

Ai Luo turned his head and glanced at Napa over there with a look of expectation.But the cat seemed to have seen nothing, and continued to add fur there, combing his hair, as if it had nothing to do with himself.

Ok!Hand is quick when you can't take money, and stinky when you pay.

Take a sip of milk again: "Are there any orders for this morning?"

The guild members sat down on both sides of the dining table and ate breakfast together.Brad tore off a small piece of bread and placed it in Buffy's hand. The flower demon licked the bread and said, "Morning, no. Yuan, Yuanyuan, come—"

This is Airo encouraging her to talk more often so that she can learn human language as soon as possible.I have to say that this flower fairy is indeed a bit smarter than Brad and Coco. Although it can't organize sentences well, it has already begun to boldly try.

Brad: "The Mayor of Round Cheese has come to deliver today's pie."

It's a pity that Brad seemed to care too much about his partner's bad words, and quickly finished the sentence.

With nothing to say, Buffy turned her head away and glared at Brad with a bulging look.Seeing that, it seemed that the bread in his hand was about to be thrown over in the next moment.

Airo nodded and squinted for a moment.

Regardless of how much tuition was charged at the time, the pie fee of 4 coppers for forty students every day is not a small amount.

Hey, let's talk about it, it's not yet time to reap the results.At the beginning of the business, if you don't work hard, where will there be any relaxing moments?

"If there is no commission today, Brad, you will let me buy more paper later."

"Good chairman. Want to write an advertisement again?"

Airo drank the milk in his sip again: "What are you writing about advertising? I'll go to Napa to collect 2 copper coins and buy a hundred sheets of paper. Today I want you and Coco to copy something. Practice calligraphy."

After cocoa finished eating, she sat on the seat with her little branch, tilted her head to look at Airo, who was looking at the side with no energy, and asked, "President brother, what should I write?"

"I have sorted out some maps and materials for the mine. When you get back from buying the paper, you can copy ten copies each. You can sell them later."

Three or two bites, after eating bread and drinking milk, Ai Luo stretched out, pointed to his room and yawned and said, "I'll go back to sleep for another hour, and wait until the students come to see me again. You guys, too. You can't be late for class if you buy the paper, you know?"

After speaking, Ai Luo continued to stumble upstairs, closing the door in the eyes of everyone.

Brad below started to pack up the food. He hesitated when he picked up Airo's milk glass and said, "You said, is it because we are too useless? That's why the president is so tired?"

Coco pursed his mouth and turned to Napa over there after thinking about it: "Vice President, when can I start learning alchemy?"

Napa was already lying comfortably on the cushion, after a long time she raised her head, glanced lazily at Coco from the corner of her eyes, and yawned——

"Wait until you can recognize all the text you want to copy today."
