Chapter 213: Chapter 162: Am I a Taciturn Black Dragon?

When he was a corrupt official, it took only a little embezzlent for him to end up on the gallows.

As for this dog of a corrupt official in the bounty quest, his death must have been even more tragic.

The king who built The City of Gold… was but a sparrow.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the sparrow behind.

The corrupt official is the mantis, and the sparrow is the king.

The corrupt official bore the infamy while all the gold and silver treasures fell into his treasury, and he even secretly built a Gold City.

If the so-called Gold City is truly a tomb made of gold in the shape of a city, then the appearance of the Gold City should mirror that of the capital of the kingdom….

No, that’s not right. The blueprints of the Gold City were drawn by the corrupt official, so the Gold City built by the king might not resemble the kingdom’s capital at all.

I almost misled redith and the others.

No wonder it is a collaborative bounty task.

The Gold City may be larger than the mbers of the Bounty Guild imagine, and the environnt more complex.

The task level is definitely [death-level].

The Bronze Bounty Guild dispatched 27 mbers all at once, even the receptionist and Billboard Girl redith with her bunny ears joined in, proving just how seriously they were taking this bounty quest.

The bounty must be hefty.

Of course, that doesn’t exclude these guys from the Bronze Bounty Guild who might want to witness the legendary Gold City for themselves.

Even I, Black Dragon, when I hear the three words “The Lost Golden City,” feel the urge to take a look, not to ntion these fellows who like to join in the excitent.

“Old man, are you tempted?”

“Actually, a little. What if… I bring the Holy Blue Knight Legion with , and we explore The Lost Golden City together?”

“???”

The old man is sowhat overbearing and domineering.

We have seen the Holy Blue Knight Legion of Saint Blue City. They ride on Earth Dragons, with the two leaders mounted on Flying Dragons.

Such force… Just the expense of the journey alone would cost tens of thousands of Gold Coins, and upon entering other kingdoms’ territories, they might even be subject to inspections. Without formal procedures, there’s a chance they could be detained.

Leading the Knight Legion… is not practical.

“Old man, are you willing to pay tens of thousands in Gold Coins for the expense?”

“I was just talking. The Holy Blue Knight Legion is not that large. If I really took them away, other powers could take the opportunity to attack Saint Blue, and Saint Blue might disappear from the Red Maple Kingdom. I’m just teasing you, don’t take it seriously.”

He would not deploy the Holy Blue Knight Legion for such adventurous treasure hunting; he could just take a Dragon Whelp.

The only task for the Holy Blue Knight Legion is to protect their Saint Blue.

He could not stay in Saint Blue forever. In so ti, he might leave Saint Blue with a Dragon Whelp.

The mbers of the Bronze Bounty Guild are in luck. They ca to Saint Blue to have fun and visit this old man, and he had not left Saint Blue yet.

“The Lost Golden City,” this bounty task has no ti limit?”

“We need to arrive at the task location by the end of the month. If we can clear a path to the Gold City within half a month, our task will be considered complete. After that, we can choose to stay on in the Gold City.”

If we want to stay in the Gold City, we can take on the next phase of the bounty quest, which pays more than the first stage.

If we don’t want to take on the second stage of the bounty quest, we can choose to leave, or we can choose to go on a free exploration in the Gold City.

If we choose the latter, we do so at our own risk. If the mbers of the Bounty Guild all unfortunately perish within the Gold City… it has nothing to do with the employer.”

A collaborative bounty task can be converted into a phased task once the objective is reached.

The employer who posted this bounty quest… must be extrely wealthy.

“You all take care. In the next few days, I will prepare so more Extraordinary Elixirs for you. When you leave, take them with you. In case of danger… the Extraordinary Elixirs I concoct might co in handy.”

“Old man, you are so good to us. redith likes you the most.”

Lance gave the bunny-eared girl redith a punch, “Speak properly.”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch… Your punch has made my bunny ears unable to stand up straight.”

Wincing in pain, redith touched her bunny ears and said, “Old man, this bounty task is too dangerous and not suitable for you as a Potion Master. If the level of this bounty quest was just a little lower, we would have called you.”

So, no matter how much you are tempted, we are not going to take you. However… if we really can enter The Lost Golden City, when we co back, we will try to bring you back a large piece of gold, and give it to you as a New Year’s gift.”

“Don’t be too greedy. Always leave a way out, as sotis it can save your own life. As for the gold, I will find and earn it myself.”

Bounty Guild mbers who are too greedy often don’t live long.

Especially in the bounty quests of the adventure-treasure-hunting type, ordinarily non-greedy people… upon entering ancient underground cities where gold and jewels are strewn about, may well beco greedy.

Those who are already greedy will have their rationality devoured upon seeing such treasures.

Lose rationality, lose the ability to think, and that’s not far from death.

“Don’t worry, old man, we’ve followed you on quite a few bounty quests, so we know very well how you operate.”

The things we should be greedy for… we will definitely be greedy. For those we shouldn’t, even if we see mountains of gold and silver in front of us, we will turn and leave without hesitation.”

They had tead up with Old Man Lance before. A man like him, who is so greedy for riches, sotis can give up even heaven-sent treasures.

And he never burnt his bridges.

Believe it or not, the old man’s way of doing things has indeed saved them from death’s door many tis.

Influenced by Old Man Lance, the mbers of the Bronze Bounty Guild don’t burn their bridges when they take on bounty quests and go out on missions.
